It works on the Thunderbolt, correct?
I don't even use that feature at all, so it doesn't matter to me.Perhaps life is just that...a dream and a fear. - 03-27-11, 07:00 PM #6
It only works on the 4G phones (like ThunderBolt) and you have to be in a 4G coverage area since the data can't run on the CDMA network at the same time with voice. So, since not everyone can get 4G service, AT&T still does have a small advantage there. Of course AT&T's 3G coverage isn't all that great either, so it's not that hard to get left out with them either...
That said, I don't think that many people use that feature anyway, and I'd be willing to bet that a very large percentage of people don't even know they CAN do that. - 03-28-11, 01:14 AM #7

Yes, the Thunderbolt can make calls/do data at the same time in 3G, not just 4G. I used this feature recently in my college town, where I do not have 4G (I have 4G at home though) and the feature still worked like a charm.

I'm having trouble with this, how HTC does it doesn't appear to be the hurdle to me...Verizon's 3G standard is EV-DO (Evolution DATA ONLY). So unless the HTC uses a VoIP standard, or Verizon changed their 3G standard to EV-DV (Evolution Data & Voice), it wouldn't matter what HTC does, since it's Verizon's network that determines that capability. You guys sure there wasn't a wifi signal set up on that thing? I'm genuinely curious.
Cdma standard allows this. It must be an upgrade to the chipset for 3g on the thunderbolt. This means more phones in the future will have this capability.

I did some more reading up on it this morning and yep, it's definitely do-able. Possibly using a similar overlay as what is used for the PTT feature on some devices. Pretty cool. So, back to the OP, I would say that AT&T probably won't do much since VZW isn't actively pushing it I think, and, well, it's the only device doing it (?)...

Respond to Review of Good Food Conspiracy
by palmtree
Review: I am local, and live on the island. The Good Food Conspiracy is a great combination of knowledgeable staff, good food, and caring people. If they don't have "it" they will have something you can substitute for your need. If you want your "it" no matter, they will order "it" for you. The juice bar offers toasted wraps, fresh "scratch" made soups daily, and a variety of conventional, vegetarian and vegan baked goods, many from scratch as well. There's a small lunch counter inside, and a pretty garden out back. You can eat in or "take away." You can also order ahead for pick up. Good quality supplements, fresh produce, groceries, a juice bar and scratch baked goods too. This place fills a huge void in the lower Keys for better food choices, and I cannot say enough about the kind staff which is exceptionally knowledgeable. Owner, Marney Brown, is a wealth of information, and also has a wellness centered healing practice on site as well. I love this place, and am in the store typically once a day. Thank you to the Good Food Conspiracy, 30 years and still caring for us!

John the Apostle (Aramaic: ܝܘܚܢܢ ܫܠܝܚܐ Yohanan Shliha; Hebrew: יוחנן בן זבדי Yohanan Ben Zavdai c. AD 6 – c. 100) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. He was the son of Zebedee and Salome. His brother was James, who was another of the Twelve Apostles. Christian tradition holds that he outlived the remaining apostles and that he was the only one not to die a martyr's death. The Church Fathers consider him the same person as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, and the Beloved Disciple. The tradition of many Christian denominations holds that he is the author of several books of the New Testament.
Church tradition holds that John is the author of the Gospel of John and four other books of the New Testament — the three Epistles of John and the Book of Revelation. In the Gospel, authorship is internally credited to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" (ὁ μαθητὴς ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς, o pathētēs on ēgapa o Iēsous) in John 20:2. John 21:24 claims that the Gospel of John is based on the written testimony of the "Beloved Disciple". The authorship of some Johannine literature has been debated since about the year 200.[2][3] Some[by whom?] doubt that the "Gospel of John" was written by an individual named "John" (Ἰωάννης or יוחנן). Nevertheless, the notion of "John the Evangelist" exists, and is usually thought of as the same as the Apostle John.
In "The History of The Church", Eusebius says that the books of first John, and the gospel of John are heavily agreed upon as his. However, Eusibius mentions that the consensus is that second and third are not his, but of some other John. Eusebius also goes to some length to establish with the reader that there is no general consensus regarding the Revelation of John. The revelation of John could only be what is now called the book of Revelation.[4] The Gospel according to John differs considerably from the Synoptic Gospels, likely written decades earlier than John's Gospel. The bishops of Asia Minor supposedly requested him to write his gospel to deal with the heresy of the Ebionites, who asserted that Christ did not exist before Mary. John probably knew and undoubtedly approved of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, but these gospels spoke of Jesus primarily in the year following the imprisonment and death of John the Baptist.[5] Around 600, however, Sophronius of Jerusalem noted that "two epistles bearing his name ... are considered by some to be the work of a certain John the Elder" and, while stating that Revelation was written by John of Patmos, it was "later translated by Justin Martyr and Irenaeus",[1] presumably in an attempt to reconcile tradition with the obvious differences in Greek style.
Until the 19th century, the authorship of the Gospel of John had universally been attributed to the Apostle John. However, most modern critical scholars have their doubts.[6][7] Some scholars agree in placing the Gospel of John somewhere between AD 65 and 85,[8][page needed] John Robinson proposes an initial edition by 50–55 and then a final edition by 65 due to narrative similarities with Paul.[9]:pp.284,307 Other scholars are of the opinion that the Gospel of John was composed in two or three stages.[10]:p.43 Some contemporary scholars are of the opinion that the Gospel was not written until the latter third of the first century AD. The Dean of New Testament at Wake Forest University School of Divinity, Gail R O'Day, writes in her introduction to the Gospel in the New Revised Standard Translation of the Bible [11] "...a date of 75-80 CE as the earliest possible date of composition for this Gospel". Other scholars think that an even later date, perhaps even the last decade of the first century AD right up to the start of the 2nd century (i.e. 90 - 100), is applicable.[12]
Today, many theological scholars continue to accept the traditional authorship. Colin G. Kruse states that since John the Evangelist has been named consistently in the writings of early church fathers, "it is hard to pass by this conclusion, despite widespread reluctance to accept it by many, but by no means all, modern scholars."[13]
The Gospel of John was written by an anonymous author.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] According to Paul N. Anderson, the gospel "contains more direct claims to eyewitness origins than any of the other Gospel traditions".[23] F. F. Bruce argues that 19:35 contains an "emphatic and explicit claim to eyewitness authority".[24] Bart D. Ehrman, however, does not think the gospel claims to have been written by direct witnesses to the reported events.[16][25][26]
However, the Gospel's chapter 21 ends (at verse 24) with an explicit declaration unifying the witness and authorship, in the form of a literary device of postponement of the discovery of the identity of the mysterious "other disciple," and "disciple he loved," and "this man," the first two used multiple times across the expanse of eye-witness accounts:
The author of the Book of Revelation identifies himself as "John"[27] The early 2nd century writer, Justin Martyr, was the first to equate the author of Revelation with John the Apostle.[28] However, some biblical scholars now contend that these were separate individuals.[6][29]
John the Presbyter, an obscure figure in the early church, has also been identified with the seer of the Book of Revelation by such authors as Eusebius and Jerome.[citation needed]
John is considered to have been exiled to Patmos, during the persecutions under Emperor Domitian. Revelation 1:9 says that the author wrote the book on Patmos: "I, John, both your brother and companion in tribulation... was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." Adela Yarbro Collins, a biblical scholar at Yale Divinity School, writes:
Some modern higher critical scholars have raised the possibility that John the Apostle, John the Evangelist, and John of Patmos were three separate individuals.[31] These scholars assert that John of Patmos wrote Revelation but neither the Gospel of John nor the Epistles of John. For one, the author of Revelation identifies himself as "John" several times, but the author of the Gospel of John never identifies himself directly. Some Catholic scholars state that "vocabulary, grammar, and style make it doubtful that the book could have been put into its present form by the same person(s) responsible for the fourth gospel".[32]
John the Apostle was the son of Zebedee and the younger brother of James, son of Zebedee (Saint James the Greater). According to Church tradition, their mother was Salome.[33] Zebedee and his sons fished in the Sea of Galilee. The brothers were firstly disciples of John the Baptist. Jesus then called Saint Peter, Saint Andrew and these two sons of Zebedee to follow him. James and John are listed among the Twelve Apostles. Jesus referred to the pair as "Boanerges" (translated "sons of thunder");[7] although their nature was calm and gentle, when their patience was pushed to its limits their anger became wild and thunderous causing them to speak out like an untamed storm. A gospel story relates how the brothers wanted to call down heavenly fire on a Samaritan town, but Jesus rebuked them. [Lk 9:51-6] John lived more than half a century after the martyrdom of James, who was the first Apostle to die a martyr's death.
Peter, James and John were the only witnesses of the raising of Daughter of Jairus.[34] All three also witnessed the Transfiguration, and these same three witnessed the Agony in Gethsemane more closely than the other Apostles did.[35]
Jesus sent only John and Peter into the city to make the preparation for the final Passover meal (the Last Supper).[Lk 22:8][36] At the meal itself, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" sat next to Jesus. It was customary to lie along upon couches at meals, and this disciple leaned on Jesus.[35] Tradition identifies this disciple as Saint John[Jn 13:23-25]. After the arrest of Jesus, Peter and the "other disciple" (according to Sacred Tradition), John followed him into the palace of the high-priest.[35]
John alone among the Apostles remained near Jesus at the foot of the cross on Calvary alongside myrrhbearers and numerous other women; following the instruction of Jesus from the Cross, John took Mary, the mother of Jesus, into his care as the last legacy of Jesus [Jn 19:25-27]. After Jesus' Ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, John, together with Peter, took a prominent part in the founding and guidance of the church. He is with Peter at the healing of the lame man in the Temple.[Ac 3:1 et seq.] With Peter he is also thrown into prison.[Acts 4:3] He is also with Peter visiting the newly converted in Samaria.[Acts 8:14]
While he remained in Judea and the surrounding area, the other disciples returned to Jerusalem for the Apostolic Council (about AD 51). Paul, in opposing his enemies in Galatia, recalls that John explicitly, along with Peter and James the Just, were referred to as "pillars of the church" and refers to the recognition that his Apostolic preaching of a gospel free from Jewish Law received from these three, the most prominent men of the messianic community at Jerusalem.[34]
According to the Book of Revelation, its author was on the island of Patmos "for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus", when he was honoured with the vision contained in Revelation.[Rev. 1:9]
The phrase the disciple whom Jesus loved (Greek: ὁ μαθητὴς ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ho mathētēs hon ēgapā ho Iēsous) or, in John 20:2, the Beloved Disciple (Greek: ὃν ἐφίλει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, hon ephilei ho Iēsous) is used five times in the Gospel of John,[37] but in no other New Testament accounts of Jesus. John 21:24 claims that the Gospel of John is based on the written testimony of this disciple.
The disciple whom Jesus loved is referred to, specifically, six times in John's gospel:
None of the other Gospels has anyone in the parallel scenes that could be directly understood as the Beloved Disciple. For example, in Luke 24:12, Peter alone runs to the tomb. Mark, Matthew and Luke do not mention any one of the twelve disciples having witnessed the crucifixion.
There are also two references to an unnamed "other disciple" in John 1:35-40 and John 18:15-16, which may be to the same person based on the wording in John 20:2.[39]
There is no information in the Bible concerning the duration of John's activity in Judea. According to tradition, John and the other Apostles remained some 12 years in this first field of labour. The persecution of Christians under Herod Agrippa I led to the scattering of the Apostles through the Roman Empire's provinces. [cf. Ac 12:1-17].
A messianic community existed at Ephesus before Paul's first labours there (cf. "the brethren"),[Acts 18:27] in addition to Priscilla and Aquila. The original community was under the leadership of Apollo (1 Corinthians 1:12). They were disciples of John the Baptist and were converted by Aquila and Priscilla.[40] According to Church tradition, after the Assumption of Mary, John went to Ephesus. From there he wrote the three epistles attributed to him. John was allegedly banished by the Roman authorities to the Greek island of Patmos, where, according to tradition, he wrote the Book of Revelation. According to Tertullian (in The Prescription of Heretics) John was banished (presumably to Patmos) after being plunged into boiling oil in Rome and suffering nothing from it. It is said that all in the audience of Colosseum were converted to Christianity upon witnessing this miracle. This event would have occurred in the late 1st century, during the reign of the Emperor Domitian, who was known for his persecution of Christians.
When John was aged, he trained Polycarp who later became Bishop of Smyrna. This was important because Polycarp was able to carry John's message to future generations. Polycarp taught Irenaeus, passing on to him stories about John. In Against Heresies, Irenaeus relates how Polycarp told a story of
" | John, the disciple of the Lord, going to bathe at Ephesus, and perceiving Cerinthus within, rushed out of the bath-house without bathing, exclaiming, "Let us fly, lest even the bath-house fall down, because Cerinthus, the enemy of the truth, is within."[41] | " |
It is traditionally believed that John was the youngest of the apostles and survived them. He is said to have lived to an old age, dying at Ephesus sometime after AD 98.[42]
An alternative account of John's death, ascribed by later Christian writers to the early second-century bishop Papias of Hierapolis, claims that he was slain by the Jews.[43][44] Most Johannine scholars doubt the reliability of its ascription to Papias, but a minority, including B.W. Bacon, Martin Hengel and Henry Barclay Swete, maintain that these references to Papias are credible.[45][46] Zahn argues that this reference is actually to John the Baptist.[42] John's traditional tomb is thought to be located at Selçuk, a small town in the vicinity of Ephesus.[citation needed]
In art, John as the presumed author of the Gospel is often depicted with an eagle, which symbolizes the height he rose to in his gospel.[7] In Orthodox icons, he is often depicted looking up into heaven and dictating his Gospel (or the Book of Revelation) to his disciple, traditionally named Prochorus.
The feast day of Saint John in the Roman Catholic Church, which calls him "Saint John, Apostle and Evangelist", and in the Anglican Communion and Lutheran Calendars, which call him "John, Apostle and Evangelist", is on 27 December. In the Tridentine Calendar he was commemorated also on each of the following days up to and including 3 January, the Octave of the 27 December feast. This Octave was abolished by Pope Pius XII in 1955.[47] The traditional liturgical color is white.
Until 1960, another feast day which appeared in the General Roman Calendar is that of "Saint John Before the Latin Gate" on May 6, celebrating a tradition recounted by Jerome that St John was brought to Rome during the reign of the Emperor Domitian, and was thrown in a vat of boiling oil, from which he was miraculously preserved unharmed. A church (San Giovanni a Porta Latina) dedicated to him was built near the Latin gate of Rome, the traditional site of this event.[48]
The Eastern Orthodox Church and those Eastern Catholic Churches which follow the Byzantine Rite commemorate the "Repose of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian" on September 26. On May 8 they celebrate the "Feast of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian", on which date Christians used to draw forth from his grave fine ashes which were believed to be effective for healing the sick.
Other Christians highly revere him but do not canonize or venerate saints.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) teaches that John received the promise of immortality from Jesus Christ, as recorded in John 21:21–23 and the seventh chapter of the Doctrine and Covenants. It also teaches that in 1829, along with the resurrected Peter and the resurrected James, John visited Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery and restored the priesthood authority with Apostolic succession to earth.[49] John, along with the Three Nephites, will live to see the Second Coming of Christ as translated beings.[50]
The LDS Church teaches that John the Apostle is the same person as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, and the Beloved Disciple.[50]
The Quran also speaks of Jesus's disciples but does not mention their names, instead referring to them as "helpers to the work of God".[51] Muslim exegesis and Quran commentary, however, names them and includes John among the disciples.[52] An old tradition, which involves the legend of Habib the Carpenter, mentions that John was one of the three disciples sent to Antioch to preach to the people there.[53]

Maybe a newbie question but something just doesn't feel right with my new A3... I have a 2010 A3 2.0 TDI Sport and have previously had a series of VW Golfs usually GT TDI spec. The last GT I had handled really well round twisties, etc however the A3 just doesn't feel quite as stable. The steering is certainly more active that the golf was and at speeds around 40-50 the car still feels solid but once you start to push that little bit more especially on long or tight bends the car just seems to want to understeer... My understanding was that the GT suspension was the same as on the sport or should I be comparing against the S-Line suspension? Have other people experienced this?? Is there an easy solution???
Could be just down to the make of tyres between the two cars - what tyres are on the A3 and what was on the Golf ?
Both cars came with Pirelli P-Zero Rosso Tyres, never been a great fan compared to Michelin Pilots...
The Sport model A3 isn't as "high" in the range as the GT model Golf I would say, so the equivalemt may well be as said the S-Line.
Set of Eibach springs? Should be able to buy a set, have them fitted and all wheels aligned for under 400 squid
have you done the obvious things first? i.e. check tyre pressures Are the tyres new? If so they might need time to bed in.
We have just changed from standard sport to Eibach Sportline springs and all the spongyness has gone. The ride and handling is much improved but no more harsh that the originals. The boss says that she finds it better because the boingyness has gone and the car feels much more solid on the road like the BMW 3 series that the A3 has just replaced. I was 100% set on H&R springs due to the advice on here and the fact that one of the Eibach's I recently took off a Vectra had cracked and snapped! Ended up with Eibach tho because I wanted 50mm front and 40mm rear. Was plesantly surprised when I found they came with a 5yr warranty as well. £150 well spent with Damian @ DPM Performance. (I'm not sure if spongyness or boingyness are the correct technical terms but you get what I mean)
It seems that by just replacing the springs may be the answer but I've heard stories of people doing this, etc and then warranty's being void ,etc... As this is an '10 car and I believe Audi do a kit to change the springs would I be best to look at this or am I being too cautious?

This hotel has beautiful grounds, pool and beach. It is in a good area with lots to do. The same high prices you would find at most luxury resorts which was nice to have a car to drive out to local area spots. The staff was friendly and helpful, and they all spoke english really well. We had to keep calling for a wine opener because the housekeeping would take it away each day, and the glasses weren't cleaned. There weren' t bathrobes in the rooms which was strange for this level hotel. They mixed up our reservations and didn't think we were arriving until the next day, fortunately we had a printed confirmation. It still took the front desk about 45 minutes to get us assigned rooms which seemed longer at 1am and three tired kids. We had three rooms since we were traveling with friends and they had put us in different areas of the hotel. So the next day we had to move again to be closer to each other, which was important since the kids were sharing a room.
There is a casino which only takes american dollars in the machines, so its a good place to get rid of the extra coins on your last day.
There is a great breakfast buffet but it was about $35 per person and no champagne. We did it once but with a bunch of teens that don't eat alot it wasn't worth it to do each day. Right across the street from the hotel was a market we could get breakfast burritos and coffee which was great.
None of the negatives would prevent me from staying there, it was just surprising since it isn't what we have experienced with marriotts in the past.
If you are going to go ziplining, go into Jaco and see steve at AXR tours and rentals, he has the best prices on lots of tours. We drove up to the zip lining place at Los suenos and they wanted $65 and he charged $45. The hotel doesn' t have a concierge, they have a tour agency attached which helps organized tours but with additional costs added.

Do you think sedo.com is the best marketplace for buying and selling domain names? Any other alternatives that you recommend?
flippa has a sector for domains and the site is a haven for noobies - which in some cases increases your sales opportunities
Most of the big registrars have their own marketplace too.
webmaster forums is the best
I don't know, but SEDO gives me a 'I want to get off this page ASAP' feeling. Maybe it's just for me though...
Many people are using SEDO to buy/sell domains so it's probably one of the best marketplaces, but the Godaddy marketplace seems to be doing well too
|Nico Lawsons
On the first sight it looks like it is, but on the other site, it looks like you can list 'all your products'. Whether they mean all your products in general or just the products on your Godaddy account is unclear for me
You can try to find out yourself here: Godaddy Marketplace
And if somebody knows the answer, please leave a reply
|Nico Lawsons
Sedo is certainly the best but you will have to undergo some verification procedure there Godaddy is quite good also
What is a good way to sell domains on Sedo, do you promote your domains somehow?

The Master's Level Graduate Research Conference is supported by the Office of Graduate Studies.
Since the 1980s, obesity and overeating are considered to be a major health problem within the United States. In fact, the US is currently facing what some experts call an obesity epidemic (Graves, 2010). There are many different theories regarding the reasons that lead people to overeat. Three common theories in the eating literature are externality theory, psychosomatic theory, and restraint theory (Van Strien, Frijters, Bergers, & Defares, 1986). Externality theory focuses on external eating which involves eating in response to external food related stimuli regardless of the internal state of hunger or satiety. Psychosomatic theory focuses on emotional eating which is the tendency to overeat in response to negative emotional states such as anger, fear, and anxiety. Restraint theory focuses on restraint which is constantly restricting food intake in order to control weight gain. The current study will explore if the reasons for overeating may lie in deficient executive function, a process that is localized mainly to the frontal regions of the brain and involves processes such as cognitive control, the ability to sustain or flexibly redirect attention, the inhibition of inappropriate behavioral responses, initiation and execution of strategies, and the ability to flexibly switch among strategies (Robbins, 1998). Preliminary findings will be discussed.

US 6033773 A Abstract The design and synthesis of a family of calix[4]arene-based nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores are discussed. The calixarene chromophores are macrocyclic compounds consisting of four simple D-π-A units bridged by methylene groups. These molecules were synthesized such that four D-π-A units of the calix[4]arene were aligned along the same direction with the calixarene in a cone conformation. These nonlinear optical super-chromophores were subsequently fabricated into covalently bound self-assembled monolayers on the surfaces of fused silica and silicon. Spectroscopic second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements were carried out to determine the absolute value of the dominant element of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility, d33, and the average molecular alignment, Ψ. A value of d33 =60 pm/V at a fundamental wavelength of 890 nm, and Ψ˜36° was found with respect to the surface normal.
Claims(3) 1. A nonlinear optical material comprising:
a defined substrate; a silane coupling means bonded to said substrate; and, a structurally interlocked chromophore, said interlocking through chemical bonding a multiple of dipolar molecules into cone-shaped supermolecules. 2. The nonlinear optical material of claim 1 wherein said interlocked adjacent groups of the chromophore are aromatic groups.
3. A method of forming a nonlinear optical material comprising:
structurally interlocking through chemical bonding a multiple of dipolar molecules into cone-shaped supermolecules; and, chemically bonding said cone-shaped supermolecules onto a defined substrate. Description The present invention relates to non-linear optical materials and more particularly to non-linear optical materials including calixarene-based chromophores. This invention was made with government support under Contract No. W-7405-ENG-36 awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The government has certain rights in the invention. Organic nonlinear optical (NLO) materials offer great potential for use in integrated optical devices. NLO thin-film materials have been fabricated by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) techniques, molecular self-assembly, and electric field poling of functional polymers. The critical issue, however, remains the stability of the acentric alignment of the NLO chromophores. Kelderman et al., (Adv. Mater. Vol. 5, 925 (1993)) have recently reported the study of poled neat calixarene films and calixarene-doped polymeric films for second-order nonlinear optics. They showed that "cone" conformation calix[4]arene chromophores exhibit large values of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility d33 (6-11 pm/V at 30-60% wt) with a high degree of orientation. An object of the present invention is to fix chromophore orientation at the molecular level by structural interlocking of dipolar molecules into cone-shaped supermolecules, and then to use these to build polar self-assembled monolayers. To achieve the foregoing and other objects, and in accordance with the purposes of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, the present invention provides a nonlinear optical material including a defined substrate, a silane coupling means bonded to said substrate, and a structurally interlocked chromophore, such interlocking between adjacent groups of chromophore units. The present invention further provides a method of forming a nonlinear optical material by structually interlocking a multiple of dipolar molecules into a shaped supermolecule, and attaching the shaped supermolecule to a defined substrate. FIG. 1(a) is a schematic representation of the synthesis of surface building blocks--calix[4]arene-based molecular pyramids and strategy for the construction of self assembled monolayer architectures. FIG. 1(b) is another schematic representation of the synthesis of surface building blocks--calix[4]arene-based molecular pyramids and strategy for the construction of self assembled monolayer architectures. (1) acetic acid, ethanol (reflux); 2) chloroform, 25° C.; 3) toluene, 110 ° C. FIG. 2 shows a space filling model of a self assembled, calix[4]arene-based monolayer on an idealized silica surface. FIG. 3 is a graph showing a single harmonic generation (SHG) signal versus incident angle for ρ-polarized SHG from both ρ- (solid circles) and s- polarized (open circles) fundamental at a wavelength of 862 nm, plotted together with a best theoretical fit (solid line). FIG. 4 is a graph showing second-order nonlinear susceptibility d33 (solid squares) versus fundamental wavelength (top and right axes) or second harmonic wavelength (bottom and right axes) along with linear absorption spectrum αd (solid line) versus wavelength (bottom and left axes) for a self-assembled monolayer of (2). The lowest two photon resonance is at 390 nm corresponding to 780 nm in d33 dispersion. FIG. 5 is a graph showing the UV-vis absorption spectra of the imine derivative of calix[4]stilbazole in methanol (dotted line) and the imine derivative of calix[4]stilbazolium on a silica substrate (solid line), respectively. The present invention is concerned with a molecular architectural approach to thin films aimed at achieving stable materials for NLO applications. The key strategy is to fix chromophore orientation at the molecular level by structural interlocking of dipolar molecules into cone-shaped supermolecules, and then to use these to build polar self-assembled monolayers. The surface molecular building blocks are calix[4]arene derivatives, which consist of a multiple, e.g., four, NLO chromophore units bridged by methylene groups. The chromophores can typically be, e.g., stilbazole derivatives with a D-π-A structure, where D and A are electron donating and accepting groups, respectively, and π is a π-conjugated segment. This structural feature has been widely used to attain large values of the molecular second-order nonlinear susceptibility, β. In the present invention, the synthesis and characterization of a NLO calix[4]stilbazole imine derivative with the calixarene frozen in a cone conformation is presented. Furthermore, the construction of monolayers of the calixarene via covalent bonding to the silylated oxide surface, and second harmonic generation measurements on these self-assembled thin films is discussed. Larger d33 values (60 pm/V) are found than those by Kelderman et al. (Adv. Mater. Vol. 5, 925 (1993)). Although many functionalized calixarenes have been synthesized, preparation of calix[n]stilbazole (n=4, 6, 8) and its derivatives has been proven to be more difficult. The major synthetic considerations are the solubility and the conformation freezing of the calixarenes. Here the synthetic strategy was to initially "freeze" the calixarene in a cone conformation by substituting the lower rim of the calix[4]arene and then to functionalize the upper rim of the calixarene for the incorporation of pyridyl units. The synthesis of imine derivative of calix[4]stilbazole is depicted in the scheme shown in FIG. 1(a). Compound (1) and (2) were synthesized according to literature procedures (Chang et al. J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans., vol 1, pp211 (1986) and Verboom et al., J. Org. Chem., vol. 57, p. 1313 (1992)). Reduction of nitrocalixarene (2) gave p-aminocalix[4]arene (3). The condensation of p-amino-ethoxyethylethercalix[4]arene (3) with 4-pyridylcarboxaldehyde gave the desired NLO chromophore (4). All the structures were confirmed by 1 H NMR and IR data. A proton 1 H NMR spectrum of (4) in CDCl3 indicated that (4) has a rigid "cone" conformation with the D-π-A dipolar units aligned in the same direction; this was manifested by the fact that bridging methylene protons split into two doublets with strong coupling between them (J=15 Hz). The presence of long ethoxyethyl groups prevents flip-over of the individual rigid rod-like stilbazole units in (4) and the "cone" conformation is virtually frozen at room temperature. It is noteworthy, however, that the condensation reaction failed when the formyl and amino groups were switched. The scheme of FIG. 1(b) involves functionalzation of the upper rim of the calixarene by incorporation of pyridyl units. Compound (1a) and (1b) were synthesized according to the literature procedures of Chang et al. And Verboom et al. (see above). Reduction of nitrocalixarene (1b) gave para-aminocalix[4]arene (1c) in 79% yield. The condensation of para-amino-ethoxyethylethercalix[4]arene (1c) with 4-pryidylcarboxaldehyde gave the desired cone-shaped chromophoric precursor 10. All the compounds were characterized by 1 H NMR and IR. The 1 H NMR spectrum of 10 in CDCl3 confirmed that 10 had a rigid cone conformation with the D--π-A dipolar units aligned in the same direction, since the two doublets (J=12 Hz) corresponding to equatorial and axial methylene protons, respectively, were observed. Long ethoxyethyl groups prevent flip-over of the individual NLO units in 10 and the cone confirmation is virtually frozen. Then, with this molecular building block having a rigid structure and fixed dipole orientation, the resultant self assembled monolayer of 10 should have higher alignment, better thermal and structural stability that self assembled monolayers using a single chromophoric unit. The construction of covalently bonded self-assembled monolayers of (4) is based on the approach reported by Li et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., vol 112, p. 7389 (1990). Silicon wafer and fused silica substrates were treated with a silane coupling agent p-chloromethylphenyltrichlorosilane in either toluene or chloroform for 24 hours, followed by an incubation of the silylated substrate in 1 millimoles (mM) of compound (4) in toluene at 110° C. for three days to quaternize the pyridyl groups on (2). The monolayer was thoroughly cleaned by sonication in CHCl3, followed by vigorous rinsing with CHCl3 to remove any noncovalently bonded surface species. The self-assembled monolayers consisting of pyramid-like imine derivative of calix[4]stilbazole were characterized by surface polarized FTIR using internal attenuated total reflection (ATR) within a Ge hemisphere crystal with p-polarization at 45 degree of incidence. The formation of covalent C--N bonds between the calix[4]stilbazole imine and the silane anchoring layer was revealed by the presence of pyridinium species (υ=1635 cm-1) on the surface. The fact that no pyridine mode at 1595 cm-1 was observed indicated that the surface quaternization was complete, leaving no dangling stilbazole imine structures in the self-assembled monolayer. The electronic absorption spectrum of the monolayer exhibited a characteristic charge transfer transition at 390 nm (FIG. 1), which is consistent with the observation of the pyridinium mode; both indicate successful quaternization reaction. The absorption peak of the monolayer red-shifted to 390 nm from 350 nm is also consistent with the presence of stronger electron withdrawing groups (pyridinium vs. pyridyl group) in the film. The optical absorptions from both surface IR (A1635 cm-1 =2×10-3) and UV-vis (A390 nm =3.5×10-3) suggest that the thickness for these calix[4]stilbazolium films is on the order of a typical single monolayer, taking into account the chromophore orientation effects. Second harmonic generation (SHG) was measured for fundamental wavelengths between 890 nm and 750 nm. The laser source was a passively mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser (Coherent Mira) operating in either femtosecond (150 fs autocorrelation width) or picosecond (2 ps width) mode, with 100 MHz repetition rate. The SHG signal was measured as a function of incident angle for p-polarized SHG, and both s- and p-polarized fundamental. The SHG light was filtered from the fundamental with a combination of glass filters (Schott BG-39) and a single-grating monochrometer. Light was detected with a cooled photomultiplier tube, by synchronous detection with a digital lockin amplifier referenced to a chopper in the fundamental beam path. In the cone-shaped symmetry (C00), there are only two independent elements of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility, d33 and d31 =d32, in these self-assembled monolayers. To determine the values of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility, the ratio of d33 to d31 was first derived by comparison of the angular dependence of the measured p-polarized SHG from p-polarized fundamental versus s-polarized fundamental. The absolute d33 values were then deduced by comparison with SHG measured from a Y-cut quartz crystal, with fundamental polarization along the optic axis. FIG. 2 shows the angular dependence of the measured SHG for p-polarized fundamental, and p-polarized SHG, for the imine derivative of a calix[4]stilbazole monolayer at a fundamental wavelength of 890 nm. In FIG. 2, the data for 2 ps pulses are shown along with the theoretical best fits. There are two important features in this data: the overall envelope shape, which is determined by the orientation of the individual molecules in the monolayer, and the interference fringes, which arise from the two identical monolayers on opposite sides of the fused silica substrate. For the 1 mm thick silica samples considered here, effects of pulse walkoff due to mismatched group velocities of the fundamental and SH pulses can be neglected. The solid line in FIG. 2 is the best fit to an expression developed in Ref. 2b, modulated by the interference term, which has the same physical origin and angular dependence as the well-known Maker fringes in bulk samples. These data indicate that the average orientation of the stilbazole chromophores is Ψ˜36° relative to the surface normal, and that the absolute magnitude of d33 ˜60 pm/V, at a fundamental wavelength of 890 nm. The wavelength dependence (fundamental λ=890-750 nm; harmonic λ=445-375 nm) indicates a gradual increase of d33 as the fundamental moves to shorter wavelength, consistent with normal refractive index dispersion in this spectral region approaching the charge transfer resonance at 390 nm. A value of d33 ˜90 pm/V at λ=750 nm was found indicating a slight two photon enhancement at shorter wavelength. A calix[4]arene-based NLO chromophoric building block has been synthesized and covalently bound self-assembled monolayers on Si wafers and SiO2 substrates have been constructed. This is a significant step forward in molecular architecture by demonstrating the formation of self-assembled monomolecular layers of "pyramid"-like structures. Structural interlocking via the bridging methylene groups among the D-π-A units yields improved stability, exceptionally large second-order nonlinearities (d33 ˜60 pm/V;λ=890 nm), and optimized molecular dipole alignment. Spectroscopic χ.sup.(2) measurements were carried out in the near infrared region and two photon resonance enhancement was found to be minimal. Using molecular chromophores, pre-assembled into supermolecules to achieve fixed orientation at the molecular level has thus been demonstrated to be a viable approach to the construction of polar self-assembled monolayers. Substitutions at both ends of the calix[4]arene NLO chromophores may allow construction of multilayer molecular films for nonlinear optical uses. Although the present invention has been described with reference to specific details, it is not intended that such details should be regarded as limitations upon the scope of the invention, except as and to the extent that they are included in the accompanying claims.

The Malabar Coast (Malayalam: മലബാർ തീരം) is a long and narrow south-western shore line of the mainland Indian subcontinent. Geographically, it comprises the wettest region of southern India, as the Western Ghats intercept the moisture-laden Monsoon rains, especially on their westward-facing mountain slopes. The term "Malabar Coast" is also sometimes used in reference to the entire Indian coast from the western coast of Konkan to the tip of the subcontinent at Kanyakumari (Cape Comorin).

What was a moment in the game when you knew exactly what would happen?
What was a moment in the game when you knew exactly what would happen?
I knew Ben was the person who was giving the bandits supplies as he looked the most guilty.
Yep I knew it immediately especially the way he was acting in the R.V saying he would do anything acting very suspiciously.
In season 2 episode 4 when you go through the ticket booth I just knew a walker would be waiting.
Would have been more surprising if it had attacked them
...from behind (GamerPoop ftw)
Dropped dem bandages right by the hole in the shed. Didn't wanna pick it up cus i knew a zombie would crawl in.
That a zombie was going to be in the ticket booth when I crawled in.
Also, that we wouldn't catch the raccoon. Damn fucker laughed at me,
The moment Luke talked about proving one's worth i knew he was going to fuck up somewhere later in the episode.

The hotel seemed to be a hotel still in the making. No outlets where outlets should have been. The bed was hard because of no box spring, only a hard concrete slab with mattress. I was afraid to eat the free breakfast after seeing the condition of the hotel. The room door had a huge crack in the molding about and inch to inch and a half and all the hall noise came through. I could easily see out without opening the door. The bell boy will rip you off quickly and called me cheap after I, not knowing the money, offered him a bill I thought was okay, but later came to realize was insufficient. Didn't think I needed to be called cheap though. ...

For a tiny room with no window curtains for the shower, no hot water. Actively discourages female guests from visiting the rooms, door lock flimsy, hear all the noise in the hall, doors slamming. No Internet in rooms. Only in small lobby area. We asked reception to make a copy of our passports. They copied it on paper that's already been used on one side. This is good because they are saving paper. The bad part is the other side contained previous guests' credit card numbers. So be cautious what info they get from you as the paper will be re-used later. ...
