Brush Search in X3
As you may have heard, new in X3 is a brush search tool. I personally think that brush search combined with an expressive stroke preview is is great way to discover (or perhaps rediscover forgotten) brushes in Painter. I know I often go back to brushes I am familiar with in my day to day work. So the question is… what can Brush Search look for? The most obvious searches are queries that use variant...

Image Hose Trick - Blending images with the additional color
Here is a little trick that you can use with the image hoses in Painter. Using the Grain brush control, you can make your image hose "content" blend with the "Additional Color" (sometimes called "secondary color"). Here is the image hose with Grain set to 100%. If you change the image hose to 50% for example, and set your additional color to orange, here is what you...

Creating a Custom Organic Oily Brush
In this blog post, I wanted to try to combine some tips for creating custom brushes, as well as some tips into quickly transforming photos into paintings. So the first thing I want to do is create a brush that will feel very organic and oily. Then I will use the brush to convert a photo into a painting. NOTE: I am NOT an artist ;) CREATING AN ORGANIC OILY BRUSH There are many ways to achieve this...

Using Flowmaps to Control the Flow of Real Watercolor and Real Wet Oil
In the last post , I described the 4 main paper interactions with Real Watercolor. In summary they were: Granulation (bias for pigments to settle in the valleys of the paper texture) Grain (paper texture is used to introduce variability in the pigment concentration for the liquid that is being brushed on the surface) Flow resistance (paper texture is used to influence the direction of the flow of the liquid...

Real Watercolor and paper texture interactions
There are many ways for paper textures to be used with Real Watercolor brushes. The paper texture can be used to create pigment granulation, to influence the flow of the water and more. In this blog post I will try to shed some light on various ways that paper texture can be used with Real Watercolor. There are 4 distinct paper texture interactions that I want to describe. In order to make the distinction between...

Opacity vs. opacity vs. opacity... ?
This is a topic that I often get questions on. Why are there multiple ways to control the opacity (opposite of transparency) of your brush, and what is the difference between them? This question usually refers to these 3 controls, 2 of which are new for Painter 12. - Brush opacity (in blue) - Stroke Opacity (in red) (New in Painter 12) - Dab opacity (in green) (New in Painter 12) The confusion...

Controlling color mixing in Painter brushes
Why do some brushes buildup to black and others not? How come if I paint white over a dark or colored background, nothing happens (or I get weird colors)? These are frequent questions we get, and both can be explained (and fixed) with a very simple change in the brush settings. Note: This technique can also be very useful for making a brush more friendly for autopainting or cloning (because this will...

Fun with creating new Real Watercolor brushes using Rake!
I was just having fun with the Real Watercolor controls... and realized that we did not include any Real Watercolor variants with Painter 12 that used the "Rake" brush technology. Rake brushes are interesting because they create a series of little dabs in a row, perpendicular to your stroke. You can control how many dabs are created, their spacing, edge softening etc. This gives you additional creative...

Creating Flow Patterns using Paper and Real Watercolor
I really love to play with settings on the Real Watercolor panel. You can create very interesting brushes by adjusting the behaviour of the water, pigment, paper etc. In future blog posts, I will describe how these controls work. But for now, I want a brush that will flow quite a bit on the paper, in order to create some flow patterns. I don't want the water and pigment to be absorbed exactly where I brushed it...

Painter 12 - Brush Calibration - Bonus tip!
Some feedback from my last post made me think of an additional "hidden" control that allows to fine tune how velocity behaves on individual brushes. If you find that you want more control over what Painter "thinks" is fast or slow, this control could be useful for you. In most case, you should not need to use this, but it is available just in case. Painter brushes are defined by XML files. These...

Autoignitions of Diesel FuelAir Mixtures Behind Reflected Shock Waves
Autoignitions of Diesel Fuel/Air Mixtures Behind Reflected Shock Waves O.G. Penyazkov1*, K.L. Sevrouk1, V. Tangirala2, N. Joshi2 1 Heat and Mass Transfer Institute, Minsk, Belarus 2 General Electric Global Research Center, Niskayuna, NY, USA Abstract The ignition times and auto-ignition modes of Diesel fuel/Air mixtures behind reflected shock waves were measured at pressures 4.7 – 10.4 atm, temperatures 1065 - 1838 K, and stoichiometries φ = 0.5 - 2. It was shown that for studied range of post-shock conditions the reaction rate of Diesel fuel oxidation exhibit a nonlinear Arrhenius dependence with global activation energies ranged from 32.6 kcal/mole at high temperatures (> 1200 K) to 20.4 kcal/mole at low temperatures (1200 K <). For stoichiometries φ = 0.5 – 1; 0.5 - 2, overall empirical approximations for ignition delays have been derived from the experimental data. Critical post-shock temperatures required for strong and transient auto-ignitions of Diesel fuel were established from measurements. Introduction Most aviation fuels are mixtures of a large number studies in Diesel fuel/Air mixtures. Pressure variations of hydrocarbons and the chemical kinetic processes at different cross-sections of the tube were measured by occurring in combustion of such fuels at high three high-frequency PCB pressure sensors Model temperatures have not been sufficiently validated.

Only limited data have been transducer measured the reflection time and pressure reported for ignition of Diesel fuels in jet-stirred history behind reflected shock waves in the vicinity of reactors [1] and in shock tubes [2]. Thus, there is an the reflecting surface. For controlling ignition and obvious lack of experimental data for high-temperature reaction times the additional ion current sensor was combustion and auto-ignition of Diesel fuel and its mounted into reflecting surface of the shock tube.

The applied optical setup was sensitive to the onset of auto-ignition at selected gas volumes and generated induction times of studied mixtures from the beginning of normal reflection of the incident shock wave. To obtain a correct temperature dependence of ignition time on activation energy of the mixture and fuel/oxygen concentrations all comparative shock-tube series were performed at approximately constant post-shock density. It means that fuel, oxygen, and nitrogen concentrations were kept nearly constant within a studied temperature range behind reflected shock waves.

It is curve at low temperatures for distances of 140 mm was apparent that the data obtained by different methods and used for determining positions of the strong explosion at different initial temperatures correlate well in a limit. For stoichiometric mixture, this critical studied range of post-shock temperatures. The induction temperature was 1251 K. It should be mentioned that times of aviation kerosene Jet-A [6] obtained at nearly explosion behavior of Diesel fuel was observed also at the same post-shock conditions are drawn on the same temperatures higher than 1140 K due to the mechanism graph. For stoichiometric mixture, No. 2 Diesel fuel of deflagration to detonation transition in a shock demonstrates 2.5 –2.6 times longer induction periods in compressed gas volume. As is seen in the Figure 3 this comparison with Jet-A. Figure 4 shows that at high transient ignition mode was realized within the temperatures ( > 1210 K ) No. 2 Diesel exhibit almost temperature range of 1140 – 1251 K. the same activation energy 16449 K (32.6 ± 0.2 kcal/mole) as aviation kerosene Jet-A. This value is less than activation energies for n-heptane (40.2 kcal/mole) and JP-10 (44.6 kcal/mole) reported in [7, 8]. Although, generally, the ignition delay times of Diesel fuel follow the Arrhenius law, the significant decreasing of activation energy up to 10292 K (20.4 ± 0.2 kcal/mole) has been observed in our experiments at low temperatures T < 1210 K. For stoichiometric No. 2 Diesel fuel /Air mixture, the comparison of current results with existing literature data of Spadaccini & TeVelde [1] measured in continuous flow reactor at inlet air temperatures of 650 – 1000 K, pressures 10 – 30 atm, and stoichiometries 0.3 – 1 exhibit significant deviations with our observations. At the same time, these experiments [1] show a noticeable decreasing of mean activation energy of Diesel fuel at high Figure 3.

In accordance with chosen criterion for strong Positions of the strong and transient ignition limits are ignition limits experiments demonstrate that the critical indicated on the Graphs. post-shock temperature required for strong initiations was equal to T = 1251 K. The transient ignition mode The main measurement uncertainties were were detected within the temperature range of T = 1140 associated with several factors. The first one is a 0.5% - 1251 K and M = 2.6 - 2.8, respectively. The uncertainty in incident shock-wave velocity measurements of the steady-state CJ detonation measurements, which produces ≈ 0.75%, 1.5%, 0.7% velocities in stoichiometric Diesel fuel /Air mixtures experimental errors in temperature (T), pressure (P), and give VCJ ≈ 1580 ± 15 m/s. The appropriate value in density (ρ) of the mixture behind reflected shock waves. stoichiometric Jet-A mixture is equal to VCJ ≈ 1670 m/s. The second one is an uncertainty connected with the definition of specific heat and enthalpy of the Diesel fuel. Usually, this can result in a 1-1.5 % error in determination of post-shock parameters of the gas. The last one is an uncertainty connected with the definition of ignition-delay time. Usually, this can result in a 2-15 % error in ignition-delay time for studied range of parameters Results For post-shock density of 1.94 ± 0.29 kg/m3 in stoichiometric Diesel fuel/Air mixtures, the temperature dependence of induction times is plotted in the Figure 4. The experiments were performed within the temperature range of 1078 – 1655 K. Experimental points for No.2 Diesel fuel correspond to ignition times measured by using co-axial emission observations along the Figure 4. Mean activation energies for centerline of the shock tube at λ = 308.9 nm (OH, stoichiometric Diesel fuel/ and Jet-A/Air (φ = 1.0) transitions A2Σ – X2Π) and at λ = 431.5 nm (CH, mixtures at equivalent post-shock conditions. 1* Corresponding author: email@example.com Proceedings of the European Combustion Meeting 2009 For the post-shock density of 1.97 ± 0.28 kg/m3 in lean Diesel fuel/Air (φ = 0.5) mixtures, the temperature dependence of induction times is plotted in the Figures 5. Experiments were performed within the temperature range of 1117 – 1903 K and pressures 5.6 – 9.8 atm. For lean Jet-A/ Air mixture (φ = 0.5), induction times at similar post-shock conditions are drawn on the same graph. Likewise in the stoichiometric mixtures, No. 2 Diesel fuel demonstrates 2.3 –2.9 times longer induction periods and slightly lower activation energy 15483 K (30.7 ± 0.2 kcal/mole) in comparison with Jet-A. For lean mixture, the temperature dependence of ignition delays follows the Arrhenius law within the studied temperature range of 1117 – 1903 K. Within the scatter of the experimental data both stoichiometries φ = 0.5 Figure 6. Ignition delay time vs. reciprocal and φ = 1.0 exhibit the same activation energy. The lean temperature for rich Diesel fuel/ and Jet-A/Air mixtures mixture demonstrates approximately ≈ 1.5 times longer (φ = 2.0) at equivalent post-shock conditions. induction periods. The similar trend has been observed for Jet-A fuel in our previous studies [6]. Arrhenius law within the studied temperature range of Experiments demonstrate that the critical post-shock 916 – 1838 K. In comparison with Jet-A Diesel fuel temperature required for strong initiations is equal to T demonstrates ≈ 3 - 6.4 times longer induction periods at = 1294 K. The transient ignition modes were detected equivalent post-shock conditions. within the temperature range of T = 1170 – 1294, For rich and stoichiometric Diesel fuel /Air respectively.

As is seen form the graphs, linear approximations 20 m/s. The appropriate value for lean Jet-A mixture is of the experimental data for φ = 2.0 and φ = 1.0 exhibit ≈ 1480 m/s. substantially different activation energies. For temperatures higher than 1200 K, the rich mixture demonstrates longer ignition times. At low temperatures < 1200 K, induction times are approximately equal in both cases within the scatter of the experimental data. Simultaneously, at low temperatures < 1200 K the stoichiometric and rich Diesel fuel/Air blends exhibit very close activation energies equal to 10292 K (20.4 ± 0.2 kcal/mole) and 12330 K (24.45 ± 0.2 kcal/mole) (Fig. 7), respectively. For φ = 2.0, in contrast to Diesel fuel the Jet-A demonstrates absolutely different behavior [6]. Auto-ignitions of rich Jet-A/Air mixture results in shorter induction times within the temperature range of 1000 – 1520 K with the same activation energy as for φ = 0.5 and φ = 1.0. Figure 5. Ignition delay time vs. reciprocal temperature for lean Diesel fuel/ and Jet-A/Air mixtures (φ = 0.5) at equivalent post-shock conditions. For the post-shock density of 2.2 ± 0.4 kg/m3 of rich Diesel fuel/Air (φ = 2.0) mixture, the temperature dependence of induction times is plotted in the Figure 6. Experiments were performed within the temperature range of 916 – 1838 K, and pressures 5.7 – 10 atm. Induction times for rich Jet-A/ Air mixture (φ = 2.0) are drawn on the same graph. In contrast to lean and stoichiometric Diesel fuel blends, the rich Diesel mixture demonstrates much longer ignition times and significantly lower activation energy 12330 K (24.45 ± 0.2 kcal/mole) in comparison with Jet-A.

The transient ignition modes were the fitted induction times. detected within the temperature range of T = 1145 – 1260 and M = 2.83 - 3.05, respectively. Measurements give the steady-state CJ detonation velocity VCJ ≈ 1735 ± 20 m/s. For rich Jet-A mixture, the corresponding value is ≈ 1780 m/s. For stoichiometries φ = 0.5 - 1, the overall empirical approximation for ignition delays have been derived from the experimental data (1) (Fig.8): ⎛ 15473 ⎞ ⎟ × [O2 ] × [Diesel ] −0.54218 τ ( μs ) = 8.0663 × 10 −6 × exp⎜ 0.28653 ⎝ T ⎠ where, τ is the ignition time in (μsec) , T is the post- shock temperature in (K), [Diesel] is the Diesel fuel concentration in (mole/cm3), and [O2] is the Oxygen concentration in (mole/cm3).

Conclusions The ignition delay times and auto-ignition modes of Diesel fuel/Air mixtures behind reflected shock waves were measured at pressures 4.7 – 10.4 atm, temperatures 1065 - 1838 K, and stoichiometries φ = 0.5 - 2. For stoichiometries φ = 0.5 – 1 0.5 -2 the overall empirical approximations for ignition delays have been derived from the experimental data. It was shown that for studied range of post-shock conditions the reaction rate of Diesel fuel oxidation exhibit a nonlinear Arrhenius dependence with global activation energies ranged from 32.6 kcal/mole at high temperatures (> 1200 K) to 20.4 kcal/mole at low temperatures (1200 K <). Critical post-shock temperatures T = 1251 K (φ = 1), T = 1294 K (φ = 0.5), and T = 1260 K (φ = 2.0) required Figure 8.

For a wider stoichiometry range of φ = 0.5 - 2, CJ detonation velocities in Diesel fuel / Air mixtures overall empirical approximation for ignition delays is are VCJ = 1735 ± 20 m/s (for φ = 2); 1580 ± 15 m/s (for (2) (Fig.9): φ = 1); and 1450 ± 20 m/s (for φ = 0.5).

A peep into the future of Suri Cruise
It takes a lot of pain and hard work to become a celebrity, but if you are born to a celebrity couple, you don't have to lean over your backwards to earn name and fame, you are a born celebrity. Suri Cruise is a case in point. Tom cruise, a Hollywood actor and film producer, and Katie Holmes, a Hollywood actress, are the proud parents of a beautiful daughter Suri Cruise. Katie Holmes has stated that 'Being a Mom is magical'. This statement is for Suri Cruise. She also told a fashion magazine that 'I feel very lucky. I have a husband and children that I adore. I have a career that I really love. When I sit back and reflect, it's – Wow! I am very grateful.' Ganesha analyses lucky Suri's horoscope with the help of Vedic Astrology.
Suri Cruise
Date of Birth: April 18, 2006
Time: 3:26 AM
Place: Santa Monica (CA) (USA)
Suri Cruise's Natal Chart
Suri is born with Capricorn Ascendant with Neptune conjunct the Ascendant. Ganesha feels that she will be a very sensitive person when she grows up. She has strong Capricornian influence because Saturn is aspecting the Ascendant by 7th aspect. She will be a assiduous human being, says Ganesha. She will be highly possessive about people she associates with. As she has Sun in the sign of exaltation in her birth chart, she is likely to achieve fame. However, because Sun is on the 'darker side' of the horoscope, she will have to work very hard in order to remain in limelight.
Suri Cruise's Dasha Analysis (Planetary Periods)
Suri's Yog Karaka planet is Venus and luckily she will be under the influence of Venus Major period from April 2013 to April 2033. This will be a very great period in her life during which she will mint money and may also achieve fame. In this period, along with glory, she is also likely to get into relationships. However, Saturn in the seventh house indicates that she may have delayed marriage and seventh house Lord in the 12th house indicates unstable married life or relationship break up. After Venus major period, Sun major period will rule for 6 years. Sun is exalted in her chart but its 8th house Lord in the birth chart, so progress will continue but difficulties in various areas of life may also be there.
Will Suri Cruise join media?
Suri has Neptune in the Ascendant. Venus is exalted in the Natal chart. In Shad Bala (Six type of Planetary Strengths calculated for all the planets, except for nodes) Venus is very powerful. She has fire and Air Elements almost equally balanced in her chart. Considering all these points in line with planetary Dasha Bhuktis, Ganesha feels that Suri will start appearing in media at a very tender age.
In short, Ganesha finds that Suri Cruise has a bright future.
Good luck and may Lord Ganesha bless Suri Cruise with enormous success.
Ganesha's Grace,
Bhavesh N. Pattni

Mukeshbhai gets up from his bed room on 15th floor, takes a swim in the swimming pool on 17th floor, has breakfast on the 19th floor, dresses up for office on 14th floor, collects his files and office bag from his personal office on 21st floor, wishes Bye to Nitabhabhi on 16th floor, says 'See You' to his children on 13th floor, and goes down on 3rd floor to self drive his 2.5 Crore Mercedes to office, but then he finds out that he has forgotten the car keys upstairs. But on which floor? 15th, 17th,19th,14th,21st,16th or 13th ? He phones all his servants, cooks, maids, secretaries, pool attendants, gym trainers, etc. on all the floors. There is a hectic search and lot of running about on all the floors, but thekey is not traceable. Fed up, after half an hour, Mukeshbhai leaves in a chauffeur driven ordinary Ikon car. At 3.30 P.M. late in the afternoon it is discovered that 4 days back, a temporary replacement maid had washed Mukeshbhai's pants and hung it to dry on a string in the balcony of 16th floor, with car keys in the pant pocket. They had blown away somewhere in the high winds at 16th floor level and was never found. This was found out because of Nitabhabhi's habit of checking clothes given for ironing personally. Meanwhile, after 3 days of the incident, Nita bhabhi with all irritation writ large on her face, complained to Mukesh bhai asking him where he was roaming till 3 am last night. Mukesh replied that he was at home all night. `Then why did the helicopter land in the terrace at 3 am? I was so worried. I could not sleep whole night," quizzed Nita bhabhi. "Oh that helicopter`.. That helicopter came from Germany, sent by guys from BMW to deliver the duplicate car key..." mumbled Mukesh. Moral of The Story: A two bed room flat is a better choice. |

The Fresh Market, Inc. Reports Second Quarter And First Half Fiscal 2012 Earnings
Total sales increased 20.6% for the second quarter and 21.7% for the first half
Comparable store sales increased 8.0% for the second quarter and 8.1% for the first half
Company raises guidance for fiscal 2012
GREENSBORO, N.C., Aug. 29, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Fresh Market, Inc. (Nasdaq:TFM), a high-growth specialty retailer, today announced unaudited sales and earnings results for its second quarter and first half period ended July 29, 2012. Financial Overview In the second quarter of fiscal 2012, net sales increased 20.6% to $313.0 million and comparable store sales increased 8.0%, compared to the corresponding thirteen week period last year. Net income in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 26.9% to $13.3 million, from $10.5 million in the corresponding thirteen week period in fiscal 2011. Diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 was $0.28, an increase of 26.4% over diluted earnings per share of $0.22 for the corresponding period in fiscal 2011. First half fiscal 2012 net sales were $637.8 million, a 21.7% increase as compared to the corresponding twenty-six week period in fiscal 2011, while comparable store sales increased 8.1%. Net income increased 35.9% to $32.6 million as compared to $24.0 million in the corresponding twenty-six week period in fiscal 2011. Diluted earnings per share for first half fiscal 2012 increased 35.5%, to $0.68, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.50 for the corresponding twenty-six week period in fiscal 2011. Items described under "Items Impacting Comparability" (below) impact the comparability of quarterly and first half results and should be reviewed by investors in order to assess the Company's ongoing operations on a comparable basis. "We are extremely pleased with our strong second quarter performance for both sales and earnings growth," said Craig Carlock, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our comparable store sales grew 8.0% in the second quarter, led by customer transactions and continuing the sales momentum we've seen over the past several quarters. Additionally, during the quarter we opened five new stores, we made significant progress on our California expansion plans and, despite incremental public company expenses, transactions costs due to our public offering and legal settlement costs incurred during the quarter, we were able to increase our operating margin to 6.9%. We continue to be extremely enthusiastic about the consistency of our business and are therefore raising our fiscal 2012 guidance to reflect not only the strong first half performance but our continued confidence in our second half growth prospects. We now believe that fiscal 2012 comparable sales growth will be 5.5% to 6.5% and that our earnings per share will be between $1.33 and $1.38, including the absorption of equity offering transaction expenses and incremental legal costs incurred this quarter."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Customer Raves & Reviews
Devoted Save the Date Magnets This was my first time using Magnet Street, but my cousin highly recommended using this site. From start to finish Magnet Street was efficient and professional. I really loved how I was able to order samples; and the amount you paid for samples was used towards the actual purchase! What a great deal! I was able to customize the colors to the perfect Yellow and Gray (my color scheme.) After proofing, I couldn't believe how quickly the save the dates arrived at my door, and not to mention the way they packaged everything confirmed that they wanted their costumers satisfied. The magnets were of good quality and they came out amazing. I would recommend Magnet Stree to anyone getting married! Can't wait to mail these babies out! Thank you Magnet Street!!
Save the Date magnets
Hidden Stripe Save the Date Magnets These looked really good when we received them. Was easy to customize and add photos to, and it was nice to be able to order just one to get an idea of the quality and colors once printed. Also got the final order fairly quickly. Photos look pretty clear, not perfect, but good! For what it is the photos were totally fine! Would recommend for sure.
So good you'll need photoshop
Devoted Save the Date Magnets The quality of the magnet was very good. I thought I wouldn't need to Photoshop my little flaws here and there. Oops. Also, I came out darker than I thought I would. I really recommend ordering 1 BEFORE ordering like 100. Should have listened to my instincts!
Great Magnets!
I Got You Babe! Save the Date Magnets We just got our magnets in the mail and we're super pleased with them. Everything is just as it looked when we customized it. The only complaint I have is that our picture isn't tack sharp. I suggest sharpening your image a little extra before sending it off. If you don't know how to do that, ask someone with a photo editing program like Photoshop.
Size and Quality
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets The size and quality of these were exactly what we were looking for. I love how they came with the envelope as most places you have to pay extra for that. I would definitely recommend this product.

Removing Splinters
Topic Overview
Before using tweezers or a needle, try using cellophane tape to remove a splinter. Simply put the tape over the splinter, then pull the tape off. The tape will stick to the splinter and remove it painlessly. If tape doesn't work:
- Wash your hands well with soap and water.
- Grasp the end of the splinter with clean tweezers, and gently pull it out.
- If the splinter is embedded in the skin, clean a needle with alcohol and make a small hole in the skin over the end of the splinter.
- Lift the splinter with the tip of the needle until it can be grasped with the tweezers and pulled out.
- Do not wet or soak the splinter because it will be harder to remove in one piece.
- After the splinter has been removed, clean the wound and watch for any signs of infection.
You may need medical care if the splinter:
- Is very large.
- Is deeply embedded in the skin.
- Cannot be easily removed.
- Is in the eye.
- Broke off and part of it remains in the wound or if you are uncertain if the splinter has been removed.

Efficient femtosecond pulse generation using a parabolic amplifier combined with a pulse compressor. I. Stimulated Raman-scattering effects
JOSA B, Vol. 23, Issue 1, pp. 1-9 (2006)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (170 KB)
The effects of stimulated Raman scattering on femtosecond pulse generation using a parabolic amplifier and a grating-pair compressor are presented. We derive an explicit analytical form for the Stokes pulse evolution. We find that the evolution of the Stokes pulse can be divided into four regimes; small Gaussian Stokes pulse, small asymmetric Stokes pulse, signal depletion, and parabolic Raman pulse. To achieve efficient pulse compression, one should operate the parabolic amplifier in the small Stokes pulse regime where the signal pulse is not seriously distorted. We also derive an analytical expression to obtain a critical fiber length for the small Stokes pulse regime. The derived theory is applied to a realistic high-power femtosecond pulse generation process through a split-step Fourier numerical simulation. The pulse compression results confirm that our derived critical fiber length leads to the highest peak power and shortest width of compressed pulse.

This is the sequel to LittleFoot. If you haven't seen it, this movie will make very little sense ;)
I originally intended the littleFoot sequel to be a movie called 'Waterlollies' of around 6-7 min. I emailed a hero of mine, legendary Pogues whistle player Spider Stacy (the main influence on my own musical tastes) to ask if he would create an intro theme tune of 20-30 seconds that I could use at the start of every Brackenwood episode. He agreed, but he went better than that. He got some mates together and created this amazing 3 min song that kicks arse.
When I listened to the tune for the first time, all I could see in my mind was Bitey rocketing over the Brackenwood landscape. So I decided to create a standalone movie that was basically a music video for this song.
You won't find a story here, just a 3min action sequence that follows on directly from littleFoot.
"Waterlollies" is my next Brackenwood installment which will be finished sometime in March 2007. Check out my site for some preview screenshots.
I also wanna thank all of Newgrounds admin, staff and members for your support of my work. Couldn't keep doing this without ya.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You know the Pogues? You're amazing... whistle sequence reminds me a bit of "Hell's Ditch" and "Young Ned of the Hill"

American League Preview from The Sports Network Saturday, August 30 (All times Eastern) New York Yankees (70-63) at Toronto Blue Jays (67-67), 1:07 p.m. Probable Starting Pitchers: New York - Michael Pineda (3-2, 1.95) Toronto - Drew Hutchison (8-11, 4.68) (SportsNetwork.com) - Michael Pineda eyes another strong showing on Saturday when the New York Yankees continue a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Pineda allowed six hits or less for an MLB-leading 15th straight start on Monday to pick up his first win in over four months in Kansas City. He allowed one run over 6 1/3 innings, winning for the first time since April 16. He gave up five hits and struck out five without walking a batter. "It seems like when he's able to take the ball, that's what he does," catcher Brian McCann said. "When he takes the mound, he's as good as it gets." Pineda, who missed over four months with a back injury, has surrendered two runs or less in all seven of his starts this season and is 3-2 with a 1.95 ERA. He beat the Blue Jays back on April 5 and is 1-1 with a 4.38 in four starts against them. Toronto, meanwhile, will counter with righty Drew Hutchison, who is 8-11 with a 4.68 ERA. Hutchison did not get a decision against Tampa Bay on Sunday, but pitched well, giving up a run and six hits in six innings of his team's 2-1 loss. After giving up 13 runs in his previous two outings, Hutchison produced his ninth quality start of the season. He is 8-11 on the year with a 4.68 ERA. Hutchison beat the Yanks back on July 26. He is 2-3 lifetime against them, though, with a 5.81 ERA in five starts. New York continued to roll on Friday, as Jacoby Ellsbury hit a two-run homer to cap a five-run seventh inning that powered the Yankees to a 6-3 win. Chris Capuano (2-3) started Friday's series opener for New York and earned his first win with the club. The veteran lefty allowed three runs -- two earned -- on eight hits and walked one in 6 1/3 innings. "I'm really happy to get a win," said Capuano. "I was just focusing on making pitches." New York won for the seventh time in nine tries, but may have to get by without Ellsbury on Saturday, as he is questionable for the contest with an ankle injury. Toronto starter Mark Buehrle (11-9) held the Yankees scoreless through the first six innings, but left without recording an out in the seventh.
