Generation of sub-30 fs ultraviolet pulses by Raman induced phase modulation in nitrogen
Optics Express, Vol. 13, Issue 7, pp. 2467-2474 (2005)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1564 KB)
We demonstrate compression of ultrashort light pulses in the ultraviolet (UV) by impulsively excited molecular wave-packets in nitrogen filled in a 25 cm long hollow waveguide of 128 µm diameter. After compression with CaF2 prisms the pulse duration was determined by XFROG to be 23 fs with a time-bandwidth product of 0.50. The advantages of our technique are high efficiency and the possibility to use it also for pulses at wavelength shorter than 200 nm. The experimental observations are explained by a theoretical model.

Royal Jordanian January passenger traffic up 25 percent year-on-year
Royal Jordanian said on Sunday passenger traffic rose 25 percent in January from a year earlier despite the impact of regional unrest on the aviation industry.
February 27, 2012 12:50 by Reuters
RJ's President and CEO Hussein al-Dabbas said a record rise in traffic to 213,000 passengers in January compared to last year in a traditionally slow month also pushed up its seat occupancy rate that month from a year earlier by 11 percent.
Dabbas said the rise bucked a downward trend in a region that has witnessed a decline in "travel especially from Europe and the Far East" due to Middle East turmoil and unrest in Syria, the kingdom's northern neighbour.
The state airliners' passenger traffic grew 6 percent to 3.2 million passengers in 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
RJ's operating revenues grew 6.3 percent to 683 million dinars ($963 million) compared to last year despite a 20 percent rise in its operating costs, mainly on the back of higher fuel prices.
Jordan sold 71 percent of the airline in an initial public offering at the end of 2007. Foreign investors — including the Beirut-based investment firm controlled by Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati's family, which acquired a 19.5 percent shareholding — now own at least 33 percent of the carrier's capital.
Local investors, including the government which still retains a 29 percent stake, have a majority to ensure the carrier maintains it's right to fly under bilateral accords.
Royal Jordanian, which serves 60 destinations, announced some cuts earlier this month in flights to uneconomic destinations, as part of plans to reduce operating costs.
The carrier has expanded its daily flights to Libyan destinations to capitalise on a fast growth market, primarily composed of thousands of Libyans seeking medical treatment at the country's private hospitals since the toppling last year of Muammar Gaddafi.

CommentsYour teeth have to be the cutest things I have ever seen! Have you ever considered cosplaying John Egbert?
You're a pretty good cosplayer, but I'm seeing a pattern here. You're most girly cosplay is Mercury. Granted all the main characters in that series are pretty girly. There's Tuxedo Mask and a couple of the villains, but they're still minor characters compared to the others. There's also flame princess, but she's only girly when she's cooled. She's pretty tomboyish when she's fired up. Not only that almost every cosplay you do is that of a boy. Why is that?
Of topic if two girls kiss cosplaying as boys, is that yaoi or yuri? Better question two girls kiss while cosplaying boys who were turned into girls, is that yaoi or yuri? Better still if Maka kiss Crona, is that normal or yuri? For that matter if Corna kisses Black Star or Death the Kid, is that yaoi or normal.? I love your cosplay, you're an amazing Robin <3. And I love your youtube cosplay shenanigans they're hilarious

Chilled Carrot Almond Dessert Soup with Almond Raisin Pesto
Author Notes: This is an adaptation of a South Indian Style carrot dessert called Carrot Payasam. - vegetarianirvana - vegetarianirvana
Food52 Review: Sophisticated, subtle, and so satisfying. This chilled carrot almond dessert soup from Vegetarianirvana is that rare treasure, an absolutely delicious healthy dessert! The buttery almond raisin pesto imparts an appealing crunch to the silky smooth, cardamom- kissed carrot puree. Another time I may experiment with maple syrup or honey in place of the sugar, but this recipe is already 100% perfect, and is definitely an Editor's Pick. (I had good luck using a food processor instead of the recommended blender.) - AppleAnnie
Serves about 3
- 2 cups carrots [9oz/250 gms] cut into 1/2 inch dice
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk and some extra
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon powdered cardamom
- 10 almonds
- 1 tablespoon salted butter[adds a nice countepoint to the sweet soup]
- 1 tablespoon golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons 1/2 and 1/2 or light cream
- toasted slivered almonds [optional]
- Soak the almonds in warm water for a couple of hours before starting the soup. Before using, remove the skin.
- Put diced carrots in a cup of milk and pressure cook it. If you don't have access to a pressure cooker, cook it in milk till the carrots are soft and disintegrate when pressed between two fingers.
- If your milk has evaporated in the process of cooking, top up the remaining milk to make 1 and 1/2 cups of milk in total. You loose very little liquid if you pressure cook the carrots.
- Grind 8 almonds in some of the milk in a blender. Then add the steamed carrots, the rest of the milk and puree till almost baby food consistancy.
- Pour the carrot, almond milk puree in a saucepan. Add the sugar and cardamom powder and let it come to a boil. Then let it simmer for about 10 minutes. You will get a little over two cups of creamy carrot soup.
- Of couse you can add some more sugar, milk or cardamom depending on your taste.
- Once the soup cools down, refrigerate. for at least two hours.
- Meanwhile make the pesto. Brown the butter and turn the stove off. Add the raisins to the butter and stir it for a few till it get rehydrated. Put the brown butter, raisins, the remaining two almonds and the 1/2 and 1/2 or light cream and blend till you get a gritty textured pesto.
- Serve the chilled soup with a dollop of the pesto and slivered almonds if using.

I remember a version of this being made at home growing up. Really raked up nostalgia here with the carrot payasam Sandhya!
about 4 years ago vegetarianirvana
Thank you so much Appleannie! It was the last but one carrot entry to be picked and I was joking to my family it is going to be a pity pick! Thanks so much for your eloquent review.Maple and honey will definitely make great substitutions for the sugar. I am happy you enjoyed the soup so much.
about 4 years ago AppleAnnie
I was so lucky to get this recipe to test! The sugar was just the right amount to balance the cardamom, and the carrot was a perfect partner for the slightly sweet cardamom flavor. A heavenly combination! I experimented once, stirring in a splash of calvados to a single serving, which was also a delicious combination, although the calvados did somewhat overpower the cardamom,and it might not be recognized as carrot payasam!

It's rare that a game can hit the mark in so many different and often conflicting areas. Fallout 3 offers freedom without sacrificing a focused story. It delivers fantastic combat without forgoing a deep role-playing system. The characters you meet are engaging and oftentimes hilarious without feeling out of place in this harsh world.
In fact, Fallout 3 is leaner and meaner than Bethesda's previous efforts, less expansive but more intense, while still offering immense replay value and quite a few thrills along the way.
Fallout 3 is the best PC game I have played all year, the developers did a bang up job of making the series come alive once more and I for one couldn't be happier.
Yes, Fallout 3 is a lot like Oblivion (with guns!), but it's a superior game in nearly every way, as it features a more engaging storyline, impeccable presentation, and hundreds of hours of addictive gameplay. While the jury is still out on whether or not hardcore Fallout enthusiasts will accept the game as part of the storied franchise, Fallout 3 is a must-have title for most RPG fans, as well as one of the finest games of this generation.
Fallout 3 isn't perfect, and some longtime fans may focus more on what it isn't rather than what it has become in Bethesda's hands, but its shortcomings pale before the fun that kept pushing me ahead to find out what was over the next hill of rubble.
That's the beauty of survival, and this world of fallout: It feeds on adventure and breathes in freedom, yet it dreams of order and the safety of the Vault. I can describe it, explain it, tell it in finely chosen words, but I can never make you fully understand for as long as you sit and listen. But even if I die, I do not worry. There will come a time when you will seize that lever and open that metal door, and it is then I will return.
Faults be damned, though; this is the kind of hugely ambitious game that doesn't come around very often, and when it does, you'd be a fool not to play it and enjoy the hell out of it and look forward to the day (next-next-gen?) when the fidelity of open-world RPGs takes another big step closer to the uncanny valley's far side.
Definitely, no videogame fan should let Fallout 3 escape. There are so many things you can do, places you can explore and situations to experiment, that regardless the many times we could say this is a superb title, an instant classic, there is no better way to understand the reason for such praise than to get lost in the ruinous Washington D.C. region.
In Fallout 3 Bethesda has made a very good thing, though it is somewhat hampered by the lack of variable scenery and a VATS that plays less than perfectly.
The ironically devastated world of Fallout has never been better realized than in Fallout 3, offering a vast landscape that is almost relentlessly bleak in its hopelessness. It's absorbing, immersive, paradoxically beautiful, and kind of depressing to play over long periods of time.
This is a good game. It's a really good game. It's only failing is that it has a mark of greatness upon it and, ever so cruelly, fails to completely achieve it.
It's a game that rewards the long-haul with deep, inventive missions which eschew the usual fetch and kill structure, ensuring that the many hours spent in Fallout 3's wasteland aren't wasted. [Christmas 2008, p.88]
Undoubtedly a worthy title in its own right and has enough character and charm, coupled with solid gameplay, to make this one day after tomorrow that you shouldn't miss.
Fallout 3 brings back a legendary saga to the foreground of video games and it does it with remarkable successes. Graphically it is a very powerful title, the ambience is carefully planned, and its size, freedom and scope are its principal highlights. It is as captivating a game in the beginning as easy to forget in the mid term; despite this, we can say that it is a title that is worth trying.
This is a massive game: in a month that's seen the release of five or six of the year's best titles, I reckon this is the absolute peach. It's packed with interesting places, with choices to make, with that nebulous sense of adventure you only find in the best RPGs.
But Fallout 3 has fidelity to its predecessors in more important ways, such as offering an incredible depth of role-playing opportunities. [Holiday 2008, p.54]
I hesitate to say, at this early stage, that this is actually a better game than either Fallout 1 or 2, but it very well may be; at the least, it is game-of-the-year material.
Fallout 3 is an outstanding game. The main story claims a small part of the whole post-apocalyptic world, which can be explored totally free.
Fallout 3 is one of this year's best games. It's an unforgettable journey that lives up to the series. You are an ex-vault 101 inhabitant, and you discover a whole new world, full of zombies, mutants, raiders, aliens and all kinds of creatures. Welcome to this post-apocaliptic reality, where you are going to spend hundreds of hours.
A vast and open world of unimaginable possibilities opens in front of you in Fallout 3. Great story, flawless combat system, and the option to choose your own way makes it a hot candidate for game of the year. [Nov 2008]
Fallout 3 is the biggest accomplishment in adventure gaming since Oblivion.
There's no denying Fallout 3 is little more than Oblivion in a post-apocalyptic setting. However that's more a compliment than complaint.
Anyone who played Bethesda's Oblivion, 2006's 'Game of the year,' will find the mission structure familiar, save for the game's auto-targeting system, called V.A.T.S., which is sometimes more of a hindrance than help. Even so, gamers with a taste for detailed storylines and Mad Max style visuals, will find that Fallout 3 delivers a solid, entertaining role-playing experience that will keep you glued to the couch for hours.
So what you have here with Fallout 3 is a great addition to the series, even if you are a die-hard fan of Black Isle Studios' work with the previous Fallout titles. It has some slight faults, but the quality of the rest of the package more than makes up for it all.
Regardless of the sometimes-weak combat, this is role-playing at its finest.
Thrillingly dark, gruesomely adult and one of the most atmospheric games ever. [Dec 2008, p.66]
Fallout 3 is an experience in itself, and while it may not offer as much replay value as Oblivion, it's so much more then an "Oblivion with guns".
Bethesda has done the Fallout series justice and should be proud of the game they made, unfortunately, the scope of the project was too much for them and the PC game felt unfinished in places, but simply outstanding in other areas.
The sequel we've been waiting for. It more than lives up to years of expectation, as Bethesda has seamlessly transitioned the franchise from RPG to tactical FPS without skipping a beat. Game of the year? Quite possibly.
It couldn't possibly satisfy all of our hopes, but Fallout 3 is still a glorious experience that will utterly nuke your social life. [Christmas 2008, p.86]

Deep-Dish Apple-Blackberry Pie
From EatingWell: September 1997
With a traditional high-fat pie dough, it's easy to go wrong because the dough must be chilled and rolled out while the butter or shortening is still cold - a relatively small window of time (especially for beginners). Nuts and nut oil replace most of the butter in this pie crust, so the timing is less particular. The dough doesn't need to be refrigerated, which cuts down on preparation time, and because it is rolled out between sheets of plastic wrap, it won't stick to the countertop and it can be easily lifted.
Makes: 8 servings
Active Time:
Total Time:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 pounds tart apples, (about 6 apples)
- 2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries, (not thawed)
- 1 recipe Walnut Pastry Dough, (recipe follows)
This recipe calls for:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with nonstick spray.
- Combine lemon juice and vanilla in a large bowl. Peel, core and cut apples into 3/4-inch chunks, tossing them in the lemon juice mixture as you work.
- Mix 2/3 cup sugar and cornstarch and toss with apples. Add blackberries.
- Place 2 overlapping sheets of plastic wrap on a work surface. Set the larger disk of dough in the center and cover with 2 more sheets of plastic wrap. Roll the dough into a 13-inch circle. Remove top sheets and invert dough into the prepared pan, letting excess dough hang over the edges. Gently press the dough into bottom and sides of pan. Pull off plastic wrap. With a rubber spatula, scrape the apple-blackberry filling into pie shell.
- Roll out smaller disk of dough as above, making an 11-inch circle. Remove top sheets of plastic and invert dough over filling. Pull off plastic wrap. Press together edges of pastry to seal. With the tip of a sharp knife, cut 3 or 4 short slashes to vent steam. Moisten a pastry brush with water and lightly brush top of pie. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Place the pie on a baking sheet with sides.
- Bake until crust is golden and filling bubbles, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: The dough will keep, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. Return dough to room temperature before rolling.

There are times when accessories-makers sacrifice durability for design, or vice versa. But Bracketron's new MetalDock for the iPhone 4 and 4S proves this isn't always the case. Revealed this week at CTIA 2012, the charging dock fuses heavy-duty (but lightweight) metal construction with a pleasingly minimalist design. It's the best of both worlds.
The MetalDock can connect to any USB port to power up and sync your smartphone when it's plugged in. Its attractive L-shape can be used in both portrait and landscape modes, and a rubberized base means your dock can stand securely in place. Our only quibble with the product is how it doesn't seem to include a way to plug in directly to a wall outlet, but any standard iPhone charger will do that anyway.
The Bracketron MetalDock will retail for $34.95 when it becomes available for purchase in June.

MLS referees locked out with season about to start
Major League Soccer's referees and other on-field officials were locked out Friday, a day before the season openers — including Sporting Kansas City's match in Seattle against the Sounders.
The Professional Referee Organization, which manages game officials for the U.S. Soccer Federation and MLS, notified the Professional Soccer Referee Association of the lockout and said replacement officials will be used.
PRO said the union, which was formed last year, rejected a no strike-no lockout agreement that management had proposed. The sides have bargained since July without reaching a deal on a labor contract.
"Our proposal represents a significant increase above current compensation for referees and places them above the average for officials around the world," said PRO general manager Peter Walton, an English Premier League referee from 2003-12.
PRO said in the year and a half since its formation, it had increased full-time officials from two to nine and added 11 part-time officials.
The PSRA has filed unfair labor practice charges accusing the PRO of bad-faith bargaining and making threats against its members.
"We have requested a plethora of information, including financials, that PRO and MLS have refused to provide, instead demanding we take their pleas of poverty at face value," said Lukas Middlebrook, a lawyer for the union.
PRO said replacements include former international FIFA officials who have moved to the U.S. and former MLS officials.

But is the movie itself any good? Sadly, no. George Clooney tamps down the charm in the Joseph Cotten role as a patsy reporter, stumbling ass-backward into all sorts of shady cover-ups and secrets involving his sultry former flame (Cate Blanchett, delivering a massively scaled pre-Method turn that's simply a joy) and his hotshot black-market hustler GI chauffeur (a lamentably screechy Tobey Maguire).
Adapted by screenwriter Paul Attanasio from Joseph Kanon's novel, this is one bleakly convoluted bit of business, involving war crimes, prostitution and nuclear secrets. The story is so depressing that a final airfield shout-out to Casablanca feels vinegary and mean-spirited.
Even more jarring is Soderbergh's head-scratching insistence on the constant use of profanity from all involved. (The Good German has more cussing than The Departed.) Playing it straight with period-specific details while ratcheting up the sex and violence to thoroughly modern levels results in a strange, clanging discord--the spell never holds. (It's like watching the F-word scene in Far From Heaven for two hours.)
Of course this was probably Soderbergh's point--to upend our voluptuous classic-movie memories with a nasty dose of grim reality. But knowing that doesn't make it any easier to watch.
The Good Shepherd
Directed by Robert De Niro
Reviewed by Sean Burns
Opens Fri., Dec. 22
My goodness, WASPs are creepy ... and dull too.
At least that's the message one takes away from The Good Shepherd, Robert De Niro's second directorial effort, an egregiously overlong, one-note slog through the secret history of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Matt Damon continues to stake his claim as one of our finest and subtlest young actors, delivering a tiny tour de force of white-bread emotional constipation as Edward Wilson, a distant young Yalie who--over the course of what feels like an eternity--moves from naked Skull-and-Bones induction ceremonies to engineering the Bay of Pigs invasion, all while surrounded by the same bland, blond members of the chattering class.
Granted, this ain't such a bad idea--examining how, in the wake of WWII, a certain sort of blue-blood elite moved to the forefront of our burgeoning national defense industry, often using the same recruiting methods and veils of secrecy they learned in their fraternities. The Good Shepherd clearly wants to be the Cold War Ordinary People. (Timothy Hutton's cameo can't be an accident.)
But the problem is De Niro nails a particular chilly, paranoid tone and then stubbornly refuses to modulate it for damn near three hours. It's a movie of endless stoic pauses and epic pregnant silences. Damon's Wilson begins the film as such an impacted, closed-off cipher, there's really nowhere left for him to go when the blunders and bodies begin piling up. He retreats so far inward that eventually he's barely there, which is a fine piece of acting--but not really one you'd want to hang a whole movie on. (2001: A Space Odyssey's Keir Dullea co-stars, which is sort of fitting, since Damon's already playing HAL.)
A wildly miscast Angelina Jolie does what little she can in the stock nagging wife role. De Niro has more luck with bit parts from famous friends Alec Baldwin and Joe Pesci, both of whom bring too-brief moments of ethnic flavor to the starchy proceedings. The Good Shepherd is handsomely mounted and well-intentioned, but also so slow and stuffy you'll wish somebody would just open a window already.
The Pursuit of Happyness
Directed by Gabriele Muccino
Reviewed by Matt Prigge
Now showing
For the easily grossed-out (hi), The Pursuit of Happyness faces an uphill battle. Approved by Oprah (blech), attempting to make a big star look serious (oy) while also gunking him up (feh), Happyness also sports the kind of obscenely isolated pulling-up-from-the-bootstraps yarn that keeps Republicans in office (boo!). And did I mention the too-cute misspelling of its title? (Yuck.) Forget about Will Smith and his son trying to scrape by during a six-month unpaid internship at Dean Witter Reynolds. How will the film fare among grumps?
Shockingly well, at least in my case. There's no denying Happyness, culled from the memoirs of (now-multimillionaire) Chris Gardner, is pure inspirational pablum. But it's the kind that earns its fuzziness, basically by putting it off till the last possible moment.
Torn between family responsibilities and a need to do something with his smarts (set in 1981, the film makes extensive use of the newly arrived Rubik's Cube), Smith watches as his beleaguered wife (the once-promising Thandie Newton, as with Crash, more than happy to exacerbate a misogynistic creation) leaves him with their adorable moppet (played by Smith's adorable moppet).
Gardner's tale takes us from cheap hotels to sudden evictions to nights spent in subway bathrooms, but Happyness isn't an everything-goes-wrong-all-the-time piece of sadism. It's relentless, but only in the sense that it, like Smith, is always on the move. Indeed, there hasn't been this much running in a movie since, well, Run Lola Run. (Smith, who finally follows up on his Six Degrees of Separation promise, deserves an Oscar for dexterity alone.)
Directed by Italian filmmaker Gabriele Muccino (the original The Last Kiss) and written by Steven Conrad (The Weather Man), the film is relatively understated (Smith cries once) and eccentrically detailed. One of the nicer touches finds Smith still lugging around a slew of "bone density scanners"--an earlier harebrained scheme and a constant heavy reminder of a previous failure.
Happyness may not delve deep into the dark side of the American capitalist dream. It just lives it in every nervy, ragged frame.

Fajardo (Spanish pronunciation: [faˈxaɾðo]) is a small city and municipality in Puerto Rico located in the east region of the island, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, north of Ceiba and east of Luquillo. Fajardo is spread over 7 wards and Downtown Fajardo (commonly called by the locals "Fajardo Pueblo"), which serves as the administrative center of the city. It is both a principal city of the Fajardo Metropolitan Statistical Area and the San Juan-Caguas-Fajardo Combined Statistical Area.
Fajardo is the hub of the majority of recreational boating in Puerto Rico and a popular launching port to Culebra, Vieques, and the American and British Virgin Islands. It is also the home to the largest Marina in the Caribbean, called Puerto del Rey. The town contains various hotels and inns.
Off shore, near Fajardo, a few islets can be found. These are Icacos, Palominos, Palominito, and Diablo, among other uninhabited coral islands.
Fajardo was founded in 1760, 1773 or 1774 (depending on the authority) by Codey Astol de Fajardo. It was one of the locations used by the Americans to invade Puerto Rico. On August 1, 1898 the USS Puritan under the command of Captain Frederic W. Rodgers, was sailing by the coastline of the city of Fajardo, when Rogers noticed the "Faro de Las Cabezas de San Juan" (Cape San Juan lighthouse) which was supposed to be the landing site for the US Army in Puerto Rico. Rodgers ordered some of his men ashore, which included Puerto Rican volunteers, with the mission of posting the American Flag atop the lighthouse.

Fajardo is popular among tourists, especially local tourists, because of its seafood, hotels, closeness to the small islands of Palomino, Icacos and Palominito, and the many daily trips that are available to Vieques and Culebra, both by boat and by the four airlines that served Fajardo Airport (recently closed): Air Culebra, Air St. Thomas, Isla Nena Air and Vieques Air Link.
Fajardo's beaches are bounded by calm, clear water ideal for snorkeling. Seven Seas Beach offers plentiful water sports facilities, offshore points for sailing, snorkeling and plenty of scuba diving.
Fajardo is also home to one of the few Bioluminescent Lagoons in the world. Nightly trips are offered by kayak by local companies who give educational tours.

Fajardo in the past was home to a National Superior Basketball; Baloncesto Superior Nacional BSN basketball team, the Fajardo Cariduros or as they are known in the Island Cariduros de Fajardo. George Torres, Mario Morales and Mario Butler were three of the most famous players to play for that franchise.
In 2007, the team returned once again to the BSN. The team known as the "Titanes de Morovis" was moved to Fajardo, and was renamed "Cariduros de Fajardo". Unlike the NBA and other sports leagues in the USA, Puerto Rican franchises rarely leave the original name of the franchise when they move to a different city.
Once, there was a basketball team for the Puerto Rican Basketball League known as the "Conquistadores de Fajardo".
Fajardo also has a AA Amateur Baseball Team Los Cariduros de Fajardo and have won over 10 sectional championships, 3 time national runner ups in 1974, 2003 and 2005, and 3 times national champions in 1954, 2004 and 2010.

Elorin Moonshade |
Elorin shakes his head after Alexia knocks on the door. "Six armed intruders break down your door, even fall through your roof, then ask you to come out of your hiding place. Either an ambush awaits us in there or we have scared an innocent being nearly to death."
The paladin lowers his bow and goes to the middle of the room. He turns towards the door and speaks loudly to whomever may be waiting on the other side. "It may not seem like it but we come in peace. We are here to search this old temple and thought it abbandoned, we truely mean you no harm. Please speak to us and you shall be treated fairly. You have my word as a paladin of the goddess Sarenrae that it will be so."
Elorin Moonshade |
"Unfortunitly we can not just go away friend, lives are at stake and we must act. Please, we do not wish to damage you home any more, but we will do what we must. I will have the others back out to the next room and will speak to you unarmed if you will just come out. Do you agree?"
Alexia |
"I hardly think you have a hundred, I only heard one. We do need to search this place and would rather do it peacefully, please let us. It's important we do before someone worse comes along who isn't so nice about it." She motions Gryff closer, "...if they don't let us in...." She trails off softly.
Diplomacy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
Gryfford The Unrelenting |
"Not as such, Arasmes, but... I have been testing some... unorthodox combat moves lately, during my morning routine."
Seemingly by its own volition, Gryfford's right hand softly plays along the edge of his falchion's scabbard. The tenderness of the gesture is a little disconcerting for those unused to seeing it.
"If our friend behind the door remains deaf to our gentle paladin's entreaties, I've got a good mind to sunder the problem."
Gryfford The Unrelenting |
Gryfford's falchion seems to leap into his hands of its own accord, and in a blur of practiced warrior's motion he launches himself at the door, all the momentum and speed of his movement being transferred from his pivoting haunches to his arms and then to his blade - which strikes squarely and with great strength right at the middle of the wooden door.
Gryfford Sunders the door: 20 + 8 + 1 + 1 = 30
Falchion's sundering (critical) damage on the door: 4d4 + 18 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 4) + 18 = 30
"If your target is immobilized, unconscious, or otherwise incapacitated, your maneuver automatically succeeds (treat as if you rolled a natural 20 on the attack roll)."
DM_Awesome |
With a great crash the doors splinter under Gryff's blow. Shards of wood fly into the room and the iron hinges groan and creak as they give way.
When you look into the room it appears to be a large chamber with many benches and a full sized statue at the other end. Along the walls are tables with books and candles.
In the main aisle between the benches lies the motionless body of a young woman with reddish hair. Her clothes consist of a simple cleric's robe, and a pair of sandals.
Adriel Mistleaf |
Adriel enters the room behind Gryff, not being drawn in by the woman, he and and Chatterbeak both scan the room for enemies.
Adriel Perception1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Chatterbeak Perception1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15
The room seems clear. Check her.

UC Merced's founders hail the newest campus
By Steven Finacom
30 October 2002
Hundreds of University of California representatives, government dignitaries, and local community members gathered in a field just outside Merced on Friday, Oct. 25, to observe a "founding ceremony" for the first UC campus to be built since the 1960s. UC Merced is also the first American research university established in the 21st century, and the first UC campus headed at its outset by a woman, Chancellor Carol Tomlinson-Keasey, whose official inaugural ceremony was combined with the founding event. A colorfully robed procession of dignitaries from academia, government, and community began the ceremony. Marchers included representatives of both the oldest university in the United States (Harvard, established in 1636) and the youngest (California State University, Channel Islands, established just last year. The campus site lies near the rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada, a few miles outside the city of Merced. Dirt roads, barbed-wire fences, a weathered gray barn, and a few tiny office trailers punctuate the almost treeless landscape. Though the expansive site is as yet undeveloped, it is planned to eventually accommodate a campus of 25,000 students. Orchards, feedlots, and scattered farmsteads and country homes lie nearby. Elation and invigoration Davis, who lavished praise on the 134-year-old UC system, emphasized the economic benefits that UC campuses bring to their surrounding regions and the nation, noting that half of the biotech research in the country is estimated to take place within 40 miles of a UC campus. He highlighted CITRIS, the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society — one of four UC science initiatives fostered by the governor — in which Berkeley, Davis, Santa Cruz and Merced campuses are collaborating. In her inaugural address, a clearly elated Tomlinson-Keasey recalled UC research initiatives, from 19th-century viticulture to 20th-century soil science, that have aided the San Joaquin Valley. She and several other speakers expressed strong hopes that the presence of UC Merced would invigorate not only the regional economy but help raise the historically low UC enrollment rates of children from California's agricultural heartland. While outlining the planned components of the future campus (including a division of engineering, a school of management, and research institutes focused on the Sierra Nevada and world cultures), Tomlinson-Keasey detailed some $30 million already pledged in private support for scholarships, buildings, and research and teaching programs. These gifts include 14 endowed faculty chairs, primarily funded by local donors, many of whom were present at the ceremony Civic leaders, Cal alums Several Berkeley alumni spoke at the event, including Tomlinson-Keasey herself (who received her Ph.D. here); former California state legislator John Garamendi, representing the UC Merced Founda-tion; the U.S. Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education Susan Neuman (who earned a teaching credential at Berkeley); and the academic keynote speaker of the day, Robert Laughlin, a Nobel Prize winner (physics, 1998) who grew up in Visalia, south of Merced. Chair of the Board of Regents John Moores recalled in his introductory remarks that Laughlin once described Berkeley, UC's oldest campus, as "the place ideas mattered, where everybody was eccentric, where originality was not only accepted but had actual market value." In his own remarks, sprinkled with reminiscences and poetry, Laughlin told the crowd that "the UC system did what it should; it changed my life." |

You've heard the saying "One man's junk is another's treasure"? Well, this Stockholm-based label was started back in 2007 when two best friends (Emily Blixt and Cilla Wingard Neuman) stumbled upon a musty old clog factory still filled with shoes. It was a gold mine of inspiration for their line of '70s-driven footwear. Five short years later, they have fashion followers the world over scrambling for a pair of their signature clogs. We loved this slip-on disco-era remake on sight. Not sure what your European shoe size is? Our size chart will help you out.

Pat Olney leaves Volvo Construction Equipment
Mr. Olney, aged 44, joined Volvo CE in 1996 and has held a number of top management positions in Finance, Operations and General Management before he became the President of Volvo CE in 1 May 2011.
"I have had a long and rewarding career with Volvo, and for that I will always be grateful. As such, this was not an easy decision. I have had the ambition to relocate at some point to North America and this opportunity was simply too good to pass up" says Pat Olney.
"Pat has done an excellent job during his career with Volvo I regret that he has decided to leave Volvo. At the same time I fully understand and respect his desire to move to North America for professional and personal reasons", says Olof Persson, President and CEO of the Volvo Group.
The search for a replacement to Pat has begun.

I've read the forums for a while, but finally registered. Just released my first Android game not too long ago and all that I'm currently a senior at Fresno State University in computer science, and Android is probably the most fun of the platforms I've developed for, so yeah. Hi! As for devices, I have an HTC Incredible 2, and a Nexus 7
Welcome to the forums Paul, glad to have you on the site Feel free to post your game here: App Announcements Thanks for joining
Welcome to the forums. Im glad you decided to sign up. Since your a dev i thought you might like to check this out. http://androidforums.com/application-development/ ANd here are the sub forums for your device incase you have any questions http://androidforums.com/nexus-7/
and if its the droid incredible 2 you have then here http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-incredible-2/
Thanks guys! Just posted in App Announcements. I also have one more app I'm working on, but it won't be released under my account. I'm currently a senior at Fresno State University, and for my senior project I decided to make an Android app for the zoo here. It's actually going a lot better than I expected since it's my first large solo project, my first Android app written using Java and all of the Android packages, and my first program for a professional business. I have screen shots if anyone's interested Here's the features I've added so far and have been learning from: WebViews - Best. Things. Ever. I had a map image for the zoo, but I was having a lot of trouble getting the gesture based zoom/move aspects to work, then I found out that I could just toss an image into an HTML document and save it as an asset, and it's all built in. Customized ListViews - Also great! Took some work to make the layouts work correctly with multiple lines of text and an image, but now that it does, it looks gorgeous. Themes - I actually went back and edited what I have now to use themes. At the start I just hard coded a lot of my styles into the XML layout files, but once I figured out how to work with themes it was great Locale/Language Settings - So easy to work with, it's ridiculous. Fresno has a large population that only speaks Spanish, so being able to just put all of my strings into an ES file or grab the device context and specifically set my text has been amazing ActionBarSherlock - Not an official part of the Android platform, but this third party library has been absolutely great for navigation on old and new devices. Other than that, just the fact that I can use a lot of Java packages in there has been great. I'm still figuring out a lot with it and fine tuning the app, but so far it's been really fun.
Good to hear, i know a lot of my friends in college choose to do Apps for their college projects as well. Nice suggestions there, i will certainly pass it on to my friends. Like Liamo said, if you have any questions feel free to ask

They walked a brief distance to see stones that had been restored, while seeing the monuments of several individuals, including Julia Tevis, founder of Science Hill School, and Josephus Wilson, one of the three landowners involved in the formation of the cemetery.
Cornerstone Christian Academy's prom was held in Eminence. The evening began with a red carpet entrance and ended with a surprise fireworks show. The junior class organized the event.
Donald and Margaret Redmon, of Cropper, have been married for 50 years. The couple was married May 15, 1964 in Shelbyville. She is the former Margaret Smith.
He is retired from Ford Motor Company and she is retired from Multi Purpose CAA.
They are the parents of Darren (Mitzi) Redmon of Southville, and Todd Redmon of Bagdad. They have six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
They celebrated with a family dinner.
The 2014 Shelby County Relay for Life is set for today and organizers say they hope the rain will hold off, though that's not likely with a 40 percent chance of showers, gusting winds and cooler temperatures.
The forecast is one reason that Sonia Roach, co-chair, said she does not expect too much decoration at the Relay, which is the American Cancer Society's signature fundraising event.

The rejections came in one-line orders without comment.
A narrow Supreme Court majority ruled in 2008 that residents in the District of Columbia had a Second Amendment right to keep a handgun in the home for self-defense. The decision struck down the district's ban on the possession of handguns.
In 2010, a narrow high court majority ruled that the Second Amendment right applied to people in the states. That decision struck down Chicago's handgun ban.
Since those decisions, the high court generally has avoided gun control issues.
One of the rejected cases brought by the NRA challenged a Texas law that bans those under 21 from getting a gun permit. The other NRA challenge was to a federal law that puts restrictions on selling handguns to those under 21.
In both cases, the lower court had upheld the laws.
NBC News pointed out Texas defended its law in the Supreme Court -- putting state Attorney General Greg Abbott in the uncomfortable position of opposing the NRA while running for governor.

Nah it's just monday.. I'd love to have some more sleep =_=. But instead I have to open my Illustrator and photoshop looking like this: =_____________=. Anyway XD, I thought you would choose a car theme <_< guess I'll just have to do with ONSEN then <3.
Have you ever seen a rat the size of a kitten? I'd rather you threw a red-eyed white bunny at me. I saw two at the pet shop the other day when I was shopping for a new leash for my dog. They were so cute!! =] I don't like walking alone, and I never listen to music while walking either. It's a sign of weakness for any kidnappers lurking in the shadows. Beware! =] My exams went well today. English was first, then 3 hours later was business. I went shopping in between. xDD
Boring =_=.... Feel so tired! Oh Congratz for winning the SOTW =3! Told you you'd win <_<. This time Pyro is going to win .____. Should've understood the theme better I guess O_O.
*throws a banana peel at your feet* xDD I think you should get yourself a dog. It's nice to go for a walk around your neighbourhood sometime. =]
So the giant ran away from the little girl. xDD What are you doing now that school's over? After my exams, I've decided to go on a shopping spree. =]]
Grah! I posted my response on my profile ;//; I feel stupid. But yea.....um I would say I'm still looking, preferably anything with an official anime picture when they're chillin in a hot spring.....but I'll be thinking about this one x3
Noooooo, I would never! Plz don't say that ;^; *huggles*
Sorry, I was just thinking about something so I just drifted from that u__u;;
Oh! Lulz, you ruuuuuuined it! I was going to ;^; *shnuggles*

Convective instability in inhomogeneous media : impulse response in the subcritical cylinder wake
Marais, C., Godoy-Diana, R., Barkley, Dwight and Wesfreid, J. E.. (2011) Convective instability in inhomogeneous media : impulse response in the subcritical cylinder wake. Physics of Fluids, Vol.23 (No.1). Article no. 014104. ISSN 10706631

We study experimentally the impulse response of a cylinder wake below the critical Reynolds number of the Benard-von Karman instability. In this subcritical regime, a localized inhomogeneous region of convective instability exists which causes initial perturbations to be transiently amplified. The aim of this work is to quantify the evolution resulting from this convective instability using two-dimensional particle image velocimetry in a hydrodynamic tunnel experiment. The velocity fields allow us to describe the evolution of wave packets in terms of two control parameters: the Reynolds number and the magnitude of the imposed perturbation. The temporal evolution of energy exhibits a transient algebraic growth at short times followed by an exponential decay. (c) 2011 American Institute of Physics. doi:10.1063/1.3531724]
