Basic But Not So Basic

{All pieces available at Satine Boutique}
Recently i've been drawn to busier pieces with striking prints & colors, but I can't deny that when I laid my hands on this black and white blazer my heart fluttered. The perfect leather lining + quilted arm patch on the blazer, and not to mention this impossibly perfect dress with billowy chiffon sleeves paired with delicate pleats! Black and white might be basic but there's nothing so basic about this outfit, don't you agree? The details on these two pieces are simply impeccable!
Cannot believe that in just 3 days I will be heading out to the motherland- Seoul, Korea! I've heard from a few people that its beyond freezing out there, and im quite sure I wont be able to pull off these california leg baring outfits without freezing my tush off! So this weekend i'll be shopping for some winter wonderland musthaves! Will be in search for a thick yet still chic parka/anorak + thick cable knitted sweaters + thermals + rain/snow boots!
HAPPY FRIDAY loves! I hope you have an impossibly lovely weekend!!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

190 MPH YouTube Video Puts Corvette Driver Behind Bars
A YouTube video showing Dee Albert Replogle driving 190 mph in his supercharged Corvette on Kilpatrick Turnpike in Oklahoma City served as all the evidence needed as Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers arrested the 30-year old on reckless driving charges. Troopers were able to trackdown Replogle who indicated that he was the owner and driver of the car as well as personally responsible for the YouTube account.
"I was extremely concerned with Mr. Replogle's reckless driving and thought the YouTube posts might encourage others to do the same thing in order to garner attention; and our roadways are absolutely no place for this type of dangerous driving behavior or stunts," said Colonel Van Guillotte, OHP Chief of Patrol.
Always watching Big Brother is. Something to consider before posting that legally-questionable but really cool car video…
[VIDEO] Auction Employee Gets Busted After Hooning Corvette ZR1
[VIDEO] Corvette Loses it on the Freeway
Way to go Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Arresting someone for driving too fast and videoing it.
In other news OKCPD arrest a 13 year old teen for carrying a permanent marker to school. I can't make this up folks.
In the meantime child molesters roam the streets. The sex crimes division of OKCPD is a complete joke
Lol, the user removed the video. xD
Same thing happened a few years ago when a guy videoed himself doing 200mph on the 202 in Scottsdale, AZ in a Lamborghini Murchielago and posted it on youtube. People never learn.
Definitely a dumb move by the guy who shot the video. However, here in Florida I've seen many instances where the police while in pursuit of an idiot puts many more lives in danger than the single idiot. How about let the fool go, don't endanger lives, and have the helicopter follow the person until they stop. It's been my experience that most people stop running if there is no one chasing them. How many stories do you see where a police officer hits someone and kills or injures them seriously while in a high speed pursuit– too many!!! Also, I've been pulled over for speeding on several occasions and it's been my experience that 90% of the time the cop is the d!*k, I've had a couple even attempt to provoke me. I think it's nieve to think that as a human that some cops have been working for years and can't afford a $60k to $120k Corvette or other sports car and they get some satisfaction out of messing with those that do.

Two Turkish parents have been in a Swedish prison for one-and-a-half months after their 14-year-old daughter filed a criminal complaint against them, claiming that they beat her and were attempting to force her into a marriage, the Sabah daily reported on Friday.
Fourteen-year-old Kardelen Durusoy filed the complaint on Aug. 15 and also asked for compensation of 195,000 Swedish krona (about TL 40,000) from her parents. The minor alleges that her parents were attempting to send her to Turkey to be married. The legal age of marriage in Turkey is 18 years of age, while it can be 17 with parental consent or 16 in special circumstances with court approval. Resul and Fatma Durusoy were detained and arrested on Aug. 16. The couple's other two children, a 3-year-old and an 11-year-old, are being looked after by their uncle, Rasim Durusoy, who also lives in Sweden. The parents claimed that Kardelen was drinking alcohol and associating with people who were leading her astray. The girl also allegedly had an affair with a 40-year-old man. Statements made by Durusoy family's two other children contradicted Kardalen's allegations.

Foreclosures are up and financial institutions are secretly going back to sub prime investments. The US participation rate is at a 35 year low and getting worse.

Clinique Different Lipstick - Raspberry Glace

Price: $$$
Package Quality: 3.8
Price: $$$
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Green
I really like this shade. It doesn't seem to be too dark, but it stays on well and looks good against my pale skin, which I usually have trouble with, using other shades. In conclusion, I like this shade. I think this is a good one to have!
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair, Warm
Hair: Brown, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I generally stay away from Clinique lipsticks (Peach pop being the exception). They just don't have the colors and the textures which can still turn me on..lol.
Then I read a list of colors which was published recently about lippies which make your teeth look whiter.. and then I bumped into this one and remembered it was #1 on the list.. I bought it for the giggles and lo and behold, my teeth did look ..err, brighter and yes, a bit whiter.
well.. I now have a great raspberry lippie to fall back on for white teeth..lol
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
very gorgeous bright pink berry shade. it has shimmer, but not too much (i hate really shimmery/frosty lipsticks) it also has a nice sheen and feels comfortable on the lips. it has good lasting power as well. nothing lasts on me like a matte, but this finish lasts just as long as a MAC glaze or lustre lipstick.
i was actually surprised that i like it. i got it in a free bonus, and usually the shades are crappy in them. the reason i wouldn't repurchase is b/c i rarely repurchase l/s i have so many!
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This is an excellent product if you want bright, rich pink lips. I'd describe the color as a toned-down hot-pink with flecks of glitter. That's not quite my style, and it's way too much for me to wear full-on on any occasion. But if you apply very, very lightly and pair it with subtle makeup it does make a pretty stain for more formal events. It doesn't last as long as other lipsticks, but comes in a lot of colors.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Oily, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I have the older packaging of this lipstick. I LOVE IT! I thought the color would be way to dark, but when i put it on, It wasn't dark at all, not dry, or sticky, and was very moisturizing. It also makes my teeth look whiter! There is a little bit of shimmer, but it's barely noticeable. Since it is a department store brand, i can understand that it would be roughly around 14$ (same as MAC) definitely worth every cent. :)
Age: 19-24
Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Other
Eyes: Brown
Got it from a gift pack when buying the classical 3 steps.
The color looks pretty, especially the shimmer, so nice I should say.
Sadly it just seem to be so dark on my lips.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Other, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Other
A very wearable,pinkish/red berry color with a hint of sheen. It is creamy and moisturizing just not a good color with my fair skin.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair, Warm
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Hazel
This is a very pretty lipstick. Just the right amount of sheen, not overly glittery. Makes my hazel eyes pop! Very soft and moisturizing, and lasts fairly long. I have seen people say it is too sheer, not sheer at all on me! Only complaint is the price. I probably won't repurchase being that I can find comparable drugstore lipsticks for less $$.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This looks pretty in the tube, a sort of shimmery berry pink but doesn't register much on my lips. It is too sheer, with no staying power. When applied, the frost really takes away from the very lovely color, and the lipstick lacks depth. After an hour, it is barely discernible. While I like the "taste" (or lack thereof) of Clinique lipsticks, the formulation is poor if you're looking for a lipstick that would make an impact. I dislike the perfume in the European formulation but their lipsticks are "real" lipsticks - rich in pigment, stay long and true on the lips.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I wore this on my wedding day 26 years ago, and it still works today. A nice color for any age. My favorite! Thanks Clinique for keeping it around!

Does hearing "How is your credit," make you cringe?
Have you been turned down for a loan? Are you paying high interest rates on your existing loans or credit cards? Is your FICO score too low? Have you experienced financial trouble? Well, you're not alone, and there is hope: It's not as difficult to challenge information on your credit report as you may think. You can either draft your disputes yourself, which is a worthwhile endeavor despite the requisite time and diligence, or you can hire a professional who knows the lay of the land when it comes to cleaning your credit.
Your Credit and debt consolidation. Which one comes first?
Credit repair is the process of eliminating problematic items from your credit reports. Many consumers confuse this with something termed "debt consolidation." A debt consolidation loan combines your outstanding debts into one loan that typically boasts a lower interest rate than what you are currently paying.
Applying for a debt consolidation loan before repairing your credit report is like applying for auto insurance after five speeding tickets, two accidents, and a DUI. It's far tougher to acquire a low interest consolidation loan with a rotten credit report than with a pristine one. For that reason, credit repair should come first.
What we do
Cleanyourcredit.org's goal is simple: help you get the best credit legally possible so that you can do the things you want to do. A person's credit file has grown increasingly important and will continue do so as more and more credit approvals and job opportunities rely on your credit file. Our program improves your credit by helping you remove the negative items that cause credit scores to go down. When negative information is removed it can help you reduce your interest rates, help you make the purchase you need, or even improve your chances in an interview or with a rental application.
Having the best credit possible is in everyone's best
interest. Our proven methods simply assert the rights
that have been given to you under federal and state law.
We act on your behalf as your credit expert. Credit
Repair can be a difficult task, but Cleanyourcredit.org
has the experience, knowledge, and methods to help you
improve your credit.

Protect yourself from not-so-nano puffs of cool air during your fall frolicking.
As summer heat starts to wane, outdoor adventures remain plentiful. On its own or under a shell, the Patagonia Women's Nano Puff Insulated Vest provides lightweight, compressible, and windproof insulation for your fall follies. The physical structure of PrimaLoft One insulation mimics the structure of feathers, trapping warm air as it leaves your body and creating a thermal barrier between surrounding cooler air and your body. Likewise, the warmth-to-weight ratio for PrimaLoft One is similar to down in that it offers substantive warmth without substantive weight. However, unlike down, PrimaLoft One only loses 4% of its insulating capacity when wet, which makes this vest an ideal choice when moisture may be factor.
Along the insulation spectrum of Patagonia's puffy vests, the Nano Puff flirts with the low end in terms of warmth. When worn alone, this vest keeps your core toasty during an early October football game or when you're cragging or simply walking between classes as leaves begin to fall. While the Deluge DWR treatment handles light drizzle, you should throw a shell over the Nano Puff vest when nasty storms and winds howl the entrance of cooler days. A zipper garage protects your chin from chafing, and the brick quilting pattern prevents the insulation from settling and creating cold zones on your body. The chest pocket doubles as a self-stuff sack so you can easy store the Puff in your tote bag or daypack.

Have questions about this product?
good quality, runs tight/fitted
- Familiarity:I returned this product before using it
- Fit:Runs small
- Size Bought: medium
The size is true to most patagonia items; sometimes they tend to run on the smaller side of the size they claim. I am a size 10 and ordered the medium, as most of my patagonia tops are a M; I would call it a snug 8 and I looked like I stuffed myself into this vest LOL. I only had a very thin shirt on unerneath it too. It was a great quality though and I loved the green! I'll probably just order it again in a large after the holidays or check out the outlet store in Montana.
After reading through the other reviews, I agree that its tight on the hips, just to zip it was a challange for me and it was also tight on my bust/shoulders (C cup)... While I LOVE patagonia, sometimes having curves means sizing up with them.
I love the nano vest! It is true to size. Not a generous cut. Slimming tho. I can't wait for the temperature to get cooler so I can wear it.
Look Forward to Using!

I wanted a vest that I could wear all the time and this vest is perfect. It doesn't get too warm when I'm around the house, but keeps me warm while I'm outside in the yard. Color looks like picture. Overall very satisfied!!! Love it!!
Love love it!
- Fit:True to size

perfect pairing with other sports wear for chilly weather! fits great looks good and serves the purpose! what more can you ask??
Love this vest
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
- Size Bought: x-small
I love wearing this vest underneath a shell when the temperature hovers in the 30's. It's super lightweight and form-fitting. I'm usually a size small on top, but ended up getting an XS after trying it on because I wanted a vest that was more form-fitting (and cute) to wear with a long-sleeve shirt underneath. If Iwanted to layer underneath with more, I would have gotten the small. I plan on using this in the spring and fall when hiking/going around town. I'm 5'5, 125ish, athletic build, 32D.
Impressed with the quality!

Just got this vest about a week ago and I've hardly taken it off! It is super duper light weight yet still adds extra needed warmth. It makes a great extra layer underneath my ski suit and winter coat without adding any bulk. Can't forget that it is also very stylish looking! I went with a size small and it was a little loose fitting but I decided to keep it because it fits perfectly over a flannel or midweight sweater without being too tight and the drawcord at the bottom can be tightened as needed. I also really like that it has a higher neck so when it is zipped all the way up no cold air can blow down your neck! Random final note - it shows a picture of the vest folded up into the stuff sack/pack with a carabiner but the carabiner is not included just FYI in case anyone thought it was part of the deal! :)

went skiing for the first time in Utah... and I was worried it wasn't going to keep my core warm.. it did the job! Plus, I love how it was fitted, light weight and very stylish. Plan on bring it on my trip to Patagonia in a month! I'm 34 D and I'm a small.
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

So light. Airy. Comfortable. For reference I'm 4'11" 123 lbs. Does not seem small at all. True to size.
Patagonia Nano Puff Vest
What size is she wearing? Thanks!
Wish it had a double zip :(
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:Runs small
I absolutely LOVE the golden amber color of this series. I was so excited to add this vest to my gear collection. But I was a little surprised at the fit of the hips on this vest; the XS fit perfectly everywhere, including my bust (I am 5'5", 118 pounds, and a 32D), but the hips were super duper snug...like if I wore jeans instead of spandex, I don't think I would have been able to zip this guy up. If there were a double zip, or a looser hip fit with a generous adjustable draw cord, this would have solved the problem. Instead, I had to reluctantly size up to a small, which fits my hips great, but is a bit loose everywhere else. Considering the price tag, I'm not sure if this will be a keeper or not...
Just for kicks, I tried on the sweater for size comparison in the small versus XS and I experienced the same hip sizing problem. At least they are consistent! I am just surprised since I have never encountered this problem with their sizing in the past :( Bummers...please add double zip!!
Great Vest!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
This vest fits true to size, is a tad longer so my 5'10" frame is covered in the back. The vest is very lightweight, easy to pack and provides just the right amount of warmth. I was never cold nor was I hot. Took it to Yellowstone where temps can swing wildly and I was perfectly comfortable. Nice pockets, great colors! Get it, you will love it!
Blazing fast shipping from Backcountry!
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
- Fit:True to size
I practically lived in my old (3 years?) nano puff vest, and have been waiting for more interesting colors to be available before purchasing another. I ordered the same size I had before (XS). I'm 5'5, 125 lbs, small busted. The new vest is about 2 inches longer than my old one, but since it goes farther down on the hips it should be a bit wider at the bottom. Other than that it fits well under my arms and around my bust.
Sweet Vest
- Familiarity:I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit:True to size
Bought this for my 71 year old mom. She is still quite active hiking the AT. She has worn it casually as well as on a few day hikes. He was impressed with how warm and lightweight it is.
Great Vest!
- Familiarity:I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit:True to size
My wife loves this vest. I think she is addicted to wearing it. I'm jealous of how much she loves it. Fits well, provides warmth and coziness without it being too much. Guys - get one for your lady! She'll thank you for it.
Comfy & Stylish
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
- Fit:True to size
This is such a nice vest! Best used for leisure wear, layering, snowshoeing/hiking on warmer days..etc.
It's an 'insulated' vest but it's a very light one. (Only 60g insulation)
I have the Blue Butterfly color-- which actually has a hint of purple to it (in certain lighting) I was expecting a more bright blue color, but the occasional purple that comes out is actually pretty nice. The interior is also a bright teal which I love!
The vest has two hand pockets, and one internal chest pocket. The arm holes have a little elasticity to them for a snug fit (but not too snug)
I'm about 5'3''- a little on the petite side and my usual size for shirts/jackets etc. is a size small- which I got in this vest and it's a perfect fit!
Light and Bright
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit:True to size
The vest is super light. When I put it on I was shocked at how light it was. The first thing I noticed was the bright red color I selected. So noticeable and attractive to the eye. Fits true to size, good light weight vest!
What's the difference between the nano puff and sweater vest?
The Down Sweater Vest is going to be slightly warmer than the Nano Vest here. Also the Nano Puff vest uses a synthetic insulation (Prima Loft) vs actual goose down in the Down Sweater Vest.
What is the center back length of a medium?
25 inches

Sometimes, when we're puttering around the garage, taking out the trash, or defending our nation against nebulous terrorist threats, we wish there was a clear voice in the cacophony to give us strong advice on underserved topics, like "If you falsely accuse a lover of rape, your husband had better not kill him!" or "Is there a constitutional right to an orgy?"
(All kidding aside, we love this shirt; not just anyone will go pastel with their logo)
Or maybe that person could tell us "Why Athletes Go Broke" and then go on Fox News and get mentioned by the FREAKONOMICS blog unironically. Thankfully, the Internet (of all places) has given the clarion call of Mr. Cuban a home.
What? No, not Mark Cuban… his brother, Brian. Close enough, though, right?
Brian, who just happens to work for Mark as chief of some of his charitable efforts, enjoys taking in Mavericks games, long walks on the beach, and venting his spleen in digital format. We know the feeling.
Until last weekend, though, when his "Why Athletes Go Broke" piece seemed to strike a nerve and get him on television (in HD, we imagine) and posted at the NYTIMES Web site, his articles on "I DON'T GIVE A ****" and "GENETICALLY ENGINEERING YOUR CHILD BECAUSE YOUR BACK HURTS" had gone comically underappreciated.
So, as one blogger to another, our apologies, Mr. Cuban's brother. We will monitor your site for updates on the coming "Cuban revolution". For our assistance, however, would you please mark the downfall of Western civilization with a "Bay of Pigs" post? We don't want it to be lost on us due to subtlety. Thanks!

For sale: Wedding ring - barely used.
For Sale. by DessertsAreStressedWatch

I don't know. The idea popped in my head... Enjoy.
EDIT: Yes, it was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's baby shoes story.
EDIT: Yes, it was inspired by Ernest Hemingway's baby shoes story.
I think you should actually credit the Hemingway baby shoes story in your artist's description. Your piece, while good, is so similar it's plagiarism without that inspiration being really clear straight from the start. I also think licensing it under copyright is a bit of a stretch. Why not a creative commons license that allows derivative works? That's essentially what you've done.
Okay, I'll make sure to. About the creative commons thing, I haven't used that and I'm not sure how to. I'll make sure to search it up with my good friend Google. Thanks!
Reminds me of Hemingway. Well done.
Reminds me of "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn"

Automatic Crossbows
aka: Repeating Crossbow
Automatic Crossbows are crossbows that allow the user to shoot several times before having to reload, just like modern guns do.note Many works of fiction are set in a time period when firearms are not available, and crossbows are the nearest equivalent. This is especially true in the fantasy genre, where Fantasy Gun Control is the default. However, crossbows tend to take a long time to reload, which can be frustrating for people used to the rapid action of modern gunfights. And to those who are used to modern sporting crossbows, which are much faster to reload but also much shorter-ranged and less powerful than the typical medieval version. Sometimes in a work the urge to use some Guns and Gunplay Tropes is just too powerful. So the obvious solution to this dilemma is to give crossbows the ability to shoot an entire magazine of ammunition without having to reload. Not only do they add instant awesome, but they allow having More Dakka. In real life, it is much more difficult to create such a weapon than many works assume. Automatic firearms work by using excess energy from the detonation of the propellant to reload and recock the weapon. In a bow powered by elasticity, there is no such simple source of excess energy. This is no fun, as you still want said automatic weapon. There are several ways this might be accomplished. The most realistic options use various types of hand-powered mechanical device to produce repeating bows that are similar to Real Life historical examples but dialed up to eleven. Others might use Schizo Tech or magic to accomplish this purposes. If it is the latter, the use of magically justified Bottomless Magazines might make the Automatic Crossbow even more powerful. Compare with Multishot when one gets similar results with a regular bow.

Anime & Manga
- The Knight Gundam/Lacroa version of Gundam Heavyarms wields a bizarre weapons that's a combination of his traditional Gat' & a crossbow.
- In Berserk, Guts's primary ranged weapon is a wrist-mounted repeating crossbow operated by turning a crank, which he primarily uses against humans. His other ranged weapon is a steampunk gunpowder cannon built into the replacement for his left arm, which he uses to turn the tide against demons. Later in the series, Rickert invents a machinegun-sized repeating crossbow to protect his refugee group against monsters.
- Pajiramon of Digimon Tamers. When one arrow is fired, the next immediately slides into place. It's only seen to hold three, but anytime it's offscreen for an instant, it's fully reloaded when we see it again.
- In Fist of the North Star the apocalypse seems to have wiped out all the bullets but few of the guns, so the guns have naturally been retooled to shoot pointed sticks.
- A character in Afro Samurai has one of these. It also comes with an underslung grenade launcher. And the arrows are poisoned.
- A character in Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust fires quarrels at a rate of roughly seven billion per second out of a hand-loaded crossbow. No explanation is offered as to how, although it looks like he's pulling a Detritus-loading a bundle of them and letting them diffuse mid-flight.
- Most of that family were not normal humans. In the book, they're even worse, especially what they do with their sister.
- Favaro's crossbow in Rage of Bahamut: Genesis has multiple arrows loaded in it.
Comic Books
- In one issue of The Mask, The Mask pulled out a repeating crossbow with an ammo belt like a machine gun.
- In Cerebus the Aardvark, The Roach (in his Punisherroach identity) wields two "pearl handled semi-automatic" belt-fed crossbows that shoot explosive-tipped bolts and have a firing rate similar to a machine gun.
- In Scare Tactics, members of the vampire hunting Graveyard Shift tote multi-shot, stake firing crossbows.
- Amy in Sonic the Comic has one of these as her main weapon that she built herself.
Film - Animated
- Shrek 2 features crossbows which can be loaded with multiple arrows and fired one by one in a manner similar to a revolver and held like a Tommy Gun. Probably done partly because of Rule of Cool and mostly because the shooting would be very slow and less dramatic if they had to keep stopping to reload. They prove wildly inaccurate.
- In the original Heavy Metal movie, the land where the Tarna segment was set did have guns. But automatic bolt-shooters were in exclusive use by those mounted on giant featherless birds. Well, giant featherless birds that also didn't exist in the medieval age.
- In 9, 5's weapon of choice is a crossbow made of a clock key and a spring. He used it to crack the Seamstresses eye, which was a Crowning Moment of Awesome for a previously timid character.
Film - Live Action
- Ranulf's handy piece of villain-slaying hardware in 1980's camp sword and sorcery classic, Hawk the Slayer.
- Van Helsing gives its hero a steam powered, gatling gun crossbow.
- Captain Navarre (played by Rutger Hauer) in the movie Ladyhawke has a double crossbow as one of his two signature weapons.
- In DEBS Amy keeps a crossbow with a large magazine in her room.
- In Gladiator, when Maximus and his fellow gladiators are fighting the re-enactment of the Battle of Zama, one of the enemy fighters is shown using a repeating crossbow.
- An historically accurate model is seen in use by Sun Quan's army in Red Cliff.
- Daybreakers. Pump-action crossbows (with flick-out bow section) are used by the humans against the vampire military.
- The vampire soldiers use three-stringed crossbows in Underworld Rise Of The Lycans. Sensible, since the Lycans typically show up in numbers and might be able to shrug off a single bolt.
- Gretel from Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters carries an over-and-under version of this, which uses its own recoil to cock itself. It can also rotate to shoot bolts in opposite directions.
- In Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Chewbacca fires his bowcaster twice in a second without reloading at a fleeing scout trooper. EU materials such as The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology explain that Chewie's in particular has been modified with an automatic re-cocking system, rendering it semiautomatic.
- In Sin City: A Dame to Kill for, Nancy uses one in the "Nancy's Last Dance" story when she and Marv attack Senator Roark's home.
- In the movie adaptation of The Two Towers, Uruk-hai marksmen use quick-reloading, lever-action crossbows during the siege of Helm's Deep. It's a detail that doesn't really come up in the film itself, but the design team at Weta Workshop included it because it's cool and establishes the advanced technology used by Saruman's forces.
- Discworld novels use this quite a bit. The Truth and The Fifth Elephant even feature a small spring-powered crossbow that's been so heavily modified that it's a gun in everything but the most technical sense. There's also Sergeant Detritus's "Piecemaker," a giant siege weapon that fires six foot long arrows, which he converted into biggest handheld weapon on the Disc. Although both are described, most emphatically, as being slow to reload.
- The issue with the Piecemaker is that it doesn't need to be fired more than once. Or even ever. In its latest incarnation/modification it's practically the equivalent of waving a rocket-launcher in somebody's face, in proportion to the technology level of the Disc.
- The Piecemaker is exemplary of Vimes' philosophy on weapon use, as no one would dare antagonise Detritus while he has the thing ready to go (not that many would want to anyway, him being a troll). Vimes even mentions that he got holed-up criminals to surrender on multiple occasions simply by ordering one of the other Watch members to fetch Detritus. Thus far, it's only been used to destroy non-living targets, like buildings. But it's not strictly automatic, less because of reload time than that it uses all of its ammo in one shot.
- The Piecemaker has actually been fired, it applies so much force that the arrows instantly shatter. The target is then hit with a spray of fast moving wood and metal chips of what used to be arrows. It has the same effect as a shotgun, dialed up to 11. Often being used to vaporize pesky obstacles that block their path.
- Automatic or multi-shot crossbows are alluded in at least Men at Arms and The Last Continent. The Last Continent even used a crossbow to parody Army of Darkness' famous This Is My Boomstick scene.
- Crossbows in Night Watch carry a magazine of several bolts, but the string still has to be pulled back.
- Lampshaded a bit in the end of Guards! Guards!!. The protagonists storm the palace to catch the villain, and when the gate is locked, Captain Vimes, drunk on authority and briefly forgetting he's only acting like Dirty Harry, orders Sergeant Colon to "shoot it open!" Colon is not sure how he's supposed to accomplish that with a bow and arrow.
- In Going Postal, Moist, on several occasions, finds himself staring down the barrel of Miss Dearheart's... automatic crossbow, taking the place of the shotgun that a shopkeeper would normally have.
- The issue with the Piecemaker is that it doesn't need to be fired more than once. Or even ever. In its latest incarnation/modification it's practically the equivalent of waving a rocket-launcher in somebody's face, in proportion to the technology level of the Disc.
- David Gemmell's anti-heroic assassin Waylander the Slayer used a weapon normally referred to as a "double crossbow" — effectively two small crossbows stuck one on top of the other, allowing two shots without reloading. The second shot often takes people by surprise, which is handy because he's a mediocre swordsman.
- In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang is credited with inventing these, although they aren't used until after his death because of problems of implementation.
- The introduction of this type of crossbow gives Mat a serious advantage in The Wheel of Time series. They are used realistically, noting how they lack the range, accuracy, and power of longbows and traditional crossbows, but make up for it through sheer numbers. It also points out that anyone can use them with minimal training, making them ideal for irregular forces.
Tabletop Games
- Dark Elves in Warhammer use repeating crossbows as their standard ranged weapon. On top of that, both they and the High Elves have repeating Bolt Throwers (ballistas) as their primary war machines.
- Dungeons & Dragons
- The repeating crossbow, which can fire 5 bolts before needing a reload. The next shot is readied by pulling a lever.
- A spoof article in Dragon, "Gangsters of the Underdark", featured an automatic crossbow powered by a handcrank, known as the Torque-Operated Mauling Machine, or T.O.M.M.Y.
- These are commonly used by the Haslanti League and the Mountain Folk in the tabletop RPG Exalted. The Mountain Folk have a version that can fire crystalline bolts with such speed that it's basically an assault rifle. For bonus points, it can fire flechette rounds.
- GURPS Martial Arts has a repeating crossbow that gets ten shots before reloading, but doesn't fire any faster than a normal crossbow.
- The Dungeon Fantasy setting has a spring-loaded artifact that works almost exactly like an SMG.
- Discworld Roleplaying Game also has a repeating crossbow that is unreliable but still popular in the Brown Islands, mostly for the impressive noise it makes when a bolt is loaded.
- Munchkin Fu has a repeating crossbow. Called—what else would Munchkin call it—the Repeating Crossbow Crossbow Crossbow.
Video Games
- The Bowguns in the Monster Hunter series are functionally guns except that they have a self-drawing bow mechanism (the actual 'Bow' weapon type has to be drawn in a separate action before firing) and firing rate that is affected by ammo type.
- Edgar's Auto Crossbow tool in Final Fantasy VI. It's available less than an hour into the game, and remains useful for a long time.
- Warframe has the Attica, a Tenno made crossbow that fires high-damage bolts at decent rate. A later patch doubles its firing rate and allows it to equip the Thunderbolt mod, essentially turning it into a fast-firing automatic rocket launcher.
- In the Dragon Age universe, there currently exists exactly one repeating crossbow—namely, Varric's Bianca, first seen in Dragon Age II. It is unique because it is actually a product of two genius engineers who worked on it at different times, and because Varric had to kill one of them later, while publicly giving him full credit for its creation to protect the other one's (his Old Flame after whom the crossbow is named) identity from the underworld powers that really want to obtain the secret of its manufacture.
- The PC RPG Albion tells the story of an Earth astronaut who crash lands on an alien planet that's part alien jungle and part fantasy land. The local civilization hasn't developed guns, but later in the game repeating Automatic Crossbows (referred to as bolt guns) become available as weapons.
- Interestingly, the official lightgun attachment for the Nintendo Wii, known as the Wii Zapper, comes with Link's Crossbow Training. It remains to be seen whether the next Zelda game will feature one of these. Link's Crossbow never needs to be reloaded, and can be powered up with 100 bolts of automatic rapid-fire.
- Kai's primary weapon from Heavenly Sword is a repeating crossbow that shoots bolts whose flight path the player can control.
- Dwarf Fortress used to have bows and crossbows that fired absurdly fast; a dwarf who really leveled up the relevant skill could fire off seven or eight bolts before the first one hit. This was extremely Cool, but Inefficient, as ranged weapons were also somewhat overpowered at the time and the odds were good that the first arrow or bolt had scored a One-Hit Kill, so the remainder were wasted. The problem has since been fixed by not allowing units to loose a second shot until the first has landed.
- All that being said however, actual rates of fire are slightly difficult to determine, as Dwarf Fortress is a rather extreme example of Video Game Time.
- Fable II features repeating crossbows, which fire much faster than a normal crossbow, but are inferior in terms of speed to pistols, and in terms of power to rifles. And nothing beats a good clockwork or turret rifle.
- In the Kingdom Hearts series, the character Xigbar dual wields an Energy Bow variant of the concept: Arrowguns, crossbows that shoot magical spatial darts and can combine to form a sniper rifle, the Arrowguns from Birth By Sleep are even shaped like crossbows.
- In Kingdom of Loathing, most of the 1-handed Crossbows describe themselves as automatic. All the other crossbows are typically two-handed. It also has a Gatling Good version called the Repeating Crossbow, which is advertised as "Firing up to ONE ROUND PER SECOND! Devastating!"
- Trying to be funny, or referencing the RL slow fire rate? Yes.
- In Half-Life, the player can use a five-round crossbow that fires almost as quickly as a shotgun. Swapping out the crossbow's magazine is painfully slow, unfortunately.
- The crossbow in Half-Life 2 is no longer automatic, and you can only carry twelve shots, but becomes the most damaging non-explosive weapon in the game. While it's no longer magazine-fed, it still has some automatic parts, allowing it to rearm itself while the user reaches for a new projectile.
- Sven Co-op remedies this by making the fire rate longer between each shot
- Badrach and Janus from Valkyrie Profile both use "crossbows" that seem to have more in common with guns from Contra than actual medieval weaponry. Badrach's in particularly is clearly a gun based on the game's art. It's likely they just gave him the crossbow weapon set so they wouldn't have to make entirely new equipment for just one character.
- Fairy queen Mercedes from Odin Sphere wields a magic crossbow called Tasla (later reforged into Riblam). Being a magical weapon it rapid-fires bolts of flaming energy rather than arrows and can charge up and release a powerful homing spread shot. Despite this, she still needs to reload it when she runs out of energy (the point where other characters would run out of breath) although she can absorb phozons instead to recharge it.
- Coincidentally there's another Queen Mercedes (this one an elf) in MapleStory, who dual-wields a pair of 'bowguns', which can be best described as this trope with a dash of Gatling Good. In her case, she never has to reload because her arrows are made of magic. Given her rate of fire, conventional ammunition would probably be impossible to reload quick enough unless it was belt-fed.
- The Crossbow in Medievil actually has rapid fire listed as one of its abilities by its original owner. Justified since every weapon you get in the Hall of Heroes is at least somewhat magical in nature.
- Civilization IV has the Chinese Cho-Ku-Nu specialty unit. While not stronger then a normal crossbow, it has the added advantage of causing collateral damage to a stack of units.
- They return in V. Here, the Cho-Ku-Nu is actually weaker than the normal crossbow, but can fire two times per turn.
- In Age of Empires II, the Chinese use Chu-Ko-Nus as their special unit. Despite having shorter range, it could fire several bolts at once.
- Age of Empires III has them too. Again, they're weaker than European crossbows, but they fire three times in rapid succession, they're cheap, and when you build them, you also get melee units to protect them. Even a small group of Chu-Ko-Nus is more than capable of More Dakka, spraying the enemy with a constant hail of Annoying Arrows.
- Deus Ex has miniature automatic crossbows that are loaded with box-shaped magazines of darts, and strapped to the back of the wrist.
- The Orc monsters in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness have these.
- Dungeon Fighter Online features the Gunner class, who can use this type of weapon. Like all the other gun types, he holds one in each hand.
- The Princess from the "Princess 30" game in Half-Minute Hero inherits a crossbow from her dying father (the King), and it can shoot hundreds of arrows per second.
- In Dungeon Siege: Throne of Agony, crossbows are all automatic, and only slightly slower than regular bows. They are apparently fired by yarding on a firing crank.
- In Strife, the crossbow automatically loads the next shot. Despite this, the fire rate isn't faster than other FPS crossbows.
- Perfect Dark has a crossbow with five bolts and a fairly fast rate of fire. The reload animation did take a while, but luckily it could be interrupted in a pinch, which left you with fewer bolts but allowed you to keep firing. It also doubled as a tranquilizer gun, and it has a useful instant kill function.
- Hype The Time Quest has some quick crossbows, one of which actually could rapid fire three arrows!
- The Ethereal Crossbow from Heretic fires faster than a round per second. With a Tome of Power active, it fires even faster. Justified in that it's magical.
- Similarly, the Assassin class in Hexen II has a magical crossbow that gets its ammo from the player's blue mana pool.
- Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath has the main character use an arm-mounted double-barrel crossbow that fire bees like machine-gun as well as various other critters.
- In Rappelz the only class to use a crossbow as its primary weapon, the Shadow Hunter, can reach attack speeds high enough to fire an arrow or, with proper buffs, two every second.
- The Sniper Crossbow in Will Rock can shot up to 6 Arrows on Fire in a row. The fire rate however is slightly slower than the usual Automatic Crossbow.
- Maybe with a little nod tuned Up to Eleven to the Chinese chu-ko-nu in the Real Life section below, Dynasty Warriors 7 players have access to highly-accurate ballistas in some missions. Its gatling goodness and never-miss accuracy make for some easy army leveling.
- In the same game Lianshi has a normal crossbow as her signature weapon. It functions more like a shotgun than a machine gun, though she never really has to worry about reloading it.
- The eighth game takes this to a ludicrous extent with the Downloadable Content "Revolving Crossbow", which is basically a portable gatling cannon that fires arrows.
- Similarly, the third Samurai Warriors games introduces Motonari Mori, who uses a wrist-mounted version of this that he can even stab people with.
- Considering the above examples, it is notable that Bladestorm The Hundred Years War - also by KOEI - completely AVERTS this. Crossbow-units have to reload after each shot, taking several seconds - and Heavy Crossbows take even longer since they have to use a hand-crank to do so. Of course, this makes them rather less than practical to actually USE, especially if you don't have some allied units around to run interference while you're busy reloading...
- A rapid-fire crossbow in one of Vaan's (many) BRV attacks in Duodecim 012.
- Resident Evil 2 features a bowgun which can fire in three-round bursts, and can hold 18 arrows at a time. Code: Veronica features a bowgun that can hold every arrow in your inventory at once, and fires one (homing!) bolt at a time semi-auto. Later games feature very powerful crossbows (usually with explosive bolts), usually in Ada Wong's hands, but those require a full nock-and-cock reload per bolt.
- In Dragon Nest, the Archer's crossbow acts for all intents and purposes like a three-round burst submachine gun.
- Minecraft, for most of the pre-release period, took this even further by having a fully-automatic longbow. If you had enough arrows stored up, you could just point at a horde of enemies, hold down the right mouse button, and mow them down like you're wielding an assault rifle. And as an added bonus, missed shots didn't waste arrows because they could (and still can) be gathered up and reused later. Beta 1.8 finally retooled the bow to behave more like a traditional video game longbow (i.e. hold the button in to pull back slowly, release to... well, release; damage and accuracy increases based on how far back the bowstring was drawn) but also do more damage if used properly.
- Dragon Saga implements this trope in an odd way. The crossbows of the Ranger classes fire slower than the huge bows used by their Hunter counterparts but deal more damage. They have the same firing rate in shared skills but discard the crossbow in their class-specific skills and switch to a ridiculous array of firearms and explosives.
- In Diablo III, the Demon Hunter class can Dual Wield single shot hand crossbows like a pair of semi-auto pistols without ever apparently reloading. The Rapid Fire skill lets them fire like fully automatic machine guns.
- Dungeon Defenders has several examples, most of which can be upgraded to fire even faster.
- Orcs Must Die has a magical crossbow which can fire indefinitely, and is capable of automatic fire with the use of macros.
- In League of Legends Twitch has an extremely high base attack speed, and usually gets items to increase it, so that he fires crossbow bolts at a rate greater than one a second.
- Lu in Suikoden V has an Auto Crossbow styled vaguely like a Tommy Gun, which is actually four crossbows in one.
- In Dishonored, you can purchase a fast reloading device, which takes only a fraction of a second to reload your crossbow. (However, even without this device, it still takes only about a second and a half to reload it; and you can reload one-handed.)
- In Dawn of War II: Retribution's Imperial Guard campaign, one possible upgrade for Inquisitor Adrastia is a hand crossbow that can fire explosive-tipped, armor-piercing quarrels either singly or in spreads.
- Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage gives Mamiya (and later Bat and Lin) automatic crossbows as weapons. All three of them can deal a barrage of rapid-fire shots as part of their moveset, but given the setting, these are downgraded to Annoying Arrows individually—it usually takes the better part of its bolt magazine to kill a squad of generic Mooks that a dedicated fighter like Kenshiro or Rei could annihilate without a second thought, but these crossbows carry around 50 shots and can be reload in roughly two seconds. They also become much more lethal when used in Signature Moves.
- PlanetSide 2 features the "Hunter" quad-armed crossbow. It can silently fire up to 4 bolts (or 3 explosive bolts) from an internal magazine, though it must be pumped (like a shotgun) after each shot to cycle in a new bolt from the magazine. The crossbow is reloaded via break-action. It's particularly useful for an Infiltrator with the Stalker cloaking device, as the Hunter is one of the most powerful secondary weapons and makes almost no noise.
- The Avelyn in Dark Souls fires three crossbow bolts in rapid succession, and is reloaded all at once. Unlike many other depictions of automatic crossbows, the Avelyn has three separate bowstrings instead of a single string with a magazine of bolts, but how exactly it is loaded is unclear.
- Joe Dever's Lone Wolf Leandra's crossbow. It's also her invention.
- Invoked with the Helsing in Metro 2033 and the sequel, a 6-shot pneumatic rifle that fires crossbow bolts at lethal speed, which is reloaded like a revolver, and pumped-up to pressure by hand. Killing a mutant with it grants the "Van Helsing" achievement.
- Terraria has repeating crossbows that are crafted from Cobalt, Palladium, Mythril, Orichalcum, Adamantite, Titanium and Hallowed metal that fire automatically compared to previous bows that had to be fired with each click of the mouse. When you get access to Chlorophyte, you can craft a Chlorophyte Shotbow that fires three arrows for the cost of one (or zero if you have a chance not to consume ammo). There's also a Halloween themed Stake Launcher that fires wooden stakes automatically like the repeaters and, as expected, it's a One-Hit Kill against vampires in the Solar Eclipse event.
- In Nosgoth the Hunter -class is equipped with these, several variants actually - repeaters (the straightest example of the trope), multi-bow that shoots in three arrow bursts, slower but powerful siege bows... Each have a magazine from 16 to 36 arrows.
- Nuclear Throne Has an automatic crossbow, as well as splinterers, which are basically shotgun-crossbows. Taken up to eleven with the Heavy auto-crossbow, which rapid-fires bolts capable of taking down walking tanks in one hit.
- A modern automatic crossbow that feeds from a large drum magazine is Ajay Ghale's go-to stealth Weapon of Choice in Far Cry 4, although the standard bow from the last game is still available as well, it really comes down to player preference.
- In Dragon's Crown, the common Crossbow weapon your characters could pick has a firing rate as fast as the player's trigger finger. There's also the semi-rare Cranequin crossbow, which has a slightly slower rate of fire, but comes with a Spread Shot.
- In Goblins, the pitiless Dwarf paladin Kore is equipped with ferocious multi-strung pistol crossbows each capable of firing eight bolts before needing to be reloaded.
- Drowtales features several instances of automatic, semi-automatic, wrist mounted and sniper-scoped crossbow weapons. Some are entirely mechanical, others may have magical cores to help the motions. Generally speaking, the Drow in the setting are both adept at magitek-anything and are excellent craftsmen.
Western Animation
- On The Secret Saturdays, Tsun 'Kalu wields a crossbow that fires three bolts at once.
Real Life
- Romance of the Three Kingdoms (the novel) attributes the original creation of an automatic crossbow to Zhuge Liang, circa 200 AD. While this is not exactly historical fact, the existence of the weapon in that time frame is confirmed. While certainly weaker and less accurate than a typical bow, it was much quicker and used effectively in mass combat against lightly armored foes. Also in his fantasy short story "Dragon's Teeth," in the mid-fourth century AD.
- An artillery version was developed by the Roman Empire (the cheiroballistra), while some Roman auxiliaries carried bullet-firing crossbows. However, the repeating variants were much weaker than the regular crossbows and it was necessary to tip the bolts with poison to make them more lethal.
- However, a body recovered from the site of a Roman siege in south-western England showed that a bolt-head typical of a Roman repeating crossbow had enough force to go right through a human body from the front and lodge in the luckless target's spine, with the point penetrating out of his back. Ref. Adam Hart-Davis, below.
- Those make a showing in David Drake's Ranks of Bronze, used by the defenders during a siege since they had the height advantage on their walls.
- The MythBusters actually made one. It tended to jam often, but it worked.
- A large problem with the jamming turned out to be just how it was fired. With the right cranking technique it worked fairly well.
- Adam Hart-Davies, eccentric presenter of the 2000 British history reconstruction show What The Romans Did For Us?, reconstructed a Roman automatic crossbow design. It fired repeatedly, quickly, penetrated an impressive assortment of materials, and didn't jam or fail once.
- This crossbow was one of the weapons improved upon on the Military Channel show Weapon Masters. Chad made a pneumatic steel-framed crossbow that was deadly accurate and powerful at all ranges tested, and could quickly reload itself in seconds from a top-mounted magazine.
- When Scrapheap Challenge did an episode on repeater bows, they showed a full-size but down-powered model of an original Chinese design dating to 200 AD. It essentially had an ammo hopper on top which was gravity-fed, and a wheel on the side which pulled the string back once with each rotation. It could fire pretty much as fast as you could turn the wheel, getting through maybe 40 shots per minute.
- Historic repeating crossbows all had the same problem, they lacked the range and penetrating power of their slower firing brethren. Great for volume of fire, less then spectacular when it comes to precision marksmanship, long range target shooting, and armor penetration. Which is why the bolts were often poisoned.
- But they were still powerful enough for a corpse, dating from the Roman siege of a Celtic fort in England, to have a crossbow bolt protruding through his spine. Which had penetrated through his stomach.
- Historic repeating crossbows all had the same problem, they lacked the range and penetrating power of their slower firing brethren. Great for volume of fire, less then spectacular when it comes to precision marksmanship, long range target shooting, and armor penetration. Which is why the bolts were often poisoned.
- The Polybolos described by Philo of Byzantium (but more often attributed originally to Dionysius of Alexandria) also counts.
- Wikipedia article on Repeating crossbows
- This particular weapon was demonstrated in real life on Deadliest Warrior, during the show pitting Sun-Tzu against Vlad the Impaler. It worked better than they expected.
- This guy made an auto-electric crossbow
- While this guy built a Gatling slingshot crossbow!
- A few other folks on Youtube have made pump-action repeating crossbows.
- The same guy in the first example above also built an auto crossbow capable of one-handed shooting.

Kaliyo Djannis
this wiki
- "I'm disappointed with you, Kaliyo. You were never a believer, but siding with the Empire?"
"I didn't want to pick a side."
- ―Kaliyo Djannis and the Wheezer, before Kaliyo kills him
Kaliyo Djannis was a female Rattataki who lived during the Cold War. She was an anarchistic freelance criminal in the Revolutionary Edge Brigade, and according to her CorSec criminal report, she was known to associate with three individuals named Anspi'shel, Nohn Veyaiko, and The Wheezer.
Kaliyo was born on Rattatak but grew disenchanted with the "backward ways" of her people and escaped her homeworld at a young age. She proceeded to find employment as a freelance enforcer and assassin for major criminal syndicates (Exchange, Hutt Cartel) and individual underworld figures (Rholl). She also had persistent links to Brentaal Four anarchist cells (see Revolutionary Edge Brigade) though she maintained minimal activity within Imperial borders.[1]
Cold WarEdit
At one time, Kaliyo was once in a relationship with Doctor Archiban Kimble, nicknamed "Doc".[3]
One of Kaliyo's acquaintances went grave robbing on the Sith homeworld of Korriban. He was lucky to have only lost his tongue to the Sith. Korriban, Kaliyo believed, wasn't "my kind of place."
In the Curovao Bombing, Kaliyo went under the alias of Lisha Tetch,[2] according to Watcher X.
Kaliyo was under the employ of Suudaa Nem'ro during the Cold War, at the same time the Sith Empire dispatched an undercover operative, under the alias of the known pirate, the Red Blade, to secure an alliance with Nem'ro. After the mysterious murder of Nem'ro's lieutenant, Karrels Javis, Kaliyo confronted the agent. The agent introduced her to the Keeper of Imperial Intelligence, who offered to hire her services, which she accepted, though she refused to be called a "servant" of the Empire.
Later on, when Nem'ro became ill, Kaliyo was sent to collect a cure for the Hutt cooked up by her ex-boyfriend, Doc, on a Defender-class light corvette. There, she met the Hero of Tython, a Jedi Knight who would one day destroy the Sith Emperor. While waiting for the cure, she told the Jedi that she thought that Doc was a "worm" and she was "usually worshiped by men beneath her." She wanted to know if there was anything worth eating on this "rust bucket." After the cure was done, she stepped off the ship to take it to Nem'ro, leaving Doc without someone to "help us celebrate."[3]
Kaliyo continued to be an associate of Cipher Nine. Cipher Nine aided her in rescuing one of her old partners, Anspi'shel, from the Exchange though Kaliyo held a grudge against her and may have followed up by selling her out to a local bounty hunter in Nar Shaddaa.
Kaliyo managed to persuade Imperial Intelligence to target her ex-partners. Cipher Nine also aided her in dealing with some of her ex-partners who were seeking her out. These partners include Rholl, Yjal, Ta Tigal, and a bounty hunter called "The Menace."
Doctor Eckard Lokin discovered that Kaliyo has been in contact with the Revolutionary Edge Brigade which is in violation of a number of Imperial regulations. Kaliyo claims that The Wheezer needed her help and that her discretion was in a way meant to keep Cipher Nine out of trouble. Kaliyo claims she only wanted to help an old friend and meant no harm to the agent. To assuage Cipher Nine's concerns, she invites Cipher Nine to come with her to a scheduled meeting with the Revolutionary Edge Brigade. When they arrived, the Wheezer reveals that Kaliyo had been selling the Revolutionary Edge Brigade Imperial secrets; though she claims she never revealed anything about Cipher Nine's missions. When the Wheezer revealed his intention to harvest Cipher Nine's organs in order to bypass Imperial security, Kaliyo was forced to pick a side and helped Cipher Nine fight the Revolutionary Edge Brigade. After Kaliyo finished off the Wheezer, Cipher Nine agreed to keep Kaliyo as an asset but warned her that her selling Imperial secrets couldn't continue.
Second Great Galactic WarEdit
As war reignited between the Republic and Empire, Nine's team was tasked to discover a mysterious third party that destroyed the Shadow Arsenal. Their search took them to Belsavis and Voss, and learned that the organization was called the Star Cabal. Unfortunately, the conspiracy became aware of Nine's attempts to expose them and used their influence to dissolve Imperial Intelligence. Nine's team was drafted into Lord Razer's unit, but Kaliyo arrested due to her criminal record. Despite Nine's pleads on her behalf, Razer would not yield. As Kaliyo screamed promises of revenge, Nine told her to wait for an opportunity.
Sometime later, as the battle for Corellia raged, the Minister of Intelligence, formerly Keeper, secretly sprung Kaliyo from custody as he gathered the remnants of Intelligence to take down the Star Cabal. Kaliyo performed jobs for the Minister and the new Keeper, formerly Watcher Two. Though she received meager pay, Kaliyo stayed for the purpose of revenge against the conspiracy. She later reunited with Nine for the final mission to take down the Star Cabal.
During the Eternal Empire's Conquest, Nine went missing. Kaliyo considered hijacking the Phantom, but later decided not to. Five years after, Kaliyo worked against the Eternal Throne as FIREBRAND, not hesitating to cause trouble at any level of Zakuulan Society.
Personality and traitsEdit
- Cipher Nine: "Allow me to present Kaliyo Djannis, my loyal and trusted associate."
- Peyar Cortess: "Such an exotic young woman…how is it you come to be here?"
- Kaliyo: "I slid out of mama's womb and picked up a blaster. Now I'm your new friend's bodyguard. Course, you and me could be friends, too. You've got a nice place here—I could stick around awhile."
- ―Kaliyo displays some of her wit and charm.[src]
Kaliyo Djannis is playful, but extremely manipulative. According to Watcher X and Anspi'shel, mostly everything she says about herself is a lie. Kaliyo even told false stories of her life to Cipher Nine just to keep the agent under her string.
Kaliyo has absolutely no regard for her comrades or "friends" whatsoever. For instance, she tracked her "friend" Anspi'shel just so Kaliyo could sell her and take the bounty on her head, and had even tricked Cipher Nine into helping her.
She also learned how to speak in Kaleesh, particularly in profanities. Eckard Lokin described it as a "rare and admirable skill." She was highly amoral, but even she was disgusted by Darth Jadus's cruelty. As much as she wanted to see Jadus dead, she preferred watching him being humiliated.
Behind the scenesEdit
Kaliyo Djannis is a companion character for the Imperial Agent class of Star Wars: The Old Republic. She is voiced by Tasia Valenza. According to the game's text files, Djannis could leave the player permanently to work for a Vigo of Black Sun; however, this was later removed.
A male Imperial Agent can romance her.
There are several phrases written in Aurebesh on her page at the official site. When translated, they read: "cannibal-demon of the Summit?", "Habitual liar", "last known location Nar Shaddaa".[2]
A teaser of Chapter X of the Knights of the Fallen Empire expansion showed that Kaliyo would be one of the the old companions that will return on the next chapter.

You have a natural gift with capturing dynamic water and sky shots. This picture again uses the land as a visual divider. What I like about this one is the sharply linear perspective of the house that helps push the viewers eye into the background. The progression in tree sizes and the break in the lights and darks in the clouds help to emphasize that perspective. I also enjoyed the juxtaposition of the hard linear aspect of the building with the organic shapes of the clouds. The only suggestion I would make for improvement, is that cropping is an artist's best friend. The picture is almost divided in half by the horizontal line of land in the background. That makes for a somewhat stagnant picture. It's TOO calm. I would say to increase some of the visual tension, choose something to emphasize, either the water or the sky, and then crop away some of the other. I would say the sky has more visual appeal, and there is more "dead" space in the bottom center, so you could stand to crop roughly to the denser part of the reflected tree to the extreme left. This would tighten up the design, make the picture more dynamic, and place emphasis on that stunning sky.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
5 out of 5 deviants thought this was fair.
this is really interesting one from you, a little bit different topic. Still landscape but this time you cought some city, that gives a nice breeze of new conception among your artworks and what is more important makes this particular picture very interesting. What next makes me like this photo even more are those colors you used, grey, brown and orange. I found that landscape somehow dirty, polluted however everything except colors are fine so it build tense, which I find interesting, making me keep attention, look for some action. Also composition is very nice, dissmyetry, on the right water and a lot of space, but on the left are some buildings and shore, which draws line to the center of image and leads there attention of person who is watching the picture, forcing him to look deeper. In my opinion one of your best pictures here, keep working around that it may gives a lot of very interesting things. In one sentence good job.

Amazing picture!!!
great job
brilliant work!
Wow. Amazing colors!
Fire in the skies...
Beautiful <3
wow so beautiful
Beautiful colors
it does look like all colors are gone except for the fire of destruction! very nice effects
You certainly are the master of water reflections...
Wow, the colors are intense. Great job
This is just incredible! I love the way you captured the reflection. Truly a bit of "heaven on earth".
I am completely stunned by the colors. (ok this is going to sound horrible but) They remind me of a forest fire. Maybe its the orange color and how many gray clouds there are.
Well my aim was creating an apocalyptic atmosphere )
Never the less I love the shot.
Fabulous. I think a slower speed would spoil the great cloud patterns personally. great tones
Really great work. The image looks amazing! If I had anything to add, I would say possibly lower the shutter speed to 1-2 minutes, so you get a more fluid reflection. Other than that, it's perfect!
Thank you, i didn't have any tripod with me
Nice shot!
wonderful as always!

PARIS (AP) -- Officials say six people were injured when a fire broke out on a train Thursday as it passed through the tunnel under the English Channel.
The tunnel's operator says firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze. The train was shuttling trucks between England and France. Thirty-two people were aboard, most of them truck drivers accompanying their vehicles.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, but it broke out on one of the trucks about seven miles from the French end of the 30-mile tunnel. Traffic through it has been halted until tomorrow.
French officials say several people were sent to hospitals around Calais. There's no word on whether they suffered smoke inhalation or something else, and there's no word on their conditions.
Fires have been rare in the 14 years since the tunnel opened to commercial traffic, though there was one as recently as two years ago.

Quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC) engineers are responsible for ensuring the quality of products and services produced by their company. They oversee the manufacturing of products and they are involved in every stage of making a product--from development and manufacturing to packaging.Read More...
QA/QC engineers must make sure that their product complies with industry standards set by state and federal law as well as the standards of the company for whom they work. Another responsibility they have is to make sure that the processes and machinery or materials used to make their products are also safe for the employees. When there is any kind of quality issue, they must take the steps to fix the problem, even if this means halting production. They try to work out any issues that may arise while in development, but they must still be able to handle any issues that happen during production. QA/QC engineers observe production and they usually report to an operating supervisor or a production manager. They generally work in the factories or plants where the products are made but they also may have offices as well. Their work hours often vary based on when their company is running production: Some companies only do this during "regular" business hours, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Others may run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Requirements for this job also vary from company to company. Some companies desire a bachelor's or even master's degree specializing in the types of products they produce. An example would be an aeronautical engineering degree for someone who would work in the production of military jets for Lockheed Martin. Other companies do not require a college education and ask instead for a high school diploma and several years in the manufacturing industry.
The position of QA/QC engineers is important to everyone in ensuring that people receive satisfactory and safe products for use and consumption. If the position was skipped over, many more products in the market today would lead to customer dissatisfaction, injury or even death.

While Quality Control Engineers do not often become Test Automation Engineers, the job pays $88K per year on average. Quality Control Engineers most often move into positions as Quality Managers or Quality Assurance Managers; those groups report median salaries that are $10K higher and $6K higher, respectively.
Survey results imply that Quality Control Engineers deploy a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Problem Solving, Six Sigma Black Belt, Six Sigma Green Belt, and Project Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 9 percent and 17 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include SolidWorks, Windows Operating System General Use, and Microsoft Excel. Those proficient in Quality Assurance / Quality Control are, more often than not, also skilled in Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, and Data Analysis.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Quality Control Engineers — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Workers in their first five years can expect to earn $58K, but people who have been around for five to 10 years earn a noticeably bigger sum of $66K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Quality Control Engineers make a median salary of $70K. Individuals who report more than two decades of experience seem to make only slightly more than folks in the 10-to-20 year range; the more senior group sees median earnings in the comparatively modest ballpark of $72K.
For Quality Control Engineers, working in the bustling city of Montgomery has its advantages, including an above-average pay rate. Quality Control Engineers will also find cushy salaries in Boston (+13 percent), Cincinnati (+12 percent), Houston (+11 percent), and Detroit (+9 percent). The smallest paychecks in the market, 18 percent south of the national average, can be found in Columbus. Two other places where employers offer below-median salaries are Indianapolis (18 percent less) and Grand Rapids (15 percent less).
