Art imitates life on the beach at Suenos Tulum with amazing wall reliefs and murals that reflect Nature and the Maya in the context of the beach environment. This alternate energy mini-resort has 12 rooms in four buildings, plus a beach front swimming pool and restaurant.
Tulum beach is a natural, alternate energy destination where all accommodations must make their own power or have none at all. Suenos Tulum makes noiseless power with its solar panels for lighting in the rooms and to power the beach front swimming pool.
The grounds are filled with palms, sea grape and tropical plants that nurture the dune environment. The sand is ultra fine both around the rooms and on the beach, which stretches for miles in either direction.
These fanciful romantic rooms are full of color. The interiors are all custom designed and painted in earth and sea tones to reflect various Nature themes and Maya Gods including: tierra (earth), lluvia (rain), cielo (sky or heaven), and selva (forest). Each has a private bathroom with custom tile and personalized touches.
Master suites are on the upper level of each accommodation building and have superior views, great sea breeze, king size bed, private bathroom with shower and sea view terrace. There are five master suites.
There are five Junior suites all are on the middle level of each building and have two double beds, private 2nd level terrace and a private bathroom with shower.
There are two Beach suites both are on the beach level of two buildings and have two double beds, private bathroom with shower, direct dune/beach access, however there is little or no direct sea view, mostly sand.
The focus at Suenos Tulum is simply enjoyment of the beach, pool and nearby adventures. We recommend that you rent a car and venture the road south into the Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve, and west to the cenote freshwater pools of Tulum and the Riviera Maya. Primarily this is a place to relax, renew and take pleasure in the beauty of Tulum's spectacular beaches.

We have stayed at this little gem with Elizabeth, Gi and Jorge (OWNERS) several times over the last few years. The first think you will notice when you arrive is the first class staff. They will also prepare you a homemade cold beverage of your choosing. Then the staff will assist with you getting situated in the best rooms on the water in Tulum. The staff treats you like your family... The daily menu is first class and the dinners are a dream come true. If you want a small beachfront stay with space... this is the place.. beach, sun and good waves....

The rooms and the property are beautiful and artistic. We felt as if we were at a family compound. The dogs are a nice plus - my 7 yr. old daughter loved petting them every day. The pool is delightful and also a huge plus for when the ocean is choppy. The staff is wonderful and friendly. The food is delicious and the service good (if a little slow). The property is geared for relaxing - lots of little private spots with hammocks, shade structures, lounge chairs, etc.
We all woke up super early because of sun streaming in through the slats of the shades. (we were on the top floor). We needed coffee, and unfortunately breakfast does not start till 8. The wonderful cook was there at 7:30 and gave us coffee, but we had been up since 6.

EAST PROVIDENCE — Over 80 student singers and dancers performed during the 31st anniversary of Bay View Academy's "Manhattan at the Bay, " which took place May 1-4.
Directors Christine D. Kavanagh and Diane Gualtieri assembled a talented cast and crew to create the original cabaret-style production, "Making Memories." It's a celebration of song and dance that will take the audience on a 20th century whirlwind tour through Thailand, India, China, Italy, Ireland, England and back
The entire Bay View community is worked together to make this important fundraiser a success, including Visual Arts Chairperson, Mary Jane Andreozzi, of Seekonk, who created a life-size elephant for the production.
In addition to the five public presentations of "Making Memories," Bay View hosted an entire weekend of events. The gala event of the weekend was "Taste of the Bay" on Saturday evening, May 3. Taste of the Bay celebrated its third anniversary this year and featured 100 different types of wine and beer, courtesy of Clift's Liquors, East Providence, plus tasty bites to tempt the palate from area restaurants and bakeries, live entertainment and a silent auction.
It was a grown up evening out to support the girls and young women of Bay View Academy and included the 100 different wine and beers to try, plus fare from the following: Chapel Grille, Rosalina, Pizzico, Great Harvest Bread, Sage Cafe, East Providence, Magic Pizza, Dolce Gelateria, Roma, Panera Bread, Seekonk, PieZoni's, East Providence, Cilantro Mexican Grill, 88 Lounge, Lynne's Dolce e Pane, St. Angelo's, East Providence, O Dinis, East Providence, Buffalo Wild Wings and Blue Kangaroo Cafe.

It would be a scandal to abolish English Literature A-level
It would be a scandal to abolish English Literature A-level
Sir: I read with dismay your report (19 April) about the proposal by the National Association of Teachers of English to abolish A-level English Literature because it does not enable students to write suitably academic essays, and is too little related to modern culture. Frankly, this says far more about English teachers than about the needs of students.
It is fatuous to suggest that studying the literary classics is somehow unrelated to modern life. We may be surrounded by computers and spend hours in front of the telly, but human nature does not change. The whole point of studying the literature of any culture is to meet some of the greatest minds and imaginations that have ever existed, and learn about their view of the human condition. If teachers feel that the worlds of Chaucer and Dickens seem alien to today's students, it's their job to create a context and make them intriguing. That is their job. They are not paid to censor authors and dictate what is and is not permissible reading material. They may like to know (I speak from experience) that by GCSE students are already bored stiff with writing course work on The Simpsons.
Sir: When I take my final A-level English exam in June, I will have studied one 1990s novel, two Shakespeare plays, three Victorian poets, the poetry of William Blake, First World War literature, and a mid 20th-century play, novel and poetry. Each piece was studied in its cultural and historical context, with a view to past and present interpretations, and with great emphasis on "writer's craft." This list does not appear to me to show a "lack of breadth".
The idea that this A-level can't teach students "the skills needed to communicate" is odd, considering that a high proportion of marks are given for writing skill and essay structure.
In any case, it is so worrying it's almost funny that an organisation of English teachers cannot appreciate that, as any writer will tell you, reading is by far the best way of learning to write well.
And - if someone wishes to study modern media - I suggest Media Studies, or even better, read some of these wonderful publications known as newspapers.
Sir: If children are leaving schools unable to write essays, something must be done. But the suggested remedy - the merging of English Literature and English Language at A-level - is a scandal.
If you are too tired to play football because you skip breakfast, you don't give up football: you eat breakfast. Essay writing is that breakfast. If teachers are failing to impart essay-writing skills at GCSE level, that is the failing they must address. If members of the NATE are insensible, in the sense that Jane Austen uses the word, to the pleasures of close study of the treasure chest of of English Literature, they are unfit to be judges of its fate.
New Pope will keep Church in the past
Sir: Well, it is not what we liberal Christians were hoping for, although given the current composition of the College of Cardinals a more liberal Pope was extremely unlikely. There have been surprises in the past, but the new Pope Benedict XVI's track record is not encouraging.
However, in an odd way, by selecting an aged, hard-line Vatican bureaucrat, the Catholic Church may be even less likely to avoid ructions and a much greater liberalisation a few years down the tracks. How the more liberal members of the Catholic laity react over the coming months and years is going to be fascinating.
Sir: The continued opposition by the Catholic Church to contraception and homosexuality, both denounced as "intrinsically disordered" and "morally evil", is extremely unlikely ever to change. Ever since the early Church fathers and theologians, the only (regrettable) reason for sexual relations at all has been biological, i.e. to produce children. Since both homosexuality and contraception release sex from this permitted biological aim, both must stand condemned.
The Manichean dualism of flesh (evil) versus spirit (good) was outlined from the beginnings of Christianity and is central to St Paul, Augustine, Jerome, Aquinas, and ever since. Celibacy and abstinence remain ideals of the Catholic mindset, hidden behind the generous sounding praise of sanctified marriage. Clearly sexuality which does not have the valid "excuse" of procreation must therefore stand condemned, and no matter how scientific insight and modern secular reform might hope otherwise, we are not going to see a sudden lurch into the modern world by the Catholic Church.
Sir: I welcome the election of a hardline and authoritarian conservative as the new head of state of the Vatican: only the completely blind will now be able to hide from the fact that religions in general, and Catholicism in particular, are in fact peddlers of reactionary ideology and pernicious lies, irrelevant to the modern world, and obstacles to human happiness or progress. Long may those churches remain empty!
Sir: What opponents of "relativism", such as the new Pope, are really up against is the use of reason in moral and theological matters. They hate the democracy of discussion: that different views may be expressed on the important issues of the age, and that axioms may be challenged. This is however a major part of the Western tradition; Plato and Aristotle was endlessly challenging. So was Erasmus. What we are now faced with is a kind of hyper-authoritarianism, which attempts to crush all rational discourse about morality and society.
The new Pope, Benedict XVI, is said to be concerned above all about the condition of Europe. I rather doubt that his vision of total conformist submission to ecclesiastical power is compatible with Europe's alert moral traditions of openness and discussion.
Sir: Events such as hurricanes and volcanic eruptions are classed as Acts of God. Does the choice of Cardinal Ratzinger as successor to Pope John Paul II come in the same category?
Lib Dems green in theory, not practice
Sir: Andrew Cohen (letters, 20 April) says that it is a "no-brainer" that those who care about the environment should vote Liberal Democrat. Perhaps it might be wise, before accepting his advice, to look for a moment at the Lib Dem record in office.
The Lib Dems campaigned against GM crops, then approved their planting in Scotland, where they are in power. They also backed the introduction of congestion charging, then opposed its introduction in Edinburgh. Lib Dem councillors strongly supported the infamous Newbury and Batheaston bypasses, and support other roadbuilding schemes around the country, such as the potentially devastating Northern Distributor Road. Their four-per-cent recycling record in Liverpool is the worst in the entire country. And in Norwich, where they run City Hall, they support a massive expansion in local aviation, while air-traffic emissions are the fastest-growing source of CO 2 emissions. Finally, they refuse to rule out nuclear power: and how could they, given that they are in favour of retaining nuclear weapons, which depend for their fissile material on domestic nuclear power.
I half-agree with Mr Cohen: one would have to have no brain at all, to support the Lib Dems on the absurd grounds that they are allegedly environmentally friendly. The only serious green options available to electors on 5 May are, in Wales, Plaid Cymru; and, where they are standing, of course, the Green Party.
Sir: Michael Cullup (letter, 19 April) worries that middle-class people are unwilling to make sacrifices to save humanity from the effects of climate change (letter, 19 April). Why should we make sacrifices when we can save the planet by being selfish?
Why not give up the stressful driving and parking problems? In many towns and cities, time on a bus or train can be quality time. If you have the time, walking or cycling is even more relaxing and enjoyable. Get rid of that expensive car. Fit a little shopping into other trips.
Give up those airport queues and explore Britain's lovely countryside on foot. If it rains, no matter, there is plenty of waterproof walking gear. Soon your overdraft and waistline will be smaller. Later on, your overdraft will transform into a retirement pot and you can enjoy those extra years gained by switching to an enjoyable active life style.
The alternative to cars and planes is using your natural intelligence. No hair shirts for thoughtful environmentalists!
Myths of council tax and house prices
Sir: To have a debate about council tax, we must first understand how the present system works. Unfortunately, Penny Root's letter (18 April) perpetuates the myth that rising house prices give rise to increased council tax. The house price at the original valuation put her house in a tax band and probably it is still in that band. Even when there is a revaluation, most houses are likely to stay in the same band. Only those that have gone up more or less than the average will change.
So, there are many problems with council tax, but this is not one of them. Indeed, a major problem is that the tax on a very large house in Band H worth, say, £1.5m, is only three times the tax on a house in Band A, worth perhaps £100,000. As a result, it is pensioners caught in very small houses who really suffer, because they do not even have the option of selling up and moving to a house in a lower tax band.
Yet I suggest that a local income tax is not the answer. Think of the complexities of charging a different income tax for each precepting authority, which can be as small as a parish, particularly when people move. Also, we all know that some people evade income tax. The merit of taxing houses is that they are solidly there - and rather difficult to hide!
Sir: Tom Brown makes an assumption in his critique of the Liberal Democrats' proposal for a local income tax (letter, 18 April). He suggests that the current council tax is an appropriate tax on an appreciating asset. It is no such thing; the tax is not paid by the owner of the asset. I would love to be able to cash in some of the increase in the value of my home in order to pay my council tax. However, I suspect my landlord might not be so keen.
Social mobility and private education
Sir: Your report "Howard under fire for state school comments" (18 April) is too categoric in stating that the Independent Schools Council would "shun" the Conservative party's plans to expand choice for parents.
ISC is keen to expand choice and social mobility through making places in our schools available to children from modest or disadvantaged backgrounds. The problem faced by all political parties is how to achieve these goals without imposing huge extra costs on the Treasury. That can be done in a number of ways, and as a strictly non-political organisation, ISC will be hoping to speak to whichever Government is in office on 6 May.
Kindness to strangers
Sir: How about compulsory work experience for four to six months in Europe to give young people the opportunity to pick up some basic foreign language skills (letters, 16 April), and also the experience of being a stranger in a foreign country. It is worth reminding ourselves in the week of Passover the Biblical injunction to "be kind to the stranger for you were strangers in the land of Egypt".
Poets and bluebells
Sir: Flattered as I am to have my lines conflated with those of Gerard Manley Hopkins, the first and third quotes regarding the bluebell in the opening paragraph of Jonathan Brown's "Death Knell for Bluebells" (18 April) were in fact taken unattributed from my own poem about Hopkins and bluebells, first published in my book Nothing But Heather! by Luath Press in 1999 and, for those interested, readable on my website at www.gerrycambridge.com
Marla Ruzicka's death
Sir: Marla Ruzicka was a brave and selfless woman who did an enormous amount in her short life for innocent victims of conflict. To run the story of her death under the splash headline "The senseless death of the woman who fought George Bush" (19 April) is totally misleading. She was murdered by a suicide bomber in Iraq. Your editorial rightly praised her work and you said her legacy "should put many politicians in America, and in our own country, to shame". Yet you have no criticism for those who murdered her. That puts you to shame.
Secular youth work
Sir: David Flavell writes (letter, 18 April) about state support to Christian youth work. He implies the National Secular Society is in no position to criticise this policy since Christians go out and help the needy and, he implies, atheists do no such thing. He would do well to look up the word secular in a dictionary and not confuse it with atheism. Most charitable organisations are secular, have many atheist members, and don't wish to shove a religion down the throats of the people they help.
What do women want?
Sir: Your election coverage informs us that Tony Blair is to target women voters with a speech on school meals, food labelling and smoking in pubs (report, 19 April). It is reassuring to see that he is so firmly on my feminine wavelength. If he'd only added manicures and celebrity workouts, he'd have me for life.

Robert King, 46, who has worked on film music for a number of screen successes, plied most with alcohol before attacking them at his home.
Some were assaulted as they slept, while others suffered his unwanted attentions at bathtime.
One of his victims was so desperate to escape his clutches that he fled from room to room until he found a bed to cower under, London's Isleworth Crown Court heard. Then he vomited. Another, just 12 when King first molested him, put up with the abuse for three years before deciding he could endure no more.
Like the other four teenagers the defendant targeted - some of whom are now undergoing counselling - he kept his ordeal a secret well into adulthood. Then he wrote to the conductor, founder of the King's Consort orchestra and choir, accusing him of making his childhood "utterly miserable".
But in court King - regarded as one of the leading British conductors of his generation - dismissed his accuser as a "looney ... off his rocker", and the letter recounting his suffering as just "five pages of vitriol".
He insisted that all those levelling allegations against him were "absolute" liars. But Sarah Whitehouse, prosecuting, told the jury: "It flies in the face of reason that five people should independently make these allegations up."
The five-man, seven-woman jury, which spent more than 21 hours over five days considering the evidence, agreed.
The defendant, who has presented programmes for the BBC and toured the world with several orchestras, gasped, swayed and paled visibly as the first guilty verdict was announced.
Altogether he was convicted of 14 counts of indecent assault over an 11-year period. He was cleared earlier of a 15th similar count on the judge's directions.

'Leonard Messel' Kobushi Magnolia
This early spring beauty (Magnolia x loebneri 'Leonard Messel') blushes a rosy pink and grows into a small tree up to 30 feet tall. Landscape use: Place where you'll easily see the color from indoors. In northern zones, avoid planting it against a southern wall, where heat might promote too-early flowering that late spring frosts can destroy. Hardy to Zones 5 to 9.
'Venus' Dogwood (Cornus x 'Venus')
Large flowers at least 6 inches across make this traditional spring favorite awe-inspiring. This photo compares Venus blooms (top) to a typical white flowering dogwood (bottom). Give Venus part shade in the South; full sun up North. Landscape use: Small tree grows 15 to 18 feet tall. Site it where you'll be able to see the flower show from indoors. Strawberry-like fruits linger well into fall. Hardy in Zones 5 to 9.
'Oklahoma' Redbud (Cercis reniformis 'Oklahoma')
Beautiful pink-red blooms transform bare branches into magic wands in early spring. The green heart-shape leaves of Cercis reniformis 'Oklahoma' turn gold in fall. Landscape use: A good tree for a small yard or sidewalk planting. Use beneath tall trees or position it solo in a yard. Hardy in Zones 6 to 9.
Double Flowering Plum (Prunus triloba var. multiplex)
Frilly double pink blooms cover branches in spring before leaves appear. Position this beauty where you'll see it from indoors, but still plan to cut a few branches for bouquets. Landscape use: Widely adaptable small tree; often grown as a tall shrub (to 12 feet). Use as part of a planting border, or try it as a lawn tree. Hardy in Zones 3 to 8.
Higan Cherry (Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis Rosea')
Beautiful blush pink blossoms appear in spring and again in autumn. The spring show is the strongest, with more dispersed flowers in fall. Frost ends the flower show. Landscape use: Small tree suitable for small gardens, such as entry, sidewalk or patio areas. Hardy in Zones 5 to 8.
American Fringe Tree (Chionanthus virginicus)
Often called a "dogwood alternative" in landscape circles, the native American fringe tree (Chionanthus virginicus) flowers in late spring. White blooms form a fringe on the tree. Red fruits beckon birds. Need both male and female trees for fruiting. Landscape use: Include in wildlife gardens or native plant designs. Hardy in Zones 3 to 9.
'Evereste' Crabapple (Malus 'Evereste')
Pink flower buds open to white blooms that linger through spring. Flowering is well-timed for pollinating apple trees. Landscape use: Small tree ideal for small yards, entry gardens or sidewalk plantings. Look for ones sold on M-27 rootstock that grow 4 feet tall—perfect for pots. Hardy in Zones 4 to 8.
Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora)
Glossy dark green leaves of Magnolia grandiflora host large white blossoms in spring, followed by a smattering of flowers all summer long. Height varies from 20 to 80 feet, depending on variety. Landscape use: Falling leaves and fruit can be messy on a lawn. Plant as part of an ornamental bed where these droppings blend in as leaf litter. Hardy in Zones 6 to 9.
'Golden Eclipse' Japanese Tree Lilac (Syringa reticulata 'Golden Eclipse')
Japanese tree lilac packages the beauty of lilac shrubs in a tree form, growing 18 to 24 feet tall. Cream-colored flowers start opening in late spring and extend the show into early summer. Landscape use: A favorite street tree. Makes a good choice for smaller yards. Hardy in Zones 4 to 7.
Japanese Horse Chestnut (Aesculus turbinata)
Flowers appear in tall spikes in early summer and beckon pollinators and hummingbirds. Aesculus turbinata is a tough urban tree that withstands streetside conditions. Landscape use: Place as a shade or specimen tree in a front or backyard. Include in a wildlife garden. Hardy in Zones 5 to 9.
Smoke Tree (Cotinus coggygria)
Sometimes called smoke bush, smoke tree adds color and texture to summer scenery. The flowers are tiny and appear in early summer, but each bloom has a long pink filament attached to it, which creates a smoky look all summer long. Purple-leaf varieties are striking. Landscape use: Showcase as a specimen tree or include in a planting bed. Fits into small yards easily. Hardy in Zones 5 to 8.
Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica)
Flowers open in clusters at the ends of branches. Crape myrtle flower color runs a wide range, depending on variety. Most blooms appear in summer and linger into fall. Bark is beautiful, too. Landscape use: Plant as a street tree, along driveways or in entry gardens. Fits neatly into small spaces. Hardy in Zones 7 to 9.
Chaste Tree (Vitex agnus-castus var. latifolia)
Also called sage tree for its aromatic leaves, chaste tree is a native small tree growing to 10 to 20 feet tall. Bright blue flowers start opening in early summer and continue until frost. Strongest flower show occurs in June in the South and August in the Northwest. Landscape use: Well-suited for a small yard, deer-resistant plantings or gardens designed for seasonal color. Hardy in Zones 6 to 9.
Seven-Son Flower (Heptacodium miconioides)
White flowers blanket seven-son flower (to 20 feet tall) in late summer and early fall. Pink flower bases linger for weeks after. Landscape use: Good choice for drought-tolerant landscape or seaside plantings. Use in wildlife gardens. Hardy in Zones 5 to 8.

After being started along some research by Doug Fisher (in the Dry Moly thread), I read that the inventor of CerMark, Paul was now selling a new formula of black marking material under the brand name Laserbond, and that the litany of civil cases over CerMark were finally settled. Wanting to support the small guy and try his new product, I ordered from Paul's site http://www.laserbondingtech.com and subsequently began discussing LaserBond, it's uses and best practices, and even the history of the product with Paul through email. If you are curious about the history, this is what he told me:
The information posted (on RDWorksLab in the Dry Moly Thread) is basically correct both with regard to the Dry Moly spray which contains molybdenum disulfide and which we tested thoroughly (but it didn't work nearly as well as molybdenum trioxide which is much more expensive and a critical component in our formulation; as well as the references to my initial posts in September on http://www.sawmillcreek.org which were taken down by the moderator because he thought I was too blatantly trying to promote my new LaserBond 100 products - as opposed to trying to get the "real story" out there about the actual technology and the legal battles associated with it in opposition to other products available (which are all licensed under my original patents), but now owned by Ferro (CerMark). There have been lawsuits going on since 1997, with the final result that Ferro has used their financial resources and now owns or controls all of the early patents to this technology.
Since you purchased from my website, you know that I'm the original inventor of this technology and that there's been a very long history to obscure the actual inventorship of the technology and to attempt to take the business away from me. Based on the recent legal decision, I intend to continue to go directly to all potential customers with the "real story" and to continue to improve the product (as shown by my pending patent) and offer it directly to all end users at a much lower price by eliminating the multi-level distribution markups provided by Ferro - especially since they've bought TherMark (which I originally founded) and now basically control the entire market for this technology. I'll be telling more of the history and the current status of these products on my website blog, so please go back to the website and sign up for the newsletter.
Obviously this is one side of the story, as is my experience since I haven't tried CerMark or TherMark, but it is interesting to those who are curious like I am.
During our conversations, Paul helped me when I first started using the product. I think his feedback could help others starting out in metal marking, so I'll post an excerpt here:
If your original image was of sufficient quality (120 dpi or higher) then it would appear that the coating of the LaserBond 100 you sprayed onto the surface was too thick and/or you used too much power. (Remember that power and speed are closely related - slower speed is basically the equivalent of more power because portions of the laser spot remain in the same position for a longer period of time, even though it's only milliseconds). Due to the smaller particle size, approximately one thousandth of an inch (0.001") is about the optimum thickness, however it's very difficult to spray the coating that thin - it takes practice! The thicker the coating - the more power (or slower speed) you will need to generate enough heat to make the chemical bonding occur causing the LaserBond 100 to adhere to the substrate surface; however. a thicker coating will also produce "fuzzier" edges because the heat generated by the laser spot (when absorbed by the coating) will radiate out into a larger area of the coating and cause the lines of the image (laser dots - dpi plus laser pulses per second) which will then become larger than the original image intended - as interpreted by the laser software/firmware. So my recommendation is to use a thinner coating and/or faster speed to improve the quality of the finished laser marking.
There's much more involved with all this thermal energy/chemical reaction process technology, but I think that's enough for now.
I did find out there is such a thing as too thin of a spray. If the spray is too thin that you can see the metal underneath, the black parts will not be solid after lasering. It seems that you want it as thin as possible while using enough to completely obscure the metal (or other material's surface). I use significantly less power with LaserBond over Dry Moly as well. Only 23% power (~8 watts) at 50mm/s for stainless steel. The only other material I've tried so far has been a white ceramic tile that Dry Moly failed on completely, but LaserBond marked nicely.
Here are some of the RTIC tumblers I've been making lately. I received my first order from a paying customer completely by accident today, so I'll be marking 20 more RTIC tumblers soon. I am still new to this, but I thought you guys would appreciate my initial impressions. I'd love to hear from anyone else with experience in metal marking, especially if they have tried both CerMark and LaserBond.
*I have no idea why some of the images are rotated incorrectly. Sorry.

Molecular ions have long presented a challenge to spectroscopists. Because of the extreme difficulty in generating molecular ions in high concentrations, sensitivity limitations have restricted work in this field. The technique of laser-induced fluorescence (l.i.f.) has provided us with a means to partially overcome this limitation. L.i.f. spectra of small molecular ions, e.g. N$_{2}^{+}$, CO$^{+}$ and CO$_{2}^{+}$, show Doppler-limited resolution. Besides their spectroscopic information content, such spectra also serve as quantum-state selective ion detectors, by which dynamical processes involving such ions can be followed. L.i.f. spectra have also been recorded for larger organic ions, e.g. olefinic, acetylenic and benzenoid cations. The large molecular ions' spectral congestion, caused by the large number of levels populated at room or elevated temperatures, can severely limit the resolution and interpretability of the spectra. As a means of surmounting this problem, we have studied many of the cations at reduced temperatures. The techniques employed include liquid N$_{2}$ and free jet expansion cooling in the gas phase, and isolation in solid Ne matrices. The combination of these different spectra lead to a wealth of information about electronic structure, vibrational frequencies, Jahn-Teller effects, etc., in organic molecular ions.

The cash will pay for research into new treatments for haemophilia - in which sufferers' blood fails to clot, so even small untreated wounds can prove fatal - and the wasting disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy, both of which affect only boys.
Both studies involve gene therapy, the new science of using healthy tissue grown in labs to regenerate and repair damage caused by inherited diseases, deep within the patient's body. Scientists estimate that by 2015 the science could be used to treat around a third of life-threatening diseases.
Sufferers from Duchenne start struggling with walking as toddlers, and deteriorate rapidly: typically they have to use a wheelchair by the age of nine or 10, and most die of lung or heart failure in their early twenties. Although gene therapy would not provide a cure, it could leave boys with only mild symptoms, restoring the joy of active childhood and a near-normal life expectancy.
It is caused by an error in the gene responsible for producing dystrophin, a protein essential to maintaining the cell walls in muscle.
'We are looking at developing a molecular patch - a tiny bit of genetic material which sticks over parts of the gene and restores some of the order needed so it can produce some dystrophin,' said Joe Korner of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.
'That slows down the progression of the condition. It would mean the cells would break down much slower, would extend people's mobility and extend their lives. This money is going to be really, really welcome.'
The Health Secretary, John Reid, will announce a £4m research grant tomorrow at an Oxford conference organised by the British Gene Therapy Society.

This couple is so obsessed with their looks that they have spent a combined amount of S$446, 636.10 (£209,000) to look like living dolls.
According to a report in eBaum's World, 20-year-old Anastasia Reskoss and 23-year-old Quentin Dehar are not done, they want to do more to change their looks.
Reskoss has already had two boob jobs, cheek fillers, a nose job and so much more while her 23-year-old partner has had eye bag removal, botox, fillers, nose jobs and you'll have to just browse through the gallery to see what else the duo has augmented.

John Clare wrote about dark and dull November days, but how the game in Europe could do with an Indian summer as the autumn internationals beckon. South Africa, New Zealand and Australia arrive in Europe after a Tri-Nations campaign that was hardly more stimulating than the Six Nations championship which preceded it.
The New Zealand coach, Graham Henry, was in typically waspish mood this week when he described most sides in Europe, meaning the Six Nations, as conservative in their approach. Dull, in other words. He cited Wales as the exception, but South Africa have hardly been a byword for adventure this year and their meeting with Ireland at the end of the month, who won the Six Nations by adopting similarly constrictive tactics, could come down to who blinks first.
Henry laments the surfeit of kicking spawned last year by the experimental law variations, but Wales presaged the changes on their way to the 2008 grand slam when they kicked more often than anyone else in the Six Nations, keeping the ball in play and chasing hard. They were opportunistic and waited for the moment.
"Wales play the best brand of rugby in Europe," said Henry. "They have a good balance in their side." The All Blacks kicked more than any other side in the 1995 World Cup, but they were also the most devastating when they chose to attack with ball in hand. They too were prepared to bide their time.
It will be interesting to see how diplomatic Henry is in the week of New Zealand's clash against England. The Guinness Premiership has so far lived up to the stereotype of English rugby: even London Irish have been involved in tryless encounters in their last two matches. There is no questioning the honesty, commitment and courage of players, but it says a lot when the bottom club, Leeds, can travel to two of the top four clubs in successive weeks and emerge with five points without having to aim high to get them.
It is breaking down for rugby in the tackle area. The breakdown has become rugby's version of the M1 where anticipated speed has translated into slow-moving frustration. Different referees have different tolerance thresholds: one official will penalise the tackled player for holding on while another will ping the tackler for preventing release. The International Rugby Board's intention of removing the subjectivity of officials has backfired.
Teams could do more to help themselves. England had a tiresome ploy last season of having forwards hanging around the breakdown ready to take a pass and rumble forward a few inches: not so much pick and go as pick and slow; everything stagnated.
There should be more of a fragrance about England this month and it will be interesting to see how they have evolved tactically. Martin Johnson took a battering in the media last November after heavy defeats to the Tri-Nations countries and his detractors were still at it even after the men in white held Ireland to a one-point margin in Dublin in February.
England tried to live up to an idea last autumn before injecting themselves with a dose of pragmatism at the start of the Six Nations. They have been ravaged by injuries and they have been checking the use-by dates in their front-row cupboard, but this month will be as notable for the manner of their performances as their results.
Or at least it should be. The problem for Johnson is that he cannot hide behind promise, or even the promise of promise, especially against an Australia side perceived as easybeats. The Wallabies may have finished at the bottom of the Tri-Nations, but they did defeat South Africa once and they looked the most adept of the three sides at attacking off set-piece possession. They were at their least effective, strangely, in broken play but they had probably the strongest scrum in the tournament.
England finished the Six Nations well and, overall, Johnson's first season in charge was better than what had gone before. The return of Jonny Wilkinson seems to have got everyone excited, but any excitement on the field should be provided by Shane Geraghty. The decision to release Ben Foden back to Northampton this weekend means England, like Wales, will go into Saturday's game without a specialist full-back, defensive concerns taking precedence over attacking options.
Perhaps this November will turn out to be bright and burnished, but there will be no breath-holding. The big beasts rule the jungle and who cares as long as the turnstiles keep clicking?

EUR/USD bounces off 20-month minimum, though gains seen limited
On Thursday, the euro ascended against the greenback, bouncing off a 20-month minimum after data disclosed that the German business climate is still solid in November, though everlasting support for the US dollar limited the common currency's profits.
The currency pair EUR/USD eased off 1.0518, its lowest result since March 2015, to reach 1.0576 during European morning trade, rising 0.21%.
The pair was about to gain support at 1.0518, the session minimum and resistance at 1.0647 and also Wednesday's peak.
The Ifo institute told its business climate index dropped to 110.4 this month from October's outcome of 110.5, though still strong. Financial analysts had expected an outcome of 110.5.
The euro's revenues were expected to remain limited, as the US dollar was still backed by expectations that President-elect Donald Trump's plans to increase fiscal spending and cut taxes will stimulate economic growth and also inflation.

Coconut Cream Filling
This filling may be made up to one day ahead and kept, tightly covered, in the refrigerator. Use this to fill our Coconut Layer Cake.
- Yield: Makes 4 cups
Source: Martha Stewart Living, May 1997
- 6 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups milk
- 4 ounces (1 1/2 cups) sweetened angel-flake coconut
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Unsalted butter, for wrap
Place egg yolks in a large bowl; whisk to combine; set bowl aside.
Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until mixture thickens and comes to a boil, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
Whisk 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into the reserved egg yolks to temper. Slowly pour warm yolks into the saucepan, stirring constantly. Cook slowly, stirring, over medium-low heat, until mixture begins to bubble, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in coconut and vanilla.
Transfer filling to a medium mixing bowl. Lightly butter a piece of plastic wrap, and lay it directly on top of filling to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour.

The Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) has rejected a bid made by Orchard Park Garden Centre to challenge an unfair dismissal ruling brought by an ex-employee and animal rights activist.
Orchard Park instructed Dorset firm Maclachlan Solicitors director Mark Griffin to challenge the earlier ruling, which found that discrimination against people with a strong belief in animal rights is unlawful. Nick Smith of Bristol set Queen Square Chambers represented Orchard Park in the EAT.
The ruling is a victory for Blackstone Chambers' Ivan Hare, who was instructed for the claimant by Bindmans employment head Shah Qureshi.
On 9 December 2009 Mr Hashman, a lifelong animal rights campaigner and hunt saboteur, lodged proceedings claiming that Orchard Park Garden Centre had terminated his contract as a gardener because of his belief in the sanctity of life and, in particular, his opposition to fox hunting and hare coursing. He claimed he was unaware at the time of accepting the position that his employers were pro-hunt supporters.
In a judgment passed on 4 March 2011 Judge Lawrence Guyer ruled that Hashman's belief in the sanctity of life "extends to his fervent anti-fox hunting belief " and such beliefs should be protected under 2003 employment regulations.
Orchard Park's argument that Mr Hashman's beliefs were incoherent, inconsistent, politically motivated by class war and that they endorsed violence and were therefore not worthy of respect in a democratic society were rejected by the Employment Tribunal.
The appeal was referred to the EAT where Judge Peter Clark decided it "disclosed no reasonable prospects of success" and that the original Employment judge had applied the law correctly.

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by PacNWBuff, May 9, 2008.
can you imagine the beast he will be in 09? bigger, stronger and hungrier.....:wow::thumbsup:
Maybe this will be a good thing if he can get his $hit together in the next year. Hopefully Mohler will qual. and we should be pretty solid at LB with Burton, Sip, Major, Mohler, Smart. We are going to have to look at this situation as a glass is half full kind of thing, Katoa in '09= Butkus winner
Yeah!! Glass half full. But come one now, not 3/4 full. Katoa will be playing at CU in '09, not OSU. No Butkus allowed...:huh:
You're forgetting Jones and Beatty. Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing Major redshirted as well, unless injuries force him into the lineup. That's obviously contingent on Mohler qualifying of course, but I actually am feeling fairly confident about that happening.
Hopefully we get mante te'o too.A plethora of lb's.
Best case scenario, given what he apparently did and the climate in Boulder re: CU football.... Can't wait to see him on the field in 09... :thumbsup:
A guy like that shouldn't even be allowed on campus much less allowed to play football.
We don't need this kind of **** at CU.
that is very, very short sighted of you. what a shame. :huh:
And what of the guys who tasered Katoa's friend, starting the confrontation Katoa was suspended for?? I assume you are running around advocating for them to be thrown off campus as well?? :huh:
What about the a$$hole students? I guess as usual they get a free pass.
Hooli, is that you?
You have been around for more than 8 minutes so I wont neg-rep you. That said I call bull****.
First off you value a guys fire on the field but want it turned off when he leaves? Secondly plenty of students fight all the time in college, granted he allegedly grabbed a rock, but I have seen worse weapons brought to fights in boulder. Thirdly young kids make mistakes, one strike an you are out for college kids in general simply isn't viable.
Finally you'll note I never said football players, there is a reason for that, I just don't think its fair to hold them to a higher standard than regular students.
So, to take this in a different direction...
If Katoa was to transfer NOW to OU, would he have to sit out a season, or would he be ok as he's been suspended the whole time he was here?
he'd sit out 2 seasons, same conference rule
even though he never played and was suspended for the only semester he was here? What about if he followed his buddy to Utah?
He's paying his dues right now, and I really can't blame a 18-year-old kid for making a bad decision in the first 3 months he's away from home for the first time.
But his leash will be VERY short. Hawk won't keep him around if he doesn't fly on the straight and narrow for the next year.
""A guy like that shouldn't even be allowed on campus much less allowed to play football.
We don't need this kind of **** at CU.""
Dude, shut up. Not like you've never screwed up in your life. Who the F**k are you to be so judgemental? Young people do not always make the wisest decisions in life. It's part of growing up, some make real bad decisions and some make real good decisions but most everyone has minor screw-up and learn from them.
You freakin pansy, have you never gotten into fight for what you believed was right?
Damn, this is a HOT WING:smile2:
Tell it BROTHA!
At the end of the day, I think Katoa will be a better person for having gone through this crap. While it is crap, we all learn from our mistakes. This won't really be too costly for him. I doubt he'll transfer - what would be the point? He's going to be a better person off the field and I would guess a much better and more seasoned player on the field as the result of this.
Does anyone know who makes up the judicial affairs board, or whatever it is? It there a way to review their decisions? I'm just curious that if any student is arrested do they go in front of that board and are they consistent in their decisions.
That varisty post had to be a joke. Please do nto pay attention to it. There was no explanation as to why he/it felt that Katoa should be permanently kicked out of school. If you want to know the truth, Boulder needs a few less trust fund, s**t talking babies who are so quick to throw out insults and judge others yet have never had to lift a finger to do or defend anything in their lives. It's sad, but unless something dramatic happens, most of these kids will go through life with an unmerited sense of entitlement. Maybe a rock to the head might not be such a bad idea.
Work hard this fall Lynn and help keep that 08 and 09 momentum going!
I'd like to take this opportunity to say that I know a non-athlete who was also suspended from school for brawling by the JA. So all this talk of singling out football players is unfounded.
Punk Judicial Affairs info
Your post isnt a whole lot better than his man, you dont want others to judge but you are quick to judge yourself. I'd bet he is not in school and no trustafarian with a post like that.
As for the judicial affairs thing I never had to deal with it when I got MIP's etc in college.
Boulder County Police turn in the name of every single kid they give a ticket (as long as it breaks student conduct code, which is most) to the University who sorts through which kids are students and which are not. Obviously they don't care about the non-students, but with the CU students they find, they send them a letter telling them they need to set up an appointment with Judicial Affairs. Then the student goes in and gets things metaphorically shoved up their ass.
Must have gotten very lucky then, i was ticketed for MIP, and a more serious multiple infraction in later in a separate incidents never heard word one from the school.
In my defense I was vindicated in the later more serious incident.
Well when was this? That is as of now, I don't know if/when it changed.
2001 for me, I am geussing it changed when they moved from three strikes to two.
OK, I've always figured he'd be done this year. But where is the verification of the story? Sipili was not even allowed on campus for a semester. Katoa will be? I hope this is true, but where is the validation?
Probably changed since then. No one gets lucky.
Separate names with a comma.

By Peter Eisler and Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The FBI has sent the bomb from the attempted Christmas Day airliner attack to a special lab to study its design and look for DNA samples that could help determine who built or handled the device, according to two federal officials familiar with the case.
The explosives-laden underwear found on suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is being analyzed at the FBI's Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC) in Quantico, Va., say the officials, who declined to be identified because they aren't authorized to comment on the case.
The lab is staffed by technicians, explosives experts and intelligence analysts from across the government, including the FBI, the CIA and the Department of Defense (DoD). It was set up in 2003 to study and glean intelligence from bombs used in terrorist attacks and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used against U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
HOMELAND SECURITY: Napolitano seeks European air-security changes
"The capabilities that exist at (the center) allow them to take that thing apart from soup to nuts, take the DNA off it … look at how it was made, where it was made, where they got the components," says Mike Rolince, a retired FBI agent formerly in charge of counterterrorism at the bureau's Washington field office.
"Everyone who has a piece of this war (on terrorism) — DoD, the CIA and the other intel agencies, the FBI — is going to want to know as much as they can about what the (lab) can determine," adds Rolince, now a senior associate at the Booz Allen Hamilton consulting firm. "They want to know who are the bombmakers, how do they make their bombs, where do they get the components, where are they hiding."
As of 2007, the TEDAC had received and studied components from more than 24,000 explosive devices and was getting more than 9,000 IED submissions a year just from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a 2007 FBI report.
Information on the engineering of each device — types of explosives, wiring, detonators and other details — is put in a database used to tie bombs to other bombs or particular bombmakers and workshops. The lab also collects trace evidence for clues about where a bomb was made, as well as biometric information, such as fingerprints and DNA.
The underwear worn by Abdulmutallab was packed with the explosive pentaerythritol tetranitrate, or PETN, which he allegedly injected with a syringe of liquid in a failed attempt to trigger a chemical ignition. TEDAC technicians can analyze the PETN for clues to how or where it was made, and the unusual method of detonation could indicate whether a known bombmaker helped build the device.
In 2007, TEDAC technicians linked nearly 50 IEDs to other bombs or specific individuals based on design characteristics, the FBI report says. In at least two other instances, bombmakers were identified using DNA, but there may be challenges to collecting useful biometric evidence in this case, experts say.
It is notoriously difficult to get good fingerprints from cloth, says Mark McGovern, a member of the Pentagon's Defense Science Board task force on biometrics. And it may be a challenge to get DNA samples because the underwear worn by Abdulmutallab was partially burned in the failed effort to trigger an explosion.
"Fire is a particularly bad bunkmate of DNA," says McGovern, security director at Secure Services Corp., which provides privacy and security services to private industry. "But … assuming there's some cloth left, and it sounds like there's a good bit left, then they have a decent chance of getting some profiles."
DNA from the device can be checked against other databases containing biometric information on suspected terrorists, including the Joint Federal Agency Intelligence DNA Database, which contains about 85,000 DNA profiles, according to Air Force Lt. Col. Eric Butterbaugh, a Pentagon spokesman. Most of the profiles are from fighters picked up by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, but the database also includes DNA samples gathered by intelligence agencies from suspected terrorists or their hide-outs.
Even if investigators can't match DNA from the bomb to specific individuals, that evidence still can be valuable, says Max Houck, a professor of forensic science at West Virginia University. For example, "if they can get profiles and if they think they might have a likely bombmaking location based on other evidence, they can start testing items at that location to see if they find DNA that matches."
U.S. counterterrorism officials have said that they are looking at whether Abdulmutallab may have received help from associates in Yemen, where he traveled before the attack.
Yemeni intelligence services have a working relationship with their U.S. counterparts, but they are not technologically advanced enough to analyze DNA themselves, says retired Army colonel W. Patrick Lang, former head of Middle East intelligence at the Defense Department.
"The Yemenis are not very technological, but they can run the most fantastic informant operations in the world (and) … everybody is a walking mass of data on all the different groups," says Lang, who consults on Middle East security and still visits Yemen regularly. "If they drag people in and take DNA swabs, then (DNA from the bomb) will be very useful in verifying whether someone was involved."

Clu Les Wunn writes a letter
Miscellaneous by: brucek
Status: Finished
Genre: Humor
Dear Sirs,
While reading the July issue of "Robust Man" magazine, I came across an advertisement in your classified section regarding mail order brides. It just so happens that I'm a bachelor, and I have been thinking of getting married for some time now. I have to admit, I am not overly familiar with the process of ordering a bride through the mail, but if it is as easy as you claim, I am willing to send you the amount requested and place my order. Before I do, however, I have a few concerns.
First, let me say that I don't need to exchange any correspondence with the young lady. I'm sure if you take sufficient care in addressing my preferences, I can trust your judgment in making a selection. However, I am concerned somewhat about the method of shipment.I want my future bride to be as comfortable as possible while in transit. It is, of course, paramount the crate have sufficient air holes. Also, I must insist that you supply her with bedding, pillows, and an ample amount of food and water for the journey. I have to admit, I find it a bit unusual that you will be mailing her to me, but if that is the way these things are done, I want to make sure that everything is as pleasant as possible for her.
As far as the particulars of my wife-to-be, please refer to the following list:
1. I am not overly concerned about size and shape. I'm assuming if you can fit her into the crate, she will be acceptable.
2. Please show her my enclosed photograph.If her reaction to my appearance is violently negative, please make another selection.
3. I would prefer her to speak English, but that isn't a necessity. I will provide on the job training.
4. Should she arrive in poor health, I will attempt to determine if the illness was caused by the journey, or if it was a chronic condition. An enclosed copy of her medical and dental records would be invaluable, should I decide to return her.
In conclusion, I trust that when you say you'll be using "express" mail, she will arrive in 2-3 days. I am most eager to meet her and begin my new life. Thank you in advance for all of your efforts.
C. L. Wunn

looooools funniest title
I don't see anything wrong with this; you specified plenty of air holes; what else could she want?
Bruce, my good man, this is so indecent it's hilarious! It's not at all offending in any way... not if one has a sense of humour, that is. And I do think you and I can agree that humour should be an essential quality in human beings!
phew! i thought for sure i was going to be in trouble with someone with this one. i don't know how i can write such sweet love poems, and then write something like this. but i saw a spark of a giggle in there and i just had to see if i could bring it out. the poor girl! but what can you do, he's Clu Les, after all.
Once again, you leave me with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. Good stuff!
Trouble for this one?? If someone didn't have a sense of humor, maybe. I'm glad I've got one. A sense of humor I mean, not a mail order bride. Tee-hee
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS XD congrats, brucie, you win all of the likes. ALL OF THEM. Nobody else ever gets a single like ever again, because you win all of them with this piece. You can't tell, but I've stood up and am violently applauding the computer screen. My cat thinks I'm drunk. Ha! Only on HUMOR 8D well done, sir; well done.

Play gameVisit BROOMSTICK DD6's game page
a couple more thoughts, ctrl could also be used as a crouch key as well as making your hitbox smaller(dunno if it already does this) for crouch jumping
also the flying feels a lot more natural in the test level than it does in the first level and i think the reason for this is because of the ample frame of reference, it's hard to judge your velocity unless you're near an island. maybe air-speedlines that swish past you to show the direction you're moving in could help. having a skybox with some color gradient would help a too, but i think the main thing is just having more.. things floating around. those big grate type shapes in the test level are great for a visual reference in midair, interesting shapes that are clear at different angles/distances are what you want more of i think.
the spell system is great, and has a lot of potential. Falling to my death while trying to remember broom summon is a great feeling.
I couldn't get solve solve any puzzles, just put 2 cubes in a buckets. I really struggled with the broom controls. The amount of control you have over flight is impressive, but overwhelming.I feel like you need a tutorial to show not just the mechanics of flight, but the dynamics. Like at first I couldn't tell why I couldn't point the broom up and hold shift wasn't making me move up. but found you can't fight gravity, you need to build momentum sideways first before you pull up. You may need to subsitute extra control for ease of use, at the very least for beginners.
Maybe you could add an auto-hover mode for beginners/players focusing on their spells while in air? Or a trajectory trail?
Anyways, Its all great progress, l've been looking forward to playing this for a while. Keep it up.
I really liked it the controls were weird at first but after I got used to them and started using the spells I had a really enjoyable time with it!
rly kewl, controls take a bit to get used to but that seems like the point and once you become proficient at it it's a lot of fun to move around
i think the only thing that continues to bug me is wanting to press shift + ctrl at the same time in certain situations, it's kind of difficult for me to do with just my pinky. rebindable controls would definitely be nice
Pretty game, cute hat, too little force acting against the momentum.
I like it!

UNSC Military Security Code 447-R27 is a UNSC protocol enforced in 2552. It forbids a consultant from accessing classified files in ONI's CASTLE Base on planet Reach. AIs guard the database against this. In event of an infraction, the offense is recorded and authorities are immediately notified. The AI then warns the infractee to stop, and is authorized to use whatever force necessary if the infractee will not comply. Dr. Catherine Halsey and her AI broke this protocol during the Battle of Reach, which led her to Ackerson's SPARTAN-III Program on Onyx.[1]

Chapter 6.3Mature
He waited patiently for her to stand up before leading her out of the gym and down the corridor to the lab. He held the door open for her as she passed through.
"Oh what's wrong now?" Zeke asked as they entered. "I swear, how many times have I had to fix you this week?"
She stuck her tongue out at him. "I fell on my arm funny and it hurts."
He sighed exaggeratedly, as if making her better was such an effort. To be honest, Beth thought he was magic or something, an injury that would usually take a fortnight to heal could be gone overnight with one of Zeke's miracle creams that he made especially for the specific injury.
"Come on then, let's see what's going on with your arm," he said as he led her through into the infirmary. "Are you staying, Elijah?"
"Want me to?" he asked Beth.
She smiled. "No, its okay, thanks."
He nodded and left.
"You know, as your doctor, I could stop you doing exercise," Zeke pointed out.
"You are my temporary doctor," she teased, sitting down on the bed he stopped by.
"And I'm sure I'm better than any of your human doctors by far."
"Of course, but still only temporary."
He grinned and pulled a chair up in front of her as he gently took hold of her arm.
She gasped in pain as he touched her forearm. He apologised and his touch became even lighter.
"Distract me," she commanded, taking deep breaths.
"Distract you? With what?" he asked, frowning.
"Um, how's Caelan doing?"
"Caelan? Caelan's doing well, slowly getting better. Still on bed rest for the next few days though. I'm not a hundred per cent sure about what he's actually got but it's nothing too serious, thankfully; I don't know what I'd do if it was something bad."
"Like what?"
"Cancer," he replied immediately without looking at her. "We don't have a cure for cancer yet. It's more complex than human cancer; there aren't very many who actually understand how it works. My father is the leading practitioner in that field at the moment."
"Is it a terminal disease for vampires too?"
He nodded. "My mother died from it when I was young."
"But what Caelan has, it's nothing major, right?"
"It's probably just flu. He's been having symptoms of it; fevers, chills, hallucinations and delusions."
"I don't really remember what it was like when I had it."
"Oh, of course, I forgot that you managed to contract it. Takes a lot of skill, that," he said, grinning up at her.
She rolled her eyes. "What do you mean hallucinations and delusions? What sort of thing has he been seeing?"
"He said that he met his brother the other day. He doesn't have a brother. He thought I was going to hurt him when I went to check on him. When I went to bed last night he didn't know who I was; I had to sleep on the couch. They're very comfortable at least."

Finding Text in the Document
You can search for a given string of text in a document by using the findText method on a TextRange object. This method starts the search at the beginning of the range and, if it finds the string, positions the range so that it entirely encloses the string.
The following example uses findText to search for each instance of the word "sample" and displays a message identifying how many instances it found.
var rng = document.body.createTextRange(); for (i=0; rng.findText("sample")!=false; i++) { rng.collapse(); } alert("There are " + i + " instances of sample");
In the above example, the collapse method moves the start of the text range to the same position as the end point, ensuring that the same instance of "sample" is not counted twice.
You can carry out a global search and replace by using findText and the text property. The following example searches for each instance of "sample" and replaces it with the word "final".
var rng = document.body.createTextRange(); for (i=0; rng.findText("sample")!=false; i++) { rng.text = "final"; }
You can select the text that you find, making it easier for the user to see, by using the select method. Similarly, you can scroll the text into the user's view by using the scrollIntoView method. Together, these methods give you a way to make the result of a search clearly visible to the user. The following Microsoft JScript (compatible with ECMA 262 language specification) example searches for the word "sample", selects the word, and then scrolls the word to the top of the window.
var rng = document.body.createTextRange(); if (rng.findText("sample")==true) { rng.select(); rng.scrollIntoView(); }
Note that you can also create a text range from a selection made by the user. The createRange method on the selection object returns a text range. You can use the same methods and properties on this range as you do for ranges created using createTextRange.

Filtrate Eyewears youngest Advocate Kaiser had the privilege to go on a recent trip to Bali. We've been receiving content from his father while they go around all the small towns delivering school supplies, fishing and shredding the local waves. "We are now on the island of Roti, surf small but fun ,waiting on swell. We went fishing and scored catching 4 nice fish, 2 50lbs + Uluas.
We also went to a school in the village here where we brought as much school supplies as we could carry here. Paints, crayons, pencils, folders, etc. The kids were super stoked and freaking out on Kaisers white hair. They were chasing him around like a rock star. I think he was a little freaked out, especially since they kept wanting to squeeze his cheeks.
It puts a big smile on Kaisers face when he leaves these schools. Makes him feel really good." Here's a few photos from the trip.
