Logan Jeffrey has a reputation…
He's gruff, deliriously handsome, and domineering. As a tenured criminology professor at the University of Newport in Southern California, he can say whatever he wants and won't have to worry about the repercussions of his attitude. He's known for calling students out, making them feel like idiots in front of the entire lecture hall, but pushing them to their truest potential. Every student who passes with an A somehow ends up with a full-time job by the time they graduate. Rumors swirl that he has a habit of sleeping with his teaching assistants and breaking their hearts (totally true). For those who don't know his reputation, he tends to scare the piss out of students and his TA's.
Some desires are better left uncovered…
Erik Bertinelli is the son of the vilest mob boss in all of New York's underbelly. He's the enforcer, the hitman for the syndicate, and the type of guy who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. His hideaway is as unconventional as they come… the New York Public Library.
With a thirst for knowledge and a grand getaway at his fingertips, he loses himself daily in the dusty tales of old. Life is too f*cked up most days of the week. Peace would be beyond welcomed.

Hi all im looking for some advice please from the ladies and men on this oneIv posted about this before my fiance was caught textn a girl he met online we worked it out he didnt know her and never met herIts happened again this time its a girl we know he has been texting her since before xmas and kinda stalking her as shes never replyed to him then let her know on facebook who he was as she didnt have his number. The messages are about how he likes her and wants to be with her and one on xmas saying how he wanted to spend xmas with her. We have a 4year old dd. We were ttc no 2 for 3years. Do you c this as cheating??? All advice wanted. Lx
Thanks ladies I'm much happier now. He sent msgs to my cousin that's how I found out so it was enough for me and I can't have him back in my life not a hope x
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
Brave lady xcutiepiex, much better life out there for you, good luck to you and your dd.
Mason, I agree with Spidermam, I think sexting somebody is disrespectful, regardless of the circumstances you work it out in your head. And if you ask somebody to do something (a threesome) once, and they say no, no is no, simples.
Hey spiderman I'm good thanks. My ex and myself had fell back into a relationship but I was just waiting on him to do it again and he did so that was it for me. We friendly towards each other for the sake of dd as shes just started school so didn't want her to be all out of sorts. We are just trying to work out time for him to have dd thank u for asking I'm doing good not one bit upset x
OP sorry to hear about all you've been through. I've been through similar situation....discovered all this sexting and following that also discovered he was watching a lot of porn. I totally viewed it as cheating and threw him out. He fell to pieces - said he would never have physically done anything but was getting off on the thrill of it. He told me he felt disgusted by it and how he had behaved. It seems to be a form of addiction - but like all addiction that wasn't the real problem just an escape from the real issues. He went to counselling alone first and now we're going together. I'm not promising anything but things are so much better and he is working on repairing the damage. I don't know of I can forgive but I will try for the sale of dd. There's half of me thinks he cheated and that's that and another part of me thinking life is never black and white. Good luck making the right decision for you, x
Post Deleted Because: Deleted by RollerCoaster.ie Admin
This is an update we are still apart never to get back together again :-( Oh and Mason u make me sick
You might see it as a bit of fun and no harm but that just reduces infidelity to the physical act. If you talk to people who have been cheated on its not the sex that is the issue a lot of the time, its the deceit, the lack of respect, the breech of trust, those things are very hard to get back again. I hope for your sake you are able to knock this on the head Mason and find in your wife what you are looking for in other women. I feel very sorry for your wife and kids.
Wow..!! If anyone in a relationship is getting a thrill from texting someone else then clearly the person they are in a relationship with is not making them happy.!! This is crazy!! Its cheating end of story!
I think this is worse than a drunken roll in the hay. He's actively seeking out somebody else. As for the Xmas texts, I know of no parent that would want to be anywhere other than with their dc on Xmas. He obviously has as little respect for your dd as he has for you.
And Mason I'd love to know if your wife agrees with your stance on sexting.
Hi cutiepie . I am not going to be telling you if this is cheating or not - the best thing you can do is ask yourself what would you say to your best friend IF she came to you with similar question? The only thing I would say is that if you are trying to concieve, stop trying. As other girls said, it will only bring a new person - an innocent child - into the equasion. You don't need that regardless how much you want the baby. I am in a slightly different situation but i have a very little baby and it does change perspective. Mind yourself and good luck x x
Of course this is cheating!! You and your child deserve better, he is stalking a young girl, wrong!!! So wrong!!! Even if he never meets this person he is obviously into her, he is not thinking of you!! If your partner went out Saturday nite, got drunk and went home with a girl you'd obviously call this cheating!! What your partner is doing is much worse!! His head is not with you, leave him!
Lol Mason you have it so worng really ,
If your wife was sending sexual texts to any man no matter where he was , would you really be ok with it as its only texting ?
It is called a emotional affair ,
You may not be touching this person but you are connecting with them in a way that really you should be connecting to your partner
Now you might have lost your way on how to connect with your wife/ husband in this way but I am sure they would respond to flirty texts and the extra attention that you would be givening them .
You have put time and engergu into seeking someone else why not put that time into how to connect with your other half and feel the benifits of it !!
I just wanted to say that I have been there and it is bloody hard I know that. My husband has a full blown affair at the time in our relationship things where low , Very low !
My self asteam was rock bottom , My life was very much rock bottom and I was weak .
I stayed with my dh but it was hard and I mean bloody hard for over a year and allllloooot of councelling for me and then us as a couple ! It is 6 years down the road and honestly its really only in the last 8 months that I have felt comfortable in our relationship.
My life was so low for many reasons and unfortuneatly life events delayed me taking control of myself but I didnt give up . I took it in stages now I am a happy , comfortable , confident in my own skin .
I am not weak anymore + i know and he knows if needed I could live without him
I went from being a size 18 to a size 10 ( partly from a seriouse ilness i wont take all the credit) However I have kept and maintaned my size . It put a sprng back in mystep so my dh started to crave me because I was back to being me , not the person he met because i have grown up but the person I am now.
Auntiednwa Ya she could have but is not telln me that this girl is known for telling lies only for my friend who is her cousin been nosie on her facebook i wouldnt have known about any of this. Ya i think your advice is spot on i really think its about time that i look out for myself alright.
Thank you for taking the time to reply cos your message is hitting home for me
She could have possibly responded but on a whos this kinda thing but she was also concerned enough to notify someone to alert you. This will be easier said yhen done but taking yhe bull by the horns and doing a whole lifestyle change. You say your a big girl and have low self asteam well making it number 1 prority to loose the weight and build up your self asteam .you will be suprised at how you will enjoy yourself with new hobbies and making new friends how you will feel comfortable in your own company and if you get a wobbly day you can fall back on walking or running. This lifestyle change will stop you hiding behind this man on the fear uou wont find love againit will stop you hiding behind this man and being to comfortable with your insecuritys because he says there ok it will stop this man stepping all over you because your havibg a weak moment . Feelling confident sexy and happy in your own skin is very enpowering . So your choices are staying ss is now Or fighting for a happier future
I havent had a min to myself to think as iv had my lg with me hes ment to take her today but hasnt arrived
The ball is in your court - if you allow this to continue it will. Go for a walk somewhere quiet, have a think about where your life is now and where you want it to be, then make a plan to get there.
Auntiednwa i cried wen my friend first told me cos its her cousin who he was txtn she was our old neighbour. I think im still in shock really but i know i dont want him near me. He has admitted hes been txtn her and facebookn her told me she replyed 5 or 6 times but she says she never replyed to him. Hes in his mam and dads at the mo. And i dont trust him and i do believe theres more out there. Pinkyone i think tough love is what i need really. I totaly get what ur sayn. Ur right iv no selfesteem at all im a big girl i never have and this has been my longest relationship. I think as well i dont want to b lonely. Iv also to think about my lg.Im that hurt and confused my head hasnt stoped pounding :-(
Sorry to he harsh, but for whatever reason you and him just don't work, otherwise he wouldn't be trying his best to find other people to be involved with. This is the second person that you know of - there may be more.In my mind he isn't cheating, he has already left the relationship emotionally and is just waiting for someone else to enable him to do it physically.Do yourself a favour and get out of the relationship. You won't trust him for a long time, if ever. He will only have to pick up his phone or log into a computer and you'll be wondering why. You deserve better than that. You say you've been together 7 years? You could spend the next 3 years trying to sort it out, have another child and still be where you are now except you've wasted 10 years instead of 7 and have brought another life into the equation.Your self esteem is likely non existent at the moment so I would advise bailing out and concentrating on you for however long it takes to become confident with yourself and believe that you deserve to be with someone who unequivocally wants to be with you and doesn't need to seek attention elsewhere. Ps I've been through something similar, and I know how hard it is to walk away, and I know how overwhelming it is, but I also know exactly how worthwhile it is
btw what has he said about this ? Is he away at the moment ?
You probably have cried because you dont know how to feel about it because he says he hasn't slept with any of them . U in you in your head aee kinda thinking well its inoccemt enough and if he sees how hurt you are he will stop.1 you have given him a chance before amd these are tge only 2 u know about2 . Do you trust him enough to belive that he has not been sexually active withone but you. Even though he jas a very high sex drive and seeks strangers out for "harmless fun"
It makes u sick pammy im gonna find it hard to even look at him im so sick i havent cryed over it all x
Feel sick reading your Thread. You need space big big time.
Just wanna clear up we havent been able to get pregnant as im not ovulating at the min. I dont know if he watches much porn. I dont know wat to do or think right now its still so fresh now. Im wondering are there more out there :-( :'(
btw way just reading your last bit about his messaging a girl , I think you have way bigger issues on your hands then trust .
He sounds like he has a very unhealthy addiaction to seeking women or sex ,
Does he watch much porn ? would he have a sex addiction ?
Im hearing all that yas are saying and i just found out yday so i think i feel like its happening to someone else and not me at the moment. Its so hard to just say its over and move on wen you love someone and u were going to marry them wev been together nearly 7years. Dont get me wrong i do know how sick what he done is i really do and i just cant get my head around it all
I know if we do work it out there will b a lot that needs working on like trust and that is hard to gain it really is. im so confused here my head is pounding
Is he having an Affair - No
Is he seeking the possiblity to have and affair or no strings attached sex - YES YES YES
He is saying that it wont lead anywhere that he is getting off on it by just flirting , So what happens when he gets board of that and needs to raise the bar ?
He needs profesional help to be honest , This is not normal behavior
You need to stop ttc your relationship is not stable enough because he is not stable enough
He sounds a bit sick in the head if he is stalking this other poor woman! Imagine how it could be affecting her - getting unwanted text and Facebook messages. If I was on the receiving end of his unwanted messages I would contact the guards so there's no telling when your partner will get into trouble for what he is doing. It's disgusting IMO and you would do well to get him out of your life. He has no respect for you if he can do this. And as for your dd, imagine the shame for her if he is ever reported in the future for stalking women!
Thanks crisps he is an arse. Just wish ya could turn ur feelings off
Yvepar ya i feel totaly betrayed here. He says he wouldnt let it ever go that far he says he couldnt do that to me ya know. But i dont trust it at all. Maybe its a fetish he enjoys the trill it prob would have been more for him if she did reply to him.All i see with him is more of this as its not the first time im sure it wont b the lastx
Tbh I would consider this a complete betrayal. Has he said what he woul have done if this girl had replied. What if she had been willing to spend Xmas with him, and willing to have sex with him, would he have been unfaithful? If he says no he wouldnt would you believe him? Having a high sex drive is no excuse for pursuing other women. Is the texting some sort of fetish? I couldnt forgive it, but I thunk you really need to take a cold hard look at your future with this man.
Tinbin3 id prob wanna kill them for hurtn my little girl. I see it as cheating but he doesnt its the excitment of txtn someone else that gets him off x
Just seen ur post shivers. I asked him that lastnight but said he would be hurt but would want to work it out wit me
Also want to add that he told me he has a very high sex drive and gets off on the textn. We dont have that much sex as its uncomfortable for me x
But the texting will lead to more eventually. How would he feel if shoe was on the other foot? Would he be ok if you were texting other men? I doubt it.
Thanks shivers2 thats how i feel about it he doesnt c its cheating cos hes just textn her
He's stalking another girl he's done it before. Get out now he will continue to do this. Cheating is not only about sex.

Utah lawmakers met with Idaho legislators Monday, offering Idaho legal arguments they say could be used to gain control of about 30 million acres of federal land within the state that is mostly administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service. "The current structure is failing," Republican Rep. Keven Stratton or Orem, Utah, chair of a commission for the stewardship of public lands, told Idaho lawmakers. "We have to ask ourselves: Are we going to be ruled by fear or are we going to trust ourselves?" The Utah contingent, which included an attorney, made its presentation before the House Resources and Conservation Committee and the Senate Resources and Environment Committee. George Wentz, an attorney with the New Orleans-based Davillier Law Group, gave a legal argument that states are supposed to be equal. But he said states with large federal holdings are at a disadvantage to states in the East and as a result aren't being treated equally. He said that offers a legal lever for states such as Idaho and Utah to get control of federal land. However, Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden has said the state's constitution gave up claims to the land when Idaho joined the union. Other states entered the union in similar fashion. Rep. Linden Bateman, R-Idaho Falls, said he sensed that most of his fellow lawmakers favored state control of federal public land, but he sensed the opposite among Idaho residents. He said more information was needed to inform Idaho residents about how state control would work. Much of that fear, he said, centered on a potential loss of access to public land that is used by hunters, anglers and a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts in Idaho...more
A Republican opposes private property:
Rep. Ken Andrus, R-Lava Hot Springs, said that if Idaho did move
forward with trying to get control of federal public land, he'd want to
make sure it stayed public. "If we were to take control of the federal land within
our borders, it would be my idea to amend the Constitution that it could
never be sold off," he said.
Never fear, Rep. Andrus (wonder if he's related to former Interior Secretary Andrus), any potential legislative grant of federal lands to the state will contain a reverter clause, meaning if the land is not used for a public purpose, it will revert to the feds.
The state could do the same with it's lands, granting them to the private sector subject to an easement for public access.
In fact, there are many models out there and many chances for innovation, if the R's could just overcome their "fear" of non-government ownership and management.
Issues of concern to people who live in the west: property rights, water rights, endangered species, livestock grazing, energy production, wilderness and western agriculture. Plus a few items on western history, western literature and the sport of rodeo... Frank DuBois served as the NM Secretary of Agriculture from 1988 to 2003. DuBois is a former legislative assistant to a U.S. Senator, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Interior, and is the founder of the DuBois Rodeo Scholarship.

Due to consecutive failures in my 70-485 exam, I was all devastated and thought of changing my field as I felt that this is not my cup of tea. But then someone told me to give one last try of the 70-485 exam with Exam Papers and that I won't be disappointed for sure. I thought about it and gave one last try. The last try with Exam Papers for the 70-485 exam went successful as this site didn't put all the efforts to make things work for me. It didn't let me change my field as I cleared the paper.

Published 23 November 2006
Stephen James Walker became hooked on Doctor Who as a young boy, right from its debut season in 1963/64, and has been a fan ever since. He first got involved in the series' fandom in the early 1970s, when he became a member of the original Doctor Who Fan Club (DWFC). He joined the Doctor Who Appreciation Society (DWAS) immediately on its formation in May 1976, and was an attendee and steward at the first ever Doctor Who convention in August 1977. He soon began to contribute articles to fanzines, and in the 1980s was editor of the seminal reference work Doctor Who – An Adventure in Space and Time and its sister publication The Data-File Project. He also became a frequent writer for the official Doctor Who Magazine. Between 1987 and 1993 he was co-editor and publisher, with David J Howe and Mark Stammers, of the leading Doctor Who fanzine The Frame.

I Want The Title
What's in a name? Well, as some people may see it, EVERYTHING! If you call a woman a lady, then it's safe to say that she possesses those qualities that warrant that title: refined, good disposition, with no extra neck action when she's trying to get her point across. On the other hand, anything the opposite of that is….well, you get my drift. So does this same rule apply when it comes to our relationships? Does it matter what your title is so long as you are being appeased by your man? Does a title bring about particular expectations that not having one doesn't? Or is it safe to assume that if two people are involved, there are certain things that will automatically come with the territory? Continue reading

The invention relates to fiber Raman lasers, and more particularly to the production of short pulses in fiber Raman laser oscillators.
Fiber Raman lasers are described in the Handbook of Laser Science and Technology, Section 2: "Solid State Lasers", Subsection 2.4 "Fiber Raman Lasers", by R. H. Stolen and C. Lin, pages 265-273. A mode-locked YAG or Argon laser is used to synchronously pump a fiber, and the Raman effect in the fiber provides gain, in a fiber Raman oscillator. The output is shifted to the red; the pulse width is typically about the same as the pump pulse length for longer pump pulses while pulse broadening dominates for short pump pulses. By comparison, synchronously pumped dye lasers absorb light at one wavelength and emit light at another wavelength. When the dye absorbs a pump pulse, it emits a much shorter pulse. Thus with a 100 ps pump pulse it is possible to obtain 1 ps output pulses from a dye laser but it is not generally possible to obtain a shorter pulse from a fiber Raman oscillator. Shortening the pump pulse length to 1 ps will not produce subpicosecond pulse outputs in a fiber Raman oscillator since the fiber is dispersive and broadens the pulse; a typical 1OO m fiber produces many picoseconds of spreading or pulse broadening for a 1 ps pump pulse.
In order to prevent pulse spreading in a fiber Raman oscillator it is possible to operate near a single zero dispersion wavelength (about 1.57 microns) as demonstrated by M. N. Islam and L. F. Mollenauer at Bell Laboratories, IQEC 1986 Advance Program, page 45 and Lasers and Applications, May 1986, pages 66-67. However, this method imposes severe constraints of operating at a particular wavelength for which pump sources are not readily available and producing an output which may not match the desired application.
Another method of producing short pulses utilizes the pulse compression techniques of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 729,376 filed May 1, 1985. However, this method requires long fiber lengths and high pump power. Furthermore the output pulse characteristics are highly dependent on pump source intensity and pulse width.
Accordingly it is an object of the invention to produce short pulses at any color in a fiber Raman oscillator.
It is also an object to produce subpicosecond pulses at any color in a fiber Raman oscillator.
It is another object to produce output pulses which are shorter than pump pulses in a fiber Raman oscillator similar to that obtained from a synchronously pumped dye laser.
It is a further object to integrate as many components as possible into a simple oscillator design.
The invention is method and apparatus for generating subpicosecond pulses from a synchronously pumped fiber Raman oscillator by adding a dispersion compensating delay line. In a preferred embodiment, the oscillator is a ring oscillator which includes a 100 m optical fiber and the dispersive delay line is a grating pair. A tuning element, e.g., an interference filter, is also added to the oscillator to limit the oscillating bandwidth and thereby enhance short pulse generation. with a pumping source of CW mode-locked Nd:YAG laser emitting 80 ps pulses at 1064 nm fiber Raman oscillator pulses at 100 nm as short as 0.8 ps are obtained.
The fiber Raman laser is an ideal gain medium for a synchronously pumped source because of its high gain which allows the insertion of intercavity elements, including the dispersion compensating delay line and tuning element in accordance with the invention, and its gain bandwidth which is sufficient to support subpicosecond pulses. Group velocity dispersion (GVD) is a potential limit to the pulse width when short pulse propagates through the fiber. The invention uses the dispersive delay line to compensate for the GVD of the fiber, by adjusting the spacing between the grating pair to produce a GVD of the same magnitude but opposite sign to the GVD of the fiber. Thus in one complete round trip in the ring oscillator, the dispersion of the grating pair compensates for the dispersion of the fiber and pulse broadening does not occur. The addition of the dispersive delay line allows the fiber Raman oscillator to support short pulses at any wavelength. Since the gain of the fiber is broadband the tuning element is included in the oscillator to restrict the bandwidth to a range necessary for the short pulse widths. For synchronous pumping by the pump source the length of the fiber ring oscillator must be accurately controlled to match the round trip time of the oscillator to an integer multiple of the pump pulse separation, e.g., 40. A temporal delay element such as a translatable prism is included in the oscillator to adjust path lengths. Polarization reconstruction elements can be included in the oscillator to change polarization as required.
In an alternate embodiment, a dispersion compensated fiber Raman oscillator is constructed solely from optical fibers and optical fiber couplers. Compensating dispersion is provided by transfer between two fibers in a coupler or two cores in a two core fiber.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a dispersion compensated fiber Raman ring oscillator.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of an embodiment using only optical fibers and optical fiber couplers.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a two core fiber used in the embodiment of FIG. 2.
In one preferred embodiment, shown in FIG. 1, a dispersion compensated fiber Raman oscillator 10 is made up of a ring oscillator 12 synchronously pumped by a pumping source 14. The ring oscillator 12 includes an optical fiber 16. A dichroic beamsplitter 18 forms a part of ring oscillator 12 and allows pulses from pumping source 14 to be input into the ring into the optical fiber 16. The output from the optical fiber 16 passes through a dispersive delay line (compensating dispersion means) 20, a temporal delay means 22, and a tuning element 24. The pulses in the ring oscillator 12 are then incident on mirror 26 which forms the output coupler (e.g., 20% reflecting, 80% transmitting at 1100 nm) for the ring oscillator. The portion of the pulses reflected by mirror 26 passes through polarization reconstruction means 28 to reset the polarization of the pulses as desired and is then incident on beamsplitter 18 which directs the pulses back into fiber 16. The elements are thus arranged in a ring configuration, with additional mirrors or other recirculation means where necessary, so that pulses make continuous passes around the ring. However, the principle of the invention can be applied to any fiber Raman oscillator configuration.
The pumping source 14 in a preferred embodiment is a CW mode-locked Nd:YAG laser emitting 80 pulses at 1064 nm. Pumping source 14 synchronously pumps optical fiber 16, i.e., pulses from source 14 coincide with pulses passing around ring oscillator 12 on each round trip. Only a single pulse can be travelling around the ring or multiple pulses. An 8W Spectra-Physics Model 3000 CW Modelocked Nd:YAG laser operated at 80 MHz pulse rate is used, but the pulse rate can be varied typically from 1 MHz to 100 MHz depending on the fiber length and the number of pulses in the oscillator. Laser powers of 2-5 W can typically be used. Any mode locked source including mode locked Argon lasers, mode locked dye lasers, or synchronously pumped cavity dumped dye lasers. By eliminating losses in the oscillator, lower power lasers could also be used, e.g., 100 mW diode pumped YAG lasers. The pulses from source 14 are input into the ring oscillator through dichroic beamsplitter 18 which is highly transmissive at 1064 nm but highly reflective at 1100 nm. The source 14 may be directly aligned or additional mirrors may be used to direct the pulses into the ring.
The optical fiber 16 in a preferred embodiment is 100 m of single mode non-polarization preserving fiber. The fiber exhibits a high gain through the Raman effect for pulses travelling around the ring oscillator and pumped by synchronous pulses from pumping source 14. A pair of lenses 30, e.g., microscope objectives, are positioned at the ends of fiber 16 for focusing into the fiber and collimating. For the synchronous pumping condition to be satisfied, the roundtrip time around the oscillator must be matched. The roundtrip time is approximately matched by selecting the proper length of fiber (with more accurate adjustment performed by temporal delay means 22). In a preferred embodiment, with a pulse rate of 80 MHz, the pulses are spaced about 2.5 m in the fiber, so that 40 pulses are travelling around the 100 m fiber oscillator. In general a wide range of fiber lengths can be used; however, in combination with dispersive delay line 20 fibers 80-130 m are preferred and 90-110 m are more preferred at present.
The dispersive delay line 20 is the dispersion correcting means of the invention which allows short (subpicosecond) pulses of any color to be obtained from the fiber Raman oscillator. In a preferred embodiment the dispersive delay line 20 is a pair of parallel gratings in which the spacing is changed to provide a group velocity dispersion which is of substantially the same magnitude (preferably slightly larger) but of the opposite sign of the group velocity dispersion of the fiber 16 so that in a roundtrip through the ring oscillator 12 the effects compensate or cancel out. A single pass grating pair, a double pass grating pair, or a prism pair can be used. An example of a preferred grating is a 1700 line gold coated holographic diffraction grating available from American Holographic, Acton, Mass. With this grating and a 100 m fiber, an 0.3 inch grating spacing is used. Dispersive interferometers or atomic vapors could also be used. In the two parallel gratings it is advantageous to pass through, step up slightly and pass back through since this doubles the temporal effects but cancels any spatial spreading of the beam. This double pass technique is similar to that described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 729,376, filed May 1, 1985 which is herein incorporated by reference. As previously described, the fibers can be of various lengths; at the lower end the fiber cannot be too short for enough gain while at the longer end the fiber cannot be too long that compensation becomes impossible (which may occur because the effects are not completely linear). Longer fibers require longer grating spacings. In present embodiments, fiber lengths of 80-130 m and preferably 90-110 m can be compensated.
Temporal delay means 22 are used to satisfy the pumping synchronization condition. Although the fiber length can be roughly matched to the pumping frequency, matching to 100 microns is required. The temporal delay means 22 is a means to vary the path length in the oscillator without disturbing the beam. A preferred embodiment uses a movable prism mounted on a stepper motor so the path length can be changed while the beam orientation is unaffected.
Tuning element 24 is also an important element of the invention and is used to restrict the bandwidth to a desired range for high quality short pulses. Thus according to the invention, tuning element 24 is used as a bandwidth limiting tuning means. Because of the broadband gain of the fiber, the laser can oscillate over many wavelengths which produces noise and poor pulse quality. The turning element is not used exclusively in the conventional manner to obtain single wavelength, but for a range of wavelengths which provide good pulse quality and short pulse width. In order to obtain short pulse widths it is necessary that a range of wavelengths, and not just a single wavelength, be present. In a preferred embodiment, the tuning element 24 is a bandpass filter which is adjusted by tilting its angle. Tilting the bandpass filter changes the bandpass. A suitable bandpass filter is a 10 nm bandpass filter centered at 1125 nm available from Horiel Corporation, Stratford, Conn. Other tuning elements that can be used include birefringent filters, prisms, gratings, or etalons.
Polarization reconstruction means 28 are used to reset the polarization before the pulses go back into the loop. A pair of conventional waveplates, e.g., a quarter-wave and a half-wave plate or other combinations, can be used; the waveplates are rotated to produce the right polarization. Because of twists and bends in the fiber, the polarization of the pulse is changed. Additional polarization reconstruction means can be placed at other positions in the ring as desirable, e.g., polarization reconstruction means 32 before the dispersive delay line 20 to provide linear polarization for the gratings. Suitable waveplates are available from Virgo Optics, Port Richie, Fla.
An alternative integrated embodiment of the ring resonator of the invention which eliminates the individual discrete components is shown in FIG. 2. In the embodiment of FIG. 1 the losses are high, up to 99%, but the high gain of the fiber is sufficient. However, by decreasing the losses a lower power pumping source can be used, e.g., a 100 mW diode pumped YAG laser. The integrated dispersion compensated fiber Raman oscillator 40 utilizes a two port optical fiber coupler 42 which has two input ports 44, 46 and two output ports 48, 50. One output port 48 is connected to one input port 46 by optical fiber 52 to form a loop. The pumping pulses are input through port 44 and output is removed through port 50. The large losses at the dichroic mirror are thus eliminated. Coupler 42 has the property that light at one wavelength (the Raman oscillator frequency), i.e., 1100 nm, is strongly coupled so that after the pulses have made one pass around the loop they are coupled back to the start of the loop, i.e., pulses returning to port 46 are coupled to and output from port 48. A portion of the pulse is output at port 50. The pumping pulses, i.e., 1064 nm, make one pass around the loop and are not coupled so they pass through port 50 after the single pass. The temporal delay is provided by accurately determining the length of the fiber and also by adjusting the laser repetition rate to match the fiber length. The polarization is taken care of by using polarization preserving fibers. The delay line and tuning are provided by using two core fibers or by using a second coupler. In the case of the two core fiber, fiber 52 is made of cores 54 and 56 which are closely spaced, as shown in FIG. 3. One core 56 is lossy at certain wavelengths (which are coupled between the cores) and the laser is operated at wavelengths that do not bridge the gap between cores 54 and 56, i.e. the desired wavelength range. In the alternate embodiment a second coupler 58 is provided in the loop where the desired wavelengths do not couple across while the undesired wavelengths couple across and are eliminated. The coupler 42 and optional coupler 58 also have the proper dispersion effects to compensate for the dispersion effects in fiber 52, i.e. coupling at different wavelengths (red and blue) is different so that compensating delays for the fiber dispersion are produced.
Changes and modifications in the specifically described embodiments can be carried out without departing from the scope of the invention which is intended to be limited only by the scope of the appended claims.

Armenian Fuel Cell Makers Get Down To Business
Մարտ 07, 2002
By Emil Danielyan
Armenian researchers developing fuel cells, a cutting-edge technology to convert hydrogen and oxygen into energy, have embarked on a commercialization of their products, samples of which have already been sent to potential buyers. Their newly created company will seek to lure investors in the United States where fuel cells are increasingly viewed as the most viable alternative to fossil fuels.

The company called H2 ECOnomy was formally registered last week. It is owned by SolarEn International Corporation, a high-tech business incubator set up two years ago by an Armenian-American investor.
"We have developed our know-how, it's time to think about making money," H2 ECOnomy's general manager, Agassy Manoukian, told RFE/RL this week.
"We already have a pilot-scale production and are now looking for investors to put the manufacturing process on a larger scale," said Vahe Odabashian, the company's vice-president responsible for product promotion and sales.
The hunt for U.S. venture capital is now on, the two men said. H2 ECOnomy's business plan envisages to attract some $2.5 million in investments in the next five years. The figure may be modest by American standards, but finding investors willing to venture into the still underdeveloped realm of fuel cells is a daunting task. The environmentally-friendly technology, touted as "the hydrogen future" of the world, is still far from being commercialized because of its high costs and availability of cheap oil and natural gas.
But things are beginning to look up as more and more Western multinationals, mindful of the eventual depletion of the earth's hydrocarbon reserves, become interested in the subject. This is particularly true for U.S., European and Japanese car-makers. The giants like General Motors, Ford and DaimlerChrysler have massive fuel-cell development programs. Japan's Honda moved one step ahead of them this week, announcing plans to start sales of hydrogen-powered cars in the U.S. next year.
Last month the U.S. auto-makers got a big boost from the administration of President George W. Bush which pledged to subsidize research and development of such vehicles. Bush's "Freedom Car" initiative is seen as part of a broader effort to reduce America's dependence on Middle Eastern oil.
"As an investor, the time to be involved in fuel cells and hydrogen is now," Andrew Bermingham, a top executive from the U.S. venture capital firm Hydrogenica Partners, told an online technology news service last week. Hydrogenica has already funded several fuel cell startups.
These developments should be a good news for Armenia's H2 ECOnomy as well. Although its current energy devices are not designed for cars, it hopes that increased spending on the hydrogen technology will spur global demand in all fuel cell products.
"The demand is there," Manoukian said. "Many firms are getting involved in fuel cell production and will increasingly need assembly components."
Some of them have already received product samples from Armenia and are said to be interested in their continued supplies.
The technological process of the new way of power generation is quite simple. Hydrogen is fed into a fuel cell before two electrodes placed inside the latter cause its atoms to split into electrons and protons. The electrons create a separate current that can be utilized before they are reunited with the hydrogen protons and oxygen. Their fusion into a molecule of water generates heat.
The system thus produces energy in the form of electricity and heat. It typically contains several fuel cells that are put together in a "stack." The only emission it creates is water.
The technology's principal disadvantage is that hydrogen is still far more expensive than the traditional energy sources. The invisible gas is mainly obtained from hydrocarbons and water - a chemical process which itself requires a lot of energy.
There already exist experimental models of fuel cell-powered vehicles, portable electronics items, vending machines and even road signs. The fuel cells can also feed a whole power plant.
The devices offered for sale by H2 ECOnomy have a 50 Watt capacity, enough to plug in a laptop computer. Manoukian, a 30-year-old graduate of the University of Toledo in Ohio, said the company is now exploring the possibility of manufacturing fuel cells tailored for scooters.
In addition to producing fuel cell stacks and their separate parts, the Armenian startup is working on other supporting devices. It has already sold 15 "DC/DC converters" in the U.S. which allow users to adjust electricity voltage from fuel cells for their portable appliances. Also, H2 ECOnomy is currently assembling, on order, a computerized "test station" used for the evaluation of fuel cells' operational parameters.
"I'm sure that once we get production going we won't have problems selling it," said Odabashian, arguing that substantially lower production costs give H2 ECOnomy a crucial advantage over its potential competitors in the West.
This will be a key argument cited by the company's American president, Serge Adamian, in his search for investors. Success of that endeavor will allow his firm, which currently employs only ten people, to hire between 30 and 40 new Armenian specialists. Based in the U.S., Adamian frequently shuttles between his Los Angeles and Yerevan offices. He also manages operations of other SolarEn divisions. They all have been financed by Gerard Cafesjian, a U.S billionaire of Armenian origin.
According to the H2 ECOnomy executives, who regularly attend specialized conferences in Europe and the U.S., Western fuel cell makers are unusually secretive about their plans, anxious not to reveal any details of their technology. "In this business it's very hard to protect your know-how against copyright violations," Manoukian explained. "This is what hampers the commercialization of this kind of products."
"Everybody is waiting for something to happen," he said.

Review for Brigade Air, Inc., Bloomingdale, NJ, USA
I spent a week learning the basics of flight and getting some hands on flight time. It was my first experience flying, and one that I will never forget. It was amazing to fly over northern Maine and see God's incredible creation. I would encourage anyone to participate in a flight camp with Brigade Air.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Ever since my flight camp experience with Brigade Air I have been interested in flying. I hope that sometime in the future I will be able to earn my pilot's license. If it weren't for Brigade Air I probably never would have gotten interested in flying.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would make it more accesible to more people. It is an incredible program, and one that everyone should be able to enjoy.

Answers to Clear content in xml brackets in all files in directory tree on Windows using Strawberry Perl and twig ( 2 )
UPDATE With just
flushchanged to
However, I still recommend the code below, either version.
Note Both versions below were tested with two groups of valid XML files. Replaced
lootis simplified -- remove it altogether and then add it back, empty.
XML::Twig->new(...)is set first and then files looped over and processed, I get the same behavior. The first file is processed correctly, the others completely blanked.
The reason may have something to do with
newbeing a class method. However, I don't see why this needs to affect handling of multiple files. The callback is installed outside of the loop, but I've tested with it being re-installed for each file and it doesn't help.
flush-ing isn't needed while it may well hurt here, by clearing the state (which was created by the class method
new). This doesn't affect code below, but it is still replaced by
Then just do everything in the loop. A simple version
use strict; use warnings; use File::Find::Rule; use XML::Twig; my @files = File::Find::Rule->file->name('*.xml')->in('...'); foreach my $file (@files) { print "Processing $file\n"; my $t = XML::Twig->new( pretty_print => 'indented', twig_handlers => { loot => sub { my $parent = $_->parent; # fetch parent $_->delete; # delete element $parent->insert_new_elt('loot', ''); # create new, empty }, }, ); $t->parsefile_inplace($file)->print; }
The callback code is simplified, to remove the element altogether and then add it back, empty.
We can avoid calling
newin the loop by using another class method,
nparse. Also, the code for emptying the element is now moved into a sub, and does not need its name hardcoded.
my $t = XML::Twig->new( pretty_print => 'indented' ); foreach my $file (@files) { print "Processing $file\n"; my $tobj = XML::Twig->nparse( twig_handlers => { loot => \&clear_elt }, $file ); $tobj->parsefile_inplace($file)->print; } sub clear_elt { my ($t, $elt) = @_; my $elt_name = $elt->name; # get the name my $parent = $elt->parent; # fetch the parent $elt->delete; # remove altogether $parent->insert_new_elt($elt_name, ''); # add it back }
We do have to first call the
newconstructor, even as it isn't directly used in the loop.
Note that calling
newbefore the loop without
twig_handlersand then setting handlers inside
$t->setTwigHandlers(loot => sub { ... });
does not help. We still only get the first file processed correctly.
The XML::Twig doc says that "Multiple twigs are not well supported" (http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Twig/Twig.pm#TODO). If you look at the state of the twig object (using Data::Dumper for example) you see a strong difference between the first and subsequent runs. It looks like it considers that is has been totally flushed already (which is true, as there was a complete flush during the first run). It probably has nothing more to print for the subsequent files and the file ends up empty.
Recreating the twig object at each loop worked for me:
#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use File::Find::Rule; use XML::Twig; sub delete_loot { my ( $twig, $loot ) = @_; foreach my $loot_entry ( $loot -> children ) { $loot_entry -> delete; } } foreach my $file ( File::Find::Rule -> file() -> name ( '*.xml' ) -> in ( '/home/dabi/tmp' ) ) { print "Processing $file\n"; my $twig = XML::Twig -> new ( pretty_print => 'indented', twig_handlers => { loot => \&delete_loot, } ); $twig -> parsefile($file); $twig -> print_to_file($file); }
Also, I had to change the XML file structure to have it processed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <monster name="Dragon"> <health value="10000"/> <immunities> <immunity fire="1"/> </immunities> <loot> <item id="1"/> <item id="3"> <inside> <item id="6"/> </inside> </item> </loot> </monster>

No More Daughters, a novel spanning over 100 years and six generations and The Cloud Who Changed Forever, a book of encouragement for dreamers of all ages.
I'm not sure what I spent my time on so far this year, but I just noticed it was NOT posting on my website! January 1st? It couldn't have been that long ago…! But the internet NEVER lies. My life must be awfully barren… like this bleak landscape
Yet what if I take a closer look? Actually I could tell the landscape was alive, just not with anything I could recognize or want to get too close to. This was a weed if ever I saw one. Something I wouldn't want to eat and risk dying from some mysterious plant poison or even touch and get a rash that could eat off my flesh.
It took my COURAGEOUS curiosity to take that closer look. I've heard of enough things lately far more dangerous than a stationary growth in my backyard to know I couldn't be too careful wherever I was or not expect the worst from whatever I saw no matter how insignificant or innocent it might appear. Sort of like my seemingly lackluster activities so far in 2015, though I'm certain I've been busy. Something to reflect a bit closer on too I suppose before I instantly make negative judgments.
Oh my, what a discovery! Beautiful and rare, generating envy from those who have enough experience to know what things truly are. It's a native Brown Peony. It can't be cultivated or mass-produced. It grows and blossoms when, where, and exactly how it knows to… just like me… and you.
PS: Take a closer look. See its little buds ready to open and amaze!
That's right, you decided what it means. You decide what it shows, what it communicates.
I love this picture. Every time I look at it, a new word pops into my head and I relate to what I see in it in a brand new way. Pictures, like words are important, especially when they appear separate and apart. Without other distractions they can convey a distinct yet different emotion with each viewing, whether by different people or by the same person seeing it over and over again.
The first time I saw this picture words did not enter my mind. The emotions I felt could not be labeled. I think what I was feeling was awe. I looked again and then again, and then the words began to come. Happiness, nature, freedom, beauty, purity, exhilaration, celebration, gratitude, wonder, thrill, delight, blessed, bliss. The first time I looked at this picture the last word that came into my mind to describe what it meant to me was GIFT.
You see, the person that you can't really identify in this picture is my younger brother, and he passed away unexpectedly this November. His life was a difficult one, filled with challenges, and I believed a lot of sorrow and disappointment. Right after his death I spoke with his best friend and asked him if he had a recent picture of my brother since mine were pretty old. He said he'd look. I said I would appreciate whatever he could find.
A week later when he handed me this photo I suppose the truth is that a feeling did immediately come to me – SHOCK! It was after the shock passed that words and feelings flooded me then and continue to each time I look at this picture. Sometimes my reaction is one I've already had and sometimes a new word or feeling emerges, but the one that continues to occur every time I see or think of it now is GIFT.
What I was given was not a photograph. I received the gift of confirmation that at least for one moment my brother was filled with indescribable joy. This gift will live in my heart and my life, with my memories of him, forever. Now it's your gift too and the person experiencing this ECSTASY can be you.
Happy New Year!
Autumn's Rainbow Nymph
Where did summer go? The better question is what were BLOSSOM and I doing all summer? It obviously wasn't writing. Since my last post w-a-y back on The 4th of July, I thought I was busy, though I couldn't prove it. I set writing goals. My deadlines came and went. I had great new blog ideas ready to crank out. At this moment I can't remember any of them. I suppose I just wasn't inspired enough, so BLOSSOM had no alternative but to go dormant for the season too.
Being a Master Gardener I know that's not the time to slack off. Summer is the time for planting, pruning, and popping. Time for growth and major change. And that's what happened, just without my participation. Not only did my writing stop, but so did my gardening. It's a good thing Mother Nature didn't wait around for me to give her a hand. She POPPED up everywhere without any help from me. I was aware enough to notice the changes and I did marvel at all HER energy. I just didn't have any of my own or as I often told myself, "I didn't find the perfect idea today." Not an idea to put on paper or flower to cut or weed to pull. Now that's pretty barren!
I felt like I did years ago when I first got the idea for BLOSSOM. I was at a low point in my life then. It was February and I sat alone in a mountain cabin at 10,000 feet looking out at nothing but a barren cold white landscape. I thought, "In a few months this lifeless scene will be a green meadow covered with every color of wildflower imaginable. It will be filled with birds and critters and amazing sounds, smells, and activity. How does Mother Nature do that, and since SHE does it for the wild world would she do it for me?" Life eventually returned to the mountain and to me and BLOSSOM was a new part of that returning life.
That's how I felt this summer, except instead of lifelessness, I was surrounded by an explosion of life, none of which I had a hand in, at least not this summer. Maybe Mother Nature was trying to show me what is possible. Flowers grew in abundance where they'd never been before. Hummingbirds appeared in greater numbers and butterflies fluttered everywhere. As summer came to an end I realized I'd seen an example of how life goes on whether I decide to be part of it or not.
That realization still wasn't enough motivation. What was I waiting for? Why the Autumn Rainbow Nymph of course!
My landscape had turned brown and the overcast sky yielded neither rain nor snow. Inspiration was still rare. Then I woke up, LITERALLY. My bedroom window faces the mountains and a deep green forest. One morning when I opened my eyes, right in the middle of that view I saw a rainbow. It was coming out of the trees so close I thought I could touch it. I raced for my iPhone to document the sight before it vanished, then raced outside to get a clearer photo and better viewpoint. And there she was – right at the base of the rainbow! Talk about "a pot of gold". This image is more than a "sign" to me. It's a "blessing". With her star wand christening the changing season with a rainbow, I SAW and FELT a change in the air and in ME. What grows and BLOSSOMs in the winter? I DO. Keep reading my blogs and see me bloom like a Christmas Cactus!

Unanswered: Replication fails each time databases are restored.
I seem to have this ongoing issue with Sybase Replication. We're using Replication Server 15.5 with ASE 15.5 on Windows 2008 platform. Here's the issue:
We frequently perform restore of our databases (both primary and replicate) in our development environment. This is a requirement for an ongoing development. I do an sp_stop_rep_agent on both my primary and replicate databases, do a suspend log transfer from all, on my replication server, and then perform the restore.
But the problem is, even after that I start the rep agent, resume log transfer, the replication either the dsi or the rep agent doesn't come up, sometimes on the primary and sometimes on the replicate server.
All my repdefs and subs are there, but somehow I have noticed that the connections from either of the db server to the replication server gets dropped after the restore. So I have to drop all the repdefs and subs and the connections, and then recreate all of them. Its fine after that, till I perform another restore.
Can anyone please let me know why this keeps on happening? and perhaps suggest where am I going wrong.

New colorways of the Nike Air Max 90 are never a bad thing, especially when summer time rolls around. The sunny days mean you can rock them without fear of busting them up, and a pair of shorts is a great combo with this classic 90's runner. Check out this new colorway in a Sport Red/White/Navy set up, a combination that has some pop to it but doesn't go overboard on the colors just for the sake of standing out. The contrast of the white and red that hits all over this leather Nike Air Max 90 works really well, making this a super clean shoe from Nike Sportswear. Check out some more pictures after the jump and hit up Sneaker Bistro to grab a pair.

If he could do that, his paintings might be a form of photography, achieved not with film and chemicals, but with the human hand. Vermeer's paintings might be 350 year-old color photographs."

In recent years there has been an explosion of interest in the area of worship. I not only applaud this movement, but have also been deeply invested in it, as I believe that worship is the primary call for both individual followers of Jesus and for the Church as the Body of Christ in the world today. For most of my adult life, I have leveraged my gifts, passions and experiences to help shape dynamic worship environments, believing that corporate worship not only catalyzes but also fuels the People of God to live out their call and mission of God in their everyday lives.
While we have seen a great resurgence of interest in worship, unfortunately this renewed focus has also brought with it an extremely negative consequence – the culture of worship in the Church today is producing consumers of worship rather than participants in worship. As important and valuable as our worship gatherings are, my premise is this: true worship must extend beyond the walls of the corporate gathering and flow into our everyday, ordinary lives.
While there are many ways to describe and define worship, building upon a framework developed by Alexander Schmemann, I define worship as "offering our lives back to God for the life of the world." This understanding of worship incorporates the genius of the "both/and" – it values both the liturgy of Sunday and the liturgy that must include our everyday, ordinary lives throughout the other six days of the week.
My current project is a book on worship with a working title of A Movable Feast: Worship for the Other Six Days. My intention for this project is to empower people to engage in a lifestyle of worship, a life marked by a deep love for God, others and the world.

Tested this morning at 10 DPO and got a BFN, but...I dunno. I dont FEEL pregnant, but for some reason have a feeling about this cycle. I guess we will see. If I get a positive on Friday at 12 DPO I am going to go in and get a blood test to confirm it, and then on Easter I will be announcing it to my family since they all already know we are trying. The in-laws...well we are probably going to wait until we hear the heart beat before we tell them, so they dont find out we are trying. DH has a feeling he is going to have to yell at his mom for being rude when we tell them we are...so keeping it from them as long as possible!
I got this idea from my friend. Im going to pass out a jelly bean to everyone and when Ive got everyones attention say, this is in honor of our little bean. lol. I just thought that was such a cute idea!
SO hopefully I get my BFP this cycle. I feel quite a bit more relaxed then last. I dont feel prego, but I did have a sudden emotional moment. I was BAWLING over the latest House episode when they killed off a character, but I didnt really like his character all that much anyways, so normally I would not have cried over this. I was SOBBING. LOL. It was ridiculous. So either I just had a weird moment that has never happened in my life, OR Im prego. I guess time will tell. Testing on Friday and if negative, testing on both Saturday AND Sunday as Im hoping to get a positive before seeing the family on Easter. (hopefully Ill get a pos before Sunday because I wont be able to get a blood test on Sunday....
Oh and as far as my health goes. Every single blood test that they have done has come back normal. CBC came back abnormal the first time and normal the second time. They are sending me to a rhemetologist, and I still am supposed to go get x rays, but I have to wait till my period shows, HOPEFULLY IT WONT!!!!

Command blocks can be used as custom mob spawners with the 1.7 development snapshots!
You need mods to obtain mob spawners in Vanilla Minecraft. But now in the 1.7 snapshots, you can make a command block that acts just like a mob spawner!
Here's how to do it!
/give <playername> 137to give yourself a Command Block. Then, place the Command Block and enter this as the command for it:
/summon Zombie ~0 ~2 ~0
Then connect a timer to the command block, and each time it receives a signal it will spawn a Zombie 2 blocks above the Command Block!
This can also be done using a Command Block Minecart as well. Enter that command, and have powered Activator Rails along the track, and each time the Minecart goes over the Activator Rail, a mob will spawn!

In an effort to make online shopping easier, Facebook is beginning to roll out a feature that will allow members to log in to an e-commerce site with their Facebook profiles and pay with credit card information stored on the platform.
First announced in August, the social network began testing its mobile payments platform with a closely-tied partner, Thrillist's JackThreads. The company was a good match for the test because of its audience's interest in video games — many gamers have already handed over their credit card data to Facebook.
According to AllThingsD, Facebook is now slowly making the product public. Through a partnership with PayPal, Stripe, and Braintree, an "Autofill with Facebook" button will appear on JackThreads' and Mosaic's iOS apps starting this week and in other mobile shopping apps in the near future.
With this functionality, a consumer can tap the button and import payment information already stored within Facebook into the app he or she is using. This makes it much more likely that this person will complete a sale — the more steps there are, the less likely a customer is to complete the conversion process.
Essentially Facebook is making it easier to find new customers. The social network can now pitch advertisers on the fact that Facebook Ads can be used to drive new customers to mobile purchases, which are easier than ever to complete. The tricky part will be convincing consumers (non-gamers) that it's safe to store their credit card data with Facebook.
