If you see a stranger... | When two particles collide Ahh, glee is in the air as Geneva's atom smasher set new record today Geneva atom smasher sets collision record - Yahoo! News CERN - the European Organization for Nuclear Research I am pretty certain this is a big deal, but I'm not quite sure why. Could someone please explain the point of particle collisions, and the practicle possibilites that now have everyone in an uproar. |

| Re: When two particles collide Well, part of the answer to your question is in the body of the news story itself: Quote:
As for the fears for micro black holes... those, from my understanding, exist all the time anyway, and most likely throughout the universe (including here on Earth), but are of such brief duration and the effects of them are so weak, that any "threat" is completely negligible. | |

Christmas Dragon | Re: When two particles collide Yeah, I just about an hour ago or so caught this on CNN. It really is big news. Of course, also imagine the energy that must've been released when they collided. It might not seem like all that much in the broad scheme of things, but proportionately, it would be equal to that of a supernova-and we all know what sort of effect an exploding star has on any other celestial bodies close enough to it. |

resident pedantissimo | Re: When two particles collide I suppose saying they do it to annoy me personally would be a touch egotistical? They've mucked up all the tram schedules this weekend, and I have a friend to see in St. Genis; we usually meet up in the CERN carpark, but they've chosen Easter weekend to close things down, and divert trams. And I can't even complain to my friendly local physicist; he's gone home to Scandinavia. Supernova or not, they've got the target area at a degree and a bit absolute, to keep the magnets superconducting; that doesn't speak for many ergs of energy escaping, Very intense indeed, but terribly small to be feeding all those megawatts into. One of the secondary holes going down through France to the tunnel is called "Alice" |

| Re: When two particles collide You know, I've only just realised that the Higgs Boson is called the God Particle because it's all to do with Mass.... (Yes, I can be really slow picking things up sometimes. ) |

If you see a stranger... | Re: When two particles collide I guess I need more tutelage about the Big Bang theory and what is likely to occur(or what all occured yesterday), exactly, and what it will mean for the future peoples of the world. Where does it go from here? Antimatter, what is it exactly? Higgs boson? |

| Re: When two particles collide Higgs Boson To greatly simplify things (if only so that I can understand it): Scientists are looking for a mechanism to explain mass (which we experience as weight, because we live in Earth's gravitational field). One proposed mechanism is the Higgs Field. Finding the associated Higgs boson would go a long way to showing that this idea is valid.From Wiki: Quote:

If you see a stranger... | Re: When two particles collide So a photon doesn't have mass. (How do we know? Gravity?) So the Higgs boson (a particle in thoery) would give mass to particles, such as the photon? How? And if it gives mass to photons, wouldn't the photon have mass? |

Christmas Dragon | Re: When two particles collide No, as far as I understand light, does NOT have mass. Therefore, light is somehow able to travel at the speeds it can and not shatter the laws of physics. But that's another story, I suppose. They're also trying to prove the existence of the fourth dimension in this way. The only way THAT can happen is first by measuring the amount of energy within the conductor or whatever this thing is. (Early morning for me and a little bit high on pain meds. Bear with me.) One part of the theory of relativity is that energy can NOT be created or destroyed-only transferred. So, the way to go about proving the fourth dimension is, they get these particles to collide, like they already did, and if the energy readings drop at all, then they figure that proves the fourth dimension, since such energy would have no way of escaping on our dimension out of wherever the particles collided. Another fun bit of info there. Now I guess we just have to sit back and wait until they crack the mysteries of time and find a way to jump into THAT stream. Michael Crighton's novel Timeline still comes to mind with that one, though..... |

Christmas Dragon | Re: When two particles collide No, actually, because I believe it would take far more to prove the theory of relativity wrong. I personally think it's wrong anyway, but I don't have a degree in quantum physics, so I really have no idea. I think it would take something earthshattering-and I do mean that almost literally-to prove the theory of relativity wrong-such as any object with mass travelling at full warp speed, or any creature or object going through time. Of course, I don't really understand the time barrier part-except that supposedly time controls all motion-but it's said that if an object's or creature's mass gains the faster it goes, and if said object or creature were to accelerate to warp speed, then its mass would equal that of the universe. I find that a little hard to believe but that's what the physicists are claiming, even now. Of course, they also claim that it is THEORETICALLY possible to travel lightyears upon lightyears away from any given destination instantaneously. How? Supposedly time and space are malleable, much like a sheet of cloth or, better yet, a sheet of paper. Now imagine the universe as a sheet of basic college-ruled writing paper. There's some considerable distance proportionately from one side to the other. But, fold that paper in half, and the distance between the two sides is down to as close to zero as it can be. Like I said, though, such travel is still only theoretical at this point..... Or am I merely making a fool of myself tonight? |

| Re: When two particles collide I suppose it's worth noting that this week's experiment: a) will take days/months/years to analyse: there are literally billions of particles generated and maybe only a few will be "interesting" and they don't have any way of quickly finding the good ones amongst the ordinary ones b) they're still only operating at relatively low power (compared to maximum available) so we're unlikely to see the really rare stuff till they've done more at this level, powered it all down, done some more maintenance and finally started firing at maximum. |

| Re: When two particles collide So, folks have been throwing terms around like the Chefs throw food at Beni-hanas. Here is a fairly accurate description of the current understanding that most physicists agree upon. Now, what is not mentioned here is the crazy half-sister of the standard model: String theory. Essentially, the notion of string theory is that all of these particles both mass-less, and massed, are composed of tiny vibrating bits of energy. The issue is that the strings would be so un-measurably small (Planck length = 1.616252 x 10−35 meters about 10 to the power of 20 times smaller than the size of a proton) That we have no hope of seeing a string anytime soon. CERN - The Standard Model What physicists have seen are some of the missing pieces of the standard model. Here is a proposed example of the standard model puzzle: http://web.infn.it/superb/images/sto..._fermi_lab.jpg For example, with existing particle colliders, they have seen anti-electrons" (AKA positrons), and plenty of others. Clues to the early Universe The Universe has changed a great deal in the 13.7 billion years since the Big Bang, but the basic building blocks of everything from microbes to galaxies were signed, sealed and delivered in the first few millionths of a second. This is when the fundamental quarks became locked up within the protons and neutrons that form atomic nuclei. And there they remain, stuck together by gluons, the carrier particles of the strong force. This force is so strong that experiments have not been able to prise individual quarks or gluons out of protons, neutrons or other composite particles. Primordial soup Suppose, however, that you could reverse the process. The current theory of the strong interaction predicts that at very high temperatures and very high densities, quarks and gluons should no longer be confined inside composite particles. Instead they should exist freely in a new state of matter known as quark-gluon plasma. Such a transition should occur when the temperature goes above a value around 2000 billion degrees - about 100 000 times hotter than the core of the Sun! For a few millionths of a second after the Big Bang the temperature of the Universe was indeed above this value, so the entire Universe would have been in a state of quark-gluon plasma a hot, dense soup of quarks and gluons. Then as the Universe cooled below the critical value, the soup condensed into composite particles, including the building blocks of atomic nuclei. The thing to realize here is that a particle accelerator such as the LHC only smashes tiny beams of particles together, like the nuclei of atoms. For the size of particles we are talking about, yes it is an immense amount of energy, but in terms of the size of everyday things, its easy to contain. From a published paper on the LHC: The total energy stored in each beam is about 360 MJ. The MJ stands for Mega-Joules in laymans terms we can first see the relationship to something we are familiar with: the watt. A Watt is power. A Joule is Energy. A Joule is 1 Watt X 1 Second. Watts are units of Power, whereas Joules are units of Energy. Power is Energy in accordance to time: P = E/t. So One Watt of Power is equal to one Joule per second. P=E/t 1 Watt = 1 Joule/ 1 second The whole colliding process is over in about 85 micro-seconds. (85 millionths of a second). So the power released is roughly 360,000,000 J / .000085 s = 4 trillion watts. But, the beam is deflected by magnets within 89 micro-seconds of the initial collision, and travels through a 700 m long transfer line towards the graphite block located about 940 m downstream from the deflection magnets. Each beam hits a separate location on the graphite block, limiting the maximum temperature inside the graphite to about 700 0C. Each fundamental force has its own corresponding boson particle the strong force is carried by the gluon, the electromagnetic force is carried by the photon, and the W and Z bosons are responsible for the weak force. Although not yet found, the graviton should be the corresponding force-carrying particle of gravity. When it comes to the minuscule scale of particles, the effect of gravity is so weak as to be negligible. Only when we have matter in bulk, such as in ourselves or in planets, does the effect of gravity dominate. So the Standard Model still works well despite its reluctant exclusion of one of the fundamental forces. Now, all of this crazy-making that has physicists in such a frenzy is to combine all four of the known forces The strong nuclear force (holds nuclei together) the weak nuclear force (holds atoms together), the electromagnetic force (carries all of the energy from place to place) and gravity (holds the universe together sort of). There is a theory that combines the first three forces. The Standard Model includes the electromagnetic, strong and weak forces and all their carrier particles, and explains extremely well how these forces act on all the matter particles. However, the most familiar force in our everyday lives, gravity, is not part of the Standard Model. The following is one attempt at a Unification theory (AKA - Theory of Everything AKA - TOE): Loop quantum gravity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Each fundamental force has its own corresponding boson particle the strong force is carried by the gluon, the electromagnetic force is carried by the photon, and the W and Z bosons are responsible for the weak force. Although not yet found, the graviton should be the corresponding force-carrying particle of gravity. When it comes to the minuscule scale of particles, the effect of gravity is so weak as to be negligible. Only when we have matter in bulk, such as in ourselves or in planets, does the effect of gravity dominate. So the Standard Model still works well despite its reluctant exclusion of one of the fundamental forces. |

Wherever I Am, I'm There | Re: When two particles collide I think the Bear has hit upon the reason why we all (me included) find this all so difficult to understand. Living on the surface of the Earth, we always think of Mass as weight. We find it hard to think of it in any other way, but Relativity tells us that really it is a curvature of space-time. You must have seen those pictures of ball-bearings in a funnel simulating planets orbiting a star - only those are 3 dimensional and in reality Gravity works in 4 dimensions - or is it 9 dimensions? Or, is it the 21 dimensions that these super-strings inhabit? My brain just finds it difficult if not impossible to comprehend that many dimensions, but I can see that the Universe would look very, very different in so many more dimensions to what it does in 4 dimensions. |

I forgot to mention, you must include a description of your character's appearance or an image of your character's appearance in your character sheet.
Name/Nickname:Karla or Savior.
Race:Tiste Longa
Age (in human years. Must be between the ages of 13 to 19):17
Anything and everything you can tell me about your character (at least nine sentences long, preferably more but not required):Let me think of how to bring my canon over here.
Okay, Here it is.
History: Karla, or Savior was a teenage girl at the time she became a Tiste Longa,Living somewhere in a village in Ancient rome, she was put their by Jrova or God. For her to mature, and see what happened if he made a "human" tiste Longa, A man found her, and took care for her, and they grew a Daughter Father relationship, the man, trains her how to defend herself, sing, cook, farm, milking a cow, reading and writing. The man was extremely protective of Savior, not letting any boy flirt and be with her for a extended time, not that Savior mind. Savior has no mother, and considers this man to be her only family.
Savior was turn into a Tiste Longa, and was separated from the man forcibly, she is now sent to this school to educate her, do to her being born in ancient rome, and her 'father' being a farmer.
Last edited by Cpkeyes2; 11-02-2013 at 10:55 PM.
The main problem,is that Tiste Longa are servants of Jrova, who is god, and creator of the Multiverse.
Jrova has a brother named Hrova, which translate into Chaos, as you can probably guess, Hrova is the god of chaos. Tiste Longa fight Hrova's servant,the Tiste Hora, in a war of Order and Chaos.
Savior is a Arch-Longa in training at this age.
Name: Viktor Ferguson
Race: Human
Age: 18
Anything and everything you can tell me about your character: Standing at 5'6 and weighing at a lean 170 pounds, Vik is a wall of muscle. He can clean+jerk 405 pounds thanks to his years of training and his impressive leg strength. Born into a family of farmers, he was taught early in life the value of hard work. He spent most of his youth lifting weights, reading books, and training for martial arts. He was mostly home-schooled, but was given the opportunity to socialize with kids his age by going to high school football games. He became popular in the schools that he visited, becoming more popular than some of the most popular kids around. Viktor is a fan of Napoleon Bonaparte, Jesus Christ, and Count Victor Lustig, considering them as the "Holy Trinity" of being a great person. He is religious and worships Jesus. Although a known ladies' man, he's actually a virgin. Lots of people make fun of him for it, but he just ignores them. When he turned 18 years old, God sent him to the Universal High School...
- - - Updated - - -
Understood. Here's the deal.
God, or Jehovah, the Christian God, is the God that I refer to whenever I refer to God in this RP. Your god cannot be greater than Jehovah. If you want, you may create a character where she belongs to this unverse where that particular god exists. Just make sure that your gods do not claim to be greater than my God and we'll be fine.
Also, I can predict your character either.
Worshiping Savior.
Flirting with her.
In which she would kick his ass.
Name/Nickname: Tony Hart
Race: Demon
Age: 17
Anything and everything you can tell me about your character (at least nine sentences long, preferably more but not required): Tony is a demon, an has a human form, and demon form. In his human form, Tony is 5'11" with red hair and pale green eyes. His hair is spiked and crazy looking. On his face is usually a mischevious smile or smirk. He has a tones body and an athletic build. His teeth slightly resemble fangs. Tony has no heart beat, and since there is no blood flow, his body is actually quite cold. In his demon form, Tony becomes stronger, faster, and more animalistic. His hair turns white, and his eyes turn red. His teeth resemble shark teeth, and seem to crave blood. His skin becomes very pale, and centimeter long claws sprout for his fingernails. Despite being a demon, in his human form, he is actually quite funny and outgoing. He is mischevious and always seems to have energy in him, except in the morning. He is kind, and very protective of the people close to him. He doesn't know when to give up, and will fight until he wins or dies. In his demonic form, Tony becomes crazy and deranged. He is consumed with bloodlust, and will do anything to kill. He does not feel pain on this form, which helps him continuously attack, like a savage beast. He's not in the right state of mind, and his sentences might not make sense. He does not care about anything or anyone except killing, nothing can deter him. This form is activated by anger, so do 't piss him off!
Enhanced attributes- Tony has enhanced physical skills, he is twice as strong and fast than humans.
Demonic form- as I described in the above section, Tony can change into his demonic form. This form makes him even stronger.
Fire Control- Tony can create and manipulate the element of fire. He uses this in many ways, and can get quite creative with it.

The ACGME recently approved the IOL's application to establish a University of Connecticut/Institute of Living training program in Geriatric Psychiatry, effective July 1, 2014. This will be a joint program between the IOL and UCONN. It will allow the IOL to take advantage of current geriatric psychiatry programming here at the IOL, as well as the growing strength in geriatric psychiatry at UCONN. It will also permit the IOL to forge closer ties with UCONN. The program will be led by Dr. Rehan Aziz, geriatric psychiatrist and Assistant Director of the IOL's General Psychiatry Residency Program. The program will also add to the already robust offerings we have in graduate medical education in adult psychiatry, as well as fellowship programs in psychosomatic medicine and child and adolescent psychiatry.
On Wednesday, December 4, 2013 from 12:30-1:30PM, there will be a meet and greet and book signing held in the new HHC Wellness Lounge at Westfarms Mall. Dr. David Tolin, the founder and director of the Anxiety Disorders Center at the IOL, will be available to sign books. Dr. Tolin is the author of more than 100 scientific journal articles, as well as the books Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring; Saving and Hoarding and Face Your Fears: A Proven Plan to Beat Anxiety, Panic, Phobias and Obsessions. Dr. Tolin has been featured on the reality TV series Hoarders, The OCD Project, and My Shopping Addiction and has been a recurrent guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Dr. Oz Show, and Anderson Live.
Dr. Lisa B. Namerow, Director of the Child and Adolescent Residency Program and Dr. Lynn Mangini both received the CCMC Physicians of the Year Award at the annual medical staff meeting held in November 2013.
The Anxiety Disorders Center is currently conducting clinical research projects for adults with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, or Hoarding Disorder. Study treatments are provided at no cost. Please call 860-545-7685 for more information.
On Wednesday, October 30, 2013 from 3-4PM, employees are invited to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Olin Center at the IOL and the opening of the Olin Center Annex. Remarks and refreshments will be in the Staunton Williams Auditorium followed by a ribbon cutting at the Olin Center. The Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center is at the forefront of neuroscience research in brain disorders. In 2010, the center was awarded a $3.2 million building grant from the federal government's Economic Stimulus Act and received $2.2 million in matching funds from Hartford Hospital to expand the center and add state-of-the-art equipment. The expansion project has fostered much collaboration among Hartford HealthCare's neurosurgery, cardiology, and bariatric surgery service lines and a number of federally funded studies.
Dr. John Goethe, Director of the Burlingame Center for Psychiatric Research and Education and Director of the Mood Disorders Program, has been invited to make two presentations at the annual meeting of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA). This year's WPA International Congress is being held October 27th-30th in Vienna, Austria. Dr. Goethe's first presentation entitled, "The case for routine genotyping in the management of patients with MDD" is scheduled for October 28, 2013. And Dr. Goethe's second presentation, "Psychoanalytic theory informs biological psychiatry" will take place on October 30, 2013.
There will be a retirement reception for Theodore F. Mucha, M.D. on Thursday, October 24, 2013 from 2-5 PM in the Hartford Room of the Commons Building on the IOL campus. Dr. Mucha, Medical Director at The Institute of Living, is retiring after 48 years of distinguished service. A psychiatrist with a specialty in psychoanalysis, Dr. Mucha is a revered teacher who has been a cornerstone of the psychotherapy training program for the IOL residents throughout his career.
Harold I. Schwartz, M.D., Psychiatrist-in-Chief at The Institute of Living was featured in an article in The N.Y. Times on October 22, 2013. Click here to read the article, entitled "How Safe Is Cycling? It's Hard to Say".
Several employees from The Institute of Living participated in the "Out of The Darkness" Walk on October 5, 2013 at Rockwell Park in Bristol to raise money and awareness for suicide prevention. The team, which consisted of inpatient and outpatient nurses, technicians, and clinicians, raised more than $2,200. Hartford Hospital recognized worldwide Suicide Prevention Week from September 9th-13th, with several events in remembrance of the more than 40,000 people who commit suicide in the United States annually. Everyday, our Hartford Hospital family cares for individuals affected by this issue.
The staff from the Memory Disorders Clinic and their families participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer's in Bushnell Park, on Sunday, September 22, 2013. The Walk to End Alzheimer's is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, this inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to reclaim the future for millions.
World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10th, was recognized at the IOL with a conference that focused on adolescents and young adults. The conference hosted more than 250 members of the greater Hartford professional community. Rosemary Baggish began the conference with a presentation of the data on suicide thoughts, plans, and attempts by adolescents in independent schools from a national survey offered through the IOL. The keynote address by Dr. David Rudd was entitled "Knowing What Works with Suicidal Adolescents and Young Adults." Two case presentations were discussed by IOL staff. Dr. Harold I. Schwartz opened and closed the conference by sharing the commitment of the Institute's medical and professional staff to better understand and to improve its ability to effectively manage and prevent suicide attempts.
On September 9, 2013, Harold I. Schwartz, M.D., Psychiatrist-in-Chief, will be interviewed on the Ray Dunaway Show on WTIC-AM 1080 at 7:45AM.

Each month at The Institute of Living, the child psychiatry Fellows meet with local psychiatrists, psychologists, attorneys, and judges for a seminar on forensic issues, with emphasis on the areas where psychiatry and the law intersect. This month's scheduled topic was "Assessing Dangerousness". In light of the recent tragedy in Newtown and the current national debate, the scope of the class held on January 18th was expanded to include additional members of the community. The panel members included Dr. Harold I. Schwartz (Psychiatrist-In-Chief at the IOL, who was recently named to Governor Malloy's Sandy Hook Advisory Commission), The Honorable Robert Killian, Jr. (Hartford Probate Court), Rosemary Baggish (Community Education Consultant at the IOL), and Dr. Laurie Singer (Director of Special Education Services for the Farmington Public Schools).
In the wake of the tragic mass shootings at an elementary school in Sandy Hook (Newtown), Connecticut, in which 26 students and teachers were murdered, Governor Dannel P. Malloy has appointed a commission to look into the issues of gun control, school safety, and mental health that touch on this tragedy. Dr. Harold I. Schwartz, Psychiatrist-in-Chief and Vice-President, Behavioral Health and Dr. Adrienne Bentman, Director of the Psychiatric Residency Program have both been appointed to serve on this critically important 16 member commission. The commission is expected to have an interim report by March 15th, in time to impact legislation in the current legislative session. A final report is expected to be issued in December, 2013.

The track features a year-long part-time rotation at the Anxiety Disorders Center/Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ADC/CCBT; David F. Tolin, Ph.D., director) as well as additional rotations and electives with other departments including adult or adolescent inpatient services, young adult services, health psychology, schizophrenia rehabilitation, clinical neuropsychology, and clinical health psychology. The CBT Track will provide general training in Clinical Psychology with a focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy and evidence-based practice. Accordingly, training will focus on a practical integration of psychological science and practice. The track will serve as an integrated extension of the current internship and will promote the IOL's exceptional potential to serve as a national leader in education and training.
Co-authors Ellen Blair, Karen Larsen, and Cynthia Belonick, who contributed two chapters to the textbook Inpatient: Psychiatric Nursing: Clinical Practices and Practical Interventions, were recently informed that the book won the second place American Journal of Nursing's Book of the Year award in the Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing category.

The Pendulum Puzzle is a simple ordering challenge backed up by a neat rhyme. Ready to be inserted into pretty much any dungeon or setting.
"We followed the map as best we could, periodically checking our bearings using the chronograph and the sextants that the seer had given us. Eventually we found the deserted location that corresponded to the coordinates on the rapidly disintegrating map. And we began digging...
"We started a trench that went down about fifteen feet into the baking sand and headed due South. After a few hours our spades rang with the sound of steel on stone and as it did so the group gathered round to see what we had hit. Some hand digging revealed a dark black stone that had been carved with a strange texture on it's surface like a series of overlapping layers of petrified tendrils frozen for perhaps a thousand years. It looked and felt utterly alien, and yet our goal lay in the centre of this forbidding artefact.
"Don't just laze about! Help with the seating arrangement! The guests will be here any minute, and the king said everything must be perfect tonight or heads will roll! Now remember, the King must sit at the head of the table with her majesty at his side. Lord and Lady Pemberton must sit next to each other but not next to either the Knight-Commander Gren or his wife.. The Priest Lenard mustn't sit next to any of the attractive Ladies, and the Matriarch will certainly cause a ruckus if not placed in a respectable seat, but don't put her near the wine fountain either. Also, the Ladies...."
The ' Thunderstone Door Trap ', a nice mix of doors, traps, and Thunderstones!
Painted walls and a shadowy figure ... how can these insubstantial elements open that all-too-solid door? A locked-room puzzle with multiple solutions!
The tripwire activated a trap of such ferocity that even the bravest man among us quavered.
Tired of kicking down dugeon doors? This one kicks back.
It is said wizards don't work well with others of their kind. Once they have a tower, woe to anyone not recognizing their superiority, that is the rule. But to every rule is an exception. Once, there were three wizards, on friendly terms, that built their towers closer than anyone before. The towers are lost, the knowledge therein may be yet reclaimed.
The TheoRgs are known for being amongst the biggest, toughest, and most generally unpleasant sentients in the galaxy. And this is their nightclub.
A local Wizard, rumored to have lost his mind, like he has his hand, Has issued a Challenge and a prize for all. Simple-Enter his tower and find him to claim your prize.
In the ramshackle town of Spear Malice only a single building still stands. It has defied the Great War and its spears of light; nuclear blasts that devastated the entire state, and ever since then it has defied the onslaught of time.
Its halls have not yet been breached, and a wealth of technological treasure await, ripe for plunder! But there are others who crave this treasure; others that will do anything to claim it.
Before the honored dead are placed in their sarcophagi of alabaster, they come to the Villa of the Embalmers.
The players have a chance to cure the plague that has sprouted up upon their travels. Will they choose to do the right thing and help bring health back to the region?
"Calm your mind"," the mage said. "I can't" says Raygar. "It is like my thoughts are echoing in here. It is so loud!" The mage tried to shift the burly bandit, to drag him out of the room. "This is a prayer room, what to ..." The mage practically leapt to the dais. Sitting in the center he sank in a position of reflection and prayed. The mage heard the click. The bandit sighed slightly in the tiniest relief. The mage began to drag the bandit out of the room, heading to and opening one of the doors.
The Red Lipstick - almost blood dark, this lipstick changes to become the perfect shade of red for the woman, and only woman, wearing it. She will attract positive attention from men, and will be the subject of female envy, for who else has such perfectly red lips?

- Difficult Conversation 3: I Dont Feel Very Privileged: Differing Perceptions of Power and Advantage
- Time: 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
- Location: Lamoine Room, University Union
- Description: I Dont Feel Very Privileged: Differing Perceptions of Power and Privilege, the third 2012-2013 Difficult Conversation, is part of a series of informal discussions, begun last year, that offers the campus community an opportunity to talk about issues that arise when people unfamiliar with others backgrounds, values, or experiences are asked to work and live side by side.
The Oxford online dictionary privilege in part as a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group. In the past few decades privilege, at least in the United States, has often been combined with white, as in white privilege, and male, as in male privilege. Do these really exist, especially in a diverse society that has struggled to level the playing field with policies like affirmative action and laws like Title IX? Does being white or male still mean a person has benefits and advantages people of color and women don't haveeven with our countrys current economic struggles?
And class? Do rich people automatically have advantages that poor people don't have because they are rich? Or sexualitydo straight people enjoy more or fewer benefits than gay people? What has been your experience of privilege? Do you see it? Have you been affected by it? Have you questioned where it comes from or if it can be increased or shared?
This conversation will provide an opportunity to address all of these questions and to explore more deeply the complexity of identity. Individuals cannot be identified by a single characteristic. Their gender, class, race/ethnicity, and sexuality intersect to produce individuals who may identify as, for example, white, male and gay or black, female, and poor. The intersectionality may affect the privilege a person enjoysor not. DifCon3 will provide the opportunity to talk about this.
Difficult Conversations are open to all faculty, staff, and students. Last year, DifCon prompted many positive evaluations comments like this one: Today made me feel more aware that it is okay to ask the questions you want to. DifCon3 will allow more questions and more discussion.
The Difficult Conversations Series is sponsored by Western's Expanding Cultural Diversity Project, the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Research, the University Diversity Council, the Office of Student Activities, and the University Professionals of Illinois Local 4100.

The adoption of 3DTVs is expected to spike next year.

Comfort Food
It's no secret that food provides people with comfort and a sense of security. When we're feeling our most fragile, emotionally or physically, there's more to a meal than just in the eating, particularly when a meal is given as a gift. And while the giver often responds with 'It's nothing!' to your 'You shouldn't have!', you can't help but feel a little lighter knowing someone has thought enough of you to help out in what might be the only way they know how. In every act of the giving and taking of food, relationships and people grow stronger.
My friend Annemarie was there with a platter of finger food on the morning of my wedding as the bridal party busied themselves with makeup and hair. Then she was sneakily leaving casseroles and quiches at my front door in the first few weeks back from hospital with my first newborn.
Whether it's a new mother home from hospital contemplating life with a baby, a relative recuperating from an illness or operation or a friend going through a tough break up, sometimes the only way you feel you can help is come bearing food. I never know if it's the right time to call for a chat (what if I wake the baby, or worse, the new mum?), or what if I put my foot in my mouth and say something stupid during those uncomfortable silences? I've always found that bearing a small gift of food seems to break the ice somewhat and serves as a friendly reminder that you are thinking about them, even after you've said your goodbyes.
Recently I got news of a friend going through a particularly tough time so it wasn't long before I had my head in the spare container cupboard searching for lids that fit bottoms (do they go to the same place as missing socks?) to portion up a dish of our family's favourite for a special home delivery.
Do you have a go-to dish for when you have a friend in need? Have you ever been on the receiving end and thanked your lucky stars for the thought? I know I have.
Neil Perry's Best-Ever Lasagne
9 instant cook lasagne sheets
500 g fresh buffalo or cow's milk mozzarella
100g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Meat Sauce
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
6 garllic cloves, finely chopped
300g pork mince
300g veal mince
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tsp plain (all-purpose) flour
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
pinch of caster sugar
700ml tomato passata
400g tinned diced tomatoes
1 large handful basil leaves
Béchamel Sauce
50g unsalted butter
2 tbs plain flour
600ml milk
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
You will need a lasagne dish with dimensions around 23×29 x7cm. I used a Pyrex baking dish w dimensions of 22.5x33x6cm and while there was some extra space lengthways that might have had more to do with the size of the lasagne sheets I used. Next time I'll try jumbo sized sheets.
Preheat the oven to 190C.
Start with the meat sauce. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, but not browned. Add the garlic and cook till fragrant – just a few minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high and add both of the meats and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking the meat into small pieces with a wooden spoon for about 4 minutes, or until the meat loses its raw colour but has not browned. Add the flour and cook, stirring for 2 minutes, then pour in the vinegar and stir occasionally till it has almost evaporated.
Add the sugar and passata and diced tomatoes and allow the sauce to simmer for about 10 minutes, or until it reduces and has started to thicken slightly. Adjust the seasoning as needed (I like lots of pepper). Stir through the basil leaves and set the sauce aside.
To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter in a heavy-based saucepan over low-medium heat. Add the flour to the butter and stir constantly over the heat, for 1 – 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the milk all at once, whisking constantly to avoid any lumps. Return the pan to the heat and continue to whisk constantly, until the sauce boils and thickens. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
To assemble the lasagne, spread one-quarter of the meat sauce into the base of the lasagne dish. Cover the meat sauce using three of the lasagne sheets. Spread another quarter of the meat sauce over the lasagne, followed by 1/3 of the mozzarella. Continue to layer the lasagne sheets, meat sauce and mozzarella two more times. Pour the béchamel sauce over the final layer of mozzarella, then sprinkle evenly with the Parmesan.
Cook the lasagne for 30 minutes, or until the cheese has browned and the sauce is bubbling. Remove the lasagne from the oven and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
Serves 6.

Oh wow, I'm tickled pink. Lovely to hear that my small gift created comfort as well as a memory! In return I must say a huge thank you for this lasagne recipe….it is sure to provide comfort and memories

And if you decide that you wanna have a restaurant where you just want smokers smoking cigars you have the -- right to choose whether you wanna patronize that restaurant and not yet not this is one area where we're in agreement -- and let's explain this to the viewers there are places called cigar a lot Hutus were consenting adults going to enclosed space.
So I'm not exposed people who don't wanna be there and exposed and some places wanna ban these right and then we have stated the art ventilation are open to please call -- in Naples Florida and we spent a ton of money to make sure every sixty seconds we have a 100% fresh air.
And you have cigar stores and wonderful lounges across this country everywhere and people should be able to enjoy a premium -- and enjoy this because.
It -- yes cigarette smoker smoking cigarettes.
And cigar smoker for four cigars and unfortunately.
We -- -- under us all -- toll under assault and this truly is a labor of love it's an art Foreman.
People enjoyed that for not infringing on -- we should be able to have the right to -- rates -- San Francisco bands indoor cigar lounges entirely.
Boston told cigar bars they have ten years to close this right and in the city of New York.
I'm not sure grandfathered and you can't smoke anywhere else you can't open another cigar lounge and his lounges create a lot of jobs and the cigar industry.
Just in the United States responsible about 85000 jobs.
And what this new and pending FDA regulation where the FDA now is looking to regulate something they know nothing about we're looking at actually destroying.
All these jobs and a and an industry that is really an artist the FDA want to do and how would that destroy job -- what the FDA is doing is they want to regulate all tobacco and on -- cigars happens to be the pun intended consequence.
You have for example here this is a block a -- it's called.
A cigar because right now the definition of -- premium cigars very very broad.
That includes product like this which is just of tobacco leaf.
Like this there comes in a plastic tube like this and you just on rapid and guess what you -- what.
-- marijuana can call -- metal bulletin there after products like these.
We fall in the same category because the definitions too broad.
So what we've done is introduce legislation to narrow the definition what a premium cigar is.
It's going to be all natural tobacco at some -- -- pounds -- thousand.
And we have right now 160 -- sponsors in the house supporting this legislation.
-- give premium cigars and exemption from FDA regulation.
See this is why say that that capitalists of the worst enemies of capitalism because here's this guy saying.
It's okay regulate the other guys but we premium guys should have an exempt actually we're all for deregulation.
Of everything okay we don't want that were done just pointing out that we happened.
To be falling as the unintended consequence of something that they're after but it's very very hard and you know Everest when the -- is down your throat and they might virtually destroy your entire business.
This beautiful box would have 75%.
Warning stickers ugly warning stickers on it.
Every time I decide to make a blend I would have to submit it to the FDA.
Make sure they were past the blend so that I could actually.
-- -- -- value from introducing new doubt have to go through case studies like -- pharmaceutical drug would cost me a million house -- -- -- Richard Blumenthal the ridiculous senator from Connecticut says cigars poses serious threat to public health.
Well you know unfortunately.
Nobody's done their research they're not educated about cigars they have no idea about the concept of cigars this is something so wrong -- -- blue collar worker whether you're CEO a doctor you get together and -- conversation they do -- but that the government can't.

Don't forget we do have a choice in what happens with our money.....I personaly dont waste my time with aussie retailers when it comes to games and accessory's i purchase everything from england and it gets delivered to my door for half the price than what you pay at the retailers.....I no what i am doing it's not good for aussie jobs but hey if i can get it cheaper o/s well why the hell not do it.......... Sooner or later company's will get the message wether they like it or not...

Valid arguements..
We do have lower unemployment rates, but the fact remains we still need to work really hard to enjoy ourselves, i gather its the same for them too. Honestly i love Australia.. Hate our PM but love the country. To increase the price 100% though is a little ridiculous. I dont think Australia is that much better off that it warrants such an exploitably large increase in selling price.
I don't mean to be arrogant towards any nation, i have my respects to the americans too as my brother in law is from new york. But i stand by these peoples decision to protest the selling price of games in Australia.
I suppose im barking up the wrong tree. But we should not stop peoples protest, explain to them why but we shouldn't support Sony's tactics in explaining it.

text: An armed robbery was reported Friday at the Speego, located on 1939 Whiddon Mill Road in Tifton. According to the police report, a man of unknown race entered the store with a black bandana over his face. He was also appeared to be wearing blue jeans, a camolauge shirt and an orange vest. He entered the store brandishing a big knife and went straight behind the counter and said, "open the (bleep) cash register and give me the money." The victim then said the offender attempted to open the safe, but couldn't. The offender than gave the plastic bag and told the victim to put money into the bag. After checking to make the money was out of the register, the victim said it was believed the offender was a white male. The offender then ran off with an undisclosed amount of money to the right of the store. A search produced negative results. A look at the video showed the offender was actually wearing khaki pants, white tennis shoed, a black long sleeve hoodie shirt with an orange vest over it. He was also seen wearing a brown hat, black bandana and sunglasses to disguise his appearance. The crime scene was eventually turned over to detectives.

Somewhere between Big Bang Theory and High School Musical. I wanted to walk out after 5 minutes. This is the worse musical ever. But soon to be surpassed by Viva Forever!!
Dan Sat Dec 29 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
The worst musical I've ever seen. Everything about it was so bad that I walked out during the interval. If you are a 13-year-old girl and you love Glee then you will probably enjoy it, but I thought it was a complete waste of my time.

Had a great time seeing the show on 6th October! Turned up 10 mins before matinee to try and get tickets for evening performance, and instead got matinee tickets in the stalls for just £10. Very energetic and feel-good, with really good performances by the cast.

The Center for Social and Demographic Analysis (CSDA) was established in 1981 with the objective of providing a strong research infrastructure for scholarship in the social sciences at the University at Albany. Over the years it has increasingly emphasized support for interdisciplinary population research, especially the analysis of spatial inequalities (paying attention to processes of urban and regional development and their impacts on residents) and concerns for vulnerable populations (defined by race and ethnicity, age, social class, and nativity). The Center offers researchers access to first-rate computing facilities and statistical software, computing and statistical consulting, assistance with grant preparation and administration, and other related services. The Center also collaborates with the Lewis Mumford Center in efforts to disseminate data and cutting edge analyses of population trends revealed in the census and continuing census-related databases such as the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey.

(For example, isolating the few women that may be enrolled in an engineering course from one another by placing them in different learning groups can hamper their academic success.) However, just because women and students of color benefit does not mean or imply that men and majority students can't also profit from collaborative learning. As with the saying, "A rising tide lifts all boats," utilizing several different teaching approaches opens the door to other students who might otherwise not be engaged.

I'm not really good at keeping in touch. I like talking, but hate talking on the phone. I like writing, but hate sending emails. I like socializing, but also hate making plans. It's ridiculous, I know.
One of the reasons I dislike talking on the phone is that it's so inefficient. You're stuck and can't do other things. I mean you can, but not well, and not without putting the person on speakerphone and shouting the whole time, or using a robot ear. However, I do have a ten minute walk from muni to my house. AT&t's shitty coverage cuts out at minute 8.5, but before then I can walk and talk and that counts as doing two things.
Tonight bao gave me a call. We chatted (awkwardly, he was driving with me on speakerphone so it was mostly just him mumbling and me saying HUH? real loud) and then the phone cut out. We played telephone tag for a while and then decided we would try to do it all over again tomorrow.
Private to Bao: please to get a robot ear, your speakerphone technique is the worst. I played your voicemail to Jimmy and we could only understand every third word.
