TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.15 / 5.00 3,876 ViewsIf you want commentary, just turn it on (inside the movie).
Good, but not the best thing ever.
I liked it. Honestly, I though it was good. However, it seemed like there could have been so much more. The humor was alright, not awesome, but certainly not totally un-funny. I liked the animation and thought the TF2 sequence was awesome.
Overall a fine flash. Minor points off for some comedic dry spots and some for a lack of stuff. I mean, very few moving objects or real animation. Nice drawing, though.
Tried to like this...
But I don´t know. Neither I could enjoy the humor nor the graphics in this flash.
Its just my personal opinion, but I really dont like it. But I dont want to be too unfair with the rating, so I give you a four out of ten. And for everybode who wants to troll because of the low score I gave this submission: My opinion, my score. If you have your own be happy with it and leave mine be.
It's alright, I respect your opinion (if you had reviewed 0).
But thanks for your generosity :-)
I loved the whole preloader business... looked just like any traditional VALVe game loading screen. Also the portal short was cool, i remember pissing off the turrets just like that except no missile. Thank you.
yay you just made my day a lot better. great job on everything.(what suprised me was how you didnt say anything involving the still alive song)

I have a 14 year old. He told me that he wants to live with his dad and he can do so because he is old enough to make the decision himself. Is this true?
Although I am not licensed in the State of Missouri, I will try to give you some guidance here. To my knowledge, there is no statute in any State which enumerates a specific age at which a child can chose which parent will have primary custody. While, yes, most Courts will take into consideration the preference of an older child, this is only one factor which will go into the Court's decision. The Court will typically look at the overall circumstances and base its decision upon what it believes is in the overall best interests of the child.

Look and see what others have said about our products
In the first article we provided a little background about the soil, soil water relationships, and basic watering schedules for drip and micro sprinkler systems. In the second part of the three part article we will use the scientific method to demonstrate how to calculate water requirement for individual plants.
How to calculate water requirements for an individual plant with a single outlet drip emitter: Calculation of water requirement is based on 3 steps and uses 3 formulas. Step 1: Finding water requirement per day per plant. Step 2: How many drippers to use Step 3: Determining the watering time of your system
Step 1: The first part of designing the system is to calculate the amount of water the plant will need. To do so we have below a series of tables that will provide the information needed. Table A1: Ks =Landscape coefficient Table A2: ETr =Reference evapotranspiration rate (inches per day) Table A2: Climate efficiency Table A3: Estimated emitter uniformity
Formula # 1 will be used to determine the number of gallons of water needed per day per plant. Please be aware that this formula needs to be applied separately to each different sized plant in the design.
For example: If there is a tree in a cool, humid climate with a 10' diameter canopy,
The Formula to Calculate Canopy Square Feet is: 3.14159 x Radius x Radius = Plant Area in Square Feet
So, 10' of canopy is equivalent to an area of 78.5 square feet. The canopy area is also the same as the plant root zone area.
Using the formula above, the gallons per day per plant can then be calculated as follows:
Different plant species can vary considerably in their rates of evapotranspiration. Some plants transpire large amounts of water, while others use relatively little. Values for plant factor or crop coefficients are sometime available through local sources such as Agricultural Extension Services and local newspapers. Check in your area. When available, this data tends to be more accurate than the tables below and can save time. Because there is such a wide range of water needs among different plants, the water use in Table A is divided into three user groups: high, average and low.
Table A1: Ks, a landscape coefficient
Table A2: ETr and climate efficiency
Table A3: Estimated emitter uniformity
How many drippers should you use? Deciding on the number of drippers to use is part science, part math, and partly a judgment call. Remember that you must wet at least 60% of the plant's root zone. When unsure of the number of drippers needed, always use more. You must find the proper balance based on the formula and actual site conditions. You also need to be aware of the number of drippers to use. If you have one 4-GPH dripper watering a plant, and it plugs and stops working, what will happen to your plant? On the other hand, if you have four 1-GPH drippers, the plant has a better chance to survive and to grow.
Formula # 2 Determine the number of drippers to be used per plant:
Table A4: Wetting Pattern of Drip Emitter in Different Soils
Formula # 3 Determining system run timer per day:

The Steps
- Preheat the system by running a full brew cycle with only water.
- Measure out your coffee :: 75 grams or 6 Technivorm scoops for a full carafe.
- Grind coffee to Fine-Medium. Coffee grounds should be similar to cornmeal.
- On KBT-741 models, set filter to no drip for the first minute of brewing.
- Set to partial drip after one minute and full drip after an additional thirty seconds.
- Loosen lid slightly when serving, but do not remove.

What kinda a coffee filter y'all use for this doodad machine?
Got a Technivorn CDGT unit from Clive for Christmas. It makes great coffee, but I was wondering if the footplate is supposed to snap in place. Mine does not, so whenever I move the coffee maker the footplate comes loose. If I don't notice it, the carafe does not sit high enough to open the filter, so it fills up and overflows when I make the coffee.
Just wonder if this is a design problem or I have a defective pot?
Thanks, Mark.
Yes, it does that droop thing. If I set it down, and then tilt it back up, the plate comes off. I just have to double check that it is in place when I brew.
Hi Mark,
Thinking of getting the CDGT model. Any pre-infusion tips similar to the KBT-741 model? I realize the CDGT models don't have the no drip/half drip/full drip switch.

Why Are Black People Beginning to Hate Native Americans?
in Politics
Have you seen the Don Cheadle and Henry Louis Gates program on ancestry? Did you see how Don Cheadle responded when he found out that his ancestors were owned by "Native Americans?" It was an incredible display of emotion and disappointment. If one didn't know better, one could almost believe that this was a ploy designed to get Afrikan people focused on hating someone other than the white police officers who are murdering our people in the streets, the smallhats who're enslaving our men in the prison industrial complex, the rednecks that are terrorizing our people throughout the labor industry, the white-sex offenders who're adopting and molesting our children, etc . . .
Is there a genuine Racial conflict between Black people and Native Americans or is this just one more smallhat-concocted scheme to misalign our hatred and make us hate one another? Tune into this program and find out if Hickleburg Hat is up to his old Willie Lynch tricks again.
The Relevance of Native Americans
in History
Rosanne Barker has overcame the odds to become a professor of history. Hear about her current research on Native Americans in the 1950s and why it is relevant in today's society.
Secret Revealed: Most U.S. Blacks Are Native Americans
Most U.S. Blacks are Native Americans, according to archelogical research and artifacts. Please call (347)857-3293 at 9pmEST to speak on air to Dr. David Imhotep about his book about this subject: "The First Americans Were Africans," available at Amazon. Read more at
An Italian explorer, Giovanni da Verrazzano, wrote a description in 1524 of the "Carolina Indians" he encountered. He wrote, "The complexion of the Carolina Indians is black, not much different from that of the Ethiopians. Their hair is black and thick, and not very long, tied back behind the head like a small tail. As for the physique of these men, they are well proportioned, of medium height, a little taller than we are. They have broad chests, strong arms, and the legs and other parts of the body are well-composed. They're broad in the face and have big black eyes. They have a sharp cunning and are agile and swift runners."
Genesis 1:9-10 ~ And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto ONE place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genetic data proves that all mankind has a single African mother. Blacks are indigenous in various continents and countries, indicating that the "dry land" was once a single unit. Plate tectonics is the theory that the outer rigid layer of the earth (the lithosphere) is divided into a couple of dozen "plates" that move around across the earth's surface relative to each other, like slabs of ice on a lake. We may therefore theorize that what is now the Americas was in ancient times western Africa. Blacks were in the Americas for centuries before the slave trade of the 1500s.
Should Schools Change What They Teach About Native Americans and Thanksgiving?
in Women
American schools teach a basic formula when it comes to early U.S. History: Christopher Columbus discovered America, then the Pilgrims came and spent a cold winter, the Native Americans helped them survive by showing them how to grow corn, they all had a big turkey dinner and that was the first Thanksgiving. And everybody lived happily ever after. The story sounds nice but there is an ugly side to U.S. History that many Native Americans say ought to be told. Why did relations between Native Americans and European immigrants turn sour and later violent? Should American children be told a story that's extremely uncomplimentary to the Founding Fathers of the nation? Does America owe reparations to the Native American people for human rights violations? Should the Thanksgiving story be revised so as to teach a greater lesson about morals, ethics, values, and respect for the culture of others?

The Native Americans' True Story, With Otis Ritch, Choctaw Author
in Education
"Children are the hope for the future so always nurture the small children and teach them love, harmony, and compassion and always lead them along a path of truth, beauty, and goodness." These are words written by our guest, Otis Ritch, who is a Choctaw Indian Author & Spiritual Adviser. He was born in Stigler Oklahoma and grew up in the desert southwest in Arizona. He has been writing about 20 years and have written 26 novels and is currently working on a new novel at this time. There have been thousands of things written about American Indian traditions, ceremonies, culture, etc. but virtually nothing has been written about American Indian spiritual philosophy. Therefore, Otis thought it was time the world become aware of the spiritual philosophy the American Indians try to live by. He picked up his pen and started writing and now has a 10-book series of spiritual adventure novels called the SkyHawk series. In the ten books he has put the most comprehensive and profound essence of American Indian spiritual philosophy that has ever been written. Most of Otis' writings have spiritual connotations in them and please check Barnes & Noble website for his 26 e-books <email@example.com>. Thanks for joining us Otis. Co-host, Ann Garner, has been reading your daily emails for several years, which contain incredibly beautiful images, along with reading "Where Eagles Soars-A Spiritual Adventure." AND she is also absolutely stunned by the beauty of your leather work and sure would like to have a pair of your exquisite hand-made cowgirl boots. <www.soaringeagleenterprises.net>

Description This invention relates generally to demodulators for digital television receivers, and more particularly to phase-lock loop units in demodulator front-ends. The era of digital television broadcasting in the United States began officially with the introduction of terrestrial services in November, 1998. It is expected that cable and satellite digital TV broadcasting will soon become available as well. In all three transmission media, i.e., terrestrial, cable, and satellite, MPEG-2 is the common standard for video coding at the source of television signals. Because of the similarity in video coding in the three transmission media, it is possible to share signal processing functional blocks in receivers for the three media. This is the so-called multi-mode digital television receiver. In the multi-mode digital TV receiver, the conventional approach for implementing demodulators dictates a hardware solution. This is due to the high symbol rates, i.e., 10.76 MHz for 8VSB, 5.38 MHz for 256QAM, and up to 45 MHz for QPSK. Symbols can be, for example, six or eight bits. Hardware offers computational speed not attainable by software. However, specialized hardware is very difficult to change for future upgrades, the size of the chip is large, and the cost is relatively high when compared with implementation that use software and common digital signal processors. Therefore, it is desired to provide an alternatives to hardware implemented demodulators. These alternatives would provide flexibility, low cost, without degradation of performance while demodulating symbols at a very high rate. The invention provides means for updating timing and error recovery blocks of a demodulator front-end of a digital television receiver. A phase-lock loop circuit in a demodulator including a timing recovery block and a carrier recovery block. The demodulator for demodulating a digital signal including symbols. The symbols are sampled at a time interval equal to or a fraction of the symbol rate. The phase-lock loop includes an integrator processing a block of N samples to produce an average of the N samples, and means for supplying the average to the timing recovery block and the carrier recovery block every NT period, where T is a sample interval. As a feature, the phase-lock loop is under software control and can operate in any one of three block-based modes as determined by a frequency offset. FIGS. 1A and 1B are block diagrams of a demodulator front-end for a digital television receiver that uses a phase-lock loop circuit according to the invention; FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a phase-lock loop circuit; FIG. 3 is a linear model of the phase-lock loop circuit in steady state; FIG. 4 is a block diagram of the phase-lock loop circuit considering noise; FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a second order phase-lock loop circuit in steady state; FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the phase-lock loop circuit including an integrator; FIG. 7 is a linear model of the phase-lock loop circuit including the integrator in steady state; FIG. 8 is a is a block diagram of the phase-lock loop circuit including an integrator in a numerically controlled oscillator; and FIG. 9 is a block diagram of the phase-lock loop circuit including an integrator in the phase detector. FIGS. 1A and 1B show a multi-mode demodulator front-end 100 for a multi-mode digital television receiver. In a preferred embodiment, the demodulator front-end 100 is implemented with general purpose programmable digital signal processors, and reconfigurable logic. As shown in FIG. 1A, the demodulator front-end 100 includes a timing change recovery (TR) block 110, a carrier recovery (CR) block 120, and an equalizer (EQ) 130. The front-end 100 receives a television signal as input 101 via an A/D unit, e.g., a tuner. A master clock 102 provides timing signals to the demodulator. The front-end can produce I and Q channels 103. as output to a forward error correction (FEC) unit. For QAM and QPS signals, the TR, CR and EQ are all implemented in complex mode as both I and Q channels are used. For VSB, one has the choice of processing only the I channel, or processing both the I and Q channels. Under ideal reception condition, only the I channel contains information. The Q channel may provide improvements in non-ideal reception conditions. The timing recovery block 110 uses an unsynchronized scheme as described by Bao et al. in �A New Timing Recovery Method For DTV Receivers,� IEEE Trans. On Consumer Electronics, Vol. 44, No.4, pp. 1243-1249, 1998. Because of the high data rate, the input of the TR (interpolator) is implemented in configurable logic. The details of the logic design and implementation is described by Lu et al. in �Data receiver having variable rate symbol timing recovery with non-synchronized sampling,� U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/997,772. An important functional element of the timing and carrier recovery blocks is a phase-lock loop (PLL) circuit. The PLL can be an element shared by both recovery circuits. In the preferred embodiment, the PLL for both timing and carrier blocks is implemented with software programmable digital signal processors (DSP) which processes a block of N samples at the time, instead of processing individual symbols. The processing produces an average of the block of N samples. Because symbols are processed a block at the time, updating also happens at a lower rate, making a software implementation feasible. As an advantage of a software solution, low cost general purpose parts can be used, and the modality of operation can be done by down-loading different programs. FIG. 2 shows the basic elements of a phase-lock loop circuit 200. The circuit includes a phase detector 210, a loop filter 220, and a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) 230. FIG. 3 shows the PLL 200 as an approximated linear model while the PLL is in a steady state. In the case where there is no noise, a transfer function can be expressed as: where F(z) is the transfer function of the loop filter 230, and e(z) and θ(z) are the Z-transform of the phase error ek and the phase offset θk, respectively. FIG. 4 considers the effect of noise under the assumption that there is no input, in which case the phase error caused by the noise is:
and the phase error variance is: A second order PLL, as shown in FIG. 5, has a transfer function of:
Here, I(z) and O(z) are Z-transforms of the input and output of the loop filter respectively, and k1 and k2 are the loop gain control parameters. Thus, the transfer function of the PLL is: If the input θ(k)=Δωk, then the Z-transform is: and the stationary point of the phase error is: Thus, the mean square error (MSE) of the phase error is equal to the variance of phase error which is in turn is a function of the loop gains k1 and k2. The output Vk of the PLL 200 of FIG. 2 for an input θ(k)=Δωk is:
and in steady state this can be expressed as: Thus, output Vk of the loop filter 220 is approximately equal to the frequency offset Δω statistically as:
which is small in magnitude. Block-Based Updating for the Loop Filter and NCO The basic principles of block-based updating according to the invention are described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 shows a PLL circuit 600 for the CR block 120 of FIG. 1. As in FIG. 2, the PLL 600 includes a phase detector 610, a loop filter 620, and a NCO 630. However, the PLL 600 also includes an integrator 640 between the phase detector and the loop filter. The phase detector 610 extracts a phase error from the output Xn of the equalizer 130. The loop filter 620 is a low-pass filter with two gain control parameters k1 and k2. It is possible to tune the PLL 600 for best performance based on a particular different mode by adjusting k1 and k2. The integrator 640 takes an average of a block of N samples. The block size N can vary during different states, such as the acquisition state and the tracking state as described below. The average is supplied to the loop filter 620 every NT periods, where T is the sample time interval. In this embodiment, for timing recovery circuit, the sample rate, or 1/T, is twice of the input symbol rate; for carrier recover circuit, 1/T is the same as the symbol rate. Because the number of operation the loop filter and the NCO is reduced by a factor of N, both elements can be implemented using software executing in a DSP. The linear model of this scheme is shown in FIG. 6. Here, k=iN+j, and j=1,2, . . . N. If the input is θ(k)=Δωk, as above then:
and in steady state, Thus, the loop filter output Vk for block-based updating is N times larger than it would be for sample rate-based updating. This is equivalent to a NΔω frequency offset in sample rate-based updating scheme. If k1 and k2 are the same for both schemes, convergence time is about N times as in conventional sample rate-based updating. Furthermore, for block-based updating, described with reference to FIG. 6, both theoretical derivation and simulation indicate that the mean of the phase error is not zero. This causes phase spread. In each block, the mean is: Thus, the mean of the phase error is related to j which causes phase spread. When j=1,N, the maximum mean of the phase error is: This indicates that block-based updating described for FIG. 6 should only be used with small blocks, or a small frequency offset. Block-Based Updating for Loop Filter An alternative structure 800 is shown in FIG. 8. In this structure, sample rate-based updating is used in the NCO 630. In steady state:
Thus, there is no phase spread. Because the output Vk from the loop filter 620 has the same value as in sample rate-based updating, the transient time will be very short when switching from symbol-based updating to block-based updating. The overall time to converge for block-based updating is substantially the same as for sample rate-based updating. Block-based Updating Phase Detector In another alternative structure 900, as shown in FIG. 9 in steady state, the phase detector 610 uses block-based updating. That is, the phase detector operates only at every NT period interval. Because the main computation of the PLL is in the phase detector, this alternative reduces the computation by about N times, and in steady state:
Simulation Results In performance of the block-based updating was simulated using a block size N of ten. The carrier frequency offset was about 2.5 kHz. The result was compared with conventional symbol-based updating. Because the frequency offset is small, the phase spread is not significant. The degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio with is minimal, and the convergence time is about 23,000 symbol, which is about four to five times longer than what can be achieved with conventional sample rate-based updating. Because the symbol rate of typical applications is 5.38 MHz, or higher, the convergence time remains insignificant. To test the stability of two alternative structures, the carrier offset was varied, and the tracking and acquisition performance of the system was measured as a function of frequency offset. The results were compared to symbol-based updating. The following tables are the results for the two alternative structures.
For these structures, symbol-based updating is done in acquisition mode, and block-based updating is done in tracking mode. The results given in Table 3 show almost no transient time for switching, and the performance is almost the same as for sample rate-based updating. Because the loop filter operates about ten times slower this performance is almost the same as sample rate-based updating. Since loop filter is operated 10 times slower than sample rate-based updating, the operating speed is reduced by about a factor of ten. Described is a method of implementing a demodulator front-end for a digital television receiver that uses a software programmable digital signal processor. The method updates timing and carrier recovery blocks, as well as other blocks, on a periodic basis, that is, a block of symbols, and not for every symbol as in the prior art. Combined with configurable logic portions, this method offers a completely programmable solution for the design of a digital television receiver demodulator front-end. The block-based approach reduces processing speed by using adaptive block processing. Compared to sample rate-based updating that uses logic circuits, the block based updating has good performance with high flexibility, and thus is particularly suitable for multi-mode applications. Three structures for block based updating are described. The first structure, which updates in both the phase detector and the loop filter, is the simplest to implement. The first alternative structure that updates only in the loop filter is preferred when the men square error is a concern. The second alternative offers the most reduction of implementation complexity, at a higher mean square error. The block factor N should be relatively small to allow rapid lock on the carrier during initial signal acquisition, for example, in the range of two to four. Notice, a blocks size of one corresponds to sample rate-based updating. After a lock on carrier has been achieved, a larger block size, e.g., ten, can be used during tracking. The switching between acquisition mode and tracking mode is determined by the mean square error and the constellation diagram that graphical representations in two dimensions the carrier amplitude and phase at each sampling time. The invention can also used in an automatic gain control (AGC) loop that uses a phase-lock loop. The processing speed requirements of AGC are much smaller than the symbol rate, thus making a DSP implementation desirable. Although the invention has been described by way of examples of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that various other adaptations and modifications may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is the object of the appended claims to cover all such variations and modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention. Patent Citations

Neural network-based multimode fiber-optic information transmission
Applied Optics, Vol. 40, Issue 2, pp. 219-227 (2001)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (844 KB)
A new technique for transmitting information through multimode fiber-optic cables is presented. This technique sends parallel channels through the fiber-optic cable, thereby greatly improving the data transmission rate compared with that of the current technology, which uses serial data transmission through single-mode fiber. An artificial neural network is employed to decipher the transmitted information from the received speckle pattern. Several different preprocessing algorithms are developed, tested, and evaluated. These algorithms employ average region intensity, distributed individual pixel intensity, and maximum mean-square-difference optimal group selection methods. The effect of modal dispersion on the data rate is analyzed. An increased data transmission rate by a factor of 37 over that of single-mode fibers is realized. When implementing our technique, we can increase the channel capacity of a typical multimode fiber by a factor of 6.

The Elevator
Part I
Since I've know the man I've been telling Pete Thornton that I hate parties. I don't really do big crowds, fancy tuxes, schmoozing and boozing. I never have mastered small talk and if a big important funder for the Phoenix Foundation comes up to me and asks where I think the most improvement could be made…I'll tell him. Whether he really wants to hear or not. And somehow my snafu's and social faux pas never do get back to Pete. Because he keeps inviting me.
Most of the time I manage to find something important to do a few weeks in advance, like forays into middle eastern countries and getting trapped in chemical plants or stranded in hot air balloons. God knows I can't claim desperately needed vacation as a reason to avoid a suaree.
This particular gathering, according to Pete, trumped all others past, present and future. From the office to his car there was no give in Pete's insistence that I be there, nor could I talk the secretary into scheduling a last minute emergency appendectomy for me. I was going. Period.
Pete had even gone to the trouble of pre-renting a tux for me. And if that didn't beat all there was a limo on the docks at six with instructions not to leave without me safely tucked away in the back. That's the trouble with best friends also being your boss. Hard to say no, especially when you have no choice to begin with.
So I was relatively resigned, on a cool Friday evening, when the limosene pulled up in front of the Hyatt Regency on Bernhardt. I had to wait for the driver to let me out, but once I hit the concrete I was resolved. I would schmooze, I would mingle, and I would be on my best behavior. And I would never, ever let Pete talk me into another party.
I must have looked important in the black tux, or maybe it was the ivory silk shirt, mother of pearl cuff links and indigo bow tie. Could've been the black tennis shoes. I drew a few looks on the way in, and I didn't mind returning them. One of the guaranteed benefits of these shindigs were the princesses that showed up looking for Mr. Charming.
I will never claim to be an expert on women but there is one thing that I have figured out. How to spot a woman that is looking. She'll have her hair up, her shoulders tanned and bare, enough makeup to set her glowing and a color that perfectly reflects her eyes. She won't be drinking because she doesn't want her hand to be cold, should it be taken by anyone. And she wants to be free for that possible prince to sweep her onto the dance floor.
It was just such a woman or two that eyeballed me as I stepped through the revolving glass doors and into the vast open lobby. I can't say what she was wearing but I can tell you that her eyes were green.
Most of the interior of the hotel was done up in gold, brass, crystal and water. The latter cascaded down so many surfaces and under so many walkways that a person had to fight the urge to hold his breath when he first walked in. Plants both living and silk sprouted unnaturally throughout the cavernous room. But none of the space had been devoted to the Phoenix Foundation's party.
In fact without an invitation there was no way to know where in the towering hotel the party was being held. Partly for security reasons and partly to preserve the feel of the hotel lobby, or so I assumed. If the invitation wasn't plain enough, of course, there was the line of elegantly clad party guests queing up at the bank of elevators, glass elevators, that scaled the forty floors in a stately manner. All the better to allow the guests to see exactly how elaborate the interior designer was paid to be. Did I mention that the lobby windows stretched all forty stories?
"Never again, Pete." I muttered, staring straight up as one of the elevators started its ascent. "Never again."
Ugh. I'd been spotted.
"Hey Pete."
Dressed in his classic pin stripe tux Pete, looking far more comfortable in his monkey suit than I was in mine, came striding over, vacating a group of Asian diplomats. They headed for the elevators and I managed to paste on a smile as I reached out a hand for Pete's.
"You made it!"
"You doubted I would…" I asked, shooting both eyebrows up. "I felt like the president, locked into my limo."
Pete chuckled amiably but there was a sparkle of mischief and triumph in his eyes. "I've had lots of time to get used to you MacGyver."
"Don't I know it." I muttered, sinking one hand in a pocket, or trying to. Confound it if Pete hadn't given me a tux with no pockets in the pants. I'd had to slit the stitches in the breast pocket to find a place to put the Swiss Army Knife.
Pete chuckled again and waved a hand at the diplomats as they boarded an elevator car together. "Some of the men I'd like you to meet, before you disappear on me tonight. Sikuzu, and his brother and father. Two generations of a very powerful, industrial family."
"Big bucks for the Phoenix Foundation," I agreed.
"And big influence. The youngest of the group has been leaning ever so slightly towards more 'democratic' ways of thinking, Mac. This could mean more than the Phoenix Foundation."
Pete's face lit up as he spoke and a lengthy examination answered all the questions I'd had about why I was at the party, and why it had been so important. "Alright." I said, nodding. I put a reassuring hand on Pete's shoulder and nodded again when he looked at me.
"I appreciate it, Mac."
I smirked at the relief in his voice and let my friend get about ten feet away before the movement of an elevator sparked a momentary concern.
"Uh….Pete? There isn't any way that I might be able to avoid the um…" I thumbed towards the glass cages rising and falling like recent gas prices and forced the apprehension out of my voice and onto my face. I'm not scared of heights…persay. I just don't see the need to put myself in a glass box when a steel one would do just as nicely.
"Ha…of course Mac. There are freight elevators around the corner. Pierre!"
Relief let me release the breath I hadn't realized I was holding and I rested my palm over my heart to make sure it still beat, while Thornton pointed at me and briefly made a request of the concierge he had just called.
The blessed man nodded and Pete gave me a wave before he went one way, and Pierre the other. I followed Pierre.
In a hotel of Hyatt Regency quality, around the corner meant through two corridors and a Laundromat, but true to his word, Pete's promised freight elevator awaited me along with another colorfully clad party guest. I guess I wasn't the only one with a dislike for glass rooms.
"You weel be on the catwalk when you arrive. You will follow ze signs to the terrace. Enjoy your evening, Monsier…Madamme." Pierre bowed stiffly and zipped off once the lady and I had entered the car. She stood as far from the door and the control panel as possible and said nothing so I did the honors, punched the button marked "Catwalk" and leaned back gratefully against the safety bar as the doors closed.
Another small pleasure about freight elevators. No elevator music.
Now. My stoic companion would not have fallen under the "looking" category. The most glaring piece of evidence was the gold ring on her left hand. Had she been Caucasian and far more scantily clad I might have considered it, but she was very definitely asian. She was about four feet nothing, and couldn't have weighed more than ninety pounds, maybe 105 with the full weight of the traditional kimono, knot and headdress added in.
"Evening." I said, gallantly.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I always say. My voice broke over the hum of the elevator easily but she never blinked. She barely seemed to breathe for that matter.
"My name's MacGyver."
Don't get me wrong. I know a thing or two about the restrained cultures of the east. I've spent more time than I care to remember watching the good, the bad and the ugly of cultures like hers unfold when exposed to the heart of America. There are a great many things about eastern tradition that I have deep respect for. I tried hard to let them outweigh the things I couldn't stand.
I was pondering another snappy way to break the silence when the lights flickered, the gears groaned and the elevator shuddered. Some part of my brain told me I should have expected as much. I put my hands out to catch my self and kept the smaller figure of the woman in the corner of my eye until the car was completely stopped. Thankfully the lights stayed on.
One glance told me that my fellow trappee was still statuesque and unharmed. The elevator fell silent again and my mind went from damage control to Mr. Fix-it.
I punched the catwalk button once and waited. Nothing happened so I punched a few of the other buttons. The gears groaned a bit and the walls vibrated but we didn't move anywhere. I glanced over at the lady, who stared at the door.
At least she wasn't screaming. I pulled the emergency stop.
At least she wasn't pregnant. I depressed the emergency stop and pulled it again. Nothing.
"Okay…" Under the button panel was the emergency call box and I pulled open the thin aluminum door wondering vaguely why they always put the box as far down on the wall as possible. I flipped the on/off switch, waited for the green light and said, "Hello?"
The box reminded me instantly of someone else I had recently met. In fact she was more talkative than the box was.
"The freight elevator on the east side has frozen around the 38th level." Nothing. "Hello. Mayday, mayday…"
I looked the thing over wondering if there wasn't a volume control somewhere that I had missed, or another switch I was supposed to throw. I was two seconds away from getting at the Swiss Army Knife and pulling open the panel when I heard a disturbingly familiar sound.
Two clicks of metal against metal.
The same sound the hammer of a gun makes when it is being cocked.
My heart leapt to my throat and on instinct I looked to the door, images of Murdoc or some other enemy jumping to the back of my mind. What I saw reflected in the stainless steel was worse. I lunged towards the tiny woman, one hand reaching for the revolver she was turning on herself and the other seeking to wrap around her waist, traditional knotted blanket and all, to pull her into some sort of restraining hold.
The gun went off, bright and loud in the tiny space. Plastic and glass shattered above us and I ducked my head and squeezed my eyes shut as debris fell. A second later warm steel was against my palm. I couldn't tell which way the muzzle was pointed but I closed my fist around the small gun anyway, pulling the tiny woman in against my chest. She screamed, the gun went off a second time, my hand exploded along with the lights and we were plunged into darkness.
