But investors who took up the discounted rights issue to fund the deal must so far be pleased. Against the 465p rights price, shares in the hotel group continued their good run up to 623.5p in June, though they have come off the boil since then. The question now is whether there is any more left in the tank.
The half year figures, which showed pre-tax profits from continuing operations up 10 per cent to pounds 26.8m, were in line with expectations. The regional picture was mixed, however.
The UK performance was worse than some analysts' forecasts, with revenue per available room in the five London hotels down by 2 per cent, and by almost 4 per cent in the provinces. Whilst forward bookings are stronger, there has been a blip in demand. The strategy has been to trade some loss of occupancy for higher room rates that attract bigger-spending, higher- margin guests.
Offsetting the weak domestic scene, there was strong growth overseas, particularly in Europe and New York. It is Asia, however, that holds the key and the investment case for the shares now is a punt on Far Eastern recovery. M&C is looking for more acquisitions in the region, with Bangkok, Tokyo and Seoul the primary hunting ground. Melbourne and Boston are also being scoped out.
M&C is tightly run and Kwek Leng Beng, chairman, is highly regarded. But on analysts' forecasts of pounds 95m pre-tax profits this year, the shares - up 12p to 521.5p - trade on a premium to the sector with a forward p/e of 18. They are expensive.

Jean-Antoine Watteau (October 10, 1684 July 18, 1721) was a French painter whose brief career spurred the revival of interest in colour and movement (in the tradition of Correggio and Rubens), and revitalized the waning Baroque idiom, which eventually became known as Rococo. He is credited with inventing the genre of fêtes galantes: scenes of bucolic and idyllic charm, suffused with an air of theatricality. Some of his best known subjects were drawn from the world of Italian comedy and ballet. Early life and training Watteau was born in the Flemish town of Valenciennes, which had just been annexed by the French king Louis XIV. His father was a master tiler of Flemish descent. Showing an early interest in painting, he was apprenticed to Jacques-Albert Gérin, a local painter. Having...

Four More Tall Totem Banners for 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'
by Alex Billington
November 8, 2012
Source: Cine1
One ring to rule them all… Oh wait, wrong trilogy. I think this is when I've started to get a bit tired of the lackluster marketing imagery being released in droves for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I'm obviously still insanely excited for the movie itself, and already booked both midnight and opening day tickets, but I'm a bit tired of the same old Photoshop images being used over and over. Why couldn't Peter Jackson get his insanely talented art department to whip up some unique artwork? Found on Cine1 are four "totem" banners, or incredibly tall banners you'll likely see hanging from the ceiling of your theater's lobby.
Here's all four of the new The Hobbit banners, displayed side-by-side as they should be. Do you like them?
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit… J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, being directed by Peter Jackson as three separate movies, is set in Middle-Earth 60 years before Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in a trilogy ten years ago. The films, with screenplays by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson, were shot consecutively in digital 3D using the latest cameras. The Hobbit follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, played by Martin Freeman, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey arrives in theaters in 3D & 48FPS on December 14th.

How can you not like rock cakes?!! |
Follow my journey as I bake my way through the 218 recipes from Mary Berry's 'Baking Bible'.
Monday, 18 April 2011
Rock Cakes
Recipe Number Twenty Four: Page 332.
I used to make rock cakes quite often; I suppose they were a bit of a speciality. I used a recipe out of Mary Berry's previous book (Mary Berry Cooks Cakes), to which I added glace cherries. I think they make them even yummier. They definitely seemed to be a favourite amongst family and friends. However, due to moving house and then having a baby, I haven't really baked much until recently; it was therefore nice to revisit these old friends.
I had thought this recipe would be exactly the same as the one in Mary Berry's other book, but I was surprised to find that there were some differences. The main one was that, in the Baking Bible, she uses butter instead of soft margarine. I wondered if it would make any noticeable difference to the finished result; only one way to find out!
I measured the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl and rubbed in the butter. I felt a little sad as I added the dried fruit to the mixture; I had not added the cherries as I normally would have done, as I wanted to keep true to the recipe. All that was left to do was to mix in the milk and egg. Although the mixture combined really well, it was very dry. Mary Berry says to add a bit more milk if this is the case, so I took the milk back out of the fridge, leaving pretty doughy fingerprints on the fridge door and all over the milk bottle! I poured in just enough to make the mixture a little sticky. I put heaped spoonfuls onto my baking tray and sprinkled with Demerara sugar. Into the oven they went. After just 15 minutes my little rock cakes were cooked.
Neil and I tried half a rock cake each once they were cool enough to eat. Neil didn't look that keen, it has to be said!! He said they were a little dry and he preferred the ones I used to make. After telling him there was no need to look so horrified, I took a bite. Well, I have to admit it; they are quite dry and not as nice as the ones I used to bake. I wonder if it's all down to using butter, maybe the glace cherries help moisten the rock cakes. Having said all that, there is nothing wrong with them, they are still very decent rock cakes! However, maybe Mary Berry's other recipe is more to our liking and we did miss the cherries.
2 comments:
Hi Sarah, sorry to hear about your rock cakes. I know how dishearting it can be when something doesn't work out. I am not sure what recipe you used. But can I suggest you try using soft margarine instead of butter? These rock cakes were also dry and I used 100g butter. In Mary's previous book Mary Berry Cooks Cakes she uses 115g of soft margarine (Stork is good). I have always loved that recipe, works everytime. Or you could try adding a little more milk, so you have a stiff but slightly sticky mixture. I hope that might help. If you try again let me know if your results are any better - good luck :-)

City councilors move to ban porno scanners from NYC airports
Israeli ex-security chief: 'I can overcome body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a 747'
'Stop groping me!': Retailers cash in on TSA furor
Four New York City councilors have proposed legislation that would ban the TSA's full-body scanners from airports inside New York City, in a sign that lawmakers around the country are heeding calls from travelers outraged at the federal government's intrusive new airport screenings.
If successful, the move could affect airport screenings at JFK, the country's biggest airport for international flights, as well as the busy LaGuardia Airport.
"Just think about whats happening in our community. The next time you want to [fly] they want to force you to go through a machine that literally shows your naked body to a TSA employee. It's an outrage, it's unacceptable, it's ineffectual," city councilor David Greenfield told Yeshiva World News.
"It violates the privacy of everyone, including small children who go through these scans," Greenfield told Wired.com. "Which is really outrageous when you think about that."
Municipal politicians in New York City aren't the only ones who are taking steps to fight the TSA's new procedures. The New Jersey state legislature is considering a resolution calling on the TSA to stop using the body scanners. The Senate's commerce committee held hearings on the matter earlier this week.
The city councilors pushing a New York-wide ban point to the example of Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport, considered to have the best airport security in the world, as proof that body scanners and intrusive pat-downs involving the touching of breasts and genitals aren't needed to secure the skies.
"Everybody knows Ben Gurion airport in Israel is the most secure and the top terrorist target in the world. Their former head of security has said these naked body scanners do not work and that he himself could get through enough explosives to take down a jumbo jet." Greenfield said.
He was referring to Rafi Sela, who told Canadian parliamentarians in April: "I don't know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines. I can overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747."
Greenfield says he believes city councilors have the authority to override the TSA even though it's a federal agency. He points out that New York's airports are on land owned by the city and leased to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
With online news sites and cable news reporting heavily on the TSA scanners and intrusive pat-downs, and with the busiest weekend for air travel coming up, some entrepreneurs are hoping to cash in on the public anger.
Ohio-based StopGropingMe.com is selling T-shirts showing a hand in a clutching position crossed out by a red line, and the words "Stop groping me!" emblazoned across the front.
"We have created this site to encourage those who absolutely have to travel, to Opt Out of the scanners and still show disapproval to the new TSA groping methods," a company representative said in an email.
The Web site features links to the National Opt-Out Day protest, which calls for travelers refuse the body scanner on Nov. 24, expected to be the busiest air travel day of the year.
The T-shirt sells for $21.95.
The following video, of New York City Councilor David Greenfield, was uploaded to the Web by Yeshiva World News.

The Chena River /ˈtʃi.nə/ (Tanana Athabascan: Ch'eno "river of something (game)") is a 100-mile (160 km) tributary of the Tanana River in the Interior region of the U.S. state of Alaska. It flows generally west from the White Mountains to the Tanana River near the city of Fairbanks, which is built on both sides of the river.[5] The Tanana empties into the 2,300-mile (3,700 km) long Yukon River.
Named tributaries of the Chena River include the North Fork, South Fork, West Fork, Middle (East) Fork and the Little Chena River.[5] The Chena River State Recreation Area surrounds much of the upper half of the main stem.[5] The Chena River is used for recreational fishing and boating.[3] During the winter months, it is also traveled by snowmachines and mushers (sled dogs).
The Chena River Lakes Flood Control Project dam is about 40 miles (64 km) up the Chena River from Fairbanks. The dam was built in response to the 1967 Fairbanks flood, which inundated much of the city. When closed, the dam impounds water and, when the inflow is high enough, diverts it about 8 miles (13 km) to the Tanana River near North Pole, upstream of Fairbanks and the natural mouth of the Chena.[6]
The Chena River supports populations of many fish species, including Arctic grayling, burbot, chum salmon, humpback whitefish, king salmon, least cisco, longnose suckers, northern pike, round whitefish, and sheefish. Easily accessible from Fairbanks, the Chena is the most popular sport-fishing river in interior Alaska.[3]
Overfishing for grayling reduced their number in the Chena to "dangerous levels" by the mid-1980s. In the 21st century, sport fishing for grayling, which grow in length to 18 inches (46 cm) in the upper river, is limited to catch and release.[3]
Easy access to the river from Chena Hot Springs Road, the Chena River Recreation Area, four bridges, and elsewhere make a wide variety of float trips possible. Most of the river is rated Class I (easy) on the International Scale of River Difficulty; however, the upper reaches along the North Fork near Chena Hot Springs are "extremely swift" with few safe eddies and are rated Class II (medium). High water increases these difficulty ratings.[3]
Dangers on the North Fork include a much narrower channel than that of the main stem, possible logjams, overhanging vegetation, and shallows, any of which may require a portage. Dangers below that include possible overhangs, logjams, and channel braiding. In the early season (June), boaters may encounter ice jams anywhere along the river.[3]

London's Elephants - No. 20 in a series
It's elephant time again, strange but although they aren't native to this country they seem to do well here - there are still more waiting in the wings. You'll find this one in Rasa, an Indian Restaurant in Derring Street, just opposite yesterday's building. I've not tried eating there, but it looks OK, as far as you can judge these from the outside. And of course, they have an elephant.

Portland's Robert Coello and Trenton's David Phelps were the game's starting pitchers, and the two matched each other early on, keeping the game scoreless through three innings. In the top of the fourth, the Thunder struck first, as Brandon Laird led off the frame with a solo home run into the screen above the Maine Monster.
Phelps retired the side in order in the fourth, but the Sea Dogs' bats came alive one inning later. Yamaico Navarro started the rally with a single to right field, and stole second base after a flyout by Jose Iglesias. Chih-Hsien Chiang singled Navarro to third, and Portland's third baseman beat the throw to the plate on Matt Sheely's soft infield grounder. Mike Cameron singled to load the bases, before Che-Hsuan Lin walked for the go-ahead run. Nate Spears and Luis Exposito kept the offense clicking, as Spears doubled home two, while Exposito knocked in a run with a single to center. The Trenton starter finally got the final two outs of the inning, but the damage was done, with Portland leading, 6-1.
Robert Coello's day ended after five innings on the mound for Portland. In his first professional start, Coello allowed one run, four hits, and one walk, while striking out a season-high six.
The Sea Dogs' starter left in line for the win, but did not get it, as reliever Mitch Herold received a less than pleasant greeting in his Double-A debut. Herold's outing began with a walk to Austin Krum. After a flyout by Austin Romine and a single by Brandon Laird, Daniel Brewer walked, loading the bases. Marcos Vechionacci brought in a pair of runs with a single, before a walk to Kevin Smith and an RBI single by Luis Nunez. Two batters later, Justin Christian singled home the tying run, knotting the score at six.
Although he allowed six runs in the fifth, David Phelps was otherwise very affective. Trenton's starter allowed just one hit and one walk in his other six innings on the mound. He joined Coello by also receiving a no-decision.
The game stayed tied until the tenth, when Mike Cameron provided the exclamation point. Cameron entered the at-bat 4-for-12 as a Sea Dog, and his 13th at-bat proved to be a lucky one, as the Portland center fielder launched a solo home run over the left-center field wall, giving the Sea Dogs a 7-6 win over the Thunder.
Cameron's second home run in three days made a winner out of Santo Luis (3-1). Luis was stellar out of the Sea Dogs' bullpen, allowing just one walk in three innings of work. For the second time in the series, Paul Bush (0-2) suffered the loss, allowing one run in two-plus innings.
Portland's win came in front of 7,368 fans - the fourth sellout of the homestand.
The Sea Dogs will spend a few days away from Hadlock Field this week, as they will play a four-game series against the Reading Phillies at FirstEnergy Stadium. Ryne Miller (1-2, 5.11) will make the start for Portland, while Reading turns to Yohan Flande (2-3, 2.39). The Sea Dogs return to Hadlock Field on Friday, May 28th at 6:00 PM against the New Britain Rock Cats.

larger dies? for spindle
The threads on the end of the spindle of my junkyard Dana 44 are messed up by some jackass who crossthreaded the lock nut. Is it possible to get a 1 5/8"-16 die or is there any good way to clean up the threads? Its at the very end of the spindle so the nut should be past it when assembled and the rest of the spindle is in good shape so I dont really want to buy a new one as I can only find them in pairs and they are expensive (small bearing ones from 74-76 waggy). Any ideas?

Personally, I would chuck the spindle up in a lathe, get everything lined up and set to the proper pitch, start in a "good" area of the threads and run it backwards to the end. Might do a pass or two like this and you should be good.
With the die, if you don't start in EXACTLY the same place cutting threads as was originally done, you will fawk up the rest of them too. Just my $.02 |

You don't need a lathe to use the files.

I have a set of thread files, they are extremely useful. While rebuilding some of my older machine tools, I have run into large diameter threads that were screwed up several times. As long as they are a standard pitch, the thread files will always bring them back to useable. I would personaly just replace a D44 spindle, but some of the stuff I run into is not in production, or the parts are incredible expensive, so out come the files. One example is, when I disassembled my lathes head stock to reseal it, I found one of the threaded sections on the spindle completely f-ed up. Diameter was 2.25 IIRC with a thread pitch of 16, a new lathe spindle would have been in the $4k price range, and more than I spent on the machine. About 20 minutes with the 16 pitch file, and it was in good shape again. You can also restore 60* threads with a 60* triangular file and a lot of patience.

I'll just go ahead and assume that the paper's title is "The Daily Pot O' Gold".
That, sir, is racism against the fine little people of the Avalon, and I agree
I can't believe I just caught this typo.
"I like you're necklace, miss," should be "I like your necklace, miss."
Wait, so Blanche's full name is Blanche Noir? White Black? xD
If Rhonda and Django are both bohemian lions, why is ones medallion silver and the other gold?
(sorry, I ask a lot of questions)
they have different colored medallions because, I'd assume, the material and color have no baring on the medallion other than aesthetics. The only important thing is the spell and what race it's for. So medallions can look like look different between different members of the same magical race.
Noticed in his character bio Django appears to have two tails. Is that common?
Forked tails are one of the defining features of Bohemian lions.
Kory I think I may have found the Liverpool Avalon at Stanley dock in Liverpool. Someone would not let me in!!??
Remember to fix the "you're/your" typo before printing, Kory! =3 (Also love this page I didn't get it at first cause I started here rather than with Orientations xD)
Granted, the "you're" is grammatically incorrect. But, maybe it's also a depiction of his accent?
How is 'I like you are necklace' grammatically correct?!?
Lynx-Eye said incorrect, meaning it's wrong.
It's funny, revisiting this page, noting what in the real world actually does operate in the warehouses of a weekend.
That's what she said. ….*Runs away*
Pretty sure 'nice necklace' is a sort of 'wink, wink' coded greeting.

I got one recently and it's excellent. It does does NOT have the large scale dynamics of some other cords when used in high current applications. On my whole system or my power amp (medium powered tube), it does not offer the slam of a Xindak gold or even a VH4 Furu. These slight limitations probably would not be noticed on most systems.Otherwise, the cord seems to be eveything people say. Wide frequency extension, transparent, controlled bass and superb tonality.

Last night's supper was yet another example of all this...

Spanakopita...a delicious experiment
It still amazes me how many times I find myself typing the words "I have never made a..." The great thing about this blogosphere and all the wonderful foody blogs I'm reading is that I am constantly looking for new recipes to try...classic dishes I haven't been brave enough to...new techniques...and even new ingredients.
Last night's supper was yet another example of all this...
First, the (original recipe) surfaced during the aftermath of the random selection for Belleau Kitchen's monthly challenge...a hastily scribbled recipe for Spinach Pie from Donna Hay's Instant Cook (I suspect I was either babysitting and having a nosey through the cookbooks...or visiting my parents) with yet another note (in a different pen colour underneath) suggesting the addition of Filo pastry...which brings me to the second point, having never baked with filo pastry before...and then thirdly, the new techniques that go along with that...damp towels, brushing melted butter, working quickly.
In the end I totally made it up as I went along...using frozen spinach I defrosted it and squeezed all the extra water out and then added it to a sauteed chopped shallot and 4 crushed cloves of garlic, some dried oregano and some freshly chopped basil...the added in crumbled feta and a tub of ricotta...mixed it all up...seasoned (I could have eaten it right out of the bowl)...and then prepared to FILO...
Really simple salad last night, but the plan is to eat the left overs cold tonight with hot buttery new baby potatoes!
9 comments:
Can't beat the combination of spinach and creamy cheese, and yours looks amazing. I've only cooked with filo once, the spinach pie from Jamie's 30 minute meals. Actually, rather than cooking with it, I think it would be more accurate to say I had a fight with it - and I didn't come out on top. But your post has a very calm tone to it, so I'm guessing your speed/butter/damp towels techniques worked well!

Bernie tells fans: don't cry too much, I had a great life
Mourners at the funeral of Bernie Nolan were told not to cry too much because "no one has had a better life" than the singer and actress who died of cancer earlier this month.
Well-wishers lined the streets outside the Grand Theatre in the Dublin-born singer's hometown of Blackpool where a ceremony to celebrate her life was held and broadcast over loudspeakers.
They greeted the funeral cortege with applause and listened to her sister Maureen who read from a letter written by Bernie where she told mourners: "I think I'm worth a little crying but not too much. No one has has had a better life than me."
Bernie's daughter, Erin, also gave a reading before the coffin left the building by the stage door.
Among the guests from the world of showbiz were 'EastEnders' star Shane Richie, singer Joe Longthorne and comic duo Cannon and Ball.
The 52-year-old died after a long battle with cancer and will reportedly be buried with the ashes of her daughter, Kate, who was stillborn more than a decade ago.
Bernie was initially given the all-clear for breast cancer in 2010, but last year discovered it had spread to her brain, lungs, liver and bones.
A spokeswoman for the family said she "passed away peacefully . . . with all of her family around her".
She shot to stardom with her singing sisters The Nolans. The group, best known for 1979 hit 'I'm In The Mood For Dancing', sold millions of records around the world and enjoyed success with songs such as 'Don't Make Waves', 'Attention To Me' and 'Gotta Pull Myself Together'.
They became huge in Japan, where they are said to have sold more records than the Beatles, and also supported Frank Sinatra.
She quit the group in 1994 and made a name as an actress, appearing in 'Brookside' and 'The Bill'.
Bernie, who was married to drummer Steve Doneathy and gave birth to Erin in 1999, also took part in Channel 4 series 'The Games' and ITV's 'Popstar To Operastar'.
On stage, she performed in 'Blood Brothers', 'Flashdance The Musical' and the UK tour of 'Chicago The Musical' in 2012 as well as a touring production of 'Calendar Girls'.

In part one of this blog entry I discussed projectile weapons, which may still be a factor in infantry warfare for many centuries, maybe even into the next millennia. Nothing at all like our projectile weapons, they will instead use magnetic propulsion to achieve the great velocities needed to penetrate future armor. They may also be explosive, or have the capability to explode on contact. Shaped charges or superhard penetrators may aid in armor penetration. So what about other explosive shells? We use grenades today, both thrown and propelled. In World War 2 the rifle grenade was a fixture of many battles, allowing the infantry to use explosive charges against both other troops and armored vehicles at range. And today the grenade launcher is commonly used, firing a small shell with much greater range and accuracy than a thrown object. A couple of years ago I saw a grenade the size of a twelve gauge shell, fired from one of those shotguns using a drum magazine. That is the way I think I will go, with smaller grenades that can be fired from devices built into rifles, or possible rapid fire from a dedicated launcher system. The explosives we use today will not suffice, and we will either have to develop more powerful chemical explosives, or something else. One possibility is antimatter. Now before anyone freaks out about the use of antimatter, remember, in very small quantities it is not the continent destroying bomb of Star Trek. One atom of antihydogen, an antiproton, combining with one proton, would not even be noticeable. And it can be scaled up from there, until we could have any possible charge, from a firecracker up to a large conventional bomb. Of course there is the danger inherent with antimatter. It takes power to contain antiprotons in a magnetic field. Ammo sitting around might go off spontaneously if it runs out of power. Some kind of warning device would have to be incorporated.
In Exodus I use a crystal matrix battery as a power source, feeling that chemical batteries would not suffice for storing the energies needed for emergency functioning of large military vessels and vehicles. These same batteries, or whatever they come up for real to solve the problem, could probably be rigged to release all of their energy in a burst, like a grenade. One advantage to this might be the programing of the grenade to go off with a particular force. A small charge for a single target, like that needed to stun a single soft target such as a terrorist. Or maximum charge against hard targets or groups. Hand grenades might still in use, with the same programmed charge as the propellant grenades. They won't have the range of the propelled weapons, though being thrown by a soldier in a strength enhancing armored suit might give it quite a bit of range. Will weapons like mortars be practical as organic support weapons? We can already track them on radar today, and methods are being developed to knock incoming shells down with lasers or sound, so they may become obsolete. Or, using some futuristic countermeasures, they may be able to get through to the target.
We have drones today that can loiter in the air for hours before seeking a target. In the future drones may be the answer to indirect close support weapons, though being nowhere near the size of what we use today. Drones the size of birds could be used for surveillance, and then sent in to attack when needed. Or better yet, insect sized pizzoelectric drones could saturate an area, sending back the sights and sounds of the battlefield. And when needed they could be vectored in to a target, in dozen, hundreds or thousands, they could provide a satisfactory assault on a target. Infantrymen could carry containers of insect or smaller drones to release when needed. The major problem with the smaller robots would be vulnerability to EMP, background and aimed, so the small robots would probably be carried in shielded containers until needed.
What about blade weapons? Not swords, though Larry Niven had a contraption called a variable blade that was a strand of monomolecular wire held in a stasis field, capable of being deployed a meter or a hundred meters from the handle. Other writers, like Ringo, use monomolecular blades (the boma blades of the Posleen) that can actually cut through armor. I don't think a blade weapon would be of much use in normal combat, but might be useful in close in situations or as a last resort. Maybe mounted on the armor itself, like the blade weapons of the alien hunters in the Predator movies.
Which brings us to the topic of light amp weapons, lasers. Lasers have been used and misused in science fiction for decades. Thought by some to be the death ray of ancient scifi, they can be an effective weapon, with limitations. In some past TV shows lasers have been shown to be disintegration beams. Lasers basically put photons into an object and generate great heat. It's a hole burner, though it can also be used to cut things up. In space, lasers suffer from a limit of range, as the beam does spread over distance, and spreads greatly over great distances. Also, at range, it takes time to get to a target, time in which the target can move. In close in combat neither is a problem. On the surface of a planet or the corridor of a spaceship it is beam of destruction that hits instantaneously. Modern lasers generate quite a bit of waste heat, and hopefully this problem will be solved in the future, with efficiencies approaching ninety-five percent or more. Lasers can be generated in many frequencies, across the spectrum, visible and invisible. Gamma ray and X-ray lasers would be very powerful, and would bypass some of the defenses that visible light lasers might face. Of course, lasers are invisible, unless there is a lot of dust or debris in the air, such as would be encountered on most battlefields.
Light amp could vaporize a target, a topic which will be discussed more in the section on energy weapons. Enough energy could turn soft tissues into superheated steam, and even burn bone, leaving little more than some seared chips behind. Of course the question would be, why bother? In most cases killing the target will be enough, and a soldier may want to conserve energy. A burst of light strong enough to burn a hole in the target would probably be enough. Why waste the power? A heavy weapon might use a continuous beam to burn through multiple targets, or sweep through a charge, sort of like the final protective line fired by modern machine guns. But cutting the enemy into two pieces should be enough, unless they have a very unusual biology.
The limitations of light amp? For one, even though the beam is invisible, in an atmosphere with a lot of particulate matter the beam is very visible. Even with a short burst there would still be a line linking target with firer, a shout of here I am. With a long burst it would be like a neon sign. And particulate matter, be it dust, fog or rain, would also absorb some of the beam. Lasers work best in clear atmosphere or no air at all. This might not always be the case, as some of the work the Navy is doing shows that some forms of laser may penetrate clouds just fine. The targets may have their own forms of defense to limit the usefulness of lasers. Reflective materials can defeat the beams, maybe only for a short time, time enough for the target to get to cover. Light bending fields could also defeat lasers, such as the fields being tested for practical invisibility today. Even if they don't totally stop the beams, they may attenuate the effect enough to provide survivability for a target wrapped in sophisticated armor. If they're just wearing red shirts? Well, then they probably get burned really badly.
Part 3 will discuss other energy weapons, like particle beams, and hypothetical weapons that act on matter in various ways (can you say disintegration beam?)

Some types of dogs seem to become more and more popular over time, and others are far less common than they were a decade ago. But some dogs are just plain scarce. In some cases, it's because these breeds are not generally found in the United States; other breeds are simply more recent mixes that might not have caught on just yet.
Whether they're wildly popular or totally uncommon, we love dogs, period, and we thought it would be fun to share a few of the dogs from our breed profiles that you aren't likely to run into on your morning walk. Have you heard of any of these pups?

Landmark Project: Floating Kitchen, KARACHI
Karachiites could soon dine in a Floating Kitchen
Staff Report KARACHI: The construction work on the Floating Kitchen project, which will also be called Majestic Ship, is in full swing on the shore of Sea View in Defence Housing Authority. It is officially learnt that the Floating Kitchen is envisaged to be the worlds first stationary ship that will look like a cruise ship on which international foods will be served. Hopefully, this landmark project will be completed by mid-2006. Talking to Daily Times on Tuesday, Defence Housing Authority Development Director Col Asif Jamal said the construct work had been started four month ago and that the land required for the project had been reclaimed. He said that a group of overseas Pakistani entrepreneurs, with a rejuvenated vision to promote Pakistan as an investment friendly country, had embarked upon the unique venture in the country, i.e. Floating Kitchen, a mega entertainment ship being built on the shores of Karachi with the help of the DHA. The Floating Kitchen project is located near the Village Restaurant at the seashore. The earth filling has been completed and iron pillars are being erected by the contractor. Karachiites will soon have the luxury of dining in a ship without making a journey by sea, calling at various ports. If they want to have a feel of the splendor, grandeur majesty, décor and dignity of the legendary Titanic, that too without any fear of sinking, they can just board the ship to be known as Floating Kitchen, said a spokesman for the Defence Housing Authority, Lieutenant Colonel (retd) Rafat Naqvi, while talking to Daily Times. He said that as soon as people entered the ship, its ambience would take them to a new world of experience. Mouth-watering delicacies to be prepared by expert chefs would taste somewhat different, he added. The spokesman said that the success of the Floating Kitchen would help trigger a domino effect, especially among overseas business entrepreneurs, who would take a fresh look at Pakistan as a land of opportunities while adding a new feather to the DHAs cap. A site engineer said it was a unique project in Pakistan and was also an old demand of the people for that kind of a project. He said the Floating Kitchen would provide all kinds of foods and families would enjoy by visiting the Majestic Ship.

How big will it be?
There are six phases to every project 1) enthusiasm, 2) disillusionment, 3) panic, 4) search for the guilty, 5) punishment of the innocent, 6) praise for the non-participants. - Guy Tozzoli

I can see the pictures. Its a nice project.
Btw, I like the idea of this project being built in DHA. A lot of projects are coming up in the DHA region of Karachi City. A stationary ship, with good lighting at night, would form a beautiful skyline once projects like creek city, creek towers, creek marina, etc. etc. are completed. |

Ex-Raider Darrell Russell is killed in a car crash
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, December 15, 2005
Former Raiders defensive tackle Darrell Russell, the team's No. 1 draft pick in 1997 and the second player selected overall that year, was killed early Thursday morning when a vehicle carrying the one-time NFL star went out of control on a Los Angeles city street, shearing off a fire hydrant before slamming into a parked bus.
Russell, known less for his brilliant play and outgoing personality than for his numerous run-ins with law enforcement and myriad drug suspensions by the NFL, was 29.
According to a Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman, a unit responded to the accident on southbound La Cienega Boulevard near Sawyer Street in the Culver City area, which occurred at about 6 a.m.
An MTA spokesperson said the Grand Prix appeared to have been involved in a high-speed race with another vehicle when the accident occurred. According to a police spokesman, the Grand Prix skidded nearly 50 feet, hit a curb, a tree, a newsstand, the fire hydrant, a light pole, another tree and the unoccupied transit bus.
The accident sent a plume of water into the air from the sheared fire hydrant, flooding the scene.
Paramedics worked for about 25 minutes using the Jaws of Life to free two men from the wreckage of a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix.
The driver, identified as Michael Paul Bastianelli, 29 -- a former De La Salle football player and teammate of Russell's at USC who spent time with the 49ers in training camp -- was in full cardiac arrest. A close friend of Russell's, Bastianelli later died at UCLA Medical Center.
Russell -- whose seven-year, $22 million contract in 1997 was the richest rookie contract ever signed in the NFL -- was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Friends and former teammates of the 6-foot-5, 325-pound Russell -- a Pro Bowl defensive tackle in 1998-99 who missed 1-1/2 years while serving two NFL-mandated suspensions before playing eight games in 2003 for the Redskins -- were stunned and saddened by the news.
Former Raiders offensive tackle Lincoln Kennedy, who grew up blocks away from Russell in San Diego and bonded with the likeable, childlike player who gravitated toward thugs and trouble, was in tears as he recalled a tormented friend he could never really reach.
"Darrell was a good guy, he really was. This is so tough for me," said the sobbing Kennedy, who played five seasons with Russell, who police say resided in Santa Monica. "You have regrets in life and things you wish you had done. I wish I could have helped him more.
"He and I were close -- we grew up near each other, we had a similar background. But I had to leave him alone, because he couldn't let his friends in San Diego alone. I tried to help him but I couldn't let him drag me and what I was trying to accomplish down to where he was headed.
"He was a big kid like me that had a big heart," said Kennedy, who retired from the NFL after the 2004 season and now works as an analyst for the NFL Network. "He couldn't say no to anybody. ... He couldn't let his friends go, from San Diego. He couldn't let his past go. He always wanted to try to take care and do for other people. It ended up bringing him down."
Wide receiver Jerry Porter was a rookie in 2000 and remembered Russell as a great teammate who was fun to be around.
"A great guy. He was a helluva guy. He just never found the strength to get going again after all the trouble he got into," Porter said. "I don't know about the company he kept. But a lot of people said the company he kept had a lot of his friends from wherever, staying with him, influencing him. That's hearsay. I don't know. But he was a good guy, a great teammate to me. It's just sad."
Center Adam Treu recalled Russell's giving nature.
"A fun-loving guy, always had a smile on his face. He was a very generous person. I remember coming in as a rookie, I hadn't had a shoe contract yet, and he had one, and I remember him giving me some shoes, because we both wore size 15," Treu recalled. "I remember that. And his ability to jump the count in gap-blocking schemes when I was on the scout team trying to block back on him, it was very aggravating."
Defensive back Calvin Branch, who was part of the 1997 draft class with Russell and Treu, said despite Russell's many difficulities, was surprised to hear that his life ended so tragically.
"I would have to say yes, just because the time I spent with him, he's such a nice person," Branch said. "I think he just fell into trouble a lot of times where he was more of a follower than a leader, and wouldn't say no to things he probably should have. It's unfortunate. So I guess in that sense you leave yourself open for something like this to happen. It can so easily be avoided."
The Raiders released a statement Thursday afternoon: "We are deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Darrell Russell. He was a brilliant athlete who met misfortune early in life. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family."
Russell had 28-1/2 sacks in five seasons with the Raiders, but failed a league-administered drug test and sat out the first four games of the 2001 season. He was then suspended by the NFL for a second violation of the league's substance abuse policy.
In 2002, Russell and two friends faced 25 rape and sex charges. Alameda County prosecutors later asked a judge to dismiss all counts, citing a lack of evidence to support accusations by a Sunnyvale woman that the three men drugged, raped and videotaped her.
Russell had pleaded not guilty and was free on bail when the charges were dropped. The accuser, who testified she was a former girlfriend of Russell's, told prosecutors she had met Russell at Harry Denton's Starlight Room on Jan. 20, 2001 and returned with him to an Alameda home rented by Raiders player Eric Johnson.
She testified that she blacked out but remembered the attack in a later flashback. As part of its case against Russell and the two men, the state presented an expert on date rape drugs, who testified she believed the accuser was under the influence of the powerful, illegal anesthetic GHB.
On Aug. 25, 2002, Russell's problems were compounded when he was arrested in Carson City, Nev. and charged with DUI after he was clocked going 60 mph in a 35 mph zone.
NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue later extended Russell's suspension by three months because he wasn't satisfied that the player's off-field behavior warranted his return to the league.
In six NFL seasons, Russell started 58 of 72 games for the Raiders and Redskins. He signed briefly with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2004, reuniting with his former Raiders coach, Jon Gruden. But he failed yet another substance abuse test, was suspended indefinitely by the NFL and was released.
The NFL reinstated Russell again in August of this year. But no teams were interested in signing him.
Russell -- who told friends he was turning his life around and was hoping to land another job in the NFL -- seemed to be on a better path.
He spoke to all 255 drafted rookies at a league-sponsored Rookie Symposium June 26-29 in West Palm Beach, Fla, joining former NFL player Cris Carter in lecturing the incoming players about his troubled past.
Sadly, Kennedy doubted many of the rookies heard Russell's message.
"He felt invincible when he came into the league and eventually the humbling experiences, when he lost most of what he had had and was scrambling around trying to find a job," Kennedy said. "This was a number one pick that couldn't find a job in a professional football league.
"It wasn't like it was that long ago when he started playing so that was the humbling that I saw in his eye when I spoke to him last year, and I seriously thought he had his act together and he was going to better himself. By the episode of this morning and the accident you see that's not totally true."

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.30 / 5.00 4,346 ViewsAbout a year ago a friend and I began to work on the pilot episode of a series about a fox and a barn owl, fighting for balance in a world where humans are long gone. Inexperienced as we were, we went for a project in which I would do art, frame by frame animations, script and storyboard, and where she would work on sound effects and soundtrack. Time ended up being against us with school and all, and I ended up having to compromise with the soundtracks and finding sound effects myself. I am however grateful for not having to carry this project all the way alone, because without the motivation from the people around me, I, a 15 (now 16) year old girl, would never have been able to work for a whole year on the same project.
A great thanks goes out to the talented voice actors who assisted me with this project, as well as the 48 people who auditioned. I am sorry to have made everyone wait for so long.
Anyways, I hope you'll be able to enjoy these 6 minutes of pilot, even with all the faults it may have. It may not seem like much to the trained eye, but I broke down a lot of barriers working on this.
Sorry for the large filesize. You can also watch the flash here:
http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=M-vKDBXRDBU (without spacing)
this is amazing, I believe you should continue the series
and is the white wolf (or whatever she is) important?
Enojyed it very much, good voice acting.
Can't wait for the next episode!
I'll be sure to follow this "series"?
Awesome!! I love the sketchy, pastel-coloured theme and style of the animation, like it had jumped right out of a story book. Unlike most other animations which I only watch once, I throughly enjoy watching it again and again. The characters were extremely well animated, especially Eleva (is that how you spell it?) the owl- her flying was smooth and synchronised. The plot was also intriguing. The introduction was captivating initially, but the main theme is nice to watch, and I really do hope you continue this series! It'll be interesting to see how it works out!
One thing I would say however, is for you to impove of the animation of Zale the fox- he seems to change size and body shape for example. Take, when he jumped behind the bush to get the mouse. He seemed to become samller, more 'chibi' if you like. But apart from that, well done!!
Overall, 4.5 stars out of 5! I really do wish you carry on with the episodes!! I can understand if it will take a long time because of school, but I'm sure everyone will await their release with great anticipation!
this is great stuff right here i can see the promise of potential in this series the artistry is so raw and rugged which fits the scene you can realy tell that a lot of work has gone into this i cat wait to see more of it

Aspen resident Frances Dittmer killed in plane crash in Mexico
February 6, 2014
Aspen resident Frances Dittmer was one of two people that perished in an aircraft accident near Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
In a Thursday report on the Jalisco edition of Milenio.com, the aircraft had left Cihuatlán and was scheduled to make a stop in Chamela before continuing to Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, but never reached its first destination.
The disappearance of the private aircraft, which originally had stated that it was military, was located several kilometers from a town called Eden, south of the town of Puerto Vallarta.
The secretariat of communications and transportation in Mexico issued a statement that stated a total loss of the aircraft and the death of the pilot, identified as Alberto Velasco Navarro and passenger Dittmer, 72.
Heidi Zuckerman Jacobson, executive director of the Aspen Art Museum, issued a statement saying that Dittmer was a long-serving trustee of the Aspen Art Museum, a past chair for its National Council and chair of the Architect Selection Committee for the new museum.
"She was a passionate art collector and inspired philanthropist," Zuckerman Jacobson said. "You always knew when Frannie was in the room as her infectious laugh was legendary."
