Hi everyone, so I have a potential DP gig in Sweden and in England next year. I wanted to know for lights and camera batteries what is the protocol? I'll probably rent from places overseas and they probably already have fixtures already rated for their current form of electricity.
I've researched a bit and from what I'm reading the voltage is 230, would it differ only in terms of amperage? Do they they have the same maximum amperage like the US? Like 15-20Amp circuits? Will the lights used here in the states have the same effect and output over there? Or will the frequency of the units cause some sort of effect?
Would be nice if people can recommend me a few places for rentals. Not too sure where I'll be specifically, but anything just so I can research their websites.
You need to change the lamps, but the first thing you;''ll notice is that you can run 3k from each power point.
The 50hz mains frequency may cause flicker problems with discharge and fluorescent lights unless you have factored in the shutter speed with US video frame rates and 24fps film.
All modern battery chargers will be multi voltage .. bring travel adaptor for the plugs of course.. UK and Sweden are not the same plug.. check lithium battery airline rules.. basically under 100 WH as many as the weight limit for carry on.. 100-160 WH.. one on camera and 2 spares.. over 160WH no cigar..these are the basic IATA rules but worth checking with your airline as some have their own rules too.. if so .. change airline..
Any LED/Florrie light will be fine.. any lights with 110v bulbs you will need to change to 230v.. if you are shooting 30 /24p.. use 1/50th shutter..instead of 1/48th or 1/60th... this will cover flicker on 99% of lights.. you may still get it on some weird sodium /neop lights..
I believe the Swedes use mainly 10A and 16A fuses like here in Finland?
you will want to check the locations, it depends on the place and the age of the wiring how large fuses a house is allowed to use.
for chargers using separate detachable power cord (like v-lock chargers) you could just take the UK plug and Euro plug cords with you or buy them on location. could be more practical than using travel adapters if you have lots of gear with you.
Dagsljus is one of the rental houses in Sweden. they can source gear from their partners as well (for example from Angel Films in Helsinki) if you need more gear or specialised gear not available in the country.
Is this the sort of thing we should be recommending? Anyway, not any more you can't. Modern sockets (that means under 30 years old) have a sort of "butterfly" cover that prevents the old "screwdriver in the earth socket" trick from working. The contact is very poor anyway because the pins are a different shape. Additionally the appliance would not be earthed.
If you're renting here, you don't need to worry about adapters anyway.
Houses rewired in the last 30 years in the UK usually have 32A breakers on each floor. So as Brian says you can usually run 3K from any individual socket (they're usually twinned) and 6K from the floor as a whole. You may be able to do the same on another floor at the same time, as the house main fuse will be at least 60A and probably 100A. But don't blow that, as only the utility company can replace it.
standard voltage in the UK is 240v, and lamps are readily available for most tungsten fixtures.(beware lamp base difference if using an Arri 150/LTM Pepper/Mole Inky) But if coming to the UK, there are MANY companies to rent gear from, so no need to worry. Where do you intend to be shooting in the UK?
As an addition, you'll find that lights will be fitted with 16a sockets quite a lot of the time, which is a c form plug. If you're running off of house mains you'll use a jumper to go 13a<16a.
Also, a 2.5k will run on a 13a socket, they're widly used, so are very cheap.

Le Pin sylvestre (Pinus sylvestris) est une espèce d'arbres de la famille des Pinaceae originaire d'Europe moyenne et septentrionale, d'Asie du Nord jusqu'en Sibérie orientale, ainsi que des montagnes du nord du Moyen-Orient. C'est une espèce à grande amplitude écologique et climatique, notamment l'une des plus importantes de la forêt boréale d'Eurasie.

Son bois, lorsqu'il provient d'Europe du Nord ou de Russie, est souvent commercialisé sous l'appellation « pin du Nord ». L'ancienne appellation courante avant le  était celle de « pin de Riga ».

Description

Appareil végétatif
C'est un arbre élancé au long tronc nu, dont la longévité est en général de 150 à 200 ans mais qui peut exceptionnellement vivre plus de 600 ans. Il peut atteindre 40 mètres de haut mais ne dépasse pas la plupart du temps 25 mètres. Il se reconnaît notamment à la couleur orangée à gris jaunâtre dans la partie supérieure du houppier de son écorce, dans la partie haute du tronc de l'arbre adulte, les rhytidomes devenant gris en vieillissant.

La tige du jeune pin sylvestre est d'abord verte puis devient progressivement brun clair. Les bourgeons d'hiver sont ovales ou ovoïdes et font 15 millimètre de long. Ils sont rouge-bruns et contiennent peu ou pas de résine.

Les feuilles sont des aiguilles de taille assez courte à moyenne, faisant de 4 à  de longueur sur les arbres adultes et souvent un peu plus sur les jeunes spécimens. Elles sont groupées par lots de deux (« géminées ») avec une gaine commune à leur base. Ces aiguilles sont assez épaisses et de couleur vert bleuté ou vert grisâtre, et sont typiquement torsadées. Au niveau microscopique, l'aiguille est constituée d'un mince hypoderme, de vaisseaux résinifères et de deux faisceaux vasculaires.

Appareil reproducteur
Comme la plupart des conifères, cette espèce est monoïque, avec des cônes mâles et femelles distincts mais présents sur le même individu. Les cônes sont situés à la base des rameaux lorsqu'ils sont mâles, et à leur extrémité lorsqu'ils sont femelles. Ils sont solitaires ou regroupés par groupes de 2 à 5 cônes. Ils sont de forme ovoïde à conique et font de 3 à 7 cm de long pour 2-3 cm de large. D'abord d'un vert intense, ils deviennent ensuite brun-rouge. Chaque écaille du cône porte 2 ovules à sa base. Une fois le cône mûr, les écailles s'écartent les unes des autres et libèrent des graines ovoïdes de 3 à 5 mm de longueur, chacune étant dotée d'une aile qui fait trois fois sa taille : la dispersion des graines se fait alors par anémochorie.

Composants
Dans sa biochimie aromatique entrent le tanin, la résine, l'acide primarique, l'acide primarinique, le pinipicrine, 40 % et 13 % de terpènes, Alpha-Pinène et béta-pinène, 25 à 30 % de limonène et de l'acétate de bornyle.

Aire de répartition et habitat
Le pin sylvestre est une espèce eurasiatique. Son aire de répartition naturelle est extrêmement large. On le trouve des sierra du Sud de la péninsule Ibérique à la mer d'Okhotsk, des Highlands écossaises à la Mandchourie, des montagnes de Turquie jusqu'à l'extrême Nord sibérien là où la taïga cède à la toundra. En France, il est présent à l'état naturel en montagne dans les Vosges, le Massif central, les Pyrénées et les Alpes, en plaine, seulement dans la forêt de Haguenau en Alsace. De façon espacée et souvent mêlée à d'autres conifères comme l'épicéa, le sapin ou le mélèze, mais aussi des feuillus comme le bouleau ou le hêtre. Résistant à la sécheresse, au froid le plus intense, à la tempête, il couvre toute la masse septentrionale du continent eurasiatique, où selon l'habitat il prend des formes de port extrêmement diversifiées.

C'est une espèce commune des montagnes d'Europe occidentale, notamment dans l'étage montagnard sec. Il se développe également à des altitudes de plus en plus basses au fur et à mesure qu'augmente la latitude. Il a été beaucoup planté dans des parcs ou utilisée pour le reboisement, parfois loin de son aire d'origine.

Largement utilisé en reboisement, il s'est également naturalisé dans des régions où il n'était pas indigène ou dont il avait naturellement disparu. Dans les Landes de Gascogne par exemple, il est acclimaté par François Batbedat à la fin du  où il est cependant moins adapté que le pin maritime et donc absent du massif landais. En France, c'est aujourd'hui une essence importante en sylviculture dans les massifs montagneux, dans les forêts du Bassin parisien (enrésinement) et en Bretagne. C'est aussi une essence importante en Belgique et aux Pays-Bas, dans toute l'Allemagne (surtout la plaine du Nord où il est l'essence majoritaire), ou encore dans les îles Britanniques. Il a également été introduit en Amérique du Nord et en Nouvelle-Zélande, bien que son importance commerciale y soit moindre.

Le pin sylvestre est une essence de lumière. Il est sensible au vent mais ne craint pas les périodes de sécheresse. Il est peu sensible au froid et il s'adapte à la plupart des sols et substrats, bien qu'il se développe moins bien sur les sols alcalins (calcaire).

Il peut pousser jusqu'à  d'altitude dans les Alpes centrales.

Statuts de protection, menaces
L'espèce n'est pas considérée comme étant menacée en France. Elle est classée Espèce de préoccupation mineure (LC) par l'UICN.

Variétés
Il existe une cinquantaine de variétés de pins sylvestres décrites. La plupart du temps, il existe des intermédiaires entre les différentes variétés: les variations sont continues plutôt que brutales. Ces différences reflètent des adaptations aux conditions locales qui peuvent énormément différer les unes des autres étant donné l'amplitude géographique du Pin sylvestre.

La variété mongolica Litv. est particulièrement différente des autres. On la trouve à l'extrême est de l'aire de répartition des pins sylvestres. Elle est caractérisée par des longues aiguilles (jusqu'à 12 cm), un tronc lisse gris verdâtre et des bourgeons bruns pales.

Il existe également des pins sylvestres hybrides, notamment avec Pinus mugo et Pinus nigra.

Utilisation
C'est une essence majeure pour l'économie forestière et du bois en Europe, particulièrement en Europe du Nord (Suède, Finlande, pays baltes) et en Europe de l'Est (Pologne, Biélorussie, Russie, etc.)

On l'utilise surtout comme bois d'œuvre dans la construction et dans la fabrication de pâte à papier. Son bois est utilisé pour produire du déroulage de contreplaqué et dans la charpente. On en tire aussi de l'essence térébenthine.

Construction
C'est une des essences européennes de bois résineux les plus couramment employées pour la menuiserie et la charpenterie.

Appellation commerciale
En Belgique, on retrouve sous l'appellation commerciale « PNG » (contraction des appellations française et néerlandaise : Pin du Nord/Noords grenen) des bois équarris issus du Pin sylvestre. Mais il arrive que ce même pin sylvestre soit appelé sapin rouge ou sapin rouge du nord (abrégé SRN), dénomination commerciale qui couvre une partie de la famille des pinacées qui compte 220-250 espèces réparties en 11 genres. On peut aussi pour ce bois se référer à la dénomination commerciale anglaise, « european redwood » suivie de la provenance du bois : la même espèce de bois, lorsque son aire de répartition est grande, et c'est le cas pour le pin sylvestre, peut donner des qualités de bois très différentes, en fonction notamment du climat.

Pharmacopée
Les bourgeons, et parfois la résine, sont utilisés pour leurs propriétés , expectorantes et antiseptiques bronchiques. Ils sont utilisés sous forme d'essence, d'huile essentielle, voire de décoction, notamment pour produire des sirops ou des pastilles contre la toux. L'huile essentielle de pin sylvestre est tonique et hypertensive, et reconnue depuis Hippocrate et l'Antiquité grecque pour soigner les malades de l'appareil respiratoire.

Par distillation sèche, il donne .

Autres utilisations
La résine est utilisée pour différents usages comme pour les remèdes, le colmatage des récipients et des bateaux avec la poix, et l'éclairage des habitations (torches). Les feuilles effilochées peuvent donner de la « laine » (rembourrage) pour des « coussins médicaux ».

Q: IndexError: list index out of range Why? I know that this question has been answered so many times, but I can't figure out where my issue is. This is my code:
from random import*

def VerificationLongue():

    x=randint(0,1000)
    liste=CreerListe()
    Check=0
    i=0

    while i<=len(liste):
        if x==liste[i]:
            Check=Check+1
        i=i+1

    print("X est dans la liste",Check," fois")

def CreerListe():
    ListeAleatoire=[]
    for i in range (0,100):
        valeur=randint(0,1000)
        ListeAleatoire.append(valeur)
    return (ListeAleatoire)

VerificationLongue()

This is a simple algorithm to find if a number is in a list of random numbers. I know there is function such 'count', or 'in' but this is for school and they don't want us to use them. So there is the error I get:
line 11, in VerificationLongue
    if x==liste[i]:
IndexError: list index out of range

I don't know why there is this error because it is initialized to 0.

A: You've got i<=len(liste) but the last element of your list will occur at index len(liste)-1, meaning you'll get an IndexError.
You can fix this by replacing it with i < len(liste).

A: Here:
while i<=len(liste):

i can be equals to len(liste). And it shouldn't. You have to use i<len(liste):
>>> l = range(5)
>>> l
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
>>> len(l)
5
>>> l[5]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of range
>>> l[4]
4

Side note: you could use comprehension to do your while loop:
>>> liste = [randrange(10) for _ in xrange(20)]
>>> liste
[4, 4, 0, 7, 6, 6, 2, 9, 8, 1, 4, 7, 2, 4, 1, 4, 7, 4, 0, 2]
>>> x=randint(0,10)
>>> x
4
>>> sum(x == i for i in liste)
6

But lists also have a count method:
>>> liste.count(x)
6

A: All you have to do is print i in your loop and you'll easily see why it's happening.
Your loop should be i < len(liste) rather than <=. Lists are indexed from zero, so if you have 100 items they are numbered 0-99. By uising <= you are going from 0-100, and liste[100] does not exist.

Mike Francesa will leave WFAN "as scheduled" on Dec. 15, despite Craig Carton's resignation following his Ponzi scheme arrest.
"The station is comfortable with that (decision) and I am, too," Francesa said on air Tuesday afternoon.
There had been speculation that The Sports Pope would stay on after Carton was suspended indefinitely. The former co-host of the "Boomer and Carton" show was arrested by FBI agents on Sept. 6 for allegedly duping investors out of $5.6 million in a ticket resale scam to cover enormous gambling debts, according to authorities. A week later, the shock joc, who has maintained his innocence, resigned. Although Francesa admitted there were "conversations" about potentially staying on, his leaving "as scheduled is something we decided to do."
CBS wound up offering Francesa a one-year deal to stay past Dec. 15, a source told the Daily News' Bob Raissman.
In an interview with Newsday last week, Francesa seemed open to the idea of remaining at WFAN in the wake of Carton's arrest.
"I will not turn my back on the station," Francesa told the newspaper. "Let's see what the fall brings. I haven't talked to anybody, but I know there are conversations ahead."
Meanwhile, WFAN rebranded its Boomer Esiason show as "The Morning Show with Boomer." There have been various co-hosts, including Phil Simms, Jerry Recco and Brandon Tierney.

From the back cover:
Years ago, Jonathan Archer and T'Pol helped unearth the true writings of Vulcan's great philosopher Surak, bringing forth a new era of peaceful reform on Vulcan. But when their discovery is seemingly proven to be a fraud, the scandal threatens to undo a decade of progress and return power to the old, warlike regime. Admiral Archer, Captain T'Pol, and the crew of the U.S.S. Endeavour investigate with help from their Vulcan allies, but none of them suspect the identity of the real mastermind behind the conspiracy to reconquer Vulcan—or the price they will have to pay to discover the truth.
Meanwhile, when a long-forgotten technological threat reemerges beyond the Federation's borders, Captain Malcolm Reed of the U.S.S. Pioneer attempts to track down its origins with help from his old friend "Trip" Tucker. But they discover that other civilizations are eager to exploit this dangerous power for their own benefit, even if the Federation must pay the price!
Christopher L. Bennett brings a lot to the table when he writes a Star Trek novel. For one thing, and as I have mentioned many times before while reviewing his books, he is extremely adept at incorporating disparate pieces of continuity into a cohesive whole. Perhaps the greatest example of this is his first Department of Temporal Investigations novel, Watching the Clock. However, Bennett also excels at something that Star Trek has long been known for: depicting fictional scenarios that act as parables or metaphors for current issues facing our society, and Uncertain Logic showcases this talent admirably.
For example, early in the story we get a plot designed to discredit Vulcan First Minister Kuvak as a human impostor, posing as a native-born Vulcan, echoing the ridiculous "birther" movement that purports that U.S. president Barack Obama was not born in the United States and is not qualified to hold the presidency. Other issues, such as concerns over immigration, xenophobia, partisan politics, and fundamentalism are explored in this novel.
As with the two previous Rise of the Federation novels, Uncertain Logic follows a number of different storylines. Archer, T'Pol, and the Endeavour deal with an unfolding crisis on Vulcan as the Kir'shara, Surak's original writings discovered in the "Awakening" three-parter in Enterprise's fourth season, is discovered to have been replaced by an imperfect replica. This discovery calls into question the veracity of the Kir'shara, and may possibly de-legitimize the Syrranite-led government.
Meanwhile, the Pioneer under Captain Reed takes on the "Ware," the highly-advanced automated technology first seen in the episode "Dead Stop." This story showcases another of Bennett's talents: taking a plot point and extrapolating it to its logical ends. The Ware station in "Dead Stop" was a fascinating antagonist, but in Uncertain Logic, we see the true extent of the effects such a technology would have on civilizations.
The "Ware," autonomous machines that work technological marvels first seen in Enterprise's "Dead Stop," are explored in Uncertain Logic.
Finally, there is a third story featuring the U.S.S. Essex under the command of Captain Shumar (see TNG's "Power Play"). In this story, the dangers of the early days of Federation exploration are revealed as contact with the Deltans (see Lt. Ilia in Star Trek: The Motion Picture) proves to be extremely hazardous to the crew of the Essex. Bennett's presentation of the Deltan people is very beautiful to read, and I was really very moved by his exploration of empathy and sexuality throughout their story. I also really enjoy these stories showcasing the very real dangers of exploration in the Federation's early days, a theme that Enterprise never really did justice to.
In this novel, the U.S.S. Essex visits Delta. I rather like the crew of this ship, and I hope the Essex continues to make regular appearances in future Rise of the Federation novels.
As good as each of these stories were, the most meaningful story to me was that of the crisis on Vulcan. Uncertain Logic does an excellent job of presenting a side of the Vulcans that makes them seem more real than I've ever felt them to be. We are used to seeing them as a generally flawlessly logical people, but individual Vulcans are just as unique in their application of logic as humans are in their beliefs and philosophies. Even moreso than in the "Vulcan reformation" episodes of Enterprise, I felt that the soul of Vulcan was laid bare and that we were truly seeing a rift forming in Vulcan society. The aforementioned episodes showed us a huge change in Vulcan's government, but we never really got a feel for what the common Vulcan citizen experienced. In Uncertain Logic, I felt that we were given that perspective, and it was very welcome.
V'las's legacy casts a long shadow over Vulcan.
I have long been a fan of Christopher L. Bennett's Trek work, and Uncertain Logic did not disappoint. In fact, as much as I loved the previous two Rise of the Federation novels, this one seems to me to be the strongest. Here we truly experience the growing pains of a nascent Federation, with one of the founding members going through an existential crisis that may tear the fledgling coalition apart. Although I really enjoy Star Trek episodes and stories that focus on one ship and crew and their weekly adventures, I truly love stories that examine the "big picture," and Rise of the Federation as a whole and Uncertain Logic in particular do that job admirably, making this novel my favorite Trek novel of 2015 thus far.

Indonesian universities told to nip radicalism in bud
Academic institutions must do more to prevent campus mosques spreading extremist views among students, vice president says

Indonesia's Vice President Muhammad Jusuf Kalla has appealed to universities to do more to stamp out radicalism on campuses.
This would include taking a tough line against radical preaching in campus mosques, he said.
"Indonesian Islam, of course, is a moderate form of Islam," he told a recent Association of Indonesian Campus Mosques meeting in Jakarta, adding that campus mosque should aid students in their education and not be sowing the seeds of extremism.
According to Kalla, who is also chairman of the Indonesian Mosque Council, religious fanaticism is not a problem. But it will become a problem if it leads to extremist actions.
He suggested universities create a "curriculum of sermons" for campus mosques that contain moderate teachings about Islam.
Kalla's appeal comes amid growing concern about the growth of radicalism on campuses and the use of mosques to spread it.
The National Counter Terrorism Agency in May said that seven state-run universities were fermenting radicalism, including the University of Indonesia, the country's biggest.
A study last year by the Setara Institute for Democracy and Peace revealed similar findings.
It found that hard-line groups controlled mosques on campuses and housing estates in the west Java cities of Depok and Bogor.
At the University of Indonesia, according to Setara, a group routinely holds recitations that promote war and the rejection of enemies of Islam such as communists, liberals and groups considered heretical.

Another survey by the Air Foundation and the Alvara Research Center showed that 23.5 percent of university students support Indonesia becoming an Islamic state with Shariah law.
Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education, Mohamad Nasir, said his ministry is looking to persuade university administrators and professors to ensure mosques return to supporting the academic and spiritual formation of students.
"We do not want to impose strict rules on them, but we have asserted that it is their duty to make sure their campuses are free from radicalism," he said.

Strange Night.
It turned out that Ulthok had been right when Cynil reappeared and rejoined the group flying in as a bat.It was to bad that all of the others had not listened to what he had said for now there where two out in the dark instead of just one.At least this time it seemed the rest where going to stay put untill the sun comes up then venture out.
There is not really much to do for the night but wait and that is what Ulthok will do.Before he beds down to try to get at least some sleep he will spend an hour with his spell book and he will study what he wants for the next day.When finished he thinks about lying down to try and rest untill his turn to stand watch.
However he is quite sure that something strange is happening to the group he can't place his finger on it but there is a kind of eletricity in the air that to Ulthok seems to be affecting some members of their party, some of them just seem to not be able to relax there seems to be a kind of commotion in the group that is keeping them from relaxing and settling down.He just hopes that this will not have a detramental effect on the group in the short term or the long run.He vows to try to be aleart to any one of them that may start to act out of character that is all he can do.

Cynil
Cynil gladly takes thye bread and dips it in the boal to soak up. She sat next to Conall, just happy to be close to him, but her thoughts were were elsewhere, she remembered how the mother cat had faced her, protection her cubs with a fierce intelligence. Would she be as protecive a mother when she had her own child, Conall's child. She made a promise to herself to bring the cat an offering of food, she that her cubs would grow health and strong.
Then her thought drifted on another tack. Maybe soon, when this adventure was over, Conall and she could find the time and peace to join in the creation of that child.
A gentle smile came to her soft features as she daydreamed of that time.

Wow! Whodathunkit?
For a long while, it seemed, Divot did little more than hold the shivering Halia in his arms the best he could and try to warm her. He couldn't really think of anything to say to her, at first, primarily because he had been taken so off guard by her actions. He couldn't say that he wasn't happy about it, of course, and it wasn't as if he'd never secretly ogled Halia before (he'd probably eyeballed all of the females in the party at one time or another, if he cared to admit it – he couldn't help it that he had an eye for the ladies… what Halfling worth his appetites didn't appreciate a lovely lady?) but, never had he imagined it might've led to this. He had tried to speak to her once or twice… planning to ask "why me?" or some other drivel that he thought better of before the words could actually escape… but, instead of words, the most he managed for a time was an "Er" or an "Uh" followed by a sheepish smile or a somewhat nervous chuckle.
Then, just as the tunnelrat had finally come up with the proper wording for his intended question, Halia surprised him again. Just as he had turned his head to look her in the eyes again, the fighter/mage's own eyes fluttered shut and, after a few measured breaths, she leaned in and pressed her lips tenderly against his. That kiss, of course, erased any trace of the question he had prepared from his mind, and, for a quick minute, almost made him forget that they were alone, out in the midst of a dark and dangerous wood, with no watch rotation in the camp to ensure that any alone time they might have wouldn't be interrupted by a sudden influx of beasties.
"Thank you, Divot," Halia said softly as her lips left his, "you are a wonderful man."
Divot could certainly feel the blood that had suddenly rushed to his cheeks and, even though he was sure she heard his contented sigh, he hoped she couldn't see him blush. "Ah, thank ye, Halia lass, I'm glad ye think so… uh…" he couldn't help but snuggle her a bit closer as she nestled into him, "…I…uh… think yer a pretty wonderful lass y'self…"
He held her for a while longer, enjoying for the time, just being close to someone in the midst of all this. As he listened to the sounds of the night around them, though, he found himself reminded that they were, in effect, alone out here with none of the others close at hand to lend any help if things went wrong. "Halia-luv," he said softly after a while, "Since it don't seem's if we'll be getting' any closer ta the mountain t'night, it might be a good idea if'n we was ta find some place a little more defensible, don' ya think?
What say we find us a more outta the way spot where we c'n bed down an' pass the night a wee bit safer, eh?"
((OOC: Up to you Flirty, if Halia and Divot try to find a safer spot to 'camp' or if Halia's just entirely too comfy where she is and the pair spend the night on the forest floor… Assuming the pair finds a decent spot and aren't bothered by wandering goonies, Divot'll be more than happy to set up a makeshift camp. ))

Whew is it getting hot in here or is it just me LOL
Though the Druid Cynil's return was a positive sign, the party was not at full strength, Divot and Haila somewhere in the dark.
After a short discussion on trying to find them, put to rest by Conall's words, the party all found a place around the fire to sleep its warmth welcome but not as hot as a fire burning elsewhere in the night.
Haila had felt the chill of the night, the strange sound of the forest and the clear realization of being lost. With a thought to getting warmer, she moved closer to Divot and was surprised to find him at a loss for words.
For his part, Divot did not know what to make of Haila's closeness, but he did not attempt to change her nearness. Then as if preordained came a kiss and things did change, clear to both that the heat they were feeling was not just body heat.
With a suggestion by the halfling fighter to rest, they set up as best they could and waited for the rising sun. The warmth of their bodies keeping them alive, and perhaps something more would happen before the coming of the daylight.
With the coming of first light, the party, Haila and Divot, all found themselves awake and ready to once again begin a new day the mystery of entrance to the mountain and the whereabouts of Divot and Haila topping the list.
As the two missing party members begin the task to find their way back a shimmering of light coming from somewhere high on the mountains side, caught out of the corner of the halfling's eye, caused him to pause. However, a look towards the area provided nothing but pure rock wall. With nothing there the two with Divot in the lead, the night's happenings very much on the minds of both, moved out.
For the rest of the party the choice now was twofold, to search the mountain once more, and how to locate their missing members a party discussion was clearly needed and at its end it was decided that finding Haila and Divot came first. With both party members and animals searching it was surprisingly not long before both had been found and were once more back with the others having been very lucky to survive in the dark alone.
With the party, again at full strength they as one turned to there remaining objective, the mountain beckoned.
(OOC: Ok great interaction I must say, I just wonder which pair, Conall/Cynil Haila/Divot will be the first to post the gratoitis sex scene before the next action scene, feel free to back post.
Ok next post as norm and again to all great posting, I must say of all the mix of players I have had in Tril's almost 4 years you guys and ladies have so far been the best.
Thank you all for making me laugh and smile with your posts.)

Well the night did finally pass and a new dawn arrived. The first thing on their minds was to get all the party members back together but this seemed to take care of itself in hardly no time at all. So with every one now back together and a new day at hand the party needed to pow wow and come up with some kind of attack to find their way into this forbidding hunk of rock.
Ulthok will start the morning conversation buy once again going over what he had done yesterday and the only thing he had seen and attempted. Did anyone see anything while out yesterday that might give us any clue as where to focus our attention today. Myself the only thing I saw as I reported was some type of shimmering in the air around part of the mountain, I did try to dispel in the area but was not really sure of the exact place for I only got a glimpse out of the corner of my eye.
Did anyone else see anything at all that might help us focus today. I have had Omensamen out also and will call her in to see if she has any new information for me. With that he will wait to see if anyone else has anything to add and while he waits he will call his owl in and when she arrives he will speak with the great owl. See if she can offer any thing to help the group.
Epic Level Bard
Conall heard Ulthok tell of his findings upon the mountain and then ask the question if any others had seen anything out of the ordinary.
Keeper of Dragons
Cor was still a bit cranky after his advice was ignored the past few days. In the end no real harm had come of it other than a loss of sleep. But then again sleep might be difficult to come by in the next few days on the mountain and lack of sleep led to poor judgement; somthing the group could ill afford. For the moment the elder dwarf was content to stew a bit and use the word "hrmmph" quite often. He would be content to allow the others to plan the days search pattern. One place was as likely as the next to be the secret entrance for they had no clue as to what exactly they were looking for. Wherever the day found him he would use his dwarven abilities to see if any of the rocks seemed 'just not right", especially the area that Divot had seen glimmer.

Standing watch...
Kenji rose before the sun and by the time the burning orb had crested the horizon he had his stuff packed away and was ready to head out in search of the missing comrades. He was glad when shortly after heading out they came across Haila and Ulthok and the party was once again at full strength.
"Welcome back you two," The samurai said in greeting bowing slightly, "I hope you didn't have too cold a night on the mountainside.
As the party talked about what they had found and what the future plans might be, Kenji kept a watchful eye on the surroundings. He didn't know much about magic, which is what it sounded like to him they had seen with this shimmering spot on the mountain someplace. He was not a great woods man, or mountain man, so he didn't have much to address to the thought of what they could do and where should they begin. He just kept guard over the group as the more intelligent leaders and thinkers discussed and made plans. He listened intently though and if he thought of anything relating to their discussion he would throw in his opinion.
Not Dragon Mistress
Rayne was relieved and glad when the morning came their search turned up the wayward duo. Haila and Divot seemed none the worse for their night out in the wilds.
She had stood watch during the night shared with the others who waited by the campfire. Though Rayne had banked the fires glow so that night there would be coals for the morning fire.
Cynil seems to stay close to Cornall after her return though that had been building for a while between the two. There were both fine people. and they complimented each other in many ways.
Rayne did not pick up the conversation with Kenji that night hopefully she would be able to answer any questions he had in the future. THe way he talk gave her reason to believe that he was not planning to returning to his own lands. She know not why she suspected this but their was something about the way he wanted to learn more about this place that was so different form his own lands.--no elves he had said. She found that interesting and wanted to ask more about that fact alone along with many others.
Cynil gathered fir boughs to make a mattress of sorts, one for Conall and one for herself. She was not yet sure she could be so bold at to make one big one for them both, but they were close together.
When morning came and they broke camp, Cynil chose to go as a small hawk, that allowed her to fly throught the trees and gave her excellent eyesight. She was releaved when the party found there missing members, she did lopes in the sky crying out in her happiness in the way of a hawk, bright cries of "kree" filled the air.
AS the group moved up and around the mountain, Cynil quartered back and forth in front of the group looking to some sort of opening.
Sorry... I've got nothin'... :(
The previous night hadn't gone quite the way Divot had expected - not that he would ever complain about it, though. Rather than a night spent searching for hidden or long forgotten entrances to the mountain and for the missing (or so he had thought upon setting out) Cynil, the antsy halfling had found himself spending quite a wonderful evening with Halia. Given the things that had happened between them out there in the midst of the darkened wood, Divot supposed they were both a bit more than lucky to have not been killed... Ya doesn't live long when ya get pounced by beasties butt-nekkid.
The following morning found Divot and Halia returned to the party (with more than one stern glance cast in their direction) with nothing more to add for their efforts the previous evening. When Uthlok, again, mentioned the shimmering in the air he had seen before, Divot nodded enthusiastically. "Aye, Ulthy, I seen th' vera same thing as me an' Halia was settin' out this mornin'... Couldn' keep it in sight fer long, but I did seen it..."
((OOC: Liek I said, I've got next to nothing, really... Sorry so short but figured something was better than zip...))
A day's walk begains
The company as one the trek up the side of the mountain began. Early in the days walk Conall thought of his bed and how soft it seemed for some reason. Normaly it would only be a bed roll that Conall would have thrown on the ground after making sure there were no rocks or sticks about, but last night after Cynil's return she seemed to show his bed roll a little attention. So today Conall did not seem so stiff and his leg felt better than ever.
As the trail became more cumbersome and the moving much slower Conall spoke for the first time that day, "Ulthok, make toward the strange shimmer you saw yesterday. Everyone keep an eye open for a wide spot so we may find enough room to camp." Conall then glance sky ward at Cynil, "And you keep safe this time."
A Target area found, or perhaps not
With the return of Haila and Divot the party was once again free to turn their attention to that which had brought them here in the first place, finding a sword.
But to do so first they would have to find a way into the mountain before them.
Cor was the first to bring to all the fact that both Halflings, Divot and Ulthok, had seen a shimmering upon the mountain and both at different times. With a few calculations it was determined that both sightings had occurred roughly in the same area and this became the parties next destination.
With all gear packed the nine moved out and within 2 hours and a semi-hard climb found themselves standing on a large flat area on the mountains east side, facing a natural wall of unblemished stone, no trace of anything shimmering or otherwise to be found.
For the next few hours a careful and detailed search, some on the ground others in the air, was undertaken only to end at midday in disappointment no sign of any type of entrance was there to be found. Deciding that though nothing had been found this was a good place to camp so a fire was started, gear unpacked and the group settled in, hopefully in the right spot........
(OOC: Ok good posting, nice second post Kyle you had me worried.
Ok normal searching has turned up nothing time to try different things good luck.
As normal N.P.N.W)
a call for aid
After a day of checking the rock face that had gimmered previously, Cor was worn out. Everyone had searched but even his own dwarven aility to detect imperfections oin stone yielded nothing. Still, he had a feeling that there had to be something here. During a break, teh elder cleric droped to a knee and began to cast an augury spell.
"Father Odin, hear my call for aid and send a sign as to whether continued search in this area will be a good or bad thing for our mission."
After completing the prayer he went about gathering wood for the evening cooking fire. He knew that sometimes an answer took a bit.

Angel Reincarnated
A spark of interest
Divot and Haila had disappeared to the foot of the mountain and she decided it would be the perfect time to show him her feelings for him. She cuddled up to the halfling for both warmth and affection.
Since their journey began she had greatly enjoyed Divot and his brother Ulthok's company the best. They always caused her to smile and laugh, though she rarely showed it with the group around. Haila had been shy about her affections towards men since she was a child and was rejected by every boy she had liked. Growing up she felt isolated in solitude but decided that she would train to one day show those boys what she was made of.
Divot and Haila had joined up with the group with an air about them that would perhaps reveal much that happened during their night, or perhaps it would reveal nothing. A spark of interest would have been shimmering in her eyes when she looked towards Divot, and she would fail to notice anything around her but him. Having always been fond of the way he spoke, and even the way he looked, she didn't care, she loved it. The woman smiled sheepishly towards the rest of the group as they emerged from the forest.
Haila would cast glances towards Divot every now and then or would hip check him gently. A soft smile lined her lips and then she would continue about their mission. Thoughts flooded her mind as she listened to the sounds around her as she searched for a secret passage. The trek along the mountain was difficult but she made sure Divot was always in her view, so that she could cast glances his way. Since they had come back to the group she had been silent, and seemed a little different then when they had left the group that night.

Siding Springs Observatory
New South Wales (56) National Parks (8) Hunter Valley (7) Educational (3) Astronomy (1)
Siding Springs Observatory is located in the Warrumbungle National Park, 27 kilometres from Coonabarabran, in the Hunter Valley region of NSW. This observatory is Australia's largest optical astronomy research facility and while visitors can't actually check out the stars here, there are other reasons to visit the attraction.
Perched on top of a hill, the observatory was in a cloud on the day I visited
It costs nothing to take a loo inside the observatory (though the national park does have a vehicle entry fee of $7.00). However, only one floor can be accessed by the public. It's here that you can look in at the Anglo-Australian Telescope.
On occasion, there are opportunities to see the rest of the observatory too. It holds an annual open day, when you can learn about some of the other telescopes and meet some astronomers. During school holidays, it also holds talks and walking tours.
The observatory is only one of two buildings on the site and it's worth taking a look at the Visitors Centre. Here you'll find a gift shop, a cafe and the educational Discovery Centre. Picnic benches and a car park are located outside.
Among the other things to see at this site are sculptures
The Discovery Centre consists of an exhibition focusing on astronomy and costs a few dollars to explore. It has a mix of informative displays and interactive exhibits that are great for families. For example, you can lift weights shaped like milk cartons to see how heavy they would be on each planet in our solar system.
Find out how heavy a milk carton would be on each planet
Siding Springs Observatory is also the centre of the World's Largest Virtual Solar System Drive. It represents the sun and the rest of the planets can be found on the road to Coonabarabran (considered the Astronomy capital of Australia) and then on the drives to Dubbo, Tamworth, Gulgong, Moree and Merriwa.
Venus can be found on the drive down from the observatory
Throughout the rest of the Warrambungle National Park you'll find walks, picnic areas and places to camp. It's also the home of the Breadknife rock formation, a pinnacle of rock visible on the Grand High Tops and Breadknife walk.
Coonabarabran is the closest town to Siding Springs Observatory and if you choose to visit it, you should go to Crystal Kingdom, a museum and shop dedicated to rocks and minerals. There, you'll be able to learn more about the area you just drove through in the National Park, including the two Warrambungle volcanoes.
Other things to do in this part of central New South Wales include the popular Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo and the Wellington Caves, both within a few hours of the observatory. Sydney is around 5 and a half hours away.
Where: National Park Road, Warrambungle National Park
When: Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 4.00pm, Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays from 10.00am to 4.00pm
Cost: The observatory is free but the Discovery Centre costs a few dollars and access to the National Park costs $7

Stolen fertility...and my quest to find it.: Its been forever!
My last post was exactly three weeks ago, which goes to show how lazy I am when it comes to blogging. But I hope you have noticed that I have been faithfully commenting on all your blog posts. So I have very much been around.
One of the reasons I haven't posted is because I don't seem to have much to say. Things have been going fine (thankfully). I consider myself very very fortunate that I have no pregnancy symptoms so far. No sickness so far, and hopefully it will stay that way. Although, the lack of symptoms is also accompanied by this nagging worry if everything is alright. I tried talking about this to one of my friends, and realized that others just won't get it. I tried telling her about how life teaches you so much. I am a worrier in general, but if it were not for the infertility, I think I would have been a lot more worry free about the pregnancy. It took us 1.5 yrs to get here, so I know of a million things that could potentially go wrong. It most probably will be alright, but still. This friend fell pregnant very easily with her child, so its hard to explain why I worry. She thought I was overdoing it (whcih I probably am). I know she was only trying to allay my fears, but at the end of the conversation, I realized that only someone who has gone through IF will understand the fears and the worries.
Luckily, we had a chance to put some of my fears to rest today. We had an U/S appointment with my OB. Everything is looking right on track. We saw the baby move! It was the most wonderful feeling. I know now why every woman is ready to walk to the end of the world and back, just to be able to carry her own child in her womb. I know now why we go through months of painful injections, just to be able to see that little heartbeat, the little limb buds waving at you.
During the U/S, I kept referring to the baby as "he", for no particular reason. My husband wanted to know why I was doing that, and I had no good explanation, except it was just a general reference and seemed easier than saying "the baby". But now I am wondering if I offended the little one in any way. So I have been trying to reassure him/her that all we care is for him/her to stick around and grow well.
There is another point I wanted to discuss. We were asked if we wanted to do the genetic testing/Nuchal testing. We discussed it briefly and decided against doing it. Mainly because this baby is much wanted, and I know that whatever the results of the tests, we are not going to change our minds about anything. My husband said "we will take what is given to us" and I agree wholeheartedly. I know some people like to do it, because it can be so reassuring. And I completely respect that decision. Also, my cousin was telling me about how with her second child, the test came back positive for Downs. They then had to do an amniocentesis, which came back negative. She said it was still a very harrowing time. I don't think I can go through something like that. What do you all think? Would you do it? Like I said before, I completely respect each person's decision, I was just interested to know why you would or wouldn't do it.
Last, but not the least, I'm sending loads of love and good wishes to those of you who are at various stages of their cycle, especially those waiting to start an IVF cycle, or waiting for their beta results (you all know who you are). I am keeping my everything crossed that good news will be yours soon.
Glad to hear that all is well! We also chose not to do the testing. Our thoughts were that it wouldn't change anything, we wouldn't do anything to end the pregnancy, a lot of times you get false positives with those tests so why add any more worry and anxiety to an already stressful situation? I'm with you - the baby is wanted no matter what so we'll take what we get.
all of the testing choices, eghhh. I always felt ambililant about the testing thinking that it really wasn't necessary unless you'd make a choice to end the pregnancy as a result of the testing. My husband on the other hand has always said that it would be better to know and be able to consider your options in advance. I wonder if his thinking will change now that pregnancy isn't so easy to come by. I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
It is pretty cool that you and your husband are on the same page with this first parenting decision!
I was right there with you. After all we went through to get our dd we didn't care what happened and turned down all the tests. We didn't find out what we were having. But we did take the opportunity to have u/s because it helped calm our fears. GL!
I am so happy to hear that you are expecting! I am wishing you all the best and look forward to follwoing your journey into motherhood.
We chose to do the trisomy tests, and find out the gender of our baby. I like to know things, I don't like to be kept in the dark. For me, it was very reassuring to know that everything was okay, and if it wasn't I wanted to know as soon as possible.
Your fears are completely normal. Hopefully they will fade as your pregnancy progresses uneventfully.

Eric Trump's wedding planner and former Vice President of the Eric Trump Foundation Lynne Patton has been appointed to run the region of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) which covers New York and New Jersey, the New York Daily News reports. She has no experience in urban planning.
She planned Eric Trump's wedding.
She was the Trump Organization event organizer of "upscale events and celebrity golf tournaments," PR, and fundraising.
She was an advisor to the Trump campaign.
Her only "featured skills" are event planning, public relations, fundraising, philanthropy, and promotions.
Her LinkedIn lists a juris doctor degree from the Quinnipiac University School of Law, which tells the New York Daily News that she only attended for two semesters–which she claims to have qualified by putting an "N/A" next to it.
Her immediate predecessor ran the nonprofit New Yorkers for Parks; another was Bill de Blasio.
As Patton's predecessor Holly Leicht has explained, HUD is "the meat and potatoes of keeping a city going." Through Patton's role at the federal level, she will be in charge of administering funds to absolutely vital city services like the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA), a crumbling labyrinth of federal/city/public/private actors which is so complicated that it takes a great deal of experience to fully understand how it works. NYCHA, by far the largest provider of low-income housing and rental subsidies in New York City, relies almost entirely on federal funding.
NYCHA, which has already been underfunded for years, needs $17 billion in upgrades. In March, NYCHA officials told the Wall Street Journal that HUD officials had warned of up to $150 million in funding cuts.
73,500 homeless people live in New York City. That is enough people to fill Yankee Stadium. And that's only part of the greater New York/New Jersey area which also relies on HUD funding for infrastructure, social services, and disaster recovery.

Dear Employer
Pithy 24 commentary for this week – someone needs to fire CTU's human resources department.
Wheat's Per Second Per Second Per Second Every Second has officially been released, but I've seen not hide nor hair of it in Canada. I still refuse to believe the album actually exists.
There are rumblings the US Department of Defence is talking about bringing back the draft. I wholeheartedly support discussion by the current government on this subject as it would pretty much guarantee Dubya and his cronies get turfed in next year's election by a public who aren't interested in dying in the name of oil and Halliburton.
np – Ryan Adams / Demolition
oh my god, that was good.
i just watched last night's 24.
dude, when the guy with the screens turned the monitors to ctu i thought, shit, this guy's got access to ctu's system! but then — he just walks right into the main floor at ctu… chilling.
another mole but i really love how they did it this time. we weren't screwed by it. they showed us this guy as a bad guy the whole time.
wow. this is good.
and the crackhouse scene?? intense.
hey, you know what i was thinking right before they went to the crackhouse?
they could kill off jack. they really can now. chase is such a good contender for it. of course i'd hate for jack to get killed but right now they can 'cause i'd watch it with chase as the main field agent.
really good episode.
Five Seventeen says:
No thoughts just yet.
They still haven't built up Kim's credibility yet, nor have they developed Chase's character enough to make me believe he'd be a good takeover character. I'd rather see Tony demoted to a field agent (We still don't know *that* much about him), if a new lead is ever in the future.
The mole is nice, but hardly an interesting twist and really having access to CTU at this point isn't all that important to the plot.
I expect there to be a few Red Herrings this season. I mean, why not introduce the seeds of a future season in this one?
i love the red herrings. and what i liked about this season's ctu mole is how they revealed it to us; in a much different fashion than the two previous seasons were every new ctu character was a suspected mole.
i like tony.
but i don't think he's ever been a field agent. of course he could be forced into being one. that would be cool.
but i like chase. of course we still don't know much about him but i like how he's being handled and how the actor is playing him.
maybe it's just me but i'm feeling like they're being a bit more laidback this season; which is a good thing. it doesn't mean there's less suspense, but they seem to be starting to find their groove.
11/5/03 2:45 pm
Tony is never ever going to become the focus of the show.
1) He's married.
2) He spends most of his time talking in a whispery voice. That won't work to fight terrorism.
3) No Bad-Actress daughter for the terrorist guys to kidnap. Yes, there is his wife, but he's currently using her as a glorified secretary so they can't be the closest of couples..
Need any more reasons???
Kim is destroying the show for me once again. Is this a soap opera, now? I'm fearing she's going to end up knowing who Kyle is (based on the look on her face when his name was mentioned), and the only way to confront him is going to be using Kim, or something to that effect.
Reasons Tony COULD become the focus of the show:
1) He's married. (his wife could die causing him to freak out!)
2) He spends most of his time talking in a whispery voice. (that's might creepy and a bit sociopathic… You saw Silence of the Lambs, right?)
3) After Jack dies there would be No Bad-Actress daughter for the terrorist guys to kidnap. phew.
4) I could see Tony telling off the President. I can't even see Jack doing that.
5) With Jack dead it would give General George Bauer (to be played by Donald Sutherland) a reason to demote Tony — who causes Jack's death — to a field agent, and personally take over CTU.
Donald Sutherland? But he's with the Russians…
(ahem.. changing the topic)
Who knew that Nina married George?
(Sarah Clarke married Xander Berkeley in Sept, 02)
… but Nina's so evil and George is so good….
I knew they had married. And now George is dead. Nina must be so upset. I wouldn't mind if they brought her character back (season 4 maybe). I didn't like her too much in season 2, but she was great in season 1.
Wow, I'm not around for one morning and my blog turns into the 24 water cooler!
Um, I gave Kim a chance last week but she's pissing me off again. But on the bright side, with their track record CTU's personnel department has probably hired the mountain lion and it'll eat her before hour 6.
Chase hasn't impressed me yet, doesn't seem to have much character. And his name is Chase. I can't get past that.
Tony could never become the principal because no one can forget his horrid soul patch from season 1. That's the sort of thing that haunts you for a lifetime.
They should bring back Nina. And George, as a smart-ass ghost who gives Jack advice.
Character development is still in the works as I am still getting to know everyone, as the episode went on we had the fear of this being too basic, but by the end it started to get interesting, so who knows? CTU could be targeted once again, but hey if Kim gets killed off, I really won't care this time.
You're right… deep down I know it's the soul patch that revealed he wasn't lead material… but part of me can continue to hope.. right? right!?
(I would like to see Donald though)
nina married george?? that is so cool! ha!
the main reason why i like how this season's going is how they seem to be inching into the story rather than throw at us. and i do feel there's some fine character development slowly going on that was never there in the first two seasons because they were too busy throwing kim to a cougar or making jack kill a suspect before he could tell him the big secret.
i'm tired of that.
they're letting it breathe, it seems.
No 24 comment…but the new Wheat *is* out. I picked up my copy on Tuesday (of course, I live about 30 minutes from the guys in the band). My past experience is that Aware sucks at distribution. The latest Bleu album had similar distribution and slipping release date problems. I've been having difficulty with my ipod, so I haven't actually *heard* the disc yet, but I do have it my grubby little hands.

Sinfonia di guerra (Counterpoint) è un film del 1968 diretto da Ralph Nelson, tratto dal romanzo The General di Alan Sillitoe.

Trama
Belgio, 1944: Lionel Evans è un direttore di un'orchestra degli Stati Uniti. Durante un concerto, irrompono le truppe naziste, guidate dal colonnello Arndt, che catturano il direttore e i componenti dell'orchestra, deportandoli in un castello dove dovrebbero essere uccisi, ma a bloccare l'esecuzione è il generale Schiller, amante della musica classica, che chiede infatti di eseguire dei pezzi per le truppe. Evans rifiuta, pensando a uno stratagemma per sfuggire all'esecuzione, ma Schiller in realtà è intenzionato a liberare l'orchestra. Quando un gruppo di partigiani attacca il castello, dopo aver diretto il concerto chiesto dal generale, i musicisti vengono messi in salvo, mentre Evans, che sta per essere ucciso da Arndt, viene salvato da Schiller.
