Def Leppard's 'Retro-Active' Turns 20
By the start of the '90s, Def Leppard had established themselves, not only as one of the world's premier hard rock rock bands, but also one of its most unfortunate.
By the start of the '90s, Def Leppard had established themselves, not only as one of the world's premier hard rock rock bands, but also one of its most unfortunate.
When Southern rockers Molly Hatchet unveiled their eponymous debut album 35 years ago, all they wanted was a shot to get their career up and running on a national level, following three years of dues-paying in and around the humid swamps of their native Florida. But for a greedy record industry, fairly chomping at the bit to find the next Lynyrd Skynyrd (whose plane infamously crashed in late 1977, killing several band members and crew), Molly Hatchet and other rising Southern rockers like Blackfoot, .38 Special, Doc Holliday, etc., were just grist for the music mill.
Why do we celebrate Halloween by putting on bizarre outfits and asking strangers for candy? Who is Stingy Jack, and why does he haunt our dreams? We decided to take a look at a few of Halloween's most well-known customs and ask, What do they all mean?
Much has been made - and rightly so - about Black Sabbath's almost-reunion, minus founding drummer Bill Ward, to record 2013's '13' album, an astounding 35 years after Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler last collaborated on an LP, 'Never Say Die!,' which was released this weekend in 1978.
You could make a strong case that 1978 was "the year of the live album," with a slew of now-legendary releases including AC/DC's 'If You Want Blood (You've Got it),' The Band's 'Last Waltz,' Blue Oyster Cult's 'Some Enchanted Evening,' David Bowi
When Motley Crue released its sophomore album, 'Shout at the Devil,' this week in 1983, they already wanted to rule the world. But they'd endured such desperate living conditions while scratching and clawing their way out of the Hollywood gutter, that just earning enough money to buy a sandwich probably still felt pretty damn exciting.
Guitarists all over England were in awe when they saw Jimi Hendrix -- a then 24 year old prodigy -- play for the first time on their soil. Sept. 24, 1966, marks his arrival in London, an experience that would forever change rock history.
Jim Morrison made a career of nodding off at inopportune moments. He passed out when the rest of the Doors were expecting him in the studio. He passed out in the studio. He passed out before concerts and after concerts. And sometimes, like on Sept. 15, 1968, he passed out during concerts -- onstage as the audience and his bandmates watched him collapse into an unwashed mound of rock-star excess.
As the 70s rounded the final turn and barreled down the main stretch of classic rock's golden era, arguably no star was shining brighter over American's infinite heartland, possibly verging on supernova, than that of guitar hero Ted Nugent - he of the loincloth, lascivious grin, larger-than-life persona, and blazing fretboard-tickling fingers.
Richard Wright, in the time just before his passing in 2008, was in the midst of something of a comeback alongside his Pink Floyd bandmate David Gilmour.

Customer: Theyre not for me, theyre for my dad. Hes a diabetic and needs them for his insulin. Me: Okay. I still need to see some ID. Do you know his date of birth? Customer: Ill never forget his date of birth. I had it tattooed on my arm the day he died. (The customer proceeds to show everyone in the pharmacy the tattoo of his deceased fathers DOBthe same father that he is trying to buy syringes for.)

Smart Pranks Everyone With Massively Ginormous New Smart Car
Small cars are getting bigger and bigger. This is a fact. Blame safety standards, blame the changing tastes of the public, blame the fact that human beings are incredibly fat. Even the new Smart Fortwo is growing in size — it now dwarfs many large commercial trucks.
This Might Be The 2015 Smart ForTwo And It Looks Way Different
Our eagle-eyed readers have caught Smart ForTwo development mules out testing before, but those looked like slapped-together botchjobs. These two, captured together outside a hotel in Illinois, look much closer to production, and much different from the current model.
Giant Florida Sinkhole Swallows Tiny Smart Car
Sinkholes are no laughing matter. Unless, of course, they swallow up cars that we all agree are completely loathsome, like that Dodge Avenger in Chicago a while back. Here's another one we can add to that list: a Smart Fortwo swallowed by a sinkhole in our favorite state, Florida.
'Cute Is The Word We Think Best Describes The Smart Fortwo'
Every time I see a Smart Fortwo on the road, and it's not decked out in Car2Go livery, I have just one thought: "You didn't pay for that with your actual money, right?"
This Is Why People Think Smart ForTwo Drivers Are Asshats
The Smart Fortwo is small enough to park two to a space, which makes a ForTwo taking up two spaces in Portugal a particularly exceptional example of asshattery. This tiny car may be driven by the biggest asshat yet.
When In Rome, Keep Your Smart Crocheted
We've come a long way from Pope Benedict XVI's Ferrari Enzo. Photographed in Vatican City, this crocheted Smart is more Rastafari than Catholic. Which doesn't make it uncool. At all. Photo Credit: StartTheDay
IIHS: Small Electric Cars And Minitrucks Suck In Crashes
Small vehicles like the GEM e2 and Tiger minitruck advertise low cost and efficiency, but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety thinks they shouldn't share the road with regular vehicles. Here's the dramatic test footage to back up their point.
Yeah, This Isn't Very Smart
There are many problems with the US-spec Smart Fortwo. Barely hitting Honda Civic-level fuel economy and trash can interior storage space are two. This driver solved that little problem with a car topper not fit for the car. (Thanks Michael)
Ice-Road Truckin' In A Smart ForTwo
Paul Shippey drove a Smart ForTwo across Canada's Dempster Highway, one of the roads featured in Ice Road Truckers and the only all-weather road into the Arctic Circle. This is his crazy story, which originally appeared on Wired.com. —Ed.
New Smart Marketing Mini-Site Weird, Occasionally NSFW
What do a naked man, a bloodhound, two guys dressed as hot dogs and the Smart Fortwo have in common? They're all on a new Smart mini-site that is anything but normal.
IIHS: Only Smart Fortwo Gets "Good" Roof Strength Rating
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, never short of tests, put six mini/microcars to the roof strength test. The result? If you have to, you might be better off rolling a Smart Fortwo than flipping an Aveo.
The Right Way to Drive a Smart Car at the Woodward Dream Cruise
While the Smart is a road car, the Woodward Dream Cruise is definitely not where it was designed to travel. There is, however, a way to pull off the most unlikely trick of cruising in one here.
Latest Dutch Craze: Tossing Smart ForTwos Into A Canal
Thought you and your friends in high school were funny when you turned old Mr. Johnson's Beetle sideways in its spot? Well brother, you have nothing on the hooligans tossing defenseless parked Smart ForTwos into Amsterdam's canals.
Smart ForTwo EV Going On Sale In UK, Testing In Other Euro Cities
The Smart ForTwo EV has made it through fleet testing and because of the popular response will now be available in limited numbers for public sale. It's still tiny and expensive, but now even slower!
Smart To Offer U.S. Buyers Incentives For First Time
With low sales due partly to relatively lower fuel prices, Smart plans to offer U.S. ForTwo buyers incentives for the first time, starting with 4.2% financing for loans of up to 60 months. Next they'll try free fuzzy dice. [AutoNews]

I am a hardcore pc rts player. I was shocked when I tried this game. It is Hands down the best real time strategy game for the iOS. I just hope they update multiplayer and make it more smooth. And also add option to play online in "faster mode"
By far one of the best iOS games I've played and I'm a die hard rts strategy player, the price was kind of high for me but this game was worth every penny

"It's perplexing to me this sudden rush of people going out and buying guns just because of an election. Now, these people apparently didn't need the protection they think they need now before the election, but here they are going out and buying the guns. That's irrational thinking. That's acting on impulse. And if you combine those two emotions, some innocent person is going to get hurt."
"Thomas Jefferson said the beauty of the Second Amendment is that it won't be needed until they try to take it."
"To the person who said, 'Wake up, they're coming to get our guns,' that's not true. Our president and vice president are trying to prevent the machine guns that killed 20 kids and six adults at this school out of the hands of people that's not capable of having them and to get universal background checks. That's all they're trying to do. They're not going to take your guns. All they're trying to prevent is those kind of guns and get them out of the hands of people who don't know how to use them and are crazy."
"After reading the hysteria and the lack of information and knowledge that a lot of people call in about guns or the national debt or that Obama's going to get you, you know, I used to work with an attorney and he had a byword. He'd just always say, 'ignorance abounds.' And, gosh, here in Alabama, it sure does."
"Let's accept it. Rich people aren't happier than those of us who are not. They can just travel more and buy more stuff to fight over later."
"President Obama, when we finally get our troops out of Afghanistan, are we going to stop wasting billions of dollars over there?"
"I was calling in regard to police departments having cameras and everything in their cars ... I was behind a Muscle Shoals policeman the other day that was on the phone. He ran across the yellow line twice. If it had been one of us, we would have been arrested."
"I see in Saturday's paper there's another long article about the dangers of global warming. Answer me one question. What is the proper temperature for the world and since mankind came on the scene, how many years have we been at the proper temperature for the world? You don't know because nobody knows. So, leave me alone. All you're doing is spreading propaganda and nonsense."
"Read the book of Daniel and see what God has done to nations that's turned their back on him and leaders that have turned their backs on him. It happened then. It can happen now. America, let's turn back to God. Let's worship the one and only savior. He's the one that made our nation. He's the one that brought us so far and let's pray for his nation of Israel that they'll be able to withstand the onslaught that's coming. And pray for America."
"To the person that called in about the Muscle Shoals Police Department, they hit it on the head. They need to replace everybody over there but about two of them that's good."
"Please do something about the litter on East Second Street in Sheffield near the red light by Woodward Avenue. The rains recently have upped the ditches in water. People drive by. Our street is pitiful."
"All these people that have committed crimes, serious crimes, have went through background checks and still went bad. The only way you're going to stop crime is take the toys out of their hands. If they don't have nothing to shoot with, then they can't kill nobody with it. So, the best thing to do is disarm them. Because the people that done all these bad crimes were checked and they bought them legit - and they still done it."
"I'm agreeing with the lady that posted about people worshipping the coach from Alabama. I absolutely agree. The state of Alabama has gone crazy over Alabama football and Crimson Tide. If that many people gets excited about praising the Lord, what they did praising Nick Saban and Alabama football, what a revival the turnout in the South."
"This is in regard to the Tuscumbia/Littleville water predicament. For years we've had to pay an outrageous amount for our water to put in our homes in Colbert Heights from Tuscumbia through Littleville. So, it's time we get a lower rate, a significantly lower rate. Let the people in Tuscumbia pay $30 to $40 a month water bill. Then maybe they'll lower the rates."
"You ought to put Cynthia Tucker's column in the section with the funny papers, because that's what it is. It's really funny. The woman has no clue. The only other job I know she could get would probably be an adviser to Obama. She could probably walk right into that spot with her way of thinking ... her liberal view on everything."
"I read in the paper and hear about all the time about the Second Amendment that gives people the right to bear arms. But what people don't understand, when this right was given to them, the people only had single-shot guns. They didn't have weapons of mass destruction. And back in those days if these weapons were used to inflict harm or kill someone else, the people were taken out in the court square and hung by the neck until dead. If we would start doing some of that type stuff again and get rid of some of these slick-tongued lawyers, the country would be a whole lot better off."
"So Russellville is considering selling water to Littleville. We are on the Franklin County Water System that gets water from Russellville. One person pays $35 a month. Two people pay $51 a month, being conservative. A family of four pay $90 a month. If they can sell it to Littleville for less, why not sell it to Franklin County Water System for less? It's a big rip-off."

Method of fabricating thin film capacitors US 3330696 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) July 11 1957 L. R. ULLERY, JR., ETAL 3,330,696 METHOD OF FABRICATING THIN FILM CAPACITORS Filed April 27, 1964 M Illu 7N w y @V H f y M 7 W f i m9 @M A/ @A M7 M Tw PM ww 6M ff Mm l 5f f 7 w /f ,v 4 f f f w .l E E Wl W W, ,HW f /ri 1mm l fl1\\\ L my L j i L @W2/All 4f f 4 d United States Patent O 3,330,696 METHOD OF FABRICATING THIN FILM CAPACITORS Lee R. Ullery, Jr., Simsbury, Conn., and Domenick J. Garibotti, Longmeadow, Mass., assignors to United Aircraft Corporation, East Hartford, Conn., a corporation of Delaware Filed Apr. 27, 1964, Ser. No. 362,853 8 Claims. (Cl. 117-212) This invention relates to thin film electrical circuit components. More particularly, this invention is directed to an improved method for fabricating thin film capacitors and the device produced by this novel method. In the usual case, a thin film capacitor comprises a substrate and layers of material bonded thereto. For example, a common form of thin film capacitor comprises a ceramic wafer upon which two conductive films separated by a dielectric layer have been deposited. Present techniques for the fabrication of thin film capacitors normally comprise the formation of the multilayer structure on the substrate by techniques such as vacuum deposition or sputtering through a mask. Once the conductive layers, which form the capacitor plates, and the dielectric layer have been deposited, a plurality of devices may be isolated from each other by various state-of-the-art techniques. Deposition of the layers which comprise the capacitor through a mask has been found to be an unsatisfactory approach since each capacitor configuration requires the design and manufacturing of a specific mask. Also, and more importantly, in the prior art the only control available insofar as the ultimate value of capacitors is concerned was the thickness of the dielectric material. That is, once a mask and the dielectric material had been selected, the size of the capacitor plates is fixed and the only means to control the capacitance resided in controlling the distance between the plates by regulating the length of time during which the dielectric material was deposited over the first deposited conductive layer. Since this control is difficult and further since changes in dielectric constant often occur after deposition, it has been found that thin film capacitors fabricated by the prior art techniques have a tolerance about the specified value. Other prior art techniques, such as anodizing the first formed plate to produce a dielectric material, are limited because they require that the substrates must be exposed to an aqueous solution. Quite often such exposure degrades other components previously deposited on the wafers. This invention overcomes the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and permits fabrication of thin film capacitors having extremely low tolerance. To accomplish the foregoing, the conductive plates and the separating dielectric material are deposited on a substrate by prior art methods such as vacuum deposition, sputtering and pyrolytic deposition. After stabilization and cooling to room temperature, the multilayer structure is electron beam scribed to isolate it into a plurality of capacitors. In the prior art, such isolation had been achieved by photoetching or mechanical processes such as micro Sandblasting techniques. However, these prior art techniques are inferior to an electron beam subtractive process since they degrade the exposed surfaces of the device and result in lrelatively Wide cuts thus considerably reducing useful area and efficiency. Also, when the mechanical etching processes such as Sandblasting or diamond scribing are utilized, the insulation base or substrate is torn and the conductive material is frequently not completely removed leaving small conductive bridges across the desired gap. Thus, reproducibility of manufacture is not attainable. Further, as should be obvious, mechanical or photochemical processes are extremely slow as compared to an electron beam scribing procedure. Further advan- 3,330,695 Patented July 11, 1967 Mice tages of electron beam scribing reside in the ability to automate, by programming the deiiection of the electron beam, and the ability to constantly monitor the value of the device during the process. While resulting in substantial improvement, electron beam is-olating of thin film devices can not by itself result in the production of thin film capacitors having very small tolerances. That is, the isolation of a plurality of capacitors by electron beam scribing results in a process which may be automated and which will be rapid and reproducible. However, the tolerance of these independent capacitors is still controllable only by varying the thickness of the dielectric material which separated the capacitor plates. This invention overcomes all of the above-described limitations and disadvantages of the prior art and provides a method of producing thin film capacitors having `extremely low tolerances. It is therefore an object of this invention to fabricate a thin film capacitor. It is a further object of this invention to fabricate thin film capacitors having lower tolerances than previously available. It is also an object of this invention to fabricate thin film capacitors by a process which is capable of automation and susceptible of reproducibility. It is yet another object of this invention to fabricate thin film capacitors having low tolerances rapidly and inexpensively. These and other objects of this invention are accomplished by depositing a multilayer structure consisting of two conductive layers, which comprise the capacitor plates, and a separating layer of dielectric material on a substrate. The multilayer structure is then electron beam scribed to isolate several discrete capacitors. In this scribing step, both conductive layersiand the insulating layer are removed to the substrate surface thus achieving complete isolation. The upper conductive layer, which forms the upper conductive plate of each of the capacitors, is then trimmed by an electron beam scribing or subtractive process until the desiredcapacitance results. As each of the discrete capacitors is trimmed to value, the leakage path between the upper and lower electrodes is simultaneously increased by the preferential removal of metal from the edges of the uppe-r plate. This invention may be better understood and its various advantages will be obvious to those skilled in the art by reference to the accompanying drawing wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements in the various figures and in which: FIGURES l through 6 illustrate various stages or steps in the fabrication of a thin film capacitor in accordance with this invention. FIGURE 7 illustrates apparatus used in performance of the steps illustrated by FIGURES l through 6. To fabricate a capacitor in accordance with this invention, the conductive and dieleceric films must first be deposited on a substrate. As a general rule, the three layers are deposited as area films through three masks to produce the overlapping structure best shown by FIGURES l and 2. In these figures, the substrate is indicated at 10, the lower conductive film or capacitor plate at 12, the dielectric material at 14 and the upper conductive film or capacitor plate at 16. As shown in the drawing, contact may be made to the lower conductive layer'by contact pads 18 and 20 and to the upper conductive layer by contact pads 22 and 24. These contact pads are deposited on the substrate prior to the build-up of the multilayer structure. To -be suitable, the substrate material must conform to the requirements imposed by the various process steps. It is preferred that the substrate be possessed of a smooth surface whch s completely free from sharp changes n o contour. The substrate should also be able to withstand temperatures as high as 300 to 400 C. since it may be heated to temperatures in this range during the deposition steps. Also, the substrate material should have a high resistivity. Preferred substrate materials for this invention consist of glasses and ceramics. After cleaning according to practices well known in the art, the substrate will be suitably positioned behind a mask and a vacuum deposition apparatus. The techniques for applying the films to the substrate are well known in the art and are not considered a part of this invention. For a complete explanation of such vacuum deposition techniques, reference may be had to Vacuum Deposition of Thin Films, by L. Holland, published by Iohn Wiley and Sons, Inc., New York, 1956. In one example, conductive films 12 and 16 may be vacuum deposited aluminum 3000 A. thick while dielectric layer 14 will be vacuum deposited SiOx 10,000 A. thick. The three deposition steps, as mentioned above, utilize three masks so as to produce the multilayer structure shown in FIGURES 1 and 2. In this structure, lower conductive layer or plate 12 is in electrical contact with pads 13 and 20 and is insulated from upper conductive layers 16 by dielectric layer 14. Upper conductive layer 16 wraps around dielectric layer 14 and makes electrical contact with pads 22 and 24. After stabilization by annealing, at 200 C. in the case of the above composite, and cooling to room temperature, the multilayer structure shown 'm FIGURES 1 and 2 is positioned on a movable work table in the evacuated work chamber of an electron beam machine. Such a machine is shown in FIGURE 7. In this figure, the substrate with the three layers deposited thereon is depicted as being located on a movable work table 26 in the vacuum chamber of an aparatus which generates an intense beam of electrons. As noted above, and as will lbe explained more fully below, there are a number of advantages inherent in the use of an electron beam as a tool for working materials. In order to obtain these advantages, the electron beam generator utilized must be a precision instrument capable of providing ahighly focused electron beam. U.S. 'Patent No. 2,987,610, issued June 6, 1961, to K. H. Steigerwald, discloses such as electron beam machine. Apparatus such as that shown in the Steigerwald patent, as a result of recently developed refinements in electron optics, can provide a beam focused to produce power densities on the order of 10 billion watts per square inch. Such beams may be collimated so as to have diameters in the micron range at the point of impingement on the work. As is now well known, electron beam machines are devices which use the kinetic energy of an electron beam to work a material. An electron beam is a tool which has practically no mass but has high kinetic energy lbecause of the extremely high velocity imparted to the electrons. Transfer of this kinetic energy to the lattice electrons of the workpiece generates higher lattice vibrations which cause an increase in temperature within the impingement area suflicient to accomplish work. In an electron beam scribing process, the increase in temperature is of sufficient magnitude to cause vaporization of the material impinged upon. As mentioned above, there are a number of inherent advantages in using the electron beam as a tool to work materials. The most important of these advantages resides in the fact that the electron beam as a tool can be easily controlled since it may be readily focused, its power simply adjusted and it may be precisely deflected electrically to any desired point. Also, a beam of electrons is extremely pure in the chemical sense in that it contains no contaminates and, since working with an electron beam is usually performed in a vacuum, the possibility of unwanted contamination of the work is virtually eliminated. Referring now again to FIGURE 7, an electron beam machine is shown generally as 30. In machine 30 electrons are emitted by a directly heated cathode 32 which is connected to a source of heating current 34. The electrons emitted by cathode 32 are caused to be accelerated toward the workpiece by a negative D.C. acceleration voltage which is applied between cathode 32 and a grounded, apertured anode 36. The accelerated electrons are focused into a beam 38 by means clearly shown and described in the above-mentioned Steigerwald patent. The electron beam 38 is focused to provide the desired beam diameter or spot size at the workpiece by varying the current supplied to magnetic lens assembly 40 from a lens current supply 42. Initially, beam 38 will be gated off by a blocking voltage applied between the cathode 32 and a control electrode 42 by a bias voltage control 44. Bias voltage control 44, which is connected between the negative terminal of acceleration voltage supply 46 and the cathode and control electrode, may be of the type disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 214,313, filed Aug. 2, 1962, and now Patent No. 3,177,434, by I. A. Hansen, and assigned to the same assignee as this invention. Beam 38 will be gated on in response to commands generated by a tape control 50 and supplied to bias control 44. Beam 38 may be caused to trace a desired pattern on the workpiece, which in this case is a multilayer structure formed on substrate 10, by varying the current supplied by deflection voltage supply 51 to a set of magnetic deflection coils 52, only two of which are shown, or by causing motor 54 to drive movable table 26 in the desired direction. Both the beam deflection and the movement of table 26 may be programmed by information read into tape control 50. Tape control 50, which may alternatively be any well known means for storing several channels Yof digital information and for reading out this information in analog form, may also be utilized to control the beam intensity and thus its penetration by controlling the magnitude of the pulses supplied to control electrode 42 by bias control 44. Similarly, control 50 may be utilized to control the focus of the beam by regulating lens current supply 42. As mentioned above, the first step in the practice of this invention comprises the deposition or otherwise forming of the multilayer structure depicted in FIGURES 1 and 2. This multilayer structure is positioned on the movable work table 26 of electron beam machine 30 and the table is positioned generally in line with the axis of beam 3S. The work chamber of the electron beam machine is then evacuated and the beam generator activated. As mentioned above, one of the first steps in the fabrication of the multilayer structure comprised the formation of contact pads 18, 20, 22, and 24 on the edges of substrate 10. Since, in the example situation to be described, four contact pads are established on the substrate, the multilayer structure lends itself to the fabrication of two thin lm capacitors. However, it is to be understood, that more than two such devices may be isolated on one surface of the substrate and that the other side of the substrate may also be utilized for the fabrication of thin lm capacitors or other passive devices or for the mounting of active devices and thin hlm circuitry. After proper positioning of the multilayer structure in the electron beam machine, tape control 50 will take command and cont-rol the operation. However alternatively, the steps to be recited below may be controlled manually by an operator of the electron beam machine. The rst step to be performed with the electron beam machine is the scribing of the multilayer structure to isolate two capacitors. In order to accomplish the foregoing, the beam intensity and the rate of relative movement between the beam and the Work are selected such that the beam will penetrate through all three layers but will cause in the most extreme situation, only very slight fusing of the surface of the substrate. In the case where beam deflection is utilized to produce the relative motion, the beam will preferably be deflected across the workpiece and will operate in a pulsed mode. That is, the beam will be dellected completely across the workpiece while being pulsed on and olf thereby generating a series of overlapping beam impingement points. Utilizing a pulsed mode of operation minimizes the heat effected zone by giving material adjacent the beam impingement point an opportunity to cool down between the pulses. However, due to the extremely high kinetic energy of the electrons which comprise beam 38, the material in the path of the beam will be vaporized and a cut or groove, as is shown in FIGURES 3 and 4, wherein all material has been removed will result. At this point, after isolation of the capacitors, prior art methods of the fabrication of thin film capacitors were completed. That is, after the step of isolation by some method such as diamond scribing or chemical milling, the values of the capactors were measured and, if within of the desired value, they were treated as useable devices. In accordance with this invention, further steps are performed to bring the thin yfilm capacitors within 1% of the desired value. These further steps comprise reducing the beam intensity and/or increasing the speed of relative movement between the beam and the work such that the beam will only penetrate to the depth of upper conductive layer 16. This penetration control may be done automatically under the command of tape cont-rol 50. The readjusted beam is directed to impinge on upper conductive layer l16 along the edge of the isolation region or groove produced by the preceding electron beam scribing step. The beam is then caused to be deflected and pulsed in the manner described above whereby upper conductive layer 16 is cut back. By this subtractive process, the size of the upper plate of the capacitor is reduced thereby adjusting the capacitance toward the desired value. Prior to positioning the multilayer structure in the work chamber of the electron beam machine, leads were connected from the contact pads to a capacitance measuring or comparing device 56 such as a capacitance bri-dge. This device compares the capacitance of the thin film device being fabricated to that of a known standard capacitor 58 and, when the desired capacitance value is precisely reached, device 56 vw'll produce a signal which is transmitted to the tape control 50 to cause the operation to be halted. As will be obvious to those skilled in the art, monitoring the capacitance can be most readily accomplished during the intervals between pulses of the electron beam. Top and cross sectional views of the resulting substrate with two thin film capacitors formed thereon a-re respectively shown in FIGURES 5 and 6. From FIG- URE 6 a second obvious advantage of the method of this invention will be apparent. That is, from FIGURE 6 it is obvious that the dielectric surface path length between the capacitor plates is substantially longer than that obtained by previous methods of thin film capacitor fabrication. The increased dielectric surface path length, of course, makes the devices less susceptible to shorting and leakage and thus increases component life. While one embodiment has been shown and described, various modifications may -be made without deviation from the spirit and scope of this invention. For example, by depositing a layer of insulating material and then another conductive layer over the multilayer structure shown in FIGURES 1 through 6, and then practicing the novel method of this invention, four rather than two capacitors may be formed on one surface of one substrate. Also, while the method of this invention has been described as preferably being performed with an intense beam of electrons, it is conceivable that the energized beam generated by a laser could also be used to achieve the same results. Thus, the foregoing description and explanation of this invention are not to be considered as limiting this invention which is defined solely by the appended claims taken in view of the prior art. We claim: 1.

Kosong County is a kun, or county, in Kangwon province, North Korea. It lies in the southeasternmost corner of North Korea, immediately north of the Korean Demilitarized Zone. Prior to the end of the Korean War in 1953, it made up a single county, together with what is now the South Korean county of the same name. In a subsequent reorganization, the county absorbed the southern portion of Tongchon county.
Physical features[edit]
Kosong is largely mountainous, but there is flat land along the coast of the Sea of Japan (East Sea of Korea) to the county's east. The mountains here are part of the Taebaek range. A portion of Kumgangsan mountain is included in the county.
The local economy is dominated by agriculture, although fishing also plays a role, together with the harvesting of brown seaweed and clams. Significant local crops include rice, maize, soybeans, wheat, and barley. It is particularly well known as a source for bamboo handicrafts.
- Rail
There is no rail line to Kosong. The original rail line to Sokcho was destroyed during the Korean War and never rebuilt.
- Sea
The nearest major port is Wonsan.
Goseong is the world's leading tourist destination that is harmonius mountains, the valley, forest, historical site, etc. focused on the Mount Kumgang. Due to north-south division of the state the many attractions are undeveloped.

Technical stuff: Done in Flash 8, at 24 fps almost entirely on one ones with next to no tweening for character animations. Everything was redrawn and re laid out with no tracing. Animated with symbols, no fbf drawing for the most part.
The idea: take the intro to MLP: FiM, and remake it with girls instead of ponies using the same constraints with characters and animation that the show has, which is why they all have the same basic shapes. When I started I planned to try and mimic the style of Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls, but I think ultimately I think I landed closer to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I hope you like it either way.

Why does the fuel filter have wires going to it?
John answered 2 years ago
you know caddy? I have owned 4 and worked for Gm and depending the package there are WIRES!!!!! that happen to be fastened to the bracket housing the filter(or run along it) on 03-05 deville!!!!!!!!!!!!
John answered 2 years ago
Running past or along it sure but not to it. And they wont be visible unless the plastic is pulled back from them. You have to remember these people aren't mechanics and when you say running to it they may look past the filter thinking yea its round and metallic but no wires here. Just attempting to help prevent you from headaches in the future due to someone misinterpreting what your saying. This site is also filled with questions from people who don't know English very well and what you say is taken very literally.

Generally speaking, the Roman Catholics have taught throughout most of their history that church tradition shares authority with the Scriptures. However, the latest teaching document in Britain virtually denies that the entire Bible is the inspired Word of God.
"Roman Catholics throughout Britain are being encouraged to reaffirm the Bible as foundational for their faith, and to make its critical appreciation a key part of their discipleship and church identity. This week a major new teaching document from the Catholic Bishops of England, Wales and Scotland is being presented in Rome" ("Catholics Encouraged to Give Emphasis to the Bible," www.ekklesia.co.uk/content/news_syndication/article_050914bible.shtml , emphasis added throughout article).
While the above statement may be "true" from the bishops' point of view, the actual booklet itself falls far short of the way Jesus Christ and the apostles looked at the Bible. Perhaps the key phrase in understanding the Catholic position is "its critical appreciation." Two senior Catholic cardinals, residing in Scotland and England respectively, wrote the preface. So the document has the official imprimatur of regional church authority.
Although clearly sympathetic to the Catholic point of view, Ruth Gledhill, religion correspondent of The Times (London) summed up the overall effect: "The hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church [in Britain] has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true" (Oct. 5, 2005).
One telling quotation from the document itself, titled The Gift of Scripture, is very revealing. "We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision." Although clearly claiming that Scripture is true when it comes to passages referring to salvation, the document continues: "We should not expect total accuracy from the Bible in...secular matters" (The Catholic Truth Society, 2005).
Genesis, Exodus, Proverbs and Revelation
The book of Genesis in particular comes under heavy attack in this new teaching document issued in partial celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council. For instance, the first and second chapters of Genesis are deemed contradictory rather than complementary.
Another disturbing statement is found on page 25 of The Gift of Scripture: "It became clear that the material found in these [first 11] chapters of Genesis could not simply be described as historical writing. Though they may contain some historical traces, the primary purpose was to provide religious teaching ( The Jewish People 27-28)." ( The Jewish People is an official Catholic document produced by the Pontifical Biblical Commission in 2001 and is quoted several times as an authoritative source in The Gift of Scripture .)
Some events in the book of Exodus are also questioned. "The entry into the promised land is seen as a fulfillment of the divine promise, but the narratives raise serious theological questions" (p. 27). The book of Proverbs is also denigrated in this way: "Some proverbs are profound and weighty, while others are somewhat trivial" (p. 30).
Parts of the book of Revelation are viewed quite differently than a Bible student would understand them from a normal reading of this final book of Scripture—even taking the clearly identified symbolic portions into account. The booklet says: "Such symbolic language must be respected for what it is, and not be interpreted literally. We should not expect to discover in this book details about the end of the world" (p. 48).
We disagree; we have long emphasized the principle that the Bible interprets the Bible.
It is here that Catholic hierarchy embarks on some very dangerous ground. The closing passages of Revelation itself should be very instructive to everyone who reads and seeks to truly understand this biblical book. "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book... If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book" (Revelation:22:18-19 [18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
). Sobering words indeed!
The Catholic bishops are responsible for teaching 5,000,000 lay members in England, Scotland and Wales. They would do well to reexamine the words of Jesus Himself in regard to these crucial matters. Our Savior personally authenticated the creation of the world and that of Adam and Eve, our first parents (see Mark:13:19For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.; Matthew:19:4-5 [4] And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
[5] And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
). Christ also clearly said, "The Scripture cannot be broken" (John:10:35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;).
The apostolic teaching of Paul and Peter
The apostles Paul and Peter add to the force of these sayings of Christ. Paul said that he believed all things that were written in the law and the prophets (Acts:24:14But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:). He also told Timothy, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy:3:16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:).
The writers of The Gift of Scripture put a great deal of emphasis on what they term "the human dimension of Scripture." The apostle Peter directly contradicts this human reason. He was inspired to write: "Knowing this first [emphasizing its importance], that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit" (2 Peter:1:20-21 [20] Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
[21] For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
He wrote these words not long before his martyrdom. They emerge not only from his personal experience of being taught directly by Christ Himself, but also from several decades of his Christian life afterwards. These words were tested by long years of living experience. Under God's inspiration, this is the true testimony of an authentic apostle of Jesus Christ.
Christians do not have any biblical right to "cherry-pick" which portions of the Bible they deem to be true as opposed to other areas they view as questionable. All 66 books of the Bible (which constitute the Old and New Testaments) are the authentic and authoritative Word of God.
Do not draw unwarranted conclusions
The views of the British Catholic Church establishment may not fully represent those of the Vatican in Rome, other national Catholic hierarchies or even lay members in Britain. So we must be cautious not to draw unwarranted conclusions about the biblical beliefs of the Roman Catholic Church as a whole. Britain and Europe are becoming more and more secular and these national trends inevitably end up affecting church groups within those nations.
Also, many theologians have long promulgated the liberal beliefs described in The Gift of Scripture as noted in this article. They are not new. It is surprising, however, that any part of a church with such a long historical pedigree would embrace them.
If you would like to know and understand more about the compelling evidence that establishes the credibility of Scripture, please request our free booklet Is the Bible True? And to see how truly relevant the book of Revelation is, ask for The Book of Revelation Unveiled .
We also publish a free 12-lesson Bible Study Course , which gives students an overview of God's plan for mankind, as well as valuable instruction on how it applies in everyday life.
Lesson 2 in particular explains and emphasizes why the Bible is the Word of God. You can study the course online at gnmagazine.org, or you can receive printed copies by mail. WNP

Thin LineExtra! Extra! Lies!Oh, to live in a progressive paradise. On Wednesday, Nov. 12, pranksters handed out thousands of fake copies of the New York Times with the front-page headline "Iraq War Ends" to commuters at several busy New York subway stations. If only the headlines were more than just empty words. The paper, which is dated July 4, 2009, also includes stories with headers like "Maximum Wage Law Succeeds," "Nation Sets Its Sights on Building Sane Economy" and "Ex-Secretary Apologizes for W.M.D. Scare." The elaborate ruse was carried out by three unnamed Times employees, a film promoter and an art professor. Notorious left-wing hoax squad The Yes Men also provided software and Internet support for the paper's accompanying spoof web page, which looks like the Times' site. The paper was meant to encourage politicians nationwide to push for a more liberal agenda. At first, it was satisfying to marvel at the pranksters' ability to pull this thing off. The Associated Press reports copies of the paper were given out in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Chicago and Washington, D.C. The Yes Men's website estimates that more than a million copies were distributed. That's pretty impressive circulation. But why should things like bringing our troops home, passing a progressive income tax system and providing universal health care be limited to a spurious newspaper? These are real options for our nation's future that should be put on the table, not just dismissed as liberal propaganda. If only the headlines were more than just empty words. If only the false hope was an actual edition of the New York Times. Real Journalists, Please Stand UpAre writers who work for web-based news organizations authentic journalists? The New York Police Department may not think so. Three web-based writers are suing NYPD after they were denied press passes by the department. NYPD's terse response to the litigation essentially says it's looking into the incidents and doesn't explain why the journalists' requests were denied. Some NYPD press passes can be used to get past the tape at crime scenes and can also get reporters into events like mayoral press conferences, which are not open to the public. Just because writers do their work on the web doesn't give the NYPD or anyone else the right to deny them the freedom of the press. All three writers filing the lawsuit are credible journalists. Each has been in the field for years, and the websites they represent are not fraudulent or bush-league. Why NYPD decided not to give these reporters their precious passes is unclear, but the lawsuit points to bigger issues brought about by the proliferation of news websites. Which reporters are legit? Who gets to decide what is and isn't a "real" news website? What criteria are they basing it on? Is print media somehow more trustworthy than its Internet counterpart? Just because writers do their work on the web doesn't give the NYPD or anyone else the right to deny them the freedom of the press. Still, it's important to establish guidelines for authenticity. Without a set of hard and fast rules, legit journalists can be turned away for no good reason. | Today's EventsWine Dinner Benefitting Working Classtoom at Club Rio RanchoClub Rio Rancho to host benefit wine dinner event to raise funds for local art and college prep program that serves talented, ambitious low-income New Mexico youth.

Better Postage Solutions for Small Biz
Most small businesses wrestling with $5.50 gallon of diesel fuel are dealing with heavy-duty new-age business concepts like online office processes say, Google (GOOG) Apps. But there is a much smoother road to innovation and saving that most smaller businesses seem to avoid: the basic -- but crucial -- process of mailing your business letters.
Bulk mail solutions that send out thousands of letters once were strictly big-company options. But they're far less complex and pricey than before. Even heavy-duty mailing equipment supply companies like Rena Systems, Secap or Addrex offer powerful bulk mailers that can fit on a desktop and handle thousands of pieces of mail per hour. And pricing is reasonable: An Addrex bulk addresser, for example, lists at about $2,500, which for a marketing or mail firm is easily financed.
Even small businesses with less intensive mailing needs can expect to find plenty of innovation. I like what I am seeing in entry level, all-in-one weighing and postage systems. The names here are Hasler,
(NEO) and
Pitney Bowes
(PBI - Get Report). These units, like the
The downside with these units is the monthly rental fees, which can add up. And you still need to address your envelopes, which either ties up your office printer, which can be a royal pain on some printers, or forces you to invest in an address labeler. So you spend more.
A Little Dymo
However, the most interesting end of the new mailing environment is the low end, desktop mailing solutions. Stamford, Conn-based label printing outfit Dymo, a unit of Newell Rubbermaid (CHX), makes a neat line of postage systems and labelers. My assistant Nick and I have for the past few weeks been testing one such unit: the Dymo Label Writer Twin Turbo ($189). This small printer and postage machine is easy to fit on your desk and in your business. The Dymo can hold two different size label rolls that let you print nice-looking address labels and professional postage stickers at roughly the same time.
