Totally agree. Those roads do not fit the guidelines to be split and the intersection does not need to be set up with turn lanes either. Not appropriate. Delete and re-do.

When cafe owner Hartman refuses to pay graft to Little Joe Macey's gang of racketeers, his business is destroyed and he is beaten up. Bull Regan, a policeman, is passing by the cafe as the gangsters are leaving and arrests them. In court, however, Hartman succumbs to threats and refuses to identify the criminals. The case against Macey's gang is dismissed, and Hartman is sent to jail for perjury. In response, Inspector Robert L. Lane is appointed special prosecutor. He calls for the city's businessmen to testify against the racketeers, but most are too afraid for themselves and their families to do so. When Regan is assigned to Lane's office, Lane cautions him against bullying the witnesses, adding that a policeman's job is to protect the public. Lane advises him to find witnesses, gain their confidence and then persuade them to tell their stories in court. Regan is sure that his tactics are the right ones, however. He questions Frank Wagner, the owner of a neighboring cafe, and his aggressive attitude convinces Wagner that Regan is part of Macey's gang. Wagner runs to Lane's office, where Lane persuades him to testify. Although Wagner identifies the members of the gang from photos in Lane's office, on the stand, he backs down because of threats Macey made to his wife Gladys. This time, however, Lane is prepared and receives permission to show a film, taken secretly, of Wagner identifying the photos, thereby gaining a conviction. The man behind the gangsters is still at large, so without Lane's permission, Regan visits Macey in prison and offers him a deal if he reveals the name of his boss. Their conversation is overheard and Macey is killed. Lane is furious but decides to give Regan one more chance. They get a break when Mary Norton comes forward with her belief that her boss, Ward Sturgis, is the man behind the gangs. When they investigate her story of a gun battle on Sturgis' yacht, however, they find no signs of a struggle and the books that Mary claims reveal Sturgis' participation in the rackets, have been replaced with fakes. Then a body is found in the bay, and although his features are unrecognizable, the corpse is identified as Sturgis. Mary is then accused of his murder, and Lane sends Regan to arrest her. Regan finds her hiding in a closet, but decides not to arrest her. When he returns to the room to hear her story, she is gone. Later, her purse and some of her clothes are found on a ferry, indicating that she may have killed herself. Regan does not believe that Mary is dead and announces her arrest, hoping to lure her out of hiding. His ruse works and Mary is captured. She tells Regan that Sturgis is not dead, the body was really that of Jennings, her co-worker. As they are leaving the station, they see Sturgis and follow him. Reagan finds him at a hotel, packing to leave. He claims to be a respectable citizen with a different name, but after Regan brings him into the office, Lane tricks him into confessing and the way is cleared for a romance between Regan and Mary.

November 25, 2015
DENVER, Colo. (AP) A jury has convicted a 44-year-old father accused of coercing his son to shoot and kill a man last year in Denver.
The Denver Post reports Daryl Thompson Sr. was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder, witness intimidation and being an accessory in the April 24, 2013, shooting death of 37-year-old Charles Harris in the Park Hill neighborhood. Thompson was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
His son, 20-year-old Daryl Thompson Jr., testified on behalf of the prosecution during his father's trial. He pleaded guilty in December to second-degree murder and will be sentenced later this month.
Prosecutors say the Thompsons had been in a fight with Harris, and a short time later the elder Thompson ordered his son to shoot the man.

Do not use during pregnancy or while nursing.
This is the only tea my husband will drink, and I can only find it on well.ca. Great medicinally as well :)
This tea would have been good if it weren't for the sickly sweet aftertaste. I wanted to love it but I just couldn't stomach it!
This tea is so yummy!! Naturally sweet, so no need to add extra sweetener. Will definitely buy again!
I've been looking for a good licorice root tea and have been very pleased with this one. Tastes great and works for helping cut my cravings and with it's good anti-inflammatory properties.
Very yummy. I find it difficult to find delicious ORGANIC teas as the selection is somewhat lacking. While this is not 100% organic it's still made with organic ingredients and I love the taste.
I'm using this licorice tea as an anti-inflammatory for bronchitis and it warms me right up and tastes sweet. I love it!
I'm using licorice tea to help naturally balance my hormones, and this brand is really delicious. Definitely a favourite of mine, and a good price for a quality organic product.
This tea is not only delicious it meets my need to consume healthy alternatives. I am very impressed with their mission to use only natural ingredients and it shows in the quality of the product. Yet it is reasonably priced. It's like having dessert in a cup followed by a warm hug.
Hands down my favourite ever herbal tea!
I love the taste of this and I love that it truly has a taste rather than the sort-of-flavoured-hot-water taste that you often get with other herbal teas.
It also seems to quell my constant appetite for snacks when I sip on it which is an unexpected bonus though I had heard that licorice is sometimes considered an appetite suppressant. I think the strong, sweetish taste satisfies my sweet cravings!
Lovely, lovely aromatic stuff!
Love Yogi Egyptian Licorice tea. Lovely after a meal to satisfy that sweet craving.
I had been drinking this tea for years and suddenly it was no longer available anywhere except on Well.ca....whew! so glad I found it again, thank you Well.ca! I love this tea, for me it's like dessert. I got my husband hooked on it as well and he's not a tea drinker. Try it, you'll like it !
This is my favorite tea, bar none, and has been for years. I consider myself a bit of a spice herbal tea "snob", always trying new mixes, and this one is a perfect blend of warm and sweet flavors, with tonnes of "punch" in each bag. The best!
I have been drinking this company's teas for over ten years and find their products of very high quality and consistency over time. The Egyptian Licorice is my favorite.
Tea has a very weak cinnamon taste, nothing else. It's not terrible but I prefer the Lalma brand breathe-in tea as it is better tasting & more effective. Would not recommend or purchase again.
we love this tea. It was recommended to me by my cousin and purchased it locally.
I was so glad to find it at Well.ca and we (my daughter and I) drink it every day. Its great iced for the summer too. and makes an excellent mixer.
We like the Licorice/mint as well but Yogi Egyptian licorice is still our favorite.

Only in Washington would it be considered imperative to extend legislation precisely because it's been so ineffectual. Such is the logic behind a Democratic push to prevent the assault-weapons ban from expiring next year, and even to broaden it.
It was obvious at the time of the ban's passage in 1994 that it couldn't possibly have any effect on crime as advertised, which it hasn't. The ban nonetheless is such a nice-sounding idea -- who wouldn't want to ban "assault weapons"? -- that even President Bush has endorsed its reauthorization.
If the ban is indeed preserved and broadened, it will be just as worthless as the original version. By the reasoning of its supporters, that failure will, in turn, make necessary an even more sweeping ban.
Thus gun-controllers demonstrate the fine political art of how to win by repeatedly doing things that don't work. In the rest of the world, that fits the loose definition of insanity -- "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" -- but in Washington, it defines success.
The assault-weapons ban was a product of the manufactured label "assault weapons." It's a wonder that other advocates haven't duplicated the experience by forging similar labels for things they want to ban. SUVs? Assault cars. Soft money? Assault contributions.
The term became popular just as a crack-induced urban crime wave was reaching its crest, conjuring images of gang members doing battle with AK-47s. The image was a boogeyman.
Criminologist Gary Kleck recounts that the head of the biggest gang detail in Los Angeles in the mid-1980s had never confiscated any assault weapons. A study of drive-by shootings in L.A. found that an assault weapon had figured in only one of 583 incidents.
Kleck's estimate is that less than 2 percent of guns used in crimes were assault weapons, and that assault weapons were used in one of 400 violent crimes overall. This made sense, since few street criminals would want to try to carry on their persons a heavy, conspicuous rifle.
When it came time for Congress to ban assault weapons, the difficulty was that no one knew exactly what they were. They were commonly taken to be semiautomatics that accept a large magazine and -- the crucial part -- have a "military-style" appearance.

Judge won't reconsider former Monroeville man's motion for mistrial on fraud and tax charges
A Florida federal judge on Tuesday said he doesn't see any reason to reconsider a former Monroeville man's motion for a mistrial on 10 fraud and tax charges related to real estate deals.
A federal jury on Aug. 17 convicted Alfredo Sararo III of Naples, Fla., on 10 counts of wire and tax fraud while acquitting him on one count of wire fraud. Sararo under-reported his income in tax returns, lied to investors and lenders, falsified documents and persuaded others to lie and falsify documents, prosecutors said.
Sararo claimed in a post-trial motion that the prosecutor violated his constitutional rights during closing arguments but U.S. District Judge John Steele on Oct. 18 rejected that argument. Sararo filed a motion on Oct. 24 asking the judge to reconsider. Steele, in denying that request, said that Sararo hadn't raised any new issues in his motion but simply doesn't like his previous decision.
Steele has scheduled Sararo's sentencing for Nov. 26.

Manufacturer: Ericksen Saddle (View all products by Ericksen Saddle)
Model: Mountain Saddle (View all Mountain Saddle reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: Six years ago I got to ride in a Ericksen Saddle at a Poker Ride. At that time I went on a search to find one for myself. Two years later, I found Ericksen Saddlery and my wife ordered me one for Christmas. The saddle at that time was more than we wanted to spend, but we stepped up to the plate and ordered my saddle. After a short wait and traveling to the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Convention in Reno to see my saddle on display, we took delivery of the Ericksen.
Likes: This saddle is built with the greatest craftsmanship and will stand up to anything that you can ride in. I have put many miles in the high county of Washington and even spent time in it pushing and sorting cattle. You will not find a stronger built, more durable saddle anywhere. I have had this saddle on many horses of different builds and have never had trouble with fit. There are double "D" rings in the front and back for any type of rigging. I have spent up to 14 hours straight in my Ericksen and never been sore at the end of the day.
Dislikes: I have no complaints with my Ericksen. Best built saddle for the high country rider.
Quality: The materials used to build an Ericksen Saddle are all extra heavy. You can look at the saddle and tell that real western pride and craftsmanship were put into the making of the saddle. I have gotten many comments on the rawhide lacing and Ericksen signature cutouts in the seat.
Summary: This saddle will surely be a family heirloom and passed down for many years. My advice is spend the money. You and your horse will appreciate the fit and durability. Nothing better than good old fashioned craftsmanship. I like my saddle so much I put my brand into the fender knowing it will never leave the family.

A thumbnail sketch of NBC's plans for fall season
Some highlights of NBC's moves in its schedule for next season, released on Sunday.
WHAT'S NEW: A lot. The long-struggling network invested heavily in new programming, and has ordered 17 new series for next season. John Malkovich as Blackbeard. James Spader as a wanted fugitive. Dracula brought to life. A cops drama from the guy who made "Law & Order." More supernatural stuff from J.J. Abrams. A cooking show. A quiz show. A home renovation show. If a couple of these make an impression on viewers, NBC will be thrilled.
WHAT'S GONE: The newsmagazine "Rock Center," in a move sure to cause bad blood between NBC's news and entertainment divisions. Matthew Perry's star vehicle "Go On," failing to recreate that "Friends" magic. And about two dozen other sitcoms you never watched.
LIFE SUPPORT: The serial killer drama "Hannibal" has terrible ratings, but NBC had such high hopes for it this spring that executives can't bear to pull the plug. Maybe it's their livers on the line.
STAR POWER: Michael J. Fox is a beloved sitcom actor, respected even more for his dignity in handling Parkinson's Disease. Now he's essentially turning those real-life experiences into a sitcom, where he will play a sportscaster going back to work. Interestingly, NBC gave Sean Hayes a more prominent spot on a Thursday night schedule geared to broad-appeal comedies, perhaps so Fox won't feel the pressure to save the network.
WHAT THEY NEED: Somebody to save the network.
BIG MOVE: "Revolution" to Wednesday nights, where it will no longer have the advantage of a big audience tuning in for "The Voice." ''Chicago Fire" moves to Tuesday. Moving successful shows to new nights is always risky, perhaps even more so for programs at an early stage in their development.

ISD is at a crossroads. Period.
There is the huge market and the possibilities for ISD with its technology. Investors like these kind of visions since they create fantasy. ..you know that funny talk we see here at the board…lol…the sky seems to be the limit…yet what did Rod (from IR wrote me: "Yes we are surprised about the stock price". I am not surprised…I am shocked (even more for my amusement- lol)…after all the good work Alex and all the others in the organizations have done in the past…So what is the reason?
Let me be here clear it is a very though business to build a company in a financial market like this…but if they would have paid more attention to the stock price beforehand.. then their $ 5.000.000 financing (for whatever reasons -lol) would have never amounted now to a fundamental threat to the share holders… we do not know what is in the contract with them…this is my only hope at this time… but no one here will outrun this potential 30% problem- no one!…just ISD can make itself better understood…
…now I hate myself for writing all that nonsense ..lol ..since I know that the fan club of wish-full- thinking will tell me…no it is all different… all is well, except of the share price…and tomorrow will come. I hope for you ...that all of you will become millionaires… maybe hope is enough…lol..or better big, big contracts…and new buyers…

The problem with the idea that you can simply turn off the AF and focus manually is that except for the most expensive pro cameras, AF cameras do not have a split-image focusing screen which makes manual focus difficult. An MF camera is usually much easier to focus manually than an AF camera.
Fortunately AF cameras are quite popular and used MF cameras can be had quite cheaply, so having both kinds of camera body is usually affordable.

Astrotech Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results *Astrotech Space Operations ("ASO"), the Company's core business, supported the successful launch of The Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) mission in the first quarter 2013 *GAAP net loss of $1.4 million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2013, on revenue of $6.1 million *1^st Detect delivered two MMS-1000^TM units AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Astrotech Corporation (Nasdaq:ASTC), a leading provider of commercial aerospace services, today announced financial results for its fiscal year 2013 first quarter ended September 30, 2012. "Our core business, ASO, performed well this quarter as it navigates through a slower than anticipated launch schedule. We continue to deliver on our commitments to our customers and I am pleased to see the progress we have made on the design and fabrication of the GSE project," said Carlisle Kirkpatrick, Chief Financial Officer of Astrotech. "While our 18-month rolling backlog reflects the completion of the GSE project, we remain committed to delivering the best satellite processing services in the industry and the ASO backlog reflects consistent growth in both programs and the missions supporting these programs." "1^st Detect delivered two MMS-1000™ units during the first quarter. These units give 1^st Detect an important platform for enhancing key relationships into the future," said Thomas B. Pickens III, Chairman and CEO of Astrotech Corporation. "The 1^st Detect team is focused on opening new industrial markets by delivering lab quality equipment that meets the unique needs of our customers and development partners. I am pleased with our progress and the ongoing support and interest from our development partners as we continue to build important relationships that will enhance future demand." First Quarter Results The Company posted a first quarter fiscal year 2013 net loss of $1.4million, or $(0.07) per diluted share on revenue of $6.1million compared with a first quarter fiscal year 2012 net loss of $0.7million, or $(0.04) per diluted share on revenue of $4.8million. Update of Ongoing Operations The Company's 18-month rolling backlog, which includes contractual backlog, scheduled but uncommitted missions, and the design and fabrication of GSE, was $27.5million at September30, 2012. The majority at ASO consists of pre-launch satellite processing services, which include hardware launch preparation, advance planning, use of unique satellite preparation facilities and spacecraft checkout, encapsulation, fueling, and transport and design and fabrication of equipment and hardware for space launch activities at our Titusville, Florida and VAFB locations. Our Spacetech business unit delivered two MMS-1000™ units to customers during the first quarter. MMS-1000^TM is the first commercial product offering of the miniature mass spectrometer initially designed for the sophisticated laboratory professional. The MMS-1000™ is a compact, high performance instrument capable of rapid MS/MS detection of trace levels of volatile compounds in less than five seconds and provides a versatile platform that can be used in various applications in the security and industrial markets. Financial Position and Liquidity Working capital was $3.6million as of September30, 2012, which included $5.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.7 million of accounts receivable. About Astrotech Corporation Astrotech is one of the first space commerce companies and remains a strong entrepreneurial force in the aerospace industry. We are leaders in identifying, developing and marketing space technology for commercial use. Our ASO business unit serves our government and commercial satellite and spacecraft customers with pre-launch services on the eastern and western range. 1^stDetect Corporation is developing what we believe is a breakthrough miniature mass spectrometer, the MMS-1000™, while Astrogenetix, Inc. is a biotechnology company utilizing microgravity as a research platform for drug discovery and development.

Canon PowerShot A70 Review
Review based on a production PowerShot A70
The three megapixel PowerShot A70 and two megapixel PowerShot A60 were introduced this year just in time for the Photo Marketing Association (PMA 2003) trade show in Las Vegas. The PowerShot 'A-series' are Canon's entry-level digital cameras, the A60 and A70 replace the A30 and A40 of exactly twelve months earlier. This year however Canon has taken the amount of functionality provided in an entry level camera the next level, both cameras have manual controls including aperture and shutter priority as well as selectable sensitivity, focus modes, metering modes, white balance, photo effects and three minute movie clips. Almost everything in this review not related to image resolution can be applied to the PowerShot A60, other than the sensor the cameras are identical.

text: Dear all, I'm reading a paper on finite element magnetic field analysis. Basically there are two approaches to this. One is to use Maxwell equation and the other is to define an energy functional, discretize the problem and minimize the functional with respect to the unknowns. The paper takes the second approach. The functional is given as: [itex]E=\int_{V}(\int_{0}^{B}H.dB)dv-\int_{V}J.Adv [/itex] J is the source current density and A is the magnetic vector potential ( [itex]B=\nabla \times A [/itex]) The first term is the stored energy. My question is about the second term. It seems to be the magnetic energy given to the system. I need your help to interpret and understand the second term because in electromagnetic text books, the second term (divided by 2, and without the negative sign) is proved to be equal to the first term in the linear case. I'm totally confused with this energy functional. Your help is appreciated. Hassan

hi! i am a new blogger. i must try these tips on my blog
thanks for the information…………..!
Hi Patti
It was good to read and use as a guide for this new blogger (haven't started yet but keen to start).
thanx for sharing these great informations
Good message. I tend to read about blogging too much. Think I'll just focus on writing more posts for the first quarter of 2012.
The essence of this is having fun and writing useful content – all the other stuff, such as SEO, monetization, etc. will come as the good side effect. A fellow blogger also told me, "Don't start a blog with the money and traffic in mind."

In news today, Microsoft announced that on October 18th, eligible customers will able to download Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2, and use the latest update to Windows Intune. On the same day, Windows 8.1 will be available to consumers and businesses worldwide. You can get the details of this important announcement in Microsoft Vice President Brad Anderson's blog, "Mark Your Calendars for October 18th, the R2 Wave is Coming".
While you're there, be sure to check out Brad's special blog series on "What's New in 2012 R2" for an in-depth look at the key innovations of the R2 product wave. You'll also want to download the preview bits here to get started with the new releases today!
Don't forget to join @WindowsIntune and Brad Anderson @InTheCloudMSFT on Twitter for more exciting news on the 2012 R2 product lineup!
Is there any information available about what will be new in the upcoming update of Windows Intune?
I was told that Intune will not manage the 8.1 preview, but my test today shows an 8.1 preview machine as a good Intune 'citizen'.
MarkW - what was the windows intune client build/version number? I wish I could get my preview computers enrolled.
Neil, I see Windows 8.1 Preview OS as well as Windows 8.1 RTM displayed in the Intune Console as "Windows 6.3", which is the kernel version number, build number 9600 for RTM. Intune Software Inventory shows all the detail version numbers correctly.
No problems installing the Intune agents on Preview or RTM Windows 8.1. The OS version and edition names should resolve after the upcoming Service Update.
Neil, you had asked about the Intune Client version, which is 7.9.11540.0 on all clients from XP to Win8.1.

My definition is over-simplified, but I've found that I when I take snapshots during vacations, shoot photos for others (never done commercial work and that has never appealed to me) versus art for art's sake, it comes down to either a bald document of what I saw or "art". You could go on forever about aesthetic principles and how and whether they can be applied in similar ways to either category, but for me, it just comes down to how it feels, how I value the experience. I paint, draw and make litho prints. Those are never documents, while most of my photos are documents, though I spend far more time thinking about making art.
Yeah, I see your point. My definition of "document" or "documentation" is too broad. Perhaps.
everything taken with a camera or put onto photo paper is a document or documentation.
if it is a commercial image, it is a document of something concocted, meant to show and sell ...
if it is habs/haer or a portrait, it is a document of something's likeness ...
if it is a landscape it is a document of where ever someone was ...
if it is a photogram or some wacky darkroom "stuff" it is a document of whatever was done, "physical evidence" ...
and photojournalism too ...
all photography is documentary and/or fine art, even snapshots.
i have heard of gallery exhibits of film that was found in thrift store cameras, and then processed ( someone else's family-documentation ) and then presented as fine art.
kids photographs in toy cameras documenting the shrub infront of aunt millie's house, snap shots to some fine art to others.
fine art - art - photography - snapshots ...
its all the same ...
The big and real difference is in what people want it to be.
(Whether they achieve what they want is something else.)
You can separate the three by holding them up to their intent, or prentense, and the degree in which they achieve their pretense.
Snap shots, documents, etc. pretend to be just that. And they achieve that completely.
Art pretends to be more. To oversimplify something terrible: a statement.
And it succeeds in that very well too.
Fine art pretends to be art.
But it fails, since (like i wrote before) its subject matter is fully exhausted in being itself. It's purely a "look at me!" thingy, with nothing to look at.
Yes, yes, i know. We're supposed to go "Ooh! Look at that! How masterly crafted!".
So a nice thing for crafts shows perhaps. To admire the craft.
But how poor a thing is a craft when it itself is all there is, and it hasn't been put to its intended use.
Photography doesn't belong, because it is a medium. A tool to express something. Not a form of expression or an expression itself.
In my eyes a fine art photograph is one that stirs my emotions, whether it's the content or the sheer beauty of the quality of the print, or both; if it arouses feelings in me I reckon it must be art.
sorry qg
i beg to differ ... ;)
photographs that were taken last century (for example some of the
work of the french photographers latrigue and atget ) ...
they were not taken on the pretense to be "fine art" or even "art" but to day they are seen
to be just that. no statements, just child with a camera, and a documentary photographer with a paid commission ...
latrigue was a kid who took snapshots of french life, auto racing and picnics
( he wasn't even a teenager when the panned-speeding race car image was made ),
and atget's collection of old paris, and photographs of the gypsies, homeless and street venders ..
they were not taken to be anything more than documentary photographs, for the paris archives ...
today their works sell in fine arts galleries, and to some are the pinnacle of fine art photography -
fine art, art, snapshots, documentary photography whatever .. just labels
there are plenty of people who read things into photographs or paintings or sculpture or prose
or verse that were not intended by the maker,
even things that were never intended, including, being called " fine art " ...
Sometimes I think that even the intent to create art is not enough. I generally would not describe myself as an artist, because I think that whether what I produce amounts to art is not for me to judge. Alternatively, perhaps the intent to create art is enough, in which case it is for others to judge whether it is good art or bad art.
In practice, I think the term "fine art" is often just used as a marketing term by galleries to justify high prices, or high praise, for questionable art.
For me, a fine art print is one I like so much I want to hang it on my wall. I want to look at it again and again, and show it to my friends and family.
I think the idea of art is a very slippery and incredibly subjective concept. In fact, I think that trying to define exactly what "art" means is pretty pointless. But it no doubt keeps a few philosophers busy, and allows a legion of academics and curators to get away with writing gibberish.
That's a fair point (were it so - and even if it were not).
Yet the distinction holds. We recognize these (assuming for now that they were indeed just pretenseless thingies, i.e. the makers thought nothing special about their subjects. Which begs the question why they shot what they shot so consistently) as important documents.
Important, because they are early samples of a new way in which people began to interact with their environment, their society, etc.
They however are clearly different, and still recognized as such, from most of the early family and other snap shots made by other photographers of that time.
Why would that be, you think?
It's not because for Lartigue or Atget the subject matter didn't matter. It did. They knew what they put in front of their lenses. They did have "a view" on things. Their view
They are not the pinnacle of fine art.
They are not fine art at all. Just as little as, say , W. Eugene Smith is fine art.
Both Lartigue and Atget were journalists.
And no, fine art, art, documentary, journalism: these are not just labels.
It's like saying, in a discussion about what makes a fine family car, "family car, truck, sports car, they are all just labels" and suggest a Mack truck as a good choice for doing the school run.
Don't know how anyone could think like that. ;)
And yes: people interpret things. That's part of communication. Nothing wrong with that.
The point here is that fine art has nothing to communicate, except the "look at me, because i am sonething to look at" thing mentioned earlier.
Not even "look at my grandma, i love her to bits", or "look at the pain and desperation, don't you hate war", etc.
Nothing. Just "look at me! I'm pretty, so you must look at me!".

LinearAlgebra[Zip] - zip a 2-argument procedure onto a pair of Matrices or Vectors
Calling Sequence
Zip(f, A, B, ex, ip, options)
procedure or name; procedure to apply
Matrix or Vector
(optional) any type; value used for unassigned entry locations when A and B are not the same size
(optional) BooleanOpt(inplace); specifies if output overwrites input
(optional); constructor options for the result object
The Zip(f, A, B) function applies the bivariate function f to the paired entries of the Matrices (or Vectors) A and B.
Parameters A and B must be either both Matrices or both Vectors. If they are Vectors, their orientations do not have to match; the orientation of the result will be the same as that of A.
If A and B are not the same size, then the size of the result is determined by the presence or absence of the optional ex parameter. If this parameter is omitted in the calling sequence then the result object's dimensions are determined by taking the minimum of the corresponding dimensions of A and B.
Therefore, if A and B are Vectors, the result object is a Vector whose dimension is mindimA,dimB. If A and B are Matrices, the result object is a Matrix whose dimensions are minrowdimA,rowdimBXmincoldimA,coldimB.
If ex is provided in the calling sequence, then the result object's dimensions are determined by taking the maximum of the corresponding dimensions of A and B. In this case, if A or B does not contain a value for a particular entry location in the result, the value ex is substituted for the missing value(s).
The inplace option (ip) determines where the result is returned. If given as inplace=true, the result overwrites the first argument. If given as inplace=false, or if this option is not included in the calling sequence, the result is returned in a new Matrix (or Vector).
The condition inplace=true can be abbreviated to inplace.
The inplace option must be used with caution since, if the operation fails, the original Matrix (or Vector) argument may be corrupted.
The inplace option is valid only if the result object's dimensions are exactly those of A.
The constructor options provide additional information (readonly, shape, storage, order, datatype, and attributes) to the Matrix or Vector constructor that builds the result. These options may also be provided in the form outputoptions=[...], where [...] represents a Maple list. If a constructor option is provided in both the calling sequence directly and in an outputoptions option, the latter takes precedence (regardless of the order).
The inplace and constructor options are mutually exclusive.
This function is part of the LinearAlgebra package, and so it can be used in the form Zip(..) only after executing the command with(LinearAlgebra). However, it can always be accessed through the long form of the command by using LinearAlgebra[Zip](..).
The next example uses Zip to perform elementwise (pointwise) multiplication. This is also known as the "Hadamard product" or "Schur product".

Picture: Kate Beckinsale 'Die Hard 4.0' Premiere held at the Empire cinema - Arrivals London, England - 20.06.07
British actress Kate Beckinsale has dismissed rumours her marriage is in trouble - insisting the media assume all celebrity couples play away.
The Hollywood beauty, who is happily married to her Underworld director Len Wiseman, resents the way the gossip-hungry press labels all celebrities as unfaithful partners.
She says, "I have no idea (where the rumours come from). I honestly think it's because other people are a tiny bit more calculated and maybe go to more events and kiss and stuff.
"We've been working and staying at home with our kid and I haven't done anything recently.
"I think after a couple of years of marriage if someone hasn't had a child or something then you have to immediately worry if the man is gay.
"I just don't know."

|DR. ING. H.C. F. PORSCHE AG Patent applications
|Patent application number
|PNEUMATIC SPRING DEVICE - A pneumatic spring device with a housing (
|METHOD AND BRAKING SYSTEM FOR INFLUENCING DRIVING DYNAMICS BY MEANS OF BRAKING AND DRIVING OPERATIONS - A method and a braking system are provided, in which the driving dynamics of a motor vehicle are influenced, a driver-independent braking action generating a yawing moment which assists a steering in or steering round of the motor vehicle, and a driver-independent increase in the drive torque being caused on at least one wheel, in order at least partially to compensate the braking deceleration of the motor vehicle, a braking action being required when the ratio of the instantaneously used coefficient of friction and of the possible utilizable coefficient of friction overshoots a stipulated threshold value.
|Motor Vehicle - A motor vehicle has a protective device which is arranged behind a backrest of a motor vehicle seat and has a flexible plane surface structure, in particular a sun blind, adjustable between an extended position of use and a retracted inoperative position. Accordingly, the motor vehicle is of coupe-like design and an electrical drive device is provided, which adjusts the flexible plane surface structure in the form of a sun blind between its position of use and its inoperative position substantially vertically, the sun blind in its position of use being arranged so that it is substantially vertically free-standing.
|Tank Filling Region of a Motor Vehicle - A tank filling region of a motor vehicle contains at least one tank filler neck, a tank cap for closing the same, and a device for receiving the tank cap in the state in which it is removed from the tank filler neck. The device has a recess formed on a region surrounding the tank filler neck. In this case, it is important that the tank cap has a retaining pin which protrudes from an end side of the latter and with which the tank cap can be plugged into the recess such that it can be fixed to the motor vehicle via the retaining pin, which is plugged into the recess, in its state in which it is removed from the tank filler neck.
|Device for Encapsulating the Main Bearing of a Crankshaft - A device encapsulates a main bearing of a crankshaft. The main bearing is supplied with oil via an oil supply groove. The device has a bearing seat for the main bearing and on its sides which face toward the crank webs of the crankshaft, has oil channels which are open in the direction of the main bearing and in the direction of the crankshaft webs. In the device, the oil channels are sealed off in the direction of the crankshaft webs by sealing disks which are fastened to the bearing seat.
|Motor Vehicle, in Particular a Cabriolet, Having a Rollover Protection Device Arranged Behind the Seats - A motor vehicle, in particular cabriolet, has a rollover protection device disposed behind the seats. The rollover protection device has a supporting frame, which extends in a vehicle transverse direction and which is fastened to the adjoining vehicle supporting structure, and at least one rollover protection cassette which contains a deployable rollover body. The supporting frame contains lateral upright column sections, a transversely running connecting profile and support elements which are connected to the column sections. Here, it is important that the at least one rollover protection cassette or a housing thereof is a constituent supporting part of the multi-part supporting frame which extends in the vehicle transverse direction.
|Rollover Protection Device - A rollover protection device is disposed behind the vehicle seats of a motor vehicle, in particular a convertible with a convertible top, and has at least one rollover protection cassette containing a rollbar. It is important here that the at least one rollover protection cassette or a housing of the same is a supporting component of a stiffening support which is of multi-part construction and extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle.
|Stiffening Device - A single-part or multi-part stiffening device for increasing the torsional stiffness of a motor vehicle embodied as a cabriolet, has at least one stiffening element which is connected at one side to a rear side of a rollover protection device and at the other side to a base of a covering shelf of the motor vehicle.
|Motor Vehicle Roof Configuration Which Can Be Put Away - A motor vehicle roof configuration which can be put away has at least two shaping sections, which are movable relative to one another and can be put away together, for lateral convertible top cloth strips. The shaping sections lie in a row next to one another in a closed position of the roof configuration and have water channels which run approximately parallel to each convertible top cloth strip and in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and also adjacent to the convertible top cloth strips. It is provided that, at least in a closed position of the roof configuration, an inner edge of each convertible top cloth strip together with at least one sealing configuration forms a leakproof covering for the adjacent water channel.
|Covering Configuration - A covering configuration has a loading space covering and is arranged behind a vehicle seat in a motor vehicle. The loading space covering extends in a transverse direction of the vehicle and is held at its longitudinal ends in corresponding receptacles on the vehicle. It important that the receptacle on the driver side is configured such that the one longitudinal end of the loading space covering can be inserted horizontally while a receptacle on the passenger side is configured in such a manner that the other longitudinal end of the loading space covering can be pivoted counter to the direction of travel of the motor vehicle into the receptacle and can be latched therein, or vice versa. In this case, the receptacles on the driver and passenger sides are configured and arranged such that installation of the loading space covering is possible from a passenger compartment.
|Change Speed Transmission - A transmission, in particular a dual clutch transmission, has a plurality of transmission shafts and a fastening apparatus for at least one fixed gear on one of the transmission shafts. The fixed gear is held axially on the transmission shaft by way of a fastening nut. The fixed gear is formed with a recess around the transmission shaft in a region that lies radially below the gear toothing system. A fastening sleeve is positioned in the recess between the fixed gear and the transmission shaft in a section which adjoins a fastening nut. During the clamping of the fastening nut, the latter bears against the fastening sleeve. As a result, the transmission of micromovements to the fastening nut is minimized or prevented, with the result that loosening of the fastening nut does not take place during the operation of the transmission.
|Air Filter for an Air Intake System of a Multi-Cylinder Internal Combustion Engine - An air filter for an air intake system of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine has a housing with a first housing part and a second housing part. A filter element is arranged between the housing parts. An untreated air side of the air filter is formed in the first housing part and a clean air side of the air filter is formed in the second housing part. The first housing part has a housing opening for conducting untreated air into the housing and the second housing part has a housing opening for discharging clean air out of the housing. Further, the housing has a third housing opening for conducting untreated air into the housing, with the housing holding a switchable flap arrangement for opening and closing the third housing opening. The flap arrangement can be activated as a function of operating states of the internal combustion engine. This allows variable, in particular large air masses to be passed through an air filter on account of the further housing opening.
|Air Intake System of a Multi-Cylinder Internal Combustion Engine - An air intake system of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine has a first collecting chamber and a second collecting chamber. An inflow line supplies intake air to the first collecting chamber. First regions of a plurality of ram pipes are connected to the first collecting chamber and guided through the second collecting chamber and opening out into second regions of the ram pipes. The second regions are arranged outside of and connected to the second collecting chamber. The first regions of the ram pipes are arranged within the second collecting chamber and have adjustable sections. When the adjustable sections of the intake pipes are in one position, intake air is sucked in directly through the first and second regions of the ram pipes. When they are in a second position, intake air is sucked into the second collecting chamber and from the latter into the second regions of the ram pipes. An overflow chamber device connects the first collecting chamber and the second collecting chamber to one another. The overflow chamber device forms an additional overflow volume between the two collecting chambers, to provide increased air mass throughput in the power position, that is, in the second position of the adjustable sections of the ram pipes.
|Internal Combustion Engine - An internal combustion engine has a plurality of cylinders and an air intake system. The air intake system is formed from at least one distributor pipe, a plurality of intake pipes, and at least one plenum. The plenum is located between the distributor pipe and the intake pipes. Here, the combustion air is fed to the air intake system via an air guiding duct which opens out into the distributor pipe. The charge pressure of the combustion air is reduced between the outlet out of the compressor and the inlet into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. A distributor pipe length is dimensioned as a function of an equivalent distributor pipe diameter such that it is possible for a reduction in the charge pressure to be obtained within the air intake system by way of an expansion, with the expansion taking place partially in the plenum in the respective intake pipe and/or within the distributor pipe.
|Motor vehicle with a movable roof and an extendable rollover protection element - A motor vehicle has a body, a roof that can be displaced between an open position and closed position and having a roof skin with a rear window, and a rollover protection element that can be extended from an inoperative position into a protective position. In the protective position and with the roof in the closed position, the rollover protective element protrudes above the roof skin in the vicinity of the rear window. For improved rollover protection, it is proposed that the rear window is surrounded at least in some sections by a stiff window frame and is attached thereto, and that, in the closed position of the roof, the window frame is supported in relation to the body.
|Bus Communication Management in a Motor Vehicle with a Plurality of Control Devices Linked by a Bus and Method of Controlling the Bus Communication Management - An apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a first control device, a plurality of second control devices, and a bus system that links the control devices. Wherewith an activity of the control devices is dependent on communication between the control devices which is transmitted via the bus system. The apparatus is distinguished in that the first control device is configured such as to deny communication to (or via) the bus system under prescribed conditions, and the second control devices are configured to cancel (interrupt) a communication to (or via) the bus system if the first control device denies the communication. Additionally, a method is disclosed wherein the apparatus is operated in the described manner.
