Water To Go is a portable and simple water-recycling box that supplies clean water to remote area and encourages wise water consumption for different activities.
Ng Kam Sheung
Hong Kong
The principles of spiral water pumps and water filtration have been applied to the design of Water To Go, a portable water-recycling system in a box. Measuring 35 × 30 × 30cm, it is easy to carry around and uses water from any available water source to create a water-recycling loop by incorporating the following accessories: a water pipe, a pipe connector, a filter, a clear plastic or silicone water basin, a plastic water tank and a coated metal box. When not in use, all the above accessories can be stored in the box, making it a great clean water solution for remote areas or poorer habitats.
To use: Pour the water source into the basin. Remove the stopper of the basin and allow the water to flow downwards into the box. The water goes through a deep filtration system. Transfer newly cleaned water into a drinkable water tank. Turn off the water valve on the side box and swivel the lever handle to the right. As the spiral water pump rotates, drinkable water in the water tank is pumped up. Water flows out of the tap and into the basin. Insert the basin stopper to hold the water. When clean water becomes dirty, remove the stopper and repeat the water-recycling process.

Overall conclusion
Taken on its own, the Pentax MX-1 is easy to like. Its large, good quality, fast lens and rugged, retro styling make it a handsome companion for those who miss old camera designs. Those who are drawn to its looks will be rewarded with impressive image quality and excellent optical performance. The MX-1 also has nice heft for those who appreciate what a little well-balanced weight can add to camera stability. That the extra weight comes from brass plates may matter to some, but be careful about treating the MX-1 roughly to give it that 'brassing' appearance prematurely; let those battle scars come naturally.
The lack of more customization options, particularly around exposure control or noise reduction, is unfortunate, because many of the MX-1's competitors have a lot to offer in this respect. Whether you'll miss in-depth customization in the MX-1 will depend on your priorities. As much as we value custom controls, speed and responsiveness are arguably more important for street and family photography, and in our shooting, when we need to shoot more critically we usually have an SLR in tow anyway.
Another omission from the MX-1 (albeit one that most users are unlikely to notice) is any sign that Ricoh has anything to do with Pentax camera design. We think Ricoh's brilliant customizable GRD/GXR interface would have added that extra something to make the MX-1 more compelling; but that too would have required an additional control or two.
When it comes down to it, though, what you need for good pictures is a sharp, fast lens, a good quality sensor, and a shutter button. The Pentax MX-1 wraps those basics into a neat little body with good heft and a sense of presence.
Image Quality
The Pentax MX-1's kinship with the Olympus XZ-2 is clear when you look closely at the sample images, particularly the Studio Comparison Scene. Though the JPEG processing is not identical, it's very close, with similar noise patterns and image rendition is about as distinct, even as ISO rises. The MX-1s images are slightly more contrasty, but only a touch.
Optical quality really impressed us, with nearly no loss of quality in the corners when compared to the center of images. Chromatic aberration is all but undetectable (in JPEGs at least). Movie quality is also good, with stereo audio and the option of digital or optical zoom.
The only real trouble we had with the MX-1 was in tungsten lighting, where the Auto white balance system left our images rather yellow; this was especially bad in a dimly-lit school theater. It's well known that Pentax tends to bias toward leaving a yellow tint in incandescent lighting, only recently changing their SLRs to bias toward a more balanced color, while letting the user choose an option to render Tungsten lighting more yellow.
At first blush, despite its retro appeal, the Pentax MX-1 seemed a little too thick and heavy to compete well with other cameras in the enthusiast pocket space. Instead of going for tall, slim, and pocketable, Pentax went for thick and retro. After a bit of time with the camera, each user gained new respect for it. It wasn't just its reliable image quality, but the camera's performance in the field. Seasoned reviewers noticed its slower shot-to-shot time, sometimes locking the user out of taking another shot until the image saved - even with a fast card - but amateur users just liked the way it felt like a quality camera. It isn't so small that it was hard to hold, and it was reasonably simple to use.
Focus is fast, face detection is usually helpful, and the tilting LCD is handy for low angle and overhead shooting. Though the LCD housing can be seen from one point of view as too thick, grafted on as an afterthought, it's also quite solid, with a build that seems appropriate on a heavier camera. There's no question it seems out-of-place compared to the elegant look from the front, but it's certainly functional, and its 920k LCD panel is bright and crisp, offering good viewability in sunlight.
The Final Word
While our experience with the Pentax MX-1 was really quite positive, it does have some weak points and we can't help mention that lingering doubt about its lack of an extra dial for full manual control. In the end, it didn't tarnish our experience with the camera, as we've noted, but those who will want that extra dial should take note and consider another camera. If you're generally happy using the semi-auto modes with your premium pocket camera, however, the Pentax MX-1 has a well-placed EV compensation dial at the ready for minor tweaks this way and that.
It's the optical and sensor quality that impresses us most about the Pentax MX-1, making it easy to recommend to anyone looking for a good performer in a solid body. If you don't mind carrying a small camera bag or hanging the MX-1 from a neck strap, you'll be quite happy despite its difficult-to-pocket dimensions. The Pentax MX-1's high image quality and overall performance make it a very good choice for anyone looking for a straightforward image maker with a retro sensibility.

Pentax's first entry into the premium pocket camera category is big on image quality but also a bit big for the pocket, which narrows its niche a little more than its competitors. Still, it's a very capable camera with a good set of features, a handsome finish, and an impressive sensor and lens combination.

This is video sample from Pentax MX-1,
and graded using Osiris Luts vision 6
I am a long time Pentax supporter starting from the ist to the k-x to the k-30. When I first saw this, I thought great, I can dump my xz-1 and carry just one flash on holiday and use it between my dslr and my advance compact. But sadly, no. There is no hotshoe for this, so no flashgun, no evf. Also while there is the wired remote option for the k-30 and xz-1, it is only ir for this?
After a decidedly love/hate relationship with my Canon G10 where I get fabulous full light shots and pitifully noisy low-light images, I decided to purchase the MX-1 as the successor. Obviously it has much faster glass and a slightly larger sensor but the thing that sold me is the DP comparison shots. The MX-1 image is equal to or noticeably sharper than other enthusiast level cameras in the comparison list - has anyone else noticed this ?, is it an anomaly ?
Blunty's reviews are pretty fun to watch.
I purchased the MX-1 because liked the look of it and that it was a compact. Would be great for traveling. So got my MX-1 and went on a Holiday sad to say it worked for two day and them the LCD stopped working :( No pictures of my holiday except for my IPhone. I am trying to get it returned, replace or repaired but no one seems to care.
I ordered one of these today. They are now selling for half of their original list price. To me that seems like a bargain. I really like the colors of Pentax jpegs, so much so that I may just shoot jpegs for ease and convenience. This looks like a great travel camera to pair with my K-3. Looking forward to trying it out.
This is the first camera I want to return as soon as I got it, and I really wanted to like it despite its strange form factor. The operation is frustratingly slow. Most of the controls are well laid out and the buttons have good feel to them, but their response is sluggish most of the time, taking away the fun from the photography. The AF is desperate in all but casual static shooting, even in macro mode with enough light it struggles at times. The funky chroma NR artifacts at ISO 1000-1600 and the lack of NR / image parameter settings finishes the bitter feeling. I'm going back to my X10, sorry Pentax.
I picked one up on the Woot $199 deal and have to say that's a lot of camera for the money. I'm still getting used to this particular form factor - no viewfinder and a LCD screen that tilts up and down (only). The technical quality of the photos is quite nice - it's my compositional skills that are lacking.
One thing that has helped is enabling the view screen overlay with vertical and horizontal lines as well as the electronic vertical and horizontal levels. I'm learning to shoot more from the waist, but I still keep trying to bring it up to my eye to look through the nonexistent viewfinder.
I still have an old film MX, into which I long ago placed a viewfinder screen with vertical and horizontal lines. The point is, my lack of compositional skill is certainly not the fault of any one camera.

You can pick it up on Woot today for $199, plus $5 shipping.
This is a terrific RAW-capable high-end enthusiast compact, and at current prices (Jan. 2014) it is an excellent value and a very attractive option when compared to similar cameras in its class. Image quality is just about as good as you can expect for a camera with this size sensor. Build quality is outstanding. The menus are straight forward and inituitive in use. Performance is snappy all around. It's also a very good-looking camera, in addition to its decent performance. And maybe it's a matter of personal preference, but I rather like the accentuated oblong shape, as it gives me plenty of room to easily access the right buttons and make adjustments. The dedicated Ev knob is a very handy plus, too. I'd like to see a hot shoe and a reasonably-priced optional EVF like the Olympus XZ models have in the next iteration. But without hesitation I highly recommend the Pentax MX-1.
This is all the comments this camera got? That's a little disappointing, it's such a winner. Studio comparison tool, Fuji XQwhatever vs. Pentax MX-1 vs. Canon G16.....well, you'll see it. When I need a replacement for my G11 I'm almost certain the MX-1 will be the compact in my pocket for many years.
I bought the MX-1 after comparing it to the Olympus (XZ-2) and Fuji (X10 & X20) options. Picture quality is superior, control setup is logical and the camera itself is drop-dead gorgeous! Looking forward to years of happy clicking.
I've bought one too. I feel you, bro.
This is the camera that's unobtrusive, no ostentation. People give it a look (with a dog's interrogative expression) wondering if it is an old, well preserved 35mm with the ordinary 50mm lens. You won't provoke the "Pros (?)" with their phallic gear nor step on the toes of the P&S crowd. You are the Chevy Nova parked between the Hummer and the Porsche.
When it comes to menu, I love the simplicity and the friendly use of it. IQ is just superb. Colors are just off the wall, especially blue skies when shooting in winter. It easily accommodates up to 3 f stops. It makes me go back to my first SLR: Pentax ME Super.
This is a First Love camera. The LOVE that so many have forgotten: The LOVE for FUN!!

Talent drain hurts Newton despite good performance
Helena Morrissey is not letting her appearance in next monthâs issue of Harpers & Queen, the UK glossy monthly magazine, go to her head.
The chief executive of Newton Investment Management, the UK subsidiary of Mellon Financial Corporation of the US, was asked to write a weekly column about her life as a financial high-flier and mother of six children.
But Morrissey, who has been in charge of Newton for nearly four years, is concentrating on breaking into the institutional funds market and ensuring Newton's clients are happy. "I am first and foremost for Newton and second for me," she said.
Newton, which has £22bn (€32bn) in assets under management, was Mellon's first acquisition in the UK in 2001 but has struggled to find new institutional equity clients. Many senior staff have left since the employees' three-year lock-in period ended after the takeover.
Suzanne Rogers, manager of the retail balanced fund, was the latest to announce her departure last month after 18 years. Rogers, who is leaving for US rival Capital International, has run the £1bn fund since 1997. Management of the fund will pass to Iain Stewart, who looks after the Newton Exempt and Absolute Intrepid funds. Stewart's Exempt fund topped the table of UK balanced pooled funds last year, returning 14% against an average 9.7% for the sector, according to HSBC Actuaries and Consultants. Thirteen of Newton's 19 pooled funds have beaten their benchmarks over 12 months and three years to the end of last year.
Morrissey said: "We feel a little frustrated. Clive Beagles, manager of Newton's Higher Income fund, left a year ago and people are still writing about it. The performance has carried on. Tineke Frikkee has taken over the higher income strategy and done a fantastic job. Yet the impression from consultants is that we have to wait and see. That's their prerogative."
Her frustration with consultants' reluctance to recommend Newton for new institutional business is evident. Despite consistent performance on her watch, consultants have used the departure of senior fund managers as the reason to avoid recommending the group.
The flow of talent from the London-based business may have reduced to a trickle but new business has yet to materialise.
One UK consultant said Newton had to accept there is a time lag between performance improvement and clients choosing managers for new business. He said: "The revolving door is a cloud for Newton. Once the good performance is sustained, the cloud will go away."
Consultancy Hymans Robertson has put Newton forward for global equity mandates although it has not yet made the final cut. John Hastings, a senior Hymans consultant, said: "Helena has kept it together but a lot of this is behavioural on the part of trustees. Managers leaving can be an excuse not to appoint even when the numbers stack up."
Other senior managers to leave last year included Simon Wombwell, head of UK fund marketing, who took redundancy, and Theresa Egan, the manager of a high yield bond fund, left to join Old Mutual Asset Managers.
Ezra Sun and James Harries also left to join their former boss Stewart Newton, who founded boutique Real Return Holdings.
Morrissey, who became chief executive after Newton sold his remaining stake in the business he founded to the US group, is diplomatic about the departures.
She said: "I like Stewart and his is a different and smaller outfit. I always take the stance that you should succeed in this life by doing what you do well and I won't go around slinging brickbats."
Morrissey accepts the defections may have accelerated because of the lack of equity on offer to staff so a scheme equating to 12% of Newton's value was established last year to encourage them to stay. She is just as keen on keeping clients sweet and said that several increased the size of their mandates last year. The £2.5bn Lancashire County Council pension fund raised its mandate in December by £50m to £600m after it switched from a balanced to a specialist equity-based portfolio.
Morrissey said: "In some ways, looking after existing clients is more important to us as a business model than growing. I have always been wary of companies that have grown for their own sake.
"Some big names of a few years back have fallen off their perch when they lost sight of what they were doing. But we have found it difficult to grow institutional money. That's my mission to complete what I think has been a good story over the past few years."
Her focus on retaining clients is unsurprising, considering that most pay performance-related fees, which aligns Newton's interests with them.
Newton's relationship with its parent is also contentious for consultants, who claim clients can be bamboozled when confronted by the cross-selling of Mellon products, including custody and performance measurement services. Mellon Global Investments, part of the group, operates from Newton's London offices in Blackfriars, and acts as a distributor for Mellon's 12 asset management subsidiaries.
One UK consultant said: "Presentations are just ridiculous and can be worrying. The American parent sits in on meetings and tries to flog services down clients' necks rather than tailoring products for their needs." But Morrissey insists Mellon has not interfered with Newton's investment strategy or culture.
She said: "Mellon is pleased with Newton and wouldn't want to do anything that would undermine it. It's very much collaborative."
Mellon is believed to be considering further acquisitions that would include fixed-income specialists and multi-manager operations. Morrissey has the support of her boss Ron O'Hanley, president of Mellon's institutional operations, on such issues and alerted him to the idea of acquiring UK rival Henderson's private asset operation.
But Morrissey would prefer to grow organically rather than try to absorb another group.
She said: "I want to build organically but Mellon has broader interests. It accepts that people here have a good understanding of how the market works and whether an add-on would undermine us."

A licensed foster parent who formerly sat on the Macomb County Adoption Board was arraigned today, accused of inappropriate sexual contact with a 16-year-old girl.
Jackie L. Pittman, 61, of Macomb Township is charged with two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, both 15-year felonies, Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith said in a news release. Pittman is licensed in Michigan to be a foster parent, but no foster children currently are housed with him, according to the release.
Pittman, who appeared in a video arraignment from the county jail, was ordered held on a $25,000 bond and is to have no contact with the victim if he posts bond. Pittman told Visiting Judge Matthew Rumora that he had an attorney, with the lawyer's business card in his wallet. He also told Rumora, who was in 41-A District Court in Shelby Township, that he did not have the funds for an attorney, but said he would borrow them.

Jim Hightower - Buying a president for 30 bucks and change
For today's report, I have a bunch of statistics for you. Wait — don't run away! Where are you going? Come back here and sit still while I drill these stats into your head! It'll be fun, and you'll learn something.
I realize that numbers can numb the brain, but this is a good story, and I promise that these statistics are easy to absorb. In fact, the number 400 pretty much sums up this story of political intrigue and corruption involving some of America's wealthiest families and corporations.
Let's start with the "Billionaire 400", a clique of the elite organized by the conniving Koch brothers. These ultra-rich right-wingers gather each winter in some warm-weather resort for a secretive, invitation-only retreat. There, they plot strategies and pledge money for electing politicos who'll support their vision of corporate rule in America. For the 2016 elections, they've already committed nearly a billion dollars to impose their vision of plutocracy over our democratic ideals — double the combined amount that the Republican and Democratic parties will spend. I wonder: what do they think they're getting for that price?
Then there are the secretive super PACs that are sacking-up tens of millions of dollars to back various presidential candidates. Again, a few hundred corporations and rich families — each writing checks for hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars — have put up nearly half of all the money in these electioneering committees.
Keep that 400 number in mind when I offer my sincerest congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Middle-Class America, since they are all the rage in this present presidential contest, for Jeb, Hillary, and all the rest — even The Donald — say their campaigns are all about the hurting middle class that hasn't yet recovered from the Great Recession.
Well, don't look now, but after each one promises that they'll do the most for the Great Mass of the Middle Class, they disappear into the shadows and scurry off to schmooze with the little group of Americans they truly love: The exclusive club of multimillionaires and billionaires, who are shoveling those big bucks into those campaign pockets.
Now, back to our statistics: Jeb Bush got a million dollars each from 26 of his super PAC backers; Hillary Clinton took a million each from nine funders; of the $16 million in Marco Rubio's PAC, 78 percent came from only four donors; and Ted Cruz got the most from the fewest, taking practically all of his $37 million from just three fat-cat families.
So while candidates for the highest office in our land are soaking up applause for the grand rhetoric they're giving to the middle class, they're also quietly sacking up millions of dollars by pledging their steadfast fealty to the ruling class. Donating millions is not an innocent or noble political transaction. Written on the backs of each of their checks is their own corporate agenda, trumping the people's agenda.
Ironically, it's Donnie Trump, the bombastic billionaire, who candidly admits that these so-called "gifts" amount to the outright, plutocratic purchase of politicians. He's long been a campaign donor in order to secure political favors, he confesses, and it works: "When I need something from them ... they are there for me." There's a word for that: corruption.
But now, here comes the antidote to this corruption of our politics by fat cats. Instead of being financed by 400 special interests, Bernie Sanders' campaign has raised its $15 million (as of July) from over 400,000 ordinary Americans. In fact, the average donation to Bernie is a heartwarming, soul-saving $31.30!
You can't buy a president for just over 30 bucks — but you can help elect one who isn't owned by Big Money. And isn't that the way democracy ought to be?

Vincent Vega From Pulp Fiction
In Quentin Tarantino's classic film Pulp Fiction many of the characters seem to be stock "types" with which one might be familiar from other movies or forms of fiction. Therefore, the appearance of one of them needs no introduction in the movie, but they are also expected to be somewhat one-dimensional characters that experience very little growth or development during the progression of the film. When Vincent and Jules appear at the beginning of the movie, they are clearly identified as thugs, so that one expects them to break laws, intimidate people, and be involved in illegal dealings. That they are so involved does not require any explanation in the movie. However, while the characters may be types, there is also a deeper meaning running through Pulp Fiction. The characters, though involved in the sometimes superficial, sometimes deadly, business of daily life, are experiencing the existential problems that are common to mankind. This essay will focus on Vincent Vega. As portrayed by John Travolta, Vincent seems to be a not-very-bright drug-addicted thug who develops a crush on his boss' wife, accidentally kills a man, and dies while on the toilet. However, the superficial view of Vincent ignores the existential journey that Vega takes throughout the movie.
When the audience first meets Vincent, he is talking extensively about a visit to Amsterdam. In many ways, this trip to Amsterdam is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Vincent's existential journey, since he seems to have experienced zero personal growth on this trip. However, that opinion would impose values and norms on Vincent that are not his own. He is a killer, a drug addict, and a criminal; his values would be different than the values of most people in the audience. As a drug addict, his trip to Amsterdam, where he can pursue his addiction without fear of persecution, was his way of looking for the true self and meaning in life. Escaping from reality through drug usage may seem as a way of avoiding finding true knowledge of the self, but Vincent was certainly not the first character in literature or in life to use drugs to attempt to try to find his true self. Moreover, the real reason for Vincent's journey is never understood. It is heavily implied that Vincent had to go to Amsterdam in order to escape some type of negative consequence in the United States. However, once there, he may have begun to find himself and come to terms with the person who he authentically is happens to be a murdering criminal with a drug addiction. He certainly appears to have a veneer of cool certainty, one which is not challenged even through two events that would seem to trigger the dark night of the soul.
In existentialist theory, the dark night of the soul refers to a time in which a person has an existential crisis. This crisis can be internal or external, but it is an event that causes the person to question the very foundations of his belief and possibly even his existence. The first time that the audience sees Vincent in a situation where an existential crises seems appropriate is when he and Jules survive a hail of bullets. For Jules, this event has meaning and prompts him to begin questioning his role in life, what he has become, and whether he is on the right path. However, the event does not prompt Vincent to begin questioning his role in life; instead, he just seems to be frustrated by Jules' questioning. Likewise, when he accidentally shoots Marvin when they are driving in the car, one might anticipate that his being the accidental cause of the death of another person would cause him to question his own role in life. However, Vincent retains his unflappable calm during this time, and seems more upset about the mess and the way that the Wolf talks to him than he is about the fact that he has killed someone. However, when Mia accidentally overdoses on the heroin she finds in Vincent's pocket, and he is dealing with the potential consequences of Mia's death, Vincent is no longer unflappable. Instead, he acts in an authentic manner. It may not lead him to a substantial change in his personality, but it does force him to be authentic.
In fact, the authentic vs. inauthentic is another existential theme. Vincent is very inauthentic during much of the movie. He puts on a cool persona and this persona is more important to him than being authentic. His mannerisms, his way of talking, his greaser-hood appearance, and his slowness all indicate a person without a care in the world. Moreover, his discussions about his views of ethics and morality suggest someone whose moral compass is skewed, at best. He seems to find it somewhat appropriate that Marcellus would throw a man off of a roof because the man gave Mia a foot massage, displaying an appalling lack of concern about human life. This is reinforced in his casual response to Marvin's death. In fact, his whole date with Mia, where the two of them are posturing and trying to get one another to reveal something real about themselves, is evidence of his inauthenticity. Then, Mia overdoses and almost dies, and suddenly Vincent gets very, very real. He places a frantic phone call to Lance, wrecking his car as he pulls up to the house, despite an earlier conversation with Lance about how important the car is to him. He is frantic to save Mia. Part of his motivation seems to be fear that Marcellus will hurt him, but it is clear that he is also genuinely concerned that Mia will die. This is the authentic Vincent. Even though he knows that there is no possibility of romance with Mia, he has felt something for her, and he does not want something to happen to her.
While Mia's overdoes may have been the dark night of Vincent's soul, it is also the moment that introduces the concept of absurdness to Vincent' tale. The absurdity begins when Vincent is in the bathroom, talking to himself in the mirror about going home and masturbating, while Mia is in the living room overdosing. The contrast between the sexy and desirable woman he left when he walked into the bathroom, and the vomit and spittle covered woman passed out when he comes out of the bathroom makes his masturbation soliloquy all that much more absurd. Even more than that, the scene at Lance's house is absurd. Mia is dying, and Lance and Vincent are drawing targets on her chest and fighting over who is going to have to administer the shot. Contributing to the absurdity is the absolute fascination on Jody's face as Vincent jams the needle into Mia's chest, and Mia sitting upright with the needle sticking out of her chest.
Vincent's interactions with Mia reveal another existential dilemma, which is the conflict between free will and responsibility. There is clearly some type of attraction between Mia and Vincent. Whether Mia would be willing to act on that attraction is not ever fully explored in the movie; she seems to be loyal to her husband, but she is also clearly enjoying flirting with Vincent. However, Vincent has taken on a responsibility to Marcellus. He has told Marcellus that he will take Mia out and show her a good time. He understands that his feelings for Mia are inconsequential; he is performing a job for his boss. Even more interesting are the discussions about the date that Vincent has with Jules prior to the date itself. Vincent is not looking forward to taking Mia out; he fears that Marcellus is not rational about his wife and worries that he is somehow going to inadvertently offend either Mia or Marcellus. However, he still takes Mia on a date, and one gets the feeling that it is not because he is forced to do so, but because he feels a duty to do so.
Interestingly enough, this loyalty to Marcellus might suggest that Vincent resolved the conflict between the individual and the herd by going with the herd. He falls into step with Marcellus easily, putting his own life at risk in order to pursue Butch for Marcellus. However, his loyalty is not transitive; instead, it appears very specific to Marcellus. Vincent is actually very stubbornly determined to go his own way throughout the entire film. For example, when Jules is questioning his own existence after they survived the hail of bullets, even his sincerity is not enough to get Vincent to question his own existence. When they are in tremendous jeopardy after Vincent has killed Marvin, Vincent bristles at the authority shown by the Wolf. He fails to fall in line with the expectations of broader society, as a whole, or even the expectations of the smaller criminal subculture in which he lives. Therefore, it is clear that Vincent acts as an individual.
The final existential…[continue]

By doing this, the film puts across feelings related to irony and sarcasm, as it apparently wants to ridicule a society that never seizes to amaze. It is as if the film is meant to be surprising by showing apparently improbable occurrences that are actually very likely to happen in real life. 2. The film does not follow Freytag's Pyramid and the only way for it to follow it was
Pulp Fiction, by director Quentin Tarantino, is a prime example of a film that utilizes a multiple narrative structure. The film has three narrative stories that are signaled by inserted captions, and told in "episodes" that are shown non-chronologically. Specifically, the three narratives are called "Vincent Vega and Marsellus Wallace's Wife," a story of a man watching over his boss's wife and cannot touch her, "The Gold Watch," the story
After all, when Marcellus is raped, the audience has witnessed the murder of two college students by Marcellus' hit men, and knows that Marcellus had a former ally thrown off of a roof for an unknown reason. In addition, it is because of Marcellus' orders that Vincent, whom the audience has grown to like, is killed at Butch's house. Marcellus is clearly not a good man, and yet, nothing

The Deafness Before the Storm
By KURT EICHENWALD
Published: September 10, 2012 913 Comments
IT was perhaps the most famous presidential briefing in history.
On Aug. 6, 2001, President George W. Bush received a classified review of the threats posed by Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, Al Qaeda. That mornings presidential daily brief the top-secret document prepared by Americas intelligence agencies featured the now-infamous heading:Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S. A few weeks later, on 9/11, Al Qaeda accomplished that goal.

The Deafness Before the Storm
By KURT EICHENWALD
Published: September 10, 2012
On April 10, 2004, the Bush White House declassified that daily brief and only that daily brief in response to pressure from the 9/11 Commission, which was investigating the events leading to the attack.
Administration officials dismissed the documents significance, saying that, despite the jaw-dropping headline, it was only an assessment of Al Qaedas history, not a warning of the impending attack. While some critics considered that claim absurd, a close reading of the brief showed that the argument had some validity.
That is, unless it was read in conjunction with the daily briefs preceding Aug. 6, the ones the Bush administration would not release.
While those documents are still not public, I have read excerpts from many of them, along with other recently declassified records, and come to an inescapable conclusion: the administrations reaction to what Mr. Bush was told in the weeks before that infamous briefing reflected significantly more negligence than has been disclosed.

Why did Bush get off the hook? The man knew, prior to the attack on America.
What did he do? Nothing! Not a damn thing, but plan another vacation, to clear brush on the ranch in Crawford Texas. Clear brush for more illegals to walk into America. That too is another story that happened under George W. Bush, all of those illegals that walked out of Mexico into America, numbering into the millions under George W. Bush.

Bush and Cheney both lied to start wars they were told to start from the suits.Once this was done they were passed profits from the suits for their collective schemes. Bush chooped wood in texas while millions of illegals came into the country, nothing like helpin out the midlle class huh georgie. Cheney went fly fishing in wyoming and shot a fellow hunter in the face while pheasant hunting, this little hunting accident wasnt reported for 24-hours and the injured man apologised to cheney for letting his face get in the way of cheneys shot. Now obama is getting rich the same way bush and cheney did, with of course the help of all those illegals that voted for him courtesy of bush. The sad reality finally being seen by the sheeple is that bush and obama are birds of the same feather and the milldle class is now doomed!!! Liberal socialits and rinos, what a combination.

There is no debate as to whom is the worst defensive end selection in Browns history. It's Courtney Brown. Selected first overall in the 2000 NFL Draft, Brown only played 47 games in Cleveland, never coming close to reaching expectations.
Over the course of his seven-year career, five with the Browns and two with the Broncos, Brown only played in all 16 games once, his rookie season. In his final six years, Brown actually missed more games due to injury than he played in.
That being said, his failure to succeed in the NFL can't be placed entirely on his injury woes. Coming out of college, Brown was a consensus top-five talent, and many set his ceiling at Hall of Famer Bruce Smith. Apparently, they were wrong. Whether it was the fault of simple misevaluation, a lack of heart or something else, Brown never proved to be an impact player whatsoever in the NFL.
After being released from Cleveland in 2004, Brown went to Denver where he played more games in 2005 than he had since his rookie season. That said, his 20 tackles and 2 sacks did little to revitalize his career, and in 2006 his life in the NFL was effectively ended after being placed on injured reserve before the start of the season.
What's even worse is whom the Browns passed up on during the 2000 draft. Of the top 20 picks, Brown is one of only seven to never make the Pro Bowl. Even so, the other six players from that group include the likes of Plaxico Burress, Ron Dayne and Chad Pennington, all of which had more successful careers than Brown. Likewise, if Cleveland really wanted to go with a front-seven defensive player, they could have selected LaVar Arrington, Brian Urlacher, Shaun Ellis or John Abraham.
Brown is not only the worst defensive end selection in Browns history, but easily one of their worst picks ever. Honestly, for a franchise that has experienced so much bad luck and dysfunction, it's somewhat poetic that a Brown failed the Browns. In five season with Cleveland, the supposedly generational talent only managed 156 tackles, 19 sacks and six forced fumbles. Fortunately for Brown, he at least walked away with an estimated $25 million.

Learn how ritual can enhance your astrological work! If you missed the chance to attend this workshop last August because it was sold out, sign up soon...
Click here to enroll Now! Space is limited
December 3 from 10:30 AM-12:30 PM PST / 1:30-3:30 PM EST.
Astrological magical ritual can be an elaborate endeavour of intricately-prepared costumes and theatrics and feasts. Or it can be a simple muttered prayer to the Sun, unassuming, but nevertheless perfectly suitable to one's purposes. Ultimately, the goals are the same: to bring to bear astral forces to our benefit.
From creating astrological 'fallout shelters' against the impacts of a malefic conjunction to incantations imploring the celestial realm for guidance and wisdom, the history of astrological ritual is a long and fascinating record of human endeavours to actually work with the stars. It also provides an excellent foundation to draw from in our own astrological work.

3 Days in Las Vegas

The Best of Vegas on a Budget!
The burnt ends are a must!! I love that this full service restaraunt has a drive thru :) it's the perfect solution for succulent food on the go.
Great BBQ! The mason jars as drink cups is a nice touch. The food is good, and the staff are friendly enough
My husband wants bbq and he took me here. We shared a combo meal of smoked wings, baby back ribs and some beef, inforgot what its called. It was so good and the place has this very cozy feeling.
They have 3 locations in the city. I 1st found the restaurant while I was out at the Las Vegas Speedway. It's across from Nellis Air Force base on Las Vegas Blvd. There's all kinds of Air Force stuff on the walls. Simply put all the que is excellent. Sides as well. The apple butter is to die for. Try...
Hi. this is a great place for ribs they sell the sauces they use on the ribs also. good service also.
If you can even call it Bar B Que, it is the worst Bar B Que I have ever eaten!!! The sauce taste like 1 part hot sauce and 5 parts water while the chicken cooking process was definitely boil it for an hour, smoke it for 10 minutes and slap on some of the watery Bar B Que sauce....
I had the burnt ends with Mac n cheese and okra. They offer 3 sauces. All are amazing. My partner ordered the grand champion plate. Everything was amazing. We always stop here when in Vegas
As a BBQ fan, I have long heard of Mike Mills and 17th St Bar and Grill in southern Illinois, and I had looked forward to trying MCB on Vegas trips but had never made it here until now. So glad my son and I did so! Set away from the Vegas crowds in suburbia, the place was good sized...
Went with a party of 11, great service and some of the best restaurant Bar B Que we have ever had. The rolls with honey butter were a hit! Our only complaint was they ran out of rolls part way through our meal. It's on the list of places to revisit!
The service here was great, but as soon as we sat down we could see that there was need for upkeep. The menus were dirty and looked like they were printed 20 years ago, the small light on the table had barbecue sauce on it, the plastic barbecue sauce bottles looked like they had been re-filled for years with logos...

Karachi: Woman gang-raped, strangled
KARACHI: The body of a young woman who gang–raped and then strangled to death was found in her residence in the New Karachi Industrial Area police limits on Wednesday. When Afzal, the husband of 25–year–old Rizwana Khatoon, returned home in Sector C-5/F in the evening he found his wife dead. He informed police, who carried the body to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for a post–mortem. The hospital has reserved a viscera sample for a chemical examination. According to police, the woman was alone at home when she was sexually assaulted and murdered.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a forgery-proof information carrier, for example an indentity card (ID card), a bank card or a permit card which contains in an unbreakable bond between two plastics films an insert with a passport photo, data about the owner and different security features.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known to provide documents, such as an ID card insert, with passport photos, signatures and fingerprints and to then weld the documents between films.
In order to prevent passport photos which have been inserted from being exchanged, the insert may be made of a piece of special photographic paper, on the layers of which the data of the card owner and the passport photo are exposed and developed. The insert may then be provided with additional identification features, for example with line print or autotypy, and is finally welded between films.
It is known from German Auslegeschrift No. 2,631,246 to provide documents, such as identity cards, permit cards and the like, with permanent magnets, magnetic sheets, magnetic tapes or metal sheets. These devices may be used to open a magnetic lock or to operate a switch. U.S. Pat. No. 4,066,873 describes the insertion into such documents of magnetic strips which contain coded magnetic information, and a printed binary code is simultaneously provided for an optical inquiry.
This and a number of similar known types of production of information carriers have the disadvantage that the outer edges of the carriers are not adequately protected, so that they may be easily damaged by mechanical stresses (for example when they are used for scraping off ice from car windows). This may render the information carrier unuseable, particularly if the information is intended to be read mechanically and the spacing of the information to the edge of the card is changed by a strain on the edges.
The object of the present invention is to provide an information carrier which affords a high degree of security against forgeries and the edge stability of which is improved such that even if the edges are subjected to a considerable mechanical stress, the machine-readability of the data in different identification reading devices is still ensured.
The object is achieved according to the present invention for an information carrier of the initially-mentioned type in that a metal insert is provided at least in the region of the edges of the information carrier.
The metal insert protects the edges of the information carrier in a surprisingly simple manner against wear, because the metal of the metal insert offers substantially more resistance to a mechanical stress compared to the hitherto conventional plastics edges of information carriers. The metal edge ensures a reliable insertion of the carrier into the reading device and thus ensures the undisturbed readability of the data by the information reading device. Moreover, the information is more stable as a result of the metal insert and, as shown below, is more secure against forgeries.
In a preferred embodiment, the metal insert is a metal mask which is positioned along the edges of the information carrier. The metal mask or insert may be produced from any metal. Good results with respect to the mechanical resistance are provided by a sheet steel mask, which also has financial advantages. The thickness of the mask is generally comparable with that of the insert. However, it may also be clearly lower in some forms of use. If forgery of the information carrier is to be more difficult, then more unusual metals or metal alloys may be used as a metal mask. The mask may also be used as another security feature if it has certain magnetic or electrical property, for example a certain coercive force, a certain capacitance or a certain resistance.
In an advantageous further development, the metal mask is designed to be outwardly flush with the edges of the information carrier and its inside edges are irregular or jagged, as a result of which it becomes much more difficult to open the welded or bonded carrier for forgery purposes.
Another further development of the metal insert or mask is distinguished in that the metal insert or mask is provided with bores, through which the top plastics film is joined to the bottom plastics film by bonding or welding. The join between the insert, the metal insert or mask and the two protective films is improved by this measure and any attempt at forgery is further complicated.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail in the following with reference to drawings, wherein
FIG. 1 is a top view of an information carrier having a metal mask;
FIG. 2 is a cross section through the information carrier according to FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows specific embodiments of the metal mask in an information carrier; and
FIG. 4 is a cross section having an embedded metal mask.
FIG. 1 illustrates in a top view an information carrier, the insert 1 of which contains one panel 7 for a passport photo or a photograph, and on which carrier panels 8 are positioned for the personal data of the card owner and one panel 9 is provided along one edge of the carrier. The inserted sheet is surround by a metal mask 2 and is welded or bonded between plastics films 5, 6 together with the mask (FIG. 2).
FIG. 2 is a cross section through the information carrier according to FIG. 1, the material thickness being illustrated in an enlarged view.
The insert 1 lies between plastics films 5 and 6 and is joined thereto in an undetachable manner. A metal mask 2 is positioned around the insert 1 and it protects the edges of the carrier against mechanical wear and guarantees that the spacing between the edge 10 and the field 9 remains virtually unchanged for mechanically-readable data, even if the identity card is used for purposes other than those originally intended. The metal mask 2 is also inserted between the films 5, 6 and is joined thereto in an undetachable manner, so that the information carrier advantageously forms a stable fixed unit of a constant thickness over the complete surface. Of course, embodiments are also possible in which the insert 1 is the same size as the information carrier and the metal mask is introduced into the insert 1 or is bonded onto the insert (not shown) in FIGS. 1 and 2 but described further below.
FIG. 3 illustrates an advantageous further development of the information carrier according to FIG. 2, in which the metal mask performs the task of increasing the security against forgeries, in addition to strengthening the edges. As shown, the metal mask has smooth outer edges to protect against mechanical abrasion. The inside edges of the mask positioned towards the insert are provided with teeth 3 or irregular shapes which project into the insert 1. The edges of the insert 1 may be stamped out so that they fit the mask 2 if the mask is as thick as the insert 1 (FIG. 2). The insert 1 may also have smooth edges and the mask 2 may be bonded onto the insert. By stamping the information carrier under pressure and heat, the teeth 3 penetrate into the insert 1 and into the plastics film 5 (or 6), so that a card of the same thickness is again produced (FIG. 4), the metal mask being pressed into two layers, namely the film 5 and the insert 1, so that it is no longer possible to open the card by separating the layers for forgery purposes.
Another advantageous improvement in the information carrier is obtained by providing the metal insert or mask with bores or holes 4 (FIG. 3). When the films 5, 6 are bonded or welded together with the insert 1 and the metal insert 2, the top film 5 is firmly joined to the bottom film 6 through these holes. This measure increases the rigidity and strength of the information carrier and, at the same time, would make an attempted forgery much more difficult. The combination of the inwardly directed teeth 3 and the encirculating holes 4 in the metal mask, both measures being provided simultaneously (as illustrated in FIG. 3) considerably increases the security of the information carrier against forgery attempts.
In addition to these security features defined by shape, the characteristics of the metal mask 2 may also be used to check the authenticity of information carriers. The mask 2 may be magnetic, may have a certain electrical resistance, may absorb a certain electrical charge or may be made of a certain alloy which is difficult to reproduce. The teeth 3 and/or holes 4 may have specific irregular spacings from each other, from which a code may be read inductively when the card is moved through a test device and may be compared electronically with a test code, it still being possible for the data in field 9 to be read simultaneously.

K&N Engine Cold Air Intake Performance Kit 63-1043 (NOT LEGAL FOR SALE OR USE IN CALIFORNIA) AIRCHARGER; TOYOTA TUNDRA, V6-3.4L, 2003-04
Performance Intake Kit
K&N's easy to install air intake systems replace the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing allowing for virtually unrestricted air flow. K&N air intakes come with K&N's famous million mile limited warranty.
The K&N AirCharger 63-1043 air intake system replaces the restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing in some Toyota Tundra models. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction as they smooth and straighten air flow. This allows your Tundra's engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air filter assembly. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range. The 63-1043 air intake comes with a chrome topped K&N high-flow air filter and a heat shield that installs into the previous air box space. The placement allows air to be directed through a custom molded intake tube into the engine's throttle body for a guaranteed power gain. The oversized air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install using commonly available tools. This air intake cannot be sold in California. It is not legal for use in California or other states adopting California emission standards.
