Jane Lynch & Emmy
June 3, 2011 by Post Team
Jane Lynch & Emmy, The first good news. Well, at least potentially good news. Jane Lynch is the host of the upcoming Primetime Emmy Awards! Yes, Neil Patrick Harris liked me too, but apparently he cannot hold everything all the time and was good enough to pass Lynch on Twitter and has a point. Lynch is nice, she's a good actress, you can do nice and fun to do and, in general, I can imagine her handling of all changes in tone and humor that make the awards will take place a modern spectacle. In addition, she is taller than most people, so: height!
Now possibly disturbing news: the announcement, Lynch says, "I have really wanted to sing, dance and sporting my best tracksuit" in reference to the signature of her character costumes Glee, Sue Sylvester.
It was a joke. I'm waiting. Please, it was a joke?
Now I can not imagine that Lynch would agree to something so corny as to make the awards around the character, not even the producer Mark Burnett, we do not know the subtleties of their work plan would be. But the awards are on Fox this year, and I could see the desire Glee give the fans what they want, while also providing the network for some promotions, for having "Sue" to the opening monologue or sketch, or some other section of the awards.
Nothing against Lynch and Sue "Well, yes, I have something against Sue. She is a fun character and Lynch, works brilliantly, but is overused in Glee and almost everything used to promote Glee. During the second season of the series, Sue, even though there were times, became a symbol of the problems of the program: take something that was very popular and giving fans too much of it, at risk to any line basic reality of the show had.
Of course, Emmy did not Glee. My more practical problem is that even with an artist as talented as Jane Lynch, I cannot imagine a way for a performer to host the awards in character and do not leave unbearably corny. Unless that is a Muppet character. Insert joke Sue-as-Big-Bird here.

Fleet Town have been left reeling by the news that influential skipper Rob Marshall has followed in the footsteps of former boss Mark Dennis' and joined league rivals Eastleigh.
The move has come as a shock to many as Marshall, one of the few contracted players at the club, was never expected to leave due to a strong link with the club as son-in-law to director Roland Cant.
But fellow board member Steve Cantle wasn't quite aso shocked. He said: "Rob was a big favourite of Mark Dennis' so the club is not surprised that a move was made for him.
"We are disappointed that Rob has chosen to leave, but Eastleigh are working with extraordinary sums and it is something that we just cannot compete with."
The good news, however, for the Sky Blues is that Marshall is the only likely departure at present, with a new, young batch set to join them at Calthorpe Park.
In his first major interview, new boss Mick Catlin commented: "I have spoken to the existing players and they all seem happy to stay.
"I will be bringing in my own players, I have been looking at a lot of players and hopefully within the next week we will have them signed on and ready to play."
The main aim for the former Havant & Waterlooville development coach is to finish in the top half of the table — an ambitious target given that Fleet finished third from bottom last term.
He added: "We want to win every game and obviously I would like to say that we're going to be challenging for the title, but realistically a top half finish would be great.
"The cups are also still important as I would like for us to retain the Russell Cotes cup, and also have a good run in the FA Cup and FA Trophy as they will bring in the money and the publicity."
"The emphasis for this season is going to be on youth. The club is working on a small budget so we can't be buying in big names, the plan is to bring in the best young players in the local area to get them through the system and hopefully playing in the first team."
Catlin is due to start training with the team next Thursday (3rd) before kicking off their pre-season campaign on July 22 at home to Croydon Athletic.

Dr. Allen is skilled, knowledgeable and extremely respectful of his patients and his staff. Genevieve Potts is absolutely delightful, knowledgeable and a very good PA! Their nurse sweet, thoughtful and caring. The front desk staff and phlebotomist are friendly and know their stuff!! I'm extremely impressed with the quality care and professionalism of this entire medical office!

Horrible Dr
Went because primary suspected lupus. After reviewing paperwork he told me that it was not lupus, it was "Just my dumb luck" and that I just needed to accept it. He did run more labs but never bothered to follow up with results. DO NOT RECOMMEND at all. Only a few months later have full blown lupus and shingles that probably could have been avoided if I had gotten on proper meds when I first went to him and had been correctly diagnosed.

Misdiagnosed me, did not perform proper labs, and, like another rheumatologist, blamed my illness on thyroid disease. Now, Lupus is full blown, thank you, very much.

Love Dr. Allen
Dr. Allen is really awesome, he personalizes your visit and makes you feel important. The process is smooth when getting your vitals, lab work, shots, and scheduling your next appointment. In my experience waiting at every station was just normal, but here things go quickly. I schedule my appts. to see him early, before I go to work in the morning and am never held up.

When it comes to Aryana and it's wonderful, delicious and exotic cuisine, it's equally remarkable that two words can also be used to describe it…….. it's affordable.
One of only two Afghani restos in Montreal, I went there Saturday night with some friends and, without embellishment, it was probably the best meal I've ever had in a restaurant in my life.
Appetizers, which are sized generously enough to share between two or even three, run around $2 to $3. Mains clock in at around $6 to $14, desserts, $2 to $3. Two could easily dine there for $30 to $40, not including tip (it's BYOB).
Read The Gazette review below because everything in it is spot on. The mother and father do all the cooking and both even made the rounds of the tables at the end of the night to ask the patrons how their food was. One of their sons was the waiter and you could spend an entire evening there getting chatted up by this wonderful guy. Plus his knowledge of the food and his suggestions if you tell him about your palate or dietary preferences/requirements is remarkable. It's also very vegetarian friendly, if that's your preference.
Among the appetizers (we shared three and they were all terrific) my favourite was one that looked a little bit like a cube-of-pumpkin soup (but it's not a soup). I forget the name, but you basically scoop out the cubes onto your plate with the sauce and eat them with this unusual Afhani bread that is not quite nan and not quite pita.
For my main I had the Kabuli Palow which comes to your table looking like a mound of basmati rice covered in carrot strips and sprinkled with plump soaked raisins. So deceptive. For one thing the rice hides a mound of melt-in-your-mouth lamb cubes, and the rice itself is just bursting with flavour. I've never been big fan of the whole sweet and savory thing, but in this case, the raisins went perfectly with the dish.
The only advice I would give is that if you plan on going on a busy night (Thurs, Fri, Sat), you might want to call ahead and maybe even make a reservation as the restaurant is not large and fills up.

Abdominal hernias are common in individuals that have just had a child or are over weight. The umbilical hernia itself is simply a piece of the intestine that is able to be seen and felt through the skin.
Normally there is a layer of abdominal muscle to hold the intestines in place. Abdominal hernia repair helps to fix the hole or tear in the muscle with a hernia repair mesh.
The first few days after surgery you may feel up to working and continuing life. Here are some tips to help recover from abdominal hernia surgery.
Hernia Complications. Even though most hernia repairs are an outpatient procedure do not drive yourself home. Avoid complications with surgery by taking time to rest. If there is no one to help you at all find local health care providers that offer home care. Have someone from the medical service drive you home, and help you take medications for the next twenty four hours.
Hernia Repair Mesh. Avoid running, light jogging, housework, and climbing stairs for at least three days. You will probably be able to drive a few days after the surgery. Take your time getting in and out of cars, bed, and when using the bathroom. The hernia repair mesh has the greatest chance of staying attached successfully when rigorous activity is avoided.
Loose Clothes. Before the surgery purchase several sets of loose fitting clothing. Skirts, belts, and pants that bind the surgical area will be painful and take longer to heal.
Be Patient. Moving around too fast may result in twinges of pain, reminding you to slow down.
Support Garments. Ask the doctor about medically approved support garments. Traditional girdle and binding agents may be painful and not created for the purpose of helping to heal the hernia.
Tips & Warnings
- It may take five to six weeks before you can move around briskly. Other people it may take a few more weeks.
- Avoid rough romantic situations, rigorous exercises, and tight fitting restrictive clothing.
- Go to the doctors office if the umbilical hernia area is extremely painful to touch, discolored, or has discharge.

If my boyfriend had a decent income then we could hire professional contractors instead of relying on him and myself doing this manual labor. I'm way too pretty and hot to be doing this kind of work plus I'm already mad at him because he fucks like he's in a coma. It was time to turn the table on him so we had some black pros come in to do the job for us. I offered my pussy and mouth as payment since the boyfriend makes as much as a high school grocery bagger. Their big and warm hands explored every inch of my body right before my mouth sucked in every inch of their black cocks. My man was in the back attempting to work as I chowed down on some black sticks which eventually led to my caucasian cunt. This job site soon became site of where I would take on three black cocks which was a first for me. I was finally treated like a little white whore and not made love to like my guy insists on doing. I also insisted that he mop up some black cum but with his mouth since he is very limited at even the most basic of skills. He managed not to fuck it up and now our place needs electrical work. Hopefully those black guys can come back and do that for us since my love for interracial sex has been nonstop since our last encounter.

|Applications of Elevators for Occupant Egress in Fires

Issue 38: Applications of Elevators for Occupant Egress in Fires
By Richard W. Bukowski, P.E., FSFPE
For more than two decades, the elevator industry said that elevators
may not be safe to use for occupant egress during a fire. The Safety
Code for Elevators and Escalators (ASME A17.1)1 and the
building codes have required signs in every elevator lobby to advise
occupants to use the stairs and not elevators in case of fire. Their
main concern was that elevators may entrap occupants where they might be
exposed to smoke before the fire department can effect a rescue.
Following the World Trade Center attacks of September 11, 2001, it
became clear that evacuation of a very tall building can take too long
(evacuation of the WTC towers with the design occupant load was
estimated to require 4 hours).2 Such evacuations also involve
significant issues, including fatigue, people with pre-existing
disabilities or injuries received in the initiating event, and
unfamiliarity with the egress stair system.
Since 2004, the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the elevator
industry, and other interested parties have been developing requirements
and procedures for occupant self-evacuation elevators that will be safe
to use in fires. The obvious benefits of using elevators for egress
include timely evacuation of very tall buildings, the provision of an
effective evacuation means for people with disabilities, and the ability
to provide for egress from assembly spaces high in buildings without
the need for increased stair capacity. These benefits are offset by the
cost in reduced rentable space of a building. However, egress elevators
have been installed in numerous tall buildings throughout the world
prior to the development of requirements and procedures.
During the development process, numerous technical papers were
presented at international conferences by participants discussing
approaches that were under discussion and were likely to be incorporated
into the final regulations.3,4,5,6 These papers became the
basis for many of the arrangements that were incorporated into buildings
as performance based design elements. Some existing buildings even
incorporated elevator evacuation protocols that were shown to reduce
total evacuation times. The result is many systems in use that do not
incorporate all of the features deemed necessary and which are
one-of-a-kind arrangements that may lead to confusion as the
standardized systems are put in place.
Stratosphere Tower7 (Las Vegas, NV)
One of the many unique buildings gracing the Las Vegas skyline is
Stratosphere Tower, which is essentially an 11 story building (called
the pod) atop a slim base that is nearly 800 feet (240 m) tall.
The pod includes an observation deck, amusement rides, and a
restaurant; and it is accessed by four, double deck elevators that run
between ground level and the bottom two floors of the pod. These floors
are designated as areas of refuge (sized to accommodate the entire
occupant load in a noncombustible, sprinklered and pressurized space)
and contain additional elevators and escalators that provide access to
the other floors.
The base contains no occupied spaces, only the four elevator
hoistways and a single stairway (the base is so slim that a second
stairway would not be "remote"). From the outset, it was clear that the
elevators would need to be the secondary means of egress, if not the
primary. The project fire protection consultant began working with the
Las Vegas Fire Department to develop a performance-based design that
could be approved.
Because the elevators have only two stops (bottom and top) and there
is no fire exposure to the hoistway through the entire base, many of the
traditional concerns were not present. The double deck elevators were
to be under the control of trained operators at all times, so no
automatic protocol was needed. Two, separate machine rooms and a
fire-rated, dedicated shaft for emergency power provided needed
redundancy. One double-deck elevator would be used for fire department
access, leaving three for evacuation.
In consultation with the fire department, it was decided that the performance criterion would be to evacuate the entire occupant load in one hour by using the elevator. If one elevator was out of service for maintenance or repair, the permitted occupant load (of 2600) would be reduced by one third to maintain the one hour target. Entering and exiting occupants are counted as they pass through turnstiles to control the occupant load. The design was approved and the building is nearing its 15th anniversary.
Petronas Towers (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
The Petronas Towers took the title as tallest building(s) in the
world in 1998. One tower is the corporate headquarters building for
Petronas Oil (the national oil company of Malaysia) and the other is
leased space. The two towers are connected at the 41st and 42nd floors
by a 58 m (190 ft) long skybridge. Built in accordance with a
combination of US and British codes, both towers have a reinforced
concrete core and contain firefighting shafts (with elevators) in
accordance with BS 5588 part 5.8
When first occupied, the emergency plan was based on the assumption
that the separation of the towers meant that no single event would
impact both. Thus, to reduce evacuation time, the plan was for occupants
of the affected tower below the skybridge to use the stairs to the
level of exit discharge, and occupants at or above the skybridge to use
the stairs to the skybridge, cross to the other tower, and use the
elevators to grade.
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York, there was a
bomb call to Petronas Towers that did not specify in which tower the
bomb was supposed to have been placed. The authorities decided to
evacuate both towers simultaneously, resulting in chaos. The bottom half
of both towers evacuated without problem, but the occupants above the
skybridge in Tower 1 tried to cross to Tower 2 as the occupants above
the skybridge in Tower 2 tried to cross to Tower 1. The skybridge jammed
and it took several hours to untangle the mess.9
In the aftermath, knowledge of the work getting underway in the US
caused the authorities to consider elevator evacuation. The new plan was
for the lower floors to evacuate by stair as before, but at or above
the skybridge occupants were to use the elevators in their tower to
grade. A drill to test the new plan resulted in total evacuation of both
towers simultaneously in just 20 minutes.
Taipei 101 (Taipei, Taiwan)
Taipei 101 took the tallest building designation from Petronas Towers
in 2004. Originally planned for traditional stair evacuation, a drill
conducted as the building neared completion resulted in an evacuation
time of about 2 hours. Aware of the activities underway in the US, the
Taipei Fire Department wondered if they could do better using the
elevators. They ran another drill incorporating the elevators and
observed an evacuation time of 57 minutes. This became the plan used
when the building opened.10
With both Petronas Towers and Taipei 101, the inclusion of evacuation
by elevator was made after construction so only limited modifications
could be made to enhance reliability; both buildings were constructed
with concrete cores and were fully sprinklered, so expansion of
emergency power to all egress elevators was considered sufficient.
One World Trade Center (New York, US)
Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), the new One World Trade Center is currently under construction on the former WTC site. The building incorporates many design features in response to the NIST recommendations from the WTC investigation, including some elevators for occupant evacuation in fires, and a fire fighting shaft with elevator.
In the building, one group of (five) service cars is configured for
use in fires; one for fire service access and four for occupant
evacuation. As service cars, they are of larger capacity and stop at
every floor, but the number is only a fraction of the total, so most
occupants are expected to use the stairs. Until the building evacuation
plans are available, it is not clear who will have access to these
elevators (the disabled?) and how this will be controlled (fire
wardens?). The emergency generator supplying this group is located at
the top of the building so that the feeders do not need to be protected
for the entire height of the building.11
Applications in Asia
The building codes in China and several other Asian countries require
the provision of refuge floors every 15 or 20 floors in high rise
buildings. These floors (which usually share mechanical floors) provide a
space to rest, transfer between stairways, or to await assistance
during an evacuation. As egress elevators have been added to the system,
they frequently utilize shuttle cars (high speed and capacity cars that
travel only between the refuge floor and a skylobby) to move people
quickly to a safe place from which they can use stairs or another
elevator to reach the level of exit discharge. The impact on reducing
total egress time with and without these elevators has been estimated
for several buildings to be on the order of 25% (2 hrs 15 min for stairs
only versus 1 hr 45 min for stairs and elevators from the refuge
floors). A limitation for people with disabilities is that they still
need to use the stairs to reach a refuge floor from which they can
access the elevator.
In very tall buildings, zoned elevators are generally more efficient in daily use; moving more people with less wait time and fewer elevators. Also, current elevators are limited to a maximum lift height of about 500 m (1640 ft) due primarily to the weight of the steel cables. The development of new cable materials (polyimide ropes or PU coated steel belts) should result in more height capability. Also, most very tall buildings are mixed use, separated vertically. It is common to provide separate elevator banks and lobbies for the different uses, so some elevators travel through another use zone between grade and the destination floors. This is often a section of blind shaft (no openings) which is less exposed when passing a fire floor due to the rated shaft wall, but presents issues of access for extraction of entrapped passengers should an elevator stop in the blind shaft section.
Middle East Applications
Most tall buildings being designed and built in the Middle East are
being equipped with occupant evacuation elevators following similar
requirements to those under development in the US. Some designs utilize
refuge floors and some do not. In general, not all elevators are
arranged for evacuation use, and the design may assume about half the
occupants use elevators and half stairs. They typically provide
protected lobbies to wait for the elevator with direct access to an exit
stair should they decide not to wait. The emergency plans typically
follow phased evacuation and they assign (trained) building staff to
operate the elevators in an emergency to control the process.
The Burj Khalifa (Dubai UAE), now the tallest building in the world,
incorporates some elevators for occupant egress from each of the three
use areas (hotel, office, and residential). Comparison of total
evacuation time by stairs alone and by stairs (55% of 19,000 occupants)
and elevators estimated a 45% reduction in total evacuation time (to 90
min) with the elevators.

Arizona Muse: I have my style favourites
Arizona Muse always ends up wearing the same things over and over.
The 26-year-old model is one of the best-known faces in the fashion industry and has appeared in campaigns for brands including Miu Miu, Prada and Fendi.
With all those connections to designers, it would stand to reason that Arizona has unlimited access to the latest trends. But in reality, the beauty sticks to her old favourites.
"I only plan an outfit in advance if I have to get up really early," she admitted to German magazine Jolie. "Otherwise, I barely think about it. I always have favourites that I literally wear over and over until they get buried in the depths of my closet for an unknown period of time again."
Arizona's style is cool and classic, with the model often spotted out on the red carpet in a chic dress. On days off she keeps it casual and shared her tips with fans who want to emulate her style.
"At the moment I am loving black leggings," she said. "If they're made of a thicker material and fit well, you can combine them with pretty much anything. And my favourite summer combo is cool, light boots with a cute dress or a short skirt. When it comes to colours, I have clear favourites: I love earthy tones, beige, khaki and brown."
Arizona gave birth to her son Nikko with ex Manuel Quintana when she was 20, so she reasons she's never known adulthood without a child in tow. It's helped her adapt quickly and she thinks it would have been more difficult for her to welcome a baby for the first time at the age she is now.
Juggling motherhood and modelling has always worked for Arizona, who used to take Nikko on jobs with her and is now considering a move to New York, where most of her work is.

(a) Field of the Invention
The present invention pertains to terrain analysis and, more particularly, to a method for rapidly determining visibility features of broad geographic regions.
(b) Description of Related Art
There are numerous applications for a system capable of rapidly characterizing the visibility features of broad geographic regions. Rapid characterization of the visibility features of a geographic area lends itself to many military applications. For example, a military commander would be able to query a terrain characterization system to find all regions which have east visibility and north concealment. A terrain characterization system would generate a map that illustrates such areas for the commander. Using such a map would allow the positioning of military reconnaissance forces to the west of an enemy camp while avoiding visual exposure to military forces to the north.
One civilian application of a terrain characterization system is that of determining placements for wireless and/or cellular base stations. In many cases, the line-of-sight visibility from a transmitting tower to a service area must be determined. The determination of line-of-sight visibility between two points is relatively simple, and can be done by analyzing a digital elevation map. A digital elevation map is a topographical map on which a grid is overlaid. Each cell of the grid contains a number representative of the elevation of that cell. To have line of sight visibility between two points, the area between the two points must not go above a straight line extended between the points. Although the actual task of determining area coverage (i.e., how much of an area is visible and how much of an area is concealed) once a proposed base station location has been chosen is generally rather simple, the task of actually choosing a particular base station location is very time consuming when using this trial and error basis.
It is possible to determine the regions visible from a single point through the use of a ray trace fan. A typical ray trace involves first reading an elevation value at a given grid square on a digital elevation map. From that grid square, in each direction, any point below the level of a ray from the grid square is marked as being non-visible. If the elevation value of a point is above the level of the ray, the point is marked as being visible and the angle of the ray is increased to match the elevation of the point. This method allows for the calculation of visible and concealed areas from the chosen point. By repeating this process using each grid square as a starting point, the visibility of an entire region may be determined.
The magnitude of calculations that must be made to determine the visibility of each point in all directions using ray trace procedures can be readily appreciated. Known terrain analysis systems perform all necessary calculations each time the system is used or a query is requested. This creates large computation overhead and, accordingly, a need for large computational power. Therefore, it would be desirable to perform computer terrain analysis of visible and concealed regions in a rapid and computationally efficient manner. Additionally, it would be desirable to provide a terrain analysis system capable of responding to queries regarding various visibility and concealment criteria in a compact unit.
The present invention is a system and method that performs rapid and computationally efficient computer terrain analysis of visible and concealed regions. One aspect of the present invention is embodied in a method for determining and representing the visibility of a point on a map. The method includes the steps of counting all cells visible from a point on the map in given directions, calculating a heuristic visibility number based on the count of the visible cells in the given directions, representing the visibility of the points on the map in the given directions with the heuristic visibility numbers and storing the heuristic visibility numbers in a database.
A second aspect of the present invention is embodied in a method for determining appropriate geographical locations based on a query from a user specifying desired terrain characteristics. The method includes the steps of accepting an input specifying desired terrain characteristics from the user, recalling previously stored terrain characteristic information from a database, and performing calculations using the previously stored terrain characteristic information, the calculations yielding a set of geographical locations matching the specified desired terrain characteristics.
The invention itself, together with further objects and attendant advantages, will best be understood by reference to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 illustrates a hardware system embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a flow diagram representing the process of generating heuristic visibility measures, according to the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a digital elevation map representing elevations at various cells of the map;
FIG. 4 is a representation of a digital elevation map used to calculate visibility to the east for 3 points, according to the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a representation of a digital elevation map indicating heuristic visibility measures to the east for 3 specific points, according to the present invention; and
FIG. 6 is a flow diagram representing the process of combining heuristic visibility measures in response to query, according to the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a hardware system embodying the present invention is shown. The system includes, primarily, a data processor 10. The data processor 10 may be embodied as a computer workstation, a microprocessor, or a digital signal processor (DSP). The data processor 10 has three inputs, specifically: digital elevation map (DEM) information, a heuristic visibility measurement database 20, and a visibility query from a user. The DEM information is available from a number of sources including satellite systems that generate elevation maps, and currently known topographical maps stored in a database format. The data processor 10 converts the DEM information into a set of new maps containing heuristic visibility measures. The heuristic visibility measurement database 20 stores these calculated heuristic visibility measurements. These measurements may be combined in a manner disclosed herein in response to visibility queries. The database 20 may be a computer hard drive or other mass storage device containing information relevant to heuristic visibility calculations. The visibility query is provided by the system user who enters visibility criteria based on his/her needs for visibility and concealment. The stored heuristic visibility maps are then used to generate rapid responses to user queries. The results from the visibility query may be tabular data output, or gray scale or color maps indicating locations that meet the visibility criteria entered. The data processor 10 is responsible for the execution of software representing the functionality of FIGS. 2 and 6.
A flow diagram representing the process of generating heuristic visibility measures, according to the present invention, is shown in FIG. 2. The process as shown in FIG. 2 will be explained with respect to digital elevation maps shown in FIGS. 3-5. The execution of software embodying the functionality of FIGS. 2 and 6 is carried out by the data processor 10 (FIG. 1). At block 30 a point on the digital elevation map is selected, as represented by points A, B, and C in FIG. 3. In FIG. 3, a digital elevation map is shown wherein the elevation of selected points is denoted on the map. An actual digital elevation map includes numbers representing the elevation of each cell. For the sake of clarity, elevations are shown for only a small number of cells in FIG. 3. After block 30 selects a point on the digital elevation map, a block 40 calculates and stores a heuristic visibility measurement for the selected point in the north direction. The information need to perform heuristic measurements may be stored in the database 20 shown in FIG. 1. Blocks 50, 60, and 70 perform substantially the same function as block 40, however, blocks 50, 60, and 70 calculate and store heuristic visibility measurements for the selected point in the south, east, and west directions, respectively. Although FIG. 2 is illustrative of a system which only considers visibility in four directions, heuristic visibility measurements could be made in any number of directions. For example, in a situation where very fine resolution is required, each point selected by block 30 may have a heuristic visibility measurement made in each of the 360� surrounding the particular point. However, the finer resolution used in the directions of the heuristic visibility measurement, the greater the computational overhead.
The heuristic visibility measurement represents the area of visibility from a given point as a percentage of the total area that could possibly be visible from that point. That is, the heuristic visibility number of a point may be represented by the ratio of visible area to the total of the visible area and the concealed area. One technique for computing the heuristic visibility number is to compute a ray trace fan from a selected point P in the digital elevation map. Note that the ray trace fan from point P extends in a specified set of directions. Equation (1) is a typical example of a equation that may be used to calculate a heuristic visibility number.
H (x, y) is the heuristic visibility number for specified point on the digital elevation map specified by x, y. S(ρ) is a factor representing the total area that could possibly be viewed from point (x,y). θ is the angle over which the ray trace fan is made, and ρ is the radial distance from point P. Examples of typical functions that may be inserted into equation (1) are shown in equations (2) and 3.
Thus, if a specified point is at (θ, ρ) is visible from point P, then V=1 otherwise V=0. ρ is the radial distance from P and θ is the angular direction from P, and x and y are the Cartesian coordinates of point P.
FIG. 4 represents how heuristic visibility numbers may be calculated for 3 points of the digital elevation map. Each of the 3 points is being analyzed to generate a heuristic visibility number representative of the visibility of that particular point in the east direction. For this particular example, point A's visibility cone is swept through 90�, wherein the center of the cone points directly eastward. Note that the visibility cone associated with point A covers all areas within the cone except for points wherein a region lies between the considered point and point A, wherein the region is higher than a line drawn from point A to the point considered. The ratio of visible to visible and concealed areas yields that the visibility to the east of point A is approximately 70%. Point B is likewise swept through a 90� angle, the center of which points directly eastward. Note that from FIG. 2, point B is the highest point on the map. Therefore, the visibility cone of point B yields 100% visibility to the east. That is, from the perspective of point B every point within the cone is visible, and point B is visible from every point within the cone. Like points A and B, point C is also swept through 90� the center of which is pointing directly eastward. However, the visibility of point C to the east is only 5% due to the 300′ elevation blocking the terrain to the east. Note that the same process performed in connection with as by points A, B, and C would be duplicated for every point in the digital elevation map. This process yields a heuristic visibility number for the eastward direction for every point in the digital elevation map. For eastward visibility, equation (4) may be representative of an equation used to calculate a heuristic visibility number.
Note that the angle swept out in θ ranges from 315� to 45�.
Returning now to FIG. 1, a block 80 determines whether all points of a digital elevation map have been considered in the calculation of the heuristic visibility measurement. If all points have not been considered, block 80 transfers control to block 90, which selects the next point to be considered. Block 90, in turn, initiates the execution of block 30 which selects another point in the digital elevation map for calculation. If all points have been considered, block 80 passes control to block 100 which ends the current process.
After the heuristic visibility numbers have been calculated for every cell in the digital elevation map, the numbers representative of the heuristic visibility to the east are transferred to a map similar to the digital elevation map, as shown in FIG. 5. Instead of each cell on the map in FIG. 5 showing a digital elevation, each point will show a heuristic visibility number for the eastward direction.
The process as illustrated using eastward direction is duplicated for the north, south, and west directions through the process shown in FIG. 2. Alternatively, the angle swept out by the visibility cones may be reduced and additional visibility directions may be added. For example, north, south, east, and west directions may be only swept through 45� angles and northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast heuristic visibility numbers may be swept out with cones centered in those directions sweeping through 45� thus, yielding 360� coverage about each point.
As heuristic visibility numbers are calculated for every cell on the digital elevation map in every direction, the numbers are stored in the database 20, shown in FIG. 1. These precalculated and stored data will be used to answer queries as to visibility and concealment requirements. For example, suppose that Vn is a map of heuristic visibility to the North and Vw is a map of heuristic visibility to the West. If a user wants a new heuristic visibility map of points that are visible to the North-West, equation (5) represents the calculation used by the present invention
Similarly, if a query is entered requesting visibility to the North and to the West, a calculation represented by equation (6) is used.
Concealment is defined as the inverse of visibility. For example, concealment from the North is represented as shown in equation (7).
Concealment maps are combined in a similar manner to visibility maps. For example, a heuristic for concealment from the Northwest can be calculated as shown in equation (8).
Likewise, equation (9) represents a calculation for concealment from both the North and West.
From the basic rules illustrated in equations (5) to (9) it is possible to build complex queries such as, finding points that have visibility to the East but concealment from the Northwest. Equation (10) is representative of a heuristic calculation for such a query.
Additionally, it is possible to create compound queries that address the visibility or concealment of a small region surrounded by a larger region. In this case it is necessary to execute a number of independent queries from all sides of the small region. The information from the independent queries must then be assembled to yield query results. Heuristic visibility numbers are calculated for each point in the digital elevation map. Each of the map cells are assigned a heuristic value. The more the concealment and visibility criteria are met, the higher the heuristic value.
FIG. 6 is a flow diagram representing the process of combining heuristic visibility measures in response to a query issued by a system user. A block 110 accepts a query from the system user. As previously noted, the query will contain certain criteria of concealment of visibility. After the query has been entered, a block 120 retrieves the necessary heuristic visibility information from the system database which was built in conjunction with FIG. 2. Block 130 then performs the function of combining information from the system database in the proper fashion on a point-by-point basis for all points in the digital elevation map as previously described in connection with equation (5). In the event that a compound query has been requested, a block 140 assembles information from the independent queries. That is, block 140 performs the function of combining all compound query information for display to the user. The results of the information combination are then displayed by block 150. Note that the results as displayed by a step 140 may include a simple list of positions in the geographic area which meet the query criteria entered by the system user. Alternatively, the results may be displayed on a map which uses a gray scale or colors to denote how strongly each point on the map matches the criteria of the system user.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a system and method for rapidly determining visibility-based terrain properties over broad regions. The embodiment described herein precalculates and stores basic heuristic visibility numbers so that queries regarding concealment and visibility may be answered efficiently and quickly. Because of the speed at which queries may be handled, systems using the present method may be disposed with military personnel and may be used in surveillance or reconnaissance-type applications. Devices using the present method may also be used to determine desirable locations for cellular coverage networks. Of course, it should be understood that a range of changes and modifications can be made to the preferred embodiment described above. For example, heuristic visibility measures may be pre-computed at some central location and transmitted through wires or wireless communications media to users who could then perform queries using this data on a local processor. It is therefore intended that the foregoing detailed description be regarded as illustrative rather than limiting and that it be understood that it is the following claims, including all equivalents, which are intended to define the scope of this invention.

Halides are formed by combining a metal with one of the five halogen elements, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine, and astatine. Many of these compounds will dissolve in water. Because of this solubility they usually occur only under special conditions. Halite (NaCl) or rock salt is an exception to this notion. It is so common that it is found in huge deposits all over the world. It is a mineral that has many uses including making table salt.
Fluorite CaF2 or calcium fluoride is another common halide mineral. The primary use of fluorite is in the making of steel and aluminum. It serves as a flux making the molten metal flow more easily. Fluorite is a popular specimen mineral for collectors. It comes in nearly every color of the rainbow, sometimes several colors in the same piece creating a striking appearance.
Sylvite is similar to halite in that is that there are huge beds deposited by ancient seas. Because it contains potassium sylvite is used as a fertilizer.

Marco Polo
Marco Polo was born on Sept. 15,1254.
He lived in Venice, Italy his whole life.
pictures of where he lived.
he was raised by other people because his mom died and father was in Asia.
Marco was rich his whole life.
in 1271 Niccolo, Marco's father, took him to Asia.
it took them 4 years to get from Europe to Asia.
during this journey Marco became lost. He was only 17 at this time.
many bad things happened to Marco on the trip.. He even got sick.
And this all leads to:
adult life/achievements
Marco polo traveled for a total of 23 years before he went home.
when Marco and his family were coming back from China they had 18 people. but, they left with hundreds.
He went back home got married and had three beautiful kids .
kids names:
Bellela polo
Fantina polo
Moretta polo
Marco Polo sadly died on January 8,1324.
At the age of 70 years-old.
he died happy in his home land Veince, Italy.
he was buried in San Lornzo.
fun facts:
the game Marco Polo was originated in Spain.
two men from Germany said if they get lost one will yell "MARCO" and the other would say "POLO"
when Marco was lost no one was really calling his name it was just the hallucination he went thought.
yes!! he did find his family even after he thought they were looking for him
A man who was an Italian merchant traveler. AN EXPLORER.
On his death bed he said and i quote
"i did not write half of what i saw,for i knew i would not be believed."

- San Andreas Myths and Secrets
osopinguino99 9 years ago#1
(Please do not post until you see my signature!)
First off:
Bigfoot is a mod for the PC game that was said to have appeared in Back O' Beyond in the PS2 version of the game.
Bigfoot: fake.
Some people say there is an outfit you can dress CJ up in and hold a chainsaw, and it looks just like him. Others say he appears in the rusty wheelchair by Fisher's Lagoon. Still more say he was in the beta version of the game. Well, he is in the beta version, he doesn't appear in the wheelchair, and I'm pretty sure you can dress up like him.
Leatherface: fake enough.
Sharks' existence is highly debated in this board, but many vets of this game have owned it for ages and most have claimed to see a shark or two. The shark's frame is in the coding of the game, and there are numerous pictures, SOME of which are mods. In my opinion, sharks exist.
Sharks: debated.
Another debated myth, there are little lights in the sky that were originally meant to be planes. No one can get near though, so they are unidentified. They are also flying objects. Therefore, there are unidentified flying objects. But, there are not real flying "alien" UFOs, the closest thing you will get to a UFO is the sign for the Lil' Probe Inn. These are real in the PC version tough, as you can mod one into your game and fly it around.
UFOs: alien ones are fake.
There is absolutely no proof of aliens.
Aliens: fake.
Whales were invented by some of our more lively users as a joke. No proof, anyways.
Whales: fake.
>Sea Serpents
Some people just like to have fun. If you take a look at tvthemes' current topic's link to these, you will recieve a very fuzzy surprise.
Sea Serpents: fake.
Apparently he is hiding on a shelf in Zero's RC shop. Take a look.
Pigsy: real?
There is a hut on Mt. Chiliad that is used in a mission around 1/3 of the way through the game. People say that the rabid dog made up by Stephen King, Cujo, will come out and kill you if you get close. Obviously this is fake, because no one would have completed the game otherwise.
Cujo: sadly, fake.

````Secrets/Easter Eggs of San Andreas````
>The Growing Moon
The growing moon is a cool little easter egg that happens whenever you shoot the moon with a sniper rifle.
>CJ the Singer
If you leave CJ standing alone for a minute or two, he will begin to sing a song from the radio station you listen to the most.
>Ped Camera
There is a screensaver that will initiate after you leave CJ alone for a few minutes. The camera will start following nearby pedestrians.
>There are no Easter Eggs up here. Go away.
On the top of the Gant Bridge (the bridge modeled after the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco) there is a sign that reads "There are no Easter Eggs up here. Go away." Best found with a jetpack.
>Car Tire Weapons Trick
If you fire your gun at the tires of a car, your weapon skill will go up majorly and the car will take minimal damage.
There is a pit near the restricted area in Las Venturas that contains several body bags. There is also a Bobcat or something similar parked next to them.
>Secret Vehicles (and the like) Map
In the back of the Lil' Probe Inn there is a small map with bumps on it pinned to the wall. If you actually head to some of those locations, there will be a special vehicle/weapon/etc.
>The Hood-Up Popo Car
In the impound lot of any police station there will be a car with the hood up, around the back of the lot. It takes a considerable amount of damage to move the hood, and I find the car to be stronger than normal.
>The Hidden Ammu-Nation
If you take anything with a zoom feature (limited to the camera/sniper rifle) and aim it into the mirror of any Sub-Urban, you will see a hidden Ammu-Nation interior inside.
>The Andromeda
This is the plane whos spawn points were taken out of the game, but it is still obtainable. I don't know the steps taken to figure this out, but if you ask nicely some of the board members will be happy to help.
osopinguino99 (Topic Creator)9 years ago#3
>Headless CJ
To perform this glitch, you must have a katana with you then enter 2Player mode. With the second player, chop off CJ's head with the katana in your weapons inventory. CJ will respawn at the 2P marker, with no head and a nice blood-squirt effect.
To perform this glitch, you must go to Mount Chiliad between the hours of 7:00 and 17:00 (according to your "watch" in the upper right-hand corner of your screen). Grab the parachute and hop on the lone mountain bike sitting in the middle of the pathway. As soon as the Chiliad Challenge starts, head directly towards the ramp at your left. Jump off of it and jump off your bike, making sure you deploy your parachute. CJ will appear back on the mountain riding the bike, but he will also be wearing the parachute.
>Melting CJ
Hop on any kind of bike. You then hold down the square button and then tap X. There will be a faint melting effect on CJ. His body parts will appear to move back and forth at different times.
>The Territory Glitch
Get in a plane with autopilot (such as the Shamal) and head east. Once you get out over the ocean just let your plane fly for around 3 hours. Keep checking your map, and eventually there will be different colors all over the San Andreas areas. Once you have accomplished this, drown yourself and you will appear back on shore.
>Hidden Interiors
There are multiple ways to perform this glitch, but the easiest is to enter the Ganton gym, enter the jetpack cheat and fly up through the hole in the ceiling directly right of the door (as you're facing it). Once inside it will be dark and hard to see anything. You can fly around and everything, and if you come into a barrier, either fly up or down until you start moving forward again. If you fly around for a while you will find some cool areas you can land on. Make sure you avoid the Endless Sea, as I like to call it. It can get irritating. A few people say that there are interiors accessible that contain all the collectibles right next to each other, but I don't believe it.
>Liberty City Glitch
For this glitch you need an Action Replay and the Infinite Jetpack Height code or something along those lines. (Make sure you bring a camera). On the mission "Saint Mark's Bistro", you fly back to Liberty City, the setting of Grand Theft Auto 3. Once you enter the outside area of the Bistro, you can pop in the jetpack cheat and fly over the wall. Some areas are solid and some aren't.
>2P Underwater Glitch
You need a Sea Sparrow helicopter for this glitch. Have both players get in the helicopter, making sure that CJ gets in first. 2P will then swim around and pull CJ out of the helicopter, for some reason putting him at the bottom of the ocean.
Any myths/secrets I forgot will be gladly accepted!
You may post now.

Say sorry i copied one of your topics but all im asking is that one real and can you really find cars from that map??????
I only copied that one so i could ask about that one
IIRC it's not real, and just ignore OMM. Your life will be better, trust me.
_Red___XIII_ 9 years ago#9
Dude come on my topic was fine... yours has some extra information but now we got 3 of these XD I don't really care but that's what the revisions section of my guide is. However I was never gonna put any glitches or secrets since in the cheats and codes section and even better in the secrets section it lists them ALL. He just doesn't talk much about the myths.
cuz im knot doing nething rong... -Ddaannyy181
