Renea's Tummy Tuck -Carmel, IN
I'm so nervous, and excited at the same time. I have my tummy tuck in 12 days :) I have done so much research on tummy tucks, so I know I need to have realistic expectations. I may not come out of surgery looking like a model, but I KNOW I won't have this UGLY stomach that I carry around now. I can't wait till I can post some before and after photos. I can't believe that in a week I will... READ MORE

But it looks like the two teams could face each other a little sooner, as West Virginia athletic director Oliver Luck told Blue & Gold News Wednesday afternoon that the two schools have been working on reaching an agreement to play at FedEx Field in Washington, D.C. in 2017.
"That's something we're talking about," Luck said. "Nothing has been finalized, but don't be surprised if there is an announcement at some point."
Both teams have a history of playing at the home of the Washington Redskins, as Virginia Tech and the Mountaineers have combined to play at the venue four times. The Hokies are 0-3 at FedEx Field with losses to USC, Boise State and Cincinnati while WVU won its lone game against James Madison in 2012.
"We got a lot of feedback from our fans, and they really liked it," Luck said. "Our kids like playing in pro stadiums and D.C. is an important area for our university."
Other scheduling notes
Luck mentioned the possibilities of adding more opponents from the Power 5 conferences, and said that the likes of Pittsburgh and Virginia have been brought up as possibilities but no real progress has been made in terms of getting them on the schedule in the future quite yet.
"It depends on what is available for us in the future and what others are doing," Luck said. "I sense a willingness from other Power 5 schools to talk to us about a home-and-home series. Everyone wants to upgrade it, but again the scheduling is up to the schools so there are always going to be some who won't want to as much."
When trying to find those regional opponents to go on the schedule, there are always a few things Luck said they have to try to navigate around. In addition to the willingness of the schools to play the series, there obviously has to be room on the schedule for the games at a time that would work for both sides.
With games on the schedule already for the 2021-24 seasons, Luck wants to make sure to not plan a lot of games too far ahead due to the ever-changing landscape of college football.
"People want to schedule these games while still maintaining some of their flexibility," Luck said.
"I think we will (play Pitt sometime in the future). They have Penn State for four years soon, I think, and they don't really want to do both Penn State and West Virginia at the same time. There's nothing complicated about it, it's just about finding the dates and being willing to do it."

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: open
I am working on a way to prevent fraud and I have been told that there is a way to grab MAC address using Javascript. Does anybody know how this would work? If you see multiple IP addresses originating from a unique MAC address it would lead one to believe that the transactions occuring have a higher probability to be fraudulent.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Right, now I'm waiting for some JSP/PHP expert to tell me its possible now...
Precisely. From my limited memory of networking, MAC addresses are purely on the "Physical" layer and carried in frames, which only exist from one node to the next. Only packets (encapsulated from hop to hop within frames) are transported from source to destination, and they only carry IP addresses.
As I said, if MAC addresses were advertised to the internet at large, it would be pointless having any hope of privacy.
Thanks for everybody's help.
It is more than possible to detect a MAC address.
As a matter of fact, on a VPN connection you can specify that only a specific MAC address has the ability to connect to the VPN for example.
Any NIC placed in public, (IE connected to the internet directly) can have it's MAC address read.
If your network is behind a firewall, or is NAT'd you can hide yourself. However, the MAC address for the firewall or router you are using can be found.
What makes everyone so sure that the SE's and others are NOT using this info? 8-)
I'd sure be, if it related to cash in my pocket.
Anyone who has ever packet sniffed, can tell you the MAC address is VERY available.
Hope that clears that up.

[edit reason] removed url [/edit]
I was under the impression MAC address is a layer 2 routing protocol requirement. Therefore any IP information would be "wrapped" within such packet...
that is, presuming Ethernet type (And don't bite me if I missing parts, it's off of the top of my head):
[MAC source][MAC Destination][Ether Type][DATA][CRC]
then the [DATA] from above contains the IP (or ARP, RARP, ICMP, etc.), in the following format for :
{Version}{Hlength}{Service Type}{Total Length}{ID}{Flags}Frag Offs}{TTL}{{Protocol}{Header}{CRC}{Source Address}{Destination Address}{Opt.}{Data}
So the complete packet at Layer 2 is
[MAC source][MAC Destination][Ether Type][{Version}{Hlength}{Service Type}{Total Length}{ID}{Flags}Frag Offs}{TTL}{{Protocol}{Header}{CRC}{Source Address}{Destination Address}{Opt.}{Data}][CRC]
The MAC address HAS to be stripped at each hop. Therefore MAC addresses are not made for "routing".
For a VPN to function properly, it has to have access to layer 2 at the client side. This is why you have to install a "VPN client".
If you can craft a client side code, such as a Java, ActiveX, etc. piece that grabs this information and captures this in the {DATA} section, you have your solution.
As I said before, I might be wrong, so I am open to correction.
what kind of "WAN" is your WAN?
Whats OSI Layers, something to do do with 7 onion skins, I slept thru most of that stuff ;)
Form the ISO/OSI Spec:
The data link layer's (thats layer 2!)protocol-specific header specifies the MAC address of the packet's source and destination.
Whats OSI Layers, something to do do with 7 onion skins, I slept thru most of that stuff
Form the ISO/OSI Spec:The data link layer's (thats layer 2!)protocol-specific header specifies the MAC address of the packet's source and destination.
Right... Which would confirm my statement. ;-)
MAC addresses do not get included in the IP packet, therefore your IP information will not contain the MAC address of the source, unless you use something like a higher layer to store the MAC address in the DATA section... (You can't put your pocket inside a penny... but you can put the penny inside your pocket.)
They are Application/Presentation/Session/Transport/Network/Data Link/Physical.
MAC addresses on Ethernet follow the MAC-48, or EUI-48, and pretty much any device can have a MAC address as long as their function is to Control the Access to the Media on an Ethernet...
If MAC addresses were included in the IP packet, then why do we need ARP/RARP?
How about when the IP packet comes from a Token Ring or AppleTalk or SNA segment? What is "MAC address" for those packets?
Anyone using a USB modem or a dialup modem would not have a MAC address
USB (broadband) modems typically have a mac address. Dialup modems do not have a mac address.
Cable modems which are connected PC side via USB may have a MAC address for the modem itself but 'standard' ADSL / Broadband modems here in the UK do not. They are just seen as a 512K dial up modem.
I don't know the exact figures but the majority of broadband users in the UK could be using USB modems and that would equate to a few million without MAC addresses.

Result: Cookies, scones, piecrusts, and biscuits turn out tough.
Recipes with lots of butter are more likely to stay moist and tender because of the fat, even if the dough is overkneaded. But without all that fat, you absolutely must use a light hand. That's why many of our biscuit and scone recipes instruct the cook to knead the dough gently or pat it out (instead of rolling), and our cookie or piecrust recipes say to mix just until flour is incorporated.
"Whenever I make any of our cookies, I stop the mixer before the flour is completely incorporated," says the Test Kitchen's Deb Wise. "I do that last bit of mixing by hand, and it makes a difference."

What a wonderful way to start the morning by thanking the Lord for all we have here in downtown Savannah, GA. Our day begins with a mid morning breakfast at the Green Palm Inn complete with great company excited to explore our fair city. Each guest sits down to an individual frittata, fresh fruit, sizzling sausage and home made biscuits. Orange juice and coffee round out the menu. Completing this special mornings' happenings are the fabulous stories from each guest before any exploration begins in our historic city. Now what more could I be thankful for this year? Great new friends spending time with us at the Green Palm Inn in downtown Savannah. Thank you Lord!!
Frittata Recipe:
1/2 #bacon or sausage, 2 cups shredded potatoes( I use simply potatoes), onions diced, 8 eggs, 2/3 cup milk, 2 cups shredded sharp chedddar cheese, salt, pepper,garlic, red pepper flakes and rosemary to taste.
Serves 8 people
Saute your bacon or pork sausage until fully cooked. Remove meat from pan and use the drippings along with olive oil to cook your onions and potatoes together. Add the pork back to the pan. I use individual gratin pans for this recipe. Spray your container with a cooking spray liberally so your eggs will come out after cooking easily. Into the bottom of each dish spoon the egg/onion and meat mixture. Top with cheese, dividing among all 8 dishes. Next mix your eggs, milk and spices. Pour this egg mixture over all. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate over night. In the morning, remove cover and place a small piece of parsley garnish on top of egg. Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for about 1-2 minutes. Flip upside down onto your hand and flip again so egg is right side up on plate. (It is easy if you sprayed the dish well. You just need heat resistant hands that you will develop after making this dish several times.)

Grilled Shrimp Satay
In Singapore, satays are usually made with chicken or lamb. But for parties, Chris Yeo likes to use shrimp because he thinks it's more festive. He marinates the shellfish in an alluring mixture of sautéed garlic, ginger and ground spices, then threads each shrimp on its own skewer and grills them until they're lightly charred.
Slideshow: Fast Asian Recipes
Slideshow: Kebabs
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 10
- 1 small onion, coarsely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
- 3 large stalks of fresh lemongrass, bottom third of the tender white inner bulb only, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 30 large shrimp (about 1 3/4 pounds), shelled and deveined
- Garlic Peanut Sauce
How to make this recipe
In a mini food processor, combine the onion, garlic, lemongrass and ginger and process to a paste. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil. Add the onion paste to the skillet and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 25 minutes.
Add the ground coriander, sugar, ground fennel seeds, cumin, turmeric and salt to the skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Scrape the spice paste into a bowl and let cool completely.
In a large, shallow dish, coat the shrimp with the spice paste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Soak 30 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes. Light a grill. Thread 1 shrimp lengthwise onto each bamboo skewer and stretch each one out on the skewer. Grill over high heat for about 1 1/2 minutes per side, until the shrimp are nicely charred and just cooked through. Transfer the shrimp skewers to a platter, and serve immediately with the Garlic Peanut Sauce.
Make Ahead
The spice paste can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before using.
Suggested Pairing
When it comes to a wine choice, these gingery shrimp are half the story; the other half is the spicy-sweet peanut sauce they're served with. Choose a light white wine with enough acidity to balance the sweetness, like a dry Australian Riesling.

Gary Oldman: Single parenting changed my life
Gary Oldman says becoming a single father "set a new course for the ship".
The actor has a son, Alfie, with his first wife Lesley Manville and two boys with his third spouse Donya Fiorentino. Gary and Donya's split was acrimonious and he was awarded full custody of Gulliver, 14, and Charlie, 13.
It made Gary totally rethink his way of life.
"I asked myself a very simple question. Am I a dad who's going to be away working all the time? Or am I going to be a dad who's around at home? And I decided to be at home," he told the latest edition of UK magazine Vogue. "It set a new course for the ship."
Alfie is in his 20s and while he gets along well with Gary, the actor worries about his childhood. The 54-year-old thinks he could have done more for his son, which is why he is trying so hard with his younger boys.
"I had really felt that I had not done it successfully with my first son, although our relationship was always good," he explained. "But I felt that I had been given the gift of a second chance. I'd been awarded these children, by the court - which is unheard of in California - and I felt that I now had these boys for a reason."

Slumping exports slow Canada's 4th quarter growth
By Louise Egan
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's economy went into a tailspin at the end of 2007 as exports to the United States waned, strengthening the chance of an aggressive interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada on Tuesday.
Deteriorating exports caused gross domestic product to shrink 0.7 percent in December, against market forecasts of a 0.2 percent decline, a Statistics Canada report showed on Monday.
The economy grew just 0.8 percent on an annualized basis in the fourth quarter, slowing considerably from 3 percent in the third quarter to its most sluggish pace of growth since the second quarter of 2003.
Quarter-on-quarter, growth moderated to 0.2 percent from 0.7 percent in the previous quarter.
"It does seem that the weakness in the U.S. economy has spilled over into Canada, and that this will certainly increase expectations for a 50-basis-point cut tomorrow as opposed to a 25-point cut," said David Powell, currency analyst at IDEAglobal.
The data knocked the Canadian dollar to its lowest level in nearly a week. The currency was at US$1.0127, valuing a U.S. dollar at 98.75 Canadian cents, down from US$1.0159, valuing a U.S. dollar at 98.43 Canadian cents, before the report was released.
The Bank of Canada has already signaled it will cut its overnight interest rate when it meets to decide monetary policy on Tuesday, but economists are divided over the magnitude of the cut.
The central bank hasn't slashed rates by more than a quarter percentage point since late 2001, but Governor Mark Carney is expected to be torn because of the contrast between a slump in Canada's net trade position and surprisingly robust consumer spending. Continued...

EVERY dollar counts for the children's charity Stewart House, but the $1250 that arrived early last year had special significance.
The cheque, for the exact amount needed to pay for one child's 12-day stay, had been sent by Svetlana Archipov, a retired public servant whose life was changed by Stewart House almost 50 years earlier.
''I was brought up in housing commission in Liverpool,'' said Ms Archipov, now 57.
''My father was a paranoid schizophrenic, my brother was brain damaged and had been expelled from school for trying to kill other children, and my mother had a heart condition that she said could make her drop dead at any moment.''
In 1965 the 11-year-old Svetlana came to Stewart House, on the recommendation of her school principal. ''Those two weeks were the happiest days of my childhood,'' she said.
''I could finally relax and just be a child. I saw there could be joy and music and that you could play games, and every morning we would wake to the sound of waves on the beach below.
''I sent that cheque in because I felt I finally needed to repay what Stewart House had given me.''
But Stewart House, which was founded in 1931 and has helped almost 150,000 children, is now facing a funding crisis. It receives $200,000 from the Department of Education, but a large part of its $2.5 million budget has been funded by public school teachers, who have traditionally donated $2 a week from their salaries.
''Past generations of teachers have always done this,'' the chief executive, Graeme Philpotts, said. ''But as they retire they're being replaced by new teachers who don't see us as their first choice of charity. Consequently our funds have declined and we're now operating in deficit.''
Perched on the cliffs above the beach at South Curl Curl, the dormitories take 90 pupils aged six to 13 every fortnight. But the house needs work. The paint is peeling inside and the grounds require drainage.
''Part of the problem is that we have been so busy doing our core job that we haven't articulated our message strongly enough,'' Mr Philpotts said. ''But there is also that fact that today there are so many worthwhile charities out there that we have kind of dropped off the radar.''
In March, the NSW Teachers Federation and the Department of Education reinstated Stewart House as their charity of choice.
The then director-general of Education and Training, Michael Coutts-Trotter, called on public education staff to donate $4 from each pay.
''Stewart House changed my life,'' Ms Archipov said. ''It showed me that life didn't have to be the way it was, that there could be sunnier ways of living.''
Go to stewarthouse.org.au to donate, and find out about its gala ball on June 25.

Hoppertunity out of Kentucky Derby with sore foot
Fri., May 2, 2014
Hoppertunity, the second favorite for the Kentucky Derby, is out of the race. Trainer Bob Baffert says the colt has a sore left front foot. Hoppertunity was the 6-1 choice for Saturday's race. He was to be ridden by Mike Smith. The scratch on Thursday means Pablo Del Monte can run in the Derby. However, the 50-1 shot would have to start from the No. 20 post position. Hoppertunity had drawn the No. 11 post. It wasn't immediately known if Pablo Del Monte's owners want to start under that condition. Baffert says Hoppertunity's foot problem was discovered Wednesday. He says the colt's foot seems to improve once he's warmed up. But since he's not 100 percent, Baffert did not want to run the horse. Baffert has another horse in the race, 20-1 shot Chitu. – Associated Press

David Bowie's Guitarist Wouldn't Be Surprised If He Toured
In an interview with Spinner, David Bowie guitarist Earl Slick said he would not be surprised if Bowie decided to tour this year. Here are highlights:
On if he was surprised by the new album: "Actually I wasn't even that surprised when I got his e-mail. I mean I'll put it this way: I never expected to do another album with David and I never expected not to do another album with David. That's just how it is with Bowie. You can't expect anything. He's a very unique artist in that has always done things his own way and I think that's the primary thing that makes them so interesting. He's always very true to himself and he never does the expected."
On the odds of a tour: "It's kind of like doing the record. I wouldn't be surprised if he toured and I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't tour."
On how the new record feels: "It's amazing. You know, there are a few things that kind of feel like Station to Station rockers, then there are some other things that might feel kind of like Diamond Dogs, but as usual it is extremely eclectic and it is uniquely Bowie, meaning that it's a whole bunch of really cool things. There is just never anything like Bowie record and I think that's why I'm so happy that at least we got to the album. As as to what happens next, will all have to wait and see. But I know I would like a tour to happen!"

The U.S. Economy's 'You First' ProblemBy
In 1901, William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal launched a cartoon featuring two overly polite friends named Alphonse and Gaston. Each insisted with conspicuous courtesy that the other go first. Amid elaborate bowing, scraping, and après-vous-ing, Alphonse and Gaston never managed to make it through an open doorway.
Now, 110 years later, economists have a name for the Alphonse and Gaston routine that's hobbling the U.S. economy: "coordination failure." Companies won't hire because customers won't spend. Customers won't spend because companies won't hire. This stare-down has been going on since approximately December 2007, when the worst slump since the Great Depression took hold. Many Americans would like someone to make a move so they can get back to prosperity. Yet they've lost confidence in the actions that were designed to build confidence and restore growth—namely, near-zero overnight interest rates, the bailout of the financial system, a weakening dollar, and stimulus measures that add to the federal budget deficit and the national debt.
The latest downer: Housing prices in 20 big U.S. metropolitan areas fell in March to their lowest level since 2003, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Index released on May 31. "I wouldn't be surprised to see prices continue to fall this year and maybe into next year," says Paul Dales, a senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics in Toronto. The Conference Board announced on May 31 that its measure of consumer confidence fell to 60.8 in May from 66 in April. (It was more than 100 before the recession.) Manufacturing growth is slowing, too, according to the latest data released on June 1. The factory index of the Institute for Supply Management fell in May by the most points since 1984.
In Boulder, Colo., Michael R. Englund, chief economist at Action Economics, hears the grumbling on the sidelines at his children's sports matches. "The whole country's talking about monetary policy, and it's pretty hostile," says Englund. "They're asking me, 'Are we still going to have a dollar in five years?'" From Scottsdale, Ariz., retired tech executive and Tea Party activist Arch McGill says people fear government: "The elite need to visit the West, Midwest, and South to get an understanding of the mood of the people—they are pissed, buying guns and food for the coming battle."
The tension between the elite and Main Street is not going away: Economic decision-makers in Washington, headed by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, continue to defend the bailouts and easy money as necessities for economic recovery. In a little-noticed remark at his April press conference, the first by a Fed chairman, Bernanke said that in his view the main risk is not doing too much, it's doing too little. In past crises, he said, it "might be that policy responses were not adequate ... to get as quick a recovery as might otherwise have been possible."
Just how or why expansions begin still isn't well understood after more than a century of research. The French economist Léon Walras (1834-1910), the founder of general equilibrium theory, speculated that an economy climbs back to full employment through a process called tâtonnement—French for the groping, trial-and-error strategy that mountain climbers use to find hand- and footholds on a rock face. As any rock climber knows, though, tâtonnement can lead to dead ends. Says Franklin M. Fisher, a microeconomist and professor emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology who has studied Walras and his successors: "The notion that the economy will dig itself out isn't always true. Even if you know that the economy will sooner or later clean itself up, if that 'later' is awfully far away, you have to wonder."
The risk is that instead of steadily making its way back to full employment, the U.S. economy gets stuck in the current low-growth rut. Employers are sitting on their hands. True, they've stopped ditching workers: Layoffs and firings in March were tied for their lowest level of the past decade, at 1.2 percent of employment, according to the Labor Dept.'s Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. But companies aren't hiring, either. At 3.1 percent of employment in March, the hiring rate is barely up from the recession low of 2.8 percent. What's more, it's lower than the 3.8 percent level at the same stage of the last recovery, in late 2003. "If you already have a job, the labor market probably doesn't seem so bad, but if you're looking for a job, there's been almost no job market improvement over the last few years," says Michael E. Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan Securities (JPM).
When people are out of work for extended periods, their skills atrophy, their contacts in the working world dry up, and their chances of reemployment diminish. Forty-six percent of the unemployed have been out of work for half a year or more, more than triple the usual proportion. Peter A. Diamond, the MIT economist who has been awaiting Senate confirmation of his appointment to the Federal Reserve Board for 13 months, wrote in February that with so much slack in the labor market, further fiscal stimulus can add jobs without raising inflation.
Not everyone is gloomy. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is hovering near its 2010 high after having doubled since its March 2009 low. Yet the recent drop in Treasury yields, to below 3 percent on the 10-year note from a recent peak of 3.7 percent in February, reflects increasing skepticism about the outlook for growth. The National Federation of Independent Business's index of small business owners' optimism fell in March and April, partially reversing a gradual uptrend that began in early 2009. "The 'get-up-and-go' usually present in the small business sector after a recession 'got-up-and-went,'" the organization announced on May 10. Corporate Executive Board, an Arlington (Va.)-based research and advisory company, said on May 31 that hiring expectations at large companies dipped in the first quarter for the first time since its survey began in October 2009.
The public is no more buoyant. "I think we are stuck in a vicious circle," says Fred Crawford, CEO of AlixPartners, a Southfield (Mich.)-based business consulting firm. "There's a pervasive feeling of uncertainty." The Chicago Booth/Kellogg School Financial Trust Index, based on a survey of the American public, fell in March to 20, plumbing the lows of 19 and 20 reached in the depths of the financial meltdown of 2008-09.
There are really two stalemates here. In the economy, both consumers and businesses are waiting for a stronger signal of better times ahead. In politics, the system is deadlocked over whether the economy needs more help from the government or less. A Nobel prize goes to whoever can end this routine and get America growing again.
The bottom line: The key players in the U.S. economy—big companies, small businesses, and consumers—are all searching for a way to move forward.

A warm Kaiser role from Christopher Plummer
Knew more about Wilhelm II than the movie reveals
Scott Marks 3:09 p.m., June 23
Over four hours of the last great achievement of prolific, Chilean-born master Raúl Ruiz (the Euro-TV version has six hours). A flowing tapestry of stories set in 19th century Portugal, from a classic novel, it involves mostly a young boy, a priest and a dense, Catholic, convulsing society that (like Visconti's The Leopard) remains on the artistic side of operatic melodrama. There are experimental, form-bending touches typical of Ruiz's huge body of work, and if you settle into its rhythms, you will be swept along by both the story and his imagination. 2011.

Using Human Power To Run Micro-Scale Embedded Gadgets
The US Department of Defense talks about new developments in their attempts to channel thermal and kinetic energies.
As electronics continue to get smaller, it opens more possibilities for wearing microchips to enhance quality of life. One of the bigger obstacles was finding a viable power source. The solution, DARPA (the research division of the US Department of Defense) believes, lies with harnessing our body's inherent electric current to power micro-scale embedded gadgets. Their Energy Starved Electronics program was founded in 2005 with the objective of finding legitimate ways to harness the human body as a power source.
Energy Starved Electronics have released some information on their latest development:
Anantha Chandrakasan, an electrical engineering professor at MIT, and his former student Yogesh Ramadass are exploring how to channel thermal and kinetic energies produced by the human body into electricity. The team discovered that by applying mechanical pressure to "piezoelectric materials," they could produce an electric current, which could then be stored in solid-state capacitors on a chip a few square millimeters small and discharged when needed. "Thermoelectric materials" also produce electricity when exposed to two different temperatures (i.e. body heat and the cooler air around it), and could also be placed on the chip.

Find the distance between the lines [x,y,z] = [-1,1,0] + s[3,4,-2] and [x,y,z] = [5,9,-4] + t[2,3,1]. Interpret the result.
As I recall, if you have two lines
L1: p1 + v1*t
L2: p2 + v2*t
the distance can be obtained by projecting the unit normal between the lines onto the line joining the two points:
v1 × v2 / |v1 × v2| • (p1 - p2)
For a brief example and discussion, see
physicsforums . com / showthread.php?t=276253
for this question, do i have to solve it? it just says interpret the results, does that mean only explain?
im trying to solve it right now. i have:
L1: [x,y,z]=[-1,1,0]+s[3,4,-2]
L2: [x,y,z]=[5,9,-4]+t[2,3,1]
First, cross product of the two directional vectors from both lines:
[3,4,-2] x [2,3,1] =
That's all I have so far :/
I don't know what to do next because in the example shown on the forum, I don't know how they got the answer [from the forum: (-2,3,-2) x (-2,-3,-1) = (-9,-2, 12)] I know 3 x (-3) is -9 but I don't understand where the -2 and +12 came from since (-2)(-2) = +4 and (-2)(-1)= +2.
Also on the forum there is:
And its unit vector is:
I don't know how they got this answer either. They mentioned at the end of it they may not be right so I don't know ....

There are a few differences between the 05 and 07. 05 was the first year for the Duratec 2.0 engine used in both. If you'll look closely, the power steering pump reservoir is in a different position in the 05 than in the 07. One you can't see is that the 05 has a tubular exhaust manifold as compared to the 07 having a cast manifold. Both are what's called mani-cats since the first catalytic converter is built into the exhaust manifold.
The only problems are that the 05 had a larger hole in the TB so it would sometimes make the fuel/air mix too lean to start. This can be embarrassing, but causes no damage. What will happen is that you'll crank the engine, and it won't start the first time. This won't happen every time, but it will happen. Not all 05s experience this problem. What I do is crank for 1 sec, if it doesn't start, turn the key off, then crank again and it always starts immediately.
I'd get the 05 also, but remember- replacing a clutch in this car is not as inexpensive as, for example, a Chevy Cavalier. Our clutches use a dual mass flywheel that is actually 2 parts separated by a large spring. This takes out some of the harshness when the clutch engages the trans and engine, but it must be replaced when the clutch is replaced making the parts expensive for a clutch job. As you're going along you should save about $1200 somewhere just for parts. Figure about $500 for a clutch, $400 for a flywheel, $30 for flywheel bolts (very important), and $70 for a slave cylinder. Another $200 is in there for misc like brake fluid and a vacuum bleeder for bleeding the clutch down. Single mass flywheels are available to replace the DMF if you want something that might not have to be replaced every time. If anyone tells you that the DMF doesn't have to be replaced, then you should seek another mechanic. Research DMFs online, and you'll see what the truth is.

The GAP was created so that you could have .45 ACP ballistics from smaller framed guns,9 mm mostly.
Its a bit shorter so that they could cycle through 9mm sized actions.
Although its a cool concept, it was an answer to a question that no body asked. I think the fact that the ammo availabilty is somewhat questionable has as much to do with its lack of popularity as much as anything.

"Customized this with bright pink and yellow for my daughter's first birthday party - they turned out so spectacular. ONLY criticism is that the weight of the stickers is a bit thin... but used them as seals for her invitations and they perfectly coordinated with the address labels (same Fantastic First group, which I also customized). Happy customer!"
"I wasn't sure how the chalkboard effect would come across on these sticker tags, but it looks great! We attached these to small bottles of bubble soap as party favors. A huge hit!"
"These are adorable! I stick them on everything my son takes to school. It is so easy to label all his belongings and feel confident that they will all return home:)"
"I had my daughter-in-laws name placed on these...... "Mandy's Baby Shower" and the date of the baby shower underneath..... added a very personal touch to the shower gifts for those attending her shower. Loved the design."
"These are great gift tags to use for children's birthday gifts. I always wrap in the SUnday funny papers and these gift tags are the perfect complement to them."

" A pass which allows you to get into many Paris attractions for free "
A few months ago I took my boyfriend on a birthday trip to Paris. Whilst browsing the internet for things to do while we were there, I came across a website advertising the Paris Pass.
With the Paris Pass, you pay a set amount of money which allows you access to lots of different attractions in Paris, with the potential of saving a lot of money. There are three options to choose from a 2 day, 4 day or 6 day pass. We were in Paris for 5 days, so I decided to get the 4 day pass at a cost of Euro124 each. It did seem like a lot of money, but I knew that I wanted to do lots while we were there, and we probably would have ended up paying more than that anyway.
You have to order the Paris Pass online (from parispass.com), it is not available to buy in Paris (which seemed very strange to me!) You can either get it sent to you, or you can pick it up once you get to Paris. We chose to pick it up, and we had to go to The Hard Rock Café with our printed email to exchange it for our passes.
The passes come in a little plastic wallet. In it you get: a 5 day pass for the metro (for travel between zones 1 - 2), a four day Paris Museum Pass, a four day Paris Pass and a Paris Pass guide detailing all the places you can get in for free, and also special offers and discounts that the Paris Pass offers.
The guide book is A5 size, so its actually a great size to carry around with you as it is able to fit into a pocket. The guide book is split up in to different sections; ideas for days out, galleries, museums, monuments, historic buildings, places of interest and special offers. On each page, next to the attractions it shows a little map and address of where the attraction is, the nearest tube and bus stations, opening times, telephone number and website address. This was really handy, as otherwise I don't think we would have been able to find a lot of the attractions by ourselves.
There was such a great range of attractions available to see, they ranged from very popular attractions such as The Louvre, The Dali Museum, Arc De Triomphe and Notre Dame, to ones that were a little bit more obscure, such as the Sewer Museum. I really liked the fact that the Paris Pass allowed us to visit a lot of places where we otherwise wouldn't have thought of visiting.
One thing I wish I had known before is that if you are under 26 and from and EU country, you can get into a lot of Paris Museums for free. As we went to a lot of these museums, I'm not actually sure if I saved much, or any money buying the Paris Pass. We did do a lot of things that weren't available for free though, such as wine tasting and a river cruise.
On top of the access to attractions, there are special offers for people with the Paris Pass, such as a free welcome drink at selected restaurants, 15% discount off segway tours, and free dessert at The Hard Rock Café, as well as a few others.
The Paris Pass is credit card sized and has a little chip on it that they put in to a machine when you go into an attraction, meaning that you can only visit each attraction once. But there is so much to do you don't really have time to visit things more than once!
I think the Paris Pass is a great idea. I really liked the fact that you got everything you needed in the pack, including a metro card which allowed you free access to travel all over Paris. The only problem I had was that there was so much stuff to do I wanted to do it all, and felt like I was rushing through some of the attractions to get on to the next one! There was also the little fact that I could have got in to a lot of the museums for free, but all in all I didn't mind too much.
The Paris Pass is also available at a discounted price for children and teens, but we only bought the adult passes.
I would highly recommend the Paris Pass. We got to see so many wonderful attractions and went on some wonderful tours. We got to go to attractions I never even knew existed, and that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. The Paris Pass gives you access to over 60 attractions and there really is something for everyone, be you child, teen or adult!
A pass which allows you to get into many Paris attractions for free

The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
And round the pebbly beaches far and wide
I heard the first wave of the rising tide
Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep;
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied
As of a cataract from the mountain's side,
Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.
So comes to us at times, from the unknown
And inaccessible solitudes of being,
The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;
And inspirations, that we deem our own,
Are some divine of foreshadowing and foreseeing
Of things beyond our reason or control.

I finally got around to trying this, I just wanted to say again how happy I am I found this thread, it worked, at least so far! I had an intermittent ride side blinker, and I found that the solder joints in the top right, there's three in a row, seem to control the blinker. While I had the blinker going and it wasn't working well, I was able to touch it with the metal part of my key and it would start working, then stop when I came off it. I re-soldered them, and added just a tinyyyyy little bit to them and wa la!

Atswhatimtalknbout and Scrimshaw turned in workouts on Wednesday at Churchill Downs in preparation for the 129th Kentucky Derby (gr. I) on Saturday, May 3. B. Wayne Hughes and Biscuit Stable's Atswhatimtalknbout breezed four furlongs in his first-ever workout in blinkers. Robert and Beverly Lewis' Scrimshaw breezed a sharp half-mile for four-time Kentucky Derby-winning trainer D. Wayne Lukas shortly after the track opened for training. ATSWHATIMTALKNBOUT--The four-furlong move by the son of A.P. Indy was significantly slower than some of the colt's recent training in California, but trainer Ron Ellis was generally pleased with his Derby contender's first major training move in blinkers and in his new surroundings at Churchill Downs. Atswhatimtalknbout completed four furlongs in :49.60 over a "fast" track under exercise rider Raul Vizcarrando. He covered the first quarter-mile in :25.40 and galloped out five furlongs in 1:04.20."I didn't really know what to expect," said Ellis. "I'm not used to training here and I didn't know what he would do with the blinkers on, so I told the rider to just kind of let him go off on his own. I had a radio with him, so I could kind of monitor him a little bit. He started off just looking around and gawking a little bit. I had him in :13-and-change the first eighth, so I had him pick it up a little bit. He finished okay, but I think he's still looking around." Ellis said the work was the first serious training move outside of Santa Anita by Atswhatimtalknbout since the colt was purchased last spring. "We're feeling the track out - him and me both," he said. "I'm not used to training here and he's not used to running here, so luckily we've got enough time that we can get adjustments if we have to. But I think he worked fine. It was a middle-of-the-road work and that's what we were looking for." The work ranked 27th among 45 at the distance on Wednesday. Ellis outfitted Atswhatimtalknbout with blinkers for gallops over the past two days to allow him to get comfortable with his new equipment for today's work. "He's getting used to them," Ellis said. "He didn't really accept them and think it was the greatest thing ever. It's going to take a little getting used to them. When I first put them on him, he was trying to look around them - he was trying to peek around the corner. But I think, as time goes by, he'll get used to them. This horse is really just kind of a young kid and even with the races he's had he's come around kind of slow. He'll catch on to them."
SCRIMSHAW--Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas was beaming over the sharp half-mile :46.60 turned in by his son of Gulch under exercise rider Stacey Maker. The move was the fastest of 45 at the distance and was his final serious training move for the colt's schedule run in Saturday's Coolmore Lexington (gr. II) at Keeneland. Lukas has successfully used that race in recent years as a last-second prep for 1999 Kentucky Derby winner Charismatic and 2002 runner-up Proud Citizen. "It was an impressive work," said Lukas. "It was encouraging to see him have that zip. He came home in :11 flat and he went off in 12-and-two, so that was encouraging." Lukas said the rapid work was a bit out of character for Scrimshaw, who has not raced since a fourth-place finish in the Hutcheson (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park on Feb. 15. The colt had what Lukas describes as "minor throat surgery" after that race and missed 21 days of training while he recovered. "He's very laid-back and very, very reserved," said Lukas. "He's very hard to read, this horse. He's got a good mind and he's such an easy horse to be around. You can almost always read the 'hyper' ones and the lazy ones, but this horse just does it so effortlessly and easily that you say, 'Wow, was that enough? Did he get enough out of that?' But if he is good enough to make it (to the Derby), he's going to be a joy to take over there. He really handles himself well." While he's on the fringe of the Derby 129 picture for now, Lukas has closely observed the field that is taking shape and headed by the pre-race favorite, Florida Derby (gr. I) and Wood Memorial (gr. I) winner Empire Maker. But he is not ready to concede "superhorse" status to the favorite just yet. "He's done the most lately, but I don't see Spectacular Bid or Seattle Slew here," he said. "I think that the race is going to be more competitive than that - and I could get a surprise. But I see the race as being a little bit more competitive than most." And if Empire Maker were to fall out of the Derby picture in the next two and a half weeks, Lukas said it is anybody's race. "I think you can just pick 'em," he said. "There's probably about four or five horses, in my opinion, that can run a mile and a quarter in the race and there's another eight or 10 that I would have serious doubts about. Their hearts will pound for a little ways, but I don't that they will be around at the quarter pole. That's just my opinion. But that's okay, too. We need that blend - we need everybody in there. I've tried some horses that were dead at the top of the stretch, too."

Add school boards to the list of places child sex offenders will likely soon no longer be welcome.
The Senate on Thursday passed HB64, a bill that would bar child sex offenders from running for school boards in Utah. The bill has now passed the full Legislature and heads to the governor for his signature.
Rep. Carol Spackman Moss, D-Holladay, decided to run the bill after registered sex offender Richard Wagner Jones ran for a seat on the Granite School District Board last year. Jones lost, but Moss said many of her constituents were outraged he was allowed to run. Jones spent five years in prison and 10 years on probation after a 1990 second-degree felony conviction of sexual abuse of a child.
"I think parents have a right to know that their children are in an environment where they're not exposed to somebody who has been in prison for sexually assaulting a child," Moss said Thursday.
Attempts to reach Jones for comment were not immediately successful, but he spoke out against the bill at a Senate hearing in February. He said the chance that truly rehabilitated offenders, such as himself, would reoffend was slim, and school board members do not necessarily need to have access to children.
"As a rehabilitated offender, my commitment to preventing more crimes is strong and more victims is strong," Jones told lawmakers at the time. He argued that the choice of whom to elect should be up to voters.
The bill also faced opposition in the House and Senate, with some also saying they didn't want to take choice away from voters and others criticizing the bill for, they said, targeting one individual. Moss responded to such arguments by noting voters might not always be able to make the best choice in the future if a candidate were, for example, to run unopposed.
Sen. Deidre Henderson, R-Spanish Fork, ultimately voted in favor of the bill, but said during initial Senate floor debate Wednesday she was concerned that it addressed only sex offenders, not others who commit crimes against children.
Debate also sometimes veered into a discussion about the merits of forgiveness versus caution.
"I firmly believe just because someone once made a mistake it doesn't change who they are, it doesn't mean they shouldn't have rights," said Sen. Daniel Thatcher, R-West Valley City, during debate Wednesday before voting against the bill. "I'm concerned we send a message with this that some people are beyond forgiveness and can never recover and can never again move on with their lives."
But arguments about protecting children and electing board members who can be around them won the day. HB64 passed the Senate 19-5 on Thursday and the House by 47-27 in early February.
"We're talking about people who have committed grievous sexual offenses against a child," Jones said Wednesday. She said such offenders, who have paid their dues, should be free to run for other offices, but not school board.
Sen. Stuart Reid, R-Ogden, said the most compelling argument, to him, was that: "Someone in this situation cannot fulfill their duties as a board member. They cannot go into the school or be around the children or system they're supposed to be governing."

We saw a developmental pediatrician for two of our sons last week. Our DS who is 6yo has PDD-NOS and our DS who is almost 4yo has Autism. The dev ped recommended genetic testing starting with the most severely affected. We haven't gone to give the blood for this yet but I have been trying to do some research on it before we do. He mentioned that they would look for all of the chromosomes, do fragile x testing and also microarray. Does anyone have any good links or personal experience with these?
Anyway, interested in what others' experiences have been!
Mi vida loca: full-time WOHM, frugalista, foodie wannabe, 10+ years of TCOYF

Fragile X is a specific genetic condition which can look alot like autism. A micro array... well, to put it in very simplistic terms as I, a layperson, understand it, they split up the genes, stain them different colors so when they lay them on top of each other, they can see the deletions and duplications that may occur.
It's common to have some "off" genes. However, if they see something they aren't familiar with (which is very common), they will test the parents, if the parents are neurotypical and they have the same mutation, they know that gene abnormality isn't causing the problem. If they don't, there is a good possibility that it's a genetic deletion or duplication.
Right now, there isn't really any treatment for a deletion or duplication. However, by having your children have a very simple blood test, it adds to the education pool. If your children have a known genetic deletion or duplication, they may qualify for a study. Participating in these studies puts you on the front lines of new information and, possibly treatments.
Our son has a genetic deletion at 16p11.2. It's known to cause autism and autistic like behaviors (my son has the later). We've done a study, they have helped us get services for our son, directed his therapies with us, and kept us abreast of any new discoveries. There is a wonderful community that we are part of where we share information (and laughs) about our kids. Feel free to PM me any questions.
I'd recommend that they do the fragile X, FMR1 DNA test first, least expensive, rule it in or out, should have results in about two weeks. If you rule it out than they should do the microarray or chromosome analysis. Microarray or chromosome analysis are not reliable tests alone to diagnosis FX but they are good at detecting the deletion on the gene (which will also result in fragile X).
If you wish to learn more I recommend the following websites:
Suggested websites:
Your Genes Your Health - www.ygyh.org - fragile X page
FRAXA Research Foundation - www.fraxa.org
The National Fragile X Foundation - www.fragilex.org
The CDC - http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/fxs/index.html
And, awhile ago Time Magazine did a great article on fragile X you might find interesting.
Time Article – Fragile X: Unraveling Autism's Secrets
Best of luck to you, let me know how it turns out. (((hugs))) Sally
We just had our 2 and a half year old son tested for Fragile X and the chromosomal analysis. The geneticist called and suggested the microarray, since the first two came back negative. The doctor explained that we are looking for the cause of my son's disability (he has apraxia/gross motor dyspraxia), and since I am over 35 and hoping to have another child, we will go through with this. I am not sure though, what this microarray will tell us. It would be great to know if we can participate in any research, and get more education on his impairments. I too am interested in what other people have experienced and hope they are willing to share. This is something that none of my friends or family have experienced so any feedback is welcomed. Best wishes for you all.
A micro array will tell you if your son has any genetic abnormalities that can explain his challenges. My son would present as being on the spectrum when you first would meet him. Then, after about 20 minutes, you realize that he's not on the spectrum. He has apraxia, sensory processing disorder, severe adhd, auditory processing disorder and probably dyslexia. He has a "floppy" ear and some other mild dysmorphic facial features that his developmental pediatrician notices. Since the doctor felt that he couldn't put our son into a "box" (fragile x, autistic, etc.) that it may be genetic. We had the micro array done and it showed a deletion at 16p11.2 which is one of the known deletions/duplications that is associated with autism and autistic like behavior.
We participated in the study and it was very beneficial to help us understand our son better, what therapies are appropriate and also to keep abreast of new developments.
When he was originally diagnosed with ASD, the usual testing was the Fragile X test and a High Resolution Karyotype. Both these tests came back as normal.
A few years ago, the Chromosome Microarray became the standard test. DS's doctors wanted to see if there could be a connection between DS's autism and his albinism, do we did this test. We discovered that DS has a micro deletion on Chromosome 19. This result is so rare that the doctors cannot even determine the clinical significance of it. There are only a handful of cases in the literature and none of them present like DS.
So sometimes the testing can leave you with more questions than answers. I wasn't prepared for that. Still, I'm glad we did the test because I always would have wondered otherwise.
Mom to an amazing little guy, age 9 (Autism, Hyperlexia, Dyspraxia, Albinism, Chromosome Microdeletion)
We got a prescription for these very tests yesterday and DS had the blood taken today. He was very brave. I'll let you know how it turns out!

(5/22/2009) NEW HAVEN-- At the request of the New Haven Police Department, the Connecticut State Police conducted the investigation into the collision on September 9, 2008 that involved Sgt. Dario Aponte and Officer Diane Gonzalez and resulted in the death of Sgt. Aponte.
Connecticut Troopers of the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad examined witness statements and one involved operator statement and was unable to determine the status of the traffic control light. The Troopers also obtained video footage of the scene and the actual collision as it occurred, but could not determine the light status even after video enhancement. The investigation has shown that the status of the traffic control light was a significant factor to the collision, but was not the causative factor. This Trooper has determined based on the investigation conducted, that both vehicles violated C.G.S 14-283 Rights of Emergency Vehicles. Obstruction of. In this section it clearly states in part that:
(a) �Emergency vehicle�, as used in this section, means any state or local police vehicle operated by a police officer answering an emergency call or in the pursuit of fleeing law violators.
(b) The operator of any emergency vehicle may (1) park or stand such vehicle, irrespective of the provisions of this chapter, (2) proceed past any red light or stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down or stopping to the extent necessary for the safe operation of such vehicle, (3) exceed the posted speed limits or other speed limits imposed by or pursuant to section 14-218a or 14-219 as long as such operator does not endanger life or property by so doing, and (4) disregard statutes, ordinances or regulations governing direction of movement or turning in specific directions.
(d) The provisions of this section shall not relieve the operator of an emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons and property.
This statute clearly defines the duties and responsibilities of the operator(s) of an emergency vehicle. Although which operator had the right of way at the intersection of Chapel and East streets cannot be established in this collision, it is clear that both operators failed to operate their respective vehicles with due regard for the safety of all persons and property.
Neither Sgt. Aponte nor Ofc. Gonzalez slowed down or stopped to the extent necessary for the safe operation of their respective emergency vehicles prior to proceeding past any red light or through any intersection. The Connecticut State Police have concluded their investigation.

Quote, originally posted by Merc-MarkO » I really have to disagree here. I've about 600 miles of seat time in 2 different Zetec equipped Focus. They're not that good of an engine at all.
My dad has a ztec Focus, and for a 2.0L it always seemed rather lacking in low end compared to my old 1.8 8V MKII Golf. On top of that I get about the same millage in my 2.3L Mazda 3 (heavier car with more powerful engine and shorter gearing plus it's got much lower emissions) as my dad does in the focus. Don't get me wrong, for the $9,xxx brand new my dad payed for the Focus it's been a great and trouble free car, but the motor isn't anything to write home about imo.
Although it is better then the VW 2.0 8v so maybe that is the appeal.
