|Images of Eagles
The Eagles were birds that served as messengers of Manwë. Among those were the Great Eagles, immense birds who were sentient and capable of speech, and often helped Men, Elves and Wizards in the quests to defeat evil. They were "devised" by Manwë Súlimo, King of the Valar, and were often called the Eagles of Manwë.
They were sent from Valinor to Middle-earth to keep an eye on the exiled Ñoldor, and on their foe the evil Vala Morgoth.
The Great Eagles were messengers of Manwë, the ruler of the sky and Lord of the Valar, being perhaps "spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles" that brought news from Middle-earth to his halls upon Taniquetil.[1]
First Age
At a command of Manwë, for a time the Lord of the Eagles, Thorondor, kept his eyries at the top of Thangorodrim, the volcano above Angband itself[2][3]. While they lived there, Thorondor helped Fingon rescue Maedhros. Thorondor's folk later removed their eyries to the Crissaegrim, part of the Echoriad about Gondolin. There they were friends of Turgon, keeping spies off the mountains, bringing him news and keeping spies off the borders. Because of their guardianship, the Orcs were unable to approach either the nearby mountains,[4] or the important ford of Brithiach to the south;[5] their watch had been redoubled after the coming of Tuor,[6] enabling Gondolin to remain undiscovered the longest of all Elven realms. When the city fell at last, the eagles of Thorondor protected the fugitives, driving away the orcs that ambushed them at Cirith Thoronath, the Eagles' Cleft north of Gondolin.[4]
Thorondor wounded Morgoth in the face after Morgoth's battle with Fingolfin, and he carried Fingolfin's corpse to the Echoriath, where he was buried by Fingon.
The Eagles fought alongside the army of the Valar, Elves and Edain during the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age. After the appearance of winged dragons, all the great birds gathered under Thorondor to Eärendil, and destroyed the majority of the dragons.[7]
In the Second Age, a pair of Eagles had an eyrie in the King's House in Armenelos, the capital of Númenor until the time of Tar-Ancalimon, when the Kings of Númenor became hostile to the Valar.
The Númenóreans believed that three eagles, "the Witnesses of Manwë", were sent by Manwë to guard the summit of Meneltarma; these appeared whenever one approached the hallow and staying in the sky during the Three Prayers.
Many eagles lived upon the hills around Sorontil in the north of the island.[8]
Eagle-shaped storm clouds, called the "Eagles of the Lords of the West", were sent by Manwë when he tried to reason or threaten them.[9]
Third Age
- "- Farewell! wherever you fare, till your eyries receive you at the journey's end!
- May the wind under your wings bear you where the sun sails and the moon walks."
- ― Polite way to exchange good-bye with an Eagle
By the end of the Third Age, a colony under the Great Eagle lived in the northern parts of the Misty Mountains who mostly nested upon the eastward slopes not far from the High Pass leading from Rivendell, and thus in the direct vicinity of the Goblin-town beneath; they often afflicted the goblins and disrupted their plans.
These Eagles helped the Elves of Rivendell and Radagast in watching the land and in gathering news about the Orcs.[10][11]. As a result of feeding on the sheep of the local Woodmen of Mirkwood, their relationship was not good and the Eagles were afraid of their bows.
Those rescued Thorin's company from a band of goblins and wargs and carried them to the Carrock[12] and some days later they espied the mustering of goblins all over the Mountains, to be gathered under the Great Eagle in the Battle of Five Armies near Erebor. It was only with their help that the Dwarves, Men and Elves managed to defeat the goblins.[13] The Great Eagle became King of All Birds.
The Eagles appeared in great numbers at the Battle of the Morannon, helping the Host of the West against the Nazgûl. Several of them rescued Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee from Mount Doom after the One Ring had been destroyed.[14]
In Gnomish, one of Tolkien's early conceptions of an Elven language, a word for "eagle" is ioroth (poetic form ior). A cognate of the same meaning in Qenya is the poetic ea(r) or earen. Another Gnomish word for "an eagle" is thorn.[15]
Tolkien's painting of an eagle on a crag appears in some editions of The Hobbit. According to Christopher Tolkien, the author based this picture on a painting by Archibald Thorburn of an immature Golden Eagle, which Christopher found for him in The Birds of the British Isles by T.A. Coward. However, Tolkien's use of this model does not necessarily mean that his birds were ordinary Golden Eagles.
Other versions of the legendarium
For some time Tolkien considered the Eagles as bird-shaped Maiar,[16] as he felt it unlikely Ilúvatar would grant fëar to animals. However, the notion of a "Maia" like Thorondor having descendants contradicted later concepts and Tolkien later decided that the Great Eagles (like Roäc and the Thrush of The Hobbit) were common animals that had been "taught language by the Valar, and raised to a higher level — but without fëar."[17]
Flying the Ring to Mount Doom
- "The Eagles are a dangerous 'machine'. I have used them sparingly, and that is the absolute limit of their credibility or usefulness. "
- ― Letter 210, J.R.R. Tolkien
Many sceptical readers have wondered why the Eagles simply didn't carry Frodo and the One Ring into Mordor and drop the Ring in Mount Doom. At first glance this seems incredibly easy compared to the alternative (and it would have made a boring book).
Particularly, on the writer-director DVD commentary track, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh repeat this statement and begin joking around about it; writing partner Philippa Boyens then bursts out and angrily declares "Why does everyone always say that?! The flying Nazgûl on their Fell Beasts would have stopped them! How more obvious does that need to be?! Mordor has flying creatures too!" As a consequence, Jackson and Walsh fall silent, then quietly admit that her explanation entirely makes sense.
Several explanations have been given as internal story-wise reasons; some of them are:
- The Eagles coming from the air would have been fairly obvious and defensless to Sauron; the Fell beasts and/or archers would most likely have stopped the attempt. The Eagles expressed fear in The Hobbit about going into the Lands of Men because of their bows. However this danger perhaps could possibly have been countered with a parallel divertive battle plan, more or less like the Battle of Morannon begun to help Frodo (see External links for such a discussion).
- The Eagles would most likely have become corrupted by the power of the Ring and would have most likely attempted to prevent the destruction of the Ring. Gandalf already knew that anyone might and would refuse to throw in the Ring but the Eagles, as Maiar, could have been more dangerous.
- The Eagles would have refused to aid the Fellowship because they, being emissaries of the Valar like Gandalf, were not allowed to go on the offensive against evil. Flying the Ring to Mordor could have been the Fellowship's first priority but maybe they were unable to contact the Eagles in time.
The Eagles not being mentioned at all during the Council of Elrond is considered a logical plot hole by itself. Although many flawed proposals are made during it (destroy the Ring, sending it to the West, giving it to Tom Bombadil), none of the participants thought to propose this quite obvious solution, especially since it was not long after Gandalf described his escape with Gwaihir; even if the Eagle plan was to be countered or dismissed implausible later for some reason (such the ones above), it would be only logical to be mentioned.
If the Eagles could not have flown the Ring to Mordor, Gandalf might still have arranged with Gwaihir for them to fly the Fellowship across the Misty Mountains, avoiding the Redhorn Gate and Moria.
The party of Tolkienists that accepts this as a plot hole usually respond that in any book there are usually plot holes. In a larger, far more detailed and realistic book we expect fewer (if any) plot holes, when in reality there is a far greater chance.

Shirley Temple, the Depression-era child star, famous for her curly hair, tap dance routines and sing-a-long standards, died Monday, according to publicist Cheryl Kagan. She was 85.
Temple was America's top box-office draw from 1935 to 1938, a record no other child star has come near. In 1935, she won a special Academy Award in for her "outstanding contribution to screen entertainment."
While her on-camera career was short-lived — she retired from films at 21 — she sang, danced and grinned her way into entertainment history.
Here's a look at some of her most iconic songs and dance numbers.

Most notably known as Chenin Blanc. A grape varietal used in the production of white wine, originating in the Loire region of France. The grape is also grown in the United States (specifically California), South Africa, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand. 100% Chenin Blanc is labeled Vouvray (a town in the Loire region of France) and Savennieres. Most often the varietal is blended with many different varietals to produce domestic Chablis, California sparkling wines, and cheap jug wines.
Also known as: Steen, Pineau de la Loire, Pineau de Savenniéres, White Pinot, Pinot Blanco, Pineau d'Anjou, and Chenin Blanc.
Characteristics: Chenin Blanc produces varying styles and qualities. Chenin Blanc is the base grape for many superior French wines and is also used to enhance jug wines produced in the United States. Those French wines considered superior include those from Savenniéres, Vouvray and Coteaux du Layon. The French Chenin Blanc is a naturally high acidic grape varietal that produces dry to moderately sweet whites that are typically fruity, crisp, fragrant and spicey.
Ageing: Chenin Blanc ages well, 2 -5 years is typical for average quality versions. Sweeter, higher quality French Chenin Blanc can age for 20 years or more.
Serving temperature: Serve at a temperature of 40º-45º F.
Food pairings: Light rice dishes, salads, seafood, poultry, ham, and spicey foods.

Amount budgeted for policing in Derby nearly doubled
copyright the Chronicle January 18, 2017
by Joseph Gresser
DERBY — The Derby Select Board voted at its meeting Monday night for a municipal budget that would nearly double the amount set aside for policing — from $47,000 to $90,000. However, select board members said they would prefer not to have to spend the full amount. Their discussion came after former state Representative Bob Lewis presented a report on how the new Walmart might affect the town's law enforcement needs.
Mr. Lewis, who served both as a State Police trooper and game warden before his retirement, said he spoke with the security manager at Walmart, Newport City Police Chief Seth DiSanto, and Orleans County Sheriff Kirk Martin in preparing his presentation.
He pointedly omitted Lieutenant Walt Smith, the commander of the Derby State Police barracks, from his conversations with law enforcement, saying that the lieutenant made his attitude about responding to the town's needs clear in statements to the select board last March.
"I think it's just political," Mr. Lewis said of Lieutenant Smith's refusal to commit to responding to low level crime at the new big box store. He suggested that Tom Anderson, the newly appointed Commissioner of Public Safety, might reverse that policy if pressed by local representatives.

The final votes have been counted and moving on to the finals–and one step closer (and one step away) from winning $5,000 in cold, hard cash–is NuuLife Cinema, as they pickpocketed the Video Gypsys and sent them on their way. But the hard part for NuuLife's hard-fought battle has just begun, as they will face this Showdown's two most feared contenders… Think Thank and Helgasons.com
Week 11.5 is now upon us and we have two more Superpark Sunday Showdown contenders, with Think Thank going head-to-head against Helgasons.com. Vote for your favorite video and help them advance to the next round and potentially win $5,000 compliments of Gatorade. Voting is allowed each day, so check back to make sure your favorite is winning. Voting will end 8/27/10 at midnight.
Think Thank
You can watch the vids at 300 pixels wide, or click the icon and watch them full screen once the video starts. Don't forget to vote for your favorite video.
What's your thoughts about this weeks contenders?
Think Thank
The Think Thank posse have taken out both JTR Productions and Mr. Matt Roberge in fine fashion, but this week, they face their most ominous opponent in the Helgasons. If their following can match that of the Icelandic brothers and filmer Johannes, they stand a very good chance of going the distance, and they just might, 'cause after making films for almost a decade, this crew has quite a large fan base. Though he'll tell you that it is a collaborative effort, Jesse Burtner is the brains behind Think Thank. Since their first production Thunk in 2004, Burtner and company have changed the fabric of snowboard filmmaking by rewriting the rules. Think Thank is proof positive that great snowboarding and compelling footage needn't be death defying, exotic, or the product of an astronomical budget. For the Superpark Sunday Showdown, Think Thank put this year's two-disc epic Left Brain, Right Brain on the back burner for a few days to create an original short, titled 2 More, Skip The Last with a cast that includes Jason Robinson, Sam Hulbert, Nick Visconti, Ben Bogart, Sean Genovese and over a dozen other supporting players.
Every contender that has gotten into the ring with Helgasons.com has been TKO's ASAP. Last round's trouncing of Play Big Productions was a repeat of their first faceoff against 4 Reel, both victories garnering over 80% of the ballots cast. Johannes Brenning might not have his name on the URL but he has left his mark all over Helgasons.com. As the primary filmer for Eiki and Halldór, Johannnes spent last season documenting their every antic. That journey brought him to Superpark 14 alongside Halldór. This video is one of the most anticipated Superpark Sunday offerings of the entire Showdown because of not just the hype around Halldór but also because they were ambitious enough to actually release a teaser for this edit two months ago! So sit back, better make it full screen by clicking the up left and down right arrows below and turn up the volume. Oh and the baja pullovers are DC's tribute to Cinco Dé Mayo as are the cerveza's. And the throwing up in the trees? That's how you know it is May 6th!
About Superpark Sunday Showdown
The Superpark Sunday Showdown is presented by Gatorade.

Chicken Posole with Tomatillos
This is a really easy and quick posole, but it's also packed with flavor. If you've never eaten it, posole is a soup with shredded chicken or pork, hominy and lots of Mexican flavors, like oregano, chiles, cilantro and lime. I like to add chopped fresh tomatillos to mine. They have a mild flavor that's crisp and clean--a cross between celery and a green tomato with a hit of lime. That's my best description. Plus, they contribute a vegetable component to the soup.
This is perfect for leftover roast chicken. Whenever I make roast chicken lately, I've started roasting two birds. It is truly no extra work, and the leftovers are awesome! Of course, if you never have leftover chicken laying around, you have other options...see the recipe head note!
Chicken Posole
You can poach some chicken breasts if you don't have leftover meat, or just use the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken. Turkey and pork also work well. Don't skip the extras--I especially love the sliced radish.
Serves 4 generously
1 Tbs canola oil
1 large onion, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground allspice
Chile flakes to taste
4 cloves garlic, chopped
6 cups reduced sodium chicken broth (or use up to 2 cups water to replace some of the broth)
8 tomatillos, cut into quarters or sixths
28 can hominy, rinsed and drained
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped into bite-size pieces
Juice of 1 lime
For serving: thinly sliced radish, lime wedges, chopped cilantro, crumbled feta or cotija cheese
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, salt and pepper to taste, oregano, cumin and allspice, and cook until tender and lightly browned. Add chile flakes and garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Add broth (or broth and water) and bring to a boil. Add tomatillos and simmer until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add hominy and chicken and simmer just until heated through. Turn off heat and stir in lime juice. Check seasoning and adjust as necessary (you may opt to add more cumin or allspice as well as salt and pepper). Serve with suggested accompaniments.

Watch Nine Inch Nails' Full Performance From Lollapalooza 2013
On Friday night (Aug. 2), Nine Inch Nails played a live show in the U.S. for the first time in four years at Lollapalooza. The entire 97-minute performance has now been posted on YouTube for your viewing pleasure.
Trent Reznor and company had the Chicago crowd enthralled with a mix of old and new songs. With their latest album 'Hesitation Marks' set to be released Sept. 3, the band played tracks from that record including the single 'Came Back Haunted' along with 'Copy of A' and 'Find My Way.'
Nine Inch Nails played plenty of classic songs during the 22 song set as well, such as 'The Hand that Feeds,' 'Head Like a Hole,' 'Closer, 'Terrible Lie,' and 'Hurt.'
The eclectic three-day festival also included performances from Queens of the Stone Age, Baroness, Ghost, Imagine Dragons, Foals and many others.
For those who weren't able to make it to Lollapalooza, there are plenty more chances to see Nine Inch Nails live this summer and fall. After playing some European Festivals this month, they return for a full North American tour that will traverse the U.S. and Canada from Sept. 28 through Nov. 25.

Veteran IndyCar driver Tony Kanaan, winner of this year's Indianapolis 500, next year will join one of the sport's strongest teams, Chip Ganassi Racing.
Ganassi announced that it signed the 38-year-old Brazilian to a multi-year deal to become the team's fourth driver.
The others are four-time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, two-time title winner Scott Dixon and Charlie Kimball, a Camarillo native who won his first career IndyCar race this year at Mid-Ohio.
"I couldn't be happier to join this organization," Kanaan said in a statement. "They are the gold standard that all IndyCar teams measure themselves against."
Kanaan, who currently drives for the team KV Racing Technology, has 16 IndyCar wins in his 15-year career and was the 2004 series champion. He's 11th in this year's title standings.
Separately, Ganassi said his team next year would switch to Chevrolet engines from Honda. The NASCAR team that Ganassi co-owns, Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, already uses Chevrolet engines.
"There are a lot of synergies that we will be able to realize in working with the same manufacturer across the two series," Ganassi said.

Any generalization could be significantly incorrect for a given application. Buying 32 nodes based on some generalization could lead to significantly less performance per $ on your application. If your power/cooling isn't free I'd also look at power usage, I've seen power/cooling costs approach 50% of a 3 year cost to own for a $3k system. In general a dual opteron has around twice the memory bandwidth and lower power usage than the nocona. Additionally the new 90nm opterons use even less power (per MHz). -- Bill Broadley Computational Science and Engineering UC Davis

Views on AIDS: The Benefits of Male Circumcision; a More Optimistic Battle; the Need to Focus on High-Impact Prevention Strategies

A selection of editorials and op-eds from around the country that focus on the campaign to eradicate HIV.

Is HIV/AIDS Funding Insufficient?
That is a billion dollar question when we face other competing priorities like heart diseases, diabetes, maternal health, and cancer. the political leaders are talking about an AIDS-free generation. Whether this is possible or not is another debate, but it is a laudable goal. It is possible to have 15 million AIDS patients on treatment by 2015, thus ensuring close to universal access to treatment we dream of. There is also huge cry for more funds. the International AIDS Conference in July 2012 will debate this and other issues. However, serious rethinking must be done and each donor must ask, Is funding for HIV/AIDS sufficient? I think it is. Here is why. (Taifiqur Rahman, The Hill, 7/23)

What Is Diarrhea?
Diarrhea is an increase in the water content, frequency, and volume of bowel movements. It is frequent in people with HIV disease.
Diarrhea can be a serious problem. Mild cases disappear within a few days. Severe cases can cause serious dehydration or nutritional problems.
Is Diarrhea Dangerous?
The greatest risk of diarrhea is dehydration. You can lose up to a gallon of water each day. Along with the water, you lose minerals (electrolytes) that are important for normal body functions. The main electrolytes are sodium and potassium.
Severe dehydration can cause the body to go into shock and is potentially fatal. Dehydration is more serious for infants and children than for adults. Anyone with diarrhea should drink plenty of clear liquids. Tea, chicken broth, ginger ale, or soda are good choices. These are better than plain water, which does not replace any electrolytes.
Diarrhea that continues over a long period of time can cause poor absorption of nutrients. This can lead to wasting (see Fact Sheet 519).
Diarrhea can be dangerous. Be sure your health care provider knows if your diarrhea lasts more than a few days.
What Causes Diarrhea?
It can be difficult to find out what is causing diarrhea. Diarrhea is sometimes caused by an infection in the stomach or intestines. It can also be caused by an inability to digest milk products (lactose intolerance), by problems with the pancreas, or by emotional stress. Bacteria, parasites, fungi, or viruses can cause the infection.
How Do I Know What Is Causing My Diarrhea?
Your health care provider will ask you what you have been eating and drinking recently, and whether you have been travelling. Samples of your bowel movement (or "stool") may be tested for signs of bacteria or parasites. Your health care provider may repeat this test if nothing shows up the first time. In some cases your blood or urine will also be tested.
If these tests do not show the cause of diarrhea, your health care provider may look inside your digestive tract with a special tool or scope. The name of this procedure depends on where the health care provider is looking. "Endoscopy" is a general term that means "to look inside." A colonoscopy is a procedure where the health care provider examines the colon, and so on. The cause of about one third of all cases of diarrhea cannot be determined.
How Is Diarrhea Treated?
1. Change What You Eat: Some foods can cause diarrhea, and others can help stop it.
Don't eat:
Do eat:
2. Drug Treatments: A new treatment for HIV-associated diarrhea is Fulyzaq (crofelemer). It was approved by the FDA late in 2012. Different medications are used to treat different types of diarrhea. Your health care provider may not be able to prescribe a medication without some idea of what is causing your diarrhea.
You do not need a prescription for over-the-counter treatments. Some of these work very well for diarrhea, including:
Some other products that are usually sold to treat constipation can also help with diarrhea. These products contain "soluble" fiber that adds bulk and absorbs water. This includes products like Metamucil, Citrucel, or other products that contain psyllium.
3. Alternative Therapies for Diarrhea: Acidophilus capsules (which contain helpful bacteria) can help restore normal digestion, especially when you are taking antibiotics. Some types of yogurt contain "live cultures" of acidophilus that work the same way.
Peppermint, ginger and nutmeg are believed to help with digestive problems. Peppermint or ginger tea or ginger ale would be good choices for "clear liquids." Try adding nutmeg to your food or drinks.
Studies have shown that calcium supplements helped relieve diarrhea in people taking nelfinavir (Viracept). This might work for diarrhea caused by other medications.
The Bottom Line
Diarrhea is a common problem for people with HIV. It is usually caused by an infection in the digestive system. Stress, some medications, or problems digesting milk products can also cause diarrhea.
The most serious result is dehydration. This is more of a problem for children than for adults. If you have diarrhea, you should drink plenty of clear liquids.
Some simple changes in your food can help with diarrhea. So can some over the counter medications or acidophilus.
Be sure you tell your health care provider if your diarrhea lasts more than a few days.

"Flames are in a tough spot, gang.
They get worked by the Canucks on their home ice, so are expected to put in a good effort. Detroit has lost 5 games in a row.
If the Flames win the attitude is 'well, they bloody well should have after their performance in their last game' but us non-believers can shrug and say that the Flames caught Detroit while they playing badly.
Almost no win, really. "
And because the Flames are trying to turn us all into schizophrenics, they of course did win in Detroit.
We were watching the game, and we remarked to the ether that we had not seen a Detroit team look this bad in a long time. But maybe that is just a product of our perspective: Perhaps the Flames made Detroit look that bad.
It's a matter of faith. Do you still believe in this team, or have you lost the faith? If you still believe, then last nights victory over the Detroit Red Wings is reason for optimism, but if you don't believe, then last nights victory over a club that had lost it's five previous games it had played doesn't really tell you anything at all: We know the Flames can beat bad teams. The Flames, in fact, are probably the best of the bad teams. The question is are they more than that, and do they have a chance?
The title is a tell for our position on the team: A win over Detroit should be a win over Detroit, yet we are mired in the misery of the faithless: we don't buy in.
(Think about what miserable fucks that makes us: A win over the Red Wings isn't even good enough anymore!)
Instead of going over why, which is pretty well documented, let's talk about what it will take to make us believers.
We once heard some insane stat that most teams in the top 8 come American Thanksgiving tend to stay there. American Thanksgiving is what, November 24th.
From now till then, the Flames play the Sabres, Avalanche (twice), Wild, Hawks (twice), Sens, Jackets, and the Red Wings. If the Flames go 6-3 on this portion of the schedule...we might just start heading down the road to Damascus again.
Furthermore, I think

SIZE ( in inches) : 3.5" dia x 8.5" ht
MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS : Bamboo & cane
Designed Concept:
In design and form the product design range is simple, original and aesthetic and is geared to regular home use. In this it also attempts to place itself in the gift market. The products have a vegetable or natural dye component in the weave and often an overall rustic finish. The essentially bamboo products include fine basketry, cane binding work, minimal wood elements and some loin loom weaving, which have been differently combined to create a range of home accessories and lights. The use of the traditional skill of bamboo and cane basketry to develop new product designs lies at the core of this craft design development programme. As the first design development exercise with the women's group, it tries to make best use of the limited existing basketry skills and introduces other material combinations for effective and aesthetic design.

I dont think that will be an issue, last time he left cleveland, his home team, the team that drafted him and a city that was left dry that had already suffered insurmountable amounts of awful pain through sport.
Lebron will NOT come here, I'll bet on that. He does not want to re-live the previous FA fiasco.
However I just dont see him leaving Miami regardless. Why leave Miami for LA especially right now his a defending champion??

There are half-a-dozen ancient manuscripts which are the foundation of our understanding of the text of the New Testament writings. Among these stands the copy known since the sixteenth century as Codex Bezae Cantabrigiensis. Any manuscript which has survived from antiquity is a marvel for this reason alone, and as we explore its pages, we have a rare opportunity to explore a little of the written culture of late antique Christianity. Although in the past century some remarkable papyrus manuscripts have been recovered from the sands of Egypt, their discovery has in general served more to highlight the significance of the parchment manuscripts than to diminish it.

Among this group, Codex Bezae occupies a unique place for several reasons. In the first place, as a bilingual manuscript, with a Greek text and a Latin version on facing pages, it provides a valuable insight into the reception of the Gospels and Acts in the western Christian tradition. The Latin version it contains is one of the small handful of manuscripts which are the most important witnesses to the development of a Latin version before Jerome's famous Vulgate of 382. Secondly, it provides a strikingly different form of text to that preserved in almost every other manuscript, and to the printed Greek text and the translations derived from it. These differences consist in the Gospels in frequent harmonisation of the text and in Acts in a free restyling of the text found best represented by Codex Vaticanus and reproduced in English translations.

The manuscript is the work of a single scribe, one trained primarily to copy Latin texts. Its present contents are the Gospels of Matthew, John, Luke and Mark, a single page of the last verses of 3 John (in Latin only) and the Acts of the Apostles. The only book that is complete is the Gospel of Luke, since there are pages missing from all the others. It is possible that between Mark and 3 John the manuscript originally contained Revelation and the rest of the Epistles of John. The Gospels are in the so-called Western order, with the two who were apostles first, followed by the two who were companions of the apostles.

The manuscript is best dated to the end of the fourth or the beginning of the fifth century. Many places have been proposed for its place of origin, including southern France, Africa, Egypt and Palestine. I have proposed Berytus (Beirut). There were a number of correctors and annotators working in the first centuries of its existence. The first strong evidence for the manuscript's history is replacement leaves for missing portions of Matthew, John and Mark. The style of writing and the use of blue ink provide a very strong case that these pages were written in Lyons in the ninth century. At this period Lyons was an important centre for the dissemination of ancient works in the west.

It is probable that the Codex Bezae remained there, in the Monastery of St Irenaeus, until the sixteenth century. It was apparently taken over the Alps to the Council of Trent in 1546. Its textual significance was already recognised, since it was one of the manuscripts whose readings was cited in the first edition of the Greek New Testament to include such information, made by Robert Stephanus in Paris in 1550. Then after the sacking of Lyons in the religious wars it came into the hands of the Reformer Theodore de Bèze, Calvin's successor at Geneva. The first part of its name is derived from the Latin form of his name, Beza. In 1581, Beza presented the manuscript to Cambridge University. This is the origin of the second part of its name, Cantabrigiensis.

A printed transcription of the manuscript (using a font imitating the shape of the characters) was published by the University Press in 1793. A more accurate transcription, with the corrections and annotations fully detailed, was made by F.H. Scrivener and published by Deighton Bell in 1864. A facsimile edition was published by the University Press in 1899.

Of the many distinctive readings of the manuscript, the following deserve special mention:

It is the oldest manuscript to contain the story of the adulterous woman (John 7.53-8.11). It is on Folios 133v to 135.

The genealogy of Jesus in Luke's Gospel is arranged in reverse order so as to conform more closely with that in Matthew. It is on Folios 195v to 197.

There is a story about Jesus found in no other manuscript (the story of the man working on the Sabbath, placed after Luke 6.4). It is on Folios 205v and 206.

It is the oldest manuscript to contain the longer ending of Mark (16.9-20). The last pages of Mark are missing, so all that remains is the Greek text of verses 9-15. What follows is text supplied in the ninth century. It is on Folio 347v.

In Acts, when the angel delivers Peter from prison the detail is added that they go into the street down seven steps (Acts 12.10). It is on Folios 463v-464, eleven lines from the bottom of the page.

Wow Wee 2006 Robot Line is out.. CLICK HERE to check out my page about it, which will constantly be updated!
January 31 2006 - Well New Updates, I officially have the only WowWee V2 Repair Shop for now, where users can order bits of V2, or send in their V2 to be repaired, if something broke, and they warranty has expired or you have voided your warranty... more details can be found here
V2 Hacks, well Ive being working on interfacing my Bx-24 chip to the V2, and it has worked sucessful, now im adding the V2 tilt sensors and later the pots for the arms for precision movements... more info can be found here
I have being in touch with Mark Tilden and he has given me a few custom shematics, and some addition notes on the SPI interface and such, GoD I wish someone could hack this!!!!! just read below
RSV2 BasicX Program for HACKERS by Knitsu
Alas when we put the executable code on-board the vision DSP chip, it's fixed in mask ROM. This means we don't need to load in any additional software after manufacture, and the code and hardware was reduced on the new eyes to save costs. Â It means that you can no longer just hook into the USB port for power on the new RS2s. The transistors don't exist any more.
The function of the board is still the same in that the vision system only powers up after a "flinch" response, and only stays on so long as the camera is tracking something colorful. Â The eye is powered by the AAA "brain batteries", so it can't be left on all the time or the batteries would drain quickly.The enable trigger for the eye is the RSTNN input on the board, or pin 5 as shown above.....which activates when the robot does a reset from the master controller.A more reliable output from the software is controlled by the camera standby line on the connector to the camera as follows...When the camera is active either by software or by reset mode, this line goes high. Â Not enough to drive circuitry, but through a FET amplifier, it'll work fine.

My modified robot I would call RS-Media...... if it were actually one, but hey a pocket PC could do the job of a Robosapien V2 couldnt it?
January 08 2005 - Well lots of new News from Tilden and various E-Zine companies on the NET at the CES 2006 Show, in which Wow Wee has their name in again, displaying their new Robots, RS MEdia, P (Personal) Bot, and the Roboreptile... I have created a whole page dedicated to them, so if you want to read about them, just CLICK HERE.
Well Thomas Leopold has being working hard on V2 Camera Software to recognize objects, edges and a bunch of goodies, its still in early development, and you can test it out with USB Webcamera, but not the V2 webcamera in his head, as their is no driver's for that as of yetThomas says "At the moment, it 'normalizes' the picture brightness. Means: When it's dark, it increases the brightness. When it get brighter, increases the brightness less. So you always have an image with an average brightness of 128."However his program shows the original Webcamera view, and another window with the modified view, depending on what your doing with the software, it will look different. I have posted a few pictures of his Software, that he took for me, as I wasn't able to take proper pictures on my computer, but must say!!! this will most likely be the V2 program that all of us will want to download when it finally get released by Wow Wee or when a hacker, hacks the vision system
DOWNLOAD THE BETA VERSION OF THOMAS'S COLOR CAMERA SOFTWARE (PC WINDOWS) Compatible with ANY USB CAMERA, AND SOON TO BE V2 CAMERA BETA so BE WARNED....DOWNLOAD ===> http://evosapien.com/robosapien-hack/knitsu/Evo.exe
HERE IS THE LINK TO THOMAS VIDEO, WHICH SHOWS A MINI V2 BEING TRACED BY THE PROGRAM 3.78 WMV Movie CLICK HERE
HERE IS A VIDEO OF MY SOFTWARE, I COULDNT ENCODE IT GOOD ENOUGH SO I HAVE TO FIND A NEW WAY TO ENCODE IT, THIS MIGHT BE ADDED ONTO THOMASS Vision PROGRAM, so users can create their own Objects for their V2 to recognize, CLICK HERE (1.7 mb)
Here are some various Videos in which I have posted on forusm, but taken my slow butt time in taking them to this site, So I figured since im wroking hard on the site this evening, I should add all the work I have done :-) Check them out, their all videos of Roboisapien V2 and my otehr boths....

Being in the wilderness has a lot of perks - no traffic noise other than the occasional airplane landing and taking off, no telephones ringing, no computer screens calling your name, no neighbors mowing their lawns at 6:30 on a Saturday morning - you know - all the things that we dare to escape on vacation. However, believe it or not, there are a few downsides to the wilderness - cold water bathing, sleeping on the hard ground if you're on camp-out, keeping food away from the wildlife, and no hairdryers! I'm not one of the lucky that can wash their hair and let the wind blow it dry and look fabulous! And I wasn't about to risk my looks on my wedding day. I had arranged for Otis to run a long extension cord to the large generator in the horse barn so I could plug in a travel hairdryer and look my best for my wedding. It was touch and go - as soon as I turned on the hairdryer, I could hear it surge up and down, but it held on long enough to finish the job.
Mr. Squash and I finished dressing and walked over to the lodge to see if Otis and everyone else was ready. I walked in the door just to see Otis coming down from the loft in a clean pair of jeans, a starched clean shirt and blood all over the shirt collar! He was so nervous about his "preacher duties" that he had cut himself shaving and didn't even know it. Teresa, knowing Otis well, had packed an extra shirt for him, so we were all set.
The wedding party gathered and began the walk down to the river. Passing the horse barn, Zeb and Teresa told us all to go on ahead, they would catch up with us in a few minutes.
We got to the fence that separates the landing strip/pasture from the river. Otis held down the barbed wire so we could all easily climb over and we paused waiting for Zeb and Teresa to catch up. Mr. Squash and I were holding hands looking down river when I felt a tap on my shoulder, turned, and saw Zeb and Teresa holding the most gorgeous bouquet of wildflowers for me. I was stunned and couldn't imagine where they found them so quickly! I was speechless and so very happy that they would do this for me.
We all walked down to the spot we had picked out the day before while fishing. Bob and I stood flanked by Teresa and Don and Otis stood in front as our honored preacher. It wasn't until that moment that we noticed the piece of tissue still stuck to Otis' face where he had cut himself shaving. We politely said something to him, and the consensus was that he leave it there so there weren't any more mishaps during the ceremony. We had a good laugh and Otis began. "Dearly beloved".....he smacked his shirt pocket and what I can only describe next was the sound of a loud "whoopee cushion". Stunned silence, then uproarious laughter. What the......? Otis didn't want the ceremony to be a somber occasion – he wanted everyone smiling and laughing. In his own way, this was his solution to make everyone smile and laugh. Oh, boy we thought to ourselves, let's hope this is the worst of it. The ceremony proceeded without a hitch. Otis was a fantastic first-time preacher. He even pronounced us Husband and Wife. Then he told Mr. Squash to kiss his bride, all the while forgetting the Native American Blessing! We let him read it and a huge sigh of relief was felt all around.
The happy couple....
The Wedding Party...
Now if you think this is the end of our wilderness wedding story, you would be mistaken. There is lots more to tell. Stay tuned for Part 6…..

What is P.A.D.?
P.A.D. occurs when extra cholesterol and other fats circulating in the blood collect in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to your limbs. This buildupcalled plaquenarrows your arteries, often reducing or blocking the flow of blood.
P.A.D. is most commonly seen in the legs, but also can be present in the arteries that carry blood from your heart to your head, arms, kidneys and stomach. Nearly everyone who has P.A.Deven those who do not have leg symptomssuffers from an inability to walk as fast, or as far, as they could before P.A.D.
The illustration shows an artery with normal blood flow (Figure A) and an artery containing plaque buildup (Figure B).

SEOUL, Oct 26 (Reuters) - South Korea called off the launch of a space rocket on Friday after a glitch in the Russian-built booster halted preparations five hours before the scheduled lift-off.
It was South Korea's third attempt to put a satellite into orbit and comes after North Korea succeeded in launching a rocket in April that it said was carrying a satellite, only to abort the mission early in its flight.
Friday's failure also puts South Korea far behind economic rivals China, India and Japan.
South Korean officials at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) that is conducting the launch said Russian engineers had found a leak in the sealing while injecting helium gas into the first-stage booster.
The rocket will be taken off its launch pad and moved to a hangar to repair the faulty seal, which will require at least three days, the officials said.
"If the problem is serious, we may not be able to launch in the current window," KARI President Kim Seung-jo said. South Korea has set a launch window of Oct. 26 to 31. The officials indicated a new window may have to be set.
South Korea's second launch attempt in 2010 ended 137 seconds into flight when the rocket exploded before sending its payload into orbit. The first attempt in 2009 also failed when the rocket failed to release the payload.
South Korea's launch attempts have riled North Korea, which had been hit with U.N. sanctions for its rocket tests, which the reclusive state says are aimed at putting a satellite into orbit, but which critics say are tests for a ballistic missile programme aimed at delivering a nuclear payload.
North and South Korea remain technically at war after an armistice rather than a peace treaty ended the 1950-53 Korean War. (Reporting by Jack Kim; Editing by Robert Birsel)

I found the design from a coloring page, changed it a bit and traced it on the black stitching felt I had.
And it looked like this. I had used white graphite/carbon paper to trace and the paper had left a residue on the cloth.I did not like it. But I assumed once I start stitching things will fall in place.
Embroidery is something one needs to enjoy. It shouldn't look daunting,neither should it frustrate. When you embroider use the stitches you enjoy working with. I do not enjoy an overload of satin stitching- this I realized after wasting some precious hours setting up and stitching my white on black project. :(( So much for my satin stitch dreams!!
I do have one more "on black" project in my new year list.I think I'll put it off for a while. May be felt for stitching is not such a good idea. How about black cotton fabric ?Do you think it'll work out better than felt?
Love,luck and sunshine,

Find private schools, including independent, parochial, religious and non-religious affiliated charter schools, boarding schools, Christian schools, preparatory prep schools, and accredited private k-12, middle schools, and high schools. Private schools provide information on tuition, school rankings, school enrollment, education, curriculum, classes, records, and teacher-student ratios.
A Private School is a school that provides all or some portion of Kindergarten through 12th grade education, but they do not operate as part of a public school district. Private Schools are largely funded through tuition and student fees, though they may also be supported by grants and private contributions. Some Private Schools may receive a small amount of public funding, such as Department of Education grants for school building renovations. Private Schools have selective admissions and can choose who may enroll as a student. Public Schools, in contrast, are subject to compulsory education laws that require states to provide education to all children.
While each of the states impose regulations on Private Schools, they differ widely in their requirements. Some states require the licensing or registration of Private Schools, while others do not. Likewise, teacher certification in Private Schools may or may not be required depending on the state. States may also regulate the length of the school year, health and safety requirements, transportation, special education, reporting requirements, textbooks, or testing. Generally, Private Schools maintain substantial autonomy in establishing their own administrative systems, including personnel. Private Schools have the ability to hire and manage teachers and other school staff outside the confines of education bargaining units.
Religious Schools and Parochial Schools are Private Schools that incorporate religion into the curriculum. A Religious School may receive some funding from a religious institution, but the primary source of revenue comes from tuition. In a Parochial School, funding from a religious institution is the primary source of revenue.
Private Special Education Schools provide education to students with specialized learning needs. These schools are equipped and staffed to accommodate students on the autism spectrum or with brain injuries, severe anxiety, and other neurological issues.
Montessori Schools offer educational programming that emphasizes exploration and discovery experiences in the classroom. The classes are often structured to keep students and their teachers together for several years.
Other varieties of Private Schools include Boarding Schools, Language Immersion Schools, Waldorf Schools, and Military Schools.

Circuit Training Workout: Burn 30 Percent More Calories
Circuit training is a great boredom buster. It offers more cardio benefits, and it will help you burn 30 percent more calories. Sculpt every muscle and blast fat with this step-by-step workout.
Why We Love Circuit Training
Circuit training is a great boredom buster: Moving quickly from one exercise to the next means your mind doesn't have time to wander or tune out.
An all-strength circuit burns 30 percent more calories (about nine per minute!) than a typical weight workout and offers more cardio benefits.
A circuit that combines cardio and strength moves will blast fat and sculpt muscle. It can also burn up to 10 calories a minute.
How It Works
A circuit is a series of strength or cardio exercises (or both) repeated two or three times with little or no rest between sets. You'll need a watch with a second hand, the cardio equipment of your choice, plus a set of 3- to 5-pound dumbbells. Find the workout that suits your needs below.
Putting It All Together
The right circuit for your goal
Goal 1: Melt fat, firm muscles
Do the strength moves for one minute each in the order listed, alternating one minute of cardio that matches your fitness level between each strength exercise. Complete the circuit three times through.
270-360 calories; 36 minutes
Goal 2: Sculpt all over
Do the strength moves for one minute each in the order listed, moving from one to the next without resting. Complete the circuit four times through with no rest in between.
210 calories; 24 minutes
Goal 3: Bust boredom, blast calories
Do five minutes each of low-, medium-, and high-intensity cardio (give yourself 10 seconds at the end of each interval before moving to the next activity). Perform the circuit twice, switching activities the second time through. To modify for beginners, stick with the lower-intensity activities; more advanced exercisers can do all high-intensity moves.
170-330 calories; 30 minutes
Low Side-Step
Targets: Butt, Legs
- Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, arms at sides.
- Step right foot a stride's length to right side, then squat down, bending both knees and raising arms in front of chest.
- Stand up, moving left foot toward right foot, hip-distance apart, and lower arms.
- Continue side-stepping and squatting to right for 30 seconds, then side-step 30 seconds to left.
Kneeling Row
Targets: Back, Shoulders
- Hold weight in right hand and kneel on right knee with left leg in front, left knee bent 90 degrees, foot flat on floor.
- Lean forward from hips and extend right arm down, palm facing in (not shown).
- Place left hand on top of left thigh.
- Draw right elbow up toward ceiling, keeping arm close to right side.
- After 30 seconds, switch leg and arm positions and repeat.
Static Lunge with a Twist
Targets: Butt, Legs, Core
- Hold weight vertically in front of chest in both hands with elbows slightly bent, feet hip-distance apart.
- Lunge forward with right leg, bending right knee 90 degrees (not shown).
- Remain in lunge and twist to left.
- Hold briefly, then twist to center.
- Continue for 30 seconds.
- Switch sides and repeat.
TIP: After each cardio move, rest for no more than 10 seconds between activities.
Plank Lift
Targets: Core, Legs, Chest
- Begin facedown, balancing on elbows and toes with body in a straight line, abs tight.
- Keeping legs straight, lift hips toward ceiling, forming an inverted V. Lower to start position. Continue lifting and lowering hips for 30 seconds, then hold the straight plank position for 30 seconds.
TIP: Organize all of your gear (weights, timer, jump rope if necessary) beforehand so you can move quickly from one exercise to the next.
Hand Walks
Targets: Chest, Shoulders, Arms, Core
- Get into a full push-up position, abs tight, hands nearly touching.
- Keeping arms straight but elbows relaxed, walk right hand 1 to 3 inches to right, then walk left hand 1 to 3 inches to left.
- Bring right hand back to start, then left hand.
- Continue walking hands to complete the set.
Advanced option: Walk your hands over a step bench while remaining in full push-up position.
Runner's Squat
Targets: Butt, Legs, Shoulders
- Holding 3- to 5-pound dumbbells, stand tall with feet hip-width apart.
- Lift right heel behind you while bending elbows 90 degrees.
- Bend left knee into a squat, raising right arm forward and left arm back. (To make it easier, touch back toes to floor.)
- On the next rep, switch sides, lowering right leg.
- Continue alternating legs as if you're running in slow motion.
Cardio for Every Level
Low intensity, about 6 calories per minute
- Walk, or march in place (3.0-3.5 mph; 0 percent incline)
- Elliptical trainer (70-90 strides per minute; level 4-8)
- Cycle (70-90 revolutions per minute; level 2-4)
Medium intensity, about 9 calories per minute
- Walk (3.5-4.0 mph; 3-6 percent incline)
- Jog (4.5-6.0 mph; 0 percent incline)
- Climb up and down stairs at a moderate pace
High intensity, about 11 calories per minute
- Jog/run (5.5-7.0 mph; 1-3 percent incline)
- Elliptical (120-140 strides per minute; level 8-15)
- Jump rope (100-120 revolutions per minute)

Seems like the question is related to CPU utilization as well as compression ratios. Assuming the TIFF files are not already compressed, how fast would you expect 7-zip to be relative to bzip2 and gzip's compression and decompression speeds? I was looking for decent bandwidth, and I did look around a bit and it seemed like things often would compress somewhat better, often the bandwidth achieved was 5-6x worse. So for squeezing the most out of a 28k modem... sure. For keeping up with a 100mbit or GigE connection on a local LAN, not so much. Google finds: http://blogs.reucon.com/srt/2008/02/18/compression_gzip_vs_bzip2_vs_7_zip.html Compressor Size Ratio Compression Decompression gzip 89 MB 54 % 0m 13s 0m 05s bzip2 81 MB 49 % 1m 30s 0m 20s 7-zip 61 MB 37 % 1m 48s 0m 11s So sure you save 28MB, at the cost of 95 seconds. Might make sense if you are transfering over a slow modem. Also considering the original file was 163MB it's nowhere near the 6MB/sec that seems to be the target. At 1.5MB/sec you'd need 4 CPUs running flat out for 2 days to manage 2TB, instead of 1 CPU running for just 24 hours. Definitely the kind of thing that sounds like it might make a big difference. Another example: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=11670 7zip compress: 19:41 Bzip2 compress: 8:56 Gzip compress: 3:00 Again 7zip is a factor of 6 and change slower than gzip. > Linux distributions should include it default. > > Uses PPM, that's a new form of multidimensional compression that all > that old junk like > bzip2/gzip doesn't use. One man's junk and another man's gold. My use was backup related and I definitely didn't want to become CPU limited even on large systems with 10TB of disk and a healthy I/O system. From the sounds of it even with 8 fast cores that 7zip might easily be the bottleneck. > TIFF files compress real bad of course. Maybe convert them to some more > inefficient format, > which increases its size probably, which then compresses real great with > PPM. Er, that makes no sense to me. You aren't going to end up with a smaller file by encoding a file less efficiently.. under ideal circumstances you might get back to where you started with a substantial use of cycles. Seems pretty simple, if the TIFFs are compressed, just send them as is, significant additional compression is unlikely. If they are uncompressed there's a decent chance of significant lossless compression, the best thing to do would be to try it or at least a reference to some similar images.

In a fresh challenge for BP PLC's BP effort to clean up its act, up to 4,200 gallons of oil-containing fluids leaked from a BP pipeline during a pressure test at its Lisburne oil field in Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, according to reports over the weekend. The Anchorage Daily reported that local officials said the ground shook from the force of the line break. BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. estimated the spill size at 2,100 to 4,200 gallons of methanol and other fluids, including crude oil.
The incident follows a ruptured Exxon Mobil's XOM pipeline and spill into the Yellowstone River in Montanan on July 1. It's also less than a year since BP managed to cap its ruptured Macondo well in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in the largest maritime spill in U.S. history. BP took $48 billion in charges for costs tied to the Macondo spill last year. This past May, BP agreed to pay $85 million more in penalties in connection with a spill of 5,078 barrels of crude on the Alaskan North Slope in 2006.
If BP is trying to convince investors it's moving beyond its past mistakes, even a small spill in Alaska won't help. While accidents are sometimes unavoidable when you're handling volatile materials on a daily basis, the bad luck seems to strike more often at BP than other big oil players. You'd think that by now, their turn in the hot seat would be up, but they keep getting dragged back in.
