"ALL WE NEED ARE MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE PREOCCUPIED WITH THE IMPOSSIBLE" -Theodore Roethke.
*We believe art, parallel to love, is the supreme human expression.
*We believe creativity is an essential necessity, just like individual freedom is a basic condition to the permanence of civilized humanity.
*We believe progress of culture in general can only be secured by particular actions of creative individuals who are free to act, and therefore not restricted politically or institutionally. *We believe in no dividing lines between what is natural and what is human. *We believe in no fixed definitions: to question all things is natural and therefore true. Creativity is conditioned by fluctuations of all meanings, parallel to development of perception.
Therefore we bring Sugarfactory to life. Look! There it is! (But when we stare directly at it in order to describe it we realize we can comprehend it but its essence is elusive and therefore it escapes any verbal description. So we can only say what it is like)
It is like a MOVEMENT. CHANGE. DIFFERENCE
It is like an OPEN DOOR. PATH TO A HIGHER GROUND.
It is like an ONGOING CELEBRATION. An ART CARNIVAL. INDOOR STREET PARTY.
It is like a LABORATORY. TEST TUBE. TRIAL BY EXPERIMENT.
It is like ALCHEMIST¥S WORK. LEAD INTO GOLD.
It is like REFINING OF SOUL. ANIMA AND ANIMUS. THE SUBCONSCIOUS.
In 1929 André Breton wrote in the Surrealist Manifesto: ì
The mind which plunges into Surrealism relives with glowing excitement the best part of its childhood. For such a mind, it is similar to the certainty with which a person who is drowning reviews once more, in the space of less than a second, all the insurmountable moments of his life. . . . From childhood memories, and from a few others, there emanates a sentiment of being un-integrated, and then later of having gone astray, which I hold to be the most fertile that exists. It is perhaps childhood that comes closest to one's "real life". . . We say: the mind that plunges into Nachttheater Sugar Factory experiences destruction, decomposition, reconstruction, and finally rebirth of the real meaning of ìtheaterî. Our task is to assure that this (alchemical) process, comparable to Bretonís postulate, is equally thrilling and fertile.
theatre or theàtre [ th -t r ] n. (From an online dictionary)
1. A building, room, or outdoor structure for the presentation of plays, films, or other dramatic performances.
2. A room with tiers of seats used for lectures or demonstrations: an operating theatre at a medical school.
3. a. Dramatic literature or its performance; drama: the theatre of Shakespeare and Marlowe. b. The milieu of actors and playwrights.
4. a. The quality or effectiveness of a theatrical production: good theatre; awful theatre. b. Dramatic material or the use of such material: "His summation was a great piece of courtroom theatre" (Ron Rosenbaum).
5. The audience assembled for a dramatic performance.
6. A place that is the setting for dramatic events. 7. A large geographic area in which military operations are coordinated: the European theatre during World War II.
[Middle English theatre, from Old French, from Latin the trum, from Greek the tron, from the sthai, to watch, from the , a viewing.]
Word History: Theories about the development of the theatre in the West generally begin with Greek drama; this is etymologically appropriate as well as historically correct, since the words theory and theatre are related through their Greek sources. The Greek ancestor of theatre is the tron, "a place for seeing, especially for dramatic representation, theatre." The tron is derived from the verb the sthai, "to gaze at, contemplate, view as spectators, especially in the theatre," from the , "a viewing." The Greek ancestor of theory is the ri , which meant among other things "the sending of the roi (state ambassadors sent to consult oracles or attend games)," "the act of being a spectator at the theatre or games," "viewing," "contemplation by the mind," and "theory or speculation." The source of the ri is the ros, "an envoy sent to consult an oracle, spectator," a compound of the , "viewing," and -oros, "seeing." It is thus fitting to elaborate theories about culture while seeing a play in a theatre.
Theater of the absurd: a form of drama that emphasizes the absurdity of human existence by employing disjointed, repetitious, and meaningless dialogue, purposeless and confusing situations, and plots that lack realistic or logical development.
To stimulate integration and advancement within three main forms of cultural expression (theatre, art, music):
1. To attract progressive and innovative theatre-makers and to provide them with an unconstrained and thoroughly professional, theatrical environment
2. To present visual artists and their work in a multi-disciplinary setting and to communicate art in an environment other than gallery or museum
3. To support progress in music, to inspire the artist in a musician and to free music from commercialism and categorizing
4. To shape a public consisting of individuals who are creatively motivated, who like to be stimulated intellectually and who are responsive to beauty
To give rise to a progressive socio-cultural location where the above mentioned aims will materialize.

A day made for piddling around the house.
The boys are on a snow day. Late morning, Logan and I worked on his science fair project. It's about subliminal messages; he inserted messages into music (yel-low, yel-low, yel-low) and tried to influence folks' color choice. But it had no effect - nada - compared to his control group. But his display for the science fair looks great and is full of good info. We even added a subliminal message to the display - some of the stickers are small blue ribbons that say "First Place." There's a sign at the end that asks, "Did you see the subliminal messages in this display?" Tim was the first one who looked at it and he didn't notice the blue ribbons at all. We were happy. We put them there so they stuck out like fireworks to us. (We hope the judges have a sense of humor.)
Logan with his Science Fair Project
Before the boys got up, my morning went like this:
9:00 ish - Roll out and get started piddling. Mornings are the best piddling time.
9:02 ish - Let Trixie out. She and I are morning bums.
9:03 ish - Let Trixie in. She does not do inclement weather. Fastest pottier in the land.
9:05 - clean the litter box.
9:10 - feed the critters - Trixie and the five cats.
9:12 - fold clothes in dryer. Move clothes from washer to dryer. Start 'nother load of laundry.
9:20 - check e-mail and respond as needed. This morning it was to a bag customer, setting up a meeting for next Wednesday. We will be showing him a mock-up of a new bag.
Also made morning calls to the Bag Co., my faithful employer. I always talk to Tom. I should admit that I'm a sales rep., for said Bag Co. I have these customers, see, mostly feed mills, and they need bags, lots of bags, for horse feed and cattle feed and sheep feed etc. So they call me. And I put their orders in, and I call Tom a dozen times a day and say, Hey, how about that order for so and so....he checks into it, calls me back, then I call them back -"Yeah, Charlie, those horse bags should deliver by Friday."
In between all these calls, I piddle.
I have to get those calls out of the way so that by 10 a.m. I am ready to start in on cleaning the kitchen. The kitchen needs cleaned at 10 a.m. because that is the time that the Diane Rehm show is on my local NPR station. Diane Rehm is my idol. Oh that I could be so wise as her. Her show is my Adult Current Events Education. You can check out the show at www.npr.org.
Sometime in between the laundry and Diane Rehm, I fixed myself oatmeal for breakfast. I had heavy cream in the fridge and it was calling my name. The stuff is addictive. Plus it was snowing/sleeting/raining. Cold and icy outside, warm and cozy inside. So it was an oatmeal morning. Oatmeal needs to be the old-fashioned kind. This is what it says right on the round box - "Old-fashioned". What this means is that the oats have not been ground up into little pieces. They are oats, like what a horse eats. And they don't take any longer to cook than the ground up "quick" oats. And they are so much more satisfying (in cookies, too).
Old-fashioned Oatmeal
Take a micro-wave safe bowl, put in about 3/4 cup water (for one serving). Put in microwave for about two minutes until it begins to boil. Use hot pads to remove bowl from microwave to counter. Pour in oats a bit at a time until the water is almost full of oats (they will expand a little to soak up the rest of the water). Loosely cover bowl and place back in microwave for 20 to 30 seconds. Remove, stir. Add in, to taste, some brown sugar, a dab of vanilla, a generous sprinkle of cinnamon, and if you happen to have it on hand, pour in several glugs of heavy whipping cream. (Or half-&-half or milk.) Stir all, adjust to taste.
It's even better eaten standing at a window of a warm, cozy house watching it snow and blow outside, with a Trixie at your feet.
The lovely Miss Trixie

Last year was a big one for Michael Davis.
The incoming senior used his speed to put together standout years for Glendale High on the track and football field.
Most recently, Davis finished off an incredible season for the Nitros track and field program by becoming the first Glendale High athlete to qualify for the CIF State Championships since 1986. He went on to take seventh in the 200-meter at the State Meet in 21.82 seconds.
It was Davis' breakaway speed on the football field that earned him first-team All-Pacific League and second-team All-Area honors and a NCAA Division I scholarship offer from Brigham Young, which he accepted on July 27.
"It doesn't happen that often [at Glendale] and it showed people they have a chance to," said Glendale offensive lineman and defensive tackle Patrick Novshadian of the impact Davis had on his school by signing a Division I football scholarship.

Right, 'Sulawng' was probably kicking around for a bit before it entered the world of the print under the two-word english spelling that we know today. It popped up in the 1860 version of a poetry book by Walt Whitman called 'leaves of grass'.
When Whitman's friend and fan William Sloane Kennedy, wrote about it much later in 1923 this was what he had to say:
The salutation of parting—'So long!'—was, I believe, until recent years, unintelligible to the majority of persons in America, especially in the interior, and to members of the middle and professional classes. I had never heard of it until I read it in Leaves of Grass, but since then have quite often heard it used by the laboring class and other classes in New England cities. Walt wrote to me, defining 'so long' thus:
|"A salutation of departure, greatly used among sailors, sports, & prostitutes—the sense of it is 'Till we meet again,'— conveying an inference that somehow they will doubtless so meet, sooner or later."
|... It is evidently about equivalent to our 'See you later.' The phrase is reported as used by farm laborers near Banff, Scotland. In Canada it is frequently heard; 'and its use is not entirely confined to the vulgar.' It is in common use among the working classes of Liverpool and among sailors at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and in Dorsetshire. ... The London Globe suggests that the expression is derived from the Norwegian 'Saa laenge,' a common form of 'farewell,' au revoir. If so, the phrase was picked up from the Norwegians in America, where 'So long' first was heard. The expression is now (1923) often used by the literary and artistic classes.
So clearly, although Norwegian looks like a strong candidate there was no agreement on the origin of the phrase even that far back. It's interesting that Mr Kennedy seemed to believe that it originated simultaneously on the coasts of America and in industrial towns such as liverpool, as well as Scotland and Canada in other words places with large irish immigrant irish populations (Whitman's poem was penned only about 20 years after the potato famine) or places with an influence of scots gaelic (which is basically the exact same language as Irish anyway).
Right, "sulawng" continues to have an obscure origin as none of the theories postulated stand up to any scrutiny for any length of time, I'm gonna fast-forward to 2005 and the publication of this article which sums things up as follows:
So long –
The OED (s.v. long) vaguely writes in brackets: "Cf. G. so lange."
Mencken's information (1919/1963: 192 & 258) is a little contradictory: at first he categorizes So long as a Germanism, later in the book he classifies it as "of English origin" (or does he want to say that the term is of German descent, but that it came to America via England?).
According to Terasawa (s.v. long) we would have to postulate an imagined starting-form *(it will seem) so long (until we meet again). Under the entry so long itself this hypothesis is preceded by a question mark, and the hypotheses of a German origin (So lange 'so long') and an Arabic origin (salấm 'peace') are also given.
Also in Weekley (s.v. so long) we find the hypothesis: "? Corrupt. of salaam."
The German origin is also offered as one possible explanation for the expression with "origin unknown" by Chapman (s.v. so long); in addition, Chapman writes: "perhaps fr[om] Hebrew shalom and related Arabic salaam, both greetings meaning 'peace'; perhaps fr Irish slan 'health,' used as a toast and a salutation" .
You can see why it's still bottom of the list cant you? First of all "slawn" it's spelt like an English word, as "slanne" and second of all he's taken it for the literal meaning, 'health'* instead of the way it's actually used as 'goodbye' - but wait, there's more:
although a more accurate translation is 'safe','health is 'Sláinte' which is used as a toast or salutation
He then quotes William Sloane Kennedy (in full above) and sets about figuring it out once and for all.
|I first consulted Fraser and Gibbon's dictionary on sailor slang (1925); but the phrase wasn't listed there. But if it is true that the term originates in sailor slang (and from there was first spread among other social groups in contact with them, e.g. soldiers and prostitutes), then we can give the following comments on the various suggestions.
Although the German hypothesis is formally possible, it must be underscored that
there is no hint that a German leave-taking expression So lange ever existed (cf.,61e.g., DW).
A Hebrew (or Yiddish) origin seems unlikely for a sailor term.
The Arabic hypothesis seems possible for a sailor term.
However, it has to be underlined that Salaam is used both as a greeting and a leave-taking term, while So long is only used as a leave-taking term.
The Norwegian hypothesis seems also possible for a sailor term.
And indeed, in Norwegian leave-taking phrases such Adjø så lenge! Farvel så lenge! Mor'n så lenge!,
literally 'Bye so long! Farewell so long! Morning so long!',
the iconeme being something like
"farewell for the (long) time being until we meet again".
The first part was clipped and the second represents a loan translation.
So in conclusion, the Norwegian origin,
though not included in the modern etymological dictionaries,
can be regarded as the most probable etymology
And that's where it stands, all perfectly logical on paper, and when the poor eejit has no knowledge of either the pronunciation or the use of 'Slawn', you can see how he opts for the Norwegian hypothesis as the most likely.
With a correct understanding of 'slawn' in the irish sense, I believe it makes a far more compelling candidate because unlike Adjø så lenge! Farvel så lenge! and Mor'n så lenge! 'slawn' needs no clipping: it is used as an extant and complete phrase for farewell.
Yes, it doesn't look half as good as 'så lenge' does on paper,( also two words, only the vowels are different) but here's the thing: Sailors, prostitutes and the immigrant underclass of the nineteenth century didn't communicate with paper quite as often as they did with sounds.
"Slawn" (as pronounced by an american which is the way Whitman would've heard it ) does sound almost exactly like an american saying "Suhlong"; neither of them sound remotely like "Zuhlengya".
listen to it on google translate and make up your own mind
Or try singing this:
Auf wiedersehen.
Good bye.
Nowhere near as good a match is it?

Who was the greatest third-round NFL draft pick ever?
MLB Ray Nitschke. Selected by Green Bay in 1958, Nitschke became the toothless face of a Packers defense that would send six players to Canton and help Green Bay win five NFL titles in a span of seven years (1961-67). Green Bay allowed the fewest points in the league in 1962, 1965 and 1966 and the fewest yards in both 1964 and 1967. Nitschke was named to both the 1960s NFL all-decade team and the 75th anniversary team. He was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1978.
OT Art Shell. Selected by Oakland in 1968, Shell stepped into the starting lineup in 1970 and stayed there for 13 seasons, teaming with guard and fellow Hall of Famer Gene Upshaw to give the Raiders one of the most formidable left sides of an offensive line ever assembled. Shell was voted to eight Pro Bowls, won two Super Bowl rings and was named to the 1970s NFL all-decade team. Shell also became the first African-American head coach in the NFL (Raiders) in the game's modern era.
CB Mel Blount. Selected by Pittsburgh in 1970, Blount became the NFL's prototype for the big cornerback (6-3, 205 pounds). He mauled wide receivers in the era of the bump-and-run, intercepting 57 career passes. Blount went to five Pro Bowls and started on four Super Bowl championship teams on his way to NFL all-decade acclaim in the 1970s. He started 200 career games and also recovered 13 fumbles. He was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1989.
QB Joe Montana. Selected by San Francisco in 1979, Montana quarterbacked the 49ers to four Super Bowl victories and was named the MVP in three of them. He engineered 92 career fourth-quarter game-winning drives, including a 92-yard march over the final three minutes for the deciding touchdown in a 20-16 victory over Cincinnati. Montana won two NFL MVP awards, two passing titles and was named to both the 1980s and 75th anniversary teams. He was enshrined in Canton in 2000.
WR Terrell Owens. Selected by San Francisco in 1996, Owens caught 153 career touchdown passes to rank third all-time behind former teammate Jerry Rice (197) and Randy Moss (156). Owens also ranks second all-time in receiving yardage (15,934) and sixth in catches (1,078). He played 15 seasons with five teams and was selected to six Pro Bowls. He hit double-digits in touchdowns in eight seasons and was selected to the 2000s NFL all-decade team. He is eligible for Canton in 2016.

Ripley's 'Believe it or not' called it "New York's Mt. Rushmore." Pratt Rock Park, by the side of Route 23 outside of Prattsville is cloaked in legend. Pratt Rock Park is open to the public every day. The climb to the rocks is steep, and may be unfit for young children, but the path is clear and ascents a series of gently graded inclines to the carved cliff wall 500 feet above the road. The sculptures and the view of the valley make the short climb more than worth the effort.

AnonD-124721, 03 Jan 2014Farewell. My last Nokia Symbian phone was the 808. Clunky device and UI was jittery and laggy ... moreU re a sincere person, symbian was good in fact very good but it passed it's glory days and Nokia didn't act fast enough. No doubt, the competition got better.
diwas, 03 Jan 2014people say symbian is not good,but they forget that it is mother of all os.u have to notice th... moreexcellent man...
AnonD-324, 02 Jan 2014Ok cool, so we still have Asha phones.
Thatz good..
But we would miss N8 and other Nokia... morereally? Steve jobs was using a Nokia N8?
thanks for the info. i love Symbian
AnonD-324, 02 Jan 2014You are wrong MR.anoniem. Cant you read or are you blind. Symbian has come to an end. ... moreasha platform is based on s40.it cannot be compared to Symbian which was once the BEST SMARTPHONE OS.asha sw platform is very basic.no multitasking, no "good" apps or games, and poor support for video playback etc(unlike smartphones).
this journey has came to an end after all this years of playing apps atc. I have an 808 but I'll swich to 1020
dudulzs, 03 Jan 2014farewell symbian... and goodbye nokia, i will not use nokia phone anymore as long as micros... morewhy
Farewell Nokia.....Wont be using Nokia again as long as microsoft own them....Goodbye
I used to be a Die Hard Nokia Phone user. Classic H/Ps like the E71 and X7 are some of the good Phones Nokia made, but not anymore. This shows when a Company like Nokia became No. 1 and then neglect their R&D, Marketing strategy, Design etc contended with what they are, the whole situation turn around faster than a bullet. They go down the ladder just like that. It is almost impossible to beat SAMSUNG now. Nokia you deserve it.
What n end 4 symbian... I will nvr forgt my old nokia n72 n nokia n95 8gb. I luv u nokia.
3 weeks ago my weather widget stopped to work on my N808 Pureview. Shame on this company. It is 15 months I bought this excellent phone. Promise was to keep Symbian updated and alive till 2016. Microsoft and its slave Nokia will do it again to each of you buying phone from them.
So MS killed Symbian, MeeGo and Nokia ? Now it will be only be part of a larger corporation who dont care what people say, like changing Xbox One policies like Windows 8 ? Maybe Nokia overslept but they can make phones with Widnows Phone and Adnroid like LG, Samsung and calmly worked on MeeGo. But it would be a horror for M$ so they ruined them, Nokia lose 2 years, dont have product to sell, Symbian - close down, MeeGo - close down, Android - Elop say No!, so...when they start selling a little more phones with WP MS make offer...when the stock price was significantly less than Elop start his mission. Nokia had everything, good phones, able to put everything inside like others (MediaTek or Qualcomm), best camera, maps, own shop, Intel as co-developer with MeeGo, Qt, free to Nokia (MS give some money Nokia, but Nokia pay MS fo license). In 2010, still 2011 MS have no chance even with MeeGo http://oi39.tinypic.com/nwixdh.jpg so they must take Nokia down...but why people from Nokia allowed to that ? Even in 2011 they can make phones with Windows Phone and Android ( and rebuild the position, even smaller companies can), so why they sell soul to the devil ?
I don't have anything to say
just Im very sad :(
I loved my old nokia phone with Symbian
N73 , N82 , E66 , N8 , and now the king 808
goodbye Symbian 3rd and ^3 and belle
and never forget you .......... :-(
people say symbian is not good,but they forget that it is mother of all os.u have to notice that before ios and android symbian is first os that teach ios and android how to make manu look good.by the way,in ios and android it is difficut to install from third party whereas you can get lots of apps games.i can buy apps thrugh my sim balanc but ios and android i need creadit card.i think nokia should bring symbian os with quad core processor and 2gb ram then user can feel the diffrence.currently i use e72 and note2 but u know e72 beats note 2 as battery backup.
farewell symbian...
and goodbye nokia, i will not use nokia phone anymore as long as microsoft owned nokia...
Goodbye Symbian.
You was a good friend.
You was one of my best friends in technology.
You are always the BEST and the FIRST in mobile world.
Goodbye MAN.
Goodbye MY FRIEND.
Farewell Symbian, the greatest smartphones I had run this OS. My first S60 was a Nokia 6682, then 5700 XM, E63, E5 and a C6-01 which I had until late 2012. Damn... I even kept the E5 as a backup phone and I can't enjoy the same build quality or typing speed in my Galaxy S3. Even if I jumped to Android bandwagon a while ago I still don't feel as satisfied as when I was using Symbian. Let's see what's the next OS for me
Bye bye buddy, It's all because of symbian where I stand as an android developer right now.
It's really hard for me to even hear this,
Android might have stole one as a developer due to it's openess, but only u n Nokia stole me from inside...
Loved Nokia but now I don't know at to say...
I'm not asking Nokia to get over with Android or even leave WP but live on your own not under some crap or even bring your own os like you did in oast combine symbian looks and meego's openness may be u might steal one heck of ur fans back ofcourse me...
Nokia, live like a tiger for just 3days rather than living like a rat for 100 days...
I love Nokia not Microsoft owened Mokia bcz it was such a setup by MS n S.Elop.....
Once again farewell Symbian and Meego and love u forever I'll always remember u as 1 of the greatest OS at certain times...
Best regards
-X Nokia fan

Vienna is a joy to explore. With its many shops and galleries, various museums and multiple music venues, the list of things to do is endless. Spending 48 hours in Vienna is the bare minimum to get a glimpse of this wonderful city.
However, if that is all you got, here are are our Vienna travel tips to spend your time as efficient as possible!
The basics
- Currency: Euro (EUR)
- Language: German
- Airport: Vienna International Airport (train connection straight to city centre)
- Weather: Beware of cold weather between December and March. Optimal mild and sunny weather around May/June or in September.
Day 1
Hofburg Palace
The famous Hofburg Palace is a must-see location and a great way to start the day. This former winter home of the Habsburg court is located in the centre of Vienna and houses three fascinating museums. The Imperial Apartments, the Sisi Museum and the Imperial Silver Collection provide great insights into the daily life at the imperial court.
Museums aside, it is also home to the prestigious Spanish Riding School. The traditions on how to train and master the Lipizzaner stallions have been passed on by word of mouth for over 450 years! A morning training is scheduled almost every day and however tickets cannot be reserved, we found no issues getting in when showing up as early as the training begins.
Albertina Museum
You probably need an entire day to cover the complete art collection of the Albertina Museum. Not much of a surprise when you know that this is one of the largest and most prestigious art collections in the world!
The Albertina displays masterpieces from Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Duerer, Rembrandt and many others. A recommended visit for everybody with even the smallest interest in graphic art!
If you're not into the art-thingy, just walk around the Albertina Museum and you'll find the former royal garden for the Habsburg family. A Mozart memorial, a butterfly house and the majestic Neue Burg building dominate the sights.
This green spot in the middle of the city is a popular spot for office workers to escape their crowded desk but is equally suitable for travellers looking for a little respite!
Vienna State Opera House
We happen to keep on stumbling upon opera houses in the past months! After Paris and Milan, the Wiener Staatsoper was next! Opened in 1869 and being one of the world's leading opera houses, its stage has seen many great musicians. However the initial opera house got destroyed during the Second World War, the reconstructed building is impressive by itself!
Unmistakenly called Vienna's most beautiful church by many locals, this is a spot not to pass on. The impressive Karlskirche was built to impress and its unique appearance makes that very clear. With its Roman and Greek influences, you could easily mistake yourself for being in Southern Europe!
When visiting Vienna in November or December, the square in front of the church has a very enjoyable Christmas market! Cozy little stalls and a hay-covered floor included!
Belvedere Palace
The historic complex of Belvedere is another cultural highlight you want to see with your own eyes. I'm still not sure what I like most: its impressive Baroque construction or the beautiful park that surrounds it. Regardless, it's a wonderful place to walk around.
The palace itself is now an art museum, housing one of the largest collections of paintings by Gustav Klimt. Though impressive, walking around the gardens is probably what romantic souls enjoy most!
Day 2
Schönbrunn Palace
Located just outside Vienna but easily reachable by metro lies another historical gem. Built to compete with the palace in Versailles, the impressive Schönbrunn Palace is yet another 18th-century masterpiece. Having served as a former hunting residence and later as the residence of Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions, it's 1.441 rooms hold a lot of history.
However only 40 of those rooms are open to the public, a visit is still worthwhile. Particularly interesting are the stories and anecdotes about the Austrian emperors that throw you back in time as you make your way to the historic quarters.
If the weather is with you (so nothing like the pouring rain I made the above picture in), make some time to walk the palace's spectacular gardens. Over 500 acres of greenspace awaits you, with numerous pathways leading to the many flowerbeds, sculptures, the huge Neptune's fountain or the impressive Palm House.
Vienna has many cultural highlights, but the area around the Museumsquartier is a hotspot for art or history aficionados. If you don't belong to that group, we can highly recommend the beautiful Natural History Museum.
Forget the boring displays and dusty maquettes, this museum is all about providing an informative overview of mother nature's best work! Minerals, prehistoric species, dinosaur bones and high-quality taxidermy on animals from all over the world summarizes an impressive collection.
On top of that, the well-preserved building with its many ornate marble archways, glorious ceilings and original wooden displays set a unique scene that compliments the entire experience.
Enough of all that history? Fortunately, shops and galleries are just as present as museums and music venues! The area around the Kärntner Strasse gives various shopping opportunities that suit everybody's wallet. From high-street stores to glamorous designer brands, Vienna has something for everybody's style and taste!
All our Vienna travel tips gathered on the map:
What we liked
- Culture and history in Vienna are all around. Whether you around the many historical buildings or visit one of its many museums, Vienna enriches you in many ways.
- We loved the kind and friendly attitude along the Austrians we met. Such nice people!
What we disliked

In October, the entertainment world experienced the downfall of movie mogul Harvey Weinstein over accusations of sexual harassment and rape of actresses. Weinstein assaulted and harassed women for decades, while his beastly acts went unnoticed, until a few weeks ago when he was exposed.
Fifty women have since come forward to accuse him, and he was fired from his own company, lost his wife and all those friends that felt important being close to him. The Hash tag #MeToo is trending on Twitter and women world over are testifying about the number of times they have been assaulted, small and big.
But then, a single dad somewhere in Uganda wants his 13-year-old daughter to be humble before men. He cried out on one Facebook group, saying his daughter is such a bully, is tough, and is always fighting boys at school.
He wrote: "Last week, a young boy wrote a love note proposing a relationship to my daughter's friend, and my daughter advised her friend to go and fight the hell out of that boy. What can I do to make my daughter humble in front of boys and men?"
It is a crazy world, isn't it? I mean, this father should be very proud that his daughter is able to speak up for herself and her friends. In my opinion, when your little girl is aggressive, clap your hands! Many girls, and even mature women, are suffering in silence. It is those little things that build up into big issues and later disasters.
Who knew that Weinstein would one day be fired from his own company? And who knew that all these women were suffering in silence?
I was a violent child, during my primary school days. I abused boda boda men for calling my names as I walked home. I shouted at any man who tried to look at me. As for those little boys in my class who tried to write me love notes, we exchanged blows. Yes, I have always stood up for myself.
Sadly, though, I was a pretty girl, so men dissed me for ruining my beauty with anger. I never stopped being angry, and here I am! The violent angry girl that conquered monsters, no man can intimidate me.
Nowadays, the men that bump into me on the streets or in the workplace, thinking they can intimidate me are in for a shocker.

The messenger hawk is only odd because it wears a band of Turn-russet around one leg. I'm more used to seeing Carvel-green, or, if Mum can scrape together enough to cover the expense of a hawk and the emergency is dire enough, Dom-amethyst.
It lands first on a branch close to Kintyre's head, overhanging the stream where Kin is grumpily scrubbing our travel pots out with sand. As he always does, Kin ignores the ruddy thing. The hawk chirrups in disdain and hops down to the ground. It bobbles over to me like a grouchy pigeon, sidestepping the still smoking ashes of my morning cookfire. I was in the middle of packing away our leftovers, so I've got some jerky in my hand. I offer it up, and the hawk snips at it daintily, careful of my fingers. The beast is probably the politest of the three of us. Kin and I don't work too hard on our table manners when we're out-of-doors.
"Never know why you lot always go to Kin first," I say, wiping jerky grease on my trousers and then shaking a finger at the hawk. "I'm the one that feeds ya."
As a kind of answer, the hawk fluffs up in the sunlight, resettling its feathers after what has probably been a long flight. I've always liked how sleek the creatures are, how deadly, and at the same time, how much they look like a curious cuddle toy. The hawk lets me scritch along the crest between its eyes, crooning. I smooth back the small plume of white that marks this bird as a messenger, as one of the breed clever enough to recognize different human faces and follow simple verbal commands. Dead useful things, these birds.
Appeased, the hawk lifts its foot and I untie its burden. Covering a yawn—didn't sleep so well last night—I wonder if there's enough heat in the embers of our fire to kick it back up and boil another kettle of tea. It's not like Kin and I have anywhere else to be, and the thought of a long, lazy morning fishing and napping is suddenly delicious. Yeah. Could do lots with a day of nothing.
I'm also missing the warmth of the last lassie we left behind, if I'm honest about it. And that of her father's hayloft as well. But we're one day's walk from Estagonnish, and there's no bloody inns between here and the next sprout of farms. Just sparse forest interspersed with wildflower meadows, and the curving sweep of a balls-cold stream.
Good for catching rabbit and eel. Bad for a good night's rest. And after all the adventures we've been on—and enemies we've made—I'm not too keen on sleeping out in the open. Or, really, anywhere that's lacking a roof and walls, a door that can be boobytrapped, and a window that makes noise when it's broken. Sleeping out under the stars sounds heroic when I write that sort of drivel, but in reality, it fills me with wary paranoia. And it's bloody chilly to boot. 'Cause unless there's a pair of tits between us, Kintyre's not too keen on sharing body heat.
Shame, that.
Of course, this bone-weariness knifing through me doesn't just stem from bad sleep. Not even really from our most recent quest, or from the bloody great sword-fight it took to vanquish the Dark Elf. No. It's from the many, many houses filled with so many grieving people.
I am wrung out from comforting so many husbands and wives, parents, children, and lovers while returning the jars of eyes stolen and collected by the Elf. Their grief is like a greasy smear against my skin. I feel a hundred years old, pulled loose and weak by the weight of it.
Sadness always makes me absolutely bagged.
I yawn again and try to cover my mouth, then wince, juggling the hawk's note into my off hand. Writer's nutsack, that aches. In my morning haze, I forgot that I wrenched my wrist in the fight. I'm going to have to rewrap it soon. Or maybe I should go shove my arm into the stream for a bit, see if the cold won't do some of its own magic on the swelling.
For seventeen years, Bevel Dom has been the author of his own story. Or, rather, he's been the author of The Tales of Kintyre Turn, the illustrated scrolls chronicling his adventures as first the squire, then the colleague, and then finally the frie...

Big ups to the guys over at The Redbull Studio in Cape Town who will be introducing an initative that should have been done a while ago. Basically Tokyo is holding the World Redbull Music Academy and are bringing it to life for all aspiring musicians, beat-makers, dance-floor movers, prodigious producers and soulful singers who are wanting to take their skills to the next level. There will be 3 free workshops which will be held throughout South Africa, with one of the hosts being South Africa's very own Redbull Music Academy alumni member Black Coffee.
For music makers keen to apply for the Academy* – taking place in Tokyo from October 23 to November 4, and November 13 to November 25, 2011 – the workshops will be held in
Cape Town (Chrome) – Wednesday, March 23 @ 19h30
Johannesburg (The Bank) – Thursday, March 24 @ 19h30
Durban (Max Lifestyle) – Sunday, March 27 @ 10h30
More Info:
"Intimate, interactive and informative, the workshops are rare opportunities to meet alumni of the Red Bull Music Academy experience, and receive advice and tips on the comprehensive application process to attend the Academy. Part of similar workshops in over 50 countries worldwide, they will be followed by after-dark performances by South African alumni of the Academy, with Black Coffee as the headline DJ.
"The workshops in SA will be a taste of what it's like to attend the Academy," says Black Coffee, Red Bull Music Academy alumnus. "If you're serious about getting picked, find the time to check one out. For anyone who wants to take their music career to the next level, the Academy offers the chance to work with some ridiculously talented people and learn more than you can imagine about producing and performing music."
Those interested in attending any of these events should visit:"http://www.redbullstudio.co.za" www.redbullstudio.co.za or the Red Bull Bot on MXit for more details about locations and times.
International success stories from SA
Only a handful of South Africans have benefited from the learning and collaboration offered by the Academy. Some of the more notable ones include:
Black Coffee – he now spends as much time touring the world as he does DJing back at home. One of his most legendary gigs was in the Red Bull Music Academy Lounge at Sonar in 2007, where he played the closing set as the sun went down and the revelry of the festival reached its peak.
Culoe De Song – At only 17 years of age, he was chosen to attend the Red Bull Music Academy in Barcelona in 2008. During the Academy his career was kicked into high-gear after two of his tracks were picked up by Innervisions, one of the most influential house and techno labels. Hitting big overseas before being 'discovered' in SA, Culoe De Song regularly releases music for Black Coffee's Soulistic label, along with other labels; fast catching up to his mentor.
Richard the Third – since attending the Academy in 2004, he has thrived as a prolific producer of Dubstep. Now a regular DJ at some of the country's best clubs, Richard is part of the DJ duo Biscope (with his brother Twelv), has toured the USA, Europe and South America; and more recently produced Spoek Mathambo's successful debut album, as well as joining the red-hot Mshin Wam troupe.
Jullian Gomes (g.family) – another example of the calibre of talent emerging from Red Bull Music Academy, he has been asked to perform at the Sonar festival in Barcelona this June.
I suggest you go on and get involved if you think you have what it takes or even if you are interested to go and take a look – the workshops are free and they are being run by one of South Africa's most talented producers. I am going to check this out for sure! Either way, you will be hanging out with some of the heavy weights in the South African electronic music industry.
Thats enough to get me there!
***Applicants must be at least 20-years-old to apply – the legal drinking age in Japan – having been born on or before October 22, 1991**

BATD ON Oct 03, 2013 AT 10:52 am
Beauty and the Dirt were invited by Always Infinity to the London Dance Academy to try their AntiGravity yoga class. They are the only studio in London offering the class which is what they call a 'fusion technique', a bridge between fitness and traditional yoga methods. It is the latest fitness trend to hit the UK and was created by Christopher Harrison the man who co-founded dance troup Cirque du Soleil. It is a series of movements on a hammock which is said to improve your blood flow, stretch out your spine and refresh your body systems.
The bright blue hammocks we were faced with in the studio was a slightly alarming sight but I did indeed find myself hanging upside down with pretty much just my hips supporting me on this hammock, a great experience, proving your body can do amazing things if you just try. Always Infinity wanted us to try this class to show how comfortable we can be in our bodies whatever we happen to be doing whilst wearing their new revolutionary pad.
It's one of those things we don't like to talk about let's face it. We keep it to ourselves, that monthly call of nature that we all want to keep as discreet as possible. Thankfully we have more options today than our Mothers when they experienced it as young women.
As I think most women will agree Always already have a product range we can trust but behind the scenes they have been researching and experimenting in order to release a revolutionary new pad to give us even more comfort and freedom. It is the most exciting Always innovation to hit the market for over 20 years. The Always Infinity product is the only pad of it's kind in that it is made from a liquid foam to absorb liquid as opposed to fibres which most regular pads contain.
This means we have ultimate comfort and confidence at a time of the month we all dread. It makes a massive difference in terms of worrying about wearing too clingy clothes when wearing an Always Infinity pad. The new foam innovation means it just moulds to your body (like a memory foam pillow) so you barely feel it. Whether you are running around town, working out, or chilling out it works with your body's movements and it goes back to it's original shape with almost no bunching.
You can find out more at Always-info.co.uk. We'd love you to try the Always Infinity products too and so we have one pack to giveaway. To win simply answer the question below:
Who created Anti Gravity yoga?

Pro Tip: Don't Get Into a Spaceship with a Madman
Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS
It has only taken me about 3o or so episodes, but I have just now discovered a very important fact. If you watch an episode enough times, no matter what your feelings about it in the beginning, you will, eventually get to a number that transforms it for you and makes you fall in love with it, makes you see all the things it had been trying so very hard to convey to you.
For example, The 11th Hour and Vincent and the Doctor I loved from the very beginning. The Doctor's Wife and The Girl Who Waited took a second viewing for me to see just how heartbreaking and perfect they were. And for Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS? Well, turns out, the magic number for that one was FOUR. Yes, I watched this episode four times and now, FINALLY, I can declare that I sort of love it a lot.
I'm not sure if this would hold true for other Doctors, I don't know if you have to love the Doctor special, but I imagine so. I mean, how many times would you sit through something that did absolutely nothing for you? I can't think of anything else I would, but for Squishy-Face? With him, there is usually something, no matter how little or meaningless to others that gets me right in the feels, or gets me saying, "That is BRILLIANT!" at least once. For this episode it was a number of things that got me intrigued enough to continue watching, there was the mystery of Clara and who she is/was/will be, and then there was the whole Firefly of it all–the salvage ship roaming the skies looking for junkers to theft from. Made me wonder what the crew of Serenity would make of the TARDIS. And while the crew of this salvage ship wasn't exactly Mal, Wash, Zoe et al levels of awesome, they were fascinating. But really, it was the TARDIS itself that intrigued me the most; all the things she is, all the secrets she hides, the ways in which she protects the Doctor and holds all his demons.
The Crimson Horror
And for this episode it was the return of the Paternoster Gang (love them all SO MUCH and always have a favorite. This time it was Jenny in her adorable, kick-ass-ness), Squishy in a bowler hat (is there no headwear that isn't adorable on that head?!?) and the mystery and danger of the red faced dilemma, especially, of course, in the case of Squishy's perfect face. OW! Poor baby!
But mostly, it was the interaction between Ada Gillyflower (the blind, tortured daughter of the main villain) and her special monster–Squishy! I will NEVER tire of his care and gentleness to most of humankind, but especially those the most fragile–children and the beaten-down.
Ada: You! It's you! My monster! You've come back. But you're…
The Doctor: Warm. And alive. Thanks to you, Ada. You saved me from your mother's human rubbish tip. {she cries} Now, hey. What's wrong?
Ada: She does not want me, Monster. I am not to be chosen. Perhaps it was my own sin. The blackness in my heart that my father saw in me.
The Doctor: Ada, no! That's nonsense. Stupid, backwards nonsense. And you know it. You know it.
It's what I think I'll miss the most. The whole "900 years of time and space, and I've never met anyone who wasn't important" of him. It's hard to imagine any other Doctor saying some of those things, knowing when someone needs a hug, a hand to hold or just a face to slap.
- Winding Down
- Let's Keep Being Awesome, America!

There are several ways to make your stay at Blue Mountain Chamber Music Retreat an unforgettable musical experience. Without nearby neighbors, you are free to play at all hours of the day or night, your housemates willing! The residence houses a superb Grotrian grand piano and a two-manual, three-foot Sperrhake harpsichord. Music stands, music lights and suitable chairs are available.
Come as a preformed group
Guests are invited to coordinate their stay with their favorite chamber music companions. An established string trio or quartet, for example, could spend a weekend at the Retreat perfecting their repertoire and join with your host, pianist Ron Brickman, for piano quartets or quintets. There is a huge library of chamber music (with the focus on works including piano or harpsichord) on the premises (see Library page) and your host can make recommendations to help you discover some beautiful unfamiliar works.
Pianists are most welcome. The Grotrian grand piano is one of the world's greatest pianos for chamber music and pianists can explore the vast library of scores on site. Your host also has a large collection of music for piano 4-hands and two pianos, and a digital piano can be brought in for two-piano playing (see Library page).
Professional Ensembles in Residence
The Blue Mountain Chamber Music Retreat welcomes professional ensembles for short- or long-term residencies. Ensembles on tour are invited to stay at the Retreat to rehearse and relax between engagements in Northern California. The Retreat is an ideal location for perfecting a program or working up new repertoire as there are no restrictions on practice hours nor fees for rehearsal hall rental.
Come as an individual artist for duos with piano
Your host Ron Brickman has accompanied world-class instrumentalists and vocalists and is a superb sight-reader. Individual instrumentalists and vocalists are invited to work with him on their upcoming programs and explore new repertoire. There is no charge for his services at the piano.
Link up with local players
As President of the Mother Lode Friends of Music, the premier classical music performance society in the Mother Lode, your host is at the nexus of a large network of players who reside in the region and in neighboring metropolitan areas. They can be contacted to fill virtually any opening in a desired ensemble. If you are a violinist and wish to come with a violist friend, we can ask one of our local cellists to join the group for a session. Ever want to play the "Trout" but couldn't find a double bass player? We have one!
Students welcome
As an accomplished pianist and accompanist, your host is available to work with students of all levels in preparing their upcoming recitals and auditions.
Register as an independent player for ad hoc ensembles
If you do not have playing companions who are available to come with you to the Retreat, you may register your availability and link up with other compatible musicians also looking for playing partners. Guests who seem to be a good match will be contacted to work out a mutually convenient time for a coordinated stay. If interested, please click here to fill out the Registered Player form.
Coaching available
Individuals or ensembles who desire professional-level coaching may engage the services of several professionals who live within range and are regular performers with the Mother Lode Friends of Music. Ensembles will negotiate the date, times and fees directly with each coach. Advance booking is required. Coaches may also be available to play with the ensemble. This could be of particular interest to ensembles who seek the relatively rare experience of playing with harp or guitar. Available coaches include:
Corina Stoian, world-class concert violinist, former concertmaster of the Essen Chamber Orchestra in Germany, soloist with the Auburn, Diablo, Camellia and Bear Valley orchestras, concertmaster and soloist with the Orchestra of the Mother Lode Friends of Music
Randy Fisher, professional violinist/violist, coach at Hidden Valley Chamber Music Workshop and other workshops
Alan Clark, former principal cellist of the Auburn Symphony and the Camellia Symphony, former coach at Humboldt State Chamber Music Workshop
Ann Miller, associate professor of violin at the Conservatory of Music of the University of the Pacific and a member of Trio 180.

Nina Flyer, professor of cello at the Conservatory of Music, University of the Pacific and member of Trio 180. She is the former principal cello of the orchestras of Jerusalem, Bergen and The Women's Philharmonic, and former acting principal of the San Diego Symphony.
Henrik Jul Hansen, conductor of the Orchestra of the Mother Lode Friends of Music and other orchestras. Trained at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Stockholm and the London School of Music.
Sonia Leong, international concert pianist, now with the Trio 180, Adjunct faculty at the University of the Pacific in Stockton, coach at Northern California Chamber Players workshop.

Joseph Wiggett, Professor of Voice Studies at California State University—Turlock and former Artistic Director, Townsend Opera, Modesto.
Beverly Wesner-Hoehn, international harp soloist and chamber musician
Gordon Rowland, professional classical guitarist, chamber player, teacher and recording artist
Performances possible
For those who like to perform at the end of a rehearsal cycle, it is possible to arrange informal performances during the Afternoon Tea or Happy Hour for the enjoyment of a small number of local music lovers. Professional groups should contact the Retreat's host Ron Brickman about performing a concert in a larger concert venue during their stay under the sponsorship of the Mother Lode Friends of Music or other presenter organizations in the region.
There is no fee for the services of your host, Ron Brickman, at the piano for overnight guests of the Retreat. Ensembles who desire coaching are responsible for negotiating fees and other arrangements with the coach of their choice. Contact information of possible coaches will be provided to those interested.
There is a $100 surcharge for the use of the harpsichord. This covers the cost of moving it into and out of the music-making space (it takes at least two hefty men to do so) and for tuning (1-2 hours over a several-day period).

New Color Way for Les Fleur Pavoine
By request, I've created a new colorway for this very popular collection. In the near future there will be additional color ways available including: Grey, Rose Pink, Light Blue, and Teal.
This is hand painted, watercolor artwork of flowers I painted from life. I've worked it into a "French Antique Wallpaper" feel so that while it is new art it has the feel of vintage antiquity. Some of the elements included are antique handwriting, hand painted leaf swirl border with an interior that has a velum look. I've also included botanical butterflies, printer's ornament decorative etchings and other vintage elements.
These are set up for weddings, but you can change the text to use them for any party, celebration or business corporate event.
Today's Best Awards at Zazzle
For those that aren't familiar with the Zazzle marketplace, there are literally billions of products available from millions of artists, photographers and designers. Each day, Zazzle selects 30-40 of those products to reflect what they felt were the best and/or most interesting new items created that day.
I have been blessed to be selected many times in the four months I've been active at Zazzle, but this last week I was really pleased to have my products selected 3 days in a row. It's quite an honor and a reward for your hard work. Thank you, Zazzle!
The contemporary flower design was a lot of fun to create. So many of these contemporary designs are just drawn and colored in on Photoshop. I love to bring watercolor art into contemporary design and give it a flair that flat graphics will never achieve.
This collection was created out of the art work I designed for my "Paradise" fabric collection with Studio E Fabrics. There are three different collections within this collection which makes it perfect for the bride that hates "matchy-matchy!"
And finally, a contemporary baby girl baby shower or birth announcement. One of the things I love to do with my Zazzle store, is play with creating more contemporary work than might be my usual. This "Circles 'n Booties" ensemble is a great example of mixing classic Audrey Jeanne art with a contemporary twist.
I am just 1400 visits away from 700,000 hits! Thanks one and all for taking time out of your day to let me share my art and my heart 🙂

Rug Ideas & Cat Clawing Prevention Tips?
Q:I need your readers to help me pick out a rug to make my living room (larger photo below) less stark and clinical feeling. My budget is pretty small (think less than $300) - any ideas? Do I go with a pattern? A solid? A shag? Help!
Oh, and I also have a cat who has a penchant for rolling up in/clawing my bath mat. I'm afraid he'll try to do the same to any rug I get, so I could use tips on preventing that, too.

The top three participatory budgeting projects were chosen after a total of 222 initial proposal submissions were received, all of which where drafted and delivered by North Long Beach residents. 165 Uptown residents gave PB an early spark back in September, bringing their energy and ideas to numerous public outreach and community meetings.
Winning proposals were announced by Councilmember Richardson this past Tuesday, May 31st, as follows:
The top three winning PB projects are:
1. A Sustainable Approach for Storm Water Runoff (702 votes) -
This pilot project will work to manage storm water runoff on streets through curb cutouts, rain gardens, and tree swales. The project will also consist of installing educational signs about improved water quality and conservation.
2. DeForest Park Restroom Beautification (679 votes) -
This project will install interior upgrades at the DeForest Park restrooms including new finishes and fixtures.
3. Fitness Zones at Ramona & DeForest Parks (648) -
This project will allow for the installation of 3-5 outdoor exercise machines each at two parks to increase access to healthy lifestyles for residents of all ages.
While only $250,000 was originally allocated to PB this cycle, we decided like we did last year to fund the top three that won for a total of $300,000 in projects voted on by our residents. We are so proud of the 1,382 residents who voted in Participatory Budgeting this year!
Here's how the other projects did:

AbstractDengue is an arthropod-borne viral disease caused by four antigenically different serotypes of dengue virus. This disease is considered as a major public health concern around the world. Currently, there is no licensed vaccine or antiviral drug available for the prevention and treatment of dengue disease. Moreover, clinical features of dengue are indistinguishable from other infectious diseases such as malaria, chikungunya, rickettsia and leptospira. Therefore, prompt and accurate laboratory diagnostic test is urgently required for disease confirmation and patient triage. The traditional diagnostic techniques for the dengue virus are viral detection in cell culture, serological testing, and RNA amplification using reverse transcriptase PCR. This paper discusses the conventional laboratory methods used for the diagnosis of dengue during the acute and convalescent phase and highlights the advantages and limitations of these routine laboratory tests. Subsequently, the biosensor based assays developed using various transducers for the detection of dengue are also reviewed. View Full-Text

LWI - Land Warfare
D&S 2017: Aselsan ups the tempo with SARP-M134
Aselsan unveiled a new remote-controlled weapon station (RWS) at Defense & Security 2017 in Bangkok, one designed for installation on vehicles and able to achieve high rates of fire with an installed 7.62mm M134 Minigun.
The stabilised weapon is called the SARP-M134, with 'SARP' denoting Stabilised Advanced Remote weapon Platform. The six-barrelled M134 can fire up to 3,000 rounds per minute whilst the vehicle is on the move.
The RWS has an EO suite comprising a thermal camera, day TV camera and laser rangefinder. It has automatic target detection and tracking capabilities. The SARP family can also integrate with a host's combat management system or act as a hard-kill option for anti-UAV systems.
Mehmet Ozguclu, director of Aselsan Malaysia, a fully owned subsidiary of the Turkish company that was established this year in Kuala Lumpur, said firing demonstrations of the SARP-M134 will occur in the future for potential clients.
Ozguclu noted that a laser could be fitted to the SARP later as well. Aselsan stated that its RWS systems are currently used by 13 different countries worldwide.
Aselsan has achieved considerable success in Malaysia with its RWS range, with six New Generation Patrol Craft of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) each fitted with a 30mm SMASH weapon system. The first two have been delivered and accepted, with the third and fourth weapons due to be delivered soon.
The MMEA will also install 30mm SMASH cannons on three 1,900t OPVs currently under construction in Malaysia.
Of special interest, Aselsan will also supply a 30mm SMASH RWS for each of the Philippine Navy's (PN) two frigates that are on order. Hyundai Heavy Industries awarded the contract to Aselsan in July.
The PN also plans to fit a 30mm cannon to the stern of its pair of Tarlac-class Strategic Sealift Vessels and Aselsan senses an opportunity for SMASH there to offer commonality with the frigates.
In other Philippine news, just over 4,400 A100 monocular night vision devices were handed over this year by Aselsan.

Seated beneath the sloping roof of his small office in an upper corner of a large workshop, a portable air conditioner humming in the background, Ryan Neptune is hardly the stereotype of a successful international businessman in his casual T-shirt and Carhartts.
But a glance at the massive dry-erase calendar lining one wall, already filling with jobs that will have Neptune and his team globe-trotting throughout the winter, offers a clue to what lies beneath Neptune Industries' laid-back exterior. Since it was founded in 1997, the Boise-based company has become one of the world leaders in snowboard terrain park and skatepark design and construction.
On an early summer afternoon, Neptune, 34, quickly runs down the list of where company representatives are reporting in from, including the High Cascades Snowboard Camp on Oregon's Mt. Hood and on the other side of the world in New Zealand.
In the driveway, a set of new terrain park features awaits a trip to the East Coast. Preliminary ground work for the terrain park at the site of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics has already been completed, and Neptune was recently in Michigan for another project.
"[We'll be] quadruple booked through the winter," Neptune said, adding his crew can sometimes be found manning four or five World Cup events in three countries each weekend.
Considering Neptune never really meant any of this to happen makes his success all the more noteworthy.
"The only plan I've ever had is to really never work for anyone," Neptune said. "I've never had a job," he added with a laugh.
Yet, despite his claim of never having had a real job, Neptune has continued to carve out new niches for himself in an effort to keep ahead in the race he helped start.
Neptune's tale of circumstantial luck started in childhood, when he started skateboarding at 5 or 6 years old. Skateboarding led to snowboarding a few years later, and snowboarding led to a career. Neptune turned pro, and in 1999, was the first U.S. National Boardercross champion.
To help support his snowboard habit, Neptune started a landscaping business, eventually splitting his time between his two pursuits. But while he was on the mountain, he noticed many of the terrain parks at various events weren't up to par from an athlete's perspective. Back then, parks were built by the maintenance crews who could drive a groomer, but couldn't ride the park themselves.
Neptune was soon being asked for advice, then riding in a snowcat, helping fine tune the very course he would later compete on.
He laughs as he recalls the times he would stash his board in the woods, work all night on the snowcat, jump out in the morning, reclaim his board and head to the starting line without any sleep.
"But I loved doing it," he said with a noncommittal shrug.
Neptune saw an opportunity and began to transition his landscape business, which by then included welding, into a terrain park juggernaut, eventually working with resorts around the world to build and design parks for the season, as well as for competitions.
Neptune joined Bend, Ore.-based partner Pat Malendoski and created a board-oriented consortium of companies, including: Planet Snow Design, which builds terrain parks and pipes; Planet Snow Tools, which designs terrain-park-specific tools and gear; and Planet Skate Parks.
There's also Planet Earthwork, which does the pre-season groundwork for terrain parks and the relatively new Planet Resort Consulting and Management. After years of working at resorts as varied as Alts Resort in Japan and Mt. Hood Meadows, as well as building courses for the Grand Prix snowboard competition series and even the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics superpipe, Neptune and company are in a rare position. Their job has given them insider access to some of the world's leading resorts, and that knowledge of operations allows them to offer advice on how resorts can run more efficiently and cut costs.
Neptune said on average, he's able to help his clients cut costs by up to one-third.
"A lot of mountains sit in their own little world and never leave," he said. "You have to see how other businesses work in real life."
Surprisingly--especially considering Neptune learned to snowboard at Bogus Basin Mountain Resort--the company has done little work with the resort beyond donating a few pieces of equipment.
But when it comes to Neptune Industry's other sport, skateboarding, the company is behind nearly all area parks, including Rhodes park, Fort Boise, Kuna, Idaho City, Grangeville, Tremont and McCall.
One of the first Neptune worked on was Rhodes skatepark, which he did at the request of Paul Whitworth, co-owner of Prestige Skateboards in Boise. Whitworth and Neptune have been friends since childhood, and along with many other dedicated skaters, helped build an infrastructure for the sport in Boise.
"People really needed someplace to skate that was legal," Whitworth said of Rhodes.
Neptune has helped the parks as they've grown, often donating time and equipment, which Whitworth said is invaluable because of the cost of creating and maintaining skateparks.
"He's quite an ambitious dude," Whitworth said with a laugh.
Neptune has built skateparks across the country and has learned that no two parks are alike. Besides the physical location of the park, geographical preferences play a big role in the ultimate design.
"A park in Idaho is completely different than a park in New York," Neptune said. While Idaho skaters tend to prefer street-style courses, back East, it's all about rails. But determining what works for each community takes time actually talking to local skaters.
Whitworth said the sport has the strongest foundation ever, as witnessed by the number of small-town skateparks across the country. "There's a lot of money being invested," he said.
Neptune is hoping to see an increase in skatepark projects within the next 18 months as federal stimulus money trickles into communities around the country. Neptune is even learning how to help cities apply for funding for community improvement projects.
Still, terrain parks remain Neptune's focus. In the last 11 years, Neptune Industries has created parks at 77 venues for the Grand Prix series, which is required to qualify for the U.S. Olympic team. Overall, Neptune said the company has worked at more than 400 resorts. And while reputation goes a long way, staying ahead of both the industry and the riders is a constant challenge.
"We've been able to help steer the industry," he said. "[We're always] aware we have to find a new, competitive edge."
The key to that is thinking five years ahead, Neptune said. "You have to see what the action sports industry is going to do, or lose out. It's a constant design challenge."
Neptune's team members are some of the few in the industry who can ride everything they create, allowing them to make sure a park is perfect before any other rider ever hits the snow.
He admits pressure comes with the job. "You have to always push," he said. "It's never OK to keep replicating."
Still, some of that stress must be released whenever he gets the chance to ride one of his new creations.
"I can't complain," he said with a smirk.

Computer Repair is a very generic term used by PC technicians, but in reality, the term does have an intentional meaning.
Computer (or PC) repair relates to a software and/or hardware problem you are experiencing with your computer – it's that simple. Sometimes, a software issue (such as a device driver) is failing which produces the failure of a hardware item and it's our job to figure out where it started the domino effect. Maybe your computer is "slow" to boot, load or run…perhaps you're looking for an upgrade to speed up your computer or increase your hard drive capacity.
We know it can be VERY frustrating when something goes wrong with your computer and we totally get that – we (meaning you and me) rely on a computer for a multitude of tasks to simplify our lives and become the convenience they were manufactured for.
I want you to know right now that PrescriptionPC is your go-to place when you have a computer problem. Call us (we don't bite), email us (we check our email consistently throughout the day and even into the late hours of the day) and let us know what's going on – we're here to help and we just want you to know that, ok?
That being said, We hope we've put in a comfort zone knowing that we're here for you, we'll make best efforts to provide you the most cost-effective solution to your problem and we'll do it as quickly as possible.

The Swampscott Big Blue hockey team ensured North Shore puck fans that they will get a Swampscott vs. Lynn match-up in the semifinal round Thursday night in Chelmsford by beating Lowell, 3-2, on March 4.
Swampscott fell behind 2-0 in the first, and escaped a 5-minute boarding penalty, thanks to excellent work by their penalty killers. They kept the Red Raiders off the board when they had a chance to blow the game open.
Down by a couple of goals to start the second period, Conor Donovan banged home his seventh goal of the year, from Casey Williamson, to make it a one-goal game, 2:12 into the second period.
Steve Santanello played "beat the clock" with 12.5 seconds left in period two, when he fired one home to tie things up right before the break. Brett Benoit and Jack Poska set up Santanello.
Dom Codispoti was whistled off with 6:40 left in the third period, but once again, the Blue PK unit did the job, and less than two minutes after the senior defenseman got out of the box, he found the puck on his stick at the left point and a clear shot at the Lowell goal.
Codispoti whipped it home and the Big Blue had knocked out the No. 1 seed. Santanello and Donovan each picked up their second point of the night with assists on the winning goal.
It was a little bit of sweet revenge Codispoti said after the game. Last year's loss to the Red Raiders, when the Blue were the top seed, left a lousy taste in everyone's mouth. The team, especially the seniors, were not going to let that happen again in these playoffs.
"It was sweet revenge, that's for sure. They beat us and knocked us out last year. It hurt. We were determined that tonight wouldn't be out last game of the year. We went out and got it done, and we're still playing," Codispoti said. "We were behind early on but we didn't get down and we worked our way back and had a great team win tonight. It was a great job by everybody, it's hard to explain how I feel right now. It's a much better feeling compared to last year."
Dan Johnson was a wall after surrendering two goals in the first period, and he echoed Codispoti's thoughts that the Blue were determined not to let Lowell dump them out of the playoffs again.
"We had a little slow start but we rebounded and found a way," Johnson said. "I can't say enough about my team, we didn't hang our heads when we were behind and we found a way to win."
Winger Brett Benoit, who picked up an assist on Santanello's tying score, said the team is definitely on Cloud 9 after beating Lowell.
"Honestly, I'm speechless right now, we just sent the No. 1 seed home. It was a complete team effort, and we're not done yet," Benoit said.
"It certainly wasn't the game plan to come out and get behind by two goals," head coach Gino Faia said. "The guys fought hard to come back. We had a couple of huge kills on their power plays, Stevie's goal late in the second gave us a lift into the third, and we pulled it out. This feels much, much better than last year."
Swampscott (11-5-6) will square off against the Lynn Jets (13-5-4) for the third time this winter, 8:15 on Thursday night, March 8, at the Chelmsford Forum.
For the Jets, who upset Shawsheen by the same 3-2 score before the Big Blue game, it's the deepest they've gone in the playoffs since Classical-English-Tech merged to become the Jets.
The winner of the Swampscott-Lynn game advances to the Division 3 North championship game, to be played at the Tsongas Arena next Monday, March 12.
