Renewable energy enjoys broad support in the US where people expect the government to support emerging clean power technologies- Americans more concerned about the state of the economy than the threat of climate change: 41% of respondents ranked climate change in the lowest category as a threat facing the world and 51% ranked the economic recession in the highest category in the recent 2012 Global Consumer Wind Study.
When asked to what extent does the electric utility industry cause human-action induced climate changes, 32% of GCWS respondents answered to a certain degree and 39% answered to a high or very high degree.
The overwhelming majority (67%) of respondents said that they would prefer to have their electricity sources supplied by renewables, versus 9% for fossil fuels and 8% for nuclear.
78% of respondents said that they would prefer to see renewables such as wind, solar, hydro, biomass and geothermal developed over the next five years.

Currently, hard real-time communication over multi-hop switched Ethernet is still an open problem for researchers. In this paper, a novel hard real-time communication approach over multi-hop switched Ethernet is introduced without any modifications to existing Ethernet hardware. Firstly, the upper delay bounds are analyzed using the network calculus theories. Then the dual-level traffic smoothing technique is proposed, which combines the node-level traffic smoothing with the global-level traffic controlling techniques. Thorough measurements are made to demonstrate the hard real-time communication performance of this approach over multi-hop switched Ethernet.

All about Async/Await, System.Threading.Tasks, System.Collections.Concurrent, System.Linq, and more…
Related Posts:
The Task Parallel Library (TPL) has come a long way since its inception. Over the course of several CTPs, it has evolved to be an important and central new component in the .NET Framework. Most recently, TPL was released as part of mscorlib.dll in the Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 CTP around the October 2008 timeframe. However, due to the nature of large software projects, that release was actually based on code from back in July! Needless to say, since last summer, we've invested a lot of effort into making sure that the right functionality is exposed through the right set of APIs. And as a result, TPL has changed considerably. In this set of posts, we'll walk through some of the changes so you'll be ready for the next preview release of .NET 4.0 (no guarantees at this time regarding when that will be). Of course, as with any software project, TPL may change even more between now and when it's released, so we're very interested in any feedback that you may have!
In this first post, we'll talk about some changes under the covers, some redesigns in System.Threading.Parallel, and some new cancellation features (Tasks and Tokens).
TPL now uses the .NET ThreadPool as its default scheduler. As part of this effort, the ThreadPool has undergone a number of significant functional improvements:
· Work-stealing queues were introduced internally to be used by TPL (see Daniel Moth's post on the new CLR 4 ThreadPool engine)
· Hill-climbing algorithms were introduced to quickly determine and adjust to the optimal number of threads for the current workload.
· Coordination and synchronization types such as SpinWait and SpinLock are now used internally.
Also, the whole of Parallel Extensions just emerged from a performance push. In TPL, this included work to decrease the overheads of loops and the launching of Tasks. We're by no means done where performance is concerned, but you should notice improved performance for a variety of scenarios.
The TPL feature crew spent many hours in design meetings, and this has resulted in quite a few changes for our Parallel APIs. Here are the most significant ones.
A common request/question we've gotten based on previous CTPs is the ability to limit the concurrency level of parallel loops. Folks would create a new TaskManager (specifying the number of processors and/or the number of threads per processor) just to achieve this scenario, and many were still unsuccessful. We now provide a better, more intuitive solution.
The new ParallelOptions class contains properties relevant to the APIs in System.Threading.Parallel. One of these properties is MaxDegreeOfParallelism, which does what it sounds like it does. The default value, -1, causes a Parallel API to attempt to use all available cores, but this can be overridden. For example, the following loop will run on no more than two cores regardless of how many exist in the machine:
var options = new ParallelOptions { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 2 };
Parallel.For(0, 1000, options, i=>
By consolidating options into the ParallelOptions class, we were able to eliminate quite a few existing overloads and prevent exploding the number of overloads when adding new options. Some new properties include a CancellationToken that will be monitored to determine whether a Parallel call should exit early, and a TaskScheduler that can be used to specify the scheduler on which to execute. Both of these options are explored more in later sections.
Thread-local State
In previous releases, we supported thread-local state via a ParallelState<TLocal> class. For example, to get the sum of 0-99:
int sum = 0;
Parallel.For(0, 100,
// Initialize all thread-local states to 0.
() => { return 0; },
// Accumulate the iteration count.
(int i, ParallelState<int> loopState) =>
loopState.ThreadLocalState += i;
// Accumulate all the final thread-local states.
(int finalThreadLocalState) =>
Interlocked.Add(ref sum, finalThreadLocalState);
In the above, loopState (a ParallelState<int> instance) stores each of the thread-local states in a property. However, loopState would also be used to prematurely break out of the loop (using the Break or Stop methods). For a cleaner design, we decided to separate these two functionalities by:
· Renaming ParallelState to ParallelLoopState (used to break out of loops prematurely, check if a loop has been stopped by another iteration, etc.)
· Removing ParallelState<TLocal> and baking thread-local state into the signatures of Parallel.For and ForEach overloads
To achieve the above scenario now, the body delegate would be:
(int i, ParallelLoopState loopState, int threadLocalState) =>
return threadLocalState + i;
Note that the body delegate is now a Func that returns a TLocal – in this case, an int. Each iteration of the body is passed the current thread-local state and must return the possibly-updated state.
In the previous section, we saw that a CancellationToken may be used to cancel a Parallel call. This token structure is actually part of a new unified cancellation model that is intended for eventual use throughout the .NET Framework. As of Beta 1, it is supported by a few TPL APIs such as Wait:
Task t = ...
CancellationTokenSource tokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
CancellationToken token = tokenSource.Token;
try { t.Wait(token); }
catch (OperationCanceledException oce) { }
// Elsewhere...
The new cancellation model centers around two types: CancellationTokenSource and CancellationToken. A CancellationTokenSource is used to cancel its member CancellationToken (accessible via the Token property). A CancellationToken can only be used to check whether cancellation has been requested; separating the ability to cancel and the ability to check for cancellation requests is a key point in the new model. In the above example, the Wait operation is passed a CancellationToken, and the associated CancellationTokenSource is used to cancel the operation; note that it is the Wait operation that gets canceled, not the Task.
As mentioned in the "What's new in CDS" post, cancellation merits a dedicated post, so look for that one soon.
Check back soon for "What's new in Beta 1 for TPL (Part 2/3)"!
Microsoft always comes with good ideas. I didn't like the ThreadLocal<TLocal>, but they did a great job by baking it into the parallel.for and foreach overloads. Great Job. BTW, when are you releasing Beta 1 (I'll not tell anyone!) I'm dreaming of that in the day and in the night.

Is there a DLL available for the TPL? (except for the June 2008 CTP, which doesn't include System.Threading.Parallel namespace and the other new things such as TaskFactory etc.)
Sorry. TPL is now part of mscorlib.dll, and we have no plans to support a standalone DLL of just Parallel Extensions.
However, the June CTP should include System.Threading.Parallel...
Thanks for your question!

BKV Maffia - how to avoid being fined!
What can you expect from a Transportation Company that welcomes you on their website with this:
"Did you know that you enter into a contractual relation with our company when you get on our vehicle to travel? "
Nobel prize winner Imre Kertesz after coming back from the Nazi concentration camp in Auswitch, wearing and having nothing but his prison camp pyjamas, was fined by a BKV controller on tram number 6 on his way home in 1945. He put this story into his book "Faithless".
During summertime BKV controllers obviously peck on foreign tourists, as the fines make up a significant part of their meager salaries. They don't care if you don't know, don't understand, etc, when they stop you, they want to give you a FINE.
Some of the tricks:
-the slots of ticket vendor machines are taped with Scotch tape
-ticket punching machines don't work (trams, buses)
-ticket punching machines are placed in places where you don't notice (subway)
-you may accidentally walk into BKV property from the street, bingo!
-you change a line on the subway (of course you don't know you are) and bingo! (Deak Square)
-when you validate your ticket you pull it out too fast from the machine so the printing gets smudgy, bingo!
-you have bought a week ticket but you don't keep it in a BKV picture ID, bingo
-you have bought a week ticket, you have the picture but you didn't copy the ID number from the card onto the ticket, bingo
-you got the damn week ticket, picture OK, there is a number but it's not too clearly written
Unique Suggestions: You can save yourself from a lot of trouble if you buy a DAY TICKET FOR ALL LINES(900 HUF), no picture, no ID, etc. Just put it in your wallet and show it, like you would do with your ticket in a country with civilised transport. This pass will let you go all the way until midnight the next day.
Fun Alternatives: Walking. Nay. DAY TICKET. Also, don't get sucked with that Budapest Card.

Free only for EU, EEA and Swiss Seniors +65.
Public transport on metro, trams and busses (except the funicular and chair-lift) is free of charge for citizens of the EU, EEA Member States or Switzerland over 65 years old as you can read on the FAQ questions on the www.bkv.hu
Showing an identity card is enough to get the allowance.
Knowing the severity of the inspectors on the Budapest public transport and their high degree of activity in hunting tourists I wrote to the BKK company to get confirmation (with a text in Hungarian) of this free travelling for seniors.
I received a kind and complete answer in English and Hungarian from their customer service.
I join a copy of this for those who might need to use it (names and ref nr have been removed by me).
On our third bus trip coming back on bus 16 from the Buda castle an inspector stepped on the bus (he didn't look like a official except he was wearing an armband) and started controlling a couple of seniors, clearly tourists, while in the back of the controller a few Budapest inhabitants were discreetly checking their transport ticket at the machine to escape the fine of 16000 HUF (± 55 € since 1/01/2013).
The two tourists were fined each 16000 HUF! They thought that being over 65 years public transport was free of charge for them. But they were Canadians, not citizens of the EU, EEA Member States or Switzerland.
When the controller came to us we showed our identity card and the letter of the BKK to show our good right to travel free. The guy said in perfect English: "I know this rule, you are from Belgium, and it's OK!"
We experienced several other controls mainly at the entrances of important metro stations. It was just enough to show our identity card.

How to avoid Taxi rip off
Rule 1.
Always call / take a taxi of a major company. Major companies has nice corporate looking signs and not only the taxi light on top. And most importantly the taxi sign on top doesn't say only "taxi" but it has the company name on it. Also make sure that the sign on the side is matching with the sign on the taxi light.
Some taxi companies you can call from your cell phone at any time:
Budapest Taxi, cheapest, family style: +36.1.4-333-333 from cellphone or 4-333-333 from a local Budapest phone
6x6 taxi: +36.30.2-666-666 from cellphone or simply 6-666-666 from a local Budapest phone
City taxi, more expensive: +36.30.2-111-111 from cellphone or simply 2-111-111 from a local Budapest phone
Rule 2.
If you arrive by plane take the Zone "airport" taxi solely just to get transfered to the city or call any of the taxis above and ask for the "fixed price". All mayor taxi companies have fixed airport transfers, so never take an airport transfer (either inbound or outbound) by the meter.
Rule 3.
If you arrive by train or bus, your chances to get riped off are pretty high. Most scamer taxi drivers are fishing at bus stations or train stations. So you better not go with the drivers trying to invite you, but rather call the taxi companies above.
Rule 4.
Always call for a taxi (numbers above), never wave for them, this will save you money and also you have a great chance of not bumping into scamer drivers.
Rule 5.
If you stay at a fancy or not so fancy hotel, ask the receptionist to specifically call any taxi companies above for you otherwise if you take the official "hotel taxis" that can easily cost you almost twice as much.
Rule 6.
If you don't speak Hungarian, ask a German or English speaking driver when you call for the taxis, that can save you some headache.
Rule 7.
All Taxi companies have different categories, the most premiere is "A" and "E" category. These are bigger cars, like a Mercedes or similar. When you call for the taxi, you can specify the category and it won't cost you extra, but you might wait for them to arrive later than more ordinary taxi categories.
Rule 8.
You can specify if you want a smoker or non-smoker taxi when you call for them, it won't cost you more. By default there are more taxis out there who are smoker ones, so they might be stinky for a non-smoker nose.
I'm a local from Budapest, so you can't go wrong with these tips.
Here is a full list of the major taxi companies:
Taking a Taxi
In Eastern Europe it is often kind of difficult to assess what a reasonable price for a taxi ride might be. Generally speaking, most taxi drivers are cheaters and try to drive you for a higher trourist rate. When we came out of the airport on my trip in 2004, we took a taxi that offered the 25 km to the city centre for a fixed price of 5200 HUF, which seemed okay for us. On our return journey, we hailed another taxi company that charged us only 3400 HUF for the same trip. During the ride I watched the driver switching the taxameter between two speeds, so that it finally reached 3400 HUF.
Unique Suggestions: When taking a taxi make sure to fix the rate in advance and to have a good idea of a reasonable price.

Budapest Card - Is it worth it?
The short answer is (in my opinion) no. I notice they've really increased the price this year, and it's now 4,350 Ft for 48 hours or 5,450 for 72 hours. If this card delivered all it said in the literature, it might be worth while. However, I only obtained "free admission" to one Museum (Budapest History) and 20% reduction on all others i.e. Student reduction, so if you're a student it's definitely NOT worthwhile. So much for "free admission" to most "places" this just isn't true. To make matters worse – the Guide the Card comes with is very ambiguous. When you read the literature on the various places it gives discounts, it says, reductions -100% -20% which is it?
Having said all of this the card hardly costs a fortune and some people might purchase it for its convenience value. However – had I not used the card I would have saved myself more than 2,000 Flt….the choice is yours!
Unique Suggestions: A three day Travel card costs 2,300 Ft.
Budapest Card - Carte Budapest sans intérêt.
The Budapest card is of not much interest because the main (national) museums have free entrance for the permanent collections. For the temporary exhibitions it is possible to have free entrance or a reduction if you are 65 and from the EU but you have to ask for it (sometimes to discuss for it).
A 3 days travel card costs only 2.500 HUF compared to the 5.900 HUF for the Budapest card. -=============================
Carte Budapest est peu intéressante car les principaux musées (nationaux) sont gratuits pour les collections permanentes. Pour les expositions temporaires il faut payer mais il est possible d'avoir l'entrée gratuite ou une réduction si l'on a 65 ans et membre de l'UE.
Il faut en faire la demande, n'hésitez pas à discuter.
A titre d'anecdote au Musée des Arts Décoratifs (Iparmuveszeti Museum) il y avait une exposition temporaire d'une dizaine de tapisseries Bruxelloises qui, vu mes origines, m'intéressaient.
A l'entrée du musée il était indiqué que les collections permanentes n'étaient pas accessibles. L'entrée pour les tapisseries (9 en tout) était de 800 HUF. Après discussion avec la caissière et le garde qui parlait un peu l'anglais, j'obtins la réduction à 400 HUF parce que 65 ans et membre UE. J'étais seul - avec la gardienne - dans la salle des tapisseries, fort belles d'ailleurs. A la sortie de cette salle elle m'indiqua que je pouvais visiter le reste des collections permanentes!
Le truc étant de ne laisser visiter les collections permanentes gratuites qu'à ceux ayant payé l'entrée à la collection temporaire.
Petites arnaques de Budapest!

"HYENA" TAXIS and how to spot them
A typical hyena cab, as on the picture here is a black, newer Mercedes Benz, a car regular taxi drivers could never afford sometimes with some make-beleive company logo, not on the front doors as on real taxis but on the trunk.
NEVER EVER be so dumb as to even talk to taxi drivers that drive taxis without insignias of the well known taxi companies (Budapest Taxi, Taxi 2000 or 6X6) on the front doors. Hungarians call these cabs "hyena taxis", well not without a reason. Hungarians would sooner walk from Kispest to Obuda than take any of these.
They are NOT taxis, but petty criminals looking for a few (or more) bucks to make. Even if you see no other taxis around (e.g. Matthias church, end of Vaci utca, other touristy places, where "hyenas" have a usual gathering place) just keep looking for real cabs or just walk, you'll be better off even if you get lost!
Unique Suggestions: Pay through the nose and don't argue because you might end up badly beaten in a dirty alleyway.
Fun Alternatives: Buy a day ticket for BKV (then you won't need a picture ID with the ticket) and take the bus, tram, pullman or whatever.

Story about the cafe with the cash dispenser
This is a story that happened last week in Budapest. We heared it from 2 boys from Belgium.
They were drinking somewhere in a cafe in Budapest. After a while, 2 girls came to them to ask them what time it was. (It were just normal girls, like you and me) The girls spoke Hungarian, so first the boys didn't understand them. They kept on talking in English. Just a normal talk about the things of life.. (Where do you come from, what are your interests) After some time there was a little caress between the girls&boys. (They behaved sweet to each other, that sort of things; NOT KISSING or something) They drank some glasses, paid and finally the girls asked the boys wether they knew another cafe. They didnt, because it was their first night in Budapest. The girls proposed to go to a cafe they knew. (Not a sexclub or something, just a cafe). The boys agreed and they went to the cafe. The boys ordered some coffee for themselves. The girls themselves ordered a bottle of wine, for themselves. The talk went on and the girls ordered more bottles of wine. One of the boys told me he only drunk ONE coffee in this second cafe. At the end, the bill had to be paid. The waitress handed the bill to the boys. The total amount was 104.000 Forint. (400 Euro), and that while at least one of the boys only drunk a coffee. Of course the boys didnt want to pay the whole bill, so they gave it to the girls. The girls did as if the boys ordered all the drinks, including all the bottles of wine. There was some quarrel and finally they called for the waitress. She also said that the boys ordered ALL THE DRINKS. The boys were getting angry. They asked the girls if they could pay. But the girls could only show a banknote of 5.000 Forint. There was a big bouncer standing at the door of the cafe, so leaving without paying was impossible. The boys told the waitress they had only 10.000 Forint. Then the waitress pointed the boys at the cash dispenser in the cafe. Finally the boys paid 50.000 Forint and left the building. They were DECEIVED terribly.
Unique Suggestions: See for yourself how to prevend this.
Remember this: all this sort of tricks start with STUPID QUESTIONS.

Dolce Vita club - keep away
For anyone going on a stag trip to Budapest the best advice I can give you is NOT to go to the Dolce Vita club. It is little more than a clip joint of the type seen years ago in London's Soho. After thinking we had done well by negotiating a free drink, normally 2,000 Forints, we were totally ripped off within about 10 minutes of going inside. The girls will come and chat for a couple of minutes then mumble something about a drink and a dance. Whatever you say they will get up and start dancing then a guy arrives with some cheap sparkling, probably non-alcoholic, wine. As soon as they realise you have rumbled what is going on and you start complaining that you haven't ordered it they will present you with a bill. In our case this was 24,000 Forints each. Although there was six of us and we put up some resistance, any arguing just resulted in more heavies arriving and standing around menacingly. They are quite happy to escort you to a nearby ATM as well. Don't go there, there are other safer and less expensive places to have some fun.
Unique Suggestions: Pay the bill and get out after the first drink, otherwise they will keep doubling it.
Fun Alternatives: Try the Hallo Club on Kiraly.

Marcipan Museum on Castle Hill
My mouth was watering when i entered this so called museum next to the Hilton hotel on Castle Hill. They did have a roomful of displays of some of the figures they had made from marzipan..some quite good, others not so good. There is no information given as to how marzipan is made, how long these figures took to make etc.
Unavoidably, it leads to a gift shop where the cheery personnel will gladly sell you all the marzipan you wish.
Unique Suggestions: don't bother with the "museum", just go directly to the shop and indulge.
Fun Alternatives: The mazipan museum in Szentendre is supposed to be a better display of workmanship. Has anyone been there?

Kind of tourist trap, kind of warning
When I arrived in Budapest, I picked up a round trip ticket for the Airport Minibus. It served me well in January when I was there so I used it again.
They were a little slower getting me to my hotel this time around, but last time was the middle of winter and this was the travel season. So I didn't really mind. Anyhow, they drop me at my apartment with no difficulties but when I tried to set up my return trip I ran into a bit of a hassle. Their tickets and the agents at the ticket booth both say to let them know 12 hours in advance of when you need to be picked up for your trip to the airport.
I called them about 2 pm on a sunday for a 5:30 am pickup on monday. Much to my dismay, they inform me that all of their busses are full already and I will have to find an alternate means to the airport. Never mind the fact that I had purchased a round trip ticket, I was still S.O.L. about getting a ride back out to the airport when I needed to go.
I paid a cab to take me out for about $20 USD and it was much faster than the bus would have been, but still, I'd paid about $9USD to ensure I had a way to get back to the airport with a minimum of hassles. And of course the ticket counter wasn't open when I arrived, so there was no way for me to get a refund on the portion they couldn't honour.

Budapest Taxies...
The Taxi in Budapest is working in a way of Mafia....
Altough they are working with metersthe meters are running way too fast.
The prices are high at any part of the city but especially in Big transportation centers such the airport or the bigger train staaitions, when they see that you have a ;lot of luggage.
Unique Suggestions: Try to bargain with the driver, maybe you can reach a reasonable price.
Fun Alternatives: Use the public transportation.
FINES at 16000 HUF on public transport.
The fines are not 8000 HUF but 16000 HUF now (June 2013) that is ± 55 € !!!
I saw a couple of seniors on bus 16 being fined by a controller at 16000 HUF. They thought that being over 65 years public transport was free of charge for them. But they were Canadians, not citizens of the EU, EEA Member States or Switzerland.
So be careful believing that it is free for all seniors; bad advice did cost them 110 € for going down from the Buda castle to the Pest centre!
Chequepoint - rip-off exchange rates!
Avoid using Chequepoint to change money in Budapest (or anywhere else for that matter).
Some of my British and American friends have told me horror stories of the rip-off rates charged by Chequepoint when changing money into Euros. The company (click on the logo so you can steer clear of it) has outlets at many tourist sites. It seems to be a problem with this particular dealer - other VT members have reported the same kind of fraud. My advice is not to use Chequepoint under any circumstances.
In any event, you will get much more competitive rates drawing local currency on your Visa or Visa Electron card (preferably use a cash dispenser in a bank during opening hours and check the card slot shows no evidence of being fiddled with (a favourite trick is to slip a thin additional reader in). Shield the keypad with your hand as you tap the numbers in (in another scam, a concealed webcam films your PIN number).
Unique Suggestions: Change your money at a reputable bank not at Chequepoint.
Fun Alternatives: Take out currency on your Visa Electron card (if you directly debit the sum to your bank account, you will avoid the usual 1.5% charge for cash withdrawals). The "spread" is narrow and the exchange rates highly competitive.

the Castle's labyrinth
The labyrinth is a maze of tunnels that zig-zag beneath castle hill. There's nothing wrong in this - except it's not really a labyrinth, but tunnels!!! The usual tunnels you wound find undeground in every castle, except for the fact that here you have to pay for the entrance - and the entrancei ncludes the price of a cup of coffee in the underground's café (a trap within a trap). There's also very unoriginal reproductions of cave paintings from around Europe.
Unique Suggestions: don't buy a souvenir (in the underground's souvenir shop)
Fun Alternatives: Go underground... for real! The Budapest region, I heard, is famous for its many caves!!!!

Skip to comments.Camel bones suggest error in Bible, archaeologists say
Posted on 02/05/2014 5:24:50 PM PST by workerbee
click here to read article
Calling it "proof" was such a stretch that I laughed out loud as I read it.
Why weren't the gates tall and wide enough for a camel to walk through ...
I heard that the "eye of the needle" could be the people-sized door in the full-sized city gate. A camel could get through it but only if it was unpacked and made to crawl through on its knees.
City gates were locked at night, so if you got there late you had to do all this with your camels.
Josephus, the first-century A.D. Jewish historian, records the words of Manetho who wrote several books on the history of Egypt:
There was a king of ours, whose name was Timaus. Under him it came to pass, I know not how, that God was AVERSE to us, and there came, after a surprising manner, men of ignoble birth OUT OF THE EASTERN PARTS, and had boldness enough to make an expedition into our country, and WITH EASE subdued it by force, yet WITHOUT HAZARDING A BATTLE WITH THEM. So when they had gotten those that governed us under their power, they afterwards burnt down our cities, and demolished the temples of the gods, and used all the inhabitants after a most barbarous manner: nay, some they slew, and led their children and their wives into slavery. At length they made one of themselves king, whose name was SALATlS....and as he found in the Saite Nomos [Seth-roite] a city very proper for his purpose, and which lay upon the Bubastic channel [of the Nile], but with regard to a certain theologic notion was called AVARIS [RAMESSES], this he REBUILT, and made very strong by the walls he built about it, and by a most numerous garrison of two hundred and forty thousand armed men whom he put into it to keep it....THIS WHOLE NATION WAS STYLED HYCSOS, that is, SHEPHERD-KINGS....BUT SOME SAY THAT THESE PEOPLE [THE HYKSOS] WERE ARABIANS...." These people, whom we have before named kings, and called shepherds also, and their descendants," as he [Manetho] says, "kept possession of Egypt 511 YEARS." — Josephus, Against Apion, bk. 1, sec. 14. f.
An ancient tradition, which has been preserved by several Arabian historians of the Middle Ages, further proves the ARAB origin of Manetho's hated Hyksos kings. This tradition "tells us of a certain Sheddad (the name means 'a mighty man'), the son of Ad, who made an IRRUPTION INTO EGYPT, conquered the country, and extended his victorious campaign AS FAR AS THE STRAIGHTS OF GILBRALTA. He and his descendants, the FOUNDERS OF THE AMALEKITE DYNASTY, are said to have maintained themselves more than two hundred years in Lower Egypt, where they made the town of AVARIS their royal residence." (A History of Egypt Under the Pharaohs, by Henry Brugsch Bey. Vol. I. John Murray, London. 1881, p. 266.)
The accuracy of carbon-14 dating relies on faulty assumptions, and is subject to human bias. At best, radiocarbon dating is only accurate for the past few thousand years.
Science Falsely So Called strikes again.
I found a 1984 penny in a parking lot that was not built until 1998.
It is absolute, incontrovertible proof of time travel, teleportation, alternate universes and likely counterfeiting.
Why are they so obsessed with camels in Israel. Abraham wasn't from Israel, he was from UR (Iraq) and maybe he brought his camels with him.
Camel meat from young camels was sold in suqs back in the 70's when I lived in the ME.
Tastes like beef when the camel is young. Nothing weird or smelly about it.
In addition to challenging the Bible's historicity, this anachronism is direct proof that the text was compiled well after the events it describes, reads a press release announcing the research.
So this is what amounts to "science" nowadays? Trying to poke holes in the Bible and making press releases about it?
Yet we are also supposed to believe they are unbiased and have no agenda.
IIrc, the Eye of the Needle was a particular gate, not just any ol' gate.
The Eye was the "night gate" and made small enough that only one (or two men, side by side, not sure) man at a time, possibly towing a donkey, could get through.
To get camels through if, say, a caravan arrived after the main gates closed for the night and wanted to get themselves and their goods into the city anyway, camels not only had to be unloaded, but put into a kneeling/sitting position and then dragged from the front and pushed from the rear to get them through.
It was a whole different type needle than the ones that angles dance upon the heads of.
It is my understanding there were two types of gates...main gates for commerce and built into one of the main gates was a smaller man size gate. Kinda like the doors used on old fire station doors. Camels could not enter through the man size gate.
There was no "gate" called the Eye of the Needle during the time of Christ. It was built during the Middle Ages.
Christ is making a rhetorical statement in Matthew 19:24-25 and Luke 18:25.
This is similar to falconry, where (historically, although this is no longer permitted in most areas) an animal can be held long enough to serve and then released before it loses its wild instincts.
Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence.
Manure piles. Find a few old ones and they can tell a very interesting tale as far as what was being fed and how well, also much easier to date this close to modern times usually.
Ah, you are just trying to out us oldsters. Yeah, I remember it. Seems it was the same time frame as the commercial with the camel saying, "I want a Clark bar".
Yes, Tareyton. I am embarrassed to admit that the commercial, which had the slogan, "I'd rather fight than switch" won over the young me.
You open the gate.
Well, they did "pinpoint" it so I guess there's no need for further discussion.
Im not sure where to start?

http://archaeology.about.com/od/cterms/g/camels.htm: Evidence for the domestication of Bactrian camels has been found as early as 2600 BC at Shar-i Sokhta (also known as the Burnt City), Iran.
Dromedaries may have first been domesticated by humans in Somalia and southern Arabia, around 3,000 BC, the Bactrian in central Asia around 2,500 BC,[14][62][63][64]
http://bibleapologetics.wordpress.com/2011/04/24/were-camels-domesticated-in-the-time-of-abraham/ [10] Both the dromedary (the one-humped camel of Arabia) and the Bactrian camel (the two-humped camel of Central Asia) had been domesticated since before 2000 BC., Scarre, Smithsonian Timelines of the Ancient World, p. 176 (1993).
[11] As far as hard dates go, the 2500-1500 B.C. suggested earlier for the introduction of the camel into Somalia is the best that can be done from available data. Given the stage domestication had reached by the time the camels and their owners crossed the sea, some additional time must be allowed for earlier stages. Taking this into consideration, it is easily conceivable that the domestication process first got underway between 3000 and 2500 B.C., Bulliet, The Camel and the Wheel, p. 56 (1990 ed., originally published 1975).
[12] Found in a context datable to 2700 B.C., the remains led the excavators to argue that camel domestication began in Turkmenia and spread south (Compagnoni and Tosi 1978: 9599). The domestic camel was apparently known to the inhabitants of the Indus Valley Civilization by 2300 B.C., although the species utilized remains open to question (Meadow 1984: 134 and references)., Zarins, Camel, in Freedman (ed.), Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary (electronic ed. 1996).
[13] Archeological discoveries have now shown clearly that references to domesticated camels in Genesis are by no means anachronistic, as some earlier scholars supposed. While camel caravans seem to have been used regularly only from the Late Bronze Age onward, archeologists have found numerous bones of domesticated camels. Thus when Parrot was excavating Mari, he found camel bones in the ruins of a house dated in the pre-Sargonic period (ca 2400 B.C.). An eighteenth-century-B.C. relief from Byblos pictured a camel in a kneeling position, and a socket on the back showed that the animals hump and its load had been attached separately. In accord with patriarchal traditions, cylinder seals from Middle Bronze Age Mesopotamia showed riders seated upon camels., Harrison, Genesis, in Bromiley (ed.), International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, volume 3, p. 547 (rev. ed. 1988).
[14] Excavations in eastern Arabia, an area once believed to be a cultural backwater unworthy of archaeological investigation, have turned up evidence that camels were first domesticated by Semites before the time of Abraham. Much of this evidence has been examined by M. C. A. MacDonald of the Oriental Faculty at the University of Oxford, Caesar, Bible and Spade (13.77), 2000.
[25] However, there is now a growing body of scholars who believe that camel domestication must have occurred earlier than previously thought (prior to the 12th century BC) and that the patriarchal narratives accurately reflect this (e.g., Ripinsky 1984; Coote and Whitelam 1987: 102; Zarins 1992: 826; Borowski 1998: 11218)., Younker, Bronze Age Camel Petroglyphs In The Wadi Nasib, Sinai, Bible and Spade (13.75), 2000.
Richard W. Bulliet, "The Camel and the Wheel," pp. 64,65 : These five pieces of evidence, needless to say, may not convince everyone that the domestic camel was known in Egypt and the middle east on an occasional basis between 2500 and 1400 BC. Other early depictions, alleged to be of camels which look to my eyes like dogs, donkeys, horses, dragons, or even pelicans, might be more convincing to some then the examples described above...
It means simply that in the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries BC when Abraham and his immediate descendents appeared to have lived, camels were already known in small numbers in the northwest corner of the Arabian desert where the Western Arabian trade route branched out to go to Egypt or further into Syria. Local tribes in the area may have owned a few of the animals, perhaps as articles of prestige, without being heavily involved in breeding them. (Transcribed using speech to text software.)
Well gosh...even Gentiles understand that Moses wrote about the events from Adam to Abraham. I've never heard any assertions that he didn't. Is this some surprise to these "scholars"?
"Its strange to think of a time when the government actually gave cigarettes to the soldiers as part of their rations. All things considered, Id trade these days for those."
They used to give 'em to us on airplanes when we would fly. And on college campuses there were those who came to give away free cigarettes.
If they had found some Baal temple with writing on the wall talking about camels, they would have exclaimed, "What a find!"
The bible is the only writing I know that has to constantly prove itself (and does so) yet tells everyone that it must be taken on faith. Every other early writing is taken on faith without a shred of proof.
Thanks, bunkerhill. That pretty well rips this halfass theory. I also noticed the site he was investigating isn't even in Israel. The fact the prof leads with his Bible is wrong conclusion is a tipoff that this guy is starting from a conclusion and looking for "evidence" to support it.
They are continually finding new archaeological items that both verify and push back the Hebrew existence in Jerusalem and the Roman Province of Palestine, even at the Temple Mount/Second Temple walls.
Funny. There was no mention of Palestinians back then.
Amen Harley. When you tell the average person that the Bible is the most reliable (historically) ancient document we have they chuckle to themselves like ignorant fools. I have even had people tell me that Jesus was not a real figure but when you point out that he is mentioned in non-Christian writings of the time you get a blank vague stare. People are willfully ignorant in a lot of cases - when you tell them to check out Josephus or Tacitus they won't or don't bother! Archaeological finds continue to reinforce the accuracy of the Bible and have done so as long as people have been looking - so much so that if it were any other document people would check their findings against it and question themselves a second time if they found something in disagreement with it!
Seriously well done Daniel!!!
The few camel bones found in earlier archaeological layers probably belonged to wild camels.
Probably? They make everything sound so factual but then everything is probably. Geezzzzzzz.........
The passage about Jesus in Josephus seems to be a later insertion by a Christian copyist. The early Christian apologists who might be expected to cite the Josephus passage don't. It's possible the Josephus did briefly mention Jesus, but that a later copyist "improved" on what he said. Tacitus' passage, on the other hand, is genuine.
Ancient historians debate the reliability of other ancient texts—Herodotus, Livy, Egyptian inscriptions, etc. It's just that there isn't as much riding on the verdict.
This article has a bizarre conclusion. Camels in Somalia, in Saudi, and in Mesopotamia in early to middle Bronze Age (3000-2000BCish), but somehow they're not permitted to be in an area that's at the juncture of all those areas.
Something or someone's logic smells shallow to me.
Dromedaries may have first been domesticated by humans in Somalia and southern Arabia, around 3,000 BC, the Bactrian in central Asia around 2,500 BC,[14][62][63][64] as at Shar-i Sokhta (also known as the Burnt City), Iran.[65]
In accord with patriarchal traditions, cylinder seals from Middle Bronze Age Mesopotamia showed riders seated upon camels.[66][67]
Unfortunately, Helen Thomas died last year.
I would add that when dating things such as the domestication of animals, evidence indicates an "on or before date". The lack of previous evidence does not prove anything, although certain presumptions might be made if a substantial amount of nonsupporting evidence exists. The problem in archeology is that alternative explanations almost always exist, and there is strong temptation for archeologists to agree, so that they can move on to assembling the rest of the puzzle.
For example, if a civilization without a written language worshipped Jaguars, but also forbade the depiction of their God (the Jaguar), archeologist might come to some spurious conclusions.

* Micron shares jump after strong earnings
* Forest Labs to buy Aptalis, shares rise
* Futures off: Dow 14 pts, S&P 2 pts, Nasdaq 1 pt
NEW YORK, Jan 8 U.S. stock index futures fell on Wednesday, a day after the S&P 500 posted its largest gain in three weeks and ahead of jobs data from the private sector.
* The ADP private jobs report is due at 8:15 a.m. EST (1315 GMT) and traders will peruse it for clues on the economy's strength ahead of a wider-reaching government report Friday.
* Minutes of the Federal Reserve's December meeting, at which the U.S. central bank announced its decision to trim its stimulative monthly bond purchases, are out later on Wednesday. Market participants will scan it for signs of a clear Fed commitment to keeping rates low for a long time.
* S&P 500 futures fell 2 points and were below fair value, a formula that evaluates pricing by taking into account interest rates, dividends and time to expiration on the contract. Dow Jones industrial average futures fell 14 points and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 1 point.
* Micron Technology shares jumped 9 percent in premarket trading a day after it reported a much higher-than-expected quarterly profit.
* Microsoft is closer to naming a new chief executive, according to a source familiar with the board's thinking, but it lost a front-runner candidate Tuesday when Ford's chief, Alan Mulally, said he would not be going to the software giant. Microsoft shares edged 0.8 percent lower in trading before the opening bell.
* A deadly blast of Arctic air shattered decades-old temperature records as it enveloped the eastern United States on Tuesday, snarling air, road and rail travel, driving energy prices higher and overwhelming shelters for homeless people. Economic activity is also expected to be hurt by its impact on retail activity.
* Forest Laboratories agreed to buy privately held specialty pharmaceutical company Aptalis Holdings Inc for about $2.9 billion. Forest Labs shares rose 7.2 percent in light premarket trading.

AbstractCMOS image sensors offer advantages for scientific and military applications, and although technology scaling benefits CMOS imagers by reducing pixel size, reducing power, and increasing each chips transistor density, today's sub-micron CMOS technology is not directly suitable for designing high-quality image sensors. Furthermore, the CCD back-thinning processes don't routinely transfer CMOS and many have had disappointing results backside thinning CMOS chips. In practice, the materials forming CMOS imagers from a range of manufacturers are all highly stressed mechanically, particularly in respect to the silicon layers of the device. This may result from the numerous metal and dielectric layers that characterize the modern CMOS imager. Working within the constraints of the ITRS roadmap, using a commercial foundries and standard equipment and processes, we will demonstrate two methods of back-thinning CMOS imagers, reliably and with low cost. Also in Phase I a monolithic back-illuminated CMOS imager design that can be fabricated using industry-standard tools in contemporary deep-sub-micron CMOS fabs will be detailed. Technology demonstrators will be fabricated to demonstrate the proof-of-concept, and the manufacturing process flow necessary to build a proof-of-concept science grade, back-illuminated CMOS imager in Phase II will be developed.BENEFITS: Three-dimensional, or stacked, semiconductors promise dramatic performance gains simply by arranging chip functions vertically, like the floors of a building. Stacked ICs have a wide range of applications including compact digital cameras, portable devices such as phones and PDAs, aerospace circuits, and the variety of commercial imaging applications.

Hello there,
I have had to move a few of my installed websites from 1and1 uk to Gatorhost and have downloaded each site folder and re-uploaded it to gatorhost in a folder.
The first problem i came across was "Error establishing databse" so i exported my old database via the sql my admin panel and imported it to the gatorhost panel.
Now the site loads: http://findaplacetostay.uk.com/digipixeldesign/clients/taliesinholidayhome
BUT when i try to login at http://findaplacetostay.uk.com/digipixeldesign/clients/taliesinholidayhome/wp-admin/ it just keeps taking me back to the old URL of the old address (http://www.taliesinholidayhome.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Ffindaplacetostay.uk.com%2Fdigipixeldesign%2Fclients%2Ftaliesinholidayhome%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
can anyone please help me so that it points to the correct page after loging in.
Also is there an easier way to copy all of the rest of my sites onto the new server without having to import and export sql files and edit them manually ect?
Thanks a lot

Publisher's Description
The Path through Politics Is Not the Road to God When the kingdom of God is manifested, it will wear the face of Jesus Christ. And that, says author Gregory Boyd, has never been true of any earthly government or power. Through close examination of Scripture and lessons drawn from history, Dr. Boyd argues that evangelical Christians who align themselves too closely with political causes or declare that they want to bring America back to God are actually doing harmboth to the body of Christ and society in general. Boyd shows how Jesus taught us to seek a power-under kingdom, where greatness is measured by sacrifice and service. There are no sides or enemies because we are meant to embrace and accept everyone. In The Myth of a Christian Nation, Dr. Boyd challenges readers to return to the true love of Calvary and the message of the crosssetting the power-over politics of worldly government aside.
Author Bio
Gregory A. Boyd (PhD, Princeton Theological Seminary) is a pastor at Woodland Hills Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Previously a professor of theology at Bethel University, several of his many books include Letters from a Skeptic, Repenting of Religion, Myth of a Christian Nation, God at War, and Satan and the Problem of Evil.

Some parts of the Texas Panhandle likely received more than 2 inches of rain Wednesday night as storms moved quickly through the middle of the region, a National Weather Service meteorologist said.
Early radar estimates show the area near Umbarger and Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge in west Randall County likely received more than 2.5 inches of rain, B.J. Simpson said, though rainfall totals couldn't be finalized because rain continued to fall by press time.
"It's highly variable," Simpson said. "Some places got a quarter of an inch, then some places got an inch or more."
Preliminary rainfall totals
- Buffalo Lake, 2.5+ inches
- West Texas Mesonet, .38
- NWS Amarillo offices, .05

'Politeness training' coming to NYPD
The NYPD's encounters with the public will soon begin with a polite introduction and end "on a positive note" under a new "Seven Steps to Positive Community Interactions" curriculum
By Matthew Chayes
NEW YORK — The NYPD's encounters with the public will soon begin with a polite introduction and end "on a positive note" under a new "Seven Steps to Positive Community Interactions" curriculum announced Thursday by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Commissioner William J. Bratton.
The new training will roll out soon at the Police Academy and at in-service training, though no time table was laid out.
"Cops get in more trouble with their mouths than they do with any of the tools we give them — clubs, guns," Bratton said. "We injure very few people in this city making arrests . . . but we do tend to injure an awful lot of people through our language, and so the idea is to begin to formulate new language for all of our officers that might help to defuse a situation rather than escalate it."
The plan's other steps include actively listening, keeping an open mind, being patient, knowing about available agency resources, and aiming to address a person's needs.
De Blasio said the new training would help repair what he sees as a rift between the NYPD and the communities they serve — a problem he believes has been exacerbated by "the stop-and-frisk era" of the Bloomberg administration.

I have to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for fixing an "INCREDIBLE" dinner for my family and friends' tonight! You know, when you make something for the first time and it goes so well, you feel, like WOW, I did something GREAT today! We had friends' coming home tonight and they weren't going to stay for dinner. That was the best part. I made this using about 3 tbsps. cooking oil(3/4 cup is way too much!), 9 large onions(cut into thin wafers), 2 real large potatoes( I peeled mine and cut 'em into 1 inch cubes), 6 cloves garlic(peeled and chopped), 1 tsp. turmeric powder, a pinch of red food colour (This is a necessity for this dish - what a breath of life it imparts in the beautiful red colour that emerges when you add this- I added this right at the end, just before garnishing and mixed it in real well and wow! I'll never forget how beautiful the colour was), 454 gms of mixed vegetables(I used 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets, 2 green capsicums, 1 small white pumpkin, some Frenchbeans and some celery), 1 tsp. fennel seeds(powdered) instead of fenugreek seeds, 1 1/2 tsps. salt, 2 green chillies, 1 1/2 tbsps. fresh ginger(peeled and chopped), 2 2/3 cups water( this much is needed, IMHO, to cook the vegetables), 1 1/2 tsps. garam masala powder, 1/2 tsp. whole corriander seeds instead of whole cardamom seeds, 1/2 tsp. red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp. black pepper powder instead of paprika, 2 cloves(powdered), 3 tbsps. shredded coconut and 1 1/2 tbsps. corriander leaves(chopped and used to garnish). Most important, I used 1/2 cup of tamarind juice! I didn't boil my potatoes separately, I just tossed them into the skillet alongwith the other veggies and they cooked beautifully! In step 9, I added 2 2/3 cups water. Just 2/3 cup was too less and I knew this dish needed more since there was a gigantic quantity of veggies in there that had to cook :-) I added the tamarind juice in step 10 (I omitted steps 1, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17). Thereafter, I skipped to step 14. After following step 14, I allowed everything in the skillet to cook(there wasn't enough gravy even now to allow it to 'simmer'), COVERED, for 30-40 minutes. I did stir once every 5-8 minutes. Right from the stage 1 where the onions were browning, my guests left my sitting room and popped in one-by-one into my kitchen saying, "Hey wow, Charishma, what you making? Oh, the wonderful aroma of the onions!" And, I ended up teaching almost 3 families how to make Vegetable Vindaloo tonight! :-) Well, as you must've guessed by now, they invited themselves to dinner! LOL. All of them stayed behind, and wow, they ate! I even packed some for them to have tomorrow for a delicious breakfast with buns! We'll be seeing sweet dreams tonight, thanks, my unknown friend, you made my day just SO ULTRA-SPECIAL! I must also add - The garnishing of this dish with corriander leaves at the end, made this look, like it had come right from a 5 star hotel! You deserve awards for posting this recipe. Thanks, again n again. This will be a regular on our table hereafter! I'll surely look forward to more recipes from you. Thanks, again!
This was all right, but for me, the spice combination needs some work. The cardamom (which I did measure) is too strong, and the flavors overall seem too sharp. I left the dish in the refrigerator overnight, hoping it would mellow. It seems to have mellowed a little, but not enough for my taste. I think I will add coconut milk to the remainder to smooth things out. Nonetheless, it was an interesting experience, for which I thank you.
I've been dying to open my new jar of tamarind paste, so was pleased to find a recipe to use it in. I really enjoyed this; it has a lovely spicy sauce, which is warm rather than hot. My vegetable mix was made up of largely of aubergines (because that's what I had) and also included green beans and a yellow pepper.
A great vegan Indian dish. I made it with cauliflower, carrot, and some broccoli. I actually had to replace the peas with corn, but it turned out very well. I agree with Charishma- 3/4 cup oil is excessive. I think 3-4 Tablespoons is a more appropriate amount. I used unrefined peanut oil for the oil and added some chopped peanuts to the final mix. Terrific flavor - the spices and the tamarind and the vegetables combine wonderfully. Also like Charishma, I didn't steam the potatoes seperately. I sauteed the onions with the spices, then added some water and the potatoes. When the potatoes were almost done, I added the veggies and other ingredients and cooked through. Easy! We enjoyed this with basmati rice and a touch of yogurt (since we're not vegan). I hope to try it again with green beans and peas- maybe I'll even try winter squash sometime like Charishma did. Lovely, very healthy meal and great for using up veggies you need to use up in the fridge and freezer- Thanks!
Recently I purchased a small package of tamarind paste from our local Indian foods store. I decided to make tamarind syrup from this to use for making drinks and adding to recipes. I was so pleased with the results I began to search for an Indian recipe to try it out. I've been a big fan of vindaloos for many years so I thought I'd try this out. I did add a few things not called for in the recipe (mostly things I had in the fridge I wanted to use before they spoiled), chicken breast strips, hing leaf, mint leaf. I also increased the tamarind to 2 tbsp. syrup. The rest I followed the recipe to the letter. I served this with some brown basmati rice. This was absolutely delicious. We like it so much we had seconds (something my partner rarely does). I put a tbsp. of the syrup in a glass, added water and a few ice cubes and stirred. Easy drink that was the perfect accompaniment for this dish. This the first time I used fenugreek and cardamom seed whole. That really enhanced the flavor experience of this dish. It was like discovering new and subtly different tastes in each bite. We both like cardamom a lot so this was a delightful flavor experience!

Released: Mar 28th, 2008
Running Time: 166 Min.
Director: Nacho Vidal
Company: Nacho Vidal
Cast: Andressa Mel, Alana Ferreira, Mylena Bysmark
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
The trouble with this all-solo title is, in putting the generally lovely T-gals at ease, Nacho talks pretty much throughout. He obviously says things that pique their interest ... and probably would ours as well, if only it weren't in Portuguese! Maybe he would consider providing subtitles for future volumes, so that after the viewer has gotten off, he (or she) can go back and read what the hell Nacho and the gal were talking about!
That said, at least half the gals are well worth looking at, beginning with lithe, dark-haired Cibeli Cusman, who strokes herself on the toilet. Similar-looking and just as hot is Isabelly Ferraz, of whom we get to see nice shots up her body from dick to face.
Best, however, has to be blonde Mylena Bysmark, who smiles and teases beautifully ... and spends a long time on the couch stroking herself to orgasm.
Retailing: Fans of solo T-girl action will grab this.
