The Royal Palace
Royal Palace Amsterdam is one of the three palaces that is still used by the Royal Family. The exhibitions and interior design are well worth your time.
The Royal Palace is located on the 'Dam' (Dam Square) in Amsterdam. It is one of the three palaces still used by the Royal Family.
The Royal Palace in Amsterdam isn't King Willem-Alexander's place of residence, but he occasionally receives important guests here.
History of the Royal Palace
The 350 year old Palace started as the City Hall of Amsterdam. In 1808 King Louis Napoleon Bonaparte transformed it into a Palace, which it has remained ever since. However, when you enter the Palace you can still see the building's original function.
The Royal Palace is open to public most of the time. Visitors can admire the marble floors, magnificent paintings, delicate sculptures, gigantic chandeliers, plus an annual exhibition.
Royal Palace Museum
The exhibitions and interior at the Royal Palace are definitely worth a visit. You can take your own time looking around or book a one-hour tour. The guided tours make your visit more interesting and informative but you will have to contact the organisation to make reservations two weeks in advance.
For more information about Amsterdam go back to the Amsterdam page or the Amsterdam museums page.

Eight crews competed and Haddad went through the series undefeated to win $23,000 and the Trophy Roger Wright. Samuel Albrecht finished behind Haddad with Marco Grael in third.
To avoid delaying the schedule, which was hampered by the absence of winds in the last two days, the race committee changed the formula and gave the title to the crew that totalled the most points in the round robin. All teams clashed in the waters of Rio.
"It's a special time to be champion," said Henrique Haddad. "Things were not easy even though we were sailing at home, in the Guanabara Bay. The wind was weak in most of the championship, but our performance was impressive. We had to win almost everything to take the title." Haddad will now fight for a spot in the Olympic 470, in 2016. "My focus is to compete in the Games in Brazil in the 470 class and continue to sail on other boats to gain further experience and race pace."
The event welcomed the first female team in the history of the event with Renata Decnop skippering the team. Decnop took two wins overall to finish in seventh place. "We are getting closer to the boys," said Decnop. "With more training we can improve this further. We won more respect and it was cool not to finish last." Decnop will campaign in the Women's 470 with Isabel Swan for Rio 2016.
Final Results
1. Marinha do Brasil (Henrique Haddad) - 7.5 points
2. Veleiros do Sul (Samuel Albrecht) - 6 points
3. Rio Yacht Club (Marco Grael) - 4.5 points
4. Búzios Vela Clube (Alexandre Saldanha) - 4 points
5. Yacht Club Ilhabela (Maurício Santa Cruz) - 3.25 points
6. Iate Clube do Rio de Janeiro (Thomas Low-Beer) - 3 points
7. Ciaga (Renata Decnop) - 2 points
8. Clube Naval Charitas (Rafael Pariz) - 1.25 points

A simple procedure for computing strong constrained egalitarian allocations
This paper deals with the strong constrained egalitarian solution introduced by Dutta and Ray (1991). We show that this solution yields the weak constrained egalitarian allocations (Dutta and Ray, 1989) associated to a finite family of convex games. This relationship makes it possible to define a systematic way of computing the strong constrained egalitarian allocations for any arbitrary game, using the well-known Dutta-Rayís algorithm for convex games. We also characterize non-emptiness and show that the set of strong constrained egalitarian allocations Lorenz dominates every other point in the equal division core (Selten, 1972).

\"Apple good, PC bad\" in Hollywood
In his most recent Chicago Sun-Times article, Roger Ebert addresses a reader's observation that movie watchers can sometimes tell who the "bad guys" are in a movie or TV show by "what computer they use." According to the reader, in "24," all the villains used PCs while the good guys all used Macs. The same holds true for "Austin Powers," "Legally Blonde," and other films. Ebert comments that "Since many Windows machines look alike, Apple is one of the few manufacturers that can gain by product placement, which accounts for some of the Macs."

Apple searches for new Austin office space
Apple is looking for new office space in Austin with its current lease will expire in about a year; it is reportedly looking for 250,000 sq feet of office space. Its current Austin office spaces "collectively amount to 241,000 square feet, so the current search for 250,000 square feet simply might be to consolidate the company's existing Austin offices. If the potential move excludes a business unit in an existing space, then the search might suggest an expansion by the groups that do renew their leases or move." Meanwhile, Macromedia recently announced $55 million worth of new San Francisco office space, which will be its new headquarter location.
Forbes speculates on Apple announcements
Adding to the rumor mill, Forbes speculates on the pending release of 1.25GHz iMacs and updated PowerBooks as well as wireless (Bluetooth) input device support in Mac OS X 10.3 Panther in its latest 'The Week Ahead' column. "Others say updates to the Powerbook line are imminent, particularly to the midrange Powerbook model with the 15-inch screen. Specifics are hard to pin down, but rumors suggest that a slight increase in the screen size of that product may be in the offing."

Cirrus creates Lightning-headphone dev kit
Apple supplier Cirrus Logic has introduced a MFi-compliant new development kit for companies interested in using Cirrus' chips to create Lightning-based headphones, which -- regardless of whether rumors about Apple dropping the analog headphone jack in its iPhone this fall -- can offer advantages to music-loving iOS device users. The kit mentions some of the advantages of an all-digital headset or headphone connector, including higher-bitrate support, a more customizable experience, and support for power and data transfer into headphone hardware. Several companies already make Lightning headphones, and Apple has supported the concept since June 2014. http://bit.ly/29giiZj

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
New features included in the forthcoming watchOS 3 are being tested by Apple retail store employees, including a new activity-tracking feature that has been designed with wheelchair users in mind. The move is slightly unusual in that, while retail employees have previously been used to test pre-release versions of OS X and iOS, this marks the first time they've been included in the otherwise developer-only watchOS betas. The company is said to have gone to great lengths to modify the activity tracker for wheelchair users, including changing the "time to stand" notification to "time to roll" and including two wheelchair-centric workout apps. http://bit.ly/2955JDa

Motown Lives
By Richard W. on March 26, 2012
Our P. A. Williams Auditorium was alive with the sounds and feel of Motown. Less like lookin' back fondly and more like relivin', this was a big, fun concert energized by consumate professionals who obviously love their work, every soulful minute of it. And while it didn't feel like history, of course it it is. For that reason, on a return performance, I would want all of our Music History students to experience The Motown Sounds of Touch.

PHOTO: Georgia sending hand-drawn portraits to recruits
Are you unsure if you're currently being recruited to play football at Georgia? Well, there's a relatively easy way to find out.
Have you received a hand-drawn portrait of yourself with a signed message from Mark Richt in the mail? No? Well then, I'm sorry, but you aren't Georgia football material. Don't take it personally, you're a 35-year old accountant. The fact of the matter is it's your fault for even thinking Georgia wanted you.
However, for those who are being considered, like four-star OT Chuma Edoga, Mark Richt and the Bulldogs are drawing them like one of their French girls.
"I'd say this (UGA portrait) is the most creative thing I've gotten in the mail so far," Edoga told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I thought it was pretty cool that they took time to do that (the drawing). And it was a pretty good drawing. I feel like it looks like me a little bit."
Here's the portrait Edoga received.
He's not the only recruit to receive one, either. Recruits like Rashad Roundtree, D'Andre Walker and Roquan Smith have all tweeted their portraits in recent weeks.
I'm kind of jealous, honestly. I mean, I don't need a scholarship offer or anything, but if Mark Richt wants to send me one I'd totally never write about him being on the hot seat. Ever.

BBC Review
A dustbowl Kasabian, cranking out repetitive car- and concert-friendly chuggers.
Si Hawkins 2012
Based in New York, fronted by a Scandinavian but with a country-folk aesthetic, Alberta Cross might be expected to conjure a sort of Fargo Rock, hurling a Coen Brothers-style curve ball at the Byrds/Parsons blueprint and winding up with a smorgasbord of quirky, fjord-fuelled Americana.
But no. If this second album by the Anglo-Swedish duo takes anything from their native lands, it's a passion for commercial, chorus-driven pop rather than the odd or innovative.
Songs of Patience was apparently a pig to produce, involving several cross-country relocations, false starts and dark nights of the soul for singer Petter Ericson Stakee. But little of this painful process is evident on the finished record. No emotive storytelling or moody soundscapes. These 10 songs often appear to be just elaborate jams, whipped up in the studio, with a few scribbled-down choruses added along the way.
Not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but while they're often compared to the brilliantly influential My Morning Jacket and The Band, Alberta Cross are more of a dustbowl Kasabian, cranking out repetitive car- and concert-friendly chuggers. The mighty riffs of Come on Maker and Money for the Weekend probably sound terrific while cruising through Texas with the top down. But they're not so good for those stuck at home, hoping to be stimulated by something a little more cerebral.
The album begins promisingly enough, with Magnolia's simple but effective harmonies, a pleasing cacophony of guitars on Crate of Gold, and the Verve-like Lay Down. But the big axe solos keep on coming, Stakee's slightly whiny delivery begins to grate, as do the lazy lyrics. "You got away with my mind," sings the nasal Swede on the amusingly overblown Ophelia on My Mind; "You got my heart intertwined." Intertwined with what?
Things pick up towards the end, and piano effort Bonfires is a welcome – if belated – change of pace: Stakee takes it easier, struggles less for the high notes and finally engages his audience. Ironically, it's one of the few moments where the inaptly-named Sounds of Patience doesn't sound rushed. Signs of promise, then.

This review is from: Roku 3 Digital HD Streaming Media player w/ Headphones Game Remote
Pros: Fast smooth 1080 HD streaming
Surround sound 5.1 Dolby Digital Plus Output
Motion Sensitive Remote, can play games with it
Wide variety of content available
Cons: Lacks outputs compared to original Roku, HDMI only
Requires credit card to set up box
Need a receiver with Dolby Digital plus and HDMI 1.3 inputs to decode surround sound
Default setting allows buying pay programs without perental controls or PIN number
Other Thoughts: I have owned the original Roku box and loved it. It has been rock solid, and had every kind of analog and digital output imaginable. I bought this as an upgrade to mate with my audiophile quailty old Harmon Kardon AV receiver and Paradigm speaker system, and stream Netflix. I ran the HDMI output to a new Samsung TV, and used the digital optical ouput from the TV to my receiver and got no sound. The problem was that my old receiver had Dolby digital, not dolby digital plus, and thus couldnt decode the audio. Switching the setting on the roku box to stereo sound enabled me to hear audio, but in stereo only.SO I will have to shell out for a new receiver to use this thing.
This thing also requires entering credit card info to activate.
By default there are no parental controls, or PIN numbers required to buy content. So any kid playing with this can buy content without you knowing it. To set up a PIN number you have to have a Roku account and setup a PIN number.
The bottom line is that this is a high performance impressive sounding little box with alot of content, but you need a new Dolby Digital Plus capable AV reciever to utilize surround sound
This review is from: Maxi-Matic EKA-9210SS Stainless Steel 4-Slice Toaster Oven Broiler
Pros: Very Durable, and reliable.
Cons: Basic Model, no bells or whistles
Other Thoughts: I bought this 2 1/2 years ago for work. It was on sale from Newegg for $20 at the time. It has held up just fine with heavy daily use at work, where five people use it daily. I cant believe how long it has lasted, fancier and more expensive toaster ovens usually never lasted even a year in the past.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ 2.4" Black 8GB MP3 Player SDMX20R-008GK-A57R
Pros: Great Sound, Great FM reception and Clarity, Good Battery Life
Cons: Confusing interface, tricky touchscreen
Other Thoughts: This is the second Sansa mp3 player Refurb I have bought from Newegg. The first has held up well for over 2 years and I am very pleased with it. I bough this one a s a gift for a friend and ended up using it myself for its FM radio during power loss with Hurricane Sandy. Its a refurb but looks like new. When I plugged it into my Windows 7 computer I right away got a Sansa Screen which offered to update the firmware, which I did and it was effortless. It also offered to download the user manual which is essential. Unlike the prior Sansa player I had, the interface is not intuitive and it is tricky to navigate. You will need to read the user manual. But once you get past the touchy touc controls and confusing interface, this is an excellent player. Mp3 sound quality is impressive, and the included earbuds are decent. FM reception and clarity are excellent I used this to keep updated during a prolonged 4 day power outage, and the built in lithium battery lasted all four days of intermittent usage, 2-4 hours each day. The screen is little but the display is sharp. Highly recommended once you get past the confusing interface.READ FULL REVIEW

Posted on 08/05/2012 12:10:39 AM PDT by Zhang Fei
The Alawites here are worried they could become easy targets. Historically, they have been viewed with suspicion across the Middle East by mainstream Muslims and often scorned as infidels. The Alawite sect was born in the ninth century and braids together religious beliefs, including reincarnation, from different faiths.
Many Alawites do not ever go to a mosque; they tend to worship at home or in Alawite temples that have been denied the same state support in Turkey that Sunni mosques get. Many Alawite women do not veil their faces or even cover their heads. The towns they dominate in eastern Turkey, where young women sport tank tops and tight jeans, feel totally different than religious Sunni towns just a few hours away, where it can be difficult even to find a woman in public.
The Syrian rebels hardly conceal a vicious sectarian antipathy. Khaldoun al-Rajab, an officer with the rebel Free Syrian Army, said he witnessed two Alawites in a car take a wrong turn in Homs and end up in a Sunni neighborhood. Of course they were arrested and killed by rebels, he said.
A few months ago, Mr. Eryilmaz, the member of Parliament, who belongs to an opposition party, went to see Mr. Assad in Damascus. He said that Mr. Assad was actually quite relaxed and that this whole conflict was really about religion.
Whats happening inside Syria is the Syrian leg of an international project, he said, with the Turkish government aligning with Saudi Arabia and Qatar to make this part of the Middle East more religiously radical.
He was sitting in a cafe in Antakya, a border town with a large Alawite population, and digging into a plate of baklava during the bright, sunny hours of the afternoon, when Muslims observing Ramadan usually fast.
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
Look at my people, he smiled, spreading his hands wide and encompassing families eating ice cream and one young couple nuzzling on a couch. My people are free.
Meanwhile, Syrian rebels are imposing Sharia rule on the territories they conquer. Ever since Iraqis voted in politicians who decided to eject our troops from Iraqi soil, I've stopped believing statements by neo-cons that Muslims hate our guts because their leaders lie to them. Rather, I believe that their leaders lie to them because if their leaders said anything good about us, they'd be toppled and killed in grotesque ways. The average Muslim hates our guts because of beliefs handed down from generation to generation for a thousand years. They don't see their leaders as gods - they already have a god, Allah and Allah's prophet is an enterprising and extremely successful conqueror named Muhammad. Muhammad's religious edicts are why they hate us, not whatever figurehead is in power at any given time. And any Muslim leader who says anything good about the infidel, thereby contradicting Muhammad's edict to kill the infidel wherever he is to be found, will himself be hacked to pieces. The root of the problem isn't the leadership, it's every practicing Muslim in the world.
The Alawi sect, which integrates doctrines from other religions -- in particular from Christianity -- arose from a split within the Ismailite sect. The Alawis appear to be descendants of people who lived in this region at the time of Alexander the Great. When Christianity flourished in the Fertile Crescent, the Alawis, isolated in their little communities, clung to their own preIslamic religion. After hundreds of years of Ismaili influence, the Alawis moved closer to Islam. However, contacts with the Byzantines and the Crusaders added Christian elements to the Alawis' new creeds and practices. For example, Alawis celebrate Christmas, Easter, and Epiphany.The Alawites believe that Muhammad was a usurper and that it was his brother who largely worked to create a different sect apart from Christianity and Judaism.
Alawis claim they are Muslims, but conservative Sunnis do not always recognize them as such. Like Ismaili Shias, Alawis believe in a system of divine incarnation. Unlike Ismailis, Alawis regard Ali as the incarnation of the deity in the divine triad. As such, Ali is the "Meaning;" Muhammad, whom Ali created of his own light, is the "Name;" and Salman the Persian is the "Gate." Alawi catechesis is expressed in the formula: "I turn to the Gate; I bow before the Name; I adore the Meaning." An Alawi prays in a manner patterned after the shahada: "I testify that there is no God but Ali."
According to Alawi belief, all persons at first were stars in the world of light but fell from the firmament through disobedience. Faithful Alawis believe they must be transformed seven times before returning to take a place among the stars, where Ali is the prince. If blameworthy, they are sometimes reborn as Christians, among whom they remain until atonement is complete. Infidels are reborn as animals.
It's kind of bizarre that as much worry as many of us in the West have over Islam, that the Alawites, a non-Muslim sect described by real Muslims as heretics/apostates and who have rejected the parts of Islam we most dislike, is being vilified in favor of the violent Sunni fundamentalists who killed 3000 Americans on 9/11, and have killed 7000 GI's since then.
Our government, such as it is, seems to be in line with the shia. The faction we seem to be backing in Syria is the muslim brotherhood which has the only actual organized militia inside Syria.
In fact Turkey looks like it is developing into a traditional islamist hellhole Iranian style. First time I was there circa 1995 it was looking absolutely secular. Today it is common to see Quran in public places let alone crowds on veiled women.
But you would think they did have some common ground with Muslims. OK. They eat during Ramadan, their women don't cover their face, and all that. But let's not forget the main thing: Hafez and Bashar Assad were both mass murderers, and if that doesn't make them good Muslims, I don't know what will.
I like it. Where do I go to convert?
If the radicals take over, he will be the first to lose his head.
They need to return to "Kemalism", or they will go backward 100 years in 6 months.
Resistance is futile.
It is a real problem in a free country like ours because our laws prevent us from cleansing the infection.
Michele Bachmann is right, we are being infiltrated and refuse to acknowledge it. Meanwhile the Muslim Ellison practices smash mouth diplomacy to the delight of the media. We are so-o-o diverse!
Thanks for the post and comments
Allepo (I believe that's its name) is a city where much of the action is taking place has a population the size of Chicago. John Bachelor did an informative piece on this last week where the discussion ranged from tribes as well as religious sects including Christians who are supporting Assad .
Allah doesn't like competition; ask the Manichees, Nestorian Christians, Mandaeans or the Sabians.
Allah doesn't like competition; ask the Manichees, Nestorian Christians, Mandaeans or the Sabians.
The Sunni Allah and the Shi'a Allah don't seem to like each other much, either.
This line makes them sound like the "Jobs and The Woz" of Middle Eastern religion.
Aleppo is an old city .... anyone wanting an idea of what it used to be like back in the 1930's before all the hate and discontent, might pick up a copy of In Aleppo Once by Taqui Altounyan, an Anglo-Franco-Syrian woman whose mother's name was Collingwood.

Clear gloss
Denielaにより 4 03, 2012 に掲載
Clear gloss smells good does not
AnnaLLにより 4 25, 2013 に掲載
This has a nice shine and gives me soft lips. On the down side, it does not taste very nice and isn't as sticky as I like; it needs to be re-applied quite often.
Reviewer2862168により 1 19, 2011 に掲載
A nice gloss. I got it in clear. It adds shine with a slight sticky residue which probably helps it last. It does not dry out lips--not moisturizing like a balm but gives a pretty shine that stays on for a while (unless you drink/eat) Overall,a good make-up boost. I will try a color next time. No flavor or smell, just simple and safe shine.
Like it!
Reviewer2694981により 7 03, 2011 に掲載
I like it so much! Glam shiny gloss. But on photo it looks pink a little, really it have no color. Nice sticky long lasting cover.
Love it!
Reviewer1755196により 7 12, 2013 に掲載
This lip gloss feels wonderful and makes your lips feel so smooth.
Reviewer2228761により 10 13, 2012 に掲載
Not as thick as I was hoping for and wears off pretty quickly but otherwise good.
I like it because it's organic
Reviewer1172432により 10 14, 2012 に掲載
It tastes a little strange but moisturizes quite well. I'm trying to ditch most of the cosmetics made by regular department brands and switch to stuff that is organic, so I'm quite happy to find this. Not sure why but the color of the lip gloss on iHerb is way off. The colour is in fact a very light yellow / beige, nowhere near the bright yellow in the picture.

Skip to comments.Powell: GOP Should Back Off Attempts to Lower Voter Participation
Posted on 01/21/2013 2:08:06 PM PST by bestintxas
click here to read article
The RINO party needs a Colin cleanse. Badly.
I have to admit it took a lot of strength to not type Coli-oscopy when I first started to respond.....I like your take
It is an effort to license illegals AND to get the 16 yr old to vote......a perfect fit for the dim party
May you die a slow and painful death you 5th columnist POS!
Oh how I hope you are referring to old Colon what's his name and not me........
Sorry friend. It looks like your first comment got deleted by the mods and most of the responses are coming my way. If you want to see folks reactions take a look at the replies to my post at #2....some are priceless
Colin, if you want to be a democRAT, just change your party affiliation. Time for the GOP to disinvite a few members.
My comments are for Colon Blow.
QUESTION 1: Is ANYONE out there able to name a time where he actually criticized something about Obama or the Democrats, and without also a backhand slap at the Republicans?
QUESTION 2: If Joe Biden declared that he was a Republican tomorrow, would the media then put him up as the Republican spokesman to discuss the future of the Republican Party and its positions on critical issues?
If the answer to Question 1 is NO, then the answer to Question 2 is YES - and we should just feel lucky that Biden hasn't yet come up with that strategy.
"Sorry friend. It looks like your first comment got deleted by the mods and most of the responses are coming my way."
You know what my comment was? It was that no one in the GOP wishes to stop anyone from voting other than those who vote more than once or are illegal to vote.
I also said this guy needs to go away quietly to a place where someone can take care of him, and I noted Mali is a nice place am sure.
Powell says, "We want everybody to vote"......
Well they did, all 149% of them
The only attempts to lower voter participation. Were those by Obama who urged his supporters to "get in their (our) faces" and to bring guns to the fight.
Then there was the Eric Holder method of vote suppression using the black panthers.
Or was Super Colon Blow Powell referring to increasing voter participation above 100% for Democrats as happened in parts of Cleveland and Philadelphia??
I thought as much but I have been known to be clueless ;)
You are 100% right in this case. It makes my blood boil how a man that many of us once held in such high regard as Powell could turn into a demonic Judas.
The left, for whatever reason, has blackmailed him. Watched the interview. He doesn't make sense. I believe this is what the left does to a lot of those who were once "right" and then "swich" sides...for whatever reason. One only needs to look at Patraeus. Why did Admiral Boorda really commit suicide? Perhaps he had enough integrity, above that which he was being blackmailed for, to commit suicide.
