The Symbian Foundation has announced the open-source release of its microkernel (EKA2) and supporting SDK under the Eclipse Public License (EPL). The real-time microkernel, comprising a multi-tasking architecture, manages all system resources and frameworks necessary for the co-existence of the processes and applications that make up the complete system.
"The release of the micro kernel demonstrates three vital, guiding principles of the foundation: first, the commitment of many community members to the development of the platform -- in this case, Accenture, ARM, Nokia and Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) all made contributions; second, progress in fulfilling our commitment to a complete open source release of Symbian; and third, a tangible example of providing the most advanced mobile platform in the world," said Lee Williams, Executive Director, Symbian Foundation.
To enable the community to fully utilize the open source kernel, Symbian is providing a freely available SDK that includes ARM's high-performance RVCT compiler toolchain. The SDK, which can be downloaded here, consists of:
- Open source kernel and other complementary packages
- High-performance ARM compiler toolchain (RVCT4.0): free to developers and companies of less than 20 employees
- Open source simulation environment based on QEMU
- Open source base support package for the low cost Beagle Board
- Supporting binaries
- Hardware execution environment
The Symbian Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation whose mission is to enable an open ecosystem for mobile devices. Symbian maintains the code for an open source software platform based on Symbian OS and software assets contributed by Nokia, NTT DOCOMO, and Sony Ericsson, including the S60 and MOAP(S) user interfaces. Portions of the platform's source code have already been moved to open source, under the Eclipse Public License.

When you represent Fine German Precision you're Bruce, when you flog your car like it slept with your mama you're a hoon. But what if you make something so bad you can't look away? You're Yanni.
We around here have mostly referred to the kind of JC Whitneyed, fake hood-vented cars as "lame" or "fake" or "posermobiles." They're all those things, but some people take it so far you shake your head in appreciation of how awful they've become. It's easy to be bad, but when you see the Dragon 'Vette you realize it's a lot of work to be that bad.
Reader Spencedaddy found just that when he stumbled upon this hideously modified Civic. Yellow brakes? Check. Fake hood vents on the rear fender? Check. Fake chrome locking mechanism? Check. Yanni album?!? Yes, there's a Yanni album there.
There's no better patron saint for all things fantastically miserable than Yanni.
Thanks to Spencedaddy and his friend for shooting this video and finally giving us a way to describe the epically bad "custom" cars tarnishing our streets.

Compact and convenient, it's the perfect starter kit or for travel on-the-go. Clinically-tested for improved facial contour, skin tone and reduced wrinkles in as little as 5 minutes a day.Ideal for: Beauty Seekers who want to lift, tone and contour -- lift jowls, contour jawline, reduce nasal labial folds and wrinkles, lift eye brows, open eyes.Features: Smart skin sensor for customized delivery Beautifully engineered ergonomic design Rechargeable battery Push button controls and auto shut-offKit Includes: NuFACE mini Device NuFACE Gel Primer External Power Adapter User Manual and Quick Start Guide 1 Year WarrantyWhat is Microcurrent Technology?Microcurrent is one of the hottest innovations in the anti-aging industry and is used in top spas and medical offices for facial contouring, toning and firming of aging skin. Microcurrent is a low-level current that mimics the body's natural current and can provide both instant and cumulative results. Because microcurrent works sub-sensory, the treatment is soothing and most users feel nothing at all. It is a safe and effective technology for beauty seekers who wish to attain and maintain a healthier, younger looking appearance. The results can be so dramatic that microcurrent treatments are often referred to as the "5 Minute Facial-lift." Microcurrent is capable of facial stimulation, sending soft, gentle waves through the skin, tissues and down to the facial muscles. Microcurrent has been shown to stimulate ATP production, which drives the creation of key structural proteins, such as collagen and elastin. This increased ATP also energizes the facial muscles, similar to how exercise energizes the muscles of our bodies. Unlike anywhere else on the body, the facial muscles are directly connected to the skin, so the result of energizing the muscle is often an improved, lifted appearance.Directions: PREP: Cleanse skin & apply NuFACE primer. LIFT: Glide the NuFACE mini device over face as directed. FINISH: Remove NuFACE primer with a damp cloth.IngredientsGel Primer: Water, 1, 2 Propanediol, Acrylic Acid Polymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Methylisothiazolinone, Cellulose Polymer.

Moped life on the open road. Unbridled asphalt rebellion. The thrill of the throttle, wind in your hair, roar of the engine beneath you. Breaking into an Apple Store to steal a bunch of iPads. Rebels.
Seven English idiot moped-riders smashed through a London Apple store early this morning, snatching Macs, iPads and "other similar devices," according to police. The Next Web's Matt Brian says the motorised mischief was witnessed by a blogging gent who's been camping outside the store for publicity: "Really annoying as I was having an early sleep and was out for the count."
Who is the sadder figure here: a guy stealing iPads on a moped, or a guy sleeping outside of an Apple Store by choice? Trick question: the most miserable of all are the two who got caught:
A 16-year-old boy and 21-year-old man were arrested at the scene on suspicion of burglary. Property, believed stolen from the store, was found in bags in their possession, Scotland Yard said.

Rob's WebChat on ElMundo
1. Your character in Water for Elephants share something with your character in Twilight, love. Jacob wants to offer a better life Reese's character even if it means sacrificing himself. What would you be willing to do for love?
It depends. It is a difficult question. Love usually flows freely, with some exceptions.
2. Hi Rob, first I'd like to welcome you to our country. I read the book "water for elephants" over the weekend, fell in love with the character your portray and the story. One of my biggest concerns is whether the script was closely adapted from the book or have there been big changes made. Best regards from a twilight-mom, fan of yours and of Edward Cullen. Hope you have a good time these days and you take away good memories of our country.
I think it's very close. There are a couple of characters in the book that are not in the script. And there are good changes in my opinion. The book tells of a rather dark circus, but the circus of the film is brighter with more light.
3. Having been presenting "Water for Elephants" in various cities around the world, where have you encountered the roudiest fans? the most affectionate? Thank you very much, I admire your work, your smile and your sympathy. Do not change :)
Certainly there are many differences. Speaking of fans in Spain, they get very excited and transmit a lot of energy.
4. "Are you ever gonna take a vacation between projects? You need to rest too ... Ana, Madrid
I hope so. But I will not be able to do in the coming months.
5. The performance I most enjoyed was that of Salvador Dali in LittleAshes. What place does it hold for you?
It was important. He's a fascinating character. For me it was the first role that I really got into.
More under the CUT
6. Do you consider yourself an enigmatic guy? "I do think you are, you're perfect.
I used to think it was. The more people know you, the less enigmatic you are.
7. Of the Twilight series, what was the movie that you liked best to film and why?
I think the first. It was the most fun to shoot. The second also because there wasn't as much craziness yet...
8. Is it coincidence that most of his films are based on best sellers, does that give you security when accepting a script? Thanks. Ana Pastrana.
It doesn't necessarily mean that it's gonna do well because it's based on a bestseller.
9. The first thing to greet you and congratulate you on your success, I think you're a great actor and professional. In this new film, Water for Elephants Have you ever had a scene that for a moment thought I was going to be impossible to interpret? Maybe a stunt, or a scene that made you feel personally uncomfortable. Thank you very much Robert.
The final scene in the script seemed totally impossible. It took a long time to shoot.
10. What do you like doing in your spare time?
I hardly ever have any free time, but when I do, I like to do nothing. Nothing special.
11. Thanks to the Twilight Saga has achieved a level of fame that is sometimes difficult to weather, especially when your own privacy is at stake ... Knowing the consequences of your choice, if you could go back in time, would you still take the role of Edward Cullen? Vane Acebedo (evane81) Barcelona
Yes It's been a fantastic experience. I have experienced amazing things and I'm still experiencing them thanks to the saga.
12. Hello, Robert. We could hear singing. Play the piano, guitar ... Even composing songs. "Never think" and "Let Me Sign", which appear on the soundtrack to "Twilight," and "I was broken" sound great. I guess it is difficult to do both a film career and a musical career, but do you intend release a record? Are you already working on it? A greeting and good luck in everything. Raquel
I'm writing songs. But without thinking of a CD.
13. To me (17 years), my younger sister (13), my mother (45) and grandmother (67) we love your work, your interviews, your photo session, your smile, your personality, your friends and your family. Thank you very much and please keep giving us these good times. You have united us three generations. Now our question is: How do you interest people from all different ages? Thanks, bonico:)
It has a lot to do with the Twilight character. I think I've been very lucky.
14. Hi Robert! I'm a fan following you since 2005, I've seen all your movies. After being 3 years playing Edward Cullen how are you feeling about the saga ending, do you want to get away from the character? Badajoz Kisses Cintia
Before the characters stayed with me for months. Not anymore.
15. Hi Rob! Congratulations on your latest work. Does the experience of working with two Oscar-winning actors (Christoph Waltz and Reese Witherspoon), demanded a higher level of acting? Have you noticed parallels between the life as a Hollywood actor and your performance in a nomadic circus? Thank you very much and good luck with your future projects.
Yes I always try to make things as best I can. Working with great actors makes, stimulates you to be a better actor.. get more out of you.
16. Hi Robert, how do you think your life in 10 years? If you met me, you'd surely fall in love with me! Pretty lucky!
I see myself working on other areas of the profession, developing projects. I would also like to work on my music. And be happy, of course.
17. With fame I guess you've lost a lot of normal things for an anonymous person. What would you most like to regain from your previous anonymous life? Good luck in your projects and hope that people consider you a good actor and not just a teen phenomenon. :)
I would love to live in a city center and go down the street without being recognized, enjoy the anonymity that I don't have anymore. That is a luxury.
18. Just arrived in Spain a web of contacts that promotes extramarital relationships: What is your opinion on relations with married couples and infidelity within marriage? Thank you very much
It makes no sense. I think they should break up with the person before having an affair.
19. Hi Rob. How long have you wanted to make the leap to the big screen? What do you think things are and the basic characteristics of being a good actor? A hug. Ana P87.
I began to consider working professionally at age 19. The characteristics of being a good actor vary. There is no ideal cocktail. I think the important thing is to have something to offer in a movie. You have to care about the characters, but that's not all.
20. What animal did you find it easier and more difficult to work with? "And which one would you take home? I love your work, I'm looking forward to seeing "Water for Elephants" with just the trailer I know that I love it. Greetings from Sevilla.Inma.
I think the elephant was the easiest. I would take him home. It was hard to work with the dog because he fell asleep every few minutes ...
21. Do you think the Twilight fans will like how Breaking Dawn has been shot?
I hope so. It is a very different film. The truth is, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
22. Do you miss London?
Yes a lot. But I can only go back for Christmas.
23. Hello! What is the biggest lie you have written or said about you? Does it affect you personally and professionally that some of the media investigates your private life? a lot of encouragement! Your new film looks great, of course! Greetings from Carmen.
It affects you at first because it also affects your people. But now I don't care.
24. Hi Robert, With how young you are and you have become a superstar, known throughout the world and one of the most desirable men on the planet, you still have any goal or dream to fulfill? A kiss. Cristina de Madrid.
There's always dreams to fulfill. If you do not dream ... Dream on, dream on!
25. What is it that makes you decide when choosing a script and others?
That it touches me. That it grabs me when I read it. That is fundamental.
Thank you very much for the questions. Sorry I can not still answer. I hope you go see the movie and enjoy it.

hi.. i was trying to know about FGF (fibroblast growth factor) protein... i read somewhere fish gavera is capable of repairing spinal cord bcz of this protein... is it helpful for humans too...?? i was actually about to ask this ques in forum. but i think junior members are not allowed to create new threads.. can u help me out...?
Sorry for slow reply I forget to look for messages, feeling "positive " this week!!! Feels like summer just started for me but there are only two weeks left, dang forest fires are smoking up our air to the point you can taste it. Hows your world?
Sorry I just saw your message. No not really it's just for maintenance, I really didn't see any extra function or return from it. I am a C4-C5 complete for 31 years so I never expected to.
of course Lip26. my name is Tim. how about you? i saw you are a fellow Floridian. great to hear from you.
Still do in my left ankle. Never got it fixed....the night splint never happened sadly Do you have it? Nice to meet ya!
Hey, Sorry I'm just getting back to you! It has been a really busy summer so far! To answer your question, I was hanging out with some of my roommates celebrating my friends 21st, and he decided to go sledding at a local hill. I had my snowboard on and was about to hit a jump when my friend wiped out right in front of the landing. I didn't want to hit him so I cut sideways and lost control of my board and wiped out sending myself into the trees. I kept tumbling until I guess I flew backwards into a tree. Broken wrist, 2 broken ribs, and T11 SCI.
Hey Lisa :-)
Hey! Thanks for the message! I hope we can help each other. I'm 100% wheelchair, no sensation or movement below the T11 level yet. They said little hope of walking, but by the stories i've seen around here, I'm not giving up hope! Even its just a little movement, I'll take it! What about you?
I'm new here, my husband was injured on Sept 8,2011 he was at work and fell 45 feet from tree and is now a T11- L1 parapligic. My name is Alysha I am 31 years old and we have 3 kids. I'm looking for people who know what we are going through
Tampa, Florida area
are you in Orlando
near Fort Lauderdale
Thank you. not really a cat fan either, but my two cat pics reflect my life in the military (LRP/Sniper) and my rage against what SCI has done to me.
good and you?
No, I don't mind. I'm 53, I've two kids 20 and 21. You look like you're even younger than my kids. Feb 11, 2011 was my injury - 10 months ago, no I'm not able to walk at all. I'm t8, Asia A, complete due to Schwannoma. But I'm starting to wiggle my right pinky toe so my doc is going to recommend pt next year when Insurance will pay for it again. I hope and pray that I'll be able to regain functions. If I remember, you're having lots of functions back in a short time. That's great.
I live one day at a time because if I think too much about the future, it gets too overwhelming for me. Also the future is something I have no control of so I can't worry about it too much.

Regarding number 4, I don't like that.To me it almost feels as if they're stacking the deck towards the stronger F/F teams this season. Yes it's good to have DK types, but I don't want to see 3 separate all girl teams that look like they can win. It's like the producers are trying to cast Alpha-Female teams now.
They definitely look better than Kellie and Jaime, and tougher than Dustin and Kandice.
Quote from: Joab on January 26, 2009, 10:00:08 PMThey definitely look better than Kellie and Jaime, and tougher than Dustin and Kandice.I have yet to see a female team tougher than Dustin/Kandice, although Linda/Karen come close. I don't see this team as in the same league, but time will tell.
Jaime nor Cara seem arrogant, Jaime was also a former police officer, and it takes a very self-less and strong willed person to put yourself in harms way for strangers. You know nothing about these women, and I think it is unfair to judge someone because they were or are a cheerleader and very attractive.
It's like the producers are trying to cast Alpha-Female teams now.
It sounds like Cara and Jamie have inherited the dreaded "Curse of Michael".
knock it off
the REALY important question here is, what is their favorite book?
Quote from: retard boi on January 26, 2009, 10:51:14 PMknock it off lol, sounds like big brother
HARRRRRY POTTTTTTTTTER...is the only series i've ever read
4. The all-female teams doesn't look like Meredith/Maria, Lisa/Joni, Megan/Heidi, Kat/Pat that spells early elimination.

- 6 large meaty lamb shanks (about 7 1/2 pounds)
- 1
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 6 tablespoons plus 6 cups water, divided
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup black vinegar*
- 1 (4-ounce) piece fresh ginger, peeled, sliced (about 2/3 cup)
- 12 whole star anise*
- 8 large garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
- 4 2-inch-long small dried red chiles*
- 2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder*
- 1
- green onions, thinly sliced on diagonal
Recipe Preparation
Bring large pot of water to boil. Add lamb; reduce heat to medium and boil gently 15 minutes. Drain. Set aside.
Combine sugar and 6 tablespoons water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until caramel is deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 8 minutes, depending on pan. Remove from heat; add 3 cups water, soy sauce, and black vinegar to caramel; stir over medium heat to dissolve any caramel bits. Transfer caramel mixture to very large wide pot. Add remaining 3 cups water, ginger, star anise, garlic, chiles, and five-spice powder, then lamb shanks. Bring to boil (liquid will not cover shanks completely). Reduce heat to medium-low, cover tightly, and simmer until lamb is very tender, turning occasionally, about 3 hours.
Transfer lamb to work surface. Skim any fat from sauce and discard; season sauce with salt and pepper. Remove meat from bones in bite-size pieces; discard bones. Return meat to sauce in pot. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and keep chilled.
Bring lamb and sauce to simmer; transfer to large serving bowl. Sprinkle green onions over and serve.

"Well, what do you think? What kind of question is that?" Pelini asked as he kept walking. To Kessenich's credit, he got a couple more questions in after being dressed down on national TV.

One-time purchase of all content.
- Online Version (Purchase Option)
- Comprehensive research tool in theology
- An exact reproduction of the complete text (more than 28,000 pages)
- All illustrations, maps, graphics and tables included in the printed volumes of TRE
- A comprehensive search engine which allows detailed research
- Non-restrictive DRM – allows for an unlimited number of simultaneous users campus / institution-wide
Aims and Scope
The Theologische Realenzyklopädie (TRE) [Theological Encyclopedia] is a modern specialist encyclopaedia comprising 36 volumes of text (1976–2004) representing the present state of theological research as a whole. More than a generation of scholars have collaborated in its production, to create a unique internationally-oriented reference work containing more than 2,500 articles (on over 28,000 pages of text) which stands as a document of the history of scholarship. The TRE is an indispensable tool for research, study and teaching, principally in theology, but also in its neighbouring disciplines such as history, philosophy, Jewish studies and religious studies.
The Theologische Realenzyklopädie treats the whole range of ecclesiastical and theological subjects from an ecumenical and international perspective; it deals with faith and thought, theology and church, acknowledgement and, if possible, understanding, beyond the boundaries of Christianity. Thus, in addition to the disciplines of the Old and New Testaments, church history, systematic and practical theology, the work also integrates Jewish studies, religious studies and philosophy – or rather, sees them as integral to theological study.
The users find central theological keywords (e.g. Eucharist, faith, Easter, sin, baptism) ethical topics (abortion, sexuality, death penalty), historical events (e.g. Crusades, National Socialism, Reformation) and people (from Abraham, Adam and Eve through Martin Luther, Mary, Friedrich Nietzsche to Teresa of Avila and Ulrich Zwingli) in addition to historical religious and religious studies overviews of all regions of the world (New Age, Siberian religions, Re-incarnation) and keywords from the history of religion (plant symbolism, literature and religion, pictorial arts) – the complete list of keywords can be found under www.degruyter.de/tre.
Besides an exact reproduction of the complete text, the online version presents all the illustrations, maps, graphics and tables included in the printed volumes. A comprehensive search engine allows detailed researches which extend the bounds set by the systematic referencing of the two volumes of the overall index (published 2006 and 2007).
Links to the encyclopaedia Encyclopaedia of the Bible and Its Reception (EBR ), to de Gruyter's theological journals and to external sources will gradually create an unparalleled expanding electronic corpus of theological knowledge.

Transistor Aging
You know when it's time to get a new car. Your odometer is far into six digits, perhaps the engine is burning lots of oil, or the transmission is growling. Fixing all that might well cost quite a bit more than your ancient vehicle is worth.
But what about your microprocessor? Unlike automobiles, microprocessors don't have convenient little gauges that reflect how much wear and tear they've endured. And wear they do-though you'll probably never notice it. The degradation of their transistors over time leads slowly but surely to decreased switching speeds, and it can even result in outright circuit failures.
You generally don't perceive this deterioration because semiconductor companies always play it very safe-they set the clock-speed rating of their microprocessors so conservatively that almost every one of their products will continue to operate flawlessly throughout its intended lifetime. That strategy works. But it's kind of like never taking your Ferrari out of the slow lane because you're concerned that its engine might throw a rod 10 years down the road.
Several different phenomena can degrade the transistors on chips. How those phenomena combine to diminish a chip's functioning depends on such factors as the circuit arrangement of the aging transistors as well as the voltages and temperatures they're exposed to. With all these variables, it's difficult to predict how the peak performance of a given microprocessor will decline over time.
We and other researchers are trying to improve that situation. One critical aspect of the work we did at the University of Minnesota was to develop better ways to study the different physical mechanisms of transistor aging. Today semiconductor engineers measure those aging effects primarily by examining transistors one at a time, using microscopic electrodes to probe a silicon wafer. The necessary equipment can cost tens of millions of dollars, and probing transistors individually is arduous when you're trying to gather many observations. Sometimes you can't do those measurements well, no matter how much time you spend.
We need better techniques. And we need them sooner rather than later. Microprocessors now contain billions of transistors, sometimes operating at clock speeds in excess of 3 billion cycles per second. The blazingly fast clocks mean that the transistors are exposed to lots of heat, which accelerates their decline. Another worry is that there are precariously small voltage differences between supply levels and the threshold at which the transistors turn on. Also, various improvements in the way silicon logic is fabricated have introduced new concerns about degradation. And transistors scaled down to today's tiny dimensions experience more variation than ever in their operating conditions, which in turn leads to great differences from one transistor to another in how fast they wear out.
With better ways to measure transistor aging, chipmakers could let their microprocessors run faster-appreciably faster-than they do now. In the future it might even be possible to use these techniques to build circuits into microprocessors that continuously measure the subtle effects of aging and adjust clock frequency or operating voltages so that the transistors, old or new, could always run at peak speeds.

Tory Burch Perfume and Cosmetics Launch
You Can Finally Get Your Hands On Tory Burch Beauty!
Tory Burch has joined the ranks of multifaceted fashion brands with the addition of fragrance, color cosmetics, and body care to her repertoire that just launched online today. The designer has thought long and hard about her beauty venture, putting a lot of her personal touches on the project. "I was going for tomboy meets feminine," Burch told WWD. "I wanted the vetiver because not only did my father wear it, I did, too, and so did my brothers." The perfume is a mix of zesty top notes like grapefruit and mandarin that melts down into a floral jasmine and tuberose. It finishes with her family favorite, vetiver, and sandalwood. In addition to a spritz, the scent also comes in solid form.
Typically, designers first get their feet wet with a fragrance then might move on to cosmetics (take Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors for example). But Tory is jumping in all at once. On Sept. 25, she will also release a sampling of cosmetics, including a neutral lipstick, a rosy lip and cheek duo, a bronzer/blush palette, and a retractable brush. "I wanted to do a capsule that was quick and easy," Burch said. "I don't have a lot of time to get ready in the morning, so we did a lip and cheek in one — that's how I often do it; I'll put lipstick on my cheeks [as blush] if I only want to bring one thing out with me." Burch will also launch a body cream, lotion, shower gel, and candle at that time (yes, she has been quite busy). Prices range from $32 for the lipstick to $150 for the solid perfume. The perfume and cosmetics are both wrapped in vintage-inspired packaging in Burch's signature orange and gold hues. You can order the perfume and preorder her makeup products now at toryburch.com.

The cold weather should pass by Saturday, making it a good night for some star gazing. At least that is the hope of the Northeastern Junior College Math, Science and Outdoor Club as it makes final plans for the Spring Star Party to take place this Saturday night. Northeastern Colorado's open spaces and big horizons make it a perfect place to explore the universe.
As always, the event will be held at the west end of the Chimney View Campground at North Sterling State Park. The organizers will have telescopes up and ready to start using at 7:45 p.m. There is a $7 per vehicle entrance fee to the park; however the party is free once you arrive.
Please look to the sky before you drive. If you see overcast so heavy that it appears a storm is imminent, the star party will not take place. If there is only moderate overcast and the weather seems decent otherwise, the telescopes provided will help everyone see past any cloud cover.
According to David Coles, science professor at Northeastern who teaches the astronomy classes, the star party is a great outing for a family, and it is open to anyone who wants to attend. Be sure and bring a jacket or plan ways to otherwise bundle up as the night air out in this open area can quickly become cold. The telescopes are usually up and available for public use until about 9:30 p.m.

Today the Turks call the Hippodrome At Meydan, which means horse square. originally it was the Circus Maximus. With a length of 400m there was space for 100000 people. Septimus Severus started the construction in 203 and 120 years later Konstantin the Great enlarged it. This was the place not only for circus games, but also for parties, political demonstrations and even riots. In 1203 a big fire destroyed the city and the Hippodrome decayed. After the conquest of Konstantinopel by Sultan Mehmet Fatih in 1253 the remains of the Hippodrome were used as quarry to build mosques and palaces.
Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople; see the other names of Istanbul) is the largest city of Turkey and the third largest city in the world. The city covers 27 districts of the Istanbul province.It is located on the Bosphorus Strait and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European (Thrace) and on the Asian (Anatolia) side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330–395), the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire (395–1204 and 1261–1453), the Latin Empire (1204–1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453–1922). The city was chosen as joint European Capital of Culture for 2010. The historic areas of Istanbul were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1985.

You'd think this would be a heady moment for California legislative Democrats.
For the first time since 1883, they have a two-thirds majority in each chamber and a fellow Democrat in the governor's chair. Is this the best moment in memory or what?
Apparently it's not good enough for Democrats to fall into line. With a two-thirds super majority in each chamber, Democrats can pass meaningful legislation -- including new taxes -- without Republican opposition.
U.S. & World
In a state where social programs and public education have suffered from severe budget shortfalls, this would seem to be the time for Democrats to raise sorely needed revenues and put the state back on course.
But they remain very divided on what to do and how to do it -- if they intend to do anything at all. Some are off and running with substantive revenue proposals.
San Francisco state Sen. Mark Leno wants to enact legislation that would reduce the required vote on local parcel tax proposals to 55 percent from the current two-thirds requirement.
Los Angeles-area state Sen. Ted Lieu wants to triple the motor vehicle fee as a way to partially restore lost funds.
As far these leaders are concerned, it's time to move forward with an ambitious, proactive agenda.
Others aren't quite so enthused. Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, probably the most effective Democratic leader in the legislature, has a more cautious three-part proposal that would use one-third of any surplus (a big assumption!) to pay down debt, one-third to replenish state social welfare and public education programs, and one-third for a rainy day fund.
Then there's Gov. Jerry Brown, who has promised to veto any new revenue proposals without approval of the people via a statewide ballot proposition, a course he charted with the passage of Proposition 30.
Could the Democratic supermajority overturn the governor's veto?
Yes, although that assumes a unity that has historically escaped legislative Democrats. So, what began as a euphoric celebration a month ago has become a time of uncertainty.
Democrats have all the marbles to play the game on their terms, but apparently they are afraid to shoot.
Which underscores a fundamental point: A supermajority doesn't mean much if its members don't act.
If Democrats become too tentative and remain without purpose, they'll lose a golden opportunity. And this time they won't be able to pin any blame on the Republicans.

The HR10-250 can be great for OTA HDTV. Its sensitivity is on a par with more recent tuners, but it is relatively poor at multi-path rejection and can require a lot of antenna-fiddling if your location has that problem.
Obviously a big advantage is that the HR10-250 fits well into a hacked DTivo/SA Tivo home network.
I have three HR10-250s in my home and am very happy with them.

Dahle Flesjaa Ends Season
Defending world champion Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa (Multivan Merida) has announced through her personal website that her season is over, and that she will, therefore, not be defending her cross-country world title in Fort William, Scotland next month.
On www.gunnrita.com she says: Another week of training camp here in Italy is complete. I'm still not feeling totally well, but things are moving forwards. 10 weeks with hardly any exercise has left me feeling out of shape and I have to accept that the racing season is over for me.
So I won't be participating in any more competitions this season. After such a long absence from training I need time to rebuild my strength. It would be starting at the wrong end if I was to start racing again in a couple of weeks. The highest priority is to allow my system a full recovery, get in a few normal training weeks, and then take on the winter season in October.
The absence of Dahle Flesjaa cracks the competition for the rainbow jersey wide open, with World Cup leader Irina Kalentyeva (Topeak-Ergon), Spain's Marga Fullana (Spiuk), Sabine Spitz (Ghost) of Germany and Canada's Marie-Helene Premont (Rocky Mountain-Haywood) all having a good chance at victory.

Earlier this year, the Peeps 'Public of Chizza presented Cuban cigar chomper Fidel Castro with a superfly Great Wall Hover limo. In honor of the Guangzhou motor show happening on the other side of the globe, let's check the shit out, read me? Based on the Hover SUV, which may or may not be a reverse-engineered Mitsubishi, the Spirit limo is 22' long and is powered by a Mitsu-sourced 2.4-liter four (carumba!), and is fitted with leather seating and accoutrements, a bar with refrigerator, flatscreen TV with DVD, and a stereo system with MP3 capability. Plus, we'd imagine, a silver-plated holder for the people's cigar. Click through for more pics. [Thanks to Ian for the tip.]

After the good results I got with the Service Menu on the Acer GD245HQ / GD235HZ in terms of reducing ghosting a few days ago, I've decided to try the same approach with the Samsung 2233RZ and ViewSonic VX2268WM. Unfortunately the Service Menu on the Samsung does not offer a lot of options to play with, but the story with the ViewSonic is completely different… the Service Menu it has is quite extensive, but unfortunately nothing else besides lowering the brightness level helped in reducing ghosting here. I'm saying that with a bit of disappointment and to warn you that there is not specific need to tweak the options available in the Service Menu, especially if you don't know what you are doing! On the photo above you can see how the Service Menu on the ViewSonic VX2268WM looks like and what options it has available…
Now, on the first photo the Service Menu looks just fine, while the monitor is running at 60Hz refresh rate, but when you switch to 120Hz and call up the Service Menu it will look as on the photo above… it gets a bit messed up, although fully functional, and it is harder to change the options, so if you want to adjust something better do it at 60Hz.
With that said lets get to the point on how you can access the service menu on the ViewSonic VX2268WM, just another waring that you should not play with options that you are not well aware of their functions. It is best to take a photo of the initial settings, so that if you mess things up you will be able to return them back to their normal levels, before you started messing up with the values.
Accessing the Service Menu on ViewSonic VX2268WM:
– You start by turning off the monitor if not already off
– Press and hold the first menu button and then press the power on button
– Wait a few seconds while holding the 1st button pressed (the leftmost one), until you see the image on the screen
– Press the first button as you usually do to call up the menu and you should see an additional option at the top
– By default the new F icon at the top is selected, so you can press 1 to enter the service menu
– When you finish with the service menu just press the power button to turn off the monitor and then again to turn it on normally

Part of capturing those memorable moments from your wedding day involves picking the right locations to photograph. Without a doubt, in the Washington D.C. area, there are a great number of ideal places to pick from. We've compiled a list of some of the top spots where you can best capture those cherished memories.
Where it's located: Enter at 3501 New York Ave. NE or at 24th and R Streets NE, off of Bladensburg RoadContact: (202) 245-4543About this photo locale: Located just ten minutes from the Capitol Building, the United States National Arboretum is a center for the study of numerous collections of trees and plant life. Within the 446-acre grounds, there are 400-year-old bonsai trees that have received worldwide acclaim.What you should know: Parking and entrance to the arboretum are completely free. The arboretum is open every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. except on Christmas. However, wedding photography for couples who aren't planning to have their wedding at the arboretum requires an application and $30 fee. You must send your application in at least two weeks prior to your event date. Wedding photography will take place amongst the 22 Corinthian columns called the National Capitol Columns.
Where it's located: 3101 Wisconsin Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20016-5098Contact: (202) 537-6200About this photo locale: It took 83 years to build the Washington National Cathedral into the impressive Gothic building that it is today. Featuring architecture true to construction during the Middle Ages, the cathedral has a cross-shaped floor plan, flying buttresses, and is made entirely of stone. Outdoors, photo opportunities include the Bishop's garden at the south of the cathedral, as well as the visually delightful herb garden.What you should know: It's always a good idea to check ahead of time to find out if the site is accessible. Events do occur throughout the year that may prevent you from fully accessing the areas you'd like to get to. Free underground parking is available to visitors on Sundays from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. On Saturdays, you have to pay a $4 fee to park in the garage.
Where it's located: 1000 Jefferson Drive SW
Washington, D.C. 20013-7012Contact: (202) 633-1000About this photo locale: A mix of old world architecture and elegant garden grounds, the Smithsonian Institution Building, commonly referred to as the Castle, contains plenty of details to make for enchanting wedding photos. The Castle is a red sandstone, Norman-style building fronted by the vibrant Enid A. Haupt Garden. The Haupt Garden, which is actually the roof of three of the Smithsonian museums, is a four-acre public garden comprised of brick paths, fountains, and cast-iron carriage gates.What you should know: Springtime is by far the best time to capture the flowers in full bloom, though every season offers something beautiful for the photographic lens to capture. Parking is difficult, as expected. You can try to find parking around Independence Avenue or Constitution Avenue.
Where it's located: Enter 1500 Maine Ave. SW. As you approach the Tidal Basin area, look for signs that direct you to lots on the north side of the basin.Contact: (Festival Hotline) (202) 547-1500About this photo locale: Built late in the 19th century, the Tidal Basin is an artificial inlet connected to the Potomac River. From this location, you can capture shots of Japanese pagodas amongst cherry blossom trees and find visitors in paddleboats taking an idyllic ride through the water. You can also capture a view of the magnificent Jefferson Memorial here.What you should know: The cherry blossoms bloom in the spring from mid-March to mid-April. The area tends to be busy with tourists as well as locales, so just keep that in mind. You may want to avoid the area during the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade. Parking close to the blossoms can be a challenge. Peak visiting times tend to be weekends and during the middle of the day.
Where it's located: Georgetown Visitor Center
1057 Thomas Jefferson Street NW
Washington, DC 20007Contact: (202) 653-5190About this photo locale: The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, often called the C & O Canal, runs 184 1/2 miles from Georgetown into Maryland. Once intended as a commerce gateway from Washington D.C. to Ohio, today, the national historical park offers ample opportunities for nostalgic photos along its path. Row houses, mule-drawn boats, and rustic surroundings give the canal a character that would do any wedding photo justice.What you should know: You can get to the canal by walking about a block south from M Street on Thomas Jefferson Street. If you want to catch some photos on an actual boat, you can do so at Georgetown. The canal is open during daylight hours. Check ahead of time with the visitor's center to see if there is a seasonal schedule.

Rays must put tough start in the past and rebuild
ST. PETERSBURG -- This is how bad it's going for the struggling, injury-riddled Tampa Bay Rays: With his team trailing the Yankees, 4-0, in the second inning on Thursday night, with runners on first and second and nobody out, Sean Rodriguez hit into a triple play.
If ever there was a sign that these are tough times for the Rays, the triple play defined it.
And then there was David Price. After losing three straight games on the road and with three integral parts of the team's once-vaunted rotation disabled, Tampa Bay needed a strong performance from its ace. To say it wasn't the lefty's night is putting it mildly.
Price, who entered the game with a 2-0 record and a 2.91 ERA, struggled from the moment he took the mound and Jacoby Ellsbury greeted him with an infield single.
After two innings, Price was down, 4-0, and had allowed six hits. He left after five, trailing, 6-1, with the Yankees having added to their lead thanks to back-to-back homers by Alfonso Soriano and Brian McCann.
Price allowed a career-high six extra-base hits, and his five-inning stint was his second shortest against the Yanks.
The Yankees, who are atop the American League East -- the division many predicted the Rays would win -- rolled to their fifth straight victory, a 10-2 decision.
With Matt Moore scheduled for Tommy John surgery on his left elbow next week, and Jeremy Hellickson and Alex Cobb out until at least June, the heat was on Price to stop the bleeding. But more important, an offense that has been anemic since an Opening Day victory needed to reverse its glaring lack of production.
A year ago, the Rays began the season losing 10 of their first 15, but ended with an AL Wild Card berth. With Thursday night's jarring setback, they're 7-9 and have three more games against the Yanks to complete the series.
It was mentioned to manager Joe Maddon that stumbling in the early weeks of a season complicated by injuries to three key starters and a lack of productive hitting can have a huge psychological effect.
"It probably does, I don't deny that," said Maddon. "When you have all these adverse moments, like triple plays, line drives being caught and then your best pitcher has a bad night -- it just happens sometimes.
"When you start crying about it, feeling sorry for yourself, that's when it gets more profound. For me, we just throw this game in the waste basket and come out and play tomorrow."
So often when teams suffer devastating injuries and the hitters slump, it's human nature to ratchet up the effort, to reach for a little extra.
Maybe that's the mind-set Price took to the mound, realizing that his teammates were counting heavily on him to reverse the skid. He doesn't agree.
"I've been positive," Price said 30 minutes after the game. "I get to play once a week. My job between starts is to be positive. It doesn't matter how we're playing; I try to be perfect every day out there.
"How we play, or are playing, doesn't dictate how I throw the ball. This is one start. Everybody's going to have their bad days. We didn't have a particularly good day as a team today. So be it."
Maddon put it this way: "David really didn't have the sharpness with his breaking pitch he normally does. We're getting 0-2 and 1-2 counts on hitters, and we're not putting people away, and we're giving up two-out runs."
Yankees skipper Joe Girardi said that getting off to a good start against Price was the key.
"We made him work really hard those first two innings," Girardi said. "I think he was over 40 pitches the first two innings, and when you're able to do that, sometimes guys will fatigue a little bit earlier. We just had some big hits tonight."
Tampa Bay has scored just 16 runs in its past 10 games, the fewest over a 10-game stretch since the team's inaugural season of 1998.
Said Rodriguez, whose homer in the seventh inning off winning pitcher CC Sabathia gave the Rays their second run: "It's human nature to try to find more, to try and dig yourself out of that hole you might have dug yourself into.
"It's baseball -- you're going to have your ups and downs. Sometimes you don't want to struggle altogether, but sometimes you do, and that's what's happening to us."
Evan Longoria, who had two of Tampa Bay's seven hits, said before the game, "We're hitting the ball hard, taking good at-bats. It's just not going our way right now. That's a kind of a copout. It's easy to say we're not getting the breaks and just chalk it up to that. But at a certain point, you have to make your own luck, so we have to go up there, continue to grind out good at-bats and believe that it's going to happen for us."
Now, with Erik Bedard, recently summoned from the Minors, and Cesar Ramos getting starts in two of the remaining three games against the Yanks, somebody is going to have to reverse the pattern.
"I don't want anybody trying to do more. Period," said Maddon. "I don't like the term 'stepping up.' That always indicated to me you've been holding back."
So Thursday night's debacle is in the waste basket. Now what the Rays must do its pick up the pieces and rebuild their season.

American Indians (or Native Americans) were the indigenous Human inhabitants of the North and South American continents of Earth. Those areas were heavily colonized by more technologically advanced Humans from other continents after the 15th century, leading to the destruction of many indigenous cultures.
Some Native American cultures experienced a resurgence in the 23rd and 24th centuries. They adapted to their times and circumstances – some tribes included alien species such as the Ferengi, Klingons, and Vulcans as totem spirits. (TNG: "Journey's End")
In the distant past, extraterrestrials known as Sky Spirits came from the Delta Quadrant to Earth, where they genetically altered a group of primitive Humans. These inheritors carried a similar affinity to the land as the Sky Spirits and spread across the globe, giving rise to the Native American and Amazonian peoples. The Sky Spirits returned but eventually found no trace of their inheritors. Descendants of their inheritors who still had the Sky People appearance, the Rubber Tree People, were however still living in hiding on Earth in the Central American rain forest even in the 24th century. (VOY: "Tattoo")
Kukulkan, a benevolent alien being, visited the Mayans and influenced their architecture and agricultural development. Kukulkan was worshiped as a god by the Mayans who encountered him. Kukulkan gave them their remarkably accurate calendar and told them to build a city according to its cycles. On the date the city was finished, Kukulkan was supposed to return. The Mayans built their city, but Kukulkan never appeared, as they had only built parts of the design-they never finished the energy amplification system that was supposed to signal Kukulkan. Kulkukan was remembered in many Native American cultures, including the Aztec, Comanche, and Toltec peoples. (TAS: "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth")
A group of alien anthropologists, called the Preservers, visited Earth several centuries before 2268. The Preservers transplanted a group of Native Americans, including people from the Delaware, Navajo, and Mohican tribes, to a class M planet where they were able to live undisturbed. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")
Scenes of Native American life, including tepees and a canoe, could be seen in the resetting time stream as the timeline realigned itself. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
Davy Crockett was a celebrated "Indian fighter". (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
Native American tribes had traditions about displays of dominance, such as "counting coup," which were noted by Data when observing similar behaviors in the Ligonians. (TNG: "Code of Honor")
By the 2270s, Starfleet permitted Native Americans to express their culture as part of their uniforms. At the time of the V'ger threat, at least three Native Americans were among the crew of the USS Enterprise. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
One group of Native Americans left Earth in the mid-22nd century, dissatisfied with changing Terran attitudes towards nature. After two centuries of searching, they created a new colony on Dorvan V, although the system it was in was disputed ground. With the Federation-Cardassian Treaty, the planet was ceded to the Cardassians, and the USS Enterprise-D was sent to relocate the tribe. The tribe however decided to stay and leave the Federation. (TNG: "Journey's End")
Chakotay once jokingly deduced that Seven of Nine had never assimilated any Indian scouts, based on her missing a set of footprints. (VOY: "Demon")

At least two Native Americans have been seen to be a member of the Maquis (one unnamed and the other being Commander Chakotay).
Jamake Highwater served as a consultant on Native American culture to Star Trek: Voyager. Though he claimed American Indian ancestry, he was in fact of Eastern European Jewish background.
In an interview with Robert Fletcher – published as part one of "The Star Trek Costumes", in the February 1980 edition of Fantastic Films – the Shamin priests seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture were described as "like the society of America's western Indian civilizations", despite no apparent contact with travelers from Earth.

That's why I kind of lean towards Tavon Austin, my "spidey sense" tingles big time when I watch him play- the same kind of vibe I got last year from Irvin and Wilson. Something about him just seems to fit this team's philosophy, even if I can't explain it yet. He's also the one WR in this draft that gives Seattle something they don't already have. Part of it is probably because Austin will slide in the draft because of size concerns, and this FO has been very "moneyball" at snagging players at value due to size concerns, both big and small.
