Website: http://www.momentive.com/Internet/
Company Description
Momentive was formed by Apollo Management in 2006 when it acquired the GE Silicones business. Hexion is also part of Momentive. It operates as Momentive Specialty Chemicals, Inc. The product line includes quartz and ceramics in addition to silicones and sealants, as well as phenolic and amino resins, acrylic monomers, unsaturated polyester resins, coatings, composite resins, epoxy resins, uv curable coatings, textile resins, wax products, and forest product resins.

The formaldehyde will be supplied by pipeline. Momentive claims to be the world's largest producer of formaldehyde.

This was a nice GLBT neighborhood place to have a reasonably priced drink and dance to some good music. Never once felt uncomfortable or that others were trying to figure out who the "new folks" were.
The one flaw is that sometimes it is DEAD. Certain nights, seasons, or just time spans it can be completely empty. I went there once and until around 10PM, I was the only person there. This wasn't bad though, because the bartender was really friendly and played some pool with me. The staff are always very polite, helpful, and well-trained.... More
Well, Styxx maybe not the best in Portland but ,sure do have some interesting stuff going on all the time, I enjoy and have a good time there as always , dont expect so much in maine anyway, so gay night club is styxx I would recommend to come out and express yourself ,
If you want to go out dancing and have a great time, then Styxx is where its at! Me and my friends always go on a Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday night and we have so much fun! The Music is ALWAYS good, as well as all the lights they have!! No other bar has 360 speakers around their dance floor... More
I would not recommend this place to anybody. Disgusting bathrooms, surly and rude staff. The dance floor was all sticky and it smelled strange.

New online resource highlights tools for value chain analysis
Ensuring that small-scale farmers and producers enjoy a bigger piece of the financial pie is the aim of a new web resource on agricultural development.
The Value Chains Knowledge Clearinghouse, led by the CGIAR Research Program on Policies, Institutions, and Markets, is based on the concept of Value Chains Development (VCD). The approach seeks to build new or strengthen existing commercial ties between two or more actors, such as businesses and consumers. Several NGOs, donors, and governments have adopted VCD as a key element of their rural poverty reduction strategies.

Mysterious success
Understanding Bangladesh's rapid reduction in undernutrition
As a country's income level rises, undernutrition rates are expected to fall. However, for years, the mystery of South Asia's rising income levels existing concurrently with stubbornly high levels of child undernutrition has stumped researchers. Varying theories have flagged lack of proper sanitation, genetics, poor diets and food systems, and ineffective nutrition programming as culprits for the region's lack of progress in reducing undernutrition. Bangladesh, though, remains a puzzling—yet positive–exception to this "Asian enigma."

The company offers "multi-vendor service orchestration," which essentially means that it provides a software layer that lets you manage a wide range of networking devices via a single interface. "Our goal is to help to eliminate the bottleneck caused by operational complexity within the network," Cisco senior VP Hilton Romanski said in a statement. "The acquisition of Tail-f … will extend Cisco's innovation in network function virtualization." Clearly, Cisco plans to own software-defined networking (SDN) just like it owns networking. Tail-f is one of 10 hot SDN startups featured in The SDN Revolution: An Ecosystem Report on VB Intel This deal brings Cisco's recent SDN acquisitions to well over a billion dollars, as last year the company purchased another startup, Insieme, for $900 million. SDN has been compared to Android versus Cisco's iOS, as it disaggregates networking hardware and software and allows multiple players to enter the field with different innovations. As such, it's an existential threat to Cisco, but one to which the company is responding aggressively — and acquisitively. "Tail-f has filled an important niche in the new SDN networking approach, the goal of which is to build a new software-based network built of open, dynamic components," industry analyst Scott Raynovich says. "Cisco has shown it wants to move fast … the company is serious about building out an SDN ecosystem — or at least beating others to the punch." Cisco says that Tail-f's software will accelerate its cloud virtualization strategies while "supporting Cisco's long-standing commitment to open standards, architectures, and multi-vendor environments." That statement itself, with words like open standards and multi-vendor, is evidence of how big the SDN threat really is to Cisco's estimated $20 billion earnings from its leadership position in the legacy networking market. Cisco also says the acquisition will position it better for helping companies manage the explosion of people, devices, and sensors being interconnected across the "Internet of everything." Tail-f is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and last took funding of $6.3 million in 2011, primarily from the Swedish VC firm SEB Venture Capital. Tail-f employees will join Cisco's cloud and virtualization group. The acquisition is expected to close in Cisco's fourth quarter. "We're looking forward to bringing our open, standards-based and model-driven service orchestration NCS software to more customers and partners as part of Cisco's global presence," Tail-f CEO Fredrik Lundberg said in a company blog post. More information: Cisco Systems Cisco is an American-based multinational corporation that designs and sells consumer electronics, networking and communications technology and services. Headquartered in San Jose, California, Cisco has more than 65,000 employees and an... read more » Powered by VBProfiles

I thought that I would check out how this BLOG thing works and get a little more work on the site.
This drawing was done a very long time ago for a chance to be published in the Digital Webbing Presents anthology series from Digitalwebbing.com. I had worked this one over in color (color done in Photoshop) but unfortunately, the drawing wasn't chosen and I didn't draw anything for a while after that. The pencils were darkened in Photoshop for contrast.
This one cost me about 18 hours of time, including the color, over the course of about 3 days.
When I look at this one I think that I should get into more color work but I have to say that just getting to the drawing table is like pulling teeth. Top that off with "this one was a lot of hard work" and you have a recipe for never drawing again! :D
I do remember that there was a little debate about my color choice for the brains. Weather they're yellow or grey doesn't really bother me so much as the fact that I didn't cover them in blood and red tissue, certainly that would have lead to greater authenticity of scene, but se la vi.
@nszerdy: Shit happens and there are always artists that are better than you out there :) That's why you have to work hard. Thanks for the comment.
@Press Oblivion: I hear ya! Sometimes it is a guy with more talent--but sometimes someone just gets lucky with a better idea or layout--or in some cases it's a friend of the guy doing the comic--or his son--That's usually something you can't compete with--you've obviously got the talent--- I agree just "work hard" and hope for the best!

US 8118771 B2 Abstract A method for filling needleless injector capsules with liquid drug, whereby dissolved gas within the drug is replaced by a less soluble gas in order to reduce the inclusion of gas bubbles, or to prevent the growth of bubbles during storage and thereby prevent breakage of the capsules.
Claims(9) 1. A method of reducing breakage of a needle-free injector drug capsule, comprising:
preventing growth of bubbles in a liquid drug during storage by sparging the liquid drug with an inert gas having a solubility of 0.5 cm3 to 25 cm3 in 100 cm3 of the liquid drug to obtain a sparged liquid drug;
loading the sparged liquid drug into a glass capsule strengthened with ion exchange; and
storing the capsule.
2. The method of
3. The method as claimed in
sealing the capsule in an atmosphere of the inert gas prior to loading the capsule.
4. The method as claimed in
5. The method as claimed in
6. The method as claimed in
7. The method as claimed in
8. The method as claimed in
forcing the inert gas through a filter comprising apertures of not more than 0.2 μm prior to contacting the gas with the liquid drug.
9. The method as claimed in
Description This application is a continuation application of Ser. No. 10/496,357, filed Jun. 4, 2007, which application claims the benefit of priority to International Application Serial No. PCT/GB02/05220 filed Nov. 21, 2002 (now publication No. WO 03/045479) which application claims the benefit of priority to GB 0127942.1 filed Nov. 21, 2001, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety noting that the current application controls to the extent there is any contradiction with any earlier applications and to which applications we claim priority under 35 USC �120. Needleless injectors are used as an alternative to needle-type hypodermic injectors for delivering liquid dings and other substances through the skin and into the underlying tissues. The drug is dispensed from a drug capsule having a piston which is driven with sufficient force that the drug is expelled at sufficiently high pressure to pierce the skin. Typically, the drug capsule will comprise a hollow cylindrical chamber with a discharge orifice at one end, and a piston slidingly and sealingly located at the other. The piston is caused to move towards the orifice to dispense the drug by a ram, powered by a variety of means such as a spring, pressurised gas or pyrotechnic charge. The orifice diameter can vary from about 0.08 mm to about 0.7 mm, according to the application. The more successful and controllable injectors employ a two-phase injection pressure profile; the first is a short but very high pressure pulse to puncture the skin and the second is at a lower pressure to dispense the drug through the hole thus formed. Typically, the first pressure pulse will be of around 100 microsecond duration, and have a peak pressure of 300-500 bar, and the second will last for around 200 milliseconds with a pressure of around 100 bar. The duration of the second phase will vary according to the volume to be delivered. It is highly preferred that the drug capsule is transparent, so that the contents may be checked for accuracy and contamination. This requirement has placed a severe limitation on the types of materials that may be used, because the transparent material must be strong enough to withstand the extremely high pressures, and must not adversely affect the drug. As a consequence, virtually all of the needleless injectors proposed use a plastic drug capsule, typically made from polycarbonate. However, such materials are generally unsuitable for storing the drug, because they absorb water from the drug, or are permeable to oxygen, or react in some way with the drug. Therefore, drug capsules made from plastics are required to be filled immediately before use, a rather inconvenient procedure, with risk of inaccurate filling and contamination, and requiring training of the operators. The only material with a long history of satisfactory drug storage is borosilicate glass, but this is very brittle and hence there have been few injectors with glass capsules. The obvious problem with glass capsules is that particles of glass are ejected if they burst. The underlying causes of the weakness of glass capsules are tiny flaws which occur during manufacture, such as scratches, and cracks through incorrect control of temperatures. The �Intraject� manufactured by Weston Medical Limited is a pre-filled single-use disposable needleless injector, having one of the very few glass capsules suitable for long term drug storage. This is a borosilicate drug capsule of up to 1 ml capacity, made to exceedingly close manufacturing specifications, and further improved by ion exchange strengthening. The breakage rate for these capsules is exceptionally low, but it is desirable to reduce this still further. Several attempts have been made to reduce the breakage rate for these capsules. For example, further layers of material have been added to the capsule to provide increased physical strength (see international patent publication WO96/15821 in the name of Weston Medical Limited). However, this approach increases significantly the manufacturing costs of the capsule. An alternative approach has been to reduce the number of flaws in the material of the drug capsule, particularly around the discharge orifice. One method of doing this has been to manufacture the capsule without an orifice and then use a laser to drill precisely the orifice (see international patent publication WO01/58638 in the name of Weston Medical Limited). Despite these advances, there is still a requirement for further reducing the incidence of breakages. Accordingly, the present invention provides a needleless injector drug capsule containing a liquid drug wherein the liquid drug has been purged by an inert gas having a low solubility in the liquid drug. Surprisingly, it has been found that the presence of small bubbles of gas previously in solution encourage breakages in the drug capsule and that removal or reduction of these solute gases by purging with a gas having a low solubility reduces the incidence of breakages. The capsule is preferably made from borosilicate glass, and which may have undergone ion exchange strengthening. Preferably the inert gas has a solubility of 0.5 to 25 cm3 in 100 cm3 of the liquid drug. Preferably the inert gas is one or more of helium, argon, neon, krypton, xenon, nitrogen, one or more chlorofluorocarbons and/or one or more hydrofluorocarbons and particularly preferably helium. In another embodiment of the invention, a needleless injector drug capsule is provided containing a liquid drug wherein the liquid drug has been purged by a gas having a substantially constant solubility in the liquid drug over a range of temperatures corresponding to the storage temperatures for the liquid drug. This range of temperatures may be 0� C. to 30� C. In another embodiment the present invention provides a method for filling a needleless injector drug capsule with a liquid drug, the method comprising purging the liquid drug with an inert gas having a low solubility in the liquid drug, and filling the capsule. Preferably the purging process is carried out at a temperature corresponding to the lowest solubility of the inert gas in the liquid drug. Preferably the inert gas is helium and the purging process is then earned out at 25� C. to 35� C. Preferably, prior to contact with the liquid drug, the inert gas is forced through a filter having apertures of not more than 0.2 μm. The liquid drug is preferably stirred during purging. In another embodiment, the invention provides a method for filling a needleless injector drug capsule with a liquid drug comprising purging the liquid drug with a gas having a substantially constant solubility in the liquid drug over a range of temperatures corresponding to the storage temperatures for the liquid drug. Example of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Careful investigation of the causes of breakage of the drug capsule has revealed that, in addition to manufacturing flaws in the glass, bubbles of gas (normally air) entrained in the drug may result in the fracture of the capsule. The high initial pressure in the injection cycle causes bubble collapse resulting in localised high stress in the region of the discharge orifice of the capsule (where the bubbles tend to collect). Filling under vacuum will practically eliminate the bubbles of ah present in the liquid drug at the tune of filling, but dissolved gas tends to come out of solution during storage. Bubbles of up to 2 μl volume do not appear to cause breakage, but above this, the incidence of breakage rises with increasing bubble size. The present invention seeks to reduce the evolution of gas bubbles from the drug by replacing the dissolved gas by a gas of low solubility in the liquid drug. Interestingly, the applicant has found that alternative methods of removing dissolved gas, e.g. by applying a vacuum to the liquid or sonication of the liquid do not work for certain drug types. Applying a vacuum, for example, has the drawback of removing volatile components which may be part of the drug, and water, in addition to the dissolved gas. This can result in an unacceptable change in the drug formulation. Sonication results in �hot-spots� in the liquid which can thermally degrade the drug. The applicant has found that purging a liquid drug with an inert gas, such as helium (He), effectively displaces dissolved gases, particularly oxygen and nitrogen, and that the drug may then be stored within a drug capsule without the risk of gas bubbles appearing during storage at normal temperatures. Pre-treatment of the drug product by sparging with low solubility gas species minimises the total mass of dissolved gas. By selecting a sparging gas with a low variation in solubility of the gas in the drug as a function of temperature, the propensity for those gases to come out of solution during temperature cycling is also minimised. Helium is one gas satisfying this condition. Other gases may be used according to the application such as neon, argon, krypton or xenon. Other inert gases of low solubility may also be used, including nitrogen as well as chlorofluorocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons. Plots are shown in The term �inert� used herein denotes a gas which will not react with the liquid drug at normal temperatures and pressures. The term �low solubility� denotes a solubility of the inert gas in the liquid drug which reduces the incidence of bubbles in the liquid drug. Preferably the solubility is from 0.5 to 25 cm3 in 100 cm3 of the liquid drug, preferably 0.9 to 5.0 cm3 in 100 cm3 of the liquid drug and particularly preferably from 0.9 to 1.5 cm3 in 100 cm3 of the liquid drug. Solubility is measured at 25� C. The term �liquid drug� denotes a drug which is liquid at room temperature and pressure, or a drug dissolved or suspended in a solvent, such as water. A preferred embodiment of the invention is to �sparge� the liquid drug with tiny bubbles of a sparging gas. Taking helium as one specific example, Obviously, the duration of the treatment will vary according to the volume of liquid, the gas pressure, volume flow rate, and the size and number of the bubbles generated by the sparging device. The gas pressure and volume flow rate are of course linked. Preferably, capsule filling is carried out by first evacuating the capsule to about 0.5 mbar before admitting the drug into the capsule; a full description of a suitable process is disclosed in International patent publication WO02/060516��Method for filling needleless injection capsules� in the name of Weston Medical Limited. It has also been found that stirring of the liquid during sparging reduces the required sparging time. In particular, it has been found that key input parameters for the control of the sparging process are stirring speed (for example using a magnetic mixer) and the gas flow rate. Increasing the gas flow rate reduces the tune required, but there is a maximum practical gas flow rate above which foaming of the drug being sparged is too great. The additional step of stirring reduces further the time required by increasing the time taken for the sparging gas to travel through the liquid, for the same gas flow rate. In order to monitor the rate at which gas is displaced by the sparging gas, an oxygen probe is used. The air being removed from the drug by sparging is of course almost entirely nitrogen and oxygen, and it has been found that the concentration of dissolved nitrogen and oxygen can be deduced from a measurement of the dissolved oxygen concentration alone. In order to analyse the effects of the stirring rate and the gas flow rate, a number of experiments were carried out. The table below show the experimental conditions for 5 tests, in which helium was used as the sparging gas. All conditions were equal other than the stirring speed and flow rate. The experiments involved the sparging of 3 liters of solution in a 5 liter Schott glass bottle, with an oxygen probe used to measure (and deduce) the dissolved gas concentrations. In these experiments, the solution contained 0.1% polysorbate 80.
As there are two sets of three experiments where either the stirrer speed or the flow rate is held constant, it is possible to explore the variation of β as a function of each variable. In both cases, a proportional relationship is found. This suggests that the variables are independent and proportional. From this, it is found that β varies twice as much with stirring speed as with the gas flow rate, so that the stirrer speed is approximately twice as important as the gas flow rate. It is then possible to compare the time constants for the exponential increase in helium concentration and for the exponential decrease in combined nitrogen and oxygen concentration. The principal conclusion is that the helium concentration varies at approximately 1.75 times the speed of the combined nitrogen and oxygen concentration. The helium mass transfer process is quicker than the nitrogen and oxygen processes. Selecting the optimum sparging conditions results in operation at the high gas transfer rate portion of the line in The sparging operation effectively displaces the dissolved gases in the drug. By selecting the sparging gas to have a flat solubility curve over temperature, the possibility of gas coming out of solution during storage is minimised. As a result, the capsule can be formed from a material which is impermeable to the sparging gas, as there is no need to discharge the sparging gas. For example, a borosilicate glass capsule is selected partly for its impermeability to oxygen, which prevents deterioration of the stored drug. Such a capsule is also impermeable to nitrogen. However, nitrogen can still be used as a sparging gas, particularly if the sparging conditions are selected to correspond to the minimum solubility of nitrogen. Thus, although examples are given for sparging conditions with helium, the invention is not restricted to helium, and other gases suitable for sparging have been identified. As can be seen from the experiments above, a preferred stirring speed is in the range 100 rpm to 300 rpm, preferably 200 rpm to 300 rpm. Other modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Patent Citations

Cheap paper fan, painting looks like a two year old did it, would not even stay open, bamboo even looked cheap and ugly. I have seen plenty of these type of fans that were beautiful, this is not one of them, went right back.
The fan is pretty - the painting is not clean but as long as you are standing back from the fan, you will not notice. It is difficult to open up and the fan I received has a few "fingers" that are bent but again, if you are standing back from the fan, you do not notice very much. The colors are pretty accurate and it is a great size.

The blossoming of the white, red, yellow, and violet crocuses of the saffron family in their front yard and the deep yellow forsythia hedgers on their property line, herald the arrival of spring in New York. Daria was reminiscing on last Tuesday night's gathering--the family had attended Chaharshanbe Suri, the Zoroastrian fire ritual in the Cultural Center, which is the prelude to Nowruz. She could not fully recall the Persian lyrics sung as they jumped over fire-pits, but surmised it translated into:
"O' sacred Fire, take away my yellow sickness and give me in return your healthy red color!"
Lost in her thoughts for a moment, she weighed in imminent options; the ultimate college decision she should soon make, and what life's prospects might bring her. She was anxiously waiting to receive her college letters as she had only heard from a few including two among the top 100 in the nation, yet she yearned for the only one from the top 50! She snapped out of her concentration as the doorbell chimed. It was the evening of March 20th, and family and friends were arriving in droves as usual later than expected. In the home of professors Faranak and Davood Parsa, silk Persian carpets spread on hardwood oak floors in each room, complemented with hand-crafted khatam miniature frames on walls--the paintings of polo games, historic battles, epic Persian characters and poetry readings, and dancing and music performances. The guests, notably the children, were drawn toward the sofreh haft-seen set at the foot of the grand staircase. This symbolizes the commemoration of Nowruz, the Persian New Year at the spring vernal equinox and c herished since the agricultural epoch as far back as ten thousand years ago.
The sofreh haft-seen mahogany roundtable was covered with an antique hand-woven silk cloth on which laid seven beautifully plant-derived items whose Persian names begin with the letter "S": sabzeh- wheat and lentil germ inations symbolizing rebirth; s enjed , the dried fruit of the oleaster tree symbolizing love; s ee r - garlic, symbolizing medicine; s ee b - apples, symbolizing beauty and earth; s omaqh - sumac, berries symbolizing sunrise; samanu - cooked germinated wheat for affluence, and s erkeh - vinegar, symbolizing ripeness, longevity, and perseverance. A round analog clock signifying time, a fishbowl with two gold fish signifying companionship and life, painted eggs for fertility, and a saucer of coins from the five continents to reflect prosperity were also present on the table. Daffodils, tulips and hyacinths were everywhere. A triple green, white, and red flickering candelabra to the right of the table reflect in the mirror, balancing on the left with three illustrious books of poems. Each book had a myriad storytelling miniature illustrations of a thousand years ago. The books were from circa 11 th through the 13 th century CE: Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, the Persian epic book of the Kings, Rumi's Mathnawi, the compendium of spiritual poems, and Omer Khayyam 's Quatrains--prose in eighteen languages , the Nightingale bemoans to the Persian Rose .

"A Book of Verses
underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread--and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness,
Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!"
The aromas from the buffet-style Persian cuisines exquisitely arranged over the dining table was simply breathtaking. Saffron over piles of basmati rice spiced with cardamoms, cumin, cinnamon and sour cherries was the main staple. Assorted trays of Sultani kabobs, Joujeh, Barg and Koubideh, i.e., the skewers of chicken breasts, skirt steaks, and ground burgers interspersed with barbecued vegetables, were competing with a slew of stews and gravies, lamb shanks, white fish and meatballs and graded walnuts simmered in dark red pomegranate pastes. The dinner was ordered in part from the Persian restaurant rated 30 out of 30 by the Zagat in New York City; that did not deter Faranak from receiving guests' compliments with exuberance as if Davood had no input and she herself had painstakingly prepared them all!
The Nowruz celebration by the crowd in their latest fancy fashion night-gowns, that had now grown to over a hundred, was in full blast; a few kept gossiping about some tardy guests still expected to arrive two hours late! The few dozen youngsters, ranged from a newborn girl passed around to be embraced on the main floor, to toddlers, teenagers and college students now hanging out in the basement; they were eating and conversing next to the fireplace some were listening and dancing to a loud modern Persian music video Boro Boro on the large screen by Arash, the Swedish hip-hop Persian singer. Arash's parents were from Shiraz and Isfahan in central Iran, but he had always made a point of crediting his paternal Iranian Azarbaijani great grandfather Rostam for his vocal talent; as a child, he had met the family's centenarian patriarch. Daria had also heard of her own great grandfather's epic songs back at the ancestral land joyously revered by the residents of the sleepy hamlet of Rahan on the slope of the Karkas (vulture) Mountain; at its peak, the fire of Atashkadeh the Zoroastrian Temple is still gloriously flickering and flaring all night long. Rostam had only thrived on abgousht the lamb legume stew, lots of daily vegetables, dairies and fruits, and had never gone to a doctor until he passed away at 107!
As the Shiraz red dry wine was heavily consumed alongside the freshly squeezed pomegranate juice and dinner in the family room overlooking the water estuary on back, adults were discussing the U.S. current and future affairs, children, education, career, healthcare, economy and retirement. Although English was the predominant language in Daria's household and thus at this and any other gatherings, one could not help but to hear accentuations of English by Persian, Persian Hebrew, Italian, Armenian and Turkish phrases on the air. The debate was soon as usual diverted, by a melancholic expatriate's nostalgic yearning for the mother country, to the inconclusive lingering dilemma in Iran. The yearning for democracy, freedoms, sovereignty, human rights, equality, transparency, justice and peace that were all overshadowed by western sanctions and the imminent possibility of war, were passionately debated.
Nowruz (aka Norouz or Norooz et al) literally means the first day [of the New Year] in Persian. It falls amongst the solar calendars that were conceived by agricultural people far north of the Tropic of Cancer. The sun, sols invictus, was revered in most ancient worlds, whereas the people south of the Tropic of Cancer developed the lunar calendars as they depended on the moon and stars for night navigation and caravan movements in the hot and arid Sahara. In addition to Iran, Nowruz celebration, tied to mother-nature, transcends religions, ethnicity, race and creed, and is also celebrated in all countries of central and south Asia, western China, the Caucuses, and west Asia.
The Map of central and
west Asia with Persian Gulf at its heart, the Caspian Sea to its north, and
IRAN in its center.
Nowruz is also celebrated eclectically in Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Georgia, India, Iraq, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan , Russia , Syria , Tajikistan , Turkey , Turkmenistan , and Uzbekistan . Highly diverse ethnic people in the region observing Nowruz include the Assyrians, Armenians, Turks, Uighors, Uzbeks, and Kurds , with diverse religions such as the agnostics, Bahá's , Christians, Hindus, Jews, Moslems, spiritualists and Zoroastrians . The Commoner New Year at spring vernal equinox was also observed by the serfs, peasants, and farmers in the west through the eighteenth century. Is it serendipitous or predestined that Easter observation in Europe now embraced by Christianity, also coincides with early spring and Nowruz? Finally, over ten million immigrants from the above countries currently residing in Europe and North America also celebrate Nowruz. Daria proudly boasted to a few first time friends basement that the U.S. President sends a Nowruz message on March 20 each year and hosts a Nowruz grand gala at the white House with a few hundred invitees.
Daria sitting on a side chair on the main floor was again in monologue with a few first timer teens whose one parent was Persian-American and the other a U.S. native. She shared, "In Mesopotamia and the Persian (Iran) Plateau of west Asia where on the first day of spring the length of the days begins to be longer than nights, is a natural day for celebrating the Nowruz. The day coincides with wild Persian violets and fruit trees blossoming and wheat, barley, vegetables, and legumes germinating. It never snows after Nowruz but rainbows after rains are frequent."
After enduring the long freezing cold winter in the sleepy hamlet of Somers located in New York City's northern suburb of Westchester County, Daria's family was once again looking forward to celebrating Nowruz. Daria, the seventeen year old was a tall slender girl with large deep hazel eyes, a round, fair complexion and black hair, complete with a congenial personality that engaged everyone young and old, in fascinating and frankly entertaining conversations. Born as the third child, Daria restlessly looked forward to this year's Nowruz in particular, as she planned on moving out to college in the fall.
Daria remembered the word Iran and Ireland both meant the land of the Aryans, as the two were distantly related back in time. "In addition to Nowruz, my family observes other Persian celebrations at the beginning of the other three seasons as well the mainstream Christian and Jewish commemorations and the western New Year." Her two siblings Cyrus and Darius, are a herpetologist physician and a psychologist professor, respectively. They are twelve and ten years elder than Daria, and have left home a while back, although the family has remained as closely-knit as any other family because of their daily conversations and weekly dinner get-togethers.
As Daria was roaming around to ensure everyone especially the children were stocked with foods, deserts or drinks, and the music was pumping downstairs, she said to her new friends, "I have been most fortunate in life in that my family celebrates two distinct New Years, but we also share the festivities of other New Years, as cherished by our Assyrian, Armenian, Chinese, Greek, Indian, Jewish, Lebanese, and Russian friends." Daria reminisced nostalgically that she enjoyed the frequent exchanges of gifts, attending special concert dinners, and the many family gatherings when she listened to ancestral stories of the ancient past. One could hear bits and pieces spoken in half a dozen languages at the party. Raised in a multilingual and multi-cultural environment conjured up in her memory times when she followed a family or a young couple in the mall eavesdropping to their secrets who never noticed her grasping their native tongue! In retrospect and although she would still not acknowledge it to her parents, her tedious Sunday Persian and culture schooling had paid off, especially when she felt the advantage over her siblings who could not read or write and had rudimentary conversational skills in Persian.

My grandfather was very interested in our family history, and traced us back to the big Pharoah Ramses II. But I once heard that he had over a hundred children, so it's prolly not that unique, really. But it makes me feel special and gives me ancient anubik magic powers! hehe
But wasn't Ramses II the big looser that was the last great monument-building pharoah, who lost egypt to Alexander or something? Does anyone know anything about this? Oh and please don't type in all caps, I just tried to read some postings here and it was like makin love to a drill sergent~ WAY TOO LOUD and wierd.

Were you able to find out if there was any truth to that? I'd love to know. That would be so cool! Please keep us posted on what you were able to find.
Oh yeah? I suppose next you're going to tell me that I was adopted, and that my real parents don't love me. Thanks, you've been a real pal.
There is no reason to assume Carlo is wrong. Colin Powell himself is related to the Queen of England as is George W. Bush. All humans, argue some, come from one mother and her offspring in Africa. Where the story gets interesting is when bloodlines have unusual capabilities. Royal lineages claim such capabilities.
"Where the story gets interesting is when bloodlines have unusual capabilities. Royal lineages claim such capabilities."
They claim such advantage due to inbreeding and there is no way that such a lineage could be established to the period of Moses and the biblical Exodus. Please, it is possible that families make all sorts of claims but substantiation is a different matter. There are few if any records still available from this time period.
It is vastly easier to make a claim of descendancy to someone a few hundred years ago as opposed to over four thousand years ago.
Since there is a mummy then it could be that he could get a DNA check however and this could relieve him of his doubts.
Here is a quote from the above link:
"Of Ramses' personal life virtually nothing is known. His first and perhaps favorite queen was Nefertari; the fact that, at Abu Simbel, the smaller temple was dedicated to her and to the goddess of love points to real affection between them. She seems to have died comparatively early in the reign, and her fine tomb in the Valley of the Tombs of the Queens at Thebes is well known. Other queens whose names are preserved were Isinofre, who bore the king four sons, among whom was Ramses' eventual successor, Merneptah; Merytamun; and Matnefrure, the Hittite princess.
In addition to the official queen or queens, the king, as was customary, possessed a large harem, and he took pride in his great family of well over 100 children. The best portrait of Ramses II is a fine statue of him as a young man, now in the Turin museum; his mummy, preserved in a mausoleum at Cairo, is that of a very old man with a long narrow face, prominent nose, and massive jaw.
The reign of Ramses II marks the last peak of Egypt's imperial power. After his death Egypt was forced on the defensive but managed to maintain its suzerainty over Palestine and the adjacent territories until the later part of the 20th dynasty, when, under the weak kings who followed Ramses III, internal decay ended its power beyond its borders. Ramses II must have been a good soldier, despite the fiasco of Kadesh, or else he would not have been able to penetrate so far into the Hittite Empire as he did in the following years; he appears to have been a competent administrator, since the country was prosperous, and he was certainly a popular king.
Some of his fame, however, must surely be put down to his flair for publicity: his name and the record of his feats on the field of battle were found everywhere in Egypt and Nubia. It is easy to see why, in the eyes both of his subjects and of later generations, he was looked on as a model of what a king should be."
Notice the part that says: "little is known of his personal life."
