I was *****ed at by my entire team for playing Sona Then i proceeded to have the most kills and stay at 1st place for 90% of the match. Then they all apologized at endgame lobby. Highly mobile supports oorah
Singed Blitz and Rammus need to be in every team, add 1 tank dps+one assassin and it's the perfect team for dominion
Heimer is kinda useless bbut his stun is good... turrets and rockets dont do **** and his passive is useless
I think the only underpowered champions for dominion atm are Kog'maw and Caitlyn. However, AP Kog'maw is pretty good though. The only truly OP champs in Dominion atm is Gangplank, Nocturne, and Rammus. Everyone else is pretty **** good.
dont forget caitlyn .... she traps whole BASE by putting all her traps around,if you go near it you'll be stunned and turret killed . you try to capture it ? her massive range will interrupt - it pisses me off xD

Description The invention is related to a method for manufacturing a filter of electrically charged electret fiber material, consisting of a highmolecular non-polar substance, comprising the continuous supply of a foil of said substance, the drawing, charging and fibrillating of the foil and the processing of the thus fiber material into a filter. Such a method is known. However, it appeared that in the filters obtained according to said method the coherence in the fiber mass is often insufficient in particular for that application in which the filter has to endure mechanical vibrations or is mechanically loaded in another way. Moreover, the filter effect does not satisfy completely the expectations because of the fact, that the penetration in a high loading with dust increases too rapidly. The invention aimes to provide a method for manufacturing a filter with which such a structure of the filter is obtained, that mechanical as well as filtering characteristics of the filter satisfy high demands. To obtain this, the method according to the invention is characterized in that by a suitable choice of the foil and/or by the type of drawing, crimpable fiber material is manufactured, this is wound in uncrimped condition to a fibrous package and that subsequently the crimping is effected. By having the fibers crimped after being made into a package, in which they already have a certain mutual coherence, the fibers interlock and strengthen their coherence with the result that they form a firm filter which appears to stand a mechanical loading. Moreover, it appears that the pores of the filter have become more erratic concerning their shape and have become more uniform in measure and distribution; by this the catching of dust by the charged fibers is improved, as appears from a lower penetration and therefore a better functioning of the filter. To be able to wind the fiber material in a not-crimped condition to a fiber package, the foil is during fibrillation as well as the netlike fiber fleece, obtained by this, slightly tensioned during winding, by which the spontaneous tendency to crimp of the fibers is oppressed. After the fiber package of the desired volume is wound, it is taken from the winding means for instance by cutting it in the axial direction. The tension, with which it is wound, then falls off so the crimping of the fibers takes place. To strengthen the crimp and also to fix the crimp and with that the coherence of the fibers according to a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention. The filter is subjected to a heat treatment, for instance by putting it during about 15 minutes in an oven at about 70� C. The filter may, if necessary, still further be consolidated and compacted by subjecting it to a needle treatment. The crimpability of the fibers is according to a further feature of the invention obtained in that a foil is used in which at least two substances with different drawing- or crimping characteristics are incorporated in a non-homogeneous mixture. According to a preferred embodiment of the method a foil is used being a laminate of said substances. The crimping characteristics of the thus obtained fibers are more uniform and reproducable, so it is avoided that the filter has weak parts or parts being too pervious. The draw- or crimp characteristics of the used substances may differ as result of the fact that the substances are of different type. However, they also can be of the same type; the difference in characteristics then are caused by a difference in molecular weight of or admixtures, or in the case of a laminate by the fact that the substance of the one layer is predrawn and that of the other layer is not drawn or not drawn in the same measure. In another embodiment of the method according to the invention, the crimpability of the fibers is obtained or improved by the fact that the foil during or after drawing is deformed strongly for instance by moving it over a sharp edge. The invention is also related to filters manufactured according to the above method. These filters differ with regard to known filters in that they have better mechanical characteristics, an improved homogenity and an improved filter action. They are in particular suited for those applications in which the catching of bacteria is of importance, such as ventilation systems for operating rooms and laboratories as face masks, and as a filter in suction cleaners, either as a dust bag or as a discharge filter. Moreover, they have the advantage that they are more resilient than filters of not crimped fibers, so that they can be pressed together for saving space during transport and storage. The product obtained by the method according to the invention can besides being used as filter, also be used as a dust remover. By rubbing a piece of the filter material over a surface, e.g. the surface of a record, the surface becomes completely free of dust while the coherence of the fibers as result of their crimp avoids that loose fibers of the filter material remain on the surface. The invention will now be described with the aid of a drawing. FIG. 1 shows schematically the method according to the invention; FIG. 2 shows the penetration as function of the loading with dust of a crimped filter according to the invention and of a comparable not-crimped filter. Each of the extruders 31 and 32 supply a component of the high molecular weight, polymeric substance, each of them differing in molecular weight, to a common nozzle 33 with the strip-like extrusion mouth 34. The thus obtained foil 1, in which both components are present in a laminate-shaped non-homogeneous distribution, is after passing the rollers 3 and 4 subjected to a first drawing between the roller pair 5 and 6 and the roller pair 9 and 10 rotating at a higher speed, in which it is drawn over an edge 7 of a block 8 provided with a schematically indicated heater 15. Between the roller pair 9 and 10 and the roller pair 13 and 14 rotating at a still higher speed the foil 1 is subjected to a second drawing while it is advanced over a bent plate 12, provided with a schematically indicated heater 16. At the same time, the foil 1 is electrically charged by the spray device 18, comprising corona wires 25 being connected to a not shown high-tension source and of which the plate 12 forms the anti-pole. The splittable electret foil 1 obtained in this manner subsequently is advanced via the support roll 20 over the needle roll 29, which fibrillates the foil 1 to a fibrillated fiber band 35. Subsequently, the latter is widened by the spreading device 36 to a net-like fiber fleece 37 and wound on to the roll 38. When in this way a fiber mat of the desired thickness is wound, it is taken from the roll 38 by cutting it in the direction of the axis of the roll or by pushing it from the roll 38 without cutting. The fibers of which the fiber mat exists now are not held anymore in straightened shape and crimp spontaneously as result of the different measure of relaxation-crimp in both components of the high-molecular substance of which they are made. The fibers mesh with each other and form a filter mat with a homogeneous and firm structure, which is further still improved by a heat treatment of about 15 minutes in an oven not shown in the drawing, of which the temperature is kept at about 70� C. FIG. 2 shows a diagram in which on the ordinate penetration, defined as the ratio of the dust concentration behind the filter to that before the filter is shown in percentages, and on the abscis the dust loading of the filter in g/m2. The solid line shows the result for a crimped electret filter obtained according to the invention and the dashed line for a comparable not crimped electret filter. The diagram shows, that the penetration of perviousness for the not catched dust of the electret filter of crimped fibers with increasing dust loading is subsequently lower than that of the filter of not crimped fibers, so in practice the crimped filter has a much longer life-time than the not-crimped filter. According to the method described with the aid of FIG. 1 a laminate having a thickness of 50/μm and a width of 6 cm consisting of polypropylene with a melt flow index of 1.5 and polypropylene with a melt flow index of 8 is drawn with an initial speed of 13 m/minute over block 8, having a temperature of about 100� C., in a draw ratio of 1:6 and subsequently over the plate 12 having a temperature of about 150� C. in a draw ratio of 1:1.5. The corona wires 25 are present 5 mm above the foil and have a tension of -10 kV with regard to the plate 12. The foil is fibrillated with a needle roller with 60 rows of which the needles are positioned at a mutual distance of 0.5 mm. The obtained split fiber band is spread to a width of 90 cm and is wound in 170 layers to a fiber mat with a thickness of 3 mm. The fiber mat is taken from the roll and is placed during 15 minutes in an oven at 70� C. The obtained filter cloth appeared to have a density of 250 g/m2. In FIG. 2 the solid line shows the filter features of this cloth. The filter of not crimped fibers compared herewith, of which filter the dashed line shows the features, is obtained by in the same manner drawing, fibrillating and winding a foil with the same dimensions but comprising exclusively polypropylene with a melt flow index of 1.5 and winding it to a filter bat with also a density of 250 g/m2. During testing both filters showed practically no difference in flow resistance and the resistance increased for both filters only in neglectable measure. Patent Citations

World Of Breeding: Celebre proving his worth again with impressive Enchantee; pedigree assessment.
Byline: Tony MorrisTHE compilers of the International Classifications will shortly be finalising their assessments for 2003, and there can be little doubt that events in Hong Kong at the weekend will cause some revision of the ratings.
There may be no need for reconsideration where such as Falbrav and Rakti are concerned, but any doubts about Silent Witness's right to figure among the leading sprinters have now been quashed, and Vallee Enchantee's performance must surely put her in contention for leadership of the three-year-old filly middle-distance division.
Vallee Enchantee had looked a first-rate prospect when she won a Listed contest in the Saint-Cloud mud at the back-end of 2002, so her failure to enhance her reputation in the early months of this season had to be counted a disappointment. A modest sixth as hot favourite for the Prix Penelope was followed by a just-respectable third in the Prix Cleopatre, and those defeats at Group 3 level made a bid for the Prix de Diane seem over-ambitious. Her seventh place in the Chantilly Classic, albeit only four lengths behind the winner, seemed to confirm that she belonged some way down the pecking order.
However, a two-month break, and the chance on her return to tackle a longer trip, had profound effects. She trounced older fillies by six lengths and more in the 13-furlong Group 2 Prix de Pomone, ran to that improved mark again in the Prix Vermeille, when fourth to Mezzo Soprano, before showing further progress with her victory over older rivals of both sexes in the Group 2 Prix du Conseil de Paris.
That form still would not have been good enough for a win in the Hong Kong Vase, but that is what she achieved in splendid style, her triumph over game older males Polish Summer and Warrsan indicating significant improvement on all that she had shown before. Accelerating impressively in the last of the 12 furlongs, she left no doubt that she is now a genuine Group 1 performer, and chances are that she will underline that fact at the top level in Europe in 2004.
Vallee Enchantee is a small, leggy, wiry type, certainly no oil painting, and she would not have made much of an impression if she had been subjected to the conformation critics at a yearling sale. But that was never going to be her destiny; she is a home-bred, produced by a breeder who knows that handsome is as handsome does, and who was so confident of the quality in her equally insubstantial-looking dam that he sent her to a son of her own grandsire. It was not hard to guess what the outcome would look like.
It might well be asserted that it was not hard for Alec Wildenstein to choose his father's great Arc winner Peintre Celebre as a mate for Verveine, but don't assume this was just a marriage of convenience. His matings are invariably carefully considered - if not always readily understood by others - and the extraordinary degree of success he has achieved over the years bears eloquent testimony to his mastery of the art.
I have alluded here before to the remarkable results that the Wildensteins have obtained from the use of stallions routinely ignored, or not used to best advantage, by other breeders, and there are a couple of examples in Vallee Enchantee's background. Sodium, the 1966 St Leger winner, was roundly condemned by most during his stint at stud in France, and Japanese breeders later obtained nothing of any quality from him. The Wildensteins bred his best product, Virunga, who won the Group 3 Prix de Malleret, ran second in the Prix Saint-Alary and Yorkshire Oaks, and was a fine third in the Prix de Diane.
And that was not the end of it. At stud, mated with stallions from a variety of backgrounds, Virunga produced a Group 1 winner in Vin de France, a Group 2 winner in Vacarme, the dam of a Group 1 winner in Victoire Bleue, and even a tip-top hurdler in Video Tape. Now she features as third dam of Vallee Enchantee, who was delivered by Verveine, one of the best daughters of the widely neglected, but worthy, Lear Fan.
Vallee Enchantee is not quite a carbon-copy of Verveine, as she is clearly more at home over a mile and a half than her dam, who got the distance well enough, but seemed not to relish it.
But mother and daughter have the same bay coat, are similar in stature, with the same wiry frame, and they are pretty much on a par in terms of racing class. It is worth bearing in mind that Verveine was a constant improver, reaching her peak as a four-year-old.
Verveine was more forward than her daughter as a juvenile, winning at Group 3 level and reaching third place in the Group 1 Prix Marcel Boussac. At three she failed to win in six tries, but that record belied progressive form, indicated by third places in the Prix Saint-Alary and Prix de Diane, and a fourth in the Vermeille. Although Group 1 glory continued to elude her at four, she belonged in that league, and after her facile Group 2 win in the Prix de l'Opera she was beaten a length and a half in the Yellow Ribbon Invitational and a length in the Hong Kong International.
Vallee Enchantee's sire, one of the best of all Arc de Triomphe heroes, is now making a significant impression as a sire. Peintre Celebre was unfortunate to suffer injury on the eve of his intended return to racing at four, did not begin at stud until a year later, and spent his third breeding season in Japan - a venture that meant there were no yearlings by him on offer in Europe this autumn.
They would surely have done well, because he has star performers from each of his first two crops. Vallee Enchantee joins German champion Dai Jin (now based at Gestut Zoppenbroich) as a Group 1 celebrity among his three-year-olds, while Pearl Of Love struck for the juvenile team with his top-level success in Italy, and Castledale kicked off in America with a Grade 3 score.
Peintre Celebre is upwardly mobile. Who says genuine mile-and-a-half horses can't make stallions these days?
Sire: Peintre Celebre
Bred by Allez France Stables Ltd in Kentucky. Won 5 (8-12f) of 7 races, viz. 1 out of 2 at 2 years, 4 (inc. Prix Greffulhe-Gr2, Prix du Jockey-Club-Gr1, Grand Prix de Paris-Gr1, Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe-Gr1) out of 5 at 3 years. Earned Ff8,240,000. Timeform 137 at 3.
Not an outstanding physical specimen, but quite well-made, medium-sized individual.
Tip-top performer at 10-12f, who tended to start sluggishly, but developed high cruising speed and could produce exceptional acceleration. Effective on any ground. Unlucky in both defeats. Career ended by injury in training shortly before intended return at four.
The best son of his outstanding sire, with more stamina than most, a factor he has in common with Theatrical, Nureyev's best son at stud to date. Dam Listed winner in France and Gr2 winner (12f on grass) in US, impeccably bred, by top-class runner and leading sire out of a Gr3 winner in England who was half-sister to outstanding racemare Pawneese (Oaks, Prix de Diane, King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes, etc).
Stands at Coolmore Stud, Fethard, Co. Tipperary, Ireland, at a (2004) fee of EUR30,000. Sire of 2 crops of racing age, including: Dai Jin (Deutsches Derby-Gr1, Aral Pokal-Gr1), Vallee Enchantee (Hong Kong Vase-Gr1), Pearl Of Love (Gran Criterium-Gr1).
Dam: Verveine
Bred by Allez France Stables in Kentucky. Won 3 (7-9f) of 13 races, viz. 2 (inc. Prix du Calvados-Gr3) out of 3 at 2 years, 0 out of 6 at 3 years, 1 (Prix de l'Opera-Gr2) out of 5 at 4 years. Also placed 2nd in Prix Gontaut-Biron and Hong Kong International, 3rd in Prix Marcel Boussac, Prix de la Grotte, Prix Saint-Alary and Prix de Diane, 4th in Prix Vermeille and Yellow Ribbon S. Earned Ff2,441,032. Timeform 108p at 2, 117 at 3, 120 at 4.
Smallish, quite attractive sort. High-class, consistent performer, competitive with the best throughout her career. Stayed 12f, but considered better over shorter trips. Owned a fine turn of foot.
Very well bred. One of the best daughters of a top-class miler and under-rated sire. Half-sister to Gr2 winner Vetheuil (by Riverman) and to the dam of Gr3 winner La Sylphide.
Dam (half-sister to Gr1 winner Vin de France, Gr2 winner Vacarme, and Gr1-placed Vosges) unraced daughter of a top-class miler and sire out of a Gr3 winner, also 3 times Gr1-placed.
Excellent family, tracing to 1,000 Guineas winner Campanula.
To stud at 5 years and dam of Group winners Victory Cry (1996 f by Caerleon; Gr3), Volga (1998 f by Caerleon; Gr3), Vallee Enchantee (2000 f by Peintre Celebre; Gr1). Due to Rock Of Gibraltar in 2004.
Top-notch performance by a beautifully bred filly who will be a factor in Group 1 open-sex company in Europe in 2004.

On Thursday we learnt that the European Central Bank (ECB) suffered a data breach. Though no market sensitive information was said to have been taken, contact information for those attending events with the bank was.
German police have been called in to investigate, and those whose details have been snatched have been informed. But what lessons can companies draw from this attack on one of the most powerful institutions in the EU?
This year has been a bumper year for cyber attacks, with Target, eBay and News UK having all suffered at the hands of hackers.
Keith Bird, managing director at security firm Check Point, said: "This attack highlights how even high profile organisations with robust defences can fall victim to enterprising cyber criminals. The European Central Bank was clearly unaware it had been infiltrated as it first found out when the attackers issued a ransom for the data they had obtained."
Of 150 financial groups the company audited last year 88% had been involved in a data loss incident, an increase of a quarter on 2012.
Only some of the data taken by crooks from the ECB was encrypted, a startling oversight given its potential uses.
Jason Hart, vice president of cloud security at SafeNet, said: "Any data stored in a plain-text state is easily readable and can be easily accessed by cyber criminals. So companies need to think about encrypting all customer data, both in storage and transit."
Strong encryption can ensure that when a breach occurs the information obtained is useless to criminals, both discouraging them to hack in the first place and minimising the damage if it does happen.
The ECB unsurprisingly downplayed the significance of the hack, pointing out that sensitive financial and market information had been stored separately. But this doesn't mean the data is harmless.
Charles Sweeney, chief executive at security firm Bloxx, said: "A professional hacker doesn't need much more than a name, address and date of birth in order to defraud a person and assume their identity.
"This data might not rank as highly in terms of sensitivity to the wider market place and the ECB itself, but to the individuals that could be potentially be impacted it is most definitely of concern and underlines the need for all, not just some, data to be robustly protected."
Customers will be upset that their data has gone walkabout, but companies also have to worry about the effect on its reputation, especially when they are charged with holding other people's money.
Will Semple, vice president of research and intelligence for security firm Alert Logic, said: "It will be interesting to monitor the markets to see if this incident introduces confidence concerns in the ECB over the next few days."
Many security experts have a history of hacking, and not always as one of the good guys. Firms should make use of this.
Toyin Adelakun, vice president of products for security firm Sestus, said: "It is always beneficial to have frequent, regular and irregular penetration-testing (pen-testing) performed by so-called ethical hackers, to make sure that as many as possible of your blind spots are uncovered.
"Even better, have multiple or different pen-testers address your Web sites and networks, so that you have a comprehensive view of the threats -- and thus a comprehensive view of the necessary security countermeasures.
Keeping bad guys out of the perimeter used to be the focus for security companies, but this is all changing now the market for data is so profitable.
Gary Newe, senior systems engineering manager at application firm F5 Networks, said: "This attack is the latest to deliver a clear message to businesses across Europe - the assets we protect are no longer the infrastructure or the networks, it is the information contained in the applications that we need to address.
"We need to use tools like web application firewall (WAF), proxy functionality, and contextual awareness to understand and separate legitimate users from those with more suspicious motives, and better protect our data using these insights in real time."
Ransoms create a dilemma for the victim. In the short term it is tempting to buy off the hacker, but in the long term this may just encourage subsequent attacks.
Bob Tarzey, analyst and director at research firm Quocirca, said: "There is less reason to pay for this than even human ransom. Thieves may or may not have a copy, and they may or may not misuse what they have regardless of whether a ransom is paid. How do you know they will destroy what they have?
"As for crypto ransom (your data is encrypted and we will only give you the keys for payment), this would be bad news for a bank regardless of how important the data was. It would expose poor practice, not just in weak security, but in weak backup processes."

A sun-soaked summer day at a mountain river, spent skinny dipping, strumming guitars, circling a campfire, and forming lifelong memories with friends.
About this project
With the generous support of our lovely backers, we were able to:
--> complete the final post-production steps, including audio mixing, color correction and exporting.
--> collaborate with a talented local band, The Dimes.
--> package the DVD in an elegant eco-friendly custom designed digipak.
--> and submit the film to a carefully researched and selected list of film festivals.
Last summer, I packed up a wood-panel Wagoneer with a couple of vintage super-8 cameras, a volunteer cast and crew, and a cooler full of tallboys and headed to the river to shoot a short film about summer memories. A slice of life--a film about carefree in-the-moment living between youth and adulthood and a reflection on golden memories as we grow older.
When Kodak announced it was discontinuing Kodachrome and Polaroid film was fast disappearing from the shelves, it felt like more than a shift in technology; it felt like the end of a way of recording memories. The warm super-saturated colors of both Kodachrome and Polaroid had, for decades, defined the very look of growing-up. The old-school super-8 home movies captured birthday parties, proms, and picnics. Even if I was too young to really remember the '70s, I felt as if I'd lived through those flickering images. The look of old Polaroid and super-8 home movies evoked my own memories of summer days spent by a river with friends. So I set out to make a short film about memory, with the look and feel of nostalgia--sunkissed and golden.
After a drizzly winter holed up in an editing booth, my team and I are eager to share this sun-soaked film with the world. We've done a pretty bang-up job of borrowing and begging to produce a visually-stunning film that invites viewers to reflect upon their own summer experiences and how one perfect day can shape who you become.
So many people have given in so many small but significant ways to get us so close to completion. Now we are turning to you. If you've got fond memories of sun-dappled summers, if you'd like to support an entirely independent, artistically innovative, and heartfelt creative project, this is a great film to support!

I was very impressed with the excellent service, speed of order processing, range and price of products, as well as the low minimum order value (£10) for free delivery.

Fortunately the items were well wrapped in plastic so mess was minimal. Otherwise, my rating would definitely be "Excellent". Many thanks for such a good service
Great service, the free postage is much appreciated.

Baseball: Offense comes up short in Section 3AAA
A couple of closely-contested losses knocked the Rosemount baseball team out of the Section 3AAA tournament last week.
The Irish were sent to the consolation bracket after Eastview walked off with a 3-2 eight-inning victory in last Tuesday's second-round match up at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville. A day later, the Irish led Eagan by three runs early, but saw their 9-12 season come to an end with a 7-5 loss.

This is my first attempt. I used 5 gallons of apple juice and 2lbs of brown sugar. Pitched S05 3 weeks ago and the airlock is still going about every 10-15 seconds. I've only done beer before and visable fermentation was usually done by 5-6 days. I was planning on leaving this in primary for a month, but that might not be enough if the fermentation doesn't stop. Is this normal? How long do any experts think it should be going? It started at 1.07, which is what I wanted. I need it to be done fermenting because I'm bottle conditioning about half of it. (experimenting with the other half with back sweetening and adding different flavors, so I'm not worried about it being too dry) Any tips? Or am I being impatient?
Whats your gravity? Thats the only way to know if it is still fermenting.
The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind - Humphrey Bogart My Keezer BuildMy Kegbot getting close to 1000 pints!
Slow is good for cider. What temp are you fermenting at?
temp is a steady 65. is that too low? I haven't taken a hydrometer reading since I started. I generally only do that once airlock activity has stopped. Should I check it for a few days in a row?
65* is nice. My batches, which start around 1.060, often take 3+ weeks to ferment to dry. A couple of well spaced readings should give a better idea of where you're at and how fast the batch is going.

Ky. teen charged for having firearm at school - The Herald DispatchKy. teen charged for having firearm at school
June 28, 2010 @ 11:25 PM
The Herald-Dispatch
CANNONSBURG, Ky. -- A 17-year-old Grayson, Ky., resident was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm on school property and wanton endangerment after allegedly brandishing a firearm at Boyd County High School, according to a news release from the Boyd County Sheriff's Department.
The teenager got into a verbal argument over a soccer game at the school and is charged with pulling a handgun from his waist band. The game was not a high school soccer event, according to the release.
He reportedly pulled back the slide to change a shell and then pointed the gun at another person at the game, according to the release. He also reportedly waved the gun around while other people were walking nearby, according to the release. About 30 people, including small children, were in the area at the time, according to the release.
The juvenile was taken to the Boyd County Juvenile Detention Center, according to the release

Report Indicates ISIS May Enter U.S. Through Mexico
Monday, September 1, 2014
(Undated) -- ISIS militants might be eyeing the U.S.- Mexico border as a means to carry out terror attacks on America. That's the conclusion of a Texas law enforcement bulletin. The document says the warning is based on a review of recent social messaging by the terrorist group. The unclassified bulletin says ISIS militants are trying to raise awareness that illegal entry through Mexico is a viable option for attack.

Police clear Istanbul's Gezi Park after Erdogan warning
Turkish riot police have cleared a park in the centre of Istanbul which has been occupied for more than two weeks by anti-government protesters.
Officers moved into Gezi Park in Taksim Square, firing water cannon and tear gas. Several people were hurt, some of them allegedly by rubber bullets.
There were also reports of continuing stand-offs in other parts of Istanbul.
The police operation came hours after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for an end to the occupation.
He said Taksim Square had to be "evacuated" ahead of a rally planned by his Justice and Development (AK) Party on Sunday.
The Confederation of Public Workers' Unions (KESK) has said it will call a nationwide strike on Monday, while another union grouping is deciding whether to join the action.
'Peaceful environment'What began as a protest against plans to redevelop Gezi Park last month has evolved into wider anti-government unrest.
Demonstrators had vowed to occupy the park until their demands were met.
Protest timeline
31 May: Protests begin in Gezi Park over plans to redevelop one of Istanbul's few green spaces
3 June: Protesters establish camps with makeshift facilities from libraries to food centres
4-10 June: Protests widen into show of anti-government dissent in towns and cities across Turkey; clashes between police and demonstrators
11/12 June: Night of clashes see riot police disperse anti-government demonstrators in Taksim Square, which adjoins Gezi Park; camps in the park remain
13 June: Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan issues a "final warning" to protesters to leave Gezi Park
14 June: Government agrees to suspend Gezi Park redevelopment plans until a court rules on the issue, PM holds talks with members of a key protest group
15 June: Police move in, clearing protesters from Gezi Park
However, it took riot police less than half an hour on Saturday evening to bring an end to the 18-day occupation.
The BBC's James Reynolds, who was at the park, says the officers advanced slowly, wearing gas masks and carrying riot shields, amid a cloud of white tear gas.
Most protesters chose to leave to avoid getting hurt. Some regrouped in nearby streets, but police fired more tear gas in an effort to disperse them.
"We tried to flee and the police pursued us. It was like war," Claudia Roth, the co-chair of Germany's Greens party who was in the park, told the Reuters news agency.
After the park was cleared of people, police tore down the colourful tents and banners.
Istanbul Governor Huseyin Avni Mutlu described the operation as "extremely smooth" and said 29 people had been lightly injured.
"We will continue our work to constitute a peaceful environment in the next few hours," he added.
Tayfun Kahraman, a member of the Taksim Solidarity umbrella group of protest movements, said a number of demonstrators had been hit by rubber bullets.
"Let them keep the park, we don't care any more. Let it all be theirs. This crackdown has to stop. The people are in a terrible state,'' he told the Associated Press.
Earlier on Saturday, Mr Erdogan told tens of thousands of AK supporters in Ankara: "If Taksim Square is not evacuated, this country's security forces will know how to evacuate it.
"Staying there [in Gezi Park] makes no sense anymore as the matter is now in the hands of the courts. Nobody can intimidate us. We take no orders or instruction from anyone but God."
He also dismissed the wave of demonstrations as part of an organised plot against him.
Our correspondent says the prime minister has now won back the ground that he lost to protesters two weeks ago.
But it is not yet clear which side has won the larger fight for the country's support, our correspondent adds.
Rising 'authoritarianism'On 31 May, a crackdown on environmentalists in Gezi Park provoked protests across Turkey against the police and Mr Erdogan's government.
On Saturday, the protesters vowed to continue occupying Gezi Park despite a promise by Mr Erdogan to halt the development plan for the park until a court ruling on the issue.
Last month, an Istanbul court issued an initial injunction against the plan to cut down trees in the park to make way for a shopping centre and replica 18th-Century military barracks. The government has appealed against the ruling.
Mr Erdogan's offer was presented as a major concession. But after discussions in Gezi Park on Friday night, the protesters said their movement was more than just a conservation protest and vowed to stay on.
Five people have died and thousands have been injured since the protests began.
Demonstrators have accused Mr Erdogan's government of becoming increasingly authoritarian and of trying to impose conservative Islamic values on a secular state.
The police crackdown on protesters in Istanbul, Ankara, and other towns and cities has drawn international concern, especially from Europe.

World Cup diary - The Godfather strikes back
Published: 22 Jun 2010 - 07:31:22
Fabio Capello has expressed his disapproval at John Terry's claimed grievances against the England coach, calling his decision to speak out a "big mistake".
Terry announced at Sunday's press conference the supposed need for the players to voice these grievances at a planned team meeting. Capello has since reacted angrily at the public nature of Terry's claims.
"Every time we have a meeting I ask the captain, problems? You want to say something? Never. Then I read that John Terry said this, I don't understand why he doesn't speak with me."
Let's hope that JT doesn't wake to find Dion Dublin's head in his bed.
France World Cup coach Raymond Domenech has won the backing of his mother Germaine after deciding to send striker Nicolas Anelka home, following a foul-mouthed rant at the coach.
"I'd like to meet Mr Anelka and give him a piece of my mind as a mother," Mrs Domenech told RTL radio. We'd all like to be there if you do, Mrs Domenech.
French bank Credit Agricole SA has postponed a television advert featuring senior French players until further notice, after the squad refused to train for a day, in the wake of the Anelkagate affair.
Fast food company Quick is pulling a poster campaign featuring Anelka holding a burger aloft as if it is the Jules Rimet trophy. Apparently, Joann Gourcuff wanted a bite but Anelka refused to pass it to him.
The Korean television broadcast of what is believed to be the country's first live football match abroad took place yesterday, as Korea DPR took on Portugal.
After recording a 7-0 loss, the Koreans may be questioning the judgement of such a decision.
Argentina coach Diego Maradona demonstrated his sense of twisted logic after claiming that Brazil striker Luis Fabiano's second goal against the Ivory Coast on Sunday was not the Hand of God.
"This one was with his arm, he brought it down with his arm, it's very evident, I think there was a double handball," said Maradona. Glad you cleared that one up for us, Diego.
In a hugely ambitious move sure to thrill the fans of the Australia team, Cameroon coach Paul Le Guen is being lined up as the next coach of the Socceroos.
Cameroon are bottom of Group E after recording two losses from two games played.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key revelled in his country's 1-1 draw with reigning World Cup holders Italy on Sunday.
"The All Whites have surprised everybody and stunned the footballing world."
Champagne with that mint sauce, minister?
Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer is at it again. After criticising England's "kick and rush" style following their draw with the USA, the German World Cup winner labelled the France team "lifeless" after their 2-0 defeat to Mexico.
The German was forced to take a backward step after his own team's 1-0 defeat to Serbia, alluding to his earlier comments when he said: "I am not going to criticise England this time because all the bigger teams have taken a step backwards."
You may have won a battle Franz, but the war remains ongoing.
Portugal blitzed North Korea after scoring six second-half goals at the Green Point Stadium, Cape Town. Raul Meireles opened the scoring after 29 minutes with a cool finish, before goals from Sambrosa Simao (53), Hugo Almeida (56), Tiago Mendes (60), da Silva Muniz (81) and Cristiano Ronaldo (87) put the Portuguese six goals ahead.
Tiago sealed the match with his second in the 89th minute for a 7-0 victory. The victory leaves the Portuguese all but assured of second place in the battle for qualification from Group G.
A determined Chile side top Group H after overcoming Switzerland 1-0 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, shortly after the Swiss had set a new record for not conceding a goal at the World Cup Finals.
Ex-Liverpool midfielder Mark Gonzalez headed in at the far post in the 75th minute after excellent work by Esteban Paredes. Ottmar Hitzfeld's side did well to hang on after Valon Behrami was inexplicably dismissed on 30 minutes for a minor misdemeanour.
Spain showed their true class in a 2-0 victory over Honduras at Ellis Park, Johannesburg.
La Furia Roja created numerous chances before David Villa larruped an exquisite shot from the left wing to make it 1-0 on 17 minutes. Villa should have seen red after slapping Emilio Izaguirre in the face on 42 minutes, but the referee was not in view of the incident.
Villa wrapped things up soon after half-time, collecting a pass from Xavi Hernandez before his right-footed effort beat goalkeeper Noel Valladares via a deflection from defender Oscar Chavez.
Villa missed several chances to get his hat-trick, including a penalty which he missed after Izaguirre tripped Jesus Navas (61). The victory puts Spain second in Group H.
