This itinerary enables us to become acquainted with Santiago de Compostela's parks and gardens. Due to their s c e n i c a n d e n v i r o n m e n t a l q u a l i t y, t h e c i t y h a s w o n s e v e r a l p r i z e s a n d i n t e r n a t i o n a l r e c o g n i t i o n . It starts in the Alameda park, in the city centre, and goes through the most representative green spaces: historical and artistic gardens, spaces of botanical interest, parks of contemporar y design, extensive lawns... The route reveals new perspectives, unexpected panoramas, hidden visions of the city and informs us about its history, its urban development and its monumentality. 1 ALAMEDA PARK Although the park is called by the general name Alameda, it consists of three different parts: Paseo da Alameda, Carballeira ("oak grove" in Galician) de Santa Susana and Paseo da Ferradura. The resulting park has, since the 19th century, been the most important reference point for the walks and leisure of Santiago's residents; it is characterised by its pleasant atmosphere, as a kind of natural lounge. Its privileged location, bordering part of the old town and with a magnificent view of its west fa�ade (the most monumental one), made it the main city park. It also stands out due to the variety and size of its trees and ornamental species, such as its oak groves, magnificent eucalyptus trees or the scenic pergola formed by the horse chestnuts in Paseo da Ferradura. The passing of time has gradually influenced its layout, as we can see in the central avenue, with corridors for the different social classes of the 19th century; in what is almost a triumphal arch leading to Paseo dos Le�ns, or in the arrangement of flowerbeds, fountains and ponds. And also in its nineteenth-century, modernist and contemporary buildings �Chapel of Santa Susana, Church of O Pilar, dovecot, bandstand, acoustic bench, etc- in the abundance and shapes of its statues and sculptures, and in its urban furniture, especially the granite benches with an artistic cast-iron back made by the well-known Galician factory Sargadelos in Lugo. Since the Alameda park is the city's most representative green space, it houses the Parks and Gardens Interpretation Centre. Since the oak is Galicia's most typical tree -often linked to myths and legends"carballeiras" (the Galician name for oak groves) have always been areas used for meetings, processions, fiestas and celebrations; quasi-sacred, shady, magical... places. Among the trees there is a fountain and two "cruceiros", large stone crosses that marked the roads and are one of Galicia's identifying features. 5 VISTA ALEGRE PARK (FINCA SIME�N) 35 10� 7-22 This park was once a private garden, as shown by its sturdy outer wall, the statues guarding the way, its trees (palm trees, orange trees, apple trees, camellias, monkey puzzle trees, etc, some of which are more than a hundred years old), its pavilion and other shady corners in which to sit and rest. This property, which belonged to an important family of city bankers (the Sime�n family), now houses, apart from a colonial-style mansion from the early 20th century (now a select university residence called "Casa de Europe"), the University of Santiago's Advanced Studies Institute and the School of High Music Studies. 8 BELV�S PARK 30 20� OTHER PARKS OF INTEREST: ALTERNATIVES TO THE MAIN ITINERARY Duration of park tour The park follows the Belv�s watercourse, an elongated area make up of several meadows watered by a small stream. The walls, terraces and historical paths, such as the picturesque lane called As Trompas, have been respected in this park's project. This green space both separates and links the historical quarter and the large buildings of the Convent of Belv�s and the Minor Seminary, forming a kind of natural "moat" bordering the medieval town. Its highest part provides singular views of the entire city. 9 AVENIDA DO BURGO DAS NACI�NS PARK AND XIX�N PARK Situated beside each other, in contact with Music in Compostela Park, near the bus terminus. The two form a well-kept area with extensive green spaces, good sports facilities and a children's park. FERM�N BOUZA BREY PARK AND ALEXANDRE B�VEDA PARK Situated alongside a watercourse, beside Xix�n Park, near the bus terminus. They make up an area with a lot of shade, crossed by the Corgo stream, with good services and extensive areas for walking. PABLO IGLESIAS PARK, PONTE MANTIBLE PARK, BLANCO AMOR PARK AND SAN CAETANO PARK These are directly linked with the previous parks, forming a corridor along both sides of the road. They are situated in the area of the Vite neighbourhood, very close to the bus station and the Galician Government's central administrative buildings. MONTE DA ALM�CIGA PARK Following the suggested alternative itinerary, the park is accessed via San Caetano Park. Situated in the Alm�ciga neighbourhood, very close to the bus station, it occupies the city's highest hill, making it a privileged watchtower with excellent views of the surrounding landscape. It is linked to San Domingos de Bonaval Park by means of Teo street. SAR RIVER WALKWAY From Belv�s Park, we pass the Collegiate Church of Sar and come to the River Sar, whose riverside will shortly be turned into a natural walkway linking Carlomagno Park, in the As Fonti�as neighourhood, situated to the east of the city, and Eugenio Granell Park, in the A Ponte Pedri�a neighbourhood, to the south. This project will also connect with the City of Culture's park, called the "Forest of Galicia" (currently under construction), which will occupy an area of 125,000 m2 and will recreate a traditional Galician forest. CARLOMAGNO PARK (AS FONTI�AS) Situated in the As Fonti�as neighbourhood, it includes the park itself, located on a hilltop, as well as the landscaped areas surrounding the blocks of flats. It stands out as one of the city's most extensive green areas and due to its fine panoramic view. This park leads directly to San L�zaro Park, which includes several contemporary architectures of interest: Congress and Exhibition Hall, the football stadium, large hotels and several of the Galician Government's administrative buildings. EUGENIO GRANELL PARK (O PAXONAL) It is situated in the O Paxonal neighbourhood, also known by the general name of A Ponte Pedri�a, very close to the train station. In the near future, the green walkway through the valley of the River Sar will connect it with Carlomagno Park, in the As Fonti�as neighbourhood. It is one of Compostela's most extensive parks, with spectacular views of the city and an outstanding configuration: its landscaped and grassy areas gradually turn into a luxuriant oak grove on the river banks, completely separate from the nearby city. It features platforms for physical exercises and skateboarding areas and will soon be connected to the parks in the Conxo neighbourhood, and from there to the South University Campus, thereby completing the Green Itinerary that will surround the city. Topography Topography 3 Topography 10 A SARELA RIVER WALKWAY This walkway is per se a world of its own, completely separate from the city; it runs through woodland and suggests excursion, adventure, discovery and direct contact with nature. It follows the small river Sarela and reveals the historical importance of such watercourses as regards shaping the landscape: bridges, irrigation ditches, channels, waterwheels, tanneries... Such tanneries played an important role in the city's economic development from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, as we can see throughout this route that begins at the Ponte Sarela tannery and ends at the Carme de Abaixo tannery, which has now been converted into a housing complex. The path is shady, as if it were a natural pergola, thanks to the oak trees and Galicia's typical riverside vegetation: alders, birches, willows, etc. Open Special botanical interest 11 6 MUSIC IN COMPOSTELA PARK 25 10� ITINERARY PLAN Special monumental interest Viewpoint/ good views Extensive shady areas Extensive lawns a city embraced by green spaces Santiago de Compostela's landscape has always been characterised by the presence of green. From almost any point in the city, and especially from the old town, we are presented with perspectives revealing the trees of t h e c i t y 's p a r k s , o r f l e e i n g t o w a r d s f a r m l a n d o r t o w a r d s t h e f o r e s t s c o v e r i n g t h e n e a r b y h i l l s . Testimony of the coexistence between the city and its natural surroundings are the "rueiros": long, straight streets of medieval design linking the clearly urban town centre and the farmland bordering the city. Going along such streets, the city was gradually replaced by countr yside, and this is still the case today. During centuries, the sensation of closeness to nature has been enhanced by the city's historical gardens �the area formed by the Alameda park, the Santa Susana oak grove and the South University Campus, plus the San Domingos de Bonaval and Belv�s parks- which are still some of the city's most emblematic and popular places. The urban expansion that began in the mid-20th century led to an increase in the number of flats and the need for guaranteeing sustainable urban development, by creating new green spaces in the city. This task was fully assumed in the nineties, making Santiago, with more than one and a half million square metres of public green spaces, a city that can be encircled and toured by means of its parks and gardens. The new green spaces embracing the old town have safeguarded this historical relationship between the constructed area and the natural surroundings. Thus, today we can still enjoy the same urban scenes that were enjoyed, a long time ago, by other travellers and pilgrims... This green, tapestry-like meadow is located at the foot of the Auditorio de Galicia (which explains its name) and on the banks of the small Corgo stream. The stream is the park's main element, forming a large mirror-lake that reflects the auditorium's contemporary architecture. The park features a surrealist sculpture by the Galician artist Eugenio Granell that stands out due to its height and bright colours. The park reveals unexpected views of the old town: the backs of the convents of San Fransisco and San Mart�n Pinario, the Cathedral towers... The auditorium's plastic arts exhibitions and its cafeteria overlooking the lake are additional attractions offered by this park. 3A 4A 12 4 GALERAS PARK 31 10� 3 4 5 6 9 10 11 Areas with benches for resting Pedestrian itineraries 2 SOUTH UNIVERSITY CAMPUS An ambitious project was approved in 1929 to create students' residences and other university facilities, which form the basis of the present-day South Campus. This project involved an extension of �and also an alternative to- the congested existing city, following the 19th-century hygiene-based ideas of "green city" or "garden city". The general layout is based on a south-facing axis from the stairway linking it to the Alameda park and includes green spaces, sports facilities and residences. There are magnificent views of the complex from the top of the stairway, which also overlooks Monte Pedroso and the Ama�a valley. The water rising from the foot of the stairway runs along the central avenue, giving rise to ponds and fountains. The gardens are formalised with a rigorous geometric layout: lawns, flowerbeds, ponds and paths are connected by walks, along which we can find a great variety of trees and ornamental plants �ginkgoes, white cedars, camellias, magnolias, pines, cedars, junipersforming a peculiar city botanical garden. Galeras Park runs along the banks of the small river Sarela, in a flat area where it is joined by the Corgo stream. This watercourse is delimited in the west by the Finca do Espi�o estate (with luxuriant vegetation and a romantic modernist mansion) and Monte P�o (the president of Galicia's official residence), and in the east by the old town; this enables us to compare the scale of large singular buildings (Cathedral, former hospital, etc) with that of the small houses and rural constructions leading up to Monte Pedroso. It therefore marks the transition between city and countryside. Galeras is, above all, a large meadow that is well suited to walking, children's play and sports. Furthermore, it is bordered by several unique architectures as well as cafes and restaurants, with views of the park. 13 12 Possibility of cycling Accessibility for the handicapped 2 7 SAN DOMINGOS DE BONAVAL PARK 36 20� 8-21 Leaving behind the small garden of San Roque, on grounds that used to belong to the hospital and chapel of the same name, we arrive at the Dominican convent's old estate and cemetery, which have been turned into a city park by the Portuguese architect �lvaro Siza. The park is accessed via the strategic passageway formed by the contrasting architectures of two museums: the Galician Contemporary Art Centre (CGAC), a modern building also designed by Siza, and the Museo do Pobo Galego (Museum of the Galician People), housed in the former medieval convent. Situated on a west-facing hillside, the park offers surprising views of the city's rooftops, to which Chillida dedicated a sculpture that intentionally frames a vision of the city. This project is an example of perfect adaptation to the topography and existing elements, combining the undulating forms of the hillside and the linearity of the geometric designs defining its paths and terraces. It retains the tripartite structure of the convent estate: vegetable garden, oak grove and cemetery. Water murmurs throughout the walk: with fountains, channels and small cisterns. The result is an elegant area of great quality, a park of subtle contemporary design that plays with the different perspectives, being greatly enjoyed by locals and visitors alike, as well as an exceptional setting for artistic events. The historical trees have been completed with new species, thanks to which the park is of special botanical interest, especially its "carballeira" (oak grove). 1 8 13 7 Drinking fountains Picnic area 14 Watercourses 15 14 Ducks 4 82 50� Children's playground A A large natural space on the slopes of Monte Pedroso (Compostela's most emblematic hill), halfway between a city park -due to its configuration, layout and facilities- and forest; in fact, it is bordered by the Monte Pedroso Forest Park. Granxa do Xesto combines woodland (eucalyptus trees, pines and native species), grassland and small lakes fed by natural springs. It features 3 km of paths, a children's playground, different sports elements and a quiet caf� overlooking the city. It is also the starting point of a network of paths around Monte Pedroso, where an interesting outdoor Way of the Cross, made up of large stone "cruceiros" or crosses, leads up to the summit, offering a fine view of the city in the surrounding landscape. Duration of main itinerary: 2 hours and 30 minutes Main Route Alternative routes Section under construction Spor ts areas 15 The Green Itinerary is a project that will create a large, 15 km-long corridor surrounding the city and linking its main green spaces. It will also in turn connect these with the city's other green areas: with other parks and gardens, with rural and forest pathways and with the different Ways of St. James. It will thereby create an urban route that, by means of initiatives comprising differential surfacing, signposting, information panels and the restoration of each pathway's characteristic elements, will form a network facilitating the city's integration and dialogue with its natural surroundings. GRANXA DO XESTO PARK Cafeteria 3 SAN LOURENZO OAK GROVE The Convent of San Lourenzo de Trasouto was founded at the beginning of the 12th century in a shady oak grove on the banks of the River Sarela. Outside this building, which was eventually turned into a palace ("pazo" in Galician) and is now a distinguished restaurant for special occasions, there is still a luxuriant grove of centuries-old oak trees. 1 2 3 3a 4 4a 5 6 7 8 Alameda Park South University Campus San Lourenzo Oak Grove Sarela River Walkway Galeras Park Granxa Do Xesto Park Vista Alegre Park Music In Compostela Park San Domingos De Bonaval Park Belv�s Park 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Avenida do Burgo das Naci�ns Park and Xix�n Park Ferm�n Bouza Brey Park and Alexandre B�veda Park Pablo Iglesias Park, Ponte Mantible Park, Blanco Amor Park and San Caetano Park Monte Da Alm�ciga Park Sar River Walkway Carlomagno Park Eugenio Granell Park Public toilets Night lighting Information point Guided visits Nearby parking areas Another Way to Discover Santiago de Compostela THE CITY HIDDEN AMONG PARKS AND GARDENS Parks and Gardens Interpretation Centre Alameda Park.

The annual Urs festival at Hazrat Khwaja Naseeruddin Baba Dargah commenced at Arvapalli village of Jajireddygudem mandal in Nalgonda district on Friday.
The unique tradition being practised here is unlike other places, the Gandhamaothsavam (sandal procession) was taken out from Arvapalli police station to the Dargah on Friday.
The two-day festival is a strong example of communal harmony as people from different religious faiths from across the district visit in large numbers.
According to Dargah committee chairman Saini Sammaiah, the Dargah was constructed some 600 years ago, but the celebrations were stopped for unknown reasons.
After understanding the significance of the Dargah, he said that they had started celebrating Urs since 1984. The devotees visiting here prefer to drink water from a well located close to the Dargah which they believe cures their diseases and offers a better life. Arvapalli SI Kondal Reddy and temple committee member Muzuvari Naseeruddin were among those executing the security and other arrangements.

Love this show. Highly recommend it to anyone of any age.
The recent prehistoric episode had me laughing so hard I have to watch it again. Clearly, the suits are not providing suggestions of any kind here as there is little dumbing down. I guess they're too busy with the live-action non-comedy/non-musical shows they air and the talent they have to keep wrangling away from whatever temptations there might be out there.

Unicorn on the African Plains
Just a scribble that got overworked. Mightily overworked. Any crits at all would be most helpful, no matter how small. Crits related to shading would be nicest. But, anything you see wrong I'd love to hear about.
Be as harsh as you want.
Oh yes, before anyone says anything about horse anatomy... meant to be a new species. Some kind of ungulate.

December 26th, 2008 #3
Thanks! I'll see what it looks like...
I've just discovered bounced light, so I tend to over exaggerate it sometimes.
December 26th, 2008 #4
I love the ss you got going there on the left ear. as for the rest of the shading I'd say that you should try to play around with different shadow values to push stuff forward (like the head/neck/horn and think of it as adding lessening contrast) I think it would really make it pop out a bit more. Anyways nice comp and fun subject!
December 26th, 2008 #5
SS? I'm sure it's a compliment, but I have no idea what you mean.
Also, when you say play around with the values... make them darker or lighter? Change it around?
(Sorry, I must seem really thick.)
Oh, and thanks, too!
December 26th, 2008 #6
ss=subsurface scattering (when light bounces around inside a material kinda)
wait a sec and I'll do a quick paintover, sometimes I don't seem to be able to explain myself.^^
[edit] hope this helps, obviously do it better than this.^^

And, if you did that would be most helpful. Thankyou!
December 26th, 2008 #8
That neck looks way better! Thanks, I shall put it in the final version.
December 26th, 2008 #9
Thanks so much. I did the shading up, also changed the horn to gold to make it stand out more, but not sure whether or not I prefer the grey horn.
December 26th, 2008 #10
very nice work ayem .
I'm looking very hard but i really cant find much to crit which for me is a strange thing.
About the only thing is that you could perhaps make the bottom of the grass a bit darker.
I would really like to see some proper action shots in an environment from you, it could look quite awesome, judging from your other animals.
Keep it up.
The Following User Says Thank You to Muz For This Useful Post:
December 26th, 2008 #11
Muzzoid - Thanks. I keep on meaning to do big action shots... but I never can seem to manage. I just... fall apart at the sketching/planning stage. One day... not tomorrow but the next day I shall make it, I will draw an action scene. (Or at least a picture with a scenic background.)
Grass... good idea! I shall do as such. Then I think I'll submit it to the ol' sketchbook. Thanks!
December 26th, 2008 #12
On a side note, I'd like to add that I really like this concept and I do find it hard to find much to crit on also. The grass needs more work, I know its hard because you don't want it do be to sharp, but regular blur don't look that good with the rest of the comp. The anatomy seems to be a bit of or random at the legs and the chest muscles or maybe its the left sternumastoid (front neck muscles connecting to the wishbone, sry my english is a bit crapy lol).
December 26th, 2008 #13
Thanks. I did do something with the grass for the final image... made it darker at the bottom. It wasn't much, but it made the grass look more finishes.
As for anatomy... horses and other hoofed animals are my weakspot... even with refs I fail.
December 26th, 2008 #14
Well, the randomness on the knees shouldn't be to hard to fix though ^^ refs or no refs! great stuff nonethless

Nice design. He's leaning quite markedly to the left. Flip it and you'll see what I mean.
Remember that in clear sunlight like this you have three light sources to contend with: The strong, directional light from the sun (white to yellow-orange, depending on time of day), the diffused light of the sky filling in the top planes of the shadow (purple-blue), and the color of the ground plane reflecting into the underplanes (brown/yellow/yellow-green, depending on the surface).

Ahoy Cowboy;
Are you going to single hand or one other crew person aboard? If so I would stay under 36 ft. Much bigger than that and they are hard to sail shorthanded. Not to say that it can''t be done, but more work. Who wants to work.
Also keep in mind the bigger the boat the more bucks to do the upkeep. If a bottom job on a 30 foot boat cost 800 dollars a 36 foot boat would be about 2,000 bucks. There is more of everything and and everything id bigger.

(Criterion DVD)
This 1961-63 troika of seething, shadowy masterpiecesIngmar Bergman's mid-career statement on faith, faithlessness, and existential disquietcontinues to chill and fascinate long after his earlier films grow quaint and his later ones begin to seem self-derivative. In particular, Through a Glass Darkly, a study of a family dissolving under the pressure of schizophrenia, contains some of Bergman's most breathtaking passages and one of his best performancesHarriet Andersson as the young wife/daughter/sister trying to hold on to the world as it spins out of her grasp. From there, the question of "the silence of God" is tackled head-on in Winter Light by Gunnar Björnstrand's doubt-tormented priest; by the time of The Silence's apocalyptic abstractions, God has become an afterthought to idle destruction. This startlingly designed Criterion box comes with original trailers and video lectures by Bergman high-hat Peter Cowie. M.A.
(Fantoma DVD)
An adorable, preposterous mutant film from the heyday of international do-your-own-thing moviemania, Alejandro Jodorowsky's 1967 debut supposedly caused a riot at the Acapulco Film Festival and got the Chilean-born director run out of town as a heretic just one month after the Tlatelolco Massacre of protesting students. Only in Mexico: Equal parts 8 1/2 dream sequence, Easy Rider modishness, and Otto Muehl katharsis, the Arrabal-based movie follows two lovers through mountainous terrain searching for a mythical city, and it's just as loopily surrealist as L'Age d'Or. From the first meeting of Lisa crippled gamine riding a wagon-cart equipped with an antique phonographwith a tuxedoed man playing a burning piano in the ruins, it's an anarchic blast from the past. Supplemented by a French documentary feature, La Constellation Jodorowsky. M.A.
(New Line DVD/VHS)
Another four and a half hours of riotous sketch-comedy derangement. In season three, Bob Odenkirk and David Cross liberate Santa, invent ice cream, attempt to flood their hate-mail bag, and reattach a formerly conjoined twin in a riff that the Farrellys' upcoming Stuck on You will be hard-pressed to top. But the real event for Bob & David fans is the straight-to-video release, after a year and a half in New Line's vault, of the Pootie Tang-y spin-off feature, Run Ronnie Run! Plucked from his local Tas-tee Liquor by Hollywood fop Terry Twillstein (Odenkirk), ne'er-do-well Ronnie (Cross) becomes a career felon and reality-TV icon. Plenty of musical highlights, including a Broadway showstopper with naked Mandy Patinkin belting out Ronnie's plaintive torch song ("Can't a man not control his bitch with violence? Y'all are brutalizing me") and a love theme by lubricious duo Three Times One Minus One, complete with beautifully literal-minded music video. DENNIS LIM
(20th Century Fox DVD)
Utterly unintimidated by the indelible Tarkovsky interpretation, Steven Soderbergh actually ups the philosophical-existential ante in this Stanislaw Lem adaptation, fashioning a lyrical, prismatic Roeg-ish reverie à la The Limey. The director's audio commentary, a duet with producer James Cameron, is more entertaining than most, touching on Soderbergh's habit of inverting scenes in the editing room, the original song cues (which included Velvet Underground and Beck), and what Cameron had in mind for his planned version. Shame the package doesn't include the first cut, which Cameron describes as a cross between the last two films the reclusive Lem claims to have seen: 2001 and Last Tango in Paris. D.L.

Sometimes I think that I'm crazy. I'm treating my bracelets as a photo models. As soon as I made it, I'm looking for a good posts for good photos, I emagine that I have my own photo session.
Is it crazy?
No - it isn't crazy at all. When I was first learning to shoot on a professional basis, and being mentored, this was almost exactly what I was required to do for weeks. I used spools of thread, plastic army guys and at one point I even used clementine oranges! When you're learning your camera, lighting, etc. anything is game.
I love the color of the bracelet. Amazing shine! Where are you taking the photos? The boat in the back looks Great!

Hi everyone,
Thank you for the comments. Yes, I make bracelets by myself and I order beads at Beads direct on-line shop.

They are not bad at all but I'd recommend them in your hands.
It's wonderful, Caro! I really love it; hope your mom did, too. BTW, I'm back at last! Missed you, sweetie!
Absolutely not..! It is looking very beautiful. I do have craze about photo session, but I never thought of sharing my photo collection. Thanks for giving me this idea.

Step Up in Syria, Mr. President
It's not just about chemical weapons -- it's about stopping a brutal dictator's war.
- By Fuad Siniora<p> Fuad Siniora is a former Lebanese prime minister. </p>
As the United States contemplates whether to intervene in Syria, one cannot but look back and wonder how a brutal despot managed to turn a peaceful revolution into one of the ugliest civil wars of this generation.
We all know how it started. The people of the southern city of Daraa spontaneously took to the streets in March 2011, asking for retribution after their children were tortured by the regime's internal security forces. And for over six months, as demonstrations spread across the country, Syrians kept peacefully protesting for justice and systemic reforms. The regime's excessive use of force reflected its brutal nature, but Syrians were equally stubborn in seeking a life of freedom, justice, and dignity.
This did not begin as a violent uprising. As Syrians faced bullets with their bare chests in those early days, the demonstrators kept chanting "peaceful, peaceful" and "the Syrian people are one." But the atrocities of the regime and its supporting gangs, the shabiha, eventually forced the Syrian people to take up arms.
The United States now faces a critical decision about whether it will make Bashar al-Assad's regime pay for its latest atrocity — the use of chemical weapons on a Damascus suburb, which killed hundreds of innocent people. If the United States and the international community fail to deal with the ongoing war — and in particular the latest chemical attack — it will send a disastrous message to tyrants across the globe that the world will stand idly by while they slaughter their citizens.
The West should do more than deal with this single attack: It needs to lead a new process to protect Syria and the broader Arab world from fragmentation. It can do so by supporting the forces of moderation, harnessing the spirit of those Syrian protesters who took to the streets early in the revolution calling for peaceful change. The current strategy has led to results directly opposed to Western interests: It has kept the Syrian regime alive and capable of wreaking havoc across the region, radicalized the opposition, and allowed larger Iranian involvement in the Middle East. It is time to change course.
There has already been international intervention in Syria — on the side of the regime. In stark contrast to the many countries that expressed moral sympathy with the Syrian people, Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah have not hesitated to bolster Assad's killing machine. They have provided financial aid, heavy weapons, and military personnel to better assist Assad in killing his own people.
Even as Assad used long-range rockets and modern fighter jets to demolish whole neighborhoods, he cynically portrayed his brutal campaign as a battle against Islamic extremists. He invited the world to choose him as the lesser of two evils, with some success. With the help of Iran and Hezbollah, he continued to deliberately transform a revolution that seeks liberation from a brutal regime into a sectarian conflict — provoking dangerous spillover violence in a region already wracked by religious tensions, especially with the Palestinian issue still unresolved.
At the beginning of the revolution, top figures of the Syrian regime clearly threatened to burn the country to the ground in order to stay in power. More than two years later, it is clear they have made good on their promise: Over 100,000 lives have been lost, over 200,000 people have been injured and many more are imprisoned, and almost a third of the Syrian population is displaced either inside or outside the country. The number of Syrians who have sought shelter in Lebanon now constitutes a quarter of the Lebanese population. And even as Assad fulfills his promise, with the help of Iran and Hezbollah, the world simply watches.
It is inconceivable that Assad would accept the kind of political transition envisioned in the Geneva process, given this state of affairs. In fact, if the current situation is allowed to continue, there is every reason to believe that the tragedy in Syria will continue unabated.
The world — and the West in particular — has a great moral obligation to stop Assad's hateful campaign. In the 21st century, no government should be allowed to use such horrible weapons against its own citizens. The recent, horrific chemical weapons attack is the direct result of the impunity that the Syrian regime is enjoying. Assad has proved that he is willing to slaughter Syrians by the thousands and destroy millennia-old cities to maintain his grip on power. He is a danger to the Syrian people — and to the entire globe.
Beyond the humanitarian case, the United States has a strategic interest in ending the conflict in Syria. The continuation of the war is breeding terrorism and leading to the expansion of Iranian hegemony in the region. These results are contrary to U.S. strategic interests, and the idea that a continuation of the war is somehow in the interests of Washington is absurd. The continuation of the war and this humanitarian tragedy is but an invitation for problems to fester and spread — not just in Syria, but in the Middle East and beyond.

"We send out coffee gift cards to my husbands clients each year and these cards were perfect. I'm able to attach the gift cards to the back of this card. We upgraded the paper and it's beautiful. My only suggestion would be to use a navy print color for the gold strip on the front of the card. I used the suggested white and it is difficult to see!"
"We ordered this design to send out as our holiday card, rather than sending out bulky calendars. We were so happy with the outcome! The colors were vivid just like what is shown on your computer monitor. The included cardstock is very sturdy. We added a colored logo to the bottom of the card and asked the customer service department to center it in the middle of the page, since you can't ensure it's exactly in the middle when using the online design tool. They were quick about getting the changes done and were very friendly. I would recommend this card, as well as Tiny Prints for your project - we will definitely use them again! And, the cards come in adorable packaging! Added bonus."
"I ordered this card and sent it out to my clients and after it was mailed withing two days I had three people calling not only to say thank you for the beautiful card but their first remark was " what a nice design, this card is so different than any other card they usually receive". The card is simple but yet delivers the message so gracefully."
"What I love best about this calendar is that it isn't holiday specific and looks great all year long. I've replaced holiday cards with this as a HAPPY NEW YEAR card that keeps my name in front of clients the whole year. IT'S A HIT in the financial sector where I work b/c it doesn't look like anything else! And, the card stock is of great quality. Tiny Prints graphics helped me to customize it too."
"We were very impressed with the paper quality and color vibrancy. Our logo came out very nicely as well. Crisp, clean, and colorful - it was perfect for our corporate holiday card. Also, customer service was very helpful in allowing us to make two versions of the same card to target different client groups."

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - One in 20 European Union beaches failed to meet EU cleanliness standards in 2005, with pollution for swimmers in lakes and rivers worse than the year before, the EU's environment chief said on Friday.

Especially for kids who might be a little (totally) anxious about random things? Especially for kids who are really outgoing and interested in people, and for whom you don't want to ruin that personality trait? Especially for parents who are pretty laidback but want to cover the basics because it seems kinda crazy not to?
Please and thank you!

Xbox One
Where will Xbox one and playstation 4 be in 1 year?
Playstation 4 will keep trucking on while Microsoft buries the remaining Xbox Ones next to the ET cartridges.
All joking aside, they'll both sell fine, but it's hard trying to imagine the One outselling the PS4 at this point.
Playing: Hotline Miami, System Shock 2, GTA V, Siren Blood Curse, ICO/Shadow of the Colossus, Splinter Cell Blacklist
PSN: T-Snake94, XBL: T-Snake 94
By the end of 2014, the PS4 will be ahead ofthe Xbox One by as much as 50% more console sold. This is due to 3 reasons:
- The $100 price difference
- Two consoles are going to be released in November
- The general idea that you're getting better graphics for less money when you buy PS4
I may buy the Xbox One first, then PS4 a year later just because of the controller. Sony continues to use the same type of stick layout which I flat-out don't like. Yes, I will pay the $100 extra just to be able to use offset sticks.
Do not even bother coming in here stating that there are Xbox 360 controller clones out there for PS3. I have stated a million times that all the aftermarket controllers that I have tried have been garbage due to dead zones and stick sensitivity issues.

In a year's time, the PS4 WILL be leading the pack in sales. Not enough to completely bury the X1, but enough to where developers will take notice, and develop more content for that base.
The X1 will have a strong Christmas, but 2014 remains unknown. If there aren't any hardware failures and once developers get more familiar with the hardware, then we'll see better titles. And while Titanfall and Halo may move units, the X1 will NEVER catch up to the PS4 in sales. The PR they've done up to this point guarantees that. The system will sell well, but the question is will it sell well enough for investors to cease calling for its demise.
The Wii U is a wild card. By next year, it'll have the software to back up the hardware, and the price drop will sweeten the deal. But I can't help that there's some sort of bias against Nintendo. Analysts and game journalists are quick to paint a gloom-and-doom upon Nintendo, due to the Wii U's architecture being inferior, but if the worst-case scenario does happen with the X1, Nintendo will look all the wiser.

And yes of course I realize that MS has changed policies, its still going to have an impact though

Bibi on Peace: 'Let's Get on With It'
G.A. responds enthusiastically, except for one protestor
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was only about four minutes into his speech to the General Assembly of the Jewish federations this morning before he was interrupted by a lone protestor carrying a red, hand-lettered sign, flashing a peace sign, and shouting "Shame on you! Stop the rape of Gaza!" The audience at a Washington Marriott closed ranks around the politician almost as fast as security tackled the man—one person shouted, "We love you, Bibi!" while others booed loudly—and Netanyahu, who seemed entirely unruffled, responded archly: "I was better received at the United Nations than here."
Which wasn't true, of course. At the United Nations last month, whole delegations left in a silent boycott of Netanyahu's address, which included a show-and-tell of documents proving the Nazis' plans to liquidate the Jews of Europe; in Washington, the audience sat rapt as he insisted that he was ready to get down to brass tacks with his Palestinian counterparts about creating an independent Palestinian state. As in his address at Bar-Ilan University last June, Netanyahu was clear about his parameters: no preconditions, no right of return for refugees, total demilitarization of Palestinian territory, and recognition of the Jewish state. But progress, he insisted, as he has for several months now, is entirely in the hands of the Palestinians, and specifically to Mahmoud Abbas, the embattled president of the Palestinian Authority. "My goal is to achieve a permanent peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians, and soon," Netanyahu said, to applause. "I cannot be more emphatic on this point—but to get to a peace agreement, we have to start negotiating a peace agreement. We have to stop negotiating about the negotiations. Let's get on with it! Let's move!" The assembled Jewish leaders cheered.

Astronaut Donald A. Thomas, mission specialist, observes an experiment in the glovebox aboard the Spacelab Science Module in the mid deck of the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Columbia. Thomas is looking through an eye-piece of a camcorder and recording his observations on tape for post-flight analysis. Other cameras inside the glovebox are also recording other angles of the experiment or downlinking video to the experiment teams on the ground. The glovebox is thought of as a safety cabinet with closed front and negative pressure differential to prevent spillage and contamination and allow for manipulation of the experiment sample when its containment has to be opened for observation, microscopy and photography. Although not visible in this view, the glovebox is equipped with windows on top and each side for these observations.

The Children's Innovation Project aims to engage young children in broad interdisciplinary learning, with a focus on creative exploration, expression and innovation with technology. The program uses technology as learning material for students to both explore the world around them and realize their potential to create. Integral to this mission are strong language and observational skills, which the program fosters in participating students. Through activities ranging from sketching the insides of an electrical toy to imagining the kind of circuits or motors in their appliances at home, children develop practices of persistence, precision, collaboration.

Beautiful Bodrum
... fantastic place to visit.
One of the best things about Bodrum is the fascinating underwater discovery museum, housed in a castle overlooking the blue waters. In this museum, we were treated to viewing artifacts from Greek shipwrecks from 500 years BC and onward. There were many clay amphoras (vessel used for transporting a variety of liquids), as well as jewellery, glass, dishware and coins. We were enthralled while looking at these amazing finds, as ...

We fished (caught nothing), and got many pics of the kids, Ryan and Kristy jumping off the top deck of the boat. It was a peaceful, fun, beautiful cove, and a great relaxing way to spend the last full day.

text: This ad was done to show the public how TriWest backs up what they say regarding support of the men and women who have sacrificed much to support our country and all of us. The goal was to create an emotive ad that communicates patriotism in a non-traditional way. Instead of featuring a flag or other patriotic elements, I kept the design simple and used color to communicate.

By John Grabski - September 27, 2004
I picked two tests for each game, one a moderate setting, and one an extreme.
Overclocking obviously helped this card out by quite a bit in most of the
benchmarks ran. Most dramatic are the improvements seen in Battlefield: Vietnam,
taking the card up to a completely acceptable 48 fps at 1600x1200, 2xAA/16xAF...
and since BF:V takes such a big hit from 4xAA, the improvement is definitely
welcome. The synthetic benchmarks also show the decent improvements to be had
from overclocking. Temperatures only rose a degree or two, usually maxing out at
57 for only a brief moment.
If you have a 5800, 5800 Ultra, 5900XT/SE, NU, Ultra or 5950, an upgrade to a
6800 would definitely be noticeable, and would cause goose bumps of gaming joy.
Of course, those goose bumps might not be quite as prominent as those you would
get from a 6800GT or 6800 Ultra, but with the $100 or $200 you save by getting
the non-Ultra, you could buy an extra air conditioner, which would bring you
right back up to GT/Ultra level goose bumps. All kidding aside, the Gainward
card thoroughly trashed the 5800 Ultra, showing that memory bandwidth is not as
crucial to this new architecture as the new and efficient core. I'd like to (for
sentimentality's sake) say that the 5800U approached the 6800 in non-AA/AF
situations due to driver improvements, but... no. The Gainward PowerPack!
Ultra/2100 Golden Sample simply runs circles around the previous generation, for
a fair price.
Enthusiasts expected an across-the-board improvement over the nv3x series, and
they got it. The 6800 Non-Ultra outperforms the previous generation of video
cards quite comfortably, and despite the "slow" memory, it can handle AA and AF
very capably. The lack of a vertex unit and rendering quad really doesn't kill
this card's performance as much as one would think, its overclocking performance
is great, it runs cool, the cooling solution is well-thought-out and quiet, and
the newer Forceware drivers provide awesome performance. The software bundle is
what one can expect for this great of a card priced at only $299 (basically just
the bare essentials) This card is definitely worth the money. My sincere thanks
go to Charlotte Su at Gainward for providing this review sample.
Oh, wait, there's another version of this card?
Well into my review, Charlotte sent me a single-slot PowerPack! Ultra/2100
Golden Sample Single Slot card to check out, which will be provided to the
American market, which seems to enjoy single slot cards more. Using the same
exact PCB, this card however uses a copper cooler similar to nVidia's reference
design. Though quieter and less space-consuming, the card ran hotter (55 in 2d
mode, 55-57 in 3d, 56-59 when overclocked), and did not overclock quite as well
(390/840, 10mhz less for core and memory than the 2-Slot version). However, the
card looks great, performs similarly, comes with the same accessory and software
bundle, and takes up less space. This is the Gainward Golden Sample that will be
available to the American market, and despite the hotter temperatures and such,
it will still be a great deal to any prospective money-conscious enthusiast.

Cleveland Browns
Detroit Lions
Any time that the Detroit Lions or Cleveland Browns can get a victory, it's a good day for their franchises, even if that win does come in NFL preseason betting action. We look at the NFL preseason odds at this duel in the Motor City for Saturday night's nationally televised game on the NFL Network.
The Browns tasted defeat for the first time since December 6th last weekend when the St. Louis Rams took them out to the tune of 19-17. Holding onto the football was a huge problem, as fumbling the ball seven times was the cause for their demise. This week, in spite of the fact that they are playing in a dome, the Browns practiced in wet conditions, as the field and the players were all soaked when trying to run and throw the football. Both QBs Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace have performed admirably in the preseason, but the real pressure might be set to fall on the back of Colt McCoy. The rookie out of Texas has tentatively been named the future of this franchise, but that could change in a hurry if he doesn't get in gear. McCoy only has 25 passing yards to his credit so far in two games, and he generated a pair of two and outs and nothing more in the loss to the Rams last week.
On the contrary, prior to last week's 25-20 win over the Denver Broncos at Mile High, the last time the Lions won a game was back on November 22nd (ironically, against these Browns). This game could prove to be the coming out party for QB Matt Stafford, who has thrown for 191 yards and a pair of TDs so far in the preseason. The world is waiting for Stafford, last season's No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, to come out of his shell and prove that he can be a dominant force at this level. Considering the fact that this is the home debut and the game is nationally televised, a good half of football could set him up for a fantastic year in the Motor City. Still, generating some defense would be nice as well, as averaging allowing 21.5 points per game as Detroit is in the preseason isn't going to cut it.
For a home opener, this is a really soft line to play into. Detroit is being asked to lay less than a field goal to a team that, on paper is awfully similar in stature. The difference is that Delhomme is a proven veteran and could probably care less about what the preseason brings him. That isn't the case for Stafford. Expect the youngster to guide his team to a relatively comfortable victory on Saturday in front of the bright lights of national TV.
Selection: Detroit Lions -2
