A single artificial neuron can represent some simple Boolean functions like OR, AND or NAND and some like XOR not, because a single artificial neuron can only learn linearly separable mappings.
Example. Perceptron for the AND function:
One of my long term projects is to develope an automatic medical diagnosis device. During my research I came up with the so called naive Bayes classifier and started to learn about this kind of machine learning. In the attached PDF I use the example given on the wikipedia page but in greater details. If you want to learn more about naive Bayes classifier, I recommend the following one: http://guidetodatamining.com/guide/ch6/DataMining-ch6.pdf
Today I found a PLR 15 laser range finder from Bosch for 45 Euro in a German DIY store. I bought and disassembled it to see if it could be used as a laser ranger finder in robotics. The main issue will be to debug the communication protocol. I hope it outputs distance measurements over serial directly like the UNI-T UT390B.
I am writing an OS for my future robots. So far the system is more or less a simple CAS (Computer Algebra System). The idea is that not only the user can use the CAS, but also the robot itself. It can solve linear and quadratic equations, includes linear regressions and a simple scientific calculator. The standard order of operations (1. exponents and roots, 2. multiplication and division, 3. addition and subtraction) is used. For the equation string parser I conceived a simple algorithm.The string will be simplified till only addition is left. Example:
I just started to build a second version of a pulse oximeter. If you don't know what a pulse oximeter is, here is a simple but detailed description what a pulse oximeter is and how it works.
Today I found this in a local Carrefour store in Qingdao for 70 RMB. It has two RGB LED's which illuminate the ears and a couple of buttons. When certain buttons are pressed, it plays some songs or speaks some text (in Chinese).
I will probably hack it and build an emotional/chat robot out of it. In a first step I will take it apart and see what's inside (if my daughter let me...)
I have cleaned up the interactive Stochastic Learning Automaton code I once wrote and attached it in this short blog. Just send '0' or '1' via serial monitor, if a chosen action was favorable or unfavorable and see how the automaton learns to chose the right action over time.
A funny afternoon in the office, some robot talk, and one of my Chinese artwork girls with some photoshop fu came up with this (it's me!)
That said, I really want to build a life-sized humanoid robot...And it will kill us all!
In the following I describe a simple 4 pixel camera sensor, which can be versatilely used in robotics.
The sensor consists in general of four pin photo diodes with a relatively large photo sensitive area, arranged in a square, and an according collimator lens. Every photo diode can be thought of a quadrant of a two dimensional graph. We can use the sensor to measure the intensity of light, detect motions, track a light source in two dimensions or do basic 2-D optical flow calculations.
Attached you find the Rev. 0 schematic of COSMA's brain (Eagle). This board connects directly to a FTDI board. As I need MOSI, MISO and SCK also for the micro SD card, I added solder jumpers, so those pins are not connected to the SD card/voltage level shifter while burning the bootloader on the chip.
The board mainly contains:
For the first protoype of COSMA I decided to build stackable proto shields for the Arduino Mega. Later I will layout a single PCB, including all.
Proto shield one
Proto shield two
My daughter Mia is 2 years old. Every evening she is sitting next to me and helping me building a robot.
In the meantime I named the robot astronaut Cosma, a maiden name, ancient Greek for Cosmos. Below you'll find a more specific design study. I think I will 3-D print the main body and the head. I've furthermore tested a FSR (force sensing resistor) as a kind of pain receptor and the ArduEye.
After Robonaut 2 and the ongoing KIBO project, we could be the third to send a humanoid robot to Space. See my attached AT-A-GLANCE project description.

HMOD-1 Update 1
HMOD-1 Update 2
HMOD-1 upper body under construction:
Some further work done...
Changed geared motors of the Makeblock platform (from 6 V, gear ratio 1:75 to 12 V, gear ratio 1:184):
CNC machined nylon deck:
Platform with nylon deck, Arduino Mega, motor controller and Li-Po battery:
I am working since a while on a new humanoid to continue my AI experiments. So far I have finished a conceptual 3-D-drawing, based on the parts I want to use. The 2WD base is from Makeblock, the upper body the Johnny 5 torso from Lynxmotion. I have cancled the base rotate turntable and changed the original 1 DOF head with ultrasonic sensor to a 2 DOF head with compound eye.
Whenever I observe my daughter, I find that she likes to collect things. The more, the better. Usually as much as she can carry. As she can not count, how can she distinguish, what are more things and what are less things?
My daughter with objects in both hands
I am experimenting these days with trial-and-error algorithms.
In the last two days I have reworked the algorithm of choice completely. The code is now much shorter and a great number of actions can be easily added. I have listed the code sketch below.
My next robot will be based on a variable structure stochastic learning automaton (VSLA) , which is similar to the approach David L. Heiserman describes in his book How to Build Your Own Self-Programming Robot. As I am using quite a lot of mathematical notations and equations I have attached the first chapter as a pdf for better readability. I'll add more chapters later.
Update 22/09/2012: Chapter 2 attached
I am currently in the engineering phase to build a pulse oximeter. I mainly make use of the following references:
The compound eye from DAGU, designed by Oddbot, is cool and cheap. But I needed a round board to imitate the human eye, so I made one by myself. The IR LED's and photo transistors are the same as in the original design. As I had no PN 100 transistor, I used a BD 139 (the 4 IR LED's draw approx. 100 mA @ 5 V).
Front view of the perf board
I finished the 6 DOF robot hand for my project Te no atama today. Here are some pictures. The thumb has two degrees of freedom. The primarily function of the hand is to display hand gestures. A 2 DOF wrist will be added. All servos have a metal gear and are digital.
Sneak preview of my new project. Just some pics...

"Baby" at age 17, the year she passed over.
Tommie, the ginger who came to play with the kittens several yrs ago and stayed.
Tori passed over the Rainbow bridge a week or so after this picture was taken. She had come from an abusive home either on her own or was dumped a couple years ago and after a long time of getting used to not being abused she came to trust me and would allow me to pet her. She also became my foot warmer and was at the foot of the bed every night when I retired for the day, except for that last night, she didn't make it home that night. . . . Tori is missed.
Handsome and he knows it!
"Gabby" AKA Sundance's Traveling Man.
This was Grayson as a kitten, he is gone now, disappeared July 19, 2007.
Grayson was a Blue Spotted Bengal and Gabby's half-brother.
Gabby and Grayson at play.
He was such a lover-boy!
This is my boy, Grayson. I still miss him and think about him often and always wonder what happened to him. I've always thought a former neighbor took him as he disappeared the day they moved out and the guy was the only person Grayson would go to (other than me) because he didn't trust people. His registered name was Sundance's Grey Ghost and like a ghost was seen by only a slecte few people. He was 2 yrs old when he disappeared.

BLUF: Huge raw power plays despite strikeouts, making him a potential All-Star.
The Player: Trayce Thompson (OF, Chicago White Sox) – Out of character for the Sox, Thompson was an over-slot second round pick in 2009. After debuting in rookie ball that summer, he made his full-season debut with Kannapolis in 2010, posting a .229/.302/.433 line as a 19-year old. He repeated the level in 2011 and improved across the board with a .241/.329/.457 line that was buoyed by 36 doubles and 24 home runs. In 116 games with High-A Winston-Salem in 2012, he ripped 28 doubles and 22 home runs along with a career high batting average of .254. He received brief trials at Double-A and Triple-A at the end of the season, hitting .280 and .167, respectively.
Basis of Report: Compilation – Personal Observation (SAL 2011), Industry Contacts
Scouting Report
Body (6-3, 195): Big, strong, physical body. Prototypical frame and athleticism. Plus-plus athlete. Major League body right now. Looks the part stepping off the bus.
Hit: Tons of swing and miss that will always be present. Lacks recognition of spin, leading to flailing swings on just mediocre breaking balls. Actually knows the strike zone very well, just has to improve pitch recognition. Swing is shorter now than early in career. Uses the whole field better and can drive the ball to all parts of the park. Will work counts at times and that can allow him to get in a position to find pitches to punish. Swing and miss tendencies will hold back hitting projection, leaving him as a well below-average hitter long term. Grade – 20/30
Power: Huge raw. Enormous pull power and more than enough pop to drive the ball out of the park to center and the opposite field. Very good bat speed and highly leverage swing generates power. Has potential for 25+ home runs, even in spite of contact issues. Power already present in live game situations. Grade (raw power) – 70/70
Arm: Easy plus arm and occasional throws better than that. True weapon in CF and can support move to RF as well. Will help control the opposition's running game with his arm. Grade – 60/60
Fielding: Solid defender in CF. Takes good routes and generally has good reads. Not a burner in CF but has ability to go get it in the gaps. Can stick in CF but has classic RF profile as well. Plus defender if moved to a corner, average up the middle. Grade – 50/50 (in CF)
Speed: Average runner home to first. Aggressive base runner that can take extra bases and make things happen. Improved instincts led to better base stealing. Could steal 15-20 bases a year at the big league level. Speed plays in CF. Athleticism should allow him to maintain speed long term. Grade – 50/50
Summation: Tools galore. Impressive plus-plus raw stands out in BP and games. Potential for 25 home runs a year and additional power in the form of doubles and triples. Average will be low, possibly in the .250 range. Will strikeout frequently but power is so impressive and real that it still plays. Will get on base a little bit because of knowledge of the strike zone and willingness to work counts. Arm is a weapon that can control base runners. Solid defender in CF but doesn't stand out. Could be plus glove in RF, with arm to match and overall physical and offensive profile to fit the RF corner. Potential All-Star despite swing-and-miss issues. Still needs some developmental time.
Relative Risk: High. Contact issues will always make him a high-risk player.
Future: Thomspon is ready for his first true challenge at the upper levels of the system. He should start the 2013 season in Double-A and could move to Triple-A before the end of the campaign. Should be on the White Sox radar for the 2014 season.

Fujifilm FinePix F770EXR and F750EXR superzoom compacts announced
Fujifilm has announced the Fujifilm FinePix F770EXR and F750EXR superzoom cameras, which are clearly compacts in name only.
Inside their little chassis are professional cameras waiting to burst out - with a raft of heavy hitting features making the F770EXR and F750EXR much more than fun snappers. The only difference that we can see between the two models is that the F770EXR packs enhanced GPS capabilities with a new high sensitivity antenna, an iOS-like Route Log mapping function and a landmark locator.
Both cameras pack 20x optical zooms, which their makers claim is a first for snappers this small and improved 16-megapixel EXR-CMOS sensors with EXR Auto tech on board for 103 different shooting patterns. They have an ISO range of 100 - 12800, can shoot RAW files, have an 11fps continuous shooting mode option and Intelligent Digital Zoom tech for an effective maximum telephoto setting of 1000 mm.
Throw in 1080p video recording at 30fps with stereo sound and a 3-inch, 460k dot display, and you can see why these aren't the fun cameras that you should be buying for your mum to chuck into her handbag.
Instead, you could perhaps get her the Fujifilm FinePix F660EXR - which drops down to a 15x optical zoom but keeps the majority of the big boy's features packed inside a robust exterior.
If you're in the market for a more socially acceptable compact then you could consider the Fujifilm FinePix Z1000EXR - which adds interaction with your iPhone, iPad or Android device using a free app and instant uploading to social networks using its built-in wireless features. Again, a 16-megapixel CMOS camera; this time packing a 3.5-inch display.
Further down on the scale, Fujifilm has also announced the Fujifilm FinePix Z110 with a 14.1 mega-pixel CCD sensor, 5x optical Fujinon zoom lens and 720p video recording; the Fujifilm FinePix T350 and FinePix T400 "value" (read: cheap) compacts with their 16 and 14-megapixel CCD sensors and 10x optical zooms; the Fujifilm FinePix JX700, JX580, JX550, JX520 and JX500 "simple, but stylish" cams with sunlight protection (not for your skin) and the Fujifilm FinePix JZ250 and FinePix JZ100 compact zoomers with built in stabilisation technology.
Yep, that's right - Fujifilm has decided to announce 14 new compacts in one day. As well as a plethora of other ranges. CES-crazy season, it seems, is well under-way.
There's no word on pricing as of yet, or release dates; but we have had word from Fujifilm that at least 17 or the 27 cameras announced in total will be hitting the UK.

Honduras at the Paralympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Honduras at the Paralympic Games
|Paralympic history
|Summer Games
Honduras made its Paralympic Games début at the 1996 Summer Paralympics in Atlanta, with a two-man delegation in track and field. It has competed in every subsequent edition of the Summer Paralympics, but never in the Winter Paralympics. Honduran delegations have always been small, never including more than two competitors. All Honduran Paralympians have been runners, and none has won a Paralympic medal so far.[1]

ZOMBIE THREAD ALERT: This thread hasn't been posted on for a while.
about the size of my house?(136 Posts)
I own (outright, no mortgage) a three bedroomed terraced house. It's not a large home but it is a lovely one. There is a small garden, beautiful views and it's in a really nice location near parks and our little town centre - just perfect. However, my dad claims it's too small to be a 'family home
I wondered what sort of homes you all lived in ... ?
<snort> at one bus an hour being "total" dependence on a car.
Location is everything. 4 of us in a 2 bedroom apartment. Small, but within 2 steps of a swimming beach, cafes, a supermarket and across the road from a large park. 10 mins walk along a waterfront promenade to work. Wouldn't move for the world.
Parents indeed!
My Dad always finds one thing to moan about when he visits, this week he saw DSs new bedroom furnished for the first time, his comment "oh doesn't his bed look tiny in here" "yes Dad it's a toddler bed and eventually he will have a bigger bed and more furniture in it" "I know but his bed looks so small"
We have just extended a 3 bed (1 tiny boxroom) into a 5 bed house. We have 4 DCs so they all have their own bedrooms now.
Last week he was telling us to knock a window through in the dining room. He's also always going on about the garden, yes it's a mud pit after the building work but we cannot afford the 2K or so it would cost to landscape it. We've also had a playroom put on the back, he was telling us to use it as a dining room, I was trying to tell him that as family a second lounge/playroom/toy dumping ground was a better use of it, no he wild make it a dining room.
He cannot visit without making some comment. I ignore most of them now.
Three bedrooms is fine and mortgage free is amazing.
Houses are only small if you have a lot of stuff. There's generally potential to downsize your stuff before compromising on other things.
3 bed house for me and DH. No way near enough space for us, but that is because we own too much rubbish.
Trills I live 4 miles outside a major city. There are buses into the city every 5 minutes and also good routes to other suburbs, the nearby town etc. This is absolutely brilliant for teenagers because they can find their way round independently.
Yes teenagers living in this particular private estate can get the single bus which takes them into town to go shopping, and get the same route to go home again. But apart from such trips their parents are probably chauffeuring them round a lot. Bikes would be possible, but some of the roads and roundabouts aren't that great. Walking into the nearest town would take a good 40 minutes and not be terribly pleasant. So one reason why I like living where I do is it's a place where my teenager and her mates can enjoy moving around independently, and get more savvy and streetwise when it comes to being used to the occasional drunk/drug users/person talking to her/himself on buses. If we lived out in the country or on the sort of posh estate I described above, our family life would be rather different.
That's called "more dependence on a car than you would like.
Not "total". Not by a long way.
IMO having the money free to spend on experiences such as holidays and days out is what will matter most your children when they look back. I don't think children care whether their house is a massive vicarage. They will remember the great times that you had and things you could do.
I think you are really sensible. Too many people push themselves financially to have houses they can't really afford. Your dad should be so proud that you are setting a great example of how to leave within your means happily.
Trills I realise that many places - especially in rural areas - are very badly off indeed in terms of public transport. The underlying point is that, to me, being at home in an area is not just about the property I'm living in. It's about the community and its facilities. If you're planning on having a family, I'd want to think about parks, playgroups, nurseries, a local library, schools etc. Because one can feel quite alone with a new baby, it's also good to have neighbours, to bump into people you know as your're walking along the street. Many new housing estates don't have that sort of infrastructure because of the assumption of car ownership. So I might prefer to live in a less obviously desirable house in a thriving community, than an estate agent's dream a long way from anywhere.
OP, our house is very similar to yours, though we still have few years left on the mortgage. We have 2 dc and are a little squashed, but happy in our home. It is well organised, cared for and decorated to our taste. And though it is small, it has everything we need. We have thought of moving from time to time, but are now glad we haven't saddled ourselves with a bigger mortgage in the current financial climate. So, the house is not a problem for us. Unfortunately, the rest of the world doesn't see it like this. I have lost count of the number of times various friends, acquaintances and family members have felt compelled to comment on the size of our house. This ranges from "your house is so lovely, shame you'll have to move" to "I don't know how you cope in here, you really need more space". We have also had invitations to our home for a meal turned down with the explanation that it would be better to meet elsewhere so everyone has space. Whilst I have a thick skin most of the time, it does get to me every once in a while! I'm beginning to wonder whether other people are so bothered by this because they want to be friends with us, but in some way would like us to live up to some image/social status they are aspiring to themselves?

Senate Republicans Attempt To Raid Food Stamps In Farm Bill (UPDATED)
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is advancing an amendment to the 2012 farm bill that will cut $11 billion over ten years from the food stamp program. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) agreed to bring the measure up for a vote, along with an amendment from Sen. Kirstin Gillibrand (D-NY) that may "restore some of the lost funding" that is in the underlying bill.
Sessions claims that the cuts would prevent fraud in the program. As he put it during a June 7th floor speech:
We also have to ask: Is the benefit going to the right people? Is the money being expended wisely? Is it helping people become independent? Is it encouraging people to look for ways to be productive and be responsible for their families? Or does it create dependency on a series of government programs?
There are a number of reasons for the arresting trend of growth in this program. While the poor economy has undeniably increased the number of people on food stamps, this alone cannot explain the extraordinary growth in the program. … [T]he way the system is arranged—with states administering the program but the feds paying for it—states have an incentive to see their food stamp budgets swell, not shrink. That means overlooking a dramatic amount of fraud and abuse.
But the fraud rate is only 1 percent in the food stamps program and overall error rates have plunged in recent years, hitting an all-time low in 2010, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
According to a study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, food stamps reduced the poverty rate by 8 percent in 2009 and "lifted the average poor person's income up about six percent closer to the [federal poverty] line." In 2010, the program kept more than 5 million Americans from falling below the poverty line and reduced the number of children living in extreme poverty — defined as less than $2 per day, before government aid — by half in 2011.
This post incorrectly stated that the cuts in Sessions' amendment amounted to $4 billion, which would reduce average benefits by $90 per month for select households. Those cuts are in the underlying legislation advanced by Sessions and Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI). Sessions' amendment would have cut billions of dollars in addition to those in the underlying bill. We apologize for the error.

The conductor which is a metallic wire forms the path for current to flow when a sufficient potential difference is applied between points 'a' and 'e'.
The Non-conducting ceramic material isolates the conductor and the base of the bulb in order to avoid short circuiting of the current flow path.
When sufficient potential difference is applied, the current flows along the conductor from a-b-c-d-e and completes the path. This situation is shown in the below figure.
The following figure shows the parts of a bulb.

@MISC{Dasgupta_immunity-basedintrusion, author = {Dipankar Dasgupta}, title = { Immunity-Based Intrusion Detection System: A General Framework}, year = {}}
This paper focuses on investigating immunological principles in designing a multi-agent system for intrusion/anomaly detection and response in networked computers. In this approach, the immunity-based agents roam around the machines (nodes or routers), and monitor the situation in the network (i.e. look for changes such as malfunctions, faults, abnormalities, misuse, deviations, intrusions, etc.). These agents can mutually recognize each other's activities and can take appropriate actions according to the underlying security policies. Specifically, their activities are coordinated in a hierarchical fashion while sensing, communicating and generating responses. Such an agent can learn and adapt to its environment dynamically and can detect both known and unknown intrusions. This research is the part of an effort to develop a multi-agent detection system that can simultaneously monitor networked computer's activities at different levels (such as user level, system level, process level and packet level) in order to determine intrusions and anomalies. The proposed intrusion detection system is designed to be flexible, extendible, and adaptable that can perform real-time monitoring in accordance with the needs and preferences of network administrators. This paper provides the conceptual view and a general framework of the proposed system.

Try this Thin and Crispy French Fries recipe, or contribute your own.
14 people want to try | 25 have favorited
Using knife or French-fry cutter, cut peeled potatoes into 1/4" strips. Rinse or soak in cold water. Start heating enough Crisco Shortening to fill a 3-quart saucepan half full, or a deep fryer within 1/2" of the fill mark. Dry potato strips thoroughly on paper towel. FOR EXTRA QUICK FRENCH FRIES: Heat deep Crisco Shortening to 365 degrees F. For electric deep fryer, follow manufacturers directions for amount of potato strips to fry at one time. For saucepan, cook 2-3 cups of potato strips at one time, adding slowly. Cook until potatoes are tender and lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes. Drain potatoes on paper towel. While frying remaining potatoes, keep fried ones warm in oven set at low temperature. Salt or season as desired. If desired, frozen French fried potatoes can be used in place of fresh potatoes. For best results, fry about 10-15 minutes in Crisco Shortening using the above directions. FOR EXTRA CRISP FRENCH FRIES (FOR FRESH POTATOES ONLY): Fry potatoes FIRST time at 325 degrees F. for about 3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towel. Cool at least 15 minutes at room temperature. If desired, cool up to 3 hours. To serve, re-heat crisco to 365 degrees F. and fry potato strips a second time for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. This recipe has been on the Crisco label since 1938.

Hadoop MapReduce provides transparent parallelization but often results in specialized code bases that interact with low-level data formats. We present a means of using dependency injection to manage data flows in MapReduce which in turn supports reusable, Hadoop-agnostic application code that interacts with high-level business domain objects. An example is provided that applies Dependency Injection to the Hadoop WordCount example and shows how the same code invoked from the WordCount MapReduce job can be reused in a real-time context. We then discuss Opower's application of this pattern to employ the same core calculations in both batch processing and in servicing real-time requests from end users. This topic will be of interest to those interested in reusing core batch calculations in real-time contexts. It also provides a means forward for organizations moving to Hadoop that have existing code components that they would like to employ in batch MapReduce computations.

Unless I'm forgetting something, it's not > guaranteed anywhere that you can mix f-s-c and standard-class. Well, I think it's not forbidden anywhere in the MOP: It says 1) "Instances of the class FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS support multiple inheritance and reinitialization." 2) "Direct Superclass Relationships Among The Specified Metaobject Classes ... FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT - (STANDARD-OBJECT FUNCTION)" 3) "The class STANDARD-OBJECT is the default direct superclass of the class STANDARD-CLASS. When an instance of the class STANDARD-CLASS is created, and no direct superclasses are explicitly specified, it defaults to the class STANDARD-OBJECT. In this way, any behavior associated with the class STANDARD-OBJECT will be inherited, directly or indirectly, by all instances of the class STANDARD-CLASS. A subclass of STANDARD-CLASS may have a different class as its default direct superclass, but that class must be a subclass of the class STANDARD-OBJECT. The same is true for FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS and FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT." 4) "(VALIDATE-SUPERCLASS (class CLASS) (superclass CLASS)) This method returns true in three situations: - If the superclass argument is the class named T, - if the class of the class argument is the same as the class of the superclass argument, or - if the class of one of the arguments is STANDARD-CLASS and the class of the other is FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS." To me, 1) means that when a class is instance of FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS, it can have multiple direct superclasses. 2) means that for instances of FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS, inheriting from STANDARD-OBJECT and FUNCTION is a normal behaviour. And 3) is irrelevant because it talks only about the case that no direct superclasses were explicitly specified. Since every FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS instance inherits from STANDARD-OBJECT, why would it have problems inheriting from a subclass of STANDARD-OBJECT ?

"And How to fall in love with a city...." Top 5 Page for this destination Granada by Carmela71
Granada Travel Guide: 2,065 reviews and 5,240 photos
Granada is a famous city and not only because the Alhambra and all the Moslem style monuments.
"Give something to the poor blind man,
because there?s nothing crueller in life
than to be blind in Granada"...
"Granada, city of Enchantment and Fantasy" were the words of Washington Irving who was captivated by this place.
The best time to come and visit Granada is in September & October or April & may, it is not to hot and not to cold.
If you want to see something typically Spanish you should come to the Cruces, this festival is on the 3rd of May and all the streets are full filled of flowers and outside music and pubs. Everybody enjoying themselves. In every corner there is a cross of flowers and everybody compete to have the best one. Cordoba as well has this party but I do not have photos scanned at the moment.
Granada has a lot of Baroque Architecture that it is not as famous but is equally beautiful to visit.
Granada is a university town and offers a range of amenities comparable to those of any modern city.
As well you will be able to do skiing in the highest mountain of Spain. Sierra Nevada.
All Photos had been take by me or Stace (Beach_dog)
Granada tiene un encanto especial. La union de las culturas cristianas y arabes no podria haber dado mejor fruto!
Un paseo por las murallas de la alcazaba, por el barrio del Albaicin, una visita a la catedral y a la cartuja, terminando con una vsita a La Alhambra.
La mejor epoca para visitar Granada es en Septiembre y Octubre o en Abril y Mayo, cuando ni el calor ni el frio son extremos.
Pero en particular os aconsejaria Mayo, las cruces de Mayo!, son el 3 de mayo, todo el mundo se echa a las calles, reina la animacion, la musica, huele a jazmin ....
Granada bien merece una visita, pero cuidado se vuelve una adicta, y no se quiere ir!
- Pros:Love this city .... the mix of cultures ...
- Cons:very cold in winter and hot in summer
- In a nutshell:Free tapas with the drink and atmosphere in the streets

I enjoyed your Granada page so much! I recently returned from a two weeks' stay there, and Granada made an unforgettable mpression on me! I hope to go back!
To see the architecture of the palace and follow its history over the ages must be surreal. YOu have done a nice job of showing the sites and the comments very well prepared.
Your tourist trap photos seem more of an illustration of a walk through the Alhambra. What is the trap?
I don't understand your tourist trap tips. They don't seem to be traps to me.
great tips amiga! was able to book the hotel you recommended and now i'm about to buy alhambra tickets online. muchas gracias usted!
Nice page! Off to Granada very soon, so thanks for the tour!
Hola Carmen :) I liked your Alhambra page so much. Also your tips are useful. all the best. Bora
Does the Alhambra have an audio guide, or should I buy a printed guide in advance? It is too big to remember all of the details!
Hola Carmela 71 You may want to change the classification for your Alhambra tips as they are currently all listed under tourist traps. Seem a bit unfair on the Alhambra :)
Yesterday I watched a TV programme named "The most beautiful castles of Europe', the one dedicated to La Alhambra. *Fingers crossed*, if everything goes as I want, Pyrenees are for spring 2009... tssss

Randgold Slumps as Production Shortfall Raises Costs
Randgold Resources Ltd., a producer of the metal in West Africa, fell the most in six months in London trading as costs surged after power cuts curbed output.
Costs per gold ounce mined rose 39 percent to $665 in the second quarter from a year earlier after power outages at the Loulo mine in Mali slowed operations, Randgold said today in a statement. The company reduced its full-year guidance and said it would be within 5 percent of a 477,000-ounce target.
"One major negative is that group cash costs continue to increase and are high," Dominic O'Kane, an analyst at Liberum Capital Ltd., wrote in a note. "Randgold's valuation is only justified by successful delivery."
The company, which is developing its first underground mine at Loulo to access higher-grade ore found deep under the earth's surface, follows gold-mining peers Petropavlovsk Plc and African Barrick Gold Ltd. in lowering full-year guidance.
Randgold fell 320 pence, or 5.6 percent, to 5,395 pence, by 4:30 p.m. in London, the steepest decline since Feb. 4.
"We're at a point where we have identified the issue" in Mali, Chief Executive Officer Mark Bristow said in an interview in London today. "By the fourth quarter we should be settled."
Net income jumped to $34.4 million in the second quarter from $14.9 million a year earlier as gold prices increased, the company sold shares in Volta Resources Inc. and it wrote-back an earlier provision, according to Randgold's statement.
Sales were little changed at $102.6 million, while gold output fell 23 percent to 93,880 attributable ounces. Gold for immediate delivery averaged $1,196.53 an ounce in the period compared with $922.13 in the corresponding three months of 2009.
Randgold is developing mines in Senegal, Mali and Ivory Coast, and last year agreed with South Africa's AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. to acquire Moto Goldmines Ltd., which has a deposit in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In Chicago on Thursday, during an episode of the "The Oprah Winfrey Show", the mistress of John Edward reported that she is not in any way responsible for destroying the marriage of the former presidential candidate. The mistress, Rielle Hunter told Winfrey that in her experience a third person can never wrack a home, instead before the arrival of the third party in the picture, the problems tune up.
The host Winfrey once again fueled up her question asking if the lady wrecked his home for which she again denied. Remember the former North Carolina senator who two years ago had confessed his affair with Rielle Hunter, its after that long period the lady has encountered her first televised interview through the Winfrey's show.
John Edward in January, after denying for a while confessed that he and Hunter had a daughter of 2 years of age. And now he and Elizabeth Edwards, his wife are estranged.
The mistress unveiled her notion of being negatively witnessed by the people since her affair disclosed.
She said in the interview that she met Edward in a hotel and went forward to tell him that he looked hot, and with few frequent phone conversations she fell in love with him.

text: Climate Ice In Rapid Retreat In Warming World by Brad Johnson Aug 19, 2011 12:00 pm Share 12 Tweet Comment Antarctic ice velocity mapA vast network of previously unmapped glaciers on the move from thousands of miles inland to the Antarctic coast has been charted for the first time by UC Irvine scientists. "If we lose ice at the coasts from the warming ocean, we open the tap to the ice in the interior," says Thomas Wagner, a cryospheric program scientist with NASA's MEaSUREs program. Other scientists have found that the speed at which sand dunes drift across the Antarctic desert has tripled in the past 40 years, as warming temperatures loosen the ice and power wind. A new study by the Indian Space Research Organization and the Geological Survey of India in Kolkata reports that 80 percent of India's Himalayan glaciers are receding. Researchers have also found that Greenland's longest-observed glacier, Mittivakkat Glacier, made two consecutive record losses in mass observations for 2010 and 2011.

Microsoft has begun patching files on Windows XP and Vista without users' knowledge, even when the users have turned off auto-updates.
Many companies require testing of patches before they are widely installed, and businesses in this situation are objecting to the stealth patching.
Files changed with no notice to users
In recent days, Windows Update (WU) started altering files on users' systems without displaying any dialog box to request permission. The only files that have been reportedly altered to date are nine small executables on XP and nine on Vista that are used by WU itself. Microsoft is patching these files silently, even if auto-updates have been disabled on a particular PC.
It's surprising that these files can be changed without the user's knowledge. The Automatic Updates dialog box in the Control Panel can be set to prevent updates from being installed automatically. However, with Microsoft's latest stealth move, updates to the WU executables seem to be installed regardless of the settings — without notifying users.
When users launch Windows Update, Microsoft's online service can check the version of its executables on the PC and update them if necessary. What's unusual is that people are reporting changes in these files although WU wasn't authorized to install anything.
This isn't the first time Microsoft has pushed updates out to users who prefer to test and install their updates manually. Not long ago, another Windows component, svchost.exe, was causing problems with Windows Update, as last reported on June 21 in the Windows Secrets Newsletter. In that case, however, the Windows Update site notified users that updated software had to be installed before the patching process could proceed. This time, such a notice never appears.

The Boots are from the Italian Brand BRAKO not really cheap but worthy!

Natural resource professionals in the United States recognize that climate-induced changes in phenology can substantially affect resource management. This is reflected in national climate change response plans recently released by major resource agencies. However, managers on-the-ground are often unclear about how to use phenological information to inform their management practices. Until recently, this was at least partially due to the lack of broad-based, standardized phenology data collection across taxa and geographic regions. Such efforts are now underway, albeit in very early stages. Nonetheless, a major hurdle still exists: phenology-linked climate change research has focused more on describing broad ecological changes rather than making direct connections to local to regional management concerns. To help researchers better design relevant research for use in conservation and management decision-making processes, we describe phenology-related research topics that facilitate "actionable" science. Examples include research on evolution and phenotypic plasticity related to vulnerability, the demographic consequences of trophic mismatch, the role of invasive species, and building robust ecological forecast models. Such efforts will increase phenology literacy among on-the-ground resource managers and provide information relevant for short- and long-term decision-making, particularly as related to climate response planning and implementing climate-informed monitoring in the context of adaptive management. In sum, we argue that phenological information is a crucial component of the resource management toolbox that facilitates identification and evaluation of strategies that will reduce the vulnerability of natural systems to climate change. Management-savvy researchers can play an important role in reaching this goal.

snooze time....
I don't think of golf balls when I see Titleist, I think of Seinfeld.
Coincidence that golf spelled backwards is flog? Meethinks not.
For a short moment there, I thought the last picture was a trading card.
Will these work with my brown Zune?
