We woke up after another loud/hot night of sleep and got out of Amsterdam quick. We hopped on the 7am train to Utrecht and arrived a short 30 minutes later. We have a good 1 mile walk to our AirBnB place and we already love this city, it's a smaller canal community with cute houses and nice people. We arrive at our place and are greeted by our hosts, Elke and Michael. They are so nice!! They welcome us in and give us tips what to do for the day. They ...

BeschreibungTHERE IS confusion here in this mountain place, all because of a girl I lost over twenty years ago. She was buried in memory for so long I thought she would never reappear, but she has, and I must try to put her into focus. Especially now, now that I?m happy and married to the dream I had all my life. The lost girl came back to me in the form of a phone call, then took on further flesh in a letter, and I saw her once, a few months ago, so that she became suddenly real again, suddenly confusing.

Residents of the Gippsland region in Australia were lucky enough to witness a meteorological phenomenon where a hole appears in a cloudy sky. As part of the cloud freezes, these particles fall but do not reach the ground, leaving a hole that is quite different to normal. This is commonly known as a virga.

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, September 14, 2016POSTED: Wednesday, September 14, 2016
Within a month of being released from jail Christopher Morgan Gilcrest is now doing business as a landscaper doing hardscape. He's calling himself Earth Stone & Rock and is living in Lancanster, CA. He has four domains: Palmspringsgoldgravel, Palmsprings-goldgravel, Decomposedgraniteinstallations and Decomposedgranitecost. All dot coms.
He is also back on Youtube, this time as EarthStoneRock and doing his same old scams. He walks around taking video of someone's front yard and bloviates on what they did right or wrong like he's an expert, he stumbles across some workers installing a gravel driveway or landscape and videos them like they work for him and it's his installation, he goes out to the desert and videos and implies that he gets rocks just like them from private property in the Mojave desert.
It's all hot air.
He's got an "air quarry" just like he had an "air nursery".
He's also made a new profile on LinkedIn but you can read both his Growquest one and his Earth Stone & Rock one. He's gone from a PhD from International Horicultural school to Santa Barbara City College.
I question he even graduated from high school.
So he's out of jail, his second or third strike, I'm not sure, and he hasn't learned a damned thing. He's up to his old scams. I'll be following him to see how long it takes for him to get arrested again.

Onondaga County damage control campaign for the Emerald Ash Borer
Mon, 21 May 2012 20:52:42 GMT — 15% of all trees in Onondaga County are ash trees, doomed when the Emerald Ash Borer attacks them, and people who've been watching the insect's invasion say it is only a matter of time before it arrives here. There's an epidemic in Rochester, and this spring the bug has also been discovered to the east of Central New York. The little green bug bores into the trunk of ash trees, leaving the wood riddled and the tree unable to survive. Expect to see the big purple insect traps in trees again this summer. The DEC is putting them up now, to track if the as borers are here. There are efforts to prevent the spread. Onondaga County's Oneida Shores has a ban on bringing in firewood. Onondaga County Parks Commissioner Bill Lansley says firewood is the way the borer seems to be moving around. The ban is on reservation information, and park security is enforcing it. Campers can buy certified clean firewood from the park, if needed. Onondaga County has 3,000 acres of public parks and 800 miles of roadway (double that, to 1600 miles, if you count both sides of the road), and with ash planted en masse to replace Environmental Director, David Coburn, is sthe blighted Dutch Elms, we have thousands of trees on public land. If they fall after being diseased, they could pose a major public hazard, so steps are being taken now. Environmental Director David Coburn is starting a census of all ash trees, with a gps database of all their locations being set up. The census in the parks should be done this year, though roadways will take a bit longer. It's expected that most trees that pose a danger will come down. Parks Commissioner Bill Lansley says a 60 foot tree within 60 feet of a public trail would be removed, for example, though trees in isolated areas, such as the backwoods of Highland Forest. Parks crews are already qualified for tree removal, so it's not expected to be a major added expense. The wood would be sold for firewood, or disposed of--setting up a lumbering operation for what's a valuable hardwood looks to be too costly, at this point. Still to be decided, the process for determining which trees actually come down, and which ones might be saved: there's an innoculation that could save trees, though it is expensive. Rosamond Gifford Zoo Director Ted Fox says at Burnet Park, they've already started replacing some of the ash trees with species that are not vulnerable. The courtyard outside the peacock exhibit, for example, has hybrid elms, which are considered fast-growing. Fox says one ash tree he'd miss, is the one at the pool in the elephant enclosure, which provides shade to spectators and also adds to the esthetic of the display--it may be a candidate for saving. Onondaga County has a two-for-one policy, replacing any tree cut down with two new ones, so Commissioner Lansley hopes the overall impact of the Ash destruction will be 'slight' though it will take time for the new trees to mature. For homeowners, similar decisions on keeping and innoculating, or cutting down ash trees will be coming. Both the DEC and Cornell Cooperative Extension are setting up web and other awareness campaigns. And, if you're not sure if you have ash trees, Fox offers this quick id guide: the bark on trunks of older trees is distinctive, heavily furrowed; leaves come out on multiple stems, with over five leaflets on each little branch.

Newcastle Racecourse is a horse racing course located at Gosforth Park near Newcastle upon Tyne in England. It stages both flat and National Hunt racing, with its biggest meeting being the Northumberland Plate held annually in June.
Horseracing began in the north east over 350 years ago, beginning in Killingworth in the early 17th century. The Town Moor hosted the first recorded Northumberland Plate in 1833 and did so until 1881 when the race transferred to High Gosforth Park. 1882 saw the first running of the Plate at Gosforth Park with a new flat and chase course, new stand and stabling for 100 horses.
In April, 2002 the Scottish businessman David Williamson joined Newcastle Racecourse as managing director and during a six year period he transformed their fortunes and helped boost turnover from £2.5m to £6.5m. The Northumberland Plate weekend now brings in £30m to the regional economy and he also introduced Ladies' Day which now attracts over 15,000 racegoers. In April, 2008 he was headhunted by Newcastle United and appointed Executive Director (Operations).[1] Williamson was replaced by Mark Spincer.
There are currently plans to invest £25-million in new hotel, golfing and caravanning facilities on the site adjacent to the racecourse.
Notable races
Flat races:
- Beeswing Stakes (last run in 1999)

The Polite Revolution: Perfecting the Canadian Dream
€ 15,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Oktober 2006
BeschreibungFrom one of this country's best and most controversial political writers, a searing blueprint for the Next Canada.
Five years into the twenty-first century, Canada is viewed as one of the most desirable nations in the world in which to live. Despite the worries of many Canadians -- our country's regional and linguistic divisions, our frequent identity crises -- Canada, it seems, has a lot of good things going for it.
The federal election of 2004, however, revealed new cracks in an already flawed political system. John Ibbitson argues that we have entered a new political era, that Canada has become a nation of solitudes -- the West, the English Centre, the French Centre, the East -- each of which has its own cultural and economic concerns, none of which are being sufficiently recognized by the major political parties. If we cling stubbornly to old methods of governance, he says, we risk losing all that the Confederation has achieved in its first 138 years.
In this compelling, and ultimately hopeful book, John Ibbitson dismantles the old ways of thinking about Canada's immigration, free trade, social, and defence policies. His ideas for the future of this country are daring -- a devolution of power and dollars from the federal to the provincial level, a revamping of medicare, a refashioning of the electoral system. They amount to no less than a revolutionary plan for the creation and defence of a new national dream. "From the Hardcover edition."

Chen Guangcheng, the blind Chinese activist, has said he wants to leave for the US rather than stay in China, throwing into doubt a deal used to coax him out of the US embassy in Beijing and defuse an impasse that has strained China-US ties.
That stalemate appears all the more troublesome for the US, with Chen saying on Thursday that he feared for his and his family's safety if he stayed in China under an agreement that US officials initially said he was happy with.
Chen, a self-taught legal activist, is under Chinese control in a Beijing hospital, having left the embassy on Wednesday.
He had taken refuge at the mission for six days after escaping house arrest and left under a diplomatic solution in which the US said China promised that Chen could join his family and be allowed to start a new life in a university town, safe from the rural authorities who had abused him in prison and house arrest for nearly seven years.
But Chen told Reuters news agency on Thursday by telephone from hospital, where he was escorted by US officials after leaving the embassy, that he had changed his mind after speaking to his wife who spoke of recent threats made against his family.
"I feel very unsafe. My rights and safety cannot be assured here," he said, adding that his family supported his decision to try to get to the US.
The activist, citing descriptions from his wife, Yuan Weijing, said his family had been surrounded by Chinese officials who menaced them and filled the family home.
Chen, from a village in rural Shandong province, has two children.
"When I was inside the American embassy, I didn't have my family, and so I didn't understand some things. After I was able to meet them, my ideas changed."
Strained relations
Chen's decision puts more strain on US-China relations at a tense time for both countries.
Hillary Clinton, US secretary of state, found herself in the eye of the diplomatic storm on Thursday, turning up for the opening of annual bilateral talks in Beijing which have been overshadowed but not derailed by the Chen case.
She used the occasion to urge China to protect human rights but made no specific mention of Chen, whom she had spoken to on Wednesday after he left the embassy.
"We believe that all governments do have to answer to citizens' aspirations for dignity and the rule of law and that no nation can or should deny those rights," Clinton said as she opened on Thursday the annual strategic and economic Dialogue.
Clinton, however, did not directly mention the name of Chen.
China's President Hu Jintao, in his speech, said China and the US must respect each other even if they disagree.
Hu said that "given our different national conditions it is impossible for both China and the United States to see eye to eye on every issue".
Apology sought
China has demanded that the US apologise for sheltering Cheng in its embassy, the official Xinhua news agency said.
Liu Weimin, foreign ministry spokesman, said: "China is very unhappy over this. The US action is an interference in China's internal affairs and China cannot accept it."
"Chen Guangcheng, a native from Yinan County of eastern China's Shandong province, entered the US embassy in Beijing in late April and left of his own volition after a six-day stay in the embassy," he said.
Chen, who has been blind since childhood, has long been a high-profile figure and international rights groups have frequently expressed alarm at the treatment of him and his family.
Chen exposed how local authorities in Linyi, in Shandong province, forced thousands of women to have abortions or be sterilised as part of China's one-child policy
He was placed under house arrest in 2010 after spending more than four years in jail for disrupting traffic and damaging property.
Chen's colleagues said the escape from house arrest had taken months to plan, and was carried out with the help of a network of friends and activists.
He had jumped over the wall that the authorities had built around his house, he was taken to Beijing, where supporters say he stayed in safe houses before fleeing to the embassy.

Thanksgiving Day this year for many will be Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pumpkin pie and shopping. Yes, this year many retailers are going to be open during the day, others are starting their Black Friday sales as early as 8pm on Thursday evening.
I'm not quite sure if the reason for opening and starting the Black Friday deals is due to the mad rush in years past and injuries that people sustained or greed. Or maybe it's just because this year, because the way the calendar falls consumers are missing out on 6 shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Or even perhaps because the brick and mortar stores are fighting all the online shopping since they know people can sit in the comfort of their home on Thanksgiving Day, or even Black Friday and shop.
Whatever the reason is, I'm finding it a bit upsetting that many people isn't able to spend even one day with their family. I'm wondering how many corporate hot shot moguls will be in their office on Thanksgiving instead of with their families. And the sad part is that many employees will volunteer to work on Thanksgiving to make either time and a half or double time, whichever their employer pays.
Here's a list of stores that will be open either all day or opening early to start their Black Friday sales.
Kmart, Walmart, Old Navy, Dollar General, Family Dollar, CVS, Rite Aid, Whole Foods are open all day on Thanksgiving.
These stores will be starting their Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving evening, some as early as 6 pm – Target, Staples, Macys, Dicks sporting Goods, Kohl's, JC Penney, Michaels, Toys R Us, Best Buy, Sears, Office Depot, Sports Authority.
I'm betting that within the next few years you are going to see more and more stores open on Thanksgiving with early Black Friday sales making way for a traditional Thanksgiving Shopping day.

The touch-based web browser feels like a missed opportunity. It's incredibly basic, but even the basics it doesn't quite get right. You see, TouchSmart PCs support multi-touch just like the iPhone, but it's criminally underused and fails to work in the one area where you really need it to. I'm referring to scrolling web-pages in the aforementioned browser. Using the side bars with a single finger is never a problem, but try to scroll anywhere onscreen using both fingers, and as often as not the browser takes your straight to the bottom of the page and refuses to let you scroll back up.
Meanwhile, the only other area where multi-touch is used is the rather pointless ability to zoom the upper row of tiles slightly on the home screen. The single biggest problem with TouchSmart though is how limited it is, and how quickly you find yourself needing to go back to Windows. Essentially, this is a PC which should be capable of so much, yet TouchSmart doesn't seem to offer much functionality beyond what you'd expect from a half-decent PMP.
Another area where HP really needs to get its act together is in providing a custom onscreen keyboard, rather than the small pathetic Windows default effort. The only saving grace here is that Microsoft's handwriting recognition works almost flawlessly on the IQ810. As a last point, HP sells a wall-mount for the IQ810, which makes the touchscreen nature even more useful.
The IQ810 doesn't stack up too badly as an all-in-one machine. Compared to the fairly similarly-priced Sony VGC-LV1S all-in-one, for example, the Sony might feature an HDMI-input and a faster CPU, but the HP wins out with out with a larger screen and hard drive, far better video card and of course touch functionality all for only £100 extra. Other options are Dell's XPS One and, of course, the Apple's 24in i-Mac. These two machines are a good hardware match in terms of value for money, so it really comes down to whether you want touchy Windows or not. The one thing to keep in mind here is that you might 'soon' be able to upgrade the HP to Microsoft's Windows 7, which is being built with touch interfacing in mind.
HP's TouchSmart IQ810 gives you 25.5in of touch-screen PC goodness. The TouchSmart interface is limited in its usability and still needs work, but then you're not paying that much of a premium for it.
what do they say about too many chefs spoiling the broth?
Hmm, I've never heard of a '3.5mm to composite audio cable', the signal from the analogue audio is not composite video? Are you referring to a RCA jack, i.e. a RCA phonograph connector, aka clinch connector, aka phono connector?
what's missing here: any form of digital or even high-definition video input
well said TR - but i'd also add HD Video output as well as input
its the one thing holding me back buying one - it's especially annoying when you consider the motherboard inside has the connections (output), its just HP choosing not to implement it
I recently bought Sony's RT1SU, with a 25.5" screen. This really made a hit with me having a HDMI In & Out. Connecting the PS3 was a dream. This is where HP have let themselves down. A slot loading drive on the RT1SU would have been nice, but being Blu-Ray made up for it. Although I feel the TouchSmart is a little more attractive, the RT1SU is still the king in All-In-One's in my opinion. TR should get their hands on one asap!
Having said all that though, Sony's build quality is slipping. Had to send back because of a faulty fan of all things!
@ Eggburt1969: Yes, that's correct: phono/cinch. Thanks for pointing that out, sorry for the confusion.
@ HSC: IF I'd consider getting an all-in-one, it would be the main deciding factor for me too. But as Craig Turner mentions, there are some AIOs that do offer both.
@ Craig Turner: We got the RT1SU's lower-end sibling in recently, review coming soon. And yes, any Full HD screen (integrated or not) that doesn't allow you to plug in a PS3/X360 deserves to fry.

Isuzu Philippines Corporation (IPC) has previewed a new variant of the mu-X during the company's off-road test drive at the SM Mall of Asia. The brand also showed the Urban Edition model of the D-MAX and the Crosswind.
For 2016, the mu-X has a new variant – the 2.5L LS-A MT – which is fitted with a chrome radiator grille and 17-inch alloy wheels. It also features a push start button, electroluminescent instrument meters, a multi-information display, and a 7-inch touchscreen head unit. Of note, this variant comes with a cruise control function.
The mu-X 3.0L LS-A AT 4x2 was also on display at IPC's off-road test drive event. According to the automaker, this variant comes with a rear spoiler, interior chrome garnishes, multi-information display and electroluminescent instrument meters. The vehicle also comes with a cruise control.
In terms of safety, the 3.0L LS-AT variant now features a hill start assist system. Under the hood, the mu-X is still powered either by a 2.5-liter or a 3.0-liter engine. The former delivers 134 hp and 320 Nm of torque while the latter produces 163 hp and 380 Nm.
For 2016, a new color option for the mu-X is now available – the Obsidian Grey.
On the other hand, the D-MAX Urban Edition is fitted with a restyled exterior as seen on its new grille design with matte black finish. It also gets a bumper garnish and dark alloy wheels. As of this writing, its official price has yet to be released but, IPC told AutoDeal.com.ph that it will be around P100,000 more as compared to the standard variant.
Lastly, the Crosswind Urban Edition looks mean through its black grille, roof rails and Gun Metal rims. Adding to its overall look is a roof spoiler finished in black. IPC has yet to release its official price.

Beautiful hotel, with a fantastic view of the town. Located on the top of a hill, but still simpel to walk to and from the city center.
Really Amazing! Charming hotel with fabulous views. Our room was comfortable and clean with a view of the city and a small balcony. Staff was friendly and someone is onsite 24/7. I recommend playing "make that cocktail" with the bartender in the lounge. Will definitely be back.
We will recommend this hotel to everyone and if we come back to Lisbon, we will chose this hotel again!
Perfect hotel
Great little boutique hotel. Great view of Lisbon.

China's Huawei Gives it Up for Vodafone
London cellular giant Vodafone (VOD) has unveiled its latest phones, and they're made in China. On one level, that's not a huge surprise. After all, Chinese factories now manufacture tens of millions of cell phones.
What's noteworthy is that the Vodafone 701 models that will be available in European markets in early October are not low-end commodity phones but whiz-bang, feature-laden 3G handsets, the sort of more sophisticated gadgetry that Chinese manufacturers haven't produced in the past.
Vodafone's Chinese partner is telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies. The two companies announced plans to team up early this year, with Huawei producing the handsets on an outsourcing basis for Vodafone—that is, without the Huawei name. This is no ordinary launch for Vodafone, but actually the company's first own-branded 3G consumer handsets. The phone features an MP3 player and 1.3-megapixel camera, and can handle video telephony.
Few European consumers are likely to notice or care that their high-end handset was made by a Chinese outfit. In the recent product launch press materials, Vodafone's global director of terminals, Jens Schulte-Bockum, stressed that this is the company's first self-branded 3G handset and bypassed Huawei's key role. "We're proud that this phone carries only the Vodafone name," Schulte-Bockum said in a canned statement distributed to the media.
Even so, this is a hugely important step for Huawei. It's proof that the company is making progress in its drive to diversify away from its traditional business of routers and other types of infrastructure. Ping Guo, senior vice-president of Huawei Technologies, said in a statement when the two companies first announced their partnership that the deal would help propel the Shenzhen company into the top ranks of handset makers globally.
"This agreement will enable Huawei to become one of the world's leading players in handset development and production," he said. "We already have a strong presence in the global market, and this agreement offers us a great opportunity to expand into new regions alongside the world's leading mobile community."
The Vodafone handsets also show that Huawei is willing to be flexible as it expands globally, since the Chinese company is willing to give up all branding rights. Huawei's crosstown rival, ZTE, is making similar moves. It announced on Sept. 14 in Beijing that it had reached an agreement with BT Group (BT) to provide the British operator with 3G handsets.
Other companies from China such as PC maker Lenovo and white goods producer Haier are focusing on building up their own brand names globally. They haven't had an easy time of it.
Also struggling is Taiwan's BenQ (BNQCY). For years, it was successful as an outsourcing manufacturer for companies such as Motorola (MOT).
But in an attempt to build up its own-brand business, BenQ last year took over the money-losing handset operations of German conglomerate Siemens (SI). BenQ hasn't been able to turn the cellular business around and on Sept. 29 announced that its German subsidiary was declaring bankruptcy.
But Huawei executives are betting that their willingness to let Vodafone have the branding rights will help the Chinese company avoid a similar fate. With this strategy, Huawei is taking a page from the playbook of successful Taiwanese contract manufacturers such as High Tech Computer (HTC) that are willing to stay in the background.
HTC is the world's biggest producer of Windows-enabled smart phones, but most of the handsets it sells in the U.S. and Europe only carry the brand of its customers, operators such as Verizon (VZ) and Sprint Nextel (S).
Just as important for Huawei is the symbolism of the Vodafone deal. Huawei may be China's top information technology company, but it also was the defendant in a high-profile lawsuit brought by Cisco (CSCO) in 2002, with the U.S. company alleging that Huawei improperly lifted Cisco intellectual property. The companies eventually settled before the case came to trial, and ever since then, Huawei executives have emphasized the company's commitment to patents, copyrights, and intellectual property rights protection.
The Vodafone alliance, according to Guo, is a vote of confidence in Huawei as a company that doesn't cut corners. "We consider the partnership with Vodafone as a sign of the trust they have in the quality of our research and production," said Guo in his press statement.
Huawei isn't the only Chinese company that has been successfully diversifying into cellular handsets. Lenovo, the leading personal computer brand in China and the world's No. 3 PC player thanks to its acquisition last year of the IBM PC division, has also been making a push into mobile phones.
Unlike Huawei, Lenovo is focusing on building up its own brand. It's hard to pass through the streets or subways of Beijing without coming across slick-looking Lenovo ads hawking the company's products.
Only a few years ago, Lenovo was an also-ran in the Chinese cell phone market, but in the past two years the company has focused on building up the business and is now the leading Chinese brand, ahead of traditional leaders TCL and Bird. (Foreign brands such as Nokia (NOK), Motorola, and Samsung (SSNGY) are the only ones now ahead of Lenovo.)
With Lenovo's rapid progress in the cell phone business and Huawei's moves into 3G, some people see the beginnings of a trend, with Chinese companies becoming more influential outside of China. Ya-Qin Zhang, corporate vice-president at Microsoft (MSFT), is president of the company's China R&D group. He's impressed with the way Lenovo has been able to come out of nowhere in mobile phones to become the leading Chinese brand in just two years.
Zhang credits Lenovo's experience making PC hardware and software, which he believes helped the company roll out hardware and software for cell phones. Zhang sees more Chinese companies making their presence felt on the global stage. "A lot of companies are getting to be world-class," he says.

Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper in Grey - Review, SwatchesSeptember 19, 2015
Hello moonshines! I'm back with another Maybelline review. It's Fashion Brow Duo Shaper in Grey shade! It's basically an eyebrow pencil with brow powder. Maybelline has recently launched them with two shades, Brown and Grey and it's a big hit. I've got the grey one which suits my eyebrows.
Price: Rs. 245/-
Net quantity: 0.61 g
Shelf Life: 36 months
Maybelline Fashion Duo Shaper comes in a black retractable pencil with eyebrow pencil at one end and smudger with eyebrow powder at the other. I love how convenient they've made this whole eyebrow shaping process.
My Experience: To begin with I have sparse brows. I wasn't a fan of eyebrow powder and pencil until I got this! From past few months I was thinking to purchase an eyebrow kit but there wasn't any brand offering it in affordable prices. When I saw it online I got amazed and ordered it.
Pencil: It's the first step for a beautifully groomed brows. It is pure grey colored and it's slightly pigmented and not dark like colossal kajal ones. After all they're for eyebrows and they are bound to give natural look. I fill up the gaps in eyebrows with this. One swipe is enough but I swipe 3 times to get a decent pigmentation. Pencil is creamy and glides without tugging however it may break if too much pressure is applied so do it with light hand. It stays around 6-7 hours without any smudging. Once I didn't take it off and it stayed until I removed it.
Powder: This is my favorite step! After applying pencil, I tap on powder on my brows to give a long lasting natural finish. It's dark brown in color and sometimes I use it alone to fill in brows and it does its work perfectly. Smudger has a grey screw cap and automatically dispenses powder through it which makes an easy application. It stays on for 5-6 hours.
|Under natural light
● Super Affordable!
● Creamy formula that ensures no tugging during application.
● It gives all natural look to eyebrows and doesn't make them look unnatural and dark.
● Will suit everyone except the ones with light colored hair or eyebrows.
● Decent pigmentation
● Long staying power
● Due to its creamy texture, it needs to be handled carefully while applying with light pressure or else it can break easily.
● It's out of stock in many online websites.
Final Words: You've read the review, you've seen the swatches. What do you expect? Go get it ASAP because it gets out of stock everytime it's restocked. It's the best eyebrow shaper you'll get at this price.

Where I stayed
Karawanserey Hotel
Ani is about 50km outside Kars and the temperatures are barely above zero. It is very cold and after this distance (we passed mountains with fresh snow as well on the road) we were happy that we took this decision.
Ani was a good decision, it offeres a big field of ruines and some are restaurated some others are not. The city was becoming very big 1000 years ago and was destroyed in the second half of the 16th century. It has a strategic important location where all the traffic from the silk road was passing through here and there was a bridge over the river that separates today Turkey from Armenia.
There are mosques, churches, houses, a city wall with doors and lots of stones that have ornaments and are cut.
We spend 2 hours there and go back to our warm hotel with good impressions and the feeling of a day well spent.

Market Day
It is a mix and jumble of everything on market day. I technically don't have to go, but I can't help it. It is the only time I can be around people that don't think I ruined their life.
Today we need basic groceries and various trimmings. I have some money on my scanner, so I take off for the stop. I guess it used to be a bus stop, but when they slowly died, due to the pollution, they were replaced with Arrohs. Depending on what day it is, they have them come by every now and then. On the week days, they come every hour. Since today is Saturday, they come every fifteen minutes. I only have to wait for about three minutes, and then I am climbing the retractable steps.
I go to wards the back. I duck down so no one can see me. Not that I am paranoid, but I was raised always looking over my shoulder. And, seeing what will happen soon, it might be good for me to refresh my evasive skills.
As soon as the last person sits down, the scanner makes sure no one is in the aisle, and then we shoot off. Apparently, there used to be people driving buses and cars and such. That would be why there were so many deaths from car accidents. Now, the Arroh drives itself. It can sense if something is in the way of its path and it will jump into the air until the ground is clear again.
When it is my stop, I jump out and head for the building. It is actually five buildings, connected to each other by walking tubes. They surround a park area where many teens are relaxing in the pond and talking at the picnic benches. I can't believe people actually used to think it was fun to get malaria while you eat. I enter the building with the sign announcing "edible".

Your Ford dealership isn't the only place to buy the best repair parts to fix your Torino. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs in today's marketplace. It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Disc Brake Pads to repair your vehicle. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the good looks built into each Ford, and understand that only the best replacement Torino parts will suffice when repairs are needed.
Your Ford Torino disc brake pads evolved from an experimental method of braking pioneered by the racing teams of Europe in the early 20th century. They provide a more effective style of braking through the application of friction than the brake shoes from decades before. You will find your vehicle's brake pads in the caliper situated around a portion of your brake rotor. When you depress your brake pedal hydraulic pressure is sent to the caliper, and it pinches the disc brake pads onto the surface of the brake disc absorbing its energy. This transfer of energy slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Buying new Ford parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement Torino parts on the internet. Don't let a Disc Brake Pads repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Ford Torino part for your project or repair. Ford Torino Disc Brake Pads parts for 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968 vehicles are available here... just click your year to find them.

Our base mold 583 will produce a slanted front, which is perfect for displaying plaques. Use it for trophy or doll stand bases. The mold measures 4 inches wide by 3 inches long and 3/4 inches deep. The slant involves the first inch of the mold.
How to Use Resin Molds: Remove any dust and particles from your reusable mold. Molds do not require mold release when casting with resin, however, it is strongly suggested. We recommend the use of Castin' Craft Mold Release and Conditioner. Protect your work area with freezer or wax paper. Treat mold with mold release and allow to dry. Place mold on a level surface and fill the cavities to just below the top. Once the pieces are cured, turn the tray over and press the center area of each piece while flexing to release the casting. Do not use sharp objects to demold your resin as you will scratch your mold. Be sure to also read our plastic resin mold care tips to ensure a long life for your molds.

MY only bet on Thursday was a bit of a long shot and in the end was well out.
I was spot on with Espanyol but Alaves conceded a late winner at Valencia and Aberdeen v St Johnstone looked more like a 0-0 than a both to score affair until the Dons won it in injury time.
Minutes after scoring they were paired with Morton in the semi-finals which means they have a great chance of making it to the Final. The second semi is of course Rangers v Celtic so another great game to look forward to after the action-packed Premiership clash.
Jordan was star of the show on Thursday with his Swiss tips coming up but Greg's Danish game lacked goals. My Bet of the Day for members only did win though with Espanyol and Alaves scoring.
As is always the case I'm concentrating on my Saturday Daily Record columns at this time of the week. I don't have much time to research Friday games but there are four big favourites in the major leagues who should win.
Hopefully I don't see any team news in the morning that puts me off but I'm putting up two lines – one as the Super Single and a handicap one as well.
I'm taking a chance on a 5.5pts Super Single that would wipe out the losses. In the back of my mind I fear one side might let me down but I'm willing to take a chance – if you don't like it leave it out.
First up it's Dortmund at home to Freiburg and the home side have won this five in a row scoring 20 goals. They've just recorded back-to-back 6-0 successes and a 5-1 midweek win at Wolfsburg and face a side that's conceded six in three.
PSG, with Edinson Cavani in brilliant form, have won on five of their last six visits to Toulouse scoring 14 times. They've won their last two 6-0 and 3-0.
In Portugal leaders Sporting, with a 100 per cent home record, should beat Estoril and Porto, who have won their two home outings, are also short against Boavista.
I'be not had time to look out a goals but Greg has posted one and others have put up tips.

Hashi Mohamed, a barrister at No5 Chambers, has successfully defended a council's enforcement notice and planning decision — with partial costs awarded.
At an inquiry held on 20 August 2013, inspector S Hand MA, on behalf of the secretary of state for communities and local government, heard a joint planning and enforcement appeal against South Kesteven District Council.
The appeal concerned a dwelling house that was granted planning permission in 2002 but that was subsequently constructed in contravention to the granted permission.
At the one-day inquiry, the inspector heard extensive evidence and rejected the arguments by the appellant that the building was 'substantially complete' for the purposes of Ground (d). He noted and applied in his decision the important cases of Gravesham and the leading House of Lords authority of Sage. On Ground (f), he rejected the notion of a 'fallback position' — and that further the only remedy would be the removal of the building.
On the enforcement matter, the council pursued partial costs against the appellant, on the basis that his pursuit of an appeal against the notice was unreasonable. The inspector agreed.

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't strange waking up in New York. As I was drifting into consciousness, I completely forgot where I was and for a second or two I thought I was still in England. That familiar glum feeling settled over me until I realised where I really was and it was replaced with a happiness so intense I was astounded by it.
The sun was shining through the windows onto the bed, warm and enriching. I cast a glance around the apartment and couldn't help the smile spread across my face. It was a very modern apartment, all wooden floorboards and shiny, marble countertops. A fluffy white rug took up most of the space in the main room and elaborate, complicated paintings were hung up on the walls giving the apartment a certain charm. My favourite guitar was propped up against the wall in the far corner.
Deciding it was about time I got dressed, I dragged myself out of bed, showered and chose a simple black t shirt and a denim skirt. Just as I'd finished applying makeup, there was a knock at the door. Confused, I crossed the room and pulled it open. Elijah was stood there with two polystyrene cups of coffee and a brown paper bag.
'Oh, hello!' my voice was a little too eager.
'Hey! I brought coffee and doughnuts. I have a lot of free time so I was wondering if you wanted a tour round New York?'
He didn't have to ask twice.
* * *
We were sat on a bench by the river in Central Park, sipping coffees and eating doughnuts. It was something so simple and yet so strange to me. I'd never done anything like this before.
'Nice doughnuts,' I noted. It was getting a little awkward and I felt I should say something but as soon as I said it, I mentally scolded myself. I sounded like a right idiot.
He laughed.
'They are. How are you finding the apartment?'
'Really nice actually,' I replied, glad we now had something to talk about. 'I still need to unpack, but yeah. It's a lot nicer than my house back home.' Saying the word home out loud made me realise just how much had changed in such a short space of time. I would have to accept that home wasn't back in England anymore, it was here.
'Good! I'm glad. Sorry about the confusion when I first saw you, I honestly thought you were trying to break in or something.'
'I didn't know I looked the type that would be suspected of burglary.'
'Well, it was late at night and I was tired. I was practicing with the band most of the day.'
'Oh? You're in a band?' That sparked my interest.
'Yeah, we're called the Stabbing Angels. You should come along to one of our rehearsals some time!' Wow, the Stabbing Angels. It was pretty dark. I tried not to judge but I didn't think I'd like the sort of music they'd play. They seemed a bit too…heavy for my taste. I preferred the softer stuff.
Nevertheless I told him I'd go along. After all, he had made me feel very welcome.
'If you need anything else, you can always call me.' Elijah offered.
'I don't have your number,' I blinked stupidly.
He laughed again. 'Yeah I know, I'm just about to give it to you. Patience.' My cheeks flamed red at my idiocy as Elijah scrawled some numbers down on a slip of paper and handed them to me. There were so many things I wanted to say to him. I wanted to tell him you make this day, because he had. I wanted to thank him so much for being so nice and understanding and I wanted to thank him for making me feel so welcome. In the end I settled on a simple 'Okay, thank you.'
I could honestly say I had found a friend in Elijah.

This is a great base layer with nice features. I was happy that Academy carried it in my size
I purchased this about a month ago to wear while walking my dog. Was so pleased that I immediately ordered another, along with the bottoms. I absolutely cannot believe how warm they are with absolutely no bulk. Highly recommend! Very snug fit - so buy a size up.
I liked that I could walk up to any piece of clothing and pay and order it without going on line or to the cash register and it arrived in the mail 2 days latter plus the shirt was great
I bought these shirts for my son for back to school. I must say they are awesome & he loved them! material is thick enough that they don't feel or seem too flimsy. I would definitely buy again!
Got this for my daughter who is 10 who plays turny ball. 24 games in 3 weekends she loves it. Rip it has a great product, the bars are not in your line of view for field play like the other fielders mask we have.
Best mask out there, my daughter had tried the worth face first plastic mask and the Skilz but the visibility is very poor with these two masks. RIP-IT has great visibility and it is very light.
I have to give kudos to the manager of the Joplin, MO store, as he gave me FINE customer service on a busy day when he didn't stand to make a profit for his store. Because of his helpful spirit, I will shop again at this store. I had bought $300 of merchandise for our public school summer school program and one of these balls had a broken bladder from day 1. When I found time to return to the store, my principal had thrown the receipt away so I was appealing to the manager's good graces. Lucky ... for me, that even though there were no balls like this one to do an exchange, he loaded a gift card with my return $ and then helped me order one online. What a champ! My kids will get many hours of enjoyment from this replacement ball!
Perfect size for our 4 year old to play wee basketball. It was great to have a ball the same size they use for the games. Love the colors.
I got this among other items for my grandson's 13th birthday. He loves it! It seems to be of very strong material, not flimsy.
Im so happy with my purchased. I love this bag. I use this bag almost everyday. Definitely will recommend it to my friends. Customer satisfied here. ;)
Today I received this bag from Academy to replace an older HEAD racquetball bag that just did not have enough room for all my stuff. I normally carry 2 racquets, two cans of balls, 4-5 headbands, 2 gloves, tennis elbow strap, goggles, 1 dri-fit t-shirt, water bottle and a small towel. I wanted a bag that can not only accommodate everything I take, but also be able to put them in different compartments. This bag fits my needs perfectly with room to spare for shoes, socks and sweaty items.
I just bought this bag. It's pretty awesome extremely roomy. I got 3 rackets in their. Some shoes and everything else you might need.
I love this bat it has a lot of pop. Awesome for what I needed.
We bought 4 of these...one for us and 3 for grandkids...we bought them for the camo color which was a big hit with the kids, ages 10-63....they also work just fine for their intended purpose...seems to be very quality balls....
Glad I bought it looks great and bounces the best the best basketball i have bought
Perfect size for my 6yr old. Should last until she's ready for a bigger one (I'm guessing we will get 3 seasons out of this one). The leather is soft/flexible enough to use right out of the box. Will be even better once broken in well.
Got my.product next day after ordering . Free ship too
Very well made product will buy a few more in the future....
I bought these weeks ago and cannot tear them up! Great for self control, just knock the devil out of um! Made of indestructible hard rubber!
So good bought them for when i play on the turf and they work excellent perfect fit, even for a small guy!
This has been the best glove for my son so far . Lightweight and soft . I would recommend for any young baseball player
Wilson gloves are high quality and this A500 GameSoft is excellent. It comes already broken in and "Game Ready".
Exactly as pictured. Pleased with purchase. **Disclaimer. This was purchased not for lacrosse, but for muscle tension therapy. They have worked very well.
Bought it one week before braces and works fine without braces and with braces.
purchased as a Christmas gift for my kids. it's great.
This is a great youth sized ball that has a smoother texture than most
I just got mine today and I love it. I think it's better than the Wilson for just 1/2" shorter and lighter. A great buy for the money.
I bought this 2 weeks ago and I have had a great time with it, for me the weight is ideal for me and it is very comfortable.
I bought this for a halloween costume... It worked out well. I also wear it as my jersey to game day parties, because the ref's always win!
It received it on a timely matter and packaged very well.
I bought this mouth guard I thought it would not have worked but I was wrong this mouth guard is the best on the maket
There's an athlete in all of us. The trick is finding which sport best suits your physical attributes and skills. If you're tall, try basketball; if you're strong, football may be a good fit; if you're fast and nimble, give soccer a chance. You never know what will stick until you try it, so be sure to give each sport a chance.
If you participate in one of America' favorite team sports, make sure you're equipped with the appropriate sports gear from our online sports equipment stores. Outfit you and your fellow football players in padded team gear, which helps defend against aggressive tackles and other abrasive blows. Basketball shoes help you achieve great heights, so you can go for that slam dunk, while soccer shin guards protect against accidental cleat kicks. Practice your swings in baseball with a pitching machine, so you can hit a homer the next time you're up to bat.
Show your pride while cheering on your school's team with team apparel that reflects your school's colors and keeps you comfortable while flying and tumbling through the air. Kneepads are a must in volleyball, keeping your knees safe when you sprawl across the court to dig up a hit. Choose from a wide selection of racquets from our sports store, which help you develop a serious tennis serve, and burst toward the finish line while running sprints in track and field with the right pair of shoes.
Move fluidly across the ice when you're wearing the right pair of hockey skates, and go the distance and score a goal with lacrosse sticks that allow great ball control. Instead of spending time driving between different sporting stores, browse an entire assortment of diverse sporting goods for many different types of team sports from right behind your computer screen.

How Does Morris Talansky Do Business?
Does the Long Island rabbi at the center of Israel's investigation of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert have some serious skeletons in his closet? New York Magazine has obtained "a transcript of secret tapes" that, it reports, suggests that Rabbi Morris Talansky has threatened business associates in the past.

360 degree fluid zone for a 4 blade propeller
Hi to all here! This is my first post in this forum :)
Now regarding the question:
I created a propeller geometry using the BladeModeler component system and consequently meshed it using turbogrid by using the provided tutorials as reference. No problem there.
So having prepared and produced the mesh in turbogrid, I now start the CFX analysis (Setup/Solution/Results) component on the Ansys 12 Project Management Desktop and retrieve the mesh I created.
Now, the problem begins here:
I have generally noticed that when I import the mesh of the propeller from turbogrid, it always provides me with a fluid zone for only 1 out of the 4 blades. For example one can look at file CFX2.png, where I have set all the appropriate BCs before starting the solution run.
Is it not possible to create a fluid zone that is 360 degrees, incorporates all 4 blades between the inlet and outlet ? :confused:
Having solved the problem as steady-state, and arrived to the CFD-Post part, I found that the only way to produce all 4 blades was from changing the number of domain copies to '4' somewhere in the basic setting tab, which is obviously not correct. For example, see CFX5a.png, the velocity streamlines cant be indentical from each blade (I used 'vertex' graphics option for distribution of streamlines with variable being velocity)
The main reason behind all this, is because im trying to produce a working 360 degree fluid zone for the propeller model which will be inserted into a model of a unique channel wing I created in DesignModeler.Then Im hoping that I can introduce working BCs and Interfaces on both of these channel wing & propeller domains in order to finally calculate the lift produced over the whole channel wing !!
Sorry for this huge post, just wanted to be as detailed as I can in order to get the help I definately need. :D
I am not familiar with BladeModeller so cannot help you there. But it looks like the simulation you performed was just on a 90° segment. The 360° display you got in your second image is just a post-processing thing. It just repeats the segment around 4 times to get the full geometry.
Somehow you will need to get BladeModeller to give you a full geometry. Alternately you can take the 90° wedge and duplicate it around in CFX-Pre to create the full geometry.
And that is exactly my problem! I dont want to simulate just the 90 degree segment, but the whole 360 degree region together!
I mean, to be realistic, not all locations downstream of each blade must have identical streamlines.
So there surely must be a way of having a propeller inside a cylindrical domain that encompases it and can be made to interact with a larger domain outside of it?
Or am I making a huge mistake somewhere:confused:
Is there perhaps someone who knows the settings in BladeModeler/DesignModeler/Turbogrid where this 360 deg fluid zone can be specified before inputting it into CFX-Pre??
Here is also my project schematic, just to confirm that my layout for each step towards the problem setup is correct
The the CFX tutorial flow in a axial rotor/stator and you will see how to combine rotating and stationary domains.
You missed in my previous post that you can also duplicate mesh regions in CFX-Pre, so you can take your 90° segment and copy it around and do the simulation on the full 360°.
No. If it is CFX-Pre you are setting up the mesh for the simulation. If it is CFD-Post it is just a post-processing thing. Just try it and find out for yourself - that is the best way.

Certificates have been presented to two members of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps after they were the first in the corps to achieve the RCVS certificate in advanced veterinary practice (CertAVP).
Certificates have been presented to two members of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps (RAVC) after they were the first in the corps to achieve the RCVS certificate in advanced veterinary practice (CertAVP).
The two captains – Nicola Housby-Skeggs and Claire Budge – were presented with their certificates at Belgravia House last week (June 15, 2012) during a special 'meet the RCVS' day.
The day gave a group of RAVC officers the opportunity to find out more about the role and function of the college as well as to meet members of the officer and management teams.
Capt Housby-Skeggs – who has completed a mixture of small animal and equine modules in order to achieve her certificate – was pleased with her award, and even more so about the certificate's modular approach: "It's reassuring to know you can have a break if you need to," she said.
"The compulsory module on professional key skills was also more useful than I had anticipated, as it focused on aspects that you don't really have time for at vet school, such as management, and health and safety."
Meanwhile, captain Budge appreciated the fact that many of her modules could be completed via distance learning. "It was great that I could continue with my studies even when serving in Afghanistan," she said.
"My only regret is that when I started the certificate back in 2008, there wasn't the range of modules available that there is now. For example, I would like to have done one of the new animal welfare, ethics and law modules. However, there is no reason why I can't just take this as continuing professional development – that's the benefit of the modular approach."
For more information on the CertAVP, visit the RCVS website.
'Meet the RCVS Days' give members of the veterinary team the opportunity to visit the college and find out what goes on behind the scenes. Email Fiona Harcourt at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to join a future event.

Hopscotch: The Poetry of AK Ramanujan
In this feature we hear a selection of poems by one of India's leading 20th century poets and translators, AK Ramanujan, as well as commentary recorded in India by those who knew Ramanujan well: Prathibha Nandakumar, Ashokamitran, and the painter SG Vasudev.
Because of his cross-cultural ties (Ramanujan taught English literature in India and Indian literature in America) he liked to say he was 'the hyphen in the Indo-American'. As well as a being a transnational poet he worked as a linguist, philologist and folklorist. He is best known as a translator of classical Tamil and medieval Kannada poetry.
He tried to express the richness of South Indian culture and literary traditions in English verse, combining several imaginations within a single sensibility. He wrote poetry in both Kannada and English. His Collected Poems is published by Oxford University Press.

Like to keep a container handy in all my vehicles. Stay in the cars 24-7. Will cold and sub-freezing temps pemanently damage them or their efectiveness?
I'd suggest asking the vendor/manufacturer is the best course.
The type we are issued has an anti freeze and is a water solution. An oil base OC clogs easier. So your best bet is a water based with anti freeze solution.
Honestly, I wouldn't believe anything a vendor or mfg told me because of the CYA factor. I was hoping someone had first hand knowledge. I wouldn't expect it to work when frozen, but how 'bout when it warms up? Carry cans of WD40 around in my truck all the time and they seem to work fine hot or cold.
Monsters are real and so are ghosts. They live inside of us, and sometimes they win.
~ Stephen King
I'm trying to give you first hand knowledge. What we are issued has an anti freeze in it. It's made bt defense technolgies and I have carried it for years, and am trained and qualified in it's use.
Here's what I got back from Fox Labs. I'm now a loyal customer:
"Thank you for taking the time to make your inquiry. Nothing major should happen, perhaps losing a foot or two in the distance it sprays in extreme cases (the Austrian Army did testing and put the units in a freezer for three days before testing and that was all that was different). Potency and everything else will remain the same. Just make sure it isnt in direct sunlight, because it is possible, even in winter, that the unit might get hot and pop the topa most unpleasant experience."
Incidentally, that was the company Pres that got back to me.
The only thing the cold could do is exactly what they described. The reason it doesn't shoot as far is because at colder temperatures, the gas used as a propellant is under lower pressure. If there is any water in the spray that could freeze, the lower pressure of the propellant would more than account for that and there would be no risk of it exploding.
I have to say though, this one goes down as the quote of the week in my book:Just make sure it isn't in direct sunlight, because it is possible, even in winter, that the unit might get hot and pop the top—a most unpleasant experience.

We shot this look actually on our second fashion week day. As you know there was a huge storm in New York and it was completely impossible to shoot outside unfortunately ( Yep, Nemo stroke. What an idea to call the blizzard a name of a mythic clown fish... I would have called it Hulk instead). Luckily, the second day, the sun was brighter than ever so I have chosen a really chic yet special look, with my favourites Kat Maconie shoes and new Zara coat. Also decided to wear my new red coloured lip stick from Lancôme's ''Rouge in Love'' line. I am so glad to have partnered with them for this fashion week folks!

New Delhi, Sept 19: Days after Modi Government discontinued stamp on the name of former Prime Ministers, the Centre is now mulling to change the name of the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) in New Delhi.
According to a report in The Telegraph India, IGI will be renamed as Mahatma Gandhi International Airport.
The Union civil aviation ministry is examining proposals over the same, though no official announcement has been made.
It is being said that Government is contemplating to change names of various other airports the across country along with IGI which is one of the busiest airport in the country. Recently, the BJP general secretary, Anil Jain, has moved a recommendation over the same.
Report says that various suggestions have been received from State Government and RSS leaders to change the name of various airports. The name of the airports in Chandigarh, Kochi, Dehradun and Udaipur are to be changed.
"I have requested this as I feel Mahatma Gandhi is the biggest icon of the country and, therefore, the capital's airport should be named after him", Jain was quoted by the Telegraph.
The name of the Delhi's airport was changed in 1986 as IGI after Indira Gandhi's assassination. Earlier it used to be called as 'Palam airport'.

It had the 64 bit version which I needed for my laptop and the 32bit version for my desktop. The laptop was running Vista and the desktop XP . I upgraded both machines and all was well until yesterday. Now after an update, my desktop says the windows version is not genuine. I retyped the verification code, but it will not take it. I'm assuming this is because I used it on 2 computers? Do I have to pay for another?
