In spite of the difficulty of crossing the steep coastal mountains, Trapezus
somehow managed to become an important cntrepot for trade to the east. During
the Byzantine period all the caravans from Persia and beyond with goods to sell
to Europe found their way here.
The city reached the peak of its glory in 1294 when the Crusaders sacked
Constantinople. Alexis Comnenus, a member of the former dynastic family whose
intrigues contributed much to the Byzantine decline, escaped from the fallen
city; in his flight he raised an army of mercenaries in Asia, occupied Trebizond
and proclaimed it capital of a new empire, headed by himself under the title of
Grand Comnenus.
Alexis had chosen well; his new city was impregnable and brought him a good
income. He and his successors brought all the oriental luxury and ceremony of
Constantinople with them. They spread Trebizond's fame throughout the world. Its
military fortunes rose and fell; at its greatest extent it occupied all the
Black Sea coast, but near its end, only the city itself.
The Comnenes, like all great, dynasties, were always careful to marry well.
Contemporary accounts suggest, that the dynasty's greatest, resource was preLLY
princesses, much desired by the neighbouring monarchs and rulers. 'this allowed
the Grand Comneni to keep their web of alliance intact at all times.
By the middle of the 15th century, unfortunately, the only neighbour Trebizond
had left was the voracious Ottoman
sultan, who already had enough wives and was
not tempted by the young princesses. After Melunet the Conqueror captured
Constantinople, Trebizond, the last free Greek stale, was obviously the next on
his list. He duly appeared in 1461, with the greatest army and fleet ever seen
in the Black Sea, before or since. In made the desired impression on David
Comnenus, The last emperor, who surrendered the city without, a shot. One of his
daughters was then married to Mehmet the Conqueror's son Beyazıt. The Turks
renamed the city Trabzon. As Genoa, and later Venice, drew off all the Eastern
trade for themselves, the world importance of the city gradually declined. The
Russians captured the city in 1916, during World War 1, and did considerable
damage. Luckily many of the important ruins survived.
Trabzon today is an exciting and thriving city. It is a centre of international
tourism and business, and, due to its location, thrives from trade with the CIS.
Its port is busy, its suburbs expanding, and its football team is consistently
one of the most successful in Turkey.
Citizens of Trabzon earn their living mostly from the land and the sea, fishing
for the delicious hamsi, or anchovy, that is the culinary speciality of the
region. Fast of Trabzon is prime leapicking terrain, providing the Turkish
public with those: vital leaves. And then, after work, people flock to the
city's many lively bars, restaurants and clubs to spend time with their friends
and family.
Modern Trabzon retains much of its genteel charm, and many traces of a fabulous
past. The oldest living monument is the Meydan, the city square. This is the
site of the ancient agora and later the assembly point for caravans to other
parts of Asia. Off the Meydan to the northeast is the fortified Genoese quarter
of Leontokastron, now a military club under which the road tunnels. Between the
Meydan and the sea lies the church of Santa Maria, which was consecrated as a
Capuchin sanctuary in 1874 and is now looked after by nuns. To the northwest
huddles the cacophonous bazaar, selling copper, silver, hardwood and cloth, the
16th century Bedesten, and the Site of the Venetians' castle. Close by is the
shell of Trabzon's oldest church, St. Anne, built in [tie 7th century and
rebuilt in 884.
The classic 13th century St. Sophia is one of the most significant cultural
sights in Trabzon, housing some of the finest examples of Byzantine painting to
be found in the world. 'this church was founded by Manuel I (1238-1263), and
stands on a platform of vaulted tombs. Manuel commissioned everything 13th
century money could buy, having made tits fortune in silver mines to the south:
an Armenian-style creation relief on the south porch; Seljuk-style stalactite
niches; a 6th century eagle capital from Constantinople in the west porch (its
brother is in the porch of San Mark in Venice); and inside, reused columns and
grape capitals supporting a great host of painted angels flapping in the dome.
The result is glorious.
Climb up the hill to the walled city, past the tomb of Gülbahar, Pontic mother
of Selim, who was Ottoman governor of Trabzon from 1489 to 1512, and sultan from
1512 to 1520. Selim's son, the magnificent Süleyman, was born here.
Rebuilt many times, the city walls rise from a classical harbour, through a
lower city (1324), an attenuated middle city, up to the ancient acropolis and
medieval palace complex that rises dramatically above the meeting of two ravines
at the southern tip. The towers of Trebizond, immortalised by Rose Macaulay
"shimmering on a far horizon in luminous enchantment", still stand.
Straddling the middle city is the cathedral of the Chrysokephalos (Golden-headed
Virgin), which after 1461 became the Fatih Mosque, the city's chief mosque. This
was rebuilt by the Grand Comneni after 1222 to house their own coronation. The
wealth of the empire extended to gold¬plating the domes of this imperial
From here you can cross the bridge over the western ravine back to the Meydan,
past the abandoned nunnery of the Theoskepastos (God protected Virgin). Inside
the cave-church are a number of Medieval paintings and the tomb of Metropolitan
Konstantios. During his formidable reign (1830 to 1879) this bishop was
responsible for rebuilding, and therefore destroying, almost every Byzantine
church still in Christian hands. The monastery church of St. Eugenios, patron
of' Trebizond, overlooks the walled city. It was rebuilt, in the 11th century,
and decorated under Alexium 111, who was crowned here on January 21, 1350. By
1523 the parish had converted to Islam, and the church became the Yeni Cuma
Camii, the New Friday Mosque.
South of Trabzon the landscape is dominated by three former great landowning and
pilgrim monasteries. Each is poised in a spectacular position and hides a sacred
cave church; each claims ancient, foundation; each was refounded and endowed by
the Grand Comneni; each was transformed and rebuilt in the 19th century and
aban¬doned in 1923; each is well worth visiting.
St. George Peristereota is 19 km south of Trabzon. A steep scramble up the hill
leads to the massive buildings through orchards unpruned for 70 years. Mostly
rebuilt after a fire in 1904, Peristereota once had the most important library
of the three monasteries.
The monastery of St. John the Forerunner, Vazelon, is in the midst of a
flower-strewn meadow. The 20th century facade conceals a 19th century church,
older buildings, and a cave The Monastery of the Black Virgin at Sümela was once
among the most revered of all pilgrim monasteries in the; Orthodox world.
43 km south of Trabzon is a remarkable sight, perched on a ledge 300 metres
above a deep valley kept verdant, by a bubbling river, the white walls of its
facade standing out sharply° from I he sheer. grey cliff in which it is
Sumela was founded in the 4th century when a monk, having received divine
instruction in a dream, brought to the cliff's caves an icon of the Virgin,
painted by the apostle Luke. The original structure was modest, but as
increasing numbers of monks journeyed here to pray before; the icon, and to
invoke miracles from it, the complex was extended. By the 14th century its power
and influence ranked second only to that of Mount Athos. However, after the
population exchange in 1923, all the monks were expelled and the holy icon was
taken away to
Athens. Pilgrims once faced a sixhour trek through the forests to
reach the monastery, today it is a forty-minute haul to the top, one of the most
beautiful vistas in all Turkey.
How to get there, where to stay?
'Trabzon is easily accessible from
Istanbul by a short, and direct, Turkish
Airlines flight, leaving every day. A more romantic approach is by boat; Turkish
Maritime Lines operates a weekly service from Istanbul which takes two full days
along the Black Sea coasts.

The piece of malware detected as W32.Changeup has been making the rounds since mid-2009 and its developers don't seem to be willing to give up on it just yet. Symantec experts have found a new variant of this threat circulating in the wild.
The highest number of detections has been recorded in India and Mexico, but the malware has been spotted all over North America, several South American countries and even in some parts of Africa.
Once it compromises a computer, Changeup installs additional malicious elements such as Backdoors and Trojans. It spreads via removable and mapped drives by using Windows' Autorun feature.
Symantec has updated both its antivirus and its Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to ensure that they're capable of neutralizing this new version of the threat.
Users who want to know how to secure their computers against pieces of malware that utilize the Autorun feature to spread can check out the advisory made by the security firm.

WOLF VALLEY, TEXAS. Wolf Valley is on U.S. Highway 183 twenty-four miles northeast of Brownwood and two miles from the Comanche county line in northeastern Brown County. The community was settled in the early 1880s, and the first grave in Wolf Valley dates to 1882. The town had a school by 1914, which was consolidated with the May school by 1929. In 1940 Wolf Valley had a church, a cemetery, and scattered dwellings. The town looked much the same in the 1960s, and the church and cemetery were still standing in the 1980s.

Daniel Craig Gossip
Daniel Craig gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Daniel Craig isn't that grumpy
Daniel Craig's new interview with Time Out London is being excerpted all over the place. He says he'd rather "slash my wrists" than do another Bond movie. And that he doesn't "give a f-ck" who gets cast to play Bond next. When I first read these quotes, I was like, Jesus Christ, what happened to his happiness? He's actually not that crusty though. Full Story
Gorgeous, Grim Bond
There's a new trailer for the latest Bond movie, Spectre, and we finally get a clear look at some of the new characters in play, including Dave Bautista as Mr. Hinx, Monica Bellucci and Lea Seydoux as the femme fatales, and Christoph Waltz as Totally Not Blofeld. Officially Waltz's character is listed as "Franz Oberhauser", but after the John Harrison/Khan bullsh*t Star Trek Into Darkness pulled and the ongoing March Of Lies surrounding Game of Thrones/Jon Snow, who the f*ck even believes filmmakers anymore? At this point, if Waltz really is playing legendary Bond villain Blofeld, no one will be surprised. Full Story
James Bond in a tactleneck
There's a new TV spot for Spectre, the next installment in the Bond franchise. (Every time someone asks me when superhero movies will be over, I remind them that Bond has been going strong for fifty-three years and watch the light die in their eyes.) It's mostly recycled from the teaser trailer Full Story
Bond in a great coat
Check out Daniel Craig in London on Sunday night shooting Bond Spectre. God he looks great in that ¾ coat. Actually, no, he looks great in both coats. Spectre is due in theatres November 6. That…doesn't feel like it's too far away. And I feel like it doesn't leave a lot of time for post. Full Story
007 returns for James Bond: The Winter Soldier
Clasos.com.mx/ Splash News, Clasos/ Getty Images
The first trailer for Spectre, the next installment in the James Bond franchise, arrived—oddly—on Friday evening, and it's more of what we've come to expect from Daniel Craig's stint as 007. Which is to say, it's moody and dark and everything is gray and chilly. Full Story
Bond & Bellucci in Rome
TIZIANA FABI/ Vittorio Zunino Celotto/ Getty Images
Daniel Craig and Monica Bellucci posed in Rome yesterday. Production on Spectre will begin in Rome on March 8th. It's been kind of a bumpy ride so far. Craig hurt his knee earlier this month in studio in London and a crew member was injured last week in Austria. The Rome scenes will reportedly involve a car chase and at some point they'll crash it into the Tiber. Full Story
Bond on the mountain
Jan Hetfleisch/ JOE KLAMAR/ Getty Images
Daniel Craig and Lea Seydoux were in Austria yesterday as production on Bond 24: Spectre has now moved to the ski resort in Soelden. Gorgeous backdrop, non? And perfect photo opportunity. Especially considering that after the Sony hack, there was so much sh-tty information circulating about the movie, how expensive it was, how the script is allegedly a mess. Full Story
Bond Spectre's first day
Last week, the Sony hacked email leak exposed the budget drama unfolding behind the scenes of Bond 24, now titled Spectre. A messy script was also revealed. According to Gawker, the movie opens strong but needs some serious retooling in the third act. Full Story
Sony Hack reveals budget drama on Bond 24
Fallout from the Sony Hack continues, and this time it's the new Bond movie, Spectre, caught in the crosshairs. Emails between the president of MGM, Jonathan Glickman, Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, and Sony executives, including co-chief Amy Pascal—is anyone having a worse week than Amy Pascal?—reveal that the new Bond movie is already way over budget, even though it just started filming on Monday. Full Story
Bond 24: Spectre
I like Bond movies but I'm no Bond historian. Spectre, the title of Bond 24, just announced today, will mean something to Bond nerds though the way "alohomora" means something to Potterheads (me). For many, a Bond film is an Event. My best friend Fiona is big on Bond. She'll see it the first weekend. Full Story
Daniel shorter
Daniel Craig was wearing his hair slightly longer for a while when he was on Broadway last year for Betrayal. Last night he stepped out in New York for an event at the Museum of Modern Art with a much shorter style. You like it? Word is he's starting work soon on the next Bond. They're currently working on casting some of the female characters. Full Story
Rachel & Daniel's night out
Wenn, Gilbert Carrasquillo/ Splash
We don't see these two very often. They spend time in New York but they don't wave themselves in front of the paps so when they do step out, it's like a gift. Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig were at the Night of Opportunity gala in NYC last night. The organisation helps low income high performance students access educational opportunities that might otherwise not be available. Full Story
Rachel, Daniel, Madonna, Pussy Riot, and Blondie
Janet Mayer/ Brian Prahl/ Splash, DON EMMERT/ Theo Wargo/ Getty
There are certain words we are not allowed to say on daytime television. But what if one of those words is part of a proper name? We can say pussy willow if we're actually referring to pussy willows. I'm not sure if we'd be allowed to say Pussy Riot when referring to the band. Anyway, Pussy Riot was part of the Amnesty International benefit concert last night in Brooklyn. Full Story
Gossip Nostalgia: Jude, Sienna, and Daniel Craig
Dan Kitwood/ Dave Hogan/ Dave M. Benett/ Getty
Remember when Jude Law got caught f-cking with his nanny Daisy while engaged to Sienna Miller? And then Sienna got back at him by f-cking Daniel Craig? Well we're reliving it now because Jude testified at that never-ending phone hacking trial in London where it was revealed that Sienna and Daniel (who starred in Layer Cake together – their chemistry was HOT) were actually carrying on for a while and she'd call Daniel while was with Jude and leave him messages like, "I can't talk.

Abdul Illah Saati
Okaz newspaper
Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi once held a meeting in Rome with a Saudi delegation of which I was a member. Berlusconi spoke proudly about the history of his country and said Rome was a big, open museum that had no parallel in the world. He further told us that the Italian government has a huge budget for the maintenance and upkeep of the historic sites and relics.
The attention given by a nation to its antiquities shows that it is a country whose people have a deep understanding and respect of civilization. Nations that are proud of their history, reserve and maintain their antiquities because of their great value as symbols of their history and civilization.
Our country is rich in history and has a large number of archeological treasures scattered all over its regions. The most important of these antiquities are the Islamic relics which show the history of Islam and its Prophet (peace be upon him). Saudi Arabia is the birth place of Islam so it contains many important Islamic antiquities that narrate the story of the Prophet (pbuh), the establishment of the first Islamic state, the efforts to spread Islam all over the world and the historic developments of the Islamic civilization.
It is really painful that we treat these relics in a manner that reflects our complete ignorance of their value and significance. Historian and writer Mohammed Al-Salmi once wrote "we consolidate our ignorance of the value of these relics with naked aggression against them. We deliberately destroy them to a degree that makes us unworthy of them." I would add to this and say that our dealing with Islamic antiquities reflects a great inability on our part in realizing the religious and historic significance of these antiquities. By this ignorance we are not only being unfair to ourselves but also to future generations.
It is high time we realize the great value of Islamic antiquities in our country. We should work hard to preserve and upkeep them in a manner that reflects their real worth. Makkah is the region which contains most of these Islamic antiquities. It is hoped that its Emir Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, who himself is an artist and thinker, will exert more efforts to preserve historic locations and maintain them for future generations. We also hope that the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (SCTA) will play a bigger role in preserving, developing and maintaining Islamic locations so people know more about the history of their religion.
We should give utmost priority to Islamic relics and the history of our Prophet (pbuh) and dismiss any calls that advocate otherwise as incompatible with the contemporary age we live in and the progressive nation we are striving to become.

America's Best Handling Car: The Winner - Audi R8
Faster? Better fuel economy? Sweet! =)
Harvey, I agree with you on the postings. And I agree with you on the manual tranmission thing. One of my favorite things to hear is a 3-2 downshift, followed by 2-neutral as I approach a stop sign. And, of course, there are some cars you just can't get an automatic, like a MINI or a 911. I'll give you a good example of where an automatic transmission is better than a maunual: San Francisco, CA. I just moved to the Haight/Ashbury neighborhood a few months ago and brought my manual Audi A4. I am now looking to replace it with a VW gti with DSG. I drove the A3 with DSG last time I got an oil change, and it is phenomenal; just as exciting as a manual. And when you're not charging away from lights and onto the freeway, it's a exciting and sophisticated transmission for cruising around the city. If and when I move out of the city, I'll look at getting a manual again. But until then, anybody want to buy a well taken care of, 2002 Audi A4?
Old? Me? Hell, I still have yet to crack 22, dude. It's more a mental thing. If that's humor, I didn't get it, but then again I'm not a fan of Chevy Chase or Jerry Seinfeld so it's probably just a taste thing.As far as the transmissions, it does open windows to buyers who aren't great with a stick. At least Porsche still has the option. Besides, the last M5 transmission (both on the current and previous model-- same tranny) were always pegged as crap by auto-mags. But DSG is still in need of improvement. Not to mention Porsche didn't always have great self-rows on their front engine cars (I'm not saying all of them, but usually).There's just something so much more balanced and dramatic about a real stick. The sound of the engine holding a tone for a millisecond, then the clutch goes in, the gear is shifted, and the tires chirp when the power is put back in. Or that sound of holding a gear in high rpm and backing off the gas. It's a great throbbing whine I'm addicted to.
I totally agree with you FASTALAN, thats exactly the economical argument that i was refering to. but still, you can't help but feel disappointed that what's porshces have come to right.
Numerous companies can produce one shot product that bench mark or even exceed a regular 911 of their time, eg. Honda, Chevy, Nissan, Audi, I bet in 5 years, Hyundai could come out with model that match Cayman performance (engine tuned by Cosworth, suspension by Lotus) but non of them have demonstrated the ability to focus, refine and expand their sports car business model into the same scale as Porsche has done so in the last 20 year. Remember the old Porsche slogan that began in the early 90's? When it comes to choosing a sports car, There Is No Substitute.
superb4, think of this way, all those buyers of autobox Porsche 911s have been what have kept Porsche financially stable over last 2 decades, allowing Porsche to continuously developing new models and most importantly to keep them in sports car racing. One of the contributor is my mother who back in the early 90's, bought the 993 C4-S with the 4 speed tiptronics (as a result of her friend first buying another autobox 993 C2). That tiptronic virtually opened an important buyer market for Porsche that remains till today.
i'm in total agreement with HARVEY on both counts. i was shocked and disappointed when porsche announced that they would start to produce their 911 turbo with an automatic way back in the late 90's. cars of this caliber, such as the m5, 911 turbo, etc, once used to be cars on a pedestal that you could only purchase in proper three pedal form. but the economical argument that car makers will most likely cite is that the people with the financial leeway to actually purchase cars such as these simply cannot drive stick. i feel that enthusiast driving is ever closer coming down to more the car's capability rather than the driver's.
Yes that has me written all over it Fire?
I believe that all automobiles sooner or later will have direct injection. Direct injection is a win/win. High gasoline prices are here to stay.
rabble rabble rabble im pissy and old and cant stand humor of any kind rabble
I can't help but shake my head to two things today: performance cars with only two pedals, and people posting like they're in the eighth grade. Get some sophistication if you feel like trying to put someone down, or go to dictionary.com and use a thesaurus, but just please, spare the rest of us the "haters" and "I've never heard of you, so you must suck" mentality. There's a difference between an automotive reports magazine that's been around since the 1940's and a website celebrating a single line of car that has only been out since 2005.
I love the Cayman, but it did need more power, now it will be even better.
well congrats mr.fancypants porsche club guy. motortrend still wins caues they're cooler and have a magazine and you dont and have other kick a** cars and you dont and cause ive been reading it for at least 5 years and havent even heard of you, or your club.
You mean that Motor Trend is verifying the information we broke on the www.CaymanClub.net site a month ago? See: http://www.caymanclub.net/cayman-chat/25097-2010-cayman-digital-mock-ups.htmlDealers are already taking orders for these...
porsche makes me want to sell my non-existant kids. and maybe take out a 2nd mortgage on my non-existant house. i wonder how many bodily fluids i have to sell, and what organs i dont REALLY need...
320 horses and a dual-clutch transmission in the lightweight cayman? Where do i sign?

Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera will sit down with team owner Jerry Richardson on Saturday to discuss the future. Richardson hasn't commented publicly on Rivera's status since October but has told Rivera that he wanted to see improvement in the team, The Charlotte Observer reported Friday. The Panthers finished with a 7-9 record and in second place in the NFC South Division following a 44-38 victory on Sunday over New Orleans. After the Panthers fired general manager Marty Hurney in October, they went 6-4 and won their final four games of the season. According to The Observer, Rivera said Richardson has maintained his support of the coach, who completed his second season with the Panthers after serving as defensive coordinator for San Diego. If the Panthers decide to let Rivera go, he would become the eighth NFL head coach to lose his job since the end of the season. Carolina shouldn't panic, though, in getting a late start on a potential search compared with other te...

Are you a private trainer, nutritionist or anybody who is in the healthcare industry that has important knowledge on something which can be an excellent discovery in healthcare which can also help millions of people. Need to know how information marketing techniques works with product creation? So, in what manner can a product be regarded as an achievement?
Well, it's all about creating a product that solves problems. It's a kind of product that will resolve the particular requirements of a certain market. Getting a product with a certain niche is necessary for it to profit successfully.
Offering products that reduce weight can be an instance, although it's too vast to cover. Narrow it down to something that individuals can latch onto. It's true that most people are quite fond in shedding weight, but how will your details concerning the product be different from others? Can it make any difference of 10 pounds in their bodyweight? Does the outcome come fast? Quick fat loss? How to workout with a stability ball? Kettlebell exercises? If these ideas will be marketed in the Internet and people will discover that their problems are related to them, then it will help benefit these products and then make them salable to these individuals.
To sum it up, reducing the interests to something specific and addressing their problems is the initial step in creating online info about products. Today, go-ebooks are regarded as obsolete and are disused. On the other hand, videos are more commonly used right now and they do market more than these. Bear that in mind when you're coming up with your product.
For example, your preparation for this product has been finish. You already did your study about the market and you've got a product that can market well, then what you need to consider next is how can you sell it?
Online information marketing is about getting your product viewed and found by many people out there, especially online viewers. Begin by creating a Youtube channel and getting quick 1 to 2 minute videos up on your channel, get a blog and begin writing and creating excellent content that gets people's attention. There can be other folks that share the same passions with you, find one and try to create a great write-up for them. This could be a way for you to increase website traffic. You may even perform these things well without spending money.
Give your product an edgy name. The product name should be catchy enough to get the attention of the people. Make it exceptional and unique and you'll have an easier time marketing it.
Your email lists can be put to good use in this. If you don't have an email list put together of you clients, then you're missing out big time. Your main goal must be to collect email addresses of potential customers and teach, inform, and entertain them with weekly emails getting them to know, like, and have faith in you. With that, you can promote your product easily and get buyers as well. Let it be certain that it's a product that your list would really want.

Bottled water: The New Vice
December 30 2009 | Rise Above Plastics,
by scott harrison
The interesting twist here is that they propose to put an end to the state's groundwater being extracted (and bottled) without what many see as proper compensation to the state's residents. So perhaps instead of "Tax the Lazy (bottled water users)" and give to the undereducated, we can think of it as a Robin Hood-esque drama: Tax water rustlers and give to the undereducated...and hopefully clip plastic bottle production? Revolutionary…
A similar and hard-hitting position is taken by two recent movies on the subject of groundwater ownership: Flow and Tapped - check them out and make the connection to the basics of the Rise Above Plastics campaign for yourself!

Sick sea lion numbers drop one year after crisis
The scratching at the door came early on Valentine's Day.
When someone opened the door of the Rincon Parkway home, a small, skinny sea lion pup shuffled in, finding a table and curling up beneath it.
It was Patient 6, emaciated and sick.
As of late last week the Channel Islands Marine & Wildlife Institute in Gaviota was up to 37 patients rescued in Ventura County this year.
"Mostly what we're seeing is skinny, behind the curve on eating, just not doing well after weaning," said Dr. Sam Dover, a veterinarian and the center's executive director.
That's fairly typical for this time of year as pups start to wean. The numbers have kept the center busy, although it has far fewer patients than last year, Dover said.
Rescue centers from San Diego to Santa Barbara were pushed to their limits after hundreds of emaciated pups started showing up in January 2013.
More than 1,550 had been admitted for rehabilitation by April 2013 — at least five times more than normal. The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration declared an "unusual mortality event" for California sea lions in late March 2013.
That move allowed officials to gather a team of experts to investigate and try to pinpoint a cause. One leading theory has been that a sardine decline left the sea lions with less fatty and less high-energy food, like rockfish and market squid.
Findings are still inconclusive, but the unusual mortality event has ended, said Sharon Melin, a wildlife biologist with the National Marine Mammal Lab in Seattle. She has studied sea lions on San Miguel Island, off the Ventura County coast, for 28 years.
Typically, about 25,000 to 28,000 pups are born each June in the rookery on San Miguel. Pups typically stay with their mothers until about April or May.
But when Melin and others went out in September 2012, the pups were much thinner than normal, she said. By February 2013, they were not faring any better.
"These are pups still at the colony," Melin said. They still had their mothers to help them. By then, others had started showing up along the coast emaciated and dehydrated, long before they should have been weaned.
"We think for some reason they thought it would be better to go out on their own," Melin said. But they were too small, not fat enough and not capable enough to find food.
"If an adult female was struggling, a little pup doesn't have much of a chance," she said.
By April 2013, things seemed like they were turning around a bit on the island, Melin said. The pups had gained weight but still were small. Despite concerns that those pups also would show up stranded, a lot of them did fine.
This year the trend toward improvement seems to be continuing.
"They were still a little bit small," Melin said of the pups at San Miguel this year. But they were doing quite well, she said.
Compared with the 37 marine mammals stranded this year in Ventura County — nearly all of them young sea lions — volunteers and staff members had rescued 77 by this time last year, said Ruth Dover, who runs the Gaviota rescue and rehab center with her husband, Sam. Eight of the sea lions, including Patient 6, have recovered and been released back into the ocean near the Channel Islands.
The Dovers got a permit and opened the clinic about eight years ago in a former school off U.S. Highway 101. Classrooms were turned into a hospital and surgery room. Outdoor rehab pools were added to the grounds. On a recent afternoon, sea lions took a dip, stretched out poolside in the sun or wandered into and out of large crates. They are moved out there when they are getting ready to be released.
The center has been busier than in some years, but finding young sea lions stranded around this time is not out of the ordinary. Determining what a normal number would be is hard, as weather and other conditions change each year.
"I don't think there is a normal," Sam Dover said. "Every year is different."
Discovering how last year's crisis will affect the overall sea lion population will take a few years, officials said.
"We think we're probably looking at about a 70 percent mortality rate," Melin said. Births also fell significantly in 2013.
But with a healthy population of about 300,000, the sea lions are expected to be all right, she said.
"While it was really dramatic, it isn't going to cause some sort of spiral for California sea lions."

Partial Success Message
I am running Netbackup Solaris 10 Master / Media servers (22.214.171.124) and several Windows 2008 64 Bit (7.1) clients are getting partial success messages, but there are no WARNING or ERROR messages in the detail log. Is this a know condition with Netbackup ?
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
You may be looking at the Parent job which will reflect the status of any of its child jobs
In activity monitor look to see if the job you are looking at shows a Schedule name - if not it is a parent job
Filter the view by that policy name and client and look for the associated child job (one that does have a schedule name) that has a status of 1 - this is where you will find the error encountered
A Problems report for the Client will also give full details of the skipped files
Hope this helps

Don't forget to "Mark as Solution" if someones advice has solved your issue - and please bring back the Thumbs Up!!.
Thank you very much for everyones input into this. I have checked, and there are no child jobs (not multi streaming). The job does include the policy and schedule name. Working from a Java Gui behind a firewall, so getting a screen print of the detail log will be a challenge. Will install the Admin Console so I can copy / paste
You can also copy text in Java Console (I do it all the time).
The other option is to run Problem report or All Log Entries report for this client for the backup period.

Middlesex v Warwickshire: Barker bowls Bears into winning position
County Championship Division One, Uxbridge
Close, day three: Warwickshire 486-6 dec, Middlesex 309 & 147-5
Warwickshire 6 pts, Middlesex 3 pts
Warwickshire paceman Keith Barker led the way at Uxbridge with another four wickets in the day as the Bears enforced the follow-on to bowl themselves into a winning position.
Resuming on 177-4, Australian Adam Voges was the key man for Middlesex, taking his overnight 82 to 150.
T20 reward for Edgbaston
After Edgbaston's success in June as the main Champions Trophy stage, accommodating 105,000 spectators over the course of five matches, Warwickshire have been awarded an extra Twenty20 international next summer.
Edgbaston, was already scheduled to host one-dayers against India and Sri Lanka in 2014 - but they have now been awarded a T20 against India.
Bears chief executive Colin Povey said: "England have a fantastic record at Edgbaston. We're thrilled to welcome them back to Birmingham.
"The £32million redevelopment of the stadium was designed to give the best possible cricket experience to players, spectators and officials.
"The ICC Champions Trophy showcased these facilities on the world's biggest stage and being allocated this match is a welcome reward to the fans who gave such great support."
But once his 180-run stand with John Simpson (63) was over, Middlesex could only reach 309, Barker claiming 4-47.
Barker then took two more, as did Boyd Rankin, as Middlesex closed on 147-5.
Bears spinner Jeetan Patel also took four wickets in the Middlesex first innings, including the key scalps of Simpson and Voges, who was second to last out after putting on 72 for the ninth wicket with Ravi Patel to steer his side within 38 runs of saving the follow-on.
But, despite Jeetan Patel having so far proved wicketless from his 17 overs in the second innings, the home side still need another 30 runs to make Warwickshire bat again.
Sam Robson (29), Joe Denly (37) and Neil Dexter (36) all got out after making decent starts, but the home side do at least still have Voges at the crease.
He lost first innings partner Simpson just before the close, but Voges registered his intentions, having so far stayed 83 minutes for an obdurate 15.
Barker has now taken 22 wickets in five Championship matches since making a delayed start to the season following injury.
BBC London 94.9's Kevin Hand:
"Middlesex have it all to do tomorrow if they are to avoid defeat after losing 11 wickets. Warwickshire's attack has been relentless, giving their opponents little room for manoeuvre even when partnerships have got going.
"Adam Voges was magnificent and faultless up to his dismissal, which crucially came 38 runs short of the follow-on target.
"The hosts have lost wickets in clutches but will need to make the most of every partnership that remains if they're to bat for another two sessions to give themselves a chance of saving the game."
BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's Clive Eakin:
"Warwickshire have a great chance of reaping the rewards of two positive decisions.
"First, they declared earlier than expected and then, after establishing a first innings lead of 177 they enforced the follow-on at the risk of having to bat last on a potentially turning pitch.
"So far the pitch has continued to play fairly well, with Bears spinner Jeetan Patel making the most of limited assistance."

SIRIUS Streams The Best In Premium Satellite Radio Entertainment And Services To The 2004 Consumer Electronics Show
CES, LAS VEGAS & NEW YORK – January 7, 2004 – Today at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI), known for delivering the very best in commercial-free music and premium sports programming to cars and homes across the country, announced innovative new products and services for satellite radio, introduced new hardware partners, expanded its programming lineup and welcomed acclaimed artist and songwriter Steven Van Zandt to the SIRIUS programming team.
"The Consumer Electronics show is a pivotal event for SIRIUS, and we are thrilled to showcase what the future holds for us and to welcome new partners to the SIRIUS family," said Joseph P. Clayton, President and CEO, SIRIUS. "SIRIUS and satellite radio are the future of audio entertainment, and we will be providing CES attendees with a sample of what they can expect from the company heading into 2004."
Expanded Services: Video, Traffic Information and Surround Sound Technologies Showcased
SIRUS and Delphi Corp. today took the next step in the development of in-car mobile video transmissions over a satellite radio network. The new video platform, which was demonstrated today at a press conference and is being showcased in vehicles in Las Vegas during the week, should be available to car manufacturers within eighteen months. The video delivery capability utilizes SIRIUS' existing infrastructure. Through SIRIUS' three-satellite network, the company plans to offer multiple channels of video to complement its more than 100 streams of audio.
SIRIUS plans to offer real-time traffic information to subscribers beginning in early 2005. This new feature will be offered in a range of tiered service options and will be compatible with navigational systems used by automotive OEMs and aftermarket suppliers.
SIRIUS also introduced satellite radio's first surround sound capability with the launch of matrix surround broadcasts over SIRIUS' music streams. The SIRIUS-only technology is compatible with virtually all surround sound audio systems already on the market, including such names as DolbyTM, SRSTM and Logic 7TM, and does not require any additional hardware for consumers.
Product: New Products and Partners Strengthen SIRIUS' Brand Lineup
SIRIUS and Audiovox announced that a boombox manufactured by Audiovox is now available at retail, and SIRIUS and Pana-Pacific announced that a SIRIUS boombox for the STREAMER, manufactured by Pana-Pacific, will be available at retailers in January. The Audiovox boombox (SIRBB1), which began shipping during the holidays, has an MSRP of $99.99. Previously sold S.R.S. receivers (SIR-PNP1 & SIR-PNP2) are fully compatible with the new boombox.
SIRIUS and Pana-Pacific announced that their portable boombox will be available at commercial truck dealers and truck stops with a MSRP of $99.95. This portable boombox is designed to operate with STREAMER, the transportable radio from Pana-Pacific.
SIRIUS also unveiled the KT-SR1000, the first portable Plug & Play satellite radio product manufactured by JVC. The JVC Plug & Play, which resembles a handheld PC device and has many exciting features, allows subscribers to use the same SIRIUS receiver in their car, home, office, boat and RV. It will retail for $99.95 and be available at electronics and mobile audio retailers across the country beginning in late January.

A Fan of Chinese New Year
Most school kids know how to make folding fans out of a piece of paper. This Chinese New Year, I wanted to make the type of round folding fans that open in a circle for our craft. They are almost as simple and even more fun.
- One sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper
- markers
- scissors
- paste
- two craft sticks
- tape
1. Cut the paper in half, length-wise, so you now have two pieces of 11″ paper. Glue the paper end to end to make one long sheet of paper.
2. Decorate the paper as you wish. My eldest two drew a dragon eating lai see. My two and a half year old proudly scribbled in red. He says it is a dragon, too.
3. Accordion fold the paper.
4. Tape the bottom of the folded fan together.
5. Glue a craft stick to each side of the fan.
Have fun!
Educational Connections:
- Culture: Find out about the Chinese fan.
- Art: Learn about some of the motifs in Chinese decorative arts.
- Culture: Each Chinese Year is represented by an animal on a 12-year zodiacal cycle. What your Chinese astrological sign?

- Home Arts: How do families of Chinese heritage prepare their homes for the New Year? What does this represent?
- Home Arts: Make some of the traditional Chinese New Year dishes.
- Field Trip: See if a cultural center or neighborhood near you is celebrating Chinese New Year and if guests are welcome.
- Mathematics: The Chinese New Year arrives on a different day of the Western calendar each year. Why is that?

A Booming Breakfast
4th of July is coming up so we had some American fun with our firecracker pancakes. We used pancakes, eggs, blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream.
We made our pancakes into a rectangle shape. We sliced blueberries and strawberries. We lined up the blueberries on the top of the pancake and lined the strawberries up with spaces under the blueberries. Add some blueberries to make the fuse. We beat 1 egg and fried that up in the pan. Cool a bit and cut it into a star to add to the top. Finish it off with spraying on the whipped cream in between the strawberries.
My kids are not big on eating blueberries unless we make something like this. They gobbled them all up!
Linking up to these awesome link parties...please check them out!

Davies Symphony Hall Add to iCalendar
With its cinematic sweep and use of Russian revolutionary songs, Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11 evokes the passion, violence, and pain of some of the pivotal moments and places of the 1905 Russian Revolution. Russian-born conductor Semyon Bychkov, who lived under Soviet rule for 22 years before making a new beginning in the United States, brings his profound understanding and experience to the work. The concert opens with Schubert's beloved Unfinished Symphony. Found in a cluttered drawer more than thirty years after his death, the majestic and dramatic melodies of the two unforgettable movements that Schubert completed herald the beginning of the Romantic era.
The Thursday Matinee concerts are endowed by a gift in memory of Rhoda Goldman.
"Semyon Bychkov and the San Francisco Symphony exuded the confidence and anticipatory pleasure of travelers setting out on a familiar journey. The audience at Davies Symphony Hall was warmly invited along for the ride." —SAN FRANCISCO CLASSICAL VOICE

CENTRAL FALLS — Fundraising for a project, especially in tough economic times, is always challenging. But when the project centers around someone as universally liked as the city's late fire chief, Rene Coutu, the task becomes a lot easier.
Coutu, who served as fire chief for 25 years, died on Dec. 7, 2010, at the age of 60 after a battle with cancer. Now, longtime friend and Ward 2 City Councilor Robert Ferri wants to have a city park dedicated to Coutu's memory.
"I've known Rene a long time, and he's a guy so deserving of something in this city," said Ferri.
Ferri added that ever since Coutu's passing, getting some kind of memorial established in the chief's name "was on my bucket list, whether I was on the council or not." He said he recently spoke with Coutu's wife, Denise, and his sister, Michelle, about the project, and said the family was pleased with the idea. Mayor James Diossa has also given the project the go-ahead, he said.
The location Ferri has in mind is the small park at the corner of Lewis and Hunt streets. It is not far from the house where Coutu lived with his family, and Ferri thinks it would be an ideal place to have some kind of monument or plaque in Coutu's honor.
"I walk by here myself all the time, and it's a nice, peaceful little place. I just thought it would be perfect," said Ferri. He is hoping to have the project completed by next May 4, which is International Firefighters Day.
Ferri noted that his own father had worked as a Central Falls firefighter in the 1950s, along with Coutu's father, Robert Coutu, who had also served as chief. "You always knew Rene was going to be a firefighter," noted Ferri. He added that some had suggested the Central Falls Fire Station should be dedicated to Coutu, but he thought the park was better. "The city has had so many great fire chiefs," he said, adding that he didn't want to foster any hard feelings by singling one out.

Brad Pitt was a bible-thumping struggling actor when he stripped down in the movie 'Thelma and Louise', as revealed by Jason Priestley in his new memoir.
The former 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star in his self-titled book, "Jason Priestley: A Memoir", revealed that the 50-year-old actor threw a small holiday party after a Christmas visit with his family in the Midwest in 1990, and all the guys exchanged bottles of booze except for him, the New York Post reported.
Priestley mentioned that Pitt had returned from Missouri with a box of Bibles and there was one for each of them and he was so pleased with himself that he could not stop smiling.
Priestley added that Pitt also was having a secret affair with his co-star Geena Davis at that time.

The rhino is a large grazing mammal that belongs to the family of rhinocerotidae. There exists five species namely: The great Indian rhino, Javan rhino, Sumatran or Asiatic rhino (found in south-central Asia), the African black rhino and the African white rhino (found in sub-saharan Africa). Characterized by one or more horns on the snout, the rhino have thick loose skin with little hair and stumpy powerful legs with tree toes on each foot. They generally have poor eyesight but a sharp sense of hearing and smell.
It rests quietly in central Kenya, just south of the equator, around 150 kilometers north-northeast of the capital Nairobi. It is here where the Kikuyu god, Ngai, resides. It is in this awe-inspiring sight and one of the most impressive landscapes in East Africa, where the name of the country was derived. It has permanent glaciers and is a hotspot for climbing and hiking, attracting several thousand climbers both local and international annually. It could only be Mount Kenya.
Between 1979 and 1989, a time when there was an illegal ivory trade, African elephants were poached at such a rapid rate that the continent-wide population was cut from 1.3 million to approximately 600,000. When the fight against illegal poaching was ignited in 1999, many human lives were lost, but the elephant's lives were saved, albeit for a short period. But the illegal trade has never ceased as more elephants poached annually are supplied to illegal ivory markets, especially in China and other Asian countries.
Gorillas are the largest of the living primates and are known to inhabit the forests of Central Africa. They are divided into two species. Mountain gorillas, found in the Virunga volcanic mountains region shared by Rwanda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda are common within the Central Africa region. However, their populations are declining rapidly because of poaching, civil unrest, charcoal trade intruding into their habitats and diseases like Ebola hemorrhagic fever, whose symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting and internal and external bleeding.
Mention North Eastern province to any Kenyan consistent enough to watch television once or twice a week and you will receive in response, at the very least, a brief flinch and perhaps a resigned face. And rightfully so. This region, located in northeastern Kenya, bordering lawless Somalia and the barely peaceful Sudan, is known for ceaseless fighting, bloody cattle raids, devastating famine and high levels of starvation.
It is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. Commonly known as the Kings of the Jungle with strong muscles, compact bodies and powerful forelegs, teeth, and jaws for pulling down and killing prey, acute eyesight, and intimidating roaring, they appear as a symbol of power and dominance, audacity and aristocracy in national flags, clothing's, coats of arms and family crests.
Kenya is famous from many of its appealing natural reserves. Tourists have come into the country from far and wide for a glimpse at these extravagant sights. Over and over the same regions have been advertised and have been promoted far above others. A good example is that of Thompson Falls found in Nyahururu. Undoubtedly this waterfall has more historical and cultural appeal not to mention its size and power. However there is so much more to discover off the beaten paths. There are small wonders to behold in the heart of the country.
The Congo- River boasts of many titles: Africa's most powerful river and the world's most voluminous river. The fifth longest river covers over 2,720 miles. This is 2,720 miles of untamed, glorious scenery. The river has inspired many a writer. Books such as THE LAST HERO by Peter Forbath and THE HEART OF DARKENESS by Joseph Conrad feature the Congo River as its back drop.
The light bronze colored sky, burnt by the setting sun; the sudden clapping of wings as the birds take off in the distance; the silhouette of the magnificent elephant and her calf, slowly moving across the savanna nudging her offspring on gently with her trunk. The reflection in the watering whole is captivating. Two golden orbs seem to float in mid air as the sun slowly sinks over the horizon. Tranquility, as the Serengeti starts its daily adjustment at dusk.
It sits silently on the Northeast area of Tanzania. Its icy cap peaking over the misty white clouds that endeavor to obscure its sight from onlookers down below. Though the volcano appears to be dormant on the inside, events on top of the mountain draw global attention. It is Africa's highest peak at 5,892 meters. It stands in splendid isolation above its savannah surroundings. It is Mount Kilimanjaro.
Nigeria, The Gambia, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Cameroon are among the countries which make up the scenic West African coastline. The coastline, which stretches to Sierra Leone offers an enormous potential for tourism activities. However, the coastline is faced with a looming environmental disaster which could see it wiped out of the map by the end of the century, according to marine geologists.
