Confused? You Will be!

The calendar says January 10th but the plants say middle of March. Climate craziness is sending usually clockwork plant systems into confusion as Germany experiences a blast of early spring. Temperatures which have been in the low single digits for the past month or so suddenly leapt into double figures this week, dragging some sleepy blooms from their winter rest. They, as will the people of Germany, will get a shock next week, however. Temperatures are expected to plummet again, forcing the population to grab their jackets again and the plants to battle on against the unpredictability of the seasons.

Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me



It still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss and
It's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
I'm still hold on and you're still the one
The first time our eyes met it's the same feelin' I get
Only feels much stronger and I wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on

So If you're feelin' lonely.. don't
You're the only one I'd ever want
I only wanna make it good
So if I love ya a little more than I should

Please forgive me I know not what I do
Please forgive me I can't stop lovin' you
Don't deny me

This pain I'm going through
Please forgive me
If I need ya like I do
Please believe me
Every word I say is true
Please forgive me I can't stop loving you
Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch

We're still gettin' closer baby
Can't get close enough I'm still holdin' on
You're still number one I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all your moves
I remember you
I remember the nights ya know I still do

One thing I'm sure of
Is the way we make love
And the one thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm prayin'
That's why I'm sayin'...

Active Galaxy Centaurus A

Explanation: A mere 11 million light-years away, Centaurus A is a giant elliptical galaxy - the closest active galaxy to Earth. This remarkable composite view of the galaxy combines image data from the x-ray ( Chandra), optical(ESO), and radio(VLA) regimes. Centaurus A's central region is a jumble of gas, dust, and stars in optical light, but both radio and x-ray telescopes trace a remarkable jet of high-energy particles streaming from the galaxy's core. The cosmic particle accelerator's power source is a black hole with about 10 million times the mass of the Sun coincident with the x-ray bright spot at the galaxy's center. Blasting out from the active galactic nucleus toward the upper left, the energetic jet extends about 13,000 light-years. A shorter jet extends from the nucleus in the opposite direction. Other x-ray bright spots in the field are binary star systems with neutron stars or stellar mass black holes. Active galaxy Centaurus A is likely the result of a merger with a spiral galaxy some 100 million years ago.

Jupiter's Rings Revealed

Explanation: Why does Jupiter have rings? Jupiter's rings were discovered in 1979 by the passing Voyager 1 spacecraft, but their origin was a mystery. Data from the Galileo spacecraftJupiter from 1995 to 2003 later confirmed that these rings were created by meteoroid impacts on small nearby moons. As a small meteoroid strikes tiny Adrastea, for example, it will bore into the moon, vaporize, and explode dirt and dust off into a Jovian orbit. Pictured above is an eclipse of the Sun by Jupiter, as viewed from Galileo. Small dust particles high in Jupiter's atmosphere, as well as the dust particles that compose the rings, can be seen by reflected sunlight.

Picture of the Day

تم الأسبوع الماضي في مدينة ماربوح الألمانية نصب مسلة ضوء ضخمة على شكل قلب مشع، وزنها 1.3 طن وطولها وحجمها 8 في 8 متر. والملفت للنظر في هذا العمل الفني الضخم والبديع انه يمكن الاتصال به تلفونيا، حيث يمكن اختيار الرقم 771207 مع إضافة المفتاح 09005 وعند استقبال هذا الرقم يقوم يصدر القلب أضواء متلألئة يمكن لساكني ماربوج مشاهدتها. والرقم 7.7.1207 هو تاريخ ميلاد اليزبيت المقدسة التي صمم هذا العمل للتذكير بها بمناسبة ما يطلق عليه "سنة اليزابيت". 09005 اليزابيت كانت امرأة صالحة تنتمي إلى عائلة ملكية هنجارية، تزوجت من ابن أمير توبينجن لودفيج هيرمان الأول، وبعد موته انتقلت للعيش في ماربوج، حيث تخلت عن الحياة الارستقراطية لتعيش حياة البسطاء وتنذر نفسها لمساعدة الفقراء والمحتاجين. وقد بنت في ماربوج أول مستشفى لمعالجة الفقراء في ماربوج وبنت فيها أول مستشفى لمعالجة الفقراء. وتوجد في ماربوج كنيسة تحمل اسمها تعد من إحدى روائع البناء وتحفة فنية على مستوى أوروبا. وينسج حول اليزابيت الكثير من الحكايات والقصص، ويشعر أبناء ماربوج بالفخر وهم يتحدثون عن اليزابيت ويشيرون إلى تلك الكبيسة الرائعة التي تدل على المرأة التي حملت اسمها.

Picture of the Day

Explanation: Dust from curious near-Earth asteroid 3200 Phaethon seems to fall from the constellation Gemini in this fisheye skyview. The composite image was recorded over four December nights (12-15) just last year from Ludanyhalaszi, Hungary. Of course, the streaks are meteor trails from the annual Geminids meteor shower. The work of astronomer Erno Berko, the finished picture combines 113 different frames and captures 123 separate meteors. The Geminids is one of the northern skies most reliably performing meteor showers and did not disappoint last year. Under good conditions some skywatchers reported well over 100 meteors per hour near the December 14/15 peak for the Geminids in 2007. Look up tonight and you might see the 2008 Quadrantids.

January 1 TCP/IP

The new Google logo celebrates a milestone invention leading to the modern Internet.

January 1, 83 TCP/IP

This article gives a more in-depth look at what TCP/IP is. It was established as an ARPANET standard on January 1, 1983.

TCP/IP:

IP - is responsible for moving packet of data from node to node. IP forwards each packet based on a four byte destination address (the IP number). The Internet authorities assign ranges of numbers to different organizations. The organizations assign groups of their numbers to departments. IP operates on gateway machines that move data from department to organization to region and then around the world.

TCP
- is responsible for verifying the correct delivery of data from client to server. Data can be lost in the intermediate network. TCP adds support to detect errors or lost data and to trigger retransmission until the data is correctly and completely received.

Sockets - is a name given to the package of subroutines that provide access to TCP/IP on most systems. (Yale.edu)

There are many layers built ontop of TCP/IP. And another protocol called UDP, which is predominatly used in games and other networking situations where low-latency is required is completely different.

The major layers on top of TCP/IP are:

HTTP:
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (for requesting webpages)
FTP: File Transfer Protocol (for uploading files to websites)
SMTP and POP3: For sending (SMTP) and receiving (POP3) e-mail
IRC: For chatting online

There are also many-non standard protocols built on top of TCP/IP. For instance, AOL Instant Messenger uses a third-party protocol to transfer chat messages between clients!

Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Morten Harket



You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay..

Picture of the Day

Explanation: This symmetric cloud dubbed the Boomerang Nebula was created by a high-speed wind of gas and dust blowing from an aging central star at speeds of nearly 600,000 kilometers per hour. The rapid expansion has cooled molecules in the nebular gas to about one degree above absolute zero - colder than even the cosmic background radiation - making it the coldest known region in the distant Universe. Shining with light from the central star reflected by dust, the frigid Boomerang Nebula is believed to be a star or stellar system evolving toward the planetary nebula phase. This Hubble image was recorded using polarizing filters (analogous to polariod sunglasses) and color coded by the angle associated with the polarized light. The gorgeous result traces the small dust particles responsible for polarizing and scattering the light. The Boomerang Nebula spans about one light year and lies about 5,000 light years away toward the constellation Centaurus.

Berlin - Take My Breath Away



Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away

Modern Talking - Girl Out of My Dreams



Dreams that money just can't buy
You give away no try and now you're gone, is it forever?
Love for me is not a game
Don't play a trick again, it's over now, is it forever
Don't hurt my heart

Oh I thought you are the girl out of my dreams
I'll be there for you, oh baby, now it seems
You're the one who quit this love and let me go
Is it over now, I have to know

Girl, oh why you changed your mind?
There's a way we'll find, but why you're gone, is it forever?
Love is looking through my eyes
Don't leave this paradise, it's over now, is it forever?
Don't hurt my heart

I have to know, I have to know...

محمد المازم - حرام



حرام أنا مسويتلك شي
تتركني بلا أسباب بلا أعذار وأنا إحساسي كان النار وشلي صار
كنت صادق معاك كنت والله وفيك
حرام أنا ماسويتلك شي

ليه فجئة تبتعد عن عيني وتغيب عطني فرصة فيها استوعب الوضع الغريب
حرام أنا ماسويتلك شي

قلبك إلي طاوعك قادر على الهجران وإلي أخذته معك قلبي أنا الإنسان
حرام أنا ماسويتلك شي

الله يسامح هذا الزمن ويسامحك وياه وإن كان للفرحة تمن عشناها ودفعناه
حرام أنا ماسويتلك شي
