Turkish classical music, refined in the Ottoman Empire from the 16th through 18th centuries, reflects profound spiritual influences, most notably those of the mystic Sufi Mevlevi or "whirling dervishes." Multi-instrumentalist and singer Omar Faruk Tekbilek forges a compelling eclectic approach to this Islamic devotional tradition.
His virtuoso technique and uninhibited approach to composition and sacred musical interpretation blends a sweeping array of Levantine percussion, wind and stringed instruments with bongos, keyboards, toy piano, electric and acoustic six- and twelve-stringed steel and classical guitars, flamenco guitar and palmas, violin and cello. Faruk leads a practiced ensemble whose sinuous exploration of his own and classical Turkish compositions, weaving an extended meditative tapestry of sound whose layered texture defies easy categorization, inviting audiences themselves to surrender their aesthetic preconceptions and listen anew.

Picture Clackamas County
There are plenty of reasons to come to Clackamas County, but for filmmakers, it's all about location. From its historic downtowns and urban centers to rural countryside and Mt. Hood, Clackamas County offers diverse, picturesque settings.
A Guide to Filming in Clackamas County
Recommended Best Practices in Film Regulations and Policies
Film and media production is an economic development opportunity for Clackamas County that can provide jobs within the region generate local revenue and bolster local businesses. Oregon's motion picture production is a significant source of economic activity, tax revenue, jobs and tourism. In Clackamas County, film and media production contributes more than $360 million dollars annually to the county's GDP (direct and in-direct) while supporting nearly 4,800 well-paying jobs.
It is always important to balance the needs of a production company with the concerns of local government and the local community. Once a city or county has created a film ordinance (see model filming ordinance attached), they should consider establishing policies and regulations that are "film friendly" with the intent to increase or retain filming in a community.
Best Practices to consider when creating film policies
Rapid film permits issuance: 1 – 2 of the County's normal business days (Monday – Thursday) from application submission to permit issuance.
Establish standard hours for film activities: typically 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. for residential zones.
Establish reasonable permit fees: Clackamas County is proposing a unified permit fee schedule. In addition, If the production company enters into an MOU (memorandum of understanding) with the issuing authority to utilize local resources, services, suppliers and businesses, the production company will be eligible to receive a 20% reduction in permit fees.
Establish and post cost recovery fees for the reimbursement of city/county personnel (e.g., police, fire, traffic).
Establish a film permit requirement but waive any requirement for a business license as most film activities are temporary.
Appoint a key liaison for coordinating permits. Be sure to appoint a back-up liaison. The liaison will be required to make decisions as the community representative prior to and during filming, and should therefore have full endorsement and authority of the local jurisdiction. The liaison should be aware of any previous film production within the community and remain sensitive to local citizens' concerns.
Create a centralized filming section on your city/county website clearly listing all film regulations, permit and insurance requirements, fee schedules and liaison contact information.
Considerations to encourage filming in your community
A city or county that wishes to actively recruit filming as part of its economic development plan should also consider providing the following services or incentives to encourage filming.
Provide service and support to each production company from the initial contact to the close of the production, including problem solving on film related matters. Support should include coordination between the film company, local residents and businesses and the city/county.
Offer fee-free city/county owned properties for use as filming locations. Charge applicants for cost recovery only - review time, police, fire or security monitors.
Waive or reduce permit fees.
Provide free vacant office space and/or free parking lots.
Work with Clackamas County to maintain an on-line database by providing current photos and location information;

Spartans: Delayed or demoralized Persians?
Discussion in 'History' started by Dinosaur, Jun 1, 2017.
All the accounts I have read claim that the Spartan battle with the Persians at Thermopylae was significant due to delaying the Persian army, allowing the Greeks city states to form a combined army.
A friend claimed there was a letter from a Persian soldier which indicated that the Persians were demoralized by the thought of facing a Greek army which included circa 2000 Spartans.
Does any history buff Posting here have information relating to the above.


Until all known 1JZ, Toyota produced the straight-6 cylinder 1G engine. This motor appeared in 1979 and became popular in the domestic Japanese market. The design of the first 1G was simple. It was the cast iron cylinder block, aluminum head with one camshaft, 12 valves and hydraulic lifters. The 1G engine was equipped with a timing belt. The timing belt replacement is necessary each 60,000 miles of mileage (100,000 km), together with pulleys and oil seals. Spark plugs should be replaced every 10,000-15,000 miles of mileage (20,000 km). The firing order for the toyota 1G engines is 1-5-3-6-2-4.
Further this motor modified and became more modern. Below you will learn something new about all these modifications in 1G and their differences from each other.
Toyota 1G engine produced until 2005, despite the fact that in 1990 there was his successor 1JZ.
1. 1G-EU (1979 – 1988) – the first version 1G with SOHC cylinder head. This motor appeared on Toyota Crown. It had a compression ratio 8.8, its power 125 HP at 5400 rpm, a torque 160 Nm at 4400 rpm. Since 1983 produced version with increased compression ratio to 9.2. Its power was 130 HP. In 1986 power decreased to 105 horsepower at 5400 rpm, a torque 146 Nm at 4400 rpm.
These engines put on: Toyota Chaser X60, Cresta X50/X60/X70, Crown S110, Mark 2 X60, Soarer Z10/Z20.
2. 1G-GEU (1983 – 1988) – analog 1G-EU, but instead of SOHC cylinder head was used new Yamaha DOHC head with 24 valves. Also on this motor installed variable intake system T-VIS. All these increased engine power to 160 HP at 6400 rpm, a torque 186 Nm at 5200 rpm. Since 1985 power 1G-GEU decreased to 140 horsepower. This engine put in the following cars: Toyota Chaser X70, Mark 2 X60/X70 Cresta X60/X70, S120 Crown, Soarer Z10/Z20, Toyota Supra A70.
3. 1G-GTEU (1986 – 1988) – twin turbo version 1G-GEU. The compression ratio lowered to 8.5 and installed two CT12 turbochargers. Maximum stock boost was 7 psi (0.5 bar). Power 1G-GTEU was equal 185 horsepower at 6200 rpm, a torque 245 Nm at 3200 rpm.
Cars with 1G-GTEU: Toyota Chaser X70, Mark 2 X70, Cresta X70, Soarer Z20, Toyota Supra A70.
4. 1G-GZEU/GZE (1986 – 1992) – supercharged version 1G-GEU. In contrast to the 1G-GTEU, 1G-GZEU used SC-14 supercharger. At the same time used electronic ignition and new pistons. The compression ratio decreased to 8. Power of such motor was 160 horsepower at 6000 rpm, a torque 210 Nm at 4000 rpm. In 1989 the engine changed the name on 1G-GZE. The maximum stock boost is equal 7 psi (0.5 bar), the power 170 HP at 6000 rpm, a torque 230 Nm at 3600 rpm.
1G-GZE put on such cars as Toyota Chaser X80, Mark 2 X80, Cresta X80, Crown S130 and Soarer Z20.
5. 1G-GE (1988 – 1993) – further development 1G-GEU. The MAP sensor used with the 1GGE engine. Power decreased to 150 horsepower at 6200 rpm, a torque 186 Nm at 5400 rpm.
1G-GE put on the following cars: Toyota Chaser X80, Mark 2 X80, Cresta X80, Crown S130, Soarer Z20, Supra A70.
6. 1G-GTE (1988 – 1991) – analog 1G-GTEU. Reinforced the crankshaft, changed intake system, intercooler, used injectors 315 cc/min and new ECU. The maximum stock boost increased to 11 psi (0.75 bar). Engine power 210 HP at 6200 rpm, a torque 275 Nm at 3800 rpm. Such motors used on the same cars as 1G-GE, except Toyota Crown.
7. 1G-FE (1988 – 2005) – analog 1G-GEU, but here used other (narrow) DOHC 24 valve cylinder head. 1G-FE replaced 1G-EU. Power 135 HP at 5600 rpm, a torque 176 Nm at 4400 rpm.
Cars with 1G-FE : Toyota Mark 2 X90, Cresta X80/X90, Crown S140, Soarer Z20.
In 1996 there was the second modification 1G-FE, its power increased to 140 horsepower at 5750 rpm, a torque 185 Nm at 4400 rpm. This engine put on: Toyota Chaser X100, Mark 2 X100, Cresta X100, Crown S150.
In 1998 there was the 3rd generation 1G-FE BEAMS. In this engine used new pistons, connecting rods, added variable valve timing system on intake camshaft (VVTi), variable intake system ACIS, electronic throttle body. Changed the ignition system and used new exhaust manifold. 1G-FE wasn't equipped with hydraulic lifters so every 10,000-15,000 miles of mileage (20,000 km) you had to adjust the valves. The clearances of the valves on 1G-FE (the cold engine): inlet 0.15-0.25 mm, exhaust 0.25-0.35 mm. Similarly, regulated valves on the 1G-GE/GTE/GZE/GEU/GTEU. The specs of 1G BEAMS: the compression ratio increased to 10, power 160 HP at 6200 rpm and a torque 200 Nm at 4400 rpm. 1G-FE BEAMS put on: Toyota Mark 2 X100/X110, Chaser X100, Crown S150/S170, Verossa, Altezza, Lexus IS 200.
1. High oil consumption on 1G. Most of all you need to change piston rings and valve stem seals. It is normal for engines of such age.
2. Oil leak. It is a problem on 1G, for its elimination it is necessary to change oil pressure sensor. It will be cheap.
3. Oil pressure 1G-FE. The problem also in oil pressure sensor. Check pressure and change the sensor.
4. Rough idle . You need to check idle control valve, throttle valve and throttle position sensor. Often the problem is somewhere here.
Besides all this, on a turbocharged versions turbochargers serve about 50,000-60,000 miles of mileage (100,000 km). Also used not too successful oil pump. You need high quality engine oil using such motors. 1G BEAMS versions are less reliable, than naturally aspirated 1G and at breakage of timing belt this motor will bend valves. Control the condition of the timing belt and choose a good engine oil for 1G-FE. In general, despite some disadvantages, 1G very reliable engine with a high lifespan. But time goes and today even the newest 1G-FE is quite old and worn-out. With these engines, can happen anywhere, anytime.
The location of the engine number indicated on the picture.
Buying the 2JZ-GTE is the right decision, if you want to upgrade your 1G engine. Replacing 1G-FE or 1G-GE on 2JZ or 1JZ is a good way to get the powerful engine with a huge stock for tuning without decrease in lifespan. At worst you can buy 1G-GTE and make swap. Engine performance tuning 1G-FE/GE is useless occupation, you will lay out money for nothing.
To upgrade the 1G-GTE you should buy the following performance parts: boost controller, front intercooler, blow-off, fuel pump Walbro 255, cat-back exhaust system, Mines ECU (or other). Max boost will increase till 15-17 psi (1-1.2 bar) and you get 280-300 horsepower on a stock pistons and stock turbochargers. You need to change stock internals for getting high results. You will need to buy single turbo kit (Garrett GT28 or GT30), forged pistons, head gasket, to make head porting, etc. Expensively and difficult, just buy 2JZ-GTE for swap.
