Friday evening, October 28, I attended a concert at St. John's Episcopal Cathedral on 14th Avenue and Washington Street. This is one concert that I had been looking forward to, for it was a joint venture between two very exciting music organizations in the state, if not the entire Rocky Mountain region. It was a combined concert between the Ars Nova Singers, conducted by Thomas Edward Morgan, and the Boulder Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Bahman Saless. The main event of this concert was the Mozart Requiem, which as everyone knows, is one of the Requiem Masses of all time. The Mozart Requiem was sung after the intermission, but before the intermission were two absolute gems: the Concerto for Strings in D minor, RV 127, by Antonio Vivaldi, and the Cantique de Jean Racine, by Gabriel Fauré.
As Maestro Bahman Saless explained to the audience, the Vivaldi and Fauré are miniatures, and were chosen because they are small pieces, and would give enough time for the Mozart Requiem to be performed after the intermission.
I referred to the Vivaldi, above, as a gem, and believe me, it is. I will quote from the excellent program notes:
"Of the literally hundreds of concertos that Vivaldi wrote, approximately forty are for the entire string orchestra rather than for any particular solo instrument. Of these so-called ripieno concertos, there are twelve collected in one manuscript that resides at the Paris Conservatoire library. Although Vivaldi was known to have French patrons, most notably the French ambassador to Venice, the genesis of this collection and its connection to Paris remain unclear.
"… Its three brief movements follow the standard Italianate Concerto format of fast-slow-fast, with lively, repetitive figuration in the outer movements and a small moment of rhapsodizing for the first violin in between. What continues to amaze is Vivaldi's ability to conjure endless variety and freshness within the briefest of forms and with the slightest of materials."
Sharp eyed readers will also note the number, RV 127, which follows the title of the piece. A couple of years ago in another article on Vivaldi, I explained the complex Vivaldi thematic catalogue system. I will quote from my previous article:
"It is interesting to note the RV number. Unlike the D. numbers in Schubert, which stand for Deutsch, the musicologist who put Schubert's works in chronological order, there are six different methods in identifying Vivaldi's output. To make a long story short, Mario Rinaldi catalogued much of Vivaldi's output, but some works were not included or not yet discovered. The Danish musicologist, Peter Ryom began his own catalog of Vivaldi's works and also included a Concordance with Rinaldi's catalog. Ryom suggests using RV, wherein the V stands for the German word Verzeichnis or catalogue (not Vivaldi as many suspect) and R can refer to either the Italian publisher Ricordi or to Rinaldi. I pray that you readers will trust me on the following comment, and that is: once the difference between all of the Rs is established then one can continue to the Pincherle Catalog, the Fanna Numbers, or the Malipiero Organization. There is enough information here for a doctoral dissertation."
The best word that describes the performance of this Vivaldi Concerto is scintillating. The remarkable musicians of the Boulder Chamber Orchestra immersed this work in shimmering light. Maestro Saless found the perfect tempo, and the strings executed the ornamentation, mordents and appoggiaturas, with graceful precision. As a matter of fact, I was quite struck by the superior performance by the concertmaster, Annamaria Karacson, and the entire violin section. But truly, that speaks to the ability of this chamber orchestra: when one performs Vivaldi, the strings have to be accomplished, and everyone in this chamber orchestra is. I wish there was more space in this article, and I would name them all. This was a memorable performance.
When Gabriel Fauré (1845 to 1924) was a young boy in Arlège, France, Henry David Thoreau was in the process of writing Walden. When he died, in 1924, World War I had finally ended a few years earlier, and left a devastated Europe behind. Igor Stravinsky had written The Right of Spring. Fauré spent much of his youth playing the harmonium in a chapel which was next to his father's school. He became one of the most progressive figures in Europe after studying at the illustrious École Niedermeyer in Paris. Camille Saint-Saëns joined the school as a faculty member in 1861, and Fauré continued his studies with him. The composition heard Friday evening, the Cantique de Jean Racine, was originally written for choir and organ, but in 1905, Fauré orchestrated the organ part for chamber orchestra. It was this version which was sung on Friday evening's program. Fauré won first prize in 1865 for this composition.
This work was conducted by Maestro Bahman Saless, but Maestro Thomas Morgan, of course, prepared the Ars Nova Singers. And I would like to point out, that Mr. Morgan sang in the choir for this performance. And what a beautiful performance it was! Right away, I noticed that 1) I could understand what the choir was singing because their diction was excellent, and 2) from where I was sitting, the acoustics in St. John's Cathedral were perfect. I will say that there was a very large audience, so I am sure that affected the acoustics. The result, whether due to the large audience or not, was a splendid performance where the orchestra never overpowered the choir, nor did the choir ever overpower the orchestra. This has to be one of Fauré's most serene compositions. The music encompasses Racine's three stanza prayer, "Word of God, one with the most high… Pour on us the fire of thy mighty grace." Again, the word I used in the first paragraph of this article, "scintillating," comes to mind. The balance between the orchestra and the choir was perfect, and Fauré's harmonies never grow old. Maestro Saless gently exposed the phrasing in this tiny masterpiece, and made the hearing of this work absolutely sublime.
Following the intermission, the Boulder Chamber Orchestra and the Ars Nova Singers performed Mozart's Requiem Mass. As most everyone is aware, until recently, there was great mystery surrounding Mozart's death and the completion of this famous composition. In August of 2009, I wrote an article on the death of Mozart and the Requiem's completion. At the performance Friday evening, CU musicologist, Peter Alexander, presented a terrific pre-concert lecture on the same subject. Not only that, but in the program notes he included a wonderful chart concerning the original manuscripts of the Requiem, and a Requiem Timeline concerning details of its completion and the "fraud" surrounding the attributation of its composition. These two items in the program notes certainly gave me a new visual perspective of all of the events surrounding the Requiem. I think that everyone realizes, by now, that these events were fictionalized in the movie, "Amadeus."
This performance truly was one of the best that I have heard of the Mozart Requiem. Why? For many reasons. The soloists, Szilvia Schranz, soprano (and daughter of the Concertmaster – amazing!), Leah Creek, mezzo, Joel Burcham, tenor, and Matthew Singer, bass, were not only all excellent, but their voices seem to be suited for this particular work, and this particular church. I could understand all four of them, because their diction was perfect, and I promise you that is not an exaggeration. In addition, as I have said before, the acoustics can sometimes be very problematical in St. John's Cathedral. But it is often such a magical place to perform, that everyone is grateful to make use of this facility. But it seemed that on Friday evening, there was no issue with the acoustics at all. Again, I point out that Maestro Thomas Morgan prepared the choir, and Maestro Saless conducted the performance. It truly seemed as though both of these gentlemen knew how to manipulate the acoustics. I say that, because when Maestro Saless indicated sharp cut-offs to the orchestra and the choir, even when the phrase endings lasted only a nano second, everybody stopped in unison (as they are supposed to do) but the effect was magical, because of the echo. And again, perhaps because the audience was so large, that echo never covered up the choir or the chamber orchestra, and it never distorted the soloist's excellent diction, nor the diction of the choir. It is been a long time since I have heard that in St. John's Cathedral, so perhaps it was a confluence of all things enchanted, but I think it had more to do with the thorough musicianship of everyone involved.
This was such a fine and well balanced performance that it is very difficult to say, for example, that the Tuba Mirum was better than the Dies Irae, or that the Tenor was better than the Soprano. The entire performance was full of emotion, but never went beyond the style of Mozart. Everything was crystal clear, and the soloists were an equal part of the performance, never overshadowing it, and never timorous.
I must say that I was looking forward for a long time to this concert, because Saless and Morgan are two outstanding musicians. I did not exaggerate above when I said this was one of the best performances of the Mozart Requiem that I have heard. Perhaps due to the surroundings, it had a very intimate feel, but the choir, the orchestra, and the soloists all gave the impression that they were performing for just a select few. It was so very clean and clear that every note (from everyone) could be heard.
The standing ovation was very well deserved, and judging by the look on the faces of all the performers, it was clear they had given their best and found it very rewarding, as did the audience.

This magnesium glycinate made no difference to pain. Five active with magnesium glycerinate and malic acid really helped. I thought this would be similar but it isn't at all. Will go back to fibroactive.

Didn't help, and made me lackadaisical
Posted by GZeolla on Apr 19, 2015
I was hoping this sup would help me to sleep better at night; it didn't. But what it did do is make me feel lackadaisical during the day, thus making it difficult to get psyched up for my powerlifting workouts. But when I stopped it, I was able to start working out at a high intensity again.

Great Tonic for Adrenal Fatigue
Posted by HealthandWellness on Jan 14, 2014
This product works great and in good combination of herbs that boosts the immune system and a great tonic for the adrenals. Also great as a pre-workout supplement. Like it that this product is in concentrated form and this company doesn't use fillers and flow agent in their supplements. Update: I'm on my third bottle but this time the capsules' content seemed to clump together. I think some mositure had seeped intot the cellulose capsules. I think that's the "downside" of not having fillers and excipient (magnesium stearate), which to me it's fine. I just cut open and dissolve it in hot water (hot water activates the herbs anyway) and drink it. It's bitter but bearable.
Posted by Reviewer3140136 on Aug 27, 2010
This is a good mix, so good it brought about a real 'toxic flushing' of the body. Kind of good, kind of annoying, but happy to keep with the intake and roll with the toxic release until its all gone. Got through the whole of winter in Oz without the flu even though we were around people who were very ill. Still feeling good now! :)

Skip to comments.Woman Charged With Killing NY Firefighters
Posted on 12/28/2012 12:38:55 PM PST by redreno
WEBSTER, N.Y. (AP) - Police say a 24-year-old woman has been charged in connection with the ambush slaying of two volunteer firefighters responding to a house fire in upstate New York.
(Excerpt) Read more at kolotv.com ...
What did she do?
Hang on... last time I checked this story the shooter was a 60-year old guy who also killed himself.
What did she do?
Based on a quick read, looks like she supplied the weapon to the 60 year old shooter.
Seems she bought the weapons that were used to kill the two firemen.
Not based on anything more than a hunch, but i bet she was a straw purchaser for his guns. He was a convicted violent felon and wouldn't pass instant check.
Police say a 24-year-old woman has been charged in connection with the ambush slaying of two volunteer firefighters responding to a house fire in upstate New York.
New York State Police Senior Investigator James Newell says Dawn Nguyen, of Rochester, faces a state charge of filing a falsified business record.
He says the charge is connected to the purchase of an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun that William Spengler had with him Monday when firefighters Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka were gunned down. Three other people were wounded before the 62-year-old Spengler killed himself.
Female asian Holder wannabe.
but did she do something illegal?
What she did carries at least 10 years federal time. But just watch, the left will be making excuses for her, poor little vietnamese woman, didn't understand, not her fault, etc etc. She'll get off with a slap on the wrist.
They will skirt right around real federal firearms violations like hers, and focus only on law abiding gun owners.
If a straw purchase, I would charge her with murder.
Likely she's Korean, or at least that background. Known lots of "knew whens" in my day.
This is weird. Want to know if she was a shill or a dupe.
Nguyen is Vietnamese.
The link says there is a press conference scheduled for 4 pm today (Fri 12/28).
Yes, she did. If you represent yourself as the buyer, but you are actually buying them for someone else, thats a crime.
Things that can demonstrate that, are things like proof that she knew of his criminial background and that he could not pass a background check. Evidence that he provided the money for the guns. (ie,,say he let her use his credit card at the gun store)
Evidence from his computer, say he sent her an email naming the exact models to buy for him and that he will pay her cash plus a fee when she delivers them.
Say there are phone records where she sent him a text message saying "i got the guns you wanted, meet me at your place at 2pm".
Maybe some agent knocked on her door and asked about the rifle she bought. And she answered that she only bought it for her neighbor but never meant it to be hers.
There are many ways a straw purchaser can screw themselves.
Never underestimate brazen stupidity.
If these were the days of real justice via lynching and she is guilty of furnishing him ANY weapons, I'll buy the rope.
We have lots of Nguyens down here in La. Pound for pound they are tough people. They also dominate the advanced classes at the local Schools.
Hey Feinstein, tell me again how here having to register these purchases would have stopped the bastard whom murdered the firefighters and should have been executed years ago have stopped him.
True... can't go back....But why was he ever released. That's where the problem lies...I think Relin was the DA back then.
Viets around here pronounce it "Win".
We left Vietnam 37 years ago. She's as 'merkun as Mom's apple pie or H. Rapp Brown's carbine.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Have you considered reading the article?
Well, the serno would have been traced back to her right off the bat, so she's got some serious splainin to do.
State Police Senior Investigator James Newell says the charges are connected to the purchase of an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun that William Spengler had with him Monday when firefighters Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka were gunned down.
Have you considered reading the article?
I love it. Post after post asking the nature of her involvement when one click would have brought up the story of why. Just amazing. Some people are beyond "lazy."
Nah. The left doesn't cotton much to Asians. Too resourceful, too hard-working, too intelligent, and too successful. They'll happily hang her.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Obama won big with Asians.
If it was a straw purchase, she should be charged.
Easy. If all guns were banned, criminals would have no access to guns and would be peaceful - or at least would have to work hard to figure out something else to kill with!
A good example is how well that has worked in Mexico where nobody is allowed to own a gun. There is almost no crime, and criminals are a sedate lot, and...
Oh, wait a minute, never mind...
Can anyone explain why this woman would be anywhere near - let alone purchase a gun for - that frightening geezer who killed his grandmother with a hammer? The stupidity is unbelievable.
According to court papers, Nguyen, 24, and Spengler, 62, went to Gander Mountain in Henrietta on June 6, 2010. There, Nguyen allegedly acted as a "straw purchaser," claiming that she was going to be the owner of the two weapons on the firearm transaction record, but, instead, giving them to Spengler, according U.S. Attorney William J. Hocul.
Yes, I believe he did. But the left ignores them anyway.
As I said, they are too smart and too hard-working to be of any interest to liberals. That the Asians vote for them is disappointing to say the least.

David Price Compton—Stanstead, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House and all Canadians that October is National Flu Awareness Month.
Every winter almost one-quarter of Canadians are infected with influenza. Thousands become seriously ill and thousands more die from flu related complications.
Anyone who wants to improve his or her chances of having a flu free winter can benefit from the annual flu shot. The flu shot cannot give a person the flu and side effects are minor.
At high risk are seniors, adults and children with chronic diseases, and their caregivers. Without vaccination, they may face the possibility of serious or even fatal consequences should they get the flu. A yearly vaccination is the only preventive measure that has been proven to reduce mortality rate from influenza.

Mr. Speaker, I hope this does not damage his future prospects but I would like to rise today on behalf of the official opposition to pay tribute to Jim Munson.
Jim Munson joined CTV News in 1979. Previously he had worked in radio, including a stint at Broadcast News. While at CTV Mr. Munson served as London and Beijing bureau chief. We especially note his excellent coverage of the anti-communist uprising in Tiananmen Square.
I can say without fear of contradiction that Jim is highly regarded by all members of the House. He is tough but fair, scrupulously accurate, hardworking and intelligent. I have not always agreed with him but I have always respected him. I first met Jim in the early seventies when I first came to the Chamber. He is a true professional.
On behalf of the official opposition, the Canadian Alliance, I thank Jim Munson for his work all these years. We are saddened by his departure. He will be missed. We wish him all the best in the future and say bonsoir à notre ami.
National Sleep Awareness Week

Walt Lastewka St. Catharines, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform the House and all Canadians that October 22 to October 28 has been designated National Sleep Awareness Week.
Over three million Canadians suffer from sleep disorders yet many are unaware they are affected. Sleep disorders reduce the quality of life by decreasing alertness and the ability to perform effectively on a daily basis.
Sleep/Wake Disorders Canada responds to the needs of people with various sleeping disorders ranging from the most common, insomnia, to sleep apnea where breathing stops periodically throughout the night possibly inducing heart attack or stroke.
With the goal of improving the quality of life of affected individuals, Sleep/Wake Disorders Canada distributes information, encourages research and establishes local self-help groups. I ask members to join me in wishing Sleep/Wake Disorders Canada a successful public awareness week.

Mr. Speaker, this is National Block Parent Week. The Block Parent program works to prevent crime in our neighbourhoods.
The distinctive red and white Block Parent window sign in the window of a home helps out hundreds of Canadians every year. Whether children, seniors or others who are lost, frightened, or in distress, everyone benefits from the services of the Block Parent program.
The commitment of some 50,000 volunteers enhances the security and compassion of Canada's communities. It is important to acknowledge their contribution and their importance.
I wish to pay tribute to the Block Parent volunteers. Knowing they are there is most reassuring.

Mr. Speaker, I was pleased that during the last parliament the Prime Minister persuaded the provinces to make a deal on health care and the children's agenda. This was an important step forward but we must still work on strengthening the federal role in health affairs.
In the end it is only the federal government that can ensure nationwide standards. Only the federal government can make sure that all Canadians, not just some regions, get the health care and child support to which they are entitled.
Our health care system is designed to be universal, portable, comprehensive, publicly funded and publicly administered. Let us make it so.

Mr. Speaker, the policies of the government are killing rural Canada. Prairie grain producers are experiencing an income disaster. What is the government's response? It responds with programs fat with government administration and very lean on results.
The government's policies are killing rural transportation systems. The useless firearms registration law is wasting hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars while treating farmers as criminals. The Liberals with their cruelty to animals agenda have now joined the animal rights fanatics in their harassment of Canadian farmers.
Farmers need relief from the burdens of excessive government regulation, taxation and harassment. When will the government realize that the war is against terrorism and not against Canadian farmers?

Mr. Speaker, as Halloween approaches it is important for all Canadians to give a little more to ghosts and goblins wearing bright orange boxes around their necks this year.
The United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund, or UNICEF, has been helping children of the world for over 53 years. In countries around the globe UNICEF provides much needed food, money and other supplies for children and their families in the worst possible need.
In Afghanistan, for example, there are nearly five million victims of the Taliban who without assistance will become a humanitarian disaster when the cold, hard Afghanistan winter sets in.
This Halloween I would ask all Canadians to be particularly generous when neighbourhood children with UNICEF boxes knock on their doors. Ignorance and poverty breed hatred, and hatred is the true enemy in this campaign.

Mr. Speaker, this year Canada Post will celebrate its 20th anniversary. I think the Canada Post Corporation should use this opportunity to treat its rural letter couriers and suburban service providers fairly and give them the right to collective bargaining in order to obtain decent working and living conditions.
Members will agree with me that 20 years' of service in a world like ours takes loyal employees such as the rural letter couriers and suburban service providers, who have clearly not been entitled to benefits or even minimum wage.
This is why I hope Canada Post will begin its 21st year on the right foot by giving these employees the right to collective bargaining as an expression of its gratitude.
I will shortly be introducing a bill in this regard, and will be asking my colleagues to support it.

Mr. Speaker, Parliamentarians for Global Action, of which I am chair of the Canadian chapter, is an international network of parliamentarians from over 100 countries with a mandate to promote a broad human security agenda.
Parliamentarians for Global Action adopted a resolution on the terrorist attacks of September 11 pledging the support of its members for the international effort to combat terrorism including, first, calling on all governments to join the United States in identifying and bringing to justice the perpetrators of this crime against humanity; second, developing a co-ordinated strategy to halt international terrorism, including targeted sanctions, the freezing of financial and other assets and the selective and legal use of force; and, third, urging all people to refrain from attributing guilt by association and retaliating against any ethnic, national or religious groups and their communities and to maintain their commitment to dialogue, understanding and the preservation of an open and tolerant society.
In a word, PGA regards the raison d'être of anti-terrorism law and policy as protective of human security, including both national security and civil liberties, and as involving a multilayered and multilateral diplomatic, legal, political and economic effort to underpin it.

Mr. Speaker, this year marks the 70th anniversary of Canadians proudly wearing poppies. Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae immortalized the poppy in his famous poem In Flanders Fields . The poppy symbolizes the sacrifices that have been made so that we can enjoy our freedoms today.
The Pickering Public Library Board has in my opinion insulted the Royal Canadian Legion by classifying this fraternal service body as a charity. This year, 2001, is the 75th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Legion and the 70th anniversary of the poppy. Every public establishment in Canada should consider it an honour to participate in the sale of poppies.

I hope it's ok to post a couple of pics. If it's too many, please let me know.
Behold, Hagi SO12-#7
The unboxing...
The shape is beautiful and feels great in your hands. Also, the cup is quite a bit heavier than I expected, which is a pleasant surprise to me.
Inside. Just "bubbles", not "holes" here (except one tiny "crater")
So now, it's taking a bath.

CAE, Cebu Pacific Air Open Training Center in Philippines
CAE and Philippines' national carrier Cebu Pacific Air have inaugurated their new aviation training center in the Clark Freeport Zone, near Manila.
The Philippine Academy for Aviation Training (PAAT) is part of a joint venture between the two companies, and will be initially dedicated to providing training for Airbus A319/320/321 series pilot type-rating. The academy will provide "wet" instructor-led type-rating training to current and new-hire pilots at Cebu Pacific.
CAE said the academy currently has one A320 full-flight simulator, and has enough room to accommodate for two additional full-flight simulators with the capacity to train about 2,500 pilots each year.
"This is the first CAE aviation training center in the Philippines, and we are very proud of this joint venture. It will be essential in meeting the training requirements not only of our growing number of aviation professionals at Cebu Pacific Air, but also of other aircraft operators in the region," said Lance Gokongwel, president and CEO at Cebu Pacific Air.
The airline is scheduled to take delivery of a total of 50 new Airbus planes through 2021.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (May 31, 2007)
- Although they aren't exactly "home" contests, the U.S. Men's Volleyball Team knows how important it is to win its matches in the United States.
After splitting its first two matches with France on May 26-27 in Portland, Ore., the U.S. Men, who are based in Anaheim, Calif., will travel to the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wis., for its second set of FIVB World League matches on June 1-2. Both matches are scheduled for 7 p.m. CDT.
Time will tell if the United States is playing a Japanese team that is very different from the team it faced in Minneapolis for the 2006 World League.
Team USA played the Japanese men four times in a row last year, winning all four matches and dropping only one set along the way. By the end of the two weekends, the U.S. Men led their pool. However, Poland and Serbia & Montenegro caught up with the U.S. Men and they ended up finishing third, while Japan, which won only one pool match, against Serbia & Montenegro, finished fourth.
But that doesn't mean that Team USA can expect an easy time of it when they face the 10th-ranked Japanese men on June 1-2 at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wis. Japan went on to finish eighth at the 2006 FIVB World Championships, which was held in Japan. The U.S. Men finished 10th, although the two teams never played each other.
"We can't afford to take anyone lightly," said U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon. "Japan has shown a lot of improvement since last year."
Overall, the U.S. Men's record against Japan is 131-59.
This will be Japan's first set of World League matches. Japan will play Italy on July 6 and 8, when none of the other World League teams will play.
The U.S. team only made one change from Portland, bringing Brook Billings to play opposite instead of Dave McKienzie.
After the first weekend of play, Gabe Gardner and Reid Priddy of the United States are leading all World League scorers. Each had 38 points. Priddy is also third on the list of servers with five aces and third on the list of receivers with an efficiency percentage of 64.41.
All U.S. matches and the World League finals are scheduled to be shown on ESPNU.
The U.S. World League home matches are presented by GL7, the Official Sports Drink of USA Volleyball.

- Adapting Methods to Novel Tasks in Proof Planning ? (1999)
- In this paper we generalize the notion of method for proofplanning. While we adopt the general structure of methods introducedby Alan Bundy, we make an essential advancement in that we strictlyseparate the declarative knowledge from the procedural knowledge. Thischange of paradigm not only leads to representations easier to under-stand, it also enables modeling the important activity of formulatingmeta-methods, that is, operators that adapt the declarative part of exist-ing methods to suit novel situations. Thus this change of representationleads to a considerably strengthened planning mechanism.After presenting our declarative approach towards methods we describethe basic proof planning process with these. Then we define the notion ofmeta-method, provide an overview of practical examples and illustratehow meta-methods can be integrated into the planning process.
- A Tableau Calculus for Partial Functions (1999)
- Even though it is not very often admitted, partial functionsdo play a significant role in many practical applications of deduction sys-tems. Kleene has already given a semantic account of partial functionsusing a three-valued logic decades ago, but there has not been a satisfact-ory mechanization. Recent years have seen a thorough investigation ofthe framework of many-valued truth-functional logics. However, strongKleene logic, where quantification is restricted and therefore not truth-functional, does not fit the framework directly. We solve this problemby applying recent methods from sorted logics. This paper presents atableau calculus that combines the proper treatment of partial functionswith the efficiency of sorted calculi.
- A Resolution Calculus for Presuppositions (1999)
- The semantics of everyday language and the semanticsof its naive translation into classical first-order language consider-ably differ. An important discrepancy that is addressed in this paperis about the implicit assumption what exists. For instance, in thecase of universal quantification natural language uses restrictions andpresupposes that these restrictions are non-empty, while in classi-cal logic it is only assumed that the whole universe is non-empty.On the other hand, all constants mentioned in classical logic arepresupposed to exist, while it makes no problems to speak about hy-pothetical objects in everyday language. These problems have beendiscussed in philosophical logic and some adequate many-valuedlogics were developed to model these phenomena much better thanclassical first-order logic can do. An adequate calculus, however, hasnot yet been given. Recent years have seen a thorough investigationof the framework of many-valued truth-functional logics. UnfortuADnately, restricted quantifications are not truth-functional, hence theydo not fit the framework directly. We solve this problem by applyingrecent methods from sorted logics.
- Unification in a Sorted (lambda)-Calculus with Term Declarations and Function Sorts (1994)
- The introduction of sorts to first-order automated deduc-tion has brought greater conciseness of representation and a considerablegain in efficiency by reducing search spaces. This suggests that sort in-formation can be employed in higher-order theorem proving with similarresults. This paper develops a sorted (lambda)-calculus suitable for automatictheorem proving applications. It extends the simply typed (lambda)-calculus by ahigher-order sort concept that includes term declarations and functionalbase sorts. The term declaration mechanism studied here is powerfulenough to subsume subsorting as a derived notion and therefore gives ajustification for the special form of subsort inference. We present a set oftransformations for sorted (pre-) unification and prove the nondetermin-istic completeness of the algorithm induced by these transformations.
- Higher-Order Tableaux (1999)
- Even though higher-order calculi for automated theorem prov-ing are rather old, tableau calculi have not been investigated yet. Thispaper presents two free variable tableau calculi for higher-order logicthat use higher-order unification as the key inference procedure. Thesecalculi differ in the treatment of the substitutional properties of equival-ences. The first calculus is equivalent in deductive power to the machine-oriented higher-order refutation calculi known from the literature, whereasthe second is complete with respect to Henkin's general models.
- Unification in an Extensional Lambda Calculus with Ordered Function Sorts and Constant Overloading (1999)
- We develop an order-sorted higher-order calculus suitable forautomatic theorem proving applications by extending the extensional simplytyped lambda calculus with a higher-order ordered sort concept and constantoverloading. Huet's well-known techniques for unifying simply typed lambdaterms are generalized to arrive at a complete transformation-based unificationalgorithm for this sorted calculus. Consideration of an order-sorted logicwith functional base sorts and arbitrary term declarations was originallyproposed by the second author in a 1991 paper; we give here a correctedcalculus which supports constant rather than arbitrary term declarations, aswell as a corrected unification algorithm, and prove in this setting resultscorresponding to those claimed there.
- Die Beweisentwicklungsumgebung Omega-MKRK (1999)
- Die Beweisentwicklungsumgebung Omega-Mkrp soll Mathematiker bei einer ihrer Haupttätigkeiten, nämlich dem Beweisen mathematischer Theoreme unterstützen. Diese Unterstützung muß so komfortabel sein, daß die Beweise mit vertretbarem Aufwand formal durchgeführt werden können und daß die Korrektheit der so erzeugten Beweise durch das System sichergestellt wird. Ein solches System wird sich nur dann wirklich durchsetzen, wenn die rechnergestützte Suche nach formalen Beweisen weniger aufwendig und leichter ist, als ohne das System. Um dies zu erreichen, ergeben sich verschiedene Anforderungen an eine solche Entwicklungsumgebung, die wir im einzelnen beschreiben. Diese betreffen insbesondere die Ausdruckskraft der verwendeten Objektsprache, die Möglichkeit, abstrakt über Beweispläne zu reden, die am Menschen orientierte Präsentation der gefundenen Beweise, aber auch die effiziente Unterstützung beim Füllen von Beweislücken. Das im folgenden vorgestellte Omega-Mkrp-System ist eine Synthese der Ansätze des vollautomatischen, des interaktiven und des planbasierten Beweisens und versucht erstmalig die Ergebnisse dieser drei Forschungsrichtungen in einem System zu vereinigen. Dieser Artikel soll eine Übersicht über unsere Arbeit an diesem System geben.
- Guaranteeing Correctness through the Communication of Checkable Proofs(or: Would You Really Trust an Automated Reasoning System?) (1999)
- Mechanising Partiality without Re-Implementation (1999)
- Even though it is not very often admitted, partial functionsdo play a significant role in many practical applications of deduction sys-tems. Kleene has already given a semantic account of partial functionsusing a three-valued logic decades ago. This approach allows rejectingcertain unwanted formulae as faulty, which the simpler two-valued onesaccept. We have developed resolution and tableau calculi for automatedtheorem proving that take the restrictions of the three-valued logic intoaccount, which however have the severe drawback that existing theo-rem provers cannot directly be adapted to the technique. Even recentlyimplemented calculi for many-valued logics are not well-suited, since inthose the quantification does not exclude the undefined element. In thiswork we show, that it is possible to enhance a two-valued theorem proverby a simple strategy so that it can be used to generate proofs for the the-orems of the three-valued setting. By this we are able to use an existingtheorem prover for a large fragment of the language.

My Top 10 MAC Eyeshadows
Today's post was requested by Water BB on twitter. I'll be featuring my Top 10 MAC Eyeshadows. I'm surprised I've never done this post before. It was pretty popular for a while on twitter. I picked my favorite shadows - the regular ones in the pan or pot. None of the mineralized trios, metal, fancy stuff - the good old pressed classics.
Click here to see more!
It was really hard to narrow it down, but here are my favorites - it's a mix of neutrals and brights. Some of them are colors I need in my kit and makeup bag on a daily basis, and the others are just too pretty not to write down. You may notice that I tend to favor warm toned shadows. I tried to stick with permanent colors but some limited edition/pro colors snuck in. All of these shadows perform remarkably well - super pigmented and easy to apply.
My Top 10 MAC Shadows I Can't Live Without:
1) Rice Paper (yellow champagne color - amazing highlight color)
2) Carbon (blackest black - smokey eyes, setting liner - it never fails)
3) Cork (the perfect light brown to fill in my eyebrows)
4) Aquadisiac (buttery aqua, will never go out of style, classic, amazing for that bright pop of color)
5) Glamour Check (sadly it's limited edition, but it's probably my favorite warm brown eyeshadow, great for the outer v)
6) All That Glitters (Didn't discover this till later in life but wow, what a beautiful neutral lid color, love it for brides)
7) Stars N Rockets (This colors is just too pretty, an irridescent pinky purply blue)
8) Atlantic Blue (One of the most pigmented, pretty blues ever - never seen a similar color - it's a pro shadow)
9) Warm Brown or Texture (I'm using both of these interchangeably because they're both warm browns that can be used as a crease transition color - a must-have for a pro shadow look)
10) Woodwinked (This is such a pretty bridal color, the gold flecked brown has been a staple in my kit for a long time)
I'm totally cheating, but I also went to the shadows on the MAC website and picked my other favorite colors. These are not top ten but I use them a lot or just love the color.
Contrast, Beautiful Iris, Shroom, Embark, Freshwater, Deep Truth, Blanc Type, Gesso, Expensive Pink, Passionate, Shadowy Lady, Mythology, Rule, Naked Lunch, Amber Lights, Bronze, Humid, Bamboo, Coppering, Swiss Chocolate, Brown Down, Espresso, Print, Contrast, Vibrant Grape, Fig 1, Scene, Typographic
Hope this was helpful or interesting to some of you all. I may extend this series into other MAC products. I'm not saying MAC is the best brand out there, but it's the first brand that I fell in love with and I got to know the products really well. Let me know if you'd like that in the comments below. Ciao Bellas!

The Future of Trail-Running Gear - Page 3
Trend 2: Athlete-Driven Design
Across the board, companies are inviting athletes to be a part of the design process. At our meeting with Patagonia, a solid contingent from the Ambassador team joined in to share their roles in developing Patagonia's Spring '14 line of trail runners. Jeff Browning, in particular, has been involved at every step of the way in creation of Patagonia's brand new, road-inspired, 4mm-drop EVERlong trail-running shoe (available mid-November this year).
From left to right: Patagonia Ambassadors Jeff Browning, Krissy Moehl and Luke Nelson
Before our meeting, Luke Nelson had done his first test run in the EVERlong, taking it up and down the nearby Mount Olympus (9026 feet) in the Wasatch Range. He reported back on how secure his feet felt in it, especially on the descent.
Over at Ultimate Direction (UD), another pioneer in athlete-driven product design (including a line of signature hydration vests from Scott Jurek, Anton Krupicka and Peter Bakwin), Jenny Jurek and a team of women athletes have been working on a special line of women-specific packs, available January 2014.

The contest runs from November 17, 2009 through January 12, 2010.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State launched the ExchangesConnect social network in October 2008 to promote mutual international understanding by highlighting cultures, commonalities, and exchange program experiences through user-generated content like forums, blogs, photos, and videos. Over 14,200 members are currently part of this thriving global community.
The ExchangesConnect community and an expert panel of judges will select the top 40 videos based on originality, creativity, effectiveness, and production quality. The expert panel of contest judges, all alumni of ECA exchange programs, includes:
• Jay Craven, United States, Independent Filmmaker, U.S. Cultural Envoy, and AFI 20/20 Global Cultural Exchange Program alumnus
• Vassilios Karamitsanis, Greece, President of Platforma International Film Festival and Urban Cultural Company, and International Visitor Leadership Program alumnus
• Josef Frank Madisia, Namibia, Director of the National Art Gallery of Namibia, and International Visitor Leadership Program alumnus

Replying to Structuring Shopping Experience
Topic Summary
Elise Alley
Posted 13 November 2014 - 02:34 PM
If you go into the settings for the Guest Checkout add-on (Exchange > Add-ons > Guest Checkout), you can set it so that Guest Checkout is the default option given when checking out. There, you can also set it so that it removes the log in and/or registration links that would show beneath the Guest Checkout.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Posted 13 November 2014 - 02:14 PM
I am posting a quick reply to say that I agree with much of what Doug (douglamunyon) says about the shopping experience.
I am creating a website for a non-profit organization that has many elderly people in it. One prime concern of the website is to keep everything simple. If I use Exchange on this website, if someone wants to give a simple donation as a guest checkout, the process is a bit daunting. First, they see a long registration form. When they scroll down that page, they see multiple buttons, including the option for guest checkout. Once they click on that, there are more buttons, and they need to provide their email and click continue. Only then do they get the chance to pay. I think this process would scare off this group's population.
Since the super widget is not very easy to customize, I am checking out WooCommerce instead. I really hoped to use Exchange, and even bought the Pro Pack. However, Exchange will not easily meet our needs, and has caused a great amount of frustration already, so I am investigating other options.
I hope to see Exchange improve as it gets older. It has great promise, but still needs to mature a bit more.
Posted 27 February 2014 - 08:57 PM
1st time I went through and submitted and it told me I forgot to enter the state, which I thought was weird but possibly my mistake
2nd time I typed much slower and watched it, and the field actually cleared itself while I was halfway through typing the word
I clicked out of the field and then back in, and then it allowed me to fill in the full word

I've reported this issue to the developers so that they can take a look at it. As soon I have an update for you, I'll let you know.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 08:00 AM
Posted 23 February 2014 - 06:17 PM
Elise Alley
Posted 17 February 2014 - 06:38 PM
I'll pass this along to the developers so they can take a look. Just to verify, when you go into any product after this happens, do you see the buttons? Or is it just on that one product you don't see them after the error? And does this happen if you leave the box empty on any product or just that one?
Let me know and I'll pass it along!
Posted 16 February 2014 - 03:23 PM
Billing Address
I accidentally left a field blank in the super widget billing address area. After the page refreshed telling me of my error, the automatic state selection field would no longer work and exchange keeps telling me I'm leaving something out.
I tried to start the process over, but when I got to the product page it did not show the choices for 'add to cart' and 'checkout' at all.
Posted 29 January 2014 - 08:56 PM
After I found this post about the filter to remove the 'Buy Now' button, things are coming together.
Now I am sticking with the 'Add To Cart' method and having shoppers make an account.
re: account registration page/form
When the shopper chooses to check out, the fields for registering appear. This new form area has no text explaining what is going on. Ex. Please fill out this information to register your account and complete the checkout process (or something much more poetic). I feel like shoppers need the reassurance that they are doing things right. If they choose checkout, and a bunch of form fields show up, I would anticipate some panic from low-tech users.
From the development aspect, it gets a bit challenging to try to mold templates for specific projects when there are so many 'moving parts'. For instance, if I want to modify things in the registration area, do I go to the template file, an element, or one of the loops? That is twelve php files that make up one form. But wait. I want to separate the register and log in buttons and add some text in that area. I can't find that part in any of those twelve files so that I can customize it.
Billing Address
I left a field blank in the super widget billing address area. After the page refreshed telling me of my error, the automatic state selection field would no longer work.
Checkout Page
It appears the checkout page template somehow pulls in the Stripe checkout button. I feel like the shopper needs some text in this area to let them know that the window that opens up is a secure connection. I realize it is in the shaded area on the outside of the credit card information. It just seems like being proactive with communicating regarding security is important. While on the subject, where would I find the template to customize what the Stripe window looks like?
Thanks again,
Elise Alley
Posted 28 January 2014 - 01:16 PM
Hopefully I can clear up any confusion you're having, though I'm not quite sure where the confusion lies. The Exchange checkout process is very similar to any other you'd encounter. It just remains on the product page (unless the customer chooses to View Cart). You said you had testers that were confused; can you tell us specifically what confused them? And you can always customize the purchase buttons and pages to better suit your needs.
1. Shopper is looking at product page and expects 'Add To Cart' button.
There is an Add to Cart option, you just need to go into Exchange > Add-ons and enable the Multi-item Cart add-on. Then they'll see both the Buy Now and Add to Cart buttons and have the option to buy the item immediately or add it to their cart and continue shopping.
2. After 'Add To Cart', shopper is directed to Cart page with 'Continue Shopping' or 'Check Out' options.
Once they add it to the cart, they have the option to view their cart or go ahead and purchase. This is actually pretty common. There isn't a reason to be take to the cart page unless you plan on purchasing immediately. If you're going to continue shopping, it's just one more page you have to back out of. Take Best Buy, for example. I click the button to add an item to my cart, a window opens and I can either close that window to continue shopping or move on to view my cart. Even Wal-Mart is the same, a window is opened when I add the product to my cart, I'm not taken to a new page. Same with Target and Bed Bath and Beyond.
I'm not trying to overwhelm you with examples! I just want you to see that it's not so abnormal.
3. Before choosing 'Check Out, shopper must create account.
This is the same in Exchange. The customer clicks the button to purchase and they can either register, log in or (if you have it enabled) chose the Guest Checkout option.
4. After creating account, shopper can now 'Check Out'.
Because they've already created their account and have already hit the purchase button, they don't need to do so again. Exchange will go ahead and ask for their Billing Information.
5. After choosing 'Check Out', shopper is sent to page to collect billing address and credit card information.
See previous answer
6. After submitting billing information, shopper verifies the order and billing information and then completes the transaction.
This is the same in Exchange. Once they've entered their billing information, they'll have the opportunity to edit it prior to entering their credit card information (or going to PayPal, pay by check, etc.).
So you see that the Exchange process isn't really any different than the "typical" checkout process. Our goal is to make Exchange as user friendly as possible, both for the store owner and their customers.
There isn't an option to hide the Shipping Address if one wasn't needed/provided. If you want to remove it completely, however, you can go into /lib/templates/content-confirmation/loops/ and copy the transaction-meta.php file. In that file, you'll see the following code:
<?php foreach( it_exchange_get_template_part_elements( 'content_confirmation', 'address_meta', array( 'billing-address', 'shipping-address' ) ) as $meta ) : ?>
You'll want to remove the 'shipping-address' portion, so it looks like this:
<?php foreach( it_exchange_get_template_part_elements( 'content_confirmation', 'address_meta', array( 'billing-address' ) ) as $meta ) : ?>
Then, in your theme you'll create the directory exchange/content-confirmation/loops/ and upload the file with your changes there. Now the Shipping Address won't show on the confirmation page.
You don't have to be selling Digital Downloads to have downloads. If you are selling Memberships, there is an option to add a download file. Same with the Simple Products product type.
There is only one email receipt and sale notification email, so the emails won't vary based on product type. I can add this as a feature request, but I don't have a timeline for if/when it would be added.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1519 votes).
In short: BrilliantIn full: This year was my first GRN. I thought it was fantastic and will be back next year definately. I didn't have a problem with people being rude and pushin past, apart from the one woman that was running in the green group when she had an orange group number on, not our fault she couldn't get there on time. Everyone I pasted, and pasted me were very polite. The generousity of the spectators on route almost had me in tears. People buying ice lollies, ice pops and such like out of there own pocket was amazing. I did get a bit confused when people kept shouting my name, then realised that it was on my vest!!!!!Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: chaotic carnival atmosphere...i loved itIn full: I think that the GNR was one of the most inspiring events i have ever run, the people of the north east turned out in droves to cheer on the runners/walkers/joggers, i do understand some of the negatives if you are very competative , however if you are happy to run because you like running then this race delivers on all counts..i loved the mental start with all the oggi, oggi oggi's in the underpasses, and post race transport was excellent, the scenary was not great but the tyne bridge at the start and the view over south shield at the end was terrific. i think that i would like to do the race again next yearDate of review: September 22, 2009
In short: VERY hilly, fantastic turnout of spectators, spectacular views for the final 1.1miles and over tyne bridge!Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: Too many peopleIn full: I foolishly hoped for a PB and ended up disappointed. The course itself is OK, although pretty uninspiring along dual carriageways. Big problem was the crowds; I've never been so jostled or manhandled by such a huge number of strangers, and not a single word of apology or even acknowledgement. I certainly didn't get a feeling of the legendary atmosphere of such an event. Most people seemed pretty zoned out in their own world and impatient of others getting in their way. I saw a number of tumbles, some pretty nasty. I actually found it fairly stressful, which is something I've not experienced before in any organised race.The locals, on the other hand, were superb - setting up makeshift stalls by the side of the road, handing out water, ice pops, encouragement, oranges and hosings. All were extremely welcome in the heat. Organisation also seemed to be good, although I didn't need to use the toilets or the baggage facilities which other people have complained about.Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: An experience of a life time!In full: From; the scene of 50000+ runners at the beginning to the rainbows made by the sprinkers in the middle to the red arrows display at the end, a great day. I'll be back!Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: Great Run = Great FunIn full: I do like the atmosphere of this race. To be part of an immense group egged on by the fantastic bands and crowds is fantastic. For the third time since I started doing this race I was on the Tyne bridge as the Red Arrows roared past overhead. It makes a real festive atmosphere. This is not a PB race. You will never really find out how fast you can go as you will always find yourself hemmed in and in danger of tripping over someone or a discarded bottle but hey, just go with it and enjoy the ride. Talk to people, brush the hands of strangers and play spot the runners in fancy dress as you cruise along. Enjoy it...Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: Third time!In full: This was my third GNR and loved it! there were few minuses - lack of enough toilets! powerade not nice and bottle too big! BUPA power mile - no jelly babies. i was really looking forward to them! and one celebrity runner should not wear her name on her back if she can't take people supporting her on.i ran a PB despite the heat and crowds. I hope next year some people consider others when runnign past - shoving others to get passed is not polite. we are british after all. i will be back next year with bells on! (not literally!)big question still is: Sting? Why? Why? Why?Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: FANTASTICIn full: Just what I expected and more!!!!!!Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: Recommended for the buzz and atmosphere, and the course isn't too competitive either!Date of review: September 22, 2009
In short: Too crowded for a PB for meIn full: Fantastic event, fantastic atmosphere and incredible organisation. I was hoping for sub 2 hours but could never get enough space to stretch out - didn't spoil it though. Next time I'll try to start nearer the front!Date of review: September 22, 2009

text: Ben, Unless someone has modded the airbox or something unusual, your pilot jets are probably dirty. Like I said before, take them out and clean them with solvent and blow compressed air through them. There are several holes on the sides of the pilot jets as well as the hole that goes through the center. They all need to be clean. Also, take the pilot screws out (make sure you don't loose the spring or the little rubber washer) and clean that orifice with solvent and compressed air as well. With a stock airbox and exhaust and 35 pilot jets, you should be between 2 and 3 turns out from fully seated on the pilot screws. It's also still possible that you might have a couple cracked intake boots (between the carbs and the head) that are allowing extra air into the mix. By opening up the pilot screws, you are having to richen up the idle circuitry. Means it was running lean before. If the intake boots look old and cracked, replace them. Dave B ben millies wrote: > Thanks guys for all the help. I've been playing with the carbs, Ended up having to turn the pilot screws out 6 turns and this thing runs like a champ. After I put the correct plugs in it and played with the pilot screws it runs great. Any Ideas on why the pilot screws needed to be turned out so much?
