Historic Centre of Siena
Historic Centre of Siena
Siena is the embodiment of a medieval city. Its inhabitants pursued their rivalry with Florence right into the area of urban planning. Throughout the centuries, they preserved their city's Gothic appearance, acquired between the 12th and 15th centuries. During this period the work of Duccio, the Lorenzetti brothers and Simone Martini was to influence the course of Italian and, more broadly, European art. The whole city of Siena, built around the Piazza del Campo, was devised as a work of art that blends into the surrounding landscape.
Centre historique de Sienne
Sienne est l'incarnation de la ville médiévale. Transposant sur le plan urbain leur rivalité avec Florence, ses habitants ont poursuivi à travers le temps un rêve gothique et ont su conserver à leur ville l'aspect acquis entre le XIIe et le XVe siècle. À cette époque, Duccio, les frères Lorenzetti et Simone Martini traçaient les voies de l'art italien et, plus largement, européen. La ville entière, construite autour de la Piazza del Campo, a été conçue comme une œuvre d'art intégrée au paysage environnant.
الوسط التاريخي لسيينا
تجسّد مدينة سيينا مثال مدينة القرون الوسطى. فسكّانها، إذ نقلوا تنافسهم مع فلورنسا إلى الصعيد الحضري، سعوا عبر الزمن إلى تحقيق حلم قوطيّ وتمكنوا من المحافظة على الطابع الذي اكتسبته مدينتهم بين القرنين الثاني عشر والخامس عشر. في تلك الفترة، كان دوتشو والأخوان لورنزيتّي وسيموني مارتيني يرسمون خطوط الفن الإيطالي وبشكل أوسع الأوروبي. وبنيت المدينة حول البياتزا دِل كامبو وصمِّمت بكاملها كعمل فنّي مدمَجة بالمناظر المحيطة.

Исторический центр города Сиена
Сиена – это подлинное воплощение средневекового города. Его жители соперничали с Флоренцией за право быть законодателями в области градостроительства. Веками они сохраняли готический облик города, приобретенный им в период XII-XV вв. Работы Дуччо, братьев Лоренцетти и Симоне Мартини, относимые к этому периоду, оказали влияние на развитие итальянского и, в более широком смысле, европейского искусства. Весь город Сиена, выросший вокруг площади Пьяцца-дель-Кампо, является произведением искусства, прекрасно вписывающимся в окружающий ландшафт.

Centro histórico de Siena
Siena es la encarnación de la ciudad medieval por excelencia. Tras proyectar su rivalidad con Florencia en el plano urbanístico, sus habitantes persiguieron a lo largo de los siglos la realización de un "sueño gótico" y supieron conservar el aspecto que había cobrado su ciudad entre los siglos XII y XV. En esta época, Duccio, los hermanos Lorenzetti y Simone Martini trazaban los caminos del arte italiano y el europeo. El conjunto de la ciudad se edificó en torno a la Piazza del Campo y se concibió como una obra de arte fusionada con el paisaje circundante.

Historisch centrum van Siena
Siena is de belichaming van een middeleeuwse stad. De bewoners hebben hun rivaliteit met Florence zelfs doorgezet op het gebied van stedelijke planning. Door de eeuwen heen is het gotische uiterlijk behouden, verworven tussen de 12e en 15e eeuw. Tijdens deze periode beïnvloedde het werk van Duccio, de gebroeders Lorenzetti en Simone Martini de loop van de Italiaanse en Europese kunst. De hele stad Siena – gebouwd rond het Piazza del Campo – werd opgezet als een kunstwerk dat opgaat in het omringende landschap. De huizen en paleizen volgen elkaar in rijen langs de belangrijkste straten, wat een karakteristieke stedelijke ruimte creëert met opvallende elementen.

Long Description
Siena, an outstanding medieval city that has preserved its character and quality to a remarkable degree, and its influence on art, architecture and town planning in the Middle Ages, both in Italy and elsewhere in Europe, was great.
The historic centre of Siena is delimited by a 7km enceinte of ramparts (14th-16th centuries), the route of which follows the contours of the three hills on which the city is built. These walls, with their bastions and towers, are pierced by gates that are double at the strategic points, such as the Porta Camollia on the street of Florence. To the west they embrace the Fort of Santa Barbara, rebuilt by the Medici in 1560 and reconstructed in 1580. The walls themselves, which have been enlarged on several occasions, also include part of the 25 km network of galleries, the bottini, which evacuate the spring waters distributed by the public fountains. Siena doubtless benefited from the experience of the monks of the Cistercian abbey of San Galgano. The main fountains, mostly from the 13th century, are veritable buildings in their own right, constructed like Gothic porticoes.
The historic centre developed along the Y-shaped segments defined by the three main arteries that meet at the Croce del Travaglio, represented by the Piazza del Campo, and on to which the network of minor roads are grafted. Houses and palaces follow one another in rows along the main streets, creating a characteristic urban space with certain notable elements. The Piazza del Campo, sited at the junction of three hills, is one of the most remarkable urban open spaces in all Italy. Its formation coincides with the growth of the medieval city and the assertion of communal power. Financial and commercial activities were concentrated halfway along the Via Francigena, the entire lengths of the present-day Via dei Banchi Sopra and Via dei Banchi Sotto, and the market-place proper was located in the Piazza del Campo, at that time divided in two sectors.
At the end of the 12th century, the communal government decided to unite the two sectors to create a unique semicircular open space, and promulgated a series of ordinances which regulated only commercial activities but also the services and dimensions of the houses (their style twin-arched or triple-arched windows), in order to make the facades around the piazza uniform. The building of the Palazzo Pubblico, the seat of the communal government, began at the same time. Its gently incurving and crenellated facade is highlighted by the Gothic triple-arched windows. There is a number of masterpieces of medieval paintings inside, such as the Maestà of Simone Martini and the allegorical Ciclo del Buon Governo of Ambrogio Lorenzetti. The Palazzo Pubblico was in all probability the model for the Gothic palaces of the great families of the nobility or the merchants (Palazzo Tomei, Palazzo Buonsignore), which are characterized by an increase in breadth, the use of brick, large windows, and the so-called 'Guelph' crenellation.
Once the public authorities were installed in the Palazzo Pubblico, work began on embellishing the piazza with the laying down of the paving, construction of the Fonte Gaia, decorated by Jacopo dalla Quercia, the Torre del Mangia, and the Cappella della Piazza, the latter two built up against the palazzo. Under the Medici, the piazza became the ideal setting for spectacular festivals and was opened up to the palio , the famous horserace between teams from the different quarters of the city.
The highest point of the town is crowned by the Cathedral of Santa Maria. Its facade, the lower part of which is the work of Giovanni Pisano, was completed by Giovanni di Cecco after construction of the Nuovo Duomo (New Cathedral), a vast project inspired by the Gothic cathedrals of north of the Alps. The cathedral preserves a remarkable pavement and the pulpit carved by Nicolà Pisano.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description
The situation Oof Siena, between the Arsia and Elsa valleys, away from the main communication routes, does not favour the growth of a town. Nevertheless, a modest settlement, Etruscan in origin, entered history under the name of Colonia Julia Saena in 29 BC.
With the displacement of the road network joining northern Italy to Rome towards the centre of the peninsula Siena became an obligatory stopping place during the period of rule by the Lombards (568-774) and then the Franks. The development of the medieval town coincided with the route Of the Via Francigena, taken by pilgrims on their way to Rome, becoming fixed around the year 1000. On the high ground adjoining Castelvecchio, site of the ancient castrum, to the east of the original core of the medieval town, and Santa Maria, see of the bishopric created in the first half of the 5th century, grew up the villages of Camollia to the north and San Martino to the south, both later to be brought within the walls of the town. The town centre moved from its ancient nucleus towards the triventum or Croce del Travaglio, where the roads from Rome, Florence, and the Maremma met. The campo, at the crossroads of these routes, became the centre for trade and commercial activities. The town's most important families lived in veritable fortified villages, built round a central courtyard, on the model of the feudal curtis, and in part surviving (Ugurgeri, Malavolti, etc).
In 1186 the Hohenstaufen Emperor Frederic I confirmed the independence of the city and granted it the rights of electing its own consuls and minting its own coins.
The definite urban structure of Siena evolved in just over three hundred years, from the end of the 11th to the beginning of the 15th century. The internal and external struggles of this period were more or less directly linked with episodes in the contest between the Empire and the Papacy. The Republic of Siena's policy of territorial expansions invoked the envy of its rival, Ghibelline Florence. From the first half of the 12th century the two cities engaged in a series of still famous battles, such as Montaperti (1260), as a result of which the victorious Sienese placed their city under the protection of the Virgin Mary, and Colle val d'Elsa (1269), after which the Guelphs became established in Siena. The city owed its prosperity to the banking activities carried out by certain families at the papal Court in Rome and on the great international markets of northern Europe, Marseilles, Champagne, and London. The streets named dei Banchi di Sopra and dei Banchi di Sotto preserve the memory of this past prosperity. Under pressure from the merchants who dominated its political life, the city was endowed with a network of secondary streets and public and private buildings in the Gothic style. Siena enjoyed relative political stability under the Council of the Nine (1287-1355), which left an enduring imprint on the structure and appearance Of the city with, for example, the laying out of the Piazza del Campo and the construction of the Palazzo Pubblico. The Sienese school of painting manifested itself from the late 13th century in the work of its most famous representatives, Duccio di Boninsegna (1260-1318), Simone Martini (1284-1344), the Pietro brothers (fl 1305-48), and Ambrogio Lorenzetti (fl 1319-48). Siena maintained relations with Milan, Naples, and France. Simone Martini was in contact with the Angevin court in Naples and went to Avignon in 1339. Exchanges such as this involved Siena closely with the development of western art in the mid-14th century.
Between 1420 and 1555, when the Republic Of Siena came to an end, there was a succession of governments operated by merchants, interrupted by the attempt by Pandolfo Petrucci (1487-1525) to introduce a nobility and the intervention of the Emperor Charles V (1530>' The events of the city's internal political life became more closely linked with the relations between the Empire and France. In 1552 the Imperial garrison that had occupied the city for two years was driven out by the Sienese, who remained faithful to the French side. The defensive walls were strengthened, some Of the gates were reinforced, and the suburbs were razed. At the end of the siege of 1555 the city was surrendered to the Imperial forces by its defender, Blaise de Montluc. Philip II offered Siena to Cosimo I de' Medici, who merged it into his Grand Duchy of Tuscany while respecting its autonomy. The crisis that overtook its banking and commercial activities plunged the city into economic stagnation. Its efforts became concentrated on developing agricultural activities in its lands. Urban development had reached its peak before the Black Death of 1348, when the population was cut from 25,000 to 16,000 inhabitants. Projects began to reconstruct or enlarge palaces, churches, and monasteries. The prestige of Siena was restored in 1457, when its Bishop, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, was elected pope under the title Of Pius II. The Franciscan Bernardino Albizzeschi and Catherina Benincasa, the pride of the city in the 14th century, were canonized. Despite the role of the Piccolomini family in spreading Renaissance art (the Loggia del papa, the palazzo Piccolomini, the palazzo Piccolomini delle papesse), Gothic persisted in most 15th century works (Palazzo Marsili, 1458) and even later (Archbishop's palace, 1718)
After rejoining the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Siena was integrated into the Kingdom of Italy in 1849, but it was not touched by the industrial development of the 19th century. Expansion took place outside the walls and in small nuclei, often Sited on hills away from the historic centre.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

I could spend hours looking at photos of red carpet gowns and this years Oscars were no different. For me, the best dressed was Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto. She wore a gorgeous blue John Galliano gown. I also loved Penelope Cruz in her Balmain couture chiffon dress and Anne Hathaway looked stunning in Armani.
There was another stunner out on the red carpet that night, Heidi Klum. Now this girl would look beautiful in a black sack and what she wore that night proves this point. Klum wore a red gown by Roland Mouret which you can see in the picture. Although she does look gorgeous, I think this dress does nothing for her. I don't like it in the slightest but I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with me because in all the magazines, everyone is saying that the dress is fabulous! I'm sorry but I really don't see it. Is this a case of the Emporer's new clothes maybe?

There is a singing aid that has been in use for some time call the vocal harmonizer. the first time I heard someone use it I though there was a a duo on stage but it was just one guy. The way it works is that he has another vocal signal running parallel to the main one. This second signal is then set for thirds or whatever interval that the harmony would sound good. With a foot switch the harmonies can just come in on the chorus.
It the music studios these are used for lazy singers.In years gone by we would do a vocal track over and over again until we thought that parts of it weren't sharp or flat. Another way would be to do it line-by-line (awfully tedious!), punching in and out.
"You hear this device all the time on the radio. Whenever you hear ultra tight vocal harmonies that sound 'too perfect' you are listening to a harmonizer at work. "
"You hear this device all the time on the radio. Whenever you hear ultra tight vocal harmonies that sound 'too perfect' you are listening to a harmonizer at work. "
Rather than spend a half a day getting a vocal track right a vocal harmonizer can pull a voice right on the note. This way valuable recording time is not spent on redos. Or is it?

In the late 1970's studio time in Vancouver was around $150 an hour. My first record took me a year to pay off and I spent about $450 (3 hours) just getting one vocal track right. Why? Because my voice is still a work in progress as I never learned how to sing properly. Would a harmonizer have helped? Yes. Would I have used something like that at the time. Probably.
However, I can listen back to a few tracks that I still think were great. And this is because it took a lot of work and creativity. With a harmonizer the machine would have me sound good and that would be like getting someone to sing the track for me.
However, harmonizers are here to stay. But it's the producer who decides who needs it or will lavish it on vocals as a fail-safe mechanism.

Play the video above and close your eyes. I think that this song is one of the best of all time, I love it! But then I saw the video. Play the video, this time with your eyes open. I think the video really brings the song down! What was brilliant is now just mediocre. I hate to say it, but I take the more pessimistic view that lately, the majority of music videos are rubbish. Most music videos out now are too involved with establishing an artists' image when the primary concern should be to enhance and compliment the song.
You are more likely to hear a song before you see the music video. So if you hear a song and think it's brilliant, it is going to be so hard for the video to meet the high expectations of what you have already envisioned. This maybe a reason why music videos don't seem as good as the songs alone, but it's still no excuse.
One of my favourite songs of all time is Gym Class Heroes feat. Estelle – "Guilty As Charged". When I heard this song I was blown away. It conjured up so many images for me that I feel like I would have loved to create the music video for this song! Then when I saw the video, I felt very let down. I think the video really belittles the song and makes it come across as one big joke! For me this video kills the song.
Another example like this is Leona Lewis's version of Snow Patrol's song "Run". I love her version but I got so frustrated when I saw the video for the song. Basically it just depicts Leona Lewis prancing around in the woods in period dress. Although the video is very beautiful but I feel that it does nothing to compliment the song. It doesn't convey the depth and sincerity of the music, which is what really disappointed me.
Now all is not lost, there are a couple of very good music videos, which do enhance the song. Sarah Leonetti mentions LCD Soundsystem – "New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" in her blog (http://www.artandculture.com/feature/385)
And here are a couple I like:
Shayne Ward – No Promises Pussycat Dolls feat. Snoop Dogg – Buttons
The Shayne Ward video is a real tearjerker just like the song and the Pussycat Dolls video just makes you want to get up and shake your ass!! Both songs and videos go together perfectly. Love 'em!
I have never been to it but I think the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is probably the coolest institution ever. I have so much respect for every single artist/band inducted onto that famous list. It is not only the coolest, but it is the most prestigious list for any musician to get onto. To say you have been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame is huge! People use this title as a prefix to someone or something great. For example, fellow artandculture member Valerie Gladstone referred to the legend Booker T as "Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Booker T. Jones" (http://www.artandculture.com/feature/570) and why not?? Booker T is a legend and deserves such a prestigious title… but would you really call him a Rock 'n' Roller? Now I am a huge fan of Booker T. The man's a genius, but I'd call him a soul genius. I wouldn't really associate him with Rock 'n' Roll so much. Should he be on that list? Am I taking a mere title just bit too literally?
I decided to take a look at the list of Rock 'n' Roll inductees to see if there were any other questionable artists on the list. Without a doubt, there are some Rock 'n' Roll greats on that list all right. You have Elvis, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis… then I went further up the list and the names appeared to veer away from Rock 'n' Roll and settle into the more opaque realms of Rock. Well that's fair enough. I suppose that Rock legends have as much a right to be up there even if they don't have the added "'n'roll" to their music. I saw names like REM and Bob Dylan…Rock legends, no doubt about it. Then, however, I began to get a little bit confused. Now, I am a huge fan of Michael Jackson, The Supremes and Madonna but I would never associate them with Rock 'n' Roll. Is it just me that thinks that it's wrong for them to be on the list? Why can't they be on the Pop Hall of Fame or the Motown Hall of Fame? Do such things exist? Maybe I'm being too harsh. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Last year I interviewed Travis McCoy who is the lead singer of the amazing hip hop band Gym Class Heroes. Travis is the lead vocalist with the band. They have had huge hits with "Cupid's Chokehold", "Clothes Off" and "Cookie Jar". Travis also features on the Kelly Rowland hit, "Daylight". So he has done pretty well for himself!
Gym Class Heroes played the Academy in Dublin on September 15th last year and I got a few minutes with Travis backstage before the gig. We had a great chat! He was telling me all about making their current album "The Quilt", he talked about Estelle, Pink Floyd, Daryl Hall, the Arctic Monkeys and I was very privileged to be let in on a little secret about the next single! Plus, find out why Travis would never go near sampling again after releasing Cupid's Chokehold which uses samples from Supertramp's "Breakfast in America".

Sure, the little hand-held delicacies might scream 2005 to some, but they've never stopped being epically tasty. Especially in the culinary paradise that is S.F. — where chefs are perpetually whipping up inventive cakes and icings that will make you consider deviating from your go-to red velvet.
Need proof? Browse through our roundup of a dozen delectable cupcakes. Trust us, if you weren't hungry before, you will be now.

text: Ski jumping is a sport in which skiers go down a take-off ramp, jump and attempt to land as far as possible down the hill below. In addition to the length of the jump, judges give points for style. The skis used for ski jumping are wide and long (260 to 275 centimetres (100 to 108 in)). Ski jumping is predominantly a winter sport, performed on snow, and is part of the Winter Olympic Games, but can also be performed in summer on artificial surfaces – porcelain or frost rail track on the inrun,

Sunday is Father's Day.
It looks like summer is starting to set in and the temps are looking to be in the mid to high 80s, so it should be a good time to have a Father's Day BBQ.
I'm sure some folks will take the easier way out and hit their favorite restaurant or have Mom prepare a nice meal. So don't forget "dear old dad" this Sunday on his special day.
I look for the golf course to be crowded!
Friday is Flag Day — always a wonderful time to support the American flag.
The flags should be out in full force around Creston with several civic groups taking turns to put out the flags on various occasions. It's always nice to see them flying at homes around the area.
The annual Creston Relay for Life event is Friday night going until Saturday morning at the high school football field.
There was a nice rundown of all the events in a special section of Tuesday's newspaper. The surrounding community does a nice job of supporting the event.
I always try to take time to walk by all the luminaries.
The event is a nice way to honor those who are battling the disease and to those who fought the good fight.
We know someone who has had cancer and the world will be a much better place when this terrible disease is eradicated.
Great concert coming
The annual McKinley Park concert will be June 22. There is a great lineup of country singers and bands for the event.
Country seems to be real hot right now, and the local lineup will be a good mix for all who attend.
Sydney Lett is a 17-year-old from Des Moines and, besides playing Creston, will be at the Iowa State Fair singing this year.
Rebyl Road is just back from Florida and opening up for Kenny Chesney.
The Rumbley Brothers hail from the Leon and Osceola area. They have a good following from throughout the area.
Jimmie Van Zant, the headliner, has just put out a new album called "Feels Like Freedom." If you go to his site www.jimmievanzantband.org you can listen to a few tracks.
Tickets for Party in the Park are only $15 the next few days and $20 the day of the show. You can't beat that price for a country show with four super acts. There will be plenty of food and refreshments with the gates opening at 4 p.m., and the first act at 5 p.m.
Here is a chance to help out McKinley Park and have a great time doing it. The concerts at McKinley Park keep getting better every year.
Duck guys
I see the Duck Dynasty guys of A&E TV fame are getting more and more products at Walmart. They now have products in six departments and it will soon be 13!
I had a chance to see the guys in person down at Taladaga last fall. They are just as funny in person as they are on the show.
One of the Duck Commander employees is John Godwin who has a bunch of relatives here in Iowa.
I see the fourth season may be delayed because the family wants a large raise to keep doing the show. It is the top-rated show on cable TV, so I would guess they'll get their money and the fourth season will proceed.
Next time you need a bandage look for the ones that have the picture of the Duck Dynasty guys on them!
Thought for the week: True politeness is perfect ease and freedom. It simply consists in treating others just as you love to be treated yourself. — Earl of Chesterfield

Do we truly know anything?
this is a pretty straight forward question is there anything (examples wanted) that we truly understand everything about down to its smallest components?
edward long
Apr 1 2013: No. In order to know everything one must be omniscient. To be omniscient means to have awareness of every possible eventuality. That allows one to be certain that there is nothing of which one is not aware, or, to put it another way, to be sure of what cannot be known. No human can ever be sure there is not some unnknown they have failed to consider. Thus we have phrases like: "as far as we know"; "according to available data"; or "logic dictates that. . . "Apr 4 2013: Yes. Because I know I like Fried Chicken.
- +2
Apr 5 2013: yes but do you really know what fried chicken is?Apr 8 2013: That is evolution. A man that learned to drive so well he can do it perfectly without thinking has acquired his car almost as its a limb. A man that can play the piano without thinking has evolved.
So, I dont think we need genetic engeniering. It may help. But we are already evolving every day anyway.
And no, I still dont think that will enable us to understand everything of something.
I also believe once you understand everything you become god. But I also doubt one day we will be able to achieve that. At least as humans anyway.Apr 8 2013: I think humans are evolving on its own through diferent means. I mean, evolution as a biological concept has its flaws. Its also logical to observe that humans nowadays are very diferent from humans from 100.000 years ago. Not only due to biology but also due to technology and knowledge.You see, we usually see our bodies as a single entity. But it really isnt. Our body is a ever changing organism made of billions of cells, which sometime last a few days. Due to our neurons, we are able to retain memory, and are able to create an ego because we can maintain information. But that doesnt change the fact that our body changes every single day. The man you are today didnt exist 1 year ago. The matter changed. The physiological laws inside your body changed also.
What made humans diferent is that we understand causality. Causality being the knowledge about how things change from one thing to another. Its the understanding that water turns into ice, that if you drop something it falls. Its understand natural laws. Our body uses these natural laws to make it work. We, as humans, undertand laws of nature to change the enviroment. So, when a man learns about causality he is, in some way, evolving. Just like some animals that gather shells from other animals and use it for their own reasons, we as humans also adapt natural laws to our bindings. That means we have conquered eletricity, chemistry, the power of the atom and nuclear energy, gravity and so own. Just like our bodies use causality in one way that evolution "enabled" it to, we as humans are evolving because we are gathering more and more powers through the use of technology.Apr 5 2013: I can only hope that what we know barely even registers as a fraction of a percent of what we potentially could understand.
Apr 5 2013: Love that shit...Apr 5 2013: It depends on how you aproach reality. Human perception is flawed because if you dont believe in god you also dont believe the universe was tailored for us, meaning instead of a universe that was laid down for us to understand it, we are merely lower life forms strugling to understand a bit of the universe that is avaiable to our perceptions.
So, there are two paradigs: the universa was made for us, which means we can truly understand everything about it, or we are just a part of the universe, and are strugling to understand part of it through our limited ressources.
I believe in the second idea. Now, people say we have five senses. Those are the ways we can perceive reality. For example, light is the perceive spectrum of certain eletromagnetic waves that can be transformed into neurological impulses through our eyes. Yet we are able to perceive waves that cant be seen through our eyes by using technology. Technology enabled us to experience things that we wouldnt be able to with just our natural senses.
Now, has technology enabled us to perceive every single detail of something down to its smallest components? I doubt so. Will we be able to in the future? I also doubt it. There are probabily truths in the universe that we humans will never know about, no matter how much science and technology develops.
Apr 5 2013: Yes this is very true.. now i truly believe that there is a point when technology is so highly advanced you simply become god but humans as the species we know will not. Also for all we know in 300 years genetic engineering will have changed us into an entirely different species.Apr 4 2013: No. Because there is theory of probability.Apr 3 2013: G'day Charles
If you look at this way, the Mayans were a very brutal people a few hundred years back but they devised the Mayan calendars amongst other things, with all our warring, destruction & polluting are we going to be seen in the same light in a few hundred years time? I would say so, so how far have we really come & how much have we truly learnt?
Let's look at the combustion engine for an example which was first devised in the late 1800's, we are still using the same although modified version of the original combustion engine, it still works on the same exact principles today which really shows you how antiquated we still are in our thinking.
We know diddly squat.....Sorry, we have devised more efficient ways to kill our selves off, that's progress for you!!
MathewApr 2 2013: Yes. I truly know I do not know many things. I have a feeling many of us know that too.Apr 2 2013: I never think I can truly know everything.On the contrary all things I think I know just the tip of the iceberg.For an instance:Sometimes you think you do know one of your friends well,but someday you just really have quite different ideas about what your friend is...Now I know it is so common in our lives,it depends on what my perspectives to see things around.Apr 1 2013: Trigonometry is a limited field of mathematics. It has been thoroughly explored and we understand it completely down to it's smallest components.
Apr 1 2013: Congratulations, you completely understand pi down to it's smallest components.
Apr 1 2013: Pi is exactly circumference / diameter. Just because it can't be expressed as a fraction doesn't mean it's not understood.
Apr 1 2013: No argument. This whole discussion is about "understood."
If anything is completely understood, it is mathematics. We have a better understanding of mathematics than we have of our language, and we have specific brain structures for language.Apr 1 2013: yes but also you must understand we don't know the exact origins of the most basic math

KAUA'I, Hawai'i (Nov. 4, 2012) – The ETSU men's golf team wraps up its fall season this week when the Bucs partake in the inaugural Warrior-Wave Intercollegiate, which is held at the Makai Golf Club at the St. Regis Princeville Resort. The three-day, 54-hole tournament begins Monday.
ETSU last competed two weeks ago at the U.S. Collegiate Championship at the The Golf Club of Georgia – Lakeside Course. Going head-to-head with some of the top teams in the country, the Bucs put together an 11th-place finish after totaling a three-round score of 892, and placed ahead of then No. 22 Wake Forest, No. 16 Kent State, No. 17 Texas A&M, and Iowa. Freshman Gudmundur Kristjansson (Reykjavik, Iceland) finished the final round with an impressive 4-under-par 68 and tied for 20th at 4-over-par 220. Meanwhile, fellow freshman Adrian Meronk (Wroclaw, Poland) paced the Blue and Gold after tying for 13th at 3-over 219.
The first-annual Warrior-Wave Intercollegiate is co-hosted by the University of Hawai'i and Pepperdine University. The golfers will play 18 holes each day with the champion being crowned on Wednesday.
Joining ETSU, Hawai'i, and Pepperdine, will be Baylor, Cal State Fullerton, Fresno State, Georgia Southern, Indiana, North Carolina State, San Diego State, San Diego, UAB, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, and Xavier. Five teams in the field are ranked within the top-50 of the Golfweek/Sagarin ratings, as well as four teams in the top 50 of the Golfstat.com rankings.
The Makai Golf Club at the St. Regis Princeville Resort Course plays 7,223 yards and is a par-72. The Makai Golf Club has been ranked one of the top five Great Golf Settings from National Geographic, as well as one of the top 75 Best Golf Resorts according to Golf Digest and the top 100 Golf Resorts from Travel & Leisure.
The Bucs send out the same lineup they have sent out all fall, which consists of two sophomores and three freshmen. Along with Kristjansson and Meronk will be sophomores Rhys Pugh (Pontypridd, Wales) and Scott Gibson (Southerness, Scotland) and freshman Chris Hickman (Centreville, Md.).
Fans can follow all the scoring live on Golfstat.com, while full recaps with scores will be available at ETSUBucs.com following each round.

Quarterback Colar Kuhns, a Division I recruit, transferred to Damascus High School from Calvert Hall College High School, according to Damascus football coach Eric Wallich.
Wallich said he thinks Kuhns is immediately eligible, and Damascus Athletic Director Joe Doody said he's working with William "Duke" Beattie, the county's director of system-wide athletics, to resolve that issue.
Beattie did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Wallich said Kuhns' role will be limited. Kuhns is a senior.
"He's not going to be the starting quarterback," Wallich said.
Immediately or at any point?
"Any point," Wallich said. "... He just showed up."
Senior quarterback Chase Williams started the season's first two games for No. 4 Damascus, which hosts No. 2 Quince Orchard High School at 6:30 p.m. Friday. Williams has competed 11-of-16 passes for 202 yards and four touchdowns.
Kuhns started Calvert Hall's third game, but he was replaced in the second quarter of the win over Franklin, according to The Baltimore Sun. He split snaps during Calvert Hall's most recent game, a 21-3 loss to Our Lady of Good Counsel High School that dropped Calvert Hall to 1-3.
According to Rivals.com, a recruiting website, Kuhns has scholarship offers from six schools: Cornell, Bryant, Bucknell, Eastern Kentucky, Toledo, William & Mary,
Calvert Hall coach Donald Davis said Kuhns threw for more than 2,000 yards last season.

Landscaping on the coast is no easy task. The wind, salt spray, occasional far-reaching storm waves, and shifting, parched, sandy soils can thwart even the most seasoned gardeners. But with the right plants, you can attain a flourishing coastal landscape and spend less time, money, and labor in the process. Other rewards include: enhanced visual appeal of your coastal property, preservation of the natural character of the coastal environment, habitat for wildlife, a filter for pollution, and natural protection from storm damage and erosion.

Thumbnails not working
If I have three separate IDs, each with their own external CSS stylesheet) for each of the three short rows of thumbnails on my Web page, why
would those separate IDs be ignored?
There should only be three groups of four images in a little slideshow like this:
Thumbnails 1-4
Thumbnails 5-8
Thumbnails 9-12
but the distinctions, again, with their own divs/ids, are ignored and so the slideshow continues from 1-12.
That implies it is a JS issue and not a CSS scripting problem.
The site is here if anyone has any ideas about how to limit the slideshow to each group of four thumbnails: http://www.bayingwolf.com/colour1.asp
Maybe you should ask the people who created that light box whether it was ever intended that it would allow multiple light boxes on one page?
But there are clearly things wrong in your code.
You include the exact same ".js" setup file three times, one per group of 4 images.
How does it make sense to include the exact same file more than once?

Hello OP
It's not the same:

<a class="vlightbox1" etc

<a class="vlightbox2" etc

<a class="vlightbox3" etc

Yes, they pull on the same JS file - that should not be a problem.
Incidentally, the 'add records' ASP issue you helped me with seems to be working, so a big thank you to you.
You take care,
Look again.
Look at the code of "colour_files/vlb_engine/vlbdata1.js"
You never mention the other two class names.Code:jQuery(document).ready(function () { window.Lightbox = new jQuery().visualLightbox({ autoPlay: true, borderSize: 12, classNames: 'vlightbox1', closeLocation: 'top', descSliding: true, enableRightClick: false, enableSlideshow: true, prefix: 'vlb1', resizeSpeed: 7, slideTime: 3, startZoom: true }) });
But, again, are you really sure that this code was ever DESIGNED to support multiple lightboxes on the same page? I'm not convinced that it was.

Hello vwphillips
I can't thank you enough for your work and help in getting this to work. I am delighted with it - thank you. It's here:
I can see that I was envisaging the slideshow as one separate entity rather than three smaller exercises - so thanks for highlighting that.
Hello OP
This is what the Web site says: 'Now you can insert galleries with different styles into the same page':
They propose doing it using their software - I have not tested that feature as I thought I would try this first.

Gallery: Solar Parking Lot of the Future Does Much More Than Park Cars
We're pretty certain that parking lots of the future will be more than just storage areas for our vehicles. They'll generate their own power, have morphing advertisements, and likely recharge cars as well. Well our friends at Designboom and Nissan are way ahead of the curve. They just announced the results of their Think Outside the Parking Box competition, and while we're certainly impressed with some of the imaginative ways to park cars (car ferris wheel, anyone?), we were most excited about the Solasis Light Tower. This renewable energy generating parking lot actually uses the cars' windshields to shine sun onto a solar power concentrating tower adding valuable juice to the grid. Read on to see how the designers propose to make the tower work and see some detailed pics of the final design.
In order to save precious surface area in the city, the Solasis Light Tower is slightly removed from the city center on a floating platform. Cars are parked so that their windshields and hoods face the solar receptor at the front of the parking lot. The designers, Klaud Wasiak and Yongbang Ho focused the concept around the Nissan Qashqai which has mesh made up of photovoltaics and mirrors on the windshield and roof. When parked, the mirrors activate and track the sun and redirect the beams of light to the solar concentrating power tower.
Drivers of cars who park in this offshore parking lot can hop on an underground metro line that will bring them to the city core. Or they may choose to cut through the above-ground park and get exercise by walking into the city. Wasiak & Ho designed this because they felt that parking lots are wasted and practically unusable space. With a power generating parking lot like this, the spaces actually give back to the city.
We also really likeNejur Andrei's concept, who proposed the SolarParking, a way to recharge cars wirelessly via photovoltaics.

Looks good, but seems unrealistic, and like alot of trouble to go through with that idea. A couple of ideas that I think are better (doesent look this stylish though):
– why not put solar panels ontop of parkinghouses instead, and only allow roofparking overnight?
– a similar floating platform, only the future cars have solarpanels on roofs, hoods, windows etc. When you hook a cord up from the car to the grid, you put the power you dont need to charge the batteries, into the grid, whitch inturn releases a bike you can ride into town

Well, let's think of this "outside-the-box" idea from a classic "inside-the-box" point of view and try to find some minor improvements…
Imagine this complex system of micro-mirrors on the roof of Quashqai, constantly tracking the movement of the Sun, locating (with some radar technique?) concentrating point on the tower, controlling servos to point the sunbeam onto the tower – and all of this stuff is constantly working, 'cause the Sun is constantly moving (in relative coordinates)… That would use a lot of energy from the car's sources. I doubt whether this amount of energy will be compensated by the reflected beam's energy at a distance of 100 meters (or wherever the tower is). Also that would add a noticeable amount of bucks to a price of this Quashqai.
Why not add a minor improvement, which will let us save costs on complex mirror-systems in every car (and their repair/maintenance as well), save energy on constant tracking systems on every vehicle and also will let us park old cars (without such systems) without any harm to this parking/plant's energy efficiency?
That improvement is – mirror roof for every parking place, with it's own centrally-controlled servo, centrally-tracked Sun and pre-calculated tower position.

Pronounced: ten-o-sin-o-VITE-is
Nicky Lowney
Tendons are the cords that connect bones to muscles in the body. They are covered by a sleeve-like tissue. Tenosynovitis is an inflammation of this sleeve. It occurs most often in the hand, wrist, or foot.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Most cases of tenosynovitis are caused by one of the following:
Factors that may increase your risk of
tenosynovitis include:
Tenosynovitis may cause:
Tenosynovitis is common in the tendons of the thumb. This is called de Quervain's tenosynovitis. It causes pain and stiffness in the thumb side of the wrist.
The wrists, hands, and feet are also commonly affected. Tenosynovitis that affects tendons of the fingers can also make the finger stick in a bent position.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. It will include an assessment of the joint.
A blood test may also be done. Your doctor will use this to look for signs of bacterial infection or other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Your doctor may refer you to a hand specialist.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. The goal of treatment is to reduce swelling and pain and to allow the tendon to move freely. Treatment options include the following:
Resting the involved joint is often the best treatment for tenosynovitis. A brace or splint may be used to help you rest the joint. Rest may be combined with basic stretching and strengthening exercises.
Your doctor may refer you to a physical therapist. Therapy will help to reduce discomfort and promote recovery through exercise. The therapist may also suggest modifications to your workplace to reduce stress to the area.
Applying ice or heat to the area may decrease pain and swelling. Start with ice, especially soon after the injury. If ice is not helpful, try heat.
Several medications are used to treat tenosynovitis. These include:
Surgery may be used for severe tenosynovitis. The surgery will release the tendon and allow it to move freely.
To prevent tenosynovitis, avoid overuse of your tendons. Take the following steps if you have a job or hobby that involves repetitive motions of the hand, wrist, or foot:

Gallery: The L41 Prefab Home Packs a Whole Lot into a Tiny Space
The goal of the designers of the home is that it will eventually be able to be mass-produced much like a car and become very affordable with economies of scale. At 220 sq ft, the studio packs in built-in storage, living/bedroom space, a kitchen and a bathroom. Other models include a slightly larger 290 sq. ft. 1-bedroom unit and a 360 sq. ft. 2-bedroom unit. These homes could even be included in a much larger, prefabricated multi-unit development.
As for the green features, the L41 is constructed of cross-laminated timber, which is an engineered product made from beetle-killed pine trees in the north-west US. Beetle-killed lumber is structurally sound, but if left to the devices of nature, will rot in the woods. When used for engineered lumber, it is put to good use. Each home includes triple-glazed windows, energy efficient appliances, LED lighting, solar heating, heat recovery, and even a pretty little green roof.

I think the problem is that the point of reference for designers and the editors here is a Manhattan apartment or a San Francisco apartment.
99% of the people who you might want to consider this design haven't got $55,000.00 for a car, another comparison that doesn't make it in "fly-over" country.
There is no mortgage money flowing. Credit scores are at an all time low. Thousands are losing their homes or squatting illegally until the Sheriff comes.
While this may be an interesting design exercise, only the wealthy can afford to be "green" at these prices.
July 17, 2010 at 1:01 am
Are you f#*%ing kidding me!!! A $230 per square foot matchbox. The designer "hopes" to one day produce it for $50k?! Am I to assume that would be his cost? What if he wants to make a profit? If you fools want to live the rest of your lives in a rediculously-priced sardine can to repent for your eco sins, be my guest. I just purchased a foreclosed condo at public auction for $8500. 1250 SF, 2BR, 2BA and a new community pool in a decent neighborhood. After another $12k in green remodeling including foam insulation, new doors, new windows, CFLs, and Energy Star A/C and appliances, I'm all in at just over $20k. It'll save me a ton on utility bills, too. These eco designers are con artists preying on your eco guilt.

You either believe and trust that the Holy Bible is the true and only Word of God or you don't.
You either believe and trust that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and that he died on the cross for our sins and rose from the grave on the third day to give us eternal life or you don't.
There is no middle ground with God. It's either one or the other. Your decision determines your eternal destiny.
God will have the final word in everything, so if you want to continue to deny him and fight against him in your heart and your life, go ahead and waste all your energy if you wish.

After listening to County Executive Ed Long present an overview of his proposed budget for fiscal 2014 and 2015, several county supervisors quipped that there isn't much to like about it.
Although the lines were delivered somewhat in jest, there were some serious emotions behind the remarks as the Board of Supervisors pondered a budget plan built on a significant tax increase that offers no pay increases to county employees and little in the way of new programs or services.
"I sure hope somewhere in the next six weeks somebody is happy," said Supervisor Michael Frey (R-Sully).
Long is proposing a 1.5 percent increase in general fund spending, about $51 million, over the current budget year. The bulk of that, $41 million, represents an increase in funding for Fairfax County Public Schools.
The remaining $10 million net increase in spending on county programs includes increases in health care and other personnel costs, additional support for Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board programs, and funding for public safety needs, offset by $20.5 million in budget reductions and $13 million in additional state funding for a child care program.
The cuts to county agencies include the elimination of 91 staff positions, most of which are already vacant, Long said. Twelve of the positions are currently filled.
Long said he did not include many of the proposed cuts that county agencies provided him in a budget planning exercise because he believes that county residents and the Board of Supervisors are not prepared to accept that level of service cuts.
"Nobody jumped forward and said, 'This is a program we could cut or reduce,'" he said. "I think the heavy lifting on cuts is done."
The budget also absorbs more tax revenue than the fiscal 2013 budget, as the current budget plan relies on more than $60 million in one-time revenues, primarily from year-end budget surpluses. Long is proposing funding these recurring expenditures with recurring revenues, i.e. taxes.
Taxes for the average homeowner would increase by $262 under Long's proposed 2-cent increase in the real estate tax rate. In addition to the rate increase, more than 70 percent of homeowners in the county will see an increase in their assessed home values this year, Long said.
This proposed tax increase would carry the county through the next two budget cycles, Long said.
Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield) said the board "haven't really done our job" over the last few budget cycles to reduce expenses.
"To me, it's going to be refocusing on our priorities … and not balancing the budget on the backs of our taxpayers or our employees," he said.
Other supervisors noted that the proposed real estate tax increase would hit around the same time as other new taxes, such as the service district to fund transportation projects in Tysons Corner and the increased taxes to fund local transportation projects that were included in the recent state transportation funding package.
"What we are seeing here is, in some parts of the county, more than your $262 average," said Supervisor Linda Smyth.
Supervisor Gerry Hyland (D-Mount Vernon), made his perennial suggestion that the county consider a meals tax to offset its reliance on real estate taxes. A meals tax would have to be approved by voters in a ballot referendum.
The board will review the budget in-depth over the next two months and solicit public input at budget meetings in each supervisory district, as well as public hearings in April. The board is expected to adopt the budget April 30.
Long's proposed budget is available online at fairfaxcounty.gov/budget and one reference copy of the document will be available at each county library.

Up to 80% of women are wearing the wrong sized bra so if your bra is nipping, pinching or is genrally uncomfortable, then you may be in the wrong bra size. Try pur simple checklist for getting the right fit:
- The wires in the middle of your chest should sit flat and securely against your rib cage in the crease of your bust.
- Wires should cradle the breast tissue - never press against it. Your bra should support, not cause discomfort.
- Breasts should not bulge out of the cup either at the top or at the side and, equally, the cup should not gape.
- The band should sit horizontally across your back in line with the wires at the front.
- Adjust the length of your straps to give support but they should be comfortable.
Our guide to measuring your breasts will help you to find the right bra for you
- Find your band by measuring around your ribcage just below your breast tissue, the tape should be snug but don't pull too tight.
- If this measurement is an even number add 4 to give your back size, if this is an odd number add 5. For example if you measure 28 inches, add 4 to get 32 or if you measure 31 inches add 5 to get a back size of 36.
- Measure around the fullest part of your breasts, again don't pull the tape too tight.
- Calculate your cup size by working out the difference between this measurement and your back size. If your bust measure 1 inch more than your back size this is an A cup. 2 inches more is = B cup, 3 inches more = C cup and so on.

JOHNSONBURG – The Ramettes used two big innings Monday to surge past the visiting Lady Elkers in an 8-3 victory at Knothole Recreational Park.
Deadlocked in a 2-2 game, the Ramettes exploded for three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and another three in the sixth inning to secure the victory.
Tied 2-2, Tommi Wildnauer stroked a one-out single to score Elena Solorio to take a 3-2 lead. After a walk to Dani Jo Dwyer, Kassa Kocjancic strolled home on a bases loaded walk to Kiana Myers for the 4-2 lead. Justis Myers also followed suit with a walk as Wildnauer tapped the plate for a 5-2 advantage.
The Lady Elkers were able to score a run to cut the lead to 5-3 in the top of the fifth inning on an error at shortstop as Breezy Mazur scored.
After both teams were held scoreless in the next inning, the Ramettes scored three more runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the game away.
After a groundout to open the inning, Dwyer reached on an error in right field on a routine flyball. After Kiana Myers walked, Justis Myers reached on an error at shortstop as Dwyer scored for the 6-3 lead. Brittany Watts then tagged a single to score Kiana Myers and Taylor Harvey hit a drive to deep center field for the sacrifice fly to plate Justis Myers to take an 8-3 lead.
Paige DeCecchis retired the side in the top of the seventh inning for the complete game victory.
Ridgway opened the scoring with a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning with a sacrifice fly by Ashley Viglione to plate Jenna Hoffman, who took a free pass from DeCecchis, who gave up just four walks on the day.
The Ramettes responded with a run in the home half of the first inning as Kiana Myers stroked a run-scoring single to plate Tommi Wildnauer, who got things started with a leadoff single to center field.
Ridgway got a bloop single from Sydney Kovalyak and a walk to Jill Gaio to start a rally in the top of the second inning. With two aboard, Jenni Thomas hit a single down the right field line to bring in Sydney Kovalyak for a 2-1 lead. After a walk to put Melissa Wehler on, a groundout by Hoffman caught Gaio at home for the out and Brianna Stenta followed with a foulout to third baseman Kassa Kocjancic.
The Ramettes were set down in order in the bottom of the second inning and back-to-back Lady Elker singles were followed by consecutive strikeouts by DeCecchis in the top of the third inning to end the threat.
The Ramettes would knot the game at 2-all in the bottom of the third inning as Dwyer trotted home on a passed ball. Dwyer was caught in a rundown but a high throw from catcher Sydney Kovalyak brought the game-tying run through. After Justis Myers walked, Watts struck out to end the inning.
Despite the miscue, Sydney Kovalyak was one of Ridgway's offensive leaders as she finished 3-for-4 and scored a run; Stenta's 2-for-4 showing was highlighted by two doubles. Thomas was 2-for-3 with an RBI.
For the victors, Wildnauer was 2-for-4, scored twice and knocked in a run. She was complemented by Kiana Myers, who had a timely single in the bottom of the fourth inning for what turned out to be the game-winner. She also walked three times as did Dwyer, who also scored twice in the game.
