Hidden World of the Viola d'Amore
Welcome to Viola D'Amore Updated Dec. 13, 2015
* Georgi's playing is consistently brilliant; he draws an uncommonly warm sound .... Carlos Maria Solare, The Strad, May 2009
This website was set up with the purpose of fostering a wider understanding of the viola d'amore and its repertoire. This site is offered with the understanding that the music downloaded is for personal or educational use only, and is not to be reproduced for profit. Furthermore, the information I present here is the best I was able to assemble, but I am sure there is more to learn about this beautiful but complicated instrument.
There is now a Romanian translation summary of this page.
For viola d'amore in the news, see my facebook page.
This site is here document the more unchanging aspects of the viola d'amore, as well as to promote my recordings, Bis 1535, Bis 1555, Bis 1675, my 3 volume set of Attilio Ariosti's complete music for viola d'amore, and partly for other efforts on behalf of the viola d'amore. Now you can download those recordings here.
Especially important to me is helping musicians overcome two of the big stumbling blocks to the wider use of the viola d'amore, finding instruments, and obtaining viola d'amore music together with the knowledge needed to decipher it.
Have a listen to a recent video of a rare duet for two violas d'amore by a 19th century composer named Kral: Kral Nocturne
This is the most recent discovery, a 17th century set of 22 solos for viola d'amore:
This is from the Benediktinerstift Goetweig. I make some guesses about the music on the Scordatura pages, because the notation is so unique and interesting.
Some years ago I made couple of very short video clips, helped by a colleague, posted them on this website. Then deleted them, but they found a life of their own on youtube. For the record, this video was shot in the back courtyard of Kloster Irsee. I am playing the first ritornello and first solo from Vivaldi's concerto for viola d'amore (minus the orchestra!) Vivaldi Concerto for Viola d'amore in D.
Youtube has been a boon to the viola d'amore. I have posted a few videos of my own, and tried to favorite some very interesting and unusual work connected to the viola d'amore here.
While you are at youtube don't miss Garth Knox's channel!
For another website devoted to the viola d'amore see The Viola d'amore Society of America site.
In time for St John Passion season, see Leon's site for free scordatura parts for the two Bach arias with viola d'amore.
Here are a number of libraries where you may download free facsimiles of viola d'amore music. I used to try to provide links, but I can not keep up with the changes. Do look for these great sources on library websites.
For Mauro Righini's viola d'amore blog: Blog
Several makers make violas d'amore based on my Thomas Eberle, here is the website of one of these makers: Eberle copies. Here is another maker, who makes the North German type of viola d'amore without sympathetics strings.
You may e-mail questions about the history and repertoire of the viola d'amore, comments about particular pieces of music for viola d'amore, to thomasgeorgi (at) rogers.com. Thanks to all of the many visitors who have contributed questions and comments. I have been amazed at the depth of knowledge of the repertoire I have found on the web. Thomas Georgi

Congrats to our new partner Cloudera for putting on a great event this week. Hadoop World 2010 was a huge success – with over 900 attendees. It was great to talk to companies using Hadoop and those looking to solve their big data problems. We were also excited to have such a great showing at our presentation at the very end of the day with standing room only!
On Wednesday, following Hadoop World, the Pentaho Agile BI Tour arrived in NYC. Pentaho and its partner Project Leadership Associates presented a special half-day seminar focused on Agile BI and Big Data. We also hosted the first of three special OEM Power Lunches for companies interested in embedding Pentaho.
For an insider's look at our Week of Hadoop check out our slide show below.
If you missed our four announcements Tuesday about the availability of Pentaho Data Integration and Pentaho BI Suite for Hadoop and our new partnerships you can read what the press and analyst have to say:
Hadoop pitched for business intelligence

Today I installed the 32-bit version and now there is no picture at all! I tried to configure my webcam in the Video4linux control panel, but when I click Preview there is an error: "Failed to start preview process". Can anybody help me with this? I'm in despair.

The first flight of Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAA) carrying pilgrims for the 1999 Hajj arrived in Jeddah today from Jakarta. The plane was welcomed at King Abdulaziz International Airport by SAA Director-General Dr. Khalid Ibn Bakr, who stated that this flight marks the start of SAA's comprehensive plan for receiving pilgrims. This year, SAA expects to transport almost half a million pilgrims on board more than 2,000 international flights, both arriving and departing. Passengers will come from 14 locations in Asia, 14 in the Middle East and the Gulf, 17 in Africa, and 22 in Europe and the Americas. In addition to SAA's regular fleet, ten Boeings have been rented to accommodate them.
Meanwhile, it was announced today that the second phase has been completed of the project to set up fireproof tents at Mina. There are now over 20,000 of them available for pilgrims. In addition, large water reservoirs have been constructed on the hilltops of Mina and Al-Musaisem for use in extinguishing any outbreak of fire that may occur.

I have had a couple of these and they are not bad.
Not as good as some of the better known brands, but a great deal at this price.
Video playback is good, video capture is pretty good, still photos are good, but no flash, music playback is excellent and voice recorder is good.
Any idea what the battery life is for these devices?
@lazarus381: I don't know statistics, but I had no trouble with mine.
Seemed to last a long time really.

Box Score | Game Notes
SAN ANTONIO (April 20, 2013) – Rookie Jared Gomes extended his goal-scoring streak to five games, but the Rampage dropped a 5-2 decision to Houston (40-25-5-5) on Saturday night in the club's final game of the season in front of 10,836 fans at AT&T Center. The Rampage finished the 2012-13 season with a 29-38-2-7 record.
The game marked San Antonio's Fan Appreciation Night, in which more than $60,000 in prizes were awarded to fans in attendance. The game also marked the second-straight night the Rampage welcomed more than 10,000 fans into the AT&T Center – as a total of 22,553 fans filled the team's home barn on Friday and Saturday to wrap up the season.
Along with Gomes, Jack Combs finished the season on a four-game point-scoring streak (four goals, one assist) with a helper on the night. Jon Rheault also ended the season on a four-game streak (four assists), as he chipped in a helper in Saturday's defeat.
Rheault finished atop the team charts with 48 points (20 goals, 28 assists) in 67 games, while Gomes finished in second with 33 points (16 goals, 17 assists) in 73 games.
San Antonio jumped out to a 1-0 lead when Gomes lit the lamp to extend his point-scoring streak to six games (five goals, one assist) at 14:20 of the opening period. Rheault made a strong play at the blueline to create a turnover and found Gomes behind the Aeros defense. The rookie forward made a quick deke and beat Houston netminder Mike Condon.
Defenseman Colby Robak extended San Antonio's lead to 2-0 only 1:08 later. Robak blasted a shot from the point that found its way through traffic and past Condon for his fifth goal of the season. San Antonio outshot Houston, 12-11, in the first period and carried a 2-0 lead into the first intermission.
However, the Aeros erased San Antonio's two goal lead early in the second period. Brett Bulmer struck first from the left boards at 2:00 and Dan DaSilva recorded a power-play goal at 9:00 to tie the game at 2-2.
Houston took a 3-2 lead at 13:45 of the second period off a 2-on-1 odd-man rush. David McIntyre provided a perfect feed to Steven Kampfer, who banged home the puck past a sprawling Grumet-Morris.
Robak had a golden opportunity to tie the game with 1:56 remaining in the second period after Jack Combs sent him a pass on the backdoor. However, Condon dove in desperation to his right and denied Robak on the doorstep.
The Rampage outshot the Aeros, 14-11, in the third period, but it was Houston's Justin Fontaine who cashed in twice to put the game out of reach for the Rampage. Fontaine's second goal of the frame came while on the power play.
With two power-play goals on the night, the Aeros improved to 16-for-70 on the year against the Rampage with the man advantage and cashed in on the power play in seven of their last eight meetings. San Antonio finished the game 0-for-5 on the power play against the Aeros.
For the second-straight game, the Rampage outshot their opponent, 32-28, but the club ended the season on an 11 game winless skid (0-9-1-1).
Hockey will return to the Alamo City on Saturday, Sept. 20 when the AT&T Center will host a NHL preseason game between the Florida Panthers and Dallas Stars. Tickets for the NHL preseason game and season tickets for the 2013-14 Rampage season can be purchased by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

Can pollution and things in an organism's environment serve as hormones?
A hormone is defined as "a chemical released by a cell or a gland in one part of the body that sends out messages that affect cells in other parts of the organism" (I'm just taking Wikipedia definition).
Hormones work by binding to specific receptors present on their target cells so, if there is something in the environment that mimics the hormone, by binding to the same receptor they can act as hormones: these substances are called xenohormones and can often act as endocrine disruptors compounds (EDC), by acting on various organs in the body.
Probably the most known xenohormones are xenoestrogens that are been studied as possibly harmful for human health (e.g. linked to breast cancer), and as an environmental hazards, as they can, for instance, cause reproductive problems in fish.
Xenohormones are not necessarily bad, though. Some analogs of human hormones are used in therapy, having being synthesised specifically, for instance, to have higher potency then their natural counterparts.
Sure. Here are two anecdotes on xenohormones from unlikely sources.
Yes, they can.
An example of a man-made chemical byproduct affecting hormone signaling is Bisphenol A (BPA). There is a vast body of evidence linking BPA to all manners of hormonal misregulation.
It would be impossible to try and enumerate all of the studies, and specific mechanisms or the extent of the signaling pathways impacted by BPA have yet to be clarified, however you can have a look to the huge amount of papers on the matter that you can find on Pubmed.

WHEELING - Every dog has its day, as the saying goes - and Wednesday belonged to the pooch population of Wheeling, as the city learned it will receive $25,000 toward construction of a dog park.
It took a late surge during the final week of PetSafe's "Bark for Your Park" online voting contest for the Friendly City to capture one of four runner-up prizes. Those awards went to the top finishers among cities classified as small, medium and large, as well as to the community with the highest ratio of votes to population.
Wheeling finished third among 15 finalists in the overall standings with 105,547 votes. Texarkana, Texas, earned the contest's $100,000 grand prize with 144,706 votes.

PLAY TIME — Local dog owners, from left, Maryanne Burwell, Mia Szabo, Michelle Marinacci, Josh Benyo, Tara and Donnie Patterson, Brandon Alexander and Jeremy Morris take their pooches for a celebratory walk at Heritage Port after learning Wheeling has won $25,000 to build a dog park. -- Ian Hicks
When PetSafe removed the leaderboard from its website on July 19 in order to build suspense for Wednesday's announcement, Wheeling trailed medium city frontrunner Auburn, N.Y., by a few thousand votes. In the end, it wasn't close - Auburn finished more than 30,000 votes behind Wheeling in the final standings.
"We're extremely excited and very happy with where we finished," said Jeremy Morris, who has taken the lead in the effort to build a local dog park. "We just really want to thank the people of the Ohio Valley for voting, and supporting this and getting behind it."
Dog parks provide a fenced-in area where the animals can exercise and socialize with other dogs - and can help make a community more attractive to pet lovers, organizers believe.
Wheeling survived the cut to 15 from about 1,000 communities around the country that were nominated. To fulfill a contest requirement, local supporters filmed a 30-second video, posted online, that received almost 6,000 views - far and away the most among finalists.
Thus far, the group - known as "Wheeling Needs a Dog Park" - has focused all its efforts on turning out the vote, but now the real work begins - raising the rest of the money needed for the park, which could cost anywhere from $50,000 to $60,000. Committee members have raised about $2,000 so far, but with the competition over they can turn their attention to that task.
"The next step is for us to regroup and get settled on the site. ... We'll get out there and start raising (the money)," Morris said.
The proposed site for Wheeling's dog park is a strip of land along Heritage Trail in Elm Grove, across Interstate 470 from the J.B. Chambers Youth Sports Complex. Morris said the property's current owner is in the process of transferring the land to the city.
In addition to Wheeling, other runner-up prize winners were Conway, Ark., Silver Cliff, Colo., and Mountain House, Calif.

I have noticed some fact about cohomologie : when i have some kind of strucutre in a topos (for example the $G$-object for $G$ a group object in the topos) and a particular object $X$ model of this strucutre such that the sheaf of automorphism of $X$ is a sheaf of commutative group, Then there is (at least on a lot of examples) a bijection between isomorphism class of model of this structure which are locally isomorphic to $X$ and $H^1(T,G)$.
Examples I have in mind are the representation of dimension 1 of a group $G$ over a field $k$ which correspond in one hand to one dimensional $k$-vector space in the topos of $G$-set and on the other hand to the cohomology group $H^1(G-set,k^*) $. Or the principal bundle over a topological space $X$ which corresponds to some $H^1(X,G)$ too.
Is there a "general explication" to those facts ? I mean by that a result valid on an arbitrary topos who gave a bijection between a $H^1(T,G)$ and isomorphism class of objects internally isomorph.
And Is there "higher dimensional" generalization ? ( I am working on an example which seem to involve a 2-category of object inside a topos $T$ and where "equivalence class" of objects "localy equivalent" seem to be classified by some $H^2$ group in a way that i don't understand yet... )
Thank you !

Oops, something didn't work.
I was very impressed when seeing units of measure in F# the first time and believe it's a great selling point for the language.
Thanks, I find this very interesting. I imagine it can be helpful in many situations.
Very interesting ...and deep ... another nice interview Charles!
We've seen Don Syme several times on C9 ... its nice to finally see Andrew Kennedy!
However ... the code is completely unreadable!!! C'mon cant you guys ever use a larger font? Try 14 please!! Or Just use the new Zoom feature in the VS2010 editor!!
I'd like to actually see the code!!!
interesting so this is strictly a compile time feature? its not "generics" really, its sort of compile time generics?
thats the impression i got
also, is this just for floats? can a unit be any type? for instance if you have a class Person, could you create a unit of measure for Employee, manager and so on? (just as an example)
Yes, this is strictly a compile-time feature, so units errors get caught at development time, and there is no runtime performance hit.
It's for any types you like. Built-in types float, float32, decimal, and int can be parameterized on units, but you can build your own, e.g. vectors, complex numbers, matrices, or whatever. My blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/andrewkennedy) has more info.
Ah - sorry about the unreadable code. I had been assuming that the screen would be captured in high-res. A lot of the examples that I used are also discussed on my blog. The Lunar Lander code was written by Phil Trelford but I'll put it back together and post it here shortly.
My apologies for the poor resolution of the code demo on-screen. The way that we captured this is the problem. We are working on a solution to this general problem. See, we don't expect interviewees to have to install screen capture software on their laptops in order to record a demo in the studio. That said, we aren't yet sure of a practical solution that also affords least effort on the part of our guests. Working it out.
Thank you in advance, Andrew, for sharing the code in project file format. The domo code should be much easier to read in Visual Studio or a text editor
Again, we will work this out.
very cool.. we do alot of physics calculations for measuremnts on lasers so this could be very useful are you making any large changes in beta2 to this or is the beta1 functionality kinda stable?
Thanks for your reply ... again ... a very interesting feature and a awesome interview!
Measurements in F# is an exciting feature. No doubt about it. I was really impressed when I learned about it being added to the language.
It surely addresses a lot of potential issues with measurement mismatch.
Yet, run time support for measurements still makes a lot of sense.
If you are reading data from external sources at run-time (files, sensors, or web services), you'd still have to implemet all the measurement tracking and conversion yourself. If this can be married to contract somehow, then application would just have to tell the framework that it expects mass to be in kilos, and if input feed turns out to be pounds then conversion would happen under the scene.
Another presumably useful feature would be to declare measures off of classes/types. If for example, I'm counting my chicken, I don't want to be able to inadvertently add this to the count of eggs, unless I explicitly coersed chicken and eggs to be "things".
Anyhow, compile time support is a very good start.
This is a feature that I have been waiting for.
How is the UOM information able to be persited? If I were serialize an object with UOM would the UOM be included in the XML?
Also I read last year that this feature would also automatically take care of some of the unit conversion, say within a calculation. Is this still possible or will we have to manage the unit conversion ourselves?
Awsome stuff!
It's fairly stable. Defining your own overloaded methods on unit-parameterized types is slightly easier, as type inference has been improved. For the product release, there will be a bunch of functions to "cast" into units (e.g. one with type float -> float<'u>) which are intended for interop with non-unit-aware code. (e.g. you might have a numeric library that you want to wrap with a units API.)
The units-of-measure information is not persisted, as it is "erased" from types before runtime. (It's a purely static feature.)
As for unit conversions, there are no plans for automatic conversions for this release of F#: you must define your own conversion functions.
>> See, we don't expect interviewees to have to install screen capture software on their laptops in order to record a demo in the studio. >> That said, we aren't yet sure of a practical solution that also affords least effort on the part of our guests
Just Remote Desktop into the guest's laptop while recording the screencast on the client-side.
Rant: why is Channel9 reliably not working with Firefox browsers?! Impossible to view videos or post replies. Bummer!
Not sure about the FF issues. Can you be more specific? You could also run FF's dev tools and send the script error details
Sorry you having a bad experience. We will look into this.

C++ has had this a feature for decades, implemented as a template-library evaluated at compile time. See: "The SI Library of Unit-Based Computation."

Let T is a hausdorff group topology and (G,T) is locally compact abelian group.If (G,T) has no open compact subgroups then can we say G has an infinite discrete cyclic subgroup?
This is a comment. I'm putting it as an answer just to draw attention to the question. (I hope it's ok.) It might be very easy. I'm very curious to know the answer. I'd state the question as follows:
Are there locally compact groups which have no compact open subgroups and no discrete infinite cyclic subgroups?
By page 110 of Weil's book [1], the answer is No in the abelian case.
A particular case of the question in the nonabelian case is this. Let G be a non-compact connected Lie group. Does G admit a discrete infinite cyclic subgroup? Again, I suspect that this subquestion is very easy (at least for experts).

Who hasn't had a few run-ins with the Zombie hoard... most trips through a major metropolitan train station probably count here. Zombie Law is a brilliant 'fake' law firm staffed by zombies and 'living enabled people' for all your Zombie related legal requirements.
My favourite line so far has to be, "We will rise up to defend your rights".

Are you a map hacker? Well, recently we invited some of the best map hackers onto campus to show us how it's done. Think you could do an even better hack? Then enter the Virtual Earth competition and you could win $1,000. Oh, and watch Chandu Thota's blog next week. He has some news about Virtual Earth coming (he works on the Virtual Earth team).
Oops, something didn't work.
I'm here too....Hmmm...Dinner anyone?
Cell: 617-669-5374
We've created a redesign of the Virtual Earth site that we're calling "Atlas".
We think it's the cleanest, most drop-dead simple, web-based mapping and searching tool to date. For us it's a starting point where we'll begin adding mashups and have plans for several new features in the future.

I'm having issues sending messages/texts to my to wife's iPhone but she can send them to my iPhone and they show up with my ID?
Can anyone tell me why and how I can fix it?
To address this issue I'd recommend checking the iMessage settings on both phones. If they're both using the same Apple ID for iMessage, they may have trouble sending to each other. Changing the iMessage Apple ID will not mess up anything else (like the Store, iCloud, etc).
To check it, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
A button at the top of that screen will show you which Apple ID is being used for iMessage. If they're the same on both phones, you'll need to sign out on the one you wish to change. To do this, tap the "Apple ID: " button and then choose Sign Out.
Then you'll be able to sign in to iMessage with a different Apple ID, existing or new. I hope this helps!
Sometimes this occurs because the device might not contain iMessage, eg. iPhone 3GS

PNCA Announces 2009 President's Award Winners
Each year, PNCA President Tom Manley selects two PNCA students from the annual BFA Juried Exhibition to receive awards. This year, President Manley awarded Brooke Eastburn with a 2009 President's Award and Jeremy Le Grand with a 2009 President's Award Honorable Mention.
Photography major Brooke Eastburn '09 was the recipient of the President's Award for her three video pieces: "Art21Mockumentary: Beastburn," "Invocation," and "Sea Journey."
"I am interested in exploring the binary oppositions between the appropriate and inappropriate, art and pornography, morality and perversity," Eastburn related in an artist's statement. "By embracing the abject, I force my viewers to confront their own cultural fears."
Intermedia major Jeremy Le Grand '09 received the Honorable Mention for his piece "Untitled," featuring cut and stacked digital prints.
"This work is about translating the physicality of the subject into its visual representation. By making the image embody the tactile characteristics of the jungle it depicts I am attempting to collapse the space between subject and object, allowing the viewer to occupy the indeterminate space between illusion and reality."

I've got a few machines which I'm upgrading from version to version for a few years.
I'm curious to find out what was the original version of Ubuntu installed on the machine.
Is there a way to do that?
Run this command from the terminal:

A possibly over looked option here might be to judge age through the use of time stamps. Just look and see what the time stamps are on some of the oldest files. For example, a file with a last modified dated of Jun 2010 may indicate Ubuntu 10.04.
Obviously this isn't a foolproof system, because some files can be copied onto a system with older dates than the existence of the installed Operating System. So you have to use your best judgment.

In the literature I can only find Chern-Simons terms for odd-dimensional manifolds. For example, for a $G$-bundle over a 3-dimensional manifold we have $A \wedge dA + A \wedge A \wedge A$ with $A$ being a $\mathfrak{g}$-valued 1-form. Why can't I write such forms for even-dimensional manifolds?
It has to do with the fact that the characteristic classes (over the reals) of a principal $G$-bundle have even degree. We can associate Chern-Simons-like theory to each characteristic class of degree $2k$ together with a $G$-bundle $P$ over a manifold of dimension $2k-1$.
To be a bit more technical a Chern-Simons-like form is asssociated to the following data
1. A homogeneous polynomial $\Phi$ of degree $k$ on the Lie algebra of $G$ invariant under the action of $G$ by conjugation.
2. A principal $G$-bundle $P\to M$ over $M$.
3. A pair of connections $\nabla^0, \nabla^1$ on $P\to M$.
The Chern-Weil theory produces two closed forms
$$ \Phi(\nabla^0),\Phi(\nabla^1)\in \Omega^{2k}(M) $$
and a form
$$ T\Phi(\nabla^1,\nabla^0)\in \Omega^{2k-1}(M), $$
such that
$$ d T\Phi(\nabla^1,\nabla^0)= \Phi(\nabla^1)-\Phi(\nabla^0). $$
(For details see Chapter 8 of these notes.)
The transgression form $T\Phi(\nabla^1,\nabla^0)$ is the one used in Chern-Simons theories. It depends on two connections, but usually $\nabla^0$ is some fixed connection.

Fashion is a means to expressing a part of yourself, and is the first thing most people see about you. Whether you wear haute couture from the hands of Karl Lagerfeld, purchase ready-to-wear from Von Maur, or find that perfect piece through thrifting, fashion is for everyone if they want it.
How do you describe your style?
It's hard to say. I try to aim for timeless if I can. To be honest, though, I'm very new to fashion overall, so I'm still discovering for myself what my style actually is, and may always will.
What are your favorite pieces?
My Coach Tour Top in navy that I recently purchased at ModCloth. It's wonderful, and I plan to purchase the dress upon which the top is based soon as well, though it will be in purple.
Where is your favorite place to shop?
When I do shop, it's usually online. So I visit places like ModCloth, Petit Bateau, Zappos et al.
Who is your fashion icon?
My fellow fashion bloggers are my fashion icon. They've always shown me what was possible for my own style.
Right now, I'm in the process of starting my own luxury clothing/jewelry boutique after my last employer filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy last August. I plan to open somewhere on Frankfort Avenue along the trolley line, but I'll consider NuLu as well if they'll have me. Also, I'm working on a documentary as an intern for WFPL that will air in August. The hour-long documentary is about Louisville's LGBTQ community – of which I'm a part of (the T part, to be exact) – and their personal stories. Who knows; I may be interviewed myself. We shall see.

Hey Vegan Dad -
Love your site! (Honestly, I've just gotten into cooking big time, and this site is practically my bible and primer for vegan cooking! Thanks, thanks, thanks!!)
Just tried the breakfast sausages, but didn't have the instant tapioca on hand. They didn't hold together well. Just curious - does the tapioca act as a binder, or just texture, etc? Thx...!

hey vegandad. i just discovered your site and it is amazing. i am going to tell many a vegetarian/vegan friend of it (if they don't already know).
i have a question...do you think the sausage can be made without TVP? i want to try and make a soy-free sausage. and this looks close, but the TVP is soy protein. thanks! and keep up the amazing work.

Given that out and ref parameters have slight different connotations would writing code like below be considered a bug (even though it doesn't cause an issue at present), or just a lack of understanding on ref and out parameters?
public void MyMethod()
int myInt = 0;
MyMethodWithRef(ref myInt);
public void MyMethodWithRef(ref myInt)
// not used before being assigned a value. Does an out parameter make more sense then
myInt = 5;
I understand that this is the incorrect usage of ref but if you saw that in code constantly or even once would you consider it a bug and hence fix it as well as inform the original coder or just do it as part of general refactoring practices?

Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz has said that Arab countries are capable of solving their internal disputes peacefully if they make serious and credible moves.
The Crown Prince made the remarks in interview with Asharq Al-Awsat published today, the final day of his official visit to Spain.
In the interview, Crown Prince Sultan said that the Kingdom would continue its efforts within the framework of the Arab platform to reinforce world peace and stability.
On Lebanon, the Crown Prince expressed satisfaction with the landmark agreement reached by Lebanese groups after talks in Doha last month and welcomed the fact that the crisis in Lebanon was resolved by Arab mediation.
"We hope that the Doha agreement and election of President Michel Suleiman will mark the beginning of efforts to ensure a stable and prosperous future for fraternal Lebanon," the Crown Prince told Asharq Al-Awsat. "Also, the Doha agreement shows that the Arabs can resolve Arab crises if they are sincere and serious and enjoy credibility."
Turning to Iraq, Crown Prince Sultan said Saudi Arabia has always tried to restore peace and stability in its neighboring country. "The Kingdom stood by Iraq since the first day of the crisis," he said. "God willing, the Kingdom will continue its efforts at the Arab, regional, and world levels until fraternal Iraq enjoys security, stability, and the prosperity that it deserves."
Crown Prince Sultan has been in Spain for a four-day official visit that included talks with King Juan Carlos, Crown Prince Felipe and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero on Middle East peace and ways of strengthening cooperation between the two countries.
Yesterday, Prince Sultan received Arab ambassadors accredited to Spain and commended their efforts in promoting Arab-Spanish relations. He said that Arabs were seeking a full-fledged sovereign Palestinian state with comprehensive systems, rights and duties and complete borders.

There is a functor from bicomplexes to chain complexes sending a bicomplex to its associated total chain complex. Does this functor have a left adjoint, and if so, what is it?
It's not to hard to work out by hand what such an object would need to be if it existed. By considering the case that $D$ is a bicomplex supported in degree $(m,n)$, the adjunction condition $\operatorname{Hom}_{bicomplex}(L(C), D) = \operatorname{Hom}_{complex}(C, \operatorname{Tot}(D))$ imposes the condition that $L(C)$ have copies of $C_k$ in all degrees $(m,k-m)$. Similarly, by examining the case where $D$ has a single nonzero arrow, we find that up to signs, the differential $L(C)_{m,n} \to L(C)_{m-1,n}$ is given by $C_{m+n} \to C_{m+n-1}$, and the same holds for the vertical arrows.
As I understand it, there is a direct sum totalization, and a direct product totalization, and they have different adjunction properties. In particular, if $D$ has large support, then the left side of the adjunction condition involves a countably infinite product in each degree. While the direct product totalization yields an adjunction, the direct sum totalization will give you a dimension mismatch.
If you work with finite periodic complexes, the totalizations coincide, and the adjunction holds.
Since chain complexes are (up to some details about signs) representations of the $x \mapsto ax+b$ group $\mathbb{G}_a \rtimes \mathbb{G}_m$, the adjunction amounts to Frobenius reciprocity, and the problem here is quite similar to the problem of finding a well-behaved induction functor for passing from representations of this group to representations of its direct product with itself. Since the group has positive dimension, the usual induction ends up being some kind of direct integral. The direct product totalization seems to be some kind of completed restriction, but it is rather unclear to me.

There is some logic to this, I promise.
Argentina, you see, have reached the World Cup final for the first time since Italia '90 (which is quite apt, as you'll see in a sec) so Sunday's match is going to be quite the event for La Albiceleste. And no Argentinian event is complete without fernet!

I can't seem to get a facebook connect app that I am building to log the user out (sorry no url as it's still in dev). Each time the user clicks a link with the class "logout" the following JS runs which seems to work and even shows the FB modal stating the user has been logged out.
//Kill facebook Session
FB.Connect.logout(function() {
window.location = $('.logout').attr("href");
Upon reaching the callback above, the JS sends the user to the logout page where PHP again forces the removal of a custom session and insures that the FB session was removed. Then the user is sent back to the page they were on when they clicked the "logout" link.
//Remove our site session
//Send user to FB logout page and then back here
$logout_url = $this->fb->get_logout_url( site_url( $return_to ? base64_url_decode($return_to) : '' ) );
// Clear any stored state
exit(header("Location: ". $logout_url));
//$this->fb->logout( site_url( $return_to ? base64_url_decode($return_to) : '' ) );
//Remove user (is this needed..?)
//$this->fb->set_user(NULL, NULL);
//Remove the FB session cookies (in case the JS didn't)
// Redirect to privious page
redirect( ( $return_to ? base64_url_decode($return_to) : '') );
However, this whole process results in the user being right back where they were and still logged in. A second click on the link seems to do the trick and remove the session though. I have monitored firebug (w/firecookie) and the PHP logout page reports deleting the FB session cookies - yet the next page loaded seems to still use them?!
If anyone knows how to completely
DESTROY ALL FACEBOOKS ahem... sessions then please speak up.
:EDIT: I have even tried to manually remove all cookies on the logout page and it still fails
if( $_COOKIE ) {
foreach( $_COOKIE as $name => $value ) {
//Get the current cookie config
$params = session_get_cookie_params();
// Delete the cookie from globals
//Delete the cookie on the user_agent
setcookie($name, '', time()-43200, $params['path'], '', $params['secure']);

McCain To Propose Amendment Prohibiting Changes To Medicare Using Reconciliation
President Barack Obama may have cut off Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) at Thursday's health care summit, but Meet the Press gave McCain the last word this Sunday. During yesterday's appearance McCain announced that he will introduce legislation preventing the Democrats from using reconciliation to change Medicare spending:
MCCAIN: And let me also say that Robert Byrd also in the '70s exempted Social Security. Social Security cannot be considered in reconciliation. We should do the same thing with Medicare. Lindsay Graham and I will be introducing legislation. Entitlements should not be part of a reconciliation process, i.e., 51 votes. It's too important.
As McCain gears up for the toughest re-election campaign of his career, he has abandoned his support for cutting Medicare and Medicaid by some $1.3 trillion over 10 years and has grown increasingly protective of the government-sponsored program. At the summit, the Senator accused Obama of approving an 'unsavory' special deal for Floridians on Medicare Advantage and has spent hours defending the Medicare program during floor debate.
To my ears, the McCain/Graham amendment is another political ploy that's designed to communicate a message rather than stop the reconciliation process. After all, Congress has already approved the Medicare changes in the Senate health care bill and the reconciliation package of fixes will only include a change to the payroll tax (used to fund the Medicare program). A McCain/Grahm amendment that prohibits reconciliation changes to the Medicare trust fund could complicate the package, but it won't derail the entire effort.
But on the whole, this is really a cynical move (and highly unlikely, since any rule change would require 67 votes). Republicans have consistantly supported far larger cuts to the Medicare program than what Democrats are currently proposing and are always complaining that the Medicare "entitlement" program will bankrupt the nation. Now they're preparing to unveil an amendment designed to prohibit Democrats from reducing Medicare spending and extending the life of the program.

Advocacy Group Says Many Popular Sunscreens Offer Inadequate Sun Protection, Calls on FDA to Implement Label Changes
Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD
WebMD Health News
Group: Effectiveness of Sunscreens Hazy
July 1, 2008 -- An environmental research and advocacy group claims that four out of five brand-name sunscreens either provide inadequate sun protection or contain chemicals that may be unsafe, but industry representatives strongly dispute the charge.
In a report released Tuesday, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) calls on the FDA to implement promised changes in sunscreen labeling that would require manufacturers to provide more detailed information about the level of sun protection their products provide.
For the first time, manufacturers would have to test and label their products for protection against ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation, which does not cause sunburns but can damage collagen and cause wrinkles and sunspots. Research suggests that UVA is a cause of skin cancer.
The labeling upgrade was proposed by the FDA last August, but the changes have not been finalized.
The current sun protection factor (SPF) labeling system, which was implemented three decades ago, measures only protection from UVB rays -- the ultraviolet rays that cause sunburns.
"You can buy a high SPF product and still have no assurance that you are being protected from UVA, as well as UVB rays," EWG research director Jane Houlihan tells WebMD.
Sunscreens Under Scrutiny
In their newly published analysis of more than 900 brand-named sunscreens, EWG researchers concluded that 7% of the products with SPF ratings of 30 or higher did not protect against UVA rays.
Only 15% of the sunscreens met the group's criteria for safety and effectiveness by providing broad-spectrum sun protection (denoting protection against both UVA and UVB radiation), remaining stable in sunlight, and containing only active ingredients considered safe by the EWG.
The top-selling sunscreen brands tended to be the poorest performers, with none of market leader Coppertone's sunscreen products consider to be both safe and effective by the EWG.
Just one of 103 products from the second-largest seller, Banana Boat, and the third largest seller, Neutrogena, were recommended by the EWG.
Here are their top picks:
- Keys Soap Solar Rx Therapeutic Sunblock, SPF 30
- Trukid Sunny Days Facestick Mineral Sunscreen UVA/UVB Broad Spectrum, SPF 30+
- California Baby Sunblock Stick No Fragrance, SPF 30+
- Badger Sunscreen, SPF 30

- Lavera Sunscreen Neutral, SPF 40

A Sea Change in Sustainability
In the wake of new documentation over the last several years showing melting glaciers, projections of sea level rise, and increased frequency of extreme weather events, among other changes, the Colleges of the Fenway (COF) worked together to raise environmental awareness among their respective communities during the 2013 New England Campus Sustainability Forum on September 20.
The event saw the collaboration of faculty, staff, and students from the six Colleges of the Fenway, including Wentworth, working together to enhance understanding of complex issues of sustainability as they relate to natural resources and the environment.
"The level of devastation that we have had with recent storms is unlike anything that we have ever seen before," Mary Powell, CEO of Green Mountain Power, told the audience in a packed Watson Auditorium.
Powell played the role of keynote speaker for the event's morning session, expanding upon the topic "Sea Change: A New Paradigm for Strength, Resiliency and Success in a Rapidly Evolving Climate."
Relating a colleague's message that "this climate change is going to kill us," Powell discussed the role of a college in righting the environmental ship and creating a sustainable future. "We can all talk about it. We can sit here and come up with great programs, but at the end of the day if we don't help facilitate a dramatic culture change within our institutions we're in trouble," she said.
This year's event featured keynotes from Powell, in addition to Tufts University professor Julian Agyeman. Agyeman, an environmental social scientist, originated the "just sustainability" concept, which urges a better quality of life while also "living within the limits of supporting ecosystems."
Other events during the forum included workshops on assessing the financial value of renewable energy, managing climate risks relative to campus investments, and assessing campus vulnerability to climate impacts, as well as various panel discussions. Event locations were spread out among the COF schools. Opening remarks were given by Wentworth Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Russell Pinizzotto, Massachusetts College of Art and Design President Dawn Barrett, and various forum organizers.
"Sustainability is a top priority for us in higher ed. It must be," said Barrett. "We need to educate students to make choices that will positively affect our future. We must educate them to nurture the environment."
Though Powell warned her audience of the dangers that exist on planet Earth, she did leave room for optimism, provided people play their parts.
"We can change things if we put forth the effort," said Powell. "I have a tremendous sense of hope that we're going to move swiftly enough to make a real difference."

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. -- Nearly 100 leaders from U.S. and international military training groups met Aug. 30-31 at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., for the Combat Training Center, or CTC, Conference.
Hosted by Combined Arms Center's commanding general in his role as the CTC program's responsible official, the twice-yearly event focused on combat training center priorities, opportunities and challenges for the coming year.
The CTC Conference included key Army training leaders from U.S. Army Forces Command, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, U.S. Army Europe, the Department of the Army Headquarters G3 and G2, the Combat Training Centers and the Combined Arms Center. Attendees and presenters also included training representatives from the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps, as well as officers from the British, Canadian and Australian armies.
At the beginning of the conference, Brig. Gen. Charles A. Flynn said the event would focus on identifying "how CTCs will fit into Army training as we develop and attempt to create CTC-like experiences at home station." Flynn is acting commanding general for the Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth.
The August CTC Conference agenda was tailored to fit attendee interests and preferences, including updates on current/future CTC rotation design and future initiatives to ensure the CTCs provide the training Soldiers and leaders need to accomplish their mission and support the force and the fight.
Additionally, Canadian and Australian representatives shared details about what their national training centers are doing. Attendees also met in closed-door session to discuss how to keep the CTC relevant as the U.S. Army revitalizes home-station training.
The next CTC Conference is expected to be in March 2012.
Col. Pat White, deputy commander of the Combined Arms Center-Training, called the event a "great conference with participants from across the Army, sister services and the international community."
Part of the U.S. Army's TRADOC, the Combined Arms Center-Training delivers training programs, products and services to leaders and units in support of Army readiness. Wherever Army training occurs, the Combined Arms Center-Training helps make it happen.

I have a caravel and a scout and I am trying to get the scout on the caravel so he can explore a land mass across the ocean. I can't seem to figure out how to get him in the ship. Is this not possible in Civ 5 since the scout can ride in his own boat? Do I have to wait for a better ship than a caravel like a frigate?
Your scout can just move into the water and sail all by himself. It's called embarkation.
The ability to embark a unit into shallow water is unlocked by the optics technology. The Astronomy technology expands this ability by allowing units to also move across ocean tiles, not just shallow water.
Some notes:
You can't put units onto a ship in Civilization 5.
Instead, ALL land units can simply move into the water in order to "embark" and build their own transports.
However, while embarking, land units are completely defenseless and classified as civilian units, so you will want to escort them with the caravel.
Short answer: just move the scout into the water, then keep it near the caravel to keep it protected from any barbarians or enemy civs.

text: Well that's a total bummer! I was writing out my thoughts for this tutorial and all of a sudden my computer crashes on me. I lost the whole thing. Now I have to start all over and try to remember what I was talking about which is going to be almost impossible to do because I'm so furious right now. Anyways, who here would like to follow a lesson that can teach you how to draw Spawn easy? Well, I know there must be a few of you because it was requested by a member. Today I will try my best to teach you all the secrets to drawing Spawn easy. Now even though he looks simple to draw now, coming up with an idea to create Spawn in a simple format was kind of tricky because he is such a detailed character. His whole body is filled with a bunch of complex definition work so what I had to do was sketch him out minus all the extras. The only part of Spawn that I chose to keep detailed was his cloak. I didn't want Spawn to come out looking too flat, so I had to add some depth somewhere. Anyways, this should be fun for all you Spawn lovers, so have fun. I will prepare the zombie tut as you tackle this lesson. Adios people!
