I'm a programmer and I've made my own RSS / Atom feeds before for projects with hosting so I know the coding side.
But I don't have a server or hosting for my own long-term domain and I don't intend to get one.
I'm wondering if there is a free online webapp that lets users build RSS feeds that they then host / publish.
I know there are some which automatically create a feed from any changing web page, but I want something that allows me to build the logic, either by writing arbitrary code in some programming language, or by providing sufficiently sophisticated tools.
I intend to create feed posts from information I put together from consuming web APIs, scraping pages, etc.

Could someone please show me how to evaluate this integral (maybe doing all the steps)?
I prefer if you avoid to follow the same method used by WolframAlpha (with $\csc$, $\sec$ ecc).
This is what I tried 'till now:
- Substitution with $\sqrt{1+x^2} = u$ I obtained:
$$\int{\frac{u}{\sqrt{u^2-1}}\frac{u}{\sqrt{u^2-1}}}\,du = \int{\frac{u^2}{u^2-1}}\,du$$
But not knowing how to continue, I tried another substitution with $u^2 - 1 = s$ and I obtained:
$$\int{\frac{s+1}{s} \frac{1}{2\sqrt{s+1}} }\,ds = \frac{1}{2}\int{\frac{s+1}{s\sqrt{s+1}}}\,ds$$
But, again, not knowing how to continue I decided to ask here.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The fall of Vanlon. - 10-11-2010, 03:37 PM
I decided to chance my miserable life and write a Warcraft fic. Guess who it concerns? Yep, you got that right!
It was a dark night in the Western area of the Western Plaguelands. Or at least, the very, very eastward part of the Tirisfal Glades. It was also southernly to the point of trespassing on the Alterac Mountains, which explained the snowy white covering on the rooftops and ground.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, the Banshee Queen of the Forsaken, was standing in the center of the town of Vanlon's main hall. Her armour barely made a sound, even though it should have clinked, and somehow she was unnaturally dark, even in the well-lit room. The glowing red coals that passed for her eyes stood out against her blackness, as did the glowing bow she was holding. Several bodies were still lying around, and were in the process of being dragged out by undead soldiers in Forsaken colours.
Up until a few hours ago, the town had belonged to the Scarlet Crusade. They'd felt very high and mighty behind their stone walls and inside their petty fortifications, until the Banshee Queen herself arrived at the front gates. Everything had basically gone to pot from there onwards. All those who hadn't run like dogs had died like dogs. It had been a very short battle.
Sylvanas glowered around, to make sure no one was slacking off. She raised a long eyebrow at a Forsaken who was eating one of the dead crusaders. The Forsaken henceforth dragged his disgusting choice of meal out of the hall.
Oh well.
One more body disposed of with fitting disregard for the deceased's dignity.
Sylvanas turned on her heel, and stalked across the room to where Archmage Darral was examining several dusty-looking books. Evidently, the books were magical. Also evident was their lack of use. Typical of the light-blinded fools of the crusade to distrust the arcane. When Darral saw Sylvanas approaching, he quickly put on a fake smile.
"Well? What of the enchantments surrounding Dalaran? Is there anything that can pierce their cretinous bubble here, or have I wasted my time driving out the crusaders?" Sylvanas barked at Darral.
"Hardly a waste, Dark Lady. At least now the crimson curs no longer hold it."
"It is a waste because I have not enough troops to garrison this fort, and it was acting as a buffer that was preventing the Scourge from moving any further towards the ruined capitol from this direction. Those books had better hold something that makes such a waste worthwhile, Archmage."
"Eer... uh... no, no they don't, I am afraid. They are valuable, but-"
"What do you MEAN, they don't!?"
"Dark Lady, I am sorry, but I doubt there is any way to pierce the shield. It was not my idea to come here seeking these tomes, you know."
"No it wasn't. But you validated the Warlock's claims, did you not? Nonetheless, the Banshee Queen forgives you."
Sylvanas span around without another word, and walked away from Darral. Darral, for his part, almost groaned with relief. He'd expected something rather more painful than a mere conversation from Sylvanas, but as he'd somehow escaped with his life, he chose not to push it, and contained the sigh.
Sylvanas was almost back to the spot where she started, when a small Forsaken, who had obviously been an adolescent in life, came rushing through the doors, and headed directly to the Queen. This would not have been unusual. One did not take his time when delivering news to the Dark Lady. What was unusual was the fact that he was drenched in blood and appeared to be singed.
Sylvanas fixed him with her glowing stare as he approached. The stare said, "What hastens you?".
The reply came quickly. The Forsaken sank to his knees, and began babbling at Sylvanas' knees. The room went quiet, and dozens of curious stares were directed towards the newcomer.
"They... too many... I... Coming here!"
"What? Speak slowly!"
"We... Scouting party... We were patrolling north... Army of..."
Sylvanas was interested now. She picked the babbling idiot up by his shoulder and set him down again in front of her. She squeezed his arm, allowing the sharp fingertips of her metal gloves to dig into his flesh. She glowered at his downturned head, willing him to look at her. And as though mind controlled, he obeyed, staring fearfully back into Sylvanas' gaze.
"Army of?"
"What kind?"
"How many?"
"Several hundred."
Sylvanas released him, finished with her questioning. The spell was immediately broken, and the Forsaken went back into panic mode. Sylvanas ignored him, and began issuing orders as the room came back to life around her. There was much babble of "We're doomed" "There are too many" and "We'll never be gone in time".
"Barricade all of the doors. Call all friendly units into this building immediately. Set fire to the other buildings."
"Are we going to hold out in this hall, my queen?"
"Absolutely not. The barricades are a distraction. We are going to have our Goblin support teams rig this place for a journey straight to hell. By the time they get through the barricades, they'll be going with it."
The Forsaken were suddenly buzzing, carrying out their Queen's orders to the letter. Several short green people with long, pointy ears appeared, and began setting up an array of obscenely large bombs in the center of the room. Sylvanas walked to the plinth at the east wall, to avoid spooking the engineers and being blown up. Which would, of course, be unfortunate and annoying. None of the Forsaken bothered to ask Sylvanas were they were going after the bombs were set up and the Scarlet Army arrived. She had led each and every one of them into certain death before, and they'd always come back alive. At least, most of them.

(Part 2) - 10-11-2010, 03:38 PM
This is part two of the story above. Because it was too long to put into one post.
Within ten minutes, the hall had been thoroughly barricaded, with stone blocks taken from the rubble that had once been proud stone walls. The siege engines that had been used to bring down said walls were now hidden nearby, and would be returned for at a later date. It was too bothersome to deal with them now.
The Banshee Queen sat upon the magistrate's chair, taping her clawed metal gauntlet on the armrest. The orc shaman she had brought with her had consulted the elements, and reported the army was mere minutes away.
Sylvanas leaned forward, and, raising her voice, shouted down the hall at the Goblins grouped in the center.
"Step on it! I require those explosives to be ready in the next thirty seconds. Consequences if they are not will be dire."
Sylvanas sat back, and, deciding that they were working just fast enough for her liking, turned her attention to the mages working to her left.
"Darral. Is the circle ready?"
"Ready to transport a few, milady, but not everyone in this hall."
"Draw it faster then."
Darral was quick to set about drawing it faster. He'd survived failing Sylvanas once today, and it was very unlikely he'd be as lucky the second time. Particularly if failing the second time meant that they would all die.
Soon, the sounds of hooves were heavy outside. The counter-attackers had arrived. Sylvanas tweaked a long, elven ear as she heard their cannons open fire on her barricades. She placed her chin on her hand, leaning sideways on her chair. A Goblin came rushing up to her, green brow dripping with sweat.
"The bomb is ready, Dark Lady! This place is gonna be the mother of all explosions in five minutes!"
Five minutes.
"Eeh, yeah. You said five minutes, miss?"
"I said fifteen, you imbecile."
"Oh. D'oh!"
Without another word, Sylvanas stood. The Goblin took an apprehensive step back, just as Sylvanas had guessed he would. She tensed, and then aimed a sharp kick at the Green midget. The punted Goblin yelped as the kick sent him flying over the wooden railing and well across the room.
"Goblins. You have one minute to increase the power of the bomb by three times. It will have to be powerful enough to consume this building, the barricades on it and most importantly the army grouped around. The Banshee Queen demands it."
The Goblins nodded, and instantly began working. Even faster now than before.
That's what seeing your comrade be kicked like a football will do to you when you're under a meter tall.
Sylvanas folded her arms and gave the mage standing next to her the evil eye. The mage understood and nodded.
"Yes, milady, the circle is finished. I have only to say the words and we'll be back in the Undercity."
"Excellent work, Darral. Consider yourself redeemed."
There were several loud bangs as something or other hit the side of the building- probably more cannonfire. Many of the Forsaken swayed alarmingly as the entire structure shook, but Sylvanas remained bolt upright.
"Kill the lights."
The order was obeyed at once, with all lights instantly being turned off. The white ghostlight that shone out of the Forsaken's eyes were the only points of brightness in the room. All of them turned toward Sylvanas, and she glanced upwards. Unlike most of the other undead around her, she was a Banshee, and as such, her eyes cast a baleful red glow in front of her.
Above her, several other red eyes stared down. Sylvanas blinked. This was the signal for her dark rangers- her most trusted champions, most of whom were also Banshees -to open the windows high above the hall, which they had climbed up to, and unleash a rain of arrows on the crusader army. She had specifically asked her rangers not to shoot to kill, but rather harass the enemy. Even while she'd been giving the order, Sylvanas had known that some of them would be too full of hate for the living to resist killing a few. Not that it mattered.
There were cries and shouts from outside as Sylvanas' orders were followed. The crusaders began attacking with renewed vigour, and the building shook with renewed attacks. Sylvanas' ears picked up hooves; the crusaders were moving closer to the hall. There were several thumps and streaks of red as her rangers dropped from their positions down into the crowd of Forsaken.
Sylvanas opened her mouth and spoke to the mages next to her.
"Take us out of here. Now."
The mages began chanting all at once, and the magical circle lit up with blue light. The light crept out, taking hold of the other Forsaken in the room, as well as Sylvanas herself. The light flared, blindingly, and when it died down, there was not a single Undead left in the room. They'd all gone.
Just as the timer on the bomb hit zero.
The blast began as a small gout of flame, which seemed to shrink down and then suddenly bloomed outwards. The building was blown out from inside. The massive fireball continued to swell, killing many of the crusaders near the building. The resulting rain of debris from the hall itself killed even more, and was followed by a string of afterexplosions as the cannons surrounding the building exploded one by one. All in all, out of the four hundred crusaders who had come to attack the Forsaken holding the building, only eighty remained.
A short way away, as the blasts flared in the inky dark, Sylvanas Windrunner cracked a rare smile. There was nothing pleasant or happy about this smile; it just indicated the Sylvanas was very pleased at the outcome of the situation. The circle had been written to transport her to the hill, so she could watch, and the other Forsaken back to the Undercity.
Sylvanas reared back her head and laughed scornfully into the night. She laced the cackle with Banshee magic, causing it to carry over to the already dismayed crusaders and panic them more. Before they could determine the source of the laughter and come looking for her, the Dark Lady twisted on the spot, and the surrounding darkness engulfed her.
When the shadows slinked backwards to their spots, Sylvanas was gone.

H&M summer collections help increase profits
Posted at: 09/26/2013 4:35 AM
(AP) STOCKHOLM - Fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz AB says its third-quarter profit swelled by nearly a quarter thanks to strong sales, particularly in China and Japan, and the popularity of its summer collections.
The Swedish company said Thursday that its net profit in the June to August period was 4.4 billion kronor ($690 million), 22 percent higher than the 3.6 billion kronor it made the year before, and it expects earnings to continue to grow. Revenue was 32 billion kronor, up from 28.8 billion kronor a year earlier
H&M's share price was up more than 6 percent at 280.30 kronor in early trading on the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
CEO Karl-Johan Persson was upbeat about the outlook, describing the August launch of an online store in the U.S. as being "very well received by customers." He said the company's "offering stands up well in the world's largest online market" and that H&M also had successful openings this year of new stores in Lithuania, Serbia, Chile and Estonia.
During the first three weeks of this month, sales increased 8 percent in local currencies compared with the same period in 2012, the company said. It noted, however, that differences in calendar dates with last year would shave 2 percentage points off the month's sales growth.
H&M opened 215 new stores worldwide during the past nine months and said it was on target to increase the number of new retail outlets by 10-15 percent annually, with "continued high profitability."
Founded in 1947, H&M has 2,964 stores worldwide, up from 2,629 a year earlier, including franchises and stores under its other brand names. H&M said it would also continue expanding the groups' other brands _ COS, Monki, Weekday, Cheap Monday and Other Stories. It employs some 100,000 people globally.

A black-tie gala christened the sparkling new J. Craig Venter Institute, a zero-carbon, net-zero-energy genomics lab.
Former Vice President Al Gore was the headliner for the evening. Also on hand was Pradeep Khosla, the chancellor of UC San Diego, where Venter attended and dreamed of being a scientist.

I'd like to walk using only my mouse, for accessibility reasons, as I can do in some games like Diablo. I searched and didn't find any way.
Is there a game option to do this? Is there some other way to play that doesn't require my left hand for WASD walk keys?

No one is trying to denigrate the importance of a good education. We all know that it is crucial for success.
denigrating the talents and achievements of women
Did You Know?
If you "denigrate" someone, you attempt to blacken their reputation. It makes sense, therefore, that "denigrate" can be traced back to the Latin verb denigrare, meaning "to blacken." When "denigrate" was first used in English in the 16th century, it meant to cast aspersions on someone's character or reputation. Eventually, it developed a second sense of "to make black" ("factory smoke denigrated the sky"), but this sense is somewhat rare in modern usage. Nowadays, of course, "denigrate" can also refer to belittling the worth or importance of someone or something.
Origin and Etymology of denigrate
Latin denigratus, past participle of denigrare, from de- + nigrare to blacken, from nigr-, niger black
First Known Use: 1526

Seagate Barracuda 3.5" Internal Hard Drive for $109.99 + free shipping
Green ST2000DL003 2TB 5900 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
Use code EMCNENF23. Good deal for a big drive, especially if you have a sled or are building your own. Good through May 10.

And it's not even refurbished!
I'm not a huge fan of Seagate products, prefer Western Digital. At this price, though, I may have to bite the bullet :)
The prices are starting to get back to pre flood levels.
comment on my own post :)
GOSH!!! I was looking at the 6GB/s and thinking this was a 6GB drive - not so!!
Save yourself headaches and get the Western Digital for $10.00 more. You'll be happy you did.
@voovfeegbean: I'd rather get this drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152245
For $10 more, go with the SAMSUNG EcoGreen F4 HD204UI. It's a 5400 RPM drive that runs faster, quieter and cooler than any 5900 RPM drive.
I have 14 of these drives, bought my last set of five Jan 2011 for $80 each. They run 365/24/7. Not a single failure, DOA, etc.
I also have 8 HITACHI Deskstar 5K3000 HDS5C3020ALA632 (0F12117) 2TB which are nice and I've only had one start to go bad and Hitachi replaced it right away. But they are currently selling for $130, I didn't more than $70 for mine. But they too run 365/24/7.
I don't trust Seagate or WD for low end drives. Their 10K SCSI and SAS drives are great, but VERY costly.
We need the sub $85 price points back for 2tb drives!!!
@mschauber: I have a couple of those Hitachi drives in my server in RAID 1. They've been running 24-7 for close to a year and half with no issues. It was a tough decision between the Hitachi drives and the Samsungs.
It's too bad that Samsung was bought by Seagate. Samsung made top notch drives at a very reasonable price. I have 4 Samsung F3 1TB drives that have been going strong for years.
@voovfeegbean: Sorry man, your delusional if you think the quality on either of them are better than the other any more. I have replaced more HDD's in the last 2 years from both Seagate and WD then I have in my previous 20 years of dealing with computers.
QC is all but non existent any more, with all the work and support being done overseas it's cheaper for them to RMA drives that fail then to do good QC on them before they leave the factory.
@bigcheeze: Just noticed this... Delusional! Wow, pretty strong word for my preference on HD! You didn't mention what drive you are replacing Seagates and WD with!

With summer just around the corner, EDM fans have had one thing on their minds – Electric Daisy Carnival. EDC has nearly doubled in size each year until it hit capacity for every venue where it has taken place. This year was no exception, with EDC 2012 selling out for the very first time with estimated 300,000 attendees over a span of three days. EDC has been held at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for the last several years, where it has built its reputation as one of largest electronic dance music events in the world. With interest in EDM rising at exponential levels, EDC needed a much bigger venue, and so it would make sense that its new home is at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Las Vegas, the EDM capital of America.
When I close my eyes, I can imagine myself entering The Carnival for the very first time. Walking through the pitch-black tunnels of the over 1000-acre venue, my body begins to feel the intense bass coming from the seven massive stages, featuring hundreds of the world's most famous DJs who represent Electronic Dance Music. The vibes of sound could be felt as I run my hands across the walls. As I begin to wander towards the end of the tunnel, I see the dim glow of lights pulsing in rhythm. With each step forward, it becomes harder to breathe. My heart skips every other beat, while my legs feel like they're about to give out. As I approach the end of the tunnel and take my first step into the open, I could feel the cool summer breeze blasting against my body, I could smell the scent of fresh daisies in the air, and I could hear the sound of music cascading into the night. 100,000 have come together to become united under the electric sky. This is the Electric Daisy Carnival.
Day one of The Carnival is always the most exciting because expectations are high and it's the culmination of a yearlong wait for EDM fans. On opening day, the wait and lines are always the longest. The normal travel time from The Strip to the Speedway takes twenty minutes on average, but during EDC weekend it can take anywhere from one to three hours, depening on if you can even find transportation. In my case, I purchased a shuttle pass from a private company who had no idea what they were in for. Naturally, they overbooked the shuttles and so hundreds of people looked like they were ready to start a riot when I arrived at the pickup location. "P.L.U.R people! P.L.U.R.!" Peace, Love, Unity, and Respect. The eager crowd was angry with the organizers of the private shuttles, but everyone kept calm, and reassured each other that the night was still young and that everyone would make it to EDC eventually. The organizers knew they underestimated the size of the crowd, and decided to pay out of their own pockets to rent limos and taxis in order for everyone to get there on time. This is what I love about EDM events. The culture and crowd is just different from any other music event, it's something you have to be a part of yourself to truly understand. Once we finally make it to the venue, things begin to go smoothly. With 19 years of experience, Insomniac really knows how to throw a party. All possible gates are open for entry, rails were constructed to keep the lines in order, and security was quick and efficient. I made it into the venue just before 12am and the event ends at 5am each day, plenty of time to rage from dusk till dawn.
So what makes fans come back for day two and three? If you experienced one day, you've experienced them all right? Wrong! Insomniac knows exactly what to do to keep the fans wanting more. Day one was the teaser day, meant to give fans a glimpse of what's in store for the rest of the weekend. The DJs are strategically scheduled to spin at certain days and times in order for fans to create their own itinerary. Many of the DJs are flying in from out of the country to EDC just to spin for a 1 hour set, so fans will have to go multiple days if they want to catch their favorite artists. Everything that didn't go right on day one was fixed for days two and three. The traffic wasn't nearly as bad on day two because fans left for EDC much earlier. I entered through the gates just before sunset, a first for me, and the view of the Carnival was just beautiful. It was refreshing to see how The Carnival transforms from a calm beautiful setting during the day to the colorful 100,000 people massive at night. Day two was the day I planned to go all out, and all was going according to plan until the Vegas winds started picking up. I looked up at the ceiling of circutGROUNDS, the massive open trance stage with arches that loom over the crowd, and I could see the huge speakers swaying back and forth as a result of the wind. About 30 minutes later, the entire production suddenly stopped. An announcement was made that due to high winds the event would have to be postponed until the winds subsided. At this point, thousands of people were scattered throughout the venue, both inside and outside, and among the bleachers. There were people crying, depressed, and looking for their loved ones. This scene reminded me of a scene from the Titanic! Nevertheless, fans remained upbeat during the intermission by playing music on their phones and dancing. Around 2AM Insomniac released a statement that they had to shut down EDC for the night due to safety concerns. Much like the 100,000 in attendance, I was very disappointed, until I watched this video:
I would like to take my hat off to the CEO of Insomniac, Rotella Pasquale, who made the incredibly smart and correct decision to shut down day two of EDC for the safety of the fans and artists who were in attendance. Just because the second day ended early it doesn't means the partying stopped, as many of the DJs decided to make special guest appearances at the nightclubs on The Strip.
To make up for Mother Nature's wrath the day before, Insomniac decided to let everyone who purchased a day two ticket attend day three. Once again, hats off to the production company, as they were not obligated to do this, but they wanted to make their dedicated fans happy. EDC organizers wanted to make the last night even more special by several artists who could not perform the previous day to the lineup. In addition to the added sets, two spectacular firework shows were also added to the last night of EDC. The last night of EDC for me was a day to take a step back and soak everything in. I wanted to explore one last time on the last night of EDC to make sure I hadn't missed anything. My girlfriend and I decided to ride all of the carnival rides and look at all the artwork because people tend to forget that EDC is actually a carnival with lots of things to do!
This was my fourth time attending EDC and the experience was just as memorable as my first. Words can only describe so much, while a picture is only worth a thousand words. If you want to engage yourself in this experience of a lifetime, mark your calendars for EDC 2013.

How to Make a Handmade HoodWritten by on December 20, 2013 Metalworking 101 - Part 1
Metalworking is basic: Understand the metal—and the tools with which to manipulate it—and you can practically make it do anything you want. Whether it's as complex as hammering and forming a Deuce quarter-panel from scratch or, as we're about to show, bending up a custom Model 40 hood from sheet aluminum, there's not much you can't transform a flat piece of metal into.
The will to achieve must be followed by the will to learn, be it from others or, as many of the "others" have done, by trial and error themselves. Knowing the limits of the metal media in which you're working is as important as knowing precisely how to "stretch" each piece to those particular limits, through both the tools and the processes that are required to do so. Maybe not so much basic in the literal sense of the term, but with time come the skills, and with those skills the shapes of your desires literally come to life!
OK, enough with the corniness. To illustrate exactly what we're talking about, we made a few stops by Fabian Valdez's shop, Vintage Hammer Garage in Riverside, California. This issue, he'll walk us through the process of working a sheet of aluminum into a custom, handmade hood. We'll follow that up (two issues from now, as next month we'll be devoting an entire issue to R&C's 60th anniversary) with the ancient art of punching louvers. Enjoy!

Kirov's AD, Vaziyev, to resign?
Posted 27 March 2008 - 06:53 AM
Honestly though, I think that someone else, with an idea of taste (Ratmansky, where are you???) and innovative ideas needs to come in. I don't want to see 300 Swan Lakes, but I do want to see 20 and other ballets, all done Well.
Posted 27 March 2008 - 01:22 PM
But on the 'iev' question - there are two problems here. If we wrote Vaziev consistently with the way we write 'Nureyev' would we not write Vaziyev? And re the 'v', if you have the wonderfully funny Caryl Brahms book 'A Bullet in the Ballet', you will see that Stroganoff is the company's director (as in Diaghileff - the old-fashioned spelling). This only reflects the care that Europeans took at first to get the sounds right - the 'v' sounds like 'ff' at the end of the word. (You see how they put an 'h' after the 'g' in 'Diaghileff' -- it is because in English and French 'g' before 'i' becomes softened, like 'ginger' or 'gîte', and they wanted to help us get it right.) Beef Stroganoff seems, perhaps for sentimental reasons, to have retained the 'ff', where now Stroganov would, I think, be acceptable as in Romanov.
On the subject of Matilde Kshesinskaya, one of the hardest-to-transliterate names, her original name would be spelled in English as 'Matilda Krzhesinska', as her father was Polish. I am assuming that the Kshesinskaya (or the short version Kshessinska) was the French version as the Tsar's court only spoke French. She is not, by the way, Kchessinska, which I have seen from time to time. KCH would have different letters in Cyrillic. Also it is Matilda, or French-version Matilde, not Mathilda.
The Tchaikovsky/ Chekhov anomaly arises from the fact that Russian names were first Europeanised into French, whose alphabet does not have the same sounds as the English. 'Ch' in French would be 'sh' in English - as in 'Chat'/ cat or 'Chopin' - so I suppose that Chaikovsky would be pronounced 'Shaikovsky'. So they put the T first. Maybe the English cottoned onto Chekhov before the French did and were happy to transliterate the sound into Ch as in Church. (Nureyev became Noureev in French - just to confuse matters further). I do not know how the French write 'Chekhov', with a T? Also there is the Polish factor, that 'w' can sound like 'v', so you see Tchaikowsky.
Where we get into deep water is the Shch and Io (= Yo, but not as in Yo bruv/my man) sounds. According to my studies, there is no real reason, as far as I can see, why Rodion Shchedrin (the composer and husband of Plisetskaya) should not be Roden Schedrin - as we routinely write Gorbachev, not Gorbachyoff as per pronunciation, and we write Soloviev and Vishneva, when actually the sound should make them Soloviyoff and Vishnyova, and we often write Khruschev, when it should probably be Khrushchyoff. I think that my conclusion has to be that we should just go with the flow and do as the French do with consistency. I now wish that I had not begun this.
Posted 27 March 2008 - 01:57 PM
No, no, no. It's fascinating! It helps us with pronunciation ... and also when Googling.
I now wish that I had not begun this.
I especially appreciate your insights into French transliteration.
Thanks also to Catherine, earlier in the thread. It always thrills me to see the way ballet people are often so knowledgeable about many fields.

...I think that my conclusion has to be that we should just go with the flow and do as the French do with consistency.

The NYCB website says the following about its Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux:
You have to love the pronunciation.
Language: French
Pronounced: chi-kov-ski pah deuh dew
Meaning: A dance for two set to the music of Peter Ilyich Tschaikovsky
Posted 27 March 2008 - 03:49 PM
"Deuh"?? As in ?
Going with the flow sounds good to me. It certainly seems okay for he US's two biggest companies. ABT dances to Tchaikovsky, NYCB to Tschaikovsy.

Although fondu could be phonetically transliterated as fon-dew.
A travesty they actually wrote that!
I have often heard the "tchii" at the beginning of Tchaikovsky when spoken by Russians. This makes sense as, in Russian, the first syllable of a word is very very very rarely accented (unlike in English), and an unaccented vowel is declined/spoken differently than an accented vowel. Open vowel sounds in Russian (A, for example) are never pronounced as A unless the accent is on that very syllable. So it would be Tchi-KOV-sky rather than TCHAI-kov-sky (or Tchai KOV sky) but in either case the emphasis shouldn't be on the first syllable. In sum I've heard that first syllable said both ways here.
To the previous question -- the government wouldn't announce anything as this was Vasiyev/Vasiev/Vaziev/Vaziyev's (however you prefer to spell it) zayavlenie but I also haven't seen anything official following his announcement either.
Posted 28 March 2008 - 06:29 AM
Also his first name, directly transliterated from Russian-to-English 'Vatslav', started with its original Polish 'Vaclav', where the Polish 'c' is pronounced 'ts'. This was perfectly transliterated into the Russian 'ts' character, but in French maybe it was taken as the Russian 'c' (which is pronounced 's') and therefore became 'Vaslav' in the French version, and therefore the standard English version, which makes two mispronunciations in one name. I think some people even sometimes say 'Vaklav', reading the 'c' as hard one, when they are for example talking of Vaclav Havel. So Vatslav/ Vaslav/ Vaklav = vats it all about?
incidentally many famous ballet dancers' names can be translated amusingly, as several Russian surnames are close to adjectival, and not always flatteringly. Yuliana Lopatkina's surname means 'little spade', or even 'little digger'. Diana Vishneva means 'Cherry girl'. Bessmertnova means 'immortal, undying'. Volochkova has an homonymical relationship to 'svolochka', a very rude diminutive of 'pig' . Zelensky means 'green man'. Nizhinsky/ Nijinsky means 'low to the ground, short', which is rather suitable for his height. Diaghil is the herb angelica, though I am not sure whether Diaghilev was the most angelic of men. Lopukhov means 'simpleton'. Lifar's name associates with the word 'lif' or 'lifchik', meaning bosom or bra. I am quite taken by the English homonymical aspect of 'lifchik' (bra) and the strong pictorial association of Lifar lifting a lady's, erm, chicks. Khrushchev means the son of a cockchafer. Talk about being born with a disadvantage.
Posted 28 March 2008 - 08:44 AM
And what, to get back to some semblance of the original topic, does Vasiyev/Vasiev(whatever) mean?
Posted 28 March 2008 - 11:03 AM
Bessmertnova means 'immortal, undying'.
But not for his jumps.
Nizhinky/ Nijinsky means 'low to the ground, short', which is rather suitable for his height
Posted 28 March 2008 - 11:35 AM
So it appears, according to today's NYTimes -- as per the March 28 '08 Links forum -- that Vaziyev is still waffling and may very well leave after the current season. So the cheer-leaders at the post-festival party last Sunday may be groaning in a month or two? Awwwwww...the emotion of it all!
Posted 28 March 2008 - 11:41 AM
Posted 28 March 2008 - 11:51 AM
According to the Times,
The Kirovs director, Makhar Vaziev, has given conflicting signals about whether he was leaving the company, saying as recently as Wednesday night that he was retiring, said Sergei Danilian, the companys promoter in New York. âOne day hes in; one day hes out,â Mr. Danilian said. The Maryinskys overall director, the conductor Valery Gergiev, said in an interview that he fully expected to Mr. Vaziev to come to New York. He acknowledged Mr. Vaziev was ânot totally happy,â and he said Mr. Vaziev told him he would discuss retiring this summer, once the busy Kirov season is over.
Posted 29 March 2008 - 09:37 AM
I can only interpret this to mean he is still serious about leaving and I suppose the Astoria announcement was made in order to ease immediate concerns (ie. they will have a director on the NY tour). Actually (as is very common in mass media today) the article does not say he is NOT coming to NYC and I did see his name on the flight lists (which left today, the 29th). It is clear he is not happy and has not been happy for some time, and the reasons for that unhappiness inside the MT are not changing, erego he wants to make a change and do something about it (ie leave). I personally would presume not to see him this fall, but it will be a lot of back and forth until we hit that point. I cannot see him truly leaving before the season ends though. Just intuition. And to his credit, I suppose, he is sticking to the initial plan -- therefore the zayavlenie, in essence, holds, and the date is TBD.

M eanwhile, Gergiev's pronouncements on the ballet's general aspect have unearthed that he dislikes Forsythe ballets being done in the Kirov, thinking that they are "not of our tradition", and he also disapproves of several recent new productions there. (It isn't stated whether this includes the "reconstructions") . He has lately shown interest in Yuriy Grigorovich, but the writer comments with heavy irony that apparently Maestro doesn't know about the existence of "foreign" classical ballet, such as Bournonville.
She also remarks that if Gergiev is now making blanket criticisms of the ballet policy -- which she says he did also in America, 5 years ago -- he himself is accounted as the policy's author, being the theatre's artistic director and in part the ballet's artistic director, a policy which Vaziev has only carried out for him since he himself has always been denied the title and job of artistic leader. The policy is: Petipa, Balanchine, leading contemporary ballet choreographers, and a smattering of Russians (yet not so far any interest in earlier "golden age" Soviet choreographers). If Gergiev disapproves of this, says the writer, he has made no alternative proposals. However Gergiev has mentioned that he longed, from childhood, to see a ballet based on 'The Tsar's Bride', has talked with Alexey Ratmansky about new productions, and he has, to give him his due, recalled some older stars of recent times, eg Makhalina, to pass on their experience.
For Vaziev the writer has a lot of sympathy. She says that all mistakes will be put down to his account, including of course Gergiev's -- since "Gergiev can hardly be wrong".

I would like to use 11.10 on my TV as a Mediacenter and more. The problem is that when I sit on my couch the icons in Unity dash (expanded, viewing all installed apps) are too small. Now I am wondering if one can increase their size, or if it is possible to just set the screen resoluton to 720p but (how?) view full hd movies in 1080p switching to 1080p in a easy way?
Any ideas?

How is it that atoms with equal numbers of protons and electrons are described as "electrically neutral" when the proton is 1,800 times more massive than the electron?
Do not confuse mass with charge. Although the proton is more massive, the magnitude of its positive charge is equal to the magnitude of the electron's negative charge. Hence, neutral atoms!
Due to different masses the charge distribution within an atom is a complicated function of distance. But outside the atom, at far distances the electric and magnetic fields become very small, nearly zero so at far distances the atom is like an empty space - nothing reveals its presence. If you do not touch it, you do not feel it.

According to Wikipedia, his real name was John Chapman. Is this true?
closed as not constructive by BrotherJack, Steven Drennon♦ May 4 '12 at 21:10
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
It is true that John Chapman existed, and it is also true that he became known as "Johnny Appleseed". I can't vouch for every word in his Wikipedia biography, but I don't see anything clearly outlandishly wrong in there.

Grid Column Resizing Problem in Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m
Ext version tested:
- Ext 4.2.0 Beta
- Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m (Windows 97)
- When displaying a grid (especially the infinite grid), resizing column headers does not cause the data columns to resize
- Launch the infinite grid sample from the SDK examples (extjs-4.2.0/examples/grid/infinite-scroll.html) in Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m (possibly other versions). Resize the column headers
- The column header and the width of the data column should be the same.
- If you make the header column smaller than the longest data item, the data column will not shrink to match the header. Instead of getting an ellipsis indicating data truncation, all of the data will be displayed.
Operating System:
- Windows 7

Not a bug. I had been playing around with user agent settings with the browser and I had forgotten that they were still in effect. When I switched back to using the regular Chrome user agent settings things worked fine.
Sorry for the erroneous post.

Yeah, I live on the cutting edge! (actually it was just a typo, but you probably knew that!)
