|Art Figures: Mathematics in Art. An Exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum
|Luca Pacioli by Jacopo de Barbari, 1495
The goal of the course is to study connections between mathematics and art and architecture. You will see how mathematics is not just about formulas and logic, but about patterns, symmetry, structure, shape and beauty. We will study topics like tilings, polyhedra and perspective.
After taking this course you will look at the world with new eyes and notice mathematical structures around you.
|Raphael's School of Athens, 1510-11
We start by studying tilings. They occur in many settings, and have a rich mathematical structure. The Platonic solids and polyhedra have inspired people throughout the ages. The golden ratio has fascinated many people, but we will take a critical look at whether it was really used in art and architecture. Symmetry and patterns are important in ornamental art in all cultures. Among the most famous are the Islamic patterns at Alhambra. Perspective originated in the Renaissance and changed the way we look at the world. Many artworks are rich in mathematical structure. We will look at the works of Escher and Holbein. Some of the applications of mathematics in architecture that we will look at are the Parthenon and military engineering. Other beautiful applications of geometry are kaleidoscopes, mazes and labyrinths, the fourth dimension and optical illusions. We finish by looking at applications of mathematics in music.
This course is one of the new General Education Modules at the NUS.
I will be away on conference leave from 6/1/04 to 12/1/04, so there will be no lectures on Tuesday 6/1 and Friday 9/1.
There will be three hours of lectures and one hour of large group tutorial each week. The time slots in 2003/2004 Semester 2 are Tuesday and Friday 10-12 in LT22. I will go from 10.00 to 10.50, take a 10 min break and go from 11.00 to 11.50. There will be two tutorial groups. The last session on Friday will be a large-group tutorial, and there will also be another tutorial group. You only need to attend one of these.
I use a cordless microphone and walk around in class and ask questions. But don't worry, I only ask easy questions! I also like to create physical demonstrations to illustrate the concepts, and I often need "volunteers" for this. I am not afraid of looking silly, and I hope you are not either!
If you send me e-mail, please use the module code GEK1518 in the subject. Otherwise you may end up in my spam folder. This is especially important if you use a non-NUS e-mail address.
The final exam counts 40% of your grade. You have to do a project that counts 30%. The projects are done in groups of four to six students. There will be also be two homework that count 15% each.
Please do the homework in the same group as you do the project. If you are planning to do a very special topic, and you're having a hard time finding somebody interested in it, I MAY also approve individual projects or groups of two or three. The chances of me approving such requests are best if you approach me early.
The first homework and the project proposal are due Tuesday 10/2/2004, the second homework is due Tuesday 2/3/2004, and the project is due Tuesday 9/3/2004. The exam will be Thursday 15/04/2004 pm.
Many topics will only be touched upon in lectures, and you may explore them further on your own in the projects. I have a list of possible topics, but I also encourage you to propose your own topics and send them to me for approval. I hope that you will be able to find something that you are enthusiastic about. However, the project must have some scientific angle. I cannot be a pure arts or cultural project.
The project can be a normal paper project, a web page, a physical model or a combination of all these. I don't have any set rules about length or scope of the project, but I have some guidelines.
The project proposal should include the title, the names of the members of the group, a brief outline, and a list of the main references. One or two pages is enough.
Please submit the proposal, the project and the homework in both hard copy in class and soft copy in the IVLE workbin. I prefer to read the hard copy, so if you create a web page, please print out a hard copy, too. I realize that the print out may not do full justice to your web page, but it will give me time to read the text before I look at your page. If you have animations or other things that you can't print out, please include a note where you indicate which parts of the web site I should look more closely at.
If the project is a web page and you have a server to put it on, you can just submit a file with the URL. However, I would appreciate it if you could also give me the files on a CD, or zip the files into one file and upload.
If your project includes a physical model, please let me know if you want it back. Some of them I may ask to keep, but some of them are too bulky, and I must either throw them away or return them to you quickly.
I have a page with links to some past projects.
The first homework is to make paper models of the five Platonic solids and the thirteen Archimedean solids. The second is to collect five pictures (per person) of mathematically interesting objects around you. So if there are x people in your group, I expect 5x pictures. I have a page with some highlights from the second homework.
|Julians Bower turf labyrinth - Alkborough, Humberside, England - medieval
I have a course page at IVLE, the Integrated Virtual Learning Environment at the NUS. It has a discussion forum that I encourage you to use.
Unfortunately, there's no text that is suitable. Some of the material will be taken from books like:
I have compiled a list of additional references.
Please also consult my rough lecture notes.
We start by studying the geometry behind the Egyptian pyramids. A lot of this is controversial, see the paper by Markowsky.
The golden ratio and proportions were important in Greek culture. A lot of this is controversial, see the paper by Markowsky.
|Find out more about the polyhedra my student Kavitha and I have made with Zome System.
|Platonic solids from Kepler's Mysterium Cosmographicum, 1596
You can read more on my page about polyhedra.
|Flagellation of Christ by Piero della Francesca, late 1450s; in the National Gallery of the Marches, Urbino, Italy.
Next comes the Renaissance and the origin of perspective and projective geometry.
Many scholars believe that the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675) used a camera obscura.
The painter David Hockney believes that optical aids were used even earlier. This is a more controversial theory.
|The Ambassadors (1533), by Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/8 - 1543)
The Ambassadors by Holbein is a famous example of Anamorphosis. Do you see the strange object on the floor? Close your left eye, put your face close to the computer screen near the right side of the picture. You will then see a skull! If you can't get it to work, you can cheat and look at a picture of it. Please check out my page about The Ambassadors by Holbein.
We also look at the work of Dürer and da Vinci.
|Vitruvius man in Leonardo's notebook
|Albrecht Dürer, 1525
|Mandala by Timothy Hamons
Ornamental patterns are important in all cultures. Among the most famous are the Islamic patterns at Alhambra. This brings in symmetry groups and crystallography. We study symmetry in the plane and the wallpaper and frieze groups. Symmetry of Rugs gives a nice overview of the 17 wall paper groups.
One frequently asked question is whether all the 17 wall paper groups can be found in the Alhambra. In her 1944 thesis, Edith Müller found 11, and not 17 as has often been claimed. Two more were described in Branko Grünbaum, Zdenka Grünbaum and G.C. Shephard, Symmetry in Moorish and Other Ornaments, Comp. Math. Appl, 12B (1986), 641-653. R. Péres-Gómez, The Four Regular Mosaics Missing in the Alhambra, Comp. Math. Appl., 14 (1987), 133-137, claims to have found the last four. However, as far as I can tell, he does NOT include a picture of p3m1. You may also want to look at Coxeter's review in Math. Review. José María Montesinos includes pictures of all 17 in his book "Classical Tessellations and Three-Manifolds", but I don't understand how he manages to see p3m1 in his pictures. If anybody can clear this up for me, I would be very grateful.
|Fatehpur Sikri, Tomb of Salim Chishti, 1573-4. From Blair and Bloom, The Art and Architecture of Islam, p. 273.
We will also study Penrose tiles.
|Penrose tiles
|Jali, red sandstone, Rajasthan, late 17th/18th century, Asian Civilisations Museum's collection, Singapore
|Wooden panel, 18th - 19th centuries, North Africa (probably Morocco), Asian Civilisations Museum's collection, Singapore
|Hampton Court maze
|Hampton Court maze
Many ornamental patterns are related to topology, for example mazes. Is there a difference between a maze and a labyrinth? Traditionally, the terms have been considered to be synonymous, but around 1990 people interested in the spiritual aspects of labyrinths devised a terminology where a labyrinth is unicursal and a maze multicursal. This means that a labyrinth has only one path with no branches and no dead ends, in other words, no choice, while a maze is a logical puzzle with branches and possibly dead ends.
|Cretan labyrinth
Unfortunately, there are problems with this terminology. Theseus would not need Ariadne's thread in a labyrinth, and the turf mazes in Britain have been called turf mazes all along, although most of them are unicursal.
|Labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral. Photo: Jeff Saward.
|Circle Limit III by M.C. Escher, 1959
The work of Escher is rich in mathematical content. Much of it is related to hyperbolic geometry.
|Kaleidoscope from Kiera.com
The kaleidoscope is a beautiful application of geometry. It was invented by Sir David Brewster, a Scottish scientist, in 1816. He named his invention after the Greek words, kalos or beautiful, eidos or form, and scopos or watcher. So kaleidoscope means the beautiful form watcher. Brewster's kaleidoscope was a tube containing loose pieces of colored glass and other pretty objects, reflected by mirrors or glass lenses set at angles, that created patterns when viewed through the end of the tube.
Ever since Pythagoras, there has been a close relationship between mathematics and music.
Here are some rough lectures notes. They are under construction!
I have a separate page for past homework.
I have a separate page for past projects.
Most of the topics we talk about in lecture can be extended to projects. Here are some suggestions. I also encourage you to propose your own topics and send them to me for approval.
I have a separate web page with references.

On the Street….Winter Coats with Great Design Detail
CommentsClose comment
86 comments
uhh, yeah…
it's rick owens!
but those jeans and boots just kill the look, yuck! they might as well be uggs.
The boots and the jeans look great on her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the woman in the background looks fantastic too!
rick owens is a genius… i would die to have one of his jackets.
LOVE the boots!!!
gorgeous jacket, great pic!
Great jacket but would prefer a longer version (three-quarter). The boots are way cheeky. I love the way the fringes flip as she walks.
She looks beautiful! I love how every piece she's wearing moves with her.
Lovely. And I love the american apparel leggings of the woman in the back (or is it just a super tight jeans.
fantastic design. looks like a poncho!, but it isnt.
I'm fans of the jacket for sure but I agree with anon on the jeans…somethings not working.
This is an interesting picture!
But the other woman in the back looks great as well!!
I just LOOOOVE Emmanuelle Alt! She is such an inspiration! It is amazing how she can make the black so vivid!
Are those Louboutin boots? They are pretty fabulous!
i want that jacket real bad!
both women look good.
she looks good, but the woman on the background looks fantastic!
I love what the women is wearing in the background!
I agree in that a Rick Owens jacket would be like a good pair of cowboy boots, a large investment but something for keeps. I do wonder how it zips up. In this case and subject, I happen to like the jeans and boots, slim legs balance the look, IMHO. Jorge from W Palm Beach
The background woman looks great…I think the focus of your shot has a great look (she must be built like a goddess), and she looks confident and comfortable. I don't think it would be fair to dissect her looks as she seems to be pulling it off without any glitches. The look on her beautiful classic face says it all.
Love the Rick Owens, but not the Louboutins.
you've made me LOVE her.
If I'm not mistaken, that's GĂ©raldine Saglio in the background.
I love that look. I so wish I was tall and skinny to wear it!! ;)
I love the ro, but it wouldn't last as a winter coat! She's starting to grow on me.
I love the movement in this shot.
This may be a re-post, but I think the woman in the background is Anh Duong. Hi Anh.
modern day pocahantas
Love the body of the coat but not the sleeves. Even on someone this thin the sleeves look very snug. It's not especially flattering, and I can imagine how anyone could wear anything with sleeves under it.
Those Christian Louboutin shoes in the second pic is to DIE for!! I have a pair and can't get enough of them <3
I think the wonderful thing about Emmanuelle Alt is that she is always able to make dramatic articles of clothing (like zebra or leopard print)look understated-that's probably why she's a phenominal fashion director as well. She's also mastered the art of looking at ease, even when she's wearing sky-high Christian Louboutins. To me, Emmanuelle always looks like the Parisian take on the Ramones.
I'm envious of Geraldine.
god i miss living in paris, jardins tuileries?
I wanna see Batgirl in the background….
I love everything about both the woman in the foreground, and the woman in the background. The woman with the Rick Owens jacket somehow manages to make those boots look amazine, and not cliche. And the woman in the back, well, I think her pants are leather, and I think she looks amazing in them.
the woman in the back is what i would dress like if i wouldnt attract gawkers in the good ole midwest. so fantastic.
The boots are great but absolutely ruin the outfit.
But she's got the shiniest hair!! I'm very jealous!
The girl in the back looks good too! She's got these dark hard outfit on but the warmest genuine smile on her face! Are these leather pants?
Love it!
Maybe because I'm in my 40′s, I can't help but smile at seeing the slightly sinister Mugler/Montana influence on designers such as Owens and Junya Watanabe, etc.
(and Neil Barrett, who I like better than Owens)
As in Mugler/Montana, the coat is ripe with edgy details……and of course, the all important zipper.
Can you offer any great suggestions for staying fashionable in extreme cold winter conditions? I try my best up here in Canada but sometimes practically takes over in order to stay warm!!:)
Nice…love the black, dark brown & gray together. The coat's drape is beautiful, & the boots (I think Louboutin?) add further movement & a graceful edginess.
OMG…I can never get bored of EMANUELLE. She is the mega queen of the P-Voguettes. Thank you Cool Meister for the definition of Emanuelle as the "Parisian take on the Ramones". I'll take that one along for the ride. She can pull of the Loubs and TAME them with her androgynous flair…
the woman behind the main figure is by far the most striking!
The woman behind her– stunning. She gets the magic of leather, blazers, and black open toed heels.
the rick owen looks undeniably good on her;
she's oozing confidence
Simply cool!
The woman in the background is fabulous!!! I love the strong shoulders that don't veer too far into the '80s; her whole silhouette is coooool.
Hey Sart…could you find some people who look fabulous when it's really, really cold outside and there's lots of snow to wade through? I'm tired of looking like I'm on a ski holiday when out shopping in winter…
I think I prefer the girl at the back.
aughhh amazing.
i actually looked at this photo for a good two minutes before i noticed the woman in the foreground. the woman on the right in the background completely stole the point of focus for me. she is stunning.
the jacket is gorgeous. But I am not fan of the mix. I would have wear more edgy shoes, something unexepcted.
But do understand the lady, find the perfect mix is not easy for a Rick's stuffs, unless you choose all Rick from head to toes.
Advice some Ann Demeulemester shoes or boots with this jacket and pants.
La Brigade de la Mode
those shoes on the second pic is Fendi I think..not Louboutin..gosh..its to die for!!
Two amazing pairs of legs
those sleeves are super uncomfortable too!
Emmanuelle Alt is beyond fabulous! Very French! Very chic! ALL the time!
Geraldine (woman in the background) has a fabulous style as well (if I am not mistake those are Balmain second skin leather pant she'd got on).
Thanks Sart for yet another FABULOUS post!
Well said, Cool Meister
I love the uniqueness of the jacket there and I know the focus is on the lady in front..but I cannot help but notice the lady in the background- love what she is wearing as well
For those who feel ambivalent about this look, go to garancedore.fr and search Emmanuelle Alt. There is a photo(taken of Emmanuelle on the same day) which might give some a different appreciation of the outfit… Or you might just dislike it even more.
yeah, her look is kinda behind the times! I mean skinny jeans and ugg(ly)- looking boots? She could be from Philly! The jacket, while something different, is not very forward either. Thumbs down on the whole look!
The woman in the background should have gotten a photograph of her own! She looks amazing!
what kind of land is this where all the women are so terrible parisienne chic
yes here's that other photo….
who is this chick anyway?
THAT woman in the back makes the image. her fendi sandals and those trausers. definately better look than the first. i agree the coat looks great.
It's a great coat, but how warm could it possibly be if the woman in the background is comfortable wearing open toe shoes and a light jacket on the same day?
I agree with thesartorialist, and would love to see more winter coats that have design details and actually keep you warm. Though it seems that they're hard to find on the street because they're hard to find in stores.
This shot is amazing! Love her pose!
fantastic coat!
I like Alt. She is so natural, wears very little, if any, makeup.
She and Carine both have a Owens jacket I'd like to own.
She was such long legs that skinny jeans seem made for her.
Ahh Rick Owens! *drool* The boots are great, but I do agree about something being off with the jeans. Maybe if they were a more structured, stiffer, darker kind? Idk, I can't quite put my finger on it. She still looks fantastic.
just love geraldine saglio *.*
those boots are not uggs its Louboutin!!
I simpy adore Emanuelle – she never overdoes it. Always really understated, almost monochrome. She is playing with shades of black/grey and different textures here – it's her pins and the effortless chic attitude that make her stand out from the crowd.
Need to have that coat. So fantastic!
Maybe you should have profiled the girl to her left…
Hmmm, in my opinion, I like her, the jacket, and the boots. Though, I hate them all together. I think there's way too much going on–in a bad way.
I am sorry, but I think the pretty lady in the background is the one that is more striking.
I love this blog so much…I find myself thinking about some of the ensembles that I've seen on here when I get dressed in the morning.
I nominated you for a 2009 weblog award. you are amazing. I freaking love this place.
I like this outfit, but not as a whole. I can appreciate the proportions– fuller jacket, fitted bottom, and boot, but I feel like the jacket should be the focus of the outfit, not the boots; simply put I think that the boots are to trendy to be anything meaningful. She is trying to do to many trends at once, and it can come across a bit cheesy. The boots, for me at least would look better with tights, a flow dress, a cardigan, and a belt, the simplicity of the upper half would make the boots the center of the outfit. Now, the woman in the background is effortlessly stylish, without being over bearing, she is doing a trend (leather legging/pants) correctly by pairing it with a classic fitted blazer.
this jacket is absolutely amazing..
oh asymmetrical lines… how i love you.
I really adore Emanuelle alt rick owens 's jacket really look great .. I love her messy hair with gorgeous colthes it's a real fashion …. U can't learn it from a book but I think it come form herself characther.. but i don't think a girl behind her so stylish because i'm really bored with this style leather jacket with blazer maybe it's look good on her but it's something boring..
i love everything about her outfit!!!
emmanuel alt , genius ♥
ugh those louboutins. ridic.
Emmanuelle Alt is my idol! Amazing.
Can I ask what camera you're shooting on?
I love style of Emanuelle alt is rock but fresh ….
love the Rick owens 's jacket…
but i'm boring girl behind her i alwalys see this style on the street leather jacket with blazer OMg is something boring not individual style… But it might be good on her
Wow! She looks awesome. The boots are really fantastic. I love boots and it suits on any outfit and in every season and in every occasion. They have unique style which looks trendy on any costume and in fashion. Nice picture. http://buydiscountcowboyboots.com/
too bad we can not afford the wonderful texture and design of the originals, the copies don't
make it the same.
Love the Rick Owens, but not the Louboutins.
perfect outfit, the boots and the coats are beautiful, but the model also lovely, but not so lovely. I think the girl at the back are perfect for that outfit. hmmm…
And few years later I saw this post. How convinient of me.
Jacket-Rick Owens, boots-Isabel Marant. Vogue Paris redaction captured- I love!

Useful stuff, thanks for posting. One day soon I hope to pull back from my US research and look at Scottish family again.

Thank you for the interesting summary. I wasn't there and this is a good way of finding out what went on.

Thanks for the mention of my blog. When I was sitting in the audience yesterday tutting at the lack of respect with which certain Edinburgh records have been treated I had no idea my own 'archive' was in such distress (source now traced to a dripping pipe connected to the washing machine)!
I enjoyed all the talks yesterday, especially the one on the Episcopal Church as I have recently been doing some research using Episcopal records (although from transcriptions only).
Let us know if you find out where 'Scottish Catholic Family History' can be bought as I didn't get a chance to pick up a copy yesterday and haven't been able to find it online.

Thanks for posting this Chris, great to meet up again yesterday in Edinburgh, I hope we'll manage to work together in Angus soon.

chris, thanks for the plug about the scottish catholic family history guide. it really did just come off the press for the conference so i haven't updated our website yet, but it can be ordered from the scottish catholic archives - I'll get the details online on monday!

Thanks Andrew, it's a great guide, and thanks also for such an informative talk!
Sheila - will be in touch tomorrow!
- 27 June 2011 at 00:18
Too bad I'm so far away, I would have loved to have been there for the talks.
I'm interested in what interesting sources there are for Edinburgh episcopal records. I know some records are held by the Edinburgh City Archives and some by the NAS, but others still seem to be held by the churches themselves, and I haven't had much luck trying to contact them.
You mentioned transcriptions Kirsty?

Hi Tunji, as with most denominations, some records have been published. On episcopal records, for example, I have a CD here reproducing an old printed copy of Muthill episcopal baptisms from 1697-1847. There is a list of additional transcribed and indexed holdings at the ScotlandsPeople Centre in Edinburgh available at http://www.scotlandspeoplehub.gov.uk/pdf/church-episcopal.pdf.
Also, D. J. Steel's National Index of Parish Registers Vol. 12 has a list entitled Registers of he Scottish Episcopal Church (Appendix 2, p.244) which lists records he was aware of at the time of writing the book, which states "All registers are in the hands of the incumbent unless otherwise stated". This includes some notes of transcribed sources.
Tristram did mention that some records are held in university archives and in county archives, so try SCAN and relevant university catalogues (mainly Aberdeen and Glasgow). An alternative source he mentioned were registers of confirmations (as with the Catholic church), kids usually being baptised circa 12 years of age (though it varied), which sometimes note where people were baptised. There are also rolls of the Scottish Episcopal Church Friendly Society from 1794 (I think at NRS).
- 27 June 2011 at 10:27
- The Professional Descendant said...
Hi Tunji,
I was interested in records from St Paul's Episcopal Chapel in Aberdeen, some of which have been transcribed by both the Spalding Club and A Strath Maxwell (both these transcriptions are on the ScotlandsPeople list Chris linked to).
If you happen to be interested in this chapel, the Spalding Club transcription is available on the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org/stream/miscellanynewsp00smitgoog/miscellanynewsp00smitgoog_djvu.txt and it is also indexed on the ANESFHS Databank at http://www.anesfhs.org.uk/databank/
Probably not much use to you if you can't get to Edinburgh, but both Edinburgh Central Library and the Scottish Genealogy Society library have a good collection of the available Episcopal transcriptions.

Hello Chris:
Thanks for the mention on your blog post. It was great to meet up with you again and be able to chat longer. Can't wait to have a read at your new book you are working on that you told me about. Sounds like another winner. :) All the best, Carolyn
- 27 June 2011 at 14:41

No probs Carolyn, and thanks for being such good company on the train back! Until the next time...!

still, it seems that the amazing race team are putting more and more "contestant taking off clothes" task in the race.I wonder if there's a reason?I'd laugh though if this is the first amazing race episode that excites people in a different way.........never mind
RB in Denmark (recite Hans Christian Andersen)Detour in Brussels, Belgium (Bodybuilding OR )it seems a long way from Copenhagen to Billund, do you think the teams will drive? Copenhagen --> Billund --> Brusselsdo you think the teams will fly from Billund to Brussels?
Who can find the theatre??
They are assembling/doing something in the teacups, look at the table. Perhaps Lego?
So you guys are saying, their going from the pitstop to Billund, where they do that teacup challenge, then go somewhere else in Denmark and do the roadblock, and then go to Belgium to do the Detour?

Do you wear tattoos? Do you like (or love) them? This blog is not just about that. But more about the bare skin... and about the actual skin... About the traces your own will, someone else's, or just bad (or good) luck left on it. They tell something about your history, let us guess about your past. This blog is asking you wether these traces should be shown... because, at the end, they could even be beautiful! And, anyway, they tell something strong about you!

COVER- Under the radar and dreaming: Who's next to break out of the Charlottesville scene?
It's been more than 14 years since Charlottesville began its upward trajectory in the music world from sleepy college town to music industry hot spot. That's when Dave Matthews Band became Charlottesville's most famous musical export since Thomas Jefferson's violin with the release of the band's major label debut Under the Table and Dreaming on September 27, 1994.
Since then, DMB's manager Coran Capshaw has built a music business empire with Red Light Management, MusicToday (now destined for Ticketmaster ownership), and ATO Records. Meanwhile, his Charlottesville Pavilion and UVA's John Paul Jones Arena have attracted the biggest names in rock 'n roll to town, and even the Rolling Stones and soon U2 will become the first and second acts to play Scott Stadium since DMB's big homecoming in 2001.
And yet, we're still trying to find the next big homegrown act to follow in Dave and company's path up into the musical stratosphere. For the last three years, the Hook has tried to identify that next big thing, and we've picked up on some promising leads. Both Parachute and Sons Of Bill have graced our annual music issue's pages, and now both will have their new albums in record stores across the country this summer.
So who's next? We asked six local experts with their ear to the ground to tell us what rumblings they're hearing on the horizon. Keep your ears and eyes open, folks. Otherwise, you just might miss them on their rise to the top.
Will Anderson
...on the Hill and Wood: So good. I've only heard a few songs, but they had me from the first few seconds. They've been on repeat on my iPod.
I Can Say What You Want
...on Straight Punch to the Crotch: Flat out awesome. No need to say more.
Robot Baby
When Animals Attack
Summer Sun and Firecrackers
...on Trees on Fire: We've been spinning Organica Volume 1 obscene amounts in our van. The musicianship, the harmonies, the songs, it all adds up to some great, great tunes.
In The Middle
...on Alex Mejias: I can't stress this enough– he's charismatic, he's got great songs, and he can go the distance!
...on Once Was: Full disclosure, I'm the guitarist's brother. That said, I think they've got a great sound. Like a younger version of us.
Brad Savage
...on Chick Tragic and the Roosters: Their lead singer Carleigh Nesbit is going to be a superstar. Her original songs are so well-written they sound like covers that everyone should know. For the All-American girl who upon first glance seems like she'd be more poised for the popular crowd than an Americana-loving, Dylan-and-Richard-Thompson loving songwriter, I believe that in five to 10 years we will look back on Carleigh Nesbit and say, "I remember when..."
Three Steps Out The Door
River Run Dry
Turn On The Heat
Your City Skies
...on the Sometime Favorites: I'm a sucker for a great pop song, and the Sometime Favorites have many. Thier original material is solid, and their live shows feature enough good covers to bring in new converts every time they play.
All Along
What You Wanted
We Are
Can't Stop Fighting It
...on the Hill and Wood: This Paul Simon-inspired, Rusted Root-esque jammy folkie band has built up quite a UVA following, and recently won the 2009 UVA Battle of The Bands. A very Charlottesville-appropriate band with their jam style. Plus any band that takes their name from a funeral home is A-OK with me!
I Can Say What You Want
...on Red Satellites: This up-and-coming act is highly influenced by Bowie, T. Rex, and glam/space-rock of the mid '70s. They seem to be well on their way.
...on Genna Matthew: One of the brightest up-coming stars from the Music Resource Center, 18-year-old Genna Matthew recently played a solo gig at the Pavilion, her biggest show to date. Well-crafted female folk/indie/pop songs with great vocals.
Anne Williams
...on Byron Massie: This young man from Nelson County writes country songs. He's either won Rapunzel's songwriting contest or placed over and over again.
...on the Hill and Wood: I saw them the night after they won the UVA Battle of the Bands. Well-crafted songs, good melodies, and an adoring crowd makes for an excellent concert experience.
I Can Say What You Want
..on Chick Tragic and the Roosters: Individually, Carleigh Nesbit and Carl Anderson are great songwriters, but together supporting each others work, singing harmony, with Carleigh on rhythm guitar and Carl on lead, brings out the best in each others work. Carl won the songwriting contest that I judged at Rapunzel's.
Three Steps Out The Door
Passing Through
Train Song
...on Nathan Moore: With a new online release, You Yeah Smokin' Hot, Nathan seems to be continually writing good songs.
Gotta Make It
Understand Under
Gotta Be
When A Woman
...on Trent Wrangler and Steelwheels: They're a bluegrass-flavored outfit from Harrisonburg. They have so much energy when they perform, and Trent is an outstanding songwriter. I am hoping that Charlottesville will open its heart to this group so they will regularly get to play on this side of the Blue Ridge.
Terry Martin
...on the Honey Dewdrops: They're the hottest thing I've heard in Charlottesville right now. They're a bluegrass duo, and they're just pure raw talent.
Nowhere To Stand
Fly Away Free
...on the Ex Porn Stars: They're a sort of funk, jam band who always draw a good crowd when they play.
..on 6 Day Bender: Their set recently at Fridays After 5 was pretty good; they're probably second only to the Honey Dewdrops for entertainment value.
Kick Out The Fire
Devil Lets You Dance
...on Trees on Fire: Promising. They're also trying to do the whole poppy, jam band thing, and they do that pretty well.
In The Middle
...on Sin City Revival: To tell the truth, nobody in Charlottesville really packs my club the way these guys from Richmond do. They're a sort of Southern rock, à la Black Crowes. They're working harder than just about anyone in Charlottesville.
Jamie Sisley
...on In Technicolor: If I can't say Parachute or Sons Of Bill because they're both managed by Red Light, I think I'm seeing the same thing with these guys in that they're starting to cultivate a high school and college following. They're a mix between the songwriting style of the Beatles and the showmanship of Of Montreal. I always leave their shows feeling happy.
...on Q*Black: I'm consistently blown away by this amazing hip-hop artist. I'm shocked he isn't bigger than what he is right now. I'd compare his lyrics to Digable Planets, or even Mos Def. I hesitate to classify him as a regional artist, because he's got a sound that's ready to go national.
...on the Cinnamon Band: They're a great two-piece that's starting to get some attention. Their lyrics are some of the best I've heard in a while from anyone. They write catchy songs, but they also do more subdued and serious stuff.
...on the Sam Wilson Band: He's the lead guitarist from Sons Of Bill, and his solo project is a little more alt-country like Ryan Adams or Wilco. His lyrics are always deep and thoughtful, and he's such a great guitarist live.
A Melody Instead
In The Morning
Once In Your Life
Green Gates
...on Joia Wood: I caught her at the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar recently. She immediately caught my attention. She sounds a little like Jeff Buckley.
To Do
James Wilson
...on Rob Martin: Not too far back, I was substitute teaching at my alma mater Western Albemarle High School, and this student gives me his first CD From Where We Began when he saw me in the hallway. The musicality and subtlety of the whole record, from the songs to the playing, is really mature beyond his years. If he sticks with it, and is willing to throw his life away, I could really see him going far in many different aspects of music.
...on the Hill and Wood: Their frontman Sam Bush is a great songwriter and a great singer, and as their live show gets more polished I really think that people are gonna take notice of it in this town. His voice reminds me a lot of Ben Bridwell from Band of Horses, but it's much more approachable, and you can just tell he's a great guy even from the stage.
I Can Say What You Want
...on Birdlips: I'm not much of scenester– when the little keyboards come out, I'm usually the first one out the door– but Birdlips seems to be up to something different. They certainly don't let their aesthetic stand in for the work of songwriting.
Tire Chains
Some Kind Of Death
...on Carl Anderson: Carl just reminds me of me. Is that shameless? Both of us are aping Steve Earle as much as we can while hoping to sidestep his divorces and addictions. But he's a natural songwriter and singer. I really hope he keeps playing and sticks with it.
...on Peyton Tochterman: Peyton is just a great songwriter, a great frontman, and a great player. If he can't make it in this industry, then there is something wrong with the industry.
Mamma's genes

Pratibha Patil ran a bill of Rs 18 crore on her last trip
The chartering of the Air India Boeing 747-400 jumbo for her two-nation trip to South Africa and Seychelles from April 29 to May 8 last year alone cost Rs 16.38 crore, the airline said in an RTI reply.
In addition, an expenditure of Rs 1.46 crore was incurred in Pretoria -- the South African capital. Of this, Rs 71.82 lakh was spent on local stay, 52.33 lakh on transportation and 22.12 lakh on miscellaneous expenditure.
In Durban, an expenditure of Rs 23.55 lakh was incurred. Of this hotel stay alone cost nearly 18 lakh and transportation was Rs 5.27 lakh.
The details about the lodging and other expenditures in South Africa were provided by the Indian Missions in Pretoria and Durban under RTI.
A huge controversy broke out last year when it was revealed that Patil had incurred an expenditure of Rs 205 crore on her 12 foreign trips covering 22 countries across four continents during her five-year term which ended on July 25 last year.
These figures were provided before she undertook the last visit to South Africa and Seychelles. The Rashtrapati Bhavan had then defended these visits terming them "necessary" to deepen bilateral cooperation.
The visits were undertaken after careful appraisal and recommendation by the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of External Affairs.

ROCHESTER — 4-H'ers in Strafford County gathered at Pickering Ponds Recreation Area in Rochester on Saturday, April 20 to celebrate Earth Day.
The event was inspired by a 4-H youth leadership retreat in January when area 4-H'ers decided to host a local clean up. Following that retreat, the event became incorporated with the programs organized by Rochester Recreation Department to recognize Earth Day.
As part of the event, youth took part in "trash dash" and "trash bingo" to mix a clean-up effort with a little friendly competition. Youth made guesses about what sort of trash would be most prevalent (plastic bags, cigarette butts), but also found some pretty unusual things — including a cabinet set!
Around the pond were educational signs that a local 4-H club had created, including information on area birds and fish, tips for eliminating pollution and also a summary of some famous ecological disasters.
Four special visitors rounded out the day at Pickering Pond.
Local birders Dan Hubbard and Tom Chase shared their expertise and passion for birds, and amazed everyone with tales of the 40 species common to the recreation area. UNH marine biology student Crystal Wilson ('13) brought a bucket of freshly caught macro-invertebrates from the Cocheco River and explained to youth about the different species of organisms and also how they serve as pollution indicators in local waterways.
Finally, Officer Anthony DeLuca of the Rochester Police Department also stopped by to share in the fun and answer questions about his experiences with the local force.
4-H's core tenets include healthy living, science education and striving to be good citizens. In learning about local ecology and pollution problems, 4-H'ers deepened their understanding of biodiversity and the effects of pollution on the environment and animal species. The guest speakers and the dedication to a clean-up effort at a local recreation area reinforced 4-H's goal of raising engaged, productive citizens in local communities. Finally, 4-H'ers connected to healthy living through some good outdoor exercise and a discussion of healthy living habits which also reduce pollution.
4-H is a youth development program of the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and is open to all youth ages 5-18. There are a variety of ways to be involved, including joining community and after school clubs or attending one-time and short-term events. For more information, please contact Jillian Hall, Strafford County 4-H Program Coordinator at 516-8112, or by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Atherosclerosis and Cardiovascular Disease
Atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease take a huge toll on our society. More than 81 million Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease, making it the leading cause of death in the country. As of 2006, cardiovascular disease was responsible for at least one in every 2.9 deaths in the United States (American Heart Association: Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics 2010).
Despite the fact that cardiovascular disease is the single most deadly disease in the United States, most individuals, including most mainstream physicians, have a flawed fundamental understanding of the disease. The fact is, long before any symptoms are clinically evident, vascular disease begins as a malfunction of specialized cells that line our arteries. These cells, called endothelial cells, are the key to atherosclerosis and underlying endothelial dysfunction is the central feature of this dreaded disease.
Not every person who suffers from atherosclerosis presents with the risk factors commonly associated with the condition, such as elevated cholesterol, but every single person with atherosclerosis has endothelial dysfunction. Aging humans are faced with an onslaught of atherogenic risk factors that, over time, contribute to endothelial dysfunction and the development of atherosclerosis.
Maturing individuals must address all of the underlying factors that contribute to endothelial dysfunction if they are striving to protect themselves from the ravages of vascular disease. Regrettably, mainstream medicine has failed to identify and correct all of the cardiovascular disease risk factors. This means that people wishing to stave off atherosclerosis must take matters into their own hands to ensure that all underlying causes are effectively neutralized.
In the antiquated view of mainstream medicine, blood vessels have been thought of as stiff pipes that gradually become clogged with excess cholesterol circulating in the bloodstream. The solution that physicians recommend most often is cholesterol-lowering drugs, which target only a very small number of the numerous factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease.
Conventional medicine's preferred method of reestablishing blood flow in clogged vessels is through surgery (coronary artery bypass graft surgery) or by insertion of catheters bearing tiny balloons that crush the plaque deposits against the arterial walls (angioplasty), followed by the implantation of tiny mesh tubes (stents) to keep the blood vessels open. However, the grafts used to reestablish blood flow often develop plaque deposits themselves. The same was true for balloon angioplasty; in their early years, up to half of all angioplasty procedures "failed" when the arteries gradually closed again. Even today, with the use of improved stents, the failure rate is considerable and many people have to undergo repeat angioplasty or even surgery.
Endothelial Dysfunction: The Underlying Cause of All Vascular Diseases
The cause and progression of vascular disease is intimately related to the health of the inner arterial wall. Blood vessels are composed of three layers. The outer layer is mostly connective tissue and provides structure to the layers beneath. The middle layer is smooth muscle; it contracts and dilates to control blood flow and maintain blood pressure. The inner lining consists of a thin layer of endothelial cells (the endothelium), which provides a smooth, protective surface. Endothelial cells prevent toxic, blood-borne substances from penetrating the smooth muscle of the blood vessel.
However, as we age, a barrage of atherogenic factors, if left unchecked, damages the delicate endothelial cells. This damage leads to endothelial dysfunction and ultimately allows lipids and toxins to penetrate the endothelial layer and enter the smooth muscle cells. This results in the initiation of an oxidative and inflammatory cascade that culminates in the development of plaque deposits. Subsequently, these plaques begin to calcify and, over time, become prone to rupture. If a plaque deposit ruptures, the result is oftentimes a deadly blood clot.
If people do not take steps to correct the endothelial dysfunction occurring in their aging bodies, the consequence will be a worsening of the epidemic of arterial disease that currently kills 35% of Americans and 30% of all people worldwide (American Heart Association: Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics 2010). Sadly, mainstream medicine continuously fails patients by prescribing drugs that address only a very small number of risk factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of vascular disease.
Numerous factors that directly contribute to endothelial dysfunction have been identified and aging individuals can easily assess their risk for vascular disease through blood testing. The results of these blood tests can then be used to develop targeted intervention strategies to modify levels of risk factors that do not fall within an optimal range. Atherogenic factors that all aging individuals must be aware of include:

|CjOverkill SECURITY CjOverkill security patches and discussion
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
My Cjoverkill has been hacked
My cjoverkill (version: 4.1.2), was hacked by some Islam-Group. Very strange. Today i went to my website, and didn`t see MY website, but some weird other website(with some text like: 'hacked by blabla' , 'Allah is the greatest' etc.). Why and how they did it, i don`t know. The website has very low vistors.
You can still look at it trough google`s cache (because i allready 'fixed' the problem on the site)
The website i`m talking about is the first(pornogames.ws). You don`t have to go to the page itself, because you won`t see anything anymore. But when you go the google`s cache you can still see what weird group hacked my CJ. (it has been there for 3 weeks, since i didn`t look at it in these 3 weeks.)
I will try to explain exactly what i did, so maybe you people can pinpoint where the problem lies.
Firstly i deleted: in.php , this didn`t help.
2: I went into the database, and deleted old PHPBB-forum database entries from it. This wasn`t working anymore , but i forgot to delete it months ago. The forum-files wern`t on the server anymore, just the database entries.
3: When the forum-entries were deleted from the database, the page was gone, i now could see my own frontpage again. But, out.php etc. still wasn`t working (when i clicked those pages, i again got that weird website).
4: I deleted al cj-related files. The problem was solved, because i only got that website if i clicked a CJ-related php file.
5: I installed the newest CJ on another website, and i made pornogames.ws one of the sites in the network. Uploaded in.php and out.php etc. And it now works all fine.
I really don`t know how they did it. It looks to me that the phpbb database entries are related, because the frontpage turned back normal when i deleted those. The cj was defenitly 'infected' , because every CJ page i clicked, i got that website again. Other pages worked fine
I really don`t know if this is usefull, but maybe it is. And i also know that it is important to update the CJ over time. But i don`t look at my website often I now have the newest version, and i fully trust you people that it is secure.
English isn`t my native language. So don`t mind the typo`s
I guess it's something phpbb related since you confirm that when phpbb was deleted the problem was gone.
Anyways, if you used the same password for your phpbb and your CjOverkill install, then most probably they just sucked the password from phpbb.
Other option would be to infect the cj-conf file using an old phpbb bug present on insecure php installations.
Version 4.1.x has no reported security bugs, anyways I will take a look at that closely just in case.
My Cjoverkill has been hacked
I found my 3 servers was hacked by "KabuS". I found all my customers index was replace by "Hacked By The KabuS" page.
I found the index file nothing change. But all index page redirect to page "Hacked By The KabuS". Anybody can consult me?
Sorry for the late reply
CjOverkill doesn't write to other files other than the toplist ones. Also is nothing in the code that would allow it to write to your site files.
Check that your site script is using the latest version and that the file permissions on your site are correct.
My Cjoverkill has been hacked
just an update
I there is also a 2nd site on my account which also runs mambo, it had mambo 4.5.2, and its template has been also hacked
I upgraded the 2nd one to 4.5.6 and uploaded all fresh files but again after few hours both the sites have their template index.php replaced ?
I had also set permissions on index.php as 444 but it did not make any difference
i have checked the ftp logs and no one has logged in except me so it isnt related to the password thing
Please suggest that how can I troubleshoot this ?
Take a look at mambo.
Make sure you are using stable and bugfree modules and that your mambo installation is ok. It's known to be a very buggy CMS.
Also check your PC with an updated antivirus.

The cast of "Glee" said an emotional goodbye to Cory Monteith's character Finn Hudson in a tribute episode on Thursday night.
The episode opened with the cast singing "Seasons Of Love" before the characters were asked by their teacher Mr. Shue, played by Matthew Morrison, to perform tracks that remind them of Monteith's character.
Creator Ryan Murphy chose not to reveal how Hudson had died and instead picked up the storyline three weeks after his funeral.
Former "Glee" actors Amber Riley, Mark Salling and Harry Shum Jr. returned for the tribute episode, but Monteith's on-and-off-screen girlfriend Lea Michele didn't appear until the last 15 minutes of the episode to sing an emotional rendition of Bob Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love."
Following the broadcast, "Glee" star Kevin McHale tweeted, "Tonight's Glee was made out of a lot of love & a lot of tears by our incredible crew, cast & creators for our friend Cory. We miss you Cory", and Shum, Jr. adds, "Forever in our hearts. #finnhudson."

With Steve Jobs resigning his position as CEO of Apple, there's going to be a lot of nervous fanboys out there. Since his return in 1997, the Jobs has brought out wave after wave of top notch technology for the masses to enjoy. They swooned over the iMacs, they sighed after the iPod, they oohed and ahhed at the iPhone and erupted at the iPad. Just about every gadget geek out there has a little piece of Apple somewhere in their collection, even if it's gathering dust at the back of a draw. But. Is this all going to change now that El Jefe has kicked himself upstairs to the quiet climes of the board?
Well, that's largely going to be down to two big things. The first question is just how much Great Uncle Steve is going to dip his oar in when it comes to decision making? That we'll probably never really know the answer to, but the second thing to consider is just who's running the show now and does this famous five have what it takes to keep churning out the award winning products that the punters so love to use? Come with Pocket-lint and we'll introduce you to them.
The Boss
Tim Cook - CEO
With Jobs now the chairman of the board, the spotlight falls on 50-year-old Tim Cook as he slips into the biggest pair of boots that one could possibly imagine. If Cook's CV is anything to go by, the man is a machine.
As chief of operations at Apple for the last 5 years, Cook has been responsible for transforming the company from its previous guise as an overweight, unkempt but comfortably wealthy Californian into super-lean, uber-rich, LA jogaholic. Whereas Apple used to take care of much of the manufacturing of its own products, Cook shut down factories all over the world, streamlined out-goings by doing so and got Foxconn et al to do all the assembly and hard graft for them, and at much lower cost too.
The man has overseen the supply chain all the way from the top of one greasy link to the rusty one at the bottom, increasing company profits so dramatically that Apple is now officially the richest business in the world. He's had similar stints at computer companies Compaq and IBM for 12 years before taking up office in Cupertino, and he's a famous workaholic who's even been known to hold Sunday evening meetings with his staff over the phone to plan for the week ahead. A real party animal who'll often be found up at 4.30am...starting his day's work sending e-mails.
On top of his shrewd economic ways and his cast-iron work ethic, if you wanted further confirmation that the iPhone line isn't going to dry up just yet, he's even had experience of running the company before on three separate occasions. It's of very little surprise that Cook is the man Jobs has chosen to take over. The one area he seems to lack is in the creative department but, for that part of the proceedings, there's the next two guys.
The Creator
Jonathan Ive - SVP Industrial Design
If you asked someone to name two people at Apple, the second name out of their mouths would almost certainly be Jonathon Ive. Head of what is regarded as one of the finest design teams in the world, Ive has been responsible in no small way for Apple's latter day success as the man behind the look of the iMac, the PowerBooks, the MacBooks, the iPods, the iPhones, the iPad and just about everything made in either white plastic or brushed aluminium. It's obviously one of the key focuses of the company that its products are highly desirable, attractive and pleasing to hold and Ive will continue to make that so.
Reporting directly to Steve Jobs since the ex-CEO's return in 1997, reportedly the only feedback he would get from the big guy was along the lines of "but can we make it even better?". One would hope that Cook's fat trimming and economic expertise wouldn't quash that same ethic - particularly with Jobs not too far over his shoulder - but it's a possibility to consider. All the same, with Ive at the drawing board, your iDevice will always be pretty if nothing else.
The Software Guy
Scott Forstall - SVP, iOS software
With iPhone and iPad the most important products in Apple's current range, Scott Forstall's position as head of iOS software is of huge significance. At the company since Jobs' return in 1997, Forstall is one of the original architects of Mac OS X desktop software as well as the man behind the apps, the framework and the user interface of iOS. As much as Rovio might claim it, there would be no Angry Birds without Forstall.
The look and feel of Apple gadgets has become every bit a product of his creativity as it has Jonathan Ive's and, between the two execs, so long as they still feel the demanding presence of their former master as they work, then there's no reason to think that anyone will stop wanting to buy Apple. More to the point, Apple will continue to make idiot-proof and visually pleasing iDevices and there'll be no need to sweat until Forstall decides hed rather go and work for Motorola and Google.
The Marketeer
Phil Schiller - SVP, Product Marketing
Like many on the executive board, Phil Schiller has been with Apple since 1997 and indeed before, during a previous stint working with the company. With 24 years of experience in marketing, his CV is littered with technology companies including Macromedia where he served as vice president. His other roles at Apple have included looking after developer relationships, but he's most publicly recognised from his help at the keynote speeches where he often presents a section or two. In 2009 he solely took on the speaking responsibilities at both Macworld and WWDC where he announced the iPhone 3GS.
While perhaps not as instrumental on the same level as those above, his mark on the essence of the brand and what public perception of what the company is all about is clear. Yes, those adverts, the catchy names, the funky tunes and that slight suspicion that your iDevice is actually a better person than you, that's all Schiller and that's going nowhere either.
The Engineer
Bob Mansfield - SVP, Mac Hardware Engineering
With design and software taken care of by Ive and Forstall respectively, it falls to Bob Mansfield to make your kit actually work. Appointed to look after device hardware in 2010 when his former boss, Mark Papermaster, left the company after the iPhone 4 and Antennagate, Mansfield has the least top level experience.
Granted, he's been at the company since 1999 working on the insides of the the iMacs and MacBook Air range but, with just a year of reporting to Steve Jobs, device hardware management might need a closer eye from Cook than other departments. Although never the highest spec, the reliable hardware/software synergy has been the cornerstone of Apple's computing success. If the company is to march onwards and upwards there can be no mistakes here.
So, one genius megalomaniac aside, it's very much as you were around the table. All the ingredients that make the Apple products great are going nowhere. The only thing that's missing is that single-minded driving force that got them there in the first place. In fact, with so many of this famous five with direct working relationships with Steve Jobs for so very long, with so much experience between them and with the man himself not far away if they really need him, Apple gadgets are still in good hands all the way until they make it yours. The only time you need to start panicking is when one of them leaves.
Think we're wrong? Reckon it's doom and gloom? Think the Jobs effect will dissipate within a few years? Let us know in the comments.
