Béla Viktor János Bartók (March 25, 1881–September 26, 1945) was a Hungarian composer and pianist, considered to be one of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Through his collection and analytical study of folk music, he was one of the founders of ethnomusicology.
Béla was a small and sickly child. He suffered from a painful chronic rash until the age of five (Gillies 1990, 5). In 1888, when he was seven, his father (the director of an agricultural school) died suddenly. Béla's mother then took him and his sister, Erzsebet, to live in Nagyszőlős (today Vinogradiv, Ukraine), and then to Pozsony (German: Pressburg, today Bratislava, Slovakia). In Pozsony, Béla gave his first public recital at age eleven to a warm critical reception. Among the pieces he played was his own first composition, written two years previously: a short piece called "The Course of the Danube" (de Toth 1999). Shortly thereafter László Erkel accepted him as a pupil.
He studied piano under István Thoman, a former student of Franz Liszt, and composition under János Koessler at the Royal Academy of Music in Budapest from 1899 to 1903. There he met Zoltán Kodály, who influenced him greatly and became his lifelong friend and colleague. In 1903, Bartók wrote his first major orchestral work, Kossuth, a symphonic poem which honored Lajos Kossuth, hero of the Hungarian revolution of 1848.
The music of Richard Strauss, whom he met at the Budapest premiere of Also sprach Zarathustra in 1902, was the most significant influence on his early work. When visiting a holiday resort in the summer of 1904, Bartók overheard the eighteen-year-old nanny Lidi Dósa from Kibéd in Maros-Torda in Transylvania sing folk songs to the children under her care. This sparked his life long dedication to folk music. From 1907 his music also began to be influenced by Claude Debussy, whose compositions Kodály had brought back from Paris. Bartók's large-scale orchestral works were still in the style of Johannes Brahms and Richard Strauss, but also around this time he wrote a number of small piano pieces which show his growing interest in folk music. The first piece to show clear signs of this new interest is the String Quartet No. 1 in A minor (1908), which has folk-like elements in it.
In 1907, Bartók began teaching as a piano professor at the Royal Academy. This position freed him from touring Europe as a pianist and enabled him to stay in Hungary. Among his notable students were Fritz Reiner, Sir Georg Solti, György Sándor, Ernő Balogh, Lili Kraus, and, after Bartók moved to the United States, Jack Beeson and Violet Archer.
In 1908, inspired by both their own interest in folk music and by the contemporary resurgence of interest in traditional national culture, he and Kodály undertook an expedition into the countryside to collect and research old Magyar folk melodies. Their findings came as a surprise: Magyar folk music had previously been categorised as Gypsy music. The classic example of this misconception is Franz Liszt's famous Hungarian Rhapsodies for piano, which were based on popular art-songs performed by Gypsy bands of the time. In contrast, the old Magyar folk melodies discovered by Bartók and Kodály bore little resemblance to the popular music performed by these Gypsy bands. Instead, they found that many of the folk-songs are based on pentatonic scales similar to those in Oriental folk traditions, such as those of Central Asia and Siberia.
Bartók and Kodály quickly set about incorporating elements of real Magyar peasant music into their compositions. Both Bartók and Kodály frequently quoted folk songs verbatim and wrote pieces derived entirely from authentic folk melodies, for instance Bartók's two volumes of For Children for solo piano containing 80 folk tunes to which he wrote accompaniment. Bartók's style in his art music compositions was a synthesis of folk music, classicism, and modernism. Bartók's melodic and harmonic sense was profoundly influenced by the folk music of Hungary, Romania, and many other nations, and he was especially fond of the asymmetrical dance rhythms and pungent harmonies found in Bulgarian music. Most of Béla's early compositions offer a blend of nationalist and late Romanticism elements.
In 1909, Bartók married Márta Ziegler. Their son, Béla II, was born in 1910. In 1911, Bartók wrote what was to be his only opera, Bluebeard's Castle, dedicated to Márta. He entered it for a prize awarded by the Hungarian Fine Arts Commission, which rejected it out of hand as un-stageworthy (Leafstedt 1999). In 1917 Bartók revised the score in preparation for the 1918 première, for which he rewrote the ending. Following the 1919 revolution, he was pressured by the government to remove the name of the blacklisted librettist Béla Balázs (by then a refugee in Vienna) from the opera. Bluebeard's Castle received only one revival, in 1936, before Bartók emigrated. For the remainder of his life, although he was passionately devoted to Hungary, its people and its culture, he never felt much loyalty to its government or its official establishments.
After his disappointment over the Fine Arts Commission prize, Bartók wrote little for two or three years, preferring to concentrate on collecting and arranging folk music. He collected first in the Carpathian Basin (the then Kingdom of Hungary), where he notated Hungarian, Slovakian, Romanian and Bulgarian folk music. He also collected in Moldavia, Wallachia and in 1913 in Algeria. However, the outbreak of World War I forced him to stop these expeditions, and he returned to composing, writing the ballet The Wooden Prince in 1914–16 and the String Quartet No. 2 in 1915–17, both influenced by Debussy. It was The Wooden Prince which gave him some degree of international fame.
Raised as a Roman Catholic, Bartók had by his early adulthood become an atheist, and considered the existence of God as undecidable and unnecessary. He later became attracted to Unitarianism, and publicly converted to the Unitarian faith in 1916. His son later became president of the Hungarian Unitarian Church (Hughes 1999–2007).
He subsequently worked on another ballet, The Miraculous Mandarin influenced by Igor Stravinsky, Arnold Schoenberg, as well as Richard Strauss, following this up with his two violin sonatas (written in 1921 and 1922 respectively) which are harmonically and structurally some of the most complex pieces he wrote. The Miraculous Mandarin, a sordid modern story of prostitution, robbery, and murder, was started in 1918, but not performed until 1926 because of its sexual content. He wrote his third and fourth string quartets in 1927–28, after which his compositions demonstrate his mature style. Notable examples of this period are Divertimento for strings (1939) and Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936). The String Quartet No. 5 (1934) is written in somewhat more traditional style. Bartók wrote his sixth and last string quartet in 1939, the sadness of which has been related to the death of Bartók's mother and the looming war in Europe.
Bartók divorced Márta in 1923, and married a piano student, Ditta Pásztory. His second son, Péter, was born in 1924.
In 1936 he traveled to Turkey to collect and study folk music.
Bartók never became fully at home in the U.S. He initially found it difficult to compose. Although well-known in America as a pianist, ethnomusicologist, and teacher, he was not well known as a composer, and there was little interest in his music during his final years. He and his wife Ditta gave concerts. For several years, supported by a research grant, they worked on a large collection of Serbo-Croatian folk songs. Bartók's difficulties during his first years in the US were mitigated by publication royalties, teaching, and performance tours. While their finances were always precarious, it is a myth that he lived and died in poverty and neglect. There were enough supporters to ensure that there was sufficient money and work available for him to live on. Bartók generally refused outright charity. Though he was not a member of ASCAP, the society paid for any medical care he needed in his last two years and Bartók accepted this.
The first symptoms of his leukemia began in 1940, when his right shoulder began to show signs of stiffening. In 1942 symptoms increased, and he started having bouts of fever, but the disease was not diagnosed in spite of medical examinations. Finally, in April 1944, leukemia was diagnosed, but by this time little could be done. As his body failed, Bartók's creative energy reawakened and he produced a final set of masterpieces, partly thanks to the violinist Joseph Szigeti and the conductor Fritz Reiner (Reiner had been Bartók's friend and champion since his days as Bartók's student at the Royal Academy). Bartók's last work might well have been the String Quartet No. 6 but for Serge Koussevitsky's commission for the Concerto for Orchestra. Koussevitsky's Boston Symphony Orchestra premièred the work in December 1944 to highly positive reviews. Concerto for Orchestra quickly became Bartók's most popular work, although he did not live to see its full impact. He was also commissioned in 1944 by Yehudi Menuhin to write a Sonata for Solo Violin. In 1945 Bartók composed his Piano Concerto No. 3, a graceful and almost neo-classical work, and he began work on his Viola Concerto. He had not completed the scoring at his death.
Bartók died in New York from leukemia (specifically, of secondary polycythemia) on September 26, 1945 at age 64. His funeral was attended by only ten people, including his friend the pianist György Sándor (anon. 2006). Bartok's body was initially interred in Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, but during the final year of communist Hungary in the late 1980s, his remains were transferred to Budapest for a state funeral on July 7, 1988 with interment in Budapest's Farkasréti Cemetery.
He left his Third Piano Concerto almost finished at his death. For the Viola Concerto he only left rough notes. Both works were later completed by his pupil, Tibor Serly, but the Viola Concerto was never generally accepted as part of the Bartók canon. György Sándor was the soloist in the first performance of the Third Piano Concerto on February 8, 1946. The Viola Concerto was revised and polished in the 1990s by Peter Bartók, and this version is considered to be closer to what Bartók may have intended.
There is a statue of Béla Bartók in Brussels, Belgium near the central train station in a public square, Spanjeplein-Place d'Espagne. Another statue stands in London, opposite South Kensington Underground Station. Still another is in front of one of the houses that Bartók owned in the hills above Budapest, which is now a museum.
Bartók's music reflects two trends that dramatically changed the sound of music in the 20th century: the breakdown of the diatonic system of harmony that had served composers for the previous two hundred years (Griffiths, 7); and the revival of nationalism as a source for musical inspiration, a trend that began with Mikhail Glinka and Antonín Dvořák in the last half of the 19th century (Einstein, 332). In his search for new forms of tonality, Bartók turned to Hungarian folk music, as well as to other folk music of the Carpathian Basin and even of Algeria and Turkey; and in so doing he became influential in that stream of modernism which exploited indigenous music and techniques (Botstein, 6).
His music can be grouped roughly in accordance with the different periods in his life.
The question is, what are the ways in which peasant music is taken over and becomes transmuted into modern music? We may, for instance, take over a peasant melody unchanged or only slightly varied, write an accompaniment to it and possibly some opening and concluding phrases. This kind of work would show a certain analogy with Bach's treatment of chorales. [...] Another method [...] is the following: the composer does not make use of a real peasant melody but invents his own imitation of such melodies. There is no true difference between this method and the one described above. [...] There is yet a third way [...] Neither peasant melodies nor imitations of peasant melodies can be found in his music, but it is pervaded by the atmosphere of peasant music. In this case we may say, he has completely absorbed the idiom of peasant music which has become his musical mother tongue. (Bartók 1931/1976, 341–44.)
Bartók became first acquainted with Debussy's music in 1907 and regarded his music highly. In an interview in 1939 Bartók said
Debussy's great service to music was to reawaken among all musicians an awareness of harmony and its possibilities. In that, he was just as important as Beethoven, who revealed to us the possibilities of progressive form, or as Bach, who showed us the transcendent significance of counterpoint. Now, what I am always asking myself is this: is it possible to make a synthesis of these three great masters, a living synthesis that will be valid for our time? (Moreux 1953, 92)Debussy's influence is present in the Fourteen Bagatelles (1908). These made Ferruccio Busoni exclaim 'At last something truly new!' (Bartók, 1948, 2:83). Until 1911, Bartók composed widely differing works which ranged from adherence to romantic-style, to folk song arrangements and to his modernist opera Bluebeard's Castle. The negative reception of his work led him to focus on folk music research after 1911 and abandon composition with the exception of folk music arrangements (Gillies 1993, 404 and Stevens 1964, 47-49).
Bartók felt the result of the First World War as a personal tragedy (Stevens 1993, 3). Many regions he loved were severed from Hungary: Transylvania, the Banat where he was born, and Pozsony where his mother lived. Additionally, the hostile attitude towards Hungary of many successor states to the Austro-Hungarian empire largely prohibited his folk music research. Thrown largely onto himself, he experimented with extreme compositional practices. The summit is the Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 1. This last piece with an opus number (21) lacks clear melodies and almost lacks tonality. With the noteworthy Eight Improvisations on Hungarian Peasant Songs (1920), Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 2 (1922) and the sunny Dance Suite (1923, year of his second marriage), we have summed up all Bartók's works of 1919–25.
Among his masterworks are all the six String quartets (1908, 1917, 1927, 1928, 1934, and 1939), the Cantata Profana (1930, Bartók declared that this was the work he felt and professed to be his most personal "credo", Szabolcsi 1974, 186), the Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936), the Concerto for Orchestra (1943) and the Third Piano Concerto (1945).
Bartók also made a lasting contribution to the literature for younger students: for his son Péter's music lessons, he composed Mikrokosmos, a six-volume collection of graded piano pieces. It remains popular with piano teachers today.
Bartók is an influential modernist and his music used or may be analysed as containing various modernist techniques such as atonality, bitonality, attenuated harmonic function, polymodal chromaticism, projected sets, privileged patterns, and large set types used as source sets such as the equal tempered twelve tone aggregate, octatonic scale (and alpha chord), the diatonic and heptatonia seconda seven-note scales, and less often the whole tone scale and the primary pentatonic collection (Wilson 1992, 24–29).
He rarely used the simple aggregate actively to shape musical structure, though there are notable examples such as the second theme from the first movement of his Second Violin Concerto, commenting that he "wanted to show Schoenberg that one can use all twelve tones and still remain tonal" (Gillies 1990, 185). More thoroughly, in the first eight measures of the last movement of his Second Quartet, all notes gradually gather with the twelfth (G♭) sounding for the first time on the last beat of measure 8, marking the end of the first section. The aggregate is partitioned in the opening of the Third String Quartet with C♯–D–D♯–E in the accompaniment (strings) while the remaining pitch classes are used in the melody (violin 1) and more often as 7-35 (diatonic or "white-key" collection) and 5-35 (pentatonic or "black-key" collection) such as in no. 6 of the Eight Improvisations. There, the primary theme is on the black keys in the left hand, while the right accompanies with triads from the white keys. In measures 50–51 in the third movement of the Fourth Quartet, the first violin and 'cello play black-key chords, while the second violin and viola play stepwise diatonic lines (Wilson 1992, 25). On the other hand, from as early as the Suite for piano, op. 14 (1914), he occasionally employed a form of serialism based on compound interval cycles, some of which are maximally distributed, multi-aggregate cycles (Gollin 2007).
Ernő Lendvai (1971) analyses Bartók's works as being based on two opposing tonal systems, that of the acoustic scale and the axis system, as well as using the golden section as a structural principle.
Milton Babbitt, in his 1949 critique of Bartók's string quartets, criticized Bartók for using tonality and non tonal methods unique to each piece. Babbitt noted that "Bartók's solution was a specific one, it cannot be duplicated" (Babbitt 1949, 385). Bartók's use of "two organizational principles"—tonality for large scale relationships and the piece-specific method for moment to moment thematic elements—was a problem for Babbitt, who worried that the "highly attenuated tonality" requires extreme non-harmonic methods to create a feeling of closure (Babbitt 1949, 377–78).
One characteristic style of music is his Night music, which he used mostly in slow movements of multi-movement ensemble or orchestral compositions in his mature period. It is characterised by "eerie dissonances providing a backdrop to sounds of nature and lonely melodies" (Schneider 2006, 84). The third movement of his Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (Adagio) (which is used in the suspense film The Shining) is an example of Night music style.

Hey folks,
I need a little help with a problem with my Leisure Bay Smart Control console Series LB102. Keep getting the OH error.
So far I have, ran it with no filter, purged the filter with a hose to try to relieve air bubbles and sat there until it turned off and neither my circ pump, nor my stainless steel heating element were warm... Sometimes the error message will show up within 5 minutes and sometimes it will take hours...?? I can push the light switch and it will erase the error message and it will start heating again??
After as much research as I can do on this great site, I have concluded that I either need to replace a heating sensor or the circuit board. Should I try the heat sensors first? And if so, which one should I try to replace - or both? Is there a standard or do i need to find one specific to this tub?
Any help and conversation I can get on this would be much appreciated!!

Xiaomeng Li, an international student from Wuhan, China, came to Wilson College knowing she wanted to study mass communications, but she did not expect to add fine arts as a second major. Xiaomeng is now combining what she loves about both majors in her studies at graduate school.
Since graduating from Wilson in 2011, Xiaomeng has begun working toward a Master of Arts degree in new arts journalism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). She anticipates graduating from SAIC in 2013.
New arts journalism is one of SAIC's newer graduate school programs and it focuses on educating journalists who will specialize in reporting on art and cultural events and issues, according to Xiaomeng.
"We write about art (mostly reviews) from a journalistic approach," Xiaomeng said. "We may also incorporate some multimedia skills later on. Next semester, we are going to have a class that's specifically about web writing."
In the past, Xiaomeng's career goal had been to one day start her own magazine to promote cultural communications. "I'm not sure if that's still my goal," she said. "Though I still write about art and culture a lot, I feel there are more options that I need time to explore."
The transition from Wilson to SAIC was difficult for Xiaomeng. "The difference between a small city and a big city, between liberal arts and art school, is very intense and sometimes intimidating," she said. "Every encounter, problem or challenge has its value in my growth. Everything that happens in my life will help me figure out what I want to do and want to be."
Xiaomeng, who is a student worker in SAIC's Marketing/Communication Department, has been able to interview several artists and curators for the school's radio station, including famed sound artist Bill Fontana.
Xiameng made the most of the liberal arts experience she had at Wilson. In her senior year, her photos were shown in an exhibition called "It's All About You." In 2010, she designed the winning poster for the Orr Forum on Religion and also received third prize in the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition. In 2009, she won the Joanne Hopkins Award for poetry. She completed two internships, one at the Public Opinion newspaper in Chambersburg and one at Pittsburgh Magazine, where she interviewed people and wrote stories but primarily worked as a fact checker. In her senior year, she was co-editor of the Billboard.
"Wilson has helped me in every way of my life. I'm not exaggerating. It has perhaps shaped my entire life up to now," Xiaomeng said. "It taught me to really think about who I am and what I want to do. It prepared me to dream big and not be afraid of potential consequences."

I inherited a HydroSpa that had been prefessionally installed 3 years ago. It has been empty and unused for the past 2 years. I filled the tub and flipped the switch. Everything works, pump - lights and blower but I get error codes of the 3 flashing lights under the temp reading in all phases of pump on or off. There is no heat either. I replaced the filters. I turned the screw on the pressure switch 3 or 4 times in both directions, no result. I do have a light on in the center of the circuit board which I think indicates my Hi Limit sensor may be bad. I have not checked continuity in the heater element but I think with the codes and light - it isn't the heater element.
Any suggestions? My pack is a Hydro-Quip model Z4H KXDL-34004EN. I already repaired an exploded water manifold - my local spa guy wanted to charge $900.00. I did it for $59.00 and about 2 hours. I would like to try and fix this myself.
Thanks in advance.

This gramophone has been posted to the blog before (by me), and it deserves a second look.
Teachers could use this project to talk about the evolution of technology, among other things. (Yes, Virginia, your granddad played music by sticking a sharp piece of metal onto a whirling piece of vinyl).
I knew I should have done a search :)
the only problem with this is it schratches up the record. is the an alternative to a pushpin that won't scratch?

Use correct oil to prevent engine performance problems
Using the correct oil for this engine is critical. Improper engine oil can foam in the high pressure system and not develop enough pressure for operation. Symptoms of this can be hard starting, long cranking time before start, rough engine idle, and a lack of power. Another sign is tiny bubbles in the oil on the engine oil dipstick after the engine is shut off. The additives in the correct oil that protect against foaming can still break down, so changing the oil at the correct intervals is important.

There's an NVIDIA Interview on PC PowerPlay Magazine titled "The Sky Isn't Falling," as it hears from NVIDIA's Tony Tamasi about graphics cards, who tells them: "It's no longer possible for a console to be a better or more capable graphics platform than the PC." Surprisingly, he says one of the reasons for this is that the console giants don't have the cash to compete in this area:
- By the time of the Xbox 360 and PS3, the consoles were on par with the PC. If you look inside those boxes, they're both powered by graphics technology by AMD or NVIDIA, because by that time all the graphics innovation was being done by PC graphics companies. NVIDIA spends 1.5 billion US dollars per year on research and development in graphics, every year, and in the course of a console's lifecycle we'll spend over 10 billion dollars into graphics research. Sony and Microsoft simply can't afford to spend that kind of money. They just don't have the investment capacity to match the PC guys; we can do it thanks to economy of scale, as we sell hundreds of millions of chips, year after year.

The real Bettie Page emerges from the veil of myth and rumor via audio interviews taped a decade prior to her death in 2008. With earthy, razor sharp wit, Bettie tells her life story -- from humble beginnings as one of six children in an impoverished southern family, to high school salutatorian, to scandalous 50s pin-up model, to shocking retirement in 1957 at the peak of her modeling career. Sharing rare details about her short-lived first marriage and many torrid affairs, this keen insider's glimpse follows Bettie through decades of broken marriages, born-again Christianity, and bouts of mental illness, before her ultimate return to the public eye in the early 90's, unaware of her cult status. Ranked by Forbes in 2012 as one of the top ten posthumous celebrity earners, Bettie and her enduring legacy continue to flourish.
Rated R for sexual content and graphic nudity throughout.

Nice shots of the Lego robots. I think the year is off by one though, since LEGOWORLD 2011 is yet to come, this fall. Should it perhaps be LEGOWORLD 2010?

So did anyone figure out how to get this half assed WIndows 8 to show white text on a dark title bars on windows?
Not that I'm surprised, but releasing Windows where you can read window titles only on light themes is completely idiotic. I've tried every single thing and it's simply impossible to change the text to white so I can have dark window caption bar and dark theme?
Also, are there any other AERO like simple themes that are not butt ugly to replace this Windows 8 disaster default theme?
Posted 09 December 2012 - 22:28
Posted 09 December 2012 - 22:37
While you shouldn't HAVE to do this, grab UltraUXTheme Patcher and Windows 8 Default theme, patch the files and install the theme. You will then have the default theme with white text, for when you want a dark theme and the original for when you want dark text on a light theme.
I went one step further and made the min/max/restore buttons white as well, for that, grab Resource Hacker, open the .msstyle file, extract "STREAM -> 986 -> 0" as a .png. Use what ever image editor you like and then look for the black min/max/restore button and make paint them white, remember to save as a .png. Once saved, go back to Resource Hacker, click on the "0" and select replace resource, select your png, the RESOURCE TYPE should be "STREAM", the RESOURCE NAME is "986" and then save. Replace the original .msstyle file with the edited one and enjoy white text and white min/max buttons.
I don't know what they were thinking, not giving us the option to change the text color. Guess we desktop users better get used to getting the short end of the stick from Microsoft.
Anyway hope that helps.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:25
Well, considering they also removed the ability to change the fonts anywhere in the system, I guess it's understandable that they'd remove the other customization abilities. It's kind of sad.

Many thanks for this. Much appreciated. I used it and it works extremely well. I now have almost glass look black borders and title bars not to mention the start menu with readable white text.Look at my new taskbar!!

Wednesday's report offers evidence that age-related memory loss really is a distinct condition from pre-Alzheimer's — and offers a hint that what we now consider the normal forgetfulness of old age might eventually be treatable.
Researchers at
That section of the brain, called the dentate gyrus, has long been suspected of being especially vulnerable to aging. Importantly, it's a different neural neighborhood than where Alzheimer's begins to form.
But it's circumstantial evidence that having less of that protein, named RbAp48, affects memory loss in older adults. So the researchers took a closer look at mice, which become forgetful as they age in much the same way that people do.
Sure enough, cutting levels of the protein made healthy young rodents lose their way in mazes and perform worse on other memory tasks just like old mice naturally do.
More intriguing, the memory loss was reversible: Boosting the protein made forgetful old mice as sharp as the youngsters again, the researchers reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
"It's the best evidence so far" that age-related memory loss isn't the same as early Alzheimer's, said Nobel laureate Dr. Eric Kandel, who led the
And since some people make it to 100 without showing much of a cognitive slowdown, the work begs another question: "Is that normal aging, or is it a deterioration that we're allowing to occur?" Kandel said.
"As we want to live longer and stay engaged in a cognitively complex world, I think even mild age-related memory decline is meaningful," added
This is early-stage research that will require years of additional work to confirm, cautioned Dr. Molly Wagster of the National Institute on Aging, who wasn't involved with the report.
But Wagster said the findings add to a growing body of evidence suggesting "that we're not all on the road to Alzheimer's disease" after we pass a certain age.
For example, other researchers have found that connections between neurons in other parts of the brain weaken with normal aging, making it harder but not impossible to retrieve memories. In contrast, Alzheimer's kills neurons.
How does Wednesday's research fit? Many pathways make up a smoothly functioning memory, and that protein plays a role in turning a short-term memory — like where you left those car keys — into a longer-term one, Kandel explained.
Some good news: Scientists already know that exercise makes the dentate gyrus — that age-targeted spot in the hippocampus — function better, Small said. He's also studying if nutrition might make a difference.

How late is too late when sealing grout?January 26,2013Q. My shower stall was renovated with ceramic tile three years ago. Is it too late to seal the grout? Also, one grout joint in a corner has cracked, from the floor to the ceiling. How can I fix it so it wont crack again?
A. You can seal the grout the day after you applied it or 100 years later. If it isnt dirty, seal all three sides of the shower with a tile sealer or masonry sealer. That will make the grout water-resistant, if not waterproof, and help prevent the growth of mold and dirt. If it is dirty, clean thoroughly with bleach and water, rinse, and seal. Any of the clear masonry or tile sealers will work; resealing will be necessary.
As for the grout in the corner, it cracked because it was not compacted heavily enough. The corner is a bigger pain than the flat surfaces because there is often a bigger empty space behind. Dig out all the old grout with a utility knife or any sharp instrument. Buy unsanded grout and insert it in the crack with a squeegee; press it in so that it is completely compact. Then smooth off and forget about it until a day or two later when you can seal it.
I am not a big fan of using caulking with ceramic tile, but this particular corner may be just the place for it. You can try it, anyway; put a bead of adhesive caulk (Phenoseal and Polyseamseal are two good brands) in the corner, then press it in and smooth it off.
Q. The apartments in my building have very big windows, and wide sills too. The sills are covered by two rows of ceramic tiles, and they get mortal cold. How can I insulate those tiles in my apartment?
A. Those cold tiles might be pulling air right down the windows and sill, and can actually create a draft, even in a tight house. Try this: Buy several carpet tiles, the thicker the better, and cut them to fit on the sills, then glue the parts on the sill with an adhesive caulk. Tell your neighbor how to do it and you will come out a hero.
Q. I have steam heat, and my cellar is really, really hot. How can I cool it off and/or utilize that wasted heat?
A. If all the pipes leading to and from the boiler are bare, you can insulate them with a special compressed fiberglass insulation. Check the boiler as well. It may be insulated, but if the insulation is white and sort of hanging off the boiler, leave it alone; that is asbestos and it can be a serious hazard to occupants if loose and friable, but it can be encapsulated by an asbestos specialist. A well-insulated boiler and pipes will save you a lot of heat, keeping it in the pipes and radiators upstairs. If the pipes are asbestos wrapped, and the wrap looks in bad shape, it must be encapsulated or removed by a specialist, then reinsulated with the aforementioned compressed fiberglass. Also, check all valves at the top end of all radiators, to make sure they are working right.
Sometimes you can utilize the heat by installing vents in the first floor, but if there is any free asbestos in the cellar, this is not a good idea. Insulating all the pipes and the boiler is your best bet.MORE IN Local & StateRecovery takes time, patience and a desire to change.

A Morning Snow--Hudson River
Assured, slashing strokes of a heavily loaded brush capture the effects of morning light reflected from freshly fallen snow. This view of the Hudson River and New Jersey from Manhattan's Upper West Side transmits the sense of the city's awakening energies through its depiction of the man shoveling snow, people going to work, boats plying the river, and smoke and steam interrupting the still, crisp atmosphere—features that signal Bellows's affinity for the art of the New York Realist Robert Henri. Yet, more than many of his contemporaries, Bellows constructed his composition to exploit its abstract potential: the elevated vantage point flattens the plctollal space, which is then ordered by a subtle system of horizontal and vertical elements.

The Original Drinking Horn
Drinking vessels made from glass, ceramics or metal styled in the shape of drinking horns are also known from antiquity, in Greek known as rhyton. Lavishly decorated drinking horns in the Baroque style, some imitating cornucopia, some made from ivory, including gold, silver and enamel decorations continued to be produced as luxury items in 19th to early 20th Germany.
Statement piece
If you show up to a party with your very own drinking horn, you are bound to uniquely stand out. Great for games, or just good ol' fashioned drinking, the drinking horn can offer loads of excitement wherever it's brought. Offered in ceramic and glass, the drinking horn provides a cultural sneak peek into Germany's enriched past.

And almost no one gives a damn!
Auto-attack hotkey based MMOs are a dying breed; and good riddance, they are boring as sin.
FFXIV was changed to be auto-attack based because of its critical failure due to SE's incompetence. They showed even more incompetence when they started changing things to mimic FFXI. Now the re-release (ARR) is just a Final Fantasy themed WoW; it's disgusting. I will always be sad when I think of FFXIV. I enjoyed it for what it was and wished it was more polished, diverse and had more content. Shame what they did to it.
You think RIFT is an auto attack MMO? Good luck if you try to attack your way even through the tutorial zone, LOL!

CeeLo's 1st-ever autobiography, "Everybody's Brother," out 9/10/13
EVERYBODY'S BROTHER: My Story
By CeeLo Green
With Big Gipp and David Wild
Grand Central Publishing
Publication date: September 10, 2013
$28.00 | Hardcover | ISBN: 978-1455516674
My Story
By CeeLo Green
CeeLo (who seems to be moving toward single-name status) is a funny guy with a colorful story to share… [EVERYBODY'S BROTHER is] an 'only in America' story with Horatio Alger as a rapper and neo-soul singer."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Brassy, often snarky, and totally madcap, Cee Lo mouths off in this ribald tell-all, to the enjoyment of his fans and newbies everywhere."
—Publishers Weekly
CeeLo Green dresses as Liberace, performs with the Muppets, and does 360-degree flips with a grand piano at his fingertips. He's a coach on the #1-rated network reality show, The Voice, and is a genre-breaking artist who has garnered millions of fans over his music career releasing albums as Goodie Mob, Gnarls Barkley and of course as CeeLo Green himself. He has largely remained a man of Mystery…until now.
CeeLo Green has penned his first memoir, or as he refers to it, a "psychedelic fable," entitled EVERYBODY'S BROTHER: My Story by CeeLo Green with Big Gipp and David Wild [Grand Central Publishing | $28.00 | Hardcover], which is being released on September 10th, 2013. In the memoir, the Grammy Award winner finally reveals his remarkable personal story including tales from his childhood, his search to find his voice and how he maintained his individuality while rising to the top. At times gritty, yet always truthful, EVERYBODY'S BROTHER illustrates how CeeLo Green created the artist who he is today, despite circumstances beyond his control. Threaded through with hope, inspiration, and real advice, along with anecdotes and revealing insights from CeeLo's childhood friend, Goodie Mob band-member and "brother from another mother" Big Gipp, EVERYBODY'S BROTHER shows how CeeLo found the power in his own voice, and defied the odds time and time again. Filled with exclusive pictures from CeeLo's childhood, plus images documenting each stage in his life and career, this new memoir truly tells the real story of CeeLo Green from day one to today. Both in his tone and in his look, EVERYBODY'S BROTHER is a theatrical and inspiring artistic statement that perfectly captures its memorable, maverick author.
As CeeLo writes in the book's introduction:
"I write this book not just to celebrate my own voice and to revel in my own success story, but to help encourage the next generation of underdogs to listen closely to the voices in their own heads, so that maybe someday they can rise up and share their own voices with the world too."
A member of the Goodie Mob and the front-member to Gnarls Barkley (winner of two 2007 Grammys and known for their #1 hit "Crazy"), CeeLo Green was born in Atlanta and helped turn the city into the center of a major hip-hop/rap revolution. He is a multi-award winning musician, as well as one of the celebrity coaches on NBC's #1 reality television show The Voice.
Big Gipp helped CeeLo start his music career when he introduced him to the members of the Goodie Mob when CeeLo was just 17. They have been brothers ever since. In addition to being a member of Goodie Mob, Gipp also has a solo career and has contributed to several collaborations with other artists over the years.
David Wild is a New York Times bestselling author, a contributing editor to Rolling Stone, and an Emmy-nominated television writer and producer, as well as a popular blogger for Huffington Post and a frequent television commentator about popular music. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons.

"I ordered these rehearsal dinner invitations for my son's wedding in April. They arrived timely and I was very pleased with them. The bride and groom loved them too! I will order any future invitations from Wedding Paper Divas!"
"My (future) mother-in-law and I chose this card for the rehearsal dinner.We immediately were drawn to this design! I was ordering these invites around the same time I ordered the wedding invitations, and when WPD sent me the proof of these cards, I was pleasantly surprised to see that they included an option which incorporated the same font as my invitations. I also had to call after placingmy order to change the RSVP date and they were extremely helpful and friendly. The invitations arrived in a week!"
"This invitation is great. I made a lot of changes with the wording and everyone was very helpful to get it corrected. We ordered it in the coast color (a beautiful light blue), rounded corners and a shimmer paper. The shimmer adds a more expensive look to the paper and I would highly recommend it. It is a very clean and easy to read invitation."
"The quality of the invitation was incredible, delivered SUPER FAST, and everything is perfect!! This is my second order with WPD and I would use then 100 more times if I could!! Excellent, Excellent, EXCELLENT!!!!!!"
"I was able to customize this invitation with colors that matched my wedding. I also added a picture to the back which added a special touch! Everyone has been commenting on how much they love them!!"

Debt Pioneers: Starwood Property Trust's Brain Trust
This past October, after three and a half-weeks of negotiations, Starwood Property Trust and a fund controlled by Starwood Capital Group originated the REIT's largest transaction so far—$475 million in combined acquisition and construction financing for a joint venture to develop Times Square Gateway Center, a 340,000-square-foot multi-use complex in the busiest area of Manhattan.
After a run of about three years, Starwood Property Trust, which real estate investor Barry Sternlicht took public in August 2009, has "entered the big league," as FBR Capital Markets analyst Gabe Poggi wrote in a report after the release of the REIT's third-quarter 2012 results. Read More

Wikia is home to over 400,000 communities for fans, by fans. We are often cited as the best source of accurate, dynamic, and fresh fan-authored information that is fueling virtually all aspects of popular culture: console and mobile games, cable and streaming TV shows, music festivals, big movie franchises, major sporting events, anticipated book releases, fashion trends and DIY, food and drink recipes, and current events on an international scale. Wikia's fan base continues to fuel consistent growth with over 2 billion global monthly page views in over 200 languages -- more than 40% of the traffic coming exclusively from mobile visits. Fans find their favorite fandoms through seven distinct and discoverable hubs.
- Games
- Movies
- Comics
- Music
- Books
- Lifestyle
Whether fans are seeking the latest word on Dragon Age gameplay, adding details to Harry Potter's family history, or looking for the perfect summer cocktail recipe, Wikia provides an environment for all superfan types to be original and empower their social presence through a creative and collaborative community.
Our Mission
Unleash the power of knowledge as influence. Wikia provides a trusted and customizable collaborative publishing platform on which everyone - really, everyone - can pursue a complete chronicle of what they know and love on subjects that range from video games, movies, TV, and books, to cars, cooking, crafts, education, and travel. By doing so, we empower the expert and satisfy the curious.
Enable personal and collective creativity. Our communities assemble on their own initiative and dwell as living, breathing entertainment destinations -- interconnected through a shared desire to create, collaborate, learn, and inform. The more you learn, the more you have to share. That magnetic appeal our fans organically generate is contagious and inspiring.
Distribute rich, original content. Collaboration is what makes Wikia's content unique. Our site supports powerful search engine discovery and complementary curation tools for video, photo, text, quizzes, and more. Wikia contributors and readers return again and again for real, useful information -- visiting an average of 4.8 times per month to consume an average of eight pages each visit.
Our History
In 2006, Wikia, Inc. was created from the minds of Angela Beesley and Jimmy Wales, the creator of the free online, open-source encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Jimmy and Angela realized they could use their MediaWiki technology to support the high demand of popular culture topics like video games, movies, books, comics, music, TV, and lifestyle topics including sports, food/drink, travel, and more. Reigning as its own business platform for collaborative media publishing ever since, Wikia has more than 200 employees worldwide and is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, Cologne, Tokyo, and Poznan, Poland.
Infinite and Interconnected
As the Social Universe for Fans, by Fans, we represent the infinite potential of collaboration. Content and fandom are interconnected, woven together through shared pursuit and dedication. Our network of communities is expansive, fresh and dynamic, but we operate as one.
It's community first at Wikia, but if you're curious, meet our executive team:
Wikia's Chief Executive Officer, Craig Palmer is leading the web's largest network of collaboratively published entertainment, gaming, and lifestyle content into its next phase, with an emphasis on expanding efficient processes and rapidly scaling Wikia's community, marketing reach, and revenue.
Craig has more than 25 years of industry experience, leading several diverse companies to success. Most recently, he was the President and CEO of Gracenote, a digital media pioneer whose content and technology is embedded in almost all top digital media brands.
During Craig's eight years of leadership, Gracenote enjoyed a dramatic increase in revenue, employee growth, international scope, and industry footprint. The company was purchased by Sony in 2008 for $260 million. Prior to Gracenote, Craig helped lead Aspect Development, a market-leading supply chain management company, through an IPO and eventual sale for over $9 billion in 2000 – at that time, the largest software sale in history.

Previously, Bob was the Vice President of Advertising Sales at GameDAILY, a video game content syndication company, later acquired by AOL. His twenty years of media and publishing experience include executive and senior sales management positions at LookSmart, Dialpad Communications, and CNET Networks, where Bob got his start in the games industry working with GameCenter.com.
Owen Adams is Wikia's Senior Vice President of Product. In his role, Owen and his team define and execute a product vision that allows the most influential fan base on the Web to connect and collaborate around the topics they are most passionate about, often in partnership with official brands and increasingly for syndication to mobile.
Prior to joining Wikia, Owen led UX and product discovery at BitTorrent. He built a team and defined the strategy for UX excellence across a line of products that serve over 170 million monthly active users. Owen was also responsible for exploring new products to leverage BitTorrent technology and provide more efficient ways for people to engage with content on the Web. Earlier in his career, Owen led product management and UX for Kodak Gallery (formerly Ofoto), helping to lead a turnaround that resulted in a sale to Shutterfly. Owen started his career at Intuit, holding various roles in product management, UX and operations.

Additionally, the group oversees Wikia's corporate development, legal, and M&A functions.
"-was-" has a rich and diverse career in software technology having held a range of management positions across engineering, product management, content production, and business development. An early employee in the 1990s at Macromedia (acquired by Adobe), he has also worked for a number of leading bay area technology companies including Autodesk, Apple (Kaleida Labs), ION, and most recently at Gracenote, where he ran their worldwide business development efforts from 2007- 2012.
