Recognized as one of the world's great ensembles, Budapest's Takács Quartet plays with a unique blend of drama, warmth and humor, combining four distinct musical personalities to bring fresh insights to the string quartet repertoire. Gramophone magazine notes, "The Takács have the ability to make you believe that there's no other possible way the music should go, and the strength to overturn preconceptions that comes only with the greatest performers." For their Fortas debut, they bring a program of quartets by Schubert and Bartók, plus Beethoven's staggering Opus 131.
Originally formed in 1975 at the Franz Liszt Academy in Budapest, the quartet first received international attention in 1977, winning First Prize and the Critics' Prize at the International String Quartet Competition in Evian, France.

Major FSA program deadlines approaching
Tunica County USDA Farm Service Agency Executive Director Aaron C. Robinson, reminds producers of the approaching June 1, 2012, deadline for FSA's Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE), the Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program (DCP) and the Average Crop Revenue Election Program (ACRE).
"It is crucial that producers meet the deadline for these programs in order to receive disaster and income support," Robinson said. "The Farm Service Agency realizes that farmers and ranchers take risks every day, and these programs form part of the safety net that can keep producers operating after devastating natural disasters and during times of low market prices," he said.

How this guy explained white and black with culture, physics, perception, ecology, brain, paint on the page,.... and alien.
En Taro Adun !!Torncity
noun 1. the comparative darkness caused by the interception or screening of rays of light from an object, place, or area.
2. a place or an area of comparative darkness, as one sheltered from the sun.
I believe thats the correct definition, but by that then in terms of lighting no it can't, but in terms of painting/drawing yes it can, since the only way to get the other colors darker to show shade is by adding white or black.(preferrably a hand made black so it looks more natural)
white is not a colour...its different frequencies of light...
I would say that only colors which have an exact wavelength are colors, this would make every mix of colors not a color for itself anymore, which is kind of stupid, since any color which isn't 100% homogenous (so anything which isn't coming from a laser) would'nt be a color anymore. So you just got to include mixes in the group of colors. Since White is the mix of all colors and Black the mix of no color (which is a mix too ; ) ) they are both colors.
my 2 cents.
Why are we in a debate over this? The fact of whether or not white is a color is not going to solve anything in the world.
white in rgb is (255, 255, 255)
while black is (0, 0, 0)
see I learn that with paint
I didn't have time to look through all the posts so don't hate me if I am repeating but...
In terms of pigments white is the absence of color and Black is the existance of all color but in terms of light, White is the existence of all color and Black is the absence of any color/any light (that is why space, which is a vacuum that light can only travel through is concieved as black, there is nothing in the vaccum to give it a color).
I learned that from all the extra time I have in Lit. classes and on the internet (ok not really I was so interested I asked my Physics professor).
(> <)
You cannot resist us!
Oh well, ok.

Chong Hing shares drop after $1.5 bln deal with China buyer
HONG KONG, Oct 28 (Reuters) – Shares in Hong Kong's Chong
Hing Bank Ltd slumped on Monday amid concerns a $1.5
billion offer for control of the bank may hit regulatory
hurdles, while some investors took profits after a steep run-up
in the company's stock.
Chong Hing shares fell as much as 10 percent in its biggest
one-day percentage fall in five years and its busiest trading
day in a decade.
Private equity firms adding to Asia's debt pile, for a fee
HONG KONG (Reuters) – Private equity firms in Asia Pacific are increasingly paying special dividends to themselves funded by refinancing debt of the businesses they own, a development that is being fuelled by frothy credit markets and sluggish prospects for "exit" sales.
So-called dividend recapitalisation loans have been popular for some years in North America and Europe. Their growth in Asia is a sign the region's leveraged finance industry is evolving from its conservative past, with local banks fiercely competing to provide loans even if it means loosening credit standards.
Goldman, HSBC spat over Huishan IPO highlights Chinese squeeze on banks
HONG KONG (Reuters) – A recent shouting match between senior bankers involved in Hong Kong's second-largest IPO so far this year illustrates the competitive squeeze on banks from Chinese companies offering incentives ahead of lucrative initial public offerings.
At a routine September 6 meeting of around 20 underwriters to China Huishan Dairy Holdings Co Ltd's (6863.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) planned $1.3 billion IPO, tempers flared between two bankers from HSBC (HSBA.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Goldman Sachs (GS.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), said people who were at the meeting and others briefed on the incident. One said the row escalated to the point where the Goldman banker threatened to have his HSBC rival fired.
Huishan Dairy plans up to $1.3 billion Hong Kong IPO
HONG KONG (Reuters) – China Huishan Dairy plans to raise up to $1.3 billion in a Hong Kong initial public offering to fund its expansion, with the world's No.2 economy expected to catch up with its Asian peers in the consumption of infant formula, yogurt and fresh milk.
Investors have bought up shares of companies including China Modern Dairy (1117.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and China Mengniu Dairy (2319.HK: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), betting that the country's huge consumer market will fuel China's long-term intake of milk products. China's current per capita dairy consumption rate of 23 kilograms is less than half of its Asian neighbours, according to Macquarie.
Stock offering plans by China's banks seen as short-term fix
HONG KONG, Sept 3 (Reuters) – For the Chinese banks seeking
billions of dollars in upcoming stock offerings, a concern is
growing that the money will only refinance old loans and do
little to prevent the lenders from hitting up shareholders for
more cash in a few years or less.
In 2010, Chinese lenders raised $82 billion as a surging
stock market helped them replenish cash after a post-financial
crisis lending binge. Now, in a far less forgiving climate, they
are again lining up for more money, attempting to tap investors
as the economy slows, profits shrink and unpaid debts pile up.
Hong Kong Exchange names former NYSE LIFFE exec as LME CEO

JPMorgan China probe sends chill through investment banks
HONG KONG (Reuters) – A U.S. banking regulator's probe into JPMorgan's (JPM.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) hiring practices in China will have rival banks scrambling to review their own records, lawyers say, in a market where ties to political and business leaders can be key to winning big deals.
Banks around the world commonly hire people with government connections, but this is especially prevalent in China due to the role the ruling Communist Party plays in the country's business.
Alibaba in talks with HKEx on ownership structure ahead of IPO-sources
HONG KONG, Aug 19 (Reuters) – Alibaba Group Holding Ltd

Alibaba is widely expected to launch an initial public

KKR tops rivals with largest Asia fund as valuations drop
HONG KONG, July 10 (Reuters) – A record $6 billion Asia fund
announced by U.S. private equity firm KKR & Co on Wednesday will
be deployed at a time when an economic slowdown and emerging
market sell-off has knocked the overall value of Asia Pacific
corporations to historic lows.
While the market volatility should offer KKR opportunities
to buy low, the record of the private equity industry in Asia
shows that investing in the region is not as easy as it seems.
KKR raises $6 billion in new Asia fund, region's largest
HONG KONG, July 10 (Reuters) – KKR & Co raised $6 billion
for its third Asia private equity fund, equipping the firm with
the largest such fund in the region at a time when market
turmoil is creating both opportunities and challenges for
foreign investors.
KKR said it raised $1.5 billion, or 26 percent of the fund,
from Asian investors. That is an increase from the $908 million
it raised from the region for its first Asia fund.

VISIT US at wilmontbayretreat dot com and on Facebook
This is our family's retreat from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. It is a place to enjoy seclusion and peace. There are no roads on our side of Guanaja, only trails and boats. Our 'front yard' is the Caribbean. Reefs surround us on both sides and the barrier reef is about a kilometer away.
The scenic beauty is breathtaking. The reefs teem with life - tropical fish, eels, rays, sea turtles and nurse shark. The waters are clear, blue and pristine. One simply grabs a mask and snorkel and heads out -- no long boat rides to get there. The serenity and peaceful seclusion extends beyond the beach to include the surrounding trails.
The cabin is located on the beach. It is a one bedroom, with a futon in the living room. The cabin is air-conditioned with fans in every room. The kitchen is fully equipment.
Since we are located on the northwest side of Guanaja, we are blessed with some spectacular sunsets. Enjoy your coffee or your evening drink sitting on the porch watching the sea. The rent includes use of our snorkel gear and our kayaks. Come join us.
Guanaja is not easy to travel to. She is a rare, an unique and a disappearing jewel in the Caribbean. If you are looking to get 'off the grid', Guanaja is worth The Journey. You may even decide to stay.
Keywords: Secluded, peaceful, beachfront, crystal clear water, sunsets
Our family fell in love with the island and culture.
Its secluded and it offers the experience of snorkeling, diving, fishing, hiking, and getting away.
My family had a wonderful adventure on this beautiful island paradise! The natural beauty surrounding us was amazing! Cindy had arranged for us to fly from Roatan to Guanaja in a private Cessna piloted by David, and what a fantastic view of the island and the sea from the air! She met us at the landing strip with Jorge driving the boat and we headed to Wilmont Bay retreat! Our cabins were perfect - very comfortable, stocked by Cindy with groceries and everything we needed! Cindy treated us with exceptional hospitality and friendship, and always went the extra mile to make sure our time there was memorable! We spent an evening getting to know many of the locals and ex-pats at a festival celebration. We enjoyed delicious meals with Charles and Cindy. We spent time exploring the deep blue sea on the Nimitz with Captain Jackie. We made a trip to "town" by boat to restock groceries. Bill, an excellent instructor, led my husband and son on a recreational dive, while Cindy guided me and my daughter snorkeling through the magnificent coral reeds with endless, colorful and fascinating sea life! What an experience! We enjoyed a tasty lunch at Bo's Island House on a pier over the water. We hiked up to a beautiful and refreshing waterfall! ... Have I mentioned the spectacular sunsets? And the interesting animals and wildlife around our cabin including Angel, our guardian dog, playful and lazy cats, many singing birds and hummingbirds, chickens, ducks, geese, a small barracuda that was a regular visitor around the dock, and a captivating parrot! My family spent our last afternoon there, including Cindy and a friend we met, snorkeling through the majestic coal reefs right off the beach from our front door! That was the highlight of our island adventure! Thank you, Charles and Cindy, for your gracious hospitality ... we are ready to return!
Having traveled to Honduras before, I already knew what a beautiful country it is: a hidden gem of the Caribbean. But since the cruise ships have discovered Roatan, my husband and I were looking for a quieter get away. We found exactly what we needed and more in Guanaja. Where can you spend a whole day hiking to a luscious waterfall, walking on an untouched beach, snorkeling on a pristine reef and not see another human being?!! We lived very simply in Cindy's cabin, only steps from the water, but had all our needs met. When we arrived, the fridge was stocked with groceries we ordered in advance. Market day in "town" (which is a boat ride away, like every other destination) is only once a week, so don't count on a big variety of cuisine or "shopping" expeditions or restaurants to try. This is about slowing down, chilling out and enjoying some of the best nature has to offer. Did I mention THE SNORKELING?!! It was definitely a highlight of our trip. Cindy was a great host! She was so accommodating and easy going and invited us on outings to explore the island and meet some of the other ex-pats living there. It was the perfect blend of mixing it up with other people and just hanging out on our own. Usually a week long vacation is not nearly enough time to unwind, but I noticed when I got home how I felt as if I'd been away much longer, because the experience was so unique and transporting. If you've ever fantasized about living on a deserted island, this place would be a good trial run! I definitely plan to return for a longer stay next year!
We had a great time. My whole family enjoyed the trip. My sons (18,21) found great things to do from snorkeling, to diving, fishing, and hiking. The place is great, is completely private and quiet, and it has a fantastic view, and easy access to a huge reef, and the accommodations are clean, and super. The island is a very interesting place to explore, from the water falls to the grocery store, nearby restaurants, and surrounding islands. It is a great place to getaway from it all.
If you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful retreat with amazing views, but also looking for some adventure, you're in luck! By far the best vacation I've ever been on. The adventure begins as soon as the small plane takes off from Roatan to take you to Guanaja. When you land, you'll be greeted by a boat that will take you to Wilmont Bay, as there are no cars on the islands. The food was amazing, the sights were amazing, and it is the perfect spot for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life (cars, technology, work). Although I stayed as a guest of the owner, I can assure you that the other reviews are spot-on! Like most of the guests, we went diving, fishing, snorkeling, and took the boat ride to "Town" to get groceries. The different wildlife around the cabins are pretty cool too! They have three green parrots that fly around the property and you can hear them chattering and talking. It is really exciting just to sit on the porch with a cold drink and watch the sun go down. Last but not least, Cindy is really an exceptional host! She will make sure you have an awesome experience! Enjoy!
We spent 2 weeks at Wilmont Bay during our honeymoon and were not disappointed! The adventure of getting to the island and then to the lovely bay (by air, by boat) added to the allure of this idyllic Caribbean spot. We received tremendous hospitality from our hostess, Cindy, and throughout our stay she went out of her way to ensure we had a wonderful trip, from helping arrange diving and hiking, to pre-stocking the fridge in our well-appointed, clean, & comfortable cabin with necessary goodies, and introducing us to the addictive Zambo's plantain chips. The animals on the property, particularly the chickens, geese, parrots, and "grobos" add to the classic Caribbean Island feel.
Snorkeling was definitely a highlight, which we did every day right from the beach, spotting everything from brightly coloured reef fish and gorgeous healthy corals and gorgonians, to moray eels, squid, octopus, and even nurse sharks! We also couldn't get enough of the fresh fruits, both from market day on Bonacca (which was a very cool experience) and the gardens on the property (loved the fresh apple bananas and pineapple). We caught a few fish, both trolling and bottom-fishing with a neighbour, although we are told October is the best month for fishing. Bo's Island House is worth a visit for a local lunch, as is the waterfall not too far from his property.
Overall, a fantastic trip. We highly recommend this retreat!
My husband and I decided on Wilmont Bay, Guanaja for our honeymoon. It was the best choice we could've made! We were blown away by the natural beauty from the minute we saw the island from our descent on the airplane. The clear blue waters and rich green terrain highlighted Guanaja's beautiful landscape and peacefulness.
Once arriving at Wilmont Bay, we couldn't believe our eyes! The bay was pristine, and nestled behind the rich vegetation were a couple cabins for guests. After being greeted by Cindy, we instantly felt welcomed and comfortable. She showed us to our cabin, which was perfect for a couple. The kitchen was stocked with food we'd requested, which was so nice to make it to our final destination and instantly begin to unwind.
The next few days on the island were some of the most enjoyable moments of our lives. We spent the mornings cooking and drinking coffee on the porch, in the afternoons we'd go snorkeling or kayaking, and in the evenings we spent time with Cindy. She was a wonderful host and quite an amazing cook too! It was fun to hear about her family's stories of the island over the past 20 years.
We felt comforted in knowing we were staying with someone who was very knowledgeable about Guanaja as well. It was like having our own tour guide who showed us the best places to kayak, snorkel, and also took us out on her boat for a trip into town and to a nearby key for lunch. She also helped us with our plane tickets, travel routes and money exchanges throughout the trip.
We would recommend Wilmont Bay to anyone wanting to relax and "getaway" from the stress and fast-paced environment so many of us live in. The only regret we have is not staying longer! We already miss the island, but we look forward to our next trip to Guanaja sometime soon!

Bosnian Muslims' understandings of Islam and relationships with the sacred landscape have undergone significant transformations since the dissolution of socialist Yugoslavia. I explore these transformations as I analyze discourses and debates on what constitutes "correct" Islamic tradition in Bosnia today, when Muslim practice has been exposed to a global Islamic orthodoxy and entangled in new supraregional hierarchies of power, values, and moral imagination. I specifically focus on how intracommunal Muslim politics intertwines with contemporary Bosnian Muslim shrine pilgrimages.

I'm interested in scuppernong, muscadine
I understand that these grapes are famous, in the south, so have come to Southern Gardening to ask for them.
The least I can do is cover shipping for vines, plantlets, or seeds of Vitus rotundifolia and other grape varieties.
If you have a trade list, I will respond in kind, with anything, which may be in season.
Thanks for reading.
(Same username on yahoo.)
Hi, Zackey.
I just got them a few minutes ago and wanted to answer a questions you had in your letter.
The inside of the package was very moist. So, I planted them straight in the shade, without soaking.
With the thicker stemmed varieties, I have luck, just planting the nodes. Since this kind has more slender stems, I kept them intact, straight up and down, with just the top leaves showing.
I wasn't able to taste your samples, because they became alcoholic, on the way here. I was able to show my family how they look and salvage the seeds.
Most people know things like pruning spurs down to the second and third node, every year, but not why the grapes come out different than the ones from the store. I'm ttaking the time to learn how it's done on farms and coming up with new ideas of my own.
I wasn't worried that the leaves had started to go into dormancy for the year.
I do not typically water when the plant is showing no heat stress or when the plant is not in fruit, although it is sometimes very dry, here. I find that very slow watering of fruiting vines makes the grapes big without splitting them.

Tutorial: Creating a Photo of Syrup Being Poured on a Pancake Lens
The vast majority of my photographic work is environmental portraiture, corporate and editorial photography, and interiors, some of my commercial photography does include product photos. Quite honestly, some of this stuff is pretty straightforward, take a nice representative image of the product on a clean white backdrop so it integrates onto a website (also white) seamlessly. Sometimes a client gives me a bit more artistic license, and sometimes I get to do a shoot that's just for me.

How to Photograph International Space Station Flyovers
Photographer Shane Murphy has written up an informative step-by-step tutorial on how you can photograph the International Space Station as it whizzes by overhead.
First things first, the most important thing to do is to plan well. Forward planning is vital to any night sky shot, along with a steady tripod and a warm coat. There are quite a few websites and twitter feeds that can help you with your planning. Even though it only takes about an hour and a half for the ISS to complete an orbit of the planet, you could be waiting quite some time under the night skies before the station appears above. The station only appears for a short time (about 1-2 weeks) and then re-appears again many weeks later. This is due to the orbit of the station above earth.
You can check out a collection of ISS photographs he has taken here.

How to Photograph a $380,000 Car with $60,000 in Lighting Gear
How would you go about photographing a $380,000 Lamborghini Aventador? Here's an interesting behind the scenes video in which photographer Blair Bunting presents a step-by-step walkthrough of how went about doing it. He uses $60,000 in lighting gear, but also demonstrates how you can achieve similar lighting by light painting with a single softbox. Another neat trick is using a small light and a model car to plan your lighting setup prior to working with the actual car. The finished photograph can be seen here.

Post-processing of a Graduation Photo
A few weeks ago, I was taking photographs of my friend Tommy at his Berkeley graduation using a Canon 40D and the 24mm f/2.8. I had originally purchased the 24mm as part of a package and was planning on selling it off, but decided to keep it after being shocked by its quality and versatility. Anyhow, here's an unprocessed photograph of my friends Tommy and Jacob I took right after the graduation:
It was a pretty cloudy day, which was definitely a plus in terms of lighting. I shot the photo wide open at f/2.8, which blurred the background enough to bring out the subjects, but not too much in order to keep the campanile recognizable. In terms of framing, I positioned myself so that
- The subjects obey the rule of thirds.
- The campanile is framed by the Hass School of Business gate.
Finally, in terms of timing, I waiting until the balloons floated to a visible position above the subjects, since the slight wind was blowing them around.
Now, opening the image in Adobe Camera Raw, I made the following post-processing decisions:
White Balance: Increased temperature from 4950 to 5450 (you can hold shift and press the right arrow key) to bring some warmth back into the scene, since it's pretty cool. Left the tint unchanged at -2. Hover over the image to compare:
Exposure: Left unchanged, since the photo was exposed pretty well.
Recovery, Fill Light, and Blacks: Now, pressing 'U' and 'O' to turn on shadow and highlight clipping warning (respectively), we see the following:
Camera Raw (You can do these things in Lightroom and Aperture too, of course) overlays the image in certain places with blue and red pixels to indicate where shadows and highlights are clipped (where information is lost). The three values we use to try and recover as much of this lost information as we can are "recovery", "fill light", and "blacks". Holding Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while dragging recovery or blacks will temporarily replace the actual image with a black background, allowing you to see the clipped pixels more clearly.
First, we slide recovery over to 16. I notice that after 16, there isn't much more detail being recovered no matter how much more I increase the value. Setting recovery to too high of a value results in a muddy looking photograph.
To recover shadow details, we add a little fill light by setting it to 10. This removes most of the black clipping pixels. We can then recover most of the rest by dropping the blacks value down a few points to 2.
What results is an image with more detail, but less contrast. Hover over it to compare:
Notice how the dark shadows became a little lighter, the sky became a little more blue, and the overall difference between dark and light areas became less pronounced.
Contrast, Clarity, Vibrance, Sharpness, and Vignetting: To get back the contrast we lost in the process of recovering detail, I move the contrast slider over to the right until it looks right. In this case, I set it at 80. The clarity value can make things like the campanile and edges of the building more defined. I slide it up to 25. Vibrance I increase by 15 to make things a little more colorful. Finally, I sharpen the photo a little and add some lens vignetting to make the subjects stand out more.
Here is the final photograph. Hover over it to compare it to the original, unprocessed version:
If you have questions, suggestions, or other remarks, please leave a comment! I'd love to hear from you.

You know Michael Perry. He's the guy who writes funny, poignant memoirs about life in rural Wisconsin. He's written about his town ("Population 485"), his truck ("Truck") and his chickens and pigs ("Coop"). He's a musician and an essayist, and in pictures he is bald, strong, and sometimes holding farm animals.
His new book ("The Scavengers," in bookstores Sept. 2) is pretty much the opposite of everything he's done before. It's fiction — speculative fiction. The main character is a girl. And it's written for middle-grade readers. This all seemed worth asking about. So I did.
Q: Can you talk about what prompted such an enormous shift?
A: It was a convergence of elements, including the adventure stories I read as a child, my recent experiences as the father of two book-loving daughters, a fundamental need to pay for shoes and braces and a desire to write about someone other than my knuckle-headed self.
Q: What was the genesis of "The Scavengers"?
A: The seed was planted several years ago by a pair of editors who asked if I'd consider writing something for a younger audience. I held off, in part because I'm a respecter of genres. I didn't assume I could just switch gears and get traction. But then I started making notes and writing little scenes, including the one where Maggie decides to change her name to Ford Falcon. Then we had a rooster that couldn't crow properly. And from there …
Q: Why did you make the book nail-bitingly tense but also funny?
A: On long drives, when my daughters were listening to audiobooks, I noticed how they loved to discover a laugh in the middle of an otherwise cliffhanging adventure story.
I cherish serious and thoughtful people, but I can never bear to go too long without a chuckle or a joke. I suspect humor is the most reliable weapon we possess in our battle against the difficulties of this world. It's a pressure-relief valve. Humor is also a necessary tool for the adjustment of my own ego.
Q: The book is shot through with references to other books (Laura Ingalls Wilder, Emily Dickinson). Why?
A: My Mom changed my life by reading to me. It took me over 20 years to realize it. Those scenes where Ma is reading to Maggie? That's my Mom reading to me. And I chose Emily Dickinson because I like the idea of fine literature in roughneck circumstances. Beautiful words, beautiful art, beautiful movement: They're beautiful no matter where you're experiencing them. You don't have to look fancy to enjoy fancy.
Q: Do you now drive, or have you ever driven, a Ford Falcon?
A: Never drove one. But in my memoir "Coop," there are scenes featuring a Ford Falcon station wagon my parents owned when I was a child. I used to hide out in it, and that's where I got the idea of Maggie hiding out in her Falcon.

Liquidation value
Liquidation value is the estimated price shareholders would receive in the event a company goes out of business.
Expanded Definition
Liquidation value differs from book value in that book value usually lists assets at the lower of cost or market or in the case of machinery at depreciated value. Going concern value is often based on some multiple of earnings. Book value is based on the cost of assets. Liquidation value goes the next step and attempts to estimate the current market value of assets if they were sold.
In the event of bankruptcy, liquidation value minus outstanding debts gives a better estimate of funds likely to be available to shareholders.

By Emily Sharpe. Conservation, Issue 241, December 2012Published online: 18 December 2012
A monumental frieze made between 1909 and 1916 by Edvard Munch for the Aula (assembly hall) of the University of Oslo was unveiled to great acclaim in 2011 after a lengthy project to conserve and stabilise the 11 monumental Expressionist paintings. However, only 20 months after the project was completed, a Norwegian conservator has warned that harmful dust and debris from the restoration of the building's exterior may harm the recently treated frieze. The building project is expected to finish in summer 2013.
"Particles from the plaster that is being knocked off the building's exterior contain alkaline… [and] the particles themselves are like sandpaper," says Tine Frøysaker, a conservator and professor at the University of Oslo who worked on the Aula frieze. "We're worried that these particles will harm the paintings." Frøysaker says that measures have been taken to minimise the amount of dust that can seep in, such as increasing the internal air pressure, but the building is old and impossible to seal. She also says that the paintings are particularly vulnerable because they are not glazed. "They are too big to glaze. Anyway, the glaze would interfere with the Aula's acoustics, and the building is listed because of its amazing acoustics," she says."Work on the exterior should have been done first, before the restoration of the interior, which included the conservation of the paintings, was tackled," Frøysaker says. However, she does not blame the university or the contractors. "It's the government's fault for not releasing the funds earlier. They came too late for the university to change its plans and still meet the deadline for its 200th anniversary celebrations in 2011," she says.Frøysaker says the frieze "looked terrible" before the recent treatment, as it had been soiled and cleaned repeatedly over the years. "Running your hands over the surface of the paintings would turn them black," she says. The biggest visual impairment was the lattice effect created by the accumulation of dirt where the canvases were attached to the frames. A new frame was made."We'll need to assess the paintings again next summer when the building work is complete," Frøysaker says, adding: "This means we will need more money."

PANAJI: With Friday's Supreme Court order halting all mining related activity in the state, the All India youth forum has called for the seizure of assets of mine owners involved in illegal mining to compensate and rehabilitate those affected by mining ban.
Claiming that both the previous Congress government and the present BJP government are equally responsible for the mining mess in the state, Suhaas Naik, president of the Goa unit of the AIYF said that "successive governments during their tenure encouraged mining operations in an unchecked and irregular manner from time to time."
Naik said "the mining policies of these governments were tailor-made to benefit the few mine owners and this encouraged large-scale illegal mining in the state."
These policies did not benefit the sons-of-the-soil, truck operators, mine workers and those dependent on the mining industry for their livelihood, he added.
Stating that mine owners never paid dependent people their legitimate share and rightful dues, Naik said the lives of these dependent people have remained hostage in the hands of few mine owners for all these years.
He said that the government should protect all those whose livelihood has been affected due to the mining ban.
Claiming that "over one lakh people are directly dependent on mining industry for their livelihood," Naik has demanded that the government should compensate and rehabilitate all those who are affected by mining ban."
Naik felt that the sudden stoppage of mining operations will have cascading effect on the Goan economy.

Ugly Fruit?
Does anyone know of a picture w/an Ugly Fruit tree..especially a pic of the fruit. Also, is it a citrus?
Yesterday my dh went to an award ceremony, and on one of the tables were fruit, mainly for ornament.
I haven't the faintest idea what it is..here's a brief desciption. It's round..color is light green, (it may not be ripe) The skin reminds me of a ball of yarn that's been woven, like brain matter..LOL..
It's still got a partial stem on top which is brown. It's about 4" wide and 4" tall. A tad smaller than a baseball. The hard type of balls, not softballs.
I'm assuming there are seed inside, but don't want to cut until I'm sure the entire fruit isn't a seed.
So, if anyone knows of a site w/ugly fruit or can ID via my description, I would appreciate it..
I know starting fruit from seed takes yrs to grow, but it's worth a try. TIA...Toni
Hey Toni!
Oh yeah! You mean like Boy George?
Google Ulgi fruit. Yep it is a citrus. A hybrid between a tangelo and a grapefruit. Some call that a tangelolo. I almost bought a tree from Thompsons Nursery but S.W.M.M.H.P.(she who makes my hobbies possible) exercised veto powers. They don't come true to seed.
Toni - It looks similar to a Satsuma, Ponkan or even at Etrog. And it tastes pretty good too. The "Ugli" is a trademarked name for this tangelo. It's also called "uniq" or "unique". I've included a link to the official ugli website.
Here is a link that might be useful: Official Ugli Website
Hey Toni, scroll and read the whole thing- the bottom of the page says they come in orange and green skinned types. they say theyre not shipped till ripe so theyll always taste good. I guess if its got orange flesh, its good enough to plant.
So, what are you going to call your dehybridizing project? F1gly?
Since the description was that the fruit looked brain-like and woven, I have to think it was not citrus. Try osage orange (which, despite its name, is not citrus; it's mulberry family and is Maclura pomifera). A google search for images of Maclura should answer that question.
If you do look up 'Ugli' fruit, note the spelling.
Oh.. It wasn't a citrus fruit? If that's the case, I would have to agree with Malcom in that they could have been Osage Orange Fruit, or Horse Apples (as we call them in their native NE Texas). You may also hear the trees referred to as Bois D'arc.
Horse Apples and Osage Orange? Never heard of either..
Well, can I sow the seed to see what I end up with? I don't want to try and waste time...and pellets, which I'm running out of. And they won't be availabe till spring.
AAE, it resembled the Ugli fruit..so now I'm baffled.
MM, don't know why I spelled it ugly on this thread. I'll have do do a google w/correct spelling..
Let's say this is a Horse Apple..do I sow as I would seed from an apple? by putting in the fridge for a time?
Toni - Do you really want a Horse Apple Tree?
Here is a link that might be useful: Osage Orange Information & Links
AAE, that's it!!! Ok another question..When I went to the site, than clicked on www.hedgeapple.com, up came the pic w/a duplicate of my frit..
There is a picture of the fruit with leaves growing..How in the world did they accomplish this?
So, will this fruit eventually sprout leaves, or do I open it up and sow from the 200 seeds, as the sites states, and sow seeds? Or is the fruit a seed?
Keeps away bugs..good, I'll grow several to keep my favorite, spiders away..lol..Toni
The fruit won't grow. The seeds in it should, though, if it is ripe. When you open it, it will be full of very sticky, fibrous stuff, with the seeds among them. It's nasty to work with; kind of like playing in very sticky bubble gum.
It should be hardy in your area. The trees are interesting looking. Some types have big thorns on the trunk; others do not.
MM, thanks very much..I was thinking of attempting to grow this plant in a pot..If I had more outdoor space I would try growing outside, but I don't want to add another tree, otherwise it'll block sun from my houseplants..
Do you think it'll work as a potted plant?
To the person who emailed me regarding seeds, please resend. I thought the message would be in this thread and deleted it, Toni
Toni- my bet is NO WAY! in the "wild", these things are pretty big. I dont think they could be pot-grown.
and they wont keep all insects away. I dont know what insects they DO keep away, but spiders are mostly good guys! i know, I dont nececarily LIKE them like my worms, but theyre not bad. :-)
Meh. there are many more interesting, useful trees, IMHO.
ANYTHING can grow in a pot!!! Don't forget, when we order our trees they COME in POTS.
Toni, the site said that when you cut them open, you will find a mass of sticky seeds (as Dr. Manners said too).The whole fruit is not a seed! Any seed can be started in a pot & grown in a pot. I like that they make an interesting hedge as MM says. I wouldn't mind starting a couple to grow myself!
Toni, the Osage Orage would be hardy for you. It is weedy around here. It will grow anywhere in any soil. We call it Hedgeapple because it was once used for hedgerows. Kids love to throw the fruits. The wood is very rot-resistant and EXTREMELY hard. You'll sharpen a lot of chainsaw blades clearing this tree from your woodlands. I think that the seeds will need stratification.
Dirr says: "not worth recommending for the residential landscape; has potential for rugged, polluted areas..." Get yourself a nice hornbeam instead.
Garn, I know, I know, spiders devour plant bugs, but to be honest, I'd rather do the chore myself..LOL..I am terrified of these ugly, thick-bodied creatures. They can live outdoors, and munch away on my garden plants.
According to the site AAE shared, many people state this plant keeps crickets, roaches, spiders, and even mice away..Whether or not it's fact or fiction, I can't say..Some people swear by it.
Patty, I agree..
MM, we must remember, citrus also are grown in pots, and they're meant to be set in the ground..yet we grow them in our warm, stuffy homes..Also, this is just an experiment. Living in Il, if the seed germinate, and live, they can only grow as large as the pot/sun/temps permits.
People grow Bonsai in small containers..many are outdoor trees, some very very old..Maple/Oaks are good examples.
Since I have the seed, I thought I'd give it a try. It was a freebie, and what do I have to lose? But thanks, anyway..I sense you take growing seriously.
AAE,yes, Marigolds keep bugs at bay, too, and they sell dwarf varieties..I have grown them in winter, but you know what happened? They suddenly got a case of spidermites LOL> I had the French, dwarf type. Toni
Toni - That is a good point about the bonsai trees. However, if you've ever known a bonsai enthusiast, then you know that it is more of a religion than it is a hobby. It's an every day thing. And with dozens of plants like you have, keeping a bonsai version of the Hedge Apple would be a real chore. Furthermore, the fruit are somewhat large. I don't know how feasible it would be to have a bonsai of this variety.
About the Marigolds and insects, you've made another good point. I suppose pests are a part of gardening. Don't count on horseapples to reduce the pest population. A lot of people may believe it works. But there are also a lot of people that believe Elvis is still alive. Keep that in mind before you go planting a monstrous tree.
It's certainly worth a try, but the comparison to citrus in pots is not valid. Citrus, being subtropical or tropical plants, have no need of winter chilling. Most temperate deciduous trees (including, I assume, Maclura), have an absolute requirement for a certain amount of chilling to bring them out of winter dormancy, without which they, at the very least, become very unhealthy, and in most cases, they die. Now, if you have an unheated garage or basement where you could put the pot in winter, fine -- that should do the trick. But in a short-sleeve-comfortable living room, I'd not expect survival past the first year.
Certainly, one never, ever sees Maclura pomifera in central Florida, and the only reason I know of is the same reason we also don't see white oak, red oak, sugar maple, etc. -- we don't get enough winter chilling.
MM, and I envy your sunny, warm, climate..LOL..
Yes, as a matter of fact I've an unheated garage this fruit, if it lives, can be overwintered. Thanks for the thought..one thing, will it need much sun?
There are two windows in the garage, facing west, but considering our cloudy seasons, it won't be getting much light..What's your opinion? Thanks, Toni
Toni, I don't think I'd store it in extreme darkness, but near a window should be fine. It will have dropped all its leaves anyway, so photosynthesis is not an issue. Alternatively, you could leave it outside by "planting" it, pot and all. What you would not want to do is leave the potted plant outside, above-ground for the winter, because then all of the roots would freeze,and that would likely not be a good thing.
MM, you are so funny...We are really jumping the gun. I don't know if this fruit will root to begin with..LOL..
I'd like to experiment with it, and whatever happens, happens..
STressbaby, you mention stratification..did you mean removing outer layer of seed, or arranging in layers? If layers, why is that? Toni
Stratification is a process for breaking dormancy in a seed, generally by a cold treatment. The link below suggests both 48 hours soak AND 2 months of stratification for Osage Orange...I've seen 48 hour soak alone and 1 month of stratification alone as well, it doesn't look like Osage orange is too picky. The stratification could be done by putting the seeds in the fridge.
Also note that the plant is dioecious. Male plants won't bear fruit.
Here is a link that might be useful: Osage orange seed treatment
Stress, thanks for clarifying your response..
Yes, I read the seeds need a cooling period..I will place in the fridge.
I'm hoping my seeds are female..LOL..
The site AAE posted explained about males unable to bear fruit. What it didn't mention was if some seed in a solo fruit were male and others female.
Again, to the person who emailed me about seed, please write back..I accidently deleted the letter..Toni
I have read that the Ugli fruit originated in Jamaica and was found growing wild. It is not clearly understood what the parentage is. There seemingly has been an observation of the fruit and a conclusion drawn that it is derived from a pommelo and a tangerine. I think it is an interesting variety of a citrus tree to have.
Rainwater, I have to chuckle when I see posts from 2005 and earlier, suddenly brought up to date..lol..
Thanks..I didn't sow the seed..I have NO idea how grafting is done, so that fruit was ripe, and decided to germinate, all I'd have s a mess..a bushy, thorny plant. Nor did I find a grafted tree for sale, (not any in my budget anyway) so passed it up..
How I'd love living in Jamaica where Uglifruit grow wild, instead of cold, dark, arid Illinois, where you have to watch over plants night and day..
Thanks for checking it out though..It's interesting. Toni

Amazon Debuts First Trailer for 'Zombieland' SeriesApril 18, 2013 03:04:11
Amazon has debuted the first trailer for "Zombieland", a series adaptation of the 2009 cult comedy film of the same title. With Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, writers of the original work, involved in the series, the show still has the interesting combination of action, horror and comedy shown in the film.
Similar to the big-screen version, the online series follows a group of four survivors, Tallahassee, Wichita, Columbus and Little Rock, who are outwitting zombies and searching for a place to call home. The characters, who were made famous by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin in the film, are played by Tyler Ross, Kirk Ward, Maiara Walsh and Izabela Vidovic.
'Zombieland' TV Version Heading to FOXOctober 18, 2011 02:10:37
Becoming a surprising hit in 2009, "Zombieland" is being developed as a TV series. New York Magazine's Vulture has learned that FOX Broadcasting and Sony Pictures Television are working to get the small screen version of the zombie-themed movie ready to air in 2012 or 2013.
Confirming the news, producer Gavin Polone said that "Zombieland" was initially conceived as a TV show before heading to the big screen. Back in 2005, CBS ordered a pilot script for the concept, but passed on it after taking "all the good stuff out," Polone revealed. Syfy was later interested in it, but financial issue prevented the network from giving a greenlight to the project.

I thought to define a $scope variable once the 'fileuploadchange' event triggers at least one, and if this variable remain undefined, use another submit handler on the click or submit event. But there must be a cleaner way than that.

I am no physicist, but I find the field of quantum computing very attractive. I sometimes wonder how it should work, on what principals it stands, and what a real quantum computer should be capable of.
Recently D-Wave project announced their first commercially available quantum computer, but almost immediately, others voiced opinions that it is not truly a quantum computer at all... I have read some articles about this dispute, but I still don´t think that I clearly understand what the problem is.
Can someone provide some simplified explanation of how quantum computer works and what minimally qualifies it as a true quantum computer? Any references for further study would also be appreciated. (I have read wiki pages and some blogs concerning this subject)

The staff reception, the quietness of the room and the quiet location. The A/C was quieter than most which was extremely pleasing. The price was fair - good value.
The room was a little small but really not a significant complaint.
Very comfortable, clean beds
Its location was a bit isolated,not nearby anything.
The manager was extremely helpful and friendly!! They called my room after I checked in to see how my room was! Very nice!
I will stay there again!!
Breakfast, cost

Can't think of anything.
Fantastic breakfast. Great location. Friendly staff. Clean room.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
