One of the most significant challenges in the comparative analysis of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) metabolome profiles is the occurrence of shifts between peaks across different spectra, for example caused by fluctuations in pH, temperature, instrument factors and ion content. Proper alignment of spectral peaks is therefore often a crucial preprocessing step prior to downstream quantitative analysis. Various alignment methods have been developed specifically for this purpose. Other methods were originally developed to align other data types (GC, LC, SELDI-MS,
Although Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool for quantitative metabolomics profiling, one of the aspects that hamper robust differential analysis is the fact that the resonance frequencies of peaks can undergo shifts. A variety of factors, often related to an imperfect control of experimental conditions, contribute to inconsistent peak shifts, including physicochemical interactions and differences in pH, temperature, background matrix or ionic strength [
A simple and popular solution to extract intensities from multiple spectra prior to comparative analysis is spectral bucketing or binning. Binning consists of dividing the spectra into small buckets (typically 0.04 ppm), which are ideally large enough to encompass peak shift variations [
Hypothetical examples of how binning addresses peak shifts. (
To deal with these problems, various improvements to the binning approach have been developed. For example, instead of using fixed bin sizes, Davis
The solution to process and compare spectra with peak shifts consists of peak alignment. A number of peak alignment approaches have been specifically developed for NMR spectroscopy. Other methods were originally proposed for similar data, such as LCMS or GCMS spectra. In this review we discuss and compare the available peak alignment methods that are directly and without special adaptation applicable to NMR spectra.
NMR spectrum alignment is a process to correct for variations in the position of peaks across NMR spectra, by introducing a series of shifts that individual data points undergo. The process is illustrated in
Example of a spectral region before and after alignment using CluPA [
The calculation of the optimal set of shifts to align spectra is computationally non-trivial, and a number of choices need to be made along this process, each with repercussions on the final outcome. A list of NMR alignment methods is presented in
While most NMR alignment methods work directly on the data points of the spectra, some approaches work with representatives of the spectra instead, by first converting spectra into peak lists. The size of such a list of peaks extracted or "picked" from the spectrum is much smaller than the original spectrum. This improves computational performance of the subsequent alignment, or allows for computationally more demanding techniques to be used.

A general framework of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrum alignment methods. The stacked blocks with white background represent possible methodological variations.
Many effective and advanced peak picking algorithms are available. In all cases, accurate peak detection is required to build a quality alignment. For a discussion and comparison of peak picking methods we refer the reader elsewhere [
In general, peak lists are used to compute how individual data points of each spectrum should be shifted to optimally align all input spectra. First, the extracted peak lists of different spectra are compared to find corresponding peaks. To align these peaks, a set of shifts is computed, which are subsequently applied to the intact spectra. Methods differ in how they find corresponding peaks and their regions, in how shifts are computed, and in how they are applied.
The first example is PARS [
In FW [
The major advantage of an intermediate peak-picking step is the reduced data size. Consequently, these methods are generally faster than methods working on whole spectra, like COW [
A second criterion by which we can classify alignment approaches is the fact whether a reference spectrum is needed or not. In pairwise methods, a reference spectrum is selected to which all the other spectra are subsequently aligned. With inter-sample methods, all samples are taken into account for the alignment.
Most NMR alignment methods are based on pairwise approaches, which are generally less complex. In pairwise methods, a reference spectrum is selected or created first. Other spectra are aligned to this reference one by one. The reference spectrum should be representative for the whole dataset and ideally contains all peaks of interest. Due to its strong impact on the ultimate alignment, a number of reference selection approaches have been proposed. There are generally two reference types. Either the reference is a virtual spectrum that is artificially created from the dataset, or the reference is a directly selected spectrum from the dataset.
A virtual reference spectrum can be built in different ways. The reference spectrum may be a median or average spectrum constructed from the dataset [
Alternatively, users can select the reference from multiple trials. In FW [
Even though reference-based approaches are relatively simple and popular, there are some disadvantages. Due to the variability between spectra not all important peaks are present in all individual spectra and thus in the selected reference. Significant differences may exist between spectra depending on the group they belong to. The quality of the results therefore depends on the selected reference spectrum.
Although most alignment methods follow pairwise approaches that depend on a reference, there are a few that can do alignment without a reference.
By considering the whole spectral data as an image, GFHT [
A third inter-sample method is PCANS [
The next distinction between different alignment workflows can be made according to whether they align complete spectra or smaller segments.
A first group of methods, considers the whole spectra for alignment. For example PTW [
These methods usually get slow when the size of the spectra increases. To address this performance problem, a class of methods was developed to divide spectra into smaller corresponding segments, to which the alignment is subsequently applied. PLF [
Alignment is an optimization problem, in which a set of parameters needs to be estimated. A typical factor in optimization techniques is the "target function", which is the criterion by which candidate or partial solutions are evaluated throughout the alignment process. Even though different NMR alignment methods have different underlying principles, they often use similar optimization criteria. A common criterion is Pearson correlation coefficient, which can be maximized between segment pairs [
After finding the corresponding points or segments in spectra, the alignment methods need to correct the misalignment. A first class of methods uses stretching/compression (or insertion/deletion) to correct the misalignment spectra. Usually, stretching/compression is done by a linear interpolation to fit the corresponding segments in the reference [
After alignment, the aligned spectra need to be evaluated to assess the quality of alignment methods. Below we discuss different levels of evaluation of aligned spectrum sets.
Visualization is a powerful approach to rapidly assess the properties of a dataset, and in the context of this review, to evaluate the quality of an alignment procedure. We can visualize a number of relevant features in a few different ways, as illustrated in
A good alignment usually leads to an increased correspondence between spectra. Inter-spectrum similarity is thus a useful criterion for the evaluation of alignments. The most popular approach to evaluate inter-spectrum similarity consists of comparing average Pearson correlation coefficients of spectra before and after alignment [
Examples of evaluation by using visualizations for a region in the Wine data [
Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is a technique to project high-dimensional data into linearly uncorrelated vectors or principle components, in such a way that the first component represents the majority of the variance in the data, with subsequent components representing decreasing variance. PCA is a natural way to express data and discover data patterns based on their similarities. The fact that features of PCA before and after alignment are different can be used for evaluation of alignment in several ways. Vogels
In studies where metabolome profiles are used to compare or classify different sample classes, the classification accuracy itself gives an indication on alignment quality. A good alignment should improve the accuracy. In general, any classifier that is used for classifying metabolome profiles can be used for this purpose, for example SVM [
Instead of using classifiers as a black box, we can also evaluate alignment according to specific properties derived from a classification model. For example, a back-scaled loading coefficients of an OPLS classifier has been used [
There are a number of other metrics to evaluate alignment quality. One is the relative standard deviation of peak intensity as in GFHT [
Comparing the speed of all NMR alignment methods is not trivial, since the computational time of some algorithms depends on parameter setting. For example, searching in PABS [
SpecAlign [
Most NMR alignment methods rely on a set of user-defined parameters. Optimizing these parameters is a challenge for most users. Different data sets may require different parameter settings. In practice, most users try a few parameter sets and select the set that yields the best result, without a guarantee that they selected the best possible set of parameters. The more parameters a method requires, the more complicated and difficult it becomes to use. Consequently, some methods attempt to reduce the number of user-set parameter without sacrificing (as much as possible) the performance of the alignment. An overview of the numbers of parameters of several algorithms is presented in
1D 1H-NMR is used in the majority of NMR-based metabolome profiling studies because it is a fast approach to determine the biomolecular constituents of a sample. When working on complex biological samples however, there is often significant overlap between different signals. 2D NMR, usually in the combination 1H-13C, is a good alternative to overcome this problem. 2D NMR improves the understanding of the structure of an organic compound, but it is also affected by peak shifting problems. Since 1D NMR alignment methods cannot be applied directly on 2D NMR data, dedicated 2D NMR alignment methods are needed. Only a few methods are available for this type of data. Binning can be used to compare imperfectly aligned 2D NMR datasets, but has the disadvantages discussed earlier for 1D NMR. Since 2D NMR datasets can be considered as images, image-processing techniques from the computer vision field could be applied for finding matching points in the image. However, applying them to high-resolution 2D NMR data remains a challenge. Zheng
NMR spectrum alignment remains a difficult problem for which there is no golden standard solution. For example the problem of peak order changes mentioned by Csenki

Synagogue At least one Jewish family living in the area has been traced back as far as 1842. Eventually the group grew to 13 families, who declared themselves a community in 1886. On the 31st of October 1900, Reading Synagogue officially opened with an engaging public ceremony, packed to capacity with dignitaries, and lead by the then Chief Rabbi Hermann Marcus Adler. The beautiful Synagogue, a Grade 2 listed, to a traditional design, in the Moorish style has a warm and homely feel and stands to-day on its original site at the junction of Goldsmid Road and Clifton Street, which is also within a 5 minutes walk from the town centre.

Free OS pioneer NetBSD marks its fifteenth birthday tomorrow. The first commits were made to the NetBSD source code repository on
March 21, 1993. In addition to the robust OS it is, NetBSD code has contributed to countless other projects. Congratulations to NetBSD contributors past and present.
This says it all:
Code from NetBSD has been included in countless other projects, Open Source and otherwise.
I've said this before, but there is a tremendous glut of fantastic OSes and applications in the FOSS world -- both BSD and Linux projects (and others). They compete and feed off one another, which makes for an interesting ongoing relationship.
Looking at the proposed timelines for NetBSD; I have seen the NetBSD/usermode is "pencilled" to the next 5.0 release (scheduled for Q4/2008).
That is a very nice feature that will allow having several virtual NetBSDs running on top of NetBSD on several architectures, on top of Linux, or, maybe, on top of Interix...
Really great!

Broadway Theatre
1681 Broadway,
New York,
7 people favorited this theater
Showing 1 - 25 of 46 comments
Does anyone know the size of the screen installed at the Broadway for the premiere of "This Is Cinerama"?
Coincidentally, this pic, also from October, 1931, and posted back in May of 2012, shows the marquee advertising what appears to be essentially the same bill. Barto & Mann seem to be listed on the marquee in place of Al Trahan?
Wow… 1931! I wonder how big that "giant" television screen was – not to mention how grainy or fuzzy the image was, at that size!
Note the CINE ROMA verticle sign at the far near corner of the marquee. This name and concept moved around between the Ambassador, Piccadilly and Broadway in the late thirties.
"Steamboat Willie" opened at this Colony. The 79th Street was not named Colony until 1937.
I've found some websites that say that "Steamboat Willie" premiered at the Broadway Theatre in 1928 when it was the Colony and other websites that say it premiered at the 79th Street Theatre which later was renamed the Colony. I am curious to know which is correct.
In addition to the renovations mentioned in the opening the Broadway "suffered" a major modification when Candide played there. Basically it was converted to an arena with a large portion of the orchestra seating replaced by the stage.
Great photos on that site! Thanks for sharing, CWalczak! I love the surreptitious shots of the screen during the film… Really gives an idea as to how overwhelming the image must have been, particularly to those who had until that time been used to standard Academy ratio for so long!
The page for the Broadway Theatre in Roland Lataille's database of Cinerama theaters has a picture of the ground floor booths for Cinerama at the Broadway. Considering that the center booth shows only a single projection port, my guess would be that the high booth was used for the prologue. See http://cinerama.topcities.com/ctbroadway.htm
Back on Feb 19, 2010, Ret. AKC(NAC) Bob Jensen answered a question regarding Cinerama presentation that I had posed 4 years earlier. I would now like to take this opportunity, more than a year AFTER that response, to say "Many thanks, Sir!"
And re-register for notifications on this page, while I'm at it.
This photograph of the B.S. Moss Broadway Theatre was taken in 1931 by George Mann of the comedy dance team, Barto and Mann.
Interior & exterior photos, including historic ones:
Ed Solero-
I don't think your question of Jan 10, 2006 was ever answered.
"for the CINERAMA exhibition, did they use the high projection booth? Or did they build a booth at the rear of the orchestra?"
Here's the answer, over 4 years later!
They actually built 3 booths at the rear of the orchestra.
This causes me to want to know, did they use the high projection booth for the black and white, standard film, Lowell Thomas Prologue or the Bravo Booth?
I'm with AGR on this. In 1996 a Dayton, Ohio theater installed Cinerama for what was supposed to be a two-week run. It wound up running for more than three years (weekends only). I realize NYC has more tourist attractions than Dayton, but still … :) And Cinerama still draws crowds in LA whenever it is shown there.
It's a shame NYC does not have a Cinerama theater like LA and Seattle. It would be a big tourism attraction.
A few more details on CINERAMA at the Broadway.
This, of course, was a 3-strip CINERAMA location.
It had a 146 degree LOUVERED, 78 ft by 26 ft, screen!
The first CINERAMA movie, THIS IS CINERAMA, had it's World Premiere at the Broadway on Tuesday, September 30, 1952. It ran for 35 weeks, till Thursday, June, 4 1953!
THIS IS CINERAMA then transfered to the Warner Theater, on Friday, June 5, 1953 and ran for another 88 weeks!
This means THIS IS CINERAMA had a 123 week run (THAT'S ALMOST 2 YEARS AND 5 MONTHS!), the longest running movie engagement in the history on New York City!
"Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS IS CINERAMA!" Lowell Thomas, September 30, 1952
Skinner Organ Company of Boston, Massachusetts installed a pipe organ in the Broadway/Colony Theater in 1924. It was Opus 485, a 4 Manual/32 Rank with 2,153 pipes. I know it was played by George Brock in 1927 and that's the last thing I can find out about the organ. Anyone know what happened to this organ after that?
My grandmother "performed" as a lingerie model/dancer? in a/the Parisian Lingerie Revue. The first production was presented before the movie "Devil's Island" with Pauline Frederick, and the second edition of the revue played before a production of "Oh Baby", a play with Graham McNamee, a few weeks later. I'm writing about her experiences on Broadway and am looking for more info on this time period and these particular performances. If anyone's interested, I can post playbill and ads for these shows.
Plenty of showmanship and style in that program. Makes you want to attend that theatre. I appreciate S. Porridge letting us see it.
Link to a 1927 program from the Colony:
Visited the Broadway in 2003 to see Baz Luhrmann's "La Boheme" — thanks to all for filling in the history and various aliases.

Penguin Young Readers Group has just announced that it will publish a self-esteem book for young girls penned by actress Elizabeth Berkley. I presume that it'll be more Saved By the Bell than Showgirls, or at least I sincerely hope that it will.
Ask Elizabeth is set hit bookstores next spring, and is based on workshops Berkley has organized over the last four years in which she discusses teen issues with groups of girls, with topics ranging from body image to dating to how not to get so addicted to caffeine pills that you freak out and start cry-singing Pointer Sisters songs. What do you think? Would you want helpful advice on how to navigate high school from Jessie Spano?

If choking it keeps it running it does sound starved for fuel. Float valve can stick or stuff can block flow even if the float and valve operate correctly. I had a head gasket leaking water into the combustion chamber on a 2 HP older motor and with choke on it would at least run. The evidence was in removing the spark plug and shining light on the piston to observe tiny droplets on the piston. Very little water, but gasoline will generally not leave this evidence so I replaced head gasket. The gasket gave me even better indication where the leak was.
Lastly, if the float or valve were not filling the carb bowl with gas due to sticking would expect a shot of starting fluid while it falters would bring up the rpm as the fuel shortage would be remedied and the intake path wouldn't be blocked. Hope this helps and let us know what you find.

Dachs, Jordi and Lohmann, Rainer and Ockenden, Wendy A. and Méjanelle, Laurence and Eisenreich, Steven J. and Jones, Kevin C. (2002) Oceanic biogeochemical controls on global dynamics of persistent organic pollutants. Environmental Science and Technology, 36 (20). pp. 4229-4237. ISSN 0013-936X
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Understanding and quantifying the global dynamics and sinks of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is important to assess their environmental impact and fate. Air-surface exchange processes, where temperature plays a central role in controlling volatilization and deposition, are of key importance in controlling global POP dynamics. The present study is an assessment of the role of oceanic biogeochemical processes, notably phytoplankton uptake and vertical fluxes of particles, on the global dynamics of POPs. Field measurements of atmospheric polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), and furans (PCDFs) are combined with remote sensing estimations of oceanic temperature, wind speed, and chlorophyll, to model the interactions between air−water exchange, phytoplankton uptake, and export of organic matter and POPs out of the mixed surface ocean layer. Deposition is enhanced in the mid-high latitudes and is driven by sinking marine particulate matter, rather than by a cold condensation effect. However, the relative contribution of the biological pump is a function of the physical-chemical properties of POPs. It is concluded that oceanic biogeochemical processes play a critical role in controlling the global dynamics and the ultimate sink of POPs.

CAMP AS SAYLIYAH, Qatar -- "Jessica Lynch," a U.S. soldier called out. "We are United States soldiers, and we're here to protect you and take you home."
On her hospital bed, Pfc. Jessica Lynch peered out from the sheet with which she'd been covering her head in fear.
"I'm an American soldier, too," she replied.
U.S. Central Command on Saturday released the details of Lynch's rescue, as the 19-year-old supply clerk, now safely at a U.S. military hospital in Germany, awaited a meeting with her family.
Lynch's parents, two siblings and a cousin left West Virginia on Saturday to fly to Germany for the reunion with their daughter.
"I can't wait to see her," said her mother, Deadra Lynch.
Air Force Maj. Gen. Gene Renuart, speaking at a briefing in Qatar, said a team of Navy SEALs, Marine commandos, Air Force pilots and Army Rangers carried out the rescue Tuesday in the southern Iraqi city of Nasiriyah.
While troops engaged the Iraqis in another part of the city, the rescue team persuaded an Iraqi lawyer to lead them to Lynch, Renuart said.
Lynch, who'd been held since March 23 when her 507th Maintenance Company convoy was ambushed, had a head wound, an injury to her spine, and fractures to her right arm, both legs, her right foot and ankle. The rescuers evaluated her condition, secured her to a stretcher and took her to a helicopter.
"Jessica held up her hand and grabbed the Ranger doctor's hand, and held onto it for the entire time, and said, 'Please don't let anybody leave me,"' Renuart said. "It was clear she knew where she was and didn't want to be left anywhere near the enemy."
An Iraqi doctor told the team there were remains of other U.S. soldiers nearby, and they were led to a burial site. Because they had not brought shovels, Renuart said, the team dug up the bodies with their hands.
"They wanted to do that very rapidly, so they could race the sun and be off the site before the sun came up," he said. "It's a great testament to the will and desire of coalition forces to bring their own home."
Renuart did not shed any light on how Lynch was wounded -- whether she was injured in captivity or in the ambush.

First Vintage Market Days set for June
When Amy Scott and Dianna Brown set out to create their first Vintage Market Days event two years ago, they focused on Tulsa.
"There were other events, actually a lot in Texas that (Dianna) and I both loved … and we just felt like Tulsa needed something," Scott said in an interview Friday.
Today, Scott and Brown's Vintage Market Days LLC has expanded beyond their hometown to include events in Oklahoma City, St. Louis, northwest Arkansas and Fort Worth, and McKinney, Texas.
Next month, Vintage Market Days will make its first showing in the Wichita area, June 20 through June 22 at Mattox Arena, 4418 E. 83rd St. South in Derby.
The event is expected to include more than 65 vendors from Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas that sell art, handcrafted items including jewelry and clothing, and vintage items such as furniture.
"A lot of people would say it's like a Pinterest board (except) live," Scott said. "Our show is an event, it's not just like a little craft show. We always have a theme."
The theme of the Wichita show is "an eclectic summertime affair."
A portion of the Wichita show's proceeds will be donated to the Wichita Women's Initiative Network, which supports women who have suffered mental or physical abuse.
Scott said the idea to expand the show beyond Tulsa came from some of Vintage Market Days' vendors.
"After the first two events, some vendors asked if they could have Vintage Market Days in other places, and we just started licensing to vendors," she said. "Now, we're a franchise."
The Wichita Vintage Market Days has been licensed to Michele Blackwill.
Scott said attendance at Vintage Market Days events so far this year has been between 3,500 and 5,500. She said the highest attendance Vintage Market Days has recorded in its short history was more than 8,000.
Local sponsors of Wichita Vintage Market Days are Melissa Kelly Imagery, Endless Treasures LLC and the Cottage Collective.

text: OCTOBER 3, 2004 GOLDEN GATE FERRY JOINS COAST GUARD AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO INITIATE NEW FERRY "RIDE ALONG" PROGRAMOn Wednesday, September 15, 2004, the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Office San Francisco Bay, in conjunction with the Golden Gate Ferry and Blue and Gold Ferry Fleet, Marin County Sheriffs, Sausalito Police Department, Twin Cities Police Department, San Francisco Police Department, Alameda County Sheriffs, Oakland Police Department, and Vallejo Police Department, launched a new San Francisco Bay Ferry "Ride Along" Program. The new program partners uniformed law enforcement personnel with Coast Guard Sea Marshals to increase law enforcement presence on the San Francisco Bay ferry systems. The program enables both on- and off-duty law enforcement officers to ride Golden Gate ferries and Blue and Gold Fleet ferries to aid in maintaining a constant vigilance on the Bay. According to Mr. Jim Swindler, Golden Gate Ferry division manager, "While the Coast Guard is the sole law enforcement entity with authority throughout the many jurisdictional boundaries that our ferries pass each day, this initiative joins local agencies together to increase law enforcement presence throughout the Bay. The news "Ride Along" Program is just one example of how the Coast Guard and local law enforcement agencies are uniting to find new ways to increase security on the Bay." This program is in addition to the Coast Guard's existing Sea Marshall Program launched after September 11, 2001, where uniformed Coast Guard officers board ferries randomly. |

by Mike Brennan on October 25th, 2004 |
We have seen many submarine movies over the past few decades, some of which have provided some very good scores. From Basil Poledouris' Russian Hymn in The Hunt for Red October to Hans Zimmer's award-winning electronically driven, anthemic Crimson Tide to the orchestral bombast of Das Boot and U-571, submarine thrillers have been expressed with a wide range of musical soundscapes. Leigh Harline - known for his collaborations with Walt Disney productions - composed the score for The Enemy Below, an early World War II submarine film from 1957. This film is composed of a rousing military march style fanfare in the "Main Title", which is used constantly throughout the score in various motifs.
Intrada's special release of this score is good, with a surprisingly clear sound for an old recording. The style of music is vastly different from most film music today, but it is a style that some composers have been returning to, such as Michael Giacchino in his music for the Medal of Honor series and Secret Weapons Over Normandy. One thing I like about the other submarine scores mentioned above is how they all have some way of giving the film an "underwater" sound, the ambient, pinging electronics in both Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide are just one example. The Enemy Below could easily have accompanied a film about D-Day. The one exception is the cue "Ocean Bottom", which uses the low brass to give a somewhat muddled underscore. Two cues are a collection of music from scenes in the film and are strung together to make lengthy action suites, which make up two of the better tracks on the album.
Harline's music is very appropriate for the film, never straying from the militaristic fanfare style. Intrada's release is very good and does justice to the score. However, the end of the album is a little strange. It includes a few micro-cues under 30 seconds long that are orchestral music acting as radar blips. The other tracks at the end are songs, three being different versions of "So Leben Wir" a drinking song. While many collectors might like these songs from the film - as many do for Das Boot - I found them to be a poor conclusion to the album.

See It In Action
No need to mobilize large crews and equipment, Aquaphalt is simply poured into the area to be repaired, leveled with a rake or trowel, sprinkled with water and compacted with a hand-tamper or roller.
1 | Remove all loose debris and sweep clean the area to be patched. |
2 | Place material in hole and level with a rake or shovel. Ensure that the material stands above the existing surface to allow for compaction. If the depth of the area to be patched is greater than 2.5 inches, place material in two layers. |
3 | Soak material evenly with water; 1 quart of water per container is recommended. Excess water will not damage the material! |
4 | Compact to a smooth finish with a hand-tamper or roller. |
*Note—Since Aquaphalt binds and cures with water, it should be stored in its sealed container until just prior to use to prevent it from reacting with ambient moisture.

Alfred d'Orsay
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (August 2009) |
Alfred Grimod d'Orsay, known as the comte d'Orsay (Count of Orsay) (Alfred Guillaume Gabriel; 4 September 1801–4 August 1852) was a French amateur artist, dandy, and man of fashion in the early- to mid-19th century.
He was born in Paris, the second son of Albert Gaspard Grimaud, a Bonapartist general. His mother was Eleanore de Franquemont, an illegitimate daughter of the Duke of Württemberg and the Italian adventuress Anne Franchi. His elder brother died in infancy.
In 1821, he entered the French army of the restored Bourbon monarchy (against his own Bonapartist tendencies), attending the lavish coronation of George IV of the United Kingdom in London that year (staying until 1822) and serving as a Garde du Corps of Louis XVIII. While in London he formed an acquaintance with Charles Gardiner, 1st Earl of Blessington and Marguerite, Countess of Blessington, which quickly ripened into intimacy. William Benemann in his book "Men of Paradise" is of the conclusion that there is evidence of a sexual relation between Alfred and both The Earl and the Countess. The following year the couple visited him where he was stationed at Valence on the Rhone, and at the invitation of the earl he accompanied the party on their tour through Italy.
In the spring of 1823, he met Lord Byron at Genoa, and the published correspondence of the poet at this period contains numerous references to d'Orsay's gifts and accomplishments, and to his peculiar relationship to the Blessington family. A diary which d'Orsay had kept during his visit to London in 1821–1822 was submitted to Byron's inspection, and was much praised by him for the knowledge of men and manners and the keen faculty of observation it displayed.
On 1 December 1827, Count d'Orsay married Lady Harriet Gardiner, a girl of fifteen, the daughter of Lord Blessington by his previous wife. The union, if it rendered his connection with the Blessington family less ostensibly equivocal than before, was in other respects an unhappy one, and a legal separation took place in 1838, at which Lady Harriet paid over £100,000 to his creditors (though even this did not cover all his debts) in exchange for d'Orsay giving up all claims to the Blessington estate.
After the death of Lord Blessington, which occurred in 1829, the widowed countess returned to England, accompanied by d'Orsay, and her home, first at Seamore Place, then at Gore House, soon became a resort of the fashionable literary and artistic society of London, which found an equal attraction in host and in hostess. The count's charming manner, brilliant wit, and artistic faculty were accompanied by benevolent moral qualities, which endeared him to all his associates. His skill as a painter and sculptor was shown in numerous portraits and statuettes representing his friends, which were marked by great vigour and truthfulness, if wanting in the finish that can only be reached by persistent discipline.
It was at Gore House that d'Orsay met Benjamin Disraeli and Edward Bulwer-Lytton, themselves young men of fashion who dabbled in the arts. D'Orsay and Disraeli were good friends in the 1830s–to the point that Disraeli asked d'Orsay to be his second, when it appeared that Disraeli would fight a duel with Morgan O'Connell, the son of Irish agitator Daniel O'Connell. D'Orsay declined, on the grounds of being a foreigner, and Disraeli went with Henry Baillie, a mutual friend. The character of Count Alcibiades de Mirabel in Disraeli's novel Henrietta Temple was modeled on d'Orsay, to whom the book was dedicated.
Count d'Orsay had been from his youth a zealous Bonapartist, and one of the most frequent guests at Gore House was Prince Louis Napoleon. In 1849 the count went bankrupt, and the establishment at Gore House being broken up, he went to Paris. Lady Blessington sold almost all her possessions and followed him there, but died a few weeks after her arrival, leaving him heartbroken. He endeavoured to provide for himself by painting portraits. He was deep in the counsels of the prince president (who had also returned to Paris from exile, and been elected president the year before d'Orsay arrived), but relations between them were less cordial after Louis's 1851 coup d'état (in which he became Emperor Napoleon III), of which the count had expressed his strong disapproval.
Reluctant to entrust d'Orsay with any affairs of state, Napoleon III finally offered him the position of director of the Beaux-Arts. Within a few months of the appointment, however, D'Orsay contracted a spinal infection, of which he died on 4 August 1852 in the house of his sister Ida, duchesse de Gramont, at Chambourcy, just a few days after his appointment had been officially announced. He had designed a pyramidal grey stone tomb for Lady Blessington at Chambourcy, and he too was buried in it, with Napoleon III among the mourners at the funeral.

True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard Goes Shirtless in Family Picture! (PHOTO)
If you caught True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard on Conan recently, you know that the super hunky, six foot four Swedish actor has no problem with being in the buff. In fact, he even joked that he never saw his dad (esteemed actor Stellan Skarsgard) in pants until he was about 14 years old. Much to Stellan's dismay, Alexander even made a joke about the – ahem – small size of the ship, if you get our drift. As Alexander told Conan in the interview, Swedes have no problem with nudity compared to us uptight Americans (he didn't say it that way, but you know what we mean).
A Skarsgard family photo has since arisen and, not surprisingly, Alexander is shirtless. He is wearing pants, however. Sorry, ladies. Everyone else is completely clothed, so we're not quite sure why Alexander went sans shirt, but we're not complaining.
The actor has an enormous family, with five siblings and two half-siblings being pictured. Oh, how we'd love to go to their family reunion.
Do you think Alexander is the hottest Skarsgard sibling? Sound off in the comments!

Catch the next episode of True Blood on Sunday, July 7 at 9 p.m. EST on HBO.

High temperature measurements of martensitic transformations using digital holography |
Applied Optics, Vol. 52, Issue 19, pp. 4426-4432 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (804 KB)
During thermal cycling of nickel-aluminum-platinum (NiAlPt) and single crystal iron-chromium-nickel (FeCrNi) alloys, the structural changes associated with the martensite to austenite phase transformation were measured using dual-wavelength digital holography. Real-time in situ measurements reveal the formation of striations within the NiAlPt alloy at 70°C and the FeCrNi alloy at 520°C. The results demonstrate that digital holography is an effective technique for acquiring noncontact, high precision information of the surface evolution of alloys at high temperatures.

For one reason or another—the high-ticket art work, snooty clientel and money-grubbing owners—many local artists see the traditional gallery scene as an outdated commercial system. And they want no part of it.

It's not a big deal. It's showbiz (close enough) and you get to say who you want out there. Plus, there is an audition process - I bet if a 47 year old went through it and made it, they wouldn't be thrown out for their age.

Lifelong fan, five year fantasy player. If I'm in a fantasy league with strangers, I don't announce my gender; I assume most people are the same. So you've probably been playing with 1/4 women and just didn't know it. It doesn't surprise me at all. Our SpoFi league is at least 16% women. . .if there is one more team being managed by a woman and I'm just not aware of it, that'd be about 22%, close to the figure in the article.

If you had to pick one to agree with and one to disagree with, what would they be? I disagree with more of them than I agree with, but it was a fun read.

Saw him on TV last night, clarifying his statement to say that such a rule would have a disproportionately negative effect on black players - not that The NBA has a conscious racist agenda. Well spoken guy. (And he came straight from HS) They could have made the rule when this first started happening, but now it would seem. . .well. . .unfair. As O'Neal said, let the best players play, regardless of age. I'm glad I heard the interview, it changed my mind. . .or at least, I'm glad he spoke on the issue, as one who went through the experience himself.

I seem to be putting off the inevitable (getting down to work on a lesbian murder incest opera...) and came across Kieran Foley's website. I'm not a great lace fan, but I fund his designs really inspiring. There are some free patterns there too...
I've enjoyed Kieran's site for some time and "favourited" several of his patterns on Ravelry.
At least we know it wasn't the butler this time.
Taking another stab at the lace, eh? good luck.
Do we? Could the incestuous butler be murdered by the lesbian? Could a incestuous lesbian kill the butler to keep him quiet? Could the lesbian be the law looking into an incestuous butler how killed the cook because the cook served bad coffee (justifiable homicide in my opinion)
I will just have to wait until the weight challenged lady sings to find out.
Thanks for the link, David. And good luck with the opera.
Tell us more about the "lesbian murder incest opera" !
...I'm sure San Francisco Opera would love it!
I definitely perked up my ears...then I noticed the referral to the lace patterns.

The GenoCommunity.org website will be undergoing many changes in the near future and will be re-organized according to input from the GenoCommunity Think Tank: First National Meeting. For now the documents related to the meeting are posted on this page. Please return to the site again when the updates are complete to see the transformation.
Section Links:
Background Goals Workshop_Date Workshop_Location Workshop_Participants Planning_Process Meeting_Materials
BACKGROUND: The Office for Public Health Genomics, in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (OPHG/CDC) provided funds to the Center for Public Health and Community Genomics (CPHCG) at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, to convene the GenoCommunity Think Tank: First National Meeting in September, 2010 with the purpose of furthering community engagement in genomics. CPHCG eagerly utilized this opportunity for partnering with members of the National Community Committee (NCC) of the nation's prevention research centers. This will build upon an earlier project implementing five community-hosted Community Genomics Forums, and a more recent proposal (unfunded) to create an infrastructure for community partnership with genomic research institutions. GOALS: Plan and implement the GenoCommunity Think Tank: First National Meeting attended by NCC members and representatives from academic and local health department partners, with the following objectives: • Share best practices and promising practices for achieving community engagement to learn about genomics and its relevance to community health and the reduction of health disparities • Share information about available funding to support community engagement about genomics and how community-based organizations might get technical support to realize these funding opportunities • Consider strategies for incorporating genomics in the community-based participatory research agendas of prevention research centers • Consider strategies for incorporating genomic applications (e.g. family health history) in the practice of local health departments and discuss strategies on how to get information about genomic applications out into the community in partnership with community-based organizations • Share information on current and potential policy issues involving community interests in genomic research and its applications (e.g. direct-to-consumer testing; personalized medicine; mandatory registration of genetic tests) and consider how to engage community members in policy development • Establish a Genomics Special Interest Group within the NCC to represent the community interest in genomic research and its applications. • Revive and modify the www.Genocommunity.org web site formerly utilized in the Midwest Community Genomics Forum project, for continuing use by the Special Interest Group WORKSHOP DATE: Monday-Tuesday, September 20-21, 2010 WORKSHOP LOCATION: St. Louis, MO WORKSHOP PARTICIPANTS: The Workshop budget provided funding for attendance at the GenoCommunity Think Tank: First National Meeting (2 nights) by 2 community members, 1 academic member and 1 local health department member of 25 prevention research centers, plus staff and several invited speakers. PLANNING PROCESS: Planning Committee: This will consist of 6 NCC members; 1 representative from PRC academic institutions and 1 representative from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO). Ex officio members have been added from CDC/OPHG and the National Human Genomic Research Institute (NHGRI). The Planning Committee will be convened and supported by CPHCG. Conference Planner: A professional conference planner planned the logistical details of the GenoCommunity Think Tank: First National Meeting. Center Support: CPHCG provided staff and financial support for the implementation of the GenoCommunity Think Tank: First National Meeting and the revival and modification of the web site, utilizing funding provided by CDC/OPHG.

Intel's Atom Roadmap Revealed: Next Gen "Pineview" Chips Due Fall 2009
Intel's next-gen Atom processor for Small, Cheap Computers - the successor to today's 'Diamondville' - will debut a year from now, according to the chip giant's latest roadmap. The chip, codenamed 'Pineview', will arrive in Q3 2009, according to long-term progress charts seen by Japanese-language site PCWatch. Pineview is one form of 'Lincroft' the next revision of Intel's handheld-oriented CPU architecture, 'Silverthorne'. Little is known about Pineview, but we can say that it will be made available in single- and dual-core versions as per Diamondville. Again, both will use HyperThreading technology to up the number of cores the operating system sees to two and four, respectively. What will really differentiate Pineview from its predecessor, however, is set to be its integration of a graphics core and memory manager into the chip package if not the die itself. Pineview will connect to its I/O chip partner across a DMI (Direct Media Interface) bus rather than a frontside bus, just like the upcoming 'Nehalem' desktop processors. What's not clear at this stage is whether the dual-core version of Pineview will be made available in a form that's friendly for mini laptops. That doesn't appear to be the case with the dual-core Diamondville - the Atom 330 is expected to be aimed solely at desktops, as an alternative to the single-core Atom 230. So far, we haven't come across a dual-core upgrade to the single-core Atom N270 used in most mini laptops. Whatever, Pineview will provide more of a challenge to VIA's new Nano processor than the 230 certainly has. And just to muddy the water for Small, Cheap Computer makers further, AMD is also preparing an Atom rival of its own, codenamed 'Bobcat', aimed at mobile devices. reghardware |
| |||
| |||
Atom-branded Diamondville-class processors based on a Silverthorne architecture, along comes the next generation. Expected to arrive in Q3 of 2009, the new 45-nm Pineview processors will come in hyperthreaded single- and dual-core versions like the current generation Atom 2xx- and 3xx-series.

I went in there on a day off looking to treat myself to a nice old school value experience, came back looking so bad I am thinking of not going out to the birthday dinner that I was invited to.
On par with the worst experience I have had in grooming. I got a straight razor cut and my face looks like it was mauled by a tiger. The staff member must not be able to see very well because I had hairs all over my face that were still there and I kept having to point them out to the staff..in the end I went home and finished the job with a disposable razor.
There's over 10 nicks and cuts, including one cut which is about 2cm long.. their idea of trimming hair involved literally 4 snips of the scissors..
Whatever you do, research for better alternatives.. I am too scared to get a straight razor cut again, but if I ever did, I would avoid this place.
super friendly team...easy for me to get to, love their work.
EASILY my favorite Japanese in Sydney. Amazing Sake and very authentic experience.

A bond that transcends tennis
Updated: May 31, 2010, 8:13 AM ET
Bonnie D. Ford | ESPN.com
PARIS -- Martina Navratilova reported to the television compound on the grounds of Roland Garros promptly at 10 a.m. Saturday to have her hair done and makeup applied. Her fellow Tennis Channel analyst, Corina Morariu, was being powdered and fluffed in the chair next to her. The two chatted easily, although the subject wasn't exactly your usual girl talk.
"Do you get regular checkups?'' Navratilova asked.
"Every, probably, six months or so,'' Morariu said.

BRIGHT STAR, 2009 Cast: Ben Whishaw, Abbie Cornish, Kerry Fox, Paul Schneider, Edie Martin, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Thomas Sangster, Samuel Roukin SYNOPSIS: The drama based on the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats' untimely death at age 25. CLICK HERE and watch TV SHOWS FOR FREE! Take a look at what's new today! REVIEW: Premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and then appearing in some of the biggest festivals from around the world in the same year, Bight Star (dir. Jane Campion) is a lovely crafted period drama that got huge critical acclaim in the festival circuit. With the film now being released at cinemas and for home entertainment, audiences can finally see why the film was so acclaimed, despite the fact that this drama might not be everyones cup of tea. Based on the true story of nineteenth century British poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw), the film focuses on his romantic relationship with a young woman named Frances Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish) as he teachers her the art and love of writing poetry, as well as seeing how they both cope with the difficult challenges that lay ahead in front of them. Even though the film is told very simply and we mainly focus on the two main characters mentioned, this is what makes the film very compelling since the screenwriter obviously didnt want to tackle the issues of nineteenth century Britain, such as poverty and power of wealth, that are only used as obstacles for the two main characters relationship. I personally thought that this was a great choice to structure the story on, because it couldve easily been an uneven period drama that was trying to speak about the difficulties in that part of history AND tell a romantic story, much like the final results for Marie Antoinette (dir. Sofia Coppola) Even though the story does focus on the two characters together, we do get to see them almost as much being separate and communicating with the supporting characters. These characters each have their own personality that make them stand out quite a bit in comparison to John and Frances, including Johns uptight and smug writing partner Charles Armitage Brown (Paul Schneider) and Frances younger brother Samuel Brawne (Thomas Sangster). With the film written and directed by Jane Campion, shes managed to do a great job in bringing this romantic story on one of the most famous poets in British history come to life. Jane Campion has written her own projects before on other feature length films, including Holy Smoke (dir. Jane Campion) and In The Cut (dir. Jane Campion), and even though that shes had previous experience in writing, this is her first British and period drama film. She obviously used the type of storytelling that was used in romance books from famous authors from that era, since the structure of the screenplay focuses on two characters that seem different from each other, they fall in love over a short period of time and they are individually faced with obstacles related to their amount of wealth. This makes the film very compelling and stays true to period dramas from British cinema. As for her directing, Campion has done a few projects more in this role than her attempts at screenwriting, including a number of feature length films, a few television episodes and short films. Her direction for Bright Star was done fantastically well to show off the characters and make sure that both the shots and the lighting helped to make her portrayal on the two main characters and the locations look stunning. For example, theres a scene where Frances is reading a letter from John while walking in a patch of purple flowers. This scene was directed brilliantly with the colours of her dress and the flowers contemplating each other, while the pale lighting, framing and the final edit managed to make it look iconic. The biggest surprise for me about this film in the awards ceremony is the fact that it hasnt been nominated much in the best film category, but instead it has got nominations for best costume category. I did think that the costumes were absolutely stunning in the film and I would like to talk about what made them look so good and why it has been getting nominations for this particular category instead. Behind the films costume designs was Janet Patterson, who has done the costume designs for Jane Campions Holy Smoke, as well as some of the directors other films. What was interesting to find out was that the last film Patterson did costume designs for was Peter Pan (dir. P.J. Hogan) and what makes it interesting was the fact that there was a six-year gap of work and yet she still managed to make some amazing costumes. The costume designs in the film contemplated very well with Frances passion for making her own clothes and you could tell that Patterson used the character as an opportunity to make her clothes look a bit more odd and different from the other costumes in the film. Even the costumes for the other characters looked really good and matched well with the feel and the way the film was directed. I hope the costume designer will get the nominations that she deserves. For my overall opinion on the film, its definitely one of my favourite films in the period drama genre that managed to keep my attention from start to finish, with the colours, lighting and framing making the film look gorgeous. Even if youre not really into this genre of film, it is very beautiful to look at and how these interesting characters develop over the course of the story.
