39 year old man | Manhattan, NY, USA | Seeking women 24-33 within 5 miles
I'm looking for someone who is worldly...
I'm looking for someone who is worldly adventurous, intellectually curious and spiritually (self) aware. I find confidence, spontaneity, pragmatism, and an opinion, not only attractive, but extremely sexy. I love girls who have a keen sense of self, but also don't take themselves too too seriously. If you can't laugh at yourself, how can I? ;) As for me, people have described me as self-assured, funny, a good listener, considerate (almost to a fault) and someone who gives solid, candid and insightful advice. I would say that I'm pretty perceptive and can size up both a situation and a person relatively well - but more than happy to be wrong, b/c that's what keeps life interesting, right? I've spent a lot of time exploring the world, living in New York, London, Mumbai, San Francisco and now Los Angeles (*edit: I'm splitting time between LA & NYC, so here in NYC until 7/1). I'd love to find someone who is equally excited to discover what the world has to offer - and no better time than now! LA has a ton to offer and I'd love to discover the music, art, culture and food that makes it so amazing with someone who can appreciate the experience. What would impress me - is you being you and being fully comfortable with that. I'm attracted to self confidence that's born from knowing who you are, what you want from life and what you're really all about. Good conversation, ambitious plans and happening to life, instead of waiting for life to happen would be a good start. I'm looking forward to meeting you :)

No, it wouldn't, and here's why.
Frame-buffer and overall memory bandwidth have the same effect and are interrelated. In fact, you could think of memory bandwidth as composed of 3 key components:
1) Frame buffer
2) Bus width
3) VRAM speed
Each of these plays a role in boosting peak memory bandwidth to speed up texture loading/streaming.
As of 2007, advanced personal computers and graphics cards use even more combined buses than dual-channel, and combine four (e.g. Mac Pro), five (e.g. nVidia 8800GTS), six (e.g. nVidia 8800GTX) [b]or more sets of 64-bit memory modules and buses to reach 256-bit, 320-bit, 384-bit or greater
total memory bandwidth.
The point of the entire exercise of using a large frame buffer is to increase bandwidth, but if a card already has it due to faster VRAM (such as 4870 with GDDR5 instead of GDDR3) then it doesn't need as large a frame buffer. See how the 4870 has just a little higher bandwidth than the 260 does despite the smaller frame buffer:

Have you ever shopped for a (lighting) product online and thought, "I wish I could see it a little more closely," or "Why doesn't this picture show the mounting equipment/light bulbs/power switch/fill in the blank…"
So have we.
Light Reading is more than just a cool place to read about lighting news, trends, and tips (or at least, we like to think so).
It's an extension of Pegasus Lighting's corporate mission to provide a positive learning experience in lighting – and part of that includes creating an easy and informative shopping experience on our main website.
About a month ago, we asked our Facebook fans if it would be helpful to start shooting videos of our products for the website. That way, even if a product has ten photos, you can watch a video accompaniment to see every single angle and feature of the light fixture. After hearing positive feedback, we have launched our first three "Product Spotlight" videos. (more…)

Retired NFL receiver Randy Moss is upset at the fact that the Minnesota Vikings decided to give rookie Corarrelle Patterson his old No. 84. And he made that perfectly clear on Sunday. "That's disrespectful to give a rookie my number," Moss, a new Fox studio analyst, "I don't really believe in numbers but from a professional standpoint, I did make that number. He hasn't proven anything yet but hey what can I say? I'm just Randy Moss sitting here in the studio." Simmer down, Randy. After all, Patterson is no slouch. The Vikings thought so highly of him that they used their first round pick (29th overall) to snag him out of the University of Tennessee. It should also be noted that several Vikings player have donned the No. 84 since Moss left. Also, Patterson wore the number during his college career, too. Via For the Win

The invention pertains to detection systems, and particularly to detection systems incorporating Raman spectroscopy scattering. More particularly, the invention pertains to detection systems using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
The present invention is a detection system having core-shell nanoparticles for ultrasensitive detection based on enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
In various areas, such as biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring (e.g., water quality), including analyses of food, biological, gas, chemical, organic and inorganic analytes, and so forth; there may be a need for ultra-sensitive detection techniques. Such techniques may be effected with Raman spectroscopy and particularly with surface enhanced Raman scattering or spectroscopy (SERS) with core-shell nanoparticles for enhancement. Raman spectroscopy along with SERS may provide a unique spectrum or intrinsic signature (i.e., "fingerprint") of the matter or analytes being detected, examined and/or analyzed. SERS permits one to directly detect and examine analytes without the need of markers or tags (e.g., indirect techniques involving fluorescence). The present core-shell nanoparticle approach based on SERS is a cheaper, simpler, very elegant and ultra-sensitive detection technology, relative to related-art technologies.
To lead into the present system, it may be noted that when light is scattered from an atom or molecule, most photons are elastically scattered (i.e., Rayleigh scattering). The scattered photons may have the same frequency as the incident photons. However, a small fraction of light (e.g., about 1 in 1012 photons) may be scattered at frequencies different from the frequency of the incident photons. This may be a result of inelastic scattering. Such scattered light may provide information about the molecules' vibrational quantum states. Raman scattering may involve light scattering at different wavelengths to the incident light. Because individual substances have a unique Raman spectrum, such scattering may be an excellent identification tool.
However, Raman signals may be characteristically weak since as noted herein that approximately 1 in 1012 incident photons may be scattered with a shift in wavelength. The signals may be enhanced by two processes. In one process, resonance Raman scattering, the laser may be tuned to the absorbance of the substance of interest. The other process, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, requires the substance to be in close proximity to a metal surface, exploiting the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties of suitable materials (e.g., gold, silver or copper nanoparticles). Surface enhancement may produce signal amplification of 105-106. Combining these two processes, called surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS), can be a sensitive technique that may produce signal amplification of up to 1014 and be capable of single molecule detection. This SERRS technique may also be referred to herein as SERS.
SERS based ultrasensitive detection and the SERS active substrates may be regarded as an important enabling technology.
The technology may involve a new type of core-shell nanoparticles as optical probes for ultrasensitive detection based on SERS. The present optical probe 10 may have a core-shell structure 11 with a metal core 12 for SERS active detection (
This type of nanoparticle structure 10 may have several advantages. For instance, by adjusting the organic molecule structure 14 including a SERS reporter, one may increase the chemical enhancement which is highly desired for ultrasensitive detection.
Another advantage is that by self-assembly of a monolayer (SAM) 14 of organic molecules (i.e., SERS reporters) onto a metal nanoparticle, there may result a making of thousands of Raman scatters on a single nanoparticle. This approach may increase the enhancement factor by several thousand times.
Still another advantage is that the core-shell nanoparticle 10 may be easily modified by other molecules like DNA probes, antibodies, oligoglucosides, amino acid sequences (e.g., RGD receptors), and so forth. That may make it a good optical probe platform for ultrasensitive detection based on SERS for various applications.
A particular application may be effected with chemical, organic, biological, inorganic and/or gas molecules.
Also, the core-shell nanoparticles may address the issue of non-specific binding, which plague many biomedical diagnostics, via creating the biomolecules—resistant functionalities (e.g., polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain) to the SERS reporter. This may be another advantage of such core-shell nanoparticle SERS optical probes.
The nanoparticle SERS probe may have a gold or silver nanoparticle 12, a SAM 14 of SERS reporters and a biomolecule probe such as DNA probes, antibodies, oligoglucosides, or amino acid sequences, and so forth.
It might be noted that nanoparticle SERS probes may be produced for reacting with desired organic, chemical, biological, inorganic, gas, and/or like molecules.
Fabrication of the present nanoparticles may include several steps. A first step may involve a synthesis of functional organics as SERS reporters. At least two types of SERS reporters should be designed and synthesized, both possessing different functional moieties.
The second type of functionality (b) may be a biomolecule (e.g., DNA or protein) resistant group. In one illustrative example, this can be a PEG (polyethylene glycol) chain. In another illustrative example, this can be a fluorocarbon chain. And in still another illustrative example, this can be a fluorinated PEG chain.
A third type of functionality (c) may be a reactive group to immobilize biomolecular receptors like DNA probes, antibodies, oligoglucosides, and an amino acid sequence, and so forth. Various groups are available to react with biomolecules receptors, e.g., —NH2, —COOH, —CHO, —NCO, and epoxide group, etc. One skilled in the art may be able to list more of such functionalities.
The last type of functionality (d) is a Raman label (Raman reporter). This is the moiety to produce the Raman signals to be detected. The selection of this moiety may therefore be the most important to ensure the desirable performance of the SERS optical probe. Small organic compounds such as thiophenol, mercaptobenzoic acid, and bispyridine were previously used as Raman spectroscopic reporters. These molecules give rise to simple Raman spectra, but it has been difficult or impossible to achieve resonance Raman enhancement at visible excitation wavelengths. As a result, the reported SERS intensities are relatively low, even at high (millimolar) reporter concentrations. On the contrary, various organic dyes, for examples, malachite green isothiocyanate (MGITC), tetramethylrhodamine-5-isothiocyanate (TRITC), X-rhodamine-5-(and -6)-isothiocyanate (XRITC), and 3,3-diethylthiadicarbocyanine iodide (DTDC), have been found to produce very strong Raman signals. Therefore, incorporating such structures into the SERS reporter molecules is one possible approach to make desired SERS reporters. One skilled in the art may understand how to design the synthetic route to make such high performance SERS reporters.
Another consideration may be nanoparticles functionalized for reacting with desired organic, chemical, biological, inorganic, gas, and/or like molecules to result in a nanoparticle SERS probes.
Another illustrative approach to create high performance SERS reporters may be associated with the Raman spectra modeling of organics on a metal surface using software tools like Gaussian 03. This may be a more efficient approach of SERS reporter design.
Consequently, at least two types of SERS reporter molecules may be designed and synthesized. The first one may contain functionalities (a), (b) and (d), and the second one may contain functionalities (a), (c) and (d). One skilled in the art may understand how to proceed with a design and synthesis of the two types of Raman reporter molecules.
The second step of the fabrication of the present nanoparticle SERS probe may involve metal nanoparticle synthesis and functionalization. First, nanoparticles of different metal types (silver or gold), different size and shapes may be synthesized and used to fabricate the SERS optical probe. In one illustrative example, it is a silver nanosphere. In another illustrative example, it is a silver triangle nanoparticle. In another illustrative example, it is a silver nanorod. In still another illustrative example, it is a silver nanoparticle with intrinsic three dimensional (3D) nanopore structures. One skilled in the art may understand that a variety of approaches are available to fabricate the first three types of nanoparticles as these may have been well investigated and reported in certain literature. Here, one novel structure that could be of particular interest to fabricate is the nanoparticle with intrinsic 3D nanopore structures, which may be synthesized via the following procedure. A mixture of Ag/Au precursors (HAuCl4 and AgNO3) is dissolved in deionized water. This is mixed with a surfactant solution, e.g., AOT in hexane, to form an inverse microemulsion. Hereafter, a solution of reducing agents, e.g., NaBH4 in water is added to the microemulsions under vigorous stirring to reduce the metal precursors to nanoparticles of Ag/Au alloy. The nanoparticles are then separated and etched with concentrated nitric acid to create the desired Au nanoparticles with intrinsic 3D nanopore structures. One skilled in the art may understand that other approaches might also be available to make such nanostructures.
The organic SERS reporter molecules noted herein may be immobilized on to the nanoparticles via self-assembly. With this approach, a self-assembly monolayer of organic SERS reporter molecules may be formed around the nanoparticle surface and the nanopore surface in case of nanoparticles with 3D nanopore structures being used as SERS active substrates. This may help to obtain the strongest scattering because more scatters exist onto a single nanoparticle. This self-assembly approach may have been very well investigated and documented in certain literature and one skilled in the art might understand how to use it to make the functionalized nanoparticles comprising SERS reporters and metal nanoparticles.
A third step may be where the noted herein functionalized nanoparticles react with the desired biomolecular receptors.
A general approach may be associated with the development of a type of core-shell nanoparticles having a potential application as SERS probes for ultra sensitive detection. A nanoparticle may consist of a metallic core (to ensure the existence of a strong electromagnetic enhancement) and a self-assembly monolayer (SAM) of organic SERS reporters (to provide thousands of Raman scatters on a single nanoparticle). (
The nanoparticles may be further functionalized with various receptors like DNA probes, antibodies, oligoglucosides, or a sequence of amino acid, and so forth, for ultra sensitive detection applications such as biomedical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, plus more. Various targets may be measured; these include DNA targets, protein biomarkers, pathogens, and so on.
For instance, a set of immobilized antibodies may selectively capture target antigens, which are then detected after the directed uptake of gold or silver nanoparticles labeled with both tracer antibodies and intrinsically strong Raman scatters (i.e., Raman reporter molecules).
In another instance, a nanoparticle substrate may be functionalized with antibodies of a specific substance and SERS reporters. A specific substance in a sample may bind with the antibodies. The SERS reporters may be activated and the scattered light may be used to measure the specific substance in the sample.
The rationale behind the design of such core-shell nanoparticle optical probes is as follows.
A simple classical electromagnetic field description of Raman spectroscopy may be used to explain many of the important features of Raman band intensities. The dipole moment, μ, induced in a molecule by an external electric field, E, is proportional to the field as shown in the following,
Raman scattering occurs because a molecular vibration can change the polarizability. The change is described by the polarizability derivative,
Scattering intensity is proportional to the square of the induced dipole moment, and can be expressed using the following equation,
If a vibration does not greatly change the polarizability, then the polarizability derivative may be near zero, and the intensity of the Raman band will be low. The vibrations of a highly polar moiety, such as the O—H bond, are usually weak. An external electric field can not induce a large change in the dipole moment and stretching or bending the bond does not change this.
The following items are possible solutions to obtain the higher Raman scattering intensity from a nanoparticle SERS probe. First, one may use Raman reporter molecules with higher polarizability (α). Secondly, one may increase the electric field intensity (E) around the Raman reporter molecules via selecting appropriate SERS active substrates. And finally an increase of the number of Raman reporters (n) immobilized on the nanoparticles SERS active substrates may also increase the scattering intensity.
There may be several kinds of enhancement due to the surface enhanced Raman scattering. Electromagnetic enhancement may arise from enhanced local optical fields at the place of the molecule nearby the metal surface due to electromagnetic resonance that appears because of a collective excitation of conduction electrons in the small metallic structures (viz., SPR—surface plasmon resonance). Maximum values from this enhancement may be on the order of 106 to 107 for isolated particles of metals.
The other kind is chemical enhancement. This may include the enhancement of a Raman signal that is related to specific interactions (i.e., electron coupling) between molecules and the metal (substrate), resulting in an "electronic" enhancement. A possible mechanism may be the charge-transfer between the metal and the molecules. The enhancement magnitude is estimated to be about 102. This may be site specific and analyte-dependent.
There may be a relationship between electromagnetic enhancement and SERS active substrates. There may need to be certain metal properties. There should be a satisfaction of a localized surface plasma or plasmon resonance (LSPR) condition. For an isolated nanosphere, the wavelength-dependent dielectric constant (em) of the metal composing the sphere, and the dielectric constant of the local environment around the sphere (e0) may have the relationship "em=−2e0". Gold and silver nanoparticles may serve as very good SERS substrates.
The electromagnetic enhancement may also depend on the shape and size of the nanoparticles. Factors such as particle size, shape, and inter-particle spacing may be critical for signal enhancement, and thus high-quality particles would be recommended. Developing a robust detection system may be dependent on the routine production of good quality nanoparticles that can be functionalized with biomolecules. Producing alternatives to spheres, e.g., tri-angles and rods, may have particular relevance and benefit in SERS applications. Many other types of SERS active substrates may be available for varying levels of enhanced surface Raman scattering. Among those, an interesting type of substrate, which appears not to be evident and not yet been reported but may be predicted based on a theoretical description noted herein, may be nanoparticles with intrinsic 3D nanopore structures. This type of SERS active substrates may possess the following advantages. First, the Raman reporter molecules can be immobilized in the nanopores, a very much "hotter" environment (i.e., a place with very high electromagnetic field), thus implying higher electromagnetic enhancement. Secondly, such substrates may possess higher surface area which means more Raman reporter molecules can be immobilized onto a single nanoparticle, potentially increasing the Raman scattering intensity as well.
Chemical enhancement and Raman reporters may also be noted. Raman reporter molecules are immobilized onto the SERS active substrates to produce a strong, characteristic Raman signal that can be easily detected. To ensure the highest enhancement factor, the reporter molecules should reside within the enhanced electromagnetic fields which are generated upon an excitation of the LSPR. Various strategies may be used to confine the analytes to the LSPR enhanced field (less than 2 nm from the substrate surface). These may involve chemisorption, physisorption, partitioning via a self-assembled monolayer, and so on. The self-assembly approach may have advantages for the following reasons. First, the SERS reporters are chemically bonded to the metal surface and therefore are very stable to tolerate a harsh environment in measurement (e.g., high temperature and acidity/base). Secondly, the chemical bonding between the SERS reporters and the metal surface may facilitate the charge transfer process between the two, resulting in favorable chemical enhancement.
Further, the Raman reporter molecules should be capable of producing strong, characteristic Raman signals. A number of different reporters may be available or can be newly designed and synthesized. Typically strong Raman reporters may be organics with distributed electron clouds, such as carbon-carbon double bonds. The pi-electron cloud of the double bond is easily distorted in an external electric field. Bending or stretching the bond changes the distribution of electron density substantially, and causes a large change in induced dipole moment.
Another aspect is associated with addressing the issues of non-specific binding which plague many biomedical diagnostics. A strategy to handle such issues may typically involve the use of a biomolecule resistant coating. For the core-shell nanoparticle SERS optical probes noted herein, the issues may be addressed via incorporating a biomolecule-resisting functionality into the SERS reporters, e.g., a PEG chain. This type of SERS reporters may form a biomolecule-resisting coating around the nanoparticles.
Examples may be noted herein.
Here is an example of the procedures associated with fabrication of the core-shell nanoparticles SERS optical probes. The two newly synthesized compounds, i.e., DSNB and DBPNB, were used as Raman reporters; high aspect ratio gold (Au) nanoparticles were used as SERS active substrates; and desired DNA probes were immobilized onto the nanoparticles. The nanoparticles SERS probes thereof may be useful in ultrasensitive DNA target detections.
Synthesis of SERS reporters may be shown.
5,5′-Dithiobis(succinimidyl-2-nitrobenzoate) (DSNB). To 50 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran were added 0.50 g of dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DNBA) (1.3 mmol), 0.52 g of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD) (2.5 mmol), and 0.29 g of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) (2.5 mmol) in a 100-mL round-bottom flask equipped with a drying tube. The mixture was magnetically stirred at 25� C. for 12 h, filtered, and then rotary evaporated to remove solvent. The crude product was purified via recrystalization from acetone/hexane, yielding a yellow powder.
5,5′-Dithiobis(Boc-amino PEG amino-2-nitrobenzoamide) (DBPNB). To a solution of DSNB (0.001 mol) in 50 mL dry THF, was added 0.703 g of Boc-amino PEG amine (n=6) (0.0015 mol). The mixture was heated to reflux for 6 hours. Hereafter, the solvent was rotary evaporated, and the crude products thereof were purified via chromatography over silica gel.
5,5′-Dithiobis(amino PEG amino-2-nitrobenzoamide) (DAPNB). To a solution of DBPNB (0.01 mol) in 50 mL dioxane, was added 2 mL of 1 M HCl solution. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. Hereafter the solvent was rotary evaporated, and the crude products were purified via chromatography over silica gel.
Synthesis of gold nanoparticles with 3D nanopore structures may be shown.
An aqueous solution of HAuCl and AgNO3 (5 mL, concentration of HAuCl4 is 1.5�10−4 M and concentration of AgNO3 is 1.0�10−4 M) was mixed with a surfactant solution of AOT in hexane (200 mL, AOT concentration is 12 wt-%). Next, 5 mL of 0.1 M NaBH4 was added to the solution under rigorous stirring. The solution color changed immediately upon addition of the reducing agent, indicating particle formation. The reaction was allowed to continue for couple of hours to ensure complete conversion of the metal precursors. The products thereof were purified via dialysis. Specifically, the above products were first dialyzed against a 2.5�10−4 M tri-sodium citrate solution in acetonitrile followed by further dialysis against a 2.5�10−4 M tri-sodium citrate solution in deionized water. The tri-sodium citrate is used as the capping agent.
The nanoparticles thereof were then etched in concentrated nitric acid to remove the Ag components, forming the desired Au nanoparticles with intrinsic 3D nanopore structures. Hereafter the crude Au nanoparticles were separated via centrifugation.
Synthesis of High aspect ratio cylindrical gold nanorods may be shown.
Preparation of 3.5 nm seed may be noted. A 20 mL aqueous solution containing 2.5�10−4 M HAuCl4 and 2.5�10−4 M tri-sodium citrate was prepared in a conical flask. Next, 0.6 mL of ice cold 0.1 M NaBH4 solution was added to the solution all at once while stirring. The solution turned pink immediately after adding NaBH4, indicating particle formation. The particles in this solution were used as seeds within 2-5 h after preparation. The average particle size measured from the transmission electron micrograph was 3.5 (0.7 nm). Some irregular and aggregated particles were also observed that were not considered for determining the size distribution. Here, citrate serves only as the capping agent since it cannot reduce gold salt at room temperature (25 deg. C.). Experiments performed in the absence of citrate resulted in particles approximately 7-10 nm in diameter.
Preparation of 4.6�1 aspect ratio rod may be noted. In a clean test tube, 10 mL of growth solution, containing 2.5�10−4 M HAuCl4 and 0.1 M cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), was mixed with 0.05 mL of 0.1 M freshly prepared ascorbic acid solution. Next, 0.025 mL of the 3.5 nm seed solution was added. No further stirring or agitation was done. Within 5-10 min, the solution color changed to reddish brown. The solution contained 4.6 aspect ratio rods, spheres, and some plates. The solution was stable for more than one month.
Procedure for shape separation may be shown. Long rods were concentrated and separated from spheres and surfactant by centrifugation. 10 mL of the particle solution was centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 6 min. The supernatant, containing mostly spheres, was removed and the solid part containing rods and some plates was redispersed in 0.1 mL water.
Preparation of Raman reporter-labeled Au nanoparticles may be shown. The above prepared gold nanoparticles were used. As an example, 100 μL of a mixture of 0.5 mM of DSNB and 2.0 mM of DAPNB solution in acetonitrile was added to 1 mL of the unconjugated colloidal gold suspension and the mixture reacted for hours. The reporter-labeled colloids were then separated from solution by centrifugation. The clear supernatant was discarded, and the loose red sediment was re-suspended in 1 mL of borate buffer (2 mM, pH 9).
DNA immobilization onto the Raman reporter-labeled Au nanoparticles may be shown. Desired DNA probes with an amino group (—NH2) were coupled to the gold particles via the succinimidyl terminus of the DSNB-derived coating. As such, 35 μg of detection DNA probes (7 μL of 5 mg/mL DNA probes solution) was added to the 1-mL suspension of the reporter-labeled colloid. The mixture was then incubated at room temperature for 1 h. Hereafter, it was centrifuged and the supernatant was decanted, the red sediment was resuspended in a desired buffer solution (e.g., 1 mL of 2 mM Tris buffer (Tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 1% BSA)).
Antibody immobilization onto the Raman reporter-labeled Au nanoparticles may be shown. A desired antibody was coupled to the gold particles via the succinimidyl terminus of the DSNB-derived coating. As such, 35 μg of detection antibody (7 μL of 5 mg/mL DAN probes solution) was added to the 1-mL suspension of the reporter-labeled colloid. The mixture was then incubated at room temperature for 1 h. After centrifugation at and removal of the supernatant, the red sediment was re-suspended in 1 mL of 2 mM Tris buffer (Tris-HCl (pH 7.6), 1% BSA).
In the present specification, some of the matter may be of a hypothetical or prophetic nature although stated in another manner or tense.
Although the invention has been described with respect to at least one illustrative example, many variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the present specification. It is therefore the intention that the appended claims be interpreted as broadly as possible in view of the prior art to include all such variations and modifications.

Texas Performing Arts Welcomes Organist Cameron Carpenter to Austin, 11/2
Texas Performing Arts presents "the most controversial organist alive" (Dallas Morning News). Cameron Carpenter's flamboyant style, dazzling performances, and profound musical intelligence have completely changed the game of his instrument.
Carpenter challenges the ways in which the organist is promoted and the organ is played. His repertoire includes the complete organ works of Bach, Franck, and Liszt, but he has adapted more than 200 works not for the organ: from the piano music of Liszt and Rachmaninoff to Debussy's Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and Mahler's Fifth Symphony, to music from animé and film (Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, and scores by John Williams and Bernard Herrmann), and re-imaginings of songs by Kate Bush, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, and Annie Lennox. Bringing increased physicality to the organ as a former dancer, his super virtuosic organ transcriptions of Chopin Études have led to comparisons as diverse as Vladimir Horowitz and Fred Astaire. Cameron's theatrical style and love of fashion includes concert attire of his own design.
During his time at Julliard, Carpenter studied with the late Gerre Hancock, an acclaimed concert organist and beloved faculty member in the Butler School of Music.

This is a great, great plugin, and before I upgraded to the latest versions of WordPress and AudioPlayer I had no problems at all.
Now, though, after upgrading both, I am also having variable success. The player works fine on one post on one blog, and works fine on another post on another blog, but in different posts on both it will only insert a link, not the player.
I cannot insert the player through Firefox at all. I inserted it through the interface once only in Safari. In the other case I inserted it manually, to no avail.
Here are two things that may be relevant:
1) the troublesome blog is a literary journal which goes live in February so all the posts are scheduled. I can view them only in preview and only from the admin login.
2) the sound files in each case are different sizes. The one that works is 500 KB and the one that doesn't is 1.3 MB I can't see why that would matter, but it is the only difference I can find.
If I can't find a workaround before the issue goes live I will have to install a different player but I really don't want to do that.

American Record Guide, November/December 2013
It's a good group. For the Serengeti album, they are in a concert hall, so the sound is better. Trumpeter Decker is accompanied by mellow flugelhorn, horn, euphonium, and tuba in Verdi's aria 'Caro Nome'. Trombonist Hauser - quite a terrific and versatile player - is soloist in Tommy Dorsey's 'Trombonology'. In 'Donnaleeana' (a conglomeration of 'Donna Lee' and 'Indiana'), TTU jazz professor McCormick is the trumpeter and expert improviser.

Sometimes rather than writing this:
var customer = ctx.Customers.First(c => c.ID == 5);
You would rather write something like this:
var customer = ctx.Customers.GetCustomerById(5);
In .NET 4.0 this would be trivial to do by modifying the T4 templates that do code gen. You would simply produce an extension method for each EntityType, something like this:
public static Customer GetCustomerById( this ObjectQuery<T> query, int Id ) { return query.First(c => c.ID == Id); }
This is fine, but is there a way to support this without resorting to a method for each Type?
There is indeed an approach that is more general purpose, it isn't type safe, but it work great nevertheless.
The core to the idea is to use eSQL to build a query. This function will work in both 3.5 and 4.0:
public static T Get<T, K>(this ObjectQuery<T> query, K key) { //Get the EntityType EntityType entityType = query.Context.MetadataWorkspace .GetCSpaceEntityType<T>(); if (entityType.KeyMembers.Count != 1) throw new Exception("You need to pass all the keys"); //Build the ESQL string eSQL = string.Format("it.{0} = @{0}", entityType.KeyMembers[0].Name); //Execute the query return query.Where( eSQL, new ObjectParameter(entityType.KeyMembers[0].Name, key) ).First(); }
So how does it work?
And we are done.
Now you can write this:
Customer c = ctx.Customers.Get(5);
Now a word of warning, this method isn't type safe, so this will compile:
Customer c = ctx.Customers.Get("Some Random String");
Even though Customer has an integer key. You will only notice the error at runtime when the eSQL is parsed.
This doesn't support compound keys, but it would be pretty easy to add more overloads that accept more parameters.
I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader!
This is 25th post in my ongoing series of Entity Framework Tips.

68-year-old Bob Baker, loves his wife, Kelly, and to prove it he made his children pay for a tattoo of her mowing the lawn wearing a bikini and high heels on his bald spot! His children paid for the $95 tattoo as a gift to their dad for this Father's Day. That's not the only weird tattoo story we have! We have bad tattoo mistakes, romantic tattoos, creepy cover-ups, and nerdy temporary ones!
A driver was so distracted by his GPS that he accidentally jumped the Flagler Memorial Bridge in Palm Beach, Florida. Luckily, the driver and his passenger were uninjured, but the same can't be said about the bridge. It was shut down for five hours for repairs. The driver was cited for reckless driving, while the GPS wasn't cited at all, because inanimate objects don't have driver's licenses.
By day, Dinesh Upadhyaya is a teacher in Mumbai, but by night, he becomes the YouTube superhero, "Maximouth", with the power to shove a ton of ANYTHING in his mouth. Maximouth currently holds 48 world records for shoving weird stuff in his mouth, including: 14 glass test tubes, 224 playing cards, 79 grapes, and 6 ping pong balls, and now, 1,001 straws!
A theater full of families fled the scene this weekend at The Danbarry Cinema in Middletown, Ohio when the projectionist accidentally showed the first reel of the horror movie Insidious 3 instead of the family film Inside Out. The unnamed manager at the cinemas immediately refunded everybody their money, and then upgraded everyone to a 3D showing of the Pixar movie. But one parent still isn't happy about the incident.
A man in Idaho has answered the question none of us ever had: would Nerf darts stick to your eyes? Charles Tietjen posted the video to Reddit with the title "Nerf Gun To The Eye" with the following description: "Don't try this. I press it on very lightly and I have contacts on underneath." Which is all well and good, but still doesn't explain WHY he's doing it.
Pinnacle Foods Group is recalling 8,678 cases of 24 oz bottles of Wish-Bone brand Ranch Dressing, after it was discovered that they shipped bottles that accidentally contained Wish-Bone brand Blue Cheese Dressing. While it might seem like a minor mistake on the surface, it turns out that Wish-Bone Blue Cheese dressing contains eggs, an ingredient that some people are seriously allergic to. Stay safe out there, friends.

I don't know what it is yet, but I hear it's going to be important.
At 9:00am PST today, the "Desktop Virtualization Hour" site will have a live broadcast/webcast, where I'm told there will be some exciting news around Desktop Virtualization.
I'll watch, and report back here with an update when I have the details. Stay tuned, or watch with me.
Update: Here is the official announcement: http://www.microsoft.com/Presspass/press/2010/mar10/03-18DesktopVirtPR.mspx
The announcements really came in three parts:
New Technologies Many of you have complained to me (and to Microsoft about XP-Mode in Windows 7, and the requirement for hardware/CPU virtualization support. Today we have removed that barrier. Let me say it another way: If you have older hardware that doesn't have virtualization support on the CPU, you WILL NOW be able to use XP-Mode on Windows 7.
"Wait a sec… 'Now'? Really? Now? No update required?"
Yes.. NOW. If you are already using XP-Mode, you're fine. If you weren't able to before, then the version you can download as of today will include the switch that allows it to run without the hardware-supported virtualization.
Another new technology announced today, that is coming in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. It's called RemoteFX. This is an improvement/addition to the RDP (Remote Destkop Protocol) that will support multimedia, 3D graphics, and full Silverlight fidelity in a remote desktop session. Imagine the old Terminal Services session now supporting rich graphics! Yes.. I even saw my friend Michael Kleef demonstrate full AERO desktop capabilities like AERO Peek and AERO Flip-3D, and the new "Street-Side View" in Virtual Earth. Event HD video! Amazing. So, virtualized desktops basically won't look virtualized any longer. How about that?
Another benefit coming in SP1 on the Server/Hyper-V side will be support for something called Dynamic Memory. Under Hyper-V, you'll be able to configure virtual machines to dynamically adjust memory allocated to them, based on performance. So, you can set a minimum and maximum, and let the machines adjust up or down as their load requires. So if you're hosting dozens of virtual desktop machines in a VDI implementation, you'll be able to make better, more efficient use of your virtualization host memory.
"So.. when can I get SP1?"
Sorry – Microsoft didn't announce any timeline for SP1 yet. Stay tuned.
Licensing, Simplified!
Beginning July 1, 2010, if you have Software Assurance on your Windows Clients, you won't have to buy a separate Virtual Desktop Access license in a VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environment. Thin clients will sill need a VDA license, but if you already have an SA covered Windows Client, you won't need an additional VDA license for that client. SA covers it.
Another big bit of news today is that companies will now have an option to extend virtualization licensing out to remote or home-based employees. Home PCs, Kiosks, and their mother-in-law's PCs. Now you will have "roaming rights". These rights will also include licensing for things like Software Assurance-covered Microsoft Office applications. "Beginning July 1, 2010, Windows Client Software Assurance and new Virtual Desktop Access license customers will have the right to access their virtual Windows desktop and their Microsoft Office applications hosted on VDI technology on secondary, non-corporate network devices, such as home PCs and kiosks."
A renewed relationship with Citrix We announced a couple of new promotions along with Citrix Systems:
VDI Kick-start program - to lower the barrier to entry. Offering $28/user for up to 250 devices. Sweet.
Also, some additional technological collaboration was announced. For example, Citrix HDX being able to detect RemoteFX capabilities on the server and taking advantage of it for an even greater, richer media experience.
More details about the offers and the collaboration can be found on this special website: http://www.citrixandmicrosoft.com/
"Kevin.. The webcast discussed Application and Desktop Virtualization solutions like App-V and MED-V that are in the MDOP. But what if I want to start trying out App-V , MED-V or VDI right now? I don't have MDOP. How can I try this out?"
Are you a TechNet Plus Subscriber? If so, your subscription allows you to download the MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack) it and try it out. (And if you're not, CLICK HERE to find out more about the subscription, and take advantage of the near-$100 savings promotion that ends at the end of March 2010!)
What's not in the announcement that you would have liked to see, Kevin? I want to be able to run 64-bit guest machines in MED-V. We haven't yet addressed that. I presume that it's not I want

Sean Payton is back from his suspension, two weeks early — and just in time for the Super Bowl festivities in his own New Orleans. The NFL announced on Tuesday that commissioner Roger Goodell has lifted Peyton's suspension effective immediately, after meeting with the coach on Monday. "Sean fully complied with all the requirements imposed on him during his suspension," the commissioner said in a statement. "More important, it is clear that Sean understands and accepts his responsibilities as a head coach and the vital role that coaches play in promoting player safety and setting an example for how the game should be played at all levels. We are committed to delivering football that fans love and the safety players deserve. Coach Payton agrees and I look forward to working with him going forward to do that." In addition to resuming his duties as head coach of the Saints, Payton will also be allowed to attend the Senior Bowl. Payton, in his own statement, reiterated his responsibility in the Saints' Bountygate, while declaring that "a more diligent protocol" will be followed for the Saints in the future. "I feel we have learned from our mistakes and are ready to move forward," Payton said. "I am excited to be back as Head Coach of the New Orleans Saints!"

Pancreatic cancer usually doesn't cause symptoms at first. It's silent and painless. Symptoms usually don't begin until the cancer has spread. They may include:
Of course, there are other conditions that cause these symptoms, so they don't necessarily mean you have cancer. But it's important to talk to your doctor if you have any of these problems.

Gem Proof 1837 No Stars Dime1837 10C No Stars PR65 PCGS. Large Date. A key proof subtype, since the No Stars Liberty Seated design was only struck in proof during 1837. In his 1988 Encyclopedia, Breen states "some 30 brilliant proofs [were] struck for presentation to Treasury officials and other VIPs" on June 30, 1837. Those proofs can be identified by a die line from a denticle above the left half of the first T in STATES, and also by recutting on the base of the 7 in the date. Mark Borckardt adds that all proofs he has seen have an identical die rotation of 200 degrees, slightly clockwise from coin turn.
This lovely Gem has dusky powder-blue, yellow-green, and plum-mauve toning. The strike is penetrating, even on Liberty's hair and the dentils. Careful rotation under a light fails to locate grade-limiting imperfections. Population: 2 in 65, 1 finer (8/07). (NGC ID# 23BN, PCGS# 4718)

While you might think it's a bit early to write about Halloween, October will sneak up on you before you know it. Every year, iconic cereal characters such as Franken Berry, Count Chocula, and Boo Berry make a come back to grocery store shelves during the fall. In addition to these familiar faces, General Mills has decided to re-release Frute Brute and Yummy Mummy cereals as well. This will be the first time in 20 years that all cereals will be available for a limited time in retro packaging at Target.
