Solutions for Chapter 3.2
Note the following definitions:
A point of a surface S is called Hyperbolic if .
A tangent vector is called an asymptotic direction if
Let and be the principle directions, which are unit vectors.
Suppose that makes an angle of with the direction ofas shown below.
By the Euler formula, if is an asymptotic direction, then
Thus, at the hyperbolic point, have opposite signs.
Along the directions of the asymptotes, the normal curvature is zero and so they are asymptotic directions.
If the angle is in an asymptotic direction, the angles are in asymptotic directions,
This means that the principle directions bisect the asymptotic directions.

Maincrop potato varieties produce larger varieties for baking and roasting. For best results, 'chit' the tubers and then plant up from March to mid May. The potatoes will be ready to harvest approximately 20 weeks after planting. Maincrop potatoes are best grown in the ground, where they will have more space. 'Sarpo' potatoes offer exceptional resistance to blight, a common problem in potatoes.

Potato 'International Kidney'
Solanum tuberosumCustomer Rating
Second early.
A heritage variety that has stood the test of time. If harvested as a second early, 'International Kidney' makes a perfect, very waxy, salad potato. Harvested later as an early maincrop, it produces floury, large, general purpose tubers. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Definition of ceratobranchial in English:
Each of the paired ventral cartilaginous sections of the branchial arch in fishes.
Example sentences
- In Amia, as in many actinopterygian fishes, the ceratobranchials do much of the mundane work and heavy lifting.
- The inner surface of the right operclc can be observed, and also some branchial arch elements such as the ceratobranchial and hypobranchial.
- Thus, each of the branchial arches, the arches which actually function as respiratory arches in fishes, has an epibranchial and a ceratobranchial.
Mid 19th century: from Greek keras, kerat- 'horn' + branchial (see branchia).

FINRA Arbitration filed against Wells Fargo over Dividend Capital REIT losses.
The White Law Group announces the filing of a FINRA arbitration claim against Wells Fargo Investments, LLC to recover investment losses in Dividend Capital REIT.
The claim, filed by The White Law Group, was submitted to FINRA Dispute Resolution on behalf of retired Iowa farmer alleging claims for violation of common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and negligent supervision. The claim further alleges that Wells Fargo unsuitably invested its client in Dividend Capital REIT and over-concentrated his assets in a high-risk, illiquid non-traded REIT investment.
Before recommending an investment, a broker-dealer has a fiduciary duty to adequately disclose the risks involved in the investment and to perform the necessary due diligence to determine whether the investment is suitable for the investor. It is alleged that Wells Fargo failed to perform the necessary due diligence on the Dividend Capital REIT investment prior to recommending it to this particular investor.
FINRA Dispute Resolution is an arbitration venue for investors with claims against their brokerage firm or financial professional. It provides investors with an opportunity to attempt to recoup their investment losses and is an alternative to filing such claims in court.
For more information on the claim filed by The White Law Group, please contact the firm's Chicago office at 312-238-9650.
The White Law Group is a national securities fraud, securities arbitration, and investor protection law firm with offices in Chicago, Illinois and Boca Raton, Florida.

Someone told me that this:
function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
var deathMenu = GetComponent("");
if (other.CompareTag("Lava")) {
Is better than this:
function OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider) {
var deathMenu = GetComponent("");
if (other.tag == "Lava") {
Is that true? Thanks.
Where are you from? :D

CompareTag compiles to fewer CIL instructions than the direct comparison, for sure: it probably results in a single call to the CompareTag internal function, while the other alternative will need a call to the tag getter function (to get the tag string) and another call to the string comparison function, all of this in CIL (the interpreted language used in .NET applications). Since the tag string must be returned by the getter function, space must be allocated, what takes extra time.
Anyway, the difference probably is very small, but may become significant if a lot of CompareTags is used in Update or OnCollision/TriggerStay, and/or the target machine is a mobile device.
So, why would someone ever use '.tag' other than to use the result in a switch statement?
I use it for assigning tags in editor for example.
You might use obj1.CompareTag(obj2.tag) (obviously not appropriate for checking for equality, but useful for type matching).
Do you have any insight on the inner workings of CompareTag? Isn't it possible to have the == operator overloaded for this case?
Maybe Aldonaletto wasn't specific enough. Of course you have fewer CIL instructions since you only call a native method from the Unity engine. However on the native C++ side it still has to do a string comparison. That might be a little faster than doing it on the managed side. The real advantage is that the tag value, which is stored on the native side, doesn't have to be allocated on the managed side. I did a test and it looks like a tag value with 4 characters needs 34 bytes while a tag with 6 characters needs 36 bytes. So there seems to be a 30 byte overhead in addition to the actual ASCII string. Strangely a tag with 14 characters requires 54 bytes, so 10 more (40 + 14)
CompareTag goes the otherway round. It passes the string you want to compare your tag to as reference / pointer to the native side. There they can simply compare the tags without any memory allocation.
I'm not sure in which way you want to overload the == operator... The == operator is always based on the type you're comparing in our case the "string" type. Overloading the operator doesn't make much sense here and i don't see how you could avoid the garbage allocation.
Now I'm starting to get it, thanks! Still, it seems a little bit inelegant to have a separate function to compare things.

Intellectual Property:
U.S. Efforts have Contributed to Strengthened Laws Overseas, but Significant Enforcement Challenges Remain
GAO-05-788T: Published: Jun 14, 2005. Publicly Released: Jun 14, 2005.

Although the U.S. government provides broad protection for intellectual property domestically, intellectual property protection in parts of the world is inadequate. As a result, U.S. goods are subject to piracy and counterfeiting in many countries. A number of U.S. agencies are engaged in efforts to improve protection of U.S. intellectual property abroad. This testimony, based on a prior GAO report as well as recent work, describes U.S. agencies' efforts, the mechanisms used to coordinate these efforts, and the impact of these efforts and the challenges they face.
U.S. agencies undertake policy initiatives, training and assistance activities, and law enforcement actions in an effort to improve protection of U.S. intellectual property abroad. Policy initiatives include identifying countries with the most significant problems--an annual interagency process known as the "Special 301" review. In addition, many agencies engage in assistance activities, such as providing training for foreign officials. Finally, a small number of agencies carry out law enforcement actions, such as criminal investigations and seizures of counterfeit merchandise. Agencies use several mechanisms to coordinate their efforts, although the mechanisms' usefulness varies. The National Intellectual Property Law Enforcement Coordination Council, established in 1999 to coordinate domestic and international intellectual property law enforcement, has struggled to find a clear mission, has undertaken few activities, and is generally viewed as having little impact despite recent congressional action to strengthen the council. The Congress's action included establishing the role of Coordinator, but the position has not yet been filled (although the selection process is underway). The Administration's October 2004 Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy (STOP!) is intended to strengthen U.S. efforts to combat piracy and counterfeiting. Thus far, the initiative has resulted in some new actions and emphasized other ongoing efforts. U.S. efforts have contributed to strengthened intellectual property legislation overseas, but enforcement in many countries remains weak, and further U.S. efforts face significant challenges. For example, competing U.S. policy objectives such as national security interests take precedence over protecting intellectual property in certain regions. Further, other countries' domestic policy objectives can affect their "political will" to address U.S. concerns. Finally, many economic factors, as well as the involvement of organized crime, hinder U.S. and foreign governments' efforts to protect U.S. intellectual property abroad.

Comments about Rain Cover Carry Cot:
I haven't used this in the rain, but we did use it on a few occasions while it was snowing in Park City. This rain shield kept our son warm and dry and still allowed him to have a great view while on our walk around town. He enjoyed being able to watch the snow and stay dry at the same time.

Food Habits
Anoplogaster cornuta is carnivorous. Juveniles feed on crustaceans, while adults feed primarily on fish and shrimp. They have been observed to feed on fish one-third their size, necessitating the mechanism of reversed direction ventilation when feeding. Their large size allows them to swallow most prey whole. Due to their high mobility relative to other pelagic teleosts, it has been speculated that they are aggressive hunters. Other studies have suggested the contrary, describing them as voracious ambush predators.
Animal Foods: fish; aquatic crustaceans
Primary Diet: carnivore (Piscivore , Eats non-insect arthropods)

I had to give them (and foolishly did) my bank routing number and account number, and agree to the payments on a recorded phone session. The time limit for the services was to start after I received the packet and activated the services.
I was to call 1-800-357-8873 to cancel the first service, 1-800-375-9145 to cancel the second service and 1-800-357-7592 to cancel the third service. If not canceled, the charges for each service would be taken out of my checking account. The charges were to be (1) $49.95 per month plus a $99 setup fee (2) $19.95 every 30 days plus a $99 setup fee (3) $19.95 monthly plus two successive monthly setup fees of $99 each.
This was offered by Janis Hogg, employee number 10662.
I called 1-800-357-9973 after seven days to say I had not received the packet. I was assured that the packet had been mailed on March 23rd and that I had until April 8 to cancel the first offer, April 11 to cancel the second, adn April 29 to cancel the third.
On March 31 I noticed that my account had been charged $3.95 two times and $119 once on March 28, the day I had last called them.
I read other ripoff reports, called my bank, and they are in the process of changing my account number to eliminate additional charges. (I plan to try to get reimbursement for the bank charges, but have nothing to report on that yet.)
On April 1, 2005 I called to try to get the address of Premier Benefit. Although the person on March 28 had answered the 1-800-357-8873 number with "Premier Benefits Customer Service, how may I help you", this time they answered as "Call One Unlimited". I repeatedly asked for their address, stating (falsely) that I had received their packet and wanted to send them some money as a thank you. He repeatedly asked for my phone number to look up my records, which I refused to do. He did give me the web address for call one (www.calloneunlimited.com).
I examined the web site. It says very little about the company. However, the "Terms and Licenses" page does list the address in Orange, CA and states that the agreement is between "Premier Benefits, Inc." and [the member]. It also says fees will be taken from the checking account given by the member.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!

Romantic Wedding Portraits
Out of all the wedding expenses I knew we would have, the one I dreaded most was the photographer. Our dear friend took our engagement photos for us, but we want her to be able to kick back and enjoy the wedding—especially since her daughter is our flower girl! So the photographer research began. Beautiful romantic wedding portraits to last a lifetime are a top priority.
I know I love soft, romantic photography. The use of natural light is important to me. We are going to be surrounded by so much beautiful Tennessee countryside that I want to feature in the background of our pictures.

REVEALED: Why Shahrukh won't celebrate JTHJ's success party in public?
Shahrukh Khan's much-awaited movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan, that got released on November 13 amidst the festive season of Diwali, has received mixed reactions from the critics and the viewers. The movie has been considered as a HIT, after it crossed the 100 crore mark at the Box Office worldwide.
Hence, keeping the film's huge success in mind, a great success party is expected by all. While an interview with a leading daily, when Shahrukh was enquired about his plans over JTHJ's success bash, SRK gave a disappointing answer.
Revealing his plans, SRK said that they won't be celebrating Jab Tak Hai Jaan's success party in public. Rather, he would call Aditya Chopra, Katrina and Anushka to his residence and hug each other as a part of the celebration. Khan also revealed the reason behind such a lacklustre celebration, claiming, "The film stems from a slightly sad place, so we'll simply hug each other for having made a good film."

The Bucks have a lot of work to do once the offseason activities can begin. Plenty of roster changes are likely in the works. Let's take a look at five moves the Bucks should strongly consider making.

I am very disappointed with Amazon's poor customer service and failure to take responsibility for what is clearly a defective product. I have now lost all access to the 6 or 7 books that I have purchased, and the only way to regain access would be to dole out another $70. Given that I can't expect the next Kindle to last more than a year, and that I would need to repeat this cycle over and over again, this does not seem to be an economical proposition.
Save yourself the time and money and stick to real books, or try the Nook. Barnes and Noble might be more considerate of their customers.

Of Mice and Men
by John Steinbeck
Of Mice and Men Chapter 1 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph) Though Steinbeck did not originally include chapter numbers with the text, most editions are broken into six sections, based on day and time of day: Thursday evening = Chapter 1; Friday day = Chapter 2; Friday evening = Chapter 3; Saturday night = Chapter 4; Sunday afternoon = Chapter 5; Sunday evening = Chapter 6.
Quote 10
Lennie looked sadly up at him. "They was so little," he said apologetically. "I'd pet 'em, and pretty soon they bit my fingers and I pinched their heads a little and then they was dead—because they was so little. I wish't we'd get the rabbits pretty soon, George. They ain't so little." (1.79)
Hm. On a second look, it doesn't seem like these mice deaths are so accidental after all. They take place when Lennie retaliates against them by pinching their heads. He might not mean to kill them, but he definitely means to hurt them.
Quote 11
There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water. (1.2)
Something about this sentence makes us think that Steinbeck is suggesting that those carefree boys coming down for a swim—probably full of their own American Dreams—are going to grow up to be those tired, glum tramps.
Quote 12
"Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place. They come to a ranch an' work up a stake and then they go inta town and blow their stake, and the first thing you know they're poundin' their tail on some other ranch. They ain't got nothing to look ahead to." (1.113)
Whatever the American Dream is, this isn't it: a bunch of lonely, itinerant farmworkers that George describes as being without family or hope. Steinbeck seems to be saying that you can't build a nation on these men—and we're inclined to agree.

After Ayesha, Anurag Kashyap takes on Kingfisher Airlines
On his Twitter page, Anurag Kashyap recalled his one-year old bad experience in Kingfisher Airlines. The Bollywood director, wrote, "I had a terrible Kingfisher experience too. Flew to London last year and Sid Mallya was flying too & the entire staff was just catering to him," Anurag further tweeted, "When the boss was there they forgot that others existed too."
Ayesha Takia had alleged earlier this week that a Kingfisher Airlines staff misbehaved and tore her sister Natasha Takia's boarding pass at Delhi Airport. Although Siddharth Mallya irked by her allegations, Vijay Mallya soothed her down by apologising and also assured her to get it investigated.

How Economics Shapes Science
You save US$2.34
Free delivery worldwide
Dispatched from the UK in 2 business days
The beauty of science may be pure and eternal, but the practice of science costs money. And scientists, being human, respond to incentives and costs, in money and glory. Choosing a research topic, deciding what papers to write and where to publish them, sticking with a familiar area or going into something new--the payoff may be tenure or a job at a highly ranked university or a prestigious award or a bump in salary. The risk may be not getting any of that. At a time when science is seen as an engine of economic growth, Paula Stephan brings a keen understanding of the ongoing cost-benefit calculations made by individuals and institutions as they compete for resources and reputation. She shows how universities offload risks by increasing the percentage of non-tenure-track faculty, requiring tenured faculty to pay salaries from outside grants, and staffing labs with foreign workers on temporary visas. With funding tight, investigators pursue safe projects rather than less fundable ones with uncertain but potentially path-breaking outcomes. Career prospects in science are increasingly dismal for the young because of ever-lengthening apprenticeships, scarcity of permanent academic positions, and the difficulty of getting funded. Vivid, thorough, and bold, How Economics Shapes Science highlights the growing gap between the haves and have-nots--especially the vast imbalance between the biomedical sciences and physics/engineering--and offers a persuasive vision of a more productive, more creative research system that would lead and benefit the world.show more

Review quote
Illuminating and accessible...Using the "tool bag" economics provides for "analyzing the relationships between incentives and costs," [Stephan] penetrates the financial structure of university-based science, explaining the motivation and behavior of everyone from august university presidents and professors to powerless and impecunious graduate students and postdocs. It's a remarkably revealing approach...The short space at my disposal allows me to present just a hint of the penetrating discoveries waiting in this book...[A] rigorous and clear-eyed examination of the money trail. She conveys her findings in clear, comprehensible prose. If you want to understand what is really happening in American academic science today, here's my advice: Read this enlightening book. -- Beryl Lieff Benderly Science 20120106 A big biomedical lab spends 18 cents a day to keep one lab mouse, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars for animals each year. Economist Paula Stephan takes an exhaustive look at how publicly funded science pays such bills, and how this affects research, researchers and the economy. She argues that expanding universities and stagnant budgets have made funders and scientists more risk-averse, and stunted the development of young investigators. Nature 20120209 How Economics Shapes Science should be required reading for all scientists and students of science, who are increasingly called upon to adopt the language and logic of economics and engage in policy discussions. Paula Stephan (an economist at Georgia State University) makes her case in simple, easy-to-follow language, using timely examples...The book starts by summarizing the case that private industry alone will not invest in the socially optimal level of research, which will ultimately decrease the rate of innovation and lower economic growth. The logic is worth repeating at a time when there are calls for limiting government support for research and researchers face pressures to engage in lower-risk projects. Stephan convincingly argues that monetary incentives increasingly determine the behavior of researchers at the expense of scientists' desire to participate in the joy of solving problems, receive recognition, and obtain a good reputation. -- Maryann Feldman Science 20120309 This volume provides a useful summary of how economics shapes science that is accessible to students and researchers in a variety of disciplines and to policy makers. -- R. B. Emmett Choice 20120401 [An] original and engaging book...Informed, authoritative and thoughtful, Stephan's book will be an invaluable resource for scientists, policymakers and all those working to improve the "science of science and innovation policy" in the U.S., Europe and further afield. -- James Wilsdon Times Higher Education 20120412 [A] rich, data-driven, and nuanced discussion of science and economics...[A] excellent book. Stephan addresses how R&D spending is often driven by politics--either geo-politics (the Cold War) or personal politics (biomedical research), and how jobs in the sciences respond accordingly (and how competitive options for smart people have affected job uptake). She also talks about how difficult science and research spending is to measure from an economic efficiency perspective--essentially, because payback on investments can be quite indirect and take decades, choosing between investment options is fraught with the chance for mistakes. And the emerging trend showing that higher-impact science comes from funding entities that evaluate people instead of projects and provides longer-term funding is also covered...This book will have a special place on my shelf, as one of a handful of books that demand to be revisited, referenced, and re-read because there is so much clear and important information to be had, and some definite criticisms of the current system policy-makers need to consider. -- Kent Anderson Scholarly Kitchen 20120411show more

User talk:Karin Bütler
Hi Karin, welcome to IMSLP and thanks for your contributions! I noted you uploaded some scans and also some typesetted scores. Do you happen to know the source of these files? (e.g. who typesetted the scores or who scanned them). If you do, you may put that info in the file description form, along with possible publisher information.
Best wishes, --Peter 18:02, 27 December 2006 (EST)
- Hello Peter - thank you for welcoming me (and correcting the mistakes in my articles ;-))! Unfortunately, I rarely know any publisher information as I got most scores from my local conservatory, which means, I usually trawl through the library, looking for old editions, and then copy them directly there... therefor I only have seperated sheets at home and cannot determine which edition it originally was in. As for the typsettet scores, I found them online some time ago, but unluckily I forgot where it was :-). But I'll add the missing information as soon as I figured them out! Best regards --Karin Bütler 21:00, 27 December 2006 (EST)
Hi Karin! I see that you are trying to submit Alkan's Op.10... but since it is a set of four pieces, it is probably a good idea to put them on the same work page, as to reduce the clutter in the composer category :) You can move files by simply copying the corresponding wikitext over from another page. Also, you might find the score submission guidelines helpful, as it lists what to do in certain cases :)
Thanks for the files! --Feldmahler 19:38, 30 December 2006 (EST)
- Hello Feldmahler! Yes, I uploaded Op.10 No.1 but as I haven't got a second one yet, I simply forgot to make a workpage for all three or four pieces (I thought No.3 is lost - so there are probably only three of them left...). Thank you for your advice, though. I already read the score submission guidelines (several times :-)), you may be surprised to hear - I simply struggle with some small details sometimes :-). But I'm getting better: I just put Op.32 together - be proud of me :-). Best regards --Karin Bütler 20:19, 30 December 2006 (EST)
- Hehehe, not bad :) Interesting scores you managed to get there... are you a conservatory student too? --Feldmahler 22:10, 30 December 2006 (EST)
- Lol... I somehow forgot to read your user page, which would answer my question ^_^;; Also, a happy new year to you! --Feldmahler 03:45, 31 December 2006 (EST)
German Translation
Great! And yes, its a good idea to copy the original text over and translate only the text (so you don't have to worry about the coding part) :) I'll write both of your names (yours and Jijimufu's) on the Internationalization page.
And about the signatures, you just have to type ~~~~ and the program will automatically substitute your name and the time :) Like this -> --Feldmahler 22:00, 1 January 2007 (EST)
- I was just checking the forums when I realized that I *somehow* managed to miss your offer to translate IMSLP to German the last time I checked, even though I apparently answered another thread right above it... sorry! I must have been seriously sleep-deprived back then... --Feldmahler 05:59, 2 January 2007 (EST)
- Well, obviously I'm getting mobbed here! :-D No, don't worry, it doesn't matter - I know you cannot be everywhere at the same time!
- I've just finished translating the main page into German - I may still have to alter some formulations, but the layout surprisingly looks quite as it should :-). It's titled "Hauptseite" in case you want to add it to the English main page... I'll translate the other less important sites bit by bit - I hope there is not all too much of a rush!
- Ah, it's ~~~~! Stupid me made only three of this stripes! But it isn't important anymore, as the editing panel works again! Bye --Karin Bütler 18:54, 2 January 2007 (EST)
Hello Karin, it seems that you have all of the Alkan under control, but I thought I would offer (just in case) a few scores of his that you haven't uploaded yet and don't have on your list. They are:
Super flumina babylonis, Op. 52
Steibelt Variations, Op. 1
3 Etudes de bravoure Op. 12 (different from Op. 16)
Variations in the old style after Donizetti's Elisir d'amore
Transcription of Jamais dans ces beaux lieux from Gluck's Armide
Le Vent (No. 2 from Trois Morceaux Op. 15)
Toccatina, Op. 75
Sonatine, Op. 61
I have a feeling you have these already, since a lot of the files you uploaded are exactly the same as ones I already possessed, which I had a hard time coming by. Did you perchance get them from the same site I did? It was this Japanese site from a long time ago...
--Goldberg988 00:45, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- Hello Goldberg! No, actually I haven't got any of these scores you listed above (- everything under control, though :-) -) so please feel free to add them. I didn't know there where some 'Etudes des bravoure' in another Opus... cool! But even if I was going to add them myself you could just have uploaded them anyway...whoever gets first :-). No, it's really kind you're asking. Finally my scanning queue makes sense :-). I mean, you stole the show anyway by uploading the "Piano Symphony" which was listed on the wishlist :-D. Hehe. No, I'm really looking forward to your scores! Let's make the Alkan site explode! :-) --Karin Bütler 09:21, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- Oh I forgot: No, I didn't get the scores from a Japanese site, since I got real problems navigating such sites :-). Most of them I found on different internet sites, a few from friends and others I scanned myself... Bye :-)
- Actually, I didn't upload the piano symphony, but thanks anyway! By the way, have you ever gotten around to learn any of these works by Alkan? They have always intimidated me (especially the Minor Etudes and the Grande Sonate, which are my to favorite opera). --Goldberg988 09:38, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- You didn't? Ah right, it was beethoven986... only thing I remembered were the three numbers behind the nickname - excuse me! :-) Yes, Alkans pieces are intimidating and a lot of work , indeed. I never started with any of the Minor Etudes nor the Grande Sonate. I play the Scherzo-Focoso and the Marche Funèbre - which I both love! I used to play the Rondeau Chromatique but I forgot most parts of it... quite sad regarding the effort I put in. But one thing I always wonder about Alkan's pieces: Aren't there a lot of similarities to Chopin-Works? Most of all in the left hand? Some parts of the Concerto da Camera resemble somehow a Chopin Prelude. And the figure of the left hand is like the one in Chopin's Fantaisie-Impromptu in some parts - I know Chopin hated that piece himself so maybe he really copied a little bit... On the other hand it could just as possibily be a simple coincidence... I may take up another Alkan piece in future... Do you play any Alkan pieces? And 'playing' of course...is relative ;-) --Karin Bütler 10:46, 4 January 2007 (EST)
- No, I've never attempted any of Alkan's works. To be brutally honest, they don't really appeal to me. there was a time when I was really into his music, listening to everything I could, but now it all sounds kind of trite to me, very technical and not much substance. The Grande Sonate excepted, though; it's a wonderful work.--Goldberg988 20:39, 4 January 2007 (EST)
Hello again. Just wanted to add that I think you are absolutely right an I perfectly understand what you mean by saying Alkan's music lacks substance. To me, a lot of his works (and the ones from other, mostly late romantic composers) sound to me very technical and dry. But the pieces I listed above are different. The Rondo for example has a very pleasant melody - earworm-like even :-). Anyway. I saw you will upload the sonatine Op.61, right? Because I had that on my list, too, but forgot it. I deleted it now so you can upload it if you want... bye! --Karin Bütler 13:30, 6 January 2007 (EST)
- For some reason, I'm missing the first and last movements of Op. 61. I don't know what happened to them... so if you can please upload it. I'll listen to the Rondo-- and maybe I'll get an "earworm"? you're so German :-) --Goldberg988 14:07, 6 January 2007 (EST)
- Hehehe. Isn't "earworm" an official english word? Anyhow, already caught it? :-) Cheering, isn't it? (Now, thats rather British, isn't it? ;-)). No, I know I lack English - I've got some serious problems with prepositions... I speak better than I write, though. --Karin Bütler 14:34, 6 January 2007 (EST)
Hello Karin
Gute Arbeit!!! Hast du vielleicht Alkans Concerto da Camera - Orchestral part, score??? oder weisst du wo das man kann bekommen??? Alkan81 10.30
Hello :)
Heya there :D I am jujimufu, or else Nicolaos-Laonicos Psimicakis-Chalcocondylis, but I bet you'd rather call me juji =D. I am just another member from in here, and I've taken up the Greek translation of the site (I saw you took the German one :D). All I wanted is say hello and just say keep up the good work, because really it takes dedication to spend much of your time translating and uploading all these Alkan scores you've been uploading and everything else :) Take care! ;P ~ jujimufu 21:06, 5 January 2007 (EST)
- Heya back :D I also checked your german translation, and although I don't understand nothing from german (All I know in german is "gesuntheit" -or whatever it's spelled- and "Ich kann kaen deutsch" ;P). I also noticed you finished the public domain, gah, it's soooo huge and has so many legal terms. I'll never get through with it :( I still have the public domain and submission pages. I think that's all that's left, until Feldmahler releases templates for the composers pages so we can translate those too, yay! More work on the way! :D
- Anyway, yes, I saw the statistics :P Great growth in december, yeah. Well, I actually joined on the 26th, and most of my submissions are from the 26th and 27th, just those two days. BTW, since you're interested in music too, you can check YoungComposers.com, the forum, where many young composers are registered and upload their compositions to be commented, or comment about other people's compositions, and there is a shoutbox (something like a chat - which I think is what's missing from a wiki, and it would be really cool to have one :P) where you can talk with other composers :D It's really neat. Uh, this so far, and I hope we'll talk again in the future :) Take care! :D ~ jujimufu 14:47, 6 January 2007 (EST) P.S. My msn is email@example.com in case you have msn too and want to chat sometime or anything, and feel free to copy the entire profile page of mine and change the code to suit your likings, if you want :) It's not like I made anything from scratch, I just used other templates Feldmahler has used in the site ;P
Suite Española No.1, Op.47 (Albéniz, Isaac)
Hey Karin,
i recently downloaded Suite Española No.1, Op.47 (Albéniz, Isaac), and realized it was missing page 5. i was wondering if you had page 5 and could possibly upload it. i really like the song and it is unfortunate not being able to play the entire thing. Thanks.
Alkan Op. 76 etudes
I've been searching for these etudes and was so pleased to find them here! But when I tried to print them, the pdf program asked for a password. Is it set up that way or was there some mistake? These are listed as "public domain", so I thought one could print them... If you can help me with this, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks!
I would also like to note that many of the PDFs she has upload are password-protected from printing. :/ Celach 10:45, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
- I've removed the encryption from most of the Alkan files. They should be printable now. Hobbypianist 14:52, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

How to cut text to kill-ring?
;; cut text between buffer positions and push it to kill-ring. (kill-region 247 528)
Full example: Emacs: Copy/Cut Current Line If No Selection
Note: User's kill-ring content should not change unexpectedly. Emacs lisp function should not use the kill-ring as temp storage area for itself. If your command is specifically designed to put text to the kill-ring so that user can paste it later, then good. Else, just save text to a variable for your elisp program's use.
How to copy text to kill-ring?
;; copy text between buffer positions and push it to kill-ring. (kill-ring-save 247 528)
Full example: Emacs: Copy/Cut Current Line If No Selection
If you already have a string, use
;; push a string into kill-ring (kill-new "dragon dragon")
Full example:
(defun xah-copy-all () "Put the whole buffer content into the `kill-ring'. (respects `narrow-to-region') URL `http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/elisp_cut_copy_yank_kill-ring.html' Version 2015-05-06" (interactive) (kill-new (buffer-string)) (message "Buffer content copied."))
How to paste from kill-ring?
;; paste from kill-ring (yank)
How to mark a region?
To mark a region, do
(push-mark my_positon). The current cursor positon to my_positon will become the new region.
To make the region active, use
(setq mark-active t). 〔➤see Emacs: What's Region, Active Region, transient-mark-mode?〕

Hi, I am a newbie to this so very sorry if I am doing the in the wrong place or get it wrong.
I am trying to organise a "guestbook" style WordPress blog on one of my websites, the main comments box is fine, I have customised the theme to my own colour scheme and design, but I want to add two extra items to the comments area. A "check box" so that people who visit can say that they wish to be added to my mailing list update e-mail and a box where they can pick their country/county where they have visited my site so that I can see just how far away people have found my site. I do have google analytics on the site but that just seems to take the info from where the visitors ISP is located and does not give me specifics. If this can, or is available then can or is there anyone who knows which plugin is needed or an example of the code needed in the first instant. I do have a list of the entries needed in the selector list in a text file so this can be copied and pasted to save excessive typing.
Many thanks in anticipation

Reacting to a radio poll on a potential visit by the Pope, O'Connor – who caused worldwide fury in 1992 when she ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul on US television – warned that there would be a "f **kin bloodbath". "'Young people of Ireland I love u' said Sinead as she pulled the f ***ing trigger," the singer wrote on Twitter.
"There'd be a f**kin bloodbath. Me meet the f **ker off the plane myself," she added. One senior bishop today described the comment as "extreme" and pleaded for "those around Sinead to help her."
"There'd be a f**kin bloodbath. Me meet the f**ker off the plane myself."
The comments have again led friends of the singer to raise concerns about her mental state.
Antrim Bishop Pat Buckley today told the Herald that the comments were "extreme" and showed that the singer was "incredibly vulnerable".
"This is extreme language and it's very worrying," he said.
"I spoke to Sinead a while ago and she's an incredibly talented person. She's a genius in fact. But she's clearly very vulnerable. We cannot condone that type of language, they are very extreme words to use.
"I would hope that if there are people close to her, that they will support her during this time. She appears by her comments that she's near the edge."
Bishop Buckley said that Sinead had done "wonderful work" in helping people in the past and that he hopes she can "get her life back on track".
"I remember the work she did with the poor, the homeless, the drug addicts -- it was admirable. We cannot condemn her for expressing her views but they are worrying."
O'Connor infamously ripped up a picture of John Paul II live on American television in 1992 in protest against clerical abuse.
And fans of the singer bombarded her with messages of support on Twitter after she wrote that she wanted to be dead earlier this month.
The tweets prompted gardai to call to O'Connor's north Wicklow home following the suicide threats.
The mum-of-four admitted she was broken-hearted after her marriage breakdown and had been seeing a psychiatrist.
"Now I wish I was dead. No hope," she said. "Anyway ... If anyone knows how I can kill myself without my kids finding out I did it deliberately please tell me."
Sinead split from her third husband Steve Cooney last April after a year of marriage.
One fan pleaded with Sinead to stay strong: "So much love out there for you," they wrote.
"If anyone knows the lovely, clever, funny Sinead O'Connor can they go and give her the hugest hug," another wrote.

We have a warning before you head out the door to use that Wal-Mart gift card.
Some of them simply aren't working.
Store workers in North Augusta say some customers have zero problems with theirs, while others aren't able to use them at all.
We've also heard the same complaints from people visitng the Augusta area stores.
A spokesperson says this isn't just a problem in our area. Wal-Mart stores all over the country are experiencing this same problem.
We're told the reason for the delay in gift card verifications is because of a third party processing error.
An overload of people using their gift cards could also be part of the problem.

Skip to comments.LIVE @ 4pm: Ann Coulter Speaks At CPAC
Posted on 02/08/2008 1:48:09 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Ann Coulter wasn't invited to CPAC this year but she's still giving a speech 50 yards away. The speech is only open to 500 attendees but you can watch it live here -- courtesy of uStream. (VIDEO)
Anne Coulter for Veep!
So McCAin shows up at CPAC so does the RLC, and McCain supporters flood the place and Ann is kicked to the curb.
First the GOP and now CPAC
is no where safe?
Isn't she on Hillary's team? Forget her (until she writes a good column that I agree with and enjoy).
Up is down, right is left.
Thank you for posting this. I wish I had seen it from the beginning!
Who is she going to call "a bundle of sticks" today!
...and every cop is a criminal, and all the sinners saints.
and Obama is handsome and articulate
Go campaign for Hillary somewhere else.
Go toss away the Supreme Court and the sacrifices made in Iraq & the GWOT somewhere else.
Of whom?????
I've been watching the speech, it has been great.
Well, draw your own conclusions.
McManiac is not my man - its pretty obvious some people are willing to forgo principle for a little attention and a pat on the top of the head.
Ann, obviously, is not.
If you can't agree with any of Ann's columns, perhaps you are in the wrong forum.
My,my such vitriol.
McManiac is indeed working overtime priming conservative forums with his mouthpieces.
I am a conservative first not a Republican. I disagree with some of Ann's stuff but here we agree and stand by principle of a base sellout in the name of party unity.
My post was not well phrased. I was being tongue in cheek, meaning to say that Ann Coulter's nonsense about working for Hillary is offputting, but that I'm sure I'll forgive her when I read another of her columns. I think she has been wonderful and hope she steps away from jumping off the cliff into irrelevant nut land. I am a little worried though that she is in the cut-off-our-noses to spite our face side of the house now . . . and I don't want 3 or 4 S.Ct. justices appointed by Obama or Hillary. We will not progress politically in my lifetime if that happens. The S.Ct. will make liberal laws even if we win the Congress.
Lest anyone forgot, WE ARE AT WAR!!!!! NOW IS NOT THE TIME IN HISTORY TO TEACH THE PARTY A LESSON!!
This is not a case of a current CINC, nor a to-be CINC. This is the case of a 'decision process' where everyone, up until the actual nomination of both parties' candidates has some 'deciding' to do. This is PRECISELY the time to teach a party a lesson.....before it IS too late. Wrong, Just Wrong, and it is disingenuous to imply so.
That's nohing new. The RNC has always held the view that the conservative right is to be let out of their cage just long enough to cast votes the way they were given instructions how to by the RNC elites and then kicked in the teeth and told to go away until needed next election. NO more!! I for one will not take any more of their crap
Terrific video, especially the question and answer period.
Thanks for the link!
I cought the last 10-15 min. will it be replayed? Wish this had been posted earlier.
Coulter Speaks to CPAC
Best-selling author and columnist Ann Coulter elaborated to Conservative Political Action Conference participants why she said she would campaign for Democrat Hillary Clinton for president over Republican John McCain.
She wont want to be the first girl President who loses a war and she [Hillary] would actually enjoy torture in Guantanamo, Coulter said in a Friday afternoon speech at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C.
The event was held at the CPAC convention hall, but not sponsored by CPAC— largely because of controversial remarks she made at the convention last year about former North Carolina Senator John Edwards.
Instead, it was organized by Citizens United, Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, Human Events, Young Americas Foundation and Townhall. It was not held in the main ballroom where President Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney spoke earlier in the conference, but in a room nearby.
More than 500 people attended the event. Many of audience members wore large stickers that said I want Ann Coulter implying they wished she was permitted to speak on the main ballroom floor.
We love you, Ann! several audience members shouted as she approached the podium.
As this speech indicates Ann Coulter is the most popular speaker CPAC had in modern time, said YAF spokesman Jason Mattera.
Coulter tried to bring cheer to conservatives who dread a second Clinton Administration
If Hillary gets elected at least well get the silverware back! she quipped.
In her remarks, Coulter said she was certain McCain would not nominate any judges for the Supreme Court without checking with his good friend Teddy Kennedy.
I dont think my girl Hillary is going to listen to Teddy Kennedy anymore! Coulter said, taking a shot at Kennedys decision to endorse Obama over Clinton.
Coulter compared McCain to former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who also service in the military. Coulter noted Democrats believed Kerry would win because, Oh, hes a war hero.
Thatll work, Coulter said sarcastically. I predict our strategy will work as well as it did for the Democrats.
Coulter noted Barack Obamas popularity briefly. She said his biggest selling point was he is one of the least dangerous people I know named Hussein.
His first big accomplishment was being born half-black, Coulter said. He wouldnt be running for President if he werent half-black.
She said she would be able to help Clintons campaign because I actually know some black people.
Michelle Malkin, on the other hand....
Only caught the last half hour, but she was pretty good. Placated the Ron Paul people nicely. Slapped Huckabee. Even said she might possibly be convinced to change her mind on McCain, considering her hatred for the Clintons.
Lest anyone forgot, WE ARE AT WAR!!!!! NOW IS NOT THE TIME IN HISTORY TO TEACH THE PARTY A LESSON!!
How long have we been at war? how long will we be at war?
Long before 9/11 and probably for the next 100 years or so. I don't think I can wait 100 years to try and reform or start a new party. I will not vote for McCain.
I didn't get it all, but thanks so much for posting it. I did love it, don't get to see and hear her speaking much. She's very good at what she does and funny. First good laughs I've had for awhile.
Hilary actually said something like "the more the merrier" when asked about Ann's recent comments. There was no rebuke.
It is in McCain's DAN to take revenge upon the Conservative base. If elected, he would appoint extremely liberal judges. He will close GITMO and run any war from the W.H. ala LBJ.
The only joy I have is that there is a low probability McCain will be elected, especially if Hillary is the Rat nominee.
"How many $$$ will this wild statement bring in?" she laughs.
Bill Mahler is one of her good friends, according to her.
Can someone tell us what she's saying, instead of telling us what they think about what she hadn't yet said?
bump to your comment.
opps, DAN=> DNA
Perhaps you should read a few of my posts before accusing me of being a McCain mouthpiece.
Kicked Ann to the curb when she said she was going to campaign for the Hildabeast... s pffft
Yes, there is a safe place. In the developing Conservative Party. Welcome!
" (until she writes a good column that I agree with and enjoy)."
For good reason. Coulter is gonna vote for Hillary. Ann's insane, she belongs at Moveon.org!
I don't know about THAT...she makes her living being controversial and making people think. That said, I don't agree that we Hillary is a better choice than McCain and THAT is only because do you really think the followers of David Koresh voted or thought the powers that be were any concern of their's? Are they any less dead for it? Did they deserve to be incinerated just because they were harmless, brainwashed idiots?
I'm not sure McCain would be much of a better choice, and on that I believe I know where she's coming from there...but voting in a rabid Marxist or a sleeper Islamist is NOT a viable option.
I don't care WHICH conservative you vote for (though Paul would give us to the Islamists with his xenophobic policies) but PLEASE vote.
And Hillary is the smartest woman in the world.
There will be a price to pay for supporting McCain.
We can vote conservative on Senate and House primary seats, and vote for anyone other than McCain on the Presidential seat, including a democrat in the general election.
McCain voted for Ginsburg and Breyer. He believes Alito is too conservative. McCain wants to confer Constitutional rights on the terrorists and close Gitmo.
Your threats will not work here.
Hmmmm, no rebuke, telling.....
That implies that I think they actually want to learn something from us.
Better to commence voting ONLY for conservative principles or 'NONE of the above REPRESENT my Constitutional and moral values'...
Holding noses has gotten us to the blatant coronation of liberals in elephant clothing. We must show some support for principles and quit running off the few conservatives when they do put themselves out there by crying about electibilty...
Ann Coulter is part of the reason we're in this mess. When she was on talk shows, she would say she liked Duncan Hunter and sometimes in the same breath she said she liked Mitt Romney too. (I don't think Romney is a real conservative) Rush did almost the same thing mentioning Fred Thompson along with Romney. Ditto for Laura Ingram.
Notice a pattern here?
The whole thing was a bait-and-switch scheme.
McCain actually did what the Senate used to do and that was advise and consent on justices when there were democrat presidents. The dems on the other hand feel no need to stick to the traditions of the senate when a conservative is nominated.
I'm not sure who you think I'm threatening. Making my case against the Democrats is now threatening here? Making my case for the most conservative possible outcome of this election is threatening? Making my case for what I think is the least damaging thing for our country is threatening? This argument is bordering on McCain Derangement Syndrome.
