In my case, this line (pasted as the last line of wp-config.php) worked like a charm:

define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false );

I found the solution here: Visual Editor does not appear

I hope it helps anyone!

Linux Mint 12 Preview

As you can see it’s a mix of old and new. It’s a brand new desktop but with traditional components. We’re excited about the new technology but it’s important everyone feels at home. So a Mint desktop looks and behaves like a Mint desktop and this one feels both like Gnome 3 and the traditional Linux Mint desktops that preceded it. You can launch applications from the top left, easily switch between applications and workspaces using the window list or keyboard shortcuts, keep an eye on your notifications at the top and access Gnome 3 features like “activities” from the top-left corner.

The origins of blues is not unlike the origins of life. For many years it was recorded only by memory, and relayed only live, and in person. The Blues were born in the North Mississippi Delta following the Civil War. Influenced by African roots, field hollers, ballads, church music and rhythmic dance tunes called jump-ups evolved into a music for a singer who would engage in call-and-response with his guitar. He would sing a line, and the guitar would answer.

From the crossroads of Highways 61 and 49, and the platform of the Clarksdale Railway Station, the blues headed north to Beale Street in Memphis. The blues have strongly influenced almost all popular music including jazz, country, and rock and roll and continues to help shape music worldwide.

The Blues… it’s 12-bar, bent-note melody is the anthem of a race, bonding itself together with cries of shared self victimization. Bad luck and trouble are always present in the Blues, and always the result of others, pressing upon unfortunate and down trodden poor souls, yearning to be free from life’s’ troubles. Relentless rhythms repeat the chants of sorrow, and the pity of a lost soul many times over. This is the Blues.

The blues form was first popularized about 1911-14 by the black composer W.C. Handy (1873-1958). However, the poetic and musical form of the blues first crystallized around 1910 and gained popularity through the publication of Handy’s “Memphis Blues” (1912) and “St. Louis Blues” (1914). Instrumental blues had been recorded as early as 1913. During the twenties, the blues became a national craze. Mamie Smith recorded the first vocal blues song, ‘Crazy Blues’ in 1920. The Blues influence on jazz brought it into the mainstream and made possible the records of blues singers like Bessie Smith and later, in the thirties, Billie Holiday

The Blues are the essence of the African American laborer, whose spirit is wed to these songs, reflecting his inner soul to all who will listen. Rhythm and Blues, is the cornerstone of all forms of African American music.

Many of Memphis’ best Blues artists left the city at the time, when Mayor “Boss” Crump shut down Beale Street to stop the prostitution, gambling, and cocaine trades, effectively eliminating the musicians, and entertainers’ jobs, as these businesses closed their doors. The Blues migrated to Chicago, where it became electrified, and Detroit.

In northern cities like Chicago and Detroit, during the later forties and early fifties, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, and Elmore James among others, played what was basically Mississippi Delta blues, backed by bass, drums, piano and occasionally harmonica, and began scoring national hits with blues songs. At about the same time, T-Bone Walker in Houston and B.B. King in Memphis were pioneering a style of guitar playing that combined jazz technique with the blues tonality and repertoire.

Meanwhile, back in Memphis, B.B. King invented the concept of lead guitar, now standard in today’s Rock bands. Bukka White (cousin to B.B. King), Leadbelly, and Son House, left Country Blues to create the sounds most of us think of today as traditional unamplified Blues.

Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup, Wyonnie Harris, and Big Mama Thorton wrote and preformed the songs that would make a young Elvis Presley world renown.

In the early nineteen-sixties, the urban bluesmen were “discovered” by young white American and European musicians. Many of these blues-based bands like the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Cream, Canned Heat, and Fleetwood Mac, brought the blues to young white audiences, something the black blues artists had been unable to do in America except through the purloined white cross-over covers of black rhythm and blues songs. Since the sixties, rock has undergone several blues revivals. Some rock guitarists, such as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, and Eddie Van Halen have used the blues as a foundation for offshoot styles. While the originators like John Lee Hooker, Albert Collins and B.B. King–and their heirs Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, and later Eric Clapton and the late Roy Buchanan, among many others, continued to make fantastic music in the blues tradition. The latest generation of blues players like Robert Cray and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, among others, as well as gracing the blues tradition with their incredible technicality, have drawn a new generation listeners to the blues.

300 de copii care se cresc unii pe alţii este mai mult decât un model sau o expertiză socială. Este un miracol. Se fac studii despre educaţia copiilor instituţionalizaţi şi neinstituţionalizaţi, se dau teze de doctorat, se dezbat legi în Parlament, Parlamentul se împarte în două (care lege e mai bună aia asumată de guvern, sau aia a opoziţiei?), sistemul educaţional este distrus, creierele României sunt izgonite din ţară, cei care rămân sunt creiere pasive, critice, sceptice, România este la pământ, batjocorită, jefuită, împărţită, nimeni nu mai crede în nimic…
Şi, în acest timp, fără nicio logică a faptelor, aproape în mod absurd – s-ar putea spune, undeva, între nişte dealuri din judeţul Prahova, se naşte o comunitate de copii abandonaţi de mame, de societate, de România. Se naşte, de fapt, un răspuns la întrebarea pe care toţi ne-o punem, retoric şi ipocrit, ca să ne justificăm laşitatea şi neimplicarea, fiind convinşi că nu există răspuns: “Ce ar mai putea salva România?”. Ei, bine, răspunsul există, şi are în el şi expertiza, şi feed-back-ul, şi autorul de proiect (Dumnezeu), şi coordonatorul executiv (părintele Nicolae Tănase)…

Extrase importante (in opinia mea):

[…] Toata comunitatea traieste din cerseala….Cersim intr-un mod mai ‘camuflat’, asa… si TRAIM….de la mancare, pana la bani, si ceea ce e nevoie…

[…] Cea mai mare problema e constructia caselor….

[…] Sunt romani din afara care ajuta…nu mult, dar ajuta…si sunt si straini care ajuta, si e bine ca ajuta, numai ca ideea lor este ca noi n-avem haine….ori noi avem haine….noi n-avem ciment, usi, ferestre, fier-beton, lemne…adica bani pentru toate astea….

Statul pana acum nu ne ajuta…urmeaza, speram ca de acum urmeaza….

[…] Ajutorul nu trebuie sa aiba limite…

[…] Noi, datorita celor 14 ani de experienta, am constatat ca cei care ne dau, vin si ne mai dau, pentru ca ei insisi au constatat ca li s-au schimbat niste lucruri in viata lor, in familia lor, in firma lor, spre exemplu….si atunci, revin…sa zicem ca cei ce ne dau sunt destul de constanti…
[…] Noi putem multumi cu vorbe, insa Dumnezeu le rasplateste cu aspecte palpabile, dincolo de multumirea sufleteasca…

…ASA EXISTAM NOI…

De ce am ajuns aici:

1. Pentru că ne urâm între noi. – Ardeleni vs. bucureşteni, olteni vs. moldoveni, posesori de „Logan” vs. posesori de „BMW” sh de la nemţi, admiratori ai lui Mircea Badea vs. critici ai lui Mircea Badea, dinamovişti vs. stelişti, corporatişti vs. antreprenori, cumpărători vs. dezvoltatori imobiliari, etc, etc….

2. Pentru că suntem “Gică Contra” din naştere. – Orice iniţiativă în mintea noastră este sortită eşecului. “Cum, afacere în agricultură? Nu ai nicio şansă. Să vinzi cartofi la piaţă, nuuuu! Să deschizi un chioşc, nuuu, te mănâncă mafia locală, îţi sparg ăştia magazinul, vine banca şi îţi ia casa, etc, etc…”. Nici nu vedem că alţii reuşesc în jurul nostru … “Eh, ăştia au pile…”

3. Pentru că indiferent cât de scurt este drumul de parcurs, sau cât de aglomerat este traficul, noi ne urcăm în maşină.( “ca să ajung mai repede…”)

4. Pentru că nu ne bucurăm de viaţă. Suntem mici roboţei doborâţi de grija zilei de mâine .

5. Pentru că vecinii mai vechi din bloc se consideră proprietari ai locurilor de parcare publice din faţa blocului.

6. Pentru că ridicăm 100 de biserici şi 2 şcoli. More »

Graham’s number

(this is the easiest human-understandable description of Graham’s number I found, after going through Wikipedia and a few other websites… thx,

Susan!)

The World Champion largest number, listed in the latest Guinness Book of Records, is an upper bound, derived by R. L. Graham, from a problem in a part of combinatorics called Ramsey theory.

Graham’s number cannot be expressed using the conventional notation of powers, and powers of powers. If all the material in the universe were turned into pen and ink it would not be enough to write the number down. Consequently, this special notation, devised by Donald Knuth, is necessary.

3^3 means ‘3 cubed’, as it often does in computer printouts.

3^^3 means 3^(3^3), or 3^27, which is already quite large: 3^27 = 7,625,597,484,987, but is still easily written, especially as a tower of 3 numbers: 333.

3^^^3 = 3^^(3^^3), however, is 3^^7,625,597,484,987 = 3^(7,625,597,484,987^7,625,597,484,987), which makes a tower of exponents 7,625,597,484,987 layers high.

3^^^^3 = 3^^^(3^^^3), of course. Even the tower of exponents is now unimaginably large in our usual notation, but Graham’s number only starts here.

Consider the number 3^^^…^^^3 in which there are 3^^^^3 arrows. A largish number!

Next construct the number 3^^^…^^^3 where the number of arrows is the previous 3^^^…^^^3 number.

An incredible, ungraspable number! Yet we are only two steps away from the original ginormous 3^^^^3. Now continue this process, making the number of arrows in 3^^^…^^^3 equal to the number at the previous step, until you are 63 steps, yes, sixty-three, steps from 3^^^^3. That is Graham’s number.

There is a twist in the tail of this true fairy story. Remember that Graham’s number is an upper bound, just like Skewes’ number. What is likely to be the actual answer to Graham’s problem? Gardner quotes the opinions of the experts in Ramsey theory, who suspect that the answer is: 6

  • Other notations for writing really big numbers
  • Eliezer S. Yudkowsky‘s description of Graham’s Number as a Great Big Number
  • A brief description of the problem for which Graham’s Number is an upper bound. It also states that “More recently, Exoo (2003) has shown that must be at least 11 and provides experimental evidence suggesting that it is actually even larger.” But, presumably, nowhere near as large as G.

Poezia Vieţii

Un lung tren ne pare viaţa.
Ne trezim în el mergând,
Fără să ne dăm noi seama,
Unde ne-am suit şi când.

Fericirile sunt halte,
Unde stăm cât un minut,
Până bine ne dăm seama,
Sună, pleacă, a trecut.

Iar durerile sunt staţii
Lungi, de nu se mai sfârşesc
Şi în ciuda noastră parcă,
Tot mai multe se ivesc.

Arzători de nerăbdare,
Înainte tot privim,
Să ajungem mai degrabă
La vreo ţintă ce-o dorim.

Ne trec zilele, trec anii,
Clipe scumpe şi dureri,
Noi trăim hrăniţi de visuri
Şi-nsetaţi după plăceri.

Mulţi copii voioşi se urcă.
Câţi în drum n-am întâlnit,
Iar câte un bătrân coboară,
Trist şi frânt, sau istovit.

Vine-odată însă vremea,
Să ne coborâm şi noi.
Ce n-am da atunci o clipă,
Să ne-ntoarcem înapoi?

Dar pe când, privind în urmă,
Plângem timpul ce-a trecut,
Sună goarna VEŞNICIEI:
< Am trăit şi n-am ştiut >

Această poezie deosebită stă scrisă la intrarea în biserica de la Sadinca, jud. Sibiu, loc unde s-au pus bazele unei mici mânăstiri condusă de părintele-călugăr David.
Este pe atât de frumoasă pe cât este de adevărată.
