In music, the sound of two or more notes heard simultaneously. In a narrower sense harmony refers to the extensively developed system of chords and the rules that govern relations between them in Western music. Harmony has always existed as the "vertical" (the relationship between simultaneous melodic lines) aspect of older music that is primarily contrapuntal; the rules of counterpoint are intended to control consonance and dissonance, which are fundamental aspects of harmony. However, the sense of harmony as dominating the individual contrapuntal lines followed from the invention of the continuo circa 1600; the bass line became the generating force upon which harmonies were built. This approach was formalized in the 18th century in a treatise by Jean-Philippe Rameau, who argued that all harmony is based on the "root" or fundamental note of a chord. Tonality is principally a harmonic concept and is based not only on a seven-note scale of a given key but on a set of harmonic relations and progressions based on triads (three-note chords) drawn from the scale.

Nevertheless, the simultaneous sounding of notes was not part of musical practice in antiquity; harmonía merely provided a system of classification for the relationships between different pitches. In the Middle Ages the term was used to describe two pitches sounding in combination, and in the Renaissance the concept was expanded to denote three pitches sounding together.
It was not until the publication of Rameau's 'Traité de l'harmonie', in 1722, that any text discussing musical practice made use of the term in the title. The work is however by no means considered the earliest record of theoretical discussion of the topic. This and similar texts tend to survey and codify the musical relationships that were closely linked to the evolution of tonality from the Renaissance, to the late Romanic periods. The underlying principle behind these texts is the notion that harmony sanctions harmoniousness (sounds that 'please') by conforming to certain pre-established compositional principles.
Current dictionary definitions, while attempting to give concise descriptions often highlight the ambiguity of the term in modern use. Such ambiguities tend to arise from either aesthetic considerations (espousing, for example, the view that only "pleasing" concords may be harmonious) or from the point of view of musical texture (distinguishing between harmonic, simultaneously sounding pitches and contrapuntal, successively sounding tones). In the words of Arnold Whitall:
The view that modern tonal harmony in Western music began in about 1600 is commonplace in music theory. This is usually accounted for by the 'replacement' of horizontal (of contrapuntal) writing, common in the music of the Renaissance, with a new emphasis on the 'vertical' element of composed music. Modern theorists, however, tend to see this as an unsatisfactory generalisation. As Carl Dahlhaus puts it:
Descriptions and definitions of harmony and harmonic practice may show bias towards European (or Western) musical traditions. For example, South Asian art music (Hindustani and Karnatak) is frequently cited as placing little emphasis on what is perceived in western practice as conventional 'harmony'; the underlying 'harmonic' foundation for most South Asian music is the drone, a held open fifth (or fourth) that does not alter in pitch throughout the course of a composition. Pitch simultaneity in particular is rarely a major consideration. Nevertheless many other considerations of pitch are relevant to the music, its theory and its structure, such as the complex system of Rāgas, which combines both melodic and modal considerations and codifications within it. So although intricate combinations of pitches sounding simultaneously in Indian classical music do occur they are rarely studied as teleological harmonic or contrapuntal progressions, which is the case with notated Western music. This contrasting emphasis (with regard to Indian music in particular) manifests itself to some extent in the different methods of performance adopted: in Indian Music improvisation takes a major role in the structural framework of a piece, whereas in Western Music improvisation has been uncommon since the end of the 19th century,. Where it does occur in Western music (or has in the past), the improvisation will either embellish pre-notated music or, if not, draws from musical models that have previously been established in notated compositions, and therefore employ familiar harmonic schemes.
There is no doubt, nevertheless, that the emphasis on the precomposed in European art music and the written theory surrounding it shows considerable cultural bias. The Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (Oxford University Press) identifies this quite clearly:
Yet the evolution of harmonic practice and language itself, in Western art music, is and was facilitated by this process of prior composition (which permitted the study and analysis by theorists and composers alike of individual pre-constructed works in which pitches (and to some extent rhythms) remained unchanged regardless of the nature of the performance).
Some traditions of music performance, composition, and theory have specific rules of harmony. These rules are often held to be based on natural properties such as Pythagorean tuning's low whole number ratios ("harmoniousness" being inherent in the ratios either perceptually or in themselves) or harmonics and resonances ("harmoniousness" being inherent in the quality of sound), with the allowable pitches and harmonies gaining their beauty or simplicity from their closeness to those properties. While Pythagorean ratios can provide a rough approximation of perceptual harmonicity, they cannot account for cultural factors.
Early Western religious music often features parallel perfect intervals; these intervals would preserve the clarity of the original plainsong. These works were created and performed in cathedrals, and made use of the resonant modes of their respective cathedrals to create harmonies. As polyphony developed, however, the use of parallel intervals was slowly replaced by the English style of consonance that used thirds and sixths. The English style was considered to have a sweeter sound, and was better suited to polyphony in that it offered greater linear flexibility in part-writing. Early music also forbade usage of the tritone, as its dissonance was associated with the devil, and composers often went to considerable lengths, via musica ficta, to avoid using it. In the newer triadic harmonic system, however, the tritone became permissible, as it could form part of a consonant, yet unstable, dominant seventh chord.
Although most harmony comes about as a result of two or more notes being sounded simultaneously, it is possible to strongly imply harmony with only one melodic line through the use of arpeggios or hocket. Many pieces from the baroque period for solo string instruments, such as Bach's Sonatas and partitas for solo violin, convey subtle harmony through inference rather than full chordal structures; see below:
Carl Dahlhaus (1990) distinguishes between coordinate and subordinate harmony. Subordinate harmony is the hierarchical tonality or tonal harmony well known today, while coordinate harmony is the older Medieval and Renaissance tonalité ancienne, "the term is meant to signify that sonorities are linked one after the other without giving rise to the impression of a goal-directed development. A first chord forms a 'progression' with a second chord, and a second with a third. But the earlier chord progression is independent of the later one and vice versa." Coordinate harmony follows direct (adjacent) relationships rather than indirect as in subordinate. Interval cycles create symmetrical harmonies, such as frequently in the music of Alban Berg, George Perle, Arnold Schoenberg, Béla Bartók, and Edgard Varèse's Density 21.5.
Other types of harmony are based upon the intervals used in constructing the chords used in that harmony. Most chords used in western music are based on "tertial" harmony, or chords built with the interval of thirds. In the chord C Major7, C-E is a major third; E-G is a minor third; and G to B is a major third. Other types of harmony consist of quartal harmony and quintal harmony.
The following are common intervals:
Root | Major Third | Minor third | Fifth |
C | E | Eb | G |
Db | F | Fb/E | Ab |
Eb | G | Gb | Bb |
F | A | Ab | C |
G | B | Bb | D |
Ab | C | Cb/B | Eb |
Bb | D | Db | F |
Therefore, the combination of notes with their specific intervals—a chord—creates harmony. For example, in a C chord, there are three notes: C, E, and G. The note "C" is the root tone, with the notes "E" and "G" providing harmony.
In the musical scale, there are twelve pitches. Each pitch is referred to as a "degree" of the scale. In actuality, there are no names for each degree—there is no real "C" or "E-flat" or "A". Nature did not name the pitches. The only inherent quality that these degrees have is their harmonic relationship to each other. The names A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are insignificant. The intervals, however, are not. Here is an example:
1° | 2° | 3° | 4° | 5° | 6° | 7° | 8° |
As you can see there, no note always corresponds to a certain degree of the scale. The "root", or 1st-degree note, can be any of the 12 notes of the scale. All the other notes fall into place. So, when C is the root note, the fourth degree is F. But when D is the root note, the fourth degree is G. So while the note names are intransigent, the intervals are not. In layman's terms: a "fourth" (four-step interval) is always a fourth, no matter what the root note is. The great power of this fact is that any song can be played or sung in any key—it will be the same song, as long as the intervals are kept the same.
When the intervals surpass the Octave (12 semitones), these intervals are named as "Extended intervals", which include particularly the 9th, 11th, and 13th Intervals, widely used in Jazz and Blues Music.
Extended Intervals are formed and named as following:
Apart from this categorization, intervals can also be divided into consonant and dissonant. As explained in the following paragraphs, consonant intervals produce a sensation of relax and dissonant intervals a sensation of tension.
The consonant intervals are considered to be the Unison, Octave, Fifth, Fourth and Major and Minor Third. However, harmonically the Fourth interval is considered as a dissonance even though it's the inversion of a Fifth, therefore all the previous intervals are named as Perfect Consonant Intervals while the Fourth is categorized as Imperfect Consonant Interval.
All the other intervals, such as the 7th, 9th, 11th, and 13th are considered Dissonant and require resolution (of the produced tension) and usually preparation (depending on the music style used).
Typically, a dissonant chord (chord with a tension) will "resolve" to a consonant chord. A good harmonization usually sounds pleasant to the ear when there is a balance between the consonant and dissonant sounds. In simple words, that occurs when there is a balance between "tension" and "relax" moments. Because of this reason, usually tensions are 'prepared' and then 'resolved'.
Preparing a tension means to place a series of consonant chords that lead smoothly to the dissonant chord. In this way the composer ensures to build up the tension of the piece smoothly, without disturbing the listener. Once the piece reaches its sub-climax, the listener needs a moment of relaxation to clear up the tension, which is obtained by playing a consonant chord that resolves the tensions of the previous chords. The clearing of this tension usually sounds pleasant to the listener.
Contemporary music has evolved in the way that tensions are less prepared and less structured than in Baroque or Classical periods, thus producing new styles such as Jazz and Blues, where tensions are usually not prepared.

Dark purple grape produces a robust wine
By W. Peter Hoyne
The 2008 Talamo Toro comes from from the Bodega Vinaguarena winery in Spain. | Larry Ruehl~Sun-Times Media
Within the northwestern region of Spain, in close proximity to Portugal, is the province of Zamora where you'll locate the small town of Toro. The grape that is cultivated in this region is Tinta de Toro, which is widely known as Tempranillo. Tempranillo is also used in the production of the red wines from Rioja, which most of us have experience. Rioja can express a delicate fruity profile or a more mature oaky and oxidative personality. The wines of Toro are the alter ego of Tempranillo and a direct contrast to the wines of Rioja. In Toro, this dark, thick skinned grape thrives in the intense heat and sandy soils producing a muscular red. The vineyards in Toro are old vine in character, which amplifies the full-bodied style of these wines.
Bodega Vinaguarena is the winery that produces Talamo and was formed by a close group of friends in 1999. There are over 75 acres of vineyards on this estate with some vines exceeding 30 years old. The 2008 Talamo Toro does not need to be a blend and is 100 percent Tinta de Toro. It is dark purple and expressive with black licorice, dark olive tapenade, smoke and a touch of new oak in the background. There is a blackberry essence built into its youthful tannic backbone, which makes it reminiscent of a youthful Syrah. As Toro continues to expand and gain international recognition, hopefully the wines will retain their affordability along with their robust charm.

Gas laws
The gas laws were developed at the end of the 18th century, when scientists began to realize that relationships between the pressure, volume and temperature of a sample of gas could be obtained which would hold for all gases. Gases behave in a similar way over a wide variety of conditions because to a good approximation they all have molecules which are widely spaced, and the equation of state for an ideal gas is derived from kinetic theory. The earlier gas laws are now considered as special cases of the ideal gas equation, with one or more of the variables held constant.
Boyle's law[edit]
Boyle's law shows that, at constant temperature, the product of the pressure and volume of a given mass of an ideal gas, assuming a closed system, is always constant. It was published in 1662. It can be determined experimentally using a pressure gauge and a variable volume container. It can also be derived from the kinetic theory of gases:if a container, with a fixed number of molecules inside, is reduced in volume, more molecules will hit a given area of the sides of the container per unit time, causing a greater pressure.
As a mathematical equation, Boyle's law is written as either:
where P is the pressure (Pa), V the volume (m3) of a gas, and k1 (measured in joules) is the constant from this equation—it is not the same as the constants from the other equations below.
Charles' law[edit]
Charles' Law, or the law of volumes, was found in 1787 by Jacques Charles. It says that, for a given mass of an ideal gas at constant pressure, the volume is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, assuming a closed system.
As a mathematical equation, Charles' law is written as either:
where V is the volume (m3) of a gas, T is the temperature (measured in Kelvin) and k2 is the constant from this equation—it is not the same as the constants from the other equations below.
Gay-Lussac's law[edit]
Gay-Lussac's law, or the pressure law, was found by Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac in 1809. It states that, for a given mass and constant volume of an ideal gas, the pressure exerted on the sides of its container is proportional to its temperature.
As a mathematical equation, Gay-Lussac's law is written as either:
where P is the pressure (Pa), T is the temperature (measured in Kelvin), and k3 (is the constant from this equation—it is not the same as the constants from the other equations above.
Avogadro's law[edit]
Avogadro's law states that the volume occupied by an ideal gas is proportional to the number of moles present in the container. This gives rise to the molar volume of a gas, which at STP is 22.4 dm3 (or litres). The relation is given by
where n is equal to the number of moles of gas (the number of molecules divided by Avogadro's Number).
Combined and ideal gas laws[edit]
The combined gas law or general gas equation is formed by the combination of the three laws, and shows the relationship between the pressure, volume, and temperature for a fixed mass of gas:
This can also be written as:
With the addition of Avogadro's law, the combined gas law develops into the ideal gas law:
- p is pressure
- V is volume
- n is the number of moles
- R is the universal gas constant
- T is temperature (K)
where the constant, now named R, is the gas constant with a value of .08206 (atm∙L)/(mol∙K). An equivalent formulation of this law is:
- p is the absolute pressure
- V is the volume
- N is the number of gas molecules
- k is the Boltzmann constant (1.381×10−23 J·K−1 in SI units)
- T is the temperature (K)
These equations are exact only for an ideal gas, which neglects various intermolecular effects (see real gas). However, the ideal gas law is a good approximation for most gases under moderate pressure and temperature.
This law has the following important consequences:
- If temperature and pressure are kept constant, then the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the number of molecules of gas.
- If the temperature and volume remain constant, then the pressure of the gas changes is directly proportional to the number of molecules of gas present.
- If the number of gas molecules and the temperature remain constant, then the pressure is inversely proportional to the volume.
- If the temperature changes and the number of gas molecules are kept constant, then either pressure or volume (or both) will change in direct proportion to the temperature.
Other gas laws[edit]
- Graham's law states that the rate at which gas molecules diffuse is inversely proportional to the square root of its density. Combined with Avogadro's law (i.e. since equal volumes have equal number of molecules) this is the same as being inversely proportional to the root of the molecular weight.
- Dalton's law of partial pressures states that the pressure of a mixture of gases simply is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual components. Dalton's Law is as follows:
- ,
where PTotal is the total pressure of the atmosphere, PGas is the pressure of the gas mixture in the atmosphere, and PH2O is the water pressure at that temperature.
- Henry's law states that:
- At constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.

Besides being able to fly a plane, I really enjoyed the people there. Everyone is extremely friendly and informative. It is also a very relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that still feels professional. |
This was my second time using a voucher with Freeway Aviation, and I hope I have the opportunity to use another. Flying is fun but pretty expensive without the deal. |

Great experience - will certainly fly again! |

I enjoyed the freedom of flying the plane. John, my instructor, immediately handed over the control to me as soon as we were safely in the air. I wasn't nervous, and I saw beautful sights that you can only appreciate from that high in the sky. John answered all questions I posed to him. |

The Hope Center
816 Kempsville Road
Chesapeake, VA 23320
The Lord has given us a mandate to see the region of Virginia burn with the Fires of Revival and to see the Prophetic Destiny of this Region come to pass. And that is just what we are going to do on April 27-29th with James Goll & Jeff Jansen. This is not a normal conference. This is a gathering of sons and daughters from across the region to awaken the prophetic destiny of a region. Join us as we yell "Wakey, Wakey" to the state of Virginia.
Service Schedule
Friday Night @ 7pm
Saturday Night @ 7pm
Sunday Afternoon @ 1:30pm
Dr. James W. Goll is the President of Encounters Network, Director of Prayer Storm, and coordinates Encounters Alliance, a coalition of leaders. He is Director of God Encounters Training - e-school of the heart and is a member of the Harvest International Ministries apostolic team. He has shared Jesus in more than 50 nations worldwide teaching and imparting the power of intercession, prophetic ministry, and life in the Spirit. In the spirit of revival and reformation, James desires to facilitate unity in body of Christ by bridge-building and networking among leaders of various streams and back grounds. His passion is to "win for the Lamb the rewards of His suffering." Praying for Israel is a burden of his heart, as Israel fulfills her role in the consummation of the ages.
Jeff?s burning desire is to see churches, cities, regions and whole nations ignited and transformed by the power of God. Jeff flows in a strong prophetic and miracle healing anointing that releases the tangible Glory of God everywhere he goes. Jeff also teaches, trains and equips believers how to live and move in the supernatural Pesence of God and emphasizes that communion and intimacy with the Holy Spirit is vital for transformation. Jeff believes that the same Holy Spirit that rested in and upon Jesus Christ then is the same Spirit that flows in and through the corporate Body of Christ now, and that we are to be equipped and released as Kingdom Ambassadors to the nations of the earth. Global Fire Ministries is an inter-denominational ministry aimed at equipping and igniting the Body of Christ for Global harvest.

Occupation: Electrical Contractor (Ret.)
Occupational Background: Electrician 35 years
Educational Background: HS Grad. Most relevant lesson, results always trump theories
Prior Governmental Experience: Frustrating!
It is time for some backward thinking in American Government! Back to following
God's laws and the Constitution, then we could:
Protect our National Sovereignty
Restore our borders, halt illegal immigration
Guarantee the right to life for our unborn children, and
as adults, keep them out of endless undeclared wars
Retain the right to bear arms
Restore personal property rights
Regain lost American jobs by repealing disastrous trade policies
and "Free Trade" entanglements (see www.stoptheftaa.org)
Stop issuing work visas to aliens competing against unemployed
Eliminate corporate welfare and tax incentives to move factories
Return the court system to its proper role of interpreting
law instead of making it
Repeal the misnamed "Patriot" Act (Orwell just
predicted the wrong year)
Restore proper states' rights
Exclude profanity and obscenity from "free speech"
on airwaves, newsstands and movies. We've had enough!
Regarding Schools: Axe the Dept. of Ed. Return control to
locals. Stop liberal social engineering and refocus
on academics. US seniors now rank last in science among industrialized
nations (a poor trade off for graduating politically correct students)
Provide equal time to recent biblical creation evidence
Put prayer in its proper category, free speech
Count how many issues on this list the major parties have
either caused or only pay lip service to fixing. Do they really represent
your concerns?
If you recognize that America's present course is unsustainable
morally and economically, I challenge you to stop wasting
your vote on the lesser of the two evils. Let's leave our children the sweet
land of liberty we inherited.
To serve, according to Exodus 18:21, 2Chronicles 7:14, and to honor my constitutional
oath, that is my pledge to you.
Now go and do the right thing.

Demi Lovato's sporting her edgiest style ever! The actress/singer posted a sassy pic on June 21 of her wild, multi-colored new hair — she's got new dreadlocks!
Demi Lovato, 21, is NOT the kind of girl who follows the trends — she creates them! Demi debuted gorgeous purple ombre hair at her June 16 concert at the Hollywood Bowl, but now the "Really Don't Care" singer has taken her look even further. Do you give her wild new 'do a thumbs up or thumbs down?
Demi Lovato Gets Dreadlocks: Are You A Fan?
It's officially summertime, and Demi's feeling more confident then ever — so why not switch up her look? The singer not only showed off her purple and teal dreadlocks in her selfie, she also showed off that she buzzed part of the left side of her head!
In the pic, Demi smirks, tilts her sunglasses down to show off her gorgeous eyes and shows off tons of chunky jewelry! While Demi definitely dyed and styled her new look, it doesn't seem like she cut her hair (aside from the buzzed portion) — her long locks still reach past her shoulders.
Demi's the first female star we've seen go full-out with multi-colored dreadlocks. Actress Bella Thorne rocked dreads at a Nintendo event at Quixote Studios in Los Angeles on March 9, but her colorful creations were just temporary. Considering Demi has a buzz-cut on one side of her head, we think it's safe to safe her dramatic hair change is drastic!
Demi Lovato Shows Off Poolside Bikini Picture
We love Demi for getting a crazy cut that she wants and not worrying what the haters will say. And why not? The singer has been embracing her healthier lifestyle — and she's looking better than ever! Demi even posted a poolside bikini pic with the caption, "Summertime" on June 17. After everything Demi's been through during the past couple of years, it's so nice to see her happy and healthy.
What do YOU think about Demi's new look, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!

I don't know if it's dreads. It's kind of hard to really see in this picture but whatever who cares she looks great. She always looks great because she's secure enough in which she is to wear what she wants. Also can we not make this about race. Dreads have been around for a long-time. They're not owned by any race. In fact the Egyptians were the first to wear them and then they were worn by the Maasai men in Kenya, but they're worn all over the world South Asia, Indonesia…etc way before the made it over here. Basically no one has created hairstyle so we're all taking it from somewhere else.
Posted at 6:28 AM on June 23, 2014
@Mika, enough with the race crap. Africans don't respect African Americans like you and don't consider you African. Plus seriously African American women wear all kinds of hairstyles and hair colors. Nobody owns a look. Join us in the real world and stop segregating yourself. We are ALL one race..HUMAN. Society tries to put labels on people, but science doesn't lie..we are all one.
not dreads
Posted at 6:19 AM on June 23, 2014
Those aren't dreads in that picture. Demi is pretty no matter
what. And to the African American girl saying white girls are stealing their hairstyles? First, dreads are Rastafarian, not African and look around at all the women of color using straighteners or wigs to change their natural hair. Nobody has a patent on a hairstyle or hair color. I think you should take your racism elsewhere. Stop using the damn race card, it's 2014 already. Get over yourself and stop separating people by "race" because the only race is the human one.

Oh get over yourself. It's just hair. Thousands of African American women straighten their hair and put weave in it. Are they emulating Caucasians or Asians. And Fyi dreads were worn by people all over the world even the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks as well as the Maasai men of Kenya. So if anyone should complain it should be one of them. Not you. I'm also African American but I believe that your hair more like a way to express yourself. Free to be worn any way you want. It would be a lie for anyone to say that they never saw a hairstyle someone else was wear and decided copy it in someway.

Japanese Contributions to Costa Rica
Three reasons for celebration were mentioned and environmentalist I have a feeling where celebrating also. The first reason was a $9 million dollar agreement with Costa Rica's Institute of Electricity for a project on solar power. Let's not forget that Costa Rica still plans to
be the first carbon neutral country by it's 200th year anniversary 2021. The second w
as an $8 million dollar boost to work on preserving more forest areas. Last but not least which I can imagine will only help the future of Costa Rican real estate and just overall development of the country is a $130 million dollars for the Central Valley sewer project.
There are a number of other things the Japanese have helped with in recent years but these were some of the big contributions that will surely leave a positive impact on all of Costa Rica for years to come. All of these just give more reasons to invest in Costa Rica.

My lady carries a P238, but in her purse. I've been trying to get her to carry it on her person lately, and she likes the apendix carry. Problem is, she keeps the pistol in a remora holster in her purse, and when she tries to apendix carry, she said the gun always tilts in her jean shorts. She blames it on the pistol being heavy. I told her she needs the proper holster and it will work like magic after that.
so I looked around for some apendix holsters, but no luck...
can someone provide me with some apendix carry holsters that work well?
She carries it right hand side. (so it's not a cross draw)
Thanks guys!

Some people think that if frozen food comes in a cardboard box with a plastic bag inside, simply shutting the box is enough to protect the food from freezer burn. I used to believe this, until my fish sticks and french fries developed freezer burn after only a couple of weeks.
So, I started pulling the plastic bag of food out of the box and stuffing it down inside a big ziplock freezer bag. If there were any cooking instructions on the box, I would cut that portion off and tape it to the outside of the bag. I haven't gotten any freezer burn on my foods since.

A couple of decades ago, personal computers weren't portable and cell phones were rare luxuries. Today, a quick glance at the electronics store tells you all you need to know. Gadgets are our playthings and our playthings are portable.
But electronics have improved in other ways, too. iphone 5 unlock Processor speeds have risen dramatically, following Moore's Law. Screen resolution is sharper and more vibrant than ever. And some companies spend almost as much time on aesthetics as they do engineering. But there's one improvement that you can't really see: Glass is getting stronger. The manufacturing company Corning has developed a product it calls Gorilla Glass. The company designed the glass for our electronic lifestyles. As we carry around computers, tablets, smartphones, MP3 players and other devices, we risk damaging them through everyday use. Corning's Gorilla Glass stands up to abuse with scratch and impactresistant qualities.
And Corning's approach allows the glass to be iphone 5 unlock incredibly thin, meaning it won't interfere with capacitance touch screens or add significant weight to a device. What's Corning's secret? What's so special about Gorilla Glass that sets it apart from other kinds of glass? The answer involves incredible temperatures, a special trough, robots and a molten salt bath. The finished product is a thin piece of glass that can withstand a lot of punishment.Get A Free Iphone 5 Now Owning a brand new design with a huger display, iPhone 5 is also provided with a camera taking prime images.

Danny Castillo (twitter: @lastcall155) takes on Shamar Bailey at UFC 139 this weekend (Nov 19, 2011) in San Jose, CA.
Thiago Alves (twitter: @ThiagoAlvesATT) defeated UFC newcomer Papy Abedi at UFC 138. Thiago talks UFC victory, submissions, The Dolce Diet, UFC on FOX, and more with MMA Beatdown!
The show streams live right here on MMADieHards.com on Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 PT (unless otherwise noted). If you cannot catch it live, it's available on demand RIGHT HERE shortly after the completion of the broadcast, and also can be found on iTunes.
In the first five-round non-title fight in promotional history, Mark Munoz needed only two rounds to get the finish of Chris Leben at UFC 138 at the LG Arena in Birmingham, England.
Also on the main card were three straight rear naked choke submissions, by Renan Barao, Thiago Alves and Anthony Perosh, after a guillotine choke made Terry Etim a winner.
Next up for Munoz (12-2) might be a title shot in the middleweight division.
"I paid my dues in this weight class and I think I deserve a title shot," Munoz said. "Anderson Silva is by far the best pound-for-pound fighter, I give him all the respect and honor, but I think I deserve a title shot right now. I consider him a friend, but I'd love to get a title shot."
Leben (22-8) seemingly tried to admit during a stop in the second round that he could not see, but when the cut was cleared off and the referee told him he was going to stop the fight if Leben said he could not see, Leben said he could see, and the match continued.
After the end of the second round, the story changed for good and the fight ended as Leben immediately complained of his lack of vision and had his cornerman back him up.
"Hard to fight when you're choking on blood," Leben said. I couldn't stick to anything, there was blood everywhere. Munoz is a national champion wrestler, as good as they come on the ground. I wanted to keep it on my feet. It takes a man to know when you're beat, and I was beat tonight. My hat's off to Munoz."
Munoz worked hard to establish his lethal ground and pound from the first round, which ended with a back-and-forth slugging match as each fighter got up off the mat. Leben took some heavy shots in the round but in most cases was able to at least deliver hard counter strikes.
Munoz got Leben on his back in the first minute of Round 2 and pounded from the guard, opening what turned out to be the fight-finishing cut around Leben's left eye. With his trademark red-dyed hair, Leben rose, only to be put back down by Munoz against the cage. Munoz worked to half-guard, but Leben twisted out and nearly hit a guillotine. After Munoz escaped, Leben had his cut looked at, and the fight continued with Leben taking more punishment from the bottom through the end of two rounds.
His heart never in question, Leben was done.
"Chris Leben is a tough tough competitor," Munoz said. "I knew I had to look out for his left hand, and he came with it. I had to get rid of my brawling instincts and stay with my wrestling."
Barao ran his unbeaten streak to 28 fights with a first-round submission of Brad Pickett. Barao (27-1, 1 NC), in a fast-paced bantamweight fight, connected with a knee to Pickett's head, sending the Brit to the canvas. Berao then locked in his hooks and took Pickett's back, worked the choke and elicited the tap at 4:09.
Pickett (20-6) has lost two of his last three fights, and fell in his UFC debut.
It took Alves 27 fights, but the American Top Team mainstay finally used his Brazilian jiu-jitsu to earn a submission. Alves schooled Swedish UFC newcomer Papy Abedi in 3:32, turning back his opponent's aggressiveness with precision striking, then finishing him with a rear naked choke in the first round.
Alves came into the fight having lost three of his previous four fights, but looked as impressive as ever in handling Abedi, regarded by many of the top welterweight prospect outside of the UFC before he was signed. Abedi came out slugging and connected with Alves, but Alves blasted him to the canvas with a combination and put him on his back as referee Dan Miragliotta nearly stepped in.
Alves mounted Abedi, steadied his opponent's head with his left hand and unleashed a couple of elbows that found their mark. The dazed Abedi turned slightly, and Alves took his back, sank in the choke and earned an immediate tap.
Perosh was a heavy underdog, but when the grappler put dangerous Frenchman Cyrille Diabate on his back, it was only a matter of time before he earned the submission, as the Australian earned the tap to a rear naked choke at 3:09 of the second round. The finishing position was nearly identical to that of Alves'.
At 39, Perosh has a two-fight winning streak in the UFC since his move to light heavyweight.
Etim kicked off the main card with a 17-second finish of Edward Faaloloto, hitting a guillotine from the standing position and finishing it on the ground. Etim was nine days short of two years since his last win, over Shannon Gugerty at UFC 105. Etim lost to Rafael Dos Anjos UFC 112 in April 2010 and injuries had kept him out of action thereafter.
While the main card was loaded with finishes, the undercard had just one, as Che Mills knocked out Chris Cope with a knee in 40 seconds. In unanimous decisions, John Maguire beat Justin Edwards, Philip De Fries outlasted Rob Broughton, and Michihiro Omigawa defeated Jason Young. In the opening match, Chris Cariaso scored a split decision victory over Vaughan Lee.
Thiago Alves is invigorated and ready to conquer a UFC title.
Alves, once a UFC welterweight title contender, enters the Octagon for the 16th time in his MMA career on Saturday against Papy Abedi at UFC 138 at LG Arena in Birmingham, England.
Though Abedi is a UFC newcomer, Alves is aware that everybody is talented at this level.
"When you're undefeated and you step up to a big show like that a lot of things run through your head," Alves said. "He's going to be determined. There is no easy fight, every fight is tough at this stage. People judge you by your last fight or your last performance. I didn't win in my last performance, so I'm coming for this one."
Alves lost a decision to Rick Story at UFC 130, leaving him 1-3 in his past four bouts. For a combatant that was tearing though the likes of Matt Hughes and Josh Koscheck en route to an ill-fated title shot against Georges St-Pierre, this is a peculiar situation. Alves believes he hasn't performed to the best of his abilities as of late, but vows those days are over.
"I know I can do much better than I did last time," Alves stated. "I stopped fighting in that last round. I don't know what got into me, but that's in the past. There is nothing I can do about it, but I know I can perform better than I did last time.
"There's no more excuses. You got to take this game and make the best of it, so I'm just very excited to get back, to get to fight again, to get back in the cage again. Now with all the conditioning I am doing and all the training I am doing, I feel much better. I'm walking around (much) lighter than I used to. I used to walk around at 205 (pounds), now I walk around at 190 (pounds)."
Alves was always large for a 170-pound competitor.
Alves teamed with Mike Dolce, an MMA fighter turned dietician. His nutrition plan, known as the Dolce Diet, covers a vast range of diets. Dolce's Twitter account is consistently raving with positive reviews from participants who have experienced a Dolce Diet success, and Alves credits his incredible physic to the nutritionist.
"Me and Dolce have a great relationship, I see him as my older brother," Alves said. "I'm very happy I brought him into my life and to my camp at American Top Team to work with me and the other coaches. Now we're taking it to another level. We're combining nutrition with the strength and conditioning training."
In the past, Alves was criticized for missing weight. From fans to UFC president Dana White, it was apparent nobody was happy with it, including Alves.
He nearly missed weight again on Friday, but eventually made it with the one-pound allowance for non-title fights.
"It was a big problem for me to make weight and feel good the next day," Alves explained. "I'm finally over that. Now it just comes down to my hard work and dedication, and I have no problem with that. I'll do whatever it takes to get where I want to be at."
Invigorated and ready to conquer a UFC title. On weight.
Whether it is guilty pleasures, trick-or-treating, or Chris Leben, Mark Munoz loves all that his life has to offer.
Establishing a strong base in wrestling from a young age, "The Filipino Wrecking Machine" (Twitter: @Mark_Munoz) has developed those skills into making him a top middleweight contender.
With a record of 11-2, Munoz will be having his ninth fight with the UFC against the heavy hitting Chris Leben on Saturday at UFC 138 in Birmingham, England.
Fighting across the pond tends to affect fighters due to a mix of time zone change and jet lag. While Munoz did not alter his training regimen, he did think about the time being spent in the gym.
"I haven't changed anything," Munoz explained to MMA Beatdown Radio on the MMADieHards Radio Network. "But it's actually cool because I've been training in the morning this whole camp and the morning time is when I'll actually be fighting. So it'll be cool to fight overseas because my body will already be predisposed to fighting at that time."
Munoz's opponent, Leben, is famously known for bringing it to whoever faces him across the Octagon. Having achieved five fight-night bonuses, Leben has become a favorite fighter for Munoz as well as many fans.
"I'm actually a big fan of Chris Leben," Munoz admitted. "I love the way he fights, he brings the fight every time and from a fan perspective and it's totally awesome to watch him fight. So I'm extremely honored to be able to fight him and stamp our legacy in the middleweight division."
If Munoz is able to come away with a win in England, that may put him in the mix for someone new to challenge the current champ, Anderson Silva. While Munoz admitted to being close friends with the Brazilian champ, he also stated that he is only in the UFC for one reason, and that is to be on top of the pedestal.
However, before the Wrecking Machine can even consider such a scenario, he still has to get through the UFC's first attempt with a non-title five-round fight. With superior cardio and game plan, Munoz does not plan on the fight going the distance.
"I set a high pace fight and he better be ready to go all five rounds," said Munoz, "although I don't think that it is going to go five rounds. I'm confident to take the fight wherever it goes and the game plan is to punch him, and punch him really hard."
When not concentrating on his opponent, Munoz is all about guilty pleasures and quality time.
In training camp, Munoz must give up his one tasty love, at least until the following morning. Rest assured come this Sunday, he will be taking down his Kryptonite, french toast.
"That is very, very correct," said Munoz. "I would love to have loads and loads of french toast with cinnamon on top and maple syrup, man that is my guilty pleasure."
Showing the passion that he has for both fans and family, Munoz carved time out of his schedule to be heard on the MMA DieHards Radio Network while he was at Disney Land with his family for Halloween.
"I have four kids and we're at Disney Land trick-or-treating," Munoz revealed. "We're just getting ready to go trick-or-treating, the kids are all dressed up and it's going to be exciting tonight."
Come Saturday the excitement is going to continue at UFC 138, where Munoz is sure to have some tricks as a treat for Leben.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Needed: Men Who Will be True Heroes for Heroic Women
By Joseph Rogers
September 19th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) We also need honorable young men to reaffirm in young women that they have a true "hero" in them. When the world of pundits tells a young woman that her sex appeal is her strength, a true "hero" will counter that her true strength is in her character and beautiful emotion. When a young woman's friends are pressuring her to do something for cheap status, a true "hero" will resolutely stand by her to affirm and defend her virtue. LONG ISLAND, NY (Catholic Online) - There has been an unusual tide of media attention recently about female sexuality due to the upcoming election in the United States. We have all heard the unfortunate battle cries of "war on women" and "war on mothers." Our nation just fought multiple life exhausting wars in the Middle East and we choose such ridiculous slogans for election propaganda! Despite this election season's unholy politicization of the human person, the most troubling issue is that only female sexuality is under fire while male sexuality has been shelved like yesterday's news. Bonnie Tyler once sang a song called "Holding Out for a Hero." It begins with, "Where have all the good men gone?" and ends with "I need a hero. I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night." The saddest thing about this song is I can see it being played unnoticed in the hearts of many women young and old these days. Well guys, who wants to be a true hero for these women? What exactly does a hero have to do? Wear a cool yellow and red suit with an artificial intelligence called Jarvis? Sling a red, white, and blue shield with a star on it? Get really angry and turn into a super strong hulking green monster? Thankfully life is not a Marvel action film because as nice as those things may sound we have a better model in Christ. "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." (Ephesians 5:25) We all know well what Christ did for and will continue to do for the Church. Christ is not responsible for our sins but in a gift of sincere love He takes responsibility to fulfill humanity's need for a relationship with God. The moral of the story is Christ saw a great need in us and fulfilled it. Consequently, God calls all men to understand the needs of women and fulfill them for a family to flourish. For too long the "experts" and pundits have been selling the unfortunate line that men can't understand women. These insidious characters have struck at the heart of a man's unique role in the family to understand and love his wife as Christ loved the Church. The saddest part is many men have been demoralized by these attacks and are backing away from the most important challenge a man will face in his life. This man, however, has decided that no one is going to tell him what he can and cannot understand except for his God. This man has discovered that he is not perfect but is not going to let imperfection stop him from transcending those imperfections to do his duty. If I must stand alone with Christ so be it! The only reward is an unseen perfect sense of honor that God bestows on each man to fortify him in his quest to love his wife as Christ loves the Church. Do not expect parades, accolades, medals, or ribbons. Instead expect sacrifice, humility, and scorn just like Christ endured. We also need honorable young men to reaffirm in young women that they have a true "hero" in them. When the world of pundits tells a young woman that her sex appeal is her strength, a true "hero" will counter that her true strength is in her character and beautiful emotion. When a young woman's friends are pressuring her to do something for cheap status, a true "hero" will resolutely stand by her to affirm and defend her virtue. A true "hero" will also wipe away the tears and lift up a young woman's spirit when society takes advantage of her. These young men could be anyone but they should be YOU! There is nothing sweeter in the entire world than a woman's genuine affection for a man. It is our turn to return the favor and make sure the next song that is sung is "Held By a Hero!" ----- Joseph Rogers is a 26 year old Catholic man from Long Island, NY studying Material Science. Philosophy, history, and theology to feed his curiosity about understanding the human person. Christ is his greatest inspiration and strength in learning how to better serve those around him. His Catholic faith is important to him and has opened many doors in his life. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

After trying much of the Rodney Strong portfolio at the Wine Bloggers Conference in 2011, I became quite a fan of their wines. And I was thrilled when they so generously joined me as wine sponsor for the Savvy Blogging Summit in Atlanta this year, providing wine for all the bloggers at one of the dinners and hosting a tasting of many of their labels for the bloggers the next evening.
Today I noticed that Wired for Wine is hosting a flash sale of the Rodney Strong Sonoma County Cabernet. Unfortunately, I cannot find any of my own tasting notes on this particular offering by Rodney Strong, (How did I miss this one?) but I do know that it won Best in Class in the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition as well as the Sonoma County Harvest Fair.
It's on sale for just $13.97 a bottle, with free shipping on 6 bottles or more.
