1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to cooling a computer system. More particularly, the present invention relates to controlling a fan speed to cool a computer system. Still more particularly, the invention relates to a fan speed controller which slowly adjusts a speed of a fan to reduce the audible perceptibility of the speed change.
2. Background of the Invention
Any electrical component that has current flow through it produces heat, and computers are no exception. Heat in a computer system may be tolerable to some degree, but excess heat must be removed from the system to allow the electronic components to function properly. The response to the need to remove the heat from a computer system has in large part been the use of fans.
In the early days of computer technology, when central processing unit (CPU) speeds were low, a small fan running at a relatively low speed was sufficient to remove excess heat from the computer system. As computer system technology advances and microprocessor speeds increase, more excess heat is generated within a computer system that must be removed. Computer system designers have resorted to increased number of fans, larger fans, and fans having higher speeds. Indeed, given the present state of the art in computer system design, many CPU's have a dedicated fan to thermally cool just the CPU, and the computer system itself has a second fan to cool the remaining components.
As the number of fans and fan speeds has increased, so too has the audible noise associated with these fans. Computer system users are becoming increasingly aware of audible noise associated with their computer system fans. This is especially true of users of desktop computers, which by definition, sit on or near one's desktop, and laptop computers which may be used remotely on battery power. For obvious reasons, it is undesirable for a user to be distracted by fan noise from the computer.
Computer system designers and computer system users of laptops are also acutely aware of battery life for their systems. The larger a fan or the faster a fan runs affects the amount of power drawn from the laptop's battery and therefore the fan itself can significantly diminish battery life for laptop computers. Recently, similar concerns for the general conservation of energy have driven computer system manufacturers to find ways to reduce power consumption in desktop computers as well.
The combination of heightened awareness of audible noise associated with computer fans and concerns for energy conservation have driven manufacturers of computer systems to reduce computer system fan speeds when the thermal load in the computer system so allows. That is, when the volume of airflow needed to cool a computer system is less than the volume of airflow that could be moved by a fan operating at full speed, the computer system fan speed is reduced or is completely shut off. Some computers, therefore, have a somewhat variable fan speed control which may be sensitive to temperature detected by temperature sensors. Reduced fan speed not only decreases computer system power consumption but also reduces audible noise levels associated with the speed of the fan.
While computer systems having a variable speed fan control have addressed to some extent the problems of audible noise and power consumption generally, a new problem arises with changing the speed of a fan. FIG. 1 shows a graph plotting desired fan speed as a function of time. Prior to time t′, the speed of the fan is set at N. At or near time t′, conventional computer system components or software determine that the speed needs to increase to N+3 to shed the computer of excess heat. Having determined that N+3 is the desired speed, such computer systems instantaneously change the fan speed set point from N to the new speed, N+3. Given the increased set point, the computer system fan rapidly changes speed from N to N+3. This change in speed may occur in less than one second. This rapid change in fan speed creates an annoying change in audibly perceptible noise.
Computer system users typically become accustomed to a particular level of background noise, whatever that level happens to be. If the computer system is a desktop having a fan speed set at N, the user may be only subconsciously aware of the background noise associated with the fan. However, it has been found that users become consciously aware of changes in audible noise associated with rapid changes in fan speed. What is needed then is a way to fulfill the goal of having a variable fan speed control that reduces or eliminates the audible annoyance conventional variable speed fans cause.
The problems noted above are solved in large part by a fan control device that slowly adjusts the fan speed from a previous speed of the fan, which constituted a previous thermal balance for the computer system, to a target fan speed, which constitutes a new thermal balance given the current heat load in the computer system.
In the preferred embodiment, a fan controller receives a target fan speed from the CPU over a system management bus. Given the target fan speed, the fan controller adjusts the fan speed output from a previous speed towards the target speed slowly such that the audible signature associated with accelerating or decelerating a fan is minimized and therefore not made perceptible, or at least as perceptible, to the computer system user.
For a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 shows a prior art fan speed set point change;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram representation of a computer system;

Certain terms are used throughout the following description and claims to refer to particular system components. As one skilled in the art will appreciate, computer companies may refer to a component by different names. This document does not intend to distinguish between components that differ in name but not function. In the following discussion and in the claims, the terms "including" and "comprising" are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean "including, but not limited to . . .". Also, the term "couple" or "couples" is intended to mean either an indirect or direct electrical connection. Thus, if a first device couples to a second device, that connection may be through a direct electrical connection, or through an indirect electrical connection via other devices and connections.
Referring now to FIG. 2, computer system 100, in accordance with the preferred embodiment, preferably comprises a processor or CPU 10 coupled to a main memory array 12 through an integrated bridge logic device 14. As depicted in FIG. 2, the bridge logic device 14 is sometimes referred to as a "North bridge," based generally upon its location within a computer system drawing. The CPU 10 preferably couples to the bridge logic 14 via a CPU bus 16, or the bridge logic 14 may be integrated into the CPU 10. The CPU 10 may comprise, for example, a Pentium II® or Pentium III® microprocessor manufactured by Intel®. It should be understood, however, that other alternative types of microprocessors could be employed. Further, an embodiment of computer system 100 may include multiple processors, with each processor coupled through the CPU bus 16 to the bridge logic unit 14.
The main memory array 12 preferably couples to the bridge logic unit 14 through a memory bus 18, and the bridge logic 14 preferably includes a memory control unit (not shown) that controls transactions to the main memory by asserting the necessary control signals during memory accesses. The main memory array may comprise any suitable type of memory, such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM), or any of the various types of DRAM devices.
The North bridge 14 bridges various buses so that data may flow from bus to bus even though these buses may have varying protocols. In the computer system of FIG. 2, the North bridge 14 couples to a primary expansion bus 20, which in the preferred embodiment is a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus. If the chip set of the computer system 100 is implemented using Intel® devices, the primary expansion bus 20 will not be a PCI bus, but rather, will be a "hublink" proprietary bus developed by Intel®. In this case, the South bridge 24 will bridge a PCI bus being a secondary expansion bus, and PCI devices will reside on that secondary expansion bus off the South bridge device. FIG. 2 also shows a PCI device 22 coupled to the primary expansion bus 20. PCI device 22 may be any suitable device such as a modem card or a network interface card (NIC). One skilled in the art will realize that multiple PCI devices may be attached to PCI bus 20, yet for clarity of the figures, only one is shown.
The preferred embodiment further includes a second bridge logic device, a South bridge 24, coupled to the primary expansion bus 20. This South bridge 24 couples, or bridges, the primary expansion bus 20 to other secondary expansion buses. These other secondary expansion buses may include an industry standard architecture (ISA) bus, a sub-ISA, a universal serial bus (USB), and/or any of a variety of other buses that are available or may become available in the future. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the South bridge 24 bridges Basic Input Output System (BIOS) Read Only Memory (ROM) 25 to the primary expansion bus 20, therefore, programs contained in the BIOS ROM 25 are accessible by the CPU 10.
The BIOS ROM 25 contains firmware embedded on a ROM memory chip and performs a number of low-level functions. For example, the BIOS executes the power on self test (POST) during system initialization ("boot-up"). The POST routines test various subsystems in the computer system, isolate faults and report problems to the user. The BIOS also is responsible for loading the operating system into the computer's main system memory. Further, the BIOS handles the low-level input/output transactions to the various peripheral devices such as the hard disk drive and floppy disk drives.
Also shown in FIG. 2 is a fan controller 26 coupled to the CPU 10 via a System Management Bus (SMBus) 28. The fan controller 26 preferably couples to a temperature sensor 30 which preferably is embedded physically in CPU 10 and senses the temperature of the core or die of the CPU. The fan controller reads a voltage from the temperature sensor 30 and calculates a CPU temperature based on that voltage.
FIG. 3 shows a block diagram implementation of the fan controller 26. As explained above, the fan controller 26 communicates with the CPU 10 over the System Management Bus 28. The SMBus 28 is a serial two-way data path wherein the CPU 10, by executing the BIOS, polls the fan controller 26 for the actual CPU die temperature, calculates a new target fan speed based, in part, on the CPU temperature, and then writes the new target fan speed to the target fan speed register 36. Further, on system start up the CPU 10 writes a ramp rate to the ramp logic 38. It will be understood however, that the fan controller 26 will have a default ramp rate and therefore the CPU need not write a new ramp rate to the ramp logic 38 if the default ramp rate is acceptable for use in the particular computer system implementation. The ramp rate for a particular system is determined during the design process and is a function of the size and audible signature of the particular fan used. As a fan's operating speed increases, the frequency of audible noise associated with that fan increases. Therefore, a noisy high pitched fan dictates a slower ramp rate to reduce audible noise perceptibility.
Further, the CPU 10 also preferable writes a speed output value to the speed output register 40. As indicated in FIG. 3, the speed output register couples to the Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) 42 which couples directly or indirectly to the fan 34. Therefore, writing a value to the speed output register 40 has the effect of instantaneously changing the fan speed, within the acceleration limits of the fan, and having the CPU write directly to the speed output register 40 preferably is limited only to boot sequences. Much like the ramp rate contained in the ramp logic 38, the speed output register 40 has a default initial speed and if the default initial speed is acceptable for use in the particular system to minimize audible noise perceptibility, the CPU need not write a different value to the speed output register 40 during a boot sequence.
Fan controller 26 further comprises a CPU temperature logic 44. As the name implies, the CPU temperature logic 44 calculates the CPU die temperature by reading temperature sensor 30 embedded in the CPU (FIG. 2). By reading a voltage created across sensor 30, the CPU temperature logic 44 calculates the die temperature of the CPU 10. More specifically, the CPU temperature logic circuit 44 applies a small current to sensor 30 which is preferably a P-N junction diode. The voltage created across the P-N junction is a function of the current flow and temperature of the junction. As discussed above, the CPU 10 periodically polls the CPU temperature logic circuit 44 over the SMBus 28, and based on the temperature read, determines a desired fan speed. The determination is either by mathematical calculation, or the BIOS program looks up in a look-up table a desired fan speed as a function of the CPU temperature. The mathematical calculation will vary depending on the computer system characteristics (CPU speed, fan speed, thermal loading, air flow characteristics within the chassis). However, the calculated speed preferably is based on, is a mathematical function of, the CPU 10 temperature.
The fan controller 26 has a value stored in the speed output register 40 which is converted by the digital to analog converter 42 to an analog value which is coupled to the fan 34. The CPU 10 polls the CPU temperature logic 44 to determine a temperature of the core of the CPU 10. Based on this CPU temperature, the CPU writes, over the SMBus 28, a target fan speed value to the target fan speed register 36. Ramp logic 38 compares the value stored in the target fan speed register to the value stored in the speed output register and slowly ramps the value of the speed output register, preferably over a matter of seconds until the value of the speed output register 40 and target fan speed register 36 match. The rate at which ramp logic 38 changes the value of the speed of the output register preferably is set such that the change in fan speed is not noticeable or distracting, which distracting feature is the case in conventional computer systems.
The speed output register 40 preferably is an up/down counter 46. This up/down counter 46 contains a value representing a current fan speed set point. Also shown coupled to the SMBus 28 is a ramp rate register 48 which operates as described above. When the CPU 10 writes a new target fan speed value to the target fan speed register 36 over the SMBus 28, compare logic 50 compares the value of the target fan speed register to the value stored in the up/down counter 46. Based on this comparison, compare logic 50 generates control signals that are coupled to the up/down counter 46. The compare logic 50 preferably generates a signal that informs the up/down counter 46 to count either up or down. Further, the compare logic 50 preferably generates a signal indicating to the up/down counter 46 when to start to count. In operation, when a new target fan speed value is written to the target fan speed register 36, the compare logic 50 generates the necessary signals to couple to the up/down counter 46 to start the counter incrementing toward the target fan speed. When the value stored in the up/down counter 46 is equal to the value stored in the target fan speed register 36, compare logic 50 stops the counter and the adjustment is complete.
The up/down counter 46 in this implementation preferably increments the value stored therein by one bit. For example, if the up/down counter 46 has eight bits, there are 256 possible steps before the counter rolls over. This eight bit binary number may be assigned any relevant range of values. Speaking in binary terms, if the target fan speed register contains the binary number 101(decimal 5) and the up/down counter 46 hold a previous value of 011(decimal 3), the compare logic 50 compares these two values and starts the up/down counter 46 counting toward the target fan speed value. In this example, the value in the up/down counter 46 would transition to binary 100 and then to binary 101 whereupon the values between the two registers would equal and the compare logic stops the progression. It will be understood however that the binary numbers may be assigned particular values, e.g. the 256 values in an eight bit system could represent a 0-500 rpm fan speed, in which case, each increment of the eight bit word would represent roughly 2 rpms.
FIG. 4 shows an exemplary change in fan speed output as a result of the preferred embodiment of the invention. In FIG. 4, N represents a previous target fan speed to which the fan has already been adjusted. At some time just prior to time T″, a new target fan speed N+3 is written to the target fan speed register. Rather than immediately changing the fan speed output to be N+3 as is done in conventional systems (see FIG. 1), the fan speed output preferably gradually changes from N to N+3. Given that ramp logic 38 preferably includes an up/down counter 46, this gradual change preferably is up/down counter 46 counting in one bit increments. Therefore, the transition from fan speed N to the target fan speed of N+3 is performed in three steps (N to N+1, N+1 to N+2, N+2 to N+3). For illustrative purposes only, assume the binary value of N is binary 100. The binary value of N+3 is therefore binary 111. Transitioning from N to N+3 then involves up/down counter 46 counting as follows: binary 100 to binary 101; binary 101 to binary 110, binary 110 to binary 111. This transition is done with a rate based value stored in the ramp rate register 48.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, some mechanism must exist to control the rate at which the fan speed output value contained in the up/down counter 46 increments. In this embodiment the rate is controlled by how fast the up/down counter 46 counts. This is preferably accomplished by varying the frequency of the clock applied to the up/down counter 46. FIG. 3 shows a clock logic 52 coupled to division logic 54. Division logic 54 divides the clock frequency by the value contained in the ramp rate register 48. The divided clock signal output of division logic 54 is provided to the up/down counter 46. The clock signal provided from clock logic 52 and applied to the division logic 54 may be either internally generated within the fan controller 26 or may be generated external to the fan controller. As previously described, ramp rate register 48 contains a default ramp value or may be written with a different ramp rate value by the CPU during the system boot sequence. The rate at which the up/down counter 46 counts then is controlled by the amount which the clock frequency from clock logic 52 is divided by the value of the ramp rate register 48.
Referring still to FIG. 3, fan controller 26 further couples to amplifier 32. Amplifier 32 receives the analog signal from the DAC 42 and amplifies and conditions (e.g. filtering) the analog signal as necessary before applying it to fan 34. Fan 34 is preferably a typical computer system fan most commonly having a direct current (DC) motor (not shown) attached to the fan blades. Any suitable fan motor could be used including, but not limited to, a brushless direct current fan motor.
The above discussion is meant to be illustrative of the principles and various embodiments of the present invention. Numerous variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art once the above disclosure is fully appreciated. For example, the preferred embodiment has been directed to a fan controller having an analog or linear output to be coupled to the fan. One of ordinary skill in the art will realize the invention is applicable to any signal applied to a fan. For example, the fan controller 26 could implement a pulse width modulated scheme in which fan speed is a function of pulse width or duty cycle. Further, it may be possible to use an alternating current (AC) motor rather than a DC motor to supply mechanical power to the fan, and in this instance, fan speed is dictated according to the frequency of the AC voltage provided for the motor.
The specification herein has also disclosed that the fan controller reads a value from a temperature sensor with the CPU and uses that value to calculate a CPU internal temperature. This calculated CPU temperature is read by a BIOS program executed by the CPU over the SMBus and a target fan speed is calculated. However, some CPU's such as Xeon® manufactured by Intel® may be capable of reading and calculating their own internal temperatures. If such a CPU is used, the CPU need not poll the fan controller but instead may just write a target fan speed to the fan controller and such would still be within the contemplation of this invention.
Finally, the fan controller as disclosed herein couples to the CPU via the SMBus. However, one of ordinary skill in this art will appreciate that there are other ways to have the fan controller be in communication with the CPU. For example, the fan controller could reside on either of the primary or secondary buses.
It is intended that the following claims be interrupted to embrace all such variations and modifications.

The Mumbai unit of the Congress party Tuesday called for a ban on the song 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' featured in a forthcoming Bollywood movie "Shanghai", saying it hurts patriotic sentiments and degrades India.
In a letter addressed to union Minister for Information & Broadcasting Ambika Soni, Mumbai Congress vice-president Charan Singh Sapra has contended that the content of the entire song is an insult to all countrymen who respect India as their motherland.
Hence it is very likely to inflame the feelings of all Indians, resulting in disharmony, rioting, breach of peace and tranquility within the country, Sapra said.
The song contains controversial words like Sarkari Hathiyaar, Dhandha, Chanda, Dengue, Malaria, Gobar (cowdung), which Sapra alleged are deliberately used to defame the country.
Such defaming language has been used despite the full knowledge that the same shall definitely wound the patriotic feelings and sentiments of the people, besides ridiculing and degrading India in the eyes of the world, he urged.
Sapra has sought an immediate and total ban on the song from being broadcast/telecast in any manner, deleting it from the movie and to fix accountability and initiate action against the concerned censor board officials who cleared the offensive number.
Based on the novel by Vassilis Vassilikos, "Shanghai" is a political thriller directed by D. Banerjee and stars Emraan Hashmi and Abhay Deol and is slated for release this Friday (June 8).

Absolutely I would forgive her. She is great. Although I dont much like her cooking so much I think she is a people person and has done well in her life and should not be a scapegoat for every Southerner and anyone who has made any type of racist remark. Happens every day in this society right or wrong. As well, without naming names, many food celebrities have done "wrong" things. She did not commit any crimes. Let her be. She apologized what more can she do?

RIDGEFIELD, CT, Sept. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Boehringer Ingelheim's investigational tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) BIBF 1120 demonstrated a positive trend in reducing lung function decline in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), according to phase II clinical trial results published today online in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). IPF is a progressive and severely debilitating lung disease with a high mortality rate, for which there are no approved treatments in the United States.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110921/NY71310LOGO)
In the study, known as TOMORROW (To Improve Pulmonary Fibrosis with BIBF 1120), patients treated with 150 mg of BIBF 1120 twice daily demonstrated a 68 percent reduction in the rate of forced vital capacity (FVC) decline compared to placebo. FVC is the volume of air that is expelled into a spirometer following maximum inhalation. FVC, which is a test that measures lung function, is a part of the examinations conducted in IPF patients and is scientifically accepted for assessment of IPF treatment effects. Patients treated with 150 mg of BIBF 1120 twice daily also had a lower incidence of acute exacerbations, defined as sudden deterioration of clinical status, compared with placebo. Acute exacerbations are associated with rapid disease progression, severe abrupt decline in FVC and high mortality.
In addition, treatment with 150 mg of BIBF 1120 twice daily resulted in a small decrease in impairment of quality of life, as measured by the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ). SGRQ scores measure the impact of quality of life, with higher scores – as well as increasing scores – signaling greater impairment. In contrast, increased impairment was reported among patients receiving placebo.
Gastrointestinal symptoms and liver transaminase increases were more freq

Three more players filing lawsuits against Mike Rice, Rutgers?
Feb 4, 2014, 10:06 AM EDT
The number of former players that appear to be taking legal action against Rutgers and former head coach Mike Rice has grown to four.
In December, Derrick Randall, who has since transferred to Pitt, filed a lawsuit against Rice, a former assistant coach and the former Athletics Director, among others, over the mental, emotional and physical abuse he suffered during his time with the Scarlett Knights. Randall, who has learning disabilities, also claimed that Rice and company violated his civil rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
On Tuesday, the Newark Star-Ledger broke the news that three other athletes who played for Rice have taken or plan to taken similar action:
The university released letters from attorneys for Jerome Seagears, who is still on the Scarlet Knights roster, along with former teammates Robert Lumpkins and Dane Miller, who either filed notices of claim in connection with their treatment at the hands of Rice, or letters of representation asking Rutgers to preserve all evidence related to the students.
None of the students has gone to court.
Rice was fired on April 3rd, just days after a video was released of him throwing balls at his players, cursing at them and calling them gay slurs. One of his assistants appeared to challenge some of the players to fight. A number of higher-ups in the athletic department, including Athletics Director Tim Pernetti, lost their jobs as well. They saw the video in December and suspended Rice while fining him.
- knoxxlive - Feb 4, 2014 at 11:26 AM
This is a tragedy and all and shouldn't have happened at all. I express alot of remorse for these player but . . . If you didn't have the balls to file a lawsuit first!

A few months back I posted a critique of my horse's trim, done by a regular farrier. He went lame the day after, and many of you said his hooves didn't look great and that the trim was a bit...er, shoddy.
Anyways, he's just had his 3rd trim by a certified barefoot trimmer, she knows her stuff, this is her website below:
Bright Barefoot Equine | Professional Barefoot Hoof Trimmer
... and I wanted to know what you guys thought.
This is nearly 2 weeks after his last trim. He is trimmed every 4 weeks.
(His pastern looks skewy b/c he's not squared up, he was leaning)
I am aware he has some bruising in his heels, he's not sore and it certainly doesn't stop him wanting to tear around like a looney.
His soles are starting to crack and flake away, which I have been told is a good thing, as he is very flat-footed and this means he is developing some concavity.
If you want I can explain the groove halfway down his hooves, but i'll do it later. It's late and I can no longer be bothered typing, lol.
Thanks guys!

Israel has accepted the Mideast Quartet's proposal to renew peace negotiations with the Palestinians.
The plan accepted Sunday by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his eight senior Cabinet members would restart negotiations within a month, without preconditions.
"Israel welcomes the Quartet's call for direct negotiations between the parties without preconditions, as called for by both President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu," read a statement issued Sunday by the Prime Minister's Office.
"While Israel has some concerns, it will raise them at the appropriate time. Israel calls on the Palestinian Authority to do the same and to enter into direct negotiations without delay," the short statement concluded.
The concerns included the short timetable for negotiations on border and security issues, and the issues of Palestinian refugees and recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, Haaretz reported.
The inner Cabinet met last week for five hours and failed to agree to support the plan at that time.
The Quartet, saying it aimed for a peace agreement by the end of 2012, has urged both sides to refrain from "provocative actions."
At the United Nations on Friday, a Security Council panel on admitting new members to the U.N. met for the first time on the Palestinian membership bid.
It was the beginning of an assessment process that will pit the aid-dependent Palestinians against the United States, which has said it would veto the bid in the Security Council if necessary, and Israel.
Some diplomats have suggested the issue could stay with the membership committee for weeks or months before it is passed back to the Security Council for a vote, giving mediators more time to try to restart peace talks.

I cannot recommend this hotel. I was so ready to get out of there when we checked out. The tables were sticky, the walls were stained with red and brown, the shower curtain and the shower walls were moldy, there was hair in the corner of the bathroom, there was no bathtub, only a shower, my baby's feet turned brown from walking on the floors, the toilet was stained, the ice machine was broken, the air conditioning didn't work and the only window was so tiny it didn't help cool things at all. The comforters on the beds were old. I shared my concerns about the room, but the front desk help did not seem to think anything more than a quick sorry was needed. His response was, "Sorry to hear that. Sounds like it was a rough stay." That was it. I would have hoped for a "We will look into this. Thanks for the feedback, we wouldn't want this to happen again." Nothing. I have no hope it will change, and thus, I will not go back. ...

This hotel was not great! We were told breakfast went until ten when we showed up at 9:15 with our two kids they said sorry it closed at 9 and gave us a yogurt. They were also out of coffee and we were not the only ones asking for some! It is not a hotel it is in fact a MOTEL. The pool was freezing even for July in Montana and the hot tub was broken! We go to Missoula 6-8 times a year to take our son to the doctor! We always spend the night in a hotel but I can assure you I will not be going back to this motel. I would like to say the room was clean and the housekeepers were very friendly. ...

"I have owned three Hondas, this being the third. The other two were a 1993 Accord LX and 2005 Civic VP. I still have the 05 Civic and miss the 93 Accord often. This is a 2002 Accord EX manual transmission with leather. I bought it used over a year ago with 102,000. Now it has 126,000 and it runs great and has had no problems. I usually put tons of work miles on, but I only had to replace brake pads and turn the rotors 6 months ago, otherwise only O&F. Starts in extreme cold easily (I live in Maine) & warms up quick. The only things I wish it had were heated seats and a little more spunk in the engine. I plan to keep this car for as long as it runs!"

"If you are looking for a car around $5k this is the choice for ya. I have had my Accord for 11 years and have NEVER been broken down.. EVER!! I have owned several semi luxary cars ( RX8 2004 HORRIBLE!!) and a 2003 Jaguar both of which very expensive to fix, and I lost much more money on the resales. A lot of censors or ECM probs with the Jag and complete engine failure on the Mazda twice!!... but the Honda.... NOPE.. Keep the oil changed and gas in it and your good to go. For an everyday driver this car beats em all out with style, comfort, and affordable parts ( brakes, air filter ect. ) I paid 11k for the car over 10yrs ago and am selling it now for 5k.... so name any other car that you can put 100k miles on it over ten years and it only drops 5k in value... what a steal!! I would recommend this car to ANYONE and wont be worried about an unsatisfied buyer b/c I know you could jump in this car and drive accross the country with no problems... I know I have done it!!... So all in all I would give this car 2 thumbs up and an excellent rating. Thanks, Beth"

COVINGTON - The Newton County Home Builders Association recently hosted its third annual Scholarship Sporting Clay Shoot at Burge Plantation.The HBA uses the funds earned from this event to give scholarships to graduating seniors from Newton, Eastside and Alcovy high schools, as well as students of the HBA's members. The HBA also contributes $500 to their two Partners in Education, Livingston Elementary and Oak Hill Elementary, to purchase library books. In 2007, the HBA assisted the efforts of Newton READS and The Learning Center by donating $500 to each of those organizations. The Newton County HBA began awarding $500 scholarships to college bound seniors in 1996. In the past 12 years the HBA has given more than $26,000 to high school students, their Partners in Education and other community groups. In 2005, the HBA chose to host a sporting clay shoot to raise funds for their scholarship efforts. For more information on the HBA's scholarship, call the HBA at 770-786-3333.

It's been raining for what feels like two weeks straight. That meant a wet ten mile training run last weekend. I know I should not complain with all that is happening in the world but really, just a quick break would be nice. Truthfully, that break is coming soon as the forecast is calling for sunshine next week and the hills are so incredibly green right now. I just need to hang on a few more days.
What I have found interesting is that one of the most common phrase I've heard over the last few days, regardless of who is speaking is: "I need the sunshine! I need some Vitamin D!" Virtually everyone is aware of Vitamin D. With its recent popularity in the media, recent changes made to the recommended daily allowance, and more and more research attempting to tie deficiencies to everything from Autism to Cancer, Vitamin D has become a popular topic. But how much do you really know about Vitamin D?
The Background: Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because of the body's ability to produce the active form from the sun. Your skin reacts with UVB rays to synthesize Vitamin D3. However, different skin pigments, distance from the equator, age, sunscreen use and amount of time spent in the sun can all effect the amount of Vitamin D you actually synthesize.
Why is Vitamin D Important?: Vitamin D and Calcium are best friends and both are necessary for bone health. Calcium needs Vitamin D for proper absorption. Adequate levels of Vitamin D actually improve the absorption of calcium in the gut and help to improve bone mineral density. The fortification of such food products as eggs and milk was established as a response to rises in Vitamin D deficiencies in the US population as even though we can make Vitamin D many of us are still deficient!
Many other potential benefits to Vitamin D have or are currently being studied including a relationship between deficiencies and risks for some cancers, immunity and autoimmune diseases, autism, heart disease, fatigue, diabetes, and muscle strength. Receptors for Vitamin D have been found in over 30 organs including bone, intestine, kidney, lung, muscle, and skin. This makes nutrition scientists question the high levels of deficiency in the US and the effect it may have all over the body. Results are mixed but still being actively investigated.
How much do I need?: In 2010 new Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) were released for Vitamin D. As results are still mixed about all the potential roles Vitamin D plays in the body, these recommendations were justified based on "a strong body of evidence from rigorous testing (about the) importance of vitamin D and calcium in promoting bone growth and maintenance." You can read the IOM brief and details about the DRI's by clicking here .
The Vitamin D RDA for healthy people aged 1 – 70 is 600 IU/day. The RDA increases to 800 IU/day for adults older than 70.
Food Sources of Vitamin D: As many of us (even in California) are not spending nearly enough time in the sun during the late fall to spring months, additional sources of Vitamin D becomes necessary. Dietary Vitamin D is primarily found in animal-based foods like saltwater fish and foods that have been fortified such as milk and eggs. For example, an ideal Vitamin D rich breakfast might include:
This can provide you with almost 1/3 of your daily need for Vitamin D. Just make sure to include the egg yolk as it is the part of the egg that has been fortified. Yes I know yolks have been given a bad rap but there are all kinds of important vitamins and minerals (in addition to Vitamin D) that are found only in the yolk.
If you believe you may be Vitamin D deficient, or even if you aren't sure, getting your levels checked at your next check-up is always a good idea. You may be surprised at your results. And while supplementation may be necessary for some, I always promote getting your vitamins straight from the source whenever possible.
Question: Where do you get your sources of Vitamin D? Have you ever had your Vitamin D levels tested?
