Goldie: A fun, loving, outgoing person. Always cheerful and there for you when you need her the most. A "typical" Goldie usually has blonde hair. She changes it often though. She's also well-noted for being spontaneous and random. A Goldie is a good friend that you will never want to lose. She's an amazing person inside and out. She's also a very beautiful woman. To have and know a Goldie is a treasure best kept. Also, she has some bomb ass pussy.

Person 2: Oh, its Goldie
Person 1: She's gorgeous, I wish I looked like her
Person 2: I wish that too.

Preparatory and Continuing Education
Offerings | Application | Division News
Since our founding in 1920, the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM) has offered inspired teaching by creative faculty. In addition to the University Circle Main Campus, the Preparatory and Continuing Education Division has four branches, located in communities throughout northeast Ohio. A quality music education is closer than you think!
CIM strives to be an outlet for creative musical endeavors, and our doors are open to amateur and professional musicians alike. We believe that the skills learned during the course of music study, whatever the age, enhance the quality of life and nurture the human spirit.
As one of only eight independent music conservatories remaining in the US, the Cleveland Institute of Music provides a wealth of musical experiences. Inspiration can be drawn from over 500 orchestral and chamber concerts, staged operas, and faculty recitals of the highest caliber, most of which are free of charge. All CIM students have access to the abundant educational resources located in the beautiful Robinson Music Library.
Lessons and programs for students of all ages and skill levels include:
- Eurhythmics: Classes available for ages 3-18. Eurhythmics provides an introduction to the basic elements of music through movement and sound.
- Private vocal and instrumental instruction: Private lessons offer the opportunity to work one-on-one with a member of CIM's renowned faculty. Lesson days and times vary by branch.
- Suzuki Studies: Developed by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki, this method teaches music similar to the way language is learned in early childhood through listening, imitation, repetition and encouragement.
- Musicianship: Music theory / ear-training lessons and classes taken in conjunction with private lesson instruction, enriches and enhances skills needed for a complete musical education.
- Ensembles: Chamber Music, Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony and String Orchestras provide participation opportunities for young musicians throughout Northeast Ohio whether or not they study privately at CIM.
- Programs
Junior Young Artist Program: A program providing instruction in the fundamental components of a thorough music education for serious music students (grades 7-10).
Young Artists Program: A rigorous course of music study combined with an equally demanding academic program that provides a solid foundation for highly gifted music students (grades 11-12).
Certificate Program: A program geared towards the serious music student seeking to strengthen their musical foundations. The program's core curriculum is made up of components' designed to enrich and develop a well-rounded musician.
Application & Enrollment
We are now accepting applications from ages 3 through adult, for lessons in piano, voice, percussion, string and wind instruments, theory and composition. Other offerings include Eurhythmics and Theory classes, Chamber Music, Cleveland Youth Wind Symphony and String Orchestras.
Submitting an application does not guarantee placement, as classes and lessons are limited to availability.

PIPPA PASSES - The Alice Lloyd College men's basketball team dropped a home game to a KIAC (Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) foe on Saturday, falling to Cincinnati Christian University at the Grady Nutt Athletic Center. CCU pulled away to defeat the Eagles 79-72.
Despite eventually suffering the loss, Alice Lloyd played well against CCU, a team that pushed NCAA Division I member Radford University to overtime in a game recently.
Visiting Cincinnati Christian owned a commanding 17-point lead 10 minutes into the game on Saturday. Alice Lloyd, however, managed to battle back. Cincinnati Christian only led 34-28 at halftime.
The visiting team from Cincinnati pushed its lead back out to double figures in the second half. But Alice Lloyd remained competitive prior to falling short late in the conference matchup.
Guard DJ McCommons paced CCU (7-6 overall, 2-1 in the KIAC) with 22 points.
For ALC (8-11; 1-5 KIAC), Tyler Rogers led the way with 18 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. Isaac Wilson and Stuart Stamper followed, adding 14 points apiece for the Eagles. Terry Muse contributed nine points, 14 rebounds and three blocks for Alice Lloyd in the loss.
Alice Lloyd is scheduled to play St. Louis College of Pharmacy on Friday night. Tip-off for the Alice Lloyd-SLCOP men's basketball game is set for 7:30 p.m.

text: Education, economic development, along with health, safety and wellness were big issues addressed by lawmakers during the 2013 Legislative and Special session of the West Virginias 81st Legislature, according to Ron Stollings, who represents the 7th Senatorial District.Certainly the major highlight of the session was Governor Earl Ray Tomblins education reform bill, Stollings said. Senate Bill 325 gives more local control to schools and local boards of education, makes sure students receive 180 instructional days, has new recommendations for teacher hiring, the development of a county school calendar that must include at least two public meetings and looks at the possibility of year-round school.The bill will provide teachers with specialized training to increase the number of third-graders who end the year reading at grade level, Stollings said. It also ensures that full-day pre-kindergarten programs will be available to all four year olds statewide.Stollings said education still begins at home.We must get more parental involvement, Stollings said. This is the first step on behalf of the governor to try to address student achievement.There were 1,829 bills introduced and 215 passed.Stollings said the Legislature addressed the states drug abuse epidemic with bills that would get rid of pills mills and better treat chronic non-malignant pain.These pills are very addictive, he said. We have learned that even people with pain can end up addicted.Senate Bill 108 creates the Unintentional Pharmaceutical Drug Overdose Facility Review Team to be located in the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.The team will help determine the cause of death and track the drugs which caused the death, said Stollings.Stollings said Senate Bill 22, which he was the lead sponsor, provides maternity coverage for dependents of state employees.If a teenage daughter of a state worker became pregnant prenatal coverage was not provided by PEIA, Stollings explained. A teenage pregnancy by definition is at at-risk pregnancy, but without prenatal care it becomes even more high risk.Beginning July 1, 2013, any health insurance plan that includes maternity benefits, must include coverage for the same maternity benefits for all individuals, including dependent daughters, participating in or receiving coverage under the plan.Stollings said the Complete Streets bill encourages the state Department of Highways to use best practices for design of streets to accommodate pedestrians, bicycles, transit units and commuters.This can be are real wellness piece of legislation by making more walkable communities, he said.Stollings said another important bill deals with prison reform and prison overcrowding.It will cut down on recidivism rates for repeat offenders, he said. This reform bill has an educational component, a counseling component and drug testing. It enhances post-prison supervision programs for non-violent offenders.It is estimated that the programs will save the state $18 million next year and up to $168 million in five years, according to Stollings, and is also expected to halt prison growth rates, but not reduce current populations.Other bills addressed puppy mills, Internet sales taxes, body armor for law enforcement officers, pipeline safety, public financing of Supreme Court elections, making not wearing a seat belt in a motor vehicle a primary offense and many others.Are real important bill that came out of Mingo County was the Grand Jury Secrecy Bill, which makes it a crime for a person sitting on a grand jury, or those involved in the case as employee of the court, to disclose the identity of an individual who will be indicted, Stollings explained. What was going on before is that people sitting on a grand jury were telling people they might be indicted and they would take off and flee out of town.Stollings, a Democrat from Boone County, as Overall I thought it was a good session, he said. I think we are understanding how society, education, truancy, poverty, drop-outs, substance abuse and prison costs and how they all tie in together. The only way to really impact these things are to educate parents, children, communities and basically everyone to make things better for all of us.Stollings, who is co-chair of the state Senates Health Committee, said it will be looking at the state run behavioral health facilities, feasibility and necessity of medical marijuana, continuing a study on immunizations regarding children, and expansion of Medicaid during interim sessions leading up to next years 82nd Legislature.Stollings said an oversight committee will study the authority of structure of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources.We are going to look at updating and modernizing the departments statues, he said. Discussing and implementing the public works health audit, along with the possible expansion of Medicaid in West Virginia. Expanding Medicaid would provide access to 130,000 West Virginians who before has not had access and instead go to emergency rooms and put off preventative care. Stollings is on the state Senates Rules Committee, Finance Committee, Education Committee, Health & Human Resources Committee and Energy Industry and Mining Committee.What I have tried to do with the downturn in the coal industry and the state seeking how important the coal severance tax money is to the state budget, is emphasize the need to invest in infrastructure, including water, sewer, roads and bridges in southern West Virginia in order for us to diversify our economy. This is important for Boone, Logan, Lincoln, Wayne and Mingo counties.Stollings said Mingo County continues to lead the way in post-mine land use.They have built a highway, an airport runway and housing all developed as post-mine land use, he said. We can do this in the other coalfield counties as well, but it takes investing in infrastructure and economic diversification. The sky is the limit. We are still pro-coal, but we cant be totally dependent on the coal industry. We need to diversify our economies and Im optimistic about our future and become visionary.Stollings (D-Boone) and he have a great working relationship with fellow 7th Senatorial District Senator Art Kirkendoll (D-Logan).Art and I will continue to work to make sure the 7th Senatorial District continues to have the best possible chances in obtaining funding and grants for needed projects, he said.In Lincoln County, Stollings and Kirkendoll were able to get the state Senate to pass a feasibility study for a state park around the Upper Mud River Wildlife Management Area.Before it didnt stand much of a chance because the scope of the project was a little too small, Stollings explained. The concept we have now includes the Ivy Connector of the Hatfield-McCoy Trail System into Water Ways Park, which will allow us to include that entire area in the making of a state park. Getting the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources to now look at this bigger scope of this proposal is the first step.Another Lincoln County piece of legislation allows the county to use some courthouse facilities funding to upgrade a church near the courthouse campus for drug court activities.Before this bill passed they were not able to do it, Stollings said. Now they will be allowed to use funding for off-site activities as long as they are courthouse functions.For more news and information about the West Virginia Legislature, visit its online Facebook site at https://www.facebook.com/wvlegislature

Two Former CSI MBB players selected in 2013 NBA DraftJuly 1, 2013
TWIN FALLS - They played together at the College of Southern Idaho in 2009-2010 and now they are connected for another reason. Former Eagles Carrick Felix and Pierre Jackson were selected in the second round of the 2013 NBA Draft on Thursday.
Felix, who red-shirted for CSI in 2008-2009 with an injury and played the following year, was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers with the 33rd overall pick. Jackson, the NJCAA Player of Year in 2011 and a key player in CSI's third NJCAA National Championship, was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 42nd pick.
Jackson will likely end up with the New Orleans Pelicans as it was reported that the 76ers traded Jackson and Jrue Holiday for Center Nerlens Noel and a 2014 protected first-round pick.
Prior to Felix and Jackson, former CSI players Ron Behagen, Tim Bassett, Ricky Sobers, Ed Gray and Kim Goetz were all selected in the NBA draft. Only Behagen, Gray and Sobers were first round selections.
Felix averaged 14.8 points and 4.7 rebounds per game for the Golden Eagles in 2009-2010, helping CSI to a 20-12 overall record. Instead of returning the next season, Felix became the first junior college player to sign at Duke University. He later asked for and was granted a release and went back to his home state of Arizona to play for Arizona State, where he averaged 14.6 points and 8.1 rebounds his senior season, earning all-defensive Pac-12 honors.
Jackson led the Eagles his sophomore season with 18.6 points and 4.4 assists per game in leading CSI to a national championship. Along the way, he garnered Region 18 Player of the Year honors, NJCAA National Player of the Year honors and NJCAA National Tournament MVP honors.
From CSI, Jackson finished his collegiate career at Baylor University, leading the Bears to the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight his junior season and the NIT Championship is senior season. At Baylor, Jackson was second-team all-Big 12 twice as well as AP honorable mention All-American in 2013.

I must say that it was a lot of fun and the Rattan folks did a good job putting it together. There were quite a few spectators along the parade route. The parade route being one end of town to the other. Church of Christ to the Baptist Church.
The parade itself consisted of fire trucks, electric utility trucks, 4-wheelers, golf carts, pickup trucks, tractors, trailers, horses and riders and a bright yellow 3 wheeled motorcycle. American flags all around. How cool is that?!
All I know to say is, "Thank God I'm a country boy and can appreciate something like that." I hope you can say the same. Unless of course your a country girl.
As many readers may have figured out by now, I am big on people exercising their right to vote. One thing I hear a lot is how one person's vote can cancel out another person's vote. If your someone who looks at tit that way consider this. Your vote goes into a pile with a bunch of other people who feel the same way. If your vote is in the biggest pile you win. If you look at it that way no one can ever cancel out your vote!

Last Wednesday was Christmas Day, and so much has changed since last December, when my family gathered in DeLand to celebrate the birth of Bethlehem's Baby.
The Dickson family has always embraced and looked to the hope and joy the birth of the Christ child represents. I'm sure there will be a little less joy and a few tears around the table today. There was an empty chair at the table and a little less laughter as we had our first Christmas without my dad, who, as most of you know, passed away earlier this year.
But in the Christ child we have the hope that our separation is only temporary and that we will again be reunited with those we love.
So many memories of a lifetime of Christmases come pouring back as I write this column.
I think of the sacrifices my parents made working extra hours and denying things for themselves so that we kids could get many of the gifts we wanted.
Many of my Christmases were filled with gifts I could use in my athletic endeavors. Somewhere in an old photo album there's a picture of me at the age 4 with a football under my arm, standing next to an inflatable Popeye punching bag.
Through the years there were more footballs and football equipment as well as basketballs, tennis rackets, and even a ping pong table and a BB gun.
And, no, I didn't shoot my eye out, but I did manage to put a hole in the kitchen window that first long ago Christmas morning.
I have no BB guns, footballs or ping pong tables to give our local coaches and players. But, if I had the magic of giving certain gifts, I have a list of things I'd like to pass along to those players and coaches that are such a vital part of my job.
My first gift would go to the Crestview football team. I would give the Bulldogs another win over Niceville in 2014.
Along with the win over the Eagles, I would give Bulldog football coach Tim Hatten and his crew a District 1-7A championship and a long run into the playoffs next fall.
I also would give Hatten a long and productive stay with the Bulldogs.
My next gift would go to Baker football coach Matt Brunson and his Gator team. And I also would give the Gators a championship.
For Crestview volleyball coach and girls basketball coach Kathy Combest, I would give a little patience to deal with dreadfully young teams.
I would give first-year Bulldog boys basketball coach Greg Watson a strong showing in a tough district this year.
I would give Crestview basketball star Ronnie Baylark the college of his dreams, where he could continue his playing career.
I would give former Crestview High School baseball star Dakota Dean, who is now a freshman at Louisiana State, all the success his older brother, Blake, had while playing for the Tigers.
I would give former Baker basketball star Chad Donley and his Liberty University teammates another opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament.
If I could, I would give former Laurel Hill basketball star Jeff Reese a healthy heart so he could again play the game he loves. I would give Jeff's older brother, Brad, continued success playing basketball in Europe. I really would love to give Brad the gift of playing in the National Basketball Association.
Legend has it that Santa's gift bag is bottomless so he doesn't have to worry about running out of space as he takes gifts to little boys and girls around the world.
Since I'm not Santa, and my space is limited, I only have a couple of more gifts I would like to give.
I would give the gift of love to all the athletes, coaches and fans that make this job such a pleasure. I would also give shared memories to last a lifetime with special teammates and those you love.
Finally, I would give us all the gift of peace on earth and good will to men that the angels outside of Bethlehem proclaimed 2,000 years ago.
Merry Christmas.

When Mingo County voters go to the poll March 23, one of the issues they will be voting on is whether to continue an excess levy that has been provided funding to Mingo Schools for almost 50 years.
The Daily News sat down with Mingo BOE Superintendent Randy Keathley to discuss the levy, and what the funds are used for.
Keathley said the Board put together a steering committee which created a plan on how best to use the funds from the levy, which would provide $8,843,894 per year for five years.
"Our steering committee was made up of teachers, service personnel, citizens, principals, Board members and people from groups that represent educational professionals, such as the American Federation of Teachers, the West Virginia Education Association the W. Va. School Service Personnel Association," Keathley said.
Keathley said the steering committee agreed that their first priority in choosing how best to use the levy funds was to stay student-focused, Keathley said.
The largest single expenditure is $2,648,211 planned for support for professional personnel. The money is for salary supplements for personnel, directors, principals and teaching personnel, based on the academic degrees and honors they hold.
Another large amount of levy funds is support for service personnel. The steering committee decided to set aside $1,801,910 for salary supplements for school service personnel such as secretaries, teachers aides and bus drivers.
The committee tagged $1,052,579 so Mingo schools can continue to provide free textbooks and instructional equipment to students.
"All our high school students are provided with a laptop computer," Keathley said. "That is part of this expenditure. It also provides other technical equipment for classrooms, such as smartboards and projectors, so our schools can stay current."
Keathley said Mingo schools hope to expand the laptop program to include eighth grade students.
If passed, the levy will provide support for athletic and extracurricular activities. Money for coaches for sports that have not traditionally been in Mingo County schools, such as cross country track, tennis and swimming. It will also provide money for coaches in middle schools, Keathley said.
"If there is enough interest, we would have the money to pay for coaches for sports that have never been in middle schools, like baseball, and softball," he said.
Keathley said sports is a way to keep students interested in school.
"We want to provide opportunities for kids to stay actively engaged," he said.
He said the county's two high schools, Mingo Central and Tug Valley, worked together to find a formula to divide athletic funding.
The schools agreed to a base allocation of $12,000 each, and then to split an additional $26,000, based on how many students participate in athletics.
Levy funds will be used to support technical and career programs. More than $138,000 will help expand the Pro-Start program, which prepares student for a career in culinary arts and restaurant management, the health field such as nurses and respiratory therapists, business classes and vocational agricultural careers.
Other items the steering committee allocated funds to include support for school repairs, public and school libraries, health services, band and choral activities, and security and prevention resource officers at schools.
If there funds from the levy that are not spent during the school year, such as money put aside for a sport in which students do not express an interest, that money will carry over into the next school year, Keathley explained.
Although the levy would provide a huge financial benefit to schools, it would not increase taxes, as it is simply a continuation of the levy that has been in place since 1964.

Qualcomm executive dismisses 64-bit A7 as a "marketing gimmick"
A Qualcomm executive has claimed that Apple's 64-bit A7 processor is a marketing ploy. Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Qualcomm, claims that there is no benefit to consumers from the processor being 64-bit. This is because the iPhone 5s only has 1GB of DRAM, a smaller amount that would necessitate a 64-bit processor, according to Techworld:
"Predominantly... you need it for memory addressability beyond 4GB. That's it. You don't really need it for performance, and the kinds of applications that 64-bit get used in mostly are large, server-class applications," said Chandrasekher, who previously ran Intel's mobile platforms group.
Chandrasekher's comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Qualcomm supplies the processors for hundreds of devices running Android and Windows phone, and it sounds like they won't be producing a 64-bit chip just yet. They have a vested interest in downplaying the importance of the A7. On the other hand, apps like djay 2 and vjay have been updated with faster audio analysis, precision key detection and key matching, and a host of HD video playback and recording improvements, all of which have been attributed to the A7's 64-bit processing.
Mike Ash analyzed the A7 and found that the reality landed somewhere in the middle. There are some significant gains that come from the A7's 64-bit processing, but it's not exactly a revolutionary step forward.
Consider as well that Apple rarely, if ever, markets on specs. There aren't any ads about the A7 chip. And there were never any ads for the A6, or A5, or A4, either. During their event last month, Apple said 64-bit, talked a little bit about performance and the secure enclave for Touch ID, and that's it. Most consumers ultimately don't care about specs. They don't care about the name of the chip or the fact that it's 64-bit. If Apple could get the iPhone 5s to run on a Dorito, consumers still wouldn't care. They just want their stuff to work.

Qualcomm executive dismisses 64-bit A7 as a "marketing gimmick"
So because Apple had Samsung and others build a chip that has few benefits currently....that's innovative?
This executive at Qualcomm is right: Right now, the 64bit talk is all for marketing.
I'm sure Apple will put this tech to use over the course of next year, maybe with their iPads or something. As of right now though...it's nothing but fluff to give Apple fans to crow about.
Sorta like how Android fans crow about their phone specs...
Well here's some reading for you about 64-bit processors. (http://www.mikeash.com/pyblog/friday-qa-2013-09-27-arm64-and-you.html) And by the way it does more than address 4GB or more of RAM which anyone who knows anything about 64-bit architecture will tell you.
Yes, it is innovation. Look up the definition. I'm not sure where everyone gets this redefining words or ignoring clearly defined words when ever it suits them; it seems to run rampant on the Internet. You don't get to move the goal posts.
64-bit computing is no gimmick. Obviously. We have it now and it have changed what and how we do things on computers. Today it may be only utilized in a minor way but build it and they will come. If no one puts 64bit into a phone, then no one will ever have it. If no one ever has access to it then no one can ever utilize it. If someone puts it into a phone, someone will INNOVATE further and take advantage of it.
@adriangalli nice try to justify innovate :)
So, if the 64-bit is only talk, can somebody please explain to me how come the iPhone 5S (which is clocked at 1.3ghz) is 2X faster than the 5 (1.2ghz)? oh! and faster than a S4 and LG G2. By the way the LG G2 has a quad core 2.2ghz with 2gb of RAM. It seems like the 64-bit can do more than just market a phone.
I can explain this easily enough. It's little to do with the jump to 64 bit and more that fact that the A7 SoC is a jump from the ARMv7 architecture to ARMv8 which is quite a bit better and more efficient than the ARMv7 architecture. You will see this jump on android next year as well. (likely qualcomm has something in the works themselves) an architecture jump plus a speed bump of 100 mhz can make quite a difference. Look at a 2.8 ghz core2quad processor vs a haswell quadcore i5 at 2.8 the haswell will likely smoke it because of architecture changes even at the same speed.
64-bit affects two things, 64-bit arithmetic and addressing a memory space larger than 4GB. Those are the ONLY two things that are made more efficient with a 64-bit architecture. Everything else is effected by the basic architecture of the chip design itself. Register numbers (not the same as size), pathway bandwidth, component locations, etc.
Not quite. 64 bit architecture also allows for a 64 bit instruction set, which can allow a CPU to get things done more quickly because for some instructions, the 64 bit version lets the CPU do everything in one cycle, where 32 bit would require additional cycles for the CPU to fetch the additional data.
That is why some computers were using 64 bit CPUs WAY before any of them had more than 4GB of RAM.
Currently, the A7's largest benefit is that it uses and entirely new instruction set. The 64 bit architecture is an improvement that will be more and more evident over the years.
Given that Apple has a dual core chip that sips power and at the same time blows away Samsung's octo-core phones in speed sure as heck is innovative.
While the droid phones push specks without any forethought the way Intel pushed the Precott to 4 GHz, Apple is making chips that are both faster and more efficient.
That is one great "marketing gimmick".
This is actually harder to say if they are "faster and more efficient" chips OR the result of an OS that is predominately only optimized for a few hardware platforms at all. They aren't having to support a bunch of different platforms and it has been seen that iOS 7 has been lagging for a lot of people once "multitasking" was added into the mix. And can we please stop calling samsung's processor octo-core it is not at all though the upcoming exynos 5 that they are doing can actually make use of the cores diff but still not really the same thing. Anyways the jump up to ARMv8 gives apple a good edge at least til samsung, qualcomm, nvidia etc release their ARMv8 based chips next year and android too utilizes 64 bit (it is already fully capable of running either by design) So while i applaud them for having the first ARMv8 chip in a product the 64 bit as is is somewhat gimmicky and unecessary right now but that leap to ARMv8 should of been the focus really not the 64 bit.
Now back to what i was saying unless we see an iphone running android better than a nexus phone released around the same time (nexus 5) it is hard to place it soley on hardware design and not more software/OS optimizations. You keep in mind that Apple optimizes the crap out of iOS and lesser hardware on optimized software can do a lot more. Android's problem as it were is that most of the OEM's are rather lackadaisical in optimization like... AT ALL. Motorola optimized the Moto X and it runs really really well with the dual core processor inside of it (from qualcomm)
It's more than just OEMs bring lackadaisical. Android itself is slow and clunky requiring the beefiest of hardware to make it run smooth. No matter what OEMs do they can't change that. Google would have to scrap the current Android OS and actually start again from scratch like what Microsoft has did to go from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone but I don't see that happening since they bought this OS in the first place.
If Apple were making huge claims about 64 bit being the end-all and be-all then I would say it was mostly marketing gimmick. Really though they haven't made a huge deal of it. It is mentioned but not the selling point for the phone.
I agree with a lot of the other posts and feel that right now there isn't a lot of benefit to 64 bit, some, just not a lot. However, with tech companies, upgrades like this are usually part of a larger plan for the future.
Innovated 64bit? Do you know what you are talking about? 64bit processing has been going on for ages
Not in mobile it hasn't.
That depends on what you want to exclude from mobile.
But if you want to increase the DRAM on the iPhone 9x beyone 4GB, then you want a 64-bit processor that you have working reliably in the real world. Doesn't it make sense in an ever increasing world where we demand more space and faster apps and .....
Incremental growth in an industry where lots of people buy the latest gadget. Today 64-bit processor tomorrow 4GB DRAM and within 2 years ???
But the iPhone 5 Only got 1GB of ram.
Yes, but in the tech world, I was taught not to try and upgrade everything at once. It becomes much harder to troubleshoot issues. Put in 64-bit processor now, go up to 2 or 3 GB of DRAM in the next generation iPhone, then move into 4 + GB beyond that. Hence my comment on the "iPhone 9x" by the time they get some real heavy duty internals (which they will need to run the heavy duty apps!).
"Consider as well that Apple rarely, if ever, markets on specs. There aren't any ads about the A7 chip."
Normally it's true, but not for the 5s and the A7. All one has to do is compare the pages for;
5S: http://www.apple.com/iphone-5s/features/
5C: http://www.apple.com/iphone-5c/features/
Apple is more about marketing the specs the days.
While they are talking more about specs, feature lists on their own website is not marketing in the same way as if it were in a commercial. It's merely a list of specs that's no different from what any other manufacturer does. The old Verizon Droid commercials for example heavily touted the internal specs of the device which most people don't even pay attention to. Apple's commercials mention nothing about internal specs of the iPhone.
This is a childish and unprofessional remark for Qualcomm who also have Apple as a customer. Just dumb.
There is a kernel of truth here, in that, for the current generation, the advantages are very small, such that most consumers will not notice them. Because they are small, Qualcomm decries this as a gimmick. But they are not non-existent, so Apple emphasizes it out of proportion to how much customers will benefit (or notice). That's marketing 101, on both sides.
However, by switching now, even when the benefits are small, Apple is very smartly setting themselves up for a long game. The most oft-cited benefit of 64bit is the ability to address more RAM. With a 1GB iPhone 5, that is irrelevant, but, at Apple's current pace, the iPhone will have 4GB in 2 years, or 3 at the most. The timing is no coincidence -- when memory benefits become significant, not only will internal and external developers will have had two years of working on this architecture, but the iPhone 5s will be the bargain-basement, free-on-contract model. On that day, every iOS device for sale -- and almost every one still in active use -- will be 64-bit, allowing Apple to make a clean software break at just the right time.
So, if the 64-bit is only talk, can somebody please explain to me how come the iPhone 5S (which is clocked at 1.3ghz) is 2X faster than the 5 (1.2ghz)? oh! and faster than a S4 and LG G2. By the way the LG G2 has a quad core 2.2ghz with 2gb of RAM. It seems like the 64-bit can do more than just market a phone.
The 64 bit chip does help improve battery life amongst other things that you take for granted. It is one of the things you just don't think will do much, but play with your video editing in 32 bit over 64 bit and see how long it takes to do it.
The statements by the Qualcomm Executive clearly indicates that THEY as a chip maker had not even anticipated having a 64 bit processor market yet and it really worries them. Not because of Apple but Samsung, who already produce their own chip designs and utilize them in many of their devices may take this chance to develop their own 64 bit processors and use them universally rather than just in some of their devices and even sell them other device makers cutting Qualcomm's market share.
In fact I can bet that they are nowhere near having a 64 bit processor and now they are in a position that they have device makers starting to look at developing 64 bit devices and asking about the status of such a processor and them not having anything to offer.
Maybe Apple should move away from the current Qualcomm LTE baseband they use on the iPhone.
Clearly Qualcomm is run by idiots and worse, have little respect for their customers.
It's uncanny how Apple attracts these companies who are quick to take their cash but then go on to publicly throw mud at their work.
iPhone 5s performs well and that's what everybody needs on a phone. It's as simple as that.
Sent from the iMore App
Lot of flagship phones on other platforms also perform well for most people's needs. That's besides the point.
So, I take it from Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Qualcomm, that Qualcomm are not planning 64-bit mobile chips for Android devices in 2014 and beyond?!? Get off your high-horse. Why the rattle throwing? Apple got there before you, did they? Boo-hoo.
I am no expert so I won't chime in on how much or little of an effect the 64-bit chip has. Just like the article says, Apple isn't using the fact that the 5S has this chip in their marketing. They market the fact that the iPhone works and people love using their iPhones. The experience is top notch. I don't recall ever seeing a commercial where Apple touted the innards of the phone. If Qualcomm had a 64-bit chip and it was being used in the latest Android phone this would have never been said. This article really addressed the comment very well, IMO.
It's no secret that 64-bit processors will become prevelant in mobile over the next year. The next Intel Atoms for tablets will also be 64-bit. Qualcomm surely knows this and has their own in the works.
He has a point. I don't need 64-bit in mobile. Heck, personally, I don't even need it on my PC. But this is the kind of thing that eventually drives progress forward. And really probably necessary if they want to continue to justify current premium smartphone prices.
No Doritos for me thanks, but could they try Organic tortilla or potato? Mmmm.

One of the most significant limitation of Google's contact manager was that most of the contact fields weren't searchable. This problem has been addressed and you can now search for any information included, from titles and companies, to locations and phone numbers.
"We've heard you loud and clear, and contact search now works much better: instead of just searching contact names and email addresses, it now includes phone numbers, notes fields, and mailing addresses as well. So, if you're visiting the Bay Area and looking for friends to catch up with, you could try typing "650" or "415" in the contact manager search box," suggests Gmail's blog.
Gmail should also include an advanced search option for contacts, so you can find more precisely the contacts that work for a certain company or the people who sent you more than 3 messages in the past month. Some of these searches could be saved and used to create dynamic groups.

Looks to me like the slightly different angle of the shot caught a reflection or some light from somewhere else in the room. Sorry, I've never put much faith in ghosts!
Neat pictures!
You need to have a talk with Pets and Tower. They seem to find stuff like that all the time.
Umm - is it condensation? Do you think that they manufacture special effects (ooooh - that sounds like a conspiracy theory!) but seriously, what do you think it is (was?) Did you get any spooky feelings while there?
I see dead people. Really. The picture with the reflection looks like a girl/woman in a long white dress. Classic example of pareidolia on my part though, I always see figures and images that don't exist. For example, the image of Jesus was ingrained in my wardrobe when I was a child, I first noticed it one day while I was doing sit ups and after that it's all I could see. Anyhoo, what do you see?
Hey JR, it's whatever you think it is! Really, as Spidey said 91rewoT (tower) and I have taken some odd photos. I realize most of the orbs in our pics are just a fault of the digital camera but we do have one of a creepy clown on top of a train car next to a canal in a small town and two orbs appear very vividly. We have another shot taken seconds later, same exact spot and there is nothing glowing in that one. We've studied the photo without the orbs to make sure there wasn't anything shiny that could have caught the sun for a second or two but there is nothing there to make that happen. I am convinced (maybe because of the clown, train car and canal! Too wierd!) that thsese orbs are "something". I think the picture is in an album on one of our pages.
I looked for our "orb" picture and found it in 91rewoT's Haunted Wisconsin Tour album on the second page. While looking in her album for the pic I had flashbacks of some wierd stuff from that trip!
I have seen them too, Ally. Not for quite awhile though.

The Bachelorette
Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum's Lavish Wedding Had a Cash Bar — Report
From all the Bachelor Nation tweets, it sounds like Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum's wedding reception was a total blast. At least, it was, until ABC packed up their cameras — and their wallets.
According to a NY Daily News source, "There was an open bar until 8 p.m., then it switched to a cash bar." The cut-off apparently came as an utterly unwelcome surprise to guests, many of whom weren't carrying any money on them. As one might expect, the source also reports that the party wrapped up pretty quickly after the promise of unlimited booze was off the table.
There are about as many opinions on wedding etiquette as there are people in the world who've attended a wedding at some point in their lives. But I think we can probably reach a consensus on one thing. If you're gonna shell out for a $70,000 dress and a $75,000 train, you best come correct with an open bar that goes to the break of dawn. Especially when the bulk of your guests are from the notoriously boozy Bachelor Nation!

1/2/12 On New Year's Eve we went to the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center in Great Barrington to hear the Berkshire Bach Ensemble perform all six of J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerti. The founder, harpsichordist and conductor, Kenneth Cooper, was his usual ebullient self, giving a really virtuoso performance of the solo in the 5th concerto. And Eugene Drucker is such a fine violinist. The whole troupe, though, was great — and in a festive mood, as was the audience. Although Howard at one point joked that the average age of the audience was 72, and would have been 74 were it not for the two 20-somethings sitting nearby, the spirit was wonderful. Not everyone attending was a connoisseur of baroque music, but it didn't matter. When people applauded in the middle of a movement, or between movements, or after a particularly roaring solo, it all felt so right. And being in the Mahaiwe is such a privilege. Built in 1905, it was the home to vaudeville performers, and is one of the oldest theaters in the country. John Phillips Sousa played there once. In 1930 it became a movie theater, and that's how I knew it when my kids were little. It was dilapidated and freezing in the winter. I saw Saving Private Ryan there, as well as Duck Tales: The Movie (which I deserved a medal for sitting through). At some point the theater suffered a terrible fire, and we figured that was that. But starting in 2005 funds were raised for an amazing and meticulous renovation. My photos do not do it justice. The Mahaiwe is the theater we all dream about: sumptuous details, boxes overhanging the stage. Now on the National Register of Historic Places and featuring incredible acoustics — well, let me say that the next time you're in Western Massachusetts, it's worth a visit.
Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center
14 Castle Street. Great Barrington. MA 01230
Box Office: 413-528-0100
Mahaiwe Box Office Hours:
Wednesday – Saturday: 12noon – 6pm

Comments about Wolverine Men's Moc Toe Work Boots:
I love these boots. Most comfortable boots I have put on my feet. I have had rockys, chipahwa, redwings, Justin's, ariat. I usually bring a pare of skater shoes to wear to and from work and put my boots on at work. Not these I forget I even have them on. I have done this so much I don't even take my skate shoes to work any more. Most boots last me about 6-8 months before they are destroyed. I have had these for 6 months now and they are still holding up. I can't believe it. Great boot must try

Bringing the Valentine's Day spirit with its "Champagne and Sweets" reception today, Aiken Center for the Arts is welcoming several new exhibits this month.
The reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at the center, 122 Laurens St., with refreshments available.
"This is the finest exhibit we've ever had," said Bill Reynolds, interim executive director. "I'm very excited and proud."
On display downstairs will be works from abstract local artist Jennifer Fornes, English sculptor Kathleen Friedenberg and equestrian and natural scene painter Booth Malone. There will also be the "Aiken Horse Through the Lens" exhibit composed of photographs from locals George Buggs, Mike Klieman and D.S. Owens.
On the first floor, in the far back corner, is the Aiken Artist Guild section, where a different members' artwork is showcased every month.
Suzan Sallstrom, who works mainly in water color, pastels and colored pencils, is highlighted for February.
Work from the art center's students, ages 4 to high schoolers, will be shown upstairs in the Brooks Gallery and will hold a separate reception.
All artists, except some of the students, will be present at the reception.
The students' and Sallstrom's exhibitions will be displayed until the end of the month; the rest will be in the center until March 15.
For more information, call 641-9094.

Literally, the word psychology means 'study of the soul'. The simple definition of psychology could be that it attempts to understand the working of mind through behaviour. The Encarta Dictionary defines it as "an academic and applied discipline that involves the scientific study of mental functions and behaviours". In short, it is the science of the mind.
Brief History of Psychology
In a philosophical sense, the study of psychology dates back to the ancient civilizations. It was in 4th century BC that mental orders were identified by a Greek physician Hippocrates as a physical and mental issue and not a paranormal event. Psychology was first combined with a laboratory setting by a German physician Wilhelm Wundt, who established the first psychological laboratory in 1879 at Leipzig University. He considered the mind as a separate and distinct entity and believed that it resided in the brain.
Psychology as a professional field of study is traced back to late eighteen century, when it was viewed as a sub-area of medicine and philosophy. Since then, there have been numerous schools of thought. Structuralism, the first ideology focused on understanding the working of mind and consciousness through its components, namely thought and perception. On the other hand, Functionalism emphasized on the active rather than inert mental faculties and processes. Associationism derives its ideas from the process of learning, in which situations and ideas become linked in the mind.
In the twentieth century, various schools of thoughts and approaches emerged. Behaviourism focuses on a theoretical outlook emphasizing the idea of psychology as a scrupulously. Cognitivism suggests that human behaviour and actions can be comprehended by understanding the process of though. Humanism applies a general approach to explaining the concept of free will, as well as the importance of human capabilities.
Types of Psychology
In the recent times, there are two major branches of psychology: practical psychology and theoretical psychology. Theoretical psychology, usually found in universities and research labs, refers to conducting research and performing experiments so that the existing knowledge bank can be further enriched in areas of behaviour, social interactions and human development. Practical psychology uses psychological principles to resolve everyday mental problems and issues.
Areas of Psychology
Psychology intersects and integrates other scientific disciplines such as biology, philosophy, medicine, linguistics, sociology, etc. Psychologists utilize biological concepts to map the different areas of the brain to understand functions such as memory. They depend on gaining medical knowledge to treat and help people manage mental diseases and disorders as well physical pain.
Psychology is multi-facet subject, with a broad range of branches and domains. Research and practices of psychology can be found in the following subfields:
Abnormal Psychology: As the name suggests, it is the study of abnormal and odd behaviour and psychopathology. The basic objective of this is to cure mental disorders and research them for further understanding.
Biological Psychology: It focuses on understanding the biological processes associated with the working of mind and shaping of behaviour. It studies structure and functioning of the brain referred to as Neurobiology.
Clinical Psychology: It assesses and diagnoses mental disorders and diseases and treats them with various methods. It is the most practiced area of psychology.
Cognitive Psychology: It studies human thought process and cognitions. The subjects of study are memory, attention, perception, linguistics, decision making and problem solving.
Developmental Psychology: It explores the ways humans mature, grow and develop during the course of their life. It measures elements such as rational thinking, social interactions, etc.
Forensic Psychology: A practical field of psychology, it uses the existing theories, principles and research to help the law enforcement authorities.
Industrial–Organizational Psychology: The aim of this category is to aid employers improve the productivity of the employees, select the most suitable employee and overall improve processes by using psychological principles and research.
Personality Psychology: It studies the components of an individual personality such as Freud's structural model of personality.
School Psychology: It aims at helping studies with their problems, may it be academic, social or emotional. It is customized to suit the educational system.

Google started to test a unified menu in the latest Chromium and Google Chrome dev builds. The new menu includes most of the options that were available in the page and tools menus.
If you use a recent Chromium build or Google Chrome dev channel, you can enable this feature by adding a command-line flag to the desktop shortcut: --new-wrench-menu.
To make the menu more compact, Google uses a single menu item for cut, copy, paste and another menu item that combines zoom options with full-screen.
Opera already uses a unified menu that replaces the menu bar, while Firefox 4 will include a single menu button. The unified menu takes up less space, it's less complex and it reduces clutter.
"The general purpose of the menubar is to contain all of the things that you want your program to do but you can't cram into the main UI. So the menubar generally ends up with a lot of stuff that isn't used very often, if at all, and yet is reproduced on every window and takes up a significant amount of real estate. It also has the tendency to become a dumping ground for new or hardly used features. Starting with Vista, and continuing with Windows 7, the menubar has been systematically removed from Windows applications built by Microsoft and other vendors. It has been replaced with alternatives like the Windows Explorer contextual strip or the Ribbon found in Office 2007," explains Mozilla's wiki.

Susan Butler
I just want to thank a special lady who was my angel this afternoon. While standing in line to pay for my groceries at Bi-Lo, I was told my account had insufficient funds. Upon seeing my distress, Susan Butler, who was behind me in line, graciously paid me for my groceries without a second thought. What a beautiful and selfless thing to do. Your kindness was so unexpected but so greatly appreciated. God bless Susan Butler and her family. I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because of you, my family was able to have a good dinner. I look forward to the day when I can do the same for someone else.
Laurens Street bridge
When you drive over the Laurens Street bridge, picture an Aiken-themed mural on both sides. Paint could be donated, and Aiken is full of artists and ideas. Turn a plain Jane bridge into another Aiken attraction.
The bridge is just fine like it is. If you want to beautify Aiken, fix the terrible Park Avenue road. I have to avoid that street so I don't ruin my tires.
The bridge is nice. My concern is all those holes in the roads in the county. Never seen it so bad. My truck won't last much longer with roads like that. Please fill in the holes.
In response to a question in Talk Back about an article that included the letters LGBTQ but did not explain what they stood for, the answer is "Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer." In conjunction with that organization is PFLAG, which stands for Parents and Friends of Lesbians And Gay persons. There is a local chapter here in Aiken which meets for support and information on the fourth Thursday of every month at the Aiken Unitarian Universalists Church at 115 Gregg Ave. As a parent, I can confirm that I have found the group very informative and supportive. The group also has a Facebook page: PFLAG AIKEN.
Amendment's purpose
News flash: The Second Amendment was not written to protect the people from the government. It was written so the president could call up a citizen army (militia) capable of fighting in case our country was attacked. We had no standing army at the time. The president is the commander-in-chief of all militias. Read the Constitution. Once we had a standing army, the Second Amendment should have been repealed, freeing the states to implement their own gun control laws.
Missing call
I live in downtown Aiken, so why did I not receive a reverse 911 call on my land line? Most of my neighbors did, but not all. What's up with that?

in the vineyards
Composting: Each fall, grapes enter the winery to be crushed and the remains are recycled back to the soil. We compost all pomace, old grape vines and other vegetative materials. They are ground and aged for a year before being spread on the vineyards to maintain on-going soil and vine health.
Cover Crops: Each fall we seed vineyard rows with cover crops such as yellow mustard, fescue, brome, and vetch. This benefits our soils by promoting soil life through erosion control, improved soil structure and soil moisture management. 600 of our 900 acres are left as open space and wildlife corridors, and our own herd of goats help with control of underbrush.
Soil Management: Care is taken to maintain the health of the soil in the vineyards. Vines are matched to specific soil types to minimize soil nutrient depletion; no-till farming is used to help the soil retain carbon and to avoid soil compaction.
Beneficial Insects & Owls: We encourage the presence of beneficial insects that are attracted to the variety of native wildflowers, wild mountain blackberries and other plants that are part of Mount Veeder's natural habitat. These beneficial insects, such as wasps, praying mantis and ladybugs, prey on vineyard pests. Owl boxes are used to encourage bird population that helps control vertebrate pest populations, e.g., gophers and voles.
Water Conservation/Dry Farming Techniques: Careful irrigation practices allow us to control vineyard canopies which ensure small berries and concentrated flavors that yield the highest quality fruit. We allow for many vineyard blocks to be nearly dry-farmed as part of our efforts to conserve water.
Erosion Control: Each fall efforts are made to "winterize" our vineyards to prevent erosion. This involves the use of cover crops, straw mulching, installing water bars on roads and maintenance of drainage systems. Taking care of our local watershed benefits everyone.
