"Gossip Girl" Draws to a Close
Bringing an end to their dramatic legacy, the "Gossip Girl" gang aired their final episode on the CW network last night (December 17).
And fans finally got a solid answer on who the real Gossip Girl is- Penn Badgley's hunky character Dan Humphrey.
The episode, titled "XOXO, Gossip Girl," also featured cameo appearances from NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Tinseltown hotties Kirsten Bell and Rachel Bilson.
In a thrilling reveal, Dan gave the signature voiceover, "The Upper East Side was like something from Fitzgerald or Thackeray – teenagers acting like adults, adults acting like teenagers, guarding secrets, spreading gossip all with the trappings of truly opulent wealth. And membership into this community was so elite you couldn't even buy your way in. It was a birthright – a birthright that I didn't have. And my greatest achievements would never earn it.
"All I had to compare it to was what I read in books. But that gave me the idea: I wasn't born into this world ... maybe I could write myself into it. I overheard enough conversations to mimic the voice of the Constance girls, but every writer needs his muse and it wasn't until that photo of Serena in the white dress that I knew I had something strong enough to actually create a legend and launch a website.
"Within weeks I was getting dozens of emails with stories about Upper East Siders, so I posted them anonymously. And then I got more. Before long it was a monster. Everyone was sending tips ... When Serena came back from boarding school, I wrote my first post about me, Lonely Boy, the outsider, the underdog. I might have been a joke but at least people were talking about me."
"Gossip Girl" also gave fans a look five years into the future to see what all of their favorite characters were up to.

In climbing up, there is an old adage mentioning that "climbing is the most effective training for climbing up," a proverb made use of by lots of making reasons for not educating outside of climbing. I personally differ with this philosophy as I will explain.
When we are mentioning the specific skills needed in climbing up, exactly how and when to tip, climbing strategies as well as mental skills, there is no replacement for the activity of climbing itself. In order to establish strength degrees details to the sporting activity of climbing such as enhancing hold stamina and also upper body toughness as well as endurance climbing will certainly generate very limited or also no results or enhancements.
One of the major factors climbing isn't excellent for strength training is since in climbing failure is not a choice. When one is toughness training for climbing up, one wants to get to as well as also pass the factor of muscle failure as it is this extremely act that causes the body to respond with an increase in strength to adjust to the stress being place on it.
One more instance that enhances the disparity in between climbing and also strength training for climbing up is the method which you hold the rock. In climbing up, the rock demands the climber to utilize a random variety of several grasp placements and also, at times, you might even intentionally vary the method you grasp the rock. Consequently, it's not likely that any kind of solitary grip placement will certainly ever obtain functioned maximally and, for that reason, the specific grasp placements (e.g. crimp, open hand, pinch, and so on) are slow to enhance strength.
This ought to help you understand why a full period of climbing might indeed boost your anaerobic endurance (i.e. endurance of toughness), but do little to increase you outright optimum grip toughness. As a result, differing grasp positions is an excellent strategy for taking full advantage of endurance when climbing for efficiency, however it will never ever benefit training optimum grip strength. Reliable finger strength training needs you target a certain grip position and also work it till failure, which could just be done securely in a non climbing up setting.
It can be much better for some mountain climbers to take part in cross training with various other tasks that are not specifically sport-specific. As an instance a person that has to lose weight needs to spend the majority of their non-climbing time doing cardiovascular activity to burn off the excess body fat as it is important that a mountain climber be as lean as feasible for optimum efficiency. If a person is completely without at the very least some modicum of health and fitness, they would certainly be much better off doing some circuit training that will certainly give them both toughness and also aerobic advantages.
In shutting I will certainly say that no matter your experience level in climbing, you will see a big renovation by consisting of specific toughness training in your routine.

One of the primary reasons climbing isn't great for strength training is because in climbing up failing is not a choice. When one is toughness training for climbing up, one desires to get to and also pass the factor of muscular failing as it is this very act that causes the body to respond with a rise in toughness to adjust to the anxiety being location on it. Differing grip settings is a fantastic approach for optimizing endurance when climbing for performance, but it will never ever work for training maximum grip strength. Reliable finger toughness training needs you target a particular grip setting as well as function it till failing, which can only be done securely in a non climbing up environment.

In May 1889, after episodes of mental illness, Vincent van Gogh chose to enter an asylum in Saint-Remy, France. There, in the last year before his death, he created almost 130 paintings. Within the first week, he began Irises, working from nature in the asylum's garden. The cropped composition, divided into broad areas of vivid color with monumental irises overflowing its borders, was probably influenced by the decorative patterning of Japanese woodblock prints. Each one of Van Gogh's irises is unique. He carefully studied their movements and shapes to create a variety of curved silhouettes bounded by wavy, twisting, and curling lines. The painting's first owner, French art critic, Octave Mirbeau, one of Van Gogh's earliest supporters, wrote: "How well he has understood the exquisite nature of flowers!"

Sophia's Journey
From Separated Shoulder to BJJ World Champion
Andrew Read, RKC
March 24, 2010 12:56 PM
On the 8th of November 2009, Sophia McDermott became the first Australian female to win a world championship in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. At thirty years of age she has spent most of her life training to compete in a variety of sports – first was five years of ballet and tap dancing, just like any little girl. Then came her first love of gymnastics. Competing for ten years, both Sophia and her twin sister Elizabeth were top national level gymnasts. However, a separated shoulder finished off her gymnastics career and that was when her life changed completely.
She began training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Melbourne, Australia in 2000. Quickly becoming the top national level female she moved to the United States to train at Rigan Machado's Academy before being the only girl ever invited to train full-time at the Rickson Gracie Academy. Now training at Robert Drysdale's school In Las Vegas and as the reining no Gi World Champ she has come a long way.
As a brown belt she is often less experienced than the women she competes against and has sought to make the difference up with conditioning. I have known Sophia for over ten years and had the chance to meet up with her in June 2009 after I completed the RKC. She had suffered another bad shoulder injury shortly before this at the World Championships.
After speaking with her for a while it became quickly apparent that what she needed to do was find a method of strength training that wouldn't tire her out much so she could continue her skills practice on the mat. With a standard week consisting of ten hours of BJJ plus another two hours of either wrestling or Judo this isn't as easy as it sounds. Skills pay the bills and already having a skill deficit means that she needs to concentrate her efforts on BJJ training and not conditioning.
As much as you're all probably thinking that this is where I introduced her to the kettlebell and the rest just fell into place that would be wrong. In fact, I spent a lot of time giving her my reasons why she should stay away from any form of external resistance training.
For starters, she competes right at the top of her weight class and has to diet very strictly to get under weight to compete. Adding weight to her frame would just make this harder. Secondly, with a history of shoulder problems I had a good idea that while she was very strong, she wasn't using her body correctly. To me, there is little point in adding external resistance if the person isn't even able to hold their body correctly. So the start of our training would need to focus on rehab for the AC joint as well as strength in preparation for the Worlds.
In Hardstyle we are taught to pack the shoulders – to always work as if we are trying to stand with good posture, no matter the position we are in. This packing of the shoulders, or pulling the shoulder blades down and back creates space in the AC joint. With a history of shoulder impingement it was important that we work on ways to keep the shoulders healthy to withstand the stresses of daily training. This was going to be accomplished by creating better thoracic movement by integrating some Z drills into her warm ups plus getting her back to basics with her strength training.
Taking direction from the
The Naked Warrior
I taught her how to hold a push up position while keeping her posture tight with shoulders packed in. She was quite surprised at the difference in feel for how it should feel versus what she had been doing her whole life. Once she had mastered the static hold we added in movement just as described in
The Naked Warrior
– action in both directions, pulling down to the bottom of the push up and then pushing the floor away on the way up while maintaining the packed shoulder position. At this point I could see light bulbs clicking on and off in her head as she came to realizations about the way she created movement. Not only that but with her posture held correctly she was able to work pain free!
Once she had come to terms with only being able to do a few push ups at a time we went to work on full body tension. She has now gotten so good at these push ups she is able to do one arm push-ups!
Her full training plan actually follows a template set out by Kenneth Jay in
Viking Warrior Conditioning
. She performs three main exercises – one arm push ups, pistols and chin ups. She performs each of these twice per week over the course of three workouts. So workout one may be push ups and chins, workout two chins and pistols with the final workout being push-ups and pistols. Sets and reps are kept low to minimize fatigue and muscle soreness. She performs three to five sets of 3-5 reps per exercise. The chin-ups are performed explosively with a slow negative.
While I'm speaking of VWC I'll also add in that it's my secret weapon that I've used this year with many BJJ competitors. However, not many of them are able to use kettlebells well enough, and with my time limited when I work with them, we have replaced snatches with either sprawl/burpees or squat thrusts. In Sophia's case we used squat thrusts (and hill sprints on alternate workouts), as I didn't trust her to be able to keep good shoulder placement during such a fast movement. We followed the same interval sequence as in phase one of VWC – 15:15 going for a maximum of 20 minutes. With tournament BJJ matches for brown/black belts only lasting ten minutes this would give her adequate conditioning.
She was amazed at the level of conditioning she was able to attain with such a limited training plan. None of her workouts exceeded thirty-five minutes, including the conditioning part, and she was able to fight through all her matches with plenty of gas in the tank. Her bodyweight stayed low while retaining the strength necessary to move her opponents around. It may seem too simple to be effective, but then that's the sort of comment I've come to expect from using Hardstyle methods with my clients. The funny thing is, that while others may question the training, few can argue with the results!

For our annual Thanksgiving party this year we had a 1920's murder mystery party. My sister gave me the excellent idea. She found a website where you can order murder mystery games online. Who doesn't like dressing up in 1920's fashion with finger waves and fringe dresses, and what guy doesn't like being a mobster for the evening. I highly recommend the game to spice up your holiday dinner party, and if you're not into the 1920's try out another one of their many themed parties. Here is a shot of some of the flappers that showed up for the Thanksgiving murder mystery:
Some Recipies from the evening:
Pomegranate Cornbread Stuffing
1 cup arils from 1 large Pomegranate
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1 12-oz. box (2 bags) cornbread stuffing mix, or seasoned bread stuffing mix
1. Make cornbread stuffing according to package directions
2. Score 1 fresh pomegranate and place in a bowl of water. Break open the pomegranate underwater to free the arils (seed sacs). The arils will sink to the bottom of the bowl and the membrane will float to the top. Sieve and put the arils in a separate bowl. Reserve 1 cup of arils from fruit and set aside. (Refrigerate or freeze remaining arils for another use.)
3. Preheat oven to 350F.
4. Place oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven and heat until hot. Sauté raisins, celery and onion for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
5. Place the stuffing mix in a large bowl; add raisin mixture, the arils, and parsley. Add additional chicken broth and butter if a moister stuffing is desired.
6. Use part of the mixture to stuff a 12-20 pound turkey; bake remaining (or all) stuffing in a shallow buttered baking dish for 11-20 minutes or until hot.
Cranberry Cocktails
cran-rasberry juice
champagne of choice
2 TB grenadine
bamboo skewers
Cut up lime and orange slices into small pieces. Mix cherries, lime, orange, grenadine and 1.5 cups of water. Pour this into ice cube trays. Let freeze for 6 %2B hours. Mix Champagne and Cran-Rasberry Drink in equal parts into a punch bowl. Add ice cubes right before serving. Stick cranberries through bamboo skewers for drink stirrers.

No surprise here. Anyone that doesn't know that AIPAC has out government in its hip pocket is clearly delusional.

Now here comes the real Obama.For a while we dared to think that change has come to correct the discourse that disgrased the US image in the world.Unfortunatly,it was a short lived optimism.Dropping the charges against AIPAC's henchmen proves that change as promised was but a mirage that could hardly materialized for those who fought hard to bring change to the White-House.Obama should be tought that winning harts and minds of the Arab and Muslim worlds start with his own emacipation from the Zionist hyenas.Its apparant that Israel lobby is still as strong and influential as ever, an augury for another chapter of lies and deciptions.

I am giving up in believing in the greatness of the United States of America.
We have all these discussions over if we should torture people or not; we see the loss of assets and pension benefits of people who have worked hard all of their life; and now we see the justice department relinquishig its responsibility to send spies on trial for political reasons.
Better keep the military powerful because the USA will need it to be respected throughout the world in the future.

Remember these documents revealed the secret US position on Iran. (Iran is in the cross hairs of Israel and they want the US to do their dirty work…bomb Iran and create more havoc in the middle east.)
Currently Israel is working the system to stop the Swiss from refining Iran's oil into gasoline and then shipping it back to Iran. This would certainly cripple Iran and it's economy.
I agree with the European politician…How can one shitty little country (Israel) create so many problems?
I'm for cutting off US aid to Israel (which they recycle back into the US to buy political influence…with our own tax dollars)until there is a Palestinian state.

OMG, AIPAC has boldly kicked ordinary Americans right in the arze and pizzed on the Flag, again. They no longer pretend where they stand and now with those like Jane Harman, Pelosi, Feinstein, Schumer and the borscht belt assembly in power places, their arrogance and audacity is no longer hidden. It is an "in your face" act today. This goes far beyond hubris, it is overt and an outright dare: "Yeh, we did it and so whatcha gonna do about it?"
I feel like little Oliver Twist (despite still being a former skilled combat vet) begging for a second bowl of thin soup, "Please sire, more?)
I can only come to the believe their motives come from and are justified by the endless story of the never-ending story of the Holocaust. It has become and never-ending excuse to do anything that is necessary to take everything possible of wealth and power to achieve ultimate domination in the USA. It is not about religion, it is based on revenge and the end game is pure evil, power, revenge on the world and owning all the stuff. Even the land, homes and jobs. All the existing means of farming and industry. With false sciences, control of education and the means of communications it is possbie to take our minds. Thus, they create a small and immensely weathly aristocracyh and a nation of deluded servants, most which they disdain and are quick to use or punish. The character in "1984," Silverstein or was it Goldberg thought it all through and managed Britania the same way. Alas, this week the enemy is Oceania next week Iran and keep an eye on Lebanon. What a jaundiced view of life. What a crime against all humanity. Other than the complete anihlation of mankind, this is a reptilian kind of thinking. I know of what I speak, I crossed over and would not be surprized at anything their relentlessk,complex plan entails. These reptiles have no meaning or purpose but taking, amassing and seeking complete domination. And a drugged, dumbed down population are truly helpless. As Henry Kissinger said decades ago, traditional American cannot win, in the long run they lack the relentless will to fight and achieve victory. That was extinguished after WW2. One man cannot do it. We are easily distract and generally accept the repetitious propagand on mainstream media, all of their closely held media with doctored news and mindwashing movies from their Hollywood factories. Pure relentless psycological warfare against to teach the chilren. Even the angry music and the drugs are no accident. I had rather have Rev. Wright and Lewis Ferakhan guiding us that what seems to have begun with the Reagan years that has lead to the misguided leaders in charge nowadays. I am now a stranger in a strange land. I doubt that I can live in this brave new world, not for very much longer. Maybe I have enough left to throw in the towel and manage to emmigrate. Uk? Italy? New Zealand or even the Carribean and live a short life searching for Margarittivile. I just don't want to play in this game anymore. Battered troops who managed to march home from Gettysbergy might have felt the same. My stomach is rumbling, again.

Franklin got 12 years in jail for his involvement in this spying case but the AIPAC spies are free. It is time that AIPAC be required to register as an agent for a foreign power. The U.S. has lost control of its foreign policy and now we are losing control over our judicial system.

Israel's treachery and duplicity visa the USA have been clear for 60 years, but millions of American Zionists, in and out of government, support and aid it. They will be a major cause of our downfall.

I wonder if the Supreme Court pick will have to be cleared by AIPAC?

My computer is still non—functional (mail lost the part that was to replace broken one)but can occasionally use this one for short times if not registered. (If anyone asks a question and I don't respond for a few days it won't be out of disinterest—just non-access to a computer.)
What has puzzled me from the outset about this case is why, if Rosen and Weissman were actually acting as spies, would they have revealed whatever information they had to a whole group of people including news journalists? Have always envisioned spying as a matter of conveying the information surreptitiously, in privacy. If they are indeed spies they aren't very good ones. (On the other hand, Daniel Ellsberg stole and leaked the Pentagon Papers to the NYTimes. I was at the FoI Center at the time and before publishing the Times asked for an amicus brief to be used in their defense if necessary, which I helped prepare.)
Re why the case was dropped, if the "classified" material was an issue wouldn't it have already been released to the newspeople who spoke with Weissman and Rosen? As a supporter of the existence of Israel as a Jewish-majority state, I do NOT think that lobbyists should get a free pass if they break an American law, and this case should not have been dropped. In my experience, roughly 75% of "classified" information actually does not need to be classified. The prosecutors should ask for a hearing on the nature of that material.

Food fed an empty place in her heart and void in my life that I wasn't sure how to fill at the time.
Years passed with this continued vicious cycle of unhealthy habits until June of 2008 that Laura and I decided that we were going to live the life we knew we were meant for, and atlas FIT CHICKS was born. With FIT CHICKS taking off and becoming a focus for my life I knew if I was going to promote it, I had to truly live it and changed my self-sabotaging habits for good.

Once a month on a Thursday I might finish late. It was that Thursday and I told people I couldn't make raid, and hopefully Tensai and Ravzz could fill in the gap.
Wednesday had gone OK but we had gotten a bit stuck on Dark Shaman because Aza had heard that if we wait long enough, Ji Firepaw gets executed and Aysa Cloudsinger rushes in and dies also. So when we got to Valley of Strength we waited for a bit.
And waited. "This is mean," said Tensai. "Can't you just watch the video instead?"
"It takes 15 minutes," Luxy said. So we started clearing the trash around him, and checked on them every now and then. Then as we were doing one last bit of trash, there was a shout "It's started!"
Ji was executed and Aysa ran in but Exray denied her the death she was destined and he pulled the mobs and we killed them as she was kicking them, and so she lived, but after the mobs died, Ji's body despawned. She wept for him and then she ran away!
Anyway for whatever reason, Dark Shaman wasn't crash hot. There were 2 walls which were weird. One went across the room and I died in it, and on another attempt there was no wall, and Aimei and I wondered if he had placed the wall perfectly inside the wall of Grommash Hold. It turned out Jazz had somehow got agro and the wall was placed where she was, and she went splat.
So on Thursday, with me not being there, and just Ravzz and Morz healing, Dark shaman was a one shot. And Ravzz even got the Dark Shaman transmog!!! Then Nazgrim went well (Ravzz got the Tier gloves - funny coz he had flex ones for so long and he only just upgraded them to normal on Sunday, and now he has heroic ones), and even Malkorok was a one shot. I was amazed. Mostly because Ravzz had not done those Malk or Dark Shaman on heroic and he had done well - I was honestly worried about Malkorok, but the others reassured me that he did very well. In fact, he was doing so well they were on Spoils. I was hoping maybe he would do brilliantly on that too so I could not do Spoils, but though he made some good progress he stepped out.
I was happy to raid, even though it's Spoils, and the first time I died from being stupid and getting stunned by the statues, but the second time it went very well. Nath even got to upgrade his heroic warforged mail belt to another heroic warforged belt... ! Luxy also took a belt upgrade as well. Then we had 2 goes on Thok and we had the best transition ever on P1 but unfortunately died as we opened the cage slightly slowly leading to some funny Thok positioning. The second go we had we died in P1 because we didn't transition for some bizarre reason! Anyway, that will leave Thok for Monday and some more attempts at Blackfuse.
So, looks like Ravzz is getting there!

The climate change issue is unlikely to play much of a role in the United States presidential election campaign, which will begin in June with the nomination of a Republican candidate to face
The Republican position on climate change is often described as "sceptical". In fact, it is a rigid orthodoxy, from which no deviation is tolerated.
According to this orthodoxy, mainstream climate science is not just completely wrong, it is a conspiracy in which money-grubbing scientists produce deliberate lies on order to promote higher taxes and, ultimately, a dictatorial world government.
The Wall Street Journal, the most authoritative source of news and opinion for US conservatives, endorses this position in its most extreme conspiracist form. It recently published a letter from 16 self-described scientists, attacking climate science and accusing scientists of lying for money.
The letter compared mainstream climate scientists to Trofim Lysenko, the pseudo-scientist who controlled Soviet biology under Josef Stalin. It went on to compare the alleged mistreatment of sceptics to Stalin's use of the gulag to silence dissent.
By contrast, the WSJ refused to publish a letter co-signed by 255 scientists and members of the US Academy of Sciences who support mainstream science. This position is likely to create problems for the WSJ in the future. More immediately, however, it has created big problems for the Republican Party.
The scientific body of evidence supporting the proposition that the global climate is warming, and that human activity is largely responsible, has been building up for decades.
During this time, most long-serving Republican politicians, including potential presidential candidates, have, at one time or another, endorsed the mainstream view. They now face the choice of recantation or political death.
The most prominent casualty of this was former Utah governor Jon Huntsman. A hardline conservative on nearly all issues, Huntsman insisted on restating his acceptance of the reality of climate change. This was an insult the Republican base could not bear, compounded by his acceptance of an appointment as ambassador to China from Obama. Despite spending millions of his own money, Huntsman's campaign went nowhere. After a poor third place in New Hampshire, he withdrew.
The support that Huntsman may have garnered went instead to
The remaining serious alternative is another flip-flopper,
Both Romney and Gingrich come to the campaign with big shares of embarrassing baggage. Gingrich's various indiscretions have been known for some time, but the campaign brought out the embarrassing fact that he worked as an advocate for mortgage company Fannie Mae, which he and other Republicans subsequently demonised as the prime cause of the global financial crisis.
More surprising have been the revelations about Mitt Romney, whose public image was that of a successful businessman, specialising in corporate turnarounds. Over the past few weeks, that image has been replaced with one of a ruthless corporate raider and aggressive tax avoider, stashing millions in Swiss banks and the Cayman Islands. A recent attack ad from the Gingrich camp documented Romney's entanglement in a massive Medicare fraud undertaken by a company he took over in the 1980s.
Barring some improbable scenarios, one or other of these deeply flawed candidates is certain to be the Republican nominee. Given his easy win in Florida, Romney is a clear favourite, but this may change when the latest Gingrich attack sinks in.
Either way, Obama is now a clear favourite for re-election, but he usually loses in polls where voters are asked to choose between him and a "generic Republican". Voters probably imbue this hypothetical character with attributes such as sanity and at least some minimal level of honesty. But in today's Republican Party, such attributes mean automatic disqualification.

The following letter was sent by the Charles Koch Foundation to senior editors at the New York Times:
Despite the Times' own explicit standards on sourcing, the Charles Koch Foundation received no opportunity to verify or react to the assertions made about us in a piece by Justin Gillis and Leslie Kaufman [Leak Offers Glimpse of Campaign Against Climate Science; Feb 15, 2012]. Your reporters called other companies to verify or comment. Why not us?
The piece reported, "documents say that the Charles Koch Charitable Foundation contributed $25,000 last year and was expected to contribute $200,000 this year." That is not true. As stated in a public statement released yesterday, the $25,000 grant that the Charles Koch Foundation gave Heartland last year was specifically directed to a healthcare research program and has nothing whatever to do with the climate research program at issue. The statement also made clear that the Foundation has made no further commitments of funding to Heartland. Had anyone from the New York Times contacted the Charles Koch Foundation, these points could have been mentioned in the story, or perhaps, your paper would not have made the false statements in the first place.
In addition, as noted in your story, the Heartland Institute itself has issued a statement declaring that at least some of the cited documentation is fabricated. In light of that, it is disappointing that the Times failed to make any effort to verify the numbers in relation to outside parties like ours that were cited.
I would appreciate some explanation for why we were not contacted. I also would appreciate that the Times set the record straight with respect to the assertions about us.

White Craft Fur Minnow
A step-by-step guide to a simple and effective small fry streamer
Spring time is streamer time and kicking off our series of favourite streamers is this easy quick tie white minnow pattern. The streamer is effective all through the season when small fry are present in the rivers -
however, it really shines early on the season when the Common Bleak and Common Roach start rising to the rivers around May. Check out the how-to video after the jump.
Tying the Craft Fur Minnow
This pattern (like most of our streamers these days) is a body-less wing-only pattern that relies heavily on it's teardrop shape and lively wing action in the water. Craft Fur is a soft synthetic hair like material and when using it without the mat (that it comes attached to),
it has a nice undulating action in the water and a natural taper for forming wings. The hair is usually long enough to form wings from 7 cm to 12 cm, which in our experience is the most usable streamer size.
The Pattern
|# 2-4 Short Shank Streamer
|White and black
|Pearl Blue Angel Hair
|White Craft Fur & Pearl Blue Angel Hair
|Black Craft Fur & Black fox
|Red hackle barbs
Starting out
Fasten the hook to a vice and wind on .20 lead wire to it (about half way along the shank should be enough). Wind on the thread and progress to the end of the hook, covering the lead wire.
Building the wing
Form a short Angel Hair tail. Attach a slightly longer Craft Fur bunch and double it over. Build up the wing this way with each bunch longer than the previous. Add few strands of Angel Hair in between for shine.
Forming the back
Form the back of the fly from a thin bunch of black Craft Fur. Fasten the bunch from it's middle and double over. The length should be slightly shorter than the wing itself.
The throat
Change your thread to black. Now Catch on red hackle barbs for the throat (barbs pointing forwards). Double them over and fasten with a few turns of thread.
Finishing the back
Tie on some black fox to build up form on the fly, also making it easier to form the head. The length should be about half of the black Craft Fur back.
Final touches
Form head and whip finish. Add lacquer to finish the head. Trim excess from the wing if needed (the wing should have a distinct tear drop shape).

An exploration of the reasons why adolescents engage in traditional and cyber bullying
Wilton, Courtney & Campbell, Marilyn A. (2011) An exploration of the reasons why adolescents engage in traditional and cyber bullying. Journal of Educational Sciences & Psychology, 1(2), pp. 101-109.
Accepted Version
(PDF 64kB)
This study explored the reasons underlying adolescents' perceptions of why their peers engage in bullying in the real and the cyber world. While there has been much research on why bullies engage in such behaviour, ranging from personality characteristics to social or familial reasons, the perceptions of young people on the motives of cyberbullies has not been researched. A new instrument, based on interviews and a literature review was piloted to measure young people's perceptions of why their peers engage in both traditional and cyberbullying behaviour, according to their role in bullying. Four hundred students were surveyed in three co-educational independent secondary schools. A comparison between perceptions of bullies' motives in traditional and cyberbullying was made. Implications for interventions with bullies are discussed.

By Wendy Koch, USA TODAY
Quit-smoking hotlines are being swamped — some as much as four times their usual volume — by smokers ready to kick the habit after the largest-ever increase in the federal tobacco tax.
"We're seeing magnificent volume because of the tax," says Mary Kate Salley of Free & Clear, a Seattle company that runs "quitlines" for 17 states. She says the lines got 3,250 calls on Wednesday, the day the increase took effect, up 369% from the same day in 2008.
In 10 other states, calls were 163% higher than on the three previous Wednesdays, says Dawn Wiatrek of the American Cancer Society, which runs quitlines in 11 states.
Many state hotlines started to see an increase last month, when tobacco companies began raising prices in anticipation of the tax increase. Philip Morris USA raised the price of Marlboros 71 cents a pack, and R.J. Reynolds raised Camel 44 cents. The federal cigarette tax went up 62 cents to $1.01 a pack.
The tidal wave of calls was "totally, totally unexpected," says Karen Brown of the Michigan Department of Community Health. On March 11, when her hotline offered free nicotine replacement products, it got 21,000 calls in the first 24 hours. Brown says 400 people fielded calls but couldn't keep up.
Smokers said they wanted to quit because of higher tobacco prices, says Brown, who helped work the phones. "I heard a lot of commitment," she says, as callers told her, "This is it!"
Michigan provided so much counseling and medications, Brown says, "we're almost completely out of money." The state is now restricting its aid to low-income people.
All 50 states and Washington, D.C., have quitlines (800-QUIT-NOW) staffed with counselors, and more than half offer free nicotine patches, gum and lozenges, says Linda Bailey of the North American Quitline Consortium.
If smokers try to quit cold turkey on their own, Bailey says, their chance of success is 3%. If they get counseling, it is at least 16%, and if they add medication, it's about 30%.
"Quitlines are the most efficient way to help people quit," say Matthew McKenna, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office of Smoking and Health.
The tax increase helps fund State Children's Health Insurance Programs, which President Obama expanded this year. McKenna says "stronger discussion" is needed about using some of the revenue to help smokers quit.

"New Evidence Discovered In the Marshall Islands"
Now.... for the first time in history we have proof of Amelia Earhart's crash in the Marshall Islands... In March 2013, Richard (Dick) Spink made a trip to the Marshall Islands under the auspices of the government of the Marshall Islands and filmed interviews with the Marshallese and discovered new evidence that Amelia Earhart crashed in the Marshall Islands. According to Dick Spink, "It was the old fisherman who told me exactly where to look for evidence of the crash. There, in the tropical islands, I found parts off Amelia Earhart's airplane." Following the March 2013 trip, Dick Spink made three more trips to Milli collecting and filming evidence of the crash.
"Vital Information About the Earhart Loss"
Fred Goerner's book, "The Search for Amelia Earhart" pioneered a multitude of Amelia Earhart books. Elgen Long's book, "Amelia Earhat The Mystery Solved," caused a lot of attention, but the facts that were presented have not gained acceptance by the professional aviation community.

A Sonnet (San Suu Kyu) - Poem by Oskar Hansen
A Sonnet (San Suu Kyu)
Aung San Suu Kyu the fragrant daughter of a Burmese
general is a scented lovely lady. Four years ago when
she was 60 I wrote her a poem and it disappeared into
the www. It's her dignity and silence I find compelling
I wouldn't mind waking up in the morning and find her
face on the pillow beside me. Yes, I know call me what
ever you want, had she looked like Hillary Clinton, I
would have protested against 18 month house arrest
but my heart wouldn't have been involved; now I feel
as I'm losing her forever and I will never meet her and
and say the three words I have waited so long to say.
She is a symbol of peace and democracy, ok so I leave
the politics up to you, all I want her to do is to see me
smile and recognize my love for her.

FLORENCE, S.C. – The Francis Marion University women's basketball team moved up four spots to seventh in this week's USA Today ESPN Division II Top 25. Both FMU basketball teams will celebrate Senior Night when play host to Armstrong Atlantic State University for a Peach Belt Conference doubleheader on Wednesday (Feb. 25).
The women's game will tip-off at 5:30 p.m., followed by the men's game at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and $2 for students.
The women's contest will be joined in progress at 7 p.m. on WWFN-FM 100.1 The Fan, and the men's game will be aired in its entirety. Both games will be broadcast live on Time Warner Cable's channel 11 in the Florence area.
The Francis Marion women (24-1, 17-1) have won their last 15 games, fifth-longest streak in team history, and on Saturday clinched the PBC regular season championship – their second in a row and third in team history. FMU will be attempting to complete its fifth-ever perfect home season on Wednesday as the Patriots are 14-0 in the Smith University Center.
The No. 7 ranking is the highest for the program since the Patriots were ranked seventh in the 1999-2000 pre-season poll. Francis Marion even received a first-place vote (one of 28) this week.
Francis Marion defeated AASU 75-61 three weeks ago in Savannah, and leads the all-time series 17-14. AASU (15-10, 10-8) is currently sixth in the conference standings.
Prior to the game, Francis Marion will recognize its six seniors: guards Shaquana Morgan (96 games, 222 pts, 161 rebs, 116 asts, 77 stls), Jennifer Dyer (116 games, 1104 pts, 423 rebs, 262 asts, 284 stls), Kevina Ransom (55 games, 540 pts, 175 rebs, 298 asts, 257 stls), and Evelyn Ruff (44 games, 100 pts, 32 rebs, 22 asts, 20 stls) and forwards Creshenda Singletary (85 games, 970 pts, 410 rebs, 87 asts, 34 blks, 97 stls) and Katherine Kiefer (84 games, 440 pts, 194 rebs, 72 asts, 59 stls). Singletary and Kiefer are four-year letterwinners, while the other four players transferred to FMU prior to the 2007-08 season.
The FMU men (16-9, 9-9), coming off an upset of 25th-ranked GCSU on Saturday, will be looking to sweep the season series from AASU (20-5, 13-5). Earlier this month, the Patriot men beat a then 12th-ranked Pirates squad 74-69 in Savannah. FMU is currently fifth in the PBC standings, while AASU is tied for third.
The FMU men's team will honor five seniors prior to the final home contest: guards Crayton Jones (53 games, 276 pts, 207 rebs, 179 asts, 84 stls) and Houston Power (68 games, 516 pts, 166 rebs, 152 asts, 58 stls); center Stanley Jones (91 games, 570 pts, 335 rebs, 56 asts, 48 blks, 32 stls); and forwards Sam Smith (52 games, 525 pts, 219 rebs, 42 asts, 25 stls) and Kevin Clark (102 games, 570 pts, 379 rebs, 119 asts, 69 blks, 48 stls).
FMU will close out its regular season on Saturday afternoon at Clayton State University, before heading to the Peach Belt Tournament next week in Aiken.

(CNSNews.com) – The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the unemployment situation will remain "largely unchanged" in 2012 and again in 2013 as the economy struggles to recover from the record recession of 2007-2008.
"In CBO's forecast, the unemployment rate in 2012 and 2013 remains largely unchanged from its value last year," CBO said in its updated budget forecast Tuesday.
CBO reported that while jobs market conditions will improve slightly next year, the overall jobless situation will not improve much at all. CBO also reported that labor force participation – those who either have work or are actively looking for work – will decline by another one percent by 2017.
"[T]he rate of participation in the labor force will fall by about 1 percentage point by 2017," the report said.
In fact, unemployment will not return to its pre-recession level of about five percent until 2022, CBO finds. CBO estimates that unemployment will remain about one percent higher than the pre-recession level of five percent, due partly to the inability of the long-term unemployed to find work. In other words, the recession will result in about a 0.5 percent permanent increase in the unemployment rate.
CBO also said that the labor force itself will shrink permanently due to the recession. This means that because of the persistently high unemployment caused by the recession, millions of people will permanently give up looking for work.
"The rate of participation in the labor force fell from 66 percent in 2007 to an average of 64 percent in the second half of 2011," CBO said. "By CBO's estimates, the rate of labor force participation will fall to slightly above 63 percent by 2017."
CBO said that had millions of people not given up looking for work entirely, "the unemployment rate in the fourth quarter of 2011 would have been about 1.25 percentage points higher than the actual rate of 8.7 percent."
In other words, the unemployment rate would have been almost 10 percent – 9.95 percent exactly – had so many people not been driven from the workforce by the lack of jobs.

Please see the attached picture of the FSM guitar I built. It debuted at the Center For Inquiry Indiana annual picnic. I have wanted to build this for three years and finally got it done. The guitar is a very playable instrument (but only while standing up). My friend, retired medical illustrator Craig Gosling (photo left) did the sketch for the body shape. I constructed the guitar and Eric Ward did the paint.

The Australian census is here and now is the time to mark Pastafarian as your stated religion, if you like.
I won't make a long argument and I won't say that you should absolutely do this. But I do believe it's a reasonable and legitimate choice. If there are things in the Pastafarian religion that you identify with, and if you would like to see the Pastafarian religion gain formal legitimacy, then please designate Pastafarian as your religion.
Update 8/10/2011
I see some discussion in the comments, and I got some emails, pleading don't throw away your votes because they won't be counted. It's a reasonable point – marking No Religion will be officially counted, while writing in Pastafarian will not be. But I would ask, what is the actual purpose here? Will policy follow from these results? If you believe that, you might want to mark No Religion. If, like me, you are more cynical and believe policy comes first and the data is used as a justification (and only when it supports the policy decision), you might feel more free to mark Pastafarian, if you're inclined.
Here's a guest post by Justin Griffith. Justin is well known for his fight against the idea that "there are no Atheists in Foxholes". He was recently profiled in the New York Times for his activism.
A little while ago, news broke about a Pastafarian
winning the right to wearing a pasta strainer on his head for his official driver's license photograph *edit: it seems that there was no legal battle*. Coincidentally, around the same time, I got a few emails from the contributors to a Wikipedia article on Religious Symbols in the US Military asking if I would contribute a photograph of my Atheist dog tags.
Shortly after I donated the photograph to Wikipedia, the photo was added to the Flying Spaghetti Monster entry as well. Awesome.
I actually have a few funny stories about FSM and the Army. *warning: quoting a Drill Sergeant is NSFW*
Why the Flying Spaghetti Monster was bigger than Jesus in boot camp.
There are strict rules about what non-military texts you can posses during boot camp. They only allow one book, and it must be a holy book from your religion. As you'd expect from this rule, there were a few Bibles, a Koran, and even a Book of Mormon in various wall-lockers in my company. Most people just didn't have a book at all.
I, however, brought my copy of The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
My book was incredibly popular, and people kept talking about it during the few short breaks you get during the typical boot camp day. Then other people would hear about it and ask me if they could borrow it. Everyone laughed like a bastard, and really enjoyed it.
Many people told me that the book really made some sense to them. I must have accidentally converted dozens of people, as the humorous parody religion's messages actually sank in.
At one point my Drill Sergeant tried to take it away from me. He thought it was just some book that I smuggled in. Keep in mind that Drill Sergeants are professionally trained in the art of not laughing at anything (yelling and freaking out are more appropriate responses to most situations.)
Anyway, this is the gist of the conversation:
Drill Sergeant: "Private Griffith – is that some contraband?"
Me: "No, Drill Sergeant. It's my holy book."
Drill Sergeant: "Give that to me…" *Yoink!* "Flying Spaghetti Monster!? What the fuck?"
Me: "I'm a Pastafarian, Drill Sergeant."
[he shot me a look like he was t minus 5 seconds from throwing me into the Sun]
Drill Sergeant: "Are you fucking with me? Are you fucking with me at 0600, Private Griffith? Before I even get some goddamned breakfast?"
[I did my best to return the intensely humorless stone face.]
Me: "No, Drill Sergeant."
Drill Sergeant: "Flying Spaghetti Monster!? I don't fucking believe it!!!"
Me: "I believe it, Drill Sergeant."
Drill Sergeant: "What the hell is wrong with you, warrior?"
[I went for broke]
Me: "Drill Sergeant, I'm afraid I can't really talk to you about this any further unless I'm in my religious clothing. I need to be in full pirate regalia, or at the very least wearing an eye patch."
….Then he just looked at me for about 30 seconds. Crickets. Time stopped… The other soldiers that were around were extremely scared of the coming mass punishment they imagined that I had surely just earned them.
Then he flipped through the book. He read a few sentences out loud. And then it happened.
He smiled.
Then he handed me my book and told me to do some push ups – a slap on the wrist. And my punishment was really only for making him smile, not for anything else. He just couldn't bring himself to treat this situation like every other situation.
First off, I actually had quite an ordeal simply getting my ID tags to accurately reflect my atheism. When I was speaking to Army recruiters, the first one that I worked with was a very religious person. Normally, this isn't relevant. However, when asked what my religion was, I answered "Atheist". He entered a "Baptist" variation.
At one point he asked me to look over his computer screen for any errors, and I hastily fixed this. I only had a few seconds, so I scrolled through the list and found "NO-REL-PREF". A few days later, I had more issues with this recruiter and asked to be assigned to another one. He was great, but I guess he forgot to fix my religious preference on my forms as I requested. A similar set of circumstances prevented the mistake from being corrected when they were being issued at Basic Training.
Religious Preference – that's the Army's term. It's a little garish and awkward, but it does the job. I was pissed off that I was stuck with dog tags that said "NO-REL-PREF". I do have a religious preference – "none for me please… Atheist!" That's not the same as "I don't have a religious preference".
I've thought about religion quite seriously, and I most certainly have a preference. Atheist has been on the military's approved list of responses to this question for quite some time, so I was not breaking any barriers. I was finally told that I could (and did) change my religious preference to Atheist on my paperwork, but that I couldn't receive updated dog tags. I was told that soldiers change their last names and religious preferences frequently enough, but must get their updated dog tags made off post at their own expense.
I was a little bit angered that I now had to buy my own set of ID tags to fix this, but at least I had an answer and a way forward.
Being a former creationist, I really identified with Flying Spaghetti Monster meme. Leaving creationist indoctrination was a long and painful journey for me. Absurd as FSM might be, it's as culturally significant to me as religion is to many others. I truly identify with it, appreciating both the humor and the reality underpinning the parody religion.
Obviously, a strictly serious answer to the question about my religious preference is "Atheist". But given the amount of hassle I went through to get my dog tags corrected – I decided it was time for some levity. Unfortunately, the limited writing space is a factor. I considered these:
But I wanted to include ATHEIST too, so in the end I settled with
And I'm happy with that. Yes, these are legitimate 'officially accepted' dog tags by the way. Interestingly, there are more than a few that legitimate sets that say "Jedi Knight".

Audio Postcard: Townshend, VT

Townshend is in many respects the hub of southern Vermont's West River Valley. Leland and Gray, the Valley's union district high school, is there, as is Grace Cottage Hospital, the local medical facility. As of this summer, Townshend is also home to a farmers' market, which sets up on the town common on Thursday afternoons. VPR's Susan Keese stopped by recently and filed this postcard:Editorial Note: Eleven maple trees on the Townshend Town Common did fail to leaf out after being sprayed with fire retardant foam. The foam was used during the making of the 1988 Warner Brothers Film "Funny Farm," to create the illusion of snow. The studio's insurance paid to have new trees planted.

Mariah Carey Calls Newborn Twins an 'Incredible Gift'
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have officially been parents for three days now, and they're loving every minute of it.
The songbird took to her Twitter page to update more than 4 million of her followers on her new motherhood and thank the well-wishers. "I wish I could personally thank all those around the world who continue 2 send congrats+prayers for #dembabies!" she wrote Monday (May 1). "They're doing great! They are the most incredible gifts we could ever have imagined
Carey also said that she is ready to reveal the names of the twins to her fans before telling friends and family, challenging her followers to guess. Although she hasn't yet confirmed a winner of the guessing game, the singer did reveal that both names begin with the letter "M."
As previously reported, the 41-year-old gave birth to the twins, a boy and girl, Saturday morning (April 30), on their third wedding anniversary. Carey and Cannon renewed their vows the following day under the guidance of Rev. Al Sharpton.
The couple tied the knot in 2008, to the surprise of both the public and those close to them. They currently split their time between New York and Los Angeles, and revealed that the price tag on the twins' baby nursery was a whopping $100,000.

Falling productivity in Australian ports accompanied by a large rise in wage costs show how enterprise bargaining on the wharves is not helping Australia to trade its way to prosperity in the so-called Asian Century.
The competition watchdog found that strike action during enterprise bargaining agreement talks in ports in 2011-12 had damaged productivity and pushed up wage costs by 7.5 per cent, the highest increase since the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission began monitoring the sector 12 years ago. ACCC head
The fact is the large leap in productivity and competition in our ports was unleashed by the 1998 waterfront dispute which weeded out MWU feather bedding and rorts. It was a national disgrace that such aggressive action was required to do the job. These gains must not be reversed. Port operators must be allowed to automate to boost productivity. The introduction of a third stevedore, Hutchison Whampoa, in Brisbane and Sydney should ensure the ports duopoly faces more competition. This is needed as very robust stevedore profits, waterfront wages that are high by international standards and falling productivity are a warning our ports could be headed back to the bad old days.

Capcom Outlines Game Plan
Profits and sales up, but company expects slowdown due to lack of major releases.
Capcom shared its third quarter earnings report today and also provided an updated look at its plans for the rest of the year.
For the nine months ending December 2009, sales reached 49,987 million yen, up from the previous year's 47,223 million. Operating income was up, to 4,817 million yen, well above the previous year's 2,613 million.
The company cited strong sales of Monster Hunter as well as strong performance in the first half of the current fiscal year as reason for the higher figures. As low performers, the company mentioned Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles and Okami, both for Wii.
Monster Hunter was the company's biggest performer over the first three quarters. Monster Hunter 3 has sold a total of 1.15 million units; it was released on August 1. Monster Hunter Freedom Unite sold 1.15 million over the nine months, of which 200,000 comes from America and 250,000 from Europe. Resident Evil 5 sold 850,000 units.
For the fourth quarter, ending March 2010, the company said to expect a drop in sales due to the strategic postponement in the introduction of major titles. The only titles mentioned in the company's sales plans are Dark Void, with 600,000 units planned for North America and Europe, and Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition (Alternative Edition), with 350,000 units planned across the world.
Looking forward even further to fiscal 2011, the company listed Street Fighter IV, Monster Hunter 3's overseas release, Lost Planet 2 and Dead Rising 2 among its major titles. These were all listed with their previously announced dates. Dead Rising 2 is set for calendar 2010 worldwide.
The company promised to spread the release of major titles across all four quarters.

Adverse Outcomes of Glucocorticoid Therapy among Patients with Giant Cell Arteritis.
Lopez Vives, Laura, Narvaez, Javier, Estrada, Paula, Gomez Vaquero, Carmen, Miquel Nolla, Joan
Glucocorticoids (GC) are currently the only agents in giant cell arteritis (GCA) with proven efficacy. Two studies have demonstrated that GC therapy carries an important long-term morbidity, with an incidence of GC adverse events ranging from 58% to 86% of the patients1,2.
Purpose. To evaluate the incidence and risks of adverse events associated with GC therapy in a series of patients with GCA diagnosed in an area of north-eastern Spain over a 23-year period.
Retrospective follow-up study of an unselected population of 140 patients with GCA diagnosed in 1 center between 1986 and 2008. Medical records of these patients were reviewed, and clinical variables, GC doses, and GC adverse events on each patient were recorded. Multivariate regression analysis were were used to identify variables associated with the development of adverse events.
The series included 94 women and 46 men with a mean age at time of diagnosis of 75 ± 7 years (range, 56 to 92). TAB was positive in 112 (80 %) patients. For the total sample the mean duration of therapy after diagnosis was 41.6 months (range, 12.5 to 180) and the total median dose of prednisone was 10.2 gm.
Adverse events associated with GCs were recorded in 89 (63.6%) patients and 2 or more events occurred in 51 patients (36.4%). The main adverse events and their frequency are presented in the following table:
Major adverse events that occurred in 89 of 140 patients with GCA
|Type of adverse event
|Patients with the event, number (%)
|Diabetes mellitus
|22 (15.7%)
|41 (29.2%)
|49 (35%)
|Total osteoporotic fractures
|27 (19.3%)
|Symptomatic vertebral fracture
|15 (10.7%)
|Hip fracture
|7 (5%)
|Colies' fracture
|3 (2.1%)
|Insufficiency fracture of the pelvis
|2 (1.4%)
|2 (1.4%)
|Posterior suboapsular cataract
|30 (21.4%)
|Glucocorticoid-induced myopathy
|3 (2.1%)
|Gastrointestinal bleeding
|2 (1.4%)
|Severe or opportunistic infections
|25 (17.9%)
Among those patients experiencing and adverse event, the median duration of therapy was 48.7 months (range, 2 to 180), the total median dose of prednisone was 11.6 gm, and the average daily dose was 9.5 gm. The median time from initiation of therapy to the first adverse event was 8.5 months. In the multivariate analysis, only higher cumulative dose of prednisone (odds ratio = 1.17, 95% confidence interval: 1.05, 1.30) was associated with the development of adverse GC side effects
The incidence of GC adverse events in patients with GCA is high, occurring at least in 63.6% of cases; being this percentage close to that observed in other populations. Adverse events may occur even in low-dose therapy and appear to be dose and duration dependent. Osteoporotic bone fractures and infections were as frequent as cardiovascular adverse events.

Why Become A LAMBDA?
Like many of the brothers in our beloved fraternity, I also did my research
on the vast amount of varied fraternities across the nation. All fraternities
offered different things like social activities and some community service
events. None, however, felt like what a fraternity is supposed to be.
A FAMILY. The brothers of Lambda Theta Phi live by a code of honor that
guides our everyday life. Our family is more deeply rooted in its TRADITIONS,
RITUALS, VALUES, MORALS, than any other Latin Organization around. I
felt Lambda Theta Phi offered everything I was looking for to further
develop my skills as a member of society, a leader, and a brother. The
brothers of Lambda offer an array of skills and experiences. We like
to help each other in any way we can no matter where we are located
on the GLOBE.
As A Brother
As a brother I have enjoyed the luxuries of having a real brother. I
feel these brothers are not only my best friends but also my family
and my guardians. Like any family I have seen and received support from
brothers in almost any situation. It is a wonderful feeling to know
your BROTHER has your back 'TIL the DAY I DIE!
Thank you to all my brothers.

Computex is the place to show off new hardware, and Intel has done it in a big way. It demoed dozens of new tablets, said its partners would ship 140 new tablets this year, and showed off a new processor for tablets, the Core M.
So it's not hard to see why enthusiasts were feeling neglected. Well, that neglect is over. Intel's new enthusiast chip Devil's Canyon will give people who like to overclock their systems for maximum performance plenty to play with.
Devil's Canyon is based on the older Haswell generation, not the newer Broadwell, which is late to market. The chips are officially known as Core i7-4790K and Core i5-4690K. Because of this, the two chips are socket-compatible with the existing LGA 1150 that are on the market. However, motherboard manufacturers will need to tweak their Z87-based motherboards because the chips have a higher power draw of 88 watts vs. 84 watts for the original Haswells.
There's a reason they run a little hotter: they are hotter. The Core i7-4790K can run all four cores at a base clock frequency of 4.0GHz. No Intel chip has run that fast in a sustained mode. The best they've done has been to shut down other cores and run one core around 4Ghz in burst mode.
Beyond that, the 4790K is unlocked, so tweakers can raise the clock speed even higher. That's best left for the modern day chopper makers who engage in liquid cooling and extreme fan cooling. They will undoubtedly hit 5GHz in no time.
The Core i5-4690K is no slowpoke. It will run at a base clock speed of 3.5GHz with a turbo burst mode of up to 3.9GHz. Like the 4970, its multiplier is unlocked for overclocking.
Both processors are quad-core but only the Core i7 variant supports HyperThreading. The Core i7-4790K will have 8MB of cache, where the Core i5-4690K has 6MB. Both come with the Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics processor.
Intel expects the new Core i7 part to sell for $339 and the Core i5 for $242 in quantities of 1,000.
Intel is also marking the 20th anniversary of its Pentium processor by introducing the all-new Pentium G3258. It will sell for $72, also in lots of 1,000.

Yet, I accept that the relevance of Hershey is being diminished by three major factors: the rise of the Internet, changing demographics and economics.
