Infinity refers to unboundedness or endlessness. Something is said to be infinite if it has no limit in extent or no end (or no beginning) in time. The phrase ad infinitum refers to repeating or continuing an action forever. Something which is not infinite is said to be finite. An infinite series of causes or of explanations is called an infinite regress.
Various apologetic and counter-apologetic arguments rely on notions of infinity. See:
- Infinite regress and Infinite regress does not occur
- Turtles all the way down
- Cosmological argument
- Kalam
- Unmoved mover
- Uncaused cause
- Pascal's wager
- God of the gaps
- How can finite phenomena prove an infinite God?
- Existence of finite beings prove that infinite beings exists
Concepts of infinities
There are several types of infinity with different definitions or mathematical foundations. They include:
A potential infinity is a process that can continue indefinitely or a set that can expand indefinitely and without limit. While the process may continue without limit, the number of steps that have actually occurred in the process is finite. The existence of potential infinities is generally accepted.
An actual infinite is a set (or group of entities) which has more members than any natural number i.e. it is very large. A set containing all whole numbers (natural numbers) arguably is an actual infinite which exists as a mathematical concept. The controversy of infinite regress often involves the question of the existence of actual infinities in physical reality.
The theory of transfinite cardinal numbers, proposed by Georg Cantor, allows for different types of infinities and their mathematical usage. The mathematics of infinity is notoriously tricky and sometimes counter intuitive.
Are God's attributes actual infinities?
Apologists argue that actual infinities do not exist. But if actual infinities do not occur, God cannot have actually infinite attributes. William Lane Craig rebuts this argument by saying God's quantitative attributes are not an actual infinity at all:
- "Really "infinity" is just a sort of umbrella term used to cover all of God's superlative attributes. If you abstract away all of those attributes, there really isn't any distinct attribute called "infinity" left over. But none of those attributes need involve an infinite number of things.[1]"
This is similar to the idea that God's attributes are "without limited" but not "actually infinite". He also claims that it is not a concept that can be addressed mathematically:
- "But when people talk about the infinity of God, this is not a quantitative concept [...] rather it is a qualitative notion when one speaks of God's infinity [2]"
This is contrary to the type of God that apologetics typically attempts to demonstrate.

On Friday, September 16, 2011, President Obama signed the America Invents Act at a signing ceremony at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, VA. The U.S. Senate voted on September 8, 2011, to reform U.S. patent laws by approving the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which had identical provisions to H.R. 1249, which was approved by the House of Representatives on June 23, 2011.The legislation passed by the House and Senate made significant changes to the U.S. patent system, including conversion to a first-inventor-to-file system, introduction of enhanced post-grant review procedures conducted in the USPTO, and redefinition of the parameters of USPTO funding. The bill also addressed preissuance submissions by third parties; USPTO fee-setting authority; supplemental examination, which appears relevant to the issue of inequitable conduct; reissue, which also appears relevant to the issue of inequitable conduct; micro entity fees; false marking; tax strategy patents; elimination of the best mode defense (although the best mode requirement remains in 35 U.S.C. § 112); special post-grant review for business method patents; USPTO satellite offices; creation of a USPTO ombudsman; residency for Federal Circuit judges; and USPTO authority to prioritize examination. To date, all provisions have gone into effect following enactment of the legislation with new rules promulgated by the USPTO implementing the legislation. A number of important changes took effect upon enactment. Notably, the threshold for instituting inter partes reexamination has changed. The new threshold requires a finding "that there is a reasonable likelihood that the requester would prevail with respect to at least one of the claims challenged in the request." Additionally, the Federal Circuit now serves as the only appeal route from ex parte reexamination decisions. The legislation also included substantial changes to the false marking statute, which applies to cases pending on the date of enactment, as well as cases filed on or after that date. Upon enactment, all fees increased by 15% 10 days after enactment; the USPTO offers a new micro entity discount (75% discount) for certain fees; and Track I prioritized examination is available for $4,800. Patent challengers who file proceedings on or after the date of enactment may no longer rely on best mode as a defense to infringement. Also, on or after the date of enactment, patent holders may use virtual marking (through a website). When enacted, the legislation also made immediate changes to patent applications directed to tax strategies and human organisms. The legislation also included a change that applies in certain instances to the method of calculating the due date for a patent term extension application based on FDA approval. One year after enactment, seven other provisions of the AIA went into effect. Notably, three new administrative trial provisions ─inter partes review, post-grant review, and the transitional program for covered business methods patents─ are available as timely, cost-effective alternatives to district court litigation in order to challenge an issued patent. Supplemental examination provisions now allow applicants to submit relevant information regarding the patentability of an issued patent in order to protect the patent from an inequitable conduct charge. Changes to the inventor's oath or declaration provisions enable an assignee to file a patent application. The citation of patent owner provision allows for the USPTO to treat the claims in a patent consistent with how a patent owner represents its claims to a court or in other USPTO proceedings. The year anniversary of the AIA also marked the beginning of the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB), formerly known as the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (BPAI). On March 16, 2013, the historic shift to a first-inventor-to-file system aligning the U.S. system with international patent system occurred. Additional provisions under AIA took effect on this date, e.g., derivation proceedings and the repeal to the statutory invention registrations.

Omega Rising: An Agent Rusty Bones Novel
by Douglas S. Pierce
About the Book
In this first novel about a super-secret government program gone horribly wrong, you will be introduced to the U.S. government's first undead special agent, Agent Rusty Bones.
What started out as a way for jason Smith to supplement his income as a police officer by participating in a strange, multi-agency task force turns out to be a renegade government project to create super-warriors who would be unstoppable, immune to pain and not afraid to die--because to finish the program, they would have to already be dead.
It is only when he wakes up after being killed on a routine Halloween call that Officer Smith begins to learn the awful truth about the true designs of the program, but by then it is too late! Or is it?
After having to listen to recordings of his own funeral, and reliving important moments of his life in flashbacks, Jason learns that he now has a new name, and a new mission, as Agent Rusty Bones.
Join Rusty as he learns just how twisted the Omega Project is, as he learns to adjust to his new body and environment, and as he discovers the awful truths about the mysterious deaths of his teammates and about his strange new (un)life.
Will he be able to escape the clutches of the evil Drake Kampmann and his henchmen? Will he be able to save one of the few people who has offered to help him?
Join Rusty on his quest for freedom!

"As usual, if you're waiting for a jailbreak, wait for one of the prominent hackers to confirm whether or not the new update is jailbreak safe."
Are they really so close to a jailbreak that they're announcing which firmwares are jailbreak safe? The fact that this sentence was included makes me wonder if the evad3rs have already found an exploit and are now testing it.
I'm pretty confident there will be a jailbreak. It just takes a lot longer than it used to. I think it was February for the iPhone 5 last time. I would imagine it will be close to that again. Everything I've read is that they have exploits that can be used to root iOS...it's just that they have to package it so that it's easy enough for everyone to use. Also, 7.1 is rumored...so they may be waiting to see if the exploits still work in 7.1...if they do, why waste these exploits before that? (Since Apple will patch those holes should the exploits be used before 7.1.)
I've heard it was safe to update. But I really don't care. Once I found out there was an update I went and updated ASAP. I don't really care for a jailbreak now. iOS 7 added most of the things I used to jailbreak for.
Jailbreak could induce instability and have seen that. Am sticking to IOS from factory. Every enhancement from jailbreak community for iPhone now seems to be available. Would rather have stability.

Well the McCain campaign said that it didn't support racial politics,he clearly forgot to discuss this with Sarah Palin; who seems to have no problem with the word nigger. Continuing on with your speech and failing to correct the person who used such inflammatory language only confirms that when she used the term "real Americans", what she meant was white Americans. Between the taunts of "kill him", monkeys dressed with Obama labels and now catcalls of nigger. is it any wonder that Palin rallies are beginning to look more and more like new age KKK seminars. News flash: black Americans are citizens who have the right to vote. Continually engaging in racial politics by failing to disavow words like nigger will only only help to ensure that you are headed back to Alaska on Novemeber 5.

I have been dealing with Python for some time now (couple of weeks) and I decided I will try to go for an entirely new project now for myself. I am going to create a generator that will create a random star according to real life data!
I did this before and it worked quite well just using the if / while statements and creating and assigning variables. But now that I am dealing with Objects I wanted to remake it but I ran into a problem I am having trouble with understanding.
The code I have for now looks like this:
- Code: Select all
class Star:
#The template class for all of the stars
def __init__(self, number, name, random, type): #size, luminosity, temperature)
self.number = number
self.name = name
self.random = random
self.type = type
# self.size = size
# self.luminosity = luminosity
# self.temperature = temperature
def descriptionStar(self):
print("The local star does not cross-match any star in the databanks")
print("- adding new data in the database -")
print("new data succesfully added in the database")
print("The local star is marked as:", self.number, self.name,)
if self.random <= 30:
setattr(self, "temperature", random.randrange(20))
setattr(self, "type", "O")
elif self.random > 30 and <= 130030:
setattr(self, "temperature", random.randrange(40))
setattr(self, "type", "B")
elif self.random > 130030 and <= 730030:
setattr(self, "temperature", random.randrange(60))
setattr(self, "type", "A")
But when I test it I get "invalid syntax" error on: elif self.random > 30 and <= 130030:
Is Python unable to combine if statements and def statements while in Class?
Also general advice is welcome! I know that objects are an entire new, broad chapter and this project will take some time to finish so if you see a way of streamlining this, go right ahead!
Thank you very much!

Eminem still alive, releases video
Eminem released his latest video "We Made You" today which includes him making fun of various celebs from Kim Kardashian to Jessica Simpson and offering to bang Sarah Palin. That said, I'd probably enjoy this more if I were an ironically racist drop-out working at Wal-Mart in Alabama. Ha ha, just kidding. It could be any Wal-Mart.
EDIT: Posted new video. Should do the trick.

Gloucestershire County League
Kingswood 1 Thornbury Town 2
AFTER a four week lay-off, Thornbury Town got back to action on Saturday and secured an important win at Kingswood to move out of the bottom two.
In a game that was badly affected by wind and torrential rain, good football was at a premium, but Thorns did their best to keep the ball down on the deck and play their usual passing game.
Town had the perfect start, taking the lead in spectacular fashion after just four minutes. A Nathan Irwin shot following a penetrating run from Dan Thompson rebounded off a defender but straight to Steve Thompson lurking 30 yards out. His first time shot flew into the net past the helpless Chris Fox in the Kingswood goal.
Kingswood recovered from the setback and, whilst they enjoyed a fair amount of possession, they did not carve out any clear-cut chances and it was always Thornbury who looked the most likely to score.
Fox saved well from Dan Thompson and moments later Josh Pirie was put clear but although his shot only found the side netting.
On the half-hour mark Kingswood had their first shot on target, Alex Lippiatt saving well from Ryan Mudd, but it was Thorns who extended their lead ten minutes before the break when Dan Thompson latched on to a Ricki Lippiatt clearance and out-paced his marker before sliding the ball to Pirie, who steered his shot round Fox and into the far corner of the net.
Town then gifted Kingswood a goal five minutes later when a mix-up between Tom Webb and Alex Lippiatt saw Mudd go clear and he steered the ball into the empty net.
Luke Franklin almost restored Thorns' two goal advantage moments before the break but Fox pulled off a good save and the ball was cleared.
The second half was dominated by the monsoon conditions and whilst Kingswood enjoyed a lot of possession they rarely troubled a determined Town defence.
Thorns continued to look dangerous on the break and Franklin found the side netting early on before a couple of Dan Thompson efforts were comfortably saved by Fox.
Midway through the half a Kingswood attack down the right saw Mudd fire in a shot from 20 yards that Lippiatt did well to get two hands to and push the ball away from danger.
Town will be hoping to build on that valuable win this Saturday if the wet weather relents, when they entertain Henbury, 2pm.
Kingswood visit Bristol Academy.

Topic: My mother...
Hi everyone,
My name is Cooper, I am almost 15 years old. I live in Oklahoma. My mom, Brenda, passed away of this dreadful cancer on September 25, 2004. She was 49 years old. I'd like to share the story of my mom with you all.
For quite some time she had experienced a pain in her right arm. Somewhere in 2003 or early 2004 she went to the doctor to find out what was wrong. It was a dull pain that seemed to have bothered her a lot, but not all the time. They didn't find anything wrong with her and the pain continued. On April 27, 2004 she went to the doctor again to get a full body check (or something). That is when they found the cancer in her liver. I have no idea whether the pain in her arm had anything to do with it, but I know they found "legions" (spots) on her liver. They told her she was in Stage 4, which seems to be the last stage (i just found out tonight from http://www.cancerbackup.org.uk/Cancerty … uctcancer). She was a very determined person. Very strong. She fought with everything she had.
I helped her out all of summer '04. I got a lot closer to her during that time, seeing as I was the one who took care of her each day. My dad would be at work til about 6p.m. and my brothers were gone most days or didn't want to see her suffering.
In July, she had scheduled an appointment with M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX. She had planned everything and was about to start packing...when she got a call from them telling her that the doctor who specialized in her type of cancer had gone on vacation.......I was the only one home that day and ....let's just say I was very very frightened and sad. It was a bad deal. She got very angry with M.D. Anderson and didn't associate with them from that day on (of course that is after she called back and chewed them out...haha..).
Sometime that summer she spent a lot of time seeing different doctors and I don't really remember where all she went. Now, i'm not completely sure on all the information but i'm pretty sure that I remember, sorry for any mess-ups. I do know that she found out about a treatment illegal in the U.S. because it includes giving the patient a fever to boil the cancer out of the body...i don't know... I'd have to ask my dad. Anyway, that treatment was in Bad Aibling, Germany...and she left during the hurricanes in Atlanta, GA on September 16, 2004 ( a thursday). I had just started junior high and it was really weird not being able to tell her all about it. She flew from Oklahoma City to Atlanta and had to spend the night there because of the weather. The airport was planning on sending the passengers on the flight to Munich to paris and then boarding another flight to munich from there, but my dad pleaded with them to go straight to Munich because my mom didn't seem to have much left in her and there was little time. They obliged and my mom spent one week in Germany in the most beautiful place she had ever been....I got to talk to her a few times...she could barely talk, but it was better than nothing. I really thought she would come back, and I was shocked to hear at 11:37p.m. on Sept 24, 2004 that she had passed away on the morning of September 25, 2004 at around 9 or 10 o'clock.
She was a great woman. She is deeply missed.
Thank you for reading her story, if you have any questions, i'd be glad to answer them....but keep in mind i'm only 15 so i don't know tons of medical terms.
Thanks for reading,
p.s.: Oh! I forgot to mention... I do know that she had ulcerative colitis and had an ileostomy when she was around 21 or so. if you don't know what that is, look here--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ileostomy


text: Eastern themes meet Western techniques in the unique works of three female Korean-American artists. God's work as Creator is imprinted on human beings. Expression is greatly varied from one culture to another and from individual to individual. The three creators featured in this exhibit reflect on their own journeys within a specific Korean-American culture. Yet they testify to the needs, emotions, and longings common to all people. Each artist has depicted the blessing and healing that comes through a personal relationship with the Savior. This exhibition is installed in honor of the 7th Korean World Mission Conference, which meets every four years and draws thousands of Koreans from around the world to the Wheaton College campus. The BGC Museum installation of this exhibit marks two of the largest single works to ever be installed in its gallery. Esther Kim's King of Kings is over 13 ft. high and wide and is pieced together from 80 individual canvases. Sun Choi's never-to-be-repeated installation, Journey of Love, spans the entirety of a 33-ft. wall, utilizes of 5,000 pins and overflows onto adjacent walls, baseboards, and ceilings (see the installation process in the slideshow below). We hope that these pieces will illuminate your own encounter with Jesus and encourage you to walk with the Creator. Walking with the Creator MEET THE ARTISTS Sun Choi immigrated to the United States in 1994 and now lives and works in the Chicago area. With degrees from Sung Shin Women's University in Seoul, South Korea (BFA) and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA, MFA), she is an award-winning artist whose work has been exhibited in the United States, Canada, and Korea. She is a published author and illustrator, an exhibit curator, and current president of the Korean-American Artist Association of Chicago. In recent years, she made use of dried food and discarded herbs as a medium for her installations. As part of her own healing process, Choi began to explicitly embrace sorrow in her work. She describes it "like an oyster that makes a pearl out of pain. Through my suffering, I came to experience the fragility of life. Jesus died for our sin and offers strength that helps us resolve life's struggles. I want to express, through my work, that Jesus' healing sacrifice is the way to make order out of chaos and bring beauty from pain." Rev. Dr. Esther DongJin Kim was born in South Korea to a mother who had greatly desired a child for almost 20 years. After a Christian neighbor encouraged them to pray, her parents witnessed God's miraculous answer and came to a deep Christian faith. She has degrees from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (BFA), and Northern Illinois University (MA), Northern Baptist (MDiv) and McCormick Theological Seminary (DMin). Her pastoral calling is to help artists discern and use their artistic talents for God's will and glory in their lives, leading her to found the Hallelujah Christian Art Association in Chicago. Kim has been painting the portrait of Jesus for nearly 40 years. She believes fervently in the spiritual influence of art. "God is the greatest artist of all time. And as our loving Father, He has passed on his creative talent to us. Whatever our talents may be, we must use them to minister Christ's love to the world. Even when we are working for God's mission, we will have troubles. Do not give up. Look not at your feet, but to God for encouragement and strength." Myungsook Kim was born in South Korea and earned degrees from Ewha Woman's University in Seoul (BFA, MEd) and the Cleveland Institute of Art (BFA). She lives and works in Washington DC area as art instructor at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, and served as president of the Han-Mee Artists Association. She shows work regularly in galleries in the US and around the world. By adopting the Asian themes of nature and heaven into textured lines of the physical and abstract forms of the spiritual, Kim's work juxtaposes Eastern and Western styles, creating its own multicultural yet unifying quality. "One of the most important elements in East Asian art in the line. My painting echo and emphasize the calligraphic line. This is a continuous, living line made with one stroke. Like the flowing lines of a delicate flower, God's love flows from east to west and from west to east, permeating all people with peace and hope."

Date Climbed: Jun 28, 1999
|My first attempt at anything beyond a ski lift. I had NO CLUE about how much conditioning I would need and thus made it as far as the heart before turning back! I came back the following year, in shape and fell in love with mountaineering. Much beter the second, more educated time around!

|We climbed Shasta via Avalanche Gulch back in July of 2001. There was very little snow that year: no snow at all up to Helen and "Helen Lake" was actually open so you did not have to melt snow. It was very cold and windy on top but all 4 of us made it. Great experience!

Date Climbed: Aug 12, 2008
|What a great mountain to climb in calm winds and clear skies! 14hr total trip time from Bunny Flats, 8hrs up, 1hr at top, 5hrs down. Route has neat surprises in the summer without snow like lots of choss rock to contend with (sometimes 1step up, 1/2slide down in upper gulch), a small sandstone passage way to get above red cliffs (at thumb rock lookout), and small field of ice to cross before getting to the summit pyramid (ice ax & crampons not really needed). Class 3 handholds to get to the summit register box ...that's going straight up face. A leg burner more so on descent and very dusty due to the rock slides and choss. Neat seeing all the jetliners and Horizon's Dash 8 zipping along overhead.

Hiked up the Brewer Creek trail and made camp at about 9,300 feet. Started climbing at 1:00 am, summited at 9:00 and returned to camp by 1:00 pm. Soft snow conditions at the top of the route caused some post holing, but made for an easy descent when glisading.

|Lack of sleep on Clear Creek
Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2008
|I attempted to climb Shasta via the Clear Creek route, as all the other routes were melted out. The weather was bad on the hike to base camp, but still spectacular. We turned back at 11K because we were all sleep deprived, and I was getting the worst of it due to my ~2 hours of fruitless sleep combined with the altitude. I had also carried the second heaviest, and relatively heaviest pack up the the base camp. Even though I had extensively studied the mountain, I was unable to comprehend the effort involved in climbing it, due to my lack of experience in mountaineering.

Quit Victoria has welcomed Labor's commitment to reducing tobacco caused illness by increasing funding for quit smoking programs by $21 million.
Executive Director Todd Harper said Labor's promise to inject an extra $21 million into quit smoking programs and mass media campaigns would help reach the goal of a reduction in smoking rates to 15% by 2010.
""Mass media, particularly television, advertising, is the most effective way to encourage people to quit smoking,"" said Mr Harper.
"The success of sustained quit smoking campaigns internationally has proven that this form of intensive and targeted advertising can significantly reduce the proportions of Australians smoking."
"The announcement of new funds for far-reaching mass media campaigns ensures all Australians, in both rural and metropolitan areas, will have the opportunity to receive the benefits of the quit smoking message."
Mr Harper said the additional funds in tobacco control would mean a long-term saving for the Australian healthcare system of $1.14 billion.
"A study published recently in The Medical Journal of Australia* revealed a reduction in the proportion of Australians smoking by 5% (from 20% to 15%) could mean a 17% drop in cumulative PBS subsidies."
"The savings in both the PBS and the long-term hospital and medical costs caused by smoking related diseases make Labor's proposed investment in tobacco control a sensible economic move that will benefit the entire community"
"Smoking kills around 4700 people in Victoria each year, given this it is refreshing to see public health being put ahead of the profit-driven interests of big tobacco companies on the political agenda" said Mr Harper.

OBEY Clothing teamed up with Suicidal Tendencies for release a clothing collection celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the release of the first Suicidal Tendencies record. We took the iconic graphics of Ric Clayton and the original line drawings done by Lance Mountain as the base of the collection. The idea was to pay homage to the original artists behind the Suicidal graphics as well as celebrate the history and influence Suicidal Tendencies has had on Shepard and OBEY.
From Shepard -
"I heard that Lance had found his original Suicidal drawings in a drawer after nearly 30 years. I saw the drawings and marveled at the clarity of the line work and how much the images had degraded (in true scuzzy, punk fashion) over the years. I reached out to Lance to ask if I could buy them and we began to talk about a potential Lance/Obey/Suicidal art collaboration. Glen (Friedman), who I have worked with on many projects, introduced me to Jim Muir and we began a limited edition collaboration for Dogtown Skateboards that used my illustration of Jim based on one of Glen's photographs. I talked to Jim about my chat Lance and he brought his brother Mike Muir of Suicidal by my studio to hang. Mike liked the collaboration idea and I now have the honor of presenting the 30th anniversary of their first album. I feel very lucky to know all parties who helped inspire and bring this project together. Thank you Lance Mountain, Glen E. Friedman, Jim Muir and especially Mike Muir, the creative force behind Suicidal."
About Suicidal Tendencies and their self titled first record:
Judging from their name, Suicidal Tendencies were never afraid of a little controversy. Formed in Venice, CA, during the early '80s, the group's leader from the beginning was outspoken vocalist Mike Muir. The outfit specialized in vicious hardcore early on -- building a huge following among skateboarders, lending a major hand in the creation of skatepunk -- before turning their focus eventually to thrash metal. Early on, the group (whose original lineup included Muir, guitarist Grant Estes, bassist Louiche Mayorga, and drummer Amery Smith) found it increasingly difficult to book shows, due to rumors of its members' affiliation with local gangs and consistent violence at their performances. The underground buzz regarding Suicidal Tendencies grew too loud for labels to ignore though, as the quartet signed on with the indie label Frontier; issuing Muir and company's classic self-titled debut in 1983. The album quickly became the best-selling hardcore album up to that point; its best-known track, "Institutionalized," was one of the first hardcore punk videos to receive substantial airplay on MTV, and was eventually used in the Emilio Estevez cult classic movie Repo Man, as well as in an episode for the hit TV show Miami Vice (for which the group made a cameo appearance).
Suicidal Tendencies went to release numerous records and classic recordings such as Possessed to Skate on Join the Army, You Can't Bring Me Down on Lights, Camera, Revolution among anthers. They remain active touring throughout the world and an inspiration to musicians, skaters and cycos everywhere.

Intel's Haswell 4th Generation Processor Refresh: Prices Leakedby Ian Cutress on 3/4/2014 6:22 AM EST

piroroadkill - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkExtremely uninspiring refresh. Reply
damianrobertjones - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - link...? Maybe there's more to these new parts than clock speed Reply
ericloewe - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkThe only thing that would make sense is a revised memory controller that can actually use 16GB UDIMMs - however, since that is a rather large update, we'd probably have heard something by now... Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkI suppose this memory controller upgrade won't happen, because this requires changes in the silicon logic, and I suppose "Refresh" uses essentially identical (OLD) silicon dies - it can be even the same C0 stepping (for quad core parts).
In a few words, I think it's going to be like Core i7-2600K -> Core i7-2700K:
same stepping, essentially nothing new, just 100 MHz overall frequency increase. Reply
mczak - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkAll mobo makers are saying there's new bios for proper support of "Haswell refresh" parts, which suggests these are indeed a new stepping.
But I wouldn't really expect new functionality neither. Reply
MrBlonde - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkThe BIOSes need to be updated with the new CPU IDs for "proper support", not really an indication that the CPUs use a new stepping. Reply
Cellar Door - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkI agree, I got a 4670K last summer in anticipation for this refresh - as in a new stepping, ironed out K parts, with less of a silicon lottery. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for now but it looks like that is not going to happen. Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkBeing more realistic, I would not expect "ironed out K parts, with less of a silicon lottery".
It's probably going to be the same C0 stepping with the same poor paste between the chip and heat-spreader. Just +100 MHz in stock, which for K parts means essentially nothing (go to BIOS and add these +100 MHz in 2 minutes) :) Reply
lurker22 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkIt's what happens with no significant competition in the x86 market Reply
KAlmquist - Wednesday, March 05, 2014 - linkMy thoughts exactly. Intel is lowering prices on the Pentium models a bit, but if you need anything faster... Reply
HardwareDufus - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkMeh,
Thought we'd see HD5200e as the IGP on an unlocked desktop part for a mid cycle refresh.
Peter Reply
S3anister - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkThat Core i7-4790 looks really attractive for a f@h box. Reply
SetiroN - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkIt does? And here I was thinking it had a 3% frequency difference from what we've already had for an year...
Thank you Intel, this is a folding revolution! Reply
Eurasianman - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkSlight typo: Core i5-4771 should be Core i7-4771 Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkNo new K edition parts? Nothing to really interest me then. Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkNew K edition parts (like Core i7-4790K & Core i5-4690K) are supposed to come later, but their sense is diminishing, because the old ones were already unlocked, and new ones probably won't overclock any better than the old ones. So, these new K parts will be released probably just for the formal completeness of the new ("Refresh") lineup. Reply
fokka - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkwould only be a real improvement if they soldered on the heat spreader. very underwhelming update. Reply
MrSpadge - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkThey used to roll out small frequency increases of existing chips every few months, now they're bundling them all together and call it a refresh. Big deal, not. The only differences between the former times are:
- longer refresh cycle
- smaller frequency increase
- lower price cuts Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkI guess, there will be no price cuts this time - just the newer ("Refresh") models will displace the previous ones - with no real price change at all. Reply
Ken_g6 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkI see one piece of big news: There's finally an Intel chip that officially runs at 4GHz. I wonder if we'll ever see 5?
But no Crystal Well parts? 0-well. Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - link"There's finally an Intel chip that officially runs at 4GHz".
To be more precise, there finally going to be an Intel desktop "MAINSTREAM" ~$320 chip that officially runs UP TO 4.0 GHz.
Because formally UP TO 4.0 GHz (stock - without OC) was first reached by Intel relatively long time ago on the desktop:
1) There was Core i7-3970X, running UP TO 4.0 GHz released back in November 2012, but it was an "EXTREME" $1000+
2) There is Core i7-4960X, running UP TO 4.0 GHz released in September 2013, but it is an "EXTREME" $1000+ Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - link"I wonder if we'll ever see 5 [GHz]?"
I think, NO. No (even UP TO - in few threads active Turbo) 5 GHz mainstream user CPUs at stock (without OC) in the foreseeable future - not on the current stack of silicon manufacturing technologies, at least. Reply
extide - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkThere was also an E3 Xeon, I think v2 and/or v3 series that was up to 4Ghz stock as well. Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkThat's right about E3 Xeons (I just limited myself with desktop parts in that post)
There is an even 3.7/4.1 stock Ivy Bridge Xeon E3-1290 v2.
That's about the formal top frequency at stock for Intel. Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkI meant, Xeon E3 is formally a server/workstation part, despite often working in regular desktop motherboards because it shares the same silicon die with the corresponding generation of desktop i7's. Reply
jardows2 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkLet me know when they release a version that does not have integrated graphics. Kind of a waste to put in when you are using a high-end discreet video card. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkBuy LGA2011 parts if you want IGPless. Discrete GPU users aren't a large enough part of the consumer market to justify a separate product line (and all the validation, inventory, etc costs that come with one) any more. Reply
jimjamjamie - Saturday, March 08, 2014 - linkThe i5-3350P may interest you Reply
anonymous_user - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkWhat does the HD 4000 Series mean for Core i3-4150? Is it a downgrade from Core i3-4130's HD 4400 or is it the same? Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkProbably, it will be the same HD 4400 as in case of Core i3-4130, because both are Core i3-41xx series. Reply
iwod - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkNo News on Haswell -E ? Reply
BadThad - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkListen Intel! All we really want are Celeron and Pentium K parts with unlimited multipliers. It really sucks that they have pretty much turned overclocking into the "pay to play" arena. We want a repeat of the 300A! Reply
BadThad - Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - linkAnyone else here dreaming of a $50 processor running at 4.5+GHz? Reply
TiGr1982 - Wednesday, March 05, 2014 - linkNow, Captain Obvious answers your question and rules the stage:
OK, suppose you have it - say, dual core Celeron with no HT and 2 MB L3 Cache.
Then it will overclock nicely beyond 4.5 GHz, and you will get better single-threaded performance than locked i7 at 3.9 turbo (going to be4.0 soon with Refresh).
However, in striking difference with Celeron 300A times, NOW the key point is the big CPUs costing $$$ are multicore and multithreaded.
But with just 2 cores and no HT, your modern overclocked Celeron will have the overall maximum performance just 2 times its single threaded performance (at best). In multithreading tasks (games included these days), even being overclocked, your overclocked Celeron will still be no match to the STOCK frequency Core i5 (which has 6 MB L3 cache instead of your 2 MB), not even mentioning the mainstream LGA115x i7 with 8 HT threads and 8 MB L3.
So, because of multithreading (no less than 4 cores/threads is serious these days), your overclocked to 4.5+ GHz $50 Celeron will perform overall around $120 Core i3. No better than that. Not bad, but no overall comparison to Core i5 or especially Core i7. Reply
TiGr1982 - Wednesday, March 05, 2014 - linkSo, Celeron and the likes are for modern "typewriters"/web surfing :) Reply
fteoath64 - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkThis is what you get when there is no competition in the cpu space!. Yeah 100Mhz increase there. Fast enough already. Not even giving HD 5000 or 5100 graphics upgrade to i3 and i5 which might just negate a discrete gpu purchase for some. Talk about doing little to nothing!.
AMD's APU is going in a different direction as Intels, so the segmentation of the market is just fractured for each to carve out their own niche. This is actually a dangerous duopoly cartel in the x86 world. This stagnation is likely going to last for a while as each tried to maximise their current process (Intel on 22nm, AMD on 28nm SPH) while the PC market declines further.
So is Intel going the route of HSA in the near future or not ?. That is something they cannot really ignore unless they have a better solution than HSA up their sleeves ?. Sure there is time to see AMD ramping up the software side of things on HSA and tries to diversify the lower end segment. Intel can rest on their laurels and cut prices without doing much!. Tick-Tock ?!. There is Tock and more tocks we are going to hear and not a Tick until their 14nm kicks in whenever Intel feels it can reap more gains in the market. Not on a down turn but maybe on the up swing. Reply
LancerVI - Wednesday, March 26, 2014 - linkBeen using Intel for a while now and for obvious reasons, but I have to say, this is non-sense. A new motherboard is required for refreshes now!!! That's just plain outrageous!!! I don't care how slow AMD is, it might be time to build an Athlon box. Reply
OCguy - Friday, April 04, 2014 - linkThere is definitely word of K series processor...the article was right here on AT:

This article shows you how to bring data from an Access desktop database into an Access web app, so you can share it with friends and colleagues in an internet browser.
Note: This article doesn't apply to Access desktop databases. For more information about importing data into Access desktop databases, see Import data into an Access database.
Before you get started, here are some things to consider:
Access will not import table relationships, calculated columns, validation rules, default values, attachment fields, OLE object fields, and certain other legacy data types into the web app.
Access will preserve lookups, so if you have related tables, make sure the relationships are established by using lookup fields before you import the tables into the web app.
Those preliminaries aside, here's how to do the import:
Create a new Access web app or open an existing web app in Access. (If you're viewing an existing app in a browser, click Settings > Customize in Access).
If the Add Tables page isn't displayed, click Home > Table.
Under Create a table from an existing data source, click Access.
Click Browse, select the Access desktop database you're importing from, and click Open.
Click OK, select the tables you want to import, and click OK again.
Close the wizard.
Access displays the new table(s) on the left side of the screen, and creates default views for each one. At this point, the best thing to do is click Home > Launch App. In the browser, click the new tables and views to see how everything looks. To make changes to the default views, close the browser and customize the web app in Access.

A former Weybridge Vandals captain has promised the 2015 Rugby World Cup will unite the English game in the same way the London 2012 Olympics did.
And organising committee chairman Andy Cosslett, who skippered the Brownacres club in the mid-80s, reckons that starts with enlisting the help of the country's Games Makers.
"This is a big event. It is £200 million worth of tickets. It is in 13 or 14 venues across the country. It is the world's third biggest sporting event," said Cosslett.
"We want a rugby tournament that is full of the values of the game, that is delivered in a way that attracts and talks to different audiences.
"We need a lot of volunteers. Some people from the Olympics have already put their names forward.
"We'd like rugby people already involved in volunteering in the game at the clubs.
"Six or eight months from now that process will start."

For decades, developers have eyed the Rancho Capistrano property – a 170-acre grassy island floating among neighborhoods, businesses, railroad tracks and an interstate.
Builders have scrapped plan after plan for the land, intended as a planned community according to the city zoning code because of a serious challenge: it's hard to get inside with a creek running along its main public right-of-way, a private train crossing intended for low traffic as its only entrance point, and railroads and a freeway butted up against the entire eastern side.
Despite these challenges, development could be in the ranch's future. So what lies ahead?
Developer Troy Bourne, of Continuing Life Communities, has been in escrow longer than two years over purchase of 150 acres of the land. He wants to build an upscale retirement community on a portion of land – about 75 acres, including about 25-30 acres of open space in the development – but not until he's guaranteed access.
"It's an upscale retirement community that offers a lot of convenient services, a number of different housing options, including single-family homes and access to a full continuum of care, including skilled nursing if ever needed," Bourne said.
He can't direct traffic through the land's only existing access point, a private train crossing off Camino Capistrano, because the California Public Utilities Commission said in a letter to the OCTA they would not support making the crossing public in 2010. The CPUC suggested the developer instead build a road over the tracks farther south, and close the current crossing. But building an overpass or underpass on this land, nestled at the very tip of San Juan Capistrano, wouldn't be cost effective, Bourne said, because of the stream on one side and the freeway on the other.
As a result, the property has remained in limbo for years. Now, there are two major possibilities for the land: leave it undeveloped or seek alternative access, which Bourne said will likely involve routing traffic through a neighboring city.
Currently, 20 acres of Saddleback Church's Rancho Capistrano serve as a retreat center. The church also leases fields at the lower end of the property to private soccer leagues. The 170 acres of land is tax exempt because the church is a religious organization.
Whether or not the land is developed, Saddleback Church will continue its retreat center at the location. But if the development were to go forward, the soccer fields would disappear eventually, Bourne said.
"The soccer fields would still stay open for years, but eventually they would close when our retirement community was finished," Bourne said.
But San Juan Capistrano Mayor Pro Tem Sam Allevato, who is in favor of the development, said the city would work with the soccer organizations to find alternate fields – adding that the city can't control what happens on private property.
"There's other places for soccer fields, and the property doesn't belong to us," Allevato said.
But all the soccer traffic brings the crossing beyond the scope of use it was designed for, said Laura Scheper of the OCTA, though she added "the crossing is safe."
"There are issues with the location and configuration that could cause vehicles to back up on the track. Because of that, our license with Saddleback is based on limited use," Scheper said. "We believe they are exceeding the use outlined in the agreement and we are working with them to either seek alternative access or utilize a flagman for large events."
Vehicles stopping on the tracks have been the source of two accidents in the crossing's history, Federal Railroad Administration records show, in 1982 and 1997.
In the later case, an Amtrak train was traveling 90 mph when it hit an unoccupied semi truck parked on the rails.
The speed of the Amtrak trains are one reason the California Public Utilities Commission denied the crossing's conversion from private to public in 2010, along with anticipated expansion of rail traffic.
"The existing crossing even under an improved configuration would present safety concerns on this Metrolink line," the commission wrote in its letter to the OCTA. "This is the highest speed track in Metrolink's system, up to 90 mph. Any advantages of added convenience and financial benefit are outweighed by the dangers and hazards of an at-grade crossing."
Saddleback Church declined comment for this story.
If the land were to change hands – from a religious organization to a private landowner – Rancho Capistrano could finally be used in a way the city intended, Allevato said.
"We would like to have it brought onto the tax rolls by having a private owner who would be paying property tax, whereas now it's owned by a nonprofit, a religious organization," Allevato said.
But how exactly does that happen?
Without public access over the rails, Bourne wanted access through an existing overpass on Paseo De Colinas onto Star Drive and through the nearby Mercedes Benz dealership, a city staff report shows. The plan was to seek a zoning variance to allow the dealership to convert the dealership's private road into the main vein onto Rancho Capistrano.
Mercedes Benz of Laguna Niguel Pat Bolter said he had no comment, other than the fact there had been discussions with the developer.
Though it might seem unusual, a car dealer might be interested in allowing a retirement community alternative access to the property because a portion could be zoned as a business district – meaning another dealership could pop up in San Juan Capistrano.
"I can say that San Juan Capistrano has been open to the idea of a portion of the ranch being used as an additional car dealership, the portion immediately adjacent to the Mercedes Benz," Bourne said.
Laguna Niguel city officials there say if they are to provide the roadway for San Juan Capistrano, they want to see some of the financial benefit development would bring, Mayor Robert Ming said.
"I think if there is new tax revenue that comes from the project, and if San Juan is willing to part with some of that to make the improvements that are necessary and to do the outreach to the community that would be impacted by the local traffic, there's probably a way to work this out," Ming said.
Former Laguna Niguel City Manager Tim Casey said from a city staff point of view, it doesn't really make sense for traffic to go through Laguna Niguel.
"If the applicant wants to develop something in San Juan Capistrano, they should find a way to access the site in San Juan Capistrano," Casey said. "It would be so much easier if everybody could agree that the only logical way to access that property and allow additional development is through a proper, safely designed, safely operated public at-grade crossing. If that was the focus, we wouldn't be having this conversation."
For Allevato, he just hopes the parties involved can come to an agreement and the property can finally be put to uses intended when the city was founded.
"That property is zoned exactly for that use, the zoning is perfect," Allevato said. "Let's get it built."

Time Schedule:
Philip Edward Howard
Seattle Campus
Provides students an understanding of policies that shape national communication processes and systems. Uses comparative analysis to identify both similarities and differences among media structures of nations at different levels of development. Primary emphasis on broadcast media. Offered: jointly with COM 420/POL S 468.
Class description
Communication patterns around the world are being reconfigured by digital and social media. Public policy shapes the innovation of new media technologies, the organization of cultural production, and the diffusion of global media. At the same time, public policy makers themselves need communication strategies, because global media can make or break new regulatory ideas and can be a source of feedback on existing public policy. New communication technologies such as blogs, online communities, and social media have an impact on public opinion and traditional print and broadcast media have a changing role in political discourse. Today, digital media has a key role in shaping our economic, political and cultural lives.
The range of phenomena studied across the social and policy sciences is impressive: the global information economy, the organizational behavior of firms, and the dot-com boom; the structure of the world system, the bureaucratic efficiency of states, the international politics of technical standards; cultural production and consumption, intercultural communication, and ownership diversity of digital media systems. The use of new ICTs, such as mobile phones and the internet, is also being studied in different contexts, from small and local organizational field sites such as work places, households, and schools, to large institutions such as states, firms, social movements and justice systems. In addition, there are new social forms of organization in cyberspace, forms of organization that help define and indeed constitute information societies.
We will critically explore the concepts often used in discussions of contemporary international political economy, including "network society", "digital divide," and "information society". We will also review the theories of modernization, dependency, and underdevelopment that have been used to understand the problems and prospects of development. Case studies from around the world will be used wherever possible. Students will have significant freedom to develop their own research interests through a paper on a topic of their own choosing. Through diverse readings, students will also learn about the various methodologies for understanding global media and communication.
What is an information society? How do well do these theories—proposed to help explain transitions from agrarian to industrial society and the evolution of late industrial capitalism—help explain the network society, open society or information society? Is e-government a straightforward means of building state capacity and further rationalizing public bureaucracies, or are there signs of a deeper transformation in the institution of the state? What is the role of blogs, wikis and other digital media systems in the culture and news diets of people living in authoritarian regimes? While the role of mobile phones and the internet in democratic movements has been feted from Iqaluit to Indonesia, no political revolution has occurred because of the internet. But today, are democratic transitions possible without it? How has the international high tech sector been structured to limit the types of technology production and consumption in different countries? If there are persistent international institutions for extracting natural resource wealth from poor countries, do these institutions have a similar role in extracting information, innovation, or ingenuity from poor countries?
To cover and debate themes we will use a range of digital video, audio and textual artifacts, including interactive Prezis, discussion boards, and streaming content.

'Dear leader' in White House has little business experience
During these hot summer days, the little people have their Kool-Aid and lemonade stands set up—making and selling and giving change.
Already these young people, ages 6 to 10, have more business experience than the 'dear leader' in the White House.

Donny George, the former head of Iraq's National Museum and a leading figure in the recovery of antiquities looted from the country's museums and archaeological sites following the 2003 U.S.- led invasion of Iraq, died in March after suffering a heart attack at the Toronto airport. He was 60 years old.
George, an Assyrian Christian born with the last name Youkhanna in the town of Habbaniya in central Iraq, helped lead the international campaign to recover the more than 15,000 objects stolen from the National Museum in Baghdad at the start of the Iraq War in March 2003.* Named the museum's head later that year and then chairman of Iraq's State Board of Antiquities and Heritage in 2005, George also traveled throughout the Middle East, Europe and the U.S. to increase awareness of the vulnerability of Iraq's rich archaeological heritage to looters and other destructive forces in the post-Saddam Hussein era.
As a Christian and former member of Saddam's Baath Party, however, George was targeted and threatened by extremist groups among Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority. He fled Iraq with his family in 2006 and eventually made his way to New York, where he was named a visiting professor of anthropology and Asian studies at Stony Brook University.

I would like to wish my wonderful CC family a very Merry Christmas. I can't help but feel sad for all the precious loved ones we have lost this past year. May tomorrow be a day of happiness and also thinking back on wonderful memories of those that are now no longer with us. I also hope those that are really struggling with illness can feel how much they are loved. Bless all of you.

General Assembly: Statement by Ambassador Thoms on the Humanitarian Situation in Syria
(as delivered:)
"Mr President,
I thank the President of the General Assembly for heeding our call by convening today's meeting. Many thanks also to the distinguished speakers.
I wish to align myself with the statement made on behalf of the European Union.
We applaud Australia, Luxemburg and Jordan for having initiated Security Council resolution 2139. Its unanimous adoption sends a strong message. But support in the Council is not enough. What is needed now is compliance with the resolution on the ground. All parties to the conflict, especially the Syrian authorities, must allow for rapid, safe and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance, including medical assistance, to every man, woman and child in need. This must include humanitarian access across conflict lines and across borders.
To be clear: the deliberate denial of humanitarian access constitutes a war crime. The same applies to the use of sieges of populated areas and to starvation as a method of warfare.
These crimes must end. Those responsible must be held accountable. We have repeatedly called for the situation to be referred to the International Criminal Court.
Mr. President,
We commend the efforts of the Joint Special Envoy, Ambassador Lakhdar Brahimi. Germany remains committed to a political solution and we continue to believe that only through a political solution it will be possible to end the suffering of the Syrian people.
But we must not allow the Syrian regime to use the Geneva II process as a cover to continue its repression of the Syrian people. Real, tangible results on the ground are required.
It is hard to believe that a regime is committed to peace, while it continues to drop barrel bombs and cluster munition on villages and towns throughout Syria.
While the opposition has shown a great sense of responsibility in Geneva, Damascus has shown no sign of constructive behaviour.
Mr. President,
We do hope that Resolution 2139 will contribute to a reduction of violence and to improving the reach of humanitarian assistance which the Syrian people so urgently need.
The resolution sets out clear benchmarks, these must be taken seriously.
We call on all parties, in particular on those countries still lending their support to the regime in Damascus, to use all their influence to ensure full compliance with Resolution 2139.
Only through a reduction of violence and an improvement of the humanitarian access will it be possible to create the conditions needed to reach a political solution.
I thank you"

|Conceiving of Camilla
New England boater commissions his last yacht.
By Tim Clark — May 2002
Contact an expert custom boatwright, and he'll lead you to an avid boater. Thus, through Warren Barker of Customary Boat in Westport, Massachusetts, I met Charlie Lee, who commissioned the 30'6" full-displacement, plank-and-frame troller-yacht that Barker has been building for nearly four years.
There is no one word for people who commission custom boats, but considering the degree to which they share certain qualities, there should be. Often their concept of boating is unusually broad, stirring them to acquire a wealth of knowledge that can encompass rabbetted joints, obscure composites, advanced electronics, and the nautical traditions of whole coastlines. As a rule they have owned not just one but several boats before commissioning their latest, and over decades they have discovered and filed away lessons from each that now bear on the design of the boat under construction. Perhaps most important, they are a patient lot, willing to trade the quicker gratification of buying a production yacht for the satisfaction of having one constructed exclusively to their specifications. This last virtue is closely related to one final distinguishing trait: Many people who commission a custom yacht love the process.
That pretty well describes Charlie Lee. A financial consultant based in Providence, Rhode Island, Lee, because his father worked internationally, grew up in a miscellany of countries across the globe, but his youth was anchored on the Massachusetts coast in a house to which his family returned every summer. In an adulthood that has included lengthy stints working abroad, Lee has owned an assortment of boats in a variety of places. They have numbered, among others, a 29-foot Elco he kept while in Newport, Rhode Island, a Yamaha racing sailboat and one of the first Kong & Halvorsen trawlers when he lived in Hong Kong, and a 38-foot Newbert and Wallace "lobster cruiser" when he was based in New York. One boat Lee had built, from the earliest-known American design for a cat-rigged sailboat, was once on exhibit at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Mystic, Connecticut, and unusually, the first craft he ever owned was one he commissioned, a 17-foot cat ketch--a two-masted sailboat from 19th-century lines--built for him by a college friend.
I rendezvoused with Lee at Barker's boat shop in February on one of his regular Saturday visits. Customary Boat inhabits a steeply peaked purpose-built wooden barn on Barker's hilltop property overlooking the Westport River. When I arrived the big barn doors were open wide to the winter sun, revealing the yacht--to be christened Camilla--on the building floor. Lee was aboard, studying the progress since his last visit. Barker was chatting with Peter Goodrich, one of Camilla's chief boatwrights. Outside, the eldest of Barker's three children was capering with a trio of spirited dogs, one of which Lee had brought along. I had the impression that I was not alone in regarding the day as a mix of business and pleasure.

Heidi Montag wants to make these bigger
I don't really have a quote or news item to go along with these pictures of Heidi in a tank top yesterday. Just the conventional wisdom that she won't stop enlarging her breasts until they dwarf our yellow sun. Some might say this represents an insecure woman underneath that waxy veneer. While others, like myself, believe this is an obvious attempt to leave Spencer no choice but to finally touch her chest. Because it's Earth now.

Toy Organization Goes Chic with Hable Bushel Basket
Soon after I became pregnant every parent I know started sharing their secrets, namely: kids accumulate a lot of stuff!
Boy were they right. I immediately began collecting toy bins and baskets to make up for the lack of closet space in our house.
I'm a big fan of creative storage and convenient toy boxes, but recently fell in love with the Hable Construction Bushel Baskets, $260 to $275. They are on the pricey side, but offer a toy box in a beautiful, design conscious package.

Ha! Thanks...in time we'll share plenty more. We plan to do all kinds of different and interesting things like the Playoff Odds on MLB.com. We're brainstorming for next year already and have some cool ideas. We're excited too and would love to run off a list, but we need to make sure everything is feasible and we don't promise more than we can handle. Been down that road before!

With the recent redesign (ruination) of Yahoo's sports pages the bseball fan and fantasy community has lost the most assecessible and thorough source of scores, stats and player info. It would be great if some entity, possessing proper respect for the data it is custodian of and those who use it, could fill the vacuum.

RAIL services have been suspended between Bournemouth and Brockenhurst this lunchtime due to a signalling problem at Christchurch.
South West Trains said the problem meant trains were unable to move past signals in both directions.
A replacement bus service has been arranged and will run passengers between Brockenhurst and Bournemouth.
Engineers are now on site and there is no estimate for when normal service may resume,
Earlier today passengers faced delays on services between Weymouth and Bournemouth due to ice on the track at Wareham.
The poor rail conditions meant fewer trains were able to operate and some services were cancelled or terminated short of Weymouth.
Passengers at Wool, Moreton and Upwey were advised to use help points and taxis were arranged to connect with onward journeys.

CandyLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
A long time ago, candy was being sold at three prices: red candy at one for a penny, green candy at two for a penny, and blue candy at three for a penny. Some children (as many boys as girls) were given a total of seven pennies to spend on the candy. Each child received exactly the same value in candy. How many pieces of candy and what color candy did each child receive?
AnswerThere must have been three boys and three girls, each of whom received two pieces of blue candy priced at three for a penny, and one piece of green candy priced at two for a penny. The total cost of the candy would be exactly 7 cents.

Kansas is one of the nation's top agricultural states, and some of its ranchers are producing pro-agriculture parodies that are rocking the nation.
The Peterson Farm Brothers of Assaria, Kan., made national news last year with their hit parody of LMFAO's "I'm Sexy and I know it," but just an hour to the southeast is another rancher – Derek Klingenberg - who recently released his parody of "The Fox" by Ylvis.
In his parody he asks, "What does the farmer say?
Among the lyrics:
"Big blue skies, straight corn rows/working nights and dirty clothes/calloused hands working lands/taking care of fertile soil"
"Next time you eat/ Your Food of your choice/ Listen for the farmers voice."
Watch the video above the full parody or click here to view it on YouTube. Klingenberg also regularly updates a blog, available here.

Playing with books is important step in path to early literacy
Tuesday, April 3, 2012
Early Years blog at Education Week
A 2008 report by the National Institute for Literacy found that sharing books with adults helped young children develop print knowledge and oral language skills, which play a role in later development of reading and writing skills. But don't confuse early literacy with early reading--formal instruction that pushes babies and toddlers to read and write is not developmentally appropriate, experts say.

Forests for People [English]
Insights into Rwanda's Prized Forest Policy
de Neuberger Bertrams
Acerca del libro
Insights into Rwanda's Prized Forest Policy.
In 2011, the World Future Council awarded Rwanda's National Forest Policy with the Future Policy Award. With this award, we want to draw attention to good policies and encourage other countries to introduce comparable measures.
Not only did Rwanda manage to halt deforestation, it succeeded in reversing the trend. Since 1990 the proportion of forested area has increased by 37 per cent. The primary reasons for this trend are massive reforestation projects and plantation in cooperation with the local population. The celebrated policy also includes the clever combination of agriculture and forestry, sustainable resource management, and new education opportunities focusing on forests.
In this book we give an account of Rwanda's prize-winning forest policy and tell of our travels across the Land of a Thousand Hills. This is a story of world records, brave people, rare animals and good solutions for the challenges of our time.
