Hugh "Nomad" Hancock sez,
Strange Company have just released the first episode of their Machinima feature film, BloodSpell, under Creative Commons licensing (including a nice little rant on the page about why they're releasing three years' work for free.)There's some damned fine storytelling and editing/production work here -- machinima is still finding its legs, discovering what it's for, and the Strange Company folks are at the forefront of using the medium for feature-length drama, really getting beyond short comedy pieces. Link, Internet Archive mirror (Thanks, Hugh!)
It's described as a "post-goth punk fantasy adventure" about a world where some people are infected with magic in their blood - when the blood is spilled, the magic comes out.
Over 10,000 man-hours of work have gone into BloodSpell, 99% of which were volunteer work. The full film will be about the same scale as the first Star Wars movie in terms of number of sets, characters, and number and complexity of action sequences.

UPDATE: Harrison Street between 14th and 15th streets is now open to two lanes of traffic.
EARLIER REPORT: Drivers heading out this morning who use Locust and Harrison streets in Davenport will encounter some headaches in the way of lane closures and detours.
Harrison is currently closed at Locust Street because of a water main break near 15th Street. Traffic is being sent west at Locust to Marquette, then south on Marquette to 14th, then east on 14th back to Harrison.
Also, beginning at 8 a.m eastbound Locust Street between Brady and Main streets will be reduced to one lane of travel. Eastbound drivers who desire to turn left from Locust onto Brady Street should follow the signed detour route or take alternate routes during the lane restrictions. The left turn lane should be opened on Thursday, and all lanes should be opened by Friday.
Drivers should allow extra time getting through the area, or better yet, avoid it if at all possible.

Having been together for years and had twins, she and Tammy are planning to make their union official, telling "Extra" they are trying to find the right time.
Now that same-sex marriage has been legally recognized in California, Melissa Etheridge has made public her plans to wed longtime lesbian partner Tammy Lynn Michaels. In a recent interview with celebrity television show "Extra", she said wedding is in pre-planning stages for her and Tammy.
"We're trying to find the right time now actually to go down and do it -- is where we're at," Etheridge told "Extra" lifechanger and surgical breast specialist Dr. Kristi Funk during a chit chat about breast cancer which she's been diagnosed with four years ago. Etheridge and Tammy have been together for years and they are among the most high-profile celebrities to live openly as lesbians.
The lovers first exchanged vows five years ago in Malibu due to the fact that same-sex marriage was yet legal in California. It was only May this year that the California Supreme Court turned down its ban on gay marriage. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were among those who made their union official soon following the gay marriage acknowledgment.
Etheridge, 47, has two children with her former partner Julie Cypher; son Beckett Cypher and daughter Bailey Jean Cypher. She and Tammy have their own twins, which the actress carried through sperm donor, they are Miller Steven and Johnnie Rose.
Etheridge's interview with "Extra" was conducted at Universal City's Hard Rock Cafe, where she performed to launch Pinktober, the restaurant's breast cancer awareness program.

The singer/actress' new studio album reportedly has got a title and also an official release date.
Finally, details for the long awaited third studio set from actress/singer Lindsay Lohan has been revealed. According to the latest report Lindsay's new LP will be titled "Spirit in the Dark" and it will be hitting the stores on November 4.
Beside confirming about the new record's title and release date, the singer has also revealed a surprising news about the new single for the upcoming record. Aside from picking up "Bossy" as the first outing from the new album, Lindsay reportedly will release another song which is "Playground" featuring Pharrell Williams.
"Bossy", that was previously tapped by many to be the new album's lead single, was only being set as a pre-single or a buzz-track for Lindsay's new record. Moreover, reports also stated that there will be no video promo being made for "Bossy".
Meanwhile, on the new album beside teaming up with Pharrell, Lindsay also works with some famous musicians and producers, such as Ne-Yo, Akon and Stargate. Lindsay's latest LP before the upcoming third set was "A Little More Personal (Raw)", which dropped in 2005.

First allow me to apologize for this blog not being "smoothly written". I am doing this in haste as we are nearly upon the full moon!
A full moon is an excellent way to get rid of things that we just don't want in our lives and things that are no longer useful. The moon will officially become full Saturday (May 5) at 11:35 p.m. EDT and it's considered a "Super Moon" because it's coming so close to the Earth. It will be roughly 221,802 miles away from us. So let's take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
It's time to write some letters. Believe me, this works!
Think of the people that have really hurt you. Write them a letter and which includes these things.
Dear _____________,
1. You make me so angry because_______
2. It makes me feel_________
3. I'm angry at myself for ____________ (your part in the situation, no matter how small.)
4. I'm really sorry for ____________
5. I love ________ about our relationship or contribution in my life. (No matter how small.)
6. I love _______ about what I contributed to your life.
7. I forgive myself and I forgive you and will take the best things away from this situation.
8. You are released from my life.
Now that you've written this letter, put it in an envelope and give rid of it. Make a "fake stamp" and put it in a trash can that is next to the post office.
I'll share one of my letters as an example. To preface this, I am speaking to my maternal grandmother. She was a relentless critic of my life. She passed away within the first two weeks into me taking a very high profile corporate job. I cannot remember a time where there woman wasn't saying something very negative to me, this includes when I was a small child. I cannot imagine saying these types of things to my little boy who is eight. She was a buyer for Macy's children's department for 25 years.
Until I wrote this letter, I never could find a bit of value of her in my life. It's a revelation to recognize that everyone, no matter how negative or positive, has some kernel of make up of who we are.
Dear Grandmamma,
You make me so angry because you had no filters on your opinions of me, even when I was a small child. You made me believe that I wasn't worthy of love or compassion. You constantly berated my appearance, my clothing and my lifestyle. I hated the fact that you could not just love me for who I was instead of what I needed to accomplish and what I looked like. You make me so mad because you were judgmental toward me yet so accepting of all of the boys in our family. You make me so mad because you never stopped even when my uncle, dad and grandfather told you to. It makes me feel useless and unlovable and ugly and fat. I hated the way that you took Grandpapa for granted and then made him a saint when he died. I hate the way that you didn't appreciate anyone until they were gone. I hate the way that you made me believe that I didn't need anyone, especially men. (My grandmother was big into women's rights.) But Grandmamma, we need to have a balance in our lives. This gave me a big unbalanced belief system for years that has set me up for a very singular life. I hate the way that you had such indifference toward love. I hate that I developed such indifference toward the value of love and partnership.
I'm sorry that I never tried to repair our relationship. I just simply walked away when you opened your mouth. I'm sorry that I never showed you any love or any affection. Just because you failed to do this with me, I should have not failed to do that with you. I'm sorry that I dismissed you.
I loved that you and Grandpapa took my brother and I all over the country on your vacations. I love the fact that I've nearly been to every state because of your desire to see the country side. I loved that you took me shopping at Macy's twice year. I got a sense of style and good quality from a very young age. I understand good textiles and good footwear. I can pick out a piece of extremely fine clothing at TJMax's or Marshall's immediately. (These are places that where overstocks are put on sale-even from France). I loved that everything had to be esthetically pleasing and perfectly clean, even though you worked long hours at Macy's. You proved to me what hard work was. Your belief systems have made it possible for me to survive in male dominated professions my entire life.
I have a keen sense of our country's history and geography thanks to you. I have a keen sense of style and fashion because of you. I understand what a spotless house is. I can do anything professionally that I chose because of you. I have no limits.
I love you Grandmamma and I'm sorry that I never told you this.
In my past blogs I have tried to define love. It's not a very easy thing to define. There are many different type of love and the English language only uses one word with a adjective, i.e., brotherly love, romantic love, etc, etc.
Below is my definitions and the comparisons and contrasts to love verse obsession. It goes for all types of love, yes even romantic love.
Love is not jealous.
I am not jealous if my son has a good time with his father. I'm well pleased that he had fun and bonded. I am not jealous if the man I love loves others. It is a divine thing to love others.
Obsession is jealous.
If I am obsessed with someone, I always fear that the subject of my affections is having a better time with someone else.
Love is not controlling.
There choices that my brother makes that I wouldn't necessarily make for myself. He chooses his experience. It's none of my business. I love my brother and he makes his own decisions. This one is hard one to explain, because I cannot think of an adult-with their wits about them, that I love that I make a judgment call on his/her choices. Okay....maybe my brother's heated driveway....right now, that might be jealously that he has a heated drive way, but in the summer it seemed unnecessary. Using my four year old, if he didn't like sports but wanted to do music, I wouldn't try to control his joy in activities. Fortunately, this is not the case.
Obsession is controlling.
If I was obsessed with member of my family or my loved one, I would make a judgement call on what they are doing. I would worry about them doing things wrong. I would worry that they won't do what they were "suppose to".
Love is not prideful.
Now this has always been an enigma to me. I am so proud of my son, the man I love, my parents, my brother, my sister-in-law and my nieces. What this means to me is that it is not my pride.
Obsession is prideful and boastful.
I think that this means that I run about telling my friends that my "people" are better than everyone elses "people".
Love is not self-seeking.
I seek things for the ones I love. My brother is a CEO of a very good company still ahead on the NASDQ. I expect nothing from this. I am so happy that he's got such a wonderful job to support himself and his family. I do not enroll my son into hockey lessons for my own good. I say positive things to my friends and family for them, not me. I don't do things for others and expect things back. I do not love a man because I want things from him. I want things for him.
Obsession is self-seeking.
It's when you do things for others and expect something in return. "I want him in my life." So you go about the business of being co-dependant and going out of your way to do something nice not because you just want to do something nice, but to drawl them in. Well maybe he doesn't want you in his life.
Love make you want to be a better person.
Years ago, I found this to be true when I experienced true romantic love. I wanted to be a better person for a boyfriend and he wanted to be a better person for me. This is very true about wanting to be a winner for my son, I want to have a normal mentally healthy life and be mentally healthy for my son. I want to be fit so my son and I can play sports, etc, etc.
Obsessions makes you less than you can be.
If you are obsessed, you do things that are very embarrassing and very unhealthy-mentally and otherwise. Stalking, trying to control, snooping, gossiping, etc.
Focusing on the wrong things will create the wrong outcome. I sincerely believe this. When I advise clients, I look at where the situation is headed given the circumstances. It's not too difficult to change the outcome if my client does not focus on the correct things.
1. Trust and faith
There are many times in my life that I cannot and do not wish to control people or situations. Sometimes situations are just too difficult even to handle. It can very easily make me nuts. What I do and what I suggest that my clients do is to say, "God, I can't handle this__________. I give it to you with total and complete trust."
2. Focus on what you like or what gives you happiness.
For example, let's say I have a nasty boss, but I otherwise love my job. I have to admit that I cannot control it nor can I change him. Focus on what I love about my job. Or let's say your wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend has an association with someone you cannot bare, but they won't give up that association. Focus on what you love about your loved one. Why do you love them? Employ Trust and Faith and accept that there is nothing that you can do about his or her free will. Don't keep wondering about it. I never have heard of a situation where worry will make the situation better.
3. To thy oneself be true
Instead of worrying about a loved one's associations or about a boss's nasty behavior, focus on what you can do to be better. Constantly focusing on an other's fault and trying to control others is very counter productive. Focus on you and what you can do to be a better person in the situation and in life in general. The more that you do this, the more that you make the situation better for yourself. There's a strong possibility that the association or the boss will be a non-issue soon. Don't give that other individual that you cannot bare any power.
4. Mental health
Neurotic behavior never makes things better. No form of obsession is good. Frequently I get calls about the "other woman". Okay, let's face it. She's probably not going to go away by my client focusing on it. Trying to restrict the boyfriend's friends is not going to help the situation. The only thing that my client can do about this is to be a woman like no other. Never give you power, ego or thoughts to someone else. If you do your job as a female love interest, other women will be irrelevant. The exception is if you have a serious womanizer on your hands. If that's the case, good riddance. The "other woman" is doing you a huge favor by giving you clarity and removing the womanizer from your presence.
5. Free will
We have been given free will. Because we have been given free will, we have been given the ability to create our own reality and to chose our experience. It is one of the greatest evils to try to take away an other's free will. All spiritual traditions boil down to this. If you take a life, if you covet your neighbor's whatever, if you steal. Basically you are trying to change the other's experience and not allowing choice. Have someone try to do that to you and see how you like it.
6. Learn to live in the mystery and expect blessings
Face it, there's absolutely no promises in life. You will never, ever have a 100% proof guarantee on anything. If I order a new gas range, there's no promises that the stove I have installed will work. It might actually have to be replaced. If you go about the business of expecting guarantees you will make yourself ill. You can make promises to yourself and to your God. Accepting that makes life so much easier. Instead of stressing what you don't like, try waking up in the morning and expecting a miracle. Everyday something new and wonderful can unfold. You just have to change your mind. Instead of forcing your will, wonder what wonderful things may unfold. There are signs of the divine everywhere. Polly Anna had the right idea.
In the last several of months I'v had countless clients that have gotten on to "dating sites" such as eHarmony, Match and Plenty of Fish. If you have been on one of these sites and you would like to know if you are having the same types of experiences that others are, please see the "issues" list below:
1. 99% have been stood up more than once.
2. 99% have had a date canceled, but they find that the person that canceled is "on line now" during the time that the date was to occur.
3. 85% have found that they guy has lied about how he looks by posting an old photo, or has lied about their age.
4. 90% of are constantly "looked at" by the same individual, but that individual doesn't make contact-ever.
5. 80% have found out that the person wants something different than they are putting on the site.
6. 25% found that the person isn't divorced (yet) or that the person is in a relationship with someone else.
7. 50% had better luck on a dating site 5-10 years ago.
So what does this all add up to?
1. It's not you. I have absolutely beautiful, intelligent and honest clients...so guess what? It's not you.
2. Loads of men are just window shopping and some women are, too.
3. Some of these people are these sites are afraid to have a real relationship and they would rather have a cyber relationship.
4. There's a reason that some of these people are on line. They fail at having relationships in real time or being able to meet people in person...so do you really think that they are much better at it in the cyber world?
5. You may be on a site that is free or really cheap, so there's no value in the site or their need to act.
6. The Universe is protecting you from idiots, it's not that you can't get a date, but if they aren't following through, feel fortunate you are learning this early.
7. Some people only get on these sites to help their egos.
What should you do?
1. If you have to get on one of these dating sites, make your intentions crystal clear, keep the information about you down to a minimum, and only post two very recent photos.
2. Don't feel like there's something wrong with you.
3. Find a better dating site.
4. Never show interest in anyone first.
5. Go out and find other ways of meeting people in real time. Cyber dating, text messaging, emailing...etc, etc, it's not communication, it's not being able to have a real relationship, it's not good interpersonal skills.
6. Be crystal clear about what you are looking for...for yourself and for the Universe to answer your requests.
I am posting this blog to inform potential new clients that if you wish for me to connect with your situation 1 minute and 35 seconds isn't sufficient.
If you wish for me to be a speed reader and not connect directly to Source than expect me to use cards.
For my definition, less than 2 minutes is not an time ticking away.
For first time clients, try to expect a quality reading in five minutes and an excellent detailed reading in 7-10.
I really really want to serve my clients best interests, but it is not in my clients best interest for me to feel pressured to get seven questions answered in two minutes or less. I get to worried about the minutes and not about the questions.
With Kind Regards-
This weekend I was doing research on some themes that I have blogged before. I do this pretty frequently so I first start out by Goggling and then I usually end with trying to find books to purchase at a local bookstore via Amazon.
To my absolute amazement, I found several of my blogs from Keen plagiarized on different advisor sites other than Keen. Should I be flattered or should I just accept that there are some people without original ideas?
Doesn't matter. The long and the short of this is that I put up blogs on Keen to help Keen's clientele and it was free information from research that I had done. I understand the risk factors of the Internet, but I didn't think that they would be used to drum up business on another site.
Therefore, I sadly announce that I won't be doing Exercises of the Day any longer and I have removed all blogs that have been copied.
I truly hope that those who needed help from some of these blogs got some help. I will keep some blogs up that I am not worried about being copied.
With kind regards
How many of you have or have had one or more of the following problems?
The guy or girl is taking you for granted.
You can't seem to meet anyone that has follow-through.
You can't find anyone that you would like to go out, with much less someone that you would care to develop a relationship with.
Now, you say to yourself, "I'm easy on the eyes, I'm educated, kind, loving, a good cook, great with animals and kids, blah, blah, blah (insert other good attributes here)".
Here is a list of the possible problems that are underneath the surface.
1. You are too good looking.
2. You lack self confidence, but you know that you are pretty or handsome.
3. If you are a woman and you are seeking a man, you make too much money. Although this is a short explanation, it is the most important.
4. You can do pretty much anything and there's really no need for anyone else in your life to be a partner. So what possible purpose could someone else serve? Being there and loving you is not enough to another person. Is that purposed idea enough for you when you are involved with someone? "Sweetie, you don't need to do anything, just set there, look pretty and love me." I'd get pretty bored with that.
5. Just because you want a relationship and someone in your life, but you don't need one. Believe it or not, I used to think that was a good thing. I refer to #4 in this list. Try to look at it this way one wants to be wanted sexually and needed in day to day life. Wanted in day to day life with not having any purpose is worrisome. If someone just wants me hanging around with no real purpose, it smacks of obsession. The next impulse is to run, run, run.....as fast as one can!
6. You're a pessimist, nothing is good enough, you have disaster and chaos everywhere. You scream drama. Love is to be joyful and blissful. It is work, but the work revolves around getting used to each other's thought processes and lifestyles NOT dealing with the drama. Drama isn't whether or not you need to hire a roofer or get your vehicle fixed...it's things that can't be fixed...negatives, pessimism, thinking that you are going to get screwed at any moment.
7. Wanting the best and expecting the worst. Guess what you are going to get...the worse. It is so true that you get whatever you expect...even without all of this hype about the law of attraction.
8. You have this attitude...I'll never find anyone because there isn't anyone out there in my age group, with my interests, in my socio-economic group...blah, blah, blah (insert whatever else you might think). Allow me to refer to my favorite quote: Henry Ford - "Whether You Believe You Can, Or You Can't, You Are Right"
9. Start your search like you would do for a job....create a resume, believe your resume and that you are capable. Create a business plan. Remove the desperation out of it.
10. Your attitude and believe is this...."They aren't going to call, they are going to cancel the date, they are going to blow me off, they are like other men/women that have screwed me." Yepphers..they sure are...

I have been doing readings and advising for over 15 years. It's been longer than that, but I would prefer to make myself out to be younger than more experienced.
Up until the last 3 years, I thought that sun signs or zodiac signs were nonsense. Now, after reading a person, I can peg their zodiac sign about 90% of the time without the querent revealing it. Out of that, I can tell if they are a fire, earth, air or water sign about 99% of the time. There's truth to this nonsense. I now buy it hook-line-and-sinker.
Below is a greatly plagiarized piece, with bits that I have added to increase the impact. Of course these are gross generalizations, but there are kernels of truth in all abstracts.

What's wrong with all of this?
This is covert abuse. Covert abuse is abuse that isn't hitting or yelling. Because their abuse isn't overt (hitting or yelling) it's hard to put one's figure on it. Covert abuse is abuse. It;'s emotional abuse, it's manipulative, and it's damaging. The problem with covert abuse one some times doesn't even recognize that it's happening until later and they frequently don't know how to heal. It creates deep emotional scars, depression, low self-esteem and other issues that can prevent one from having other healthy and loving relationships.
People, man or woman, that behaves in this manner towards someone else is abusive and probably has border line personality disorders.
What kind of personality disorders:
Passive/Agressive: Link- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive-aggressive_behavior
Narcissism: Link- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder
These are only two, but there's a myriad of disorders and behaviors that could be exhibited in the behavior above.
No one can change this behavior out of another. These are learned manipulation and control. Years of therapy, possibility meds will be the way these behaviors are changed. However, most of these types of covert abusers don't think that they have a problem. It's working for them and if someone does have a problem with their behavior then that person is mentally ill. After all, they aren't doing anything wrong.
Never ever believe that these types of people will change. They absolutely won't. Don't bother yourself believing that they will.
Folks, I'm getting better at seeing my manifestations come to light. It's difficult to get my clients to write stories. I decided to tell you about mine.
Here's two that happened in the last two weeks. I have hundreds of them, but these are recent.
One year ago, I decided it was time for a new truck. I found the Nissan Xterra an acceptable vehicle and test drove it and found a photo of a silver one and pasted it on my "vision board".
Two days ago, I decided that I had to have a truck as my old Ranger was on its last legs. I found one on carsoup.com, called the dealership, did a credit application over the phone and went and picked up my new Xterra the next day. Now many people may not be finding this fascinating, but in the last two years I have had to rebuild everything in my life, so getting financed has not been possible.
When I decided that it was possible, it became possible. When I decided it was time, it was time.
Oh, and I also decided that I would pay about $4000USD less then the average listing on carsoup.com. And I did.
Now, I am an animal lover. My puppy died two years ago during an extremely rough time in my life and she had been with me for 10 years.
In January I decided that we needed another dog in May.
I had settled on two breeds of dogs; a Havanese (same bred as my last puppy) and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. In The Cities in which I live, these dogs run between $1700-2500 each. That's crazy. One of my friends and another reader on Keen started doing some research for fun for me and found a web site for me and within a day, a Caviler was listed on this site and I was sent a notification email.
On this site, the breeder had several breeds of dogs and she also had Havanese. I called the breeder and asked about both breeds, gave her information about my lifestyle and she said either would be good. I really loved her energy on the phone. She loved her dogs and you could hear dogs, puppies and children playing and calling the dogs in the background. I felt very good about the conversation. I would buy on from her, but I told her that I just couldn't settle on which one. She called me the next day and basically gave me one so I could have both. She told me that I'd been through a lot and she just wanted to make sure that her dogs went to good homes and that she still going to make $400 off of me even with this really big discount.
I settled on two types of dogs. I decided we'd get one in the May. Even though I honestly could not afford the types of dogs that I wanted, I just kept believing that there had to be a way to get one. I believed that I could get either dog equally....and guess what?
They are coming Saturday. Both are a quarter for what I'd pay for ONE locally. They are exactly what I decided I'd get. Okay the timing is off by 4 days, but who cares.
Havanese Daisey
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel-No name decided on yet, but probably Petula.
Okay so the moral of the story is be really careful about what you want, you'll probably get it. If you can't land on a decision, you might end up with multiples.
What are the steps?
Try it with no attachment and see what happens.
Many of my clients are frightened that if they are honest with their partner, that the partner will end the relationship or go away.
One can rely feelings and thoughts if they convey it in the right way. Many people are not accustomed to doing this. Here are some ways to get your point across to people without ending up with a defensive argument. If the receiver of this information is abusive, they may not receive it well no matter how you put it, so decide what kind of a situation you are in prior to sharing.
Hazards of not being honest:
Please feel free to add........
"Back off, I'm not that kind of a car."
"Answer my prayers, steal this car."
"Atheist are Beyond Belief."
"God gives and forgives, Man gets and forgets!"
"I did not believe in Reincarnation the last time either!"
"Keep on working, millions on welfare depend on you!"
"I fought the lawn, and the lawn won."
"Visualize whirled peas."
"Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder."
"If you can read this, I can hit my brakes and sue you."
"Does the name Pavlov ring a bell."
"Yes, this is my truck. No, I will not help you move." (I should put this on my truck.)
Here's a really basic lesson in intentions and manifestations.
Recently I started paying attention to my heart rate when I was on the tread mill. I'm on that thing at the YMCA one hour a day, five days a week. Someone said, "You're not loosing your winter 10 pounds because you aren't in the zone." Okay, whatever. I'm a Scorpio and that means nothing in moderation, it's black or white and there are not shades of grey. If a heart rate of 120 is good, 220 is really good, right?
So I started investigating this heart rate stuff and found that I wasn't in the zone. Alright, whatever that means. I just understood that I need to have my heart rate at between 119 and 128. So now when I am on the tread mill, I intend it. And guess what? It works. There's the power of intention in a nutshell. I can control my heart rate.
No wonder it's so blasted difficult to loose weight because you are paying attention to the fact that those trousers aren't fitting right.
No wonder it's hard to be in a relationship, because you're probably paying more attention to the lack.
No wonder it's hard to make and keep money, because you're most definitely paying attention to the fact that your checking account is dangerously low.
So how do you intend something that isn't there? How do you pay attention to something that you lack?
Simple: Intend it as if you are intending to go to the supermarket. That's what I noticed. Will it into existence. Here's the punch line: You can't figure out HOW IT's going to happen. In truth, I could give a fig how I manage to get back into all of those expensive tiny jeans. I don't care if aliens take me in the middle of the night and give me bonus liposuction. I don't care how that six figure amount ends up in my checking account. Would you?
Need more help with this? Let me know!
Wishing and wanting the best for you.....

Chopped fresh spinach is stirred into these eggy cheese puffs. They are nice to serve with a bowl of hot soup on these cold days.
This pastry is similar to cream puff pastry, but more flavorful with the added Parmigiano. Reggiano cheese and spinach. The recipe makes about 36 puffs and they are fine to keep at room temperature for one day.
If you know that they will not all be eaten right away, you should freeze them. They can be reheated.

KENDAL Town Council has written to Cumbria County Council opposing proposals to cut one of Kendal's two fire engines.
The letter states: "We accept that the number of traditional fires is falling. However, we believe the role of Kendal Fire Station in motorway accident provision has been overlooked."
It said a 'preferred option' would be to close Staveley Fire Station, which has problems recruiting retained firefighters, and keep two vehicles at Kendal.
A county council spokesperson said the risk assessment it had carried out, which showed the number of callouts was on the decrease, took into account all incidents, not just fires.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – The Master's College women's soccer program looks to a strong future with the recent signing of Sarah Stead.
"I want to come onto the team and be a positive impact, both on the field and off the field," commented Stead. "I want to be pushed and to push others to grow and seek the Lord in all that we do. We only get one life to leave a mark on this world, and as we play against unbelievers I want to be remembered as a team and player who played to give God all the glory."
The future Lady Mustang comes from a long lineage of alumni from The Master's College. Stead's parents (Jonathan and Jill) both attended the college, while her grandfather, Dr. John Stead, has taught in the Political Science department and currently provides leadership as the school's Vice President for Academics. In addition Stead's grandfather, Dr. John Dunkin, was president of the school when it was know as Los Angeles Baptist College.
Looking to make a name for herself, Stead eyes her time at The Master's College with the prospect of being "super excited to dig into the Word of God and to be biblically prepared to share the gospel. I am anxious to meet my professors and to be able to get an education in a way that honors God. Overall I am praying for a life-changing experience these next four years."
Stead's soccer resume built around her time at Murrieta Valley High School is highlighted by being a part of the 2011 Southwestern League champion team and being a captain for the team during the 2014 season. Stead also spent some time competing with the Carlsbad Elite soccer club.
Head coach Curtis Lewis feels that Stead's experience will be a huge help to the Lady Mustangs.
"Sarah came out a few years ago and we immediately saw that she would be a great addition to our squad. I think her background will aid our squad immediately. Stead is a technically-gifted player and will probably be fighting for a starting position."
Lewis aims to have Stead spend time in the forward and the midfielder positions.
The Lady Mustangs went 15-6 (6-4 GSAC) in 2013 and made their first appearance in three years at the NAIA National Tournament where they fell to CSU San Marcos 0-1 at Reese Field.
Now, the 18th-ranked Lady Mustangs look to a strong 2014 campaign where they will open with a road game against Concordia (OR) on August 23.

Crews battle house fire in Augusta
Posted Nov. 30, 2012, at 2:43 p.m.
AUGUSTA, Maine — A home on Spring Road was damaged by fire on Friday afternoon, but firefighters were able to contain the blaze to a bedroom.
Augusta fire Lt. Sean Goodwin said the fire broke out in the bedroom, but a closed door kept it from spreading throughout the house.
Crews from Winthrop, Chelsea, Gardiner and Augusta fought the fire, which was brought under control in about a half hour, according to Goodwin.
Nobody was injured in the fire, and the home sustained heat and smoke damage, Goodwin said.

Cultural Leanings
The Swiss people have defied their government by voting against having any more minarets in Switzerland. Unexpected by mainstream opinion, this vote is sure to be portrayed in a most unfavorable light, as an unhelpful example of narrow-minded parochialism if not downright racism. But that would be a mistake. All cultures are not relatively equal, nor should we pretend that they are. The Swiss are perfectly justified in wanting to keep what they've got, just as are the French in banning headscarves from classrooms, and as are various international efforts to ban the burqa.
Instead of meekly accepting cultural practices we don't like we should remind ourselves that they can, and do, evolve. Once upon a time, for example, the Hindus in India practiced Sati, the (often forced) immolation of a widow upon her husband's funeral pyre. The British put a stop to it.
General Napier is famously quoted thusly:
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
Most Hindus now consider Sati completely barbaric and in today's India it is against the law. Similarly, the common Muslim practices of segregating women, effectively discriminating against them, are not at all immutable. Nor are sanctioned deaths by stoning in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, or beheading, or other such primitive, atavistic behavior, wherever it may take place.
Sometimes a minaret is just a minaret. Sometimes it's not. The Swiss have judged it a powerful symbol of an alien, inferior culture that threatens Swiss norms. But that is not the same as the Swiss rejecting Islam. We should understand the difference.
« Essay at Huffington Post | Main | From Dubai to Athens »
George, George. Usually I have no trouble agreeing with you, but this time... A minaret is a place from which the faithful are called to prayer, five times a day. I can understand that the Swiss would find this annoying, having given up the habit of prayer many years ago. But...to condemn these structures as symbols of an "inferior culture" just because you find the habits of its extremist fundamentalists repugnant is unworthy of you. Would you judge all American culture purely on the basis of the rebarbative habits of some of your fundamentalists?
BTW an ancestor of my mother was the governor of India who made the actual decision to stop sati, and it was based on a remarkably balanced analysis. I can send you a link to it if you like.
[Well, OK, David, I respect your opinion and I may well be in error. But let's take this one step at a time. Would you agree or not, for example, with the French ban on headscarves in schools? Or for that matter with the recent case of British Air banning the wearing of a crucifix necklace by a flight attendant? g.]
A sticky question. You surprise me — not what I'd expected, though I agree completely. However, would you support a community in the US forbidding the construction of a mosque?
I do not agree with the French ban on headscarves, or the British Airways prohibition of crucifixes. What harm does either cause? Westerners could use a strong dose of modesty. Other groups should exercise the same tolerance they demand from Christians.
George, is the goal an irreligious, secularized, "world community"? That would not be acceptable, desirable, manageable (for long), or attainable — without barbaric persecution of religion. The impulse to believe in Someone greater is immutable to human character.
[Well, not all the big questions have black and white answers. But to take the question of mosques — something that is an issue both in Europe and the U.S. — if the Saudis, for example, are willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build giant mosque complexes with schools, etc., all over the world, should that be challenged? Anywhere? Do the Saudis reciprocate by allowing Christian denominations to build churches in the Kingdom? No. What version of Islam are these mosques promoting? A profoundly conservative — indeed, reactionary — Wahhabi one. So, there are legitimate questions about what should be allowed. Even near Washington DC, in Northern Virginia, the Saudis fund a mosque (attended by the Ft. Hood shooter) that has generated a fair amount of controversy. And bear in mind that it's probably easier, all things considered, for America, with its diverse culture, to accommodate fundamentalist mosques than it is in Europe.
These are very much questions of nuance, but if the Swiss want to ban future construction of minarets, they have their own good reasons, and I respect that.
Just to be absolutely clear: I'm in no way arguing either for a secular community or the persecution of religious faith. g.]
This text made me quite angry and disappointed me.
Most mosques in France don't preach extremism. For agnostics, the great mosque of Paris is a great place to go, meet people, enjoy the hammam and drink mint tea. Of course it is mainly a place of worship, but I have the same feeling when visiting Notre-Dame. (except no hammam in N.D.). Minarets are as visually pleasing as cathedral spires.
What will the Swiss do next? White crescents on muslim's clothes? This stinks and, after the GFC, makes me think of 1929-1933 all over again.
The headscarf ban, well, as a former weird-dress-and-hairdo person, I resent all school rules pertaining to clothes. If all religious signs are treated equally, maybe, but I think the points gained in the secular department are lost in the discrimination area.
The hypothetic burqa ban? As disgusting as the swiss minaret ban, as I do believe people can dress as they bloody well like in the streets.
As for feeling that there are 'inferior cultures', well let me see your scale. Cultures are different, yes, they have bad and good points, yes, and being able to weigh everything and declare a winner is pretty arrogant.
You give me the sati ban, I give you the Great Famine of 1876–78. I believe and hope there's no way to count points.
[Thanks, Sophie, for your kind comment. I'm trying to fix up a guest to talk about these questions on the EP podcast. g.]
George — Perhaps you could interview a philosopher who studies Nietzsche in order to explore this question?
Nietzsche was an advocate of pluralism but stated unequivocally, I think, that not all values and moralities are constructed as equals.
[Thanks, Charles, for your suggestion. But to be honest, I'm no fan of Nietzsche. I will, however, continue to pursue the religious angle. g.]
I would like to draw everyone's attention to the Charter for Compassion campaign by Karen Armstrong and TED.
The first point they are making with this great effort is that morality is not a matter of taste, as we have so often heard, but can be reduced to an absolute — the Golden Rule.
The second is that all great religions in the history of the world have preached and are preaching this, including Islam. Of course, there is not a single great religion that has not at times been corrupted horribly by its putative followers. It is irresponsible and illogical to pick out any particular one for chastisement based on this.
Well, my perspective on this is a bit different. And probably useless. But I'll try to explain myself.
I might well have a problem with certain proposals for spires or minarets based on their architectural appropriateness. It is not at all easy governing the built environment. I just finished four years on planning and zoning in a town of three thousand. It is a powerful tool and thus can evoke powerful response. It might even get tangled in freedom of religion in some ways. But to control the way a place looks and feels as well as "what it says" is probably applicable in some cases.
I've not been to Switzerland. If the construction of something would amount to a sufficiently uncharacteristic blot on a neighborhood or, for that matter, a skyline, then a community should have the grounds to reject it.
As to religion, I wholeheartedly approve of none of them. Nature will, in the end, have it's way with us.
[Thanks, Peter. Clearly a lot of issues in play here. g.]
Ummmm. Did Sarah Palin slip something into your pecan pie? :-)
The Swiss being so far away and so "apart" may make this sort of vote seem somehow an aesthetic choice, but it's no different from synagogues being banned in the early days of the Reich. And the timing of this??
Welles had their number:
[That's a great movie. But seriously, I think that the rules regarding social norms should be applied equitably. No snake handling, for example, in West Virginia churches — where it's currently legal. g.]
The Swiss have judged it a powerful symbol of an alien, inferior culture that threatens Swiss norms.
The "inferior" part of this sentence was unnecessary and uncalled for. None of us want to be overwhelmed by an alien culture and if the Swiss want to push back against minarets or Starbuck's or American beef, that's their prerogative. There's no need to be offensive.
"The "inferior" part of this sentence was unnecessary and uncalled for. None of us want to be overwhelmed by an alien culture and if the Swiss want to push back against minarets or Starbuck's or American beef, that's their prerogative. There's no need to be offensive."
An intelligent comment to a remarkably stupid and bigoted post.
Being Swiss, I was surprised to read this post George and also some of the comments. It is a nice surprise that a Swiss issue makes it to your blog. Still, I am disappointed by the result of that Swiss vote. Freedom of religion to me is more important than planning and zoning issues.
What the Swiss wanted to state by banning minarets, I believe however, is the following: we do not want to tolerate the common Muslim practices of segregating women, forced marriages, female genital mutilation and other forms of discrimination of women. And we would like the Saudis and other Muslim countries to allow us (Christians) to build churches in their countries too.
In my opinion, the Swiss gave the wrong answer to the wrong question.
Building minarets is a planning and zoning issue.
People living in Switzerland should follow Swiss customs and treat women equal to men.
I am undecided, if banning headscarves from classrooms is the right thing. But if wearing headscarves at school means they cannot participate in sports nor go swimming with the other kids, it gets difficult. It just might be that banning headscarves from classrooms is the best thing to do.
You are right George, that the Swiss are not rejecting Islam. But the Swiss are rejecting Islam practices that are not legal nor the norm in Switzerland.

I personaly feel that this part:
The Hypnotist-Subject relationship has been feared by some due to the practice of stage performers. In a book by Erica Fromm, it has been referred to as "archaic involvement", listing these responses in the "patient":
Feeling like a child in relation to the hypnotist. Wanting to please the hypnotist. Feeling guilty at not doing what the hypnotist wants. Worrying the hypnotist will not like you. Wanting to bask in the "power and glory" of the hypnotist. Everything the hypnotist says and does deeply matters.
Hypnotherapy, however, usually takes place in a clinical setting, within the framework of an individual course of therapy.
Seems to be written without much thought into the matter and simply taken from the book, and if this is the way it has been written in the book then I daresay Erica Fromm is giving false information. I understand that these can be problems but it is not specified that these kinds of reactions could occur in any setting with a therapist whether they by utilising hypnotherapy or not. It should be stated that this is common in all counselling/therapy related situations, and indeed even in day to day living where a person is being spoken to by someone they feel is superior. This person seems to be using scare-tactics to put hypnotherapy in a negative light.
Also more evidence should be put forward as to the benefits of hypnotherapy, and reference from other writers on the subject.
Thank you for your comments. This article could clearly do with more work. Do feel free to come and edit it. This is a collaborative editing project and will only work if many of us contribute. I will mark it for expert attention in the hope that this willattract people to mprove the articleLifeartist 08:06, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Similar complaints were made about Erica Fromm on Wiki. The article on Wiki was rewritten a few months ago by someone called 'hypnosynthesis' who seems to be practicing hypnotherapist. That article is certainly an improvement. I would propose we replace this one with it as a starting point. Fainites 12:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Let's just be very careful...this hypnosynthesis seems to have created problems on wikipedia see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:HypnoSynthesis The person seems to have an interest (exclusive?) in NLP and hypnotherapy. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/HypnoSynthesis I know a little bit about hypnosis as a psychologist friend of mine in Princeton NJ practices. I'm not sure the wikipedia article is one to copy whole cloth. It might be better to get an expert in hypnosis to edit this article. Dr. Becker-Weidman Talk 14:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The More You Know
Recently, a new website came to our attention via Assistant Professor Joe Zumalt at the ACES Library: Zillow.com. Founded by several former employees of Expedia, Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc. (click here for their bios), Zillow provides public access to home value information that has been only available through online services that require you to provide your contact information (so that you may be reached by a real estate agent), and to real estate agents through the Multiple Listing System database.
Zillow can be used by buyers, sellers, homeowners, and the just plain curious to find property values throughout the country. They combine their data with satellite and street maps so that you can browse from state level all the way down to neighborhoods and individual homes. The range of available data is quite enormous, and Zillow fully admits that they offer "lots of data in some areas, but little to no data in others." (cited from the Zillow homepage) In an article from February 8, 2006, Walter S. Mossberg and Katherine Boehret of the Wall Street Journal – requires UIUC netid & password) found that Zillow had the most information in urban areas like Seattle, San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Cleveland – less so for places like Chicago, Boston, and St. Louis.
The database is still in its beta form, so we can look forward to more additions and improvements. As for what it means for the real estate industry, we shall see that, too.

Multidentate ligands for the synthesis of multi-metallic complexes. 2. Formation of a planar Cu4OH motif
Mustapha, Abdullahi and Reglinski, J. and Kennedy, Alan R. and Armstrong, D.R. and Sassmannshausen, Jorg and Murrie, Mark (2010) Multidentate ligands for the synthesis of multi-metallic complexes. 2. Formation of a planar Cu4OH motif. Inorganic Chemistry, 49 (12). pp. 5350-5352. ISSN 0020-1669Full text not available in this repository. Request a copy from the Strathclyde author
The reaction of the multidentate Schiff base species TrenSal, TrenBrSal and TEtSal with copper acetate is reported. The heptadentate ligands generate a tetrametallic L2Cu4OH motif that contains an internalised hydroxide anion. In contrast the hexadentate TEtSal ligand is found to form an open trimetallic motif. The importance of L2Cu4OH to the family of copper ccmplexes with an endohedral hydroxide anion is discussed. [(TrenBrSal)2Cu4OH] [OAc] is analysed by temperature dependent magnetic measurements.

Detailed Schematic Of The Apple II
Would you like to remember them fun days of the Apple I and Apple II? Well City Prints have got the perfect solution with some perfect schematic of both the Apple I and Apple II. Do not worry if you were not a fan of both the Apple I or II as City prints also make schematics for the vintage gaming consoles and PC's such as the Atari, Commodore 64, Nintendo, or Genesis.
The prints are 12″; x 16″; and start from $40 each but there is the possible option to get already framed for $180.

Fortnight For Freedom: Hobby Lobby
Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, go here to read the decision, rested upon the Court's interpretation of this section of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993:
a) In general
It is time for all Americans to recall these words of Abraham Lincoln in a public meeting he organized in Springfield, Illinois on June 12, 1844 in the wake of anti-Catholic riots in Philadelphia. The meeting adopted this resolution proposed by Lincoln:
"Resolved, That the guarantee of the rights of conscience, as found in our Constitution, is most sacred and inviolable, and one that belongs no less to the Catholic, than to the Protestant; and that all attempts to abridge or interfere with these rights, either of Catholic or Protestant, directly or indirectly, have our decided disapprobation, and shall ever have our most effective opposition. Resolved, That we reprobate and condemn each and every thing in the Philadelphia riots, and the causes which led to them, from whatever quarter they may have come, which are in conflict with the principles above expressed."
4 Responses to Fortnight For Freedom: Hobby Lobby
"For many on the left, the only religious liberty Americans should enjoy is freedom of worship, for now."
Those sovereign persons brought into being by "our Creator" worship God by being human beings. Human existence is the criterion for the ordering of human rights. from Fransico Suarez. The Court cannot deny to any human being in exsitence his freedom to worship God.
Abortion denies to the human being, body and soul, his freedom to worship God. Atheism and abortion deny the human, rational, immortal soul, and as such, abortion is the imposition of atheism by the government, violating the First Amendment's establishment clause. For disregarding and ignoring the human soul, using taxpayer's money, atheism and abortion are taxation without representation. The atheist must be tolerated. Atheism is unconstitutional.
Hobby Lobby ought to be reimbursed by taxpayer's funds for court costs and legal fees in the same manner that the atheist is reimbursed for his legal battle waged improperly for his alleged civil right to strip the freedom of religion from every common usage, imposing nothingness, and foolishness on our culture and law.
Mary De Voe.
Reimbursement! Amen to that. How Planned murderhood can receive tax dollars is sickening and immoral. Let's keep at the Rosaries for our Nations return to God going, and look upon this victory with Hobby Lobby as a sign of hope.

What causes upper stomach pain radiating into the back? The pain starts in the upper middle of my abdomen and radiates to the back, like a band of extreme, severe pain. I get cold sweats and weakness and cannot get up. This continues for hours and hours. I don't have any vomiting yet, nausea, and no diarreha. Seems to be set off by eating solid foods. Any idea what this could be?READ MORE
Upper stomach pain radiating into the back?
These kind of severe symptoms really do call for a doctor's visit. If the pain radiates into your jaw or neck you should see a doctor immediately, because it could signal pancreatitus, diverticulitis, GERD, or even appendicitis. Pancreatitus can cause severe pain and can be set off by eating solid foods. It also may be a sign of a gallbladder problem, particularly if you find the pain coming after you eat fatty foods.
Take a look at the links I've put in above to see if any of them fit your symptoms. Remember that the more information you can give your doctor about what seems to trigger the pain the better able your physician will be to find out what's wrong. Good luck!
Did you ever figure out what this was?

Police are urging the public to be cautious after a bag containing prescription medication was stolen in Wallasey.
A woman was walking along Poulton Road, Wallasey, at about 5.30pm on Thursday, February 18, when her handbag was stolen.
The handbag contained a box of 60 tablets of the morphine-based painkiller "Zomorph."
Following advice from medics officers are warning people that this medication should only be taken by those who have been prescribed it.
The tablets can cause drowsiness if taken in high doses, and can be dangerous if taken by someone with liver damage.
It can also be harmful to children.
Police are keen to speak to anyone who may have witnessed the incident on Poulton Road, or anyone who has been offered any of the medication to contact them on 101, or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Anyone who finds any of the medication should hand it in to any pharmacy or police station or call officers on the 101 number.

Wacky fun with the Religion of Peace
Falling on the 10th of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic lunar calendar, Shia Muslims mark the death of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson at Karbala with mourning rituals and plays re-enacting the martyrdom.
Men and women dress in black and parade through the streets slapping their chests and chanting.
Some Shia orders flagellate themselves with chains and blades to emulate Hussein's suffering - though this is frowned upon by others.
Also, take a look at this thread from Free Republic to get an idea how sick and weird this is.

Bloomfield Hills
Cranbrook claims second title in four years, fifth overall
By Mike Moore
Posted March 18, 2013
There isn't a single boys hockey program in the state that can compare to the accomplishments of Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood.
There is one, however, that would like to emulate it.
And it happens to share the same building.
"There's a reason we practice back to back," Cranbrook girls hockey coach Terry Brooks said with a laugh. "You look at the two programs, and we'd love to be in lockstep with the success they have. We see, and know, the commitment it takes and the work that goes into what's been accomplished around here."
The Cranes took a step closer to doing just that March 9, claiming their second Michigan Metro Girls High School Hockey League Division 1 championship in the past four years with a 3-2 overtime victory against Grosse Pointe South.
It's the fifth title overall for CK.
"You try to tell the other coaches, and the players, how this stuff never gets old," Brooks said. "It's such a great feeling to see the smiles on the girls faces after everything pays off."
After finishing with a 16-2-1 record during the regular season, good for 33 points and a second-place finish — the only losses came to league champ Grosse Pointe South and Grosse Pointe North — the Cranes opened the postseason with a 9-0 victory against Livonia Ladywood.
In the semifinals, CK snuck past North 3-2 in overtime, setting up a clash with the 2012 champ, Grosse Pointe South.
Keiko DeClerck got the Cranes going in the first period, only to see South even the game moments later. Hanna DeClerck put CK up 2-1 in the second, and the score remained unchanged until 4:30 remained in regulation when South cashed in on a power-play opportunity.
The teams traded chances in the overtime, but with three minutes remaining, South was whistled for a minor penalty.
"I hadn't used our time out yet, so I decided to take it," Brooks explained. "We were able to get our top five girls on the ice, got them a little rest and set up what we wanted to do. They went out and did it."
Keiko DeClerck slammed home her second goal of the night, bringing the girls championship back to Wallace Ice Arena — right where the boys had done the same earlier that day.

Evolved Samsung Exynos 5 Octa coming next week
Samsung Exynos 5420 and will feature a higher clock speed along with improved optimization for the 8 integrated cores. Not technically a true octa-core chip, the Exynos 5 Octa is comprised of two sets of quad-cores with one set of Cortex-A15 chips doing the heavy lifting while the other set of quad-core Cortex-A7 chips takes care of the light housekeeping. Not all 8 cores can be used at once. When one set of quad-core chips are being used, the other cannot.
Recently, a road map from low cost chip producer MediaTek showed off a true octa-core chip coming, manufactured using TSMC's 28nm process. Mass production of this chip, the MT6592, is expected to start in November with the first handsets powered by the silicon to launch early next year. All 8 cores will be available for use at once.
Turning back to the tweet about the Samsung Exynos 5 Octa, the Korean tech titan said that it will be holding a Twitter based contest based on the evolved chip and the rules will be released next week. According to Samsung, the prizes will consist of Exynos powered devices.

Antutu get ready to set a new record of more than 40000 at 1.5 ghz
May be this will power The Mighty Note 3
6. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
more like 33k
which is exactly what the S4 does on SD800
This is not as much about benchmarks anymore, but power/efficiency, and the first real Octa core with proper core migration could boost the Exynos battery life.

did you waste 5 min to feed a troll?
in his comment we can clearly make out that hes just blind fandroid
8. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Did u waste 2 just to ask this? ;)
Those AnTuTu scores are for y'all homes! 33k in AnTuTu terms is what to expect I think crossover, OctaV2, SD800, Tegra 4 on a real mobile device not a reference tablet with heat sink... who will win the efficiency race however? Can Intel come and steal the show?
9. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
Intel's baytrail scored over 40000 at 1.1ghz. Arm is dying soon it will be intel in all flagships. It will be AMD vs Intel all over again.
15. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Unknown circumstances though, like the Tegra 4 model, it could've been on wall with heatsinking... Intel has been struggling to match the best of the mobile SoC, but let's hope they do get it right this time, performance per watt.
18. MrPhilo (Posts: 52; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Intel cheated, it was modified the Antutu which helped Intel perform significantly higher. Intel lose around 20-30% results, plus 1.1Ghz but probably with a turbo boost to 2Ghz or something.
24. RomeoJDR (Posts: 244; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
The score was revised and now sits under the current Exynos
2. abcdefgh (banned) (Posts: 471; Member since: 29 Mar 2013)
first of all learn the meaning of octa core you drunk!
11. Shatter (Posts: 2036; Member since: 29 May 2013)
The first real octacore chip is the mediatek one, it is only a7 so it is about equal to a quad core a15 but it uses less power.
16. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
Potentially, if anything were optimized to use all of them. Guess what though? Nothing does -- so have fun with a minimum of 4 cores, mostly 6 rotting doing nothing 99% of the time.
17. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Octa-core simply means the CPU sports 8 cores, which is true to the Exynos 5410 as well. Sure, using all at the same time would have performance benefits, but 4 A7 cores don't add too much performance while 8 cores running sky high would overheat quickly.
Proper core migration is the way to go, to use 2-3-4 cores in any combination at any frequency. Samsung wanted that initially, and here's hoping they got it right this time.
3. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Note 3 please!

This is going to be epic :) can't wait. Crazy how quickly tech is moving these days
12. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the only reason most of anybody should be excited about this is if there's plans to use them in the next series of Notes.
13. datsyuk (Posts: 180; Member since: 11 Jan 2012)
Excited for this but a couple things worth noting,
Production issues with S4 last time. Will that happen again or can they universally make the phone with all Exynos chips?
S600 looked like it actually had better battery life and held its own with the Octa.
Snapdragon chips have been much more developer friendly than the Exynos ones have been.
20. MistB (Posts: 581; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Will the Note 3 be loaded with 3GB or even 4GB of RAM with this latest Exynos then? Because if the latest rumours about the Nexus 7 II are anything to go by, it appears to have 4GB of RAM on board.
21. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Rest in Peace Snapdragon S800 halfbaked unmatured A15 Chip.
Here comes the mighty E5420, if clocked at 2.3 or 2.5 Antutu scores would reach 42000.
Well we still have the ulimate E5450 left.
So this chip is so powerfull that it needs a A7 to to light tasking.
Hope the Note3 will be clocked at 2.3 or 2.0 Ghz
22. cheetah2k (Posts: 1746; Member since: 16 Jan 2011)
Heres hoping it comes with LTE this time.....
23. Topcat488 (Posts: 1396; Member since: 29 Sep 2012)
MediaTek has proven that a true octa-core chip is possible, albeit older chip... But wait until the "copy king" Samsung improve on that technology with some more powerful chips. True Octa is coming soon to the Note 5 and S6.

Seems like you are not much of a tech geek.. Media tek is using cortex-A7 octacore.. Have you seen the current performance of mediatek powered quad-core chips in Indian phones? They are nowhere compared to high end phones like s4 and HTC one.

Like i said when Samsung get all eight cores working together like MediaTek... You're not worth further commenting too, read and comprehend before you type next time.

It's not possible on 8 cores cause it will rinse battery 30% more than 8xA9. Those A15s are really powerfull

And developer are still not amused because Samsung still doesn't release the necessary documentations for Exynos chips.

Hi I'm Lilian Weng (翁荔)! I'm a Staff Data Scientist / Machine Learning Engineer @ Affirm, working on the credit underwriting model. I used to be a data scientist @ Dropbox. Before that I was a Ph.D. student in Complex Networks and Systems, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University Bloomington. I'm a member of the Network & Agent Networks (NaN) Research Group, Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research (CNetS). My Research interests broadly include: web mining, machine learning, social computing, social network analysis, social application, complex networks/modeling, and human computer interaction. As a PhD student, I'm closely working with Prof. Filippo Menczer, Alessandro Flammini, and Yong-Yeol Ahn on various projects related with information diffusion, social contagion, and modeling. Details on projects can be found in Projects section.

I started running half Marathon since 2015, and since then running becomes a big part of my life. I also love skiing and hope one day I can jump out of Corbet's Couloir at Jackson Hole!
I used to do painting often (Click Here) on both canvas (acrylic) and computer (Photoshop/SAI with Wacom Intuos paiting tablet). I enjoy design as well. I've learnt Japanese a bit. I used to be a huge fan of Japanese anime & manga and play PC & PSP games. Btw, if you haven't played Danganronpa, go buy one now.
