Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6. Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.
Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian's (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin's empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.
Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.

It's been two years. Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) are happily living uneventful lives at home. Tattoos have been lasered off, files purged. The last they heard from disaster-magnet Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), he'd been tossed into a Thai prison and, with him out of the way, the guys have very nearly recovered from their nights prowling the seamy side of Las Vegas in a roofie'd haze, and being kidnapped, shot at, and chased by drug-dealing mobsters in Bangkok.
The only member of the Wolfpack who's not content is Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Still lacking a sense of purpose, the group's black sheep has ditched his meds and given in to his natural impulses in a big way—which, for Alan, means no boundaries, no filters and no judgment—until a personal crisis forces him to finally seek the help he needs.
And who better than his three best friends to make sure he takes the first step. This time, there's no bachelor party. No wedding. What could possibly go wrong? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.
"The Hangover Part III" is the epic conclusion to an incomparable odyssey of mayhem and bad decisions, in which the guys must finish what they started by going back to where it all began: Las Vegas.
One way or another…it all ends here.
A teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and the forces of evil is taking place. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world -- and ours.
We meet Celine and Jesse nine years after their last rendezvous. Almost two decades have passed since their first encounter on a train bound for Vienna, and we now find them in their early forties in Greece. Before the clock strikes midnight, we will again become part of their story.
Follow actor J Kimball (Juno, Spider-man, Up In The Air) as he researches what it's like to be old for a role in an upcoming movie. When he meets the residents at The Coconuts Convalescent Home, he quickly discovers that his perceptions of the elderly may be off from reality. After being on the wrong end of some pranks, J enlists the help of his Hollywood friends (Tim Allen, Scott Caan, Breckin Meyer, Randy Couture, Kevin Pollak) to turn the tides. Mayhem ensues.
A terrorist plants several bombs throughout the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka and threatens to detonate them unless prisoners are released.
Chronicles the life of Van Vlahakis (played by Ed O'Ross), a Greek immigrant who arrived in America with only $22 in his pocket and eventually founded the multi-million dollar Green company, Earth Friendly Products, maker of the #1 selling green laundry detergent in the world, ECOS.
High school sweethearts QiaoQiao and Li Xing are about to graduate from university and Li Xing surprises QiaoQiao with a marriage proposal. QiaoQiao, however, declines the proposal, offering rash arguments as to why he's not ready. Little does he know, QiaoQiao has a devastating secret. Nonetheless, they write a break-up contract; if they're both single in five years, they'll get married. The two part ways and five years pass. Believing Li Xing is still waiting for her, QiaoQiao waits patiently for his call. But when Li Xing finally does contact her it's to invite her to his wedding. QiaoQiao is flabbergasted and is determined to win her former flame back at any cost—even though the secret that forced them apart lingers. Can their love truly be reignited?
After accidentally knocking her best friend off a roof, Alyce is haunted by guilt and delves into a brutal nightmare wonderland of sex, drugs and violence, her mind tearing itself apart. . . along with anyone else who gets in her way. Director Jay Lee (ZOMBIE STRIPPERS) takes us down the rabbit hole and unleashes enough chaos and horror to satisfy any gore hound. Alyce Kills stars Tamara Feldman (HATCHET, "GOSSIP GIRL"), James Duval (DONNIE DARKO, DOOM GENERATION), Eddie Rouse (PANDORUM, UNDERTOW), Larry Cedar (THE CRAZIES), Yorgo Constantine (FAST FIVE), Megan Gallagher ("MILLENIUM") Rena Owen (ONCE WE WERE WARRIORS), Tracey Walter (REPO MAN, BATMAN), Bret Roberts (MAY, NIGHTSTALKER) and Jade Dornfeld making her film debut as the titular character Alyce.
The reinvention of Verdi's masterpiece, La Traviata, as sung by world-famous French coloratura soprano Natalie Dessay, is the subject of Philippe Béziat's thrilling new movie. A modern, minimalist, post-punk approach strips away the opulence and grandiosity associated with operatic productions. Concentrating on director Jean-François Sivadier's working relationship with Dessay, the film reveals how two great creative minds build the story of a doomed love affair. The stars rehearse in what look like yoga outfits, on a bare stage, with minimal props. The final production, set against a backdrop of sky and clouds, punctuated by a single chandelier, features Violetta and Alfredo (a darkly gorgeous Charles Castronovo) as the very essence of hipster-chic. Their passion, however, is for the ages. With music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Louis Langrée.
Charge captures a pivotal moment in motor sport history: the dawn of the zero-emissions racing era. It came on June 12th 2009, the day of the world's first zero-emissions motorcycle grand prix. The race took place on the Isle of Man TT course, the most demanding and deadly circuit on the planet. The film begins in early 2009 amid the hectic preparations for the race and concludes over a year later at the 2010 TT Zero. The second race sees a huge leap in performance – proof that racing really does improve the breed and that maniacs on motorcycles can be a force for global good. We follow the fortunes of several teams in the run-up to the 2009 race and on their return in 2010, from swaggering US hotshots MotoCzysz to shoestring Anglo-Indian contenders Team Agni and local heroes ManTTx Racing. Charge is the dramatic and highly entertaining inside story of an unlikely group of pioneers – obsessed visionaries, ambitious businessmen, new-tech eccentrics, government ministers and hardcore racers – from as far afield as India, the USA, Germany and Britain. It's a human story as well as a technological one: the teams' hopes for personal glory and commercial success ride on their green machines. It's about the dream of a clean, green world. It's about the dream of winning.
This comedy examines the wild, eccentric and remarkable story of mouth-guitar legend Darnell Dawkins (Ross Patterson), a childhood friend of JIMI HENDRIX who filled in for the legendary guitarist at Woodstock after Hendrix missed his flight. Though Dawkins' disapproving father fought hard to suppress any footage of his son's performances, this film reveals the true genius of the musician whose greatest instrument was his own body.
"Fill the Void" tells the story of an Orthodox Hassidic family from Tel Aviv.
Eighteen-year-old Shira is the youngest daughter of the family. She is about to be married off to a promising young man of the same age and background. It is a dream-come-true, and Shira feels prepared and excited.
On Purim, her twenty-eight-year-old sister, Esther, dies while giving birth to her first child. The pain and grief that overwhelm the family postpone Shira's promised match.
Everything changes when an offer is proposed to match Yochay – the late Esther's husband – to a widow from Belgium. Yochay feels it's too early, although he realizes that sooner or later he must seriously consider getting married again. When the girls' mother finds out that Yochay may leave the country with her only grandchild, she proposes a match between Shira and the widower.
Shira will have to choose between her heart's wish and her family duty.
A paraplegic man leaves home for the first time only to discover that life on the outside is not like he had imagined it.
Forced to repeat her senior year in high school, Claire's (Tatiana Maslany) reputation is sliding from bad-ass to bad joke. At night, she escapes to would-be rock star Jim
(Steven McCarthy), while at school, she bonds with Henry (Spencer Van Wyck), a nerdy freshman she used to babysit. Eventually, Claire learns the difference between sex, intimacy, and friendship.
George Plimpton hung out with U.S. Presidents, played quarterback for the Detroit Lions, forced Willie Mays to pop out in Yankee Stadium, photographed Playboy models, was named the "Most Eligible Bachelor in Manhattan" by Esquire Magazine, played goalie for the Boston Bruins, struck the triangle for the New York Philharmonic and acted alongside John Wayne, Warren Beatty and Matt Damon. Some of these things he did well. Some he didn't. But they were always amusing and inspiring. Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself is a film that joyfully celebrates a life lived fully, richly and strangely. In fact, for many, it's difficult to imagine this life was lived by just one man.
Three friends become trapped inside a supermarket in a deserted ghost town by an evil force.
Filmed with the startling immediacy of unfolding history, Academy Award-winning director Alex Gibney's We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks details the creation of Julian Assange's controversial website, which facilitated the largest security breach in U.S. history. Hailed by some as a free-speech hero and others as a traitor and terrorist, the enigmatic Assange's rise and fall are paralleled with that of Pfc. Bradley Manning, the brilliant, troubled young soldier who downloaded hundreds of thousands of documents from classified U.S. military and diplomatic servers, revealing the behind-the-scenes workings of the government's international diplomacy and military strategy. In seeking to expose abuse in the corridors of power, Assange and Manning were undermined by forces within and without, as well as by their own human failings. We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks is a riveting, multi-layered tale about transparency in the information age and our ever-elusive search for the truth.

Dolly Parton's was platinum, Nicki Minaj's was a rainbow, Pam Anderson's was bouncing on the beach and Snooki's was wilder than an untamed gorilla… but what did they all have in common? Their big bouffant hair of course! Well, toss your teasing combs ladies because Nick Chavez is back in the upcoming season of BeautyFix to bring us all up to this ever-desired bombshell hair level (literally, sky scraper heights)!
After years and years of bleach, dye, heat, distress, snags, weathering, teasing, etc. my poor mane is lifeless, thin and boring. This is why I am ecstatic to hear that Hollywood hair stylist, Nick Chavez is bringing one of his best products in the Advanced Plump 'N Thick Collection to BeautyFix. These Advanced Plump 'N Thick products are the absolute answer to our dilemma of lifeless locks in desperate need of high performance products. There are three products in the collection, the Advanced Plump 'N Thick Shampoo, Conditioner and Styling Mist. Let me tell you – after using them all, my strands have been as thick and voluminous as Carrie Bradshaw's pony that basically swallows up the streets of NYC as a snack.
The Advanced Plump 'N Thick Thickening Styling Mist is probably the most effective and efficient product in the collection, as it can be used on wet or dry hair. As long as you follow up with a little heat from the blow dryer, your hair is going to look extremely full and healthy – almost as if the past ten years of damage and thinning has been completely erased. The Mist is light and fresh so it doesn't weigh your hair down making you compromise volume for thickness. It is actually formulated with an ingredient called Ampli-filler which strengthens strands and plumps them up with collagen! (Kind of like the aforementioned female celebrities? Just kidding. Sort of.)
Get ready to swing your own Nick Chavez Advanced Plump 'N Thick Thickening Styling Mist in your BeautyFix bag to achieve the thickness of Nicki's coif or plumpness of Snooki's pouf! I am pretty excited about it… can you tell? FIST PUMP! Or should I say PLUMP?!

Step 4: What you will need...
- TL494 chip (Datasheet for TL494)
- 200uF (or 220uF) - 50v electrolytic capacitor
- 47nF - 250v (or similar voltage ratings) capacitor
- 100nF - 50v capacitor
- 10nF - 50v capacitor
- 2.2K - 1/4W resistor
- 10 ohm - 1/4W resistor
- UF4007 diode (or other fast diode that is rated 1A (or more) and 500v (or more)
- 10K - 1/4W potentiometer (same thing as a variable resistor)
- 22K - 1/4W potentiometer (same thing as a variable resistor)
- Audio jack
- Wires
- IRF540 MOSFET (other MOSFET's with similar ratings should work)
- Large heatsink
- Flyback transformer (can be found from old CRT.)
- 12v power source (for TL494 oscillator / I used a 9v battery)
- 12v to 40v power source (for the flyback transformer)
- Breadboard (for testing)
- Veroboard
- Soldering iron
- Wire strippers
- Wire cutters
- Pliers
- Helping hands
- Hot glue gun
- Good with a soldering iron.
- Can read schematics.
- Know what you are doing when you are dealing with high voltage.
Power supplies are not recommended as they have 'noise' in the lines, it will interfere the performance of the plasma speaker.
radioshack isnt the best place for components but batteries should be fine lol
Does anybody know the wattage rating of the components used? I'm an Electrical Engineering Technologist student and I'm trying to purchase the correct parts, but the wattage rating of the potentiometers, capacitors and resistors aren't listed. 1/4 Watt? possibly 1-3 or 4 watt?
I looked into the IC datasheet, it says, Vcc can be up to 40 V... Why is it 12V and not powered from the same powersource as the flyback?
Is it correct that I may put the 200 V diode in parallel with a 10 megaohm resistor, the 400 V diode in parallel with a 20 megaohm resistor and then connect them in series instead of a single diode rated for 500 V?
if not could you direct me somewhere i could find this
i've got the board completed, but i'm just waiting on a mosfet to arrive at my local electroics store along with the nte1729 (nte version of TL494).
also, on the flyback, for the windings, is it possible just to use a bare ferrite core and make the needed primary and secondary windings on either end of the unit?
i managed to score an old magnavox ferrite core.

Lenovo won us over with the original IdeaPad Yoga's multi-mode design, and now there's a little brother that will arrive just in time for the back-to-school season. The $799 IdeaPad Yoga 11s is only slightly thicker and heavier than the current Windows RT-powered Yoga 11 but switches the ARM processor for a Core i3 CPU that runs desktop apps.
Lenovo is targeting about 7 hours of battery life, which is significantly less than the Yoga 11′s rated 12 hours. However, we suspect a lot of shoppers will prefer the versatility of running legacy apps on this hybrid. After all, the Yoga 11s costs just $70 more.

That's not the correct picture of the Helix. That's a picture of the Lynx.
This error has been fixed. Thanks
Really liking the nearly unanimous transfer to touch enabled devices, hoping the technology (strong hinges, fingerprint reducer, etc) will continue to progress.
First thing I noticed is that many of these laptops look very similar to MacBook or MacAir. Continues to show that the computer makers have no imagination to create new, interesting, or distinguishing products.
Second is the price on these things. I see no compelling reason to spend that much on a laptop. The quality of theses laptops is yet to be determined, but I doubt that they put as much thought into copying the quality as they did about copying Apple style.
Yes, I do own MAC, but also have a Lenovo and Dell. Both of which sit in a closet unused.
The Asus Transformer Book Laptop looks like a 'suped up' Asus Transformer EEE / Prime. (Tablet / Detachable Keyboard combo.) Most impressive touting i7 chips and 500 Gigs! Looking forward to seeing one of these on the shelves. Asus has been bringing beautiful devices to market.
Hey GregW… I'll take your Lenovo sitting in your closet off your hands
i need help, always used PC Dell or others, i need to access my desktop thru remote workplace. i have an ipad, which i love, and was considering an mac book air, but apple does not allow active X to run in the OS so i cannot use remote work place, that leaves me with having to go with a PC– unless i am missing something? samsung looks good,
Why do none of these include clevo/sager laptops? In my opinion none of these aside for perhaps the Alienware 18x that is normally on the other sites that rate the gaming laptops, ever post the Clevo/Sager laptops (Sager is built on Clevo Laptops as are many ALienware laptops and others that are high end much more powerful machines. I owned to Sager for 5 years, the first to offer the 8800m gtxm and the only reason Im not using it now was dies due to damage of my own fault which I am having fixed. But I need a laptop right away for work and I want a 120hz screen, for many reasons. But as I was saying, places like sagernatebooks and especially xoticpc.com (that has the best customer service around) sell these clevo/sager notebooks and they have the best parts, service, customization, answer questions quickly and above all last longer without problems than any other laptops I've seen or used. They also have lower end laptops, using i5 instead of i7 chips starting under 1k. or you can go high end like the newest np9370 which starts with a 120hz scrooen in full widescreen hd, 680m gtx, or up gradable HDD, like up to 4 HDDs like a msata intel 525 180gb (or better this is just what I decided on based on my budget, up to 32gb ram ( if you go widows pro or ultimate, home only supports 16gb which is more than enough), bluray drive if you want it or use it as an extra HDD or SSD, etc etc etc. I cant list everything here and the the great and inexpensive warranties they offer and overclocking, color calibration, great skins, other parts like upgraded CPUs, etc. If your looking for a great laptop check out xoticpc.com and got to laptops and click clevo/sager and I suggest looking at the the last two rows at the bottom of the page, one even uses desktop parts. It all depends on if you need a lot of battery power, want more power like cpu and gpu power, etc. but I looked at many "Top 2013 laptops, including gaming laptops but none mention Sager, but many mention Alienmare which I find odd cause the same company that builds the base models for Alienware (clevo) also does that for Sager in my opinion they are better, offer more options and are cheaper my often thousands for the same parts. So check out sager bore making a decision and please look at xoticpc.com as they have price matching and offer great customer service including a lifetime labor warranty, I also purchase the 3 year parts warranty since it gives one piece of mind but never had to use it with my old laptop, LCD protection also available, great skins, etc. And great discounts especially if you may cash (check, money order, bank transfer), also often free upgrades and even sager offers discounts that they include. It depends on what your looking for but I think these sites should include sages and xoticpc.com because they truly are the best unless your looking for something other than raw computing power and speed. I am an end-user, not here for marketing, I just want to share my knowledge and experience. I owned one Sager bought from XoticPC.com, love it and still will be using it or giving it to my fiance when its fixed from the water damage on the keyboard, and cant wait for the new one. I think everyone should know about these, Ive owned a Apple, Dell and a few others but nothing compares. These are the specs on my next one and I will be adding another SSD and more memory myself:

Multivitamins are a combination of many different vitamins that are normally found in foods and other natural sources.
Iron is normally found in foods like red meat. In the body, iron becomes a part of your hemoglobin (HEEM o glo bin) and myoglobin (MY o glo bin). Hemoglobin carries oxygen through your blood to tissues and organs. Myoglobin helps your muscle cells store oxygen.
Multivitamins with iron are used to provide vitamins and iron that are not taken in through the diet. They are also used to treat iron or vitamin deficiencies caused by illness, pregnancy, poor nutrition, digestive disorders, and many other conditions.
Multivitamin and iron may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Never take more than the recommended dose of a multivitamin. Avoid taking any other multivitamin product within 2 hours before or after you take multivitamins with iron.
Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much of this medicine. An overdose of vitamins A, D, E, or K can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. Iron and other minerals contained in a multivitamin can also cause serious overdose symptoms if you take too much.
Iron and certain vitamins can cause serious or life-threatening side effects if taken in large doses. Do not take more of this medicine than directed on the label or prescribed by your doctor.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to take a multivitamins with iron if you have other medical conditions.
Do not use this medicine without a doctor's advice if you are pregnant. Some vitamins and minerals can harm an unborn baby if taken in large doses. You may need to use a prenatal vitamin specially formulated for pregnant women.

who is right, free will or determinism. ?
this is what i know ablout free will , that anything in this world can happen , there is always a free choice for events to occur.
and this is what i know about deterinism . that everything in this world is determined/ pre-planned and it can not be changed , events will occur as they have to .
with taking this knowledge into assumption , who is right free will or determinism.
lets put a hypothesis that determinism is right.
now in the end if we prove that determinism is wrong then the basic assumption contradicts with the result. so if you assume world to be deterministic , it wont allow you to be non-deterministic.
but lets just put a hypothesis that there is free-will in this world. that everything is possible. then if we conclude that the world is deteriministic , then our original assuption dont contradicts with our result. it means that free-will allows the world to be deterministic.
dont this proves free-will to be right?
Mar 26 2012: Given the paradoxical nature of the universe: From sub atomic particles having two distinctive natures at the same time (such as light being both a particle and wave) to how humans can live in a deterministic natural world and yet, with the right training and right attention break free from the chains of conditioning
I would have to say the answer to your question is both are correct
Mar 27 2012: convincing.....
agreedMar 27 2012: except the universe does not have a paradoxical nature
Mar 27 2012: Krisztian,
what many phyicist found out during Einstines time was that the Universe when redueced to its basic sub-atomic elements did indeed have a pardoxical nature. This made Einstine uncomfortable and led him to state "God does not play dice with the universe".
If you still think I'm full of it I suggest you really look up these:
EPR experiment (which Einstine took a part of). In this experiment EPR asserted that the univese is at its core phyiscal, thus there is a external world. You should also look up an analysis of the Alice and Bob cart theory.
Niels Bohr has a reponse to this as well so look up his response to EPR
John Bell, who created a theorem that validated EPR theory (this is known as Bell's Theorem) set up the theorem in a way (strawman) so if it was to ever be refuted in practice it would shatter the whole notion of EPR. This led Bell to eventually when a nobel prize because his theorem was dispproved which meant EPR was wrong.
The implications of this are profound because if Bell's theorem is wrong it only states that no physical world exist.
look it up
Mar 27 2012: i don't need to look up the EPR thought experiment, which meanwhile have turned into a real experiment. it says nothing about any paradoxons. it just shows that either our world is not "local" (scientific term) or quantum mechanics is not a final theory, just a statistical explanation of the world. einstein believed in the latter possibility. bell is believed to have proved the former, though it has been challenged by arthur fine, and the question is still open. but either way, there is no paradox here. queer is not paradoxical.
and about the so called dual nature of particles. particles don't have dual nature, they only have one consistent nature, only it sometimes resembles waves, other times resembles flying balls. but that is only a paradox in our perception. particles behave the same every time.Mar 28 2012: well sadly I cannot hold a discussion with someone who is unwilling to look at arguments counter to their case.
Secondly, no science ever claims to have a "final theory" and I never claimed that to be. As of right now and from what I read, studied and have been told, there are many particles that have two distinctive natures at the same time. Being that no on knows what sub-atomic particles look like, we really do not know the true nature of the universe but with the information that we have, it is more paradoxical (this word might not ever come close to what I'm trying to really say here). We are limited here by language but yes, depending on the experiment conducted, sometimes they would come off as wave and sometimes they would come off as particles but this does not suggest that there is one nature to it, it suggest multiple natures.
Third, when I mentioned paradoxical nature of the world I was talking about everything, from quantum mechanics to consciousness to free-will.
As humans we are used to describing things in binaries (either/or). This is something that we have been conditioned to do but when you think outside the box, you com to realize things really are in a way paradoxical and if you go to either extreme, you'll run into trouble.
Here are a few things that I believe to be paradoxes (AS OF RIGHT NOW):
Absolutism/Relativism (in the moral sense)
That is all I can think about at the moment
Mar 28 2012: But Orlando,
You are missing the main point: particles and waves are what we use to describe the phenomena. That does not mean that there is a double and paradoxical nature to these things. This means that sometimes one model works, sometimes the other model works. Meaning they describe or predict what we see in terms we are already familiar to. But maybe a new model might come later and be the one to describe both situations without having to change the perspective from particle to wave.
Same goes for other stuff. The math worked to predict interference and whatever else when they decided to pretend that particles go through one slit and the other (and visited the whole universe?), at the same time. But that does not mean that's really what's happening. Just that the math worked. I am aware that the equations seem to work great for a lot of stuff. Lots of precision and such. But I also read that equations (maybe not the same equations, but what the heck), get a cosmological constant quite wrong. orders of magnitude wrong. That would be a signal that should remind us that these are models, and that models try and represent reality, but are not reality themselves ...
Anyway, for the other paradoxes. You seem to have found your answer. Maybe it would suffice not going to extremes.
Anyway ...
Apr 17 2012: Sets of rules on every level of scale, big and small have been observed to govern the way stuff within and outside of those scales behaves to a greater or lesser extent in the universe. There does appear to be limits on the ability of some scales affecting others.
- 0
Your pour milk into your tea, each time the milk mixes with the tea a different way, but in the end you always have tea. The small doesn't necessarily affect the very large.
Humans have influence over many things within their lives; they can shine a torch, fly in a plane, but cannot change their parameters (the mug) which here could be the maximum speed of light of the properties of gravity.
A decision affecting the way in which the milk is poured into the mug is affected by a number of factors and/or other decision makers which are also constrained by parameters of the universe. It could be the case that the incremental, small changes that occur within these parameters after a number of events have knock on effects that could bring wholly different outcomes to others that were hypothetically viable to occur within the parameters.
But so far as I know. Events happened, they didn't happen any other way and only happened once. If you like the idea of cause & effect, an idea central to the scientific method which brings us all lovely stuff. Then determinism makes a lot of sense! The past is proof enough for me.
But honestly, asking the question of free will is like asking what is the meaning of life.Mar 30 2012: Hi Siddhesh,
What's the point if there's no free will?
DougMar 27 2012: Hello, and thanks for the question. I think it is a question Humanity will never know the answer to, because the answer involves Infinity. It is a question Humanity will spend a lot of time talking about, writing about and reading about, forever !Mar 27 2012: I'm not sure I understand your opening statement.
Maybe with enough understanding and computing power you could map out or predict every action or decision in the universe. I expect it would be near impossible to ever accurately and precisely map out everything in the known universe. We can't even get the weather forecast right.
It is so complex even to the level we understand. Near infinite factors and variables we know of. And as we get smaller down to cells and neurons and atoms and sub atomic particles and whatever they are made of etc etc its almost nonsense.
What is the next word I will type........I don't know?
From a practical human perspective we run mainly of auto pilot and any decisions we make have the appearance of free will.
I suggest the biggest practical impediments to freewill is our instinctual drives and responses. Our automatic habitual behaviours. Our intuitive decision making and assumptions. Our unconscious. You look like a person I know who scared me so I feel uncomfortable around you. Our biases and prejudices etc.
Mar 27 2012: agreed...
btw......i think when determinism says that everything is calculated .......its a result that we deduced like if we can say where an atom can be after some time we can say everything else. like its not impossible just very,very much difficult.
Mar 29 2012: Maybe absolutely impossible.
We don't know because we don't know everything about the universe.
Maybe everything is getting close to infinite.
At least Practically impossible.Mar 26 2012: I believe that free will cannot be uncoupled from the determinism that makes it possible. Here I see as in the case of 'cause and effect' the universality of the principle of complementarity. Our little everyday choices and big decisions create a kind of a field which predetermines our next choices and decisions: multiply it to the number of agents operating in the field and thousands of years of existence... and here we are. What you set as a cause comes to you as an effect and so goes on and on.
Mar 27 2012: i think our previous decisions cant be counted as deterministic , as they are originally done by us.
coz if it is so again my argument is valid that it will contradict itself.
also in your case free-will chose determinism ( as decisions made by us determiine other things. ) n as i showed above its valid. dont that proves free-will correct.?????
Mar 27 2012: Siddhesh !
I am afraid I can't help you here. You need certainty... either..or .., right or wrong. Maybe there is an answer but I don't know it.
And I am seriously doubting there is :)
For me the whole issue of freedom of choice and determinism goes into the melting pot.
Nothing is certain until it happens, but what happens should happen.Mar 26 2012: A little Christian perspective.
The bible gives an overview of world history from beginning to end. So far we seem to be 'on target". So things would seem to be predetermined.
God urges us to make the right choices; so we have free will.
But God knows 'the end from the beginning' because he is outside of time. So our free will is predetermined.
Simple; isn't it ?
(This is a personal perspective, & may have flaws)
Mar 26 2012: actually im an atheist , but still f you think about it...........
actually , what you are you talking about is from two different perspectives. like its determined from gods view and free-will'ed from mans.
also even though god is out of time how would it make any difference or to say that god's frame of reference is universal frame of reference that is right?
Mar 26 2012: Hi Siddhesh.
I agree; from our perspective we have free will, from God's it is predetermined. If the bible is right, then he created time. Science tells us that matter has to exist for time to exist. So he made the universe complete with time, it will run it's course, & he will remove it again.
The bible gives the gist of what has, & will happen. He knows it all, because he made the whole package. We however are part of the package, so we make our decisions as we go. The only clues we get are in the bible; when we have to make a decision we can get an idea of which way he would want us to go, but it's still our decision.
Mar 27 2012: hello peter,
i agree with you, that its different from 2 different perspectives .
do you mean to say that as god created world and he determined our free-will, so naturally world is dereministic.
also please explain "matter has to exist for time to exist?" and elaborate "he made the universe complete with time , it will run its course '& he will remove it again. (remove what again ? time ?)
Peter Law
Mar 27 2012: Hi Siddhesh .
- +1
Einstein discovered that time is dependent on matter existing. It's included in his theory of relativity. There's a simple version here.
So however the universe came into being; time came into being as well.
As I understand it, God inhabits a spiritual realm, which has no matter & no time. Eternity if you like. We also have a spiritual component by virtue of our relationship to him.
So, I believe God made the universe, complete with time. It will run it's course, as outlined in the bible, then it will be dissolved, & a totally new universe will be created suitable for spiritual beings; without time, presumably. This I understand from studying the bible.
:-)Mar 26 2012: Hi Peter,
would this also relate to Adam & Eve and the fall from the Garden of Eden? How would free-will play a role if, God had already pre-determined that they would eat from the tree of knowledge?
I'm interested in your answer because as far as I know, it seems unfair to punish someone for something that you created them to do?
Mar 26 2012: Hi, Orlando !
I agree with you. Seeing God as the Holy Other requires incredible manipulations of reality and enormous blocks and blind spots. I believe there is nobody to punish us, we are not punished FOR our sins but BY our sins. And maybe it will be interesting for you to know that the original meaning of the word 'sin' is 'to miss the target', so we can try again.:)
Mar 28 2012: Hi Natasha,
That is very interesting. I did not know that original meaning of the word sin was "to miss the target". We've been taught to think that its God's way of keeping track of the bad deeds that you did and all of our deeds could be repelled if we only come to Jesus and embrace God (or at least that is what I was told growing up). My question is, when did meaning of sin change from "to miss the target" to "your going to hell for your actions"?
Like you, I do not believe there is no one to punish us for the things we did. I think the fact that we experience suffering, guilt and pain is punishment enough.
Peter Law
Mar 27 2012: Hi Orlando.
- +2
You are going way beyond my pay scale :). This is something everybody struggles with. one thing we always have to remember is that our ideas are totally different to God's. Jesus said that whoever wanted to be important in heaven, had to be a servant of all. I agree with you, I don't think it's fair either. However it's what God thinks that matters, & my concerns will come as no surprise to him.
Okay, let's try & see God's perspective. Let's suppose you are in the market for a wife. Would you like one cloned from yourself & converted to a female. She would be a perfect match, & would agree with everything you said. She could be programmed never to leave you.
Or would you prefer a self willed young lady who has been around a bit. Had some other boyfriends, made a few mistakes. But when you met you fell deeply in love & you just knew she was the one. You both had to work at it, because you knew a good thing when you saw it.
I believe that in God's eyes, we are lady number two.
He wants a bride who will make life interesting.. He gave us free will knowing full well we would use it. We have been around a bit & made many mistakes. He & we have to work at a relationship. From his point of view we are worth it; worth enough to be crucified for. That's his downside, ours is of course separation from him for eternity; but that has to be our choice. Love has to be freely given to be worth anything. We are lumbered with an eternal soul, we have to be somewhere.
Personally I never give hell a second thought, I never had to. Atheists seem to major on it as a minus point for God, If you are worried about it then avoid it; if you're sure it doesn't exist, then why worry. No-one has to go there.
Mar 27 2012: convincing..........Mar 28 2012: Hi Peter,
Wow! I wasn't expecting that response. I'm quite impressed and you sort of had me stuck for a moment.
I can agree that such a deity, if it existed, would transcend our limited human knowledge but I do not think this is the God we are talking about here.
We are talking a God, who is a creator deity and is very much intrigued on what goes on this planet. A god with a personality who inspired groups of men to write a book about him and which millions of people not only debate and talk about him on a daily basis but have lost their lives over a simple belief or disbelief in him.
We are not talking about a God of great mystery or great interest here. We are talking about a God that we know very well because this God is not mysterious and according to many people, he is very active in human affairs.
So when relating this to Free-Will, I am talking about the God that everyone around the world knows pretty well and this God does not seem to give out Free-Will because he is thought to be omnipotent and omniscient.
when we are talking about free-will we are talking about random, spontaneous and events with endless possibilities. This would not fit the model of a being who is all knowing and very active in human affairs and would not think twice to punish them for their actions and this is the problem I see with the Fall:
It is either God's Providence or God is not all powerful, knowing, etc. Sad to say compatibilism (which is a philosophical way of saying the world is free and determined) does not fit with this model and I think it scares many people to think that God is not all powerful or knowing but what we do not realize is that these are characteristics that we've placed on God because we believe that such a being has to fit this description.
to be honest, many non-believers are not really concerned about hell. It is when we are told that we are going to hell for our non-belief that we raise questions.Mar 28 2012: Hi ! Orlando !
Here is the link
Mar 28 2012: Sin in its original sens would then just mean "effect". Not more nor less.Mar 29 2012: Hi, Frans !
Yes, it seems and it generates another cause... Still it looks like a trap...Cause/ effect, free will/determinism, one exists only by the virtue of the other.
Seriously, does God have free will ? For what exactly ? He doesn't do anything, he doesn't make choices, he simply IS. Time needs free will, Timelessness doesn't, for everything already IS and has always been here and now and forever, reconciled in all possible directions. Maybe we can exercise our free will, making only one choice : get out of the trap?! Stop making choices, do what situation requires here and now, but don't forget to " dethrone yourself from the center of your world, put another there and you'll transcend yourself ! " Free yourself from choices...
OK, got that off my chest, back to washing dishes, as situation requires. You know, it's not that difficult so far :)Mar 25 2012: Free will does not mean that anything can happen. Determinism does not mean that everything is "pre-planned," because "planned" implies agency, someone who decided things before hand. Anyway, I think that the two extremes are wrong, but that we have no way of figuring this out. In your examples you said that voting for determinism would be self-contradictory (or so it seems), but I differ. It might as well look as if you are voting and that you could have voted against, and still any of these actions be predetermined by the original movements of the atoms/energy/whatever of the universe. The "free-choice," which looks as if "free-will" would be illusory. If you vote for free will, it could still contradict reality, because your vote and beliefs could still be pre-determined.
Anyway, there are philosophers who think that nature could be deterministic and still compatible with free-will. I have not read what they say, but sounds as if they know what they are talking about. Maybe. I tend to think that the enthusiastic "give me the positions and vectors of every atom in the universe and I will tell you what happens next" (or whatever the actual quote should be), was just an exaggeration. It still refers to the way things seemed to work for physicists in that golden era. Still, that we have evolved these complex brains able to put together data means that, whether nature is deterministic or not, it is not precisely that predictable. That there is no way one life form would have known that a tiger would be hiding there, that the tiger would not know when precisely to come and eat somebody and thus hides. Thus, we have no excuses. If there is no "free-will," there is enough noise that something resembles it all right. Thus, let us try and use it for the better.
Mar 26 2012: well , initially when we are starting our experiment we are assuming that we start from zero , so i dont think we can say that before deciding anything initially that decision is also goverened by free-will or determinism.
and also you said even if universe is deterministic its not precisely predictable , so dosnt that mean free-will right (assumin there is nothing like partial-determinism )
rest of the part totally agreed.Mar 29 2012: Hi Gabo,
That is one of the points that I was making and I have made this clear several times.
I understand that experiments can manipulate the results that you get but you've missed one point I made:
You mention mathematical theory and in my first post that is exactly what I was refuting when I mentioned Bell's Theorem and how it disproved the theory set up by EPR
the reason why I mention the universe having a paradoxical nature is because for us human beings, the natural world comes off as physicality and sometimes solid matter. This is something that EPR asserted.
Most people when studying Quantum Mechanics tend to think that a conscious observer is impairative for the make up of the physical world. They also believe that the true make up of the universe is non-physical . Others would assert that a conscious observer is not needed because things exist as they are, with or without us.
Now am I stating this as fact? not at the moment but then again, the evidence so far rejects many notions made by the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
So call it what you will, if its not paradoxical and I'm using it in the wrong context then find a term what describe the world the way it is (of course if there is one)
Mar 29 2012: elusive at times. :-)Mar 25 2012: My understanding is ------Determinism is to be understood in the sense that one does not have full control over events that take place... in that sense whatever happens can be said to be destined or predetermined.
Free Will is to be understood in the sense that I have the freedom to react, to any event, in a number of different ways, and the final choice that is made is always mine.
It is of course possible that these 'free choices' I make will probably influence future events over which I supposedly have "little control".
Mar 26 2012: i dont understand what you are trying to say?Mar 25 2012: Both can be right until any or both of these two becomes threat to humankind

|Fante's Cousin Sandro's Meat Grinder
Just like Bubbie's
NO, we are not giving up our packaged grounds - not unless we hire a full time cook and personal butcher. Happily we buy kosher, so we are more confident about quality and consistency because our meats and poultry have an extra layer of supervision, sourcing and transparency. But, when we do have time and when we want the best – we have started to grind our own meat. Just as we enjoy baking homemade pastries and breads, but also utilize the convenience of a bakery, when we have the time, we grind away. Yes, just like our grandmothers – remember that ground by hand chopped liver? In fact, the new tool we are using is so similar to the classic model that mom and Bubbie used—Fante's Cousin Sandro's Meat Grinder.
Why grind? Most meat mavens agree that grinding provides a major upgrade in flavor freshness, balance and quality. It's really easy once you get the hang of it. Plus, YOU have the control – and what can be better than complete control when preparing food. Experts also say that grinding at home reduces the risk of E. coli contamination. So for better burgers, meatballs and ground meats - get cranking.
Chill and Cut

The history of ice cream is a messy one. Many nations claim to have invented it, just as various individuals take credit for it. Even if its origin remains murkey, it makes for a chilling drama!
A.D 54–68: For centuries, iced desserts were a luxury. Roman Emperor Nero is said to have sent his slaves into the mountains to fetch snow to mix with nectar, fruit pulp, and honey, although this widely told tale may be a myth.
A.D. 618–907: The origins of ice cream date back to China's T'ang period, probably as a dish for the country's rulers. The founder of the dynasty, King T'ang of Shang, kept 94 "ice men" on hand to lug ice to the palace to make a dish made of koumiss (heated, fermented milk), flour, and camphor.
1744: American colonists brought along recipes from Europe. On May 19, 1744, a group of VIP's dined at the home of Maryland Governor Thomas Bladen. Present was a Scottish colonist who described "a Dessert...Among the Rarities of which is was Compos'd, was some fine Ice Cream which, with the Strawberries and Milk, eat most deliciously." This is the first written account of ice cream consumption in the new colonies.
1782: Ever hear how Martha Washington left a bowl of sweet cream on the back steps of Mount Vernon one night, and the next morning discovered ice cream? Nice story, but not true. George Washington did have, described in his ledger, "a cream machine for ice."
1843: Until September 9, 1843, ice cream was made by the "pot freezer method," but on this day, Nancy M. Johnson of Philadelphia got her "artificial freezer" patented, containing a tub, cylinder, lid, dasher, and crank. This design is still widely used today.
1851: Baltimore dairyman Jacob Fussell opened the first commercial ice cream factory. He had a surplus of cream—so he built an ice cream factory in Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, and shipped it to Baltimore by train. Business boomed, and Fussell became the father of the wholesale ice cream industry.
1880: Buffalo, NY; Evanston, IL; Two Rivers, WI; and Ithaca, NY all claim to have invented the ice cream sundae. Wherever it happened, it first started appearing in soda fountains during the 1880's. It was invented because ice cream sodas weren't allowed to be sold on Sundays; the ice cream sundae was a way to circumvent that restriction. On September 22, 1903, there is a recorded application for a patent for the ice cream cone by Italo Marchiony.
1939: Grocery stores didn't start selling ice cream until the 1930's, and by WWII, ice cream had become so popular that it turned into somewhat of an American symbol (Mussolini banned it in Italy for that same reason). Ice cream was great for troop morale, and in 1943, the U.S. Armed Forces were the world's largest ice cream manufacturers!
Whatever the history, ice cream is here to stay!

Afternoon Performance
Relâche in Residence
Relâche, Philadelphia's internationally-renowned new music ensemble, presents a new three-concert series, "New Sounds and Cinema," featuring both commissioned music and live accompaniment to old silent films, at the Penn Museum. The series is part of the University of Pennsylvania's Year of Sound.
Relâche concert tickets are just $10 for Penn Museum members; $15 for the general public, in advance or at the door, while supplies last. $10 for Penn students with PennCard at the door.
The first program, "Relâche Classics and Silent Comedies" is Sunday, November 24, at 3:00 pm in the Museum's newly renovated Widener Hall.
Program Details:
The octet, comprised of winds, strings, keyboard, and percussion, opens its first program with Eric Moe's gripping Eight Point Turn, commissioned in 2001. A Relâche standard, Tom Albert's serene A Maze [with Grace] is followed by Raymond Scott's madcap The Penguin, arranged for Relâche by Darin Kelly.
The second half is devoted to three silent films with the musicians providing live accompaniment. The dream sequence from Beggar on Horseback (1925) involves an impoverished composer, played by a young Edward Everett Horton, who contemplates marrying the daughter of a wealthy industrialist with comically surreal results. The program concludes with two Relâche commissions accompanying two comedies by Frenchman Max Linder, who was an inspiration to Charley Chaplin. Be My Wife (1923) is a film Linder produced in Hollywood and features Max as a comic suitor, sweet and sincere but also quite clumsy and heavy-handed. The pop-oriented score is by Chris McGlumphy. Chuck Holdeman wrote and conducts his period-tinged music for Max fait de la photo (Max Takes a Picture) from 1913. This riotous short has Max pursuing a bathing beauty who eludes him, disappearing under the waves, and a brilliantly frantic Max Linder swings into crisis mode.
"Relâche Classics and Silent Comedies" is supported in part by generous individual donors and Penn alumni, Eileen Baird; Pauline A. Candaux and Solomon H. Katz, Ph.D., GR67, HOM72; Lily Ferry and Peter C. Ferry, C79; Pamela Freyd, Ph.D., GED68, GR81, and Peter Freyd, Ph.D., HOM64, PAR; Betty and James M. Matarese.
Mark your calendars! The Relâche series at the Penn Museum continues two more Sunday afternoons:
February 9
Buster Keaton's 1926 comedy, The General (based upon William Pittenger's The Great Locomotive Chase). Keaton's masterpiece film runs in its entirety, with original music from the Relâche commissions library, music by the famous cartoon and experimental composer Raymond Scott, and live commentary about the film.
June 1
Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 silent film, The Lodger with music by Joby Talbot, arranged by Darin Kelly for the Relâche Ensemble, and live introduction to the film.

- Photos of Serving Up For Sandy Tennis Event
HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac University men's and women's tennis teams joined the United States Tennis Association Connecticut (USTA-CT) in hosting 'Serving Up For Sandy Hook,' an afternoon of tennis, fun and games at Middlebury Racquet Club on Sunday afternoon. All proceeds raised from this event went directly to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund through the United Way of Western Connecticut.
"We were thrilled to be part of such a wonderful day of tennis," said head coach Mike Quitko. "Amy Read and the USTA put together a fantastic event in which my players and children from the Newtown area really enjoyed. From the number of smiles I saw on the faces of the children, I'd say the day was a great success."
The event offered fun tennis games for children and interaction with professional and collegiate players. Among many others, kids chose from cardio tennis, red, orange and green ball courts, a "carnival" for kids, pro-am points and beach tennis.
"The day was exactly what we were looking for," said Middlebury Racquet Club Professional Amy Read, who played a very large role in making the event happen. "We were looking to reach out into the community to get everyone in here, having fun, meeting new people, playing tennis, having fun, and we did just that. We can't thank Quinnipiac enough for coming out and how tremendous they are with the kids."
USTA New England, one of 17 regional sections across the country that comprise the United States Tennis Association (USTA), is a not-for-profit organization committed to promoting and developing the growth of tennis and increasing participation in the sport throughout the six-state region, by offering quality recreational and competitive programs for people of all ages and abilities. Founded in 1927 as the New England Lawn Tennis Association, USTA New England now boasts nearly 34,000 individual members, 650 organizational members and a professional staff of 19.
Quinnipiac fans should refer to the Official Website of Quinnipiac Athletics, www.QuinnipiacBobcats.com, for the latest news, scores and highlights. The 2012-13 Quinnipiac Women's Tennis Schedule is also available for download at www.QuinnipiacBobcats.com for all mobile devices, including iPhones and iPads, as well as all desktop computers.

The speaker system is powered by the minty boost USB charger. Plug in your ipod and listen to some sweet tunes.
There are four legs that retract from the suitcase so you can prop the suitcase up and use the surface as a table.
I've recently gotten into re-purposing suitcases. I've found lots of great inspiration online for fun projects. This project was more of a hybrid of things I've seen plus a few new ideas of my own.
Step 1: Materials
1. Suitcase - find a suitcase hard shell. I love this old vintage Samsonite suitcase! However, the edges of the suitcase are curved and this cause a few problems in mounting the legs and hardware. I would suggest finding a suitcase or briefcase that has 90 degree edges (box).
2. 4 Leg Braces - I bought these locking leg braces from McMaster Carr (#2). Let me tell you, I spent a good amount of time figuring out the best way to mount the legs and this was definitely the best option. I'd love to hear other ideas on what could work. I liked these also because the legs sit nicely inside the suitcase and are easy to prop up and lock.
3. 4 Legs - I cut 4 pieces of 1" x 1" wood at length 12"
4. Speakers - I know a little bit about electronics but not too much. Instead of creating a speaker system from scratch I just bought an inexpensive USB powered computer speaker system. It came with all the parts I needed, all I had to do was take it out of its case. Heres a link to the speakers I used.
5. Minty Boost - powers your speakers and is simple to put together. You can buy this here.
there is a youtuber named kipkay that did a good video on this suitcase speakers and everything.
Thanks for letting me know!
please tell me about your modifications. Love the clean look! Is the inside original or your fabric?
I love this so much! As soon as I find a suitcase I'm making one ;-)
I'm wondering about the leg length - I wonder if it would be possible to cut the depth of the legs in half and attach the "second half" of the leg to the bottom part of the first piece with a small locking hinge so that the table could potentially be twice as tall yet the legs could still fold and sit nicely on top of each other inside the suitcase. This would make sitting on lawn chairs a lot more doable.
Great tutorial and I can't wait to try it out myself
I do love this idea. Frequently I see old suitcases and wonder what to do with them so I don't bring them home. A cube like one would be great too- make the (presumably short) lid the table and have access to the food, etc. left inside the (presumably larger) bottom part.
Great job! Thank you for the inspiration :)
In any regards, this is so cool.
Tunes and a glass of wine at the park, who can ask for more?

I never saw anything in this article that is different from what we read yesterday.
yet everyone reacts as if it is. too funny. how can anyone judge anything with any credibility when you dont even know what your reacting to?
And besides, its not like Jake had a complete disaster of a year. He really just had a couple of bad games. He didnt live up to his own standards. So he had a new system he had to deal with with diff snap counts and plays, but its not like he was god awful at it.

It is a sight that a generation of Yankee fans will remember vividly and fondly forever - the great Mariano Rivera smiling brightly in celebration of another big save on a beautiful night in The Bronx. So why is it that publishers have never commemorated this future Hall of Famer with a poster of his own? It is a question that has astounded us ever since we started this business in 1997 - so finally, we decided, enough was enough - let's print one of our own! In the classic poster style of the 1970s and 1980s, SportsPosterWarehouse.com is proud to present Mariano Rivera "Game Over", an instant classic featuring the most indispensable Bronx Bomber of the modern championship era! With simple white-bordered design, and absolutely perfect, breathtaking photography of the Panamanian legend approaching long-time batterymate Jorge Posada mere seconds after nailing down another Yankees victory, this is the ultimate commemoration of the legendary closer. The background of this image makes it a true work of photographic art - with a wild celebration in the stands, and a dejected Boston Red Sox baserunner heading to the visitor's dugout, it truly captures what pennant-race Yankee baseball is all about.
With a production run of just 2,000, this is one of the most scarce Yankee posters ever produced, and, believe it or not, is the first regular-issue poster of Rivera to come off the presses! This beauty deserves a prominent place on the wall of any true fan - a must-have addition to your sports wall-of-fame. And, if you are lucky enough to meet Mariano in person, this is the perfect poster for autographs, with its abundant white space at top. Limited quantity available - don't miss out!

CF Industries reports higher earnings on low natural gas prices, high nitrogen demand
7:09 PM MST | November 5, 2012 | Lindsay Frost
CF Industries posted net income of $403.3 million, 22% higher than the same 2011 quarter. Diluted earnings of $6.35/share beat analyst estimates of $5.70/share, according to Thomson Reuters (New York). However, sales were down 3% year-on-year, to $1.36 billion because of lower total nitrogen volume and phosphate product prices, which were partially offset by higher phosphate volumes—with total sales volumes dropping due to lower urea sales. Fertilizer markets had strong demand in North America in anticipation of high levels of crop plantings expected for...

Think tailgating is a beer-swilling pastime for college kids and race fan types? Time to lose those stereotypes and experience this classic American tradition for yourself.
"The roots of tailgating stretch all the way back to the Civil War," said Southern epicurean/lifestyle columnist Doc Lawrence, managing editor of Wines Down South. "It was born out of college football, but is by no means confined to college football today … The Grateful Dead did wonders to popularize tailgating, and you still see a huge amount of it at Jimmy Buffett and Willie Nelson concerts."
While Lawrence and other tailgating fans agree that the South is the heartland of tailgating, people from Michigan to California have gotten into it – whether because of team spirit, its social aspects, or purely for the food and drink. And this last aspect, by all accounts, is getting better every year.
"Ten years ago, it was pedestrian," said Lawrence. "Now, at the major tailgate events, you find great sophistication regarding food, flavors, music, and friendships."
Further evidence of this trend can be found at the Great Southern Tailgate Cookoff, an annual event organized by the Amelia Island (Florida) convention and visitors bureau. Rather than building off athletic team affiliation, this delicious summer party brings barbecue teams together in competition.
"We started the Great Southern Tailgate Cookoff as a way to celebrate three great Southern traditions: the beginning of the college football season, cooking out with friends and fans of your favorite school, and going to the beach," said CEO Gil Langley. But Langley also said, "There tends to be a lot more time and effort put into preparing and enjoying the food, drink, and entertainment experience of tailgating when people know they don't have to pack up and head into the stadium."
