Ligety leads from the front: 2 races 2 wins for HEAD
Ted Ligety made it a second victory of the weekend for the HEAD World Cup Rebels in two days with a commanding win in the opening men's World Cup race of the season. Fastest on the first run, Ligety kept his cool despite making a small mistake mid way down the long pitch leading to the flat into the finish. With 14,000 ski racing fans basking in the sun, Ligety gave notice that he is still the man to beat in the Giant Slalom.
Miller was the first of six HEAD World Cup Rebels out the start gate on the second run and the power and determination of the American was evident as he attacked the course. A small error crept in and the lead he had built up evaporated in the sun and he drifted into third in the finish. Gauthier de Tessieres could not match Miller and Miller's time held up for a podium spot for a number of racers.
Such was the tightness of the times, when Kjetil Jansrud came down from eighth after run 1; a small error saw him take the place behind Miller by five hundredths. Considering he had been suffering from a small back pain Jansrud was pleased with his result. The two would eventually place nine and ten. Aksel Lund Svindal was disappointed with his race as a whole and especially the second run yet held on for twelfth.
There is nothing like pressure and Ted Ligety thrives on the stuff. With young French star Alexis Pinturault in the finish and leading, Ligety had just over three tenths advantage over the Frenchman. The race was pure theatre and a huge advert for ski racing. The star of the show was Ligety as he dealt with the "gnarly course" and used the information radioed up by Miller "about the bumps on the steep" to good effect as he was able to attack. With this win Ligety was also able to give his rivals notice that he intends to approach the Overall with force and meaning this winter.
It was known that Ligety has been skiing fast in training but he explained after the race "you never know what is going to happen. I have been training fast but it does not count until the race." This was race win number nine for the World Champion who is looking for his fourth Globe this season to go second equal on the all time list.
Two races over the weekend and HEAD World Cup Rebels made the top step their own!
1. Ted Ligety (USA) HEAD
2. Alexis Pinturault (FRA)
3. Philipp Schoerghofer (AUT)
9. Bode Miller (USA) HEAD
10. Kjetil Jansrud (NOR) HEAD
12. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD
14. Gauthier de Tessieres (FRA) HEAD

Does anybody out there know what kind of equipment skrillex uses to make his mixes fused with dubstep? Is it purely software or does use a mixed setup? I am curious how he sets up his samples, and then drops with gnarly screams, scrathes, and other noise effects he throws on his tracks.

He uses software and hardware synths - including his main one, the FM8.
Some speculation on the dubstep forum that he uses Guitar Rig for some distortion effects.
To be honest this is probably the best source for information: How To Sound Like Skrillex & Make Skrillex Bass - a plethora of links, tutorials and discussion.
At a broad level, he uses Ableton Live, which is popular with many similar producers such as Deadmau5. He also uses a Pioneer DJM 800 mixer and an EFX 1000 for effects.

Rational Therapeutics
When facing a diagnosis of cancer, there are many questions to be answered. Do I need chemotherapy? What drugs or combinations are going to be best for me? How does my physician choose?
Rational Therapeutics is a cancer testing laboratory that helps answer these questions. By testing each patient's living tumor tissue, the Ex Vivo Analysis of Programmed Cell Death (EVA-PCD) functional profile identifies in "real-time" which therapies amongst many comparable choices are the best for you, a potentially life-saving decision.
Unfortunately, most oncologists today must guess which therapy will work based on standard protocols and the "average" patient. This can be detrimental to those who do not respond to the initial treatment. Our test helps to eliminate that guesswork, and our results are outstanding, in many cases doubling response, time-to-progression and survival.
With these results, your oncologist is equipped with personalized information to make the most informed decision to treat YOUR cancer. Truly Personalized Cancer Care.

For immediate release - November 19, 2013
If you think of Hanukkah as the Jewish version of Christmas then you need to come to the W. T. Bland Public Library's Celebrate Hanukkah program on Thursday, December 5 at 4:30 p.m. You will learn the real reason for this festive Jewish holiday. Rabbi Geoff Solomon of the Traditional Congregation of Mount Dora will talk about Hanukkah and its customs. You will learn about the menorah, how to play the dreidel and the significance of the food ser ved during Hanukkah. Best of all, you will get to taste the foods associated with Hanukkah. The Hanukkah Readers Theater returns this year and you, the audience, are the stars of the show.
Hanukkah (or Chanukkah), the Jewish festival of Rededication, also known at the festival of lights, is an eight day festival beginning on the 25th day of the Jewish month of Kislev. In 2013, Hanukkah will start at sunset on Wednesday, November 27 and ends at nightfall on Thursday, December 5th, 2013. For the first time since 1888 – and the last time for another 70,000 years – a rare calendrical phenomenon will bring Thanksgiving and the first day of Hanukkah together this year.
Hanukkah is probably one of the best known Jewish holidays, not because of any great religious significance, but because of its proximity to Christmas. It is bitterly ironic that this holiday, which has its roots in a revolution against assimilation and the suppression of Jewish religion, has become the most assimilated, secular holiday on our calendar.
The Celebrate Hanukkah program will be held at the W. T. Bland Public Library located at 1995 N. Donnelly Street in Mount Dora. All library programs are free and open to the public. For additional information, call (352) 735-7180 option 5.

JPAS presents MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET
A Christmas Classic is Brought to the Stage Just in Time for the Holidays!
Do you believe in Santa Claus? A holiday movie classic is coming to the stage this December. Celebrate the magic and the joy of the holiday season with the Jefferson Performing Arts Society's production of MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, on stage December 5-14 at the Jefferson Performing Arts Center, 400 Phlox Street in Metairie. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sundays at 2pm. Janet Shea directs this heart-warming Christmas story.
Tickets are $25-30 for adults, $22-27 for seniors and military, and $19 for students (with valid ID), and $12 for children (12 and under). For tickets call 504.885.2000 or visit www.jpas.org to reserve your tickets today!
This stage version of MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET brings the film's warmth and heart vibrantly to life. During the Christmas season of the late 1940's in New York City, Kris Kringle, a kind-hearted old gentleman, falls into the job of portraying the Macy's Santa Claus. Kris, however, claims he is not just Santa Claus for Macy's but the real Santa Claus, himself! When a store employee gets Kris in trouble, it will take the faith of a child to convince the grown-ups to believe in Santa Claus and the magic of Christmas once again.
Nine-year-old Jenna Ibieta stars as Susan, the inquisitive little girl who convinces the grown-ups to believe in the magic of Christmas. Jenna is already a veteran of the JPAS stage having appeared in several productions including Ruthless! The Musical as Louise Lerhmann; Annie as Molly; and most recently the JPAS Summer Musical Theatre Camp's Westbank Production of Once Upon a Mattress as Queen Aggravaine.
Playing the role of Kris Kringle is Ford Dieth, Jr. He returns to the JPAS stage after appearing in the JPAS recent production of All Shook Up. Ford has also appeared in the JPAS productions of La Traviata, A Christmas Carol and The Great American Trailer Park Musical. When not on stage, he is a fifth grade teacher at Christian Brothers School and lacrosse coach for Christian Brothers and De La Salle High School.
MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET also stars Jennifer Delatte as Doris, Susan's mother. Ms. Delatte was recently seen in JPAS's Madama Butterfly in September. Actively involved in local theater, other recent roles include Emma in St. John Theater's Jekyll and Hyde.
Kris Shaw stars as Fred, Doris' romantic interest and Kris Kringle's lawyer. Shaw was recently seen in the JPAS production of All Shook Up as Jim. He is no stranger to local theatre audiences having played such roles as: Melvin P. Thorpe in Le Petite du Vieux Carre's production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas; Antonio Salieri in JPAS's Amadeus (for which he received the Big Easy Award as Best Actor in a Drama); Albert in Bye Bye Birdie and Albin in La Cage Aux Folles with Tulane Summer Lyric.
The cast also includes: Lynne Lawrence (Miss Adams), Jason Kirkpatrick (Mr. Shellhammer), Peter Gabb (Dr. Pierce), Charles Bosworth (Mr. Macy), Melinda Falgoust (Cleo), Angie Joachim, Aaron Reichert, Lauren Gibson, Kristin Schafer, Molly Richard, Madeleine Bourgeois, Kyle Marcon, Anna Dawson, Stephanie Maerke, Chris Turgeon, Jeff Underwood; Valerie St. Amant, Richard St. Amant, Brian Rosenthal, Nina Ballon, Hanna St. Amant, Lainey Farber, and Alyn Wallace as various parents, children, holiday shoppers and more.
MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET is presented and sponsored by Entergy. Novel by Valentine Davies. Adapted by Patricia Di Benedetto Synder, Will Severin and John Vreeke. Underscoring and song by Will Severin. Originally produced by The New York State Theatre Institute. Directed by Janet Shea. Scenic Design by Randal Parsons. Lighting Design by Ryan Hauenstein. Costumes by Kelly James-Penot.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 157 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by EMal Just Love it! I am very pleased with this product. It has all the necessary compartments you will need for a carry on. I got the red quilted one and it is beautiful and well made. So happy I found this... an on sale! Another reviewer indicated the tote band that is used to slip over the luggage is twisted. Mine was too but then I realized that when you straighten out the band and snap it underneath on the button it actually looks much better and it leads me to believe there was no error. The band now doesn't show the snapped button. Works just fine. First picture shows how the tote band came and the second shows when I unsnapped and resnapped underneath. You judge. July 26, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaxx 360Degree Spinner Ultra-Organized Rolling Carry-on I LOVE this set! I have the previous incarnation of this luggage, have taken it around the world several times and it's been a favorite. This new version is even more amazing. The swivel wheels allow it to easily pass down even regional jet aisles (and crowded boarding areas) sideways. the net pocket fits a water bottle, rolled magazines or umbrella perfectly with easy access. The heavy zippers and ergonomic pulls operate smoothly and are easy to grasp. I can lift it easily, even when packed for a 7 day trip (it has a multitude of packing helpers built-in), into the overhead, and both it or the tote will fit under the seat. I can get my purse, laptop bag, camera and all my essentials for longhaul flights in the roomy tote (keeping me within the 2 bag boarding limit), which piggybacks beautifully so I never have "travelers neck" strain. I have the black patent (because it is BEAUTIFUL), and will probably order the ballistic cloth version as well for travel to more rustic locations. Score TS! November 6, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by topaz2250 Essential Travel Bag I bought the black patent quilted bag and it looks very fashionable, often eliciting compliments from strangers. On a trip last week, a woman in the Atlanta airport and another in a Los Angeles hotel asked me where I bought it and took the Travel Smith website address to buy one for themselves. This is my second bag, it is slightly smaller than the earlier version and the wheels easily rotate in all directions, allowing me to roll it down the aisle of the plane lengthwise without picking it up. It is very roomy inside, with room to put my laptop inside it along with other electronics (iPod, GPS, eReader) and any number of other items. Two things I would change: (1) the zipper on the main compartment does not align properly with the back part of the zipper, making it difficult to zip, and (2) it needs a water bottle holder on the outside of the case. The zipper on my first case malfunctioned, also, so this is a design problem. When this case wears out, however, I will certainly buy my third case. January 25, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by MountainBloomer GREAT Travel Set WOW I got the red patent 2 piece set just before a 6 day round trip coast to coast for job interview. Not only did this combination of bags hold everything I needed, I got loads of complements too. Day after it arrived I took it to a local sign shop and had a heavy duty vinyl "monogram" in black put on the front of both pieces. Looks terrific! In the tote I put my laptop, my large straw handbag with it's usual contents, bags of trail mix & water for the flight. In the rolling bag, I had 2 pairs of shoes, gown & robe, unmentionables, a swim suit, 2 slacks and several mix and match tops, plus a couple of scarves to dress differently everyday, and my cosmetics bag. My companion traveler even commented on how many outfits I had out of that small bag. Of course several pieces were Travel Smith items that roll up tightly and then shake our with no wrinkles. All this and it is a breeze to maneuver and stow overhead. PS. I am anything but petite so these were large size clothes. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT June 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by iTraveler Love It! I just received this bag today in the black patent. I bought it to use as a carry on for our trip to Europe for a 12 night cruise. The small outside front zipper will be perfect for travel documents. The larger outside front pocket fits my iPad with case comfortably with room for pens, Chapstick, hand sanitizer, etc: things I may need to get to easily on the plane. The inside seems the perfect size for a bathing suit, pj's, pair of shoes and a few outfits, in case our luggage is delayed or lost by airline. The main reason I chose this is for the size. It has the slot on the back so that it can fit on top of regular full size luggage. This is important for us, as we have an early flight after our cruise and will be carrying our luggage off the ship ourselves early in the morning with cranky teenagers. I also love the tote that came with it. I plan to pack it in our suitcase in case we return with lots of goodies! May 23, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by DebbieT11 Too cute, but zipper flawed I purchased red quilted patent set - and it's too cute! I had three women ask me where I got it on the first trip I used it. wheels run smoothly even over carpeted aisles, and spinner works like a champ.Interior of rolling bag is designed well, with straps to secure items, and some other organizing features. Nicely done. The less-than-favorite bits.... patent doesn't slide easily during security checks. zipper on rolling bag doesn't match well close to sliding handle. sliding handle doesn't lock at less than full extension. strap on tote to secure to sliding handle keeps coming unsnapped. These are minor issues, with the exception of the zipper, so I'm keeping this set. But I'd definitely not buy the patent look again, no matter how cute it is...... go for the nylon. June 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by ohana efficent carry on Wonderful! The spinner wheels are the best, can maneuver it in the small airplane aisles. Love all the pockets. I can carry 3 days of clothes in it. Love the free tote too. I put all the things I need for the plane ride in it -book, knitting, sweater... August 29, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by azfemale Disappointed This bag was exactly the size I was looking for. I wanted something smaller than the usual 20-21" carry-on bag, but I didn't want a computer bag or garment bag. The material and interior were good quality. I wasn't thrilled with the pouches at each end of the interior. They seemed to take up too much space. The fold up tote was heavy canvas which implied it would wear well, but it was heavy to carry even when empty. What convinced me to return it was the slide up handle. It had too much 'wiggle' to it and only held in place at the upper most position (which was too high to be comfortable for me... I'm 5'6") And the wheels didn't work well if I tried to use it on only 2 wheels like in the picture. I ended up returning this set and then I found a Delsey Helium bag in the same basic size for about $80 and the handle holds at 4 different heights and the wheels move easily no matter how I pull the bag.

Georg Cantor was wrong about infinity. Greatest Mistake in History True Infinity explained
Infinity - boundless endless = ∞
Mathematics/universe - bound end = ()
Cantor said ( ∞ )
Greatest Oxymoron in existence
Cantor did find something, however it is not Actual infinity.
What he found:
The infinite possibilities within the core of our numerical system, the Number 1.
ALL types of numerical expressions, be it fractions, decimal points, percentages, whole numbers etc are different ways of expressing this one number. Hence,
What Cantor perceived to have found = ( ∞ ), an infinite restricted by time and space
What Cantor actually found = ( 1 ).
Now to what I found about the number 1 in finite. (1)
There are many ways to express mathematics, but what is the core?
x, ÷ , √ , Etc are grouped and fancy symbols explaining the only two symbols. + and -.
Every mathematical expression can be explain by these two symbols. Remembering maths is finite, this numeric 1 is comprised of or subject to
( + | - )
This is Theory of Everything.
Quantum Mechanics states for nothing to create something, laws must be in place for nothing to produce something.
How do you explain this. Easy....
+ ( + | - )
This is the link between Quantum Mechanics and Gravitational Physics.
Even a law however is not nothing, but something. It is an action and must proceed an entity.
1 + ( + | - )
What is 1 added onto finite or 1 added onto Mathematics as the equation shows.
It is ∞.
1 + ( + | - ) = ∞
The Actual True infinity
This means
If we add 1 onto finite addition itself, we have infinite positive and respectively 1 added onto subtraction itself, infinite negative
1 + (+) = + ∞
1 + (-) = - ∞
Religiously what does this mean?
God (1) created (+) everything ((+|-)) and after judgement day (=), depending on our free will choices, we could end up in either heaven ( + ∞) or hell ( - ∞ ).

Aug 19 2012: i like this postmodern poem
some rhymes here and there would be nice thoughSep 3 2012: All the Gods you mentioned are restricted by mathematics. We are within finite. Which one of suggested finite Gods created finite. As my whole arguement is from the initial post till now, finite is within the infinite but can not be the other way around.
So which one of these finite Gods is infinite?
Sep 3 2012: Infinite Gods = Infinite
You know what, I give up. It is Groundhog Day again and again, and you are my tormentor. ;)Sep 2 2012: That is exactly my point. Cantor said there is brackets around the infinite and that there are an infinite amount of possibilities within the number 1.
You are just agreeing with me and rejecting Cantors concept of the infinite.
The only possibility of the actual Infinite is outside of finite, then 1, with the infinite possibilities is the infinite in totality.
In all honesty it doesn't bother me if you accept heaven and hell, based on the dicissions you made within the finite, as long as you can see where the mistake of the greatest mathematician in recent history is, I've been successful in promoting my findings.
Sep 2 2012: No I am not agreeing with you at all sir, because you say
Infinity = 1 God
whereas I say
Infinity = Infinite Gods
Big difference.
Sep 2 2012: We already agree that the number 1 has infinite possibilities and can explain itself and every other type of number in existence. There is no other number that exists.
The misunderstanding of infinite stems from most thinking there could be multiple infinites. Truth is only 1 infinite can exist that everything else is a part of and not Seperate.
In my terminology 1=God. A 100% complete being with infinite possibilities; the Omni.
If God is multiple Gods, or as you state an infinite amount of Gods (any more than 1), then could you really have an infinite? It would not be all encompassing because a Seperately unique infinite would exist.
You do not have to call it God, but we already know thanks to Cantor the infinite possibilities of the only number; this is quite easily seen even with our restricted perception.
The same rules also apply to beyond the brackets.
If 1 is complete (100%) and can explain itself and every other numerical possibility,
Then how can we have any other number?
Now let me ask this religiously,
If God is complete (100%) and can explain himself and every other created possibility,
Then how can we have any other God?
Do you see my point my friend
Jon Ho
Sep 3 2012: No, we simply are not in agreement at all sir!
- +1
You equate :
1 God = 1 and
1 God = Infinity
Whereas I say :
Infinite Gods = Infinity
You are God, I am God, everyone on TED is God. The unborn child in your wife's belly is God, you dead grandfather is God. The moon, the planets, the stars, the galaxy; the whole universe is God.
But this has degenerated from Theoretical Mathematics into Religious Philosophy, and like I said, I'm not touching that with a 10 foot pole.
Thou Art God. ;)Aug 26 2012: Wow! There is so many things wrong with your theories... Where do I begin? Hmmm..
Ok, first. Mathematics is NOT bound. Order theory, a branch of logical mathematics that deal with upper and lower bound is just a sub-'set' of it.
Second, after reading your hypothesis and watching your video, I've concluded that you are stating the exact same thing as Cantor and his theory of Actual Infinity. Huh?
The third and final thing is... I hope by Zeus that you are a REAL mathematician and not some bloke who randomly surfed a Wikipedia page and then decided to make a Youtube video out of it.
Why? Because what Cantor proposed, and basically what you proposed, is an idea where any attempt at a definition will simply lead to contradiction. I mean does the uppermost infinity and lowermost infinity even makes sense?
Here's some simple equations to help you out:
∞ + 12 = ∞
∞ * 131567.121313 = ∞
∞ / 12.892 = ∞
∞ - 789.2324 = ∞
( ∞ ) = ∞
Notice the last equation? Get the picture?
Here's question, how do you divide by 0? Like, how do you solve this equation:
12 / 0 = ?
You can't, because it is basically a contradiction! Read here http://www.math.utah.edu/~pa/math/0by0.html for more info about the mathematical theory of contradictions.
Aug 28 2012: I apologies for the numerical response
1. Mathematics is restricted by the number 1. As I stated before all we have in our numeric system. It either exists, even for calculating purposes can be created by imagination or it doesn't exist. You can go as far as to say even the things/value/entity we imagine are restricted by what the individual has experienced. This means time becomes another major restriction of what we can contemplate or that exists.
Also Mathematics is the art of deriving a final outcome. It is not the subset. Everything is dependent on Maths.
Therefore It is restricted by time and space. Our current mathematics only exists because of these fundamental properties and the number 1.
2. Cantor stated that we can have infinite possibilities within the finite. What he really was studying was the infinite possibilities within the only number, However my argument is we can only have infinite outside of finite.
3. All this comes solely from me and is not taken from any other. Not wikipedia or any other source.
When it comes to deciphering logic it doesn't matter what your academic background is, look at the greatest mistake from Cantor ( ∞ )
In regards to your comments about contradiction, firstly all those different values are a part of the number 1 or derived from it.
I should state You are correct in your equations. The only problem is all your proving wrong is not me but Cantor. Again my equation shows that the infinite is equal to 1 outside of finite and existed before us and will after.
Cantor ( ∞ )
Me 1 = ∞ outside of ()
In other words all those different variants you mentioned in your examples are again only exaggerating the core, the Number 1 within finite (1) and it restricted by mathematical law (+|-).
Thank you for your criticism
Sep 2 2012: ∞ = ∞, there is no ∞ outside of ()
∞ is not equal to (1)
there is no -∞ or +∞ because, again
∞ x 1 = ∞
∞ * (-1) = ∞
There is no heaven or hell infinity... and personally, I wouldn't even go there, no sir, ain't gonna touch that with a 10 foot pole hahaha ;)Aug 24 2012: I thank you for your response and your criticism.
I do consider the universe and it's restrictions as everything, but not totality.
Anything that is restricted and finite, be it our mathematics or our known universe, even if in future another universe is found, these are a part of that everything.
Outside of the finite however there is an infinite, which I do not consider a part of the restrictions. A creator does not need to be a part of the creator, a simple example is if I draw a picture, I am not a part of the picture even though it is my art.
The way you are describing Totality, as you have titled it, is how Cantor perceived it, that is the infinite possibilities within the finite, hence no bound or end.
My argument is we must come to accept that the infinite can not, in any shape or form be restricted.
We must look before and beyond the Time Space ideology in order to understand how big is the infinite, in totality.
I again thank you for your response.Aug 20 2012: Repeat the same pattern far enough and you will get to the initial creation of finite, what was before finite?
You can't say it was a giant mass or a gaseous glob because these theories are still within the bounds of mathematics. As I stated in my last post, any concept we come up with, imagine or dream is still restricted by the Individuals experiences.
Linda as i stated before i really cant be bothered arguing. lets forget the whole argument and refer our posts back to the related equation, the reason for the initial post
Aug 21 2012: I am not arguing I am critiquing your theory. I never said you were wrong. I am reasonably sure you are, but you seem to have a problem addressing breaches of logic in your theory for some reason. You prefer to counter what I posit. To the point of telling me that I interpreted your logic wrong instead of taking ownership that maybe the logic and/or presentation was flawed.
Note part starting at 12:30 mins.Aug 20 2012: Ok Linda, I really don't have the patience to argue he said she said, if you believe I said God is restricted I apologize, if your referring to my examples of religious beliefs and have confused it I again apologize, I really can't be bothered arguing.
If you wouldC like you can quote me the 3 times I said God was within finite, if it makes you feel happy.
In regards to your infinite universe, your entitled to your opinion and I applaud you for your decision.
I also believe there was something before the big bang, the question then arises what was before that.
You see what your stating is still within finite, it still agrees to our law of mathematics. Using the process of elimination we get to a point where we are left with one initial creation, maybe it was an energy form or a speck of dust, maybe just the higgs by itself but yet again, whatever you believe was before the big bang unless just the governing laws and a creator of the laws, a positive and a negative is required for that entity to exist, hence it is still finite.
quote: "Everything from one single giant mass to some amorphous gaseous glob to the dimensional evolution of the universe."..... All of the examples you gave are calculable, measurable and still restricted by time and space. What was before these?
What I mean is you said ,"the space it occupies will continue to exist. Even if the matter does not". What your referring to is a perfect ideology, please don't misunderstand me, however it is still restricted.
Just to justify my reasoning
Say I die now, your correct my energy remains but I cease to exist in a matter form, how did my energy come to be BEFORE I was born? It means that energy was something else's energy to begin with, and so on and so on,
I'm restricted by requiring earthly bound materials to exist and the earth is older than me, so my initial creation of matter for me to be a physical being must be a part of the earth, what existed before the earth?Aug 20 2012: There's also one fundamental aspect of the equation about the infinite being OUTSIDE the finite
Whatever we think, dream or imagine is still restricted by our personal experiences even if what we conjured is illogical and impossible.
So we can never understand the deity or try contemplating. Even though I have defined it as 1 and ∞. the deity being outside our boundaries means he can't be contemplated because we are within
(+|-) mathematical boundaries.
In summary, the infinite possibilities we can think about are still finite.
So again Linda I am against the ideology that The deity or any part of the deity can be within boundaries as stated by others.Aug 20 2012: I guess waiting on line at the bank just feels like forever.Aug 19 2012: The universe is subject to time and space, it is not infinite. These 2 equal and opposites are the reason we can study our universe
You are correct in saying zero for a reason, before the brackets is an unseen, after the brackets is yet to be seen.
Another way of explain it is by seeing what other beliefs see.
Let me explain it this way
1= ∞ outside finite, God
+(+|-) - atheist, understand natural law exist
1=(+|-) - pantheist, the universe is God
(1= ∞ ) - Buddhism, look within yourself to find personal Nirvana
1=+=(+|-) = ∞ - Christianity, father (1) holy spirit (+) son (+|-)
Jesus said, father (1) is greater (+) that I (+|-)
Genesis 1:1 ...God (1) created (+) heavens ( ∞ ) and earth (+|-), or the finite is within infinite, not vice versa
Islam Surah 112, Say he is 1 (1), on all whom depend (+) he begets not, nor is begotten (+|-) and none is like him (∞)
and so on....
The equation explains a lot of unanswered questions
Like for example
God does not change the mathematics, he could but won't. He does miracles by setting the mathematics before the creation is created, so Moses parting the ocean already had its appointed time to do so.
It explains "natural selection" is Gods selection.
It explains how we have free will, (+|-) and that he merely only sends guidance, it your option to emit positive or negative energy, bit like ying yang
Please people put it to the test, if possible.
Aug 19 2012: Still do not agree that the universe(s) = (+|-). It is US that is bound to time and space not the universe. And if god = (1) means that he/she is finite which makes no theological sense. It would mean that god is bound by time and space which means that god is mortal (has a beginning and an end). You can convince me that heavens are bound infinity but not the universe(s) because we can come up with a definition of where the heavens end and heavens do not describe infinitely small.
It also does not make sense that free will = your equation for the theory of everything = earth = gravitational physics. Free will does not equal gravitational physics. Taking some big leaps here but the error lies in bound infinity. Bound infinity only describes mathematics.
Aug 20 2012: God (1) is not finite, it is outside of our finite, outside the brackets of restrictions. Outside of finite 1= ∞ so God is infinite, but it is one.
I never stated he is within finite, I however showed the different belief structures and how they have understood it to be so.
I sincerely apologize but what is your definition of universe?
The deeper we understand our universe, as present, the more we understand that "our universe" had a beginning from the initial big bang. The further we look, the more it agrees to our logical laws, even if sometimes it might take some time to understand the logic.
Also we can measure our universe, ever heard of light years? If something is measurable and calculable it falls within the vicinity of finite and mathematics.
Einsteins E=mc2 and the theory of relativity helped established the boarders of finite, it's beginning and it's end, or it's boundaries.
In regards to free will, all things in our universe is comprised of positives and negatives, ask a scientist.
When looking at the equation from a scientifical perspective we understand the (+|-) exist.
When we look at it from a morale perspective, we understand we have an option of doing whatever we feel, as long as it is within the laws of mathematics (+|-), as stated before, our option to either emit positive energy or negative energy, follow a positive path, or negative path. On the day of judgement (=) your deeds will be tallied, where you can end up in an infinte positive + ∞, heaven or infinite negative - ∞ hell, respectively. The choice of the afterlife depends on what you chose between the boarders.
Cantor was the one who stated infinity has bounds, hence I call it the greatest oxymoron in existence. I state that infinite can not be within our bounds and what Cantor was looking at was the infinite possibilities within the number 1.
Aug 20 2012: No the universe does not have a beginning. What was it before the big bang? It did not just go poof into existence. It existed in some other form. Probably in one or two dimensions. There is no more or less of anything in the universe than any form it has ever taken in the past. There will be no more or less of anything in the universe in the future in whatever form it becomes. There are more universes and dimensions than we can perceive because we are bound by our 3+1 spaccetime..
When you put 1 in bound ends (1), you are saying that the number one is finite so god = (1) is mortal, even god = (infinity) is still mortal.
The symbol (+|-) in all your equations has different meanings:
theory of everything
gravitational physics
natural law
the universe
God the son
begotten person
free will
According to you, those are all equal. Then you use parenthetical bound ends and apply different meanings. For instance () means restricted by time and space but (1= infinity) means personal Nirvana or restricted to person or being. The theory doesn't work because there is no consistent interpretation of the symbolic meaning. You jump all over the place and make huge leaps in logic like god the son equals gravitational physics. I might not be a theoretical mathematician but I can follow an argument.
The theory of relativity only works in the finite 3+1 spacetime. It only describes the very big not the very small so it has an end. It falls apart at the quantum level and when you begin to explore additional dimensions. We do not live in 4+1 spacetime but we can conceptualize a tesseract. And what is light in five dimensions?Aug 20 2012: Mind my crudeness Linda but within your argument there is not only major flaws but what you have interpreted what I have said is disastrously wrong.
Let me intially point out I am not against the concept of multiple universes or other dimensions, however as of current this is an assumption and not based on any substantial evidence. Even if they do exist, the question arises what was before that, as stated by yourself. The other point is if we do find it, it means it can be understood, contemplated, calculated and measured, also subject to time and space, which again would mean it has a beginning and an end or finite.
As I state in the video link, even if we find another universe, we must eliminate them from the list in order to break it down to its core, to find the initial beginning.
Secondly Science and especially Physics has proven we have a beginning and our universe began with a big bang.
Quantum Mechanics says before the big bang we can potentially come from nothing, if laws are in place for nothing to produce something. Now remembering this let's go back to the equation
1 + (+|-) = ∞
The natural law, the laws that Quantum Mechanics states or the governing universal laws is the addition symbol before/outside of the finite. The intial explanation of the finite one (1) is not God. This is what Buddhism and Cantor said, not me.
The earthly bound son, or the divine being on earth is a Christian belief structure and also is related to Cantor and the Buddhism perspective, again not me. It is our numerical system, a creation, a value, an entity that's restricted by mathetical law. Arius at the time of Constantine argued in regards to not believing that the infinite can be within finite, unfortunately Athenicios won the argument and the Nicea council excepted his perspective.
I state specifically the 1 God CANNOT be within finite and inifinite cannot be in finite, it must be outside.
In other words some of our religious structures need tweaking and are slightly wrong
Aug 20 2012: There is no initial beginning. That is a human construct. No, physics has not proven that there is a beginning and it was a big bang or that we came from nothing. That is simply the reference point where the math begins. There are several different theories about the state of the universe before the big bang. Everything from one single giant mass to some amorphous gaseous glob to the dimensional evolution of the universe.
The problem is that this is not my argument but yours. You are the one that posted that god = (1) THREE times between your posts. This is what I was pointing out as your whilly-nilly use of parentheticals invalidates the entire logic.
And yes, I think that the universe exists outside of time. It is us who reference the universe from the point of time. For instance, I think Chicago exists. I think it existed at 3:00 yesterday and will exist tomorrow at 3:00 even though I cannot prove either one of those events. I can only prove that Chicago exists in the fleeting moment of now. Did Chicago always exist? No,. It was something else before and it will be something else after. I can theorize what it was before and what it will be after but the three dimensions of space it occupies will continue to exist. Even if the matter does not.Aug 19 2012: I am not sure I agree with "mathematics/universe - bound end = ()" Only integers have bound ends. Real numbers are uncountably infinite. So while mathematics may have bound ends, the universe(s) do(es} not. So you cannot assign a positive or a negative to infinity. Bound ends just help the finite human mind to control or quantify infinity because it is us who exist in time and space. You even state that math is finite and infinity by definition is not.
I really am not a theoretical mathematician that is just how I understand some of the basics of infinity.Aug 19 2012: Can you define "God", please, for those who haven't been to theology class?Aug 19 2012: Personally I think if God (if existed) had a numerical value assigned to him/her then 0 (zero) would fit perfectly because.
1 = Creation
Zero has no value UNLESS a value is added 1+0 = 1
If the value is subtracted then it's no value - no thing - nothing
and since 1+1 = 2 and does not require a zero to add value we can assume that 1 (creation) has greater value.
Another way to look at it is
1+9 = 10
The zero defines a new cycle in this instance but still has no value because 10-19 describes the next repeated cycle as 1-9
1 = creation
0 = god
An analogy
If nothing - no thing existed, sand, water, planets, people and so forth, didn't exist - can we say that God exist? We cannot say this because we are not here to recognize it or claim it. Therefore without anything it's nothing = 0.
So who created the 0? We did
Why was the 0 created? To improve our value??? No, to define a cycle
Where did it all begin then?
At 1-9 and evolved to 10-19 and
Note the 1-9 cycles On left

The story of the 'secret' room at Pixar
Yeah, we heard about it.
Truthfully, I thought everyone knew about the 'Lucky 7 Lounge'. It's a secret room at Pixar that's really not so secret now. But I took a quick poll of some friends and coworkers and drew a blank, so here goes.
It was a nook, really, created by the shape of the building around it and the needs of the air conditioning system when the company's new headquarters were built. Animator Andrew Gordon discovered it while investigating a human-sized hatch in the back wall of his new office. After finding that the tunnel ended in a 'lost space', he decided to start decorating.
In this clip from the Toy Story 3 bonus features, shared by Scott Myers at The Blacklist, Gordon details the discovery and decoration of the room. He also goes into how it was found by Pixar Director Andrew Stanton and, eventually, CEO Steve Jobs, who thought it was super cool:

Georg Streitberger used bib number 1 to its full advantage as he shared the win in the first of two downhills scheduled for Kvitfjell with Kjetil Jansrud. With poor weather forcing the course to be shortened to its minimum length and rain threatening the race actually happening, the two HEAD World Cup Rebels shared a famous win with Travis Ganong taking third.
Streitberger was the first man down the shortened track and despite there having been a training run in the morning, Streitberger used bib number one to the maximum advantage: "I have to say, it was a shortened downhill and the conditions were difficult, but I am glad I was able to make 100 points. I pulled number one. I tried to do good and it has paid off for me," he explained before adding "I like the hill here, but this morning when I saw the rain and fog I didn't like it as much. I didn't want to start with all the fog and snow but now I think it was perfect! I think starting first was a good thing and I put down some good skiing…better than in the last races."
This was the second time Jansrud has won on the Olympiabakken track and was also his second career World Cup win. After the race he said "from the middle off it was good. For my race number (bib 15) I'm very satisfied and of course happy about my first downhill victory." Approaching the finish Jansrud made a mistake that cost him the win but he was still happy.
Neither racer was unhappy with having to share the win: "Sharing or not sharing it's still a win. It's a cool thing. One minute and five seconds of skiing and you manage to go inside the same hundredth, it's pretty exciting. It happens now and then and it's a way of the sport, actually, but I'm just excited I was just not one hundredth behind," explained Jansrud.
With Aksel Lund Svindal placing fifth he closed up on Marcel Hirscher in the race for the Overall. Svindal has two more speed races in which to gain more points towards the Overall over the weekend. Svindal explained his run: "It was not bad, but not good enough. … I had a small error. If the race is only a minute long then you have to have error-free skiing. The plan was to take the lead today. To be honest it does not run as good as in December and January. I have to fight."
Despite finishing fifth in the race, Aksel Lund Svindal cannot be caught in the race for the Downhill Title with two races to go.
