"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I originally a had another high end sub combo in mind. But after doing my homework I decided to go with JL Audio and boy am I happy! These bad boys POUND! Make sure you buy an EBC for your amp because some songs will leave you deaf. I was also very surprised on the size of the box, I still have plenty of room in my trunk. Pros: Great sound Tons of Punch Handles quick bass kicks Perfect size Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfection Written By My_Fast, Philadelphia, PA on Thursday, August 12, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been waiting a long time to purchase these subs and box. I can tell you the anticipation was not wasted. I bought these mainly for Rock, Heavy Metal and hard hitting music. It simply is perfect and everything I was looking for and hoping for. I have a Clarion DPX15511 powering them and they handle the power very well. The 2,000 watt peak is great as well as 1,000 watt RMS. The size is surprisingly tiny considering what's inside and what they are capable of. I have them in the back of my hot hatch; a 2008.5 VW GTI 2 Door. I highly recommend these subs, you will NOT be disappointed. (This teamed up with a JL HD 600.4 powering Polk MoMo 6.5" component speakers. Brilliant. All coming from an Alpine x305 supplied by Apple lossless music on my iPhone.) 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The PowerWedge enclosure is properly sized and tuned for the mounted dual 10" JL Audio W3v3 woofers and wired for a 2-ohm load. PowerWedge Enclosure: The PowerWedge enclosure features solid V-groove MDF construction with internal bracing to ensure structural integrity. The subwoofer enclosure features an angled back design to help save space in the cargo area of your vehicle. The W3v3 PowerWedge enclosure is finished in high-grade automotive gray carpet and features two steel-mesh grilles to protect the two loaded JL Audio W3v3 woofers. The JL Audio PowerWedge enclosure features a pair of gold-plated 5-way binding posts on the left side of the box. The 4-ohm woofers are wired in parallel inside the box to provide a 2-ohm load at its speaker terminals. The JL Audio subwoofer enclosure has a installation depth of 12.125". 10" W3v3 Woofer: The JL Audio PowerWedge subwoofer enclosure features two mounted, front-firing 4-ohm 10" JL Audio W3v3-series woofers wired in parallel for a 2-ohm impedance load at the enclosure's speaker terminals: Dynamic Motor Analysis (DMA): DMA is JL Audio's proprietary method aimed at improving dynamic motor behavior. As a result of DMA optimization, W3v3 motors remain linear in motor force over a very long range of excursion, and also maintain a highly stable fixed magnetic field in the gap over a wide power range. The result is vastly reduced distortion, faithfully reproduced transients, and tight, clean, articulate bass. Floating Cone Attachment Method (FCAM): JL Audio's patented FCAM technology is an innovative method of bonding the surround/cone assembly to the voice coil/spider assembly. This assembly technique ensures proper surround geometry in the assembled speaker for better excursion control and dynamic voice coil alignment. Vented Reinforcement Collar (VRC): The Vented Reinforcement Collar is a composite structure that addresses two issues related to reliability. By reinforcing the critical junction between the cone, voice coil and spider, the VRC greatly reduces failures due to glue breakdown or material weaknesses. It does this by greatly increasing adhesive contact area and providing stress relief to the spider material at excursion extremes. the VRC also feature slots that facilitate air flow directly onto the voice coil windings to reduce thermal compression effects and enhances reliability. Spider/Lead Wire Assembly: The W3v3 features a unique spider, coil and terminal subassembly which is assembled prior to installation in the speaker frame for optimum alignment and glue-joint integrity. The spider is insert-molded into a composite carrier tray which also incorporates the terminal assembly and lead wire strain relief features for enhanced reliability and optimal alignment of parts. The flying lead wires are carefully controlled and strain-relieved without resorting to woven-in lead wires, which can degrade spider performance. Elevated Frame Cooling: The elevated frame design of the W3v3 delivers high-velocity air flow through slots directly above the top plate to the voice coil of the speaker. This not only enhances power handling, but also sound quality by minimizing dynamic parameter shifts and power compression. Surround Stress Relief: By creating a radiused feature on the edge of the cone, stress is relieved from the surround material at maximum forward excursion, resulting in longer life and more consistent surround behavior.

Is it possible to extend the working distance on macro lenses? I will be renting a 100mm 2.8L and Canon 1.4x III (for a different lens), but it sounds like I cannot use the extender on the 100mm. Is this true? Is there any other way to open up the working distance of the 100mm?

Use a third-party teleconverter like the ones branded Kenko, Tamron, or Soligor. Unlike Canon or Sigma ones, these do not have a protruding front part that needs to slot into a corresponding airgap at the rear of the lens it is mounted to.
I've used the Canon 2x extender with my 100 2.8L macro, combined with extension tubes. I used it for increasing the maximum magnification, but I supposed you could also use it to achieve the same magnification at a greater working distance.

All of us can make a difference..and here is how! "Small community talks"
I am sure all of us have an urge to make a difference and bring a change to the community by some means and hence we are part of this respected and resourceful TED community!
But how far have we gone to bring about change that we want to see in people around us, our neighbours, our friends, colleagues, our community etc. Be it anything from sharing your experience that should teach someone a lesson to influence people to live a healthier life to educate underprivileged children around us or to make someone a better person.
Being a TED Speaker is probably the best possible way to reach millions of people. But to positively change and influence our closest ones in our community or circle, all it takes is an idea and a voice!
Share that one most important thing that you want to share with your community that can make a difference in their life.
(This idea is truly inspired by the whole idea of TED! The rich and thoughtful knowledge it imparts in its viewers effectively)
Jan 9 2013: I would want to share how changing a few small things in the course of a day can have such a profound effect. The idea that if everyone in my community took a shorter shower would save X amount of gallons of water every year for example. I think sometimes the issues we encounter seem overwhelming, but bringing those issues to a local level and showing people how these small changes could change things would be an awesome way to reach out.
Jan 9 2013: Even a small positive change will have a big impact.. Thats one reason behind this idea.. Good luck to you.. Wish you find a way to reach out to people effectively! :)Jan 8 2013: It's a nice idea to have a community talk. Smaller will be more effective I guess as it will be more personal. But how can we set up a platform that people do take seriously. For example if I want people to understand the importance of following lane rules in traffic or something as simple as that, how can I reach out.
As these are facts which are obvious but not much followed in many places around the world, the person trying to drive home the point gets brushed away. i know TED's a serious platform but not so much for the underprivileged who find it hard to survive.
Let me know if you have any ideas on this.
Jan 8 2013: I guess the whole point of TED getting the videos translated in all possible languages is to reach people in all corners of the world.. If you find any video you want to share with someone (Who you think may not have access to TED) you can download it and play it to them i guess...
On Following traffic rules - That's a good point but could be very challenging to put it across. But if you can bring to notice of those people all the dangers they may face for not following rules, it can work to some extent.. Even if one in ten buys it.. its good right?? I think awareness of the danger is what is missing!
But I appreciate your thoughts on wanting to bring a change.. Good luck with it!
greg dahlen
Jan 8 2013: Probably I would emphasize courage, encourage people to be more courageous in their lives. Have the courage to be different, think for yourself, ask a new and different question, reach out to someone new, stand up for a difficult cause.
- +2
Jan 8 2013: Well said... Courage to stand against wrong or to be different should be nurtured by parents and teachers from a very young age, isn't it? But nothing is too late... I guess where there is a will there is a way :) ... I hope you are able to influence at least a hand full of people with your thoughts!
greg dahlen
Jan 9 2013: Yeah, per your comment below, I was trying to figure out where courage comes from. I don't know if it comes from parents, or teachers, or from within.
- +1
For me, courage has something to do with self-esteem. It's valuing your thoughts enough to stick with them even when the going is difficult.
It has something to do with self-respect. Many times in life I have to choose between doing the more courageous thing and the less courageous thing, and I always choose the first one. Because I would dislike myself if I chose the other.
It has to do with a desire to grow. Usually I find that the situations that offer the most chance for growth are the same ones that take courage. It makes sense, that the things that are difficult for you will also be the things that help you grow.
I have found that it's easier to be courageous if you have information, knowledge. Any time you choose a difficult position, it really helps to know a lot about the subject area where you have chosen your position.
I have found that to be courageous you have to be able to handle rejection. Many times I choose the courageous path, and I have to suffer a lot of criticism or outright rejection. But it's okay, I'm still alive. It's true, sometimes I get rejected, but more often I have enormous success.
Mohanapriya, those are some of my ideas about courage. Do you consider yourself a courageous person? Why, or why not? What are some specific areas where you show courage? Where do you think courage comes from?
Jan 9 2013: Yes I do consider myself a courageous person, I have always stood for the right things, Like I have supported many causes for empowerment of women and demonstrated against child labour (Although at small levels), all these needs some form of courage to go out in public and give our your views that you believe is right. This courage may be because of having valid information or knowledge like you said.
But there are some things I am not courageous enough to do - Like swimming in deep waters or driving a motor bike on busy roads (although I learnt both, fear always stopped me from proceeding). I rem as a young girl my mother would never allow me near water or never let me drive a bicycle as she was over protective. There was a lack of support from her on these aspects because of which I was unable to overcome these fears in later years. This is why I felt, when you are young your parents or teachers do to some level inculcate courage.
Jan 9 2013: Thanks Mohanapriya. I'm glad you feel courageous, I had been worried that you did not. I too have marched in a demonstration to make the streets safe at night here in my hometown. It was initiated by the YWCA (Young Women's Christian Association), yet many, many men marched, including the chief of police and the mayor.
Your mother may have done a good thing by discouraging you from swimming in deep waters or riding a motorbike on busy streets. It is good to be courageous, but both those things sound a little dangerous. One can take courage too far.
Yeah, I'm still not convinced it's your parents who inculcate it. Because then we have to ask why certain parents inculcate it, and certain don't?Jan 9 2013: Good point Paul Kirhagis. You nailed the topic I was pondering about.
But again I believe rather than talks alone being quantifiable is an aspect which is easily understood.
For e.g. in this case if we put up a noticeable LED display of how much water one has consumed (showing dollar costs or gallons consumed) and then making them realize how a slight change in habits can amount to something significant.
in fact putting up displays of pollution data in cities, printing costs in offices etc. can amount to a great deal of awareness as we have solid data backing our case.
Personally I think a good idea with data to support it's grounds is highly favorable to achieve positive effects.

Nashville resident Kree Harrison gave it a valiant effort, but in the end Candice Glover captured the title of "American Idol" on Thursday night.
A smiling Harrison gave a crying, speechless Glover a hug before Glover performed her new single "I Am Beautiful" on the show.
Glover's crowning marked the end of the journey for Harrison, who had largely received nothing but praise while on the show. A highlight came earlier in the season when Harrison covered Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make it Through the Night." The performance earned praise from judge Keith Urban, who said he thought she'd be a member of the Grand Ole Opry one day, and a Tweet from Merle Haggard, who complimented her voice on Twitter and said "a lot of people sing all (their) life, but never sing that good."
Harrison and Glover were largely absent from the first part of the two-hour finale, which was largely focused on eliminated members and surprise duets.
Janelle Arthur delivered a high-energy duet with The Band Perry on their hit "Done."
Frankie Valli sang with the season's five eliminated men from the Top 10; the season's Top 5 women sang with Aretha Franklin, who was not there but performed on a screen behind them.
Mariah Carey performed a medley of her hits. Emeli Sande sang with eliminated contestant Amber Holcomb. Psy took the stage with a gaggle of dancers, and Urban brought his band out for the television premiere of his new single "A Little Bit of Everything."
Then Glover and Harrison emerged to deliver impressive duets, Glover with former "Idol" contestant Jennifer Hudson on "Inseparable" and Harrison with Urban on his "Where the Blacktop Ends," featuring Travis Barker on drums and Randy Jackson on bass.
Even before her success on "Idol," Harrison was no stranger to the recording industry. She was signed to a development deal with Lyric Street Records at age 10, and moved to Nashville from Texas. The partnership ended two years later with no music released to the market. Since then she's played shows around Nashville and sang on the albums of her friends including Kacey Musgraves.

More than Coffee
By Krista Akers
A few years ago, an empty laboratory sat in the back of Nelson Science Center at Bethany College. Now, the smell of freshly brewed coffee wafts from its doors. Though many college and university campuses are home to coffee shops, Nelson 116: Coffee Shop & Smoothie Bar proves to be unique.
[imagebrowser id=26]
Nelson 116 is a living, breathing classroom led by students and focused on promoting Bethany's core values of community, sustainability, hospitality, and servant-leadership while maintaining the ability to adapt with the needs of the current student population. The space can continue to evolve, and we can further gain unique experiences.
Founding of Nelson 116
Six students originally were approached with the idea after Professor of Biology Mark McDonald and Campus Pastor Noni Strand agreed that providing a place to get coffee while the cafeteria was closed would be a great asset to campus. The students, also desiring some place opened in the evenings besides the gas station, loved the idea as well; and in February 2011, these founding members, Nichole DeChant, Marcy Erb, Michael Baker, Clint Jasen, Hannah Reber, and Lauren Von Klinggraeff, enrolled in a one-credit-hour Directed Independent Study (DIS) to develop the shop.
They decided to refurbish the unused lab as the future space of their project. Naming the brainchild Nelson 116 after its location in Nelson Science Center, they organized the restoration process of painting, flooring, and decorating. The founders valued sustainability, so development included volunteer labor from students and employees and using refurbished and donated material. For example, old desks were reused as tables and chandeliers once hidden in storage were hung from the ceiling.
To be socially sustainable, the founders created strong connections between Nelson 116 and other student organizations, academic departments, and the surrounding Lindsborg community. They constructed the shop with a warm, inviting atmosphere for gathering and learning. To be economically sustainable, they would employ students with federal work study funding and directed independent studies or senior projects. To be environmentally sustainable, they set green standards for Nelson 116 to meet. Though the coffee shop is still progressing towards these goals, it uses compostable cups and reusable mugs and focus on conservation and simplicity in its menu. Furthermore, a part of Nelson 116's mission is to educate our community about sustainability through this on-going process.
Incredible Experience
"It's pretty awesome that I've been involved in the opening of a business even though I'm 21 and a biology major," says von Klinggraeff. Students who participate in this unique atmosphere by working to gain management or financial experience, displaying artwork, or performing music boost their resumes with one-of-a-kind experiences all while on campus.
For example, I am completing an Experienced-Based Education (EBE) internship by managing Nelson 116: Coffee Shop and Smoothie Bar. The staff includes eight students through federal work study, and we are advised by Professor McDonald. The menu includes coffee, frappes, frozen and hot chocolate, a variety of tea, and smoothies.
A place of growth & opportunity
Nelson 116 hosted its grand opening on April 5, 2013.
Personally, I feel so humbled and blessed to be a part of Nelson 116. The experiences I've had have pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I've grown as a person because of it. It's absolutely incredible that I can include on my resume that I helped run a small business while taking 16 other credit hours. Plus, every day I get to practice my communication, time management, and other vital skills.
Because of that, I see Nelson 116 as a place of growth. Not only because we're continuing to strive for our goals for the shop, but also because people can come to grow themselves. This is a gathering space for building friendships. This is a meeting area for making important decisions. This is a stage for displaying artistic talents. This room echoes with opportunities.
Come visit the shop in person. In addition to delicious coffee and smoothies, Nelson 116 also has much to offer its students, customers, and surrounding community.

i am new to FARR, but i already found it as one of my favorite SW.
So i decided to plugin some more "awesomeness" to my FARR.
But anything that uses fscript.dll throws exception when reloading plugins in FARR menu(if installed when FARR is running) or "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" when starting FARR and then FARR crashes.
Other(think C#) plugins like FARRGoogleSuggest works, but when you install any fscript plugin (tried czechboy's console, timer, thesaurus and gogogadgetscott's clock) all behave in manner explained above. I tried installing latest windows scripting host, disabled usual "problem" software like antivirus and firewall, I found hotfix (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884538) to this behavior, but only for English windows and it wont install on my czech localized ones.
Using Windows XP sp3. Any help appreciated

Knox County – Monday morning, October 22, at 8:05, Indiana State Police and numerous other emergency personnel responded to the Technology Building on the Vincennes University Campus after a driver lost control of his SUV and drove through a classroom wall injuring a student. The Technology Building is located at 1200 North Chestnut Street.
Preliminary investigation revealed Damon Jones, 34, of Vincennes, was driving his 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe northeast on Chestnut Street when he suffered a seizure. Jones' vehicle left the roadway and traveled approximately 225 feet before striking a utility pole at Chestnut Street and Indianapolis Street. The impact with the utility police caused a major power outage on campus. The vehicle continued out of control for an additional 405 feet before colliding into the southwest corner of the Technology Building. The vehicle drove through the wall and traveled approximately 20 feet before coming to a final rest in a classroom occupying approximately 15 students. A 23-year-old male student from Bloomington was slightly injured when a table was pushed into his back. The student was treated and released from Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes. Jones was also taken to Good Samaritan Hospital where he is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

What's for Dinner? Part 88 [OLD]
Whether you are grudgingly wearing a scarf to the farmer's market, or basking in the sun as you tend the grill, spring is here, and our plates are changing with the season. What's for dinner, chowhounds?
After putting in all of the screens, we've woken up to a blustery forty-something degree day. Tacos don't seem to quite fit the bill, but I'm stubbornly going ahead with the meal.
To start we are having small salads, and a spicy corn soup (a recipe I found on Chow last summer, and really enjoyed--I don't strain it after the puree though). The boyfriend will then get to enjoy fish tacos, with shredded cabbage, and the cilantro lime crema-ish sauce that he eats with a spoon if I let him. I'll likely make a small batch of black beans for my own tacos . . . or use my own corn tortillas to make quesadillas to eat with the soup. If I do the latter, it is likely to be more work for me, and even more food for him, as the boy is incapable of ignoring the presence of melted cheese. I can't really fault him there, though.
re: onceadaylily
have you not tested out your reaction to fish yet, OADL? fish tacos are mighty tempting....
re: mariacarmen
I actually broke down and ate shrimp (Chinese food from a place that does not reward the vegetarian eater) only two days after I learned what it was like to look like bad wallpaper, and it, of course, happened again. And given that there may well have been fish sauce in the dish, in addition to the shellfish, it didn't really provide an answer. So, I decided to wait a few weeks, and let my system clear out before I tried again. I *was* thinking about trying it again tonight, but really regret not doing it a few days ago, when it was eighty degrees in our apartment, and a cold shower would have felt merely refreshing.
When I told my mom what was going on, she said, "Oh, no, honey! That's too bad. I guess you'll just have to eat . . . BACON!" and started giggling. I love her. ;)
re: onceadaylily
that's great - your mama knows where it's at!
re: onceadaylily
love fish tacos, and anything with melted cheese....why can't you eat fish, oadl? You probably have already told the story & I missed it.....
re: Phurstluv
The past few months, I've been getting hives when I eat fish. I was hoping that it was a specific type of fish that was responsible, or even something *else* that was in those dishes, but I think I'm just delaying the inevitable: admitting that my body is rapidly growing intolerance to fish. I haven't 'tested' shellfish yet (whenever I've eaten it, it was with other types of fish), so there's still hope for me to enjoy those delicious shrimp.
I ate a fish taco last night, and I got the hives. Boo. It was a damn good taco though. ;)
And I hope your foot is better, Phurst, and that you are back to your usual dynamic, nurturing self.
re: onceadaylily
Bummer, oadl, that's unfortunate for you. I know what it's like, too, to watch everyone enjoy their ice cream, pizza, etc and know I can never eat like that again, but you learn to adjust and adapt. And perhaps shellfish will not give you the same problems, seems many are allergic to shellfish, but not fin fish. Thinking good thoughts for you.....thanks for asking about my foot, slowly but surely, at least I don't need the cane, anymore : )).
As it was my sister's bday yesterday, I'm taking her out to dinner tonight, to the slightly more casual offshoot (Plum) of a 2-Michelin-starred restaurant (Coi) we tried about 4 years ago and absolutely loved. Still one of the top 2 most memorable restaurants I've ever been to.
And as there will be a thunderstorm here tonight, tomorrow i'm thinking something hearty - and warm. that's all i've got so far. Maybe a spaghetti aglio olio from another thread I keep going back to.
Maybe I'll be inspired by something Daniel Patterson whips up for us tonight. Though I doubt it, everyone's doing their spring menus these days.
re: mariacarmen
Very nice sis, mc!! I hear Plum is very good!! Enjoy!!
re: Phurstluv
ugh. things fell apart. we didn't go. total bummer. hopefully we'll reschedule soon. ) :
re: mariacarmen
Bummer! Hope you can get there too!
So, a cause for celebration tonight at Harters Hall. The football team that I have supported since I was a lad has won its first trophy in over 30 years, winning the FA Cup against Stoke City this afternoon.
We arrived back home from Rome with 10 minutes to spare before kick-off. So there isnt much in the house to eat. Hence, there''ll be celebratory steak sandwiches.
"Blue moon, You saw me standing alone, without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own........" Or, as they'd say in Rome "Forza Azzurri"
re: Harters
Welcome back, and enjoy the win!
re: Harters
Congrats on the win! Good eating in Rome, I expect?
re: roxlet
Very good eats, roxlet.
I'll be posting restaurant reviews to the Italy board of both Chowhound and Egullet - check it out in about 36 hours
re: Harters
Congrats to your team winning its long-awaited trophy, Harters! And welcome back from Rome. :-)
Last night I made a BIG cozy creamy quinoa casserole (with spinach, mushrooms, cottage cheese, sour cream, Parmesan, Aleppo chile, a squeeze of lemon juice) and served with steamed green beans in a shallot-Dijon vinaigrette. Perfect creamy + tangy combination. Happy on a chilly evening.
re: twilight goddess
You've totally got me hooked on this quinoa casserole, I make it a few times a month now!
re: twilight goddess
I love quinoa, and though my standby recipe is mixed-grain quinoa and rice pilaf, this casserole of yours sounds really intriguing.
What's your recipe?
We were going to go out to dinner tonight, but since my son's Egyptian coach has made plans to go to Queens and eat Egyptian food and smoke shisha with another Egyptian, we are staying home and making ribs! I'm very excited. I'll make some slaw with that, and we will be in hog heaven tonight!
re: roxlet
Ribs are a totally yummy idea!

Irish Internet Radio and TV from Dublin, Ireland.
First time The Grand Canal in Dublin has frozen since 1982.
The Grand Canal waterway was built in 1779 to ferry guinness, coal and other goods between Dublin and the River Shannon in the west to service Limerick and other cities.
Ireland has been enduring sub zero temperatures for much of December and January due to an Arctic air expansion coming down from Scandinavia and northern Europe. The last major disruptions of this scale where 1982, 1963 and 1947. Baltinglass in Co Wicklow reported a temperature of -14C last night, (Jan 8th) unprecedented for Ireland which relies on a steady mild airflow from the Atlantic to keep its winters mild.
Forecasters are predicting more heavy snow and sub zero temperatures for the next 10 days with no end in sight for the foreseeable future.

What's the difference between "Ich habe dich lieb" and "Ich liebe dich"?
Both are defined as "I love you" in many dictionaries, as I've checked.
What's the difference between "Ich habe dich lieb" and "Ich liebe dich"?
Both are defined as "I love you" in many dictionaries, as I've checked.
"Ich liebe dich" is stronger and more profound than "Ich habe dich lieb". The difference is hard, if not impossible, to translate to English, or only with some extra language acrobatics; but in German, there is indeed a difference.
"Ich habe dich lieb" is commonly used among somewhat close and beloved family members, such as towards aunts/uncles/nieces/nephews, grandparents/grandchildren, parents/children etc., or as a more light-hearted, not quite as "binding" declaration of love for the significant other. Saying it to mere friends or acquaintances would be inappropriate usually.
(Edit: It can be used outside the family circle, among friends in a very affectionate way, but only towards someone who knows exactly how you mean it, unless you want to risk misunderstandings.)
"Ich liebe dich" is reserved for the significant other such as boy/girlfriend, wife/husband, or your closest family such as parents/children. It is the unambiguous declaration of love.
As far as I know, in English you have these gradations (I'm a German native speaker, so I'm not absolutely sure if there are more):
this is the weaker end of the list
this is the stronger end of the list
In German you can say it this ways:
this is the weaker end of the list
this is the stronger end of the list
I would translate the first three as "I like you". Only "Ich liebe dich" is "I love you".
If you are creative, you will find even more shades (in both languages).
"Ich habe Dich lieb" is commonly used as a sign of strong feeling of friendship, of being prepared to go the extra mile to make the other person happy, to care for him/her and not to wish anything ill. Even close relatives would nearly never say "Ich liebe Dich", but "Ich habe Dich lieb" (EDIT: with the noteable exception of children and their parents). The phrase gets more common when the age difference becomes bigger. Caring is a strong motive of that phrase.
"Ich liebe Dich" on the other hand suggests a closeness and desire including (but not restricted to) sexual meanings. That's one reason why relatives often shy away from that phrase. If you say "Ich liebe Dich" you usually imply you want to move together with that person and share rooms (and more) with him/her. It is a much stronger phrase with the emphasis on being and staying together.
Ich hab dich lieb = agape (the love for a child, non-sexual love for someone)
Ich liebe dich = eros (desire, lust, sexual love)
I have never used "Ich liebe dich" with anybody but my significant other. Maybe it's more common in other parts of Germany, but "Ich hab' dich lieb" can be used for both family and spouse.
Additionally, you'll find "Ich liebe dich" in real literature, but "Ich hab' dich lieb" seems more casual and novel style to me.
Ich habe dich lieb is something a little girl would say to her mommy.
Ich liebe dich is the ultimate expression of emotion a person can make towards another and is used sparingly, as it easily comes across as pointlessly melodramatic. A little girl would only use that towards her mother if she had watched too many cheezy, badly translated Hollywood rom coms.
Also, in German, noone would ever say something like I love you, but I'm not in love with you as they do so often in Hollywood movies (errrmm, or so I heard...); in German, I love you is the ultimate, nothing will ever top that.
The concise explanation equating the Greek 'eros' and 'agape' is the best answer I've read, assuming knowledge of the Greek terms. I began learning German as a child and continued through college, have made several trips to Teutophonic (German-speaking) countries, and my teenage daughter is in a year-long exchange in Germany.
From my experience, 'Ich liebe dich' does translate as 'I love you' and is typically used between intimates, eg. 'I love you, Darling.' It is used more sparingly than the American/English counterpart. It is also used less seriously in friendships, cravings, and advertising, eg. 'I love you, luscious chocolate.'
'Ich hab dich lieb' translates as 'I have love for you' (awkward phrasing), but would be roughly the equivalent of 'I cherish/care for/am glad I am related to you.' It has two principle uses: between family members, eg. 'I love you, Grampa' and as a precursor to 'Ich liebe dich,' eg. 'I really like you, Sweetheart.' My daughter uses this phrase as a closing in many of her emails back home.
As already mentioned
But I've also seen it used very easily/watered down between teenagers (especially while communicating via text messages, (especially the shortened
The best translation/explanation in English I can think of is
The reason that the google ngram shows a higher usage of "ich liebe dich" vs. "i hab(e) dich lieb" is because there are so many translation books that teach non-natives to say "ich liebe dich". It's overly commonly taught. I have never once seen a translation book teach "ich hab(e) dich lieb" (but they should). This heavily skews the results. This is why "results" do nothing to combat native speakers experience.
"Ich habe dich lieb." sounds like it can be translated to "I hold you (very) dear.", or "You are (very) dear to me." It expresses deep affection / endearment, something that you don't feel for everybody.
"Ich liebe dich." can easily contain romantic meaning, and is probably most likely used in such contexts.
Disclaimer: I'm learning German still, but my maternal language, Romanian, seems to have many unexpected semantic similarities with German (they're also the source of an uncanny feeling while learning it). But that's the subjective opinion of a beginner.
Although this question has been answered well enough, I'd like to add a little story, which is exactly about the topic:
Some 14 years ago, a girl which I was very interested in, wrote me
So you see, not only non-Germans have trouble in understanding the difference...at least, it turned out well, since she is my wife now for many years! ;-)
Interesting debate. If anyone ever saw the movie "Die Ehe von Maria Braun", there was this same confusion during her trial. When asked about her feelings for her husband, she said "Ich liebe ihn". But when asked her feelings about an American sergeant she had been having an affair with, she said, "Ich habe ihn lieb". Since it was a trial being conducted by Americans in postwar Germany, the judge was complete confused about the relationships because the interpreter translated both phrases as "I love him".
Unless you are German and understand it's subtle usages, a simple translation isn't going to work here! There is formal/informal, there are extra pronouns, there are many differences from German to English. It is not straightforward. A dictionary or translation page isn't going to teach you the subtleties of the language. To those on this page that are making it ALL BLACK & WHITE....sorry German doesn't work that way. There are even differences in usage from High German to Low German....(North & South) the different dialects place emphasis on words and combinations differently. It is NOT simply a literal translation......
Ich liebe dich (I Love You) is NOT something someone there says flippantly, it's not spoken on a day to day basis in public, like it's thrown around in the states.... PERIOD.
It's similar to the English not hugging in public - or at all in some cases..... it's a behavior thing, rather than a language thing. And it's taken seriously.
I was born there...learned German first and then learned English.
"Ich habe dich Lieb" means "I have (some) love for you."
"Ich liebe dich" means "I love you (a lot)."
The second is stronger than the first.
I would say the phrase:
"Ich liebe dich" = I love you
English doesn't share this concept linguistically, but philosophically it's easy: Big L versus little l. "Ich liebe dich" is ONLY for lovers. "Ich habe dich lieb" is the love you share with family.

They're distinct words; the uses and meanings don't really overlap as such other than that they both sometimes translate to half in English.

He's Back! Curious George Returns to Orlando Science Center
Get Curious with Everyone's Favorite Monkey with Exhibit and Feature-Length Movie
Exhibit Opens Saturday, May 17
ORLANDO, Fla. (May 12, 2014) — The insatiable curiosity of Curious George — the little monkey who has captured the imagination and hearts of millions of children and adults for 65 years — comes to life Saturday, May 17 at Orlando Science Center. The exhibit, "Curious George: Let's Get Curious!", will introduce young children to Curious George's world and lead visitors on a fun and meaningful math, science and engineering-based adventure.

So my brother is getting married in less than three weeks, and he asked me to make him some hats.
So, I'm kind of obsessed with cables. Actually, if I remember correctly, I taught myself how to knit just so that I could learn how to make cables!
The get more Eloquent you have to visit the Blarney Castle and Kiss the Stone. Hope you enjoy the Entrance to the Castle Grounds!
I'm thinking about making my partner a hat using Lamb's Pride Bulky (he desperately needs a hat.) He want to know if the yarn scratchy.
Had a great time on vacation , Ireland was a lot of fun, I will have more info later on my regular personal blog.
Here is the lining. It is the first time I have done a lining. Really tough
Well I finally finished the sweater I made for my sister for Christmas. I made up the pattern so i hope it fits. I started it September 1st and finished the knitting around the end of October.

I love me some 40 schedule 1/2 PVC so when it got super hot today I decided to make one of those customizable PVC lawn sprinklers. Then I thought "hey, it would be fun to make a pvc water gun that connects to the hose". I happened to have a sprayer attachment that had a threaded end so I tried my pvc hose connector on it and batta boom batta bing we were in business. This "ible" is not super detailed cuz it was a rush job but as all you hero dads* know time is of the essence when you are trying to entertain and inspire your kids.
Materials (this is for the triple barrel version)
Approx 20 inches of schedule 40 1/2 PVC (usually it comes pre-cut length of either 2 or 4 feet)
1 cross slip connector
1 "t" slip connector
4 1/2 slip caps
1 garden hose 1/2" PVC connector (threaded one side and slip on the other. I got mine at Lowes next to the sprinkler heads)
sprayer with a threaded end
Hack saw for cutting the pvc
Drill with 1/8 bit
*Hero Dad: is any dad trying to impress his kids with some type of act or service - in this case (in the footsteps of my dad) it's building something really cool
Step 1: Drill the end caps
I love the lego like aspect of this!!! The hose would keep me entertained for hours as a kid! This would only triple the creative joy!!!!!
have fun!
Since this was all on a 1/2 inch pipe, pressure dropped to the point where I was using 3 hoses to refill my spa.
I ran another line (3/4") from inside the house, over to the property line and 50 feet-or-so along the fence. There are 3 faucets on this one, the last of which is at ground level for easy draining in the fall. I use this one mostly for running sprinklers but the spa fills much faster now.
I guess my point is, I have 12 faucet connections in my back yard. Overkill? YES! Convenient? Absolutely! Crazy? Sure! I'm an Instuctabalien! (Is that what we're called?)
Also: anything we can do as parents to model healthy behaviors, e.g. "wonder if I could create something fun to do in the yard, rather than buy it at Walmart,?" and not being concerned with impressing one's peers with a brand name water gun is probably more valuable than many other things we give our kids. The guts to be a crafty geek is the greatest gift of all!
Long live Hero Dads (and Moms)!
Also one other item I chose to change in this great project was the water sprayer costs $5 to 6 dollars if you don't have that style laying around. I went to Menards and bought a 1/2 inch slip fitting 1/4 turnning valve for less than $2 and glued it in line aftwer the hose fitting so I can disconnect and take the water gun to anybodys house without needing to have a special water sprayer. This a nice simple project that I've already had students build at a group party this "heat wave" summer. Thanks!
Then you could get more flow from it and reach further.
Near Future Hero Dad ;-)

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
In our store, a frequent topic of conversation is the great value that disc golf provides. Low equipment cost, free to play at just about every course, etc. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I'd like to hear you opinions. Is there a less expensive sport than Disc Golf?
Obviously, you can paint a lot of scenarios about ways to spend money on a given endeavor, and lots of devout disc golfers spend a lot on the sport over time. However, I'm thinking of this in terms of the funds necessary to purchase a decent set of discs (say 5-7 discs) and a bag, and play 3-times a week. Essentially the equipment and costs (greens fees, etc.) required to start the sport, play it semi-frequently, and gain proficiency at it.
Let's take Bowling, for example. While most folks don't buy their own ball or shoes right off the bat, simply playing three times a week (without any beverages or snacks) would run you at least $25 a week, or $100 for just the first month. That's more expensive in my book...

If the career of composer and double bass master Edgar Meyer seems impossibly diverse, the reason may be simple — everybody wants to work with him.
"I was a huge fan of Edgar's even before I moved to Tennessee," says Nashville Symphony conductor Giancarlo Guerrero. "When I finally met him the first thing I said was 'What should we do together?'"
The versatile bassist had long hoped to write a concerto pairing himself with renowned violinist Joshua Bell. "Josh and I have been friends for most of our lives, and the violin is my favorite instrument!" Meyer
Guerrero was enthusiastic, and the Nashville Symphony co-commissioned Meyer's Double Concerto for Violin and Double Bass, which appears alongside Mahler's Symphony No. 1 in the orchestra's season finale this week.
"I played in the Nashville Symphony when I moved here in the mid-'80s," Meyer recalls, "and I still have a lot of friends in the orchestra. So it is especially gratifying to be playing the concerto with them, and I'm also very excited to be working with Giancarlo for the first time.
"I have a strong connection to string concertos, not just as a player but as a listener."
His father, who was also his first bass teacher, made violin concertos regular household listening fare.
Meyer continued his bass studies at Indiana University — where Bell was a fellow student — and then moved to Nashville. Parallel careers unfolded for him simultaneously: session gigs for the likes of Garth Brooks and Lyle Lovett; progressive bluegrass jams with luminaries such as banjoist Béla Fleck and fiddler Mark O'Connor; and increasingly dazzling recitals at the Blair School of Music, where he is still an adjunct faculty member.
His chamber recitals found him adapting virtuoso violin showpieces for the bass, pushing the instrument's range and agility to unprecedented lengths. The recitals also provided one forum for his emerging compositional voice. A string of beautiful small group recordings followed, including 1999's "Short Trip Home," which features Bell alongside bluegrass players, as well as in a four-movement duet with Meyer.
"Josh has gotten very good at existing in my sound world, both in working with the double bass and in absorbing stylistic aspects from outside the classical repertoire," Meyer says.
Bell also joined him in a 2002 recording of Bottesini's "Gran Duo Concertante."
Bell's unerring musicality earned him a recent appointment as music director for the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. Meyer and Bell have received Grammy awards, as well as the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize.
The new Double Concerto already has a track record. Meyer and Bell gave well-received performances at Tanglewood, Aspen and the Hollywood Bowl last July, and the Toronto Symphony will feature it next month.
Meyer also has a track record with concerto composition, and as the world's best-recognized double bass virtuoso, he is an able champion for his own work. His catalog includes three bass concertos as well as a violin concerto and another double concerto recorded with cellist Yo-Yo Ma. He and Fleck also collaborated on two earlier NSO concerto commissions, one of which marked the Schermerhorn Center's gala opening in 2006.
Ask Meyer to describe his music, and he may respond by handing you a recording. The new concerto speaks eloquently for itself, from restless opening to dazzling finish.
The musical language is tightly integrated, with "roots" energy evoking Bartók more than Vassar Clements. "This isn't necessarily a goal," Meyer says, "but over time the different stylistic influences in my music have become more blended and probably less obvious."
The work's expressive scope is ambitious, with full brass bolstering climaxes in the outer movements. But the middle movement's intimate ending, which pairs Bell with a single clarinet, is just as characteristic. "The chamber music aesthetic sticks with me even when I'm writing for a large orchestra," Meyer says.
Through 20 years of writing concertos, how has Meyer's approach to the form changed?
"I'm still just trying to write in an inspired way and to explore aspects of music I would like to know better," he says. "If I learned something new while writing a piece, when I hear it later there is still an intangible element of revelation — I can almost feel myself ingesting the new material."
From the Station Inn to the Schermerhorn, Nashvillians have had a unique window into Meyer's learning process for nearly three decades, and this week's Nashville Symphony concerts promise new revelations.

I no longer want to be a developer
This might seem like an odd question, but I think I've just about had it with programming. I used to enjoy back when I was 11 years old (I'm 31 now), and I actually got to be really great at it at an early age. In high school, I had already knew c++, design patterns and all sorts of things and was building fairly sophisticated stuff.
Then web development became all the rage, and like a lot of people, I sort of got sucked into that - to the point where that's all anyone really wanted. To be honest, I've never liked it.
After learning so many technologies and languages year after year, I'm a little sick of relearning the same sorts of things that I knew how to do before but differently. I am sick of learning the new bugs, design errors and idiosyncrasies of the new technologies over and over again. Sometimes it seems like we are regressing rather than progressing.
The amount of languages you need to know just to get a web application up and running now is just disgusting. It's way more bloated then it should be.
Things have just gotten a lot more complex now too. While I appreciate a lot of the frameworks out today that try to make your life easier, it seems that debugging and knowing what's going on has become a lot harder. I've never come across more bugs in other people's code than I have in the last 1.5 years in my entire 15 years of programming. It is annoying, it sucks out a ton of my energy.
I am just not passionate about this anymore. Learning and working with the technologies for their own sake is just a means to an end - it's not fun. I actually don't care about any of it anymore.
Despite how simple things some things have gotten, it is amazing how trivial problems blow up into solutions that require 4 or 8 hours to fix... and these things have nothing to do with your actual application requirements - it's just fixing crap that other people got wrong.
We're also in a era where frameworks and libraries need to hype their tools and they need to prove to you how easy they are compared to things that have come before... but they almost always make you jump through a billion hoops to doing something complicated. By the time you figure out how to achieve the complex requirements in the new tool, you've lost a lot of time that was more-or-less equivalent to the time it would have taken in the old technology. So what was the point of learning the new technology in the first place? While the old technology required more code, it was more generic and flexible.
You could argue that learning the new quirks for these complex requirements build intellectual capital that can be used later, but by the time you need to utilize this knowledge a second time, there comes yet another new technology that makes this knowledge obsolete.
With websites basically needing to be super rich client applications now, these beasts have become extremely hard to test. No longer can you just write the bulk of your code in a single language, and getting amazingly good at Javascript seems like a monumental task all on its own. We are in the era of mass specialization now, and that doesn't interest me because any projects I want to work on, I have to do by myself.
How do I get out? I have decided that I'm just done with it all. I really want out. I have just invested so much time and energy into being a great software developer for most of my life, it seems sad that I'm basically going to throw it all away.
After reading some of the comments, I think these are also problems.
1) Burnout. Regardless of how long I take a break, I have no interest in working on programming stuff when I need to start back again.
2) Not caring about writing "good" software anymore like I used to. You don't get rewarded for doing a job better than 99% of the programmers out there. Nobody cares if you do it well either. It's actually kind of amazing that skill and craftsmanship and care is not a value to most people in this industry.
3) Boredom. Writing mindless queries, business logic and pumping data to a view for so many years is just not interesting. After working on 1500-2000 database tables and the application logic that worked on them, I don't find any of this kind of stuff interesting or challenging.
4) Producing value. Nothing I work on really matters. Sure, it matters for the clients, but it doesn't really matter to me.

Test ID: MPLB
MPL Exon 10 Mutation Detection, Blood
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Aiding in the distinction between a reactive cytosis and a myeloproliferative neoplasm
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
DNA sequence mutations in exon 10 of the myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene (MPL) have been detected in approximately 5% of patients with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and essential thrombocythemia (ET), which are hematopoietic neoplasms classified within the broad category of myeloproliferative neoplasms. MPL codes for a transmembrane tyrosine kinase and the most common MPL mutations are single base pair substitutions at codon 515. These mutations have been shown to promote constitutive, cytokine-independent activation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and contribute to the oncogenic phenotype. At least 8 different MPL exon 10 mutations have been identified in PMF and ET to date, and mutations outside of exon 10 have not yet been reported. The vast majority of MPL mutations have been found in specimens testing negative for the most common mutation identified in myeloproliferative neoplasms, JAK2 V716F, although a small number of cases with both types of mutations have been reported. MPL mutations have not been identified in patients with polycythemia vera, chronic myelogenous leukemia, or other myeloid neoplasms.
Identification of MPL mutations can aid in the diagnosis of a myeloproliferative neoplasm and is highly suggestive of either PMF or ET.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The results will be reported as 1 of 2 states:
-Negative for MPL exon 10 mutation
-Positive for MPL exon 10 mutation
If the result is positive, a description of the mutation at the nucleotide level and the altered protein sequence is reported.
Positive mutation status is highly suggestive of a myeloproliferative neoplasm, but must be correlated with clinical and other laboratory features for a definitive diagnosis. Negative mutation status does not exclude the presence of a myeloproliferative or other neoplasm.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A positive result is not specific for a particular diagnosis and clinicopathologic correlation is necessary in all cases.
A negative result does not exclude the presence of a myeloproliferative or other neoplasm.
Supportive Data
Analytical sensitivity is approximately 20% meaning there must be about 20% of the mutated DNA in the specimen for reliable detection.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Humanity faces tremendous moral dilemmas today, and science has relevance to most of them. As followers of Christ, we understand that our lives are entrusted to us for a short time, and that we will give an account for the things we do.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
I want to lay out some of the key myths and indicate how Coyne's discussion can help Christians get a more accurate understanding of evolution.
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
Interestingly, I find this sort of cynicism about climate change especially prevalent among Christians. Why is this?
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
Seven years ago, fellow filmmaker Terry Kay Rockefeller and I set out on a voyage of discovery that would result in RENEWAL, the first feature-length documentary about America's religious-environmental movement.
