Red Bull and Sebastian Vettel have agreed a contract extension, with the three-time champion set to stay with the team until the end of 2015...
Infiniti Red Bull Racing and Sebastian Vettel have agreed a contract extension, with the three-time champion set to stay with the team until the end of 2015.
Their partnership could hardly be more successful. The German joined the Milton Keynes-based squad in 2009, and has 29 wins, 39 pole positions and three successive world titles to show for his efforts.
Vettel has already securing three more wins in 2013 - in Malaysia, Bahrain and last weekend in Canada - and he currently leads the Formula 1 Drivers' Championship by 36 points from nearest rival Fernando Alonso.
Vettel's previous contract lasted until the end of 2014, meaning the new deal amounts to a one-year extension.
The 25-year-old was quoted in the German newspaper Welt Am Sonntag as saying that he might quit the sport in five years' time, though he had no specific timetable in mind.
"Perhaps I will no longer be driving in five years' time because I no longer have the urge to," he said.
Vettel was linked with a possible move to Ferrari earlier in the year, but the Italian outfit's president Luca Di Montezemolo soon quashed the rumour, saying that he would not move to Ferrari as long as Fernando Alonso was with the team.

A Ceremony for Children Who Have Died

In this afternoon event, people of all walks of life and loss gather to acknowledge and mourn the death of children—those born and unborn. We first create handmade offerings in the Japanese Buddhist tradition of Jizo Boddhisattva, and then say goodbye in a ceremony of remembrance and letting go. Our time together ends with a procession to the garden, where we tie paper prayers on the memorial cherry tree with the intention of nurturing the beings who have died and the beings who continue to live.
This memorial event originates in the Japanese Buddhist tradition of honoring of Jizo Bodhisattva. One of the most beloved figures of Japanese Buddhism, Jizo statues with childlike clothing and other remembrances are common on roadways, in parks and in cemeteries. Various items are placed on or near a statue as an offering and petition by grieving parents in hopes that Jizo will protect their lost child.
It is very common for those in attendance to be mourning a child who had not been born yet. Men and women are welcome. Couples, friends and families have found it quite healing to attend together. You are welcome to bring children, and please know there are several periods of quiet time. It works best if at least two adults attend the event so one can attend to the children if they are not able or willing to participate in the quiet time. There is outdoor space to explore/enjoy if this is the case.
Part 1 of our time together is for creating personal, unique fabric offerings to be used in the ceremony. We will provide fabric, scissors, needle and thread. You are welcome to bring your own fabric as well. Red is the traditional color used for Jizo offerings, but not essential. Much of this time is spent in shared silence so we may each be with our own story and experience.
Part 2 is a ceremony of dedication for the beloved children who have died. Everyone is invited to approach the altar, which is adorned with flowers and statues of various figures of compassion, including Jizo Bodhisattva, Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Francis, angels and the like. You can make an incense offering, place your fabric creation on or with a compassion figure, and speak aloud or silently communicate your wishes for the well being of your child.
Part 3 is a silent group procession to the memorial garden, where we hand tie paper prayers in a special cherry tree. There is time for lingering and enjoying the beauty of the garden, and the beach is a 20-minute walk away for those with the time and energy.
Cost is $15 per person plus an offering of dana (the practice of giving or generosity) to support the teachers and the teaching.

North Mississippi Allstars is a Southern rock/blues jam band from Hernando, Mississippi, founded in 1996. The band is composed of brothers Luther Dickinson (guitar, vocals) and Cody Dickinson (drums, keyboards, electric washboard), and Chris Chew (electric bass guitar). In addition to the guitar, Dickinson also plays a cigar box guitar called the "lowebow."[specify] Duwayne Burnside, who formerly played second guitar in the band, is a son of R. L. Burnside (who also played on some of the band's tracks). Allstars' first release, Shake Hands With Shorty, was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Contemporary Blues Album". Since then, 51 Phantom and Electric Blue Watermelon have received nominations in that same category. The group also won a Blues Music Award for "Best New Artist Debut" in 2001. The band made their network television debut in 2000 on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. They also served as the house band for a short period in 2004 on Last Call with Carson Daly. The band now backs up and tours with John Hiatt. They have released an album with him entitled Master of Disaster. All the members of the Allstars have also teamed up with Robert Randolph and John Medeski to form The Word.

As populations in developing nations increase alongside global pollution and the spread of water-borne illnesses, the need for clean and efficient water filtration has never been more urgent. Recently, the International Water Association (IWA) awarded UNICEF and the Water and Sanitation Program with the 2008 Project Innovation Award Grand Prize for providing Cambodia with ceramic water filters. These water purification devices are made and distributed by Cambodian nationals, and have resulted in a 50 percent drop in diarrheal illnesses in the region since their implementation in 2002.
Developed in a joint effort between UNICEF and the WSP, these ceramic water filters rely upon porous ceramic (fired clay) to filter microbes or other contaminants from drinking water. The units feature a pore size that is small enough to remove virtually all bacteria and protozoa, and they work by gravity filtration, with flow rates of 1-3 liters per hour.
There are 3 active factories in Cambodia today producing 5500 ceramic water filters per month, which have been tested to reduce E.coli by 99.99 percent. The filters are distributed and marketed with the aid of a variety of NGOs and independent businesses in Cambodia. This trial program has proven successful and planned for expansion in the near future, with the hope of addressing the needs of two thirds of all Cambodians that don't have access to clean drinking water.

The ceramic filters are so useful as they are made of clay ….its a good invention.
March 28, 2010 at 4:31 pm
The ceramic filters are made from clay mixed with sawdust then fired to burn out the sawdust and leave the pores. Then they are treated with colloidal silver to disinfect the water and keep the filter sterile. I think you could heat a dirty filter in a fire to burn off any organic particles blocking the pores. Colloidial Silver can be produced low tech to retreat the filters. (see video)
With minimal care the filter should last a very long time.
March 24, 2009 at 6:21 am
Thanks for this article. There is, however, a slight misreprestenation of the facts. UNICEF and WSP do not provide or promote ceramic water filters in Cambodia at all. The IWA award was given for research funded by UNICEF and WSP, which demonstrated the effectiveness of these filters at reducing the incidence of diarrhea in rural households. The filters were introduced to Cambodia in 2001 by International Development Enterprises (IDE, http://www.ide-cambodia.org) and are currently produced and distributed by three organizations: IDE, Resource Development International (RDI, http://www.rdic.org) and the Cambodian Red Cross. Together, these organizations have distributed upwards of 250,000 filters in Cambodia, improving thelives of more than one million people.
In answer to the last comment. The filters do get clogged but can be cleaned using a plastic brush to increase the flow rate. Eventually, deep clogging of the pores can render the filter ineffective at which point it needs to be replaced. The average lifespan of a ceramic filter is 2 years. The size and shape of the filter make backflusing difficult. Chlorine is not recommended for cleaning of the ceramic filter element but can be used to clean the plastic receptacle tank and spigot.

Great Ring
I was visiting the Overstock.Com site and clicked on the jewelry section. One of the first items that popped on the screen was this ring. I thought it was absolutely beautiful and the price was great too. I decided to give it a try and order it, and I'm very glad I did. This is a lovely ring, well made, substantial amount of metal, and the center stone is pure and brilliant. Colors just keep flashing at me all the time. The smaller stones on each side of the ring are clear and brilliant also. One of the things that really makes this ring so pretty is the high setting and the lovely profile it has. The gallery and the basket are really eye-catching and look like something one would find on a ring costing thousands of dollars. I'm very, very impressed and I have the ring on my finger as I type right now. This is definitely a keeper!!Read More
Beautiful Ring
I just got this ring in the mail and it is beautiful. It is not too large (comparable in size to a 2 ct. real diamond depending on the table/cut). It is also not set too high for the size of the center stone. I compared it to my 1.47 ct. real diamond and it is a smidge larger. The only thing is, this ring is much cleaner and without flaws, very brilliant. My diamond is nearly colorless at an F, but, this ring's center stone is truly colorless. My diamond also has a slight inclusion underneath one of the 6 pronges, this ring is flawless...super clean...plus my platinum has lost it's polish over the years whereas this ring is brand spankin' new. So, all in all, you could tell it is fake if you examined it from like 6 inches. But, under inside light, or an intimate setting, there is no way to tell this is not the real deal. Can't speak for in the daylight because I haven't checked yet. You can't beat the price, grab it.Read More
Beautiful ring
This ring IS stunning, I won't dispute that. But, do NOT clean it with jewlery cleaner, as it actually eats the finish on the ring. Stick with soap and water. Other than that, it's great.Read More
sterling silver filigree cz ring
I ordered this ring after being dissapointed with another cz ring I bought. I have only had the ring for 3 days and I am already getting compliments. The stone is slightly bigger than I expected and up close you can tell its a fake but over all I LOVE THIS RING!!! I wear it with a cz band and find myself admiring it at every red light . I hope my review helps you... Thank You Overstock.Read More
Buy this ring!
I am going on vacation and did not want to wear my expensive diamond engagement, so when I saw this ring I had to order it. It is much prettier and convincing in real life. I though it would be cheaply made, but that's not the case. I wear this ring everyday and people compliment me on it all the time. This is the best purchase I have ever made.Read More

Any chance it would come in a size 9, I think a 9.5 would be too loose. Or if I order a 9.5 would it be able to sized down if needed?
Hello palady79, all available sizes are listed under the options drop down box. Unfortunately this ring cannot be sized. Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks for shopping with us.
Is there any way this ring could come in a size 14?
Hello sweetpea08, unfortunately the largest size offered is size 13. Thanks for shopping with us.
This product contains chemicals known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. I did not see this information in the product description. Why not?
What exactly are the "chemicals" and where are the to be contained in? In the silver or the cubic Zirconia? If you are that suspicious you should not buy any jewelry at all.
I was not suspicious before I purchased the ring. It arrived with a warning on the box - the statement I listed above. I think they should warn us before they take our money. I assume it is either lead or cadmium but since they didn't list the chemical I can't be sure. Your answer is more sarcastic than helpful. Why bother?
How scary...I do have to agree that it should be shown somewhere in the description. I order from a Craft Company who right on their website states that they follow California's Law on Prop 65 which is about certain chemicals causing birth defects and you can contact them for which item's you may purchase if you have a concern. I think its great that it's being brought to our attention. I would have never have known living in NY where we are basically hand fed poison everyday in the form of pollution that jewelry could also contain these chemicals. So I am happy to be made aware.
Usually this means it is harmful if your ingest it or light in on fire and inhale. They can't sell something that could cause harm under normal use. I used to work for a large office supply chain and our chairs came to customers with the disclaimer "This product has chemicals that is known to the state of California to cause cancer etc" I looked into it and they told me, as long as you don't eat it or light it on fire you're safe.
Actually, that is incorrect. Heavy metals can be absorbed through the skin. You don't have to consume lead to be poisoned by it.
It can't be worse than a plastic shower liner
how do i order the black plated one? Seems like only sterling silver is an option

Do you have a wedding band that goes with this ring/setting?
Hello ladylord, Unfortunately I was unable to find a particular wedding band that goes with this Tressa Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia Filigree Engagement Ring on our site, but we do have a large variety of wedding bands. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
could I get this in a 7.5mm cz so 1.75 carat size for the center stone?
can the center stone be swopped for a amethyst and what would it cost me then?
I am sure it can . A nice 8mm amethyst should cost around 10.00 to 15.00 dollars plus whatever the cost to mount it which is not a big job .
is this ring plated with rodium
No, this ring is not coated with rodium.
this one is sterling silver
Why can it not be resized?
Rings with settings on the side cannot be resized. Further, we don''t offer resizing services.
I wouldn't try resizing it because of the settings in the band. Resizing can cause the settings to stretch and the stones will fall out.
What carat would this ring be in a diamond?
We are currently working on getting this information. We will post an answer as soon as possible.
I say 2.
Either 2 or 3. It's a good sized stone in there. It is still really nice for CZ.

Thursday, January 27, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2011) - The ETSU men's and women's Track and Field teams are set to head to Lynchburg, Va. for the Liberty Open this weekend.
The two-day meet is slated to begin Friday 12:30 p.m. with the multis and conclude around 7 p.m., while Saturday's events are set to start at 9 a.m. with the field events. The running events Saturday are scheduled to start at 10 a.m.
"This weekend we are looking for a breakout performance across the board," said assistant coach Eli Sunquist. "Everyone has been looking much better in training, and this is the weekend that we are hoping to really improve upon our conference standings. We will be bringing a full squad for the first time since the December meet, so we are really looking forward to this weekend. It will also be very nice to go head-to-head with Campbell."
The meet features 19 events for the both the men and women including the multi events (heptathlon and pentathlon).
"This will be the first opportunity for our combined event athletes to compete in their full event, and I am really excited about that," Sunquist added. "Jesse Aliaga-Jacob has some experience, but this will be the first time that Stephond Allmond, Chris Winkle, and Taylor Story have even seen an indoor combined event competition, so this will be a great experience for them. I am looking for some big things out of all of them."

I've got a lager that's been in my garage for the last month (generally hovering between 30 and 36F), and I saw a question relating to temperatures for bottle conditioning a lager, but I'm wondering as far as the actual bottling if the beer's temperatures should be raised beforehand, either to awaken the remaining yeast to ensure carbonation and/or to prevent thermal expansion when the bottles do warm up (I'm not sure how big a factor, if at all, that last one would be).

Beer absorbs more CO2 when it's cold than when it's warm. Since your beer has been cold, it's reabsorbed some of the CO2 created during fermentation. You need to take that into account, whether bottling or kegging, or your beer will be overcarbonated. Most priming calculators let you enter the temp of the beer to ascertain the amount of priming sugar or volumes of CO2 to use. Or you can simply let the beer warm up to room temp before bottling or kegging. As the temp rises, the dissolved CO2 will come out of solution so you don't need to take it into account.

151st Street Open Today, Greyhound Pass Scheduled to Close Saturday
WESTFIELD, Ind. – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors have opened 151st Street west of U.S. 31 today.
Rieth-Riley Construction, the state's contractor for the $58 million project to upgrade U.S. 31 to freeway standards between 146th and 169th streets, closed 151st Street west of U.S. 31 on May 20th. Access from U.S. 31 to the east entrance of Target was maintained during the closure, but traffic will now use the west entrance to access Target as work continues on the ramps connecting southbound U.S. 31 and 151st Street.
With the opening of 151st Street, Rieth-Riley plans to close Greyhound Pass for approximately 30 days beginning Saturday, July 20. The official signed detour will route eastbound traffic south on Western Way to 146th Street and will route westbound traffic north on U.S. 31 to 151st Street.
The closure of Greyhound Pass will allow for construction of the "split diamond" ramp system with U.S. 31 that will connect Greyhound Pass to 151st and 146th streets.

Comback Chair, Sled Base
by Kartell
designed by Patricia Urquiola
At A Glance:
The comb-back chair, or Comback Chair, is Kartell's foray into 18th-century England. Going back to a time when steam was used to bend wood into the shapes needed to form the chair's shape, Kartell chooses a different material altogether.
The seat, back, and arms of the Kartell Comback Chair are formed from a single plastic mold, while this modern Windsor chair's sled base is made from bent painted steel rods.

Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled and rain fell onto the Winston Churchill High School track, and every now and then the sun would make a cameo appearance during the Montgomery County track and field championships, held on Wednesday and Thursday due to the transgressions of Mother Nature.
After two hours on Wednesday and nearly seven more on Thursday, the meet finally came to a close for the girls. The boys discus event will resume on Friday at Clarksburg and it will determine the outcome between Northwest and the Coyotes. As for the rest of the meet, it came with plenty of thrilling finishes, flashy times, and even a one-shoed race.
The most dominant track program in the county was back at it again during the two-day meet as Northwest's girls beat Thomas S. Wootton 74-73 to claim its fourth Montgomery outdoor crown in the past five years. Somehow, the Jaguars didn't have a single girl or relay team win an event and still topped the Patriots.
Clarksburg's boys, meanwhile, are currently leading Northwest 97-88 and have two throwers — Patrick Broussoul and Abraham Kinguelewa — in the discus while the Jaguars have just Brandon Young to make up the deficit.
Josh Trzeciak ran a mile faster than everybody else in the county with only one shoe on. That's right, the Wootton stud went the final 500 meters in the 1,600 half-and-half, one shoe on, one shoe somewhere on the Churchill track.
"About 10 meters left into the race it started to burn so I was just like 'Alright, 10 more meters, let's just make it through,'" he said after holding on for a 4 minute, 21.04 second time to beat Clarksburg's Will Bertrand (4:22.53). "So I make it through, and I try to put weight on it for a second and I fell over."
There will be more on Trzeciak's gritty race in this week's notebook.
There is no such thing as a safe lead when Gwen Shaw is somewhere in the field, unless of course that lead is handed off to Shaw, in which it will only swell. Col. Zadok Magruder and Watkins Mill will be the first to attest to that. Shaw took the baton in the 800-relay trailing each anchor by several meters. No matter.
By the final stretch, she still had ground to make up. With 15 meters left, still room. But with just a few strides remaining, Shaw completely overtook the field, closing the relay out in 1:45.70 to top Magruder by .22 seconds and Watkins Mill by nearly a full second. Oddly enough, however, Montgomery Blair, running in the first heat, ran a better time than Wootton, and Shaw would have to settle for silver, her only non-gold of the day — she won the 100-hurdles (14.62), 300-hurdles (45.75), and anchored the 1,600-relay (4:00.56).
Panting, exhausted, legs still searing from a sizzling 100-meter run, Jalen Walker had but one more task ahead of him following his victory: a phone call.
No more than 30 seconds after Walker topped a field complete with defending champ Patrick Schlosser, Solomon Vault and Fitzroy Clair in the 100, somebody handed the Northwest sophomore a cell phone. It was his big sister, already congratulating her little brother on avenging a previous defeat to Schlosser by one hundredth of a second in last year's county meet.
"She's one of those tough sisters," Walker said. "If you're not first, you're last."
Walker was far from last in his event, and the Northwest boys, which have made a remarkable turnaround from last year, were a far cry from where they finished just a season ago.
The Jaguars took an easy, 10-second victory in the 3,200-relay (7:57.06) and Walker later led them to another in the evening's nightcap, the 1,600-relay (3:27.97).
For many reasons, the lead seemed insurmountable. First, this was the 1,600 meters, one of Caroline Beaks' hallmark events. Second, the Bethesda-Chevy Chase sophomore was leading by a cozy 25-30 meters with barely a lap remaining. Third, Beakes had proven not two weeks ago that she could compete with a Penn Relays field.
And then Walt Whitman's Clare Severe rendered all of that irrelevant. With a little more than a lap left, Severe made her move, turning in one of the most impressive finishes of the day to overtake Beakes and claim gold in 4:57.23, topping Beakes by nearly three seconds.
Severe also played a part in Whitman's runner-up 3,200-relay team (9:32.57).
Beakes, meanwhile, would recover well, claiming individual gold in the 3,200 (11:19.74) and 800 (2:19.93) meters and adding a leg in the winning 3,200-relay (9:25.92), which was anchored by Brittney Wade.
"Thinking that I hear somebody behind me, I have to go," Wade said of her mindset in a race such as the 3,200-relay where the next competitor was about 50 meters behind. "That really helps me a lot."
The Watkins Mill 800-relay team was disqualified by its own coach seconds after winning the race. Anchor Quinton Littlejohn was laboring down the stretch in visible pain, but he held onto his lead long enough to take the victory until he threw the baton onto the track, which earned the Wolverines a DQ from their own coach. Gaithersburg (1:30.50) was therefore promoted to the top of the medal stand.
Chase Weaverling, who finished 17th in the 3,000 at the Penn Relays (8:36.97), blew away the field in the 3,200, finishing in 9:30.32 to top Bertrand (9:41.51) and Wootton's David Levine (9:42.09).
James H. Blake's Martha Sam had a medal-laden afternoon. The sophomore claimed gold in the 100 (12.34), 200 (25.60) and added a silver in the 400 (56.81).

Is the number "3" real?
There are three cars in my driveway right now. I can see and touch the cars, but I can't see or touch the number "3". Are numbers inherent to reality, or merely mental constructs?
edward long
Sep 22 2013: Your question is to be answered by looking at language. To transfer information from one to another humans have developed spoken/written/signed language. Every known thing, whether material or conceptual, has been given a name. Even quantities have been given names. The conventional English name for the quantity comprised of a single item is "one". When another single item is introduced to form a plurality of single individual items that quantity is named "two". Adding another single item to the group changes the group name to "three". Each time another item is added a new name is necessary. Without this system information could not be shared easily and accurately. Words do not have weight or take-up space. Words are not material and cannot be touched. Now go answer Fritzie's question and you will have your answer.
- +2
Sep 23 2013: Also about language, I'd like to complement your answer by saying that which item is considered to be "the same" as another (and only things which are "the same" can be encompassed in a single number) is also a matter of language. We choose what to group together and what to differentiate, according to standards which are based purely on our perception of the world or our purposes at that moment, i.e. the quality of an object we want to emphasize. A very obvious and trivial example: an orange could add up to a number of both fruits and orange objects, but an orange t-shirt couldn't add up to the first. Now, each orange and each orange t-shirt is obviously unique. They don't have exaclty the same shape and tone of orange, yet we choose to consider them as "the same". And what you choose to group together is crucial. You pick for example a talk I was just watching, the one about stress. They cite a research about "cases of stress", and they treat all "cases of stress" as being the same, and quantify them. But what if, due to some unknown particularities , some of them shouldn't be compared to the others? This could compromise the whole research.
Sep 23 2013: A single banana, a single pencil, and a single pocketknife form a plurality of individual, dissimilar items called a group. The quantity of items in that group is spoken/written/signed as "three". Do we agree the identicalness/sameness, or lack thereof, of each individual item in no way determines the name given to the sum total of those items? Thank you, Ryan!
Sep 23 2013: Hello, Edward. If by "sameness" we're talking about objective sameness, then we certainly agree. But what I was trying to say is that, in order to have any number, we have to choose what we are going to group together in order to form that number. Your banana, pencil and pocketknife do not exist alone in the world, they are surrounded by other objects. Choosing only these three within the whole array of possible objects is the subjective part of mathematics. Let's suppose the banana, the pencil and the pocketknife are on a table in a room. You could've chosen to encompass the table in your acount. Then you'd have four items. You could choose to encompass the room itself. Then you'd have five. Now you could say that the room is not a single entity, but is composed of four entities called "wall", one called "ceiling" and another one called "floor". You'd then have ten items instead of three. If there is a door in your room, you might want to include it as well, and then you'd have eleven items. Then you see the window, but you think it is irrelevant for your purposes and decides not to include it. Then you still have eleven. What I was trying to suggest is: mathematics is not as objective as we tend to think, because calculation can be done only after we have a criteria for what can be grouped together and what cannot. Three items are three items only within a previously estabilished criteria. Under some other criteria, they could be two, four or a million. I'm not sure if I'm expressing myself clearly.Sep 23 2013: A "group" is a single entity no matter how many discreet objects it includes. I think you are saying that since there are 26 letters in the alphabet it cannot be determined which should be used to spell a word. Of course you would be correct IF THERE WERE NO CONVENTION, no consensus, no agreement, no uniformly adopted and applied standard. However, there actually is (thankfully) a convention for mathematics (and for spelling). We ALL agree the name of the number representing the quantity of items/entities is "three", and the name of the number representing the number of groups is "one". Same page Ryan?
Sep 23 2013: Not sure if we're on the same page. This discussion is full of complicated, abstract things. To make things worse, (besides my very anglophone name) I'm not an English native speaker, which means my language skills in this language are not as perfect as yours, and some of my language mistakes can compromise the meaning (while others, merely aesthetic, won't). Still, I'm very proud of my English skills, because mastering a foreign language to perfection is nearly impossible, and it takes time. I'd be able to explain the whole thing much easier if you could speak Portuguese, though. And well, I don't really know what to say now, because I tried to explain the idea two times already, and still can't make you see my point. I'll have to just recommend you sources which discuss similar things. You seem to be somewhat acquainted with linguistics. Have you ever read Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics? He doesn't talk directly about numbers (as far as I remember), but you can apply much of what he said about signs to understand numbers as well (which is what I'm doing here). Sorry for not going on with the conversation, but I really don't know what to say after all that.Sep 23 2013: It's all good Ryan. No worries. Kudos on your English skills, I had no idea you were using a second . or third?, language. You should be proud of your skill. No I have not read de Saussure. My interest in linguistics is simple necessity. I often fail to grasp the meaning of an idea, so please don't be so hard on yourself. A better mind than mine might grasp the core of your idea right away. For now let's just exchange opinions. I say "three" is real. Live long and prosper!Sep 23 2013: Hi, Edward. I agree with your comments on language. Is "three" purely conceptual? If so, and if it contains information that can be transferred, have we created something from nothing? How does "three" differ from "unicorn?"
Sep 23 2013: A branch of Linguistics, called Semantics, deals with the development, evolution, and especially the meaning of words. Just like naming a new baby. Folks agreed that the new Holmes baby boy would be named "John". All the family and friends agreed to follow the ruling and you have been "John Holmes" ever since. Everyone agrees what to call the number representing a group made-up of a single item plus another single item, plus another single item. That quantity is named "three". The quantity is not called "unicorn" because that name has been used to identify a mythical liiving creature. It is all about agreed upon meanings. Also, I think there is difference between "conceptual" and "real". The word/name "conceptual" implies something is still on the drawing board and has never been proven by use. Once a thing (a gizmo; an idea; a process; a method; a procedure; a name; etc.) is proven by usage it is no longer conceptual. "Three" is not conceptual. "Three" is not material. "Three" is real?. . . that depends on the conventional semantic purpose and meaning of the word/name "real". I say three is real.
Da Way
Sep 28 2013: To answer if 3 (or any number) is real you have to first establish if '1' and '0' are real. I.e. 'Is there existence'. If you accept that, and you assume all existence is composed of a fundamental particle or substance (the '1's, lets call it atom for now), then you may deduct that numbers are real irrespective of human preception.
- +1
Lets take your 3 cars for examle. To count 3 you have to pre-define that the pattern of 'atoms' presented in front of you is 'a car'. Now you turn your head slightly and you see a space. You look further across and you see another group of atoms similar as before so you count it as 'another car'. You see a different group of atoms right next to it and u say 'oh, thats my cat, not a car' and so on. This is how you count your 3 cars. Just groups of '1's in large numbers forming a pattern.
Back to the fundemental particle level, you see 1 0 0 1 0 0 1, where 0 is non-existence and 1 is existence. You count 3 as the quantity in your mind, thats the human interpretation part, ie an language we invented to describe the existence.
But are the substances inherently there and possess a quantity whether you describe them or not? Yes they do.Oct 4 2013: in philosophy this would be a reificationSep 28 2013: real mental construct.Sep 23 2013: the number 3 is in my opinion, inherent to reality and is a mental construct. We as "intelligent" beings love to put names to objects and perception. Objects do appear in 3's. But to be able to appreciate that, we have to form a mental construct of a 3. This will only apply to beings with concept in numbers... it is real to us. But it isn't real to a rock who cannot think.Sep 23 2013: Can we touch other numbers as well ?
bart hsi
Sep 23 2013: The number "3" is an important symbol in mathematics as well as in language. In language, your concept of the number of cars in your driveway is quite essential when you want to "make use" or "get rid" of several or all of them. For example, when we go to a party in our friends' house with a circular drive. At some occasions when we want to leave early. Then we look at the position of our own car in the circular drive. If we see that there are 3 or more cars in front and in back of our car, then we better wait until the guests are starting to thin out. Except in a real emergency, it's a big hassle to identify the guests who own these cars. In general, even if you can't touch or feel the number of anything, but this concept in numbers is very important. I wonder, for instance that you can get the excuse from being found out about the number of beer cans in your car in a "drunk while driving" case, if you use the excuse argument of no touch, no feel about the number of cans of beer you have drunk.
- 0
Of course, the entire business couldn't function if you say that the numbers are unreal. Regardless of what you "call" them as real or unreal, the human society simply couldn't operate with almost all the activities without the quantification procedures. Put it in another way, the so-called touchable things won't have much meaning without the quantity modifier. Heck, not only the quantity of currency notes has very important meaning in commercial transactions, the denomination on a note could have even more meaning and importance than the quantity of the notes.
We can also look at the problem in this way. The COMPREHENSIVE "feel" or "touch" of 3 cars in your driveway is certainly different from the feel of two cars or one single car there.Sep 22 2013: Definitely a mental construct - try 0 - 8>))Sep 22 2013: 3 is not an object and has no presence, so I suppose it doesn't exist in the traditional sense. Instead it is a construct of the mind, designed to help us make sense of the world around us.
Its more akin to an ideology or an idea. It only truly exists as a concept in our minds.
Still utterly helpful though. Philosophizing or otherwise, mathematical concepts have a myriad of practical applications.
Sep 23 2013: I agree with both of your points. "3" seems to be a purely mental concept. Yet applied mathematics is extremely powerful. This raises the question, how can that be? If "3" is not inherent to objective reality (whatever THAT might be), how is it that removing one car (3-1) always results in two cars being present in the driveway?
Sep 23 2013: Just because a concept doesn't have a physical presence doesn't mean it can't be used to approximate real world events with great precision.
The mathematics used in physics is essentially a theoretical model that behaves like the real world, because its specifically tailored after measurements to do just that. Trial and error is a very big part of the process.
But look at me, philosophizing over nonsense. The important thing is, that from a purely practical standpoint, it works.Sep 22 2013: I may think you are drunk.:)Sep 22 2013: Do you define "real" as something you can touch?
Sep 23 2013: Hi, Fritzie. Your question illuminates a flaw in my example. No, I don't define "real" as something I can touch. I'm not even sure I can come up with a good definition of "real." My common sense notion of the cars, though, is that they exist whether or not my mental construct of them exists or not. Of course, the notion of "car" is a mental construct, as is any other verbalization I might give. Still, there seems to be some independent physical existence to which I am attaching the word "car."Sep 22 2013: Mental constructs, It is in your mind that 3 exists otherwise in reality it doesn't. I may sound insane but for you number 3 can hold a different meaning while a person from primitive society may recall number 3 as something else. Though, it is all in your mind.
Sep 23 2013: Hi, Talha. I tend to agree with you. However, this raises other questions. For example, why does applied mathematics work? 3-1=2, to take a trivial example. If someone moves one of the cars, then inevitably, there are two cars left in my driveway. Am I somehow creating the entire phenomenon? Is the mathematics behind physics creative or explanatory?

I love Stout. I am currently on the Waterski team and just became a board member. I have been meeting so many new friends and love it here.Read More
I really do love it here. I made some really great friends and really enjoy the activities here. During the school year, ya you have homework, but there is always something to do when you DO get some free time. Things like concerts, comedy shows, sports games, intramural sports, etc! The past two years, Stout had artists such as Ingrid Michealson, Quietdrive, and Motion City Soundtrack. I have some really great memories from those shows! You'll never be bored.Read More
The only downside to the school is that it is in the middle of nowhere. It's known as a very common party-school. If you don't party, there's not much else for you to do there. Very few student activities planned and the surronding city is very small. You really need a car to enjoy out-side entertainmentRead More
I can't give this category all five stars because I am not exactly pleased with the way that Stout handles extra-curricular activities. During the first few weeks it was fun because everyone kind of had their days planned out and there was so much do to! And now since the semester has been rolling on, the activities for the majority of students has been leveled out and all that is left to do is go out and party. Which I choose not to do so I do not enjoy it as much as I would like to. I have started to attend things such as Campus Crusade every Thursday and I enjoy myself there. They have shown me that you don't have to go out all the time to have a good time. They have provided many things to do without going to a house party. There are many things for students to do during the course of the week, which I choose to do some of them if I'm not doing homework, but on the weekends not much is provided. This is why I have only given this category three stars.Read More
Stout has been great so far for me. All of the people are really nice and you have the opportunity to meet a lot of people. The school is small enough were you can get to know a lot of people but at the same time its big enough to have a wide variety of options and people. Everything on the campus is well maintained including a newly renovated dinning hall of underclassmen. Also, I think all of the food service options are great.Read More

This is off of a Mulch Finisher, didn't get a picture of the whole machine, maybe I can find a picture.
They were turning when the outside set of lift wheels dropped in a washout, the pictures tell the rest. Got them fixed up so they could get back in the field and has been raining ever since.
Found a picture of a similar machine.

hypnotic / theme
The hypnotic invites you to sit back and let its mysterious techne work you over. You voluntarily succumb to its subtle charms; its repetitive murmuring or oscillating binary patterns, the spinning or spiraling or slow chant-like gliding. It lulls and muffles, wends itself into the strange seas beneath your consciousness, whispering sibilant syllables.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I know there have been discussions on this before, but I want to ask around again. I am in need of some new golf shoes this summer, and I am looking at the Keen Milo 2. I have used the Bite shoes for the past 4 years, and they have worked well, but from what I have experienced, and seen from Keen I know it is worth the price.
I have heard the the first Milo fell apart after some use. Does anyone have experience with the Milo 2's, and are they worth the price?

Been looking at the Five Tens.
Which one did you get?
Have not had any problems with my Salomons....
The Impacts, I would stay away from their "hiking"shoes. They are designed for approach/base climbing, so the mid soles are VERY stiff. I bought a pair a few years back and have not used them much. So, check out their mountain bike shoes "free pedal" AKA: no toe clips. I bought the high tops, because of the crazy colors of the other shoes (they look like Vans or Airwalks).
So even these were a little stiff and combersome (think hiking boot/shoe, not trail runners), but after several rounds they feel great! Time will tell, but my biggest concern is the extreme grippyness of these shoes. I played Golden Gate Park the other day, it was wet and muddy, but I was amased at how well these held on the cement teepads. It was like they were nice and dry! The biggest plus, is after six months and aroun 50+ rounds, the soles are still attached to the mid sole and the top of the toe area! Will the soles last a few years? Not sure, because they are very soft and tacky. But worth the price and gamble imo.
been using the Timberlands for years, great duragbility and waterproof. You can find them at the outlet store too and get them for about $40. The Canard.

Comments On Oct 28, 2013:I used these on my lightly modded LTR450 (not in the list), they are very light and grips very good with light sliding, what i did that i trimmed them a bit so it slides / drifts and corners even better in light pure sand dune now
Be warned though that these CANNOT go on any hard gravel, they are sensitive to other surfaces, when i installed them i went for a gravel in a short period and some blades were cut but not much.

Comments On May 31, 2013:these tires look amazing and track very well in the sand.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 20, 2013:These tires are excellent in the 7 paddle variety for atvs that aren't the most powerful machine on the dunes. They provide a nice balance of traction and slip coming out of the hole and give all the bike can handle for hill climbing traction. They also weigh just about nothing. I've tried other 8 paddle tires like the sand stars and there is just no comparison in performance.

Comments On Jul 11, 2012:Perfect for what they were designed for, sand. Edges slide well, have great hookup and are light & durable.

Comments On Jun 20, 2012:Really a great all-around sand tire. Smooth ride and excellent durability. Light weight. One of the significant differences I've noticed in this tire vs. other v-paddles is the amount of cupping built into each paddle. Compared to other v-paddles I've used, these really move ALOT of sand. I don't regret spending a little extra for these tires as they've proved to be worth every penny.

Comments On Feb 17, 2009:at 10psi the 8 paddles work awesome. they grip great and still let me whip the backend around. they are the best sand tire i have ever run for side-hilling.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 07, 2009:I've ran these paddles for two years now, second set, and like them because of the traction they provide and I like the smaller 7 paddles because I get more wheel spin which puts my rpms at a higher torque and horsepower range. I like the v paddles for the sides of hills they seem to stick a little better then straight. I'm not happy with the quality I only get a season out of them before they start to fall apart. Don't think I'll be running these paddles again.

Comments On Sep 30, 2008:I have a Yamaha 700R Raptor with some mods and these tires work great with them. They are definetly worth the money. When I race at the dunes I can hardly keep the front end down. They will slide around corners if you give them some body English. All in all, awesome tire!

Good afternoon. It's great to be back at GW. I want you to know that one of the reasons I worked so hard with Democrats and Republicans to keep the government open was so I could be here today with all of you. I wanted to make sure you had one more excuse to skip class. You're welcome.
I want to give a special thanks to Steven Knapp, the president of GW. I just saw him. Where is he? There he is, right there. Thank you. We've got a lot of distinguished guests here, a couple people I want to acknowledge. Of course, my outstanding vice president, Joe Biden is here. Our Secretary of the Treasury Tim Geithner is in the house. Jack Lew, the director of the office of management and budget. Gene Sperling, chairman of the National Economic Council is here. Members of our bipartisan fiscal commission are here, including the two outstanding chairs, Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson are here. And of course we have a number of members of Congress here today. I'm grateful for all of you taking the time to attend.
What we've been debating here in Washington over the last few weeks will affect the lives of the students here and families all across America in potentially profound ways. This debate over budgets and deficits is about more than just numbers on a page, more than just cutting and spending. It's about the kind of future we want. It's about the kind of country we believe in. And that's what I want to talk about today.
From our first days as a nation, we have put our faith in free markets and free enterprise as the engine of America's wealth and prosperity. More than citizens of any other country, we are rugged individualists, a self-reliant people with a healthy skepticism of too much government.
But there has always been another thread running throughout our history – a belief that we are all connected; and that there are some things we can only do together, as a nation. We believe, in the words of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, that through government, we should do together what we cannot do as well for ourselves. And so we've built a strong military to keep us secure, and public schools and universities to educate our citizens. We've laid down railroads and highways to facilitate travel and commerce. We've supported the work of scientists and researchers whose discoveries have saved lives, unleashed repeated technological revolutions, and led to countless new jobs and entire industries. Each of us has benefitted from these investments, and we are a more prosperous country as a result.
Part of this American belief that we are all connected also expresses itself in a conviction that each one of us deserves some basic measure of security. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, hard times or bad luck, a crippling illness or a layoff, may strike any one of us. "There but for the grace of God go I," we say to ourselves, and so we contribute to programs like Medicare and Social Security, which guarantee us health care and a measure of basic income after a lifetime of hard work; unemployment insurance, which protects us against unexpected job loss; and Medicaid, which provides care for millions of seniors in nursing homes, poor children, and those with disabilities. We're a better country because of these commitments. I'll go further – we would not be a great country without those commitments.
For much of the last century, our nation found a way to afford these investments and priorities with the taxes paid by its citizens. As a country that values fairness, wealthier individuals have traditionally born a greater share of this burden than the middle class or those less fortunate. Everybody pays, but the wealthier have borne a little more. This is not because we begrudge those who've done well – we rightly celebrate their success. Rather, it is a basic reflection of our belief that those who have benefitted most from our way of life can afford to give back a little bit more. Moreover, this belief has not hindered the success of those at the top of the income scale, who continue to do better and better with each passing year.
Now, at certain times – particularly during periods of war or recession – our nation has had to borrow money to pay for some of our priorities. And as most families understand, a little credit card debt isn't going to hurt if it's temporary.
But as far back as the 1980s, America started amassing debt at more alarming levels, and our leaders began to realize that a larger challenge was on the horizon. They knew that eventually, the Baby Boom generation would retire, which meant a much bigger portion of our citizens would be relying on programs like Medicare, Social Security, and possibly Medicaid. Like parents with young children who know they have to start saving for the college years, America had to start borrowing less and saving more to prepare for the retirement of an entire generation.
To meet this challenge, our leaders came together three times during the 1990s to reduce our nation's deficit. They forged historic agreements that required tough decisions made by the first President Bush, then made by President Clinton; by Democratic Congresses and a Republican Congress. All three agreements asked for shared responsibility and shared sacrifice, but they largely protected the middle class, our commitments to seniors; they protected key investments in our future.
As a result of these bipartisan efforts, America's finances were in great shape by the year 2000. We went from deficit to surplus. America was actually on track to becoming completely debt-free, and we were prepared for the retirement of the Baby Boomers.
But after Democrats and Republicans committed to fiscal discipline during the 1990s, we lost our way in the decade that followed. We increased spending dramatically for two wars and an expensive prescription drug program – but we didn't pay for any of this new spending. Instead, we made the problem worse with trillions of dollars in unpaid-for tax cuts – tax cuts that went to every millionaire and billionaire in the country; tax cuts that will force us to borrow an average of $500 billion every year over the next decade.
To give you an idea of how much damage this caused to our national checkbook, consider this: in the last decade, if we had simply found a way to pay for the tax cuts and the prescription drug benefit, our deficit would currently be at low historical levels in the coming years.
Of course, that's not what happened. And so, by the time I took office, we once again found ourselves deeply in debt and unprepared for a Baby Boom retirement that is now starting to take place. When I took office, our projected deficit, annually, was more than $1 trillion. On top of that, we faced a terrible financial crisis and a recession that, like most recessions, led us to temporarily borrow even more. In this case, we took a series of emergency steps that saved millions of jobs, kept credit flowing, and provided working families extra money in their pockets. It was absolutely the right thing to do, but these steps were expensive, and added to our deficits in the short term.
So that's how our fiscal challenge was created. That's how we got here. And now that our economic recovery is gaining strength, Democrats and Republicans must come together and restore the fiscal responsibility that served us so well in the 1990s. We have to live within our means, we have reduce our deficit, and we have to get back on a path that will allow us to pay down our debt. And we have to do it in a way that protects the recovery, and protects the investments we need to grow, create jobs, and helps us win the future.
Now, before I get into how we can achieve this goal, some of you – particularly the younger people here, you don't qualify Joe – some of you might be wondering, "Why is this so important? Why does this matter to me?"

Goals: Akatsuki is Japan's first mission to Venus. The spacecraft was designed to orbit Venus following the westward rotation of the atmosphere, mapping the circulation and vertical structure of the planet's thick clouds.
Accomplishments: The spacecraft did not achieve Venus orbit insertion in December 2010 as planned. Mission planners are evaluating the spacecraft and determining the feasibility of trying again when the spacecraft returns to Venus in six years.
