More than 75 percent of construction waste was diverted from landfill.
Data Holdings LLC, a Milwaukee-based data center, has earned Gold certification by the U.S. Green Building Council's or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. The 46,000 square-foot data center is Wisconsin's first LEED Gold data center and joins a small distinguished group of companies, including Facebook, GM and Equinix, with LEED Gold data center facilities, according to the company.
"This milestone, achieved by only a few in the data center industry, is a testimony to the value and integrity purposefully designed into this building," says Dan McGrath, a data center industry executive with more than 30 years' experience and CEO of NewAge Data Center Solutions, which operates the data center. "In today's best in class data centers, such as Data Holdings, it is imperative that technologies and practices to manage and protect data also minimize environmental impact and user and owner operational costs."
Data Holdings opened in May 2013. It was built using sustainable construction practices. The project diverted more than 75 percent of the on-site generated construction waste away from the landfill. More than 20 percent of the building's materials contain recycled content including carpet, porcelain tile and plastic laminate.
To enhance indoor air quality and occupant comfort, selecting low and no VOC (volatile organic compound) materials was a priority. The facility's notable environmental and business features include a high-efficiency chilling system with airside economizer technology that provides data center users with year-round free-cooling when the outside air temperature dips below 60 degrees. The free-cooling capability contributes to Data Holding's excellent Power Usage Effectiveness, or PUE, rating.
The data center utilizes high-efficiency technologies for a number of functional and equipment needs including uninterruptable power supply, electronically commutated motors, lighting, water heating, and plumbing fixtures. A white roof with a Solar Reflective Index (SRI) of 110 (compared to standard roofs which typically have a SRI of 20) that reduces heat gain tops Data Holdings while water efficient, native plantings surround the building. Additionally, a storm water management system captures more than 80,000 gallons of storm runoff, thereby reducing flow to the city's sewer system. A porous asphalt paved parking lot also helps manage storm water.
"For Data Holdings, LEED Gold Certification is another important differentiator that will appeal to data center users looking to store their valuable information with organizations that share their enterprise's values for both fiscal and environmental stewardship," says Ian Favill, who leads business development for Data Holdings.

Higher Education:
Tuition Increasing Faster Than Household Income and Public Colleges' Costs
HEHS-96-154: Published: Aug 15, 1996. Publicly Released: Aug 15, 1996.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to congressional requests, GAO provided information on: (1) changes in college tuition levels relative to increases in consumer prices and families' ability to pay; (2) the extent that increased expenditures for instruction, administration, research, and other services have contributed to the increase in colleges' overall expenditures; (3) how tuition levels at public colleges and universities vary among the states and the factors that account for the differences; and (4) what actions states and institutions have taken to deal with affordability issues.
GAO found that: (1) between 1980 and 1995, average tuition at 4-year public colleges for in-state, full-time students increased 234 percent, while median household income increased 82 percent and the Consumer Price Index increased 74 percent; (2) the increase in colleges' expenditures and a greater dependency on tuition as a revenue source were the two factors most responsible for the tuition increase; (3) tuition revenues increased from 16 percent to 23 percent during this period, mainly because the revenue share provided by states decreased 14 percent; (4) student grant aid has not kept pace with tuition levels, so students and their families are relying more heavily on loans and personal finances; (5) increases in instruction, administrative, and research costs accounted for more than two-thirds of the 121 percent increase in total college expenditures; (6) expenditures for scholarships and fellowships, student services, and plant operations and maintenance, which also rose faster than inflation, accounted for about one-fourth of the increase; (7) for school year 1995-96, in-state student tuition at 4-year public colleges ranged from $1,524 to $5,521, with a nationwide average of $2,865; (8) states' level of financial support to colleges accounted for most of the variation in tuition levels, but there was a strong correlation between state and local tax rates, median household income, and colleges' expenditures per student and state tuition levels; and (9) states and colleges are taking actions to address college affordability issues, such as limiting tuition increases, providing payment alternatives, and speeding academic progress.

The Robert W. Woodruff Library provides a sufficient number of qualified staff with appropriate education and experiences to support the academic program of Morehouse College. The Library employs 25 full time librarians, the majority with a double masters or doctorate degree or superior professional experience. The Library employs 54 administrative, professional, and paraprofessional staff with depth of knowledge and/or a college degree in their field.
The Library's administrative support is provided through the office of the CEO/library director and includes human resources, budget and finance, library security, shuttle services, and facilities management.
All staff is able to participate in professional development for purposes of advancing the mission of the Library and for development of workplace knowledge and skills. Librarians regularly participate in meetings and committees of the American Library Association and associated divisions, e.g. ACRL and LAMA. Staff members conduct workshops and seminars at the regional and local level of library cooperation through ARCHE, GALILEO, SOLINET and AMPALS. In addition, as a result of the recent strategic plan, the Human Resources department is responsible for the Library's general training program. This program will address new employee orientation, functional training for departments, and leadership training for managers. An annual Staff Day is delivered each year in May.
The performance management system works well; however, the planning process revealed an opportunity to be proactive about the evaluation process. It has been revised. Next steps include updating job descriptions, and a study of compensation and promotion is being considered. The Library is in compliance with the guidelines for hiring of professional librarians, as outlined in the standard published by the Association of College and Research Libraries. A profile of librarians and job descriptions is included. Official transcripts for all librarians ad professional staff are on file in the Library's Human Resources office.
The Library's vision of being the first choice and best choice for information for Morehouse College students and faculty means that we will need to revise some position descriptions and increase current levels of staff so that the academic change and growth of the University is matched with a requisite growth in the number of professional librarians, paraprofessional and support staffing.
As reported for the Fall 2006 semester, the collective student body enrollment served by the Robert W. Woodruff Library was 9,723 FTE, of which 2,943 FTE were students from Morehouse College. A collective total of 730 full-time faculty members are served; 195 are faculty from Morehouse College. Library support is received and library services are provided on the basis of these figures. Student enrollment and student to librarian ratio of each member institution is:
Morehouse College 2,943 FTE - Librarian to student ratio of 1:118Spelman College 2,269.5 FTE - Librarian to student ratio of 1:91Interdenominational Theological Center 327 FTE - Librarian to student ratio of 1:13Clark Atlanta University 4,183.5 FTE - Librarian to student ratio of 1:167
In Spring 2007, the library embarked on a benchmark study for its Board of Trustees comparing RWWL with libraries of peer and aspiration institutions as identified by the AUC member schools. Statistical data were obtained from the libraries' responses to the 2005/2006 National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) survey. Comparisons were made against several categories of information, including the number of staff and budget expenditures per student FTE (SFTE). The identities of the peer and aspiration institutions are not provided following the NCES statutory requirement. A comparison of the Morehouse College peer and aspiration institutions uniquely demonstrates that RWWL has twice as many librarians as its peer and aspiration institutions. However, Morehouse College's peer and aspiration libraries' expenditure levels per SFTE are significantly higher. RWWL/Morehouse College expenditure levels for materials and salaries per SFTE are calculated at $344 / SFTE. The Morehouse College peer library has an expenditure level for materials and salaries of $763 / SFTE. The Morehouse College aspiration library has an expenditure level for materials and salaries of $1,516 / SFTE. The RWWL/Morehouse College expenditure level is significantly lower than that reported for HBCUs ($516.44) and non-HBCUS ($538.33), according to the State of the Libraries at Historically Black Colleges and Universities report. Although the report's expenditure levels were based on 2000 data, RWWL expenditure levels are an area for further examination.
*Comparisons with comparable and local institutions:
*Note: These are comparisons with comparable and local institutions. Current literature suggests to us a number of inputs and outputs for assessment of the manner in which library services are delivered and the way in which access to resources, aided by technology, is provided. The ratio of librarians to students is not the only reliable indicator that is considered when assessing the quality of RWWLibrary services. In addition, other factors which we feel impact the services resources and teaching and learning include the total number of library staff, physical floor space, local and regional consortia agreements, strength of the paraprofessional staff, transaction statistics, use of virtual reference systems delivering expertise of librarians from multiple sites anytime anywhere, library work flows, etc.

text: Cues: Your Verbal Arsenal Say it right, and your class will follow. by Jackie Camborde P Picture this. You're about to take your first-ever step class. You've never even seen a step class before--let alone tried one. The instructor comes in and says,"Hi, my name is Jackie, and my class is really hard. So if you get lost, just march in place or do a basic step. Ready? Let's go!" The next hour proceeds like a slow train ride in a foreign country where you are the only one speaking English. You feel lost, and you can't understand a word the instructor says. As she belts off commands like "turn step, cha-cha-cha, over the top, hopstep," you are twisting, turning and going the wrong way at every cue. The regulars roll their eyes unsympathetically as you finally near the end of this hour of torture. Will you come back next week? Unfortunately, the answer is probably no. Why? The instructor didn't know how to give the right verbal cues to help you. The next question is: are you that instructor? It's really easy to fall into the trap of minimal cuing if you see a room full of regulars, but you want to keep your verbal cuing fresh and informative for everyone. There are several types of cues for any class you teach, as well as ways to make your cuing as clear as possible. Instructor as Reporter When building your arsenal of verbal cues, approach it the same way a reporter does an article. Find the who, what, when, where, why and how behind your words. After you've done this, you can apply what you've learned to the type of cues you want to give. Here's a rundown of seven basic verbal cues we all use. Introductory. Who are you, what class is this, and how will participants benefit from it? Your introduction may not seem to you like a time for cuing, but this is perhaps the most critical time for your students to receive cues. How you walk in the room and introduce yourself, describe the class format and explain general safety rules might make or break your class. Remember, you are creating a mood and a safe place for students to be for the next hour. Here's an example of a well-thought-out introductory cue: "Welcome to core strength, a class designed to work your total body through a series of balance, strength and agility drills. My name is Jackie, and I want to take a couple of minutes to show you the equipment we're going to be using today. I also want to make you familiar with some safety issues and a few modifications you may want to try throughout class. If you follow my lead, I guarantee you will feel you've worked every muscle in your body by the end of the hour. Any questions? Let's get started!" By introducing yourself, giving a thumbnail sketch of the class (including how to modify moves) and leaving room for quesFebruary 2007 IDEA Fitness Journal tions, you have prepared your class--and it took only a minute and a half! Your walkin sets the tone for everything to come. Never discount the importance of this time. Instructional. What are you going to do, and why are you doing it? If you teach yoga, you know that you talk a lot more than you do in a kickboxing class. Many of your cues are going to be instructional, because each asana (posture) has a multitude of alignment issues. "Now move into triangle pose. Triangle helps to open the side body, promotes balance and strengthens the leg muscles. Step back with your left leg, and turn your left foot in at a 45-degree angle. Your torso and head are facing the right side of the room. Reach out with your right arm and back through your left hip. Bring the right hand to the front of the lower right leg and the left hand up to the ceiling." Notice that each part of this cue series has an active command: move, step, turn, reach, look. It's important to make each instructional cue as active and direct as possible. Directional. Where are you going? This one is pretty straightforward. Let's say you're teaching a kickboxing class. You may cue "shuffle four right, left cross, four left, right cross." You have told your class where they are going and which way they are supposed to punch. When adding di- rectional cues, remember that it will help visual learners if you point or motion in the direction you want them to go. Descriptive. How does this exercise feel? Picture a body-mind class without descriptive cues. Where would you be without them? A descriptive cue gives participants an example they can relate to. It offers an image they can see in their mind's eye to help them accomplish the task at hand. Think about the Pilates exercise known as "swimming.""Lying prone with arms and legs extended, flutter your hands and feet in a rhythmic fashion with the breath." The most important part of this exercise is keeping the core muscles engaged to stabilize the body. A cue like "Draw your navel to your spine as if a block of ice were resting beneath your bellybutton" will immediately help students engage their core muscles.You can refer back to the ice block if they lose intensity. Prepatory. When do you change what you are doing? Prepatory cues are critical for any fast-moving class. Take cardio dance as an example. When moving from one choreographic pattern to another, it's important that your class knows several beats ahead of the music that you will be changing patterns. Making one word or phrase a regular cue to signify change will help. Something as simple as "Get ready to _______" or "Prepare for a change" lets participants know they are moving on. Motivational. Why are you still doing this, and how can you continue? Toward the end of class, these might be the questions your participants are asking themselves. Maybe they are starting to lose energy or focus. Your inner cheerleader/drill sergeant needs to take charge now. In step class, motivational cues are necessary throughout: "Good job! Keep going--just one more set--I know you can do it!" These phrases will all bring the energy level up. But motivational cues are also important for quieter classes like tai chi. Saying something like "Keep flowing with the wonderful energy you are exuding" helps students stay focused. Emotional. How are you feeling right now? Use emotional cues to bring students back to themselves. An emotional cue is a nice reminder for students to check in and see what's going on internally. How is their breathing, attitude or state of mind? In an indoor cycling class, this can be a way for riders to bring themselves back from the journey. "Take a moment, as you begin lowering tension, to take a little mental inventory. How do you feel compared with when you walked into class tonight?" Giving your students this type of perspective reminds them of the transformative power of exercise and how to harness it. Integrate Your Arsenal Now that you know the many varieties of cues, how do you fit them into your classes? Obviously, you can't use every cue for every exercise; otherwise you'd get through only eight counts of choreography or three yoga poses in an hour! The key is making sure you include all types of cues at various times throughout class. Remember that each person learns things from a different perspective. If you repeat a movement pattern more than once, try cues you can use: tips from the pros We asked some of the top IDEA presenters and conference attendees for their favorite cues. Add them to your toolbox! Indoor Cycling "Do you think you could add a little more resistance and pick up your pace, without going breathless? Going breathless is the easy way out; amaze yourself with what you are capable of without going there." --Shannon Griffiths-Fable, Nautilus Institute master trainer and 2006 ACE Group Fitness Instructor of the Year rpm, to add gear first and that [urge] to increase speed will probably go away." --Mindy Mylrea, 1999 IDEA Fitness Instructor of the Year, creator of Gliding "For trunk extension: `Think of elongating the spine. Gently pull the ribs away from the hips. As you lengthen the trunk outward, slide the shoulder blades down toward the tailbone.'" --Carol Murphy, Resist-ABall programming coordinator, owner of FitLife Create a smooth, even twist from the bottom to the top of your spine. Picture a gracefully curving spiral staircase. The top step is perfectly in balance over the bottom step." --Cheri Groom, presenter and master trainer for Resist-A-Ball and Gliding Step "Place the entire foot in the middle of the platform, and stand up tall when stepping up." --Kim Miller, AFAA certification specialist and master trainer for Gliding "If you notice someone in your cycling class pedaling too fast (which is a common concern), tell them if they want to go faster than the set Stability Ball "When trunk mobility is the goal [as in trunk curl], pelvic and neck stability are important. Cue to `gently yet firmly imprint the pelvis into the ball. Curl the base of the rib cage downward toward the hips. The ball should not move.' Pilates/Core For a V-sit, to lift the lower back out of flexion: "Zip up the lower back as if you are zipping up a skirt" --Linda L. Freeman, master trainer for Resist-A-Ball and SCW Education Yoga/Flexibility For spinal rotation: "On an exhalation, draw in from the pubic bone up to the navel, then from navel to solar plexus. All Classes "Instead of saying, `Don't do this,' focus instead on the positive. Use the word `keep' in your cue. For example, instead of saying, `Don't hold your breath,' say, `Keep breathing.' Instead of `Don't slouch,' say, "Keep your spine long and strong." --Lawrence Biscontini, MA, international fitness professional and spa consultant "For proper scapular positioning, say, `Put your shoulder blades into your back pockets,' especially when performing prone or inverted positions. `Drop your shoulders' or `put your shoulders down' can be confusing when you are upside down! It is a good way to remind people to relax the upper trapezius muscle and to rely more on the middle trapezius. "Follow up that cue with a reminder that if we cram our shoulder blades into our back pockets, we may end up with an unintended imbalance in our lower trapezius muscles!" --Rebecca Cleary, Resist-ABall master trainer February 2007 IDEA Fitness Journal instructional and directional cues the first time through, add descriptive cues the second time and use some motivational ones the third time. You don't want to sound like a broken record, so vary your cues enough to keep class interesting. Start to build a regular stash of cues you can draw from each time you teach. Since muscles have memory, it's important that some cues are similar from class to class. Your regulars know how to follow what you say, so be consistent. For example, if you teach yoga, establish a regular flow to how you teach a certain asana or a series like sun salutation. Not only will it put your participants at ease, but you will be free to watch your class and correct posture and alignment, rather than worry about what you are saying next. This brings up the next critical part of creating cues: rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal! Just as you would practice your dance moves before bringing them to hip-hop class, practice what you are going to say--aloud--before taking it into the classroom. When practicing a new routine, actually talk your way through class. Many instructors fall into the trap of perfecting their form without perfecting how to translate that form verbally. Remember, you have both visual and verbal learners in class. Your verbal folks are going to get annoyed if you are doing a mime performance. Think about stage actors and how they perfect their craft: through repetition and memorization. If they can't do these things, the whole play falls apart (does this sound a little like teaching a group exercise class?). One great tool you can use to better your techniques (both visual and verbal) is to videotape yourself teaching. It's always interesting (and sometimes daunting) to watch the tape. You start to see which cues you use in abundance and where you might be skimping. You see the habits you fall back on and also get a good idea about how to break them. When I started teaching, I felt I had to fill every moment with chatter, and therefore I came across as nervous and jittery. Once I learned that silence is not scary, my cuing became much more concise and direct. Videotaping also shows you any verbal tics you might have. For example, you may overuse a word, such as awesome, great or even the dreaded whooo! A pet word or phrase becomes a crutch when you don't know what else to say. Learning to remove verbal tics will make your class more focused and effective. Take the time to put these tips to use and you will begin to see changes in your classes. Maybe more people will have an easier time following you. Maybe you will be more able to move around the room (a must for any good instructor). Your comfort level will soar if you do the prep work and get your cues where they need to be. Your participants may not know that there is a method behind your leadership, but they will recognize that you are speaking their language, whether it is their first or 50th time in class. Make sure your cues are well rehearsed, clear and concise. Say it right, and your class will follow! Jackie Camborde is a continuing education provider, a master trainer for Resist-A-Ball

Super informative app!
I used to use myfitnesspal but kind of fell off the wagon and thus searched for a more interesting app for food logging. I came across this app and decided to give it a try and I'm glad that I did! It's an interesting app and with an update to expand the food bank I think this app is a hands down 5! I love that all foods in the food search come with pictures next to them as an icon, so you can easily spot the food you are looking for! It's really handy. Also, it gives you a GRADE on the food! Love this! And not only does it give a grade for the food it tells you WHY! dun dun dun! I love it. And the cherry on top is that it also has informative articles on food as well as it disects the pesky nutrition info label and explains to you what is really in your food. Absolutely love that. This way you know what you're eating, why it's good or not too good for you, healthier substitutions, and you learn the ingredients that you may want to omit or keep eating. Amazing!
Outdated Information
I am leaving you Fooducate. Why?
Your information is out dated. Look at the scientific studies coming out. Eating saturated fat will not give you atherosclerosis. Eating cholesterol will not give you a heart attack. Get re-educated about this. Fooducate is doing its users a disservice by not keeping up with current scientific data.
Logging in the app is a pain, I much prefer MyFitnessPal for logging my food. I didn't need Fooducate to tell me what's healthy and what isn't, though most people eat processed junk and carbohydrates like they are going out of style because supposedly eating 300g carbs is okay?
Almost anyone will lose weight if they reduce their carb intake, eat whole foods, and eat at a calorie deficit. Weigh your food, log it, count calories, don't eat fake food like margarine and sugary things. Diabetics should limit their carbs and calories if they want to see reasonable weight loss- why? Because the body has the same insulin response to carbs (especially grains) as it does sugar. Carbs = sugar.
What Fooducate does well is reveal controversial ingredients and how much sugar is in food. I applaud it for that. I think people need to see that. But Fooducate should reconsider its stance on fat and cholesterol. If it does then I might download it again. Otherwise I kissed my money goodbye. :/
Best app for a Best you!
I love this app ! I think it's really the best app out there. It teaches you quantity, Quality and exactly what you're putting in your body. It really brings to your attention how much you actually are eating when you are recording it. I was surprised how many few bites here and there and how much they added up. The quality of what I thought !, I was purchasing and what I was actually getting. To be able to estimate all my daily activities to know what I actually burned. The quality of food knowledge and updates is invaluable and unlike any other app out there for A healthy lifestyle! The only improvement is to delete doubles n triples of same products.

Full detailed profile on Michael Corinthos III Played by Chad Duell on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Chad Duell (ABC)
Real Name: Chad Duell
Tracy visits Michael at his apartment and asks what he knows about the search for Lulu. Michael insists he and Sonny know nothing and wonder if Luke has a lead. Tracy is pretty sure Luke isn't looking for Lulu but knows he will be devastated if something happens to her. Michael can see how worried she is and promises to call her with any news.
Morgan and Michael sit outside at Kelly's for dinner. Kiki joins them and teases Morgan about Rosalie. They push him to make peace with Ava before the baby comes. This leads to Morgan ranting and stomping off to find a waitress. Kiki runs after him. She catches him inside and apologizes. Back outside, Rosalie arrives. She and Michael chat about Morgan and his 'incestuous' love life. She pries and hints that he should be jealous of his brother and Kiki. He keeps insisting they are only friends. She heads inside to get a coffee and watches Morgan and Kiki at the bar, discussing Carly and Franco sleeping together.
Kiki absentmindedly paints light switches at the brownstone. Shirtless Morgan wonders what she's distracted by. She pretends to be worried about the kidnapping but he doesn't buy it. After he nags her, she admits she has a problem with his mom. He nags more. "She slept with your father," Kiki explains. They mull over her options. Michael shows up.
Nina is in the art therapy room thinking of her last conversation with Franco. Rosalie arrives and starts to tease her about the artist. Nina shows her the hand and changes the topic to her revenge plans for Kiki. She decides to take Michael away from her. They debate this. Nina realizes the chair would get in the way of her seducing him so she decides Rosalie should do it. Rosalie refuses. Nina reminds her that she's basically a hooker already. Rosalie explains that she has a thing for Morgan. Her boss doesn't care. Later, she wheels out. Franco catches her and apologizes. He hopes they can be friends. She admits he was right and they agree to be friends. Down the hall, Kiki, Michael and Morgan arrive to get Alice. They bump into Rosalie.
Michael and Morgan visit Sonny at his office, concerned about Maxie and Lulu. Morgan thinks Carly should be with them. Michael tells them about his uncomfortable dinner with Ava. He knows it's a touchy subject but he wanted to see where Carlos murdered AJ. They decide to pray that Lulu comes home safely. Carly arrives just as the boys are leaving and they promise to keep their parents posted. Alone, Carly tells Sonny she and Franco are back on track and he can't find out they had sex. Outside, Kiki hears everything.
Ava hands Michael her killer chocolate mousse at her penthouse. He detects notes of chili powder and espresso and she nervously encourages him to dig in. Kiki inhales hers, but Michael wants to savor his. Ava gives an impassioned speech about doing anything to protect her sweet girl. Michael tells her keeping Kiki safe is something they have in common, especially after Luke was all over her. Ava demands details. Kiki downplays it but Michael tells Ava how pervy and aggressive Luke was. Kiki worried no one would believe her and when she told Tracy she was furious with her. Michael picks up his mousse and Ava promptly knocks it out of his hand. She refuses to continue with dessert like nothing happened! She will make Luke pay. Julian returns and Ava calls it a night. Michael and Kiki thank her for dinner and she promises Michael two mousses next time. Alone, she tells Julian she granted Michael a reprieve. Luke has been targeting Kiki, and might have raped her if she hadn't fought him off. Luke thinks with his bits and she's going to cut them off. She makes a move to call Luke but Julian stops her. He suggests she offer something of equal or greater value – Sonny. Getting the recording with Franco's help is the only play she has left.
Back at the hospital Michael and Kiki check on Alice and look for a sub-par replacement dessert. Michael thinks today is not his lucky day.
Michael and Kiki wander the hospital discussing wrestling. She announces they are having dinner with her mom. He's not thrilled and reminds her that AJ was shot in her penthouse. He thinks visiting may give him some closure and mentions how much he wishes his father's killer was rotting in the ground.
Ava returns to the penthouse with groceries. Her brother teases her for taking the risk. She's making dinner for Kiki and Michael. He guesses she is going ahead with the boss' plans. Ava assures him she'll be subtle and pulls out a vial of poison. He'll die in his sleep hours later. Only moments later, Michael and Kiki arrive with some sparkling cider. As Ava sadly heads for the kitchen, Michael paces around and feels uncomfortable. He insists on staying. Ava returns in her apron to say she is ordering in but made the dessert herself. Julian takes off, quietly cracking a joke to his sister about 'death by chocolate' on the way. The three sit down to an awkward dinner. Michael assures Ava he will be part of the baby's life, regardless of who the father is. He barely eats, even though the meal consists of his favorites. "It's like you cooked him his last meal," Kiki says. She points out that AJ was shot there. Ava tries to be sympathetic. Once they are all stuffed, Ava brings out chocolate mousse for dessert.
At the hospital, Rosalie tries to calm Nina down but she's outraged that Ava is pregnant again, and to top it off, Ava doesn't know if the dad is a mobster or his son. Rosalie realizes she knows one of the possible pops. Nina doubts they would give her the time of day but Rosalie tells her she met Morgan in the park and he was really broken up about it. Nina is upset that Silas still hasn't had sex with her. What is she without a baby? Just a dry, old, barren woman! Rosalie reminds her that she will get everything she wants and deserves. "Assuming you can get pregnant," Rosalie comments. Nina rages that nothing is wrong with her. She'll have whatever she wants, no matter what. Silas is her first choice, but she's not opposed to finding someone else. She doesn't even have to cheat - there are other ways to make a baby. Meanwhile, Franco intercepts Michael, Morgan, and Kiki as they remove flowers from Alice's room and asks to give them to Carly. Michael wonders what he did to his mother and Franco tells them it's Sonny who should be apologizing for putting his hands all over Carly. Morgan and Michael tell him how many times Carly and Sonny have been together. Franco says some disparaging things about Ava and Kiki wants to know what he means. Franco just takes the flowers to go see Carly. Later, Kiki get a call from Ava with a dinner invite for her and Michael.

Many issues with this cabinet.
Debbie from Jacksonville, FL– Verified Buyer
Everything is a bit off after putting the cabinet together. There are gaps where panels do not fit exactly. The center piece for the drawers easily moves because it is not secured except for one screw in the back. Consequently, when you open a drawer it moves the center piece and makes the other drawer difficult to open and vice-versa. The drawers do not fit on the rollers correctly and the drawer faces rub on the bottom and on the top. The stainless top, as already mentioned seemed to be for another piece and just didn't seem to fit properly.It overhangs the towel bar and spice rack too far. It's bolted to the top from underneath at the sides. This causes the drawers to rub on the bolts making it difficult to open and close. The drawers are not very deep. The picture of the drawer faces is deceiving as the depth of the drawers is half of the size of the drawer face. I want to send this back as the quality is so poor. The only redeeming thing about it for me is the color matches my cabinets. Since I have company coming for the holidays and need the extra storage and counter space, and because I am handy I am attempting to make some modifications by removing the drawer glides and adjusting them up a bit. I am putting small shims between the cabinet and stainless top. This should correct the drawer faces from catching on the top and bottom and catching on the bolts. I am putting an L bracket on the center drawer piece at the front to secure it better. If that doesn't work I will definitely send this back. The cabinet also smells bad. The first day I had a terrible headache from the off-gassing. This seems to have gotten better after 3 days. The directions are horrible and lacking detail. The back panels are very flimsy and probably wouldn't take much pressure from a bump with the knee while standing at the cabinet to push them out. This item is not worth the money. It is the quality of something I would expect from a discount store.
Functional and Beautiful!
Marilyn from Braddock, PA– Verified Buyer
This cart is beautiful as well as functional. It takes a little time to put it together but the time is worth it. You end up with a very sturdy island/cart. It's great for a smaller kitchen. I got the white with the stainless steel top. It looks beautiful. Had some minor issues with some parts. Customer service was right on it. Had the replacement parts in no time. Would recommend this to anyone.
love love love it!
Marilyn from Smithville, TN– Verified Buyer
I received my order in 3 days and this was one of the easiest pieces I have ever assembled. It looks beautiful...very happy with it.
Sturdy cart
Mary from Henderson, NV– Verified Buyer
Easy cart to put together for the most part. Once built, it is very sturdy. Storage space is pretty darn good. It rolls easily, looks great, and fills the need for additional counter space and storage very well.
Great Quality-but
Denise from Los Angeles, CA– Verified Buyer
This island is the perfect size for a smaller kitchen. Assembly was a bit challenging but it is sturdy and good quality. If I was purchasing it again though I would select the granite top instead because it would be more durable. The stainless steel looked great but scratches very easily.
Stainless steel top island kitchen cart
James from Parachute, CO– Verified Buyer
This is an excellent item. I was very impressed with the instructions as well as the fact that all parts are labeled very clear and accurate. As far as quality it was well worth the money spent. If you want to spend 3000.00 dollars for a comparable item you can but I'm very happy with my 420.00 dollar item
Great Purchase

Easy to assemble and looks great. Was purchased as an island for the kitchen and has worked perfectly. Would recommend.

I use my cart in my laundry room for storage and as a folding area. Lots of storage in cabinets and drawers.The
Lovely kitchen cart/sideboard
Fiona from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
We purchased this kitchen cart to replace an old budget microwave cart that had seen better days. It has a lovely style that has really spruced up our slightly dated kitchen. The white colour is very classic, not too bright and not at all 'plastic' looking. The stainless steel top is fantastic!
OUR SKU # HO1859Create-a-Cart Kitchen Island with Stainless Steel Top is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 9200-1012, 9200-1022, 9200-1042, 9200-1062

Neighbors 'devastated' by loss of 8-year-old Dorchester boy - 0 Comments
The city today is mourning the 8-year-old boy killed in yesterday's Marathon explosions, as his mother and younger sister remain hospitalized.
"It just breaks my heart," Mayor Thomas M. Menino said simply this morning.
Martin Richard died in the blast. His mother, Denise, and sister, Jane, remain hospitalized. His father, Bill, and a younger brother, Henry, were uninjured.

Hey all,
I'm looking at putting a new i7 4790k desktop together and as I was adding stuff to the cart I paused after I added Windows 8.1 OEM.
I have seen some reports that Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Windows 8 users, but I have also seen reports that say it will not.
Seeing as Windows 10 is coming next year, should I hold off on waiting to upgrade?
I have a GTX 970 right now which supports DirectX 12 which I believe will require Windows 10.
Could I get away with using the Windows 10 technical preview in the interim while waiting to see how pricing will be handled for Windows 10?
Thanks for your advice, as always

Now it works. Thanks. ;) (I don't know why, but when I go to bing.com directly there'S no link to the Video Search function).
Doesn't work for me, it gives me a normal search result page. ?
I feel like I said it many times before, but what makes an article unique is the way you write it! Actually, almost anything you write and that you seriously care about will be unique.
I would have been too. But how can he get frustrated for a little bug in the site's script???
Those are the same reasons why I also prefer to write in the evening. In fact, it would be better if I'd get to sleep during the day and to be 'active' when everyone else is sleeping! :P
That's the problem here, auto-DMs aren't personnal at all! If at least they were written differently for some of the followers, that would be better.
I reckon that both Marcell and Sneakyheathen are right. 125x125ads usually are much more stylish than Google Ads anyway... so there isn't much a problem if you add them on your blog early.

I did some reserach and those appears to be free services for selling your domains.
You got an entire wall for this purpose? You should take a picture so we see how it looks like. :P
Err... that looks so discusting!
Well, it's the intent of the picture. ;)
Personally, I see no problem in buying an anual plan if you know that the host is reliable. Plus you save, so where's the harm in it?
Sorry, I don't know much about domains, what's the difference between a premiuim and a normal domain?
Most wikis and non lucrative organisation (Red-Cross, Amnisty International, Greenpeace, etc.)
How many good sites do you see running on .tel extension?
Yes, But there are limits too. Some people tend to add too much 'personnal' info; and in situations like these, too much is often worse than not enough.
You think that .tel domains are more innovative that .org? And .info? .tv, .biz, etc.
(In fact, anything but .tel!)
Hi G, welcome to WMP! You'll love this place. ;)
Your link doesn't give an entry in Wikipedia. Is that what rou are speaking of? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098084/ ;)
... Yeah, right.
To tell the truth, I do not give much of a damn about your article titles. Do as you want. ;)
(And please don't write PMs to tell me that I look pissed.:sarcastic: )
That is not what I meant. (I've read both of your posts... I know it's about Internet Vickings).
I fully understand the intent of your book and it is normal to add original titles in it, but:
Indeed. I've been using it alot since I bought it a month ago, it as been of a great help. And also, it is strategically positioned behind my restroom's door, so I always see it. :P

It should be as much, if not...

The Search Engine race is already over; how can they invets milion of dollars in a new website when they know they'll be crushed by Google?
Here's the link to MailChimp.
It's free when you have under 100 suscribers, after that the pricing similar with Aweber.
Mostly Retro games, and sometime the Red Square Game.
I prefer to play games on my console.
As many said before, quality baclinks is the key.
And sory to ask again, but your blog doesn't show as a PR1 to me yet.
Harry Potter, that movie scared the crap out of me.
One name: Frank Kern. :P
Well, you've got to be ready to make the big jump... and to cover the initial expenses first. But then, cha-ching!
It's a good start! However, maybe you'll want to make your titles a bit simplier for the next chapters... ;)
True. I guess servers aren't as much mobile than a laptop. :P
As Josh said, watch the video.
And as from anything from Google, I don't think Wave will disappoint its users, at least not as much than Cuil did (well, that's what Farrhad said :P).
As I said before, I'm using a whiteboard.
Well, if that was your goal, you've reach it all right. :P
Other thing, the search bar is a bit hard to find...
Indeed, I reckon it could be useful to test our own sites at a fixed interval of time.
By the way, I just got 4.5 seconds for WMP.:D
That might interest you. ;)
You'll want to advertise it directly on your site as John Chow does, but I suggest you to offer a freebie before so that people can have an idea of what they're buying. ;)
Nah it has nothing to do with Gmail.
Think of it as a Facebook/Gmail/Google Maps/IM mixed together. ;)
That's exactly what I meant. In fact if you mispell something, before you correct it other people will probably see your mistake before you, and you'll be leaving a bad impression.
That is not a service supported by Twitter, TweetLater is an independant company.
Same here. And since I don't use Twitter that much, I don't feel the use of an application right now. :P
Yes, but aren't they be moderated afterward all the same? Personally, when I make a comment, I don't care very much if it doesn't show up immediately.
Nope not at all, actually, I don't use my whiteboard only for that purpose, I really write ANYTHING that crosses my mind on it; only there's an area for my online 'life' on it. :P
Well it is not THAT bad, it's just that the main colors of your theme are green and gray, so the orange box looks a bit lost. Honestly, I don't know what you can do to make it bette, so I guess...
Hey I was just 'sharing my thoughts on this'. Aweber also let its users choose from a great amount of template for the emails. Also it has support and you are sure that your message is going to get...
Indeed, but surely there must be a way to block all DMs?! I can't believe they aren't doing anything about this (I mean, the Twitter HQ).
And I did not know that TwitterLater was responsible for...
Okay I understand.
And just to reiterate my first post, if everyoby's using a host in particular, I think it's success is likely to remain the same for the years to come. That's why there isn't...
Everything. The home page, the wall... nothing was left untouched. :|
No. What kind of drug is that?
Do you like sarcasm?
No�. I hate them and I don't send any.
Gloson, your link only works for Tweet Later suscribers, how do we know if the people DMing us are using this bot?
True, but sometime, even though the post is short, you just want it to 'fit' with the rest of the posts on your homepage (let's say that all of the other articles only show the first 100 words of the...
Isn't that what you said in your first post? :S
Because, once again, that implies complex manoeuvres, and not everyone is comfortable with it. Beside, I reckon that you can do much more things with Aweber than a script.
And if you want a free...
Well, if I had joined FB in the last month or so, I would have met great difficulties understanding the complex thing it has become today. Luckily, I joined before everything was all screwed up; so I...
In which way is it harder to manage a server once it is properly set-up? I mean, aside for keeping sure it's plugged, I don't know what can be tough to handle once everything is well installed.
Ouch, that sucks.
In the end, did he pay you for the design or (since he prefered using a free one) not?
And what is "graphic wizardry" anyway?!
If I had the techniqual knowledge, I would love setting up my own servers (I could have complete power over my site). Unfortunately, I don't so I guess I'll go with number 2. :P
Oh and btw, I...
Well, usually, the host everyone's using is considered as reliable you know, :P but I would go with the cheapest option I guess (doesn't mean I'm ready to register with any given host though).
For me it's Facebook. It's only my favorite because except for Twitter, it's the only social site I am on. And today, FB is worse than it used to be.
Nice, me too. ;)
That's what I understood, no problem. ;)
Good point.
Also I just noticed that the main content 'box' (if we can call it this way) isn't aligned with the header of your blog. is this wanted?
Lol, please don't take over his thread.
If you want to advertise your services, it would be much more appropriate to start your own thread about it. :P
Hey Enk! Long time no see... welcome back. ;)
Yes, that may be true for Google, but I know as a matter of fact that both Yahoo and mostly MSN still relly on meta tags.
Great post on your blog...
As I said in the other thread, I think it is great and I love the way your articles are displayed on your homepage, especially with the images on the right. (Do you make them yourself?:P)
Exact same thing here. Once, I bought two domains, one linked to a wordpress blog and the other to a Joomla established site. The 2nd one was a pain and didn't last long. :P
Yeah, it's called Paint. Ever heard of it? :P
He's speaking of the 'read more' link itself below an article on the homepage of almost any blog. That's why I find it ridiculous when he says it affects your ranking.
Gaya'S site is great, you know about him but he deserves a mention I believe.
You could have tried my link though.
Lol, I confounded with the one you made with Alex! I remembered finding Michael's blog shortly after yours. My bad. :embarrassed: :P
Most of the time yes. But again it depends on how targeted your site is (Brandon said his was) and what you offer to your visitors, even if they are a few. With a little work, you can successfully...
Yes I noticed that when I went to his site after I read your interview with him on Teenius. It's very clever, so much indeed that many people copied his idea (or did he himself from someone else?).
It is. I've read the ebook and it even offers us to share p0rn (aside from illegally downloaded albums and movies). Talk about something ethic.
However the method described in there might work if...
Probably a way to make more threads.
Nah, seriously, I get the feeling that akira is saying that the 'read more' link afffects your site's appearence to a Search Engine's eyes... and I...
Simon is right, actually I didn't tought of it before, but you can add much more articles on your homepage if your theme is able to show two on the same line (like Simon's).
And it's very neat. :P
Interesting way of keeping tack of your ideas!;)
Personally I have a white board and I write everything that crosses my mind on it. Just as good in my opinion.
Well obviously you don't have any experience about Paid To Review websites. I never seen one who wasn't asking for your traffic details.
Try reading the FAQ of those sites next time.
Yes, probably. But even Chrome had (and still has) a lot of bugs, so I expect the same from Wave.
And when you say 'from scratch', are you making logos and banners too?
Do you have examples of your previous work?
As Sneakyheathen said, even if it is about something I like, I am not interested in receiving stuff in my inbox that I did not ask for. Besides, most of the time, it's crap... that's why it's called...
It isn't. Simon's theme is custom made from http://kolakube.com .
In my opinions, that all depends on the product itself, how ell it sells and what's the demand for it. A 75% commission on a 5$ item isn't alot, especially in a niche were there are few buyers.
Congrats on the new design Simon. ;)
The least we can say is that it's very 'fresh'! :P
The orange suscribtion section doesn't fit very much with the theme when it comes to color, but apart from...

Most of what Josh said is true and I share his opinion.
Although, I think it's a ggod thing to elaborate and devellop ideas with people we can trust, even if they already are successful online....

So I would say 4 or 5.
