'Community' Lives! Yahoo Has Saved Greendale for a Sixth Season

"I am very pleased that Community will be returning for its predestined sixth season on Yahoo," Harmon said in a statement. "I look forward to bringing our beloved NBC sitcom to a larger audience by moving it online. I vow to dominate our new competition. Rest easy, Big Bang Theory. Look out, BangBus!"
"'The reports of our cancellation have been greatly exaggerated,'" McHale said, attributing the quote to Mark Twain, joking that the other version of this quote has been wrong for years. "#SixSeasonsAndaMovie is real. Thank you Sony. Thank you Yahoo. Thank you Dan Harmon. And thank you to the greatest f%$#ing fans in the history of the human race. It's the internet. We can swear now."
After five seasons of on-the-bubble ratings, NBC announced Community's cancellation back in May — truly the darkest timeline — but the show's hardcore fans never gave up. There's been plenty of speculation about online outlets vying to give the show a new home ever since, and now we can all wave our inappropriately emblazoned flags in victory.
Community has always been at its best when it's gone supermeta, and Abed's (Pudi) words of wall-breaking wisdom to Annie (Brie) in the Season 5 finale, "Basic Sandwich," signaled to fans that Harmon and company wouldn't give up the fight if NBC pulled the plug: "This show, Annie ... it isn't just their show. This is our show, and it's not over." And then he spouted something about asteroids destroying Greendale... so we're happy that didn't happen.
But they have had their fair share of hurdles along the way: There was the behind-the-scenes drama between Harmon and original castmember Chevy Chase that resulted in Chase's exit in Season 4; there was Harmon's ousting and replacement during Season 4 after repeated issues on set and fights with the network and studio; and there was Donald Glover's exit as Troy after only a handful of episodes in Season 5.
There's no love lost between Harmon and Chase, but we weren't alone in missing Troy Barnes. A lot. At Community's PaleyFest panel back in March, Harmon said he'd try his best to get Glover back on the show, if and when a Season 6 happened.
"I'm just going to go home, kill a chicken, drink its blood, make a Blair Witch thing out of its bones, pray to every deity that I have to that if we do get a sixth season that Donald will have tired of his Donald-ness," Harmon said at the time.
But a sixth season was seeming less and less likely as time went on. A few weeks back, Harmon seemed cautiously optimistic about the show's future while speaking at the Banff World Media Festival. Harmon praised the show's studio, Sony, for "brokering deals and making the impossible possible" but added a caveat: "I feel, just as a regular fellow looking at the whole thing, it seems so impossible to pull off. So many deals would have to be made that aren't currently made. So many contracts would have to be negotiated."

Get Kids in the Outdoors: Lt. Governor's Charity Sporting Clays Shoot
Our goal of MUCC's youth programming is to encourage kids to enjoy Michigan's outdoor playground and to teach them the value of conserving Michigan's resources for the future. How can we do this? By raising funds to support the Michigan Outofdoors Youth Camp and other MUCC children's programs.
Since 1946, MUCC's youth camp programs have helped introduce Michigan's outdoor heritage to generations of kids. More than ever before, the decline in fishermen and hunters threaten the prosperity and conservation of Michigan's wildlife. We need to encourage our children to participate in the bounty of Michigan's resources to ensure the growth of our economy and the quality of life in Michigan.
This is why we ask you to join for a day of fun in our Michigan outdoors!

A method suitable for removing settled sludge from the bottom of a storage tank uses a machine (1) including a central body (15) rotatable about which is a casing (2, 3) provided with two substantially diametric nozzles (4, 5) arranged so that liquid emerging therefrom sweeps substantially only in one plane, a turbine (12) rotating the casing about the central body (15) and half cylinder (18) ensuring that when the casing (2, 3) is continuously rotated, alternately one nozzle is closed for substantially 180° rotation while the other nozzle is open. Such machines may be suspended above the floor of the tank adjacent to a wall thereof. Liquid is emitted from the nozzles in a sweep substantially parallel to the bottom plane of the storage tank, thereby resuspending the sludge which thereafter is withdrawn as a suspension.
1. A method of clearing settled sludge from a circular storage tank having a bottom plane and a side wall and containing a quantity of stored crude oil, comprising the steps of pumping liquid crude oil through at least one sludge dislodging machine having an axis of rotation and two diametrically opposed liquid emitting nozzles, said at least one machine and associated nozzles being located adjacent a side wall of said tank and substantially above and spaced from the bottom plane of the tank, continuously rotating said at least one machine and associated nozzles about said axis of rotation so that the nozzles emit liquid in a sweep substantially parallel to the bottom plane of the storage tank, thereby re-suspending the sludge, blanking off the emission of liquid from each nozzle of said at least one machine during substantially 180° of its rotation to prevent liquid impingement against the tank side wall, and thereafter withdrawing the liquid crude oil in the tank and re-suspended sludge as a suspension.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said step of pumping and step of rotating and step of blanking are effected simultaneously upon three sludge dislodging machines equally spaced about the inner circumference of the side wall of said circular storage tank.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 301,414, filed Sept. 11, 1981, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,407,678.
This invention concerns a tank cleaning machine, especially for removal of sludge from the bottom of a storage tank and also to prevent sludge from re-precipitating on the bottom.
The accumulation of sludge on the bottom of crude oil storage tanks results in a number of operational problems, for example the capacity of the storage tank is reduced, `dams` formed by the sludge deposits may trap pools of water which later form water slugs in the outflow from tank, the sludge causes uneven landing of the legs of the floating roof and alternative use of the tank for other oil types and products is prevented. The sludge accumulates despite the operation of normal tank mixers and it must be periodically removed by physically entering the storage tank. This is costly, a potential hazard to personnel and gives rise to problems with the disposal of large amounts of sludge.
We have now devised a machine which enables sludge removal without tank entry, by the use of a submerged jet.
According to this invention a machine suitable for removing sludge from the bottom of a storage tank comprises a central body rotatable about which is a casing provided with two substantially diametric nozzles arranged so that liquid emerging therefrom sweeps substantially only in one plane. There is also a turbine rotating the casing about the central body and means ensuring that when the casing is continuously rotated, alternately one nozzle is closed for substantially 180° rotation whilst the other nozzle is open.
Using this machine crude oil from the storage tank may be recirculated through the machine and the jet produced by the rotating nozzle resuspends the sludge in the crude oil and thus facilitates removal or disposal by subsequent processing.
The central body will inevitably be circular in cross-section and is conveniently a disc which is stationary when the machine is in use. This body, e.g. disc, is usually bolted to the inlet pipework. Since the machine is designed to be suspended above but near the floor of a storage tank, this pipework will usually be fixed to the top of the machine. Alternatively this machine could be used upside down with the inlet on the bottom.
Although the machine is primarily designed to be suspended just above the floor of the storage tank it is possible for it to sit on a base in which case the base will have to be designed to cope with the fact that the floor of a storage tank is often sloping, e.g. the base will have adjustable legs.
The casing rotatable about the central body is preferably cylindrical and is provided with two substantially diametric nozzles. These nozzles should preferably be situated so that when the machine is suspended above or seated on the floor of a storage tank and the nozzles rotate the jet of liquid is between 20 cm and 40 cm above the floor of the tank. If the machine sits on a base, the casing will have to be free to rotate with respect to the base, e.g. it will be free to rotate within a circular recess.
The nozzles are arranged so that liquid emerging therefrom sweeps substantially only in one plane. When the machine is operating and suspended above or seated on the bottom of the tank it is preferable that the jets are substantially parallel to the bottom wall of the tank and so the nozzles should be designed to project substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the machine.
The shape of the nozzles is not critical but it is convenient if they are shaped like truncated cones tapering towards their extremities, the taper ensuring that the jet of liquid emerging has a comparatively small angle of spread.
It is essential that when the machine is in use liquid emerges substantially only from one nozzle at a time. This is necessary because the machines are usually located near the wall of the tank and it is highly desirable to prevent a jet of liquid emerging from a nozzle impinging on the tank wall at close quarters with possible damage to the tank wall. Accordingly it is preferred that the machine be located within a tank adjacent to the side wall thereof and arranged so that when the machine is operating substantially no liquid impinges on the side wall to which the machine is adjacent.
This blanking mechanism can take various forms but one simple form is to extend the central body, e.g. disc, along the longitudinal axis of the machine with a substantially half cylinder which is also housed within the casing, the half cylinder being large enough to shut off the inlet to one of the nozzles as the casing rotates. This means that liquid entering the machine and flowing within the casing and towards the nozzles will only be able to emerge laterally from the casing over an arc which is generally no more than 180°. It is only when one of the nozzles rotates through this arc that liquid can emerge from the machine, i.e. through one of the nozzles. In practice it is preferred that the half cylinder be somewhat greater than a half cylinder i.e. extend through an arc of 180° to 200°. However in some cases the arc could be anything between 160° and 200°.
An alternative arrangement is for the central body to be in the form of a cylinder with a window therein extending round the wall of the cylinder for approximately 180° and being positioned so that when the casing rotates about this cylinder liquid can emerge from the window and through a nozzle.
In order to be able to rotate the casing about the central body, a turbine is necessary and it is preferred that the casing houses the turbine which is rotated by flow of liquid through the machine. The turbine shaft has a gear and through a gear train the casing is caused to rotate about the central body. In the preferred embodiment the turbine is located in the upper part of the machine above the disc constituting the central body and within the substantially half cylinder. The turbine shaft extends downwards through an aperture in the disc and at its lower end is provided with a gear, for example a worm which engages with a gear train, rotation of which causes the casing to rotate about the central body, e.g. the disc.
The speed of rotation of the machine is fairly critical and in practice it is found desirable that when used for removal of sludge from the bottom of a storage tank, the casing makes one complete revolution in between 2 and 4 hours, e.g. about 3 hours.
Although in some cases one machine may be quite sufficient for cleaning the sludge from the bottom of a storage tank it may often be desirable or even necessary to use more than one such machine. One convenient arrangement when cleaning a tank having a circular side wall is to use two but preferably three, substantially equispaced machines suspended above the floor of the tank and adjacent to the wall. The sweep of the nozzle from each machine will cover the whole of the floor of the tank with little overlap of each sweep. Generally, the number of machines required depends on the size of the tank and the pumping capacity available.
Although the turbine is usually powered by recirculating the oil the turbine could be supplied with water under pressure, e.g. 6 to 14 kg/cm2. This may if desired be heated and may contain a detergent, a chemical emulsifier or demulsifier. If it was then desired to use the tank again for oil storage all traces of water would have to be removed before re-using the tank.
The invention is now described with reference to the drawings in which
FIG. 1 shows a view in perspective of a sludge removing machine;
FIG. 2 shows this machine installed suspended above the floor of a circular tank, the wall of which is part cut away;
FIG. 3 shows a view of the sludge removing machine in part section; and
FIG. 4 is a plan view of three sludge removing machines installed suspended above the floor of the circular tank.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings the sludge removing machine 1 comprises a rotatable casing having a lower portion 2 and an upper portion 3 to which two nozzles 4 and 5 are attached. The axis of the nozzles 4 and 5 is substantially at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the machine.
The sludge removing liquid, for example oil, enters the machine at the top (at 6 in FIG. 1) via the elbow pipe 7. This pipe 7 passes through an aperture 10 of the wall 11 of the tank and is provided with a flange 8 to which another pipe 9 is attached.
Referring now to FIG. 3 within the opening 6 at the top of the machine there is a turbine 12 having a shaft 13. This shaft 13 passes through an aperture 14 in a disc 15. The upper and lower portions 3 and 2 of the casing are connected together by flanges 16 and 17. In the annular space between portion 3 of casing and disc 15 there is a half cylindrical casing 18 which extends upwards from the disc 15. Although casing 18 is substantially half-cylindrical, in the immediate proximity of the disc 15 it does completely envelope the disc 15 and therefore completely occupies the annular space between disc 15 and portion 3 of casing. This casing 18 is fixed to disc 15 by welding but the upper and lower portions (3 and 2) of the outer casing bolted together at their flanges 16 and 17 are free to rotate about the casing 18.
The lower end of the shaft 13 is provided with a worm 19 which meshes with worm wheel 20. This worm wheel 20 is carried on shaft 21 the other end of which is worm 22. This worm 22 engages with worm wheel 23 and is carried on shaft 24, part of which is broken away for clarity. This shaft 24 carries a worm 25 which engages with worm wheel 26 carried on shaft 27. This shaft 27 also carries a spur gear 28 and this engages with a ring gear 29. This ring gear 29 is bolted to the ring 30 which in turn is bolted to flange 31 of lower portion 2 of the rotatable casing and to the base plate 32.
The machine operates as follows:
The oil is recirculated, entering the machine 1 through aperture 6 and causing turbine 12 to rotate. As the turbine shaft 13 rotates by means of worms 19, 22 and 25, worm wheels 20, 23 and 26, spur gear 28 and ring gear 29 the outer casing rotates about the disc 15 and half cylinder 18. Since the nozzles 4 and 5 are attached to upper portion 3 of the outer casing they also rotate in a substantially horizontal plane as shown at 34. Since these nozzles 4 and 5 are diametrically placed the flow of oil shown at 33 can only enter one nozzle at a time (as shown in FIG. 3, nozzle 4). As the nozzles rotate in the horizontal plane eventually the entry to nozzle 5 will be free of blanking by casing 18 and oil will enter this nozzle 5. At the same time the entry to nozzle 4 will be blanked off by casing 18 and so oil will be unable to enter nozzle 4. In this manner as the nozzles rotate oil will emerge from only one nozzle at a time.
FIG. 4 shows three equispaced sludge removal machines 1a, 1b and 1c. Provided there they are correctly orientated so that substantially no oil emerges from a nozzle directly pointing at the side wall, it can be seen that substantially the whole of the diameter of the tank bottom is swept by oil emerging from the three machines.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool loanee Joao Teixeira marked his first start for Brighton with a goal in a 2-0 Sky Bet Championship victory at Leeds and drew admiration from Seagulls manager Sami Hyypia.
Portuguese midfielder Teixeira, 21, earned rave reviews as a second-half substitute at Birmingham on Saturday and three days later he was firing an angled drive past Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri.
Leeds, pitifully short of attacking ideas, failed to build on their 1-0 win over Middlesbrough and substitute Kazenga LuaLua made them pay with a powerfully delivered free-kick with six minutes left.
Former Liverpool defender Hyypia said: "Of course I am grateful to them for letting Joao come to us and get the games he needs, but it works both ways.
"They can benefit too because his time with us can hopefully be a stepping stone towards Liverpool's first team.
"He is a young player and Liverpool have a very big squad. A player of his age needs to play games to improve. We have a quality player and I am very happy to have him with us."
Danny Holla, Brighton's Dutch midfielder, played his first game since leaving ADO Den Haag at the beginning of May.
Hyypia said: "He and Joao provided the quality we have maybe lacked in previous games. I was delighted with Danny's debut.
"I was very happy with the first-half performance because we showed what we could do. Then we dug in as you have to do in every game in this league and I was very pleased that we kept a clean sheet."

My Top Ten Favorite Baby Girl Names
No, I'm not pregnant. Last time I checked, anyway.
But I do love baby names! I love hearing them and associating them with the little schnookie cherubs they get matched with, and imagining those cherubs growing up with the names and thinking about all the ways their names will define them.
At various book signings over the past few years, I've seen some of the most beautiful babies with some of the most spectacular names. And in many cases, I was like Ken and Ira on City Slickers, where they're naming the perfect variety of their ice cream to go with different meals. I'd see a little Charlotte or a little Jess or a little Will and I'd just think "Yes! That's the only name she/he could possibly have."
It changes daily, but here are my (current) ten favorite names for baby girls. They're in no particular order, but I did save my absolute favorite name for the end.
Will ten of you please have a baby girl and use one of the following names, please?
Thank you.
My late grandmother's name. I love Helen because it's old fashioned and vintage, but not overly so. Helen is strong, confident, classic, and no-nonsense. It's a grown-up name that's precious for a baby girl. I adore it.
Simple, old fashioned, lovely. My husband's grandmother is Edna Mae. My best friend Hy's late mother was Mae. This name is charmingly vintage, calmly confident, and goes great with a long middle name like Alexandra or Elizabeth.
I have one of these, so I'm a little biased. But to me, there's hardly a name that so perfectly conveys the combination of feminine and fun, strong and sweet, approachable and…academic? I don't know. I just love it. I was in ballet with a Paige all through my teenage years and she sealed the deal for me. I loved her. And it was one of the very, very few girl names Marlboro Man and I both really liked.
It's hard for me to decide between Marie and Maria. I love the simplicity of Marie. It reminds me of the scene in When Harry Met Sally when Meg Ryan first saw Carrie Fisher in her wedding gown. ("Oh, Marie…") But…Maria. Let's face it. It's Natalie Wood's character in West Side Story and it's the Latin form of the name of the mother of Jesus. There's nothing left to be said.
I knew a female "Dru" growing up and she was talented and beautiful and kind. I slightly prefer the unisex spelling of "Drew" because then we get over into boy territory and it makes the men nervous. Whee!
I don't know if it's the 1897 French play, the 1990 movie knockoff with Steve Martin, or the Police song (Raaaaaaaaaaah-xanne) but I think Roxanne is a power name. It's sexy without being too…sexy (Sting's song lyrics to the contrary) and ultra feminine without being…princessy. It's a CEO's name, in my opinion.
Bring back Susan! I saw a baby recently whose name was Susan. Not Susanna, not Suzie, not Suzette. Just Susan. And I loved it. It's one of those names that might be in danger of being relegated to a certain era of American history (women, say, born between 1950 and 1975) but I think it needs a comeback.
I've loved every Georgia I've ever known, and it's one of the very few "geographical location names" that I really, really love—and one I think will stand the test of time. See: This Georgia. See also: This Georgia.
My dad's middle name is Dale, and I've always loved it as a possible girl name. It's short, succinct, somewhat unisex and strong…but with a hint of vintage. And a hint of Dale Evans.
Hands down my current favorite baby name. It's progressive and strong, confident and creative. It translates to "The Holy." Geez. What a motivator!
Honorable Mentions
Millie (Thoroughly modern)
Phillipa (I blame inception)
Flannery (I like southern writers)
Lela (My godmother's name)
Anna (Another power name)
Elaine (The Graduate sealed the deal for me)
Adeline (But I wouldn't shorten it. All Adeline, all the time.)
Carolina (Pronounced "Care-oh-lee-na")
Juliet ("…be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet.")
Sarah (One of the best biblical names there is.)
Gabriella (Yes, I wish I was Italian.)
Lula Belle (I can't help it. My late great-aunt's name. She was a force.)
I'll stop now.
Feel free to share your faves, too! We'll all have imaginary baby girls together.
Avoiding work,
Pioneer Woman
P.S. I'll post my list of boy names next.

My three granddaughters are Paisley, Lairmey and Conlea!
Tammi On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:50 am
I forgot their middle names: Paisley Marie (she has her Mom's middle name), Lairmey Brook (she has her aunt's middle name) and Conlea Quinn (pronounced Con-lee, has her dad's middle name). My daughter's are Candace Sheree and Brooklynn Leann. Brooklynn has my middle name along with my sisters and sister in law's middle names: Lea, Ann, and Lynn.
Shana On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:31 am
Ally ~ my oldest (Allison after her two grandmothers Allison and Alice)
Avery ~ my youngest. I just love her name!
Finley ~ my current favorite! It was grandpas name and I think it would be adorable for a little girl. I'd call her Finn.
Brook ~ my youngests middle name. Simple, beautiful and earthy.
My husband loved the name Temperence (as in the show bones). He really pushed for that one! While I like it, our last name is also three syllables and starts with a T, so I nixed it immediately. Tempe would be very cute though! Just needs a boring and short last name.
Tracy On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:31 am
I have a Gabriella and I can honestly say no other name would have fit her. She is Gabby, Gabriella, Gabs and all other versions on the name rolled into one perfect little girl!
Sally On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:31 am
Never gotten tired of my beautiful daughter's beautiful name. Aimee (spelled like my great Aunt) Angeline (my Grandmother's middle name). BTW her first name was May which is my middle name. It all just goes round in circles.
Jess On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:31 am
My daughter's name is Merrian. We took my great-grandmother's name, Marion and changed it a little so we could call her Merry. (I love the name Merry but since our last name is Sanna, it would be a tad too Christmassy for my taste.) Also, all of my kids are named for literary characters, so this way we could get in Merry from Lord of the Rings, too.
Other than that, I LOVE the name Matilda, but my husband nixed that one. Like, seriously nixed it. I say bring it back, though. It's such a cute name. Maybe I'll start a movement to bring it back? So anyone who is pregnant and reading this, make Matilda popular again!
Kathryn On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:31 am
My daughter's name is Lucia Mae and we call her Lucy. I'm in love with her name. We almost named her Amelia and called her Millie, which is very cute as well. I also love Charlotte and hope to name a daughter that one day. Oh, and Hazel is one of my faves but my husband has vetoed it. I also love Clara, Mercy, Emily and Abigail.
Corrine On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:31 am
Savannah (my daughter)
I wish I had triplet girls.
Samantha On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:31 am
My girls are Reagan and Adelaide. But also on our list was Willow, Jubilee, Truly, Grace, Millie and a few more.
Amy On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:31 am
My favorite girl name is still Isabella. It's my daughter's name and it fits her perfectly. We call her Izzy most of the time but they both are her to a "T".
Susan On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:32 am
Well, that's a first. An actual Susan fan.
Susan (est. 1972)
: )

I'm in the Susans of 1972 club too!
Shelby H On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:32 am
My husband and I are trying to have a baby and if we were to have a girl I love the name Amelia Marie. Marie is my grandma's middle name. I also love the name Winnie because it's my grandma's first name and the nickname Millie for Amelia.
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:32 am
When I was a teenager I was pretty set on Morgan Arianne but then everyone incessant need to abbreviate would stick her with "Morg" and that isn't cute. Since the Mr and I aren't going the kid route, I haven't given it much thought since! I do like more classic names though.
Sherry D On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:47 am
I have a granddaughter named Morgan, we call her Mo or Mosie for short.
Amyam On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:32 am
We named our daughter born this past January, Kuen, pronounced the traditional way, "Quinn" after her late grandfather. My dad's middle name was Kuen and we thought it suited her well and was a great way to remember him. It sounds strong yet gentle at the same time. Great unisex name.
Sara On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:32 am
I love the name Claudia but couldn't get my husband on board for that one. My oldest daughter is Meredith…means "keeper of the sea" and I love that!
As for PW's list…I like all of these! Paige makes a wonderful middle name too…it goes with almost everything!
Kathy D On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:32 am
Newest granddaughter – Stella Ray
Heather L. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
I love different names, Piper Bella and Willow Eve are my favorites being they are my kiddos names!!
Carolyn On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
2 daughters: Theresa Sue, Beth Anne; 5 granddaughters: Carrie Grace, Christa Sue, Cassidi Anne, Hannah Marie, & Rachel Kathryn
Laura On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
We're 8 months pregnant (say a prayer that it's starting to cool in NC) and our little girl's name is going to be Mary Margaret. We do have some of the names PW named in the family
Lena Mae,
Juanita (just kidding, she didn't mention that one)
Lois On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
It's my baby girl's birthday. She's seventeen years old today, and although her name is Jennica Marie (named for her great-great-great grandmother Jenneke and lots of Marys and Margies and Maries in our family) her friends call her Nick. That really suits her personality!
Heidi On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
Hi Ree,
I have four "place names for my first four children…all girls." They are my favorites! My oldest is Dakota. Then Aspen…Then Georgia Skye…and little Havana Faith. We had a boy for our fifth and broke the trend. He is just MACK! LOVE!
Jennifer W. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
I have a Phoebe Rose. I LOVE my baby girl's name!
MsDesignGeek On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
Paige is a recurring name in my family. It's my middle name, my great-grandmother's maiden name, and I have 4 cousins that have Paige in their name. We're kind of fans of the name, I guess.
Judy Davis On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
I love Liza (well it is what I named my daughter 31 years ago). Now I'm partial to Delaney, Clarey, Hollyn, Kenzie and Campbell (my grandaughter's names.)
Pam K. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
My all time favorite girl's name is Emily. With all three of my pregnancies, there was never another name choice for a girl. We chose not to find out the sex with our babies and after two precious boys, we had a girl…sweet Emily.
Melanie On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
My daughter's name is Zayda. She is sweet and spunky and the name fits her well. I went through 5 name books before this name seemed perfect <3
Katie B. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
I definitely go for the "old-fashioned" (though I prefer to call them timeless, classic, and elegant) names, particularly for girls. Penelope, Lucy, Meredith, Claudia, Audrey (my daughter), Laura, Rebecca, Emma, Annabelle, Clementine…
Sheila On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:33 am
I love old school names. Noreen, Marilyn, Margaret, Helena, Ida, Cecelia ( I have one of these). I definitely love biblical names for boys! I've got a Noah and a Luke ; D can't wait to hear your faves!
PS this is one of my favorite topics of conversation ever since I was a little girl I could talk about names for hours. that and dessert choices of course!
Jess On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:34 am
Ya know what? No. I don't think Jerusalem is at all an appropriate name for a person. I firmly believe that a person should really only be named after a place if 1) they were conceived there or 2) the family has a truly strong actual connection to the place (and yes, have been there). Also, "the holy"? Please, no. I'm not even Christian, Jewish, or Muslim, and I just think naming a child Jerusalem is incredibly arrogant.
Also, Romeo + Juliet was not a happy story, I don't know why you or anyone would name your child specifically for that.
Also, I don't think you can get more "vintage" than Helen. Like, ya know, Helen of Troy. A character who is literally thousands of years old.
Lindie On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:34 am
My sister's favorite name was Mariah and she wanted to name her daughter that. But, she had a Michael. When I told her I wanted to use Mariah, she said I couldn't because she still wanted to use it. So no one used it!
Rebecca On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:34 am
My favorite girl name has always been Alexa–named after a character in my favorite book "September" by Rosamunde Pilcher. My "back-up" girl name was Riley, because that was the last name of several of my dear Irish friends. I was surprised to find that after telling a few friends about my favorite girl names, they snagged my choices from me and named their daughters the exact same names but didn't attach any kind of meaning to the names. Who names their babies a name but doesn't have any emotional tie to the name. I just don't get it…
Amanda On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:34 am
Eva Reese
Ellis Kate (my girls)
Ellen (My grandmother's middle name)
Carolina, etc., etc.,
Melanie On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:34 am
My 2 girls are named Pressley & Channing.
Susan On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:34 am
As a 1950's Susan, I was glad to see my name made your list. I was named for Susan Hayward, my mom's favorite actress. And yes, I am a redhead.
In 6th grade there were 3 Susans in the same class- the teacher just called us Susie 1, 2 or 3. He was a terrific teacher, but I am most definitely not a Susie- no offense to all the lovely Susies out there, I just don't see myself as a Susie.
Kelley On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:34 am
I have a Lilly and have always said if she had a sister, I'd name her Daisy so I'd have two flowers. Or Lucy. Or Ella (which I almost named her little brother had he been a girl). Elizabeth is a long-time favorite. And Kate. Which my brother stole for his baby girl.
pamelaz00 On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:35 am
Eileen, Elizabeth, Sheyenne, Cooper, Adeline, Brenley, Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backwards), and Glorian are a few of my faves at this point in time….my faves change all the time! LOL!!!
Vee On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:35 am
We named our daughter Robin Elizabeth. LOVE the name Robin – classic, calm, beautiful, and there aren't a lot of children with that name anymore. And Elizabeth because it's my sister's name and my best friend's middle name.
Michelle H. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:35 am
A League of Their Own killed my liking of the name Mae. All I can hear boys say is All The Way Mae, and mean it in a non-baseball way.
My favorite girl names are Hannah and Lilly.
Janice B On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:35 am
Dominique Claire would be my hands down favourite.
shayne On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:35 am
My great-grandmother's name was Eula Comfort Rich.
I just love that. She named her daughters Lucille, Stella and Goldie…Goldie being my grandmother.
I just love all of those names.
I also love Phoebe, Angie, Shayne (which is my name) and Isabel. Viola and Eunice also have my great affection, as do Peace and Plenty (my two favorite aunts from Louisa May Alcott's "Eight Cousins").
Hilary On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:35 am
I have 3 little girls so I am partial to their names. Molly Jo, Ellie Grace and Brynlee Claire!
Dawn Mather On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:35 am
I'm partial to my daughter's name, Cadynce.
Leslie G On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:35 am
My grandma was a Georgia! I always loved that name!
Pam On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
my middle name is maria. back in high school, when we got the little name cards that go into your high school announcements, they put MARIE. i had to show them it clearly said MARIA, but i guess that's what happens when almost every girl in your graduating class had the middle name of MARIE. but then, one of my oldest daughter's two middle names is MARIE lol i also like julian for a boys name. that's what i was going to name my son, but i let my dad and brother talk me out of it. so i'm partial to brenden (my son's name). it's amazing how most people can't pronounce it even his own father, who he hasn't seen in lots of years, calls him brandon lol i really like my girls names, too, but i don't mention them online…i just refer to them as mini-me and miss la-di-da-di
Megan Allen On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
My first girl WILL be named Madelynn Page (no 'i') – hope my eventual husband won't care! My mom's maiden name is Page and it was almost my name, so I figured I'll carry it on!
Amie On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
My girls are Hannah Elizabeth, Katherine Rose and Connor Louise. My youngest gets a hard time for having a boys name, but I really think she likes the novelty of it. And when I first read that PW was going to list favorite baby names, I didn't think I was interested, but I have loved reading all of these!
Jiff On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
My daughter's name is Mackenzie (daughter of the wise-ruler) Drew (strong, courageous) & I think it's the perfect girl name. I loved that Drew is on your list!
Ginny On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
My favorite names are family names passed down. I like my name…Virginia (after my father's mother, and my nick-name is Ginny); Alice (which was my great grandmother's, grandmother's and my mother's name); Hillary (which was my grandfather's middle name, and also my firstborn daughter's name). Kathryn, after my aunt and also my second daughter's name…we call her Kat! Charlotte is my cousin's name which I love, and think sounds so southern. I love Rebecca and the nick-name Becca. I also like the name Louise and call her Lise, and the name Isa. I'm like you though, it changes all the time. I do not like the name "Apple." Sorry!
patty On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
Having SIX daughters, we got good at picking out girl names. my favs are Hannah Marie, Rachel Pauline, Audrey Anne, Elisabeth Joy, Mariah Michael, Sally-Anne.
And we're already starting off with Grand daughters…Madelyn Grace!!
If I had another daughter to name I would pick just simply Julie
kelly On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
My husband and I were just talking about baby names! My middle name is Paige and I always felt so fancy when family would call me by my first and middle name–Kelly Paige. I think if we ever have a baby girl we'll use Caroline Paige (my mom's name is Carol and I like the idea of using family names)…it just sounds so pretty to me. Thanks for the fun topic on this dreary day!
Tina On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
My grandmother was named Helen, too! So when my granddaughter was born, my daughter wanted to honor her great-grandmother and named her Helayna. We call her Layna for short. Also, all of us girls have my grandmother's middle name "June".
KC On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
My daughter's name is Dale! So pleased to see it on your list! She's named after my dad and I have my dad's name for my middle name and I wanted to keep the name going for a 3rd generation. I've always loved that name for a girl and it suits her so well (says the non-biased mom).
Diloy On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:36 am
I'm am still very partial to our daughter's name, Briana Elise!
Shannon A. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:37 am
I like Macy, Aubrey, and how about Paisley.
Bonnie S On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:37 am
I LOOOOVVVE the name Esther. So Classic! It is hardly ever heard of anymore. It means "Star" Esther was a queen who was the strong heroine for the Jews. Though I am not Jewish, I find this name so beautiful for who it represented. Such a strong and beautiful name.
Jamie A On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:37 am
My daughter is Elaine and we call her Lainie. My next girl will be Julianne Grace or Grace Ronley (Ronley after my parents Ron/Lisa).
sr On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:37 am
I have loved Claire ever since Milton Bradleycame out with the board game Guess Who. She had glasses, a hat, earrings, and red hair. I loved her and swore I'd name a little girl Claire one day.
Heather S. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:37 am
Well, I won't be having anymore babies, BUT we did name our dog "Georgia". Love your list!!
Kim S. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:37 am
If I ever have any more girls, one will be named Maria! My two girls are Gwen and Amelia. Love those names! I also love Charlotte, but my husband does not. And Lucy.
Mary On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:37 am
I got to name my sister and I used my grandmother's middle name. I named her Linda Lucritia for my grandmother Lydia Lucritia. Although my brothers would call her Linda Lou.
Heather On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:37 am
I love Irish names so I have a Brenna and a Riley. Riley is a boy but he would have been Riley either way. More importantly are middle names in our family. All my kids middle names are after loved ones and have some other signifigance. Brenna's middle name is Amy Joy. Amy for my sister and also my best friend and Joy after my MIL. All save my boys middle names for tomorrow.
Debbie On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:38 am
My daughter just had her 4th baby (all girls) 6 days ago, Livia Beckett, my maiden name is Beckett, pulling on my heartstrings right now!
Abi On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:38 am
My baby girl is due on the 29th. Probably get induced this week due to gestational diabetes. Her name will be Sydney. :). Middle name will be Sacha after my sister who passed away last year (at age 32).
Abbey E. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:38 am
My daughter's name is McKennah Leigh…I was looking for a Scottish name or one that sounded Scottish to honor my family roots but I wasn't sure about this one until my husband put the "h" on the end…that did it for me! Her middle name is for her aunt, my husband's sister.
I also liked Clare and Margaret (my Scottish maternal grandmother) and Mae (my paternal grandmother's middle name that I have always loved). Josephine and Hazel (because those belonged to my great grandmother) were also in my top ten.
Claire On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:38 am
Tatianna – love it
Lindsay Blackwelder On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:38 am
I have a 7 year old daughter named Olivia Catherine. Her middle name is after my mother. I also have a 5 year old son named Drew Winston. His middle name is after my grandfather. And I am now pregnant with another baby girl, and her name is Tatum Georgia. Tatum is my middle name, and Georgia is the name of the amazing woman who was my nanny when I was a little girl. I loved her then and love her still, and I wanted to honor her with a namesake. I love for children to have a name that means something
Danielle On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:38 am
Danika (like Danica Patrick) is my beloved daughter's name. I love it and it suits her perfectly!
I've always loved Delilah as well. My great grandmother was Eula Delilah and she was fantastic!
I'm also fond of Adeline and Adele. I like different, but not off the wall names.
sues2u2 On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:39 am
The first girl's name we picked out was Katharine after Kate Hepburn but since "she" was actually a "he" (Nikolas) we ended up not using it. Next time around the only name we actually agreed on was Hannah. But, the first time our son met his new sister (he was 5) the first words he said were, "she looks like a beautiful flower girl". And so her name became "Hanae" (same pronunciation) which means beautiful flower in Japanese.
I love her middle name too, which is Emilee.
Carrie On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:39 am
Claire Ellen! Because I have one. The heroine in my favorite books EVAH is Claire and Ellen is a family name.
I can't wait to see the lost of boy names!
Kim On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:40 am
OH! Oh! Ooooo…please, because you're pretty and because you love us….please make a list of BOY names. I am due in 10 weeks and still haven't come up with ANYthing.
CP On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:40 am
The girls in my family are Cadance Joy, Hannah Avery, Jaelle Violet, Addelynn Ruby, and Jubilee Shira so I'm partial to those!
Paige from Ohio On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:40 am
Nice names Ree. I do like the third one BEST!! Ha Ha
Hope all are well………..
Lisa Jane On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:40 am
My daughter is Maris (rhymes with Paris) Hannah (with the short 'a' sound)
I also really like Esmé and Elodie.
Katie of Cabbage Ranch On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:40 am
We named our (now 2 year old) daughter Helen after my grandmother, although she usually goes by her nickname Beep. I love the name Helen more each day because it's so classic and very unusual for her generation. It's nice to see you love it, too!
Michaela U. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:40 am
Our unborn daughter's name is going to be Ella. It is much more modern, but I find it as being beautiful. Her middle name will be Rochelle. Yay!
Nikki Edwards On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:41 am
I have an Emma Nichole and if the Lord sees to it I'll have my Ella Taylor. Both extremely popular, thanks to Friends, but also both of my grandmothers names. My list of names is extensive – I love names. Especially old names and family names. For boys I like Hudson and Jackson.
Valerie On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:41 am
My favorite name is my daughters name. It's Amalia and it means "work of the Lord" in hebrew. She was adopted and had a rough beginning but the Lord has definitely done a work on her in her in the two years she's been alive. My other favorite is Ambrielle but it's also a bra brand so I'm a little torn about this one. Lol!
FLWendy On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:41 am
Hmm.. I *do* like Paige and Helen. A few of the others are a bit progressive for my taste. My girls have *very* old fashioned names. Emma Catherine (long before Friends made it popular, she's almost 20), Madeleine Elizabeth and Audrey Faith. I'm curious to see what names will be popular when my daughters (and son Wyatt Nathaniel) have their children. Thanks for the post, Ree. I'm enjoying reading through all of the names.
Krista Hilton On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:41 am
I have a hard time with girls names. I love Fallon, but could never do that (Fallon Hilton, it is just to much). Olivia Louise Hilton, is one of my faves (my husband hates it). My middle name is Fay, which I may be partial, but I think is a beautiful name..
I prefer boys names, and even at that I am a traditionalist. Christopher, Patrick, James, etc. I like the different names, but since my husband and I both had "different" names I think I get stuck in a name rut.
**NOTE** We don't have children, but I have a hint of the baby fever so I am thinking of this on an almost constant basis.
Lorna On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:41 am
I'll put in a vote for me! Lorna is a good name
Cathie On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:42 am
I also love names and wonder what my granchildren (girls,hopefully) will be called. Great list and I have a Sarah and an Anna.
Ashlee P. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:42 am
My name being so common I picked unique names for my girls. Ethne, from the movie The Four Feathers. Such a beautiful and confident name. My second daughter is Abijah, we meant to call her Abbi, but she spent time in the NICU and needed every bit if her strong and fun name. It's wild and cute, just like her. My youngest and surprise daughter is Charlee shortened from Charlotte. My husband chose it. I would have named her Wilder. Isn't that fantastic?! I also have a son, Sol. Short for Solomon.
Laurie Shepherd On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:42 am
my girls are carson rachel and charlotte kathryn
both straight off the family tree
Pam On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:51 am
I have a Charlotte and her middle name was ALMOST Kathryn (after my mom) but we ended up with a Charlotte Frances because we honeymooned in France and we found out we were pregnant right after our honeymoon.
Cindy K On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:42 am
Yasmine (Yaz-mean as my husband from Lebanon says it)
Jasmine (like the rice)
Shannon On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:42 am
I have three daughters and one son. My girls are Liberty Grace, Bella Jane, and Vivi Claire. If the fourth had been a girl, the name I had picked out was Zuri.
flyoverhere On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:42 am
I love our beautiful granddaughters' beautiful names! Zane Ashley (age 3), Skylar Lane (age 2) and Elizabeth Renee' (age 27)
Kaydee On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:42 am
My daughter is Eva Rose and I love it! We only have the one girl but we also liked Lilly. My name and my sister's names are good ones too: Kaydee and Maris.
Jill R. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
I just gave birth five weeks ago and wanted to give my daughter an "older" name, something with history, yet something that could be viewed as modern and unique…We chose Millicent with a nickname being Millie………..
Ali On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
Meeghan (pronounced Mee-gan) Lillian – love it.
Viviana On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
When I was pregnant and didn't know what we were having I liked Sarina Lucia. Sarina means "little rose" in Sicilian and that is what they called my mom as a child. Her name is Rosaria.
Ended up having a boy. Benjamin Michael
Victoria On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
I have a little Anna Pearl… I am so happy I got to use my favorite girl name when she was born! Love everything you do, Pioneer Woman.
Bridget On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
My daughter's middle name is Mae, after my late mom, Susan Mae, and my favoritest of my gazillion great-aunts, Anna Mae. She's 3 and good at it, so I use her full name often – Leah Mae.
My next is due any day now, and while we're keeping the name a secret until she arrives, it is one of the ones on your list. We like to pick names that are somewhere between off the wall and popular, so if she has 5 other girls in her class in school with the same name, I'll know who to thank.
Kim H. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
My youngest is Joy Elizabeth. I adore her name. Big sisters are Johannah and Jordann. Johannah prefers to be called JoJo. I like all my kids names, but I've yet to meet another little girl who's first name is Joy.
Marisa B On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
Sort of out there, but I love Catalaya (Cat-ah-lay-ah).
Susan On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
I'm a Susan and during the 50's there were at least 2-4 other Susans in all my classes. We all felt we lacked an individual identity because of it. I remember one teacher telling the four of us Susans to each take a corner seat in the class on the first day of school! Maybe it's why I acted out as a teen!
I named my daughter Erin Paige..I love the name combo, but she had been a challange. "Erin" is a party looking for a place to happen and she's the happiest, friendliest person I know. Thank goodness I'm a Susan and was able to contain some of that party energy! She's a delightful young woman now and I'm so proud of her accomplishments and ability to still make the mundane seem like a party!
Angela W. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:43 am
I always loved the name Lilly. So when we had our daughter we named her Lilly Anne. My husband wasn't thrilled the way I spelled her name with 2 L's instead on 1 (Lily) and that I put an E at the end of Anne…but I just love the name and love saying it. The Anne came from my grandmother, Roberta Anne
Susan E. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:44 am
I'm a Susan and always found my name to be boring and not fitting of my personality. I named my girls Simone Michaela and Colleen Renee. I think they fit my children well and I am very happy with their names, I think they like them too!
Jessica On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:44 am
I'm a fan of "old-fashioned" names as well. Our first is Olivia Jean (the Jean comes from my grandmother and the hubby's mom). Our next (I'm 6 months along) is going to be Evelyn Ruth.
Sherry D On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:44 am
My oldest grandddaughter is Maja Grace (pronounced Maya). I found the name while researching our Norwegian ancestry and my daughter and her husband loved it.
Laura M On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:44 am
My favorite names are my daughters' names.
Annaliese Elizabeth
Aubrianna Claire
Other top favorites…
Ainsley Danae
Hadley Joy
I love traditional names too, like Sarah, Grace, Emily….
I always loved the name Isabeau, but no one else in the family even liked it so it never stood a chance.
Jessica B. On Tuesday, August 21 at 10:44 am
Also avoiding work. We've been doing the baby naming thing over the last 7 years, so far we have Autumn Lynn (she was supposed to be either an Aidan or an Amber, but Autumn just seemed to suit her so much better after we seen her…Lynn after myself :)), Alivia Marie (our wild child. I love that you can hear the word "alive" in her name, marie after my mother), Annabelle Kay (Annabelle after my great grandmother, Kay after my mother in law), Janson David (our only boy! Janson is after my father in law Jan, David after my dad) and we're currently pregnant with our 4th girl (and last child). I love the names Allegra, Aliza, and Aletta. I'm leaning towards Aletta Lucille, Aletta after hy hubby's grandma Galetta and Lucille after my grandmother…but we'll see what she looks like when we see her for the first time!

1 - 4 pm
Engage the nature of conflict by meeting differences with wisdom, compassion and skill.
How often have you wished you could take back angry words? Or hoped you could find the courage to address conflict with someone? Disagreement is too often avoided or spins out of control. Either way, feelings are usually hurt, and relationships harmed—sometimes irreparably.
Discover a new view and experience of conflict—that it can be transformative and lead to closer relationships.
We will begin by looking at the causes of conflict and continue by looking at our own views and reactions, experimenting with how mindfulness can begin shifting conflict to understanding. Then we will look at how conflict arises when our views and experience collide with those of a partner, friend or colleague.
Practical tools, including perception and the words we use, will be offered to navigate tricky and charged interactions. A packet will guide you through the workshop and provide help with putting what you learn into practice right away.

Video:Alternative Infertility Treatmentswith Dr. Ingrid Rodi
Alternative infertility treatments are often more holistic, therapeutic, and calming than traditional medicine. Get a quick overview of some popular alternative infertility treatments in this video from About.com.See Transcript
Transcript:Alternative Infertility Treatments
Hi, I'm Dr. Ingrid Rodi and I am a specialist in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility with RodiMD.com. Today I am talking to you on behalf of About.com about alternative infertility treatments.
Eastern Alternative Infertility Treatments
Nobody thinks that they are going to have trouble getting pregnant. For many people it is upsetting and stressful to have to be treated for infertility. To add insult to injury, stress can make it more difficult to get pregnant. There are a number of treatments that can be done alongside traditional Western medicine. Some of these are:
Acupuncture: The person performing the acupuncture should be licensed to do it. Acupuncture has been practiced in China for thousands of years for many indications. The acupuncturist treating a fertility patient should be aware of the special issues fertility patients are dealing with. In addition to the physical benefits, many patients report a reduction in stress.
Chinese herbs: These are often prescribed by doctors of Chinese Medicine, often in conjunction with acupuncture.
Therapuetic Alternative Infertility Treatments
Homeopathy: Commonly used in Europe and is finding greater acceptance in the US as well. One of the great advantage to these medications is there are no side effects or toxicity.
Psychotherapy: Dealing with infertility is very stressful. Many individuals and couples find it helpful to see a therapist during the process. Therapists can help fertility patients in many ways.
- Cognitive restructuring: Reducing stress by turning automatic negative thoughts into more positive, realistic ones.
- Instructing patients in relaxation techniques such as breath focus, body scan, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, mindfulness and guided imagery.
- Emotional expression: Writing about a stressful event, 30 minutes a day for 4 days.
- Self nurturance: When a patient wakes up in the morning, she should spend 15 minutes thinking of one nice thing she can do for herself that day.
Support groups: Infertility is a very isolating experience. Many individuals and couples find it very helpful to be part of a group of people who are experiencing the same problems. Advocacy groups like Resolve often organize these kinds of groups.

4 FM quick reads on energy efficiency
1. Focus on Energy Efficiency: Sub-Metering Strategies
This is Chris Matt, Managing Editor - Print & E-Media with Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's tip is using sub-metering to manage energy use.
The first step in sifting through sub-metering technology is to identify the organization's essential energy-management needs and determine the way the facility can address these needs with a data-collection system.
The type of energy information many facilities require often is beyond the capability of one master utility meter. Sub-metering systems, combined with useable and comprehensive data-collection systems, can give managers much more detailed load profiling. Managers can use the collected data to:
• understand energy-use patterns and trends
• implement demand response and control to avoid costly ratchet and peak utility charges
• profile an entire facility for demand-management and load-shedding measures
• locate true spare capacity within the electrical system.
In its simplest form, sub-metering involves installing separate meters downstream of the primary billing meter. These meters monitor specific points in the system. In campus settings, for example, sub-meters might be set up on a building-by-building basis to allocate energy costs among departments. In single buildings, managers can group specific system circuits and monitor the distribution system to minimize the number of sub-meters.
Some sub-meters can transfer data, while others also can record and store interval data. Other intelligent-breaker technologies allow system operators to control individual circuits in a distribution system separately, as well as monitor the system's data separately.
At a minimum, managers should install sub-meters on lighting, HVAC, alternative-energy systems, and other key pieces of equipment, which will produce the most valuable trending data. Managers can reconfigure and display this data to the building occupants and visitors with a energy dashboard that presents the information in a way they understand.
Lighting Retrofits: Look Closely at Controls
This is Chris Matt, Managing Editor – Print & E-Media with Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's tip is the energy-savings potential of lighting controls.
Most managers considering lighting retrofits consider only the lighting equipment when, in fact, some of the greatest potential for energy savings comes from controls. At the most basic level, occupancy sensors can save 15-30 percent of a space's lighting energy use if the space has intermittent use throughout the day.
Occupancy sensors can be simple replacements for wall switches, and wireless versions are available that eliminate the need for an electrician to rewire the space. In rooms with daylight, photocells that automatically dim the lights in conjunction with daylight can save an additional 30-50 percent of energy use. By making the leap from devices to systems, managers can tie lighting controls to room schedules, give users individual control of the fixtures in their immediate area, shed load to avoid peak-demand charges from the utility, and set a high-end trim if light levels are higher than needed.
To analyze the opportunities a retrofit presents to an organization, managers will need to plan in advance. A lighting designer can guide managers through the many available options and prioritize the highest-yield returns. A salesperson associated with a manufacturer or distributor primarily is interested in selling their products, so managers need to be aware they will slant their sales pitches to achieve that goal. By comparison, an independent lighting designer who is knowledgeable about current technologies is more likely to look at all potential options.
The designer will learn about the organization and its operations to understand the level of feasible change. They do not have a financial interest in the final equipment selected, so they can make recommendations with the organization's best interest in mind.
Chiller System Design Can Improve Data Center Energy Efficiency
Today's tip: Pay attention to chiller system design to improve data center energy efficiency.
The early data center design phase is the time to address chiller system configurations, pumping system topologies, chilled water loop supply temperatures and selection of energy efficient equipment.
Today's chillers can be selected for far lower kW/ton electrical use than in the past. Equipping the chiller with a VFD and condenser water reset is usually the most efficient option, because the VFD will adjust the chiller performance as the compressor load and condenser water supply temperature vary. Newer, highly efficient cooling towers with drift eliminators can be selected to reduce water use by as much as 40 to 50 percent.
Chiller systems for data centers have historically been oversized, resulting in less efficient operation until the data center is completely populated and full design loads are realized. Chillers are designed to operate at a specific difference between supply and return temperature or "delta-T." An efficient and properly-designed system will allow the chillers to operate closer to the design delta-T over the entire range of expected load conditions. A number of design strategies can contribute to achieving this goal, including pumping system configuration and reducing system bypasses.
Variable, primary-only pumping eliminates unnecessary chilled water bypass and allows the chiller to operate nearer to its optimized delta-T both during full- and part-load conditions. A traditional chiller design, in which a constant flow through the chiller is maintained, results in the delta-T staying proportional to the load. In a variable primary-only flow pumping system, the flow tends to stay proportional to the load while the delta-T stays closer to the optimized condition for the selected chiller. Also, a variable primary system requires fewer chilled water pumps (which lowers first cost), has fewer single points of failure (which makes it more reliable) and simplifies the chiller plant installation and controls.
Project Management: Successful Lighting Retrofits
I'm Dan Hounsell, editor of Maintenance Solutions magazine. Today's topic is, lighting system retrofits.
Commercial and institutional facilities measure the success of building retrofits in many ways, including cost savings, reduced energy use, and improved productivity of those responsible for maintaining the new technology. But one important indicator that is difficult to quantify is the level of interest from peers outside the organization. A prime example of this dynamic is taking place at the University of California, Davis, where lighting retrofits are garnering a great deal of attention.
"It's been an interesting ride so far," says Chris Cioni, the university's associate director of utilities. "We've had a lot of inquiries from folks in the field who have found out about the projects just by searching on the Internet."
The university's Smart Lighting Initiative has turned the campus into something of a lighting laboratory, thanks in large part to the university's relationship with the California Lighting Technology Center, or CLTC, a demonstration and education facility on campus that develops energy-efficient technologies. Cioni uses CLTC staff as a sounding board when considering cutting-edge lighting technology for retrofit projects.
Cioni, his team, and the CLTC joined forces in retrofitting fixtures in campus parking structures and surface lots. Their next set of projects will focus on pathways, roads, and fixtures on building exteriors. The opportunities for savings are great, considering the number of exterior fixtures on campus — 2,300 fixtures in parking structures and surface lots, as well as 700 fixtures on roads, 1,300 on pedestrian and bicycle paths, and 3,000 on building exteriors.
The Smart Lighting Initiative does include interior lighting, but Cioni concentrates solely on exterior fixtures. The university spent almost $1 million retrofitting fixtures in its surface lots and parking structures, which generated about $300,000 in utility rebates. The projects have resulted in additional benefits, including energy savings, reduced maintenance, and improved safety.
"The energy savings were the first target," Cioni says. "What drove me was having those very large and prominent parking lots right near a very visible part of campus. We have a big performing arts center, and it's kind of a focal point. Seeing these empty parking lots when I would drive in early in the morning when it was still dark, it just caught me as wasteful and a real opportunity to do something different."

By MJ Kneiser, WLHR Radio, Lavonia
Students at Hartwell Elementary School have the day off due to some unusual circumstances.
According to school officials, bats are nesting in a corner crawl space at one end of the school building.
Hart County Assistant School Superintendent Kathy Leard said school officials met with concerned parents students to re-assure them and explain the removal process.
"We had a meeting Tuesday night and talked to many concerned parents and that went well," Leard said Wednesday afternoon. "But then we concluded that in order for our exclusion of bats to continue and to expedite that process and do any cleaning that needs to be done, it would be better if students and staff were out of the way, so school will be closed Thursday and Friday."
Leard said the school is working with the Hart County Health Department's Environmental Health Division, who recommended a bat removal service.
This time, Leard said the wildlife removal company is working to make sure the bats are gone for good by putting up screens and filling in all areas where the bats have been getting in.
According to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, a bat infestation can be a health hazard.
Not only do bats carry the rabies virus, but their excrement can cause a lung disease called histoplasmosis.
District II Public Health spokesman Dave Palmer said however, students at Hartwell Elementary were in little danger of contracting any sort of illness from the bat infestation.
"Most of the time, when it's in a building, unless it's been there for a long time where the fungus can actually grow from the bat guano, it's not as much of a threat," Palmer said. "So at this time, we don't think it's a threat and it's being taken care of pretty promptly."
This is not the first time bats have infested the Hartwell Elementary School building, according to Hart County School Superintendent Jerry Bell who said he's had to remove bats there on three other occasions.

Public Service Initiatives shares Career Center office space
Associate Director of Public Service Initiatives Jane Steckbeck gets settled into her new office space on the first floor, alongside the Center for Career Planning and Professional Development's brand new home.
Career Center moves into new space
The Knight Law Center's first floor remodel is complete and the Center for Career Planning and Professional Development has gradually been moving in throughout the winter intersession.
First-floor remodel enters final stages
The new home for the Oregon Law Career Center and law journals is almost complete. The big yellow temporary wall was removed yesterday to reveal a beautiful set of new offices and meeting spaces. All that's left now are the finishing touches.
Pardon the Dust, part III
A slideshow of images from the University of Oregon School of Law's first-floor remodel — future home to the school's Law Review Journals and Career Center!
An Update from Law Library Director Mary Ann Hyatt
The law library is remodeling to increase study space on the 3rd and 4th floors. Our goal is provide as much high density quiet study as possible using all available space.
The need to increase study space is urgent because of sustained crowding in the law library. The Law Library has experienced consistently high use over the past 3 years.
The renovations will remove 12 ranges of stacks from the 3rd floor and 9 ranges of stacks from the 4th floor. The result will increase study tables and carrels to the space. Along with adding study space, the 4th floor study areas will be reserved for law students (JD, CRES, LLM) starting today. While all library users may retrieve materials from the 4th floor stacks, non-law students will be requested to limit their studying to the 2nd and 3rd floors.
These steps are being taken in order to continue serving the entire student body while maintaining reliable study space for the law students to comply with ABA Standard 702, which requires a law library to have sufficient seating to meet the needs of the law school's students and faculty.
Law library faculty and staff appreciate the support of both the UO Libraries and the Law School. The remodel is being funded as we go with collection savings from cancellations of law serials. Please let Mary Ann Hyatt know if you have questions.
–Mary Ann

Stable version 2.2
This creates a simplistic version of the early newspaper/print halftone (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftone) dot look. It is based upon a manual method described at http://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/uggfq/help_how_to_dot_raster_an_im...
Version 1.1.1 -- updated 2012-06-20: Fixed issue running script in GIMP 2.8
A Windows binary of this plugin by Claes G Lindblad (http://www.algonet.se/~claesg/shapeit.html), ported to 2.x by Victor Ramirez. Almost a "lost and found" plugin?
It bends a text or an image according to a shape.
Create the map on a new layer. Should be black and white for best results. Add an alpha channel to both layers.
PDF version of the tutorial by Claes included.
Short description:,
The Guillotine-into-Layers plug-in is a variation on the Guillotine plug-in by Adam D. Moss. It is intended to address a shortcoming of the original: Too many windows opened! There is, however, a trade-off.
This plugin is not more maintained but still works very well On Gimp 2.6 and even 2.7
Was developed by Peter Heckert , Windows binary were provided by Michael Schumacher. but the original side is offline from years and all old links dead
i am mirroring both source code and binaries to avoid it can get lost and i repost here also in the hope that may found more users and a maintainer (as i said still works very well ,from gimp 2.0 till 2.7 a maintainer may help for the future )
This script generates rotated copies of the current layer.
It can be used to draw star-like images (see jpg below)
Save the script in your scripts folder, you will find it under Layer -> Transform -> repeat rotation.
These scripts are mainly aimed at generating L-system fractals using turtle graphics. As an added bonus, shapes (not fractals) and turtle trails too.
L-system (or shapes, or turtle trails) can be drawn using different tools, including path, and centered/scaled to image/layer/mask.
Save both scripts in your scripts folder, you will find it under Filters -> Render -> Turtle graphics.
Silicosaur PhotoFX is a collection of script-fu macros for GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) to easily simulate development methods and film types used by photographers of pre-digital age.
By using Silicosaur PhotoFX you can simulate Portra, Provia, an Velvia film characteristics and Cross Processing (aka. X-PRO) effects.
there is a pre-compiled windows version of this well know plugin but was available only from a Japanese webside.
( http://www.geocities.jp/gimproject/gimp2.0.html )
For windows user that don't read Japonize ideograms, and do not know how to compile by source i found useful
mirror here
DOWNLOAD LINKhttp://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Refocus-plugin-windows-OS...
For some reason the freetype plugin, quite useful to edit text and fonts, was removed from gimp-2.4 , and many miss it Work well with Gimp-2.4 (at least on Windows OS)
The windows users that don't know how to compile by source , may found it here http://photocomix-resources.deviantart.com/art/Lost-Found-Gimp-Freetype-...
ready to be installed
This plugin loads NASA/ESA PDS/EDR images.
PDS/EDR format is the image format used by NASA Planetary Data System
and by ESA Planetary Science Archives. PDS images from various space
missions are available at http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/ andhttp://www.rssd.esa.int/index.php?project=PSA

Death Penalty Repeal Goes To Connecticut Governor
A study by Professor John Donohue reviewing 34 years of Connecticut death penalty cases is mentioned by Peter Appleborne in this New York Times article regarding a vote by the state's House of Representatives to appeal the death penalty.
After more than nine hours of debate, the Connecticut House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to repeal the state's death penalty, following a similar vote in the State Senate last week. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, a Democrat, has said he will sign the bill, which would make Connecticut the 17th state — the 5th in five years — to abolish capital punishment for future cases.
Mr. Malloy's signature will leave New Hampshire and Pennsylvania as the only states in the Northeast that still have the death penalty. New Jersey repealed it in 2007. New York's statute was ruled unconstitutional by the state's highest court in 2004, and lawmakers have not moved to fix the law.
But Democrats in favor of the bill cited support from many families of murder victims and the fact that capital punishment has long been banned by nearly all of the world's democracies. In a review of 34 years of Connecticut death penalty cases, Prof. John Donohue of Stanford Law School concluded that "arbitrariness and discrimination are defining features of the state's capital punishment regime."

Conversion of Older Grammars
05 Oct 2012, 21:02
Steve Eckhardt (1 post)
The grammar simplifications in A4 look really good. Any chance of a section in ch 4 on how to update A3 grammars? Better yet, how about a translator that automatically updates the grammars and turns the code fragments into visitor or listener code. Or perhaps this would be better done in a blog/wiki post.
08 Oct 2012, 18:29
Terence Parr (41 posts)
Hi. I'm hoping that we can all create a conversion document as we learn from experience converting grammars. Once we know if this transformation is, we can try to automate it. The good news is that the grammars, unlike the actions, will more or less translate 1 for 1 if you remove the syntactic predicates.
