AMD launches new Beema, Mullins SoCs: Higher performance at almost-low-enough TDPs April 29, 2014 at 6:22 am
AMD is launching its new tablet and notebook chips today, codenamed Beema and Mullins. The two cores build on AMD's budget Kabini chip, adding higher clock speeds, security functions, and significantly improving TDP.
Secrets of Steamroller: Digging deep into AMD's next-gen core March 3, 2014 at 12:01 pm
AMD's Steamroller core, found in Kaveri APUs, is an interesting duck. It's the first chip to ship with HSA support, the first CPU core that can be paired with a GCN-based graphics core, and it promised significant improvements in performance-per-clock that were then largely offset by a lower clock speed. Our investigation shows that the situation isn't that simple, however — there are some areas, particularly on the APU side of the equation, where Steamroller is far better than its predecessor. This article is a low-level investigation into where the chip improved, where it fell short, and what AMD might do going forward.
AMD Kaveri A10-7850K and A8-7600 review: Was it worth the wait for the first true heterogeneous chip? January 14, 2014 at 8:00 am
Seven and a half years ago, AMD announced that it would acquire graphics chip manufacturer ATI as part of its long-term strategic vision. AMD's business case for the ATI acquisition rested on a vision of the future in which GPUs shared die space with the CPU and could be tapped as advanced co-processors within specific workloads. AMD dubbed its new plan "Fusion," and promised to ship silicon by 2011. Three more years of innovation, and we have today's Kaveri, arguably the first APU to fully deliver the vision AMD articulated back when DirectX 9 was standard and programmable GPUs had yet to hit the market.
AMD finally launches the Kaveri APU, its most important chip launch in years January 6, 2014 at 8:15 pm
AMD's first HSA core and the fulfillment of nearly a decade of work is ready for prime time and (almost) ready for review. But can Kaveri compete with Intel's best hardware? We'll find out soon.
AMD reveals Kaveri details, release date: Can the first heterogeneous APU save AMD? November 12, 2013 at 6:28 pm
AMD has announced that Kaveri, its first truly heterogeneous chip — a CPU and GPU on the same die that can communicate directly and share the same RAM — will be available on January 14,2014. The flagship part, dubbed the A10-7850K, will be clocked at 3.7GHz, feature four cores (two Steamroller modules) built on GlobalFoundries' 28nm process, and will require the new FM2+ motherboard socket. There's no word on cost, but AMD will probably price it just below a comparable Intel part.
Xbox One graphics capabilities, odd SoC architecture, and bus bandwidth confirmed by Microsoft August 27, 2013 at 11:29 am
Microsoft's Xbox One deep dive at Hot Chips has disclosed a great deal of technical information on the chip, giving us a look at some of the fundamental capabilities we've been curious about. What's the chip offer on an architectural level? We investigate.
Setting HSAIL: AMD explains the future of CPU/GPU cooperation August 26, 2013 at 10:05 am
AMD's heterogeneous system architecture (HSA) initiative has been a steady interest since the company first started talking about "Fusion" processors in 2007. Today, at the international Hot Chips computing technology conference, the company gave a talk that laid out details behind what its HSA Foundation has designed and the language that powers the technology, dubbed HSAIL (HSA Intermediate Language).
PS4 will use its unified architecture to pound Xbox One into the dust – eventually August 22, 2013 at 9:30 am
New details on the PS4 suggest that it's significantly more powerful than the Xbone in the eyes of developers — and the only console shipping with AMD's HSA support.
Intel supercharges AVX to 512 bits, will likely come to mainstream CPUs in 2015 July 24, 2013 at 6:37 am
Intel announced new extensions to AVX today — the SIMD standard is headed up to 512 bits wide in future versions of Xeon Phi, with mainstream CPU integration likely in the 2015 timeframe.
AMD Kaveri may slip into 2014, Kabini refresh codenamed 'Beema' July 16, 2013 at 2:04 pm
AMD's Kaveri is reportedly delayed into early 2014, with only a few SKUs being available in 2013. Will the change affect demand for AMD hardware?

Almost every church will see seasons of growth and decline.
But how do you get a church that seems to be coming to a stop to regain some forward momentum?
Here are a few points I have found helpful…
1 See clearly
You must see all the components that cause or have contributed to the slow down. This process of perception is vital. It will take some time, but you have to ask and record the answers to some hard questions.
-Inside trends? (Music, giving, ages, preaching, kids etc,)
-Outside trends? (Community, economic, culture change)
2 Understand fully
All churches have a variety of tools at their disposal to accomplish their vision. But few understand how well those tools are performing.
-List all the current tools your church has (Sunday adult, Sunday kids, music, outreach, mens, high school, preaching, whatever)
-Try and list two ways to definitively measure the impact each tool is contributing to the vision
-List the tool that you need but currently don't have and the tools you are using that are no longer as effective as they should be
3 Move Methodically
-Establish a written plan. The final draft should be summarized easily on one side of a piece of paper.
-Calendar the initiatives on your plan
-Communicate clearly the great opportunities available for others to join in
-Search for and celebrate the slightest win! Passion is contagious!
Is there another vital step you would include?

A few months ago, I was excited for the releases of some highly-anticipated rap albums: work by Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Eminem, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon. "Hip-hop is back!" I thought. Instead, we have mostly disappointing results, as the best of those aforementioned albums (Kid Cudi and Ghostface Killah) seem inspired by other genres (indie rock and R&B, respectively) than they do from rap. The new release from Raekwon is good, but overlong, and its bright moments are impeded by weight. Hip-hop's reigning all-star, Kanye West, hasn't released a rap album in a couple of years. Plus, following the PR firestorm he faced for dissing Taylor Swift at the VMAs, he's taking a hiatus for the rest of 2009. 50 Cent will deliver a new album in late November, but expectations have been low on him ever since he presumably decided that it made more sense to focus on product endorsements, rather than rhymes.
There hasn't been a bonafide, "critics-and-consumers... unite!" rap album since Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III last year. Wayne's album ended up the best-seller of 2008. This year, though, is unlikely to find that sort of hip-hop consensus. When a sorry excuse for an Eminem clone (mixed with frat boy) like Asher Roth is a hot newcomer, and the Black Eyed Peas are too busy selling bubblegum dance music on The Today Show, you have an indication of what a desperate state we have in hip-hop today. The less-commercial artists still thrive out of the spotlight, as usual, with Mos Def releasing his best album in years, The Clipse finally getting a third LP in stores, and The Roots hugging America every night as Jimmy Fallon's Late Night house band. Newer acts like The Knux and Wale offer a sliver of goodness to hold onto, with promising futures ahead. But, what we need right now is a hip-hop album with equal parts ingenuity and Top 40 popularity, to help remedy the national situation.
In The New Yorker, Sasha Frere-Jones contemplates many of these thoughts, especially the utter disappointment that is Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3. All the while, Frere-Jones ruminates on a fledgling rapper named Freddie Gibbs:
After years of bloated expansion and leveraging of fantasies, "gangsta rap" has largely become a meaningless term. Unvarnished reporting delivered with a panache that balanced the pain—this was gangsta rap's first achievement, not unlike the cry of mid-seventies reggae artists like Culture and Bob Marley. Somewhere along the way, the struggle to escape became a love of accumulation, and underdogs ended up sounding as smug as the authorities they once battled.
"I think rap is about to go back to the early nineties," [Freddie] Gibbs told me. "You could do whatever you wanted, and radio had to play it." Gibbs does not currently have a record deal, and he isn't looking for one.

Soundtracks may not be the music blockbusters they once were (think the nine-times-platinum Top Gun soundtrack), but in some cases, they can still pack a punch—not only in terms of sales, but also in terms of singles and other original songs. One of the few holdovers is the much-loved (particularly over at The Fab Life) Twilight Saga, and last night the first single from the Breaking Dawn: Part 1 soundtrack, Bruno Mars's "It Will Rain," hit YouTube and iTunes, following the announcement earlier in the day of the full tracklisting. His string-laden heartbreak ballad is perfectly suited for the series's melodrama
Mars isn't the only You Oughta Know alum making an appearance—Twilight Saga superfan Christina Perri contributed a song, a fact she excitedly blogged about yesterday (under the title "My Dream Came True!"). The two artists are among the notable inclusions on the tracklisting (which we've reprinted after the jump).
1. The Joy Formidable, "End Tapes"
2. Angus & Julia Stone, "Love Will Take You"
3. Bruno Mars, "It Will Rain"
4. Sleeping At Last, "Turning Page"
5. The Features, "From Now On"
6. Christina Perri, "A Thousand Years"
7. Theophilus London, "Neighbors"
8. The Belle Brigade, "I Didn't Mean It"
9. The Noisettes, "Sister Rosetta (2011 Version)"
10. Cider Sky, "Northern Lights"
11. Iron & Wine, "Flightless Bird, American Mouth (Wedding Version)"
12. Imperial Mammoth, "Requiem On Water"
13. Aqualung & Lucy Schwartz, "Cold"
14. Mia Maestro, "Llovera"
15. Carter Burwell, "Love Death Birth"

Buffy's Blackmailing Little Sister Ch. 04byMTL17©
Buffy opens her eyes due to her hearing what sounds like knocking. To begin with she thinks it was just in her dream however after a couple of minutes she hears the knocking again and turns her head over and looks in the direction of her hotel room door which is where the knocking seems to be coming from. Sure enough after another couple of minutes there is more knocking and it is defiantly coming from her hotel room door.
The slayer slowly and rather groggily sits up and throws the quilt off of her climbs out of bed and goes to walk towards the door however after one step in the direction of the door she stops and looks down at herself realising she is still naked and quickly turns and looks for her dressing gown and finds it hanging up on the back of the door leading into the bathroom. She groans as she walks around and get's the gown off of the door and puts it on all the while the knocking continues and is starting to become annoying due to Buffy already being awake and on her way to answer the door.
She finally arrives at the door however before she opens it Buffy checks herself over to make sure the dressing gown belt is tied tightly around her to hide her nakedness due to her not knowing who is on the other side of the door although she is fairly sure it is probably Dawn come to take her on their picnic however at the same time she can imagine it being Riley or one of her other friends.
Taking a deep breath and actually mentally hoping and praying that it is Dawn due to her not wanting it to be Riley or another one of her friends due to her being able to imagine the only reason they would come and visit her is for them to do something together and she really doesn't want to have to either get out of doing something with her friends or Riley in order to go on this picnic with Dawn nor does she really want to have to try and get out of going on this picnic with Dawn in order to do something with her friends or Riley.
Once she is satisfied that she is as decent as she can look Buffy puts her hand on the door knob turns it and slowly opens the door to reveal Dawn on the other side of the door with an ear to ear smile on her face.
"Good afternoon Buffy." Dawn says her smile widening.
"Morning Dawn." Buffy says doing her best to smile although her heart isn't really in it.
"Afternoon actually." Dawn tells her matter of factly, "May I come in?"
Buffy feels tempted to turn and look over at her bedside clock however she decides it is best to allow Dawn to come in first and so she simply moves out of the way and allows her sister to enter the room once she is inside Buffy shuts the door and turns to face Dawn giving the bedside clock a quick glance and notices that it is actually 12:02pm.
"Are... are we still going on a picnic today?" Buffy asks watching as Dawn reaches her wardrobe doors, before then adding once Dawn has turned to look at her, "You said last night that we are going on a picnic."
"Yes, and it's going to be just you and me. I've got a nice quiet spot picked out where no one will disturb us." Dawn says with a smile on her face as she turns back around to face the double doors in front of her.
Dawn loves the fact that they are going to be alone especially with what she has planned. With this thought in mind Dawn opens the two doors in front of her and begins rummaging through her big sister's clothes.
"Here." Dawn says causing Buffy to open her eyes and look at Dawn who is once again standing and facing her with a top and braw in one hand and a pair of jeans and a thong in the other, "Why don't you wear this today. It's casual but sexy."
Buffy swallows hard feeling tempted to tell Dawn she will wear what she wants to wear and that she doesn't need her little sister picking her clothes for her. However she decides rather than argue to simply agree with her and so she walks up and takes the top and jeans from Dawn.
"So where are we going?" Buffy asks as she heads towards the bathroom door.
"You needn't worry about that right now everything is ready all we need to do is get there which we will do once you're ready." Dawn tells her not wanting to spoil the surprise.
"And how are we going to get there?" Buffy asks as she opens the bathroom door and once she has done she turns to look at Dawn.
Dawn smiles at her older sibling, "Wait and see."
Buffy looks at Dawn feeling nervous by her sister's words she does her best to ignore them as she turns and heads towards the bathroom.
"Oh and Buffy." Dawn says causing her older sister to stop in her tracks and slowly turn to look at her, "Before you put your underwear on I want you to stick this butt plug up your ass."
Dawn grins ear to ear as she reveals a 5 inch butt plug from her pocket grateful to have finally gotten rid of it due to the size of the butt plug making walking with it in her pocket most uncomfortable. As she thinks about this Dawn can't help but smile due to the fact she is sure as much discomfort as the butt plug caused her just walking from her room to Buffy's it is no doubt going to cause Buffy more.
Buffy looks at the butt plug in Dawn's hand which her sister is offering her. She feels tempted to refuse however she knows what will happen if she does and so she slowly takes a step forward and takes the thing from her sister.
"I... I won't be long." Buffy says as she turns and goes to open the bathroom door again.
"Actually Buffy." Dawn says causing Buffy to stop where she is again and slowly turn her head and look back at her sister starting to get a little bit irritated by her sister constantly stopping her from doing what she needs to do in order for them to leave.
"Do it now." Dawn says plainly.
"What?" Buffy asks with a frown.
"I want you to put the butt plug in now." Dawn says matter of factly.
Buffy looks at her sister in shock and disbelief.
"Dawn." Buffy says wanting to keep some small amount of dignity that is if she hasn't lost it all already, "I will put it... in after I have gotten a shower."
"No. Now." Dawn snaps.
Buffy looks into Dawn's eyes and is able to tell she is deadly serious.
"Would you mind holding it while I get undressed?" Buffy asks offering the butt plug back to Dawn.
Dawn smiles as she takes the butt plug from Buffy and watches as Buffy undoes the belt around her waist and takes off the dressing gown she is wearing and lets it slip to the floor showing her naked body to Dawn which causes the youngest Summers girl to smile even more and lick her lips at the sight of her older sisters flesh.
Once Buffy has removed her dressing gown she reaches out for the butt plug which Dawn goes to give her but just before the two girls touch hands Dawn pulls her hand back.
"Actually I'll do it." Dawn says with an ear to ear smile.
Buffy drops her hand having had enough of Dawn's games.
"Do you want us to go on this picnic or not!" Buffy snaps letting her anger and frustration out into her tone of voice.
Dawn just smiles more if that is even possible.
"Are you threatening to refuse to do something I want?" Dawn asks as calm and as cool as can be.
Buffy takes a deep breath and swallows hard wanting so badly to say yes and yet knowing what will happen if she does and so she slowly turns around and bends as far over as she can.
Dawn watches as her older sibling turns around and bends over showing her her once again regular coloured backside her slayer healing having healed any damage she had done to her older sister's ass the previous night with the spanking.
"That's a good girl." Dawn says and with that she moves closer to Buffy's ass and slowly and gently positions the butt plug at the entrance of her big sister's back door and then starts to push the butt plug into her sibling's rear hole.
Buffy grits her teeth doing her best not to cry out as she feels the butt plug start to invade her back passage. Although feeling discomfort she also feels a small amount of pleasure as the butt plug enters her ass hole completely and Dawn leaves it imbedded in her backside.
"There." Dawn says once the butt plug is deep enough in her sister's shit hole that it can't be removed without somebody removing it, "You can go and get ready now."
Buffy slowly stands up feeling more discomfort now than pleasure due to the butt plug being very deep with in her butt however she manages to walk over towards the bathroom door opens it and enters shutting the door behind her.
A short time later Dawn turns her head in the direction of the bathroom door and see's it slowly starting to open which causes her to jump up off the bottom of the bed as she see's Buffy now fully dressed in the clothes she chose for her, walk out of the bathroom and shut the door behind her.
"Ready?" Dawn asks her.
Buffy nods her head, "Ready."
Dawn smiles, turns and heads for the door with Buffy following close behind the two leave Buffy's hotel room and head for the lift, get onto it and go down to the ground floor. They get off of the lift and leave the hotel walking out the front to a waiting taxi which they both get into the back off.
"Where too now?" The taxi driver asks.
"Back to where you first picked me up." Dawn tells him and with that the taxi heads off on it's journey.
After a while the taxi pulls up at it's destination. Dawn pays the taxi driver and the two sisters climb out of the taxi. Buffy looks around and realises that they are where they where the night before, the Finn residence.
"What are we doing here?" Buffy asks looking over at Dawn.
Dawn simply smiles at her.
"Follow me." Dawn says as she turns and walks off, Buffy following close behind her.
As the two continue walking Buffy notices that they are walking away from the actual Finn house and head for what looks like some stables. As the two get closer to the stables Buffy notices somebody standing outside one of them apparently waiting for them. As they get even closer Buffy realises that it's Riley's dad Mr. Finn.
"Good afternoon Buffy. Dawn." Mr Finn says when they reach him.
"Good afternoon Mr. Finn." Dawn says.
"Good afternoon Mr. Finn." Buffy says still very confused as to what exacterly is going on.
"Are they ready?" Dawn asks causing Buffy to turn and look at her sister who has her focus locked on Mr. Finn.
"Already waiting to go." Mr Finn says causing Buffy to turn and look at him and can't help but feel nervous as he smiles at her.
"Are who ready? What's already waiting to go? Dawn what is going on?" Buffy snaps looking back at her sister who turns her head and looks at Buffy for the first time since they left her hotel room.
"Allow me Dawnie." Mr Finn says causing Buffy to turn and look at Mr Finn due to him calling her sister Dawnie something only the closest of friends and family call her.
Dawn turns her attention from Buffy back to Mr. Finn and smiles, "Go ahead."
"Thank you." Mr Finn says smiling back at Dawn.
"You see Buffy, Dawn called my son earlier this morning and asked him if there was any chance the two of you could go riding due to her feeling the need for you two to do something together in order to make sure that everything is ok between you after last night's revelation about Dawn's secret boyfriend. When Riley got off the phone with Dawn he called me and we sorted it all out. The horses are right here all ready and waiting to go and as I understand it Dawn has picked out the best spot on our lands for you two to have a picnic." Mr Finn explains.
"Excuse me Mr. Finn." Dawn says, "How long do we have the horses for?"
Mr Finn looks at his watch.
"Well it's half past one now." He says turning his attention from his watch to the younger of the two women in front of him, "I'd like them back here by night fall if that is alright?"
"That's fine." Dawn says with a grin due to that giving her plenty of time to do what she plans on doing at the secluded spot she has chosen for her and her sister to have their picnic.
Mr Finn nods his head and then turns and looks in the direction of the stables and makes a clicking noise which causes both Buffy and Dawn to turn their attention from the elderly man to the entrance of the stables as well as two large and extremely muscular looking brown coloured horses with black mains and tails both are a little bit taller than both Dawn and Buffy and they both have riding gear on them as they walk out and stand next to Mr Finn.
"So which one would you like to ride?" Mr Finn asks.
"Up to you Dawn." Buffy says.
Dawn smiles at Buffy, "I'll take that one."
Buffy nods her head and with that the two girls walk up next to the two horses and climb up and get into their saddles Buffy winces a little due to the butt plug pushing deeper into her ass as she saddles up.
"Are you alright Buffy?" Mr Finn asks noticing Buffy's wince.
"Yes." Buffy says doing her best to shrug it off, "This horse is just a little bigger than the last one I rode is all."
"Do you want to swap?" Dawn asks with a smile as she looks at Buffy.
Buffy looks over at Dawn who is smiling at her and knows the reason why she is smiling is due to her knowing the real reason for her wincing.
"No thanks Dawn." Buffy says doing her best to hide the anger at her sister's pleasure in her discomfort, "I'll be alright."
"Alright then." Dawn says confident that her sister won't be alright by the time they get to their destination as she turns and looks at Mr. Finn, "We'll see you just before night fall Mr. Finn."
"Have a good afternoon." Mr Finn says smiling back at her.
"Oh we will." Dawn says as she turns to look back at Buffy, "Follow me Buffy I know the way."
With that she gives her horse a tap with her heel which causes it to start moving forward in the direction she wants. After a minute or two Dawn turns and looks behind her to see Buffy following her which causes her to turn back around and focus on the direction they are going.
Buffy follows close behind Dawn on her horse and soon notices that they are leaving the Finn farm walls and are soon very far away from the farm and house and getting further away.
"Dawn." Buffy deciding to pass the time while they ride by talking to her younger sister.
"Yeah." Dawn says.
"Aren't we forgetting something?" Buffy asks.
"What?" Dawn asks back.
"The picnic basket or whatever it is we where going to carry the food in." Buffy says having expected them to stop off at a supermarket or something in order to pick up food for them to eat on this picnic.
"The picnic basket is already where we're headed." Dawn explains, "I came out here earlier with Mr Finn in his truck when he showed me the location that we are going to be having our picnic at. I set everything out, apart from the food obviously. The blanket is down, the basket is down, we even have two buckets of water and two buckets of food for the horses. And here we are now."
Buffy looks around and see a huge tree with four buckets in the shade of the tree evidently the food and water for the horses and a short distance away from the tree is a tree stump and on the tree stump is a red and white chequered blanket and a brown picnic basket on top of that.
All of a sudden Dawn stops her horse which causes Buffy to bring her horse to a stop.
"Dismount." Dawn says as she climbs down from her horse.
Buffy does the same and once she is down on the ground she then turns and looks at Dawn who is looking back at her.
"We'll walk the horses over to the food and water and then tend to ourselves." Dawn tells her older sister as she turns and grabs the reigns of her horse and slowly leads her over into the shade of the tree and towards two of the four buckets of food and water while Buffy leads her horse over to the other and both horses immediately tuck into their food and water, "Let's leave them to it."
Buffy nods in response, the two sisters tying their horses to some nearby trees before going to sit on the blanket. Then Dawn opens the picnic basket and starts to take out all of the snacks and finger food she bought on her way from the hotel to the Finns farm earlier in the morning. Buffy watches as Dawn puts different foods down onto the blanket which is underneath the picnic basket as she does so Buffy looks around the picnic basket at each of the different foods. There's mini sausages rolls and chocolate fingers crisps ready made sandwiches etc.
"And now... for the centre piece." Dawn says looking at Buffy and smiling as she reaches into the picnic basket and pulls out with both hands what is going to be the centre piece on the picnic table.
Buffy's eyes go wide as she see's Dawn's 'centre piece' which is her 12 inch strap on dildo and watches as Dawn places it delicately in the middle of the picnic table in place of the picnic basket which Dawn removes before putting the strap on down in it's place and puts the basket down in between her and Buffy once she has done that Dawn sits down opposite Buffy on her hands and knees.
Despite having seen it before Buffy still finds it an amazing specimen. As she continues to look at it Buffy remembers what Dawn told her she was going to do with it how she was going to... how she was going to have her older sister get down on her hands and knees and give the 'centre piece' a nice long blow job and then when it's nice and wet she was going to have Buffy lay down on her back and spread her legs and fuck her with it and then she was going to fuck her older sister in the ass with that monster.
Slowly Buffy turns her attention from Dawn's strap on to Dawn herself who is looking at her with an ear to ear smile.
"Why did you bring that?" Buffy asks doing her best to hide her nervousness due to her being able to imagine the answer.
"I thought it might be nice for you to look at it and think about where it's going tonight." Dawn tells her her smile widening, "I hope you're hungry because you're going to need all your strength tonight. If you remember I had intended on using that to fuck your pussy last night. However because of your defiance I didn't get to do what I intended so tonight instead of fucking your ass like I had origionally planned I am going to be fucking your pussy and then tomorrow night I am going to be fucking your ass. Also Buffy I feel I should tell you that I have decided due to your defiance yesterday you need to be spanked every day from this day until our last day together in order to make sure you remember who is in charge and who takes orders from who. And after we've finished eating we're going to put everything back into the basket and then you are going to take your jeans and thong down and I am going to take out the butt plug and give you your first of what will become your daily spankings."
Buffy looks at her sister in disbelief at what she is saying and yet knowing she means every word as she turns her attention from Dawn and looks around and slowly returning to looking at Dawn despite having not been able to see anyway that they could be interrupted Buffy can't help but protest.
"You can't." Buffy says in a weak tone of voice.
"What did you say?" Dawn asks a little stunned by Buffy's comment.
"I said you can't Dawn!" Buffy snaps, "Not here. Not in broad daylight. Somebody could see us."
She says unable to stop herself from saying it even though she knows it isn't true.
Dawn just smiles, "Take another look around Buffy. We're practically in the middle of nowhere. I planned for us to be. I asked Mr. Finn where the most secluded spot on his land was where we would not be disturbed by anybody and this was it. I don't think I could have picked a better spot if I tried."
"Didn't Mr. Finn ask why you would want such a secluded spot?" Buffy asks her younger sibling.
"He did and I simply told him that we needed sisterly time alone." Dawn tells her, "So I don't think he'll be bothering us. I don't know what Mrs Finn is doing but I doubt she will bother us Riley is back at the hotel with the others and none of them know we're here."

Point guard Kithcart leaving Hillside
This crossover move has point guard Justice Kithcart emptying his gym bag at Durham's Hillside High School and setting up a locker at Quality Education Academy in Winston-Salem.
Hillside athletics director Bob Hill last week announced that he'd hired basketball coach Thurman Jordan from Holly Springs High School to replace Crasten Davis.
The decision was expected to impact whether Kithcart, who began his prep career across town at Riverside High School, would stay at Hillside.
Kithcart was in Las Vegas for the adidas Super 64 showcase tournament when Hill introduced Jordan, a hire that was eagerly awaited by passionate Hillside fans.
The 6-feet-2, 170-pound playmaker said he'd announce his decision about Hillside upon returning from the West Coast on Tuesday or sometime thereafter.
But the verdict already is in: Kithcart, a rising junior, said he'd spend the upcoming season at Quality Education Academy in Winston-Salem, where he'd be able to learn from Coach Isaac Pitts Jr. and play teams from all over the country, not just primarily from Durham and the surrounding area.
The QEA Fighting Pharaohs last season were 21-5 and played traditionally stout teams including Virginia's Oak Hill and Carlisle academies. QEA came to Durham and split games with Mount Zion Christian Academy.
In Las Vegas, Kithcart made a case that he's ready for the national stage when he knocked down five 3-pointers in a row to get his Team Loaded squad into overtime during a semifinal contest Sunday. Team Loaded, based in Virginia, won in triple overtime. Kithcart had 30 points and five assists.
Team Loaded proceeded to win the championship in the 16-and-under division. Kithcart scored 17 points, dished 10 assists and ran off with three steals in the title game.
Along with the championship trophy, Kithcart left Vegas with hardware for being the tournament's most valuable player.

The spring season's unpredictable weather has certainly provided some unique challenges for outdoor travelers with high temperatures in the 70's and 80's and lows dropping into the 30's, with snow, rain and heavy winds.
Fortunately, the cool weather has helped to keep the blackflies at bay. And when it didn't, at least you could hear them coming with the noise of thousands of black flies chattering their teeth in the cold.
A much more common spring sound has been the faraway thump, thump, thump of a lawnmower attempting to start up far away in the forest.
The noise is not actually mechanical by nature, it is natural in nature. And the fascinating element of the odd spring sound is the sound maker.
The noise is the mating call of a male ruffed grouse, which is often referred to as a partridge. In order to amplify the sound the birds seek out a 'drumming tree,' which is usually of a long, hollow tree laying on the ground.
Drumming trees may be used by generations of birds, but contrary to the long accepted theory of drumming, the male grouse does not produce the drumming noise by thumping the tree with their wings.
Rather, the male birds stand upright on the log and beat their wings furiously. So furiously in fact, that the tips of their wing feathers actually break the sound barrier.
But instead of just cracking a whip, their feathers crack several whips to produce the rhythmic thumping that has become as signature a sound of spring as a loon's lonesome wail or a pepper's pestering peep.
The effort also serves to 'buff them up,' as they can lose more than 10 percent of their body weight due to the energy expended in drumming.
In addition to attracting female birds, the male's powerful beats serve to ward off potential suitors from intruding on its territory, which may be as extensive as 6 to 8 acres or larger.

Can Chocolate Help You Lose Weight? Well…
There's a new study that says those who eat chocolate the most weigh less than those who avoid the sweet treat. But, as usual, there are a few qualifiers on the results.
There's a new study that says those who eat chocolate the most weigh less than those who avoid the sweet treat. But, as usual, there are a few qualifiers on the results.
Have you heard of "skinny fat"? It's a real medical condition, and it can put those with the body type at risk for diabetes and hypertension - diseases usually associated with those who are moderately to severely overweight.
An upcoming study reportedly notes that the perfect movie for a cold Winter's night is a chick flick.
Most of us know to avoid excess salt in our diets . But a new study from the federal Centers For Disease Control and Prevention says many foods have high levels of salt we're not even aware of!
Do you spend hours searching online dating sites for a potential date or mate? A new study says you might as well try your luck at a bar.
As if people struggling with their weight don't have enough to overcome, new research says being too nice may hurt your ability to eat sensibly in social settings!
Here's another reason to stay home from work when you have a cold: new research says driving with cold symptoms is just as dangerous as driving drunk!
(And no, we're not talking about specific people, TV programs, or situations. Or The Situation, for that matter) I'd always heard that we yawn to get more oxygen into our bodies quickly. But, like so many things I thought were scientifically true, this is just plain wrong.
The surprising answer, according to a new study, is yes
When it comes to gift-giving, we all know that "it's the thought that counts". But, if you have decided that someone on your shopping list deserves that expensive item this year, don't spend extra money on an additional "small" gift. A new study says it brings down the value of your larger gift.
As little as two servings a day of sugary drinks - sugar-sweetened soft drinks, sweetened mineral water, and "regular" nonalcoholic beer are some examples - leads to increased risk of heart disease and diabetes in women, according to a new study.
Maybe I'm crazy , but I don't think there's anything more subjective than comedy. If you've ever told the same joke to more than one person, the reaction will probably differ. Now imagine trying to settle the question of whether men or women are funnier. I wouldn't jump into that dispute. But Science says it can settle the issue, once and for all! Yeah, right...

Julianne Kathleen Haggart (Juli)
December 5, 1982 - July 22, 2013
My beloved daughter Juli died peacefully
on July 22, 2013. Juli aspired to be a child
therapist, and enjoyed writing short stories
and poetry, and was working on a novel.
She believed in the goodness of people,
and was always trying to help others. She
believed in the healing power of her many
stones, and often gave them as gifts. She
loved her beat-up, 14-year old green
Chevy Cavalier. Juli was funny, tenacious,
compassionate, smart, giving; and loved
children, her four cats and numerous fish. She was very close to members of her
extended family and we miss you so much Juli --- but your insightfulness, your love
for us all, and your spontaneous silliness gave us 30 years of wonderful memories to
help fill our hearts. We love and miss you so much -- your mother, Michelle Haggart;
grandparents Richard and Joan Dexter, and your grandmother Aeirl Haggart. The
Haggarts: Anna, Alisha, Ron, Bill, Jeff, Cornelia, Will, Andrew, Caitlyn, and Owen;
the Dexters: Mike, Lori, Chad, Amy, Jason, Eric, Maegan, Olivia and Nora;
Maureen, Matthew, Michael Senterfeit, Rachel and Nicholas. You will always have a
special place in the hearts of Micki, Darcie, Luisa, Geneva, Cara, Gary, Denise and
the many other family members and friends who have loved you. Every sunray will
bring us reminders of the joy you brought us all. A Celebration of Juli's Life was
held Sunday, August 11 at a local park for friends and family.

Each week, I'm on here telling you all about the happenings and goings on around you for the upcoming weekend.
Yeah, new movies are out there (yes, if you haven't gone to see "Guardians of the Galaxy," yet, you really should), the Orioles and Nationals are in the thick of the MLB playoff hunt and the NFL preseason is kicking off as well, plus there's always a bevy of TV shows to catch up on.
Let's not forget, though, there is a lot of stuff to do out there in the community, whether it's going to see a show, dining out at a great restaurant or enjoying a concert — there's always SOMETHING for you to do. Here's a taste ...
In Montgomery County, award-winning musician Rita Coolidge brings her sultry sounds to the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club on Sunday.
One of VH1's original veejays, Coolidge has released more than a dozen albums, including her multi-platinum disc "Anytime ... Anywhere." She's also the voice behind the classics, "We're All Alone," "Higher And Higher," and "The Way You Do The Things You Do." She's worked with former Beatle George Harrison and even Jimmy Buffett.
Tickets for the show are $35. For more information, visit bethesdabluesjazz.com.
Over at New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt, it seems like there's always something going on. Everything Thursday there's Mid-Day Melodies and Amy C. Kraft and, chances are, Takoma Park's own John Guernsey is going to be near playing the piano. This week, Fast Eddie & The Slow Pokes will be playing from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday.
The name alone should pique your interest, but in case that doesn't do it for you, Fast Eddie & The Slow Pokes bring a little bit of everything to the stage — blues of all shapes and sizes (Chicago, West Coast, Swing and Jump) with a hint of soul. Needless to say, it's enough to get you up and out of your seat quick, fast and in a hurry.
For more information about the show, or any show at New Deal Cafe for that matter, visit newdealcafe.com.
Imagine being in the crowd the very first time the Beatles ever took the stage. Or when an unassuming guy no one had ever heard of stepped to the microphone and said, "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash." Could you imagine what it would be like, once they became famous, to be able to say to your friends you saw them BEFORE they were famous? Head on over to Jammin Java this weekend and you might be able to say that in the near future.
AJ Smith, the talented singer-songwriter, may have honed his craft at NYU in New York, but he grew up in Fairfax County. He'll be performing at Jammin Java on Sunday.
Although he's still a young guy, Smith has written and collaborated on more than 100 original songs and has already hit the charts in Australia with his song "Summertime." I mean, the guy has opened for The Eagles and counts Glenn Frey as one of his personal mentors for crying out loud! Yeah, he's that good, but don't take my word for it — go see for yourself!
Tickets for the show range from $10 to $15. For more information, visit jamminjava.com or call 703-255-1566.
Now, seriously, go out there and have yourself a weekend!

Present Thief Nabbed In France
By editor
Good morning. I'm David Greene. For a family in France it looked like Christmas was ruined. A thief stole their brightly wrapped presents, which they had left in an unlocked car. But the thief had left them a gift of sorts - his cell phone. When the family went to the police station to report the theft, the alleged thief was there, too, reporting his lost phone. Police arrested him right on the spot and the presents were returned to the family, yep, just in time for the Christmas holiday. You're listening to MORNING EDITION.

Sonoma, Cal. (June 23, 2013) – Edwards landed another top-five finish today, taking the No. 99 Aflac Ford to his second third-place finish at Sonoma Raceway and remaining second in the series points' standings. Edwards is now a mere 25 points behind leader Jimmie Johnson going into next weekend's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.
"I'm really proud of my Aflac guys," said Edwards. "We ended up with a good position. I didn't think our car was that good, so I'm happy with it."
Edwards, who started his No. 99 Aflac Ford in third-place, was running in the top 10 at the start of the race, only indicating that the car was tight into the right of turn four. Edwards playing pit strategy stayed out under the first two cautions but brought his Ford in on lap 32 for four fresh tires and fuel.
Edwards went back out in 26th-place but quickly regained momentum. His Aflac Ford was feeling loose on exit in every turn on the 1.99 mile road course; the team made a wedge adjustment in the right rear, four tires and fuel on his second and final stop of the day.
After the adjustments improved handling conditions, Edwards charged back up into the top 10 with just 25 laps remaining. As the green-white-checkered enclosed, the Missouri native squeezed in his sixth top-five finish of the season.
Edwards and the No. 99 team return to the track on Saturday, June 29th for the Quaker State 400 at 7:00 p.m. EST on TNT.
