Chyler Leigh's family has been in the midst of a steady growth spurt for the past six years. But with the May 7 birth of their third child, Anniston Kae, the Grey's Anatomy star and her husband, actor Nathan West, have found that parenting gets a little bit easier with each addition to their clan.
"Going from zero to one is a huge shock," Leigh, 27, tells PEOPLE. "One to two was a little more challenging. Two to three was a bit more challenging, but once you get used to multiples you figure out how to put things together quicker. You learn how to organize. With number three coming, you get more confident as a mom. It's like calm mom, calm baby."
It doesn't hurt that Anniston, whose older siblings are Noah, 5 ½ and Taelyn, 2 ½, is a mellow baby. "She started sleeping through the night at two months," Leigh says of the infant, who was born just 10 days after Grey's
Anatomy's fifth season wrapped.
Anni, who is going to set with her mom and a caregiver most days is "so easy going. She's so happy to be held, but good at having her own independent time. That's made a big difference," she says. "I think she kinda knew she was coming into a hectic household!"
The well-behaved baby has already won over the actors on her mom's hit show. "Justin [Chambers] nicknamed her Baby Elvis because of her mohawk," Leigh says.
Leigh and her husband don't plan on making another addition to their family any time soon. "Three kids is a lot," says West. "But I couldn't imagine our family without her. She just completed it."

Constructing a new Department of Public Works Field Headquarters
Milwaukee DPW addresses energy efficiency, reduces costs, and increases operating efficiency
Michael W. Krause, AIA, Project Architect, Buildings & Fleet Services, Department of Public Works, City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Venu J. Gupta, P.E., Superintendent, Buildings & Fleet Services, Department of Public Works, City of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chair, APWA Facilities & Grounds Committee
Most government agencies find their budgets squeezed by a steady increase of regulatory and legislative burdens. Skyrocketing construction costs, a tight labor pool and ever-increasing competitive pressures make it more critical than ever before to increasingly reach the ideal where design strategies and construction methods are cost effective, ecologically sound, cost less to operate and are socially beneficial.
When we discuss facilities, the conversation covers both an organization's most valuable physical assets and one of its biggest expense items—whether they realize it or not.
In 2004, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett gave the green light for the construction of a new field headquarters building at a former manufacturing location that had been sitting vacant for quite some time. The site once was a thriving automotive frame business operated by A.O. Smith Corporation. It was critical to relocate the current field headquarters building so as to vacate the land by the end of February 2006 to allow construction of the Harley Davidson Museum. In addition to the time constraints, the budget also proposed various challenges. The funding was established several years ago and the construction costs, like in the rest of the country, were fast increasing.
The construction offered the department the opportunity to consolidate various field operations to one site which would offer operational efficiency and streamline various functions. Resources could be shared by many departments offering additional savings in operating costs.
A staff team was put together to work with the City Project Architect, Mike Krause, to come up with a conceptual layout utilizing "Lean Principles" in designing the most efficient layout while eliminating and reducing any duplicated procedures.
Lean Systems Thinking promotes doing more with less—less square feet of space, less machinery, a lot less inventory, less waste of resources, less energy consumption, less human effort—and therefore the systematic assessment results in a smaller building but one that is more efficient, and therefore costs less to both construct and ultimately to operate.
The Briohn Building Construction Company hired by the Real Estate Development, LLC, Samuel D. Dickman, was provided a copy of the APWA publication Getting it Right! A Guide to Planning & Constructing Public Works Yards so as to better understand the activities that would be carried on at the new public works facility.
Design Program/Project Challenge
The challenge was to construct a new Public Works Field Headquarters Facility on a current brownfield site (24 acres), not to exceed the $24 million budget; and move staff from 10 satellite locations and consolidate field operations from 10 scattered sites while constructing this new 230,000-square-foot facility in 14 months, including time for design and construction. The building would house a staff of approximately 500, and 390 pieces of light and heavy equipment would be pulling out from this location, including approximately 102 trailers, backhoes and utility equipment. The contract for construction was executed in January 2005. As the contract was being finalized, Krause worked with representatives from all departments in developing a building program to address all activities and needs of the city while using Lean Principles.
The Ignition Meeting
On February 11, 2005, an Ignition Meeting was called of experts in the field of Sustainable Building Concepts and Energy to collectively develop various energy alternatives and to undertake Life Cycle Costing for the building systems. The goal of a Life Cycle Cost Analysis is to determine which combination of systems and equipment offers the lowest cost of ownership. This group of experts included the following:
Energy modeling was completed using Tran Trace 700, Version 4.1.7 Software Program. The following alternatives were evaluated using Life Cycle Cost Analysis.
Alternative 1: Code. According to the guideline specification, the building can be divided into the following zones: (1) offices and assembly areas, (2) lockers and lavatories, (3) shop offices, (4) repair bays, (5), warehouse, (6) shop areas, and (7) vehicle storage. Offices and assembly areas will be heated and cooled with a rooftop unit using gas-fired preheat, direct-expansion (DX) cooling, and variable air volume with electric reheat terminals. Lockers and lavatories will be heated and cooled with a constant volume rooftop unit using gas-fired heat and DX cooling. Shop offices will use a constant volume rooftop unit using gas-fired heat and DX cooling. Repair bays will be heated only with direct-fired makeup air units. The warehouse will be heated only with gas-fired unit heaters. Shop areas and vehicle storage will be heated only by gas-fired makeup air units.
Based on the guideline specification and code requirements, we assumed the following U-Values for the building envelope: floor = 0.12, roof = 0.053, exterior walls = 0.063 and windows = 0.57. We also assumed a window shading coefficient (SC) of 0.55.
According to the model results, MDPW, built to Wisconsin Building Code standards and baseline lighting power densities specified by WE Energies, would consume 1,400,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electric energy and 13,500 therms of natural gas each year at an estimated cost of $145,000. Peak overall electric demand would be 520 kilowatts (kW). See the attached Annual Energy Use and Energy Use Reduction tables (page 69).
Alternative 2: Upgrade Envelope to High-Performance. We evaluated upgrading the building envelope to the following U-Values set forth in the Advanced Buildings Energy Benchmark, Version 1.0, dated October 2003: floor = 0.10, roof = 0.033, exterior walls = 0.053 and windows = 0.35. We also assumed a better window shading coefficient (SC) of 0.40 and a highly reflective roof (reflectivity of 60%). If the entire building envelope were upgraded to this level, MDPW would consume 1,250,000 kWh and 13,000 therms each year at an estimated cost of $135,000 yielding an annual savings of $10,000, only $0.043 per square foot. Peak overall electric demand would be 440 kW.
However, most of the building envelope (230,000 square feet) covers heated-only spaces including the repair bays, warehouse, shop areas and vehicle storage. All of these spaces will be heated to only 50 to 65 F so envelope upgrades, in these areas, will have minimal value. When we focused our envelope analysis on the heated and cooled areas which include the office and assembly areas, and lockers and lavatories (29,000 square feet), the savings were $7,000 or $0.24 per square foot. Therefore, an upgrade in the envelope for the heated and cooled areas yields a much better payback than the heated-only areas. Furthermore, since the cooled areas would be affected by this upgrade, the peak overall electric demand would still be 440 kW (same peak reduction benefit as upgrading the entire building envelope).
Alternative 3: Add Air-To-Air Heat Recovery. Many zones will have a high exhaust air requirement: lockers and lavatories will have a combined exhaust rate of 4,400 cubic feet per minute (cfm), repair bays will have an exhaust rate of 1,900 cfm, shop areas will have an exhaust rate of 5,500 cfm, and vehicle storage will have an exhaust rate of 55,000 cfm. For every cubic foot of air exhausted, one cubic foot of outdoor air must enter MDPW and this air must be conditioned to the proper temperature and humidity, requiring energy use.
Air-to-air heat recovery equipment uses the tempered exhaust air as a source of energy to precondition the outdoor air before it enters the ventilation system. Exhaust air from the lockers and lavatories (4,400 cfm) can be processed through a heat-wheel device that can precondition 4,400 cfm of outdoor air entering the offices and assembly areas. This preconditioned outdoor air will provide sufficient ventilation for 220 occupants at the recommended level of 20 cfm per occupant. A heat-wheel device will also recover humidity, during the heating season, so the interior humidity levels remain higher, reducing static electricity and improving occupant comfort and health. Exhaust air from the repair bays, shop areas, and vehicle storage (62,400 cfm) can be processed through a run-around loop that can preheat 62,400 cfm of outdoor (makeup) air entering these spaces. During the cooling season, this system can be bypassed. Run-around loops are ideal for recovering heat from exhaust air contaminated with vehicle emissions, paint fumes, and particulate.
If air-to-air heat recovery units are added, MDPW would consume 1,400,000 kWh and 9,600 therms each year at an estimated cost of $120,000 yielding an annual savings of $25,000. Peak overall electric demand would be 510 kW.
During the Life Cycle Cost Analysis it was determined that most of the energy savings was captured by the heat wheel. The high cost of the run-around loop was not as effective due to the exhaust cycle times and ultimately not included in this project.
Alternative 4: Reduce Lighting Density and Add Sensors. Wisconsin Building Code allows lighting densities (watts per square foot) that are higher than recommended practices for an energy-efficient building. Lower lighting densities save on first cost and energy cost. We reduced lighting power densities from those used as a baseline by WE Energies to those listed in the Advanced Buildings Energy Benchmark, Version 1.0, dated October 2003.
Additional savings could be achieved by installing occupancy sensors on non-emergency lights not required for egress. Some corridor lights and some of the parking garage lights should remain on at all times. All other lights can be controlled through occupancy sensors with manual overrides.
If lower lighting power densities are installed and most of the lights are controlled by occupancy sensors, MDPW would consume 930,000 kWh and 14,400 therms each year at an estimated cost of $134,000 yielding an annual savings of $11,000. Peak overall electric demand would be 440 kW.
Alternative 5: Combine Measures. Reduce lighting density and add occupancy sensors, add air-to-air heat recovery, and upgrade envelope in the spaces. In addition, upgrade the air-cooled rooftop units from a code-minimum energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 9 to an EER of 11. If all of these measures are implemented, MDPW would consume 730,000 kWh and 10,000 therms each year at an estimated cost of $97,000 yielding an annual savings of $48,000. Peak overall electric demand would be 340 kW.
Alternative 6: Upgrade Heating System. Provide boilers and hot water heat as an alternate to the planned gas-fired and electric reheat system. Hot water can be provided to the rooftop units for preheat, the reheat coils in the office area, and the unit heaters in the repair bays, warehouse, and vehicle storage areas. If built as specified, MDPW will consume 260,000 kWh for reheat and 13,500 therms at an estimated cost of $26,000 each year. A high-efficiency hot water boiler system (82% efficient) could provide all of this heat using 24,000 therms each year at a cost of $15,000 yielding an annual savings of $11,000. Peak overall electric demand would be unchanged from the base of 520 kW.
Alternative 7: Upgrade Cooling System to Chilled Water. Provide water-cooled chilled water cooling as an alternate to DX cooling. This upgrade would only affect the areas that are cooled: offices and assembly areas, lockers and lavatories, and shop offices. A typical rooftop DX cooling system will require 1.38 kW of electric power to produce one ton of cooling. A water-cooled chilled water system will require 35% less electric power. If built with DX cooling, MDPW will consume 150,000 kWh each year for cooling. By reducing this 35%, 53,000 kWh will be saved each year, reducing annual electric energy costs by $5,000. Peak overall electric demand would be 480 kW.
While the construction contract was being negotiated, the demolition of existing buildings was started in December 2004 to enable the developer in meeting the fourteen-month fast-track design/build schedule. In addition, due to this brownfield site which was once used for steel fabrication, the site would require a hard surface cap.
Demolition was performed in keeping with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) in an environmentally-conscious way:
Upon completion, this new facility will be highly energy efficient. It is estimated that based on Life Cycle Costs, it would cost $87,117 for various energy initiatives while saving approximately $48,000 per year, offering a simple payback of two years. Part of the savings is expected from a waste oil boiler to heat the four-bay vehicle maintenance shop using drained vehicle oil for fuel.

Raisin-Cinnamon-Scones With Sesame-Caramel-Chunks
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 15 mins
I came up with recipe myself when looking for a special sweet treat this weekend. It is very easy to prepare and also quite low in sugar, which makes it a little less sinful. I hope you will enjoy these as much as I do. If you cant find sesame-caramel bars, you might substitute some honey plus sesame seeds for them.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup flour
- 1⁄4 cup oats
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 4 tablespoons raisins
- 2 tablespoons sugar (use more if you like your scones sweet)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (use more if you prefer a stronger cinnamon flavour)
- 1 (25 g) packet sesame, caramel bars crushed
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F.
- In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, sugar and cinnamon. Add oil and stir to combine.
- Fold in raisins and crushed sesame caramel bars (or 1tbs honey plus a generous tbs of sesame seeds).
- Now add both liquids and stir to combine. Knead into a soft dough. If it is too sticky add more flour, if it is too dry add some more milk.
- Pat out dough on a floured surface and cut out scones of desired seize ( I use a regular glass for cutting).
- Place on a paper-lined baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes until baked through and golden brown.
- Enjoy! :).

Delicious! And so easy to make, I made them in the morning - on a work morning! DH loved them so much that he said "I'm not saying you have to make scones every morning, but boy, it would be nice - I really enjoyed that scone with my coffee!" Now, DH's usual comment is "good" when I ask him how a recipe is... that he said so much about this recipe says how good they are. :) I really enjoyed the Sesame Snaps in them, too (that's what they're called in Canada). Delish, Loula - I'll make these again for sure! Made for our VIP Chef in Veggie Swap 16!
I'm one of those who can't find the 'sesame-caramel bars' so did use a dark & flavorful honey along with a tablesoon of sesame seeds (really enjoy using those GENEROUS amounts!) ~ These scones are REALLY, REALLY TASTY & we enjoyed them with a very nice orange-flavored honey butter! Thanks for a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for my chosen chef in this month's Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap 12]

Intel Xeon 2697 V2 24 Core 48 Thread Madness Review
Published: 31st January 2014 | Source: Intel | Price: £2000 each |
Clearly at well over £2000 a CPU this isn't the kind of purchase you will make on an idle Friday to give you something to look forward to on Monday morning. In fact with the relentless march of technology the Intel Xeon E5-2697v2 is actually the kind of processor that it makes zero sense to purchase unless you're buying them by the thousand because they'll quickly be superceded by the desktop variant at a more affordable price point. If you are looking to furnish your next super computer, hello Pixar/Dreamworks/GCHQ.
For the rest of us our review today is a clear indication of exactly why the Xeon is a workstation processor, rather than one to power your gaming rig. The memory bandwidth is clearly the biggest hurdle to anything approaching multi-application usability. We have mentioned before how poor AMD memory bandwidth is in relation to the Intel Sandy/Ivy Bridge range, but compared to the Xeon the AMD offerings are Ferraris in a world of Kias. This problem manifests itself in all of the benchmarks that we consider to be accurate representations of the type of function any desktop system would be asked to employ. In particular PC Mark 7, which is as close as we can get to replicating daily use in a manner that gives a hard statistic at the end, gave a positively abysmal score thanks to that very poor memory performance.
But to berate the Xeon's performance for not being desktop worthy would be like complaining that a Formula One car hasn't got enough boot space for your shopping. It's utterly missing the point. These are about performing enormous amounts of calculations in as small a time as possible and they certainly get the job done. Indeed there are so many cores that Windows struggled to give every program full access to them. Folding @ Home in particular barely reflected any CPU at all, let alone a 48 core beast of a setup. What it all boils down to is that if you are a hard core video editor maybe a 3D animator these will have your manhood standing too attention and your epeen needing these to stay looking confident. They are very much the top of the pile when it comes to a professional work station environment and this is one of the only situations where this level of investment could be deemed as viable.
So the Intel Xeon E5-2697v2, a useful indicator of where the future for desktop processors will be and a hint of the performance that you will have available. They're just not a sensible choice for all but the most demanding of users. Those for whom 'power-hungry' seems a barely adequate adjective. It's nice to taste the power though, isn't it?
Thanks to Intel for supplying the Xeon E5-2697v2 for review. Discuss your thoughts in the OC3D Forums.

Highest score i've had on my 2500k is about 7.9 and that took a good 30secs, maybe more to complete the render test.
I would love to have two of these Xeons but 1. I can't afford them and 2. I have no use for them anyway, so it would be a waste.
I still want them though!! Quote
Thinking about it the test suite is something you guys might want to look into as it can running on Windows and automates benchmarks and might become a tool that could be used across the board.Quote

A "just because you can" rig is always nice :PQuote
I'll actually be getting myself a new Workstation at work soon with 2 Xeon E5-2687W V2's for a total of 32 threads. Insane, but not as insane as 48.Quote
Oh my <3. I really wish dual cpu configs were affordable. They look amazing. That price/gaming performance is hilariously bad but to be fair xeons aren't for gaming at all.
@Tom, you've got the strangest way of pronouncing "Linux" I've ever heard. Quote
I can't believe that this system actually came close to my old Server!
I knew though that you'd have problems with OCCT. Most programs are 32Bit and you can see it because they only support 32 cores/threads.
Here did the video:
I think you can get to about 500k PPD with that system if you set it up in Ubuntu. If you need help or advice, PM me. I might be one of the few people on this forum who's used 48 cores/threads for F@H
I wonder why it beat my system in wPrime with 32M
I also only count 32 treads. I think your score ought to be closer to 32 points!Quote
In regards to Toms comment about multi threading and gaming with 48threads.. i wonder if running Mantle with this rig would improve game performance? Now its doubtfull but it would be cool to just try
No, because no game would be designed around 48 threads - not only that but it isn't easily scalable unlike GPGPU threading models.
Obviously but i thought it would be worth a try just to see if it really does do anything at all. Even if the engine made use of even 1 more thread i wonder what it would do to performance. Now i know it won't be much but could try BF4 pretty quickly to see. Or even the StarSwarm demo from steam.
Moved posts about multithreaded game engines here as it was going off topic.
B2T then...
When I saw the video I came to think (since I have the same board) the ppd-score is great (mine is at ~85k ppd just using both cpus but I just started and haven't done more than 10 WUs so far). But on the other hand when folding with only the gpu I get ~150k ppd in my current status. So I came to think that if the rig is just going to be for folding (if I got it right) wouldn't it make more sense to slam in multiple graphics cards i.e. R9 290(X) and replace the Xeons with smaller ones just to be able to populate all PCIE-slots?
If I understood correctly my ppd are going to rise when I finished more than 10 WUs since my system is qualified for greater WUs giving more credits so just using my one gpu in theory I should outperform this monster.
Surely it will have to be seen if and how much there will be a difference and what the ratio between ppd and power consumption will be achieved in the end to tell for sure but I just wanted to have this thoughts experiment.
Maybe I'm even not seeing something critical which needs to be also kept in mind.
Since the Xeons don't get that warm and thus the rigs stays very quiet it would be a hassle to get the same rig stuffed with multiple gpus to be that quiet as well but hey... Where's the fun if there weren't any challenges? Quote

Being a Find A Grave photo contributor is the most rewarding & constructive hobby I've ever taken up.. You have my consent to use any of the headstone or plot photos that I've loaded to memorials.. If I've created a memorial for a family member or friend of yours, I'm more than willing to transfer them to you.. I'm not looking to own high numbers of memorials, my intentions as a contributor are.. first.. to help document the cemeteries.. and secondly.. to help family members find their ancestors more easily.. So even if you don't necessarily fit the Find A Grave 'guidelines' for requesting a transfer, don't let that deter you from asking.. My feelings are that if you've taken the time to contact me with a correction or addition to a memorial, then you qualify...
I also want to give special mention to my Find A Grave friend, Kris Daugherty/OSU1988. Kris has been a tremendous help to me by providing me with cemetery records for Williams County. These records have enabled me to add my photos to memorials with confidence. As many of you know, sometimes we encounter stones that have been so worn down by time and weather that they are unreadable. Her records allow me the ability to cross check the photos with placement of the graves and to identify those unreadable stones. THANK YOU KRIS!!!
Also, I came across this poem on another contributor's profile and it perfectly conveys my thoughts and feelings as I walk the cemeteries.. so with his permission I've borrowed it from his page and here it is..
Today we walked where others walked
On a lonely, windswept hill;
Today we talked where other cried
For Loved Ones whose lives are stilled.
Today our hearts were touched
By graves of tiny babies;
Snatched from the arms of loving kin,
In the heartbreak of the ages.
Today we saw where the grandparents lay
In the last sleep of their time;
Lying under the trees and clouds -
Their beds kissed by the sun and wind.
Today we wondered about an unmarked spot;
Who lies beneath this hollowed ground?
Was it a babe, child, young or old?
No indication could be found.
Today we saw where Mom and Dad lay.
We had been here once before
On a day we'd all like to forget,
But will remember forever more.
Today we recorded for kith and kin
The graves of ancestors past;
To be preserved for generations hence,
A record we hope will last.
Cherish it, my friend; preserve it, my friend,
For stones sometimes crumble to dust
And generations of folks yet to come
Will be grateful for your trust.

RE: Richad Burtenshaw #120390689
Trust this will help Sandi! If I can be of further help, don't hesitate.
Burtenshaw. At his home at Geary, Mich., March 30, 1898, of kidney trouble, after one week�s sickness, in his seventy-fifth year, Eld. Richard Burtenshaw.
Bro. Burtenshaw was born near Bridgton, Eng., and came to America when eighteen years of age. He entered the ministry in 1858, since which time he has devoted his life to the work of preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God. His labors extended over several states; at one time he labored with the great Dr. Litch of Philadelphia. He also preached in Canada, and in the Western States and Territories, traveling at his own charges. His labors have been attended with fruit that will appear in the day of the Lord Jesus. His life has been pure and his character stainless. He was a member of the Michigan A. C. Conference, and has been its president several times. Bro. B. was twice married, his first wife died years ago, leaving four children, two boys and two girls, now grown to manhood and womanhood. One daughter, Hattie, from North Carolina, hastened to her father�s bedside, arriving about twenty hours before he died, and one son, Rollo, was present at the funeral. Bro. B. came to Geary in 1891, and was joined in marriage to Sr. Sarah Pearson, a thorough Adventist. Since that time he has been a member of the A. C. church of Victor, and its pastor for seven years, refusing to take any salary. Four weeks before his death he attended the A. C. Conference at Grand Rapids, Mich., with the writer, and preached a grand sermon on immortality. I called to see him during his sickness and he said he felt he had preached his last sermon, but was content to sleep and was all right and safe in the Lord, and requested me to preach his funeral sermon from 2 Pet. 3:14, and to tell the people all about it, and that we know that we are right because we have God�s word for it and that he fell asleep in Jesus in the faith. He was conscious to the last. Only a few hours before he died, though weak, he sang a hymn, �Am I a soldier of the cross,� then peacefully fell asleep. The funeral was held at the U[united] B[rethren] church, April 1, with a large congregation of all classes and denominations, this being the first funeral of a minister at this place. So we laid him to rest until Jesus comes. He leaves a faithful and loving wife, four children and a large circle of friends and believers to mourn the loss. He sleeps in Jesus. Good-by Bro. Burenshaw, for a little while. Soon the Life-Giver will come and we shall greet you on the other shore.
W. G. VanBurger
Resolutions of the A. C. Church of Victor, Mich.
Whereas, Death has entered our church and taken from us our Pastor, Richard Burtenshaw, and
Whereas, The intimate association held by the Advent Christian church of Victor, Mich., has been severed, therefore
Resolved, That in the death our our brother the church has lost a true friend, and one who for seven years has been our pastor, shunning not to faithfully declare all the counsel of God, and that we extend our sympathy to the wife and children in their bereavement, trusting that when Jesus comes the family reunion may be complete; and further,
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family, that they be spread on the church records and a copy sent to the World�s Crisis for publication.

Did my favourite character just die?
What the hell!? I'm frigging cold-blooded! I don't shiver all winter long and now it's boiling and my sweat glands aren't working properly (they never do). And it's not like I haven't gotten to the point where I needed to do these things. I'm currently dizzy from the heat and my arms have been completely blue without any sign of shivering.
On the plus side I never actually feel the cold and my pain tolerance is somewhat high. Ah, whatever.
I think my brother might have just committed suicide!
Well that was a disappointment.
I have determined that I should avoid reproduction because of the potential for my descendants to be similar to my brother and father. The superior intelligence provided by my mother's genes does not redeem the genetic structure as a whole. So yeah, I'm just lucky the ass-holery and idiocy are dormant in me.
Why the hell didn't he kill himself!?!?
Yay! Prime rib oven roast!
It's kind of sad that the only things that give me the slightest amount of joy are music and eating. Of course that could be because my life sucks.
I just watched the episode wherein Barney proposes to Robin! It was soooooooo romantic!!!
I get to go hiking tonight!
Just read the link about schools and psychology and whatnot. School wasn't like that for me because I was uncontrollable. I mean, sure, they tried all of that stuff (and more, people never seem to be nice to me) but I go feral when people try to force me to do things that I don't want to do. Seriously, I walked out on almost every detention and a good deal of the classes too. If they tried to physically stop me then I would start smashing things and hitting people. I never actually started anything but my responses to slights were awesome.
[QUOTE=Alex Good;1180842]I just watched the episode wherein Barney proposes to Robin! It was soooooooo romantic!!![/QUOTE]
A spoiler warning would have been nice.
But then again, I wasn't intending on watching anything past season 5 anyway.

For Enterprise Open Source Adoption, Support Problems Still Loom
The annual Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), sponsored by Computerworld, took place in San Francisco this week, and, as usual at the conference, Northbridge Venture Partners released its Future of Open Source survey results. The survey was done in conjunction with the 451 Group, and we've taken a preliminary look at the survey's top-line results, which pointed to substantial opportunities for open source in the cloud and on mobile devices. The survey also includes some data on enterprise adoption of open source, and plans to adopt open source in enteprises, where it is becoming clear that many organizaitons are warming up to it.

New Recommendations Say Annual Pap Tests are Unnecessary and Can Actually be HarmfulMeredith Carroll
If you've been good about getting a Pap smear annually, you might just have one less thing to do most years.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services, just issued new recommendations, according to ABC News.
No longer are once-a-year Pap screenings necessary. In fact, they can actually do more harm than good.
The new guidelines state that women between the ages of 21 and 29 should get one every three years, and women in good health between the ages of 30 and 65 need one only every five years if it's combined with an HPV test. If you're under the age of 21? You don't need one at all — no matter your sexual history.
The new recommendations were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, and are in tune with guidelines from the American Cancer Society and the American Society of Clinical Pathology.
While Pap smears are still seen as a critical part of the prevention of cervical cancer, the findings state that testing every three years "prevented just as many cervical cancer deaths as testing every year." Testing annually, on the other hand, was more likely to result in false-positives, along with "unnecessary biopsies, which bring a risk of infection, pregnancy complications and infertility, and, of course, unnecessary stress."
However, it should be noted that the lack of an annual Pap smear should not mean the lack of an annual visit with a gynecologist.
"With all these different recommendations, we run the risk of having people to start missing their Paps and make it seem like they're not important enough," Dr. Jacques Moritz, director of gynecology at St. Luke's-Roosevelt in New York City, said in October, according to ABC News. "You still need your annual exam. That means, you need your breast and pelvic exam. You just don't need the actual swabbing of the cervix every year."

Officials at Placerita Canyon Nature Center and Natural Area are polishing a tabletop in a corner of their visitors center where they plan to put a big aquarium and fill it with a tiny, tenacious fish indigenous to our area - but that very few have seen.
This summer, they are going on safari for the elusive unarmored three-spine stickleback.
They're gearing up for the hunt - submitting all the necessary permit forms with the Department of Fish & Game, ordering special "extremely invisible" transparent nets, buying hip waders for a five-person safari team, and reading up on their finger-sized prey.
"What I want to do is get enough specimens and put them in a tank, with the sole purpose of having it available for people to see live specimens," said Placerita regional park Superintendent Russell M. Kimura.
"No one has done anything about preserving a specimen of the fish," Kimura said.
The center has plenty of turtles and snakes, hawks and rodents, but no specimen of the animal that has lived in the Santa Clarita Valley longer than any other - especially humans.
Prickly survivor
The unarmored three-spine stickleback has been around since the Ice Age - literally.
It shared Southern California with dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers and bear-sized sloths.
But when those animals died, the stickleback survived.
As a freshwater fish the size of a minnow, fighting for its life in a quasidesert terrain, the stickleback has survived every single major drought since the Ice Age and has managed to dodge every predator two to 10 times its size.
It survived the dustbowl days of the "Dirty Thirties" and it outlasted Southern California's last extended drought in the early '90s.
When the glaciers melted more than 10,000 years ago and ice-cold water rushed to the ocean down the Santa Clarita Valley, swelling the banks of the Santa Clara River with thousands of steelhead trout the size of house cats, the stickleback made the Santa Clarita Valley its home in the river's slow-moving near-stagnant tributaries and settled in for the long haul.
It has since survived thousands of periods of prolonged drought, mastering a means of survival by burrowing into the mud when the river dries up.
When the rains stop, the prickly fish fights its way up tributaries veining down the sides of the Angeles National Forest.
There are other sticklebacks in California - but not like the one found only in the Santa Clara River.
Of the state's three types, the local variety is the only one that exhibits no scales.
"It's almost like a skin," Kimura said.
And, while the fish is unique, so is its home.
The Santa Clara River is still the longest free-flowing river in Southern California and the only one that winds through a pronounced and ruggedly dynamic topography of mountains from the desert to the ocean.
As the glaciers melted and the river sharpened those characteristics that make it unique, from desert to sea, it attracted hundreds of unique plants and animals, lizards, birds and fish.
Rare sight
So few have actually seen the stickleback that finding and capturing the creature is rare.
Two major safari-like ventures have been conducted to find and protect the unarmored three-spine stickleback since it was deemed an endangered species back in 1970.
The first expedition was called the Recovery Plan of 1977.
In 1985, researcher Shoken Sasaki with the California Department of Fish & Game led a team to also find and protect the spiky fish as part of the Revised Recovery Plan.
Kimura hopes to pick up where Sasaki left off.
"He was responsible for studying the stickleback and he was doing a collection, but at the end of his report he lays out what he plans to do, but there doesn't seem to be a conclusion," Kimura said.
The park supervisor now wonders whether Sasaki's team was successful in actually finding the unarmored three-spine stickleback.
"I need a long-handled net that's even more transparent than the one Fish & Game use," he said. "(The stickleback) shy away from the nets we use. We need a fluorocarbon net, not just a monofilament net. It's extremely invisible."
Kimura could have requested a permit from Fish & Game officials to electro-shock the fish, stunning it as if with a taser. That allows the fish to be easily scooped up.
But Kimura is going the flurocarbon route instead.
"We have to go out to those areas and do the best we can," he said. "How many can we catch? We don't know the answer to that."

TAMPA — Hyde Park Village, the open-air South Tampa shopping center, is up for sale.
Owners of the sprawling home to businesses including CineBistro, LA Fitness and Pottery Barn began seeking bidders over the past week but have given no listing price, said Madison Marquette senior vice president Chuck Taylor, whose firm is a partial owner.
The 270,000-square-feet center at Swann and Rome avenues is mostly owned by commercial juggernaut Vornado Realty Trust, which Taylor said has begun selling off its retail property.
Representatives for Vornado offered no comment. The HFF firm, which is listing the center for sale, did not return requests for comment.
How a sale could affect the outdoor mall's businesses and boutiques remains to be seen.
But Taylor said there was plenty to differentiate the Village from centers such as Channelside Bay Plaza and the Shops at St. Pete, once known as BayWalk, which have languished due to lack of business.
"It's a different kind of center, more mixed-use and in an established neighborhood," Taylor said. "It's an excellent piece of real estate, that's for sure."

My parents are both dead. The fact is neither remarkable nor unique. However, they died within 45 days of one another last winteruncommon enough to bring me and my family up hard against reality. On the northern tip of Vancouver Island I woke in the dark the morning after the second funeral, my body on Eastern time, my spirit numb. I made my way back to the village cemetery to say my own private farewell. Douglas firs were silhouetted against the first light of dawn. Colorful funeral flowers had frozen into whited everlastings. I wept into the hoar frost on the new sod and wondered what had become of these lives that had created me. I could not have guessed at the many ways that an answer was to come during the next year.

The San Antonio Spurs head into this 2010 NBA playoffs with questions. Are they too old? Will Richard Jefferson pay off in the playoffs after a sub-par regular season? Is the lack of big men in the paint going to haunt them?
All these questions, and probably more, surround the team as they enter the playoffs. However, if there is one question Spurs fans can answer right away with an emphatic "yes," it's whether or not this year's team comes into the playoffs with a strong bench.
And it is the bench that will be the x-factor for the Spurs heading into the playoffs.
With the starters usually made up of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Antonio McDyess, Richard Jefferson, and Keith Bogans, the Spurs bench can arguably be a starting unit for any squad.
DeJuan Blair, Malik Hairston, Manu Ginobili, Ian Mahinmi, Roger Mason, George Hill, Garrett Temple, and Matt Bonner make for a potent second-unit that has proven itself to be the savior for the Spurs during the regular-season and a positive in an otherwise mediocre one. Some might even argue, this is the deepest bench the Spurs have ever had.
This bench has been the highest scoring bench in the NBA this season at 39.2 points per game. Granted it was against the Minnesota Timberwolves but the Spurs' reserves poured in a whopping 79 points in a 133-111 win on April 12th.
Furthermore, it was not uncommon this season to see the bench out-performing the Spurs' starters and outshining the opposing team's bench. Ask the Western Conference number one seed Los Angeles Lakers.
If one digs deeper into the stats, it reveals much more than just offensive production. The Spurs bench against the other 27 NBA team benches show they average:
- 17.2 rebounds
- 8.7 assists
- 3.0 steals
- 1.9 blocks
- 12.7 defensive rebounds
- 4.6 offensive rebounds
- shoot 45% from the field
- shoot 36% from the three-point line
- shoot 74% from the free-throw line
Insanity! All this makes them the number one bench in the NBA.
Naysayers will point to former Sixth-Man of the Year winner Ginobili coming off the bench as the main reason for these staggering numbers. While that point might have some kernel of truth, overall the reserves are a quality mix of youth and experience.
Blair, Hill, Hairston, Mahinmi and late-comer Temple make up the young Spurs coming off the bench.
In Blair, the Spurs have an absolute brute in the paint. Though small in stature, his wingspan, toughness, strength, knack for grabbing massive rebounds, and ability to finish around the rim more than makes up for the lack of height and ACLs. Might want to ask the Dallas Mavericks in the final regular-season game what Blair is capable of doing. In case you forget Mavericks, Blair pumped in 27 points and 23 rebounds.
Hill, though just in his second season, looks more like he is in his fifth NBA season. What a turnaround for this young Spur. He started his NBA career having a miserable performance in the 2008 Las Vegas summer league to now being Spurs' coach Popovich favorite player.
Hill's production for the Spurs from last year to this year has been astounding. He went from averaging 5.7 points last season to 12.4 this season. Shooting from 40% to 47%. Averaging 1.8 assists to 2.9 assists and shooting 32% to 40% from the three-point line this season.
But more importantly, he displayed poise and maturity when he stepped in admirably for starting point-guard Tony Parker, when Parker suffered a hand injury late in the regular season. He steadied the ship and ran the team like a veteran of 12 years in the NBA.
Hairston, Mahinmi and Temple round out the youngsters. They provide athleticism, energy and the "unknown" for any opposing team. Hairston can give the defense a boost, Mahinmi can contribute on both ends of the floor (if he doesn't foul out in an instant) while Temple has shown he can step in at a moments notice to run the point for the Spurs and make a significant contribution.
The experience off the bench comes from Ginobili, Bonner, Mason.
To say Ginobili has been on a tear of late would be an understatement. Since the All-Star break he has been averaging 22 points a game, shouldering the load for the team, proving his worth to the franchise and has been more vocal on the court with teammates. He has been the Spurs' MVP for the second-half of the regular season and now with a new contract extension making him a Spur for another three years, Ginobili is ready to win.
Bonner and Mason will provide the team with outside shooting but must prove they can contribute when it matters. During the 2008-2009 NBA season, both showed their value to the team during the regular season. Bonner against the Boston Celtics in Boston and Mason showed how clutch he can be against the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns. But all this didn't matter as they disappeared in the 2009 NBA Playoffs against the Dallas Mavericks.
Fast forward to this season and Bonner has added a running-hook shot to his repitoire and Mason is still deadly from the three-point arch.
Nevertheless, they both are poised to make opposing team defenses pay if they leave them wide open for a shot.
As you can see, this commanding mix of youth and experience is the x-factor for the Spurs in this playoff run. It doesn't matter which team the Spurs face in the first-round. With a bench like this, it should make the opposing coaching staff rethink their approach to the series.
But in the end, if the team wants to advance beyond the first-round, the supporting cast must maintain its level of excellence it displayed throughout the regular-season.

I have resolved to finish Alice this month. It is now two years since I started writing it and it is time I finished it and moved on to something new. I have no shortage of ideas for stories. Of course I haven't spent the last two years working solely on this one novel. I keep getting distracted with all those new/better story ideas and writing outlines and sometimes whole scenes and even whole chapters. I keep thinking I should be writing short stories so that I have some "finished product" to show potential readers/fans. But these short stories keep turning ito full length novels. I would say that I have ADHD if it were not for the fact that I don't believe ADHD is a real illness.
So my plan is to write 1,000 words a day for the next month and complete Alice. Biased on the size of completed chapters I have a little over 29,000 words to go.
I am taking my inspiration from both the National Novel Writing Month and from 30 Days to Success by Steve Pavlina. I know it is possible to write 1,000 words a day and I know that setting a limit of only doing it for one month means that it does not seem like such a daunting task, like a complete lifestyle change would be. But then as I am going through my Mid Life Crises maybe a complete lifestyle change would do me some good
I am also thinking of publicly exposing myself by posting my word count for each day here on my blog. Of course I will have no problem posting on those days that I achieve, and exceed, my 1,000 word target. But how would I feel about days like yesterday where I only wrote 323 words of Alice. I also wrote 298 words of my Cinderella story and bits and pieces of other works so the total word count for the day wasn't too bad. But I don't want to bore my blog readers with posts along the lines of "Oh dear, I only wrote 128 words today, Woe is me."
But we shall see.

Time for robocall reform
I would like to thank the Republican National Committee for all the recorded telephone calls I received. I did not realize that I had become so senile that I needed to be reminded 15 times during each day and night who I should vote for.
No party or committee should be allowed to annoy people that way. I am sure that there are many people out there who feel the same way. Something needs to be done. HELP!

Kudos to Sheriff's Office
In response to Adam Peterson's letter: I'm appalled that the Nevada Appeal would even print such a letter to the editor without having the facts first. What would Mr. Peterson have done?
I'm so tired of people judging the cops when they do their jobs. People have no respect for the jobs these men and women do. This "citizen" was high on drugs and obviously was not in his right mind. If the cops tell you to comply or to lie down, you better do it, or suffer the consequences. It looks like this guy got what he deserved.
This town is being overrun by thugs and dopers. I'm glad the cops here took care of business. It's about time we start caring about the cops more than these people who obviously have no respect for the law, do drugs and are a threat to the community.
It's easy to sit back and judge someone, but who gets up in the morning, puts on their uniform, badge and gun and goes out to serve the public?
I hope Mr. Peterson will call someone other than 911 when someone like that "citizen who was beat up" breaks into his house at 2 a.m. Kudos to the Sheriff's Department for giving this scumbag what he had coming.

The following video is from Friday's Motley Fool Money roundtable discussion, with host Chris Hill and analysts Ron Gross, James Early, and Charly Travers.
In the wake of recent earnings results, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) , Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) , and Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) have a combined market cap of $520 billion. Some investors shy away from big technology stocks. In this segment, the guys share why they're not afraid to own some of the biggest technology companies in the world.
When it comes to dominating markets, it doesn't get much better than Intel's position in the PC microprocessor arena. However, that market is maturing, and Intel finds itself in a precarious situation longer term if it doesn't find new avenues for growth. In this premium research report on Intel, our analyst runs through all of the key topics investors should understand about the chip giant. Click here now to learn more.

92 Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - July/August 1999
From a cooler, east-facing site rich in limestone. Tangy aromas of tropical fruits, honey, rose and spice; hints of noble rot. Sweeter than the last but not thicker; large-scaled and powerful. Plenty of fruit to go with the intense spice character, but still rather subdued in the mouth. Very long on the finish. 14.5% alcohol.

FLORENCE – High school baseball coach Joseph Frappolli Jr. is taking a leave of absence in the wake of hazing allegations against four members of his team involving biting a fellow player, the township school district's superintendent said tonight.
An intermediate school vice principal with baseball coaching experience has been named interim coach effective tomorrow, Superintendent Donna Ambrosius said.
Frappolli's decision was voluntary, as stated in his letter read in open session at the board meeting tonight. The board approved the leave by a 7-0 vote, with one member abstaining.
"The distractions caused by the current situation has led me to conclude it is in the best interest of the players that I should take a leave of absence," Frappolli wrote in his letter.
Frappolli, who has coached the baseball team for eight years, will retain his teaching job with the district. There was no immediate word whether the leave of absence would impact his role with the high school's football team, where he serves as an assistant coach under his father, former athletic director Joseph Frappolli Sr.
Four players on the team were suspended early this month among allegations they held down and bit a sub-varsity player during a hazing initiation March 22.
Tonight, Ambrosius and school board counsel Carmen Saginario Jr. confirmed that a second hazing incident of a "similar nature" is under investigation. Saginario said the second incident happened "about a week" prior to the first reported incident on March 22.
More than 50 students and five staff members were interviewed by a 10-person investigative team during the investigation into the March 22 incident, which is now concluded, Saginario said.
Florence police interviewed the parents of the student allegedly bitten March 22, but the parents declined to press charges. However, Police Chief Al Scully said last week the student's mother has remained in contact with police and may be re-evaluating her options.
Scully said his department concluded its investigation with the interview of the parents, but he would reopen the case if the mother changed her mind.
A spokesman for the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office said that agency was not involved in any probe.
Also tonight, the school board will be voting on approval for a new, zero-tolerance anti-hazing and anti-bullying policy. It was drafted as a direct response to the hazing allegations, Ambrosius said.
Riverfront School vice principal Tim D'Angelo will start as the new high school baseball coach tomorrow. The baseball team has a 5-4 record. It started 4-0 and lost four of its last five.

Saturday 26 November proved to be a sell out when Jeremy Wade came to sign copies of his new book River Monsters – A Tale of obsession, adventure and very big fish . . .
Is it safe to get in the water? . . .
Nearly half the world's fish species live in just 0.01% of the world's water – our lakes and rivers. Yet most people know less about what lives in fresh water than they do about the oceans. Because some rivers are very hard to get to – and/or too murky to see into, using normal means – many of their inhabitants are rarely or never seen in conventional natural history programmes.
Biologist and fishing detective Jeremy Wade takes a different approach, starting by examining myths and fishermen's tales, subjecting them to scientific scrutiny to separate fact from fiction. Then he homes in on his targets using a fishing line. The results are some fish of staggering dimensions and appearance, including some spectacular 'firsts'. This book is Jeremy's behind-the-scenes account of the stories featured in his TV series, as well as other incidents from his quarter-century career.


text: Comment by Jason - January 17 2015 @ 07:16 AMI purchased the Ross Evolution #2 in green. I absolutely love the green color; it pairs great with any of Winston fly rods or my Sage Accel. I heard about The Blue Quill Angler from a friend for all the Czech nymphing tying materials that they carry and had seen buy this reel and receive a free fly line to go with it. Absolutely a great deal, and since I was in the market for a new reel I bought one. Great service and quick delivery! I will definitely use them again for a future purchase.User Rating:

The Samsung Multiview MV800 Digital Camera
Good Essay Writing Companies In Uk
The MV800 is available in black, white and our review model's red. Each has a brushed metal casing and weighs 121g with dimensions of 92×56.2×18.3mm. Extending slightly from the front is a Schneider branded lens (F=4.7-23.5mm 35mm equivalent 26-130mm) with 5x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. The sensor behind this is CCD based with effective pixels of 16.15mp and Samsung have ensured that it features dual format image stabilisation and auto-focus (from 5cm Macro, 80cm normal).
We Buy Gold Business Plan Turning round to the back of the camera we find two single control buttons, home and play. Home brings up our main interface and play starts a slideshow of our media. Both use the 3.0" TFT LCD screen which has 288,000 pixels and touch screen functionality.
http://www.umass.lambdaphiepsilon.com/dear-dissertation-committee-members/ Dear Dissertation Committee Members Of course there is a reason this is part of the MultiView brand and that is because the screen flips up to face the front of the camera. Why? Well in this position we can use the display to help us compose and take pictures of ourselves. To further aid in this there is a take picture button on the back surface when the camera is open.
Best College Application Essay Kit Up on the top of the camera we find a power button, status LED, zoom lever and capture button.
