Purchase of Greenwich
The first settlement of the Town of Greenwich was made on the eighteenth day of July, 1640, when Captain Daniel Patrick and Robert Feaks, formerly of Watertown, Massachusetts, as agents for the New Haven Colony, landed at Greenwich Point, which the Indians called "Monakewego," and purchased from them lands lying between the Asamuck and the Patomuck rivers, as described by the following deed. (Town records):

For the user of this set of volumes to understand what is being presented, we must define carefully the scope of the Great Migration Study Project. Who were the participants in the Great Migration? What information is being collected on these people?
Criteria for Inclusion in The Great Migration Begins
The first phase of the Great Migration Study Project attempts to identify and describe all those Europeans who settled in New England prior to the end of 1633. The date was chosen because of the steep increase in migration beginning in 1634 and continuing for the rest of that decade (see Robert Charles Anderson, "A Note on the Pace of the Great Migration," The New England Quarterly 59 [1986]:406-07). As a rough estimate, about 15 percent of the immigrants to New England arrived in the fourteen years from 1620 to 1633, with the remaining 85 percent coming over in half as many years, from 1634 to 1640.
Robert Huestis
ORIGIN: Bridgeport, Dorsetshire.
MIGRATION: 1635 on the "Marygold" (on 20 March 163[4/]5, "Rob[er]t Huste, husbandman," aged 40, was enrolled at Weymouth, Dorsetshire, as a passenger for New England on the "Marygold" [Hotten 286; GMN 7:9]).

ESTATE: On 27 January 1639/40, "Robert Hewstead hath a Great Lot granted unto him at the Mount [Braintree] for eight heads, 32 acres, paying 3s. an acre" [BTR 1:45].
In 1642 "[Robert Hust]ice" was granted a houselot at Stamford [TAG 10:42, citing Stamford TR 1:6]. On 5 October 1648, "Andreu Messenger of Greenwich" sold to "Robert Heusted of Stanford all my right in land in the same place, all the land that is laid out or that shall hereafter be laid out with all rights belonging thereunto with sixteen acres of upland & five acres of meadow on Myanos Neck ... and ... a homelot & housing on it with ten acres of meadow & upland ... which was John Rockwel's" [Greenwich LR 1:8]. In the Stamford land inventory on 6 March 1650[/1?], "Robert Hustis Senior" held six parcels: "a houselot with the barn and outhousing on it containing an acre & half"; "another homelot by the Ox Pasture, containing one acre and half"; "in the North Field six acres upland"; "in the South Field 8 acres upland more or less, with 7 acres of meadow adjoining to it"; "in the same field 6 acres waste land, upland, more or less at the furthest point of the field"; and "3 acres upland lying within the South Field gate" [Stamford TR 1:34-35]. In his will, dated 8 July 1652 and proved 4 November 1654, "Robert Heusted the elder" bequeathed to "my son Angell all my lands lying in Greenwich with the housing upon it, also ... a third part of my cattle"; to "my son Robert all my lands lying in Stanfford & one-third part of my cattle with all the housing on the land, this only excepted, that my wife is to have being there her lifetime & to be her maintenance ... [and] one-third part of my cattle with all my household stuff"; to "my daughter Ann ten pounds" [GreenwichLR 1:30; Stamford TR 1:109-10; NYGBR 129:199].
In her will, dated 16 October 1654 and proved 20 November 1654, "Elizabeth Hustis (the widow Robert Hustis deceased of Stamford)," bequeathed to "Angell Hustis of Grinwich" livestock; to "my [son?] Robert Hustis" livestock and other moveables; residue to "my daughter Ann, the wife of Richard Hardy of Stamford," she to be executrix [Stamford TR 1:95; NYGBR 129:199-200].

DEATH: Between 8 July 1652 (date of will) and 4 November 1654 (probate of will), and probably closer to the latter date.
MARRIAGE: (1) Bridgeport, Dorsetshire, 6 April 1616 Anne Moon [NYGBR 129:196-97]. She was buried at Bridgeport on 1 February 1621/2 [NYGBR 129:196-97].

vi ROBERT HUESTIS, b. say 1628; m. Stamford 7 January 16[55/6] Elizabeth Buxton [Stamford TR 1:67; NYGBR 129:201-6].
COMMENTS: We have given Bridgeport, Dorsetshire, as the origin of this immigrant, as this is the last certain English residence for him, but Gordon L. Remington makes the likely suggestion that he next resided at Pilsdon in the same county [NYGBR 129:197].
On 18 July 1640, "Robert Heusted" witnessed the deed of purchase of Greenwich from the Indians [Greenwich LR 1:455]. He had substantial land holdings in both Greenwich and Stamford and resided at both places [NYGBR 129:199].
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: In 1954 George E. McCracken published a brief article on the wife of Angell Huestis [TAG 30:127-28]. In 1998 Gordon L. Remington published a more detailed analysis of the marital career of the same man, correcting McCracken in some places [TAG 129:201-6].
In 1998 and 1999 Gordon L. Remington compiled an extensive and detailed treatment of this immigrant, with special emphasis on his son Robert [NYGBR 129:1-12, 97-108, 191-206, 276-84, 130:54-60, with the information on the immigrant at 129:191-201]. We have relied heavily on Remington's work on this family, especially for the marriages of the children of the immigrant.

Robert and Angell Husted
ROBERT HUSTED was born 1596 in Somerset, England, and died 1652 in Stamford, CT. He married ELIZABETH MILLER Abt. 1618 in Frome, England. She was born in Frome, Dorset, England, and died 1654 in Stamford, CT.
Name variations: Ewstead, Huste, Heustis, Heusted, Husted, Hustead, Huested
He was the son of Lawrence Huested. and possibly the grandson of John Huested, who may have been Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth I. John was buried in the church of Newport, Isle of Wight. This line of Husteds traces to southern England, near London in the 1500s. There is some possibility that the name originated on the west coast of Denmark. The family maybe descended from Danish Vikings who raided and settled in southern England. DNA from several descendant confirms a connection to the Iberian peninsula. Possibility southern France as they thought to be Huguenots.
In 1628, a Robert Hewste of Pilsdon, Dorset was listed on the Subsidy Roll for Dorset. Banks Dictionary of English Immigrants To America has Robert Husted of Weymouth Parish, Dorset. He is listed as a "husbandman". Founders of First American Families, lists Robert Hewstead of Pilsdon, Dorset
From Colonial and Revolutionary Families of Pennsylvania, Volumes I-III Robert Husted, the pioneer ancestor, at the age of forty years, on March 20, 1635 embarked from Weymouth, England, in a ship bound for New England, and on his arrival settled for a time at Mount Wollaston, later Braintree, Massachusetts. He was one of a company of early settlers in Massachusetts Bay Colony, who in 1642, received a grant from the General Court, confirmed by authority of the Crown, of the land on Long Island Sound, in what became Fairfield county, Connecticut.
Rev. Joseph Hull, an Anglican, was considered a non-confirming curate and was excommunicated in 1635. He sailed from Weymouth, England for New England on March 20 with a party of his congregation known as Hull's Company. After 46 days at sea their ship landed at Dorchester on 7 May 1635 and stayed there "a fortnight" before removing to Wessaguscus. On July 8, 1635, the General Court of Massachusetts passed an order permitting Rev. Joseph Hull's company of twenty-one families to settle at Wessaguscus, which was then incorporated under the name of Weymouth.. Weymouth Historical Society, History of Weymouth Massachusetts in four volumes, Wright and Potter Printing Company, Boston.
Robert Husted appeared as a member of Hull's Dorset England parish in 1635. Robert Huste, husbandman, age 40, is listed as passenger 104 in Hull's company, his family sailing later. Robert settled first in Weymouth, with other passengers. On January 27,1640, Robert and his family were offered a grant of land in Mount Wollaston [Braintree] of 32 acres of land, 4 acres for each family member, at a price of 3 shillings an acre. However, by July 1640 they had left for the New Haven Colony.
On July 18, Robert Husted and his son, Angell, witnessed a contract for Daniel Patrick and Robert Feakes to purchase land from the Native American Indians in the area now known as Greenwich, Connecticut. Robert, on October 1642, was granted 7 acres of marsh and woodland in Stamford, Connecticut. In 1645, he purchased land in Greenwich, from Robert Feakes, and built another home.
Robert purchased from Andrew Messenger thirty-one acres of meadow, upland and home lot with housing on it in Stamford in 1648. "Know by all men these presents that I Andrew Messenger of Greenwich have sould to Robert Heusted of Stamford all my Right in land in ye same place all that is layd out or yt hereafter bee layd out with all Rights belonging thre unto with Sixteene acres of upland & five acres of meadow on Myanos Neck which is Promised to bee layd out & yt sd Andrew Messenger have sould unto ye sd Robert Heusted and home Lott & housing on it. With tenn acres of Meadow & upland more or les with all Rights & privileges beloning there unto which was John Rennolds wittness in hand this present ye 5 of October 1648."
In the Stamford land inventory on 6 March 1650[/1?], "Robert Hustis Senior" held six parcels: "a houselot with the barn and outhousing on it containing an acre & half"; "another homelot by the Ox Pasture, containing one acre and half"; "in the North Field six acres upland"; "in the South Field 8 acres upland more or less, with 7 acres of meadow adjoining to it"; "in the same field 6 acres waste land, upland, more or less at the furthest point of the field"; and "3 acres upland lying within the South Field gate" [Stamford TR 1:34-35].
Robert's name appears often in the history of Greenwich and Stamford. He is recorded as having joined in sending a letter to Peter Stuyvesant, with concerns that some Stamford people were trying to get Greenwich settlers to move to Stamford. Greenwich was under Dutch rule and was not as strict as the Puritans of Stamford. It is unlikely that Husteds were strict Puritans as they did not choose to live in Stamford. From 1640-1650 they, along with five other famlies, were the only residents of Greenwich.

ANGELL HUESTED (ROBERT1 HUSTED) was born 1620, Somerset, England and died 1706 in Greenwich, CT. He married REBECCA 1643 in Fairfield, CT. The consensus of most Husted and Greenwich historians and genealogists finds her to be the daughter of THOMAS SHERWOOD and ALICE TILER. She was born 1625 in Ipswich, England, and died in Greenwich, CT.
Angell HUSTED was a witness in July 1640, to the Indian deed of Greenwich, Old Town, to Robert Feakes and Daniel Patrick. By August, 1643 Angell Heusted was settled in Greenwich with a one room house and taking care of crops that have been planted on his farm, meaning he must have been there for the spring time planting.
On October 6, 1656, Greenwich, represented by 12 men, submitted to the New Haven jurisdiction and was then told to "fall in with Stamford." On February 5, 1664, the Seven Proprietors made a formal request to the General Assembly in Hartford to be allowed to separate from Stamford and to support its own minister and lay out its own lands. The Seven Proprietors were John MEAD, Jonathan RENALDS, John HOBBY, Joseph FERRIS, Joshua KNAPP, Angell HUSTED, and Jeffrey FERRIS.
Angell HUSTED, second son of Robert, was on a list of men living in Greenwich, CT when the New Haven court compelled them to come under legal jurisdiction of Stamford's deputies Richard Law and Francis Bell and New Haven's court. Angell is listed as a landowner and original patentee in 1665 and in 1672 he is listed as one of 27 proprietors of Greenwich. He was a legal voter in 1688. His Will of 5th of April 1706 lists his wife and sons Jonathan, Joseph and Angel Husted and daughter. Elizabeth Baldwin giving to each one shilling "having already given to them" and son Moses five shillings; with the remainder going to his sons John and Samuel . Jacobus p.317. His land purchased in 1672 is today known as Field Point in Greenwich.
Other Days in Greenwich or Tales and Reminiscences of an Old New England Town Chapter VI, The Davis Dock Mr. "Ebenezer Mead & Angel Husted & John Ferris are "chosen to lay out the landing and highway on the "north side of Horseneck brook."
Angell's land transactions from Fairfield County deeds are:
HUSTED, ANGELL, 1665, one of the original patentees.
Dec. 30, 1670, granted part of the lowermost meadows lying south of the Westchester Path.
Dec. 29, 1686, granted twelve acres of land.
Aug. 4, 1683, deeded land to his son, David.
June 18, 1702, deeded land to his son, John.
1704, deeded land to his son, Angell.
A monument erected in 1935 in Greenwich the by Angell Husted Chapter, Daughters of the American Colonists reads: In memory of the courageous men who founded the first settlement of the Town of Greenwich in the Connecticut Colony.

Some of the Husteds of Greenwich, Dutchess and Fayette County
JOSEPH HUSTED (ANGELL2, ROBERT1 HUSTED) was born 1652 in Greenwich, Connecticut, and died 1717 in Greenwich, Connecticut. He married probably SARAH SEYMOUR Abt. 1683, daughter of THOMAS SEYMOUR and HANNAH MARVIN. She was born 1658 in Norwalk, Connecticut. DNA evidence seems to bear out the connection.
He is listed as a legal voter in 1688. From: Mead, Spencer P. Ye History of He Town of Greenwich: Joseph Husted was said to be deceased by 1718. Joseph Husted, 15 Nov 1683, granted 3 acres of land. Joseph Husted, 23 Aug 1700, granted a parcel of land. Joseph Husted, 21 Feb 1721, deeded land to his son, David Husted
Joseph participated in establishing the boundary between Connecticut and New York: "1696, July 7th, `Ye towne.

Genealogical and Personal History of Fayette County Pennsylvania, Vol II : Hustead (III) Joseph , son of Angell Hustead , was born in Greenwich, Connecticut , about 1662 . He married Sarah , maiden name unknown. Children: David ; Sarah , Abigail , Jonathan , John
MEAD, JONATHAN, and his wife, April 13, 1718, sold all their right, title, and interest in the estate of Joseph HUSTED, deceased.
SARAH Seymour. I have yet to find documentary proof that Seymour was Joseph's wife's surname. However, there is a great deal of information that points that way. The Husted family originally settled in Stamford. Her stepmother was from Stamford, her daughters' names are Marvin and Seymour female names. Her sister married Timothy Knapp, whose father along with Angell Husted was an original proprietor of Greenwich. Some of Angell's children married Knapps. She first appeared in genealogy records as Sarah Seymore, which is how whatever record was originally uncovered showing her as Joseph's wife probably recorded her. In addition, I have several good DNA MATCHES TO SEYMOUR AND ALLIED FAMILIES--Marvin and Gregory. This includes three directly to her grandparents Richard Seymour and Mercy ruscoe, all from different descendants. There are also a couple.to different parts of the same Roscoe family.
DAVID HUSTED (JOSEPH3 HUESTED, ANGELL2, ROBERT1 HUSTED) was born 1685 in Greenwich, Connecticut, and died 1776 in Greenwich, Connecticut. He married JOHANNA BRUNDAGE 1718 in Greenwich, CT, daughter of JOHN BRUNDAGE and HANNAH BUCK. She was born 1697 in Greenwich, CT, and died 1776 in Greenwich, CT. DNA evidence indicates that the Brundage and Buck families are ancestors of Robert Hustead b1755.
JOHN HUSTED (DAVID4, JOSEPH3 HUESTED, ANGELL2, ROBERT1 HUSTEAD) was born 1731 in Greenwich, CT, and died Aft. 1800 in Coxsackie, New York. He married She died after 1800. in Coxsackie, NY.
After reviewing these records, they all seem to relate to John born 1731.
A John appears in the nine partners Patent, Dutchess County, NY in 1700's. His land in 1760 bordered that of Lewis Barton and Ebenezer Titus, Lott 21, in the town of Standford. His land was again mentioned in a deed description in 1778 and he was near David Southerland, John Adsit, etc. A John was a Path Master in 1771, from the Records of Crum Elbow Precinct, Dutchess County, New York, edited by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
On 15 June 1784, A John sold 128 acres in lott 21, subdivision lot 3 in Nine Partners, to Lemuel Castle for L404. He probably left the area about this time going to Coxsackie and settling between Seth Chapins and Stephen Quimby. In 1790 & 1800 he is recorded on the census there.
"John Husted was considered a Whig on a roll of Whigs and Tories, ca. Dec.1777. He was llisted as a "Good Whig" on a *Return of Delinquents in Col.Hopkin's Regiment, with Lists of Such as Are Whigs, Neutrals or Doubtful,and Tories *, dated Haights, High Lands, June ye 10th 1779, Public Papers of George Clinton, First Governor of New York .An Historical & Genealogical Study of all 18th Century Inhabitants of the Patent by Frank J. Doherty. Clinton was located at the Highlands--it does not mean Husted was.
John's son, Robert, was born on the Highlands, Dutchess County, 1755. See his page. There has been some discussion that DNA results rule John out as Robert's father. However, more recent results call this theory into question. This is only logical lineage at the moment and I can't discard it without a comprehensive collection of DNA results from more Robert descendants. There is too much supposition about various relationships.
John had four sons in New York after 1773. At this point he was in his forties, so he probably had a second wife. It appears that he went to Virginia at some point prior to this, where he acquired land through a grant 1772. Moses, his oldest son b. 1749, later sells this land. John may have gone to VA only to acquire the land for sons or he may even have done so in absentia. Given his sons' revolutionary war service, I wonder if he weren't involved in the French and Indian wars and his grant was Bounty Land for that service. The Bounty Lands could be assigned to someone else, in this case his son Moses.
There is a younger John Husted b 1758, and Robert and Moses, older sons who do settle a while at least in Harrison County some time in the 1770's. I believe other than the land record of 1772 other VA records are referring to John 1758 as are ALL records of a John Hustead in the 1780's in Fayette County PA. Moses would have been in his twenties and may have been responsible for his younger sibling. Although in Colonial days young men left home for the wilds at very young ages.
It is very likely in my mind that John, whom I definitely think is father of Robert 1755, never left NY or did so only briefly, but returned there to raise his younger sons. A step mother is often the reason older sons leave home. That easily could have been the case here.
In addition, DAR genealogists accepted this John as Robert's father, multiple times based on the family papers of James E Hustead, of Uniontown, and James W Husted, of Peekskill.
DNA evidence seems to indicate that Robert Husteads grandparent are Joseph and Sarah.

The Winthrope Woman, Anya Seton
A wonderful, well researched book that documents the history of the Massachusetts Company in England, Boston and Watertown. Seton was a resident of Greenwich and gives us a great history of the founding of the town and it's realtionships with New Amsterdam and Connecticut. Recommended for anyone interested in it's history and that of Elizabeth Fones Winthrope Feakes Hallet.
Robert and Angell Husted appear and the following facts are learned:
July, 1639.
Captain Daniel Patrick and his family move from Watertown, Massachusetts to an area west of Stamford, Connecticut called Monakewaygo by the Native Indians living there. Jeffery Ferris owned land in Stamford, Connecticut and also claimed a portion of land at Monakewaygo, which he called Greenwich.
July, 1640.
Robert Husted is said to be living in a weigwa in an area of Connecticut just purchased by the New Haven Colony, called Rippowam by the Native Indians, now a part of Stamford, Connecticut. Robert is waiting to purchase his land from the New Haven Colony. Jeffery Ferris had made a home west of Stamford at what is now Greenwich, Connecticut. Captain Daniel Patrick was living near the same area of Greenwich, and in May 1640, his Lieutenant Robert Feake and Robert's wife Elizabeth moved from Watertown, Massachusetts to Greenwich, Connecticut. Daniel Patrick and Robert Feake set up a deal to buy the land from the Native Indians. Daniel Patrick apparently wrote the land deed document and wishing to have as many Englishmen as possible to witness the signing, had with him Robert Husted and his son Angell Heusted, Jeffery Ferris, and two young adventurers, Andrew Messenger and Richard Williams who had just arrived in the area. Captain's Daniel Patrick and John Underhill, were each in charge of security for certain areas of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, along with other duties to aid the Governor, John Winthrop. Robert Feake by way of marriage to Governor John Winthrop's widowed daughter in law Elizabeth, was made a Lieutenant to Captain Daniel Patrick. Tobias Feake was a nephew of Robert Feake and owned a small sailing sloop [or boat], hauling goods or people along the New England coast.
July 18, 1640.
Robert Husted, and Andrew Messenger witness the main land deed purchase of Greenwich by Daniel Patrick and Robert Feake. Jeffery Ferris also recieved land on this document, with Angell Heusted and Richard Williams as his witnesses. Elizabeth, the wife of Robert Feake, was given an area of land called Monekewego by the Indians, already named Elizabeth Neck on the document.
July, 1642.
Angell Heusted tells Robert Feake he wants to leave Stamford, Connecticut and move to Greenwich, Connecticut. Robert Feake offers to sell Angell some land. At this time Angell is unmarried
August, September, 1643.
Angell Heusted is already settled in Greenwich with a one room house and is taking care of crops that have been planted on his farm. He must have been there for the spring time planting. Angell tells friends that he is going to Wethersfield, Connecticut to marry a woman named Rebecca.
June, 1646.
Robert Husted, along with his home at Stamford, had another home in Greenwich, and walked three or four miles from Greenwich to Stamford, Connecticut along with his son Angell and Rebecca Heusted, and the families of Thomas Sherwood, Robert Feake, Richard Crab, John Coe, and the wife of Daniel Patrick to attend the wedding of Thomas Lyon and Martha Winthrop, who wanted to be wed in the English territory of Stamford, not in the Dutch territory of Greenwich.
Angell Heusted and his wife Rebecca, along with other friends, help with the birth of a baby by Elizabeth Feake. At this time Angell and Rebecca Heusted are also expecting a baby.
October 31, 1647.
Robert Husted his wife Elizabeth, Angell Heusted and wife Rebecca, along with the families of Thomas Sherwood, Richard Crab, Tobias Feake attend a Harvest Festival at the home of William and Elizabeth [Feake] Hallett, who were now "married". Elizabeth Husted brought sugar coated raisins and Rebecca Heusted brought loaves of wheat bread. They were celebrating the Harvest Festival to give thanks for the years crop havest and held it on All Hallows Eve to celebrate [Halloween]. Robert Feake had been "mentally unstable" and left for England, leaving Elizabeth. Elizabeth was not yet "legally" divorced from Robert under Dutch law, so William Hallett and Elizabeth [Feake] chose to marry each other using their own "vows of marriage". Later a legal Dutch divorce was granted and they were legally married, but with numerous legal problems in between times.
March 15, 1648.
Robert Husted still owns a small cabin by the Rippowam River in Stamford. When William and Elizabeth [Feake] Hallett are taken from "Dutch " Greenwich and placed in custody at "English Stamford" for not being "legally married" under English law, Robert Husted lets them stay in his unused cabin.
September 18, 1649.
When the town of Greenwich was still under Dutch rule, a letter was sent to the Governor of New Amsterdam, Peter Stuyvesant, with concernes that some Stamford people were trying to get Greenwich settelers to move to Stamford, in order to make Stamford a more profitable town. The letter was sent by four men from Greenwich: Robert Heusted, Richard Crabb, Thomas Sherwood and John Coe

Husted DNA
My DNA matches as a Robert Hustead 1755 descendant confirm quite strongly for me his lineage to David, Joseph, Angell Sr. I have no connections to Connecticut except the Husted line. It is almost virtually impossible that all these connections come through other ancestors.There other researchers who aren't convinced. If you are a descendant you can add to the knowledge base by having your DNA analyzed by ancestory.com.
Matches to DNA on ancestry.com and ftdna. Most ancestry are good or high for 5th to 8th cousin match. All are independent of my Hustead line. They are to five key families. If it were only one it might mean the connection was through an unknown ancestor but not all five.
To David Husted and Johanna Brundage through their daughter, Lydia 1737
To Joseph Husted through daughter Sarah married to Jonathan Mead
To Angell, Sr.Husted through Peter born 1713
To family of Sarah Seymour multiple matches with no connection to Hustead. There are four matches also to Sarah's grandparents, Richard Seymour and Mercy Ruscoe. They come thru different lines and none is connected to Husted.
To Matthew Marvin one through his daughter Sarah, Hannah's sister , one thru his son Mathew, seven through his nephew, Reinold who settled in Lyme.Most of these are good or stronger. To Elizabeth Gregory, Marvin's wife, several through uncles to grandfather John and thru her brother to father Henry.
To Brundage a sister, uncle and two separate brothers of Johanna all high or good confidence, several more moderate
To Johanna's mother possibility of three matches all to Bucks of Wethersfield, think her surname is Buck not Brock. Three of four matches are to Henry Buck and Elizabeth Churchill as parents. This leads me to think they are Johanna Brundage's parents. I find the Brundage connections most convincing.
Additionally Kit number 320690 belongs with Virginia group in Husted Y chromosome results; it has a match to the Michigan group marker YS481 . Donor is descendent of Robert 1755 through his son John . I think think this calls into question that there were two Johns with two sets of of sons.
MMPT39 is a match to the donor, long with several other Robert 1755 descendants and to two from Robert's brother, Moses.

Jeremy Kreiling, 25, of Hershey was jailed Thursday for an alleged sexual assault that happened three years ago.
The girl told investigators she was allowed to drink alcohol while she was at the house, and Kreiling, 23-years-old at the time, waited until his wife and children were asleep. She said Kreiling eventually stopped when he heard noises in the house.
She was 13-years-old then and is now 15, the sheriff's statement said.
Investigators questioned Kreiling Thursday evening at the Sheriff's office, but he refused to answer questions. He was charged and booked into jail.
In court Friday, Kreiling appeared humble and expressed remorse for the trouble. He said he is a ranch hand and he asked for a court-appointed attorney, but said it might be difficult to find one locally because of conflicts of interest from a similar case involving a friend of the girl.
Deputy Lincoln County Attorney Austin Leighty asked for a $500,000 bond, citing the age of the alleged victim. Lincoln County Judge Michael Piccolo agreed. Piccolo told Kreiling it was a high bond, but he could discuss bond at a later hearing after his defense attorney is appointed.
The investigation is ongoing, the sheriff said.

Dependents' Educational Assistance provides education and training opportunities to eligible dependents of certain veterans. The program offers up to 45 months of education benefits. These benefits may be used for degree and certificate programs, apprenticeship, and on-the-job training. If you are a spouse, you may take a correspondence course. Remedial, deficiency, and refresher courses may be approved under certain circumstances.
You must be the son, daughter, or spouse of:
If you are a son or daughter and wish to receive benefits for attending school or job training, you must be between the ages of 18 and 26. In certain instances, it is possible to begin before age 18 and to continue after age 26. Marriage is not a bar to this benefit. If you are in the Armed Forces, you may not receive this benefit while on active duty. To pursue training after military service, your discharge must not be under dishonorable conditions. VA can extend your period of eligibility by the number of months and days equal to the time spent on active duty. This extension cannot generally go beyond your 31st birthday, there are some exceptions.
If you are a spouse, benefits end 10 years from the date VA finds you eligible or from the date of death of the veteran. If the VA rated the veteran permanently and totally disabled with an effective date of 3 years from discharge a spouse will remain eligible for 20 years from the effective date of the rating. This change is effective October 10, 2008 and no benefits may be paid for any training taken prior to that date.
For surviving spouses (spouses of service members who died on active duty) benefits end 20 years from the date of death.
You should make sure that your selected program is approved for VA training. If you are not clear on this point, VA will inform you and the school or company about the requirements.
Obtain and complete VA Form 22-5490, Application for Survivors' and Dependents' Educational Assistance. Send it to the VA regional office with jurisdiction over the State where you will train. If you are a son or daughter, under legal age, a parent or guardian must sign the application.
If you have started training, take your application to your school or employer. Ask them to complete VA Form 22-1999, Enrollment Certification, and send both forms to VA.

KATIE Piper's a busy bunny at the moment. As well as juggling her charity and media work, she's preparing for the imminent birth of her first child, a daughter.
"I definitely feel my life right now is at a high point, compared to the extreme lows," she says, smiling.
And Katie's definitely had her share of extreme lows. It's almost six years since a stranger approached her in the street and threw sulphuric acid in her face, leaving the aspiring model severely scarred and facing endless operations.
The horrendous attack was organised by a man who'd assaulted Piper in a hotel room two weeks prior.
This is public knowledge because a year later Katie waived her right to anonymity to share her story in Channel 4's Cutting Edge documentary, the Bafta-nominated Katie Piper: My Beautiful Face.
Today she admits the decision to give up her privacy has had both positive and negative impacts.
"It's a majorly positive thing for myself and I'd like to think for other people with burns and scars.
I'd never moan about it because I'm really fortunate with all the support I've received and all the positive feedback. That's been amazing," says the petite 30-year-old, who lost the sight in her left eye due to the acid attack and is still undergoing treatment on scar tissue.
"But there's no day off once you've gone out there and spoken about that," she continues.
"People come up and talk about one of the worst things that's ever happened to me."
She has days where she'd prefer not to, but she'd never turn anyone away.
"You don't know whether they've been raped or attacked or have burns under their clothes. You don't know their story, so I think you should always give people the time because you don't know what it means to them."
Since the initial documentary Katie has appeared in various programmes, including Katie: My Beautiful Friends, Katie: The Science Of Seeing Again and Hotel GB – all for Channel 4. "They aren't afraid to push the boundaries," she says of the channel. "They're very edgy and it's nice to make stuff that I'm passionate about."
Recalling the moment she saw herself on TV for the first time, she adds: "That was quite hard to watch, because it's like clarification that you're disfigured – there it is in front of you. That was a strange feeling."
Given everything she's been through, the subject matter of her new TV project, Bodyshockers, might seem like a curious choice. It examines the craze for body modification.
Along the way Piper hears from those hoping to reverse procedures they now regret and others about to go ahead with major body work.
"In life you can't go around saying: 'Well, you chose that so however unhappy you are, that's your fault and you're stuck with it'. I don't think that's a very reasonable way to look at things," she says. "If it's stopping them doing serious things in life that we all want to do, then we shouldn't be dismissive of that just because they chose it at the beginning."
Piper believes the trend for ever more invasive and permanent modifications stems from the fact that people have to go further to make a statement these days.
"When I was younger dying your hair red was quite outrageous, but thankfully that washes out,"
she says, laughing.
In the first episode, My Tattoo Hell, she met a man, who returned from Magaluf with an unwanted holiday souvenir – a tattoo.
Then there's the Pink fan who had a huge tattoo of the singer done on his back. "It looked like Justin Bieber and he's desperately trying to laser it off."
While those might be humorous tales "there are people who've done stuff to fit in with a certain crowd.
Or they'd wanted a reaction from somebody, or to be a different person, and it's gone on to ruin their self-esteem", explains Katie.
The show isn't about "telling people off", the mum-to-be stresses.
Katie has experienced negative reactions herself. "I do understand people looking at visible differences, but I don't understand people being rude and asking intrusive questions. We don't do that to somebody in a wheelchair, or I'd hope people wouldn't," she says.
"I think that's why it's important to raise awareness of burns and scars, because some people don't know what it is or understand it, so they may say things that are inappropriate without even realising it."
It's why she set up her charity The Katie Piper Foundation in 2009 to help people living with burns and scars.
"It's thriving. We've got a team of five people working there full-time and what's really great is the ones who came to us for support in the beginning are actually helping as volunteers now."
Something else that's blooming is Katie herself – she's previously talked about how "blessed" she feels and her joy at finally having a good reason to go to hospital.
"It's very easy to say I want my child to grow up and be this or that, but I think the kind of parent I want to be is somebody who just guides, loves them and supports their children's decisions," she says of becoming a mum.
The pregnancy has meant that her regular treatments have had to take "a bit of a back seat".
"I have a lot of problems with scar tissue forming inside my nose so I'm still having treatment. But now I'm expecting my first child I can't have operations or anaesthetic and I'm finding it hard to breathe at the moment."
But it's a small sacrifice.
"I'm really enjoying what I'm doing as a career, I'm thrilled the foundation's going from strength to strength and personally in my life I'm at a point where I didn't know I'd ever be," she says happily.
"I'm really grateful."

even anandtech wrote about that: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7152 Reply
extide - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkYeah, probably just a typo. Kristian, can you confirm? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkYup, it was a typo. Looks like my brain was a generation behind MDX (it was used in the 840 and 840 Pro)... It's fixed now, thanks for the heads up :) Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkAnd again, LOL... I meant a generation behind the MEX. I guess this is a sign for me to get to bed. Reply
r3loaded - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkJust installed the newest firmware and newest version of Magician for the 500GB Evo in my desktop - how exactly do I go about activating TCG Opal encryption? Magician isn't very clear about this at all. Also, assuming this is all done in the firmware, would I be right in thinking it'll work seamlessly on both Windows 8.1 and Linux? (both are installed on this drive) Reply
A5 - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkFor Windows 8+, it should detect the HW encryption when you turn on BitLocker.
I don't know about Linux. Reply
r3loaded - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkTried that, wouldn't let me continue as I don't have a TPM chip. There seems to be very little documentation on what is clearly the most seamless, highest performance method of achieving full disk encryption. Reply
InsaneScientist - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkOpen the group policy editor (gpedit.msc > Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run as Admin)
Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Bit Locker Drive Encryption > Operating System Drives
Open the "Require additional authentication at startup" policy.
Enable the policy and check the box (under options) that says "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM"
Click OK, quit the group policy editor, and attempt to enable BitLocker again. It should work. :)
Note: as mentioned in the help info for that policy, if you want to require both a USB key and a password, you will have to configure BitLocker using manage-bde (command line) instead of the GUI wizard available through Control Panel. Reply
LS1 - Thursday, December 19, 2013 - linkHas anyone been able to get eDrive working right with the EVO yet? I gave it a shot and I believe I meet all the system requirements (UEFI with CSM disabled and Secure Boot enabled, Windows 8.1 Pro, BitLocker, etc.) but it still asks me if I want to encrypt only the used space or the entire drive (it shouldn't ask that if it's using eDrive from what I've read). Tried this on a Lenovo K410 Desktop without a TPM chip and on Lenovo ThinkPad T430 with a TPM chip without any luck...if it doesn't work on the business line T series ThinkPad then I don't know what will work or what I might be doing wrong? Reply
LS1 - Tuesday, December 24, 2013 - linkFinally got eDrive to work on the Samsung EVO but I had to install the Samsung Magician software and enable "Encrypted Drive" which instructed me to perform a secure erase and a clean install of Windows 8 which I did and it but I had to make sure the EVO was #1 on the boot order in UEFI/BIOS and also had to run "bcdboot %systemdrive%\Windows" from the Windows command prompt since I kept getting BitLocker errors saying "element not found". After it's done however the same problem as the Crucial M500 exists where the ATA security set is disabled and one CANNOT perform a Secure Erase on the drive and the Samsung Magician software doesn't allow you to set "Encrypted Drive" back to "Ready to be Enabled" or "Disabled". Reply
Compudoc00 - Tuesday, August 19, 2014 - linkI did the Secure Erase/Bitlocker thing on my Samsung 840 EVO and drive was self-encrypting using TPM. But then I updated a bunch of Fujitsu T904 drivers and now Bitlocker says it's not encrypted (including using the manage-bde -status command) even though when I boot I have to enter a Bitlocker Pin and Magician says Encrypted Drive=Enabled. I had set the Bitlocker group policy to require a Pin. Is it possible that the drive is no longer encrypted and the Pin is doing nothing other than satisfying the policy? Reply
Kristian Vättö - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkYou can't enable the encryption via Magician, the firmware update simply provides the support for it. In Windows 8, all you have to do is turn on BitLocker but in Windows 7 you have to use third party software. I'm not sure about Linux though. Reply
extide - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkSo... 1TB in 4 chips, that means in a 2.5 SSD with 8 chips on each side, you could have 4TB! That is double what you can get in the largest 2.5" HDD (which wont even fit in most laptops, being that it is 15mm tall!) Reply
MrSpadge - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkTo be fair, Seagate recently announced a Spinpoint 2 TB 2.5" HDD with 3 platters at 9.5 mm height. Yet flash obviously can "easily" surpass even this density (many more than 16 packages could fit into 2.5 ", 9.5 mm high, just need to use controller with more channels or more controllers). Obviously the cost advantage of HDD remains.. and shrinks in relevance. Reply
hojnikb - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkGood luck finding a controller, than can handle so much flash though. Reply
psc - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkI would like to know what the firmware upgrade adds with the statement "Optimizing TurboWrite algorithm" (from the firmware download page) ? Speed, endurance or both ? Reply
Alexvrb - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkI prefer others to be guinea pigs for firmware offering performance enhancements, myself. :D Although Samsung retail firmware is generally very good. I've only heard of a reliability issue with pre-release firmware.
I've got an 840 Evo, it's a really good entry level drive. If I really hammered my drive with writes, or kept it for much longer, I'd get a Pro. But I'll probably be replacing it with a ~500GB model in a couple years so it's more than adequate. :-D Reply
skiboysteve - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkI wish their samsung magician software worked for their OEM drives. I got the new XPS 15 haswell from Dell with the Samsung SM841 in it, 512GB mSATA drive... and their magician software says it detected a "SAMSUNG" drive but to use the magician software I need a SAMSUNG drive. Fail. Reply
thralloforcus - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkWould RAPID work if my Samsung 840 Pros are in a RAID 0 array through an LSI 9265-8i? I'm guessing not.. Reply
fokka - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkwhy not try it out and tell us? i've got embarassingly little experience with raid (read: none), but as long as the firmware is up to date and samsung magician recognizes the drives as 840 pros (or evos) i'd like to think that rapid should be available. Reply
silenceisgolden - Monday, December 09, 2013 - linkCheck out Tweaktown's channel, I think they interviewed that startup which is doing the die interconnects. https://www.youtube.com/user/camwilmot/videos Reply

DIYEyal - Tuesday, December 10, 2013 - linkAlthough RAPID is an awesome technology, we are not going to get such a big difference because the difference between MLC flash and SLC is much smaller than the difference between TLC and SLC, also SATA is still a bottleneck.. Still nice update and I'm all for it, although we can pretty much give an accurate assumptions about what the performance is going to be like (I bet the maximum dedicated SLC will be higher because on an MLC there are more cells than in TLC for the same amount of storage.
What a nice bonus! Reply
hojnikb - Monday, December 16, 2013 - linkdude, RAPID is a tottaly different tech, than what you're describing.
This is TurboWrite and 840pro ain't getting that. Reply
dgingeri - Tuesday, December 10, 2013 - linkRegarding that RAPID for the 840 Pro: I use an enterprise level raid controller for my system (LSI/3ware 9750-8i) with 512MB of memory. My main OS drive is a 256GB 840 Pro and my games are on a 250GB 840 EVO. Would it be useful to use that RAPID with this controller, or would it probably be useless or possibly even harm performance? Reply
junk430 - Friday, December 13, 2013 - linkKristian, at one point Samsung also promised edrive support for 840 and 840 pro drives. They seem to have forgotten about this and never said more. Have you heard anything, are they going to add edrive or not? Reply
hojnikb - Monday, December 16, 2013 - linkI think this TURBO thingy is kinda dumb on drives that fast. I mean, this would have been nice in early days with jmicron drives, which suffered from poor 4k speeds, but now it doesnt make much sense, except for benching. Also data integrety is affected, unless you're running ups or laptop. Reply
hojnikb - Monday, December 16, 2013 - link*I meant RAPID, not TURBO, silly me :) Reply

February 17: Ralph Lauren Jewelry
I loved the Asian influenced jewelry at the Ralph Lauren show. They added a really interesting and unusual touch of glamour to the collection. All of the green jade, bright reds, and black glossy onyx earrings, necklaces, belts, and evening bags added great texture and pops of colors when paired with the black ready to wear.

smartypnt4 - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkI'm not really sure what a tablet like this would look like, nor if it would be worth the money over a quad-core Bay Trail tablet... But I want one. Just because. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkIt'd probably look a lot like the MS Surface Pro; maybe a bit thinner because of the reduced power consumption allowing a smaller battery, maybe not because the Surface Pro had bad runtime for a tablet. Reply
smartypnt4 - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkIf only MSFT decides to throw this in there and cut the thickness of the Surface Pro. That may be a pipe dream, but it certainly sounds like an excellent idea to me. Reply
ImSpartacus - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkI kinda want them to hold the line.
I want the performance of a ~17W CPU. Surface Pro is already small enough. Reply
JPForums - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkI agree the Surface Pro is small enough, though the runtime is a bit short.
I'd rather they move to a more power efficient processor (not necessarily 4.5W), but maintain the chassis size. They could fill in the extra space from integration (and potentially smaller heatsinks) with more batteries. Reply
chizow - Thursday, July 25, 2013 - linkYes I agree about the short runtime on IVB Surface Pro, but this Haswell ULT/ULX part should fit the bill. If you read Anand's MBA testing, the Surface Pro really needs to get into that 10+ hour mostly idle runtime on a single charge. I think his 2013 MBA with Haswell got up to 18 hours. Regardless, you NEED to get through a full workday with your Surface Pro in various usage modes for it to become a perfect mobile work solution. Reply
sherlockwing - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkNot sure if there is enough performance difference between a $40-$60 Quad core Baytrail and a $300 5W Haswell to justify the difference in price. Reply
mrdude - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkI'm thinking that as well.
If you're going to fork over >$1000 for an x86 tablet with Haswell then presumably you want to be able to harness the CPU and GPU power it offers rather than be limited by the 4.5W SDP. I'm sure the battery life would be great at idle, but if you're going to sit at idle for the overwhelming majority of the time then why not get a Bay Trail chip?
It just seems like Intel is attempting to shoehorn their big core architecture into a package that it still has trouble fitting into Reply
flyingpants1 - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkNerds complaining about fanless Haswell tablets = priceless. Reply
Mondozai - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkNerds complaining about overpriced stuff formen its intended function.
FIFY. Reply
Qwertilot - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkThere isn't even any obvious logical reason to expect it to be faster than something specifically designed to hit this sort of power draw.
Do like this energy efficiency drive of theirs though. Smallish/silent desktops are a nice idea. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkYeah, there's absolutely no point for Intel to cripple its Core chips like this so they are only "slightly" better in performance than ARM chips (even 2x better is too low), while costing 10x more. OEM's don't even bother with Windows on their tablets, because the $100 license is too much and makes their sub-$500 tablets uncompetitive, and Intel thinks they will buy these chips from them to be able to make only $800+ tablets?
So far no tablet that cost more than even the big iPad has been even REMOTELY close to being as successful, and even Apple is starting to see people switch to the cheaper $330 iPad Mini - yet Intel thinks OEM's will buy chips that cost as much as the full iPad Mini tablet? Yeah, good luck with that Intel. The "good old days" of abusing your monopoly to force OEM's to buy your chips over the competitors are over. Reply
damianrobertjones - Thursday, July 25, 2013 - linkSome of your information does need a bit of research Reply
Thermogenic - Thursday, July 25, 2013 - linkOEMs don't pay anywhere near $100 to license Windows. Heck, I can go to newegg and buy an OEM version for less than $100, and my volume is just a single license. Reply
jwcalla - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkMy impression of Haswell is that it seems to be more bark than bite. Reply
jb14 - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkI would have liked to have seen one of these 11.5W Y series haswell cores in the recent Lenovo Yoga 11s laptop. Battery life would have been so much better than with the Y series IVB core they went for. Out of interest, Anand is the 11s interesting enough to warrant one of your reviews? Reply
Awful - Tuesday, July 23, 2013 - linkHaswell Y-series Lenovo Yoga 11 is pretty much my ideal tablet/notebook device. The sooner this is released the better! Reply
Visual - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkExcept, its far from ideal.
A detachable keyboard is better than a backwards folding one in terms of weight and convenience. Can be an acceptable compromise if it saves some complexity in the design and manufacturing, but is definitely not ideal.
But most importantly, an active digitizer is a must for anyone that has ever tried one. Reply
Thermogenic - Thursday, July 25, 2013 - linkYep, Surface Pro basically nailed most things outside of the battery life. Reply
kj_anandtech - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkI wonder why no comparison to AMD products kabini/temash. SOC parts with decent power envelope, low cost and sooner availability.
A temash/kabini dual/quad core with 1080p IPS, USB 3.0, and 3.5G/LTE radio/modem for ~ $500. Isn't that a good compromise? 17mm, 11" or less chassis. Reply
althaz - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkBecause they perform worse and use more power. Seeing as a lot of the comments you see here are people complaining that it's still too much power/not enough performance (and I agree on both fronts - i5 2Ghz equivelant performance at 2-3w is what we really want), you can see why AMD is not really in the picture at the moment. They are on the way, but simply trail Intel in every area except cost. At the moment, cost isn't the biggest issue for Core, it's power consumption, heat and performance. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkI imagine a Surface and a Razer Edge showing up with something like this. Otherwise, eh, I doubt it'll get much traction with OEM's. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkI thought Razer Edge was about gaming? This will get not only much lower CPU performance, but lower GPU performance compared to the notebook versions of Haswell, too. Reply
Krysto - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkThis is going to be so annoying. It's yet again another step for Intel in its recent crusade to mislead the public when it comes to comparing its chips against ARM chips.
How the hell are they even calculating the average? By adding 20h of idle time (close to 0W consumption), 4 hours of very low usage on-screen time, and 20 minutes of high usage? And then they get this "average" SDP number?
So what happens if instead of those 20 minutes of high usage that they calculate, I use the tablet for 3 hours continuously playing a 3D game or watching a high quality 1080p movie? Will I get 3rd degree burns on my hands?
Yeah, I'm exaggerating, but I think you understand where I'm going with this. Intel is going to be very misleading about how they calculate this "average", and it may differ a lot from how people will really use the devices with these chips inside, and real world average could be a lot higher.
The TDP is a KNOWN and good metric, because you know exactly how hot the tablet is going to get if it reaches peak performance. Intel is only messing with this to further mislead us about how good their chips are vs ARM chips. They're doing this because they're desperate and see the writing on the wall. Reply
ironargonaut - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkWhat is the TDP of an ARM processor? Reply
ironargonaut - Wednesday, July 24, 2013 - linkTried to answer my own question, since this is a "KNOWN and good metric". Found this "And then there's the 32nm Exynos 5, based on ARM's brand new Cortex-A15. From the get-go we've known that Cortex-A15 would be a monster — and indeed, it's the first ARM chip to comfortably outperform an x86 design from Intel — but at what cost? Anand's testing shows that the Cortex-A15 chews through power at an impressive rate, comfortably consuming more than 4 watts during load — and that's with Samsung throttling the CPU and GPU when it hits 4W; the actual TDP allows for up to 8W." http://www.extremetech.com/computing/144778-atom-v...
So, Cortex throttles to 4W, and if Intel throttles to 4.5W. Seems fairly even to me. Next question which has better performance at that wattage? Anyone got benchmarks of this? Reply
Alexvrb - Thursday, July 25, 2013 - linkThey can reduce power consumption slightly at best, otherwise they'll suffer from a performance regression. Reply
ant6n - Saturday, July 27, 2013 - linkI'd like to see a fanless ultraportable laptop with Haswell.
Why don't they put the cpu behind the screen so that the screen part of the laptop gets hot. That way the part that's sitting on the lap can hold the battery and stay cold. Reply
Kogies - Saturday, July 27, 2013 - linkI would love one of these stuck on a Thin-ITX motherboard. Low power and the possibility of a ramp up to higher performance would be great in a silent home server, Atom is not yet 64-bit and I can only imagine this may still have a greater dynamic range for performance than new Silvermont. Reply
towusop - Sunday, July 28, 2013 - linkSimple question alert! This article mentions 6W SDP and the 11.5W TDP. What do SDP and TDP stand for? Reply
purerice - Sunday, July 28, 2013 - link"scenario design power" and "thermal design power"
In terms of battery life, yes, SDP matters, because the majority of users spend most time either typing, or web browsing.
In terms of how much heat your CPU or SoC produces while playing a game, watching a video, or editing photos/movies, TDP may be more important. TDP is also more important for system manufacturers. Reply
Jaybus - Monday, July 29, 2013 - linkBoth are important to manufacturers. TDP affects thermal design. But SDP affects battery life, and so also determines case size and battery size. Bigger batteries are heavier and more expensive.
There are a lot of factors. If the Haswell can ramp up to 11 W and get a task done in 1 second that a A15 capped at 4 W would require 3 seconds to do, then they may both use similar amounts of power, but the user experience will be that the Haswell is "snappier". So both SDP and TDP are important. Reply

Collectors are a special type of scavenger found in the city of Sigil. They and their group focus on the recovery of bodies on the streets and understreets of Sigil. Their leader was Pharod until his slaying by the shades that chased the Nameless One.
After collection, a body, or "deader" in the cant of the Collectors, is taken to the Mortuary for disposal. Money is paid to the Collectors by the Dustmen, the caretakers of the Mortuary.
Appearance and SkillsEdit
Collectors are typically seen in nondescript gray or tan robes. They are lightly armed with daggers, and typically wear no armor. Their fighting skills are not even of the proficient level, though there are exceptions.
Collectors can be of any alignment, as corpses could care less who collects them. Sometimes, evil aligned Collectors attempt to hasten the death of a person, to collect a body that much sooner. Typically, these corpses are stripped of anything remotely valuable before their sale to the Dustmen.

Charles Dickens, in "Bleak House," coined a piercingly apt phrase for his time and ours: "telescopic philanthropy." In our time, it means doing good by dashing off a check or slapping on a bumper sticker (see "Free Tibet"). Others, however, are driven by the need to do more.
Few places in Seattle test a person's commitment to emotional risk in the name of serving others than the volunteer program at Seattle Children's Hospital, which houses 254 patient beds.
For those volunteers, the rewards run rich and deep. Spending three hours a week with sick children — some are terminal — not only gives worn parents a respite but brings volunteers from all walks of life together to share a difficult but rewarding experience rarely available in the busy world outside the hospital grounds.
The 24-acre, complex at 4800 Sand Point Way N.E. is such a Seattle landmark — it's easy to forget, or not think hard about, what goes on inside.
The hospital's still, calm center is its small chapel, a small room filled with natural light featuring stained-glass art, books of inspiration and solace and rows of chairs facing each other. On every third or so chair sits a box of tissue
Near the windows is the chapel's centerpiece: a big, blank book, big as a medieval manuscript, where people write messages.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you," reads one. "Thank you for another day," reads another. "Each day is more blessed than the last. (Name withheld) had a great day. Bless all those who are in need."
And this: "I love you, bro. Don't leave me. Not now."
Outside, above the chapel door in English and Spanish, is this message: "Peace to all who enter here."
Trading cruise berths for sick beds
The top reasons for hospital admission include asthma, chemotherapy, seizures and pneumonia. Volunteers, who fill three-hour slots once a week, play a quiet but vital role in this universe
Those hours can be stressful, emotionally draining and heartbreaking — 70 percent drop out of the program within the first year for a variety of reasons, but the difficulty of interacting with seriously ill children is one.
Alison Garrison, 50, manager of Seattle Children's volunteer services and its 725 volunteers, once worked for Princess Cruises. Garrison grew up in Bothell and remembers how, as a little girl, she accompanied her father to the hospital when he brought bunnies to show at Easter.
"You could do that then," she said, laughing.
Garrison started out as a volunteer and worked her way up to run the program, exchanging her focus from luxury, shipboard berths to the world of children's sick beds. She characterizes the initial meeting with a potential volunteer as "probably one of the most meaningful things to my job."
Garrison said a variety of motivations bring potential volunteers to the program: Some are former patients, and some are parents of former patients. Others have lost a child. There are those with no previous ties to the hospital. Almost 30 percent of the volunteers are University of Washington, mostly pre-med, students.
Volunteers have options: Some prefer no patient contact. The majority does, however, Garrison said. "Most volunteers we interview are usually suited for the position they apply for," she added.
Three hours of training, with 12 hours of follow-up, are part of the regimen. Each week, for their three-hour sessions, volunteers are paired up with a different child.
The hospital's game rooms — one for younger kids, and one for teens — are filled with age-appropriate toys and games, including computers.
Garrison said she hears all kinds of motivations from those who stay committed to the program: "I got to hold the cutest baby," or, "I was too tired or not in a good mood, but when I came here…."
"It puts things in perspective when you get that one little, special smile from a child who's had a difficult time," Garrison said. "Or maybe you've allowed a parent to take an hour's nap."
Phil Smart Jr., 93, the former Mercedes-Benz dealer, is the well-known poster boy for the volunteer program. In 2001, the World War II veteran self-published "Angels Among Us," a memoir of his four-plus decades of volunteer work at Children's. A sequel, "The Real Angels Among Us" came out in 2004. Book sale profits were directed to the hospital's uncompensated-medical-care fund.
The books are written in a style — chin-up, discerning and a universe away from hip cynicism — that very quickly wins the reader over.
Here is Smart on one patient: "I believe her gift was the way she taught me how to listen. Young people are expected to listen to adults, but more importantly, we must change the way we listen to them. April taught me to surrender my need to know the answers and listen from the vulnerable place of not knowing."
This, from one of Seattle's legendary captains of business.
"It's a privilege," Garrison said of her own work. "Maybe some days I get frustrated if my computer isn't fast enough. I can cross over the hall and see parents and patients or read the book in the chapel, and everything does a 360 in terms of what is important."
A grandchild saved
Seattle Children's mission is to provide health care to the children of the Pacific Northwest regardless of race, gender, creed, ethnicity, disability or ability to pay. It's also the primary teaching center and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Its support network — the guilds, the fund-raisers, the boards of trustees — permeates almost every facet of the city's culture. For all of the recognition and honors that have come Seattle Children's way, however, it's the individual stories that underpin the larger narrative.
Mary Jane Godejohn, 81, has volunteered for 25 years. Her grandson had spinal meningitis at 10 months; he's 34 now. "We wouldn't have him if it wasn't for Children's," Godejohn said. "They absolutely saved his life — that's why I am here.
"It has been the best experience I have ever had in my adult life," the former employee of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Census Bureau said of her volunteer activities. "It has taught me patience, how to be a better human being. You learn kindness, patience, tolerance."
It has also changed her way of being in the outside world: "I always say, 'Good morning. How are you?' to people, to let them know they're part of my world and that they're OK."
Godejohn's volunteer work at the hospital has covered numerous areas: volunteer orientation, the front desk and the family resource center. She has also worked with babies.
"It was very tough," she said of the latter task, recalling the time when she was asked by a family to take a bedside picture with them and their priest before life support was withdrawn from their baby boy.
On the other hand: "You can't get through a month here without hearing a wonderful story about a child saved. This place is called 'The House of Miracles,'" she said. "It is that."
It's the stories. And the random images.
Outside, in the December-afternoon gloaming of the hospital's parking garage, the shadowed figures of a young man and woman walk slowly toward their minivan parked in a long row of cars. The mother suddenly stops as he hurries ahead to open the van's doors.
Ten yards behind, she rocks the swathed bundle in her arms while he fiddles with the baby seat in back. Then she pulls the blanket back a little to reveal a tiny face in full. She begins kissing her baby, again and again.

DirectionsShow MapHide Map
As you find yourself in Riga, walk just 06 minutes from Central Bus station (350 m), or 08 minutes Central Rail terminal (450 m). We calculated time presuming you are carrying backpack :)) If you are fit and fast, cut the timings almost by half. Teddy's home hides just off a busy pedestrian street in the Old Town, Audeju iela. Get out - and you'll be immersed into the heart beat of every possible Riga's fun and happening. Need peace and rest - just head into XIX century arc with elegant stained-glass and you are in the calm and peaceful hide away.
How to find Teddy Bear hostel in Riga??
A few hints are below:
Head straight from rail/bus/airport stop to main street going into Old Town. That's called Audeju iela.
Pass Galerija Centrs (main mall in Old Riga) on your right and keep moving for another 2 minutes.
Small medieval street turning from Audeju to the left is your destination! It's called Vecpilsetas iela (sounds like 'Vets-pill-set-us').
Just 15 meters straight and turn right into the arch of building number 3 on Vecpilsetas street (the arch is just in front of the 'Pomodoro' restaurant).
That's correct place!
Green door with board 'Teddy Bear hostel' waits for you inside the arch, 20 steps inside the arch.
Warm welcome!
If coming by taxi, just say the address 'Vecpilsētas 3'. You'll be delivered within meters of the passageway (an arch) to the courtyard, go in and you'll see the entrance.

Ryan Callahan's hand examination revealed some healing, and the plan is for him to skate at the team's practice facility Sunday.
Now, these are the best quotes of the night:
Mats Zuccarello, asked about the difficulty of being so small:
"I've been like this for 23 years so I got a long time to practice being small. I don't know anything else. I don't know how it is to be big, so I have to use being small to my advantage."
Brandon Dubinsky, who was just on the other side of the net when Zuccarello fired an angled shot past goalie Cam Ward and up under the crossbar (and who retrieved the puck for Zuccarello):
"I thought it was going to hit me in the face and it went right into the top of the net, so it was a helluva shot. The kid's talented. He uses a stick that's longer than mine and that thing just whips and he can fire it. I don't know if he's going to score that (shot) 10 out of 10, but I like his chances better than mine from that angle. I'll tell you that much."
More Zuccarello:
"Dubi picked the puck up behind the net there and I knew I was going to get a chance out of it because he's so good at it. Both of their D-men were in front of the net and didn't (go) to me, so I just tried to shoot it top corner.
"What can you say. It's nothing other than unbelievable. A great feeling. So I can be happy tonight and be proud of that, but tomorrow it's practice and focus on next game. There's a lot of games here so you can't be flying on a wave now."
On the pass on Gilroy's goal:
"I just tried to find a little room there. Everybody just collapsed down. It was a great shot by Gilly. It was a great feeling to get that 1-0 goal."
On the first goal being a relief:
"I felt that I played good, so I haven't been that concerned about scoring goals. But I know that I need to create chances for my team. As long as we're winning and I create chances, I'm happy. But we had a couple of tough games and we lost. … so it was a great feeling to score on one of those chances for a change.
On whether the pass was to Gilroy, or intended for Derek Stepan, on Gilroy's goal:
"Just probably just, saw both of them and closed my eyes and hoped it would hit one of them."
Henrik Lundqvist:
On playing in a 1-1 or 0-0 game:
"The pressure's on, but I don't mind it. Halfway through I knew it was going to be a tight game, a low scoring game, so it's important to stay focused. I felt like the first goal was going to be very important. I thought we had the win there when we scored the first one. But they came back and scored a goal. The important thing there is we regrouped and we don't panic."
On mid-season:
"I feel really good about this team and the way we work. Everybody shows up every night to work really hard. We've been winning a lot of tight games because of that, I think. When you work hard, you'll get bounces and you can't win every night, but when you work really hard, you will definitely win more than you lose, I think. It's also fun to see everybody work that hard and blocking shots and standing up for each other. So it's a good feeling so far."
On the young players:
"My first year, I knew the start's so important to stay in this league and get confidence. A lot of times when you come up, technically's not the toughest part, it's mentally, to know you can play this game and make good decisions. So when you come up and work hard and it pays off and you play good games, and even score goals, for a new guy it's very important, especially for their confidence and to relax and just play their game. I know how they feel. I've been there myself."

5 New Products on the Marketby Toby Amidor in Food News & Trends, Gluten-Free, Healthy Tips, November 19, 2010
Dana and I recently attended the Food & Nutrition Conference and Expo in Boston, where we were introduced to many products just hitting market shelves. Here are the top 5 we recommend.
#1: Lay's Lightly Salted Potato Chips
Many food companies are reducing salt, including Lay's. Both their potato and corn chips are now available in "lightly salted" versions that contain 50 percent less sodium than the classic versions.
#2: Stonyfield B-Well Lowfat Yogurt: Berry Harvest
This new and delicious flavor contains live probiotics, a variety of berries and 10 percent of the daily recommendation of vitamins D and B6. Each 4-ounce container contains 80 calories, 1 gram of fat and 4 grams of protein, making it a great snack choice.
#3: Late July Vanilla Bean Sandwich Cookies
These cookies are made with green tea and dark chocolate, which means they contain some antioxidants (how much is tough to know). A pack of 4 contains 230 calories (not bad for cookies) and 160 milligrams of sodium (about 7 percent of the recommended daily amount). These cookies are delicious, but with 11 grams of fat (5 of those from saturated fat), they're a better choice for a once-in-a-while snack.
#4: Kinnikinnick Gluten-Free Bread Crumbs and Pizza Crust
Some friends who have celiac disease gush over this company, so when I passed their booth at the expo, I had to see what all the fuss is about. All the company's products are produced in a gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free, peanut-free and nut-free facility. The panko-style bread crumbs and pizza crust are two of the more popular items they sell. If you have a food allergy, this may be the company for you.
#5: Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Seasonings

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/3/2013 (1619 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg police are probing whether there could be any links between a sudden surge in brazen robberies -- including one that left a Good Samaritan critically injured -- which have targeted local businesses over the past week.
No arrests have been made following three separate heists at crowded locales this week.
The most serious robbery occurred early Friday morning when three or four men stormed inside Jeffrey's Restaurant and Lounge on Henderson Highway, just south of the Chief Peguis Trail, as it was closing about 2 a.m. The group was armed with bear spray and a knife and confronted staff members inside the lounge.
At some point, a customer tried to intervene and was attacked and quickly overpowered. The 38-year-old man was stabbed at least once while the suspects fled with cash.
Police and paramedics rushed to the scene and the victim was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition. His status was upgraded to stable later in the day.
Management at the popular North Kildonan hangout didn't return calls seeking comment on Friday and closed the restaurant until today. The stabbing victim is apparently a well-liked regular who was trying to help. No suspect description has been released by police.
Police were still investigating that crime when another armed robbery happened just a few blocks north on Henderson Highway Friday afternoon around 2:30 p.m. Police have released few details about the incident, but at least one suspect held up McGrath Diamonds inside McIvor Mall. There were no injuries.
A male suspect entered the store and tried to smash a jewelry case. The suspect stole a small amount of jewelry and then ran from the mall.
The suspect is described as Caucasian, in his late 20s and about six-feet tall with some facial hair.
Sources tell the Free Press it's highly unusual to have a midday robbery such as this, especially inside a shopping mall where there would be many potential witnesses. Money, and the drugs thieves and robbers are often addicted to and desperate to purchase, are typically the motivating factors whenever a surge in these types of crimes are seen in the city.
Members of the major crimes unit are taking a close look at similarities between the Jeffrey's incident and one that occurred last Sunday evening at the Boston Pizza on St. James Street.
At least two men armed with bear spray and a crowbar confronted staff inside the restaurant just after 10 p.m. They fled with cash in a waiting blue Toyota car parked outside. Police say both men were wearing dark clothing. There were no injuries.
Police are asking for public assistance in all three robberies. Anyone with information is asked to call investigators at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
Meanwhile, police said Friday they have arrested a suspect in an outstanding bank robbery that occurred just before Christmas.
Christopher Thomas Hastings, 26, was located on Wednesday in the Point Douglas area. He is facing several charges. A warrant was issued for Hastings shortly after the Dec. 20 robbery at a bank in the 1500 block of Kenaston Boulevard.
Police say three men burst into the bank and confronted tellers before fleeing with cash in a stolen pickup truck. Police quickly identified Hastings as a suspect, saying he was out on parole at the time. However, the investigation remains active regarding the other two suspects.

DETROIT - Detroit is one of 35 cities that has been asked to submit a bid for the 2024 Summer Olympic games.
Motown has played host most recently to big events like the Superbowl and the Major League Baseball All-Star game, but this would be an event of a much more massive undertaking.
Start up costs would likely exceed $3 billion dollars just to get things moving, and some living in the city, and in Metro Detroit, are skeptical it could work.
"The way it is now? I don't know. There would need to be partnerships that need to happen for that in Detroit," said Ann Mossington, of Macomb Township.
Detroit has had this opportunity before in 1968 when it made a lavish campaign to host the Olympic games. Detroit had planned campus housing and an Olympic Village at Wayne State University. A huge stadium was also planned at the fairgrounds, and a state of the art boating venue was proposed for Belle Isle.
In the end Mexico City won the bid by one vote leaving Detroit in second place in voting that year.
Flash forward to 2013 and some believe it would be just the thing the city needs to help rejuvenate itself.
"All the money it would generate, people would see Detroit and say hmmm, maybe I could come down here and start up a business," said Kelvin Cotton from Detroit.
"It would probably help boost the image and bring a lot of money into the city," said Mossington.
The mayor's office, and the Detroit Convention and Visitors Bureau have not said if the city will submit a bid or not.
Detroit would be competing with cities such as New York, Chicago, Boston, Denver, Dallas and San Francisco.

Mets look to callups to keep 'pen functioning
MIAMI -- Some teams look to September callups as a chance to give their bullpens much-needed breaks. The Mets looked at their 2014 callups simply as a way to keep their fractured bullpen intact.
With both Josh Edgin and Daisuke Matsuzaka back in New York nursing injuries, the Mets are using their small influx of pitching -- right-hander Erik Goeddel and lefty Dario Alvarez -- to avoid leaning too heavily on Jeurys Familia, Jenrry Mejia and their other healthy bullpen arms.
"We've still got basically seven guys in the bullpen," manager Terry Collins said. "It's not like we've got a lot of guys down there. But make no mistake ... they're the guys who are going to pitch. Those are the guys who are going to pitch when the game's on the line with a lead."
Edgin, who received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his sore left elbow on Aug. 25, has not responded to the procedure as the team had hoped. He will visit with doctors in New York this week before the Mets decide their next move.
Matsuzaka had trouble warming up in the bullpen over the weekend and will also see doctors in New York. Because rosters are now expanded beyond 25 men, the Mets did not need to place either pitcher on the DL.
