Ann Arbor's Cafe Marie establishes fund for longtime cook diagnosed with leukemia
Joseph Tobianski | AnnArbor.com
"Nobody makes eggs like Percy," said Patty Maher, who first was a customer before working at the cafe short-term earlier this year.
Jeanne Loveland, the owner of the Plymouth Road restaurant, said Pryor is the reason Cafe Marie has so many regulars.
"We have families that come in each and every week. People who I've watched their kids grow up," Loveland said. "And it's in part because (Percy) has it down to a science. People come back week after week because we can get them in and out, with good food, even on a really busy Sunday morning."
Pryor holds the restaurant together, echoed server Joe McMurray.
"He's completely patient and has this totally positive energy and attitude that keeps everybody working together as a team," McMurray said.
Now, in light of a recent diagnosis, the team at Cafe Marie has found itself trying to hold it together for Pryor.
On Nov. 18, after rarely missing a day of work in 12 years, Pryor was diagnosed with acute leukemia, a form of cancer of the blood and bone marrow.
Loveland said throughout the month of November she and the staff began to notice changes in Pryor. He was losing weight quickly and became easily run down.
Loveland, who views Pryor as brother, said she kept encouraging him to see a doctor.
"He's just not somebody who stops," she said. "He's a go-getter who loves to work. He'd tell me, 'Nah, boss. I'm gonna be alright. I'll tough it out.'"
Two Saturdays in a row Pryor had to leave the line, overcome by weakness and dizzy spells. The second Saturday Loveland insisted he go home to rest.
"It just so wasn't like him," she said.
The next morning, Loveland picked up Pryor and his lifelong companion, Rachal Potter, and drove them to the University of Michigan hospital. They called her a few hours later with the diagnosis.

"Mostly because I feel real good most of the time," he said.
The staff at Cafe Marie perhaps was more devastated. "It was like a sucker punch to the gut," Loveland said.
Once the initial distress wore off, the restaurant's staff began brainstorming how to help. The cafe also learned Pryor and his family lost their housing shortly before the cancer diagnosis and stayed with relatives in Ypsilanti and in a hotel for short period of time. Pryor and Potter have three children.
Pryor likely will need a bone marrow transplant and being homeless could cause him to be ineligible for the transplant. Loveland said stable housing is a requirement.
Potter has been out of work for a number of years now. Cancer has taken its toll on both the Pryor and Potter families.
Pryor's aunt and mother both battled cancer. His mother died as a result. And Potter's grandmother also was ill with a form of cancer, so Potter has been acting as a caretaker for their family members and now Pryor himself.
"Percy would be the last person to ask for help. That's why we're doing it for him," Loveland said.
Cafe Marie is asking its clientele for donations to help Percy and his family with housing, utilities, food, medical bills and other life expenses.
A fund, "The Percy Pryor Fund," was set up through the Ann Arbor State Bank. A website also was established at YouCaring.com and there is a donation box out at the restaurant.
Loveland said it's so difficult to watch Pryor go through this illness.
"Percy's has always been there for me," she said. "He is dedicated and dependable."
Loveland was a manager at the cafe prior to buying it. The restaurant first opened in 1993. In 2006, Loveland renovated the building, adding on a patio, more seating and fresh paint.
She said the cafe stayed open during the day and crews worked into the evening on the renovations.
"We had to leave the doors open at night to air out the paint for business the next day. And Percy always volunteered to stay up here overnight to keep an eye on everything," Loveland said. "It was so reassuring to me. With him up here, I knew nothing would happen to the place. I knew I could trust him. He has always had the cafe's back."
The waiters and waitresses said Pryor's generosity never stopped at Loveland. He also helped to move several of his co-workers throughout the years and even helped to install a hot tub for another fellow employee, they recalled.
Loveland said what has been most amazing and rewarding is seeing the outpouring of support, love and appreciation customers have shown to Pryor throughout the past month.
The staff first placed fliers around the cafe asking for donations on Dec. 15. In that initial weekend, Cafe Marie raised $867. Since then, the restaurant has raised more than $1,900. Its goal is around $12,000.
"It's been incredible to witness the impact Percy has had on people — in ways I didn't even realize," Loveland said. "And he did it all so quietly and so graciously. I have that much more respect for him."
At the restaurant, Pryor is known to say, "It can't get no better than at the Cafe Marie."
The "Percy-ism" usually refers to the food, but in his time of need, he said it about the people, adding everyone at Cafe Marie has helped him to stay strong.
"I've got good friends. A good boss. It's unbelievable what they're doing," he said.
And about his eggs, does he really make the best eggs in town?
"I do," Pryor said, with the hint of a mischievous smile blinking across his lips. "But I don't like to brag."

Breast cancer awareness month is more special to me this year than it has been the past two years. It was June 3, 2010, when my wife, Ara Lynett Shakeel, was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Actually, she was diagnosed with what I termed the silent killer of African-American women, triple negative breast cancer. African-American women are often diagnosed with a more aggressive form of breast cancer, and for that reason, they have a higher mortality rate from the disease.
My wife lost her battle to breast cancer on April 24. I'm now left to raise my 5- and 7-year-old sons alone. In trying to support breast cancer victims and their families, be cognizant of who you give your money to. Not all organizations are sincere in their efforts to raise money to find a cure for breast cancer.
Friends of Cancer of the Cape Fear Valley Health Foundation is a great organization to support. The Friends of Cancer provide direct support to families.
Although my wife has lost her battle to breast cancer, I will continue to support others who've been afflicted by this disease.
I would advise women to be efficient in doing self-exams and getting mammograms. Early detection may be the difference between life and death.
It never ceases to amaze me how elections, especially presidential, bring out the worst in us. I expect it from worldly people, but not from the so-called believers. It says somewhere that "A house divided cannot stand." I consider America one large house with many inhabitants.
How can we expect a president, any president, to bring us together when we citizens are so divided?
We look at someone in a different party as if the person is the enemy, not a member of the family with a different opinion. It's not helpful to call each other names. No party has a monopoly on truth, knowledge or wisdom. We must understand that we cause things to happen, and not a single politician. If we can unify behind a good idea, things will happen.
As long as we are divided, progress will not happen. We must understand that politicians are a power-hungry group interested in getting in power and staying in power. Motive must be considered whenever a person talks a good game about what he will do for us.
We can never bless the idea that anyone has to try to cause a leader at any level to fail just to keep that person from being successful. His success will help all of us. We need some unity.

LEGO blocks as art? LEGOs aren't a medium for art, they're children's toys…right?
"The Art of Brick" by New York sculptor Nathan Sawaya (http://www.brickartist.com/museum.html) is the first major museum exhibit of its kind to focus exclusively on the use of the popular LEGO bricks as an art medium. The show will be featured at the Children's Museum of Northern Nevada, 813 North Carson Street in Carson City from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., June 24 – Aug. 19.
Sawaya has had three exhibitions created solely from standard LEGO bricks from 2002 – 2010, with several new sculptures created specifically for each event. Each show has nearly one million colorful LEGO pieces transformed into whimsical and awe-inspiring creations.
Sawaya's devotion to spatial perfection and the way he conceptualizes action, enables him to elevate what almost every child has played with into the status of fine art.
Admission to the museum and the exhibit is $5 for adults (age 14+), $4 for seniors (age 55+) $3 for children (age 2-14) and free for toddlers under 2 years. Museum members are able to view "The Art of the Brick" for no additional charge.
For questions: (775) 884-2226, firstname.lastname@example.com or www.cmnn.org.

Tip Junkie | Laurie Turk
The What's What: Need last-minute party ideas? Or maybe some killer recipes to impress your in-laws (or your picky eaters)? Look no further than Tip Junkie, a website designed to make your day-to-day life easier. Part DIY-haven, part reader-driven content, Tip Junkie mama Laurie loves to promote the "little guys" (or girls) that may not have the resources to do it themselves. She encourages her audience to submit their own tips, including ones for her recent (and popular) feature "How to Date Your Spouse."
The Mama: Laurie Turk, a.k.a. the Tip Junkie, is a stay-at-home mama of three boys (each of which, she jokes, has made her "more girly"). And while she refers to herself as the "cruise director" of her family, Laurie is a mom-preneur all her own: Aside from running Tip Junkie, she has a personal blog (A Fabulously Flawed Life), and is also a co-founder of Chic Chick Media, a website that pushes her fellow mom-preneurs to be the best they can be through affordable advertising.

Like a real life Iron Man and X -- skeleton take a look at this big music is new technology to help paralyzed people.
Walk again doctor Marc Siegel went to mount Sinai to check it out.
Did you ever think you'd be able couldn't.
No but in my mind now is told myself that I work.
Even with a thousand doctors sometimes.
-- -- told myself and our own my son can remind me.
So I know -- back -- my feet.
Joining us now from the medical eighteen is doctor Marc -- so we want to get straight to this because this really is a medical miracle for so many folks all across the country.
Heather imagine what it feels like to be sitting in a wheelchair for years or on the bed and suddenly the next thing you know you're at eye level with someone again.
And many says that was a huge confidence builder for him -- changed his whole outlook on life and so how does this work how does it strengthen muscles well it actually started off with the military creating this -- that soldiers could.
Travel long distances with heavy backpacks.
And then the rehabilitation medicine doctors started using it it's an actual skeleton.
It doesn't put any weight on you with it it -- to your knees to your thighs it has motors it has.
Batteries it has a computer chip.
In a backpack that since two computer you initiated with your arms and then your legs move.
So it literally.
It creates a walking feeling.

Of missiles from around the biology cellular based researcher in the governor's -- features across the world.
So how -- are we talking about this technology being available for everyone out there who could really use it.
Both the thirty centers are currently using it -- including Vanderbilt which has a real lightweight version and I think over the next year or two it's gonna start becoming available for home use.
But the course is a bit prohibitive another 10240000.
And you know we're talking about this I think over time.
With more and more people using it and with the technology getting perfected it's gonna get less expensive says someone sitting at home right now they should really give them hope right if someone is sitting at home -- -- -- paralyzed -- had a stroke.

The Meters
The Meters
The Meters defined New Orleans funk, not only on their own recordings, but also as the backing band for numerous artists, including many produced by Allen Toussaint. Where the funk of Sly Stone and James Brown was wild, careening, and determinedly urban, the Meters were down-home and earthy. Nearly all of their own recordings were instrumentals, putting the emphasis on the organic and complex rhythms. The syncopated, layered percussion intertwined with the gritty grooves of the guitar and organ, creating a distinctive sound that earned a small, devoted cult during the '70s, including musicians like Paul McCartney and Robert Palmer, both of whom used the group as a backing band for recording. Despite their reputation as an extraordinary live band, the Meters never broke into the mainstream, but their sound provided the basis for much of the funk and hip-hop of the '80s and '90s.

BY LIZA STROUT - Westie Fest was held at the Gasparilla Inn Soccer Field on Sunday, Feb. 12, and it drew almost two dozen fluffy white balls of energy from far and wide. The dogs, ranging in age from 5 months to 17 years, gathered for the biannual event.

Melissa Heinemann is currently painting murals of island scenes on the walls at South Beach Restaurant. She has just completed the first section behind the stage, and will eventually cover more of the walls in the restaurant.
The Barrier Island Parks Society invites you to join them for the 16th annual Green Gala at Caesar's Palace on Friday, March 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Boca Bay Pass Club.
Members of the Lemon Bay Rotary are returning to play the part of croupiers who will be working the craps and blackjack tables, as well as the roulette wheel. The Saint Tone Band will play, and savory foods will be served, courtesy of Chef James Searle. A live and silent auction and a full bar, as well as a wine bar (cash only) will round out the night.
It will be a night fit for any toga-clad emperor or empress. Tickets are $100 per person, look for "Rat Pack" cards hidden around town beginning February 27 to obtain free prizes.
Call 964-0060 for more information.
The Strawberry Festival is right around the corner, and here is another item up for silent auction. Dinner for six at the Boca Grande Club, anyone? The item was donated by Bob and Carolyn Frederick.
The festival will be held on Saturday, March 3 from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will feature the annual boutique and bargain sale, children's activities, a wine grab and, of course, strawberry shortcake.
Patrick Chapin, the brother of islander Roger Chapin, returned to Central Florida recently after spending a week climbing, and then descending, 19,340-foot Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. More than 25,000 people climb the mountain, Africa's highest point, each year.
During the 20 minutes or so that Chapin's group was at the top of Kilimanjaro, he held aloft a flag with the name of Roger's daughter, 10-year-old Blair, and several other children who have Sanfilippo syndrome, an enzyme deficiency that causes developmental problems and ultimately results in dementia.
The flag featured the word "courage."

All household members and people in close contact with the pertussis patients must take preventive antibiotics.

"280: Welcome, Welcome, Sabbath Morning," Hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, no. 280
1. Welcome, welcome, Sabbath morning;
Now we rest from ev'ry care.
Welcome, welcome is thy dawning,
Holy Sabbath, day of prayer.
Loving teachers kindly greet us
As we meet in Sunday School,
Where they labor hard to teach us
By the Savior's golden rule.
Welcome, welcome, Sabbath morning;
Now we rest from ev'ry care.
Welcome, welcome is thy dawning,
Holy Sabbath, day of prayer.
2. Hark! the Sabbath bells are ringing;
Hear the echoes all around.
List! the merry children singing!
What a pleasing, joyful sound!
Ev'ry tender note entreats us,
Bids us come, nor longer stay.
On our way the music greets us;
Hasten, hasten, come away.
3. Here we bow in meek devotion;
Here we sing God's holy praise.
Here our hearts, with fond emotion,
Seek to learn his holy ways.
From the books of revelation
We are taught while yet in youth.
Words of heav'nly inspiration
Guide us in the path of truth.
4. Here we meet with friends and neighbors;
Parents too are in the throng.
We are earnest in our labors.
To God's kingdom we belong.
Trials make our faith grow stronger;
Truth is nobler than a crown.
We will brave the tempest longer
Tho the world upon us frown.

Survey Finds Endangered Species in Shark-fin Soup
Author: Kevin Spear
Source: Orlando Sentinel
August 8, 2012
"Imagine a bowl of steaming soup with succulent morsels severed from the tail of a cruelly slaughtered manatee.
It sounds awful but isn't far-fetched. Sharks are served in restaurants around the world in fin soup, even though about one-third of the 450 species are threatened with extinction. And there's no way for diners to know the type of shark they are consuming.
To find that out, shark-attack survivors associated with the Pew Environment Group, working with the Discovery Channel and researchers from Stony Brook University in New York, collected samples from restaurants nationwide as part of the largest survey of its kind."

Meet the Artist Who Blows Things Up for a Living
With ethereal artworks traced in flames and gunpowder, Cai Guo Qiang is making a big bang
- By Ron Rosenbaum
- Smithsonian magazine, April 2013, Subscribe
Internationally lauded "explosives artist" Cai Guo-Qiang has already amassed some stunning stats: He may be the only artist in human history who has had some one billion people gaze simultaneously at one of his artworks. You read that right, one billion. I'm talking about the worldwide televised "fireworks sculpture" that Cai Guo-Qiang—China-born, living in America now—created for the opening of the Beijing Olympics in 2008. If you're one of the few earthlings who hasn't seen it, either live or online, here's Cai's description: "The explosion event consisted of a series of 29 giant footprint fireworks, one for each Olympiad, over the Beijing skyline, leading to the National Olympic Stadium. The 29 footprints were fired in succession, traveling a total distance of 15 kilometers, or 9.3 miles, within a period of 63 seconds."
But a mere billion pairs of eyes is not enough for Cai's ambition. He's seeking additional viewers for his works, some of whom may have more than two eyes. I'm speaking of the aliens, the extraterrestrials that Cai tells me are the real target audience for his most monumental explosive works. Huge flaming earth sculptures like Project to Extend the Great Wall of China by 10,000 Meters, in which Cai detonated a spectacular six-mile train of explosives, a fiery elongation of the Ming dynasty's most famous work. Meant to be seen from space: He wants to open "a dialogue with the universe," he says. Or his blazing "crop circle" in Germany, modeled on those supposed extraterrestrial "signs" carved in wheat fields—a project that called for 90 kilograms of gunpowder, 1,300 meters of fuses, one seismograph, an electroencephalograph and an electrocardiograph. The two medical devices were there to measure Cai's physiological and mental reactions as he stood in the center of the explosions, to symbolize, he told me, that the echoes of the birth of the universe can still be felt in every molecule of every human cell.
Maybe there's the sly wink of a showman behind these interspatial aspirations, but Cai seems to me to be distinctive among the current crop of international art stars in producing projects that aren't about irony, or being ironic about irony, or being ironic about art about irony. He really wants to paint the heavens like Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Only with gunpowder and flame.
When I visit Cai (as everyone calls him, pronouncing it "Tsai") in his spare East Village Manhattan studio with a big red door and a feng shui stone lion guarding the entrance within, we sit at a glass table flanked by wall-size wood screens: his gunpowder "drawings." These are large white surfaces upon which Cai has ignited gunpowder to make unexpectedly beautiful black traceries, works of abstract art that remind one of the intricate signage of traditional Chinese calligraphy or those photo negative telescopic prints of deep space in which the scattered stars and galaxies are black on white. Violence transformed into ethereal beauty.
Cai, who looks younger than his mid-50s, fit, with a severe brush-cut of hair, is joined by a translator and project manager, Chinyan Wong, and we are served tea by a member of his artmaking collective as we begin talking about his childhood. He tells me a story of profound family sorrow during the Cultural Revolution—and the "time bomb" in his house.
"My family lived in Quanzhou, across the strait from Taiwan," he says, where it was routine to hear artillery batteries firing into the mist at the island the mainland regime wanted to reincorporate into China.
"These were my first experiences of explosions.
"My father," Cai says, "was a collector of rare books and manuscripts," and an adept at the delicate art of calligraphy. But when the Cultural Revolution began in the mid-'60s, Mao Zedong turned his millions of subjects against anyone and any sign of intellectual or elite practices, including any art or literature that was not propaganda.
"Intellectuals" (meaning just about anyone who read, or even possessed, books) were beaten, jailed or murdered by mobs and all their works burned in pyres. "My father knew his books, scrolls and calligraphy were a time bomb in his house," Cai recalls. So he began burning his precious collection in the basement. "He had to do it at night so that no one would know."
Cai tells me that after burning his beloved manuscripts and calligraphy, his father went into a strange self-exile, afraid that his reputation as a collector of books would lead to his death. He left his family home and found a perilous refuge in a ruined Buddhist nunnery where the last remaining 90-year-old devotee gave him sanctuary. There—and this is the especially heartbreaking part—"my father would take sticks and write calligraphy in puddles on the ground," Cai says. "The calligraphy would disappear" when the water evaporated, leaving behind, Cai once wrote, eloquently, "invisible skeins of sorrow." Not entirely invisible, one senses, but inscribed like calligraphy on his son's memory and heart.
His father's art echoes in his son's—calligraphy in water and now in fire. In using the deadly gunpowder, he is seeking to transform it from its lethal uses to the ethereal art of calligraphy. This is not just a vague concept: If you happened to find yourself outside the Smithsonian's Sackler Gallery this past December, you could have seen Cai ignite a pine tree with gunpowder packets on the branches and transform it into an ethereal tree, a tree-shaped tracery of black smoke etched into the sky by black gunpowder ink.
Instead of his father's Marxism, Cai says, his great influence was Chinese Taoist spirituality. Feng shui, Qi Gong and Buddhism play a role as well, their roots intertwined. He has written of a shaman he knew as a youth who protected him, and of his search for shamans in other cultures. "Spiritual mediums," he tells me, "channel between the material world and the unseen world to a certain degree similar to what art does." And he sees his art serving as a similar kind of channel, linking ancient and modern, Eastern and Western sensibilities. Feng shui and quantum physics.
He still believes in "evil spirits," he says, and the power of feng shui to combat them. When I ask him about the source of the evil spirits the stone lion is guarding us from, he replies that they are "ghosts of dissatisfaction." An interesting reconceptualization of evil.
For instance, he tells me that he was working on a project that involved the microbes in pond water, but brought it to a halt when a shaman warned him that "the water might contain the spirits of people who might have drowned or tried to kill themselves in the pond."

This Element is an excerpt from Save Your Retirement: What to Do If You Haven't Saved Enough or If Your Investments Were Devastated by the Market Meltdown (9780137029006) by Frank Armstrong III and Paul B. Brown. Available in print and digital formats. Think the unthinkable! Why you simply might not want to retire (it's not just about the money). Could it be that the financial shortfall you are experiencingâdue to the financial meltdown, your inability to save enough, or some other factorâis actually a good thing? It could be if it forces you to think about the following sentence: ""Maybe I don't want to retire."" It's not as strange a thought as it may first sound....

Hi folks,
I have the chance to purchase a RacerMate II Challenge cart, dongle, top loader, bike mount, etc. for what I believe to be a pretty fair price. It is almost identical to this one:
But it doesn't come with the dog bone controller. There have been numerous threads about the cart alone and where it came from and what a fair price would be for the cart and dongle, but how much would be a fair price for the complete set? Is there any reason why this game does not appear in the rarity guide and how rare is it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am tired of the colour pink.
This has nothing to do with Valentine's day fatigue, and I definitely don't have anything to do with Senes' of any kind. I am tired because that's the flavour..er…colour of the season. Not so much the unsold pink hearts and V-day merchandise but more pink slips due to this seemingly endless recession, and our "Pub going Loose and Forward women" a-la- Munnabhai style taking pink slips of another kind to a completely new level!

Am I wrong when I presume it is just a stop gap processor for folks that want a bit more power from their aging pc's ? Price is reasonable but if I am about to build something new or upgrade then the intel2500 and p67 mboard would at least be more sensible.
I don't know why Omega is wasting time with this Mhz bump processors. I am an AMD guy and I don't even keep track of these releases. I would like to see a TPU review of the E-350 as both an HTPC and a laptop processors. Yeah I know it beats Atom by a bit in CPU and destroys it in Integrated GPU, but what about the i3-2100's IGP? What about power consumption in a low power scenario like an HTPC? And I would like to know how it overclocks if at all. No review so far has even dreamed of trying to OC an E-350. Why?
Looking through those graphs it makes you realise just how good those 2500k processors are.... amazing. And still near the bottom with pwr consumption. I personally think you would be crazy to buy deneb at this stage. Unless its 2nd hand off ebay. lol
I wouldn't put it like that. As you may have noticed, there are some changes in hardware used for testing, as well as some new benchmarks since last batch of reviews. At first it was planed to update the benchmark suite and testing methods with Sandy Bridge launch, which I have failed to do miserably, despite all the problems we had that were "out my hands". The delay enabled me to fine tune the benchmark suite, find the right methods and settings to run benchmarks without bugs or non consistent results, which is a real pain in the ass when you have 20-30 completely different benchmarks and measurements to do with +30 CPU samples, and then on top of that add "omega made an error" factor. Just an example, after hundreds of runs on 3DMark 11, few days ago I found out that all of my Phenom II X4 SKU's results are about 100-200 points less than they should be. It ain't much of a difference, but if you don't correct it from the start, the errors tend to multiply to a point where benchmark results are no longer valid. With last benchmark suite I had to scrap 3-4 benchmarks, because i discovered bugs in results after almost 6 moths of testing. I hope this suite will hold out without any loss of benchmark results, in fact, I'm working on adding PCMark 7 and Crysis 2 results in there. But, back to your statement. This Phenom II review is a familiar ground for me, as we have done more AMD (thanks to their great support) reviews than Intel. So it was a lot easier for me to create a review template, and graphs template with this kind of review, rather than something like SB/APU/HTPC review. This enables me to finish up other reviews in shorter time, and lack of spare time has been a big problem for me last few months. Now that we broke the ice on new benchmark suite, I'm really hoping you'll have a chance of reading CPU reviews more often. So would I As I said above, time is the only problem now. Next up are few of Sandy Bridge SKU's, and if there's any time left before Bulldozer launch I'll try to make yours and mine wishes come true
Core i3 2120 is for sure far better choice than Phenom's for gaming and more singlethreaded oriented workloads. But quad core Phenom's still offer almost double the performance of Core i3 2120 in environment where multitreading matters. Not that I'm defending Phenom. The Deneb core is showing its age at every step, and it does look rather outdated compared to Sandy Bridge, but let's not judge processors just by gaming graphs. There are far more important tasks CPU's do for you than improving your gaming experience by 5-10 frame rates
Its good to know you overhauled the testing software suite to improve accuracy and reliability. I am currently working on becoming the AMD for Futurelooks.com, so I may get around to some of that before you though I doubt it. My guess is I will get the chance to confirm your results first hand soon after the fact. Who knows, a year from now we maybe PMing each other information about strange results in test. lol I hope you do get around to the E-350 because I really want someone to put it through the ringer instead of all these pre-product reviews and people just testing them at stock with stock cooling on Gigabyte's power hungry mobos. I still love Gigabyte boards, but if you are going to make the statement that they are power hungry....then were are the tests for the chip on other board brands?
Great review as always but I have to wonder if the overclocking was held back at all with such high temps, as far as i know an as far as i can find AMD lists the max safe temp as 62c for most phenoms. I know it's only 16c above the stated max safe temp, but it makes me wonder, say a GPU with a max safe temp of 95c was run at 111c it would probably shut down as those are insanely hot but 62c is not even hot enough to pasteurize so I'm not exactly sure where the heat issue plays a part with such low rated temps for the phenoms.
Power consumption on Idle for these top tier phenom II X4 chips is amazing considering they're a couple generations behind intel, it's only 2 watts more than the core i5 2500! Load power is a bit dissappointing, but you can undervolt these chips quite a bit from stock and save considerable amounts of wattage. Like you said it's crazy to buy these chips now for brand new systems, but as an upgrade later on (which I plan to upgrade from my athlon II X2 250, eventually) these chips still have a lot of life left in them.
Current System Mobo: M2N-SLI DELUXE (BIOS Flashed) CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3.2Ghz Dual Core Mem: 2GB DDR2 GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX PSU: Corsair HX620 Hi guys, first post here but have read the reviews over the years I'm thinking of buying one of these to upgrade my old BF2 rig so it can play BF3. I'm thinking of coupling it with either an MSI ATI Radeon HD 6870 OR Asus GeForce GTX 560. My Budget is £300 so think i'm limited with what i can upgrade to gain maximum performance for BF3 without the need of a smaller upgrade down the line. Any thoughts?

B+ (B Positive) About Life
B+ (B Positive) is not just a blood group but should be a way of life for everyone
I have recently looked at the area of positive psychology, which is one of the foundations of coaching. Life is topsy-turvy for all of us and I find that we will be more at peace with ourselves and positive about life if we focus on things that generate authentic happiness.
I would like to share some pointers to authentic happiness in the spirit of spreading positive energy to everyone who reads this blog. Many of the things I have written are simple action points and could be in the realm of common sense. But as someone said, common sense is often not that common and therefore, I went ahead with writing this blog.
However, before delving into the to-do list, I feel it is important to distinguish between optimism and happiness. Optimism is being hopeful about the result of a future event. So our happiness becomes linked to an outcome and we run the risk of being disappointed. Moreover, our happiness could become dependent on other people's actions, which obviously is beyond our control. Authentic happiness comes from doing things we are passionate about and where we draw pleasure from the activity itself and not its outcome. As Greg Anderson, best-selling author and founder of the American Wellness Project said "Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it"
Here are 10 things that you could do to tap positive energy in your life:
Remove negativity – The first step is often the need to get past the negativity around you. This is easier said than done when you are in a crisis. But it is very important to minimize the post-mortems of problem situations and remove the drama of all negative emotions from your life in order to create space for positivity to enter your life. One way of doing this is to stop looking at the rear-view mirror and look at the road ahead of you. A wise person once said: "The reason your front windshield is so much bigger than the rear-view mirror is because you need to look ahead far more than you need to see the past"!!
Use the "Pause" button – It is equally important to always keep in mind that we always have a choice how to react to any situation that confronts us. It doesn't have to be the instinctive reaction to any stimuli and one needs to insert a "pause" button between stimuli and reaction, where we stop for a moment and respond in the manner that is most effective for us. We need to evolve from being reactive (which is instinctive) to acting responsibly. As Aristotle said: "Anyone can become angry – that is easy, but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way – that is not within everyone's power and that is not easy"
Focus on your passion – "If you don't do what you love, your heart dies a little everyday" - Tom Shadyac (director of the documentary "I Am" on human connectedness, happiness & the human spirit). All of us have areas that we are passionate about whether it is work related or a hobby, sport or leisure activity. If you are not passionate about anything, start exploring new ideas and find some areas you could be passionate about because they are huge boosters of your positive energy.
Learn something new – I recently started learning to play the keyboard and every practice session is hugely therapeutic to create positive energy for me. I believe that we should never stop learning and there is no retirement age where it comes to learning something new. So find new things to polish up those grey cells in your brain every few months!! As Einstein said "Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death"
Energize your goals – Creating challenging & tangible goals for your aspirations is another way to create positive energy. But there is a risk that these goals may fall on the way-side, just like our New Year resolutions, because other things gain priority in our daily routine. One of the things I do with all my coachees is to energize their self-made goals. The energy is created by focusing on the major positive longer term benefits from by achieving the goal. E.g. one of my coachees was out of work and struggling to find a new role. So his obvious immediate goal was to get a suitable job – not easy when one is laid off in tough market conditions. In order to energize the goal for him, I probed on the longer-term benefits of getting back to work and one of major positive consequences was that he would be able to start constructing his home. Therefore, we constantly focused on the dream home as a way of energizing his goal to find his next job role
Plan in small steps – When we have a very challenging task or goal at hand we can become overwhelmed and negativity could creep in. In such situations it may help to break-down the goal into small stepping-stones that lead to the goal and focus on achieving each step keeping the overall goal in mind as well. That way we will be able to maintain our excitement and commitment to achieve the goal
Create sparks – One of the techniques I use is to get my coachees to commit to a few easy to achieve actions in the first session so as to create sparks of positive energy early in the process. Some examples are: a long overdue fun activity with your children; calling up an old friend out of the blue; getting back to an exercise routine; organizing a small get-together with friends, surprising your spouse with a gift outside of any occasion, etc. The purpose of these actions is to create sparks which then can be tapped to create more positive energy. So find something easy to do which has a positive outcome – it could be helping someone or being nice to a complete stranger or complimenting someone who least expects it. Spread the positive energy around you because it always reflects much brighter and the universe starts to conspire in your favour. "When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream" - Paulo Coelho
Recount your blessings – This is not easy to do when things are going badly for you. One way of bringing back positivity in your life is to close your eyes, take a few deep breaths and start recalling all the things you are fortunate to have and within a few minutes the positive energy will start flowing back into your system. I know some people who spend 5 minutes every morning doing this exercise and it is their daily morning prayer of thanksgiving. An adapted quote I like to keep in mind is: "Nobody ever went blind looking at the brighter side of life. Spend a few minutes every day just visualizing life being better. It will help reduce stress, generate ideas on what you need to do to improve the situation and indeed make your life better"
Everything happens for the best - I do believe that everything happens for the best, no matter how bad it may seem when it is actually happening. As they say, hindsight is always 20:20. Therefore, I suggest that when you want to get over a crisis, look back at some difficult situations that you faced in the past where you felt very depressed or angry while the situation was occurring and later you thanked your lucky stars that it happened that way and not any other way. And then use these memories to create the belief that the crisis you are in is really a blessing in disguise
Tap energy from family and friends – You may feel the need of family and close friends to perk you up from time to time. If you just need a few sparks of positive energy from someone to re-ignite the positivity in your life and then can keep the fire burning after that, then it could be OK to use this method selectively. However, if you are unable to sustain the positivity then clearly there are some deep-rooted issues that need sorting out and you may need to see a qualified therapist. Also, if you constantly need others to reignite your positive energy, they are going to feel sapped and you run the risk of losing your friends in the process. So use this method as a last resort only
Hope some of these pointers are helpful for you, especially during those times when you need to bring back positivity in your life
If you felt some positive energy while reading this blog, please take a few moments to pass the blog along to all your friends via email or by sharing it on LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter. Am sure that the positive energy you generate by sharing this with others will come back to you from a direction you least expect!!
As always, would love to receive your feedback and comments. You can email me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com as well

This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2007) |
Cruel and unusual punishment is a phrase describing punishment which is considered unacceptable due to the suffering, pain, or humiliation it inflicts on the person subjected to it.
These exact words were first used in the English Bill of Rights in 1689, and later were also adopted by the Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution (ratified 1791) and British Leeward Islands' Slavery Amelioration Act (1798). Very similar words, "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment", appear in Article Five of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations General Assembly (A/RES/217, December 10, 1948). The right under a different formulation, "No one shall be subjected to [...] inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." is found in Article Three of the European Convention on Human Rights (1950). The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (1982) also contains this fundamental right in section 12 and it is to be found again in Article Four (quoting the European Convention verbatim) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (2000). It is also found in Article 16 of the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and in Article 40 of the Constitution of Poland.[1] The Constitution of the Marshall Islands, in the sixth section of its Bill of Rights (art.2), prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment", which it defines as: the death penalty; torture; "inhuman and degrading treatment"; and "excessive fines or deprivations".[2]
United States[edit]
The Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution states that "cruel and unusual punishments [shall not be] inflicted". The general principles the United States Supreme Court relied on to decide whether or not a particular punishment was cruel and unusual were determined by Justice William Brennan.[3] In Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972), Justice Brennan wrote, "There are, then, four principles by which we may determine whether a particular punishment is 'cruel and unusual'."
- The "essential predicate" is "that a punishment must not by its severity be degrading to human dignity," especially torture.
- "A severe punishment that is obviously inflicted in wholly arbitrary fashion." (Furman v. Georgia temporarily suspended capital punishment for this reason.)
- "A severe punishment that is clearly and totally rejected throughout society."
- "A severe punishment that is patently unnecessary."
And he added: "The function of these principles, after all, is simply to provide means by which a court can determine whether a challenged punishment comports with human dignity. They are, therefore, interrelated, and, in most cases, it will be their convergence that will justify the conclusion that a punishment is "cruel and unusual." The test, then, will ordinarily be a cumulative one: if a punishment is unusually severe, if there is a strong probability that it is inflicted arbitrarily, if it is substantially rejected by contemporary society, and if there is no reason to believe that it serves any penal purpose more effectively than some less severe punishment, then the continued infliction of that punishment violates the command of the Clause that the State may not inflict inhuman and uncivilized punishments upon those convicted of crimes."
Continuing, he wrote that he expected that no state would pass a law obviously violating any one of these principles, so court decisions regarding the Eighth Amendment would involve a "cumulative" analysis of the implication of each of the four principles. In this way the United States Supreme Court "set the standard that a punishment would be cruel and unusual [,if] it was too severe for the crime, [if] it was arbitrary, if it offended society's sense of justice, or if it was not more effective than a less severe penalty."[4]
Capital punishment[edit]
Some people feel that capital punishment is inherently cruel and unusual punishment.
For most of recorded history, capital punishments were often deliberately painful. Severe historical penalties include the breaking wheel, boiling to death, flaying, disembowelment, crucifixion, impalement, crushing, stoning, execution by burning, dismemberment, sawing, scaphism, or necklacing.[5]
