I also had the honor of working with Ellen years ago at Johnson and Johnson. She was actually my trainer when I started as a new sales representative in the late 1990's. I have often thought of her and smiled. She was a wonderful, caring woman who left a lasting positive impression on me. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We miss you
The Buechels
I first met Ellen when by chance, we were in the same group hired to do speaker training in Atlanta. We discovered we knew each other from West Caldwell where Jack and our daughter, Chloe were in elementary school together and we soon became friendly. Ellen was an amazing person - impressively intelligent, deeply caring and always had a smile on her face and a kind word for others. She never failed to place the emphasis of a conversation on the person with whom she was speaking. We will deeply miss her. Our hearts are with you during this time of sadness.
We are all deeply saddened by the news of Ellen's passing. We never saw her without a smile on her face. Our prayers and thoughts are with the entire family. Peace be with you all.
My deepest sympathies to the Maguire and Payne families. I knew Ellie through her sister Sue. I remember her mostly as a kid, always smiling and involved in Irish dancing. I know how much her family cherished her, and can only imagine the incredible loss you are all feeling. Please accept my condolences.
We are deeply saddened and we would like to offer our most sincere condolences.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this difficult time.
To the Maguire & Payne families:
My deepest sympathies on the passing of Ellen. Having gone to high school with her and college, I can attest to her amazing spirit and infectious laughter.
Rest in Peace Ellen.
Kerri Wilkinson Fiore
To the Entire Maguire Family:
I am a friend of Susan Maguire Dale. Because of Susan's immense love for each her family - I have over the years - felt a special connection to each of you. I had the privilege of meeting Ellen at Susan's wedding, and we thought it funny that we were both "Payne's". I distinctly remember her big smile and eyes (that matched her delight).
Please know that I hold your sorrow in my heart during this time...and when you are simply unable to pray know that I am doing so in your stead. Know that friends like me are near to sit with you and listen to your quiet if necessary, but God is the great listener and healer of all.
Love and peace to each of you
Janine Payne
Mitch and all of Ellen's family.

Love, Rae Anne Hughes-Pavlovic
To Mitch, Susan, Tom, and the entire Maguire and Payne families:
I remember clearly the first time I met Ellie. It was the 1990s and my very good friend Susan had said to me, "Wait until you meet my sister, Ellie. You will love her." Ellie did not disappoint. We were out in Georgetown in DC, and we laughed and laughed and I felt a special bond. When I met Mitch, I felt the same about him. By knowing Susan as well as I do, I was able to keep up with the happenings in Ellie's life. Susan -- the love and caring you have always shown for Ellie are inspiring to me. I have enormous respect and love for you. May God bless you, Mitch, and your families, now and always.
With love,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved wife, mother and sister. I have come to know JP's family over the years while working together with her, although we've never met. Please know that you are all in my prayers.

The nation's Poorest, Richest States by Household Income
Steve Goldstein / MarketWatch / September 17, 2013
The average American household earned $51,017 in 2012, which basically was unchanged from 2011
If you're going to be average, be average near the heart of the federal government.
The latest Census Bureau data shows that Maryland, the District of Columbia and Virginia all are in the top five in median household income. While they have a crazy-looking flag, Marylanders pulled in $71,836 per household in 2012.
Compare that to Mississippi, where the median household brought in just $36,641 — just over half.

ASCE releases new study detailing the economic consequences of failing to invest in America's infrastructure
ASCE / PUBLIC WORKS / January 22, 2013
Reston, VA – Improving the condition of our nation's aging roads, bridges, power lines, sewer systems, ports and waterways is critical to protecting 3.5 million jobs according to the new American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) report, Failure to Act: The Impact of Current Infrastructure Investment on America's Economic Growth. Between now and 2020, investment needs across key infrastructure sectors total $2.75 trillion, while planned expenditures are about $1.66 trillion, leaving a total investment gap of $1.1 trillion.

A Giant Statistical Round-up of the Income Inequality Crisis in 16 Charts
Derek Thompson / The Atlantic / December 12, 2012
Now we are engaged in a great tug-of-war over a few points in the top tax rate in Washington. But even if the White House pulls hardest, it won't amount to much of a victory for the long-suffering middle class. The sources of their income stagnation are too deep, too varied, and too long-term for Clinton-era tax rates to cure them.
"There is a huge amount of focus on progressive taxes in our policy world but progressive taxes are not much of a solution to this," said Lawrence Mishel, president of the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. "We need to get unemployment downRead More

|Patent application number
|DETECTING A FOREIGN BODY APPLIED TO AN INPUT MEANS USED FOR AUTHENTICATION - The apparatus for detecting a foreign object mounted in the near range of an input means used for identification and/or authentication includes at least a coupler. The coupler is arranged to supply an oscillating signal to two input terminals of an antenna for generating a standing wave, to supply the oscillating signal with a predetermined level to a detection device, and to couple out, for the detection device, a reflection signal received by the antenna. Furthermore, the coupler is arranged to detect a phase difference between the supplied oscillating signal with the predetermined level and the reflection signal that is coupled out, in order to detect the foreign object.
|METHOD FOR OPERATING AUTOMATIC STORAGE SYSTEMS FOR DISTRIBUTING OBJECTS TO A PLURALITY OF PERSONS, AND AUTOMATIC STORAGE SYSTEM DESIGNED IN A CORRESPONDING MANNER - The invention relates to a method for operating automatic storage systems (
|FOUNDATION SYSTEM FOR RECEIVING THE LOAD OF A HOUSING OR OF AT LEAST ONE HOUSING MODULE OF A SELF-SERVICE MACHINE - The invention relates to a foundation system (
|METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELECTRICALLY CONTROLLABLE TECHNICAL DEVICE AS WELL AS A CORRESPONDING CONTROL DEVICE - The invention relates to a method and a control device (
|CONFIGURATION OF MACHINE PROCESSES - The invention relates to a method enabling a user to create, edit, monitor and/or optimise the overall machine process of a programmable machine or system assisted by a graphics editor. The programmable machine or system is initially put together as a system of individual machine units which are involved in the overall machine process during certain times by running a number of partial machine processes. These partial machine processes of the machine units involved in the overall machine process are firstly synchronised with one another once they have been set up and parameters are then set for them. All of the aforementioned method steps take place in a two-dimensional process diagram created by the graphics editor, in the diagram area of which all the partial machine processes involved in the overall machine process are plotted by means of assigned process symbols. The process symbols are positioned or repositioned by the graphics editor so that they are arranged in a machine component dimension based on their assignment to a machine unit and in a time dimension based on the synchronisation of their associated partial machine processes with other partial machine processes of the same machine unit or with partial machine processes of other machine units.
|CABINET WITH MULTI-COMPARTMENT CABINET BODY - A cabinet provided with a cabinet body having at least one vertical row of superimposed compartments which are separated by shelves and which can be opened and closed with compartment doors articulated on the cabinet. This invention simplifies and substantially reduces the cost of parts and of mounting the cabinet. Thus, a joint rod extending over a height of the cabinet body is assigned to each vertical row of compartments. The shelves are guided by a shoulder in the hinge zone having the joint rod and are fixed vertically on the joint rod by flange sleeves overlooking the upper and/or lower side of the shelves and their shoulder. The compartment doors which are adjusted to the heights of the compartments bear, on their rear surface, in the hinge zone, housings for the flange sleeves and can be covered with a shroud. The compartment doors can be installed, via the housings, on the flange sleeves oriented towards the compartment shelves and can be pivotally fixed on the flange sleeves by shrouds mounted on the compartment doors.

Where have the years gone?Posted Monday, February 7, 2011, at 4:10 PM
I just love a good birthday party...and what makes it even more enjoyable is when all of the grandchildren are able to attend!
Hard to believe that Maddy Rose turned two already. The years seem to pass by so much more quickly then I remember them to in my early years. Is it an age thing or is the calendar actually spinning out of control? I am hoping that it is the latter because the age excuse scares me a bit.
I can't recall the last time when all 8 little girls were in the same room...and no it isn't because age has affected my memory; well not in this case anyway. There are those cousin favorites, you know the ones that you would rather hang out with, while the others are ignored and at times even picked on by the best buddies; well there was none of that. It was so great to see the older girls all play together, as the younger ones all hung out. Well not to say that an eight month old and a two year old can pal around, but they did bond too!
Girls are funny creatures and after raising four of them, I know far well how mean and spiteful they can be at times. But none of that was evident at this birthday party, they all hung out and played in the pool, hung out as they ate, and then back to the pool. It makes a grandma proud when there are no arguments to settle or whining to listen to because someone was picking on someone. I was so very proud!
The reality is that they are growing up. That in itself saddens me. With the eldest being nine and the youngest at this time eight months, it baffles me a bit. Where did the years go? Just yesterday the first was the baby, and now, youngest baby Morgan is army crawling and standing up as if she is ready to take off and keep up with the older ones. Don't get me wrong, I love bonding with the older girls, now that a real conversation is possible. But then again I love being able to hold the little ones and get those sloppy kisses that the infants so freely share.
Great birthday party, filled with play and laughter and for me, life doesn't get any better than that!

My goal in my own personal development is to not only lose weight, but to tone up and gain strength. Whenever I say I need to lose weight, people roll their eyes because I do not look heavy; however, my body hides weight very well and I weigh more than I would like to. I know I can look better and be healthier. So hopefully, my end result will be to post a picture that doesn't just show a woman with a nice body, but to show a woman with strength, who has pushed herself further than she ever thought she could. =)

The gradual uptake of outsourced technology and cloud computing is driven in part by cost and flexibility. Lately though, the argument in favor of service providers is increasingly one of maturity and core competency: Who, after all, is better suited and more efficient in filling a particular IT, software or process need? Rob Sullivan, senior partner and co-founder at management and technology consulting firm Navint, talked with Information Management about the cycles of change brought to bear by adoption of software and infrastructure services in the cloud.

Poll: Should Zelda move on to full voice acting?
If they can do it Half-Life style where everybody but the protagonist talks, I'd be fully on board with the idea.

Coming up: Assassins Creed 2, Pokemon Platinum

That was outrageous pointless.
Like one of the previous posters said, Nintendo has been doing a great job with voice acting lately. Zelda can easily benefit.

There was an interview with the new director of Zelda right after Skyward Sword came out where he discussed this. He said they never want to give Link a voice in order to better maintain the feel that the player is Link. He discussed that they might give voice to the rest of the cast, but that if they did it could make the fact that Link doesn't have a voice stand out more than it does now with text only.
And he'd be wrong, as it's been attempted numerous times with successful results.
And you're on a message board, where we communicate through text, telling people to stop being lazy and read? Really?
Zelda has becoming more cinematic with more emphasis on storytelling and dialogue, and the lack of voice acting is beginning to stand out more and more and more. Skyward Sword greatly suffering from it imo. Twilight Princess to a lesser extent.
Unless Zelda dials back completely on the story (which I would not mind) it needs voice acting.

For everyone except Link, definitely. I think voice acting is one of the reasons the series is beginning to seem "outdated" in a way.
Pokemon Black- FC: 0003 3185 8262
Monster Hunter Tri, ID:71YAXZ -EU Server!
Nah, Zelda games are not fit for voice acting. The games define themselves with very few character development to leave as much to the players imagination as possible. That especially goes for Link and characters directly tied to the main plot. If they had actual voices, it would take away the freedom of imagining specific character traits which are never taken up on.
Also, the plots themselves are a bit too simple to justify voice acting - it wouldn't go well with the atmosphere of focusing on exploration and creating your own adventure rather than doing it by the book.
"Evil, beware. We have waffles..."

I think they should eliminate the story entirely. It's unnecessary at this point. We all know what's up when we play a Zelda game, so just get me in the damn dungeon already.
The next Zelda should have a choice for the tutorial... I don't want another WW/TP/SS disaster, waiting an hour to get into the actual game. :/
Stories are so irrelevant to gaming, and yet people keep insisting that games are like books, or something.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC)—One of the most powerful law enforcement officers in the country, FBI Director James Comey, spoke out about Alexis Murphy, the Nelson County teen who's been missing for just over a month.
Comey says he's been briefed on the case and his agency is working with local law enforcement to get it solved. Monday afternoon—in an extremely rare setting—he met with reporters to discuss this and other important issues facing the country.
"We have resources—particularly forensics and laboratory resources," Comey said on his agency's search for Murphy. "The FBI is doing in that case what it does and will do in cases all around the country and that is help."
Comey spoke about Alexis just three days into his new job as seventh director of the FBI. He takes the position as the NSA is being scrutinized for wiretapping and gathering information from Americans.
"I happen to believe that that power is being used responsibly, but I want people to challenge it and ask questions," Comey said.
The FBI faces several challenges. Comey says right now the biggest is the possible sequestration, which he says will reduce 3,000 positions and force all his employees to take unpaid time off.
"I can't imagine that if we've charged people with protecting their fellow citizens that it makes sense to send them home and tell them you can't work for two weeks without pay," he said.
Comey says he looks forward to serving Virginians—and all Americans—and is open to hearing from those with questions or concerns.
"I think that it's important for people to ask questions about how the government is using its authorities," Comey said.
On Monday he met with local law enforcement leaders, who say the FBI is a huge help to their agencies.
"They help us in so many ways, particularly with their laboratory work," said Hanover County Sheriff David Hines. "They can help us on major cases."
Chesterfield County Chief Thierry Dupuis said, "We hang our egos at the door when we come in. We talk through problems; we get it done."
Monday's visit to Richmond wasn't Comey's first; he served as the managing assistant U.S. attorney for five years back in 1996 and says Richmond is the best place he's ever lived or worked.

Well, that was quick. Just two months ago, Land Rover unveiled the DC100, a concept that, it said, previewed the next generation of eco-aware, modern Defender.
And now here it is: a shiny new Defender, closely accompanied by a press release bearing strange, foreign words like 'refined', 'efficient' and 'diesel particulate filter'. A rapid turnaround indeed.
Actually, it isn't. As you have no doubt spotted with the aid of your eyes, this is not an all-new Defender. This is a very gentle revision of the nearly-seventy-year-old original Defender, lightly massaged and treated to a DPF see it through the new Euro V emissions regulations. The old 2.4-litre diesel has been downsized to 2.2 litres, with power and torque staying unchanged at 122PS and a bovine 360NM. CO2 emissions are down (to a still-less-than-saintly 295g/km for the longer-wheelbase versions) and economy is up.
Fear not. Despite this dangerous talk of efficiency, the calloused Defender hasn't turned into a prim, moisturised, modern SUV. OK, there's a new acoustic engine cover to reduce noise, but beyond that, this is the trad Defender: heavy-duty suspension, ladder chassis, driving position straight out the 1950s.
Though the new engine is a huge improvement on the old unit, doing its work far more smoothly and chuntering quietly rather than bellowing throughout the cabin, it's still a hairy old thing by the standards of modern turbodiesels. This is an powertrain more suited to hauling a bison from a bog than hauling down the M6, a car that regards 'Noise, Vibration and Harshness' as goals rather than flaws.
Euro V compliant it may be, but most will still view the Defender as an irrelevancy in a world of monocoques and turbocharging and the ability to have a conversation with your front seat passenger while travelling at 60mph. Let them. This is still an extraordinary machine with truly staggering off-road ability: despite submerging our Defender up to its windowline in a muddy river, it continued to plug cheerily along. What else, bar perhaps a Hilux, could do that?
For the vast, vast majority of the world, a car's ability to conquer a Himalaya probably ranks some way below, say, a turning circle tight enough to allow you to negotiate mini-roundabouts. And, with not a crumple zone in sight, it's best not to consider what'd happen to a Defender in the event of a fast crash with something large and unyielding: a wall, say, or a Scotsman.
But for those who require a mechanical beast of burden, there's little to match the old Defender. These tweaks may not transform it into a faddish 21st century SUV, but they're enough to allow the Defender to survive until 2017 when, even the most ardent Land Rover sources concede, it will die – likely replaced by something much closer to the DC100 than this pig-iron masterpiece. This is the end of the line.

The good die evil.0 Reviews
Crystal, a fallen angel, normally keeps herself alone, until Xavier comes along and ruins her plans.
She had been transferred to this school recently and everyone already knew her name. She was the most popular and most feared girl in the school, girls wanted to be her, boys wanted to try their luck with her. Crystal wasn't actually interested in any of them, she didn't even want to be at this school, but seeing as her incident with her old school had her kicked out, she didn't have much choice.
She missed all her old friends at her ex school and her best-friend, and the only guy in her life that never let her down. Kyle. He was the type of person everyone assumes would get in a lot of trouble and be really hard. Only she knew the real Kyle, the Kyle that she loved to see, the one that could play guitar and wrote her stupid little songs. The one that made her smile even when she felt like throwing herself off a cliff. She loved the way he looked as well his big green eyes, his soft golden brown hair, that fell just on one of his eyes. His amazing cheekbones. His lip stud that got him suspended from school for two weeks. Just him as a person. He was the only person she really talked to, and he actually listened. She missed being with him. She loved him. She never told him that, she wished she had. She always wondered if he felt the same but was to chicken to ask him. And now it was too late. He had all the girls after him. She knew he was picky with his girls, though, as she was with boys.
Crystal looked up again. Fifty minutes left. How long did people need? It was only a simple test. Physics was way too easy for her. If only everyone knew how much of a geek she really was. The truth was she was top set in every class she had ever been in. Everyone thought she would never amount to anything and she proved them wrong. She doodled on her arms drawing the daisy chain she wanted tattooed. She would probably going to get done this weekend. With multiple other tattoos she could easily make it as 18. She also had multiple piercings, a tongue bar, belly bar, nose stud, scaffolding in her left ear and seven rings in the other ear. She loved decorating her body with art and piercings. She wanted to be perfect she was already freaky enough without clothes on so with clothes on she needed to be perfect.
She closed her eyes and rested her head on her desk going to sleep…
Xavier picked up his gun placed it in his holster and put on his shirt. He looked at the photo of the girl smiling at the camera. His next assignment. She was just like all the others. Amazingly beautiful, a smile that could make the coldest of hearts warm. Shame she would be dead soon. He looked at the photo again. He had to do a double take. She had the most amazing eyes. She wasn't like the others in that aspect. They all had dull dark eyes. Hers were bright green and vibrant. He traced the outline of her lips. This one would put up a fight he could tell just by her appearance. This would be fun.
Slowly, Xavier started up the car he was so in love with. A cherry red ferrari. He pulled away from his house and started to stalk his next assignment. He turned over the photo. It read: Xavier , I have a very pretty present for you. This one is a Crystal. Remember her name. See you later, babes. Chiffon. X. He sighed to himself. He would have to do a lot of work to get close to this one. She was like a beautiful stone hard to crack open but once you did it was amazing. He went to the school she was at. Great they where in a test. No doubt, like the others, she aced it. There was about ten minutes left he would wait for the bell and follow her home. Observe her behaviour learn how to get close to her. Analysis her.
He heard the bell and saw about a hundred girls he would love to follow home before he saw her. She really was beautiful. And she knew it. All the boys crowded her as she walked. Whistling and saying disgusting comments. She ignored them until one boy stood in front of her and tried to touch her. She punched him in the face and held his arm behind his back then shoved him against the wall.
"if you ever touch what you cant afford again, this isn't the only thing that will be broken off,"
The boy whimpered slightly. All the boys backed off from her slightly following her from about ten feet back. He followed her in the shadows almost till her house till she stopped. She looked around and seemed to look straight at him. He sunk against the wall hands in his pocket head down and one foot on the wall. She looked over at him and then carried on her journey. He took a back road to her house and waited on the roof of her room till she came home. He herd the door open and close.
Crystal looked around her room, seeing if anyone was watching her. She hung her bag on the end of her bed sat down and looked at the collection of notes from Kyle she kissed the photo of him on her desk and began to get changed.
Her long black wings took place behind her. Her nails suddenly grew sharp and her normally short blonde hair turned a midnight black colour. She put on her dress that she wore around the house. Her family had all died when she was young and she lived alone.
She spread her wings wide enough to touch each of the walls either side of her. Her lips slowly curled to a smile as she slashed her own wrist with her long talons she drank her blood and her eyes turned a dull dark colour. She licked the wound and drained the liquid from her arm.
Xavier looked at Crystal's transformation and took in a breath as he saw her wings spread. She was beautiful in every sense of the word. Her long dark hair fell over her black feathery wings. He wanted to reach out and stroke them but he knew that would compromise the entire mission. He wound back his shoulders and fought the urge to leap into the room and kiss her. He saw her slit her wrist and drink. A rain drop slowly slithered down his back. His pupils grew three sizes as he saw the blood trickle down her chin. She had her eyes closed now and her arm had started to drain fully.
He slit his own wrist to drink and her eyes snapped open. He quickly hid behind the clouds forming at her window. She had smelt his blood. Brutally, she smashed through the window. She hissed into the clouds and reached out, almost touching his chest. He wished she could see him. He flew away using the clouds as a shield from those gorgeous green eyes.
