Vaida Rennie now knows who allegedly murdered her 45-year-old son, Robert, six weeks ago.
"I'm glad they finally got everybody involved," she said.
Friday morning, police arrested three men from Keeseville. Paul Taylor, 39, is charged with second-degree murder. Michael Rivers, 36, and Scott Denno, 19, are charged with manslaughter. All three are also charged with gang assault.
"We have reason to believe the victim was sought out," N.Y. State Police Capt. Robert LaFountain said.
Investigators would not say why they believe the three men killed the construction worker in the middle of the night at a pull off at the top of Mill Hill in Keeseville back in August.
"The victim was severely beaten and kicked. The defendants were wearing boots, one of the defendants steel-tipped," LaFountain said.
Investigators say after the beating, Rennie walked about a quarter of a mile in the direction of his home, but he only made as far as a foot bridge over the Ausable River, where he died from his injuries.
"He would still be here," his mother said.
Vaida Rennie is furious Paul Taylor was out of jail to begin with. Back in 1996, he was arrested for beating a man to death in Port Henry. Originally charged with murder, he later accepted a plea deal for manslaughter. He served 13 years and was just released from prison two years ago.
"It will make the sentence he could face more severe," Essex County District Attorney Kristy Sprague said.
Regardless of the jail time any of the men face, it still means Robert Rennie's two young daughters will now grow up without their father and their mother. Their mother died a few years ago due to health problems.
"We really can't make sense of a lot of it, wondering why it happened," Vaida Rennie said.
Even with the arrests, it's a question that will remain unanswered for the time being.
Taylor was held without bail. Rivers and Denno were held on quarter of a million dollars bail.

Anya Jenkins (born as Aud) is a fictional character created by Joss Whedon for the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She also appears in the comic book series based on the television show. Portrayed by Emma Caulfield, the character appears as a guest star in the third and fourth seasons of the show before becoming a series regular in the show's fifth, sixth, and seventh seasons. The character made her last television appearance in 2003, appearing in the series finale of the show that aired on May 20, 2003.
|Buffy the Vampire Slayer character|
Emma Caulfield as Anya Jenkins
|First appearance||"The Wish" (1998)|
|Last appearance||Own It (2016)|
|Created by||Joss Whedon|
|Portrayed by||Emma Caulfield|
|Classification||Vengeance demon (formerly)|
Superhuman physical attributes, teleportation, telekinesis, invulnerability.
Within the series' narrative, Anya was originally a human named Aud, but spent over a thousand years as Anyanka, a vengeance demon, wreaking havoc by granting the wishes of women who had been wronged by men. The character becomes human again in her first appearance, and is forced to learn what it means to be human again in subsequent episodes. Primarily, this is used by the writers for comic relief; Anya has a very poor sense of what behaviors are appropriate, and speaks very bluntly and honestly. However, the writers have also used this for more poignant purposes, such as when Anya finds herself struggling to deal with death. Flashbacks show that Anyanka's manner was much the same before she became a demon. Over a decade after being killed in the series finale, Anya returned as a ghost in the canonical comic book series Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten.
Anyanka 'Anya Jenkins' was born as Aud in the 9th century in Sjornjost, a small Scandinavian village. Aud grew up raising rabbits and became an outsider in her community, which dismissed her as "odd", because of her strange mannerisms and out-of-the-ordinary ideas (such as not wanting to sell the rabbits she had been breeding, but instead giving them to people in the village as gifts). She eventually falls in love with the boorish Olaf, a Viking warrior who enjoys hunting trolls and drinking at the bar. In 880, a furious Aud discovers that Olaf has cheated on her with a bar matron named Rannveig, and takes her revenge on him by using magic to transform him into a troll. Aud had previously used magic against her past lovers as well, casting spells to create boils on the penis, for example, but this act of vengeance against Olaf attracts the attention of the demon D'Hoffryn, who offers to transform her into a vengeance demon for scorned women. D'Hoffryn gives Aud the new name Anyanka, Patron Saint of Scorned Women, and a pendant which gives her the power to grant wishes.
Around 1199, Anyanka goes to the Koskov valleys above the Urals to curse an unfaithful man. She witnesses a sorcerer's Ascension into pure demon form. The death and carnage — only a few people survive — shock even her. Around 1580, Anyanka meets (and dates) Dracula, and later is in Salem, Massachusetts, during the witch trials of 1692.
In the 19th century, Anyanka becomes a close friend and fierce competitor of the vengeance demon known as Halfrek, whose specialty is avenging wronged children. They spend time together during the Crimean War. Anyanka impresses "Hallie" with a granted wish in Saint Petersburg, Russia, that sparks a revolution in 1905. In 1914, Anyanka travels to Chicago, Illinois, to exact vengeance on a man named Stewart Burns, turning him into a demon and sending him to a hell dimension to be tortured for all eternity.
Storylines as a recurring characterEdit
Anyanka arrives at Sunnydale High in 1998 (in the episode "The Wish") as a student named Anya Emerson. She's come to Sunnydale in response to the distress of Cordelia, who is upset after catching her boyfriend, Xander Harris, kissing their friend Willow. After some prompting, Cordelia states: "I wish that Buffy Summers had never come to Sunnydale." Anya shows her true demon face to Cordelia and says, "Done." and the world changes. Now they're in an alternative reality in which Buffy has not come to Sunnydale and the vampire population has multiplied and gained in power. Giles meets with Cordelia before she dies and manages to discern what has happened. He subsequently summons Anyanka and destroys her necklace. As a result, Anya is made mortal again and the world returns to normal.
Caulfield said, "As far as I know, I don't think Joss Whedon ever intended to have Anya around for more than one episode." However, Anya returns in the episode "Doppelgangland", duping Willow into assisting in a failed magical attempt to recover the necklace which was her power center, lost when Giles destroyed it to reverse the wish granted for Cordelia. When these efforts fail, she is forced to continue living as a typical high school student. Now with human feelings, she yearns to attend the school prom in spite of her abhorrence of all men; ironically, her only hope for a date is the last man she was sent to punish, Xander. Caulfield says, "[Whedon] found this great way to have her interact with the storylines that had developed throughout the entire [third] season."
Anya develops feelings for Xander and asks him out again just before graduation. Even though Xander showed no interest in Anya. Her romantic plans are foiled when he tells her of the Mayor's plan for his own "Ascension", a transformation into pure demon, at the graduation ceremony. Anya decides to flee Sunnydale and invites Xander to join her, saying when she thinks something could happen to him, she "feels bad inside, like [she] might vomit". Xander refuses because he's got "friends on the line", and can't abandon them. She leaves without him.
Anya returns to Sunnydale early in Season Four, still infatuated with Xander. She seduces him (in the episode "The Harsh Light of Day"). Her lack of experience with people causes her to make straightforward, often tactless remarks, which soon put her at odds with other Scooby Gang members, especially Willow, who has little trust for the ex-demon. Anya's tactlessness is played both for humor and to highlight the truth in situations where others are reluctant to be frank. This is seen most poignantly in "The Body" when her inability to comprehend Buffy's mother's death leads to inappropriate remarks which at first make others angry, but then allow for catharsis and comfort.
Storylines as a regular cast memberEdit
Anya becomes a regular in Season Five of the show. While playing The Game of Life, she discovers her love for money and capitalism (as opposed to her belief in Communism during the early 20th century and her charitable attitude of her years as Aud). Anya's budding retail skills encourage Giles to hire her as a cashier at The Magic Box. In the episode, "Checkpoint", Anya is questioned by members of the Watchers' Council, and invents the full name Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins, and claims to have been born on the Fourth of July in Indiana.
During an impending apocalypse, brought about by Glory at the end of Season Five, Xander proposes to Anya and they are engaged for most of Season Six. Xander's doubts grow, however, and it is not difficult for Stewart Burns - escaped from Hell and impersonating Xander's future self - to persuade him to leave Anya at the wedding by showing him an illusionary life where Anya apparently cheats on Xander and is later killed in an argument between the two ("Hell's Bells"). Grief-stricken, Anya is vulnerable to D'Hoffryn's coaxing, and becomes a vengeance demon again.
In the Season Six episode "Entropy" Anya returns to Sunnydale. The audience can see her as a vengeance demon but the other characters are unaware until "Villains". Anya cannot find anyone who wishes vengeance on Xander and so she takes comfort in sex with Spike, an act which puts her relationship and friendship with Xander and Buffy in jeopardy. Spike nearly wishes for some kind of vengeance upon Xander, but after seeing how much her actions hurt him, Anya stops him, unable to go through with it. In the Season Six finale, Willow destroys The Magic Box, leaving Anya jobless in the mortal world. Anya does not enjoy her return to being a vengeance demon—her experience as a human has led to empathy, which makes exacting vengeance too painful for her to manage. She spends a summer granting half-hearted wishes and gains a reputation among demons as "Miss Soft-Serve".
When asked what direction she would like to see Anya's character go, Emma Caulfield said she hoped that in Season Seven Anya would become "kind of a badass". Caulfield said that Anya has always been strong in unorthodox ways, but "I'd like to see a more blatant display of her strength." Appropriately, after Halfrek encourages Anya to return to her former level of work, Anya exacts a terrible vengeance on a group of college boys by unleashing a spider-like Grimslaw demon on them. This results in a battle with Buffy, in which they are almost evenly matched. The battle is interrupted when Willow shows up and summons D'Hoffryn. D'Hoffryn asks Anya what she wants, and she asks that her vengeance be reversed. D'Hoffryn tells her the price will be the life of a vengeance demon; Anya agrees, assuming it is she who will die, but D'Hoffryn summons Halfrek, incinerating her before Anya. "Never go for the kill, when you can go for the pain" he tells the distressed Anya, and strips her of her powers, making her once again mortal.
Anya decides that she has been too dependent on others and resolves to find an independent purpose in life for herself. She eventually rejoins the Scooby Gang as Season Seven focuses on the long fight against the First Evil and eventually becomes friends with Xander; although Xander and Anya still love each other, they never officially resume their relationship.
In the series finale, "Chosen", Anya fights with the others in the climactic battle against the First Evil and is brutally slain from behind, bisected by a Bringer's sword. Her body lies in the school's remains although Xander attempts to locate her while fleeing the collapsing building. After Sunnydale collapses into the Hellmouth, Andrew Wells comforts Xander by telling him that Anya had died saving his life, to which Xander tearfully replies, "That's my girl, always doing the stupid thing."
In an interview with Buffy The Vampire Slayer/Angel magazine #93, Emma Caulfield stated that she was okay with her character's abrupt death, stating, "She didn't get a big, maudlin send-off, it was very quick and to the point - very Anya in that respect." Although later, at Wizard World Philadelphia 2009 she said she didn't realize it was going to be abrupt and without fanfare, and would have appreciated a little something more.
Joss Whedon joked at the Nocturnal convention in 2001 Anya was originally supposed to die during the Season Five finale, "The Gift", but he had to keep her alive because Emma Caulfield couldn't keep still while Xander was carrying Anya's supposedly lifeless body.
Comic book seriesEdit
It was stated that Anya would return in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight comic book series, even with Joss Whedon telling MTV that she was "definitely dead... but that doesn't mean she's gone." However, Dark Horse Comics editor Scott Allie stated that there were no current plans for Anya to appear.
In the first issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Ten, Anya returns as a ghost, having a conversation with Xander during a battle with both a mindless breed of vampires, which Xander has dubbed "zompires," and another new breed who are stronger and has abilities of withstanding sunlight and shape-shifting. Currently, she is only visible to her former fiancé, and Xander hasn't yet informed the gang about Anya. It soon turns out she was a fake ghost who was created by D'Hoffryn who wanted revenge on Xander. Anya's fake ghost realizes that the one thing Anya wanted before she died was taking care of D'Hoffryn. D'Hoffryn was pulling Anya's strings for a long time, even when she was human. She never cut her strings and finally got her vengeance on D'Hoffryn and knew that Xander felt bad about what happened between him and Anya. Before departing, she assures Xander that he is a good man and that the original Anya would forgive him as well.
Powers and abilitiesEdit
Anyanka has the power to grant wishes made by women seeking revenge against men who have wronged them, even changing reality to accommodate these wishes, a gift which is supported by her ability to detect women's emotional pain at a distance. She has supernatural strength, teleportation (although in "Same Time, Same Place" she mentions that her use of teleportation is temporarily limited and requires bureaucratic paperwork), telekinesis and rapid healing, being able to survive impalement. As a demon she will not die of old age, having lived over a thousand years, but can be killed if her body is sufficiently damaged.
With over a thousand years of experience as a former vengeance demon, Anya's knowledge of demonology and various dimensions is immense, surpassing both Giles and his successor Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, but not as skilled as them in research. Although her native language is Old Norse, Anyanka/Anya speaks fluent English as well as some French, Latin and can read and speak Ancient Sumerian. It is implied that she can speak any human language, as she has granted wishes in many countries all over the world throughout many centuries. Despite being human, Anya still has contacts with some of her former associates.
Anya also exhibits some basic knowledge of magic, often commenting on Willow's spellcasting and interest in magic with a reasonable degree of insight, and she occasionally participates in the casting of spells herself ("Doppelgangland"). As a human, Anya's experience and practice of combat from her time as a demon allows her to be an effective fighter, as seen in the series finale.
As a ghost, Anya is incorporeal and invisible to everyone except Xander.
Commenting on the personality of her character, Caulfield said, "Anya remains mortal and ambivalent. She's just struggling with being human, and really, don't we all struggle with that from time to time? She's very indifferent - and definitely sarcastic and bitter at times." Anya states in the "Selfless" flashback that she likes to bowl and she's "good with math".
Anya's irrational fear of rabbits (leporiphobia) is established for the first time in the Season Four Halloween episode "Fear, Itself", in which she appears in a bunny costume after Xander tells her to come to the party as something "scary". Her phobia becomes a running joke for the remainder of the series. In "The Gift", Anya sees a stuffed rabbit in the basement of The Magic Box (while looking for the Dagon Sphere with Xander), causing her to scream and exclaim, "Who would put something like that there?!" In "Once More, With Feeling", Anya sings, "Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes. They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses, and what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?", a verse reminiscent of Willow's speech about spiders ("Nightmares"). In "Tabula Rasa", while suffering from memory loss, she repeatedly casts a spell that does nothing more than cause rabbits to appear in increasing numbers. The phobia also manifests itself in her final moments. As the final battle approaches, Andrew Wells suggests she "picture happy things: a lake, candy canes, bunnies..." The change is drastic and instantaneous. She confidently raises her sword, saying grimly, "Bunnies. Floppy, hoppy, bunnies."
In her "origins" episode, "Selfless", Anya (then known as Aud), is surrounded by rabbits without showing any signs of distress over their presence.
Anya has been the subject of at least one academic article. For Tamy Burnett, "Anya ... stands alone as the only woman in the Buffyverse to remain unshamed and unpunished for her expressions of sexuality". Burnett argues that, among Buffy's female characters, despite their varying versions of personal and/or mental strength, Anya is the only one who is truly sexually liberated. Buffy and her friends tend to be "girly girls", who learn that "Sex is bad" and have their transgressions of traditional gender performance punished; Burnett cites the loss of Angel's soul, punitive interpretations of Tara's death, and Willow's transformation into Warren among other consequences. Faith comes "the closest" after Anya to breaking these traditional patterns because, while she is "just as sexual and outspoken" as Anya, she pivotally does not achieve Anya's acceptance within the group; for Anya, this "legitimizes her perspective". She identifies this motif with typical traits of horror fiction, citing Dawn Heinecken's feminist analysis in Warrior Women of Television. Anya frankly admits to masturbation and to her favourite sexual activities with Xander, and assumes that others share her attitudes. To Burnett, Anya's death in "Chosen" positions Anya as "failing to achieve [her] ultimate narrative legitimacy". Burnett concludes that "Anya's attitude toward sexual desire marks her as transgressing traditional forms of female sexuality, a significant break to the pattern by which other women on the show are constrained."

During a raucous, standing room-only meeting that lasted several hours, the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to approve a proposal to expand a jail in Richmond but did not have the votes necessary to approve county funding for the plan.
Supervisor John Gioia cast the sole dissenting vote against the proposal -- Supervisor Federal Glover was absent for medical reasons.
The vote allows the sheriff's office to apply for a competitive state grant offering up to $80 million to expand treatment and rehabilitation programs, including mental health services, at the West County Detention Facility in Richmond.
Without the vote to appropriate the county's matching contribution, or roughly $10.7 million, the project loses points on its application, diminishing its favorability and competitiveness, according to Sheriff David Livingston.
"Today gets us halfway there," Livingston said. "I would have liked to have the authorization for the matching funds as well. That would have been the perfect, ideal situation but still having three votes to apply is huge and allows me to move forward."
The application is due on Aug. 28 and if approved, the sheriff's office would have to return to the board for the matching community funds.
Gioia voted against the project because he said no funding sources had been identified to support the ongoing operating costs of the new building and reentry programs, which the sheriff's office estimated at roughly $4.4 million, including at least $1.9 million in net new expenses.
"For me, I can't trust that if we are not going to be able to guarantee funding for reentry at a high level, we end up with competition for dollars in future years and a situation where we potentially have space for programs but don't have meaningful programs in that space," Gioia said.
Although Gioia's counterparts on the council supported the plan, saying it would provide much-needed mental health and reentry services to a population that currently has no access to rehabilitation programs, the board needed a four-fifths vote to appropriate the funds. It only needed three votes to approve the grant application.
Meanwhile, an attorney representing the city of Richmond wrote a letter to the board on Monday that outlines deficiencies in the project's environmental impact report, which would allow the city to file a lawsuit against the county.
Sheriff's Capt. Thomas Chalk said the expansion is necessary because the county's only high-security facility in Martinez is overcrowded and offers only independent study, religious services and a library cart to its inmates.
The physical requirements of a high-security facility -- having a toilet and sink inside the room, for example -- means the sheriff's office cannot simply transfer high-security inmates to the Richmond jail, a medium-security facility, without costly retrofits, Chalk said.
The sheriff's office wants to transfer 416 high-security inmates to a new building within the West County Detention Facility, where they plan to incorporate 31,500 square feet of programming space, including a center where children can visit incarcerated parents.
But critics of the plan, which include a number of representatives from faith-based and community organizations who spoke at length Tuesday, cited a national trend to reduce the jail population across the country and condemned the proposal to invest in any new jail space.
Others pointed to the now-shuttered Doctors Medical Center in San Pablo and the understaffing of psychiatric nurses and mental health providers at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center in Martinez as critical shortfalls in the county's health care system.
Marie Walcek, a representative of the California Nurses Association, urged the board to think of understaffing at the CCRMC first before funding medical services within a jail.
"On the whole, our nurses in the county health system at CCRMC, our psych ER service is chronically short-staffed," Walcek said. "If we can invest in health services now in the community that are desperately needed ... we can reduce our jail population."
Supporters of the proposal said jails had become de facto mental health facilities and the proposed programs would help an underserved population.
Teresa Pasquini, who identified herself as the mother of an adult child who is both incarcerated and suffering from mental illness, urged the supervisors to approve the proposal.
"Nobody despises the criminalization of those with mental illness more than I do," Pasquini said. "I support this proposal because it is a step up from our current state, which is grossly inhumane."

When a video clip surfaced on YouTube showing Zhang Ya cursing Wenchuan earthquake victims with lots of profane words, a small earthquake was triggered in China's Internet community.
Millions of Chinese Internet users posted furious condemnation messages, accusing the 21-year-old girl of "no humanity," "insulting the victims" and calling her "scum".
In the near-5-minute video, Zhang, a native of Shenyang, capital of the northeastern Liaoning Province, showed that she was annoyed with the three day period of national mourning during which she could neither watch her favorite television programs nor play any games online. Shockingly, the girl chose to vent her anger through throwing nasty words upon the victims of the Sichuan quake, whose number has now topped 55,000.
"We respect the freedom of speech on the Internet, but we will not tolerate that she insulted the victims and survivors in Sichuan," one responding post read.
Despite the humiliating case of Zhang, the Internet, which enjoyed a stunning growth in China over the past decade and witnessed the nation overtake the United States to boast the world's largest Internet user population of 221 million, has played a fairly positive role in China's coping with the national calamity.
Ever since the 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Wenchuan County in the southwestern Sichuan Province at 2:28 p.m. on May 12, the Internet has acted as a major platform for quake relief, with tens of millions of Internet users taking to the Web to offer their help.
Posts calling for donations, self-organizing volunteer groups, spreading information and suggesting rescue approaches flooded web portals and forums.
Zhang Qi, a student at Culinary Institute of Sichuan, is originally from Wenchuan, the epicenter area. After knowing all roads to Wenchuan had been cut off by the earthquake and landslides that followed, and rescuers had major trouble to reach the epicenter by air due to the mountainous landscape of this valley county, she realized that a construction field near her home village was probably a good location for helicopter landing.

Simple issue, but I can’t understand why it’s happening.
I have tabs in a section of my website, and when the site loads, everything except the contents of the first tab shows…
When I start clicking on tabs, everything works, but I need the first tab to actually load as if it was already clicked, and it’s not happening…
Here is my public share link: READ-ONLY LINK
Hi @GMRod, the current Active tab is set to ‘None’. Just select a tab from the list and it’ll default to the first tab.
I’m sorry, I should’ve specified.
The one you showed, the roadmap, is working as intended, that’s why I have text at the top instructing to pick a year.
I’m talking abut the “Discover” section, where you see a bunch of pets and you can change their skins…
It’s supposed to open showing the first pet, Cacty.
Thanks for replying! Hopefully you can enlighten me here
Hi @GMRod, I think the issue here is that the fade-in animation is set to Tab Change. Meanwhile scrolling into view doesn’t count as that. The solution you can explore here is to have a “Scroll into view” animation to fade in the Cacty content.
Hmmm. So that one would be different to all the other tabs, that makes sense actually. I’ll try it!
Yeah, so I tried that and no luck.
Tried linking the animation to everything from the CMS pet container itself, and each level up to the container that has the skin buttons…
It just won’t show up!
I just needed to do the scroll in view action to the ELEMENT itself!


Each type of system has advantages, and bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better when it comes to cooling. To get the best possible energy savings and the longest possible working life you need the right size system for your home. Whether you need a central air conditioner, ductless air conditioner or air source heat pump, we can help. Ask us which system will help you save more!
We Provide the Right System, Not Just Any System
To ensure you’re happy with your cooling system long term, we do a thorough assessment of your site, including everything from home size to construction methods.
For example, you may have a medium sized house with high ceilings and southern exposure, but also excellent insulation and modern three-pane windows. If you moved that same home to a forested lot that provides constant shade you would require a different size of cooling system. Every detail counts when it comes to choosing the right system, and our detailed heat gain/loss calculations will reveal the true system requirements.
We also take the time to talk to you about your cooling needs. Perhaps you’re on a budget and only plan to use your AC when it’s unbearably hot. Or perhaps you work a lot from home and need reliable cooling so you can get things done, and need the best efficiency possible.
ATEL Air can provide you with the perfect cooling system, no matter how simple or complex your needs.
Eastern Ontario's most trusted name in home comfort.
We Carry Trane Air Conditioners
For central ACs, they simply do not make a better product than Trane – in fact they’ve won Liberty Research’s Most Trusted HVAC Brand award every year from 2015 to 2021. We used to install several brands, but after trying them all we’ve stopped carrying anything else. But you still get a huge selection of models ranging from budget friendly models to the most efficient and powerful air conditioners money can buy.
Best of all, we’re an authorized dealer, factory-trained to install your system exactly as the engineers intended, no matter how unique your home is.
Trane Rent to Own Program
Lower your energy bill with an efficient new Trane air conditioner:
- Fixed monthly fee that never changes.
- Buy out with no penalty.
- No automated renewals after the 10-year term
- No additional costs – guaranteed!
- Includes annual maintenance.
- 10-year parts and labour warranty.
For homes without existing ductwork, a ductless air conditioning system is a great solution. They’re also ultra efficient at up to 27 SEER. They consist of a wall or ceiling mounted unit that connects to the outdoor unit via slim tubing that make for mess-free installation.
You can get a ductless system as simple or as complex as you need, from one unit (a “mini split” system) to multiple units (a “multi-split” system). Ductless air conditioners can also be set up with zoning capability to independently cool different zones of your home.
Ductless ACs give you great benefits like these:
- They look great and don’t interfere with your decor, your view, or the security of your home like window units can.
- They can be wall or ceiling mounted – don’t take up floor space like freestanding air conditioners.
- At as low as 19dB, the indoor unit is literally quieter than a whisper (which is about 30 dB).
- Many models include advanced air filtration that traps allergens, pollutants, and even bacteria and viruses.
- Most models are Energy Star qualified.
We Recommend Mitsubishi’s Ductless Air Conditioning Systems
Mitsubishi’s ductless systems have a proven track record that outshines all other brands. We carry all models of the Mr Slim and S-Series lines.
ATEL Air is an authorized Mitsubishi dealer and installer, and are certified “Mitsubishi Electric Quality”.
Air Source Heat Pumps
A heat pump transfers heat where it’s needed, moving it outdoors in summer and indoors in winter. If you want a super efficient cooling system that will also help you save energy on heating, a heat pump is the answer for you.
Heat pumps work with your home’s ductwork system, and can be set up to work with your furnace as needed. For example, you may want your furnace to automatically kick in on the very coldest days.
Air Source heat pump benefits include:
- Increased energy efficiency, whether in heating or cooling mode.
- Easier to install than a ground-source or geothermal heat pump. Most installations can be done in a day.
- No fuel deliveries needed. If you have electricity, you can have a heat pump.
- More compact than a digging up your lawn to install a geothermal ground loop.
We offer a variety of air source heat pumps by Trane and Mitsubishi – ask us which options work best for your needs.
New! Trane’s XV19 Heat Pump
The quietest and most efficient Trane heat pump yet with sound levels of 43 to 57dBA.
- Space saving design is great for constrained areas – a great option under decks.
- Save up to 54% on energy with this 19.5 SEER efficiency.
- Offers 12 HSPF heating efficiency (8 HSPF is considered high efficiency).
- Runs at variable speeds for more precise temperature control, better filtration, and energy savings.
- Durable copper coil tubes transfer heat more efficiently.
- Ten-year warranty (with registration) on compressor, outdoor coils, and all other functional parts.
- Built to resist corrosion – right down to the zinc-coated fasteners.
- Diagnostic display panel.
- Comfortlink II compatible.
- Download the brochure >
Mitsubishi’s Zuba Central Heat Pump
Designed for the Canadian climate, the Zuba Central can provide refreshing coolness in summer and can heat your home even when outdoor temperatures drop to -30°C. Check out how these heat pumps made a difference in a Bruce County co-op >
“To say that we are pleased is inadequate – we are ecstatic… The Zuba is almost noiseless, and we don’t have any combustion-based heating system to worry about. My wife and I recommend both the ZUBA system and ATEL Air* as installers."
– Bruce Corbett, Lansdowne, ON
* If you would like to speak to Bruce about the Zuba, contact us and we will provide his information to you.
Ductwork has an important part to play in the efficiency of your cooling system, and can help or hurt your ability to save on energy. It can also make a huge difference in the overall comfort of your home.
We can design and build a new ductwork system that will get you better cooling efficiency than ever. This includes zoned systems that will allow you custom temperature control for every area of your home. For example, maybe you only need cooling on your second floor, or maybe some rooms have more sun exposure than others. Perhaps there are even rooms you seal off in winter and don’t use.
ATEL Air owner Jimmie Thom is professionally trained in ductwork design and air balancing, and personally designs every ductwork system to ensure it’s done correctly. After consulting with you, he will create a system that balances the needs of summer cooling and winter heating. Then our in-house licensed sheet metal worker, Larry Toonders, creates custom ductwork that will fit perfectly and create a tight seal so all that cool air ends up in your rooms, not between your walls.
It all adds up to better performance in every season of the year.

Miranda Priestly didn't find florals for spring groundbreaking but you've got to agree that they do have their own kind of charm. There's nothing quite like a flouncy dress set with floral prints to soak up a day in the sunshine and it seems like Jacqueline Fernandez knows that to be true. To promote her latest movie, the Bollywood actress was seen wearing an off-shoulder dress from Summer Somewhere. It featured puff sleeves and a fitted silhouette with red and white flowers adorning the dark base. Jacqueline sported a radiant complexion with winged eyeliner, a tinted lip and flushed cheeks. She added in gold hoop earrings and swept her bouncy waves to the side. Nothing says a sunshine-filled day like Jacqueline Fernandez's latest look, that's for sure.
Jacqueline's dresses can transition perfectly for every occasion. Proof? Here you go. For a night on the town, she picked a black mini dress with a ruffled hemline and a white neckline with thin straps. Black pumps streamlined this look along with gold dangling earrings. The classic black dress certainly looked mighty fabulous.
And when it's a striking statement she wants to make, a bold print makes things pop for Jacqueline. She picked a yellow and black cheetah print gown with a cowl neck and high slit down the side. Her accessories included oversized hoop earrings and ankle strap heels for that glamourous finish which only Jacqueline can nail to perfection.

Back in November, the Internet was in a flurry about a fire that had engulfed a Chevy Volt that had undergone a particularly aggressive crash test, and then had been set aside on a lot without following GM’s battery-draining protocol. Two other fires later occurred in relation to other safety tests. Though the news seemed to give fodder to EV skeptics and other friends of the fossil fuel industry, the fact of the matter was that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that it had no reason to believe the Volt was “at a greater risk of fire than gasoline-powered vehicles.” I called the whole thing a tempest in a teapot.
And not to say I told you so, but I told you so. The Associated Press reports that the government has concluded its safety investigation into the Volt, concluding that, indeed, “the Volt and other electric cars don’t pose a greater fire risk than gasoline-powered cars.” In other words, the NHTSA has affirmed its confidence in the car, after studying the Volt for months. If there are any skeptics out there still, it’s time to put their skepticism to rest (or find some other basis for their attacks on EVs; this fellow seems to think rants about “Socialist progressives who don’t understand anything about economics” is about as rhetorically sound as calling the car the “Volt Fire Trap”).
Still, under the theory that it’s better safe than sorry, GM announced earlier in the month its intention to fortify 12,000 existing Volts with steel plates that would shield batteries during crashes like the ones that resulted in the crash-test fires. GM’s offering these improvements for free, even though NHTSA didn’t demand a recall itself.
The Volt is shaping up to be something of a critical success, but a commercial disappointment. The car has racked up a bunch of awards and favorable reviews. But sales have been a little lackluster–to such a degree that the site 24/7 WallSt.com declared it one of the worst product flops of 2011. (It seems fairly ridiculous to lump the Volt in with Netflix’s surreal and swiftly-aborted Qwikster, but the author did so.) It hasn’t been all bad news for the Volt of late; the New York Times recently reported that the U.S. Embassy in France was adding a few to the lineup, promoting the EV brand abroad and joining Obama’s call to “green” the federal government.
“We have confidence in the cars,” said an embassy official. So do I, and so should you.
Here, via Chevrolet’s YouTube channel, a recent video introducing the Volt and explaining how it works.

A common caterpillar we include in our ISU field guides is hop vine borer (Figure 1), but I can’t even remember the last time I saw one. I’m wondering if it’s an early-season pest of the past? Archived ICM News articles tell me it was most commonly observed in northeastern Iowa and states to the east. It was considered an occasional pest that caused stand loss in corn, particularly in fields with grassy weeds. Have you seen it lately?

Now the trip into downtown Portland. There were a lot of things different to me, about Oregon...one of the most noticable was the number of rivers all over the place. And not little dinky rivers like we see coming out of the Sierras, but wide things that require pretty substantial bridges to cross. I was trying to get a picture of one, but with a point-and-shoot camera, at 40 mph, it was hard to capture, in the distance. Still a cool shot of the freeway interchange into the bridge.

Welcome to our Travel blog/Adventure journal/WordPress baby! Mainly this blog is intended to keep our parent’s minds (and nerves) at ease while we are on the other side of the globe. Cheaper than long distance calling anyways. You’re welcome Mom. So that’s how our site “Meet the Attards” was born. My husband and I decided to start a small travel blog to record and share our trip to New Zealand with family and friends back home. Before I go to far, BIG shout out here to our awesome friends Danielle and Tyler Ramsey, without whom this site would not exist. They have the amazing gift of explaining simple to complex web stuff to “non-techie” people like me, even when I ask questions that probably most 3rd graders could figure out.
So upon learning of our intended trip, some of those family, friends, and even coworkers responded with:
“Uh, WHERE are you going?!”
“You do know that’s on the other side of the globe, right?”
“Why do you need to go all the way to New Zealand?”
We knew we would get a few of those responses, and that’s ok. Mostly we have received wonderful support and encouragement. So, to answer the “why” questions, there are a few reasons we are taking such a big trip. Some of the amazing opportunities are to:
– Travel to different congregations across NZ to help in the field ministry and conduct free Bible studies
– Experience a different culture outside our own
– Explore the amazing landscapes and beauty of NZ, plus all the LoTR film locations and Hobbiton (duh, we will be in Middle Earth!)
– Take advantage of the Working Holiday Visa and spend a year working on farms, vineyards, kiwi fruit orchards, hospitality….really whatever we want to do. For more info on the details on what a working holiday visa is, click here.
– And lastly, why not go on a HUGE trip before mortgage payments, careers, kids, and life in general make it difficult to even take a full 2 week vacation?
Now, that’s not to say once you have those things you can never go on a big adventure, it’s just more difficult to do so. Those are some of the sacrifices we have decided to make to take this trip now. We moved back in with parents temporarily to save over the 9 months leading up to our trip. Yeah, we heard some “You’re moving back in with your parents?!” Again, temporary sacrifice.
Both of us will technically have to resign at our places of employment before our trip (*gasp*). Scary thought at first, but both of us are ready to get out of the retail management/retail banking world. Plus, all the experiences we will have after we return are worth way more to us than pursuing a corporate ladder job of 70 hour work weeks and acting out the “Hang in There, Baby” cat poster from the 1970s.
So feel free to check out our blog (www.meettheattards.com) and follow along on our adventure. We will be sharing our experiences, photos, along with tips and strategies on how we put together a trip this extensive (lots of Pinterest surfing involved). At the end of it all, we hope you catch the travel bug like we did and start working towards your own adventure. Enjoy!
Emily & Michael

Rainfall Not Striking Catchment Areas
By Dinouk Colombage
Despite the recent rainfall experienced in Colombo and its surrounding suburbs the catchment areas are still to receive substantial levels, according to the director of the Department of Meteorology L. Chandrapala. He said that while the South-Western monsoons are in effect, they are only occurring along the coastal belts, “Colombo, Negombo, Galle and other coastal cities have received substantial rainfall in the past week. The catchment areas have also received rain, but it is not enough to alleviate the current drought.” Chandrapala added that he was confident that the inter-monsoon period, which is expected at the end of September, would see an increase in the rainfall in those regions which are experiencing a shortage. “We will have to wait till that period before we see a noticeable change,” he said. Currently the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) is generating only 25% of hydro power; according to the director of the CEB Dr. Wimaladharma Abeywickrama the power generation should be at least 40%. He refused to comment on why the CEB had suspended the power cuts, but added that it was not because of the recent rainfall.

Bold Colors and Surprising Textures Make This Southern Shoot Seriously Chic!
Using a bold purple, black and gold color scheme can be a challenge, but this Louisiana styled shoot shows how to do it right! Sarah Beth Photography not only captured these glam details, but she also designed the florals and wedding cake! Three vintage silver votives were filled with fuchsia carnations, greenery, green dianthus and sweet pink roses filled the center of an eggplant linen-covered table as black candlesticks accented the place settings. Each square black-and-white charger was also paired with a geometric invitation suite from Inkling Design Studio. For a fun twist, the shoot also had an underlying polka dot theme. Gold circles covered the ivory, two-tier wedding cake as blueberries topped each dessert shooter. The black goblets even had a few dotted designs! Want to know what wedding dress would go with this eclectic look? A few unexpected choices from Sky Blue Clothing Studio and more details from this shoot are pictured below!

Middle Paxton Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania
|Middle Paxton Township, Pennsylvania|
A Middle Paxton Township vista from
Boyd Big Tree Preserve Conservation Area
Location in Dauphin County and state of Pennsylvania.
|• Total||59.2 sq mi (153 km2)|
|• Land||54.6 sq mi (141 km2)|
|• Water||4.6 sq mi (12 km2)|
|• Density||88.4/sq mi (34.1/km2)|
|Time zone||Eastern (EST) (UTC-5)|
|• Summer (DST)||EDT (UTC-4)|
In 1729 the Paxtang Township of Lancaster County was established. The spelling "Paxtang" is from the original Indian name "Peshtank," which meant "standing water." Today we use the word Paxton instead of Paxtang. The word “Paxton” was actually brought over by the Scottish settlers and means “town or area of Peace”.
On March 4, 1785 the County of Dauphin was formed from Lancaster County. The word “Dauphin” was from the French name given to the Prince of France whose country the area government wanted to honor for its assistance in the Revolutionary War. About two years later in August of 1787 the legislature began to splinter Paxtang Township, first into: Upper Paxtang, Middle Paxtang and Lower Paxtang.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 59.2 square miles (153.3 km²), of which, 54.6 square miles (141.3 km²) of it is land and 4.6 square miles (12.0 km²) of it (7.84%) is water.
As of the census of 2000, there were 4,823 people, 1,906 households, and 1,456 families residing in the township. The population density was 88.4 people per square mile (34.1/km²). There were 1,988 housing units at an average density of 36.4/sq mi (14.1/km²). The racial makeup of the township was 98.01% White, 0.27% African American, 0.17% Native American, 0.41% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.48% from other races, and 0.64% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.70% of the population.
There were 1,906 households out of which 30.0% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 65.2% were married couples living together, 7.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.6% were non-families. 19.2% of all households were made up of individuals and 7.1% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.53 and the average family size was 2.88.
In the township the population was spread out with 22.0% under the age of 18, 6.1% from 18 to 24, 27.6% from 25 to 44, 32.0% from 45 to 64, and 12.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 42 years. For every 100 females there were 100.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.2 males.
The median income for a household in the township was $54,619, and the median income for a family was $59,007. Males had a median income of $41,037 versus $30,233 for females. The per capita income for the township was $28,146. About 4.2% of families and 5.2% of the population were below the poverty line, including 7.0% of those under age 18 and 2.4% of those age 65 or over.
Children in the township attend public school the Central Dauphin School District.

Exeter: Horse racing schedule
There are eight races at Exeter on Friday, starting at 12:30pm, with the final one at 4:16pm.
The going at Exeter on Friday is soft.
Exeter horse racing betting preview & tips
Our bet of the day from Exeter is Hold That Thought who runs in the 1:30pm. This Venetia Williams trained runner has had three starts over fences so far, running well in them all.
While officially this race isn’t a step down in class, looking at the runners in opposition it certainly feels like it is, and that can be the difference maker here, landing this horse the first win he deserves.
Storm Force Ben is another strong fancy in the 2:00pm race, after an excellent run last time out. He was the only horse to stick with a runaway winner that day, and the winner of that race has since finished second in a Grade Two contest to really frank the form.
There is nothing of that quality here today, and he can get a much deserved win.
We round off the tips from Exeter with Christmas In April each way in the 3:10pm. This horse loves staying chases such as this one and is the type to come good and relish the test in front of him.

Let’s discuss the question: how much khoya from 1 litre milk. We summarize all relevant answers in section Q&A of website Activegaliano.org in category: Blog Marketing. See more related questions in the comments below.
How many Litres of milk make 1 kg of khoya?

Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
I have recently installed all 2014 versions of my creative cloud software which all worked fine.
The odd thing is that they do not appear in my Applications Folder when viewing from a Finder window. They all show in LaunchPad and also when I do a 'Reveal in Finder' search from the Dock icon when the application is launched.

Do you find yourself a bit “peckish” throughout your work or school day, but only having a few minutes to eat a light snack? It’s a common theme, with schedules getting more and more cramped, and we have no doubt that you’re all hard-working folks, meal prep fam! We know many of our readers are fans and followers of the ketogenic diet, too. So that’s why today we’ve brought you a meal prep idea today that you’ll love to “gobble” down—Turkey bacon ranch pinwheel snack boxes!
We love this meal prep idea because it is indeed 100% keto-friendly! And as many of our keto readers can attest to, keto meals can really pack a punch in the department of satisfying the hunger in a protein-dense way. With almost 16g of protein per serving, this snack aims to do that very thing, while providing healthy energy via the inclusion of fresh side veggies!
Turkey, bacon, and ranch. Name a more iconic trio, we’ll wait! This healthy meal prep idea is actually much healthier than other more traditional turkey bacon ranch options because it doesn’t use any ranch dressing! Instead, it utilizes velvety cream cheese intermingled with ranch seasonings! Not only does this make for a healthy substitution, but we think it actually tastes richer and yummier than using a regular ranch dressing.
How long will these Turkey Bacon Ranch Pinwheel Snack Boxes last for?
We recommend you eat each serving of this meal prep idea within 3-5 days of preparing it. Plus, these pinwheels are so delicious, how could you not?!
Can these Turkey Bacon Ranch Pinwheel Snack Boxes be frozen?
Yes, they can, though we suggest only freezing the pinwheels themselves. They should last about 6 months!
How do you make these Turkey Bacon Ranch Pinwheel Snack Boxes?
This meal prep idea is quick and easy, only taking 25 minutes total to make! Begin the process by cooking your bacon to preferred crispness. Then make your ‘ranch’ by combining cream cheese and ranch seasonings in a bowl (we suggest doing this after bringing the cream cheese to room temp). Next, spread each slice of turkey with the ranch cream cheese mixture. Add your desired amount of spinach and a crumbled strip of bacon, roll up, and then cut into slices. Now your pinwheels are done! Simply pack into snack boxes with fruit and veggie slices (only veggies if you want to be 100% keto).
How to portion these Turkey Bacon Ranch Pinwheel Snack Boxes?
We recommend packing this meal prep idea into two-compartment meal prep containers, to accommodate both the pinwheels and fruit/veggies in separate spaces. You can pick some up on Amazon, or check out what kind of containers best suit your needs in our article, Ultimate Guide to Meal Prep Containers!

text: Supplementary Materials Supplemental Material supp_208_4_457__index. regulates receptor activation in the immunological synapse. Introduction T cell activation by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) requires the formation of a specialized cellCcell contact termed the immunological synapse (IS), which facilitates the assembly of dynamic molecular signaling complexes. The T cell acto-myosin network plays a critical role in spatio-temporal regulation of IS organization (Billadeau et al., 2007; Burkhardt et al., 2008). Importantly, this network does not function as a static scaffold; continued actin BCI-121 retrograde flow is required to maintain T cell signaling (Babich et al., 2012). Recently, it has been suggested that cytoskeletal flow promotes signaling by exerting force on T cell signaling molecules that are bound to ligands on the surface of the APC (Ma and Finkel, 2010; Springer and Dustin, 2012; Chen and Zhu, 2013). Among the various activating and coactivating receptors on the surface of T cells, the T cell receptor (TCR) and the integrin leukocyte functional antigen 1 (LFA-1) have been proposed to act as mechanosensors, molecules that respond to physical force by changing conformation or initiating downstream signaling. Evidence that the TCR functions as a mechanosensor comes from conformational analysis of the TCR bound to activating antibodies, which shows that force applied tangentially to the peptide-bound major histocompatibility antigen (pMHC)/TCR bond can initiate downstream signaling (Kim et BCI-121 al., 2009, 2012). Moreover, multiple groups have observed that soluble monomeric pMHC is poorly suited to activating T cells, even at extremely high concentrations (Boniface et al., 1998; Hamad et al., 1998; Casares et al., 1999; Appel et al., 2000; Cochran et al., 2000), despite TCRCpMHC half-lives otherwise associated with TCR triggering in a 2D environment (Huppa et al., 2010), whereas surface-bound Rabbit polyclonal to AASS monomeric pMHC can trigger TCR activation in an F-actinCdependent manner (Ma et al., 2008; Xie et al., 2012). One interpretation of this finding is that forces on the TCR provided by the F-actin network, when opposed by surface-bound pMHC, produce a deformation in the TCR that induces signaling. Finally, agonist TCRCpMHC interactions have recently been found to engage in catch-bond type interactions in which force prolongs bond lifetime, and mechanically pulling on single pMHCCTCR bonds can initiate calcium signaling (Liu et al., 2014). Mechanotransduction by the TCR remains controversial, and many details remain to be elucidated. In contrast, the role of force in integrin activation has been well established. Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane proteins composed of an and a chain, and are the main adhesion receptors that stabilize T cellCAPC contacts. In addition to acting as adhesion receptors, integrins can function as signaling molecules in a process termed outside-in signaling. Integrin adhesion and signaling functions occur coordinately, and together, these processes lower the threshold for T cell activation. For example, engagement of the 1 integrin very late antigen 4 (VLA-4) enhances calcium mobilization BCI-121 and stimulation from the NF-AT promoter (Nguyen et al., 2008). The canonical integrin involved with Is certainly formation in na?ve T cells is the 2 integrin LFA-1. Engagement of LFA-1 enhances activation of key T cell signaling components such as PI3K, PLC1, ERK1/2, JNK, and Src (Ni et al., 2001; Perez et al., 2003; Li et al., 2009). The adapter molecule SLP-76 also functions in outside-in integrin signaling, possibly by recruiting ADAP to sites of LFA-1 engagement (Baker et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2009). Stronger activation of early signaling events upon co-stimulation through LFA-1 has been shown to lead to enhanced IL-2 production, T cell proliferation, and production.
