Reality Chatter :: MISSING & MURDERED :: Missing
by Ann - Tx on Thu May 17, 2012 10:58 pm
Michelle Parker, age 33 and the mother of three children, went missing on Thursday, November 17, 2011, in Orlando, FL after dropping off her two youngest children (twins) with their father, Dale Smith, Jr., in southeast Orlando, FL.
Michelle went missing just after her appearance on the television show "The People's Court" was aired. She and Dale Smith, Jr., who lived together at times, appeared on The People's Court in regard to a controversy over an engagement ring valued at approximately $5,000.
After extensive searches by Orlando and area FL law enforcement, friends and family, Michelle Parker is still missing.
Michelle's SUV - Hummer was found in an apartment complex parking lot on Friday, November 18, 2011. In late November, 2011, Michelle's cell phone was found, by divers, at the bottom of a lake in Belle Isle.
The location of where her cell phone was found is about halfway between Dale Smith, Jr.'s condominium and his parent's home, where he claimed to go after Parker dropped off their children on November 17, 2011.
There have been many hours spent on this case by numerous former Hinky Meter members. There was a tremendous amount of research done on this case, by them, including search records of Dale Smith, Jr. and his father, Dale Smith, Sr. There were many hours spent on screen shots and developing graphs, diagrams, charts, etc. regarding various locations and distances from various areas.
There was documentation of the various Hearings regarding the child custody issues about the twins as well as the arrest of Dale Smith, Sr. on unrelated charges.
NOTICE: You are welcomed to post previous articles, any charts, diagrams, etc. that you worked so hard on and whatever you feel will bring this thread up to speed.
I know it would be a monumental task to try to re-create your hard work from THM but you are welcomed to post whatever you feel you need for this thread to be an easy reference thread if there is further development in this case.
I will post a few articles to get this thread started. Date of articles are not usually colored in red but I will color the date of the older articles to draw attention that these are older articles.
This is a Michelle Parker "Missing Person" poster that was released shortly after she went missing. Since it was released, the reward changed many times.
If there is any inaccurate info in this article, please PM me as soon as possible. Thank you!

It's been almost one week and there is still no sign of missing mother of three Michelle Parker.
An eyewitness claims she saw Parker's Hummer parked at an apartment complex as early as Thursday night, which was 24 hours before it was found on Friday afternoon.

Posted: 9:20 a.m. Monday, Dec. 12, 2011
The family of missing mother Michelle Parker will be allowed to visit with her two youngest children often now that a visitation agreement has been reached.
Yvonne Stewart, Parker's mother, was able to spend Sunday with her 3-year-old twin grandchildren, according to her lawyer Matt Morgan.
"Yvonne will have very liberal access to the children," Morgan said in an email to the Orlando Sentinel. "The details of the agreement will remain confidential."
Her eldest son is being cared for by his father and is not part of the visitation agreement between Stewart and the twins' father, Dale Smith II.
The 33-year-old mother vanished Nov. 17 after dropping off the twins with Smith at his home on S. Semoran Boulevard. Her family reported her missing after she failed to show up for work at The Barn that same evening.

There are no solid leads yet, but the family staunchly believes the truth will come out someday.
What happened to Parker remains a mystery. She was last seen Nov. 17 as she dropped off her twin 4-year-olds to their father, Dale Smith Jr.

Michelle Parker: Missing Florida Mom 'Humiliated' by 'People's Court' Appearance
By MATT GUTMAN and CHRISTINA NG
ABC News - Good Morning America
ORLANDO, Fla. Nov. 21, 2011
The mother of a missing Florida woman who disappeared the same day her case appeared on "The People's Court" said that her daughter was "humiliated" by the show.
Michelle Parker, a mother of three, was last seen Thursday afternoon when she dropped off her 3-year-old twins at her ex-fiancé Dale Smith's home. Parker also has an 11-year-old son from a previous relationship.
The feuding couple appeared on "The People's Court" to resolve a dispute about the $5,000 engagement ring that Parker, 32, allegedly drunkenly threw over a hotel balcony during an argument.
Parker's mother Yvonne Stewart told ABC News that when Michelle returned from taping the show in the summer, she said, "It was the most humiliating experience of my life. I don't even ever want to see it. I wish I had never gone."

I hope that some of the members will post the screen shots they did if they saved them to their computers. Some of our former THM members did an awesome job of determining distances to various locations in this case and other info.

Panel of investigators could reveal new information on missing mom Michelle Parker
ORLANDO, Fla. —
There could be a major break in the case of missing Orlando mother Michelle Parker on Thursday.
WFTV found out that a group assigned to take a fresh look at the evidence in the case is expected to reveal new information that could help investigators figure out what happened to Parker, who disappeared in November.
http://www.wftv.com/news/news/new-information-expected-michelle-parker-case/nPC2J/
At the end of the video, the reporter said WFTV would be there for the presser at 9:30. I wonder if WFTV will stream it live.
I guess it is worth checking the home page around 9:30 EDT for a Live Stream.

"I'm hoping a phone call is generated. All we're trying to do is connect the dots, and there's just a few more dots we need to connect, to resolve this."

ellejay, this makes me nervous, DS2 has to know eventually he is may be arrested & it would seem his parent's don't stand a chance in hell of getting custody of the twins should that happen.
imo, this led to Josh Powell murdering Braden/Charlie. That SOB preferred to murder the boy's INSTEAD of allowing them to be raised by the Coxes' should he go to jail. It's always scarey imo, for these nutjobs to get backed into a corner., they are never going to put their children first, it is always about them.

Missing Orlando mother Michelle Parker has "dream team" take a second look at case
Orlando, Florida - It's been an incredibly difficult journey for Yvonne Stewart.
She is the mother of missing Orlando mom, Michelle Parker, who disappeared last November after an episode of The People's Court where the 34-year-old appeared during a dispute over an engagement ring.
So far, the case has grown cold. Until now.
There is now a "dream team" of sorts taking a second look at the case. Orlando Police call it a "fresh approach."

Michelle Parker's mom: Kids 'not the same' since she vanished
She disappeared Nov. 17, shortly after 'People's Court' episode aired; no new leads
By Jillian Eugnenios
TODAY.com contributor
MSNBC - Today Show
Updated 5/25/2012 10:02:33 AM ET
The mother of missing Florida woman Michelle Parker, 34, spoke out Friday about her concern for her grandchildren as a new review of the evidence pointed back to where authorities first looked — Dale Smith II, Parker's 40-year-old ex-fiance and the father of her 4-year-old twins.
Parker's mother, Yvonne Stewart, and sister, Lauren Erickson, spoke to TODAY's Ann Curry about the condition of Parker's children since her disappearance last November. "They are not the same children that they were six months ago, I'll tell you that," Stewart said. "They have a flat look on their face, they always ask about their mom, they aren't real happy sometimes to go home. It's just heart-wrenching."
Stewart does not get to see her grandchildren as often as she would like, because their custody remains with Smith, named a person of interest in the case. The twins turned 4 just a couple of days ago, and neither Stewart nor Erickson got to see them. The family does not communicate with Smith directly and instead speak to him through his lawyer.

By Arelis R. Hernández, Orlando Sentinel
Michelle Parker's family announced they would resume a search for the missing mother-of-three based on recommendations the Federal Bureau of Investigation gave police, according to their website.
The family asked for volunteers through their Facebook page for the Nov. 4 search — nearly one year to the date she dropped off her two children at the house of their father, Dale Smith Jr., before vanishing.
Orlando Police said they did not order the search and would not comment on an active investigation.
"We are just supporting the family," said Sgt. Vincent Ogburn, a police spokesman.

Michelle Parker's mother petitions to change Fla. law
Michelle's Law could grant child visitation to families of missing persons
UPDATED: 10:11 PM EDT Oct 26, 2012
The mother of missing Orlando woman Michelle Parker has started a petition to change Florida law.
Parker's mother, Yvonne Stewart, worked with Rep. Darryl Rouson and attorney Matt Morgan to write up and launch the petition on Change.org.
If passed, the petition could lead to the enactment of Michelle's Law, which will allow the family of a missing person to petition a court for visitation of his or her children.
According to the petition's website, Stewart and her family "are lucky at this point in time that we get to see (the children), however, it would help anyone in similar circumstances and quite possibly set an example for other states to follow and change their laws."

By Sara K. Clarke, Orlando Sentinel

About 150 people showed up Sunday to look for Michelle Parker, canvassing the Lake Nona area in a disappointing search for the missing mom.
Volunteers waded through the dense woods looking for Parker, who was last seen Nov. 17, 2011, when she dropped off her twin children at their father's townhouse in Carter Glen Condominiums off Goldenrod Road.
Dale Smith, 41, the twins' father, is the last person known to have seen her alive and has been named the prime suspect in the case, but he has not been charged with any crimes.
Brad Parker, Michelle's father, said some bones were uncovered during Sunday's search, but he did not know if they were human or animal bones. He said they will be given to Orlando Police for further inspection.

The bill, HB 19, would give grandparents the right to petition the courts for visitation under certain circumstances, and also rights for great-grandparents.

Parker's children were put in the care of their father, Parker's ex-fiance Dale Smith Jr. Smith is a suspect in Parker's disappearance. Parkers' family also claims they have not been able to see the missing woman's children.

Family of Missing People's Court Mom Files Wrongful Death Suit Against Her Ex
By STEVE HELLING
03/07/2013 at 09:20 AM EST
Reluctantly believing she is dead, the family of Michelle Parker, the Florida mom who vanished after appearing on The People's Court in 2011, filed a wrongful death lawsuit Thursday against her ex-fiancé, Dale Smith, whom they believe was responsible.
Parker's family claims Smith knows what happened on Nov. 17, 2011, the day Parker was last seen alive.
"The family doesn't want to believe that Michelle is dead, but they believe that she is," their attorney, John Morgan, tells PEOPLE. "This is a case that has gone cold, so a civil case is the only way that Michelle's family will finally get answers. Given the passing of time, as well as some evidence we have discovered, we believe that Dale Smith is responsible for her death."

Michelle Parker estate files wrongful death suit against ex-fiancé
Dale Smith, father of Parker's children, faces lawsuit
UPDATED 5:55 PM EST Mar 07, 2013
WESH -Orlando, FL
ORLANDO, Fla. —The family of missing woman Michelle Parker has filed a lawsuit against Dale Smith, the father of two of Parker's children.
Parker's estate filed a wrongful death suit against Smith with the Orange County Courthouse, WESH 2 News learned Thursday. The suit accuses Smith of causing Parker's death and seeks $15,000 in damages. Smith is the only named suspect in Parker's disappearance, and according to sources, he is now living out of state with his and Parker's two children.
"At the said time and place, defendant Dale Smith II, was negligent or otherwise committed a wrongful act and caused the death of Michelle L. Parker," the suit filed by attorney John B. Morgan says.

Wonder why Steve Helling doesn't like John Morgan? I thought he was a reputable atty, unlike Bozo.
What is wrong with Morgan?

Michelle Parker's mom pushes for 'grandparent visitation rights' law
Posted: 4:56 p.m. Sunday, March 17, 2013
Yvonne Stewart, mother of Michelle Parker
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The mother of missing mom Michelle Parker is heading to Tallahassee in hopes of getting lawmakers to pass a bill for visitation rights for grandparents.
The law would allow grandparents to petition a judge for the right to see their grandchildren. Parker's mom, Yvonne Stewart, told WFTV she hasn't seen her grandchildren in several months.
Under the proposed law, grandparents would have to prove that their grandchildren are being harmed by not seeing them.

The evidence will be released during a Monday press conference at police headquarters. In a statement, the department declined to offer any further details on the nature of that evidence.
A mother of three, Parker disappeared Nov. 17, 2011 after dropping off her two youngest children with their father, Parker's ex-fiancé Dale Smith.

Orlando police release new video evidence in Michelle Parker disappearance
Two years after her disappearance, Orlando police release video of Michelle Parker's Hummer stopping at a red light less than one mile from where the vehicle was later found.
By Daniel Arkin, Staff Writer, NBC News
Orlando police on Monday released new surveillance video in the case of Michelle Parker, a mother of three who vanished two years ago just hours after she and her ex-fiance appeared in a pre-taped episode of "The People's Court."
The footage shows Parker's Hummer SUV stopped at a red light at around 8:55 p.m. on Nov. 17, 2011, less than one mile away from where the vehicle was discovered the next day, according to police spokesman Sgt. Jim Young. He said authorities "don't know who was behind" the wheel at the time.

'The Hills' Alternate Ending Is Way Better Than the Original
MTV revealed an alternate ending for its landmark reality series. And it's better than what we saw three years ago.
Richard Lawson
Today RetroMTV, MTV's programming block of "old" shows (we're not talking The Grind or We're Dancin' here), finished up its run of The Hills, that great era-defining pseudo-reality show that ended three years ago. As a little bit of incentive to get people who already sat through the show's first sun-poisoned run, they included a shocking alternate ending. Yeah, because the show was not real, they shot more than one final scene for the series finale.
In case you've blocked out the memory of how the show ended the first time: Series star Lauren Conrad was long gone, and replacement Kristin Cavallari and on-again/off-again boyfriend Brody Jenner (of House Jenner, step-brother to the Kardashians) had a strained parting of ways. And then, suddenly, a backdrop was rolled away and it was revealed that they were on a studio lot. Kristin got out of her car as the crew applauded and she gave Brody a hug, one cast mate saying "We did it" to the other. It was the show's sorta funny, sorta infuriating way of addressing the accusations that the show was completely staged. "You want staged? Here's staged," The Hills said, a middle finger pointed sassily at the audience. But, as we learned today, that's not how it had to end.
The alternate ending is actually a lot more fun, less meta, and plays with a bit of ambiguity in a saucy, almost sophisticated way. Kristin and Brody say the same goodbye, but then the cameras follow Brody back to an apartment, where he is greeted by... Lauren! Haha! She's back! He tells her that saying goodbye was rough and she says that goodbyes are hard, and then, after a slight pause, she gives him a big, mischievous smile and I guess the implication is that they ended up together, in a high rise overlooking the city. And then lived happily ever after, away from the cameras, blinking and grinning at each other for eternity?
It's not entirely clear, and that's what makes it so great. I wish they'd gone with this ending. The original was interesting, but it sapped what made the show fun, that uncertainty about how seriously the show took itself. With this other, previously unaired ending, we leave the show still in the un-commented-on drama of the thing. If only the producers had resisted their meta urges, we could have had this much more mysteriously satisfying ending. Oh well. It doesn't matter now. The past has already been written.

Misconceptions about the Immaculate Conception
One of the more recent, sublime and, paradoxically, misunderstood doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church is that of the Immaculate Conception. Officially proclaimed as dogma in 1854 by Pope Pius IX, the belief is as old as the Gospels themselves.
Before we examine the historical development of this mystery, let's deal with some popular misconceptions (pardon the pun). The Immaculate Conception refers to Mary being without the stain of original sin from the very first moment of her existence in the womb of her mother, Anne. There is no indication or belief that Anne and Joachim conceived Mary in any way other than the natural way parents conceive a child.
Contrary to popular belief, even among many Catholics, the Immaculate Conception does NOT refer to the virgin birth of Jesus. One way to remember this is that the feast of the Nativity of Mary (September 8) comes exactly nine months after the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (December 8). Were it referring to the virgin birth of Jesus, the Immaculate Conception would be celebrated nine months before Christmas on March 25, which is the feast of the Annunciation. That being said, according to theologians, this was God's way of preparing Mary to be the mother of the Messiah.
Biblically, we see two references to what we would later call the Immaculate Conception in the Gospel according to Luke. In Nazareth, the Angel Gabriel greets Mary as "kecharitomene," a Greek word rendered "full of grace" in English. The word does not appear anywhere else in Scripture or Greek. Luke fashioned the word to underscore the singular nature of the woman Gabriel addressed. Mary is unique in human history! In addition, the angel's greeting implies Mary was already graced before Gabriel appeared and even before Mary had time to respond.
Rabbi Asher Finkel, who taught at Maryknoll School of Theology, expressed his belief that the Immaculate Conception makes sense from a Jewish perspective, for only the womb of a ritually pure woman was worthy to bear the Messiah. So, at the very least, the early church regarded the Virgin Mary as a unique expression of God's love, providentially set apart by divine grace.
Fast forward to 1830. St. Catherine Labouré, a 24-year-old novice in the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary instructing her to dedicate a medal to the Immaculate Conception. Around the image in the medal are the words: "O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee." The "Miraculous Medal" became an immensely popular devotion because of the many graces and healings attributed to Mary's intercession through it.
In 1858, four years after Pope Pius IX declared the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, a young Bernadette Soubirous in Massabielle, France, claimed she saw an apparition of a beautiful lady dressed in white—near the town dump! Local church authorities were understandably skeptical. They challenged Bernadette to explain why the Mother of God would appear in such a vulgar place. Her simple answer: "Jesus was born in a stable." They pressed Bernadette to have the apparition identify herself and were totally unprepared for the reply: "Que soy era immaculada councepciou" ("I am the Immaculate Conception") in the local Bigourdan dialect.
Today Brazil, Korea, the Philippines, Portugal, Spain and the United States all place themselves under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception. To complicate matters somewhat, the day the apparition identified herself to Bernadette as the Immaculate Conception was March 25, the feast of the Annunciation! But maybe that too is providential, for while the Immaculate Conception refers to Mary and not to Jesus, our devotion to her is intrinsically linked to her role in the Incarnation of God's Word-Made-Flesh.

As you visit this blog, may you be blessed beyond measure. May Jesus pick up your wounded soul and hug you so close to His heart that you will hear the rhythm of His faithful love for you! May Jesus break the chains that keep you from flying in the freedom of His love! May He give you faith to use the wings He has given you!
Sometimes it is through the most painful times in life that we learn the most about Jesus' love. Out of a despairing point in my life – Depression and New Beginnings – "Freed to Fly: Hope, Healing, and Freedom for Hurting Souls" originated.
Through His powerful love and grace, Jesus breaks the chains. When insecurity tells us we can't, we can do all things through Christ Jesus. When legalism swings its swords, in Jesus we are free. When memory triggers plunge us back into past abuse, in Jesus we can heal and be whole. When shame poisons our perspective, in Jesus we are beautiful and valuable. When fear freezes our faith, in Jesus we grasp courage. When bitterness sours joy, in Jesus we can forgive and move on. When depression sinks us into despair, in Jesus we can dance a victory. When losses, in many different forms, zap our physical and emotional strength, in Jesus we can trust that God has a plan.
Is our faith always strong? No. Do we always feel freed to fly? No. Are we always happy? No. Jesus has said that "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33) Yes! Jesus has gained the victory for us. Only in Him, we can face whatever lies before us. Only in Him, we can survive and thrive. Only in Him, we can learn to dance in victory.
And one day, if we are grounded in Christ Jesus, our groans will change to glory. "I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us." (Romans 8:18) So fly, my friend, fly! Fly to Jesus. Fly in Jesus. Fly for Jesus.
I look forward to exploring more of your blog. So glad I found you–or rather that God intersected our paths.
Thank you so much, Sita. I'm glad, too, that God intersected our paths. Your post today really tugged at my heartstrings. I wish you strength for each day.
I want to thank SecretAngel for posting your link on her site, "http://secretangelps911.wordpress.com/" and the Holy Spirit for His precious way of leading and directing. I am constantly on the lookout for sites that are geared toward hurting and healing as sometimes there are a lot of sites like mine with inspiration and encouragement but no direction for those going through real turmoil and storms in their lives. I love to be able to direct others to sites like yours and I am impressed with what I see so very much! God bless you so much for following the direction of the Holy Spirit! It is so evident that THIS is the type of example of the Holy Spirit's REAL (as opposed to imaginary) gifting to the Body of Christ as a whole. Without one another, there could NEVER be a true Church!
I will be following you and posting your link on my WP Links Page as well as letting my Facebook friends and followers about your site!! God bless you oh so richly as you continue to minister (serve) the Lord AND all those the Holy Spirit leads to your wonderful site!!
Your post brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much. I needed this encouragement as I do sometimes get discouraged. God has pressed it on my heart to bind up the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for captives, and speak up for those who have no voice.
I'm so sorry for your pain, Elizabeth. We could never do without God, could we? And true friends are a blessing, too. Thank you for your kind encouragement. May Jesus hold you close and bind up all your wounds! Hugs!
Thank you for your kind thoughts, Viktory. God bless you!
Trudy, I find your posts thoughtful and encouraging. The ripple effect, paying it forward…..I see Gods work behind it. I find commenting on your posts challenging….who knows why. And I do enjoy them.
Thank you, Anita. I'm so glad you find encouragement here. I'm sorry commenting is challenging, but I'm glad you stick with it. 🙂 Yes, it's definitely God working behind the paying it forward ripple effect. I do enjoy your posts, too. God uses your photos to breathe peace into my soul. May we lean into Him and trust He's got us no matter what!
Trudy, I want to thank you for following my blog because it lead me to yours. What a wonderful resource! Thank you for your candid posts, pointing toward the real source of healing and peace which is in Jesus Christ, and the resource of books to help others.
You're so welcome, Beckie. Martha Orlando talked about your new book at her blog, so I followed the link, and I'm grateful I was led to yours. 🙂 I already checked to see if your book is in our library, but it isn't. 😦 Yes, the real source of healing and peace is Jesus. My heart's desire is to point all hurting souls to hope in Him. He is helping me to be more authentic about past pain in my life and to pass on the comfort He has given me to others. I look forward to reading more of your posts. Blessings to you, too!
Thank you for visiting and following my blog. I will be back to read more of what God has put on your heart.
You're welcome, Rolain. After I read your comment and Lynn's response, I felt nudged to check your blog out. After reading some, I agree with Lynn. Your words do make an impact and point us to Christ. 🙂 Thank you for subscribing to my blog as well. Blessings to you!
Thank you so much Trudy. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you, Rolain. I hope you enjoy your weekend, too!


This week I'll be writing a two part series on the trend watch for X86 Intel Servers. As I'm sure you're wondering, I'm aware that X86 processors are not a new thing. Yes, I know they have been around for the past few years and have been working their way into the industries heart as the processor of choice. However, with Gartner's year-on-year survey conclusions and Intel's March 6th release of their new E5-2600 series chips, there are a ton of exciting things to note and talk about. So with that I give you part one of Trend Watch: X86 Server Take Over; Intel's New E5-2600 Series Chips.
It's true X86 servers are not a new thing. They have been moving their way into data centers for the past few years and slowly, but surely have increased their presence, so much so, that they now dominate UNIX as the servers of choice. No longer are data centers a heterogeneous place, the variety of microprocessors that used to characterize our computer centers are now giving way to the uniform packs of X86 processors.
X86's dominating presence is nothing new, as I'm sure you've been aware, their boxes have long since outsold UNIX and mainframes on a units-shipped basis. The biggest perpetuator causing UNIX to fall into the fiery pit of their demise came from Oracle's 2009 purchase of Sun Microsystems, since then UNIX has slowly been sinking to its fiery death. In 2010, X86 servers represented the majority of server revenue as a whole, estimated by IDC at 66.1% in Q310. That folks was not just a trend, but instead the tipping point in an industry standard.
What is different about these servers, however, is that "Customers aren't standardizing on a particular brand of x86 system," said Dan Olds, principal at GCG. "Only a tiny number of customers have settled on a single x86 system provider, despite every effort by vendors to convince them to do so such as financial inducements, systems management that makes it easier to handle large numbers of servers from a single family, and blade form factors that would tend to yield a bit of vendor lock-in." All vendors use the same AMD and Intel chips, the same RAM and the same disks, leaving the only differential, really, to price.
The Gartner survey, conducted in February 2012, analyzed year-over-year changes in server revenue and shipments, as well as percent market share, from server vendors like; IBM, HP, Dell, Oracle, Fujitsu, and Lenovo. They concluded that the primary driving force behind growth in the server market was the large scale deployment of X86 servers and the increase in cloud computing. Worldwide server shipments increased by 7% in 2011, with an increase of 4.5% in Q411. At the same time, worldwide server revenue increased by 7.9% in 2011, despite a decline of 5.4% in Q411. Pretty impressive stats, given the supply shortage caused by the October floods in Thailand, which caused inventory problems and greatly affected vendor's ability to meet demands in Q4.
With the release of Intel's E5-2600 series chips on Tuesday March, 6 2012, the industry is about to see another huge round of server replacement cycles. In part two of this week's blog, Trend Watch: X 86 Servers Take Over; Intel's New E5-2600 Series Chips, I will give you all of the latest and greatest information on Intel's newest chips, so get excited for the next post!


The Louisiana Bulldogs had a comeback fall short in the fourth quarter against Van-Far on Thursday, Nov. 30, by a final score of 61-52.
The game was fast paced initially and began to find rhythm once both teams settled down.
The game was tight throughout with the Indians holding a lead for most of the game.
The Bulldogs attempted a comeback in the fourth quarter and crept as close as five points away from tying the game up late but Van-Far hit free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

Surgical gloves have always been ideal for preventing contamination and infection between patient and carer. But healthcare is littered with sharp objects such as needles and scalpels, which exposes doctors, nurses and carers to constant risk of personal injury.
In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) reports there are around 40,000 'sharps' injuries a year. In the US, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are more than 384,000 needle-stick injuries each year in hospitals.
These types of incidents increase the chances of contracting diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.
But things may be about to change thanks to some chemical engineers at the University of Delaware. They have harnessed a 'smart' technology called shear thickening fluids (STFs), which have the ability to instantly and reversibly change from a liquid to a solid-like material in response to impact or stress.
The STFs can be added to textiles to create protective equipment that moves with the wearer but reacts instantly to provide protection when it is needed. The thin, lightweight materials can easily be integrated into personal protective equipment occupations like healthcare that demand the highest degree of flexibility, dexterity and sensitivity.
Medical gloves, military equipment, construction safety, waste handling and home and garden are just some of the potential product areas currently being looked at by chemical engineers, Dr. Richard D. Dombrowski and Dr. Norman J. Wagner, who have established STF Technologies LLC to commercialise the technology.
Let's hope they can bring their technology to market soon to boost safety for the millions of workers exposed to occupational risks every day.
For more information, take a look at their video below.


There are 3 things every runner needs while training or during a race: speed, hydration, and determination. The Nathan Speed 2 Waistpack can equip you with 2 of those things, but the determination is still in your court.
If you prefer to stay hydrated via water bottles instead of a hydration pack then the Nathan Speed 2 is pretty good choice. It only sports a total of 20 ounces of water, but that should be enough for most of your training needs.
We almost think a more appropriate name for the Nathan Speed 2 Waistpack might be the Nathan Quickdraw because that's more or less what you'll feel like while running, which in our opinion is a pretty cool thing.
We always find this to be the most crucial part, especially for running waist packs. They have a tendency to "ride up" or bounce. Nathan did a good job of balancing out this pack and in using a Velcro belt made the adjustment extremely easy. You shouldn't have any real complaints in this department.
The hydration is pretty straight forward. It's just (2) 10 ounce molded bottles. The top of the bottles are curved slightly making it easier to reach behind and grab when while running. As we mentioned above the bottle holders are made specifically for these bottles, so while you could try to put your own bottle in here it probably won't work out too well.
Because the pocket is made out of a stretchy mesh material it can actually fit quite a bit more than you think. You can easily fit a gel (or 2), your keys, cell phone, and some trail mix (small pack). There's also a small inner pocket that adds a bit of separation, so you can toss your keys back there that way you're not accidentally grabbing at them on race day.
