The last two weeks of August are upon us. Still not sure if you will take vacation? Thinking you might just take a long weekend instead of a full week off, because there's just too much to do? Or are you thinking, it's a slow time at the office, may as well stick around and be productive while things are quiet? Think again.
Neuroscientist, musician, professor and best-selling author Daniel J. Levitin's new book addresses the importance of giving your brain a real rest from work in order to improve productivity and creativity. In many ways Levitin reminds us of what we already know, but too often forget, and he backs it up with hard scientific findings. The human ability to switch between intense focus and mind-wandering is one of our species' "crowning achievements." It is those periods of uninterrupted daydreaming that make our working time all the more successful, because they open the door for more creative thinking and allow us to gain perspective on the task at hand. The ability to switch between focus and daydreaming is constantly being challenged by information overload and access to mobile communication. Let it erode completely, and the creative periods of zone-out time will become fewer, and be less effective at promoting success at work.
Forbes reported on a study earlier this summer that found that 46 percent of employees feel obligated to check their email while on vacation, and 26 percent feel guilty using all of their vacation time. Break out the latter statistic by generation, and its 40 percent for millennials and 18 percent for baby boomers. This is depressing, folks! As my colleague Phil Stott wrote on our blog today, German auto company Daimler has decided to take matters into its own hands and offer employees the option of auto-deleting emails that come in while they are on vacation, so as to mitigate the stress of returning to a clogged inbox. The feature would involve an auto-reply informing the sender that the email has been deleted and providing an alternate point of contact.
Whether or not Daimler's pilot program is the answer for everyone, the concept of really, seriously shutting off on vacation should be. So if you haven't already submitted your request for time off, do it now!

Buckland, Massachusetts was incorporated in 1799. It was the birthplace of Mary Lyon who founded Mount Holyoke Female Seminary in 1837. Inspired by her own struggles to obtain an education, she worked hard to expand academic opportunities for young women and to prepare them to become teachers. The school started with approximately 80 students, and quickly became a big success. By 1838 about 400 applicants were turned away from the school because there wasn?t enough room. Lyon led the school for 12 years, and during that time, the curriculum grew and new buildings were constructed. The Seminary became Mount Holyoke College in 1895. This house was actually owned by Major Joseph Griswold, a prominent Buckland citizen. When Mary Lyon started teaching, she used the third floor ballroom of this house to teach Latin, science, and history to her female students. This was a unique curriculum because most young women at that time were usually limited to studying subjects such as painting, needlework and music.

Bernard Berenson
Art Collector
Born June 26, 1865, in Vilnius, Lithuania and reared in Boston, Bernard Berenson was educated at Harvard University, from which he was graduated in 1887. His first book, The Venetian Painters of the Renaissance (1894), displayed a concise writing style. He was also endowed with a discriminating eye, exceptional memory, perceptive intelligence, and humanistic learning. For a time he was an adviser to the international art dealer Lord Duveen, and his opinion was often sought in the purchase of paintings. Many masterpieces now in American museums were bought upon his recommendation. A testament to his taste may be seen in the Gardner Museum in Boston.
Although Berenson retained his U.S. citizenship, he lived in Italy most of his life. He was sequestered during World War II in Tuscany, and his diary Rumour and Reflection, 1941–1944, was published in 1952. He bequeathed to Harvard University his villa, I Tatti, with its art collection and magnificent library to be administered as a Center for Italian Renaissance Culture. Among his major works are Aesthetics and History in the Visual Arts (1948), The Drawings of the Florentine Painters (1938), and the monumental Italian Painters of the Renaissance (1952). Berenson died Oct. 6, 1959, in Settignano, Italy.

In the past, Homes of Governors slide shows have taken a broad look at the residences of state chief executives, from Colonial-era gems to fixer-uppers. This year, we've taken a different approach, focusing on the homes of the highest-paid governors.
Pennsylvania's Tom Corbett is the nation's top-paid governor, at $183,255. Some of his colleagues are not too far behind—44 percent make more than $140,500 a year.
The highest-paid governors have been putting at least part of their earnings into some impressive digs. Those homes often reflect the political headlines (not always favorable) we associate with statehouse power brokers.
Even though several governors' residences have seen protests in recent years, it may come as a surprise that the security upgrades to one such house on this year's list could have cost close to nine times as much as the home's market value.
Far away from the stress of balancing budgets, a governor in one of the country's most embattled states can relax in his personal home spa. For another, real estate itself has become the budget battle, with properties he owns delinquent on property taxes. There's even scandal in the home of one of the highest-paid governors, with some hefty renovation projects leading to allegations of improperly awarded city contracts.
Click ahead for a look at the homes of some top-paid U.S. governors (ranked by salary lowest to highest), and the stories behind the facades.

(CNN) -- A CBS correspondent was brutally attacked Friday in Cairo's Tahrir Square after the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the network said in a statement released Tuesday.
Lara Logan, 39, was covering celebrations for a "60 Minutes" story, the network said, when a frenzied mob of about 200 people surrounded her, her crew and their security team. Separated from the others in the chaos, Logan was surrounded, beaten and sexually assaulted, the statement said.
A group of women and about 20 Egyptian soldiers intervened to rescue the correspondent, the network said.
Logan reconnected with her team and returned to her hotel, CBS said. She returned Saturday to the United States, where she has been hospitalized.
CBS said it would have no further comment and that Logan and her family requested privacy.
Logan, a native of South Africa, began her work with CBS on "60 Minutes II" in 2002 and then moved to the original "60 Minutes" two years later. She was promoted to chief foreign correspondent in 2006 and to chief foreign affairs correspondent in 2008.
Earlier during the Cairo protests, Logan and her crew were detained overnight and interrogated.
"We were not attacked by crazy people in Tahrir Square," Logan told Esquire's The Politics Blog about the February 3 incident. "We were detained by the Egyptian army. Arrested, detained and interrogated. Blindfolded, handcuffed, taken at gunpoint, our driver beaten. It's the regime that arrested us. They arrested (our producer) just outside of his hotel, and they took him off the road at gunpoint, threw him against the wall, handcuffed him, blindfolded him. Took him into custody like that."
Logan spoke with the magazine Thursday night as she boarded a plane for her return to Egypt, saying that her interrogators accused her and her crew of being "Israeli agents," kept them in "stress positions" throughout the night and only reluctantly gave her medical treatment for an illness.
"I was violently, violently ill," she said. "I'd been ill for a few days -- I hadn't mentioned it to anyone at CBS."
At first, she said, they ignored her condition "until I vomited so much that they did have a medic see me at this secret facility -- they wouldn't tell us where we were. Then I was begging for an IV, and at first they wouldn't. I vomited up everything that the medic gave me. I vomited all over the interrogation cell. I vomited all over this office they put me in after that, and so eventually they put me on an IV."

Shirt! Shirts can be used as towels.....towels cannot be used as shirts.
I like the towel idea. I have tons of shirts, but keep losing towels. The tourney at Belle Park (a DD tourney) a couple years ago gave out towels with our name on it and we (wife, son and I ) thought that was awesome.

On Record
by Chester Lane, Michael Klinger, and Melinda Whiting
Archival collections from Boston, Cleveland, and New York seal the legacies of departing music directors.
Five or six years ago, the canceled recording contracts of some of our most prominent orchestras seemed an unthinkable loss. Many observers mourned the end of an era; critics pointed fingers, citing the expense of studio recording and the much-rumored but never-fulfilled "death" of classical music as a relevant art form.
But long before commercial record companies lost faith in orchestras, several orchestras (Chicago and Saint Louis come to mind) had already entered the record business themselves, privately issuing limited-pressing sets of archived concert performances that had been recorded live. Initially viewed as fund-raising premiums, these collections soon took on greater significance. First, they were popular with subscribers and donors -- to whom they were directly marketed - as well as the patrons of orchestra gift shops and local record stores. Second, they drew on decades of historic performances that deserved a modern audience. Finally, this new generation of discs replaced the record companies' increasingly clueless A & R departments with local personnel who knew the real strengths of the orchestras in question. Control over artistic decisions suddenly resided where it belonged: with the orchestras themselves. The result has been a series of thoughtful compilations that promise to clarify America's greatest orchestra-music director partnerships as definitively as did the most notable releases of classical recording's golden age.
During the 2001-02 season, three major collections were issued by orchestras with long and distinguished histories: Boston, Cleveland, and New York. All are bidding their music directors farewell this spring, and two of the sets are occasioned by those departures. Three SYMPHONY editors offer their impressions here.
Symphony Hall Centennial Celebration: From the Broadcast Archives
Boston Symphony Orchestra, various conductors 12 CDs, $225.00, available through www.bso.org
Acoustically speaking, Boston's Symphony Hall is often touted as among the very finest in the world, a space commensurate with an orchestra of the highest caliber. And the Boston Symphony Orchestra punctuated the start of the 2001-02 season with a fitting aural companion to the two books it published in 2000 to chronicle the hall's distinguished history. Symphony Hall Centennial Celebration -- produced by the BSO in an initial quantity of 4,000 -- showcases the orchestra's artistry in that hall under Seiji Ozawa, his five immediate predecessors as music director, and sixteen other conductors. It's a magnificently annotated twelve-CD treasure trove that weighs in at just under three pounds.
Ozawa's two discs are devoted to music composed between 1911 and 1949, including a work, Trois Petites Liturgies de la Présence divine, by a composer, Olivier Messiaen, whose association with Ozawa has been one of the hallmarks of his historic 29-year tenure as music director. Most of the other conductors represented in the set are no longer with us. An emphatic exception is Michael Tilson Thomas, whose youthful brilliance can be heard in Prokofiev's Scythian Suite, broadcast in 1972 during his time as the BSO's principal guest conductor. (He had earlier served as assistant conductor and associate conductor.)
The earliest broadcast included is of a work conducted May 1, 1943 by Music Director Serge Koussevitzky, but the set actually captures an 80-year legacy of BSO leadership by devoting a disc to the work of Koussevitzky's predecessor Pierre Monteux, as heard in three of that conductor's return engagements during the 1950s and '60s. As music director from 1919 to 1924, Monteux had replaced a third of the orchestra following the devastating strike of 1920-21, and the notes tell us that he'd been "instrumental in changing the tonal complexion of the BSO from a German conception to a French one." Yet Monteux is represented here -- splendidly -- in works that are decidedly not French in character: Vaughan Williams's Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis and two Richard Strauss classics, Don Quixote and the Suite from Der Rosenkavalier.
Curiously absent from the set is Beethoven, the one composer that Symphony Hall's planners saw fit to enshrine in the proscenium arch. Repertoire is heavily weighted toward late Romantic and early- to mid-20th century, with the Classical period represented solely by Haydn's "Oxford" Symphony (under Bruno Walter) and by the Overture to Don Giovanni as dramatically shaped by an 86-year-old Leopold Stokowski in 1968. Like the Symphony No. 3 of Schubert -- the set's lone exemplar of early Romantic repertoire, conducted here by Bernard Haitink in 1992 three years before he assumed the title of principal guest conductor -- these older works are presented in the unabashedly lush mid-century orchestral tradition, in sharp contrast with the more transparent textures that today's period-performance practitioners bring to this repertoire.
As befits a passionate crusader for the music of his time, Koussevitzky's disc includes From the Apocalypse by Anatol Liadov, a 1913 work he had introduced to BSO audiences in 1925 and was serving up again in 1943; the world premiere, in 1949, of Symphony No. 2 ("The Age of Anxiety") by Koussevitzky's protégé Leonard Bernstein (whose breathtaking virtuosity as solo pianist dominates the performance); and the BSO's most enduring commission, Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra, which had been premiered December 1, 1944, and is heard here in its broadcast premiere 29 days later. The latter is truly an historic document in sound, as it includes the composer's original ending; the expanded, far more dramatic ending heard today is one that Bartók added based on discussions with Koussevitzky following the premiere. (Both endings appear in the published score.)
Largely devoid of guest soloists, the set focuses our attention on the virtuosity of BSO principals. Especially lovely are the solos in Wagner's Siegfried Idyll (an exquisite performance from 1965 under Music Director Erich Leinsdorf); those of cellist Samuel Mayes and violist Joseph de Pasquale, who bring Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza whimsically -- quixotically -- to life in some of the most programmatically rich music ever penned by Richard Strauss; and Concertmaster Joseph Silverstein's soaring violin arias in the Tallis Fantasy, a work that in Monteux's hands becomes an orgy of string textures, unbelievably lush and varied. (Just tune out the coughing: This December 20, 1963 concert occurred at the onset of Boston's cold-and-flu season.)
An illustrated 140-page booklet included with the set provides exhaustive information on the BSO, an account of its broadcast history, and texts for the Messiaen, Bartók, and Stravinsky works led by Ozawa. Each of six two-CD booklets includes the original program notes as well as bios, photos, reminiscences, and selections from contemporary reviews. Inclusion of these critical comments along with the notes is an inspired feature of the collection, as it gives us a window into what the critic was hearing as we hear it ourselves. Franck's Le Chasseur maudit describes a cursed huntsman "pursued by a pack of demons...by daytime across abysses, at midnight through the air," and when Charles Munch conducted this tone poem in October of 1959 Boston Globe critic Cyrus Durgin likened the performance to "a general alarm conflagration." We can now revisit a long-ago evening in Symphony Hall and delight in that fire, still raging after more than four decades. -- Chester Lane
Christoph von Dohnányi Compact Disc Edition: Live Performances 1984
through 2001
The Cleveland Orchestra, Christoph von Dohnányi, cond. 10 CDs, $175.00, available through www.clevelandorchestra.com or by phone at 1-800-686-1141
When the Cleveland Orchestra appeared this season at Carnegie Hall, their New York programs were emblematic of those throughout Christoph von Dohnányi's tenure. They invited the audience to imagine the lines that inevitably connect the many paths of a rich orchestral legacy -- lines from Beethoven to Wolfgang Rihm. And they fully justified the frequent application of the term "intellectual" to Dohnányi.
This boxed set provides a similar sweep, with aural snapshots of what the orchestra sounded like on given evenings in Cleveland. Because the recordings are live, there is -- in addition to the vague sense of an audience (coughing) -- the intangible sense that at any moment something truly amazing is about to happen. All live recordings strive for this; what's most rewarding about the Dohnányi compilation is its success on that front. More than a few times, some truly amazing things do happen.
The first hits immediately: a riveting and vital performance from October, 1984 -- early in Dohnányi's first full season as music director -- of Schoenberg's large-scale choral work, Jakobsleiter (Jacob's Ladder). From the beginning, hyperactive rumblings in the low strings betray Dohnányi's sincere devotion to Schoenberg's music. The set ends with similar power, in the emphatic last movement of Sibelius's Symphony No. 5. In between, Bruckner's mammoth Symphony No. 4 is presented with such understanding and generosity that listeners will, at several points, wish they had been present in the concert hall to bear witness.
What the recordings naturally lack -- and some pieces suffer more than others -- is the finish that studio recordings can achieve. In particular, the strings give a matte sound, hard-working and muscular (although this works to astonishing advantage in Beethoven's 5th Symphony). Generally, the balance favors the back of the orchestra -- the glorious playing of the brass and winds -- at the expense of the strings. This may be why the whole orchestra seems to make its strongest statements in pieces like Edgard Varèse's Ecuatorial and Lutoslawski's Musique Funèbre, where solo playing shapes the interpretations to a larger extent.
The set, as seems true of Dohnányi's work generally, raises questions about symphonic forms: their relevance, their durability, and their relationship to the past. When works by Varèse appear alongside Delius and Haydn, one starts inevitably to wonder about the conductor who can advocate so convincingly for all three. How does the same orchestra, the same conductor, approach both the simple -- almost embarrassingly so -- ardor and might of Anton Bruckner, and then also address Charles Ives in Central Park in the Dark? How do they capture Wagner's straightforward "Rienzi" Overture, and also make a mark on Shostakovich's First Symphony? Of course this is a conductor's job. But Dohnányi's feat is remarkable simply because the performances are so convincing; some of these composers really should be irreconcilable. That they are not, at least for today's Cleveland Orchestra, seems owing in large part to the magnanimity of Dohnányi, and his polite refusal to acknowledge such boundaries.
Dohnányi responds with typical erudition to the uneasy pairing of music in which all elements fall cleanly into place (Schubert's "Unfinished") alongside music which, in the fashion particular to the 20th century, refers to a terrifying crisis of belief (Schoenberg's A Survivor from Warsaw). Alfred Schnittke walked the line between them, assimilating music from both sides of an impassable divide and commenting on it. Listen, for instance, to the neo-Classical jargon of Schnittke's (K)ein Sommernachtstraum, in which we hear the strains of Ives's marching bands against a delicate Mozartean parlor waltz.
Most conductors are easily able to perform music of the old alongside music of the new. But Dohnányi sets himself the added labor of examining openly the artistic and human shifts that have transpired over time. Straddling centuries through which the very purpose of orchestral music has constantly evolved, Dohnányi gives a sense of his orchestra's relationship not only with the past, but with the very exciting future. -- Michael Klinger
Kurt Masur at the New York Philharmonic
New York Philharmonic, Kurt Masur, cond.
10 CDs, $140.00, available as a full collection or in six separate sets from www.nyphilharmonic.org or by phone at 800-557-8268
When Kurt Masur was named the New York Philharmonic's new music director more than a decade ago, much of the music world let out a collective (albeit polite), "Who?" Of course he wasn't unknown; in a happier era for the classical recording industry, his discs with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra had become a familiar presence on record store shelves and on the airwaves. But with a reputation built behind the Iron Curtain, Masur was hardly a household name in the United States. As it happened, he was one of several middle-European maestri taken on by major American orchestras from the mid-1980s to the mid-'90s (Dohnányi, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Hans Vonk). All had quietly built solid reputations as thorough, probing musicians who gave deeply satisfying performances; none had set the world on fire. Given a few years in America, all proved to be masters at honing the distinctive qualities of their respective orchestras.
In New York in 1991, the task was widely acknowledged to be the taming -- and seduction -- of a group of 106 soloists. Masur encouraged them to listen more carefully to one another, and to shed their aggressiveness, bred perhaps by the notoriously loud Avery Fisher Hall. The ten-disc farewell set produced by the Philharmonic's own Special Editions label documents Masur's success; this is an orchestra that melds in a way it never used to -- at least when playing for its music director. And several impressive solo appearances by Philharmonic members testify to their undiminished virtuosity.
First-stand violists Cynthia Phelps and Rebecca Young are standouts in the graceful Two Paths, a double concerto in a single movement by Sofia Gubaidulina that Masur has been eager to disseminate widely through tour performances and a national broadcast. In May of 2001, Two Paths was played to an especially broad audience in a free concert at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, where thousands listened in rapt silence as the two viola lines wound sinuously around one another. (Masur's advocacy of this work is a model for how new music should be treated: carefully rehearsed to start with, and pulled out frequently for the musicians to grow more at ease with it and the audience to peel back its many layers.) Though this recording was drawn from the premiere performances, already there's an obvious comfort with the music's overall shape that few commissioned works achieve in their first outing. Phelps and Young are perfect partners, their discourse almost conversational in its repose. One could as easily single out the melting sweetness of Concertmaster Glenn Dicterow's "Benedictus" solo in Beethoven's Missa Solemnis, or Principal Percussionist Christopher Lamb's keen exploration of every variation of water sound in the eerie and luminous Water Percussion Concerto by Tan Dun, or the crystalline chamber musicianship of a core of Philharmonic players in Stravinsky's Pulcinella.
Another Masur signature was the rediscovery of great choral classics. Here the set also shines, with satisfying traversals of Bach's Saint Matthew Passion, the Beethoven Missa Solemnis and Symphony No. 9, and several dramatic choral works that resist obvious categorization as either oratorio or opera. Consider: Perséphone, Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher, Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien. (It's interesting to note how many of these are in French -- an unexpected twist.) For good measure, he adds Hans Werner Henze's angst-ridden choral Symphony No. 9.
The box spotlights some of Masur's favorite collaborators. The clarion-voiced Stuart Neill appears as tenor soloist in no fewer than three works; Swiss actress Marthe Keller narrates two, with an appealing immediacy and specificity of emotion. Peter Schreier's Evangelist in the Saint Matthew Passion is unforgettable; his clarity of intent easily vaults the language barrier. Joseph Flummerfelt prepared almost all the choruses, whether the professionals of the New York Choral Artists (its mature sopranos' vibrati spiked with the squeaky-clean straight tone of the American Boys Choir), or the eager conservatory youngsters of the Westminster Symphonic Choir.
Viewed on the podium, the towering Masur rarely seemed a witty figure. So it's an unanticipated pleasure to hear the humor emerge so readily in Pulcinella and in two jaunty Shostakovich works (the Second Piano Concerto and the First Symphony). These are counterbalanced by a more thoughtful Russian entry, Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead. Masur creates a compelling impression of a passing boat's gradual magnetic pull toward the island, where death exerts an ever-stronger influence, and its passage beyond, quietly and irrevocably changed. He judges this slow unfolding with perfect restraint.
The ten discs are cannily programmed as six separate sets, available out of the box for those who have specialized tastes. This makes for some intriguing combinations. There's the monumental Beethoven pair (Missa Solemnis, the Ninth), the Russian masters disc (Rachmaninoff, the Shostakovich First Symphony, Gubaidulina), the neoclassic-dramatic set (Stravinsky, Honegger), religious subjects approached from sacred and profane angles (Bach, Debussy), the up-to-the-minute contemporary duo (Kancheli, Henze), and -- with a certain sense of collecting up the uncategorizable leftovers -- the catchall collection (Tan Dun's Water Percussion Concerto, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Till Eulenspiegel, Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2, and Kurt Weill's "September Song").
This collection was clearly designed to define a legacy. Though Masur's full range is not quite fully embraced -- oddly absent are Mendelssohn and Brahms, probably because he's recorded them commercially -- the set also declares to the world the less obvious, but no less impassioned, advocacies of this complicated musician. Widely characterized as a guardian of the mainstream Classical and Romantic repertoire, Masur deserves credit for his convincing interpretations of a much broader range of works. New York's audiences have been fortunate indeed to hear such a focused, dramatic reading of Jeanne d'Arc, such delicacy and mystère in the orchestra's playing of Saint Sébastien, the muscle of Masur's Missa Solemnis. As he and his producers no doubt intended, this collection clarifies once and for all who Kurt Masur is. -- Melinda Whiting

This interactive map documents where 443 million people around the world get there water (although the United States data is by far the most extensive). Most people can't answer this question. A recent poll by The Nature Conservancy discoverd that 77% of Americans (not on private well water) don't know where their water comes from, they just drink it. This link has videos, infographics and suggestions to promote cleaner water. This is also a fabulous example of an embedded map using ArcGIS Online to share geospatial data with a wider audience.

Testament Guitarists Fill in for Ailing Scott Ian at Anthrax's Kansas City Show
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian was forced to sit out of last night's (Jan. 26) show in Kansas City, Mo., after taking ill. Filling in for Ian at the show were the two guitarists Alex Skolnick and Eric Peterson from co-headliners Testament, as well as musicians from Death Angel who all switched off during different songs throughout Anthrax's set.
Very shortly before taking the stage at the Midland last night, Scott Ian found himself unable to perform. No further details regarding the axe-man's illness have been made publicly known and as of this posting, Ian has not been active on his Twitter page since missing the show.
As Anthrax took the stage last night, frontman Joey Belladonna addressed the issue. "Thanks for bearing with us," vocalist Joey Belladonna told the audience. "We'll be as good as we can." The Kansas City Star reported that Belladonna became a little flustered with the unpredictability and understandable sloppiness of the show. "Who's next?" Belladonna asked onstage. "I don't even know who's coming in and out."
Prior to the show, Ian spoke with the Kansas City Star about Belladonna's return to the band. "Joey is the singer of Anthrax until there is no more Anthrax," Ian declared. "I think it's been proven beyond doubt this is the band that is supposed to be Anthrax."

Joan Smalls' Winter Skin Tip
Model Joan Smalls was giving good glow backstage at Diane von Furstenburg's FW/14 show in New York this weekend. Given the sub-zero temps, falling snow, and lack of sun, we had to know her skincare secret. "I mix Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair ($120) with Re-Nutriv ($275) at night," Smalls says. "It's actually not age appropriate for me, but it's so rich and between the shows and the weather—I need it!"
Try adding a drop or two of your favourite face oil into your winter moisturizer before bed for a hydration boost. Your plumped, happy skin will thank you!

Or more, out of all the ones we have seen so far, do you have a favorite? Why is that one your favorite? There are many that are aimlessly in the background in some of the panels. Do you like that apostle because of its design? Personality? (If it has one.)I am still playing catching up on Berserk, but I really liked the Kelpie. I liked this creature so much because well, frog horse. And didn't expect it to be a kelpie, and I love kelpies so I was surprised to see it! I saw it, thought it was funny. I also very much like Grunbeld as well.So what about you guys? Do you have a favorite? Is there also one you like the least?
Hard to say "best" for me, but one of my favorite moments involving magical creatures was Daiba's use of the Kundalini. The little water snake projected a massive water form and tore Vritannis harbor to shreds. I really can't wait to see what else Miura has cooking for us along those lines.
Really tough question. First creature that popped into my head was the kelpie, and I think it might be my favorite. But as for apostle? Geez, I don't think I can answer that. I tend to change based on who's getting more current attention in the manga.
I'd say Mozgus was my least favorite in terms of appearance. I loved him as a villain, but his second form makes him look like The Thing from Fantastic 4.
Honestly the Count is a fantastic design. He's just so creepy and original looking. And that mouth...
If we talk about apostles, Zodd is my favorite by far.
This is a little less traditional but i adore all of the apostle troops in Zodd's "division" and my favourite creature is a lanky chicken looking one that routinely shows up in the crowds. By my count he's survived two skirmishes with the Kushan and the raid on Flora's. Currently MIA as of Falconia's inception but counting on him to pull through.

Wintry mix sweeps across Southwestern Conn.
Staff reports
A wintry mix of rain and snow led to early dismissals at some schools, postponed several state tournament football games and created a bit of a messy commute across Southwestern Connecticut Tuesday night.
Most of the region received from a coating of a snow up to 1 or 2 inches, but 3 or 4 inches fell in some higher elevations in the state. The heaviest bands of snow moved through Fairfield and New Haven counties around 6 p.m. as temperatures dropped.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for Fairfield and New Haven counties that expired at 8 p.m., but warned that travel conditions could remain treacherous throughout the night.
"After the precipitation ends, the other concern is refreezing and black ice," said WTNH News 8 meteorologist Quincy Vagell. "Roadways right down to the coast will become icy."
Vagell said the slippery conditions could still be in place for the early morning commute Wednesday.
As the storm moved into the area Tuesday afternoon, many schools in the Naugatuck Valley, the Danbury area, along with Wilton and New Canaan let students out early. The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference postponed all but four of the sixteen state championship football games set to be played Tuesday night. The delayed games were moved to Wednesday.
Several minor crashes were reported by local and state police, and the precipitation intensified normal rush hour delays on state roads, including Interstate 95, the Merritt Parkway and Route 8. The roads were slick in some spots, despite pre-treatment by state Department of Transportation crews.
The storm was expected to fully move out of the region by midnight, while snow could continue in some inland, eastern portions of the state until the early morning.
Wednesday is forecast to be sunny, but breezy and chilly. Highs will be between 38 to 42. The forecast for the remainder of the week is similar, with temperatures in the high 30s or low 40s and no rain or snow expected.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 158 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
Vista Del Mar Senior Living
We are a creative commercial real estate company who recently acquired its first Assisted Living Community. The building is aprx. 106,000 SF and is comprised of 172 rooms located in Long Beach, CA USA.
The project was completed in 1982 and is 3 stories, wood & stucco, with a wood frame. In recent years the facility had been a bit neglected due the previous owner's poor health and limited financial resources. Upon acquisition there was much deferred maintenance and unsightly conditions due to poor management. We need to rebrand to change the past perception of this community.
The project is currently named Magnolia Senior Living but we are ditching that name and renaming it Vista Del Mar Senior Living because the area of Long Beach the facility falls in is called Vista Del Mar (however, there is no ocean view).
Since we purchased the property 3 months ago, we have started a ground up renovation of the property. So far we have repainted the exterior, remodeled the restrooms on the first floor, remodeled the lobby, created a new marketing center, and started to replace furniture, carpet, and paint throughout the building. We have kept the vast majority of the employees and are in the process of re-educating them to be more productive and conscious towards our residents. We have invested a large amount of capital and ourselves to make sure this project succeeds both as an investment and as a project where people's lives are improved.
Prospective residents and their families: Most people entering assisted living facilities are in their late 80s, this is the WWII generation, not the Baby-Boomers. However, most often we are marketing more toward the Baby-Boomer generation because they are the ones putting their parents in assisted living facilities. We want a design that both Baby-Boomers and the WWII generation can relate to.
We do not have a view of the ocean. Although the name of the neighborhood we are in is Vista Del Mar, the beach is 3 miles away, so please keep the ocean out of this contest.
We want a logo that is snappy, concise and meaningful. We want something inviting. We want to emphasize that we are evolving and rebranding. The thought of adding a dragonfly is being considered but not locked in. Please look at http://www.sunriseseniorliving.com, http://www.atriaseniorliving.com and http://www.silveradosenior.com – they are a few of key players in the industry.
We just painted the exterior of the building green, yellow, and brick red - see pictures attached. We are not married to those colors but hope the colors in the design can complement the building.

There was no holiday break for The Real Housewives of Atlanta, as Bravo aired a new episode of the drama tonight. Back from Anguilla, marriage was the matter at hand for most of the ladies -- from who wanted a ring on their finger (Kenya Moore, obnoxiously so; and Kandi Burruss, in a subtly hopeful way) to whose ring may be starting to rub them the wrong way (Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida).
First let's talk about Phaedra and Apollo. When it comes to her relationship, Phaedra is typically a closed book with nothing but praise for her man. "Marriage is sacred," she has repeatedly said, but tonight, she was quick to tell Kandi and her man all about the things that drive her crazy about Apollo -- from him leaving the toilet seat up to talking too much too early in the morning. "There are days I want to inure him," she told them.
Then there were the divorce rumors that hit a blog claiming Apollo and Phaedra were headed to divorce court. Cynthia Bailey saw them, and somehow figured that since she had heard that Apollo spends ample amounts of time at strip clubs they should all double date to one.
More from The Stir: Inside Real Housewife Phaedra Parks' Tacky Home (PHOTOS)
So there, amidst aging, overweight strippers, the four of them threw money while Apollo went on and on about how they have lost themselves since marriage and something about the "center of time scale." Basically, he let it be known that their marriage isn't as perfect as it seems. He unleashed even further when he was doing shots with the guys at Cynthia's event, saying sometimes he feels like he's dealing with a "goddamn beast." (Side note: Is it really possible that when he was in prison he didn't see sunlight for 16 months?!)
In the end, Phaedra and Apollo did some very aggressive and sloppy kissing in front of everyone to debunk the divorce rumors (not pretty). Phaedra said she's not letting Apollo go unless Uncle Willie (a funeral director) wheels him out. It may or may not have been convincing, but on the heels of news this weekend that Phaedra and Apollo are expecting their second baby, it's pretty safe to say the divorce rumors were just rumors. Way to nip that speculation/manufactured drama in the bud.
Then there was Kenya Moore, who I'm already so sick of I could scream. I thought she may have scraped up what's left of her pride and walked after her meeting with Walter over lunch in which he told her he loves her but not enough to marry her then and didn't know if he would in six months either. But it seems she's not ready to let him get away that easy even if he'd rather do shots with the guys and hide from her. She got annoyed, but not so annoyed that previews for next week don't show her still trying to talk him into marrying her. Hard to get definitely isn't a game this girl plays. Of course, it's all a big game, so the whole thing is just mind numbing to watch.
The end of their fake relationship is near it seems; the only real question is how they'll choose to end it. Considering Kenya is part of the mix, it's likely not to be without drama.
Meanwhile, NeNe was busy swimming in diamonds for her Ebony cover shoot; and Porsha was eating yams in her quest to get pregnant with twins. As for Kandi, she was just staying calm and hoping all of the other crazy ladies wouldn't scare her man, Todd Tucker, off. Rumors circulating this weekend that they're secretly engaged may mean it paid off. Hopefully congrats are in order.
Which Atlanta couple do you think will stay together the longest? For the least amount of time?

The U.S. Department of Justice has unveiled a broad probe into complaints that authorities haven't been aggressive enough in investigating sexual assault reports in Missoula, Montana. The investigation includes a review of the handling of sexual assault and harassment reports at the University of Montana at Missoula, where at least 11 student-related sex assault cases have surfaced in recent months.
Bill Otis, at Crime and Consequences, argues that the Holder Justice Department is over-reaching, and that does seem to be the case. Why, Bill asks, does rape in Missoula, Montana warrant federal investigation? According to local authorities, the incidence of rape in Missoula, a town of 86,000 people, is on par with similarly sized college towns. Moreover, both the University of Montana's hugely successful football coach and its athletic director have lost their jobs due to allegations of rape against members of the football. So, it's not as if rape accusations aren't being taken seriously.
Bill argues, all too plausibly, that the real reason for the DOJ's action is politics. The investigation ties in nicely with President Obama's bogus "war on women" theme.

SI 2000 gave 15 of Ohio's brightest high school freshmen and sophomores real-world experience in the dynamic fields of high performance computing (HPC) and networking. SI students saw how scientists solve problems using computing and networking -- and participated in the process.
During this two-week residential program at OSC, students got hands-on training in programming and visualization, as well as attended lectures by OSC's faculty of experts in HPC, networking and related fields. They heard the latest on hot topics like parallel programming in engineering and physics and advanced networking. Students worked together in small groups with scientists, learned how to apply scientific methods to their studies, and solved complex problems with their peers using OSC resources. The program concluded with formal student presentations about project results, just as scientists do when they complete a study. The SI experience allowed students to exercise problem-solving, use interpersonal communication skills, and be creative -- all while learning about HPC and networking.
And SI 2000 wasn't just about spending time in the classroom. SI participants learned about team building while navigating obstacle courses at the Adventure Education Center. Students got a behind-the-scenes view of the OSU campus. They also visited science-, engineering- and math-related attractions throughout Columbus.

The SI team projects challenged the students and encouraged cooperation and rapport building with peers. Students had the opportunity to venture into the world of high performance computing and networking and face the real world challenges that many of our high performance computing users encounter. Each project required the "scientists" or "engineers" (students) to understand the problem, write a computer program to solve the problem and visualize the results. Each SI participant took part in a team project with two or three peers. The students selected their teams, elected a project leader and chose a project from the list below.

- Scattering of Electrons in Matter
- Networking
- Mechanical Engineering

One of our highly recruited areas of study, in the Allied Health School, is Respiratory Therapy. It is an exciting field which has undergone significant growth and change over the past 40 years. Successful students of the RRT program at HutchCC will provide care for a variety of patients ranging in age from newborns to the elderly who are suffering from pulmonary or cardiac diseases. Respiratory Therapists are also an important part of the intensive care team at many hospitals, working with patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
The field of respiratory therapy is expected to explode in demand in the next decade, with the US Department of Labor anticipating a 20% increase in job openings for certified and Registered Respiratory Therapists. Students can also pursue certifications in specialty areas such as asthma education, pulmonary function technology, sleep technology, or neonatology to further enhance their job opportunities.
Respiratory Therapists enjoy a competitive salary; with double-digit per hour wages the average. In Kansas alone, the average salary is more than $20 per hour, and it is only expected to climb in the future.
HutchCC's Program for Respiratory Therapy has a bridge agreement with the University of Kansas. The agreement provides respiratory therapists with an associate's degree from a participating college, the opportunity to receive their bachelor of science in respiratory therapy from KU. Students must meet the prerequisite course work for the University of Kansas and upon graduation, enter into the summer before their senior year.

The mayor of the town where allies of Gov. Chris Christie created traffic jams last fall has met with federal prosecutors.
Tim Donohue, the lawyer for Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, confirmed the meeting in a statement issued Monday.
Donohue said Sokolich voluntarily met with members of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Newark on Friday to discuss the lane closures at the George Washington Bridge last September. But Donohue said neither he nor Sokolich would provide further comment on the meeting due to the ongoing criminal investigation.
Emails and text messages subpoenaed by a New Jersey legislative committee have revealed that an aide to Christie emailed a high-level Port Authority of New York and New Jersey official and told him, "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."

Giants must take advantage of opportunity
CHICAGO -- You never know what's going to turn a playoff race.
"You can't dope it out," the late Hall of Famer Johnny Evers said. "All you can do is to call it baseball and let it go at that."View Full Game Coverage
CHICAGO -- You never know what's going to turn a playoff race.
"You can't dope it out," the late Hall of Famer Johnny Evers said. "All you can do is to call it baseball and let it go at that."View Full Game Coverage
In 1964, during a 10-game losing streak that cost them the pennant, the Phillies lost September games on steals of home by Willie Davis and Chico Ruiz. In 1969, a black cat walked in front of the Cubs' dugout at Shea Stadium.
Doug Rader fired up the unexpectedly strong 1983 White Sox by saying they were "winning ugly." Lou Whitaker was doing the splits at a party in September 1988 when he felt something pop in his right knee and was lost for the year. In 2007, Milton Bradley took out Padres teammate Mike Cameron in an outfield collision, and later in the same game was lost for the season when he was tackled while charging umpire Mike Winters.
Evers was right. We wouldn't have doped any of that out, not even with proprietorial software.
Now, thanks to a ruling by Joe Torre in their favor following Tuesday night's tarp incident, it's the Giants' turn to take advantage and step up to the plate. They've been steadily sliding back into the crowd of also-rans since the end of a 31-11 run on June 8 but now have a cause to rally around.
When the Giants left Wrigley Field at some point around 2 a.m. CT on Wednesday, they were fuming about a 2-0 loss that ended 4 1/2 innings early because of unplayable field conditions -- the result of the grounds crew's inability to properly cover the field during a summer squall.
At one point back in June, the Giants led the Dodgers by 9 1/2 games. But Tuesday's loss dropped them 4 1/2 games back in the National League West and into a virtual tie with the Braves for the second NL Wild Card spot. No wonder they were steaming.
The Cubs weren't exactly gloating, either. Team president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer felt terrible that their infield would not dry, remaining a quagmire even after Hunter Wendelstedt's crew had allowed a delay of four hours and 34 minutes. Epstein and Hoyer supported San Francisco's arguments to have the umpires declare it a suspended game, to be resumed on Wednesday, but the crew did not feel the rules allowed for such flexibility.
But on Wednesday, after the Giants filed a formal protest, Major League Baseball concurred with their claim that the difficulties resulted from "mechanical" issues with the tarp. That meant the game could be suspended at the point it was interrupted, and that's where it will pick up on Thursday at 4:05 p.m. CT , before the regularly scheduled 7:05 p.m. game.
It's possible that the Cubs felt as good about the ruling as San Francisco.
"It's a good result," Hoyer said. "The last thing you want is a playoff team feeling bitter about the result here, something, obviously, that was caused by our organization. It's a good outcome. Hopefully, we'll win the game. We've got a 2-0 lead. But I definitely feel it was a just outcome."
Torre's ruling came down about an hour before the start of Wednesday's game, and the Giants celebrated with a four-run first inning off Edwin Jackson. It was the kind of inning they'd had often earlier in the season -- with singles by Angel Pagan and Hunter Pence starting the rally and Pablo Sandoval contributing a sacrifice fly -- and it was easy to think, "Here they come, the Giants who nobody will want to face in October."
Before the ruling, this had been a snakebitten team, one worried about a sore left hip that kept Buster Posey out of the lineup and even more so about the well-being of Brandon Belt, who is expected to be out at least two or three more weeks as he battles concussion issues. But suddenly San Francisco was given the rarest opportunity in baseball -- the chance to literally wipe a loss off its record.
Giants president Larry Baer spoke for the team, saying that he appreciates MLB's "careful review of our protest." He thanks Commissioner Bud Selig, Commissioner-elect Rob Manfred, Torre and the Cubs organization for their cooperation throughout the process.
Manager Bruce Bochy was impressed by how his players responded to the long, bizarre night at Wrigley Field.
"They know there's no point in dwelling on what happened last night," said Bochy, who has pretty much seen everything. "You have to come out and play. You have no choice in this game. You're going to have some ups and downs. We got in late last night, came out today, really not talking about it. Worried about tonight's game."
Now it's time to start worrying about Tuesday's game -- the one they will get a chance to finish on Thursday.
You've still got to take them one at a time, even if the order can sometimes get confusing.
The Giants have been given a rare chance. It's up to them to take advantage of it.
