'A snowball's chance in hell' – something we say about things that are virtually impossible. While a snowball might, theoretically, have a very small chance of surviving hellish conditions, we all know it won't. It seems a waste of time to put that theory to the test, but yesterday GE has unveiled its 'Unimpossible Missions' project to celebrate the birthday of Thomas Edison, the father of electricity. As part of that project, they decided to combine 3D printing and GE's top level industrial engineering capacity to realize the virtually impossible, and have enabled a snowball to survive hellish conditions. Check out the video below.
If you're an American citizen with an interest in science, 11 February is a day you won't have missed. It's not just Edison's birthday, but also National Inventors Day, as proclaimed by President Reagan in the 1980s. Thomas Edison, of course, talked about seemingly impossible things, but developing the first type of gramophone and creating a stable light bulb was just about as far as he got. To honor those achievements, GE (together with BBDO New York) decided to create three cool videos of projects that we all consider impossible. Aside from giving a snowball a chance in hell, they also made a wall talk and caught lightening in a bottle. All, they say, in an effort to debunk popular idioms with the help of GE's research labs.
As you can see below, all clips are about two to three minutes long and present scientific achievements in a fantastically cool, James Bond-esque style, doubtlessly also in an attempt to make science (and GE) cool. "We are always looking for ways to talk about the great work that goes on at GE and marry it with the wonder and awe of science," said Linda Boff, CMO at GE. "As a brand, we are constantly thinking about what's new and next for the world with our technology, and to mirror that it in our marketing and the way we tell our story." But exposing a snowball to hellish heat obviously interested us the most, because it involved 3D printing.
And it certainly is a very impressive scientific achievement. Essentially, they packed a snowball in a container capable of withstanding what GE believes is closest to hell on earth: a molten metal vat with a temperature of over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. To do so, they have packed the snowball in a simple ABS 3D printed container, which they placed in a vessel made from a super alloy typically used in jet engines – a metal that has to withstand that kind of heat on a daily basis. The container was then filled up with dry ice. That is then lowered into a vat of molten metal slag and once it comes out, lo and behold, the snowball is still intact! It perfectly illustrates just how heat-resistant top level materials used in jet engines, nuclear reactors and gas turbines really are. While the outside of the vessel heated up to 1,100 degrees Celsius, the snowball remained a nice, chilly minus 100 degrees Celsius.
All this sounds pretty remarkable, but materials processing engineer Steve Buresh, who works at GE Global Research, revealed that it isn't so difficult when working with a team of top level mechanical engineers, chemists, physicists, and materials scientists. As he explained on the GE website, they had all the experience on board that they needed. "Most of the folks work on jet engines and gas turbines, but others specialize in oil and gas, healthcare and even lighting. In medicine, they are exploring materials for X-ray targets that must take a lot of heat. Their insights were very helpful," he reveals. He himself was involved in making and testing the vessel and designing the insulation setup. All in all, it took a few weeks to prepare for the actual test.
As he explains, the team quickly reached a consensus on developing an adequate insulation container. "We focused on a nickel-based super alloy that's normally used to build gas turbine shrouds and shields and can handle as much as 1,300 degrees Celsius. The wall of the vessel was about an eighth of an inch thick and we lined it with 2 inches of fibrous insulation made from alumina-silicate that's normally on the outside of things like a jet engine," he reveals. The dry ice interior (with a 3D printed container in the middle) also helped. "The sphere would sit in the dry ice and hold the snowball. We ran the calculations and estimated we had enough to lower the temperature from 1,100 degrees Celsius on the outside to minus 100 degrees on the inside."
Remarkably, the only thing they didn't engineer to the max was the 3D printed container. While GE has plenty of experience with metal 3D printing, it is just a simple ABS container. "Its main function was to prevent the snowball from getting crushed. The insulation, which was a bit like a blanket, also helped to keep the snowballs from breaking," he explains.
But even now, they weren't sure how the experiment would go. "The foundry was in a remote location and we couldn't bring the tools with us to measure the temperature of the slag we immersed it in," the engineer explains. "Waiting for the vessel to cool down seemed like forever. We lost some of the dry ice and there was a slag and oxide layer on the outside of the vessel, but the snowball were intact. We were elated. It's really the power of the GE Store, the idea that we have so many experts of different disciplines and can bring them together to leverage that knowledge and experience. I saw it happen."

Usually when you browse to http://www.yoursite.com/ the browser leads you to index.php because this is the default file where you get to when only pointing on directory/
If you wish to have portal.php or another files as your default you can easily manage it by creating a .htaccess file.
In order to create a .htaccess file take the following mesures:
1.Open the .htaccess file in your forum root with an editor like windows editor, notepad, wordpad etc.
(You may need to download the file and open it afterwards)
2.Enter the code below at the end:
- Code: Select all
DirectoryIndex index.html
(you can replace index.html with whatever file you want, e.g. portal.php)
3. Save the file
4.Upload and overwrite the exisiting one
(if your editor creates a htaccess.txt - upload this one, delete the old .htaccess, and rename the htaccess.txt to .htaccess)
Now your directory index is the file you typed in.

Common Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is an underappreciated small tree. It blends into the background most of the year until late Fall when in bloom. How many other trees are in bloom in early December?
Where to Plant Common Witch Hazel
Don't use Common Witch Hazel in your foundation planting. It's informal habit won't work with modern homes. If you live in a rustic log cabin nestled in the woods I say, "Go for it!"
Plant this large shrub on the edge of the woods where it can blend in most of the year and give late Fall interest.

About 3,400 Victoria County property owners object to appraisal
By BY MELISSA CROWE - firstname.lastname@example.com
June 12, 2014 at 1:12 a.m.
More than 3,400 Victoria County property owners are hoping for a break on their tax appraisals this year.
The Victoria County Appraisal District will begin hearing arguments Monday from property owners who filed for a protest, including Darryl Burns.
"We all sense that there's something unsettling about not just our tax situation," Burns said. "We're all trying to fix the same things."
Burns' property, a 3-acre tract off Krawietz Road - 2 acres of which is a pond - has more than doubled in value during five years.
When he received his appraisal notice, Burns knew immediately he'd file a protest on the $32,970 value, which is an increase of $7,010 over the previous year.
Last year, about 3 percent of Victoria County property owners took steps to contest their appraisals. The appraisal review board adjusted about a fourth of those.
Deputy Chief Appraiser Diane Munson said not every person who files a protest goes before the appraisal review board. Taxpayers can work with an appraiser to reach an agreement on the value. If that's unsuccessful, the taxpayer can then have a 15-minute hearing before the five-person appraisal review board, Munson said.
Burns, a self-described libertarian, disagrees with the process.
"They should come to us, come to my house and say why they're charging this," he said. "It's 'bass-ackwards.' ... If I don't pay my taxes, the government is going to come and get it. We rent our property from the state."

Congrats to our new PhDs!
New drugs are urgently needed to treat malaria, which causes nearly one million deaths per year, mostly very young children. We study the basic molecular and cellular biology of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, in order to identify new antimalarial drug targets. Our primary research goals are to understand the biological functions of specific metabolic pathways in the malaria parasite--that is, to understand what the parasite needs to make, and why it needs to make it.
We are located on the 6th floor of the McDonnell Pediatric Research Building.

Art by Roffles Lowell
My schedule is still fairly harsh through this coming week, but after Saint Paddy's Day, things will slow down a bit for me. I hope to be posting more regularly.
Things are coming along smoothly so far on the publication process of the first volume of JAKE AND THE DYNAMO, which is currently under the working title of Down and Out in Fifth Grade. There's no projected publication date yet, but some of the earliest preliminary work is done. I'm working on the bonus content: I had originally produced an extra chapter, but now I'm unhappy with it, and I'm considering instead including a novelette featuring Rifle Maiden's misadventures while babysitting the Bubble Princesses.
I believe I've chosen a studio for cover art, and I don't think he'll mind if I say that I'm talking to Roffles Lowell about the possibility of doing interior illustrations. No commitments have been made, so this post isn't an attempt to pressure him or anything. But I really enjoy the YA look of his style, and I appreciate that it differs from the standard style of Japanese light novels or Japanese-influenced work. This is obviously a weeb novel, so I like the idea of the art being non-weeb.
In the midst of our conversation, Roffles sent me the above picture of Team Pizza to show me what his work looks like in black and white, and he told me to do with the image as I wish. So this is me doing that. Featured up there, of course, are Pizza Margherita, her faithful dog Pepper, and Crazy Annie Shové, all riding comfortably on the Pie in the Sky.

Don't miss your chance to watch the next game of the San Francisco 49ers live online. Or any of the other games this season. It will be fun and very exciting to watch football games online, no matter the results.
Click here to learn how to watch football live streams now.
As Candlestick park continues to be known as the stadium for the 49ers, it seems like most people in the league are continuing to associate the 49ers as the team that knows how to win. The 49ers winning Super Bowl XVI in 1981 when they beat the Cincinnati Bengals 26-21 andthis certainly started a dynasty that many organizations have yet to experience. The parades in San Francisco were flooding the streets as everywhere I went I would see red and gold hats and t-shirts. The city was going crazy and certainly made the city excited to see what was next for the team from San Francisco. Three years later, Joe Montana went head to head with Dan Marino in what many will call the greatest quarterback battle in Super Bowl history. The San Francisco 49ers however were able to dominate the Dolphins and win 38-16. Dwight Clark was also a big key to this win and I certainly still remember how excited we were watching this game with so many people at home.
After just four more years, the Niners found themselves back in the Super Bowl in 1988 when they faced the Cincinnati Bengals once again. Joe Montana was once again at his best but when there was some quarterback controversy with Steve Young, it certainly had the city worried. With so much talent at the quarterback position, it was tough to really choose the starting quarterback. Jerry Rice and Roger Craig both had incredible seasons and Craig went on to win the NFL offensive player of the year. The Niners went on to win 2 more Super Bowl rings in 1989 and 1994 and certainly became the team of the 80's. This was certainly a great time for the city as more people became Niners fans throughout this incredible run. I will forever remember this as the time of my life that had me wearing red and gold on a daily basis.

It was alright
It might be just me, but the audio rapper was too slow to speak his verses, and they weren't really tied together well lyrical-wise. The animation was pretty simple, but on such a fast delivery of a flash video, that is exceptional, especially the lip syncing, which I have no clue on how to do. Overall, it was a great flash, but not the best choice in music (my opinion at least).
Oh and Paryl, no, no it doesn't. I fucking love Immortal Technique, check my userpage :P
yea well I made a game about this kid a year ago and felt kinda bad about it so I made a music vid. I thought this was his best rap song and so I went with it. i've watched all kinds of tutorials on lip synching and all were very helpful.
Pretty good
Not a bad rap at all, sounded a lot like immortal technique.
thanks, I've never heard of immortal technique.
that fat man must be a boomer
Lip sync was ok and animation fit in well enough to get it a good score.
thanks glad you thought it was decent.
nice lip sync and i love the song!
8/10 = almost awsum?
yea it's much tougher to animate a lip sync with music in the background. :D
Very funny.
Good animation as always.
Never heard this track from raccoon but he sounds way better than when I heard him last.
Nice stuff bro, keep it up.
yea I think this is his best track.

New S54 / E46 M3 60-130 record, 4.22 seconds - Djborya maintains the BMW overall 60-130 performance crownWe are bringing you this information because it is our duty to report any and all BMW performance news. If this is true, which the Vbox file sent was genuine, then the very questionable character Mert has set a new S54 record with a 4.22 60-130. However, as just mentioned, this is a person of questionable character. There is no video, no photos, and there are no real details. What turbos? What size shot of nitrous? What was done to the motor? These are all questions we would like answers to but the owner is not contributing any information to the community. He seems more intent on using the community to prop up his own ego. This new record run being all the more perplexing considering Mert has stated he is getting a new engine block so who knows if this file is actually from his car. For now, and thankfully, djoborya maintains the overall BMW 60-130 crown at 4.2 done on a drag strip with a blazing fast 9.28@153 in the 1/4 mile. Come to your own conclusion.

It's good men don't give birth — they couldn't handle it
Published 12:21 pm, Sunday, April 3, 2011
Did you know that the United States Census Bureau updates daily the estimate of the world's population? I didn't know that until this past week when I learned that planet Earth now has more that 6.9 billion residents.
Man, that's a lot of people. Imagine if they all decided to show up at once for an event. Not even Jerry Jones' stadium is big enough to hold that. Well, maybe he thinks it is.
I was always bad in math, so it's really hard for me to think in numbers like that. It's downright mind-boggling. I do know that number is pretty accurate because I think most of them were in the check-out line at the grocery store last week.
The Census Bureau predicts the world's population will be between 7.5 billion and 10.5 billion in the year 2050. Of course, that's if we make it through 2012, when the world is supposed to come to an end. The Mayans' long-count calendar comes to an end in December 2012. That's supposed to mark an apocalyptic event — maybe even the end of life as we know it. By the way, that's next year.
However, I still don't understand how the planet became so populated in the first place. That's one mystery of life that truly mystifies me. Now, stay with me here. This might take a little explaining.
You see, I know a little bit about child birth. I'm a husband, a dad of two girls and I currently have four grandkids. I've been to the hospital a time or two in my life for the sole purpose of seeing a baby come into this world — as long as it didn't interfere with Friday night football. You might say I've been a regular contributor to that world population figure.
But after going through all that six times, I still don't understand how the world population has grown to such staggering numbers. In fact, if I am remembering correctly, there was a lot of screaming and pain to go with these childbirth memories.
With our first child, my wife was making me swear that I would never again put her through this agony. An hour later, she had her arms wrapped around our first daughter. I've often wondered whatever possessed her to go through all that again. And then I look back at families in my ancestry, and it wasn't uncommon to find anywhere from eight to 15 people in a single family. In the old days, it seems women were barefoot and pregnant quite often.
The wife told me she never thought about having another kid until the first one was about ready to go to school, and she said her arms began to feel empty. I thought she should just read a book. We had another kid.
My girls each have two kids — two girls in one family and two boys in the other, giving me the perfect gender split. It seems my daughters also had the "empty-arm" syndrome, but so far there is no indication that it still exists in our extended family.
Can you imagine what this world would be like if God had let men have the babies? Well, there surely would be nowhere near 6.9 billion people on this earth.
I had a kidney stone once, and I'll never forget what the doctor told me: "That's as close as a man will ever come to having a baby." Well, I don't ever want to have another kidney stone, and I'm pretty sure having a baby wouldn't be high on my priority list, either.
If you let a man have a baby, I can guarantee you families never would have more than one child. After having one contraction, adoption soon would be in the works. And even if the man actually survived child birth, there is no way he lovingly would wrap his arms around the baby when all was said and done. Men hold grudges and would blame the baby for the birth ordeal for the rest of human history.
So, don't believe all that malarkey you keep reading about the woman being the "weaker vessel." It's just not true. Face the facts: Mankind probably couldn't exist if it were up to the men to go through childbirth. We couldn't take it.
But it's OK if you want to blame women for the overpopulation of the Earth. They do deserve that distinction.

More auto industry layoffs following government changes
The Rudd Government's planned changes to fringe benefits tax and salary sacrificing on cars has already impacted on production plans for locally made vehicles, a meeting of the motor industry in Melbourne has heard.
It comes as another car fleet management firm said it would lay off staff as a result of the government's changes.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott called the meeting of motoring bodies, held on Monday at offices at Treasury Place, to discuss the government's change to tax concessions on cars.
The change will bring in $1.8 billion to help the government pay for dropping the carbon tax in favour of an emissions trading scheme one year earlier than planned.
Mr Abbott has pledged to reverse the tax change if he wins office.
The Coalition met with about 30 representatives of the motor industry and were told that the proposal from Prime Minister Kevin Rudd had already impacted on sales of Ford's Territory, and would likely affect production plans for Toyota's locally-built Camry and Aurion models.
Manufacturers were asked by treasury spokesman Joe Hockey, who was also at the meeting, if they had seen any impact to date.
Ford's representative told the meeting that sales of its Territory had already been hurt. A Toyota representative is also understood to have said production of its two main local models were set to be reduced.
Mr Hockey described the tax changes to the gathered group as "bullshit", one person there said.
CPA Australia's policy director Paul Drum was also at the meeting, which was also hosted by the Opposition's Andrew Robb and Sophie Mirabella. Mr Drum said the tax change was "a grab for revenue, introduced without consultation."
Also on Monday, the founder of fleet management company Fleetcare, Nigel Malcolm, said demand for salary-packaged vehicles had evaporated following the government's announcement last week.
He said 20 staff – a quarter of the company's workforce – would lose their jobs this week as a result of the changes. Melbourne car lease company NLC last week announced it would axe 74 of its 147 employees as a result of the change.
Under the tax changes announced last week, people who receive a company car as part of a salary package will need to use log books to document the vehicles' use for both personal and business purposes. Their employers will then have to pay fringe benefits tax on the portion of vehicle costs relating to private use.

THERE is a shortage of X-ray films in Lautoka Hospital but the Health Ministry says it is working on this problem.
Health Minister Dr Neil Sharma visited Western Division hospitals yesterday and took into account all the new developments that will take place and issues that needed addressing.
"There was a shortage of X-ray films and we are working to rectify this," he said.
Dr Sharma said the public had to understand that the demand for x-ray films were high.
"We have to understand that X-ray films are not manufactured in the country and we have to wait for the shipment to come from developed overseas countries. Sometimes this takes time."
He also said the ministry's main priority was ensuring all hospitals were equipped with resources and medical equipment that would help staff serve the public.
"The opening of the new $100,000 Australian Government-funded telemedicine centre in Nadi will be vital to our needs.
"This will help us when performing complicated MRI or CAT scans.
"The opening of the new counselling centre at Lautoka Hospital will also greatly benefit our public."

Humor from the Inbox
A father watched his young daughter playing in the garden. He smiled as he reflected on how sweet and pure his little girl was. Tears formed in his eyes as he thought about her seeing the wonders.
Suddenly she just stopped and stared at the ground. He went over to her to see what work of God had captured her attention. He noticed she was looking at two spiders mating.
'Daddy, what are those two spiders doing?' she asked.
'They're mating,' her father replied.
'What do you call the spider on top?' she asked.
'That's a Daddy Longlegs,' her father answered.
'So, the other one is a Mommy Long legs?' the little girl asked.
As his heart soared with the joy of such a cute and innocent question he replied 'No dear. Both of them are Daddy Longlegs.'
The little girl, looking a little puzzled, thought for a moment, then took her foot and stomped them flat, and said, "Well, we're not having any of that Brokeback Mountain sh** in our garden."

Enough With Feminism!
New rules, feminists. I don't care how cold your feet are, you are not allowed to put them on
Can We?
Yeah. We can.
Ok, I'm not sure about that last one on the list, but he definitely said all of the others.

Obama said, "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say Ok..."
Since when did we care what someone from another country thought about the temperature in our homes? I can't remember the last time I wondered if a guy from Senegal was 'ok' with my preference for the thermostat. For the record, it should be known that we only keep our house at 72 degrees in the winter. In the summer, it's more like 69 degrees.
72 degrees at all times. Sheesh. Obama is such a LIAR.
UPDATE: Laura Ingraham is laying into him for this comment now. If I could figure out how to post an mp3, I would. But I can't, so I won't. She's pretty funny though. Tune in if you have the chance.

Quick Takes
-Pope re-instates gay marriage ban after California vote. Hah! Take THAT, California courts. If judges can create laws, then so can he!
-Obama calls Hamas 'hummus'. "We need to sit down with hummus and start a dialogue. It's the only way to peace." I wonder if he knows the difference between the two.
- Soldier refuses to serve in Iraq because he feels it's an illegal war. Government grants him 15 years of leisure in Leavenworth to reconsider his decision.
- From the 'Are You #$%& Kidding Me?' files - Dutch police arrest person for drawing a cartoon! WTH? The Dutch aren't even French. So why are they surrendering their freedoms like frenchmen?
- Lastly, catching up on my reading (well, more accurately, 'blowing it off'), I may have set a new browser record:
Can anyone beat that? I hope those 125 posts aren't important, because I'm kind of tired.

Vote Democrat for Prez(I'm not kidding)
One of my favorite pundits tells conservative politicians to "Cut ties with McCain and the RNC and run as conservatives"
AMEN! Levin is right. Cut the cord! The RNC sucks almost as much as the DNC these days. Cut the cord! Cutting the cord is how such a cool conservative as Bobby Jindal got elected as our governor. Cut the friggin' cord!
Cut the ties to the RNC and RETURN TO CONSERVATISM!
I hope I'm not alone in hoping that McCain never becomes president. I'll vote against him if I have to - Even if it means a vote for the disingenuous man known as 'Obama'. Even if it means voting Democrat for the first time in my life. We simply cannot allow a liberal such as McCain to claim to be a conservative and destroy what we stand for. His willingness to worship at the altar of global warming makes it abundantly clear that he has a liberal bent (or an intelligence problem), but it's only one of many liberal stances he has. He's also a big fan of allowing foreigners free-reign to invade our country. There's very little that's conservative about him. He DOES seem to be anti-tax, but that's really small potatoes when you consider his liberal ideals mentioned above.
Conservatives, listen. We've already lost the election. There are no conservatives left in the race. There's nothing we can do. Vote for true conservatives in the House and Senate if you can. But keep in mind, that's the only option left for you. Voting for McCain will only legitimize the idea that Republicans are actually closet liberals. NTY.
Please please please don't make me leave the Republican party. Vote against McCain. He's no conservative. Don't vote for him like he is. Let the crazy hippie Obama get the job. It's the only way we can show him up. But more importantly, it's the only way we can revive conservatism. Think about the fallout from the Carter years or Clinton in 1994 before you doubt me. Remember how much both of those situations unexpectedly benefited conservatives dramatically? The first got us Reagan, and the second got us the first Republican House majority in 40-50 years.
Electing McCain will have the opposite effect. It will connect us forever with falling for the global warming scam, and it will connect us forever with allowing anyone from any nation to cross our borders at will. The actual results will probably be the same no matter who we vote for, but wouldn't you agree that it would be better to let the Democrats be the ones who look stupid for buying into global warming and look weak for being unable to clamp down on our borders?
In fairness, I have to admit that I've never really been a Republican, although I'm registered that way. I'm a conservative, and that's all. It just happened that for all of my life, Republicans were conservative. It's becoming clear that this is no longer a true statement.
A vote against McCain is a vote for conservatism.

Did You See Capricorn One?
I only bring this up because of the new UAV's that we use to smash the jihadis. Has anyone ever actually seen them in flight? Because I'll be honest: I think I can see some wires! Are we getting faked out?
UPDATE: No, we're not getting faked out. But I'm sick of the global warming scam and the 9/11 truther scam. I'm just trying to start a new one to give the crazy people something else to worry about, so they'll get over the other silly ones.

Political Commentary
As we continue to close in upon Election Day, it's every person's duty to weigh in on the issues and back their candida... screw it. I dislike them all. There is no one running for prez that will do anything I approve of. Instead let's have:
GENDER WARS! - Why it's better to be a man
The main reason: Wallets. Women don't have them! Instead, they have purses. And as a guy who has tried to pilfer money from his wife at least a dozen times, let me be the first to tell you that purses NEVER have money in them. Just checks, some pennies, and credit cards. Wallets, however, always have a couple of bucks in them. When choosing your gender, choose 'man'. That way, you'll always have a dollar or two in your wallet. It's a simple choice when you think about it. Do you really want to write a check for a coke and a bag of chips at the convenience store?

Does anyone read the website, Pajamas Media? If so, quit it. Once hyped as a great alternative to the MSM, they have now become useless. They're now worse than the media they sought to depose. Roger Simon, a man who I once approved of so much that I was willing to include his middle initial (L.) DESPITE my disgust for people who can't exist with merely two names, has let us down. He's become a shill! No, they'll get no more support from me.
Why have I lost interest in supporting PJM? Because they cut off The Gates of Vienna. It's that simple. What kind of idiotic move is that?! Yet they still allow AoS. I'm not complaining about that: I love AoS and read Ace almost daily. I'm just denoting the hypocrisy. Ace is rude as hell, and that's fine and fun, but when GoV personnel merely mention truth, The cops at Pajamas Media throttle them?!?
Enough. Roger Simon can kiss my ass. And stick that L where the sun doesn't shine. Well, the top half, anyway.

Movie Reviews - Enchanted - Iron Man
Iron Man - Best. Movie. Ever.
Ok, maybe that was overstating it a bit, but it's good. Pay the money to see it in bigscreen. You won't suffer buyer's remorse. The Existing Thing agrees. I'll go one step further: We have to drive 90 minutes to get to the nearest movie theater because we are so far in the country that it takes 10 minutes just to get to the boondocks. It was worth the 180 minute round-trip drive!
Enchanted - Second. Best. Movie. Ever.
Again, this is possibly overstating things a bit. The first ten minutes of the show are painful for an adult to watch (kids love it, however), but the rest of it is as enjoyable as a G rated movie can be. Yes, there's a wee bit of animation, and yes, there are three songs, but despite that, it's still fun!
Here's one of the songs to give you an example.
Of course, I may be overstating the quality of this show because I'm - uh - let's say 'Enchanted' by Amy Adams. Sorry, but it can't be helped. She's simply the womaniest woman in all of womanhood. She's just so womany! How can a guy resist a woman who is such a womanly shining example of woman-ness? IT'S NOT MY FAULT! I blame Amy Adams. IMO, she should cut it out with all that woman stuff. It's getting me in trouble.
I hope this isn't a spoiler, but in the Disney movie, "Enchanted", they all live happily ever after. What an unexpected twist!
This blog is on the 'no tag' list.

Preventing Munich attack was 'mission impossible'
READ MORE: 18yo German-Iranian goes on shooting rampage in Munich: Facts known so far
RT: We've had a lot of these lone-wolf attacks recently. Is it even possible to prevent attacks like these - like the one we saw in Munich - given a perpetrator had no previous criminal record and no reason to suspect them?
James Conway: No, it's a mission impossible. That's the quick answer. The reason being as this was a typical soft target. It's an open, non-secure McDonald's where people are free to come and go. Look, there is a category of hard targets which are military bases, government buildings, banks. Things like that are hard targets. But we are surrounded by literally thousands and thousands of soft targets. Those are restaurants, malls, parks, shopping esplanades and so forth.
There are just thousands of these surrounding us in all of our countries. And police and security services cannot harden all those targets. If they did we'd live in a world that was a police state and a world of constant surveillance. You just can't protect all these targets.
RT: Many people on social media now say that the German authorities should have prevented this attack in light of the recent ax attack on a train in southern Germany. Do you think this is fair?
JC: Look, you can't blame the police for this. The police cannot be everywhere for everybody at all times. It's impossible. This is a bigger issue. This is a diplomatic issue…It's an issue involving border security. It's an issue involving refugees. It's an issue involving lots of things. You cannot protect all soft targets in a country the size of Germany, or France or the United States, Russia – anywhere. It's virtually impossible.
The important thing that the police and the intelligence services have to do and we all must do - but we're drinking from the fire hose today - is through intelligence identify those individuals, those cells that could represent a threat to us and try to neutralize those threats before they are able to come into play. But this guy was really an anomaly.
Initially, when I looked at this, everybody initially thought this was going to be [Islamic State or IS] ISIS-related. ISIS has been losing a lot of territory; a lot of their attacks lately have been in retribution for losing territory, against soft targets in Europe. But this young fellow, now…preliminary reports said he is an 18-year-old Iranian-German. Iranians are Shia [Muslim]. Shia and ISIS are at war in the Syrian-Iraq theater. So this doesn't even fit anything, goes outside the model of any kind of ISIS attack. This guy was Iranian. He was most likely Shia, not Sunni. So this whole thing is kind of strange.
#Munich shooter urged victims to come to mall via bogus Facebook account - police https://t.co/BNnRk5x8r3— RT (@RT_com) July 23, 2016
There are some reports that he was yelling 'Allahu Akbar' but I don't know if this is going come to the surface. And the police and the Germans and their colleagues will drill down and get into his cellphone and get into his chatrooms, look at his social media and try to find out the motive behind this. We don't know yet and we won't know probably for another 24 or 48 hours. But getting back to your point, it is virtually impossible to blame the police. The police are a very small percentage of the population of Germany and they cannot control all soft targets. It's just impossible.
RT: Do you think we're going to see tougher security measures like mass surveillance now introduced after the string of these terrorist attacks in Europe?
JC: Look, I don't think we're going to see mass surveillance. Look, the French have increased security significantly. In the wake of these kinds of thigs we've seen laws changed in France. We've seen an upping of intelligence gathering. We've seen an increase in electronic surveillances and so forth. That's a natural reaction. We may see that in Germany. The bottom line is - we may begin to see what were previously soft targets now become harder targets. You know, in many parts of the West - hotels, for example - were always soft targets. They were public places. People could always come in and out of hotels. [In] many places in the world where I travel and, particularly, if you are in the Middle East – [in] most hotels nowadays you must go through a magnetometer, you must go through a security check.
So we've seen an evolution of previously soft targets now becoming hard targets. We may see that in Germany, we may see that over the holidays in the malls, for example. There may be security checks in malls and so forth. There may be more security checks at railroad stations. We may see an increase in security checks just because the threat level is as high as it's ever been in the last 25-30 years.
RT: The fingerprint of this attacker is just so bizarre and so unusual. We're looking at a main suspect who is 18 years old, a German citizen though, but of Iranian origin and appeared to have been living in Germany for a long time, but also a possibility of racist, nationalist and anti-migrant slurs. How to make sense of this?
JC: Well, we don't. But I think it's coming out of cyberspace because young people today are just flooded with all of this radical jihad, all of this radical propaganda in chat rooms, in cyber space, in electronic magazines and publications online. And I think that there's actually been some discussions in intelligence circles - and we saw it in Nice - that there are some indications that the perpetrator in Nice, the Tunisian, may have had a history of some mental problems.
So we're beginning to see that maybe people that are on the edge, on the margins and may not be mentally fully stable, maybe being influenced by some of this extreme radical jihadi propaganda that we're seeing in cyberspace. Intelligence folks and theorists, and academicians are beginning to look at some of those theories. And we don't know yet…

China sets trial date for detained NYT researcher
BEIJING (Reuters) - China has set a preliminary trial date
for a New York Times researcher accused of leaking state
secrets, who has been held since September 2004 without
appearing before a judge, his lawyer said on Saturday.
Researcher Zhao Yan's case was dropped in March, raising
hopes at the time of his imminent release, but in mid-May
authorities revived it again.
Shaoping, told Reuters by telephone, but added that this was
just a preliminary date and could still be changed.
Zhao faces a 10-year jail term after the state security
apparatus accused him of telling the New York Times details of
rivalry between President Hu Jintao and his predecessor, Jiang
China dropped the charge along with a lesser fraud charge
in a move seen as a surprise concession just before Hu's visit
to Washington in April.
However Zhao remained in custody and earlier in May
prosecutors told Mo they had re-transferred the case to the
Beijing Second Intermediate Court. Mo said at the time the move
had no legal basis under Chinese criminal procedure.
Hu presented a softer line on human rights during the U.S.
trip, but just weeks after his return China has put on trial,
or is set to try, a string of journalists and Internet writers.
China broadly defines as a state secret anything that
affects the security and interests of the state and it is
suspicious of any independent organization dealing with
sensitive issues.
Rights groups say the laws are arbitrary enough to be
manipulated for political purposes.

NEW YORK (Aug. 28)
The John Birch Society's national director of public relations, former Rep. John Rousselot, has confirmed officially that Dr. Revilo P. Oliver, University of Illinois professor, who has delivered anti-Semitic speeches at right-wing rallies, has resigned from the national council of the Birch group, according to The New York Times. Until now, the John Birch Society's headquarters at Belmont, Mass., had refused to comment on the reports about Prof. Oliver's resignation. Now, however, Mr. Rousselot conceded that not only Dr. Oliver but also another member of the Birch Society's national council, Slobadan M. Draskovich, had quit.
The Times also revealed today, through a report from Gordon D. Hall, a Boston authority on extremism, that Dr. Oliver had been given a "roaring, standing" ovation at the conclusion of an anti-Semitic speech in Boston, last July, before a rally labeled "For God, Family and Country."

The name and image of Marilyn Monroe as the original blonde bombshell is alive and kicking even nearly 50 years after her death. Soon after the rights to her name changed hands for a multimillion dollar deal the Southport artist Clare White has created a dazzling mirrored aluminum recreation of the original blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe, which will help benefit The Marina Dalglish Appeal. It is a stunning creation in Swarovski crystal.
This art work is the first in a series of fifty by the artist. This particular piece has been donated to the Marina Dalglish Appeal , and will be auctioned off at the upcoming Knowsley Hall ball. The artist is very happy for the fact that she has been able to give original blonde a modern twist. The future reproductions of the "Marilyn On Mirror" will sell for £3,000($4,750).
Clare Wright has several celebrity clients including boxer Amir Khan and Apprentice star Karen Brady. She is very excited about how the 'Marilyn on Mirror' has shaped. The recreations to follow will also have her trademark water and splash effect. Each recreation will be embellished by £500 worth of Swarovski crystals and will be no less than the original creation.

It will be one of a number of biopics of prominent women to be aired on the channel this autumn, including Jane Horrocks playing Gracie Fields, the Second World War forces' sweetheart, and Academy Award nominee Sophie Okonedo taking on the role of Winnie Mandela.
Also in the channel's autumn plans, released on Thursday, is an examination of Britain's experimental synthesizer and metal bands.
Richard Klein, controller of BBC4, said: "BBC4 is curious about arts and culture's contribution to, and place in, society.
"We're exploring this through a unique range of programmes ranging from high quality dramas with big name stars through to authored documentaries on modern art and live performances of classical music."
The Blyton film will examine how the author of the Famous Five and Secret Seven series lived a life that was sometimes at odds with the moral code she sought to project in her children's novels.
Blyton, whose books have sold more than 500 million copies in 40 countries, created a wholesome world where children uncovered mysteries, but almost always told the truth and were nice to one another.
However, in real life Blyton occasionally failed to live by her own rules – pursuing an affair with a married man, whom she later married, airbrushing her first husband from her life, and lavishing affection on one daughter while starving the other of love.
Blyton married Hugh Pollock and the couple had two daughters, Gillian and Imogen. But the marriage faltered, and she pursued an affair with a Kenneth Walters, a married surgeon, whom she later wed.
She cut her first husband out of her life, going back on a verbal agreement to allow him access to their daughters.
Gillian, who died two years ago, described Blyton as "a fair and loving mother" in an interview in 2002, while Imogen, four years her junior, thought she was "arrogant, insecure, pretentious... and without a trace of maternal instinct".

I received this email from a reader recently and thought I would share, since it's really enlightening and another inside look at Master's Commission.
Hi Lisa,
Hope this reaches you. I know you are extremely busy gal. I've stumbled across this blog page in the process of searching for material to read an hopefully find an understanding of what I went through. I'm from a small town, everyone know everyone. I was going to a bible believe truth based AG church. (invited by a friend). I remember the Masters commission group visiting on a wednesday youth night. Full of energy, out-going, free spirited indivuals. They consumed my friend and I's attentioned. After they left all I kept thinking is that is awesome. I am going there in the next 6 months. I quit my job. I moved out of my parents house after we argued about MC. (my parents believing it was a cult)… well me not so much. moved in with my friend and began to visit, this MC program. This was in 2008 when we joined. Had no clue what we were getting ourselves into. It was good and horrible all the same time. We weren't allowed to talk to our families except a certain period of time. They montored our conversation by us sitting in their living room with them and the directors heard everything we/d say. then they would take our phones and tell us to go finish our school work, eat, shower and go to bed by a certain time. The church people loved us. We put up a great front every day…. no one knowing what the student actually went through. I was asked to leave my 3rd year in 2011 because I had begun to migranes and seizures for the very first time in my life. Had to be hospitalized several times while in the program. My mom finally received the news. when the nurses would ask for emergency contact info the wife of the director/pastor would put her info instead of my parents. They had my cell phone while i was in the hospital. I finally got a nurse to help show me how to use the phone an called my mom. long story short my mom wanted to hurt this lady director. It has been hard. I had to regain the trust of my parents. I just turned 25 and really have no true college credits…I am so far behind. I love the Lord. was raised methodist and want to get back where I should be. I just don't know where to start… some of the other MCers didn't have the same experience as I did so they are mad at me for speaking out and calling it a cult.
One day I'd love to talk to you exchange stories and progress. I think it will help. thank you for stepping out and starting this blog. I can relate so much.

Papahanaumokuakea: Hawaii's new UNESCO site a marine wonderland
Published 4:00 am, Friday, August 6, 2010
What if they created a national monument that nobody visited? Or designated a World Heritage Site that most of the world will never see?
In the case of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, which recently became the first UNESCO World Heritage Site to be designated in the United States in the last 15 years, that would suit the vast majority of the inhabitants: thousands of threatened and endangered sea birds, monk seals, sharks, reef fish, delicate corals and endemic plants. Encompassing the islands and atolls of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands — stretching some 1,200 miles northwest of Kaua'i — and the surrounding ocean, the monument also includes important Native Hawaiian archaeological sites. Created by President George W. Bush at the end of his last term, Papahānaumokuākea (click here for the pronunciation) takes its name from two central figures in Hawaiian cosmology: Papahānaumoku (an earth mother, or "Papa who gives birth to the islands") and Wākea (the sky father.)
The United Nations agency recognized the area for both its natural and cultural significance, the first such "mixed" site honored in the United States, and one of only 26 worldwide. It's the largest conservation area in the United States, at 140,000 square miles, and it's the second World Heritage Site for Hawai'i; Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park received its designation for its natural wonders in 1987.

But while Volcanoes on the Big Island is one of the most popular attractions in the state, by federal mandate only a maximum of 50 visitors a day are allowed to overnight on Midway Atoll, the only place possible to do so in Papahānaumokuākea. The former military base is also closed to visitors August through October, for environmental and logistical reasons.
When Midway is open, a handful of organized tour groups, including San Francisco-based Oceanic Society, offer overnight trips, most with a wildlife focus, while Military Historical Tours leads an annual day trip for the commemoration of 1942's epic Battle of Midway. Yet the high cost of chartered air service may deter many interested travelers: Weeklong excursions can cost $5,000 to $6,000, depending on the provider, while participating in the one-day military tour cost nearly $1,200 this year.
Still, there are other ways to experience the wonders of the region without causing undue harm to its fragile ecosystem or your finances:
1. The Mokupāpapa Discovery Center may be on the Hawaiian Island farthest from the northwestern archipelago, but it brings visitors the closest in understanding the environmental and human treasures of Papahānaumokuākea. Opened in downtown Hilo in 2003, the center's permanent exhibits include a 2,500-gallon saltwater aquarium hosting some of the remote region's fish; a giant coral reef mural with life-size pop-out figures such as sharks, manta rays and tuna; a pile of marine debris — one of the biggest threats to coral, turtles and other sea life; and a room filled with the sounds and shadows of sea birds, which breed in vast numbers on the islets. One of the newer exhibitions, "Lost on a Reef," displays items retrieved from the many shipwrecks on Kure Atoll — the westernmost point in the chain — over the years. Admission to the center, open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, is free.
2. Through Oct. 15, 2010, you can see a renowned underwater photographer's images from the new World Heritage Site at the Contemporary Museum at First Hawaiian Center in downtown Honolulu. "Papahānaumokuākea: Recent Photographs by Wayne Levin" includes 40 of his black and white and color pictures, shot above and below the water, during a monthly expedition with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; a coffee table book of the striking photos is slated for 2011. Admission to the museum, open 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Thursday and till 6 p.m. Friday, is free.
3. Wait until next year, and the Waikiki Aquarium should have opened its new Northwestern Hawaiian Islands exhibit. The aquarium is currently growing coral from fragments collected in 2009 off the archipelago's French Frigate Shoals and Maro Reef. The exhibit will include species of coral not normally found in the main Hawaiian islands, such as the massive table coral Acropora cytherea, as well as unusual reef fish in a 5,100-gallon reef display. Nonresident admission is $9 for adults, $4 ages 13 to 17 and $2 for ages 5 to 12 (younger free.)
4. If you've got the time to volunteer — a 12-week commitment is requested — the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service accepts two to three volunteers at a time for habitat restoration and marine debris removal. Round-trip airfare to Midway from Honolulu is provided, along with room and board while on the atoll. Click here for details.
5. You can also learn more about the creatures and cultural legacy of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands through images and text. San Francisco photographers David Liittschwager and Susan Middleton's "Archipelago: Portraits of Life in the World's Most Remote Island Sanctuary" (National Geographic, 2005) contains more than 300 intriguing images, with a compelling argument for increased conservation. In early 2010, the Papahānaumokuākea Website added educational videos; a special photo gallery also highlights the features that earned it the World Heritage Site designation on July 30.
And don't forget the online photo gallery with this column, culled from the marine preserve and the NOAA's extensive collection. While it would do tremendous damage to the largely uninhabited isles if everyone who wanted to could visit, the scientists, researchers and ocean photographers lucky enough to spend time there have captured an array of spectacular images that can make you feel as if you've been there, too.

Thank you, Readerkidz and Stephanie Greene, for sharing your review of BE LIGHT LIKE A BIRD and author interview:
In "Be Light Like a Bird" by Monika Schröder, 12-year-old Wren is faced not only with the loss of her father, but with a mother who is so wrapped up in her own anger and grief that she leaves her daughter to cope with the terrible burden largely on her own. As her mother erratically moves them from one town to another, picking up jobs and boyfriends at every stop, and dropping them again when they move on, Wren is forced to bring order to their chaotic life. Like so many children who are having to face scary and uncertain situations, both in this country and around the world, Wren grows up quickly. New schools, mean-spirited girls, a fragile home life – Wren copes with the hand she's been dealt with courage and determination. Her friendship with Theo, a boy in her class who has suffered his own loss, comes as a respite to them both. Together, they fight to preserve a local pond teeming with birds and wildlife, and in the process, forge strong and lasting bonds for themselves and within the town Wren will finally call home. It's a journey without frills but with tremendous heart. Young readers who may have felt a tremor in their own lives will take solace in getting to know a girl who manages to fight for what she needs in spite of all odds.
We talked to the author about how she wrote such a powerful story and what influences in her own life may have affected the telling of Wren's story.
ReaderKidZ: I love middle grade novels. I've noticed a trend in recent years of portraying a young girl (usually) who's facing a family crisis with pluck and grit and a happy ending. While I believe in positive endings for children, these books often strike me as unrealistic and ultimately not helpful to young readers who may be facing similar circumstances. Your book doesn't do that. Wren's father has died, her situation is dire, and out of her own grief her mother is acting irresponsibly – the way too many parents do. While Wren makes the best of things, she comes across as real. I found myself believing in her. How did you do this? Was it an unconscious act or did you set out to write it that way?
MS: I am glad that Wren seems like an authentic character to you. I was hoping to create a girl with a deep emotional problem who discovers strength within herself over the course of the story. From early on I knew that Wren's conflict with Carrie and Victoria had to end with her staying true to her own beliefs. Then I wanted to develop her friendship with Theo in a way that first surprised her and then gave her the strength to get through the crisis with her mother. I also felt that her desperation in regards to her mother's behavior made her a realistic character since kids cannot always figure out what makes adults behave in a certain way.
ReaderKidZ: The minute I read a review of your book in which I learned that Wren goes around burying road kill after the death of her father, I was hooked. (I guess that's why such plot twists are called "hooks.") It works because her father's body is never found so Wren can't have the comfort of a decent burial, but how did you come up with this idea? Which came first – his death over the sea, or Wren's fascination with road kill?
MS: The father's death in the airplane came to me first. Then I tried to put myself in Wren's position and felt that her desperation about the loss of her father and her mother's distant behavior needed an equally desperate outlet. The idea with the roadkill came to me on my morning run in my North Carolina neighborhood where on any given day one may find small animals dead on the road. I often wonder what it says about people's relationship to animals that so many of them are killed in this way and then left dead and unattended on the asphalt.
ReaderKidZ: Theo's a great friend. His mother died, so he understands something about how Wren feels, but he responded very differently to his mother's death. Both of their remaining parents respond differently to the loss of their spouse, too. You cover the topic from both angles. On what did you base your knowledge of how children might react to the death of a parent and adults to the loss of a spouse?
MS: I did not have a similar experience with the death of a parent or spouse. But I have been close to people whose loved ones died. When I was in school the father of my best friend died. My husband lost his mother and his brother within a month of one another. While writing the book I tried to put myself in the situation of a 12-year old girl whose father died, trying to feel the pain and how she might react.
ReaderKidZ: I love the way Wren grills her mother about where she was and who she's dating. It's the way many girls would act in her situation and it left me feeling as neglected as Wren felt. Same with her mother's disclosure at the end that Wren's father was not all he seemed. Yet, I didn't finish the last page feeling depressed. I felt as if what I'd read was the way life happens and that facing up to it made Wren heroic without your even telling us she was. How much did Wren change in your mind over the course of writing the story? Did you set out to create a strong protagonist, or did she grow from the events she faced?
MS: In early drafts of the book the focus was on Wren's trouble being the new girl in school and her fight to save the bird sanctuary. Over many revisions I felt that I hadn't reached the core of who she was and what was hurting her. And then I suddenly knew, her father had died and her mother had dragged her to northern Michigan. From there I rebuilt the emotional arc of the novel, focusing on the grieving and her relationship to her mother
ReaderKidZ: I love the way Wren named the crow Joseph and has such a strong connection to nature and her father through birds. Also, the way Theo shares her awareness of the destruction of the natural world because of a development. Snooty Carrie called them "two crazy peas in a pod." What was your model for this friendship?
MS: While teaching grade four for many years I have occasionally observed friendships between girls and boys. It was rare and, just as in the book, they often had to go through some mocking or bullying, but I did see those friendships and they helped me to imagine the relationship between Wren and Theo.

Murdoch's digital paper The Daily cuts staff
Just 18 months after it was launched, News Corp's digital newspaper The Daily is sacking 29 per cent of its staff and overhauling its format.
The Daily was Rupert Murdoch's attempt to reinvent daily news for the tablet age.
It was initially designed to work on Apple's iPad tablet but now also appears on rival devices using the Android operating system.
The Daily reportedly has around 100,000 paying subscribers, but the firm keeps the exact number close to its chest.
Launching the paper, Mr Murdoch said it would need to recruit around 500,000 readers a week to break even.
The revamp, including changes to the online paper's sports and opinion sections, comes at a time when the daily news business in general and News Corps' international stable of newspapers in particular have been in turmoil.
Mr Murdoch is reorganising his empire following a telephone hacking scandal in Britain that saw his Sunday tabloid the News of the World closed down and several former executives arrested.
The Australian-born mogul plans to split the successful entertainment side of his group from the publishing arm.
Mr Murdoch has resigned from the boards of his remaining British print titles but stayed on as News Corp's chairman.

Focus on wellness like it's your job.
Healthy perks at companies are commonplace today, from discounts at gyms to team workouts to lounges stocked with nutritious snacks. And now, the idea is entering the co-working space.
At Primary, a new co-working office at 26 Broadway in the Financial District, members can take fitness classes at an in-house studio, choose from health-conscious snacks at its cafe and find water bottle-filling stations throughout the plant-filled space.
"We wanted to bring a lot of wellness amenities right in arm's reach," said Danny Orenstein, a former WeWork employee who founded the company with Lisa Skye Hain (another WeWork alum) and her husband, Brian Hain, a health and wellness expert. "People are realizing the shared office space isn't one size fits all. We're trying to provide something that feels really refined and fits in the wellness model."
Members of Primary have access to more than 30 weekly fitness classes, from yoga to guided meditation to functional fitness, in the studio, which is stocked with medicine balls, yoga mats and blocks.
The company has a partnership with trendy meditation studio MNDFL, is in talks with spin studios and Equinox for additional classes and plans to organize off-site weekend runs and bike rides, too. To further promote exercise, there are private showers and, for those who commute on two wheels, bike storage will be available next month.
At the cafe, members can get discounts on healthy snacks, such as juices from Lulitonix and Pure Green, and bowls from seasonal, veggie-focused chain Dig Inn will be on the menu starting in mid-July.
As far as the actual office environment goes, there is a communal space and 66 offices which can accommodate 324 people total, as well as several conference rooms. Monthly rates range from $150 to $7,500 — anywhere for once a day in the communal space to an office of 10 — and include unlimited printing, conference room hours, WiFi, free drip coffee and the fitness classes.
Since opening in early May, Primary is 40% filled so far, and there are plans to open a second location, potentially in the Flatiron District, too.
Members so far include several practitioners, including a massage therapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist and health coach — who have hundreds of potential clients right in the office — as well as the shoe brand Jibs and the travel website Fathom.
Apploi, a hiring platform that connects hourly workers with employers, first heard about the space when Primary posted an ad for a barista on its site. It relocated its team of 10 from a midtown office to Primary in mid-May.
"It's a place where it's easy to work hard and get your job done, but also take care of yourself at the same time. ... There's really no excuse not to work out if it's right here in the office," said Tomer Benami, vice president of finance at Apploi. "Team members being able to do a meditation session together is good for the team, too."
In addition to boosting morale, wellness perks can also help in retention and productivity, noted Orenstein.
"The best businesses all have wellness practices built into their operation, and there's a reason for that," he said.

Thank You for All the Music
I'm A great fan of Gloucestershire composer Ralph Vaughan Williams' music and I am enjoying the celebrations of his music at the Proms at present, in tribute to the 50th anniversary of his death.
There is something special about English composers which sends a tingle down the spine. They are full of passion and a quintessential tone which sound English through and through.I was born in Shrewsbury and I have to say On Wenlock Edge holds a great interest and love for me of all of RV William's pieces.
Thanks for the memory Sir.

KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) — Officials in Kokomo are condemning racist graffiti that was found spray-painted on yard signs for Democratic Party candidates.
The Kokomo Tribune reports graffiti included the letters "KKK," an abbreviation for the Ku Klux Klan, and was discovered on Monday.
David Mendez says he "couldn't believe what it said" when he saw the graffiti on signs in his neighbor's yard. He called neighbor Monica Fowler, who was at work, and she believes it's a hate crime. She says it's "a scare tactic, and I don't want anybody to be scared."
The signs were replaced by the Howard County Democratic Party. A truck also was also spray-painted with "KKK" on its doors.
Kokomo police says at least seven properties were targeted. They've been in touch with the FBI and are investigating.

Taylor Signs for Burnley!
I was somewhat surprised when West Ham United agreed to release Matt Taylor.
I thought his versatility had earned him another season at Upton Park.
However, with new signings being brought in perhaps Taylor wasn`t the kind of player that would be prepared to be a squad player and wanted more than the odd game.
Thankfully, it hasn`t taken Taylor long to find a new club and the player will be delighted that it is a Premier League club, with Burnley deciding to take a punt on the old-boy.
Here at Vital West Ham United we wish Matt all the best up at Turf Moor.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — A jury Wednesday awarded a total of $240 million to 32 mentally disabled Iowa turkey-processing-plant workers for what an expert witness described as years of "virtual enslavement" by the Texas company that oversaw their care, work and lodging.
The federal jury in Davenport determined that Henry's Turkey Service of Goldthwaite, Texas, violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by creating a hostile living and working environment and imposing discriminatory conditions of employment on the men, who were each awarded $7.5 million in damages. The jury also found that the now-defunct company acted with "malice or reckless indifference" to the men's civil rights.
That's in addition to $1.3 million in back wages that a judge awarded the men last year. The men had been working at the plant under Henry's oversight since the 1970s but never received a raise from the $65 per month that Henry's paid them after deducting what it said were the costs of room and board.
During the week-long trial that ended Wednesday, officials testified about the squalid conditions they found during a 2009 inspection of the bunkhouse where the men were housed.

7 Ingredients You Should Always Have in Your Freezer (Page 8)
7. Shredded Cheese
Even though I use cheese a lot in cooking, I used to inevitably end up with loose ends of forgotten blocks getting moldy in my fridge. Now I shred what I don't use and freeze it. This works best with solid cheeses like Cheddar or Monterey Jack. When I need just a little bit (to top a salad, for example), it's there. It thaws almost instantly and the texture and flavor remain unchanged.

Huma Qureshi lands a leading eyewear brand ad
Courtesy her 'Gangs Of Wasseypur' look, Huma Qureshi has landed an endorsement deal for aviators
Huma Qureshi has been approached to be the brand ambassador for a leading eyewear brand thanks to her aviator look in her debut film Gangs of Wasseyur.
The newbie who played a small town, yet stylish, character in Anurag Kashyap's film apparently began a trend among young girls to sport the cool glares.
What was essentially a style statement among guys post the Salman Khan starrer Dabangg, had more girls opting for the aviator look after her film's release.
Says a source, "An eyewear brand has approached Huma to be the face of their product."
As reported 'Flying high' (Hitlist, December 28), while visiting malls Huma was often told by shopkeepers that after her film released aviators were being increasingly being picked up by females.
Huma is presently shooting for Nikhil Advani's film as well as promoting her upcoming film with Emraan Hashmi. The actress is likely to sign up for the brand and shoot for its commercial soon.
Adds the source, "She is ecstatic that her style statement in her debut film has fetched her such a big endorsement deal."
