HR: Nurture the love of the workplace
Valentine's Day reminds us of the message of love. However, we generally don't think of love as it applies to business. Yet there is so much to gain when we bring "love" into the workplace. Much like a long-term relationship, we can find that the love is gone one day, when we don't take the steps to ensure it is active. So how do we ensure we have love in the workplace, and don't lose it? 1. Find your bliss. In order to give love we have to be sure we're filled with love ourselves. As Steve Jobs said: "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it." Or as Albert Schweitzer said: "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." Loving your job is not only a benefit to you, but it has an enormous "spill over effect" to your customers, co-workers and family. Think about that person who only goes through the motions in their job, or worse yet, is watching the clock, waiting for 5 p.m. so they can leave. Remember: Communication is 10 percent words and 90 percent emotional energy. If you don't love what you are doing, you aren't fooling anyone. 2. Create a vision statement.

It's Like Yelp For Cops: Teens Make App To Rate Police
Three teens in Georgia just made a mobile app they hope will help prevent the next police shooting of an unarmed young person.
It's called Five-O, after the slang term for police, and it's the brainchild of siblings Ima, 16, Asha, 15, and Caleb Christian, 14, who live in a suburb of Atlanta. Here's how it works: After interacting with a cop, users open the app and fill out a Yelp-like form on which they can grade the officer's courtesy from A to F, check a box if they were verbally or physically abused, and add details about the incident. They can view ratings on other cops and police departments across the country, participate in community forums, and check out a Q&A titled "Know Your Rights."
Ima Christian says their parents encouraged them to think about how they could respond productively to incidents like Brown's death. "One of the things they really stress is that we focus on finding solutions," she told Mother Jones. "We really hope that Five-O will be able to give every citizen a voice when interacting with the police."
But the Christians say Five-O isn't just for outing bad cops; they hope it will help also highlight good policing. "We want people to be able to document if the police are very courteous or if they save your cat or something," Ima says.
"You're never too young to learn, and you're never too young to make a difference," Caleb told Business Insider. A similar app made in London to track "stop and search" incidents earned a human rights award in 2012.
The siblings have been honing their coding skills since elementary school by participating in the MIT programs +K12, Scratch, and App Inventor, and they've also taken programming classes at Georgia Tech and Emory, all with encouragement from their parents. They've started their own app development company, Pine Tart, Inc., and they're currently working on two other projects: Froshly, which will help incoming college freshmen meet their classmates, and Coily, which will review hair-care products for black women.

Briefly super bowl
As if the Ray Lewis narrative weren't muddled enough, now comes this:
Sports Illustrated reported Tuesday — just in time for Super Bowl Media Day — that the Baltimore linebacker has been a client of Sports with Alternatives to Steroids (S.W.A.T.S.). The report stated that Lewis used S.W.A.T.S. products, including deer-antler spray, to help him recover from a torn right triceps suffered in mid-October. Lewis returned for the playoffs Jan. 6.
Deer-antler spray contains a banned substance called IGF-1. Despite S.W.A.T.S. co-owner Mitch Ross insisting that he dealt with Lewis shortly after the injury, Lewis dismissed the report.
"Two years ago, it was the same report," Lewis said, referring to a story that the NFL had ordered former Raiders coach and Ravens assistant Hue Jackson to sever ties with S.W.A.T.S.
"I wouldn't give that report or him (Ross) any of my press. He's not worthy of that. Next question."
Ravens officials told reporters that Lewis never had failed a test for banned substances. The Baltimore Sun quoted a Johns Hopkins doctor who said IGF-1 could not be delivered via a spray, as the SI report detailed.
Most would agree that the best wide receiver of all time is a San Francisco 49er. Just not this 49er.
Veteran Randy Moss, a role player in the twilight of a Hall of Fame career, labeled himself the "greatest receiver to ever do it" during his media session Tuesday.
"I don't really live on numbers. I really live on impact and what you're able to do out on that field," Moss said. "So I really do think I'm the greatest receiver to ever play this game."
Even at 35, and after a year off from football, Moss has had a positive impact for the 49ers, averaging a robust 15.3 yards on 33 receptions (including playoffs). He remains a fan favorite, but not even the most appreciative 49ers supporter would place Moss above first-ballot Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.
Moss can enhance his credentials by winning his first Super Bowl ring Sunday.
"I really didn't expect this," he said. "Now that it's here, I just want to make the best of it and take advantage of it and bring a trophy back to San Francisco."
Baltimore safety Bernard Pollard told CBSSports.com last week he doesn't think football will exist in 30 years because fans will lose interest in a sport that's trying to become less violent. He didn't back down from that contention Tuesday. "I stand by what I said," Pollard said. "For me, growing up, to see where the game has gone from then to now, this is a very special game. … We can't change something that's been built (just) because this is a business."

Georgia is launching an initiative to protect its military bases in the coming years as the Pentagon cuts its budget and possibly closes some bases.
The Governor's Defense Initiative, announced by Governor Nathan Deal last month, will try to strengthen its lobbying of defense policymakers in Washington while also working to recruit private industry to military communities.
The initiative will be led by a Washington consultant who's familiar with both Georgia and the Pentagon. Will Ball worked as chief of staff to former Georgia Senator Herman Talmadge and as Navy Secretary under President Ronald Reagan.
Ball says Georgia's nine military bases are in a "tremendous period of uncertainty." The so-called fiscal cliff could trigger steep military cuts, and a new round of base closings is likely in 2015.

Ratings (out of 5 *)
Price: below £30 pp
Service charge: 12.5%
Taste: ***
Service: ****
Ambience: ****There are only a couple of Japanese restaurants in London that greet you in Japanese when taking a reservation. Mitsukoshi and Edokko are two of them. While Mitsukoshi are often filled with Japanese tourists heading to Mitsukishi shopping centre along Regent Street (I wonder why the Japanese would go to a Japanese mall in London), Edokko, located quite a distance at a quieter part of Holborn, is more subdued.
Unassuming and discreet would aptly describe Edokko. One could easily walk past the restaurant along Red Lion Street without noticing it. It's not exactly the place where you would 'walk-in' for a meal. The lack of publicity probably contributed to why Eddoko was barely half filled whenever we visited. Which is just as well for Edokko, in my opinion, is a hidden gem.
Food aside, Edokko's strength lies in the subtlety in its ambience. You would almost sense the zen in the restaurant the moment you step right into the restaurant. That's only on the ground floor. The real deal lies on its first floor. Tatami mats lined the raised floor with sunken in foot rests.
Erm, there's no holes for your feet
"Erm, but there is no holes to put your feet," a staff replied when I requested for the only private room Edokko has. This one private room comes without any foot rests. Perfect for those looking for a bit of privacy and don't mind sitting cross-legged.
We got Edokko's 'special dinner set' when we first visited it two years back. It used to go for £35 per person (min 2 persons). This time round, we noted that the price has increased to £40. Having taken a bite earlier, the three of us decided to go ala carte instead.
Shake chazuke (£4.80) – green tea with rice on grilled salmon and imago chazuke (£7.80) – green tea with rice on grilled eel were rather interesting. Both came with pots of green tea, which were promptly emptied into the bowl of rice when they were brought to the table. It reminded me of some fish porridge that I came across in a food court in Singapore – fish on rice with a ladle of fish soup over it. I thought that the tea took the edge off the salmon and eel. A stomach filler but rather underwhelming.
Wife was raving about Edokko's nabeyaki udon (£13). According to her, Edokko's is one of the few places that serves it in London. Other than a single strand of udon, she refused to share it with me. It must be really good then. It could be that London was hit by a heavy downpour not to mention a chilly wind that night but the warm flavoured soup did cheer her up quite a bit. The udon? Its texture rivals that at Koya's.
We were quite disappointed with the stewed belly pork (£6.80). It came across as a tad tough and heavily flavoured with aniseed.
The agedashi tofu (£6) was of the correct variety; we were understandably paranoid after our experience at Crane and Tortoise. I thought that the tofu dish was overpriced compare to say the rice dishes. Will give this a skip if I were to return.
It was getting a bit warm in the room and the Little One was kicking up a fuss when the softshell crab and tuna roll were served so I couldn't really recall exactly how they turned out. But Wife said later that they weren't spectacular so I guess I didn't miss much.
While we weren't awed by Edokko's food this time round, having a private room (on tatami mats, no less) to ourselves was a treat. Imagine enjoying a hot broth with green tea and sesame ice-cream for desserts in the dead of winter. That's definitely something worth looking forward to.

True Story,
Author's infos
Gender: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Tue 8th of December 2009
Melinda grumbled, "Bah Humbug I hate Christmas!"
Melinda and her husband Mike used to go all out at Christmas time, decorating every inch of the house, inside and out. It was her favorite holiday. One of the traditions Melinda brought from her childhood was the family setting up the tree the first Sunday of December. Nowadays it was not just their kids, but grandkids as well. The sounds of children giggling, a serenade of Christmas melodies, make that day extra special. This year however just wasn't the same, because her husband divorced her and married a woman half her age. Now all she does is grumble and say,"Bah humbug, and to hell with Christmas!"
However, the coming Friday was Christmas. Instead of celebrating, she would spend the day sleeping late, enjoying a TV dinner while watching one of her old taped movies, like "Gone with the Wind." Or so she thought, up until the phone rang. When she answered it was her mother. She was calling to invite Melinda to come home for Christmas, after all she was only forty miles away. As usual, mom wouldn't take no for an answer.
"But Mom, I don't feel like celebrating, it brings back too many painful memories."
"I know dear, but it doesn't do you any good to sit alone in that big house and sulk. You must come and spend a few days with us, after all honey, it will do you good. Now tell me you will come, please."
She frowned and spit out her tongue, knowing dang well her mom would gripe forever if she didn't. "Okay, Mother, if it will make you happy, I will come. I start my holiday time this Wednesday, and could leave after supper, that way I should miss most of the heavy traffic. Now I don't want you to plan anything special just because I am coming to visit, Mother!"
"Oh, I won't dear, it will be a joy just to see you again. You know it's been over two years since we spent Christmas together. I hate the idea of you spending it alone because of that damn husband of yours!"
"Ex-husband mother, his choice, not mine, so I do what I can to move on. Please don't say his name out loud, in my book he will remain nameless."
"Okay honey, see you Wednesday."
Melinda and her mother bade each other goodbye. She then went into the bedroom and began packing and planning. One big suitcase would be all she needed. She'd pack the car early, eat a bite, check the weather, and leave there around six p.m. After all it shouldn't be that hard to make the journey home, weather permitting. Following that she went shopping to buy presents nevertheless as she didn't want them to think she was a scrooge.
That Wednesday she slept late, mainly because it would take all her energy to endure her mother's busybody attitude and yapping voice. She chuckled to herself, "Oh I just know she could play the wicked witch in the movie 'The Wizard of Oz' and win an Oscar."
She made a last minute check to make sure she hadn't forgotten something, and then loaded up the car. Next, she fixed a bite to eat and sat down to watch the weather channel. She almost bit her tongue when she heard the weatherman say there was a forty percent chance of snow that afternoon. Dang-it, if it were up to her she wouldn't go anywhere with a forecasted storm front moving in. Maybe she could leave a little earlier and get home before it came through. She did up the dishes and headed out, hoping she could miss the storm.
She had only traveled about ten miles when it began to snow, lightly at first, then within a few minutes, heavier. Not the kind of wispy gentle snow often portrayed in images of Christmas, but heavy with flecks of ice beating down heavily on the windshield, making it very hard to see.
She grumbled, "Goddamn weather! I should've known I couldn't drive home without something happening."
Melinda thought about turning around and heading home, it wouldn't hurt her feelings at all to do so. On the other hand she knew she would feel as guilty as hell the rest of the day and through the holidays, because she always told everyone, "Family was important, and they need to be happy especially at Christmas time."
She sighed, shook her shoulders, and prepared for the tedious drive. To keep her spirit up she put "Trisha Yearwood's The Sweetest Gift" CD into the player. Music always calmed her troubled spirit.
Luck must have been sitting in the front seat with her because there wasn't much traffic on the road. Nevertheless the nasty weather had slowed her car down to a crawl at thirty-five miles per hour.
She began thinking about her own life. For a woman of fifty-six Melinda still considered herself sexy. A five-foot-four full figured vivacious woman with long red hair and emerald-green eyes. Her shape was a turn on for most men. They desired a woman with a little meat on her bones, not a skinny one that slipped through their fingers like a bar of soap.
She glanced at the car clock, five p.m., and it was already growing dark. That was okay, if she was careful, she'd make it home by nine.
Melinda traveled about another mile down the road and saw a car pulled off to the side with its emergency flashers on. When she got closer there stood someone waving their arms madly, trying to flag someone down for help. Every time a car passed they got drenched with the slush. At first she hesitated in stopping, because it might not be a safe idea. After pondering things awhile, she decided why not, it was Christmas and no one should spend it stranded. Slowing down, she pulled off the road behind the vehicle and noticed the person was a man.
He approached her car and she rolled the window down. His sapphire-blue eyes were alluring and his smile lit up his whole face. "Thanks lady, I was beginning to think no one would stop!"
"You're welcome, looks like there isn't much of the Christmas spirit around nowadays."
"I hear yah, I've been standing her for fifteen minutes."
Melinda eyed him up and down and noticed that due to the sleet, snow, and slush, he was drenched. Yet, she could make out that he was tall, muscular, had piercing blue eyes, and jet-black hair. She hadn't seen a man this good looking for eons, and it made her tremble with desire. She hoped he didn't notice it.
"What's wrong with you car?"
"It looks like I either have a dead battery or my starter went out. I was going to call a tow truck, but I have no cell phone signal here."
"Well I don't know a thing about cars, but I do have On-Star, and they can connect me with triple A. By the way, you look soaked to the bone, why don't you get into the car and get warm while I make the call."
"Thanks, you must be my Christmas angel!"
She rolled her eyes, giggled to herself, and then unlocked the passenger door. He slid inside and waited patiently for her to make the call.
"On-Star, how may I help you?"
"I found a stranded motorist, and he needs a tow truck."
"I see you're location is on I-55. Want me to call triple A for you?"
"Thanks, I'd appreciate that."
While she waited, she turned to him and introduced herself. "Hello, my name is Melinda."
"Hi Melinda, the name's Jackson, but you can call me Jack."
"Glad to meet you Jack."
On Star interrupted the conversation. "I have triple A on the phone, go ahead, and talk."
"Hello ma'm, this is Charlie, BJ's Wrecker Service, how can I help you?"
"I found someone stranded on the northbound lane of I-55, he thinks his battery or starter is acting up because his car won't start."
"That's a shame, especially in weather like this. I'm afraid all my trucks are busy right now, and it looks like they won't be able to get there before one a.m., that's if the snow lets up. Otherwise, it won't be till late tomorrow morning."
"Oh my, what are we going to do?"
Jack interrupted, "Excuse me Melinda."
She told Charlie to wait a moment while she talked to the owner of the car.
"What's wrong, Jack?"
"Well with the snow coming down this heavy, I doubt if they will find us tonight. May I suggest we find a diner, get something to eat, and then we can decide what to do?"
She agreed with him and then turned her attention back to the tow truck driver. "We have an idea. Since this is not an emergency, why don't you wait until tomorrow? There's no use for you to try to make it out to here in this crazy weather. I'll give you my cell number, and you can call us tomorrow when you head out."
"I hear you, it's coming down pretty hard out there. Now, give me your cell phone number, weather permitting, I should be able to head out of here by eight a.m."
She gave him her cell number and then told the driver goodbye. Turning her attention back to Jack, she was about to say something when he spoke up and said, "Well, that takes care of the car. What are we going to do about tonight?"
She then told him, "Well, I'm headed for Springfield to spend the holidays with my parents, where are you headed?"
"Elkhart, it's a little up the road from there, I was planning on spending Christmas with my aunt and her family."
"Hey, I know where that is, because I grew up in the area. I can take you there if they cannot get your car fixed. After all, it's not that much out of my way."
"You really don't half to do all that much, lady."
"Let's just say I'll do it in the spirit of Christmas."
He reached out his hand and said, "I'd be honored to accept."
His blue-eyes pierced right through her, and she had this overwhelming desire to kiss him. Instead, she shook his hand and then said, "Why don't you get your things. We can keep them in my car for safety reasons."
It took only a few minutes to transfer his things to her trunk. She looked at her watch, six-forty-five p.m., then looked out the window. It was already pitch black, with the snow and sleet still coming down in buckets. She took the CD out and turned on the radio so they could listen to the weather reports. They heard the announcer say that it was still storming heavily and, if possible, to stay at home.
She turned to Jack and chuckled, "Maybe we can be one step ahead of this storm. Instead of looking for a place to eat, why don't you look for a motel? I'm not driving any further than I have to."
As they drove she told Jack a little about herself, adding that this year she was having a terrible time adjusting to things because she just went through a divorce.
Jack was apologetic and began telling her about himself, his place of employment, adding that he'd made director of marketing is less than four years. At thirty-five, that was not an easy task.
She liked his personality and sense of humor. It made it easy for her to forget the problems in her own life. Fifteen minutes passed as they crept along, but it felt like hours. The road was beginning to get slippery, and after they saw a couple of wrecks, she knew they should stop for the night as soon as possible.
Before she could say anything Jack piped up, "Hey, I see a Denny's, we can stop there."
She spoke up and said, "Jack I also see a Holiday Inn Express, and since the road is really getting dangerously slippery, I think we should stay there for the night."
"I was just wondering about asking you if we should just find a motel for the night, but didn't know how to approach you."
Melinda laughed, "I think you have been reading my mind."
Jack smirked and said, "Since you were nice enough to stop and help me, don't worry about the expense. I can put it on my company's charge card."
"Thanks for the gesture, it wasn't needed, but I appreciate it."
She smiled politely, but in the back of her mind she was screaming, "Sure beats spending a boring evening traveling in this bleak weather or listening to mom's gossip."
After she pulled into the parking lot he touched her shoulder. "I'll go in and get us a couple of rooms, okay?"
"Sure, it will give me time to calm down from the ride."
It wasn't long before he came back out to the car with a troubled look on his face.
"Uh-oh, what's wrong?"
"They only have one room available, with one bed, they said they can bring in another roll away bed if we want. I'm sorry, but that's all they have."
She blushed, batted her eyes, tried to sound calm, and said, "Don't worry, under these circumstances, we can make due. I'm too exhausted to drive down the road for something better."
"Okay, well here's your key, tell me what to get you from the trunk and I'll bring it to the room, there is no need for both of us to stand out in this weather."
She went to the trunk, opened it, pointed out the bag she brought and asked, "Sure you can handle things?"
"Yes, now go inside and get warm, and make sure you turn the heat up in the room, I'm freezing."
Melinda turned around so he couldn't see her naughty expression and walked toward the motel door. She whispered, "I have ways to warm you that are better than that heater."
The first thing she did when she entered the room was kick off her shoes. Next she called her parents. Of course, omitting the details about the stranded male motorist she picked up. Her mother would have a conniption fit if she knew.
"Hi Mom, I'm afraid I won't be there tonight, I'm stranded in the storm. I've checked into the Holiday Inn Express."
"Oh my, are you okay my dear? I wondered if you decided to drive here. I seen the weather and thought you might not."
"It wasn't doing anything when I left home, Mom. Tell Dad I'm okay and not to worry. However, it looks like I might be here a couple of days too. I'll call you when I leave here. Goodbye."
"Thanks for calling honey. Your dad said to say hi, and that he will save some eggnog for you. Bye dear."
She had just hung up the phone when someone knocked on the door, "It's Jack, let me in, my arms are full."
"Okay, give me a second."
She helped with the luggage then turned to Jack and suggested, "Better get out of those wet clothes and maybe take a hot shower to warm up."
It was then that he really got a good look at Melinda. He licked his lips and felt his mouth go dry. Wow, she was gorgeous and he loved full figured women, especially ones with red hair and green eyes. He felt himself quivering clear to his dick. He almost said something, but decided not to because she might be offended.
Instead he hung up his coat. "Hey, that's a great idea."
He then gathered some dry clothes and headed for the shower.
She watched him closely as he walked to the bathroom. She almost bit her tongue when she saw his muscles rippling through his shirt. "Oh my god, I wonder what he looks like naked." She quickly turned away so he would not notice her staring.
"Jack, I think I will see what they have to offer in room service, I'm getting hungry."
She was about to dial the phone when she stopped, maybe she'd better ask him what he wanted before she ordered. She got off the bed and made her way to the bathroom
The moment Jack was in the shower he reached down to touch his quivering cock. As his hand slid around it, he wished it was Melinda's hands stroking him. As the hot water pelted his skin, his hands jacked his cock.
A knock on the door interrupted his happy mood. Melinda was mumbling something.
He shook his head, because he couldn't understand her. He peeked around the shower curtain and yelled, "I can't hear you, open the door a crack and tell me what you just said."
He then froze, oh shit, what if she sees my dick? He quickly tried his best to hide it.
The moment she opened the door a bit, she gasped. She only intended to tell him what she said and not look at him. However, she couldn't take her eyes off his nude body glistening through the shower curtain, he was gorgeous. That was when she saw it. "Oh, my god, he has a hard on."
"Ah, ah Jack, I was going to ask what you wanted from room service? I didn't mean to interrupt you."
Jack smirked devilishly. "Well, my question for you is, do you like what you see?"
She blushed and blurted out, "Yes, but I think I'll let you finish your shower before I order room service."
"Why thank you. I hope I don't offend you, but I have an idea, why don't you join me? There is always room for two, especially for a beautiful redhead."
Melinda stood there in awe for a second, toying with the words he just said. She winked and then told herself, "Why not, it's time I have a bit of fun on my own, it has been too damn long since I'd even seen a man, let alone touch one!"
"Sure thing, give me time to take off my clothing and I'll join you honey."
"That's the spirit, come here baby. After all, I can show you just how appreciative I am for what you're doing for me, my Christmas Angel."
Melinda thought she would pass out from anticipation. With trembling fingers she took off her clothing right there. She walked into the room and climbed into the shower with Jack.
The moment his hands touched her, she felt a spark that went clear to the center of her womanhood. When their lips met she wanted to shout, "Ooooh baby, I need and want you, make me feel like a woman again!"
He leaned down and kissed her as their tongues did the dance of lovers. Hot damn, it felt like a bolt of lightning just struck him. No woman ever did this to him before. He held onto her tightly because he thought he might go weak in the knees and pass out.
She broke the kiss and asked, "Jack, how'd you like to be my Christmas present this year?"
"Baby, I know you've been hurt real bad, and if you'll allow me to, I can love those memories away. Give me a chance honey; I want to be more than just your present."
Melinda looked like a scared deer in the headlights. She sighed, licked her lips, and uttered, "Jack go slow, please, one step at a time. I'm not promising anything, let's just see what happens."
"Okay, I can do that. However, right now, how about us getting out of this shower and ending what we started on that big bed in the other room?"
She nodded yes and he helped her out of the shower. They dried each other off and she let him lead her by the hand to the bed. She wondered if he needed her as bad as she did him.
He kissed her softly as he laid her on the bed. His hands then started caressing her with a feathery touch starting at her lips and working downward toward her beautiful big breasts.
As he traced her skin with his fingers, Melinda lifted her chest to him, ran her fingers through his hair, and purred, "Ooooh god, yes, I love what you're doing to me, please don't stop!"
He couldn't believe his eyes, her full breasts sagged a bit but the hard nipples were pink and stood out begging for attention. He kissed one and then the other as his hands kneaded her globes. He then held the nipple with his teeth, ran his tongue across it feeling it harden, one and then the other. She reacted by gasping and arching her back toward him. After a few moments he started kissing his way downward, feeling her stomach shivering with desire slightly. When he came to her navel, he flicked it with his tongue.
One of her hands began to stroke the middle of his back and she felt him quiver. God, she desired to feel him taste, touch, and play with every delectable inch of her.
"Ooooh baby, you sure know how to push a woman's buttons! Jack, please eat my pussy!"
He moved and positioned himself between her legs, her downy soft pussy hairs were drenched, and the aroma was intoxicating. He spread her labia and slid his tongue from her clit to the hole.
When he stuck it inside her vaginal orifice she moaned, "Yes, ooooh fuck, yes," pulling his head so close he gasped for air.
He reached out to hold onto her hips as his mouth began to tantalize her clit more and his finger entered the pulsating hole. All of a sudden Melinda began squealing in delight and it was apparent that she was close to climax. Jack then took her clit in his teeth and bit it gently. She bucked, held his head like a vice, and shuddered with her first orgasm.
"Oh my god, Jack! I love the way that you show your gratitude!"
He grinned. "Baby, I haven't shown you enough gratitude yet, the fun is just beginning!"
The sensations were indescribable. Melinda never would have guessed that any man could or would make her feel like a woman again. She wanted to reach down and play with his cock and balls.
"Jack, how about we do a sixty-nine?"
"Not yet baby, I want to make love to you like you've experienced before."
"You can, but I want to touch your cock and balls, I love doing that. Just in case you're wondering something, I love to suck and swallow."
He felt his balls tighten when she said those words. "Well then how's about I fuck your cute little mouth, sugar?"
"Bring that beautiful cock to me baby, dinner can wait a little while longer, I'm hungry for tube steak!"
He moved up next to her on the bed. She pushed him down on the bed, got between his legs and engulfed his entire dick with one swallow, all eight inches of it. He watched in awe as her fingers, tongue and long hair tantalized his dick.
"Oh fuck, you weren't just whistling Dixie, you really know how to suck a dick!"
She loved the taste of his cock. That was something "you know who" never allowed her to do much. She watched his face and she moved up and down his pulsating shaft. It was then that her throbbing clit screamed, "Enough sucking doll, let's fuck!"
She stopped sucking and shrieked, "I need to be fucked Jack!"
He pulled her up onto him and she hovered over his cock. He held her hips while she guided her wanting pussy down on his pole. Slowly she began to rock back and forth, reveling in the feeling of his cock deep inside her. Melinda leaned forward and they kissed deep and hard.
He thrust his cock into her like a jackhammer on concrete. Thrusting hard, deep, and fast, feeling the tip hitting bottom.
She cried out, "Ooooooh god, fuck me harder baby!"
His hands steadied her waist as waves of sheer pleasure washed over him. When she broke the kiss he latched onto her right nipple and started chewing it as his cock tantalized her hot box.
She closed her eyes, rode him hard and moaned, "Mmmmm! I like what you're doing honey!"
He stopped sucking her tit for a moment and watched himself penetrating her pussy. Each time she slammed herself down on him he shuddered, close to blowing his load. Deeper, harder, with a steady rhythm, they made love.
With a panting voice he uttered, "I'm gonna cum! Can I cum inside you doll?"
She looked lovingly into his eyes and she felt something between them that she had not felt for a very long time. She shrieked, "Cum inside my hot cunt!"
He thrust deeper, harder, with her pussy muscles gripping him like a vice. A few more thrusts were all it took for him to go rigid and he exploded deep inside her.
As soon as she felt his hot cum inside her, it triggered another climax. "OH GODDDDDDD!" She collapsed on top of him, gasping for air.
He touched her cheek softly and whispered, "Oh my pretty Christmas Angel, that was wonderful."
Melinda sighed, moved off him, curled up in his arms, and laid her head against his chest.
They lay there for a few moments feeling totally satisfied. He leaned down, kissed her forehead and asked, "What would you say if I told you I was thinking about calling my aunt and making up some excuse saying I cannot make it to her house for a few days?"
"I'd say why not, it's time for me to put the past behind me and feel like a woman again. I'll call my mom and tell her we're stranded for a couple more days at least."
He smiled mischievously, "Well, my pretty Christmas Angel, how about I take the time to bend that halo of yours?"

My favorite epoisde(s) of the show would have to be 4.07 Threshold . That epoisde is so powerful and really shows the strong love Melinda and Jim have and that it's strong enough for him to stay with her. My other favorite epoisde would have to be 5.04 Do Over . I think the ghost story in that epoisde was amazing and raw.

All about making whisky
Sourcing actor, importer and exclusive distributor of a portfolio of international brands, La Maison du Whisky is, since 60 years a reference for whisky and spirit lovers. Thanks to our close relationships with producers and independent bottlers, we have access to limited editions and unique products we bring to market exclusively. Curious and creative, we are driven by our passion for products and our desire to constantly bring our clients the latest expressions through our own shops, our website whisky.fr and selected wine retail shops in France.
Having developed in the boom years after the Second World War, conventional agriculture is based on notions of yield. Largely applied in the world of wine-growing, this approach began to be challenged in the early 1990s. Leading the revolt were a handful of grape growers and wine producers who denounced the over-use of pesticides, fungicides and yeasts that have been cultured in laboratories. This trend of moving towards natural methods, that the main wine producers are now also trying to develop, has resulted in the creation of many types of certification; among the strictest is Demeter; there are also various groups and associations in France and across the Alps such as Renaissance AOC and Triple A.

The Sharken
| |
| |
Attack: | Heavy Melee |
Special: | Charge Towards Physical Defenses |
Introduced: | Part 3: Aquanos |
The Sharken is an aquatic creature that was added with the Part 3: Aquanos DLC on 26 April 2012 for the PC.
These creatures possess the ability to physically push aside hero defenses, similar to the Goblin Mech boss monster. Sharken will generally not stop to attack hero defenses, but proceed directly to the Eternia Crystals, pushing physical hero defenses out of its way.
This enemy, like the Djinn and Goblin Copter, is announced upon arrival even though it is not considered a miniboss. However, it is one of the more difficult monsters, especially for beginning defenders to defeat, as they have a large amount of health and do a surprising amount of damage.
- Sharken will initially walk slowly across the map. However, upon coming into range of a physical hero defense they will wind up, then rapidly charge towards it and begin to deal tremendous damage with its heavy melee attacks, as well as knocking your defenses back from their original spots.
- Sharken take several seconds (standing in place) to wind up a charge. If left uninterrupted and allowed to charge, it is immune to all stunning towers, including Gas Traps, Shock Beams, and Lightning Towers.
- Using a combination between Auras and Traps do not give Sharken a target, therefore will always walk slowly across the map. Sharken can be dealt with using DPS-centered heroes before they reach a crystal.
- Gas Traps can render Sharken completely immobile, allowing heroes the ample opportunity to take them out before they reach any tangible defenses.
- Placing an inexpensive defense (such as a Magic Blockade) near a cliff will cause Sharkens to charge at it, plummeting to their death.
- Using a Holographic Decoy is an excellent alternative to solid defenses, as Sharken cannot move them.
- Lighting Stance and Shock beams can interrupt Sharken wind-up attempts.
- Lightning Towers can interrupt a Sharken's wind-up as if they were player damage and will leave the monster stunned for several seconds when they are interrupted.
- The Sharken is mentioned in the weapon description of the Bonecutter.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released quarterback Josh Freeman on Thursday league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
The team tried to trade the quarterback but wasn't able to find a taker. By releasing Freeman the Buccaneers are obligated to pay the quarterback all $6.2 million he was owed in remaining salary this season.
Freeman who was drafted 17th overall by the Buccaneers in the 2009 draft was benched in favor of rookie Mike Glennon prior to the Bucs' 13-10 loss to Arizona this past Sunday. In 60 career games Freeman has thrown for 13534 yards 80 touchdowns and 66 interceptions.
The NFL Players Association is also investigating how Freeman's presence in Stage 1 of the league's substance-abuse program became public earlier this week. On Tuesday Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano was asked by reporters if he was the source of the information and said "absolutely not."
Freeman was fined twice in the last month for conduct detrimental to the team according to an SI.com report. The website reported he will appeal the fines.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A dying man's videotaped eye blinks, which prosecutors say identified his killer, will be a major part of the testimony at the suspect's trial beginning in southwest Ohio.
Thirty-four-year-old Ricardo Woods goes on trial Tuesday on charges of murdering David Chandler last year in Cincinnati. Police interviewed Chandler while he was paralyzed after being shot in the head and neck as he sat in his car. Prosecutors say Chandler identified Woods's photo through a series of eye blinks.
Chandler died about two weeks later.
The judge has ruled that jurors will be allowed to see the video of Chandler's blinking eyes. Woods attorney argued that the blinks weren't conclusive and should not be allowed in evidence.
Authorities say Chandler and Woods knew each other through drug deals.

I was given a grey kitten 8 years ago and was told that he had a small kink in his tail. I have since been told that this kink is a problem that persian cats are prone to. He is not a pure bred cat, but he is very large and has a long blue coat. Do any breeders of persian cats know of a condition that affects the tail in this way? It feels as if it has been broken and then healed out of line. It doesn't hurt him and he has full movement and feeling in it. I used to have a tortoiseshell cat, I was told that they are a vets nightmare because they are prone to using their claws. Does anyone out there know if this is true or not. My tortoiseshell was very scratchy and bitey.

Youth is served as Ducks win
ANAHEIM -- Attempting to fend off a stiff challenge from the surging Phoenix Coyotes, the Ducks on Sunday night iced a lineup that included five players who began this season with the Iowa Chops of the American League.
Injuries to right wing Teemu Selanne and defensemen Francois Beauchemin and Kent Huskins, as well as a four-game, NHL-imposed suspension to right wing Corey Perry, left the Ducks little choice.
Led by a power-play goal and an assist from rookie winger Bobby Ryan, the youth brigade that also includes Brett Festerling, Brendan Mikkelson, Andrew Ebbett and Drew Miller helped the Ducks hang on to second place in the Pacific Division and sixth place in the Western Conference with a 2-0 victory at Honda Center.
The Ducks (20-15-5), who won for just the second time in seven games, also received key contributions from big-name veterans. Defenseman Chris Pronger opened the scoring with a power-play goal 3:32 into the second period, and captain Scott Niedermayer feathered pretty assists on both goals.
Goaltender Jonas Hiller, meanwhile, recorded 29 saves for his third shutout of the season, but it has become clear that circumstances that include the club's mediocre play though 40 games have resulted in an accelerated re-tooling process that will be necessary if the Ducks are to remain ahead of up-and-coming teams such as the Coyotes (19-16-5).
"We're not going to stay status quo," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "No sports teams do. When you're not having the success that's required, there is usually some form of change -- if it's a change of lines, change of position, change of a coach, change of all those things.
"The youth in our lineup is expected to bring that energy. It's not to say that the veterans are off the hook, but we have asked those young players to provide that youthful enthusiasm, to be part of the process here."
In addition to Ryan, who ranks sixth among NHL rookie scorers with 21 points despite not being summoned from Iowa until Nov. 15, the Ducks also received particularly significant contributions from rookie defensemen Festerling and Mikkelson.
Paired with Niedermayer and playing his 21st NHL game, Festerling was strong in 20 minutes, 25 seconds of ice time, including during much of a critical second-period, penalty kill. Mikkelson, recalled only Thursday, played a solid 17:57 in his second game, primarily alongside Pronger.
"There are some good young players here," Niedermayer said. "Some of these guys have been around for a couple of years. We're comfortable with them stepping in, and they're comfortable.
"We're running out of time to not be consistent. We need to start yesterday, and we'll play to the strengths of the guys we have dressed."
Miller, who appeared in 26 games with the Ducks in 2007-08, made his season debut on a line with Ebbett and veteran Brendan Morrison.
"Ask any guy in here," Morrison said. "When you were a young player and were given an opportunity, you played with a lot of excitement and brought energy. Guys feed off that. You can't always rely on the young guys to bring that, but it seems at this point in time it's helping our club."
Coyotes goalie Ilya Bryzgalov registered 32 saves, falling to 4-2-1 against the Ducks since Phoenix acquired him on waivers early last season. ... The Ducks and the NHL held a pre-game ceremony to honor versatile Ducks forward Todd Marchant for having appeared in his milestone 1,000th career game Dec. 22 at Vancouver.
1. JONAS HILLER: Ducks goalie recorded his third shutout of the season with 29 saves, including eight during a crucial second-period, penalty-killing sequence
2. BOBBY RYAN: Rookie winger continued to deliver for the Ducks, notching an assist and a power-play goal
3. SCOTT NIEDERMAYER: Pretty assists by team captain set up both Ducks goals

Montana Rocky Mountain Front Victory
Statement from Larry J. Schweiger
President and CEO
National Wildlife Federation
October 7, 2004
WASHINGTON, DC — "The Bush administration has made a wise and welcomed decision to table its plans to drill Montana's Rocky Mountain Front. While the administration's decision does not permanently protect this pristine natural area, it keeps the Front protected for the immediate future. We would hope this decision signals a change in the administration's attitude towards inappropriate development of prime wildlife habitat on public land.
"The Rocky Mountain Front, where the Rockies meet the Great Plains, is an American jewel. In Montana, it's home to a wide array of wildlife, including grizzly bears, bighorn sheep and elk.
"Because it is such a remarkable wildlife habitat, the Rocky Mountain Front had become emblematic of the Bush administration's overly aggressive policy of opening many of America's most prized public wildlife habitats to damaging drilling operations.
"Let's be clear: Environmentally sensitive oil and gas development can be an appropriate use of public lands. In fact, this year, some 6,000 drilling leases have already been approved on public lands. But drilling is an inappropriate use of America's very best wildlife habitats.
"This victory on the Front shows the power that America's hunters and anglers really have when they fight for conservation. America's sportsmen and women oppose mortgaging the nation's wildlife heritage for fleeting amounts of energy.
"Now it looks like the administration may be starting to listen.
"Our affiliate, the Montana Wildlife Federation, deserves special credit for this victory. In Montana as well as nationally, it has worked tirelessly and successfully to muster public opinion against plans to drill the Front.
"Unfortunately, other places, just as important to America's natural legacy as the Rocky Mountain Front, still face the prospect of being despoiled by oil and gas development.
"The Otero Mesa and Valle Vidal in New Mexico, and Wyoming's Red Desert, are incredible wildlife habitats that are on the fast track to drilling. The National Wildlife Federation and America's sportsmen will keep fighting for these special places, just as we've fought for the Front.
"Mr. President, your administration has just recognized the natural value of the Rocky Mountain Front, and we applaud you for it. Now is the time to take the next step and support efforts to permanently protect the Rocky Mountain Front."ť
Protecting wildlife through education and action since 1936, the National Wildlife Federation is America's conservation organization, creating solutions that balance the needs of people and wildlife now and for future generations.

I'm not entirely sure how we came up with this idea, all I know is it happened while on our way to McDonalds to get the McRib (yes, it's back) and some Monopoly pieces. We were kicking around ideas for new contests and got to thinking about successful contest ideas we could mirror, when someone brought up Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
We all know the premise: there are five Wonka bars that contain a golden ticket for a tour of the Chocolate Factory. Unfortunately, we don't have a Chocolate Factory... and we don't think many would enjoy a tour of a living room filled with banquet tables, BFAds t-shirts and computers. Luckily, we do have gift cards!
When we start shipping out the shirts later today, we're going to be including a few Golden BFAds 2010 t-shirts with random orders. If you are lucky enough to receive a Golden shirt, all you need to do is take a picture of yourself wearing the t-shirt in front of your favorite store and email the photo to us. In return, we'll send you a $100 gift-card to the store of your choice!
We're looking at revising the BFADS.NET presents portion of the Golden t-shirt, so the first few Golden shirts awarded may be slightly different than future Golden shirts (and thus worth thousands of dollars on eBay). Winners will receive both their original order and a golden t-shirt.
Anyone who purchased/purchases a BFAds t-shirt is automatically entered into the Golden T-shirt contest and the only way to enter the contest is to purchase a BFAds 2010 t-shirt (remember all profits go to charity).
We're still working on finalizing all the prizes for the November Give-Away Contest, but we hope you all enjoy this tiny contest in the interim!
Thanks for Visiting and Tell Your Friends!

Maren Lammerding
Hi, my name is Maren Lammerding and I'm from Germany. I have been an intern for AGCO Australia in Marketing since September 2011. I'm currently in my fifth semester of a combined Bachelor of International Business Law and Business Management at the University of Applied Sciences Gelsenkirchen. Since I grew up in a small rural town I have noticed how important agriculture is to our economy and how it's getting more and more important in the future. In addition to the fact that I need to do an internship during my study program, I chose AGCO Australia as being a perfect place to do the internship. Here I have got the chance to put into practice the knowledge I have acquired over the course of my degree and to gain new practical experiences by working abroad. Since I would like to work on an international basis in the long run I am really thankful and appreciate that AGCO Australia gives me the opportunity to do this internship.

The 2013 Grammy Awards may have been a little short on buzzworthy "Grammy Moments," but that's because the real fun was happening off stage. Kelly Clarkson, who was famously hit by a Bill Clinton photobomb at Barack Obama's inauguration, decided to turn the tables on Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi. (Between photobombing and proposing a drunken songwriting session with Miranda Lambert, it seems Kelly was having quite the time.)
Here are a few more "Grammy moments" you didn't see on the CBS telecast:
Jessica Biel is poppin' bottles with Jay-Z.
Much like Ellen (and the rest of the country), Elton John has a hard time keeping his focus above Katy Perry's neckline.
"Shhh … There, there …" Taylor Swift coddles fangirl Lena Dunham.
Who, in turn, accosts Kat Dennings.
Beyonce and her Grammy Award, sittin' in a tree …
Who knew Ellen was so down on her luck?
Adele and Jessica Biel aren't so much girls' girls, are they? High five!
Also happening off stage tonight? Justin Bieber attempting to steal the spotlight, and Taylor Swift dancing — really, really enthusiastically.

Elite offers a variety of massage therapy options from our licensed massage therapists including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and sports massage.
Our specialties include:
- Swedish massage
- Deep Tissue Massage
- Sports Massage
Our deep tissue massage is a type of massage aimed at the deeper tissue structures of the muscle and fascia, also called connective tissue. Deep tissue massage uses many of the same movements and techniques as Swedish massage, but the pressure will generally be more intense. It is also a more focused type of massage, as the therapist works to release chronic muscle tension or knots (also known as "adhesions.")

Crisp-tender baked pears dressed in a cookie crumb and almond coating provide an elegant ending to a special meal. "My family says I serve this whenever a creative mood strikes," notes Nancy Sparrow of Baltimore, Maryland.
30 Fall Harvest Salads
- 8 large firm pears
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup orange marmalade
- 1/3 cup crushed reduced-fat vanilla wafers (about 10 wafers)
- 1/3 cup finely chopped almonds
- 1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free reduced-sugar orange or plain yogurt
- Core pears from bottom, leaving steams intact. Peel pears, leaving a small amount of peel at stem end. Cut 1/4 in. from bottom to level if necessary. In a bowl, combine orange juice and marmalade; spoon over pears, letting excess drip into bowl. Set aside for sauce. Place wafer crumbs and almonds in a large shallow dish. Roll pears in crumb mixture to coat the bottom three-fourths of each pear.
- Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 35-45 minutes or until tender. Meanwhile, for sauce, combine yogurt and reserved marmalade mixture; refrigerate until serving. Serve with warm pears. Yield: 8 servings.

A soldier-- with roots in the Truckee Meadows-- has been killed in Iraq.
31-year old Army Sergeant Eric Morris was killed on April 28th, when a bomb exploded near his military vehicle. Four soldiers in all were killed in the blast. Sergeant Morris listed Sparks as his hometown, although his wife and two stepdaughters currently live in Washington. He was assigned to the Stryker Brigade Combat team of the 25th Infantry division out of Fort Lewis in Washington.

Wars And Their Aftermath
Things Seldom Spoken Of
December 4, 2004
The observant will have noticed that we hear little from the troops in Iraq and see almost nothing of the wounded. Why, one might wonder, does not CNN put an enlisted Marine before a camera and, for fifteen minutes without editing, let him say what he thinks? Is he not an adult and a citizen? Is he not engaged in important events on our behalf?
Sound political reasons exist. Soldiers are a risk PR-wise, the wounded a liability. No one can tell what they might say, and conspicuous dismemberment is bad for recruiting. An enlisted man in front of a camera is dangerous. He could wreck the governmental spin apparatus in five minutes. It is better to keep soldiers discreetly out of sight.
So we do not see much of the casualties, ours or theirs. Yet they are there, are somewhere, with missing legs, blind, becoming accustomed to groping at things in their new darkness, learning to use the wheelchairs that will be theirs for fifty years. Some face worse fates than others. Quadriplegics will be warehoused in VA hospitals where nurses will turn them at intervals, like hamburgers, to prevent bedsores. Friends and relatives will soon forget them. Suicide will be a frequent thought. The less damaged will get around.
For a brief moment perhaps the casualties will believe, then try desperately to keep believing, that they did something brave and worthy and terribly important for that abstraction, country. Some will even expect thanks. There will be no thanks, or few, and those quickly forgotten. It will be worse. People will ask how they lost the leg. In Iraq, they will say, hoping for sympathy, or respect, or understanding. The response, often unvoiced but unmistakable, will be, "What did you do that for?" The wounded will realize that they are not only crippled, but freaks.
The years will go by. Iraq will fade into the mist. Wars always do. A generation will rise for whom it will be just history. The dismembered veterans will find first that almost nobody appreciates what they did, then that few even remember it. If—when, many would say—the United States is driven out of Iraq, the soldiers will look back and realize that the whole affair was a fraud. Wars are just wars. They seem important at the time. At any rate, we are told that they are important.
Yet the wounds will remain. Arms do not grow back. For the paralyzed there will never be girlfriends, dancing, rolling in the grass with children. The blind will adapt as best they can. Those with merely a missing leg will count themselves lucky. They will hobble about, managing to lead semi-normal lives, and people will say, "How well he handles it." An admirable freak. For others it will be less good. A colostomy bag is a sorry companion on a wedding night.
These men will come to hate. It will not be the Iraqis they hate. This we do not talk about.
It is hard to admit that one has been used. Some of the crippled will forever insist that the war was needed, that they were protecting their sisters from an Islamic invasion, or Vietnamese, or Chinese. Others will keep quiet and drink too much. Still others will read, grow older and wiser—and bitter. They will remember that their vice president, a man named Cheney, said that during his war, the one in Asia, he "had other priorities." The veterans will remember this when everyone else has long since forgotten Cheney.
I once watched the first meeting between a young Marine from the South, blind, much of his face shot away, and his high school sweetheart who had come from Tennessee to Bethesda Naval Hospital to see him.
Hatred comes easily.
There are wounds and there are wounds. A friend of mine spent two tours in Asia
in that war now little remembered. He killed many people, not all of them soldiers.
It is what happens in wars. The memory haunts him. Jack is a hard man from a
tough neighborhood, quick with his fists, intelligent but uneducated—not
a liberal flower vain over his sensitivity. He lives in Mexican bars few would
enter and has no politics beyond an anger toward government.
He was not a joyous killer. He remembers what he did, knows now that he was had. It gnaws at him. One is wise to stay away from him when he is drinking.
People say that this war isn't like Viet Nam. They are correct. Washington fights its war in Iraq with no better understanding of Iraq than it had of Viet Nam, but with much better understanding of the United States. The Pentagon learned from Asia. This time around it has controlled the press well. Here is the great lesson of Southeast Asia: The press is dangerous, not because it is inaccurate, which it often is, but because it often isn't.
So we don't much see the caskets—for reasons of privacy, you understand.
The war in Iraq is fought by volunteers, which means people that no one in power cares about. No one in the mysteriously named "elite" gives a damn about some kid from a town in Tennessee that has one gas station and a beer hall with a stuffed buck's head. Such a kid is a redneck at best, pretty much from another planet, and certainly not someone you would let your daughter date. If conscription came back, and college students with rich parents learned to live in fear of The Envelope, riots would blossom as before. Now Yale can rest easy. Thank God for throwaway people.
The nearly perfect separation between the military and the rest of the country, or at least the influential in the country, is wonderful for the war effort. It prevents concern. How many people with a college degree even know a soldier? Yes, some, and I will get email from them, but they are a minority. How many Americans have been on a military base? Or, to be truly absurd, how many men in combat arms went to, say, Harvard?
Ah, but they have other priorities.
In fifteen years in Washington I knew many, many reporters and intellectuals and educated people. Almost none had worn boots. So it is. Those who count do not have to go, and do not know anyone who has gone, and don't interest themselves. There is a price for this, though not one Washington cares about. Across America, in places where you might not expect it—in Legion halls and VFW posts, among those who carry membership cards from the Disabled American Veterans—there are men who hate. They don't hate America. They hate those who sent them. Talk to the wounded from Iraq in five years.

NEW YORK (AP) — Amber Tamblyn, who stars in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" films and on TV in "House" and "Joan of Arcadia," is heading to Broadway.
Producers said Tuesday that Tamblyn will make her Great White Way debut in Beth Henley's comedy "The Miss Firecracker Contest" in the spring of 2013. The theater, co-stars and dates will be announced later.
Judith Ivey, who is currently starring on Broadway in "The Heiress" opposite Jessica Chastain, will direct, marking her own directorial Broadway debut.
The comedy, about a young woman who hopes winning a local talent contest will restore her soiled reputation, first appeared in New York off-Broadway in 1984 and was made into a 1989 film starring Holly Hunter, Mary Steenburgen and Tim Robbins.

Ben Cohen, the "Ben" of Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream, stamped bills at Little Rock's River Market Oct. 22 to promote StampStampede, which aims to build popular support to amend the Constitution to overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision. That's the ruling that corporations are people who can spend unlimited amounts to support or oppose candidates.
As Cohen stood outside the River Market, volunteers with the group Regnat Populus, which grew out of the Occupy Little Rock movement, flagged passersby with an offer: Meet Ben, get your dollar bill stamped, and get free ice cream.
According to StampStampede's website, almost 11,000 stamps with anti-Citizens United messages have been sold. Each bill supposedly passes through 875 sets of hands, so if you haven't seen one of these messages, you probably will. And yes, stamping dollar bills with a political statement is legal.
Regnat Populus is backing two measures that will or could be on your ballot next November. One, referred to voters by the Legislature, would prohibit Arkansas corporations from contributing to candidates. It does a lot of other things — some helpful, others maybe not. The other is a voter-led initiative that would cause corporations to lose their limited liability status in Arkansas if they contribute to any political cause.
I'm torn on all this, by the way. The current campaign finance system is a sanitized form of bribery. Much of the federal government's debt and dysfunction stems from elected officials' need to satisfy their donors. On the other hand, I also buy the Supreme Court's argument that financial support for a candidate is a form of political speech.
Actually, the most interesting part of Cohen's visit was his earlier speech at the Clinton School of Public Service.
As his company grew from a struggling two-man operation into one of the country's recognizable brands, he and partner Jerry Greenfield decided a business isn't just a product- or service-producing activity but "a combination of organized human energy plus money, which equals power."
They decided a business's success should be measured not just by profits but also by what it contributes to the common good. That meant creating profitable business practices that also aligned with the founders' values. The company pledged 7.5 percent of pretax profits to charity. It bought brownies for one ice cream flavor from a New York City organization that employs ex-convicts and ex-drug addicts, and for another flavor it bought coffee beans from a Mexican cooperative that paid workers well.
"What Jerry and I began to realize is that there's a spiritual aspect to business just as there is to the lives of individuals," he said. "As you give, you receive. As you help others, you're helped in return. As your business supports your community, the community supports your business."
Those concepts were first met with derision even though they are taught in the Bible, but now they are becoming more accepted, he said. It turned out they are good for business, too.
"When you connect with your consumers based on shared values, that's the strongest bond that you can ever build," he said. "It doesn't matter if the competition is on sale. People buy our ice cream because they connect with it."
Cohen and Greenfield often are associated with liberal causes, but the big idea, that corporate values should not be divorced from spiritual ones, should be universal. Corporations aren't people, but they are composed of them, and most people believe that making money and making a positive difference are both good things. As Cohen said, they can be done at the same time.

Canadiens first-round pick Nathan Beaulieu.
The Canadiens signed Brock Trotter to a one-year, two-way deal on Monday, and also announced the 12 players who will take part in the second part of the club's development camp, which runs July 6-8 at the Bell Sports complex in Brossard.
In 2010-11, Trotter registered 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists) in 49 games with Riga of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Trotter, 24, played 172 regular season games with the AHL's Hamilton Bulldogs from 2007-08 to 2009-10, recording 135 points (57 goals, 78 assists).
A native of Brandon, Manitoba, Trotter joined the Canadiens as a free agent on February 7, 2008 after three seasons with the WCHA University of Denver Pioneers. He led the team in scoring with 40 points in 40 games in 2006-07.
For the development camp, the list of prospects includes all seven players chosen at the 2011 NHL Entry Draft last month.
The Canadiens prospects will first take to the ice on Wednesday, July 6, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. The development camp consists of two on-ice training daily sessions at the Bell Sports Complex. All practices are open to the public. Off-ice conditioning sessions are also scheduled each day.
