Florida Panthers
Florida Panthers end season on high note with win over Washington Capitals
Coach Tom Rowe discusses Panthers' disappointing season
Panthers captain Derek MacKenzie stood in the Florida locker room, wearing a red undershirt and blue shorts with a bag of gear at his feet.
The Panthers had just ended a disappointing season Sunday night with a 2-0 victory over the Washington Capitals, which had the best record in the National Hockey League for the second season in a row.
That was very little solace for MacKenzie and his teammates, who won a division title in 2015-16 but will watch the playoffs at home this year while Washington aims for its first Stanley Cup.
"It has been a difficult season," said MacKenzie, who scored the first goal of the game. "We went through a lot of changes."
More changes could be on the way — quickly — as interim head coach Tom Rowe is not expected to be retained by president of hockey operations Dale Tallon.
"It is not a good feeling," Rowe said of missing the playoffs. "It is a very disappointing season obviously. Sometimes you have to take a step backward. I know our fans are very unhappy and deservedly so. We will be back next year. We have a lot of great pieces."
"Everyone expected us to be in the playoffs," Rowe added. "I will meet with Dale tomorrow and go over a couple of things."
After six losses in a row, the Panthers ended the season with two shutout wins as James Reimer took over in goal.
"A real disappointing season," Reimer said. "We battled hard all year. We are looking forward to next year. As disappointing as this season was, there are a lot of positive things to look forward for next year."
Florida was 35-36-11 with 81 points this season after registering 103 points last season and winning a division title.
In a case of what might have been, the Panthers gave a strong effort Sunday against a first-place team.
The Capitals had a power-play opportunity late in the second period but couldn't take advantage of it.
The Panthers almost scored short-handed but Jonathan Huberdeau couldn't convert from the right side following a pass from Vincent Trocheck on a two-and-one break.
Seconds later MacKenzie of the Panthers did score to make it 1-0 with 4:13 left in the second period.
"With all we have been through we will take it," MacKenzie said of the victory. "I have said all along this is a great group of guys."
The short-handed goal, off an assist from Colton Sceviour, came after teammate Reilly Smith was called for goaltender interference with 5:27 left in the second period.
The Panthers made it 2-0 with 10:13 left in the third period on a goal by Denis Malgin, with assists from Smith and Nick Bjugstad.
Reimer made a nice save with 12:32 left in the first period to keep the game scoreless.
About a minute later Trocheck, the only All-Star for the Panthers this season, had his shot bounce off the pipe. Washington starting goalie Braden Holtby, in preparation for the playoffs, was pulled after two periods in favor of Caps reserve goalie Philip Grubauer.
Washington had already clinched the President Trophy's for the most points in the league and had won the previous two games this season against the Panthers, both by the score of 4-2.
"They still have a powerful team," Rowe said of the Capitals, who used two minor league callups. "I love the way the young guys played. Malgin seems to get better every single game."
For another night silver linings will have to bring comfort for Panthers fans following a frustrating season.
NOTES: Florida's Jaromir Jagr, who played for the Capitals from 2001-04, had four shots on goal while playing 14:44. He played in all 82 games this season with 16 goals after playing in 79 last season. "He was tremendous in our locker room," said Rowe, who would not confirm if Jagr will return next season … The Panthers had lost 11 of their last 12 games in Washington … Florida ended the season 16-17-8 on the road and 19-19-3 at home … The Panthers were outshot 21-14 in the first two periods and 38-21 overall.

Here are some top tips for decorating your Christmas tree!
Ornament to tree ratio
For the perfect tree to ornament ratio, divide the height of tree in centimetres by 2.66. Using this ratio, The Langham Sydney needs a whopping 150 ornaments for its four metre high tree!
Red, green, and… blue!
Red and green are the traditional Christmas colours, but silver and blue can be used to create a 'white Christmas' theme down under. Even better – use ornaments with snowflake motifs!The Langham, Sydney sources their decorations from Wedgwood for a classic Christmas look.
Tinsel town
Since growing in popularity in the 1950's and 1960's, tinsel has been a mainstay of the average Christmas tree. Try substituting the big, fluffy lengths for something more delicate or nothing at all for a more modern look.
Tying it all together
Most of us accumulate our decorations over the years, leaving us with a random assortment of odd shapes and colours! Create a cohesive look by tying your Christmas decorations onto the tree with ribbon. Tip: Buy an extra-long roll to ensure you have enough for the entire tree.

In an effort to inspire and promote the most well rounded of lifestyles, Crunchy Radish is releasing the next installment of Meet the Makers. Here we highlight companies and people who are making strides in the health and wellness industry. Up next - Valérie Grandury, founder of Odacité, a natural and organic skin care company and a Crunchy Radish favorite.
It is evident that beauty comes from the inside out, yet what you put on your body is just as important as what you put in it. Odacité creates fresh and premium products which focus on just that. Here, founder and CEO Valérie Grandury discusses her wellness philosophy and what sets Odacité apart from other beauty brands.
1) How did Odacité come about?
It all started after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I realized that if i wanted to heal and for the cancer never to come back, I had to change everything...and I did.
I quit my job, went back to school to become a health and wellness coach, adopted a raw vegan diet, and started a daily practice of yoga and meditation.
Through this healing journey of removing toxins from my life, I looked for natural skincare products. We French take skincare very seriously...and what I found was indeed natural but never results-driven. So I started blending my own products - first for me and then for my coaching clients. Word spread fast, and in 2009 I took it to the next level and launched Odacité, making my private blends available globally.
2) What sets Odacité apart from other natural skin care lines on the market?
Odacité evolved from custom blending products for private clients, working one on one with clients, and realizing that nobody has one set skin type. Your skin is constantly changing as it is affected by factors like stress, diet, weather, pollution and hormones. So, my line is all about customizing your skincare treatment to your specific skin concern. I believe that adapting your skincare products to your skin's daily needs is the only way that you can get remarkable results and keep your skin fresh and youthful.
With my serum concentrate it is super easy as you just need to add 2-3 drops into your skin routine. For example, you may wake up with dehydrated skin and go to bed with hormonal pimple flaring. In this case, you add 2 drops of my Hydration Serum Concentrate Pomegranate + Rose Geranium in the morning and 2 drops of my Pimple Serum Concentrate Black Cumin + Cajeput in the evening. Each time you are creating your own intensive skin remedy.
3) What is your professional background?
After 20 years in advertising, producing commercials all over the world, I went back to school to become a health and wellness coach which led me to create Odacité.
4) How would you describe your wellness philosophy?
Listen to your body, the body never lies... if you are tired you need rest not more coffee!
If you are sick you can treat the symptoms with western medicine, but if you do not want the disease to come back, you need to change something in your lifestyle.
5) What are some of your biggest challenges in the beauty industry?
Fighting the misconception that natural products are less effective than chemical ones. Just like any other organ in your body, you need to feed your skin with the best nutrients that nature has to offer. Odacité is French results-driven skincare meets green California. You never have to sacrifice performance. Formulas are fast-acting, deeply penetrating, and will envelop you spirit in the most delicious scents.
6) What is your skin regime? Favorite beauty tip?
My skin regimen has to be quick as I'm always running, 3 min morning and night is all it takes
Morning: Exfoliate, tone, Day Cream + target with a Serum Concentrate
Evening: Cleanse, tone, Night Cream + target with a Serum Concentrate
Once a week: Deep Hydration Masque with lots of Hyaluronic acid to quench my skin cells.
Beauty Tip: customize, customize, customize!
I always have 3 different Serum concentrates to answer my main skin concerns
Youthful glow Serum Acai + Rose to address all skin aging concerns including; texture, elasticity, wrinkles & firmness.
Radiance Serum Green Tea Lemongrass for those days when I wake up tired.
Eye Contour Serum Baobab + Sarsaparilla to target all signs of aging around the fragile eye area.
7) Beauty and vitality come from the inside out. What are you "go-to" meals for:
Large smoothie with lots of greens and soaked chia or flax seeds for omegas. Depending on how I feel, I will supplement with things like maca, probiotics, cordycep, MSM, ashwagandha, and chaga.
Large salad, with some form of fermented food (like raw sauerkraut) and homemade seed/nut cheese.
I like to make it macrobiotic style -grain, sea vegetables, and beans.
Just discovered Inca golden berry - my new favorite snack, love the tartness + a handful of sprouted/dehydrated nuts.
sweet treats/indulgence:
Love raw cake!
My indulgence, really fresh and good oysters.
8) It is the peak of summer! What are your go to summer recipes? Dinner party stand-bys?
Love all the melons in the summer. They can make a delicious cold soup, juice, or even sorbet.
Dinner party stand-by; a vegan curry inspired by Thai food, sauté shallots, add fresh coconut milk and boil with lemongrass and kafir lime leaves. Remove the lemongrass and kafir lime leaves. Add veggies (delicious with water-cress, zucchini) add a few beans, and serve over basmati rice. Pair with a refreshing cucumber and mint salad.
9) Describe your ideal day
One of the great things about having survived cancer; every day is very much ideal :-0)
10) What is your day actually like?
When not traveling: Wake up at 5 am, one hour hike at sunrise with my two dogs, 5 min meditation, in the office by 7:30 am, home by 7 pm and, when I have the energy, 45 min of yoga.
11) How do you deal with the stress of building a brand/international company?
My morning hike is my stress savior. This is how I focus, center myself, make decisions, and create.
Building Odacité is team work. I have the most amazing business partner and a fantastic team. Our main focus is making the best products imaginable, offer the best customer service possible, and the rest organically follows.
12) What or who gives you inspiration?
Nature is my main source of inspiration, and I'm lucky to live in Topanga Canyon. Its enchanted beauty is a daily blessing.
Art is also an important source of inspiration. I'm often in museums or galleries.
13) Where would you like to see Odacité go in the next 5 years?
This year was pretty amazing for Odacité, opening at Nordstrom and Blue Mercury in the US, Colette in Paris, Selfridges in London, and Harvey Nichols in Hong Kong. What makes me happy is to see that a natural indie brand like Odacité is now in demand in circuits which were previously only about big beauty corporations. So if we follow 2015 trajectory, the sky is the limit in 5 years!
Interested in trying out Odacité? Use promo code CrunchyRadM15 for 15% off your next order. Discount valid through August 17th, 2015.
A huge thank you to Valérie and Odacité!

Off the painting table - Shadows Over Camelot/
Board Games - The new King Arthur movie comes out soon and to get in the mood I recommend Shadows Over Camelot. Hidden traitor games are tons of fun to play with friends and this is one of the better ones.
These are painted in a pretty basic metallic with each of the player colors called out on the cloaks. It looks pretty cool with the color carried through on the coat of arms and to avoid any confusion I also included a small band of color around the base.
The faces on these models are pretty terrible, which is sad considering the rest of the model looks really good. It would have been better if the knights all had full helms.

Cook & Brew is a restaurant cum bar at the new Westin Hotel, boasting a panoramic view of our Marina Bay Port from 33rd floor. It currently holds the record for the longest bar table and curates over 70 types of beers from various countries! Impressive collection there and I was surprised to learn that the prices at Cook & Brew were very affordable, considering its supreme location and association with a 5-star hotel.
Indeed a very long bar that spans across half the restaurant space!
Such love for plush leather sofas that exude the British vibes, complete with huge screens – great for football nights!
The entire bar area – definitely spacious and there's even an outdoor smoking area.
Self-service wine machine that is the latest must-have.
Get the feast started and tuck those denim napkins into your shirt!
Those lights.
A very tranquil dining area with tables widely-spaced apart.
Beer Battered Silver Fish w Lemon Aioli ($10) – There was a separate bar bites menu where dishes come in at only $10 or $12! This one that we had was awesome! While the silver fish was extremely crispy on the outside, you could still bite into the fleshy part of the fish – it's not dried out like ikan bilis. Highly addictive, you could easily pop one in every second.
Soft Shell Crab Sliders – Instead of the usual buns, Chinese steamed mini mantous were used. I thought that the slider could do with less vegetables and pickles. The soft shell crab was great, though the bun gets tough within minutes.
Roasted Pumpkin Soup ($11) – A must-order as it was so good that my mum, who doesn't take cream soups and promised to try only one spoonful, decided to go for seconds.
What A Spaghetti [Black mussels, roma tomato sauce, fresh basil leaves, buffalo mozzarella] ($24) – Clearly, pasta is not their specialty. The noodles were overcooked and a tad too salty for my liking.
Honey BBQ Ribs w Sweet Potato Fries ($26) – A wonderful slab of meat glistening in the glory of honey and oil. It was very enjoyable tearing the meat off the bones – done with much ease – and finding that apart from the perfect texture, the seasonings sealed the deal. Furthermore, the chunky sweet potato fries were oh-so-delicious too.
Matso Ginger Beer from Australia [4.2%/330ml] ($12) – Love ginger tea? This one is for you.
Cheeky Rascal Strawberry & Apple Cider – This was my second choice (cos the first ran out) and it was well, alright.
Customised beer sleeves to keep your brew chilled!
As you exit Cook & Brew, don't forget to look down to the amazing lobby!
I can foresee that Cook & Brew will be a popular hangout for after-hours drinks! Great concept, huge array of drink choices, gorgeous views and hearty food.

Bring Abousfian Abdelrazik Home!
Canadian Detained and Tortured with Canadian Complicity Still Stranded
in Sudan
Join the Toronto "Camp Abdelrazik," a day-long vigil at the offices of
Passport Canada
Planning and Working Meeting Thursday, April 23 (location TBA, let us
know if you want to come and we'll get you the details!)
Join us for a nonviolent presence outside the Toronto offices
representing the arm of the Canadian government that is refusing to
bring Mr. Abdelrazik home. The day will be full of theatrical and
colourful displays, including visits from the Wizard of Oz characters
(who know something about helping get someone home) as well as your own
creative ideas.
Abousfian Abdelrazik is a Canadian citizen who was jailed, tortured,
and stranded for six years in the Sudan (at the request of Canadian spy
agency CSIS). Despite being subsequently cleared by the RCMP and CSIS
of any national security allegations, he is still unable to come home.
It's an outrageous situation with serious implications in an age when
undisclosed "national security" considerations trump many rights,
including the right to return to one's country. Further background is
available at (http://www.peoplescommission.org/abdelrazik.php)
Despite the threat of prosecution, many people contributed to a plane
ticket to have Mr. Abdelrazik brought home on the promise from the
federal government that once a ticket was paid for, appropriate travel
documents would be issued. However, they reneged on that promise, now
declaring that Abdelrazik must somehow, from the Canadian embassy in
Sudan, extricate himself from the UN terror watch list, where his name
remains without any justification whatsoever.
Perhaps the only "national security" implication here is further
embarrassment and scandal over the role of this nation's intelligence
agencies in setting up Mr. Abdelrazik who -- like Abdullah Almalki,
Ahmad El Maati, and Muayyed Nureddin, among others -- was targetted for
torture. In all of these cases, it is not only CSIS and the RCMP, but
also Justice Department lawyers and foreign affairs officials, who are
complicit in the torture of Canadian citizens.
On May 7, lawyers for Mr. Abdelrazik will be in court in Ottawa to ask
for a mandatory order to compel the government to bring him back by
"any safe means at its disposal". This is being argued on the basis of
section 6 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which states, "Every
citizen of Canada has the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada."
As a means of keeping public awareness around the issue, we are
organizing of a day-long presence ("Camp Abdelrazik") outside the
Passport Canada office on Victoria Street in downtown Toronto on
Monday, May 4, from 9 am to 5 pm. The idea here would be to have a
theatrical, highly visible presence all day long as we highlight the
upcoming court case and the ongoing abuse of Mr. Abdelrazik's most
basic rights. People can come and go as they are able, and a core group
will stay with the vigil all day long, handing out flyers, pointing
bystanders to a large timeline that we will set up, and dealing with
passersby who are quite numerous throughout the day. We call this a
camp because Mr. Abdelrazik is literally camped out in the Canadian
embassy, sleeping on a cot. (If you have a cot to bring along, the more
the merrier!)
The day will also involve a late morning walk to the offices of the
Department of Justice, with the simple demand that if what some of us
did in purchasing Mr. Abdelrazik's plane ticket was a threat to
national security, we should be charged and, if no charges are
forthcoming, ask how they can continue to justify the detention in
Sudan of Mr. Abdelrazik based on "national security" grounds. Also in
the neighbourhood is spy agency CSIS, whose request to have Mr.
Abdelrazik detained in Sudan began this nightmare six years ago.
In terms of the spirit of the day, Stop Canadian Involvement in Torture
organizes actions on a simple basis of unity that is deeply rooted in
nonviolence: we meet all people -- friends, opponents, police,
government officials, curious bystanders -- with a loving and open
heart, seeking to engage in dialogue, and never willing to humiliate or
disrespect their humanity either verbally or physically. We are angry,
yes, but how we transform that anger into constructive action that
makes us accessible to our opponents is, we find, a crucial part of
getting our message out and building community. For example, despite
the sometimes bossy role that police play at protests, our response is
not to start chanting at or against the police should they cause
problems for us on this day. Our goal is to seek and live out a
transformative spirit that will keep us focused on the issue at hand,
seeking to de-escalate any situation that may arise.
Please let us know if you can make it for some or all of the May 4
vigil (specific times you are available to be there would be helpful).
Can you bring a special banner, play music, work on costumes? If you
can make it to our organizing/ props /banner-making meeting on the
evening of Thursday, April 23, let us know and we'll get you the
location soon.

Wise words from Wes Anderson's film, Rushmore...
Herman Blume: What's the secret, Max?
Max Fischer: The secret?
Herman Blume: Yeah, you seem to have it pretty figured out.
Max Fischer: The secret, I don't know... I guess you've just gotta find something you love to do and then... do it for the rest of your life. For me, it's going to Rushmore.
I spent all day Saturday at Naukabout Festival on Cape Cod watching my friends do what they love: make music and share it with the world. The photograph above is of Danielle Miraglia and her mighty chorus.
This past fall, I decided that I was going to leave my job as a school teacher and dive head first into the world of yoga. Time for a leap of faith. Time to do what I love.
My parents have always been incredibly supportive of me and my slightly less-traditional path in life. So when I first brought up this new plan with them, I was surprised when their reactions were more of concern than excitement. During discussions about my plans, they often brought up how big a deal this was, asking if I really knew what I was doing - what about rent? What about health insurance? What about saving for the future? Can you really make a living off of yoga!? After holding back the adolescent impulse to roll my eyes or fight back, I answered with fearless (and perhaps slightly naive) enthusiasm... "Now is the time in my life to take risks! I don't have children, I don't own a home - its just me! If I don't try now, I'll always regret it!"
(Now I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea here - my parents love that I'm pursuing yoga - they've hired me to teach at their school, and they've both participated in a few of my classes! I'm pretty sure I have the greatest parents in the world... so if you're reading this Mom and Dad - thanks for asking the annoying questions, and thanks for letting me leap anyways!)
Although I still feel the same way - now is the time for me to take this risk - it is way scarier than I could have ever imagined. I knew it would be hard, I knew it would be a lot of work, I knew it would be a slow process.... but I didn't really know.
But now that I'm mid-leap, there's no turning back! And thank goodness... because even though leaving a job with a regular paycheck and health insurance to scrape by teaching yoga for a living is a lot of work and pretty scary, its also the most awesome job I've ever had. =]
I was at a bit of a loss this week as to how to turn this week's blessing into art. I sort of felt like, well I'm already living this blessing - I'm in a new position that excites my heart and fits with the rhythms of my soul. And I'm working my ass off for that position every day! I think I had a bit of a fuck you attitude towards my blog - I felt like, I don't need to make a piece of art this week, my work is my art.
So Sunday morning comes around and I got nothing, zero inspiration. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
While walking through the Davis Flea with some friends, I looked around and saw so many incredible people, all at different places in their own leaps of faith. People watching can be a really inspiring thing!
So I decided to take my people watching to the next level and actually talk to some of the folks I saw. I asked each person the following three questions:
1. What's your name?
2. What do you do?
3. Why do you do what you do?
I interviewed a whole bunch of people and unfortunately because I used my iPhone,
some of the audio is really bad... I'm so sorry if your clip didn't make
it into the mini video!! But here's a quick compilation of the usable clips:
If you're interested in learning more about some of the folks from the video (and the folks whose clips didn't make it into the video!) who are doing what they love down at the Davis Flea and beyond, check out their websites!

If you have not already you must submit your UDID to Roundthird. Before we can send you Radial 50, you must send us the device ID. Instructions for finding your device ID can be found on a previous post here.
Step 1: Install the mobile provision file
A mobile provision file (Radial_50.mobileprovison or CircleK.mobileprovision) is a file that says which devices can run an application. The Radial 50 Demo provisioning file will be provided to you by a Roundthird team member.
To install the file, open the "Applications" window in the iTunes library and drag the file into the large gray window where the applications appear. (You could also drag the file into the LIBRARY mode in the tree view on the left of the iTunes window).
Unfortunately there is no feedback or message that tells you the file was installed successfully. To verify the file was installed, drag it into iTunes again and you'll be prompted with a message box that looks like the following. You can either replace or cancel, it doesn't matter. If you see this message, the mobile provision file was installed correctly.
Step 2: Install the Application.
Along with the .mobileprovision file, we will send the application, this will be in a .zip file. Download the file and then extract the application from the .zip file. On a mac, you will have a .app bundle. On windows, you will have a .app folder. The name of the bundle/folder is called Full20X.app. Drag that bundle or folder into the iTunes Applications window. You should now see the application in iTunes.
The following is an example of dragging the application's .app folder into the Applications iTunes window in XP.
NOTE: Using the default "Extract" operation in Windows Vista does not seem to work correctly. With Vista, the application will appear to unzip correctly, but when installed into iTunes, it shows a warning stating "this application could not be verified" when trying to sync. The workaround we have found to work is extracting the zip with (winzip), and then coping into iTunes. Contact Radial50 if you are unable to resolve this issue.
Step 3: Ensure the application is set to sync
Click on your device within iTunes. Click on the "Applications" tab on the top. Ensure Sync applications is checked and either All applications or Selected applications and Radial 50 is checked for installation.
Step 4: Sync your phone
Hit sync. Wait and see if Radial 50 was installed on your device!

How can employers leverage corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a talent retention tool?
People at every level of business have one thing in common these days — they are expecting more from companies than they used to. The data on this is overwhelming. Sixty-four percent of Millennials consider a company's social and environmental commitments when deciding where to work, and won't take a job if a company doesn't have strong corporate social responsibility (CSR) values.
That means companies that want to attract and retain top-tier talent need to be involved in the world, the country, and the communities around them. One yearly mandated volunteer day or donations from a corporate foundation are no longer enough. Responsible business leadership requires much more than that.
People want to see us offer help when Puerto Rico is decimated by a hurricane or other global crises are in the headlines.
They want us to take courageous stances and have difficult conversations on social issues like race, gun control, and the #MeToo movement.
And they want us to step in when they personally or parts of our community are truly in need.
These kinds of corporate actions add meaning to the work we do and that matters to people. Young employees say they are 5.3 times more likely to stay in a job when they have a strong connection to their employer.
We also build those strong connections when we recognize that people are looking for purpose in what they do every day. Eighty-three percent of employees say finding meaning in their day-to-day work is a top-three priority in their job and our CSR conversation should expand to recognize that.
To help people do work they find meaningful, organization leaders need to have conversations with their employees and ask what matters to them. At PwC, if someone cares about the environment, for instance, we'll try to link them with a project that focuses on sustainability. If they're looking to have an impact through volunteer work in their personal life, our flexibility policies allow them to shift their schedule to make that happen.
We offer paid time so people can volunteer for causes that matter to them and have a platform to spotlight the charities and organizations they are passionate about — helping them build awareness and receive funding from the firm and co-workers.
We also work very hard in our individual markets to make a difference in our communities. Here in Philadelphia, that means focusing on our schools, where many students aren't getting the education they need. As a mother of four, I know that's critically important. So we help equip young people from disadvantaged communities with the financial, technology, and career-selection skills they need to change the trajectory of their lives through an initiative called Access Your Potential.
At its core, CSR is really about connecting with your people so you know what matters to them and then making that a part not just of your corporate philosophy, but of your day-to-day business.
When you do that, top talent not only comes to you…they will be proud to work for you and they will stay.
PwC is a member of the Chamber's Education & Talent Action Team (ETAT), a group of 100+ Chamber members focused on creating clear pathways for the alignment between individuals and employers, while also ensuring that we are training and engaging the region's future leaders. ETAT's steering committee is co-chaired by Deanna Byrne, Philadelphia Office Managing Partner, PwC and Daniel K. Fitzpatrick, CFA, President, Citizens Bank PA/NJ/DE/NY.

Cassie Howard
Cassandra "Cassie" Callison (née Reynolds; formerly Coronal, Carpenter, and Buchanan) is a fictional character on One Life to Live. She is the daughter of Dr. Dorian Lord and musician David "David Renaldi" Reynolds, and adopted by former stepfather and attorney Herb Callison. The role was portrayed for the longest duration by actress Laura Koffman.
Enter CassieEdit
In 1981, a young girl named Cassie Reynolds appeared and soon revealed herself as Dorian's daughter. Dorian had been in medical school when she had given birth to Cassie, whose father David Renaldi had run off with her. Mother and daughter reunited, and Dorian's husband Herb Callison adopted Cassie. In 1985, Cassie became engaged to Rob Coronal, but by 1986 their marriage had ended in divorce. Dorian left Llanview in 1987 (and became the U.S. Ambassador to Mendorra) after discovering that Cassie was having an affair with Dorian's boyfriend, private detective Jon Russell. Cassie and Jon's relationship later fizzled as she reunited with ex-husband Rob.
Cassie lives with a returned Melinda in Dorian's penthouse, but leaves town in 1988. Dorian returns in 1989, followed by Cassie in 1991.
Much to Dorian's chagrin, Cassie becomes involved with Bo Buchanan; Dorian's machinations (and a failed attempt to kill Cassie by Bo's insane ex, Alex Olanov) do not stop the couple from marrying. Immediately after the wedding, however, Bo's presumed-dead wife Sarah Gordon appears, very much alive. An anguished Bo chooses to stay with Cassie, but their marriage later falls apart after Cassie realizes Bo is still in love with Sarah.
In 1993, Cassie marries the Reverend Andrew Carpenter; she later miscarries their son, William. She finds an abandoned baby in the manger outside St. James Church. Beth, the mother of Cassie's foundling, appears but soon dies; her last wish is for Cassie and Andrew to adopt baby River.
After baby William's death, Cassie and Andrew's marriage was never quite the same. Prior to their adopting River, Cassie suffered a mental breakdown, and Andrew nearly fell into an affair with close friend Marty Saybrooke. The Carpenters' marriage seemed to be getting back on even footing as they focused on raising their new son River, but when Cassie went back to work as a journalist at The Banner in 1997, she began a tempestuous working relationship with rival reporter Kevin Buchanan, one that slowly blossomed into mutual passion. Cassie broke her wedding vows and began an affair with Kevin, ruining her marriage and her reputation, even losing custody of River in the ensuing divorce and custody battle. Kevin and Cassie were deeply in love, however, and Kevin risked his life to save Cassie from the inferno that burnt down the Cramer homestead in Canton, Ohio. Meanwhile, Cassie's long-lost father, David Renaldi, returned to Llanview, stricken with ALS, to reconnect with his daughter and new grandson.
Wounded in the fire in Canton, Kevin became enamored of his hospital nurse, Barbara Graham, who developed an obsessive fixation on Kevin after their brief affair went sour. Turning murderous, Barbara attempted to kill Cassie, whom she believed stood in the way of her future with Kevin. Barbara lured Cassie to the docks in the warehouse district of Llanview and attempted to gun her down; instead, she murdered Drew Buchanan and gravely injured Cassie, leaving her paralyzed and using a wheelchair. Eventually, Cassie discovered that Barbara was the shooter, and her rage and fury left her mind once again unhinged. Cassie turned the tables on Barbara, blackmailing her with knowledge of her crime, forcing Barbara to participate in her wedding to Kevin and become Cassie's personal nurse. As Cassie slowly regained the use of her legs, she hid the truth from her friends and family. Finally, Cassie dragged Barbara to a bell tower at gunpoint, attempting to force her to jump to her death. Kevin and Andrew arrived just in time to stop Cassie. Cassie was institutionalized, and Barbara was arrested.
When Kevin and the family visited Cassie, they discovered she had suffered a full psychotic break, believing she was still happily married to Andrew. Andrew and Kevin both attempted to break through to her, to little avail. Cassie's mother, Dorian, had never approved of Cassie and Kevin's relationship, and in early 1999 decided to send Cassie to Switzerland for further treatment. Kevin fought her every step of the way, even stowing away on the private plane bound for Switzerland to try one last time to get through to his wife. In a brief moment of lucidity, Cassie begged Kevin to let her go. Heartbroken, Kevin returned to Llanview and agreed to have his marriage annulled.
Return engagementsEdit
Since her exit in 1999, Cassie had made a series of recurring appearances. In the years since Cassie's departure to Switzerland, it was revealed that she was slowly recovering, and eventually River was even sent out of the country to spend time with his mother. Cassie herself finally reappeared in late 2001, as a guest at Todd and Blair's wedding. Cassie explained that she was almost fully recovered and living in Switzerland, and shared a somewhat awkward reunion with her cousin Kelly, who had since gone on to marry Kevin herself.
Fully recovered, Cassie next returned a year later in late 2002, rushing to Blair's aid after she was apparently attacked by mob hitmen. Cassie believed Blair had been rendered catatonic, and was tasked to take her out of the country. In reality, Todd and Blair had used Cassie to lure away her supposed assailants with the help of a body double, while Blair hid out at Todd's penthouse.
While back in town for Blair, Cassie also recounted her harrowing experiences with Mitch Laurence for Viki and Bo. Nothing could have prepared her for the shock of her life when she returned the following March to see Dorian, only to discover that her mother was marrying the resurrected Mitch - the man who had tried to rape Cassie! Cassie and Blair watched in shock and disgust as Dorian and Mitch took their unholy vows, and gained control of the Lord fortune. Cassie did not yet realize that Dorian was conning Mitch in the hopes of winning his trust and destroying him. Dorian haltingly tried to explain things to her daughter, but Cassie left town in disgust for her new home in Savannah. Later that year, on Mother's Day, Cassie and Dorian made peace after Cassie discovered Dorian and Blair's efforts to murder Mitch. Meanwhile, a now-teenaged River came home from Savannah to spend time with his father and grandmother. During this visit, Cassie also painfully reunited with Kevin and Kelly.
In the fall of 2003, Cassie was part of the Cramers' competition to win "Aunt Betsy's" inheritance, but was immediately disqualified due to her own "lapses in judgment" with Andrew and Kevin. In 2004, Cassie returned, furious about River's relationship with Adriana Colon, his newfound "aunt". She and Adriana eventually made peace, and Cassie returned to Savannah, where she resides to this day. Dorian calls Cassie to warn her about a returned Mitch on February 15, 2010. She then returns to Llanview with her ex-husband, Andrew, in tow and reveals that Melinda has died. Following a short reunion with her mother, sisters and, cousins Cassie returns to Savannah. When Bo and Nora re-marry, it is revealed that Andrew traveled back with her, to visit River.

Kendall, Kylie Jenner named among influential teens of 2014
New York: Reality TV sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner have made it onto Time magazine's most influential teens of 2014.
The sisters have been named on the annual list alongside the youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize recipient Malala Yousafzai, 17, and transgender activist Jazz Jennings, 14.
The young stars were recognised for their business ventures, hosting red carpet events and even publishing their own novel.
"Together, the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' co-stars hosted red-carpet events, released clothing and nail polish lines and even published a dystopian young-adult novel this past summer (though yes, they had some help).
"But they've had solo success too - Kendall with modelling (she's walked the runway for designers like Marc Jacobs) and Kylie with pseudo-entrepreneurship (she's launching a line of hair extensions and hopes to get into acting). Next up: a multimillion-dollar mobile game?," the magazine states.
Also acknowledged on the list is Will Smith's son Jaden, 16.
"His real legacy may well be his Twitter musings, which are equal parts absurdist ('Anything You See In Any Magazine Ever Is Fake.'') and insightful ('Once You Witness A Cycle Enough Times You Step Out Of It.'), earning him more than five million followers and labels like, 'Confucius for the Internet age'," the magazine reads.
Pop star Austin Mahone, singer Lorde, and actress Chloe Grace Moretz are also named amongst this year's most influential teens. PTI

Google releases the Android Distribution numbers once per month to let developers know which OS versions to target, and January's numbers are now available. Not surprisingly, Marshmallow is still on top with 29.7% of the Android pie.
Oreo did make some gains, though. Android 8.1 is making its first appearance with 0.2% of the Android marketplace, while Android 8.0 stayed at the same 0.5% it was at last month. Nougat is still in second place with 26.3%, with Lollipop at 25.1%. KitKat and Jellybean lost marketshare, while Ice Cream Sandwich and Gingerbread are still somehow hanging on.
As we move through CES and into MWC, we'll see more phones announced running Oreo, with last year's devices like the Galaxy S8 and OnePlus 5T getting their updates to Oreo in the next few months. Once that starts happening, Oreo's marketshare will take off.
Which version of Android does your phone have? Let us know down below!

I started taking an acting class this semester just for something to do/trying something new/ meeting new people. I had no idea I would benefit from it this much. When I took theatre in high school, I was way too focused on being nervous about performing in front of people. At 24, that really doesn't bother me any more and I am able to focus on the acting itself. It is incredibly therapeutic. In our day-to-day lives, we spend so much time talking ourselves down from intense emotions that to have to push yourself to feel a particular emotion, especially an unpleasant one, is incredibly difficult. Once you practice enough and do it though, it is so rewarding. Sometimes I like to take hallucinogens as a way to explore my own mind, and I have found this class to be as therapeutic (but in a slightly different way.) Nothing could have prepared me for how intense it was going to be, but I am so glad I threw myself in. It has made me decide I want to pursue it consistently as a hobby, and I definitely recommend that anybody else try it out too.
I know this might sound ridiculous, and this definitely isn't the only thing you should be doing, but whenever I have a breakup with someone, I find it really comforting to remind myself that it is okay to feel this way now and that I'll feel much better in a month, a week, or even a few days, and just need to stick it out a bit.
How is what anybody else in this thread said more hateful than this comic?
Your last comment was interesting to me, although not for the purposes of the original thread. I can understand what you are saying in a more formal setting, but let's say, for example, if there is a school science project or even a group of friends deciding where to go for dinner, and nobody is taking initiative or making any executive decisions. Oftentimes if someone makes a decision, people automatically start taking that person's lead and asking them how they want things to go. Do you object to someone making this type of first move?
Room for one more?
Oh I understand what you are saying now. Thanks for the clarification!
Oh sure. I misinterpreted your sentence but my question still stands. How do non-Europeans have sex in comparison?
As I understand, they have been varied and changing. Many people don't seem to realize this though. Regardless, you can't get an is from an ought.
The problem I have with this article is that, even if I were to agree (which I might, I am not convinced either way) that it makes more sense to explain patterns of irrationality as overall character flaws instead of explaining each idea in terms of the individual situation that led to it... why does it matter? Obviously people believing crazy things matters, but at the end of the day the way to address it is mostly the same. You educate people and address the points they make, regardless of whether or not it was their points that originally persuaded them or simply the people and ideas they were surrounded by. Just calling it a "character flaw" doesn't really seem to help anybody. If anything, is a somewhat defeatist attitude.
What is the alternative to the European perspective? What do you mean when you say "where sex was just something your body could do in certain circumstances)?
Lots of things. The one on my mind right now is the process of cooking a good meal and then eating it, especially alone. Just appreciating all the smells and tastes, making it look perfect. There is so much to enjoy.
There isn't much one can do with this. It asserts that there are certain ways men and women "should" behave without giving any reason for why that is the case. It just appears to assume that the reader will take it all at face value.

Ellen Parlapiano iVillage
Grand Canyon
Northwestern Arizona
Why you've got to go: Do we really need to convince you? It's only one of the most spectacular, iconic sites in America! This great gorge is 277 miles long and 6,000 feet deep in some spots, with rocks that are millions of years old.
What to do: Don't just stand there and stare! Bike along the South Rim (rent wheels from Bright Angel at the visitor center) or hike into the canyon on free ranger-led tours to spot fossils, lizards, and California Condors. For the ride of lifetime, explore by mule, but reserve your 3-hour excursion at least a year in advance.
More info:nps.gov/grca
Yellowstone National Park
Why you've got to go: It's America's very first national park and has the highest concentration of geysers in the world!
What to do: See Old Faithful, which shoots steam sky-high every 90 minutes, and then move on to the other geysers, stinky mud pots and multi-colored hot springs within walking distance (check out the flower-shaped Morning Glory Pool). Yellowstone is also a great place to spot wildlife: Bison, elk, bears, wolves and Bighorn Sheep all hang out here.
More info:nps.gov/yell
Freedom Trail
Why you've got to go: Boston is the birthplace of the American Revolution! Kids will have so much such fun following this 2 ½-mile red-brick road, they won't even realize it's "educational."
What to do: Pick up a self-guided map from any visitors center, and start the trail at Boston Commons (Redcoats camped here), passing Granary Burying Grounds (see graves of John Hancock, Sam Adams and Paul Revere), the Boston Massacre Site, and Paul Revere's House. Tour at your own pace, stopping along the way for lunch at Quincy Market. And don't be afraid to veer off the trail. At the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, kids can reenact the revolt by hurling tethered tea crates into Boston Harbor.
More info:bostonusa.com
The French Quarter
New Orleans
Why you've got to go: The Mardi Gras spirit lasts all year long in this surprisingly family-friendly city.
What to do: There's lots of free PG-rated fun in festive Jackson Square, where magicians, jugglers, mimes and jazz bands make the street their stage. Take in the lively scene from an outside table at Café du Monde, famous for its yummy beignets (warm French doughnuts smothered with powdered sugar). A quick stroll along the Mississippi River leads to the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas (the reef tunnel is amazing) and the Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium (creepy crawly thrills include bug-tasting). Hop the St Charles streetcar to the lovely Garden District and the Audubon Zoo (say hi to the rare white tiger).

Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore
Northwestern Lower Michigan
Why you've got to go: You'll never see sand dunes like these anywhere else! Some are nearly 500 feet high, with jaw-dropping views of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands from the top.
What to do: Climb the dunes, of course! But don't expect kids to walk. Running (or rolling) down these majestic sand mountains is part of the fun. Cool off with a swim at Esch Road Beach -- the pristine Lake Michigan water is brisk but refreshing. There's great kayaking and tubing on the warmer Platte River (gear up with canoemichigan.com).
More info:www.sleepingbeardunes.com
Dinosaur Valley State Park
Glen Rose, Texas
Why you've got to go: It has some of the best-preserved dinosaur tracks in the world! Need we say more?
What to do: Rangers lead track tours through the Paluxy riverbed, best in late summer when water is shallowest. (You will get wet, so wear bathing suits and water shoes). Wade right up to giant footprints made by duck-billed dinos, three-toed meat-eaters and brontosaurus types; then swim in the Blue Hole upstream, where more tracks line the ledge.
More info: www.tpwd.state.tx.us/state-parks/dinosaur-valley
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Why you've got to go: From bayou blues to Beatlemania to heavy metal to hip hop, your budding Bieber or Taylor Swift wannabe will have a blast walking through the halls of rock history. This glass-walled museum is filled with fun memorabilia (view Michael Jackson's sequined glove and a Lady Gaga dress), cool concert films (now playing U2 3D) and interactive exhibits (don headphones to hear interviews and performances). As long as you're all music lovers, there's something here for everyone.
More info:rockhall.com
National Civil Rights Museum
Why you've got to go: Housed in the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, this museum chronicles the civil rights movement—from slave times to present day. Board a replica of Rosa Parks' bus, see lunch counters where sit-ins were held, and view the room and balcony where Dr. King spent his final moments. The exhibitions and introductory film are enlightening and emotional, and guaranteed to spark family discussions about racism and intolerance.
More info:civilrightsmuseum.org
Sanibel & Captiva Islands
Southwest Florida
Why you've got to go: For the most amazing seashell experience you've ever had! Gazillions of them wash up on these Gulf coast barrier islands, which are equally famous for their wildlife. Plus, the water is shallow forever, so it's a great place for little guys!
What to do: Grab a bucket and start shell hunting (just be sure to throw any live ones back). Scout for burrowing ghost crabs -- if you're still enough, you might spot one digging its tunnel. Watch for dolphins right off shore, or see them close up on a Captiva nature cruise. Also visit Sanibel's J. N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, home to alligators, manatees and roseate spoonbills.
More info:www.fortmyers-sanibel.com
Monterey Bay Aquarium
Monterey, California
Why you've got to go: It's located on one of the most gorgeous stretches of California coastline, and showcases local sea creatures and wildlife. Tanks are designed so kids can get this close to sharks, bat rays, sea turtles and more.
What to do: Play peek-a-boo with the adorable otters as they swim, swirl, and do back flips. Join the feeding frenzy as divers serve lunch to the amazing array of fish in the Open Sea and Kelp Forest tanks. Enter the Secret Lives of Seahorses; and get psychedelic at The Jellies Experience, where neon jellyfish float against a black light background. Outside on the deck overlooking the Pacific, you might spot humpbacks, orcas and grey or blue whales cruising by in the open waters.
More info:MontereyBayAquarium.org
Niagra Falls
New York & Ontario, Canada
Why you've got to go: This American landmark has a seriously jaw-dropping view, thanks to the six million cubic feet of water that thunders over the massive falls every minute.
What to do: Bring your passport, so you can view them from the Canadian and American sides; to visit both, just cross Rainbow Bridge. Board the Maid of the Mist (maidofthemist.com) boat from either shore to get right up to the raging water (they give you ponchos so you don't get drenched). By day you'll see rainbows; at night the falls are dramatically lit, and there are fireworks too!
More info:www.niagara-usa.com; www.niagarafallstourism.com
Petrified Forest
Northwestern Arizona
Why you've got to go: You've never seen trees like these! Dating back to the Triassic period, these ancient hunks of trunks have turned to stone.
What to do: Meet up in the Rainbow Forest Museum visitor center for ranger walks along Giant Logs Trail to learn how they got fossilized in the first place. A nearby trail leads to Agate House, a pueblo of petrified wood, built by the Anasazi 1,000 years ago. Drive across the park to see Native American sand paintings (petroglyphs) at Newspaper Rock; then continue to the Painted Desert and its multi-colored striped boulders (especially spectacular at sunset).

Statue of Liberty
New York City
Why you've got to go: Lady Liberty is one of America's most recognizable and enduring symbols of freedom, and Ellis Island was the gateway to a better life for millions of immigrants.
What to do: Ferry over to both for one price. (Purchase tickets online or at the Battery Park terminal). First stop: Liberty Island. Since the Statue is closed for renovations till late 2012, you can't climb inside; but park rangers give free tours around the pedestal and are full of fun facts. Next up: Ellis Island. Walk through the Great Hall, as generations of newcomers did, and search for your ancestors on ship manifests in the American Family Immigration History Center. In the new interactive Ellis Kids exhibit, children explore what it meant to pack up, ship out and fit in.
More info: Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
Disney World
Why you've got to go: You'll never, ever forget the first time your princess-loving little girl catches her first glimpse of the real Ariel or Belle (make sure that smartphone battery is charged!) or watches fireworks explode over Cinderella's Castle. And let's face it: Disney is fun for Mom and Dad, too!
What to do: Spend the bulk of your time in Magic Kingdom, pausing in Town Square Theater for a Fast Pass to greet Mickey Mouse and the Princesses without a long line. Then hightail it to Fantasyland. Though its spiffy makeover is being unveiled in phases from 2012-2014, you can still ride classics, like Dumbo and It's a Small World, along with a newly renovated kids' coaster called The Great Goofini. For more Disney World touring strategies, read our Age-by-Age guide.

Climb Mt. Ranier
West Central Washington State
Why you've got to go: This 14,410-foot-high snow-covered peak has 25 major glaciers. And you don't have to be a mountaineer to scale it.
What to do: In summer, hike on one of the lower gentle family trails that wind through forests and meadows of wildflowers, past waterfalls and glacial lakes. Best bets: Nisqually Vista Trail (in Paradise); Trail of the Shadows (in Longmire); and Grove of the Patriarchs (near Ohanapecosh). Or drive up to Sunrise, elevation 6,400 feet--the highest you can get by vehicle--for jaw-dropping views of the surrounding Cascades. In winter, rangers lead snow-shoe walks for children ages 8 and up.

Pacific Coast Highway Drive
From San Francisco to Los Angeles
Why you've got to go: It's the mother of all road trips, with beyond-gorgeous scenery at every point along the way. Curvy Highway 1 winds along California's craggy coastal cliffs, high above the ocean.
What to do: Take it slow and make lots of stops—whether you conquer the whole thing (allow 4 days) or just tackle small portions. Kids will be wowed by the Santa Cruz Boardwalk (ride the wooden coaster!); Monterey (go kayaking and see the Aquarium); Carmel's Pt. Lobos State Natural Reserve (otters, seal lions and whales hang here); Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park (great hiking and camping); Hearst Castle, in San Simeon, and the elephant seals on the beach just north of it.

What to do: Make advance reservations to get your free tickets to the 9/11 Memorial, which honors those who lost their lives that day. Twin reflecting pools with waterfalls sit in the footprints of the World Trade Center towers, and are surrounded by bronze panels etched with victims' names. An accompanying museum is scheduled to open in September 2012. The memorial is close to Battery Park, where you can catch ferries to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.

South-Central Wisconsin
Why you've got to go: It's the waterpark capital of the world! With 18 indoor/outdoor options and more than 200 splishy splashy slides, your kids will get waterlogged long before they'll get bored.

Or book into one of the wet and wild resorts, like the African-themed Kalahari (the Sahara Sidewinders looping slides literally drop you through the roof) or Mt. Olympus (the Lost City of Atlantis water fortress has slides, geysers and monster dump buckets).

What to do: Stop at the Kilauea Visitor Center first: Pick up maps, check current conditions, and learn how the volcano came to be in the movie "Born of Fire, Born of Sea." Ask if rangers are leading walks, or set out on your own, always sticking to the suggested paths. An easy hike for families is along the Earthquake Trail (Waldron Ledge), with great views of the Kilauea Caldera. Don't miss the Thurston Lava Tube, an underground tunnel where the hot stuff once flowed. (Drive there, then hike in, through a mossy fern forest.) Return to the park at night to see the gorgeous glow from the Halema'uma'u Crater. (Best viewing spot: The Jaggar Museum overlook.)

What to do: Hop on at the main station on Powell & Market Streets (right near Union Square), where both the Powell-Mason and Powell-Hyde lines shuttle you across the city and down to the Bay. Stay on till the end and take in the spectacular views of the water, skyline and Victorian homes en route. Powell-Mason drops you 2 blocks from Fisherman's Wharf. (Check out the sea lions and book a tour boat to Alcatraz). The Powell-Hyde line ends a few blocks away in Ghirardelli Square. (Go ahead and fuel up on some chocolate. You know you want to!)

Oahu, Hawaii
Why you've got to go: Hang ten, dudes—surfing was born here! And Waikiki's gentle rolling waves are perfect for beginners (i.e., your kids).
What to do: Sign up for a lesson at one of the Beach Boys stands, located on the sand in front of the statue of Duke Kahanamoku. (This Hawaiian hero is considered the father of modern surfing). Or try one of the local surf schools, like Big Wave Dave and Girls Who Surf, where instruction is pricier but more personalized. Want to watch pros conquer monster Hawaii Five-0-like waves? Drive up to Oahu's laid-back North Shore: In the winter and spring, the breakers at Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline can exceed 30 feet!

National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum
Cooperstown, New York
Why you've got to go: This shrine to our national pastime scores big with any sports-loving family.
What to do: Pick up a Discovery Tour scavenger hunt as you enter: Kids solve clues as they work their way through the interactive exhibits and artifacts, and get a small gift for turning it in. Have a seat in the Grandstand Theater for "The Baseball Experience," a fun multi-media show about the game's history; and see if you can guess how many baseball cards line the walls. (Spoiler alert: 135,000!) The Sandlot Kids Clubhouse, is designed for younger children, ages 2 -8, and has hands-on experiences and a literacy corner with videos of Hall-of-Famers reading books like Curious George Plays Baseball.
More info:www.baseballhall.org
Why you've got to go: This national park is a scenic superstar: Think thundering waterfalls (best in spring and early summer) and seriously steep granite cliffs (world-class rock climbers scale these beauties).
What to do: Get acclimated by taking the free park shuttle round Yosemite Valley, home to famous sights like Half Dome, El Capitan and Yosemite Falls; hopping on and off as you please. Feeling adventurous? Set aside a half day to hike the Mist Trail alongside majestic Vernal Falls, climbing 600 granite steps to the tippy top. (Pack a waterproof poncho—you will get wet!) If floating down a lazy river is more your speed, go tubing down the calm Merced (rentals at Curry Village).
More info:www.YosemitePark.com
Millenium Park
Why you've got to go: It's an amazing green gathering place, with music, dance, art, family festivals, and wide open spaces for playing—all a walk or el ride from other top Chicago tourist attractions.
What to do: Strike a pose in the reflective Cloud Gate sculpture (affectionately known as the Bean)—it's like a giant funhouse mirror.

Business travel is one of those time consuming business necessities that often leave you feeling tired and falling behind at the office. It doesn't have to be a drudgery though if you know just how to get the most out of your travel time. Here are four easy tips to make business travel both enjoyable and productive.
Take advantage of the Amenities
When booking your hotel for business travel don't simply look at the cost of the room, look at what each hotel offers as far as amenities go, as well as their location in proximity to local attractions. By choosing a hotel that has amenities that you may enjoy and using those said amenities you give yourself something to look forward to. Treat yourself to some room service or a drink by the pool since those are likely things that you cannot have at home.
Schedule in Some Sight Seeing
Just because you are in town on business, doesn't mean that you cannot take an hour or two in order to enjoy the local surroundings and attractions. Not only does doing a little sightseeing give you a much needed break from work, it also provides you with information in regards to the area and town itself, which can actually give you a leg up when strategizing your presentations and sales pitches. It is always good to know your client well, and part of that is knowing about their habitat; plus your client might be impressed that you took the time to learn about the place they call home.
Take Advantage of Downtime
Instead of sitting and staring into space while waiting for flights or commuting long distances by bus, train, or taxi use this down time efficiently; clean out your emails, return phone calls, catch up on correspondence, all of the things that you constantly set aside for later when you are at home, but can't seem to get to because of interruptions and daily schedules. This will make you feel less overwhelmed and more productive so that you can take time to relax and enjoy yourself.
Let your Credit Card or Reward Programs Entertain you
Before leaving on your business trip, check into your point balances and possible locations where those points can be used where you will be traveling to. This is a great way to get in some free entertainment that you might not have previously thought of doing. Or use your points to upgrade at hotels and for airline seating to make your trip a little bit more enjoyable. Simple things like a few inches more leg room can make a trip much more relaxing and enjoyable. This of course will depend on the type of credit card and rewards program that you have.
It is the little things in business travel that will make for having either a good or bad trip experience. That is why it is important to build in a little time for exploration, indulgence, and relaxation. Incorporating several little happy things into each of your business trips will make business travel much more enjoyable and worthwhile.

Play can help guide us through life
This week my five year old son said to me "I don't know what to do with my life". My first reaction was an internal chuckle, followed by surprise and feeling a little sad that already such a question was on his mind.
But there is also something wonderful about being curious of the world. Imagining the roles you may have in your later years. It's natural to question what you are to do with your life. And children play out these roles from a very early age. As well as mimic our everyday activities.
I responded to my son with - "Play!" What do you enjoy playing?
I believe that play is such a simple and natural concept that can bring much happiness into our lives. And in a way, can offer clues as to what elements of play we can perhaps bring into our working life.
Yet our minds, and interactions with others and society have a tendency to confuse and complicate it all. We compare ourselves to others and what they have, thinking we need to have the same, and do the same to accomplish a similar way of living. The term 'keeping up with the Joneses' is a saying most of us are familiar with. Rather than allow curiosity and joy of play guide us, we are often led by the chase of money.
And let's be honest, money is important. We need it to survive. But life is much more than material wealth and possessions. Much more than spending all our time working and being defined by it. I think the question to ask ourselves is, how much money do we actually need to live simply enough, so that we have time to enjoy life outside of our work hours. So we have time for play.
So what is play?
Children naturally do it. They explore their senses and surrounding. They let curiosity guide them - painting with their hands, building block towers and creating cities, making noise with musical instruments, kicking a ball in the yard, pretending to bake cakes and pass around cups of tea. And so on.
So really, children don't need much help when it comes to play. Gentle encouragement and exposure to a sensory rich environment yes. But naturally, they grasp the concept rather well.
How can this continue through to adulthood? Quite easily really.
We can get our hands dirty playing with charcoal or pastels, clear the dining table and put together a model airplane or sailing boat, enrol in piano lessons or simply enjoy listening to classic pianists, call a friend to kick a ball around in the park or go for a sunrise bike ride, follow a passion for baking and make it a weekend ritual to gather for morning tea with family or friends to share a delicious creation.
Through experimenting with different forms of play, we may feel little sparks of excitement and joy. And like a child, we can follow them and allow ourselves to do them more often. Possibly enter a state of flow.
And by being a little creative we could even bring this sense of play into our work life.
For myself, I've always loved taking photos. I remember using those old school disposable cameras on school camps and holidays, documenting our adventures. Of sitting on the living room floor flipping through my parent's photo albums. I'm now a photographer. I remember sitting in the car and using my eyes like I'm filming, changing my focus to the scenes around me as the music played within the car. I'm now creating little films. I would spend hours in my room redecorating it and feeling proud when my mum came home to see that I'd done the same to the living room. I'm now being asked to style friend's homes. And I love to learn about life and write of my discoveries. Simply for the joy of it. So I allow time for it and share reflections within this space.
These forms of play that often stem from the very early years of our life - they can continue into adulthood. They can become a compass of sorts which help to guide us through the course of our life. And just as the path of life takes twists and turns, so too can our interests. And what we enjoy doing for play.
The challenge that many of us find in adulthood is having time for play.
Most of us feel short of time. And quite often will say we don't have time for play. This is when we can look at our routines and schedules and let go of anything that isn't completely necessary. It's when simplifying various areas of our lives and our surroundings can free up time so we do actually have space for play.
Allowing time for play is as important for our wellbeing as eating well is for our health. It can help us feel a great sense of happiness and fulfilment in our everyday life.
So we can ask, "what do I enjoy playing?" It helps to notice the little moments of magic that make us feel alive. And actually allow time in our weekly schedule to enjoy them.
To my son: right now at five years old, you spend hours constructing Duplo cities. You come alive when showing others how fast you can run, or how you can kick a ball. You take great pride in building a train track that runs the perimeter of our home. You love stacking things to great heights. You love dressing up - as Spiderman, Hulk, or a combination of both, and jumping on the trampoline doing tricky moves :) x
