Cracked ice laminate, made new, in four retro colors, has been available all these years. But, it has not always been easy to find. Now, it's easier than ever to get samples and to buy. And, it's high gloss!
Thanks to reader Lis, who tipped me that this Wilsonart-made laminate is now available direct from Wilsonart via their Virtual Design Library. I ordered my 8 x 10″ samples last week, and they came a flash.
All glossy! Oops, I forgot to order the fourth color, grey, so it' snow shown in my photo at the top. But, there's gray too!
The four colors are:
Cracked ice laminate was one of the first designs of laminate ever on the market. I believe that Formica was first out with it, their name was Mother of Pearl. If you are doing a 1940s or 1950s kitchen — a 'mid-century modest' rather than 'mid-century-modern' kitchen, and these fit your color palette, they are a treasure of an option.
Once you examine your samples from Wilsonart and make your choice, order the sheets themselves from Home Depot or another retailer such as Heffron's, which can also fabricate custom countertops for you.
See all of Wilsonart's Retro VDL designs here.
This is just perfect. I have my mother's old dinette table from the 1960's and the top is grey cracked ice…although it has seen many years and is currently damaged, I would love to replace the top with what looks like the original formica. Thank-you for this information…now to hunt for some grey ice chairs, and my mother's set will in use again!
This company has new ones in grey cracked ice, and you can send for color samples:
Lucky you've kept it! My grandma's silver cracked ice dining table enchanted me as a kid. It wasn't just any old table when she had the tablecloth off. Hope you revive it!
What I really want to know is when the Jadeite green and pink cracked ice laminate will be available!
Very nice to know. But there's one detail….In the pics of what I take to be Wilsonart's full sheets, there is an obvious repeat pattern, especially visible in the gray. (find the two rows of "eyes")
I've seen literally countless vintage cracked ice tables, and many vintage counter tops, and never seen such a visible repeat pattern in the vintage laminate. (I even have a partial sheet in green that I spied in the ceiling rafters of a garage at an estate sale.)
So, if you use it on your counter tops, best to tell your installer to pay attention, and not line up a stutter of pattern.
Oh, this would work in a mc/modern too! While not pure in the mcm style, combining it with Danish pieces would look great, imo.
The 1954 house I grew up in had the gray cracked ice counters. It was still in the kitchen when my parents sold the house in 1997.
you're a lifesaver! I have original yellow cracked ice in my cabin and wanted to do a respectful renovation-now I can continue the same countertops into the pantry. Huge thanks-wm
Oh, how fantastic!!! The kitchen in our house had the red crackle ice countertop when we bought it. We couldn't wait to get rid of it when we finally 'remodeled', ten years down the road. Little did I know that ten years after that, I would have a fire and lament every bit of the kitchen and would insist to recreate it to the T (which I did, to what we had we done ourselves). The only thing we had actually changed from the 1963 original was the red crackle ice countertop to the 'Gray Mist' Wison Art. I couldn't work red in my kitchen life. But the yellow one pops out so beautifully and the gray looks positively divine. Thankfully I have two more kitchens to 'play' with… Stay tuned, I think I have found my next project!!!
Light Blue… I need Light Blue cracked ice!!!
Hi would love to see your range of " cracked ice" colours.

"No! Man eat meat! Man need protein!" grunt the critics, beating their chests and tearing chunks out of giant drumsticks.
But the near-constant vitriol only seems to stoke the plant-based fire, so much so that 2019 has been hailed as the year of the vegan by The Economist and Forbes.
The numbers speak for themselves. Over a quarter of Americans between 25 and 34 say they're vegan or vegetarian, an increase of 600% in just six years, and the retail market for plant-based foods is estimated to be worth a staggering $4.5 billion.
While these statistics have their place, it's the first-hand stories about the transformative power of the plant that make the most compelling case for veganism. Patients defying doctors and reversing chronic diseases; athletes at the top of their game and the podium; men and women losing weight and getting a new lease of life after years of hopeless fad diets.
Phuket expat Rebecca Frith has compiled more than 85 of these empowering stories in her self-published book Legends of Change: The unstoppable rise of veganism, launching this month. The book hears from a host of inspiring vegan and plant-based women from around the world, from doctors to Olympians, nutritionists to weightlifters, mothers to activists – all of them female as a reflection and celebration of the movement at large which is spearheaded by women.
Rebecca herself transitioned to a plant-based lifestyle in 2015. After losing her aunt – to whom Legends of Change is lovingly dedicated – to cancer, she vowed not to suffer the same fate and began to heavily research the effects of meat and dairy on the body.
"A turning point for me was [the documentary] What the Health. I felt like I'd been lied to all of my life that we need meat, that we need milk," explains Rebecca over a soy cappuccino. "Going plant-based was an overnight decision."
Four years on, Rebecca feels at the peak of her fitness, health and happiness. Sitting opposite her, it must be said that her energy and blemish-free complexion do not reflect that of a mother-of-two with an overflowing inbox and a book launch imminent…
A criticism often levied against members of the vegan and plant-based community is a propensity for being forceful or pushy. Not Rebecca. She remains modest, burying her own story deep in the book and even omitting her name from the cover of the initial drafts. Her quiet dedication in compiling Legends of Change over the past two years was borne from a genuine desire to spread positive change, to lift up the women at the forefront of the vegan and plant-based movement, as opposed to her own personal bid for the limelight.
"I wanted the book to be something people could gift to others as encouragement or for those difficult conversations. Your non-vegan friends, your sister, your grandma, your colleague, your mum or even the men in your life," explains Rebecca. "When people connect to a story, it's so much more powerful."
Legends of Change is comprised of candid Q&As and closes with a selection of recipes and an index of resources. The short interview format has seen huge success in works such as Timothy Ferriss' Tribe of Mentors and Jack Canfield's Chicken Soup for the Soul and makes for accessible yet impactful reading.
At 429 pages, covering life-changing health, weight loss, activism, experts, athletes, mothers and influencers, the book feels almost bulletproof. Rebecca has cast the net wide to ensure there's a story to get even the most hardened carnivores thinking and questioning.
The book also breaks away from the shock tactics that vegan activists have drawn criticism for. There are no unpleasant surprises here. No graphic descriptions of abattoirs. No guilt-inducing horror stories. Just uplifting and powerful accounts centred on what there is to be gained from adopting a vegan or plant-based lifestyle, not what is being left behind.
Notable names – such as activist and businesswoman Heather Mills, PETA co-founder Ingrid Newkirk and record-breaking marathon runner Fiona Oakes, to name only a few – give credence and weight to the work of this first-time author, too. Heather is even flying in from the UK to speak at the Legends of Change launch here in Phuket on November 22.
"In the early stages, there were weeks when I was only getting one or two stories, and then nothing for weeks after sending hundreds of emails, so getting someone like Heather on board was a huge breakthrough," explains Rebecca.
"But I'm grateful to all of the women in the book. Their online audience combined is about seven million which is key in getting our message out there."
From Phuket to the world, Legends of Change is going global. Let's hope that caves are WiFi enabled and the Neanderthals are on Instagram these days.
Legends of Change is available on www.bookdepository.com (with free international delivery) and www.barnesandnoble.com. The launch will take place on November 22 from 4-7pm at Thanyapura Health & Sports Resort. Tickets must be purchased beforehand through the Facebook event page here.

Gospel Artist Travis Greene On His Musical Inspirations
In this 2017 segment of the Recording Academy's interview series Buzzin', DJ Moonbaby spoke with gospel artist and multiple GRAMMY nominee Travis Greene. The two discussed his 2015 album The Hill, the live album Crossover expected later in 2017, and his decision to perform at the 2017 Presidential Inauguration. He cited Kirk Franklin and Israel Houghton as mentors who answer questions, and called out William McDowell and Mary Mary for also being inspirational influences. But when it comes to his personal favorite GRAMMY moments, that would be seeing Justin Bieber perform, because Greene is a Belieber.

Is this idea contagious or something?
Posted by c. wagner on October 26, 2009
Poll data suck and the sample is small, but the trend shown in a recent poll printed in the Guardian is still disturbing. Apparently, the Brits have caught the creationist bug, too. 54% of respondents said that creationism should be part of the national science curriculum along with evolution. *sigh*
And then I find more polls from the BBC. I'll just let the article summarize itself.
More than half of adults in a survey of 10 countries [Argentina, China, Egypt, Great Britain, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Spain, and the USA] thought school science lessons should teach evolutionary theories alongside creationism.
Read the article from the Guardian.

kind of like military intelligence….let's teach them that God created the world, then the genes took over…

So are you saying you don't think evolutionary theories should be taught alongside creationism?? 🙂

Behold an ancient religion
In a special "Meet the Press" episode dedicated to global warming, NBC's Chuck Todd said he wouldn't indulge anyone who ignored the facts. The host delivered the message on his Sunday broadcast, which opened with footage of the destruction bred by fires and flooding. "We're not going to give time to climate deniers," Todd said. "The science is settled even if political opinion is not."
"We're not going to debate climate change, the existence of it. The Earth is getting hotter and human activity is a major cause. Period." Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, whose interview was hyped well before the program aired, cautioned that any 2020 candidate for the Oval Office "better darn well have a plan" to tackle the environment.
Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Chuck Todd. Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the rebels' hidden fortress.
CO2 is the superest thing on the planet, since it is 0.00038 of air but has magic powers.

This is the twerking video moment a pastor was allegedly caught watching a twerking video in church. Elaborate nail art, like the kind Miley wears now, appears stylish on a white girl but described as ghetto" on a black girl since on the white girl, it's an aesthetic option whereas black girls just do not know any better. These girls are not afraid to get down and dirty with their dance moves and we're so glad angry twerking is a factor.
Get crazy, interact, and most importantly, have Enjoyable with the Totally free Massive Freedia Twerk App, as presented by Oh, and never forget to hit us up with your twerk videos in the comments so we can share some of the finest booty shakers on our blog, and perhaps even with Huge Freedia herself!
Which signifies you can feel free to twerk your way around a bit far more frequently as you happen to be more most likely to get away with it as a comedic act. In the wake of Miley Cyrus twerking for national television audiences in the course of MTV's Video Music Awards final month, the video was a timely release for critics of the dance craze.
But this video will go down with the Russian Twerk School videos, where an unassuming girls walks in, fairly casually, then she just begins going. Discover the basic methods of booty dance utilizing the directions of professional dancers. Lexy covers all the bases- standing, on all fours, squatting and lying down twerking.
Amber and Chyna did reunite for a attractive Instagram photo shoot earlier this year, but they haven't danced collectively on social media in a while. If you loved this post and you would like to get far much more data with regards to twerk dance kindly quit by our site.

Pinning down Nico van der Merwe between southern France and Stellenbosch is near impossible, as he spends nearly half his time at Saxenburgs owners Château Capion. Although transcontinental blends are the name of the game, van der Merwes own labels are purely South African for now. Mas Nicolas (mas is a house in southern France) is his flagship Shiraz/Cabernet Sauvignon blend of 500 cases, with Robert Alexander Shiraz (Nicos brothers name) a competent second label in more commercial quantities. "Making wine is an extension of my work at Saxenburg. I buy in grapes from Stellenbosch to Vredendal, use Saxenburgs cellar, and they do the admin. At the end of the day, we split profits 50/50," explains van der Merwe, but he plans to have his own cellar and vineyards in another 15 years, to make way for owner Adriaan Bührers five children. "Many winemakers stay on farms for years, then resign with nothing to show for it."
Van der Merwe stresses that his wines wont overlap stylistically with Saxenburgs. The 80% new wood is prominent in the unreleased second (2000) vintage of Mas Nicolas smoky blackcurrant, mocha flavours, while the Robert Alexander 99 (still available) shows more classic notes from age and 10 months in second- and third-fill oak.

Both links will take you to a page that has a very important video. I personally cannot stand videos of talks/speeches - they are long, slow, and the speeches take forever to actually provide the information for which I am looking. Yes, I am impatient. As soon as I come across a link to a video, I immediately search around in an attempt to find a text version of the talk. I focus better when I read and I can draw the information that I want from the text much more quickly. In this case, I could not find any text, but I found the video more than worth the time it took and was very glad that I finished it.
Please watch the video. The speaker is quite good. Her name is Rosa Koire. She belongs to a group named Democrats Against UN Agenda 21. (Link above). Her qualifications to speak on this subject amount to being way overqualified. For a living, she appraises the value of properties for which a governing body is planning to exercise Eminent Domain. This requires her to be knowledgeable about everything one can imagine and more concerning zoning regulations and changes to the same, long-term development (or redevelopment) plans for those areas, restrictions, what have you. Quite simply, the woman knows her stuff.
Ms. Koire makes a point of making sure that the viewer/listener is fully aware that she is a Liberal Democrat, a Lesbian, (Adding that she is proud of it) and a person that only fairly recently began reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at events, Upon being asked if she used the "under God" insertion, she stated that she did not and then briefly indicated that her views of the Separation of Church and State fall on the one of the two extreme sides (The other being the position that Christianity was only a half-step away from being a sort of institutional belief) of the intentions of our Founding Fathers. I personally find it quite frustrating that few people are willing to admit that there is a middle ground in this issue. On one hand we have people who treat the mention of God or the general culture of Christan beliefs of ethics of our nation as a sort of virulent contagion, and on the other, an adamant insistence that the US was meant to be a country in which Christianity was to be almost a State religion but without the naming of any one particular Church body as the official one.
I am not particularly crazy about people throwing details out their sexual life in public settings. I hold that it is none of my business what someone does in their private life unless they, in the highly unlikely event, want my opinion. If, I for example, went to go-go joints (For the record, I do not), I would not be informing people of that and certainly would not be proud of it. I do, though think that there was a reason for her statements in her case. The Left has fashioned itself into a coalition of Marxists, Liberal Democrats, Gays and Lesbians, environmentalists, some radical Atheists, and others who stand against much of what are parts of the foundations of our nation. In being as forward as Ms. Koire is in the video, she shows that not all people on the very Liberal side are swarming around those who hold our Rights and Liberties dear and seek to reduce us to a state of utter subjection to the State. All in all, she is a straight-shooter who clearly is desirous of maintaining our Rights and Liberties. So she goes on the Good Guy list.
I could not do justice to the content of her speech, so I will not even attempt to summarize it. She has seen the future firsthand. You will learn about the ICLEI* -International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (She helpfully gives us the pronunciation 'Eye-Clee") She also notes that, while keeping their acronym, they have dropped using the word "international" due to the obvious connotations of that word, and simply gone with the term "Local Governance for Sustainability". She describes the beginnings of Agenda 21, with its introduction at the Rio Summit in 1992** by Maurice Strong, and explains the means by which it was put into place in the US. Most importantly, she details the steps that you can take to combat the spread of this movement in your community.
**Note that in June of this year, there will be another Summit in Rio to mark the 20-year anniversary of the first conference. I expect the Summit to declare that everything is going well and that they will move from the "Soft Law" approach - one in which the plans are more like moral guidelines, to one that provides clear penalties for the failure to comply.
...and one last website. This is associated with Democrats against Agenda 21:

5 Star Rating!
I recently worked with Kelly All to develop a unique exhibit for a large event. She was extremely patient and responsive as we explored many options before settling on a "one of a kind" display. She helped us work through several issues that arose along the way with prompt, courteous service. The final product was truly amazing and well received with several meeting attendees asking for more information about the exhibit. Kelly (and Katie Pearson) go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service.
5 Star Rating!
We couldn't be more pleased! I am so appreciative of you all using your knowledge of the process and creative juices to come up with a sign that not only meets our basic needs but is unique and perfect for its location.
5 Star Rating!
Kelly All was great to work with…very professional, great communicator, quick response time, and very attentive. Their design team and installation teams are equally as good - all were professional and dedicated to producing high quality work. We are extremely pleased with our final product in the new space!
5 Star Rating!
I've been doing work with Image360 long before we started Spoken4 - we started working together when I was working for a local ad agency. The team at Image360 was (and still is) so helpful, when we started the business, it was a no-brainer who to turn to for our signage. They are much more than a typical vendor. They are thought partners, colleagues, and friends. The work is always high quality. Our signage is our main means of marketing Spoken4 and our ad clients, so the quality of production is critical. The relationship we've built with Image360 is one you can only hope to have with other businesses - we trust them with every project, recommend them to other businesses, and look forward to many more years of work together.

Los Alamos National Laboratory (or LANL; previously known at various times as Site Y, Los Alamos Laboratory, and Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory) is a United States Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory, managed and operated by Los Alamos National Security, LLC (LANS), located in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The laboratory is one of the largest science and technology institutions in the world that conducts multidisciplinary research for fields such as national security, outer space, renewable energy, medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing.
It is the largest institution and the largest employer in northern New Mexico with approximately 12,500 LANS employees plus approximately 3,300 contractor personnel. Additionally, there are roughly 120 DOE employees stationed at the laboratory to provide federal oversight of LANL's work and operations. Approximately one-third of the laboratory's technical staff members are physicists, one-fourth are engineers, one-sixth are chemists and materials scientists, and the remainder work in mathematics and computational science, biology, geoscience, and other disciplines. Professional scientists and students also come to Los Alamos as visitors to participate in scientific projects. The staff collaborates with universities and industry in both basic and applied research to develop resources for the future. The annual budget is approximately US$2.2 billion.
Los Alamos is one of two laboratories in the United States where classified work towards the design of nuclear weapons is undertaken. The other, since 1952, is Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The laboratory was founded during World War II as a secret, centralized facility to coordinate the scientific research of the Manhattan Project, the Allied project to develop the first nuclear weapons. The laboratory was officially known as Site Y. In September 1942, the difficulties encountered in conducting preliminary studies on nuclear weapons at universities scattered across the country indicated the need for a laboratory dedicated solely to that purpose. Manhattan Project scientific director J. Robert Oppenheimer, who had spent much time in his youth in the New Mexico area, scouted the area along with General Leslie Groves and physicist Ernest Lawrence, and decided upon the mesa which was once the Los Alamos Ranch School. Oppenheimer became the laboratory's first director.
During the Manhattan Project, Los Alamos hosted thousands of employees in secret (its only mailing address was to a post office box, number 1663, in Santa Fe, New Mexico), including many Nobel Prize-winning scientists.[citation needed] Though its contract with the University of California was initially intended to be temporary,[citation needed] the relationship was maintained long after the war. Until the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, University of California president Robert Sproul did not know what the purpose of the laboratory was and thought it might be producing a "death ray".[citation needed] The only member of the UC administration who knew its true purpose—indeed, the only one who knew its exact physical location—was the Secretary-Treasurer Robert Underhill, who was in charge of wartime contracts and liabilities.[citation needed]
The work of the laboratory, machined by Rudolph Vergoth and George Hackbarth,[2] culminated in the creation of several atomic devices, one of which was used in the first nuclear test near Alamogordo, New Mexico, codenamed "Trinity", on July 16, 1945. The other two were weapons, "Little Boy" and "Fat Man", which were used in the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Laboratory received the Army-Navy 'E' Award for Excellence in production on October 16, 1945.
After the war, Oppenheimer retired from the directorship, and it was taken over by Norris Bradbury, whose initial mission was to make the previously hand-assembled atomic bombs "G.I. proof" so that they could be mass-produced and used without the assistance of highly trained scientists. Many of the original Los Alamos "luminaries" chose to leave the laboratory, and some even became outspoken opponents to the further development of nuclear weapons. During the late-1950s, a number of scientists including Dr. J. Robert "Bob" Beyster left Los Alamos to work for General Atomic (GA) in San Diego.[3]
In the years since the 1940s, Los Alamos was responsible for the development of the hydrogen bomb, and many other variants of nuclear weapons. In 1952, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was founded to act as Los Alamos' "competitor," with the hope that two laboratories for the design of nuclear weapons would spur innovation. Los Alamos and Livermore served as the primary classified laboratories in the U.S. national laboratory system, designing all of the country's nuclear arsenal. Additional work included basic scientific research, particle accelerator development, health physics, and fusion power research as part of Project Sherwood. Many nuclear tests were undertaken in the Marshall Islands and at the Nevada Test Site.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.[4][5]
At the end of the Cold War, both labs went through a process of intense scientific diversification in their research programs to adapt to the changing political conditions that no longer required as much research towards developing new nuclear weapons and has led the lab to increase research for "non-war" science and technology. Los Alamos' nuclear work is currently thought to relate primarily to computer simulations and stockpile stewardship. The development of the Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility will allow complex simulations of nuclear tests to take place without full explosive yields.
The lab has made intense efforts for humanitarian causes through its scientific research in medicine. Three vaccines for the AIDS virus are being tested by lab scientist Bette Korber and her team. "These vaccines might finally deal a lethal blow to the AIDS virus," says Chang-Shung Tung, leader of the Lab's Theoretical Biology and Biophysics group.
There is also development for a safer, more comfortable and accurate test for breast cancer by Lab scientists Lianjie Huang and Kenneth M. Hanson and collaborators. The new technique, called ultrasound-computed tomography (ultrasound CT), uses sound waves to accurately detect small tumors that traditional mammography cannot.
Other research performed at the lab includes developing cheaper, cleaner bio-fuels and advancing scientific understanding around renewable energy.
Non-nuclear national security and defense development is also a priority at the lab. This includes preventing outbreaks of deadly diseases by improving detection tools and the monitoring the effectiveness of the United States' vaccine distribution infrastructure. Additional advancements include the ASPECT airplane that can detect bio threats from the sky.
The laboratory has attracted negative publicity from a number of events. In 1999, Los Alamos scientist Wen Ho Lee was accused of 59 counts of mishandling classified information by downloading nuclear secrets—"weapons codes" used for computer simulations of nuclear weapons tests—to data tapes and removing them from the lab. After ten months in jail, Lee pled guilty to a single count and the other 58 were dismissed with an apology from U.S. District Judge James Parker for his incarceration.[6] Lee was suspected for a time of having shared U.S. nuclear secrets with China, but investigations found this not to be true.[7] In 2000, two computer hard drives containing classified data were announced to have gone missing from a secure area within the laboratory, but were later found behind a photocopier; in 2003, the laboratory's director John Browne, and deputy director, resigned following accusations that they had improperly dismissed two whistleblowers who had alleged widespread theft at the lab. The year 2000 brought additional hardship for the laboratory in the form of the Cerro Grande Fire, a severe forest fire that destroyed several buildings (and employees' homes) and forced the laboratory to close for two weeks.
In July 2004, an inventory of classified weapons data revealed that four hard disk drives were missing: two of the drives were subsequently found to have been improperly moved to a different building, but another two remained unaccounted for. In response, director Peter Nanos shut down large parts of the laboratory and publicly rebuked scientists working there for a lax attitude to security procedures. In the laboratory's August 2004 newsletter he wrote, "This willful flouting of the rules must stop, and I don't care how many people I have to fire to make it stop". Nanos is also quoted as saying, "If I have to restart the laboratory with 10 people, I will". However, a report released in January 2005 found that the drives were in fact an artifact of an inconsistent inventory system: the report concludes that 12 barcodes were issued to a group of disk drives that needed only 10, but the two surplus barcodes nevertheless appeared on a master list. Thus, auditors wrongly concluded that two disks were missing. The report states, "The allegedly missing disks never existed and no compromise of classified material has occurred". This incident is widely reported as contributing to continuing distrust of management at the lab. In May 2005, Nanos stepped down as director.
Continuing efforts to make the laboratory more efficient led the Department of Energy open its contract with the University of California to bids from other vendors in 2003. Though the university and the laboratory had difficult relations many times since their first World War II contract, this was the first time that the university ever had to compete for management of the laboratory. The University of California decided to create a private company with the Bechtel Corporation, Washington Group International, and the BWX Technologies to bid on the contract to operate the laboratory. The UC/Bechtel lead corporation - Los Alamos National Security, LLC (LANS) - was pitted against a team formed by the University of Texas System partnered with Lockheed-Martin. In December 2005, the Department of Energy announced that LANS had won the next seven-year contract to manage and operate the laboratory.
On June 1, 2006, the University of California ended its 60 years of direct involvement in operating Los Alamos National Laboratory, and management control of the laboratory was taken over by Los Alamos National Security, LLC. Approximately 95% of the former 10,000 plus UC employees at LANL were rehired by LANS to continue working at LANL. Other than UC appointing three members to the eleven member board of directors that oversees LANS, UC now has virtually no responsibility or direct involvement in LANL. UC policies and regulations that apply to UC campuses and its two national laboratories in California (Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore) no longer apply to LANL, and the LANL Director no longer reports to the UC Regents or UC Office of the President. Also, LANL employees were removed from the UC's 403(b) retirement savings and defined benefits pension program and placed in a LANS run program. While the LANS retirement program provides rehired UC employees with pensions similar to what UC would have given them, LANS no longer guarantees full pensions to newly hired LANL employees, instead it only provides them with basic 401(k) retirement saving options.
Concern has been voiced about the new contractor's effectiveness in correcting the perceived problems in safety, security and financial management that were cited as the reasons for bidding the contract, and Bechtel's lack of transparency (as a private corporation) and increasing control of national nuclear facilities.[citation needed]
Award of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory contract to LLNS LLC was announced to take effect October 1, 2007, rounding out Bechtel's control of the bulk of the US nuclear weapons facilities including LANL (design), LLNL (design), Savannah River Site(nuclear materials), Hanford Site (nuclear materials), Pantex Plant (assembly/disassembly), and Y-12 National Security Complex (nuclear materials).
With support of the National Science Foundation, LANL operates one of the three National High Magnetic Field Laboratories in conjunction with and located at two other sites Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida and University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida.
Los Alamos National Laboratory is a partner in the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) located in Walnut Creek, California. JGI was founded in 1997 to unite the expertise and resources in genome mapping, DNA sequencing, technology development, and information sciences pioneered at the three genome centers at University of California's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and LANL.
The Integrated Computing Network (ICN) is a multi-security level network at the LANL integrating large host supercomputers,[8] a file server, a batch server, a printer and graphics output server and numerous other general purpose and specialized systems.
The Los Alamos National Laboratory also used to host the arXiv e-print archive. The arXiv is currently operated and funded by Cornell University.
In the recent years, the Laboratory has developed a major research program in systems biology modeling, known at LANL under the name q-bio.

Hello! We make Octopus Deploy.
Our mission is to make deployment time a happy time.
Teams build better software when they can iterate quickly and get feedback from real users, which means deploying changes to production. We also know that production deployments can be complex, risky and scary, which means teams tend to put them off, compounding the problem.
Since starting, we've helped over thousands of software teams to automate their deployments, and to make deployment something teams can look forward to.
Creating happy deployments at more than 25,000 companies, including:
Our story & focus
Octopus Deploy is a bootstrapped, profitable and conservatively-managed company, with a focus on engineering and customer service. Our goal isn't to solve everything related to DevOps, but to focus specifically on being "best-in-class" in the release, deployment and operations parts of DevOps. We hope you'll combine Octopus with other best-in-class solutions to build a world-class DevOps capability.
Octopus Deploy began as a spare time project in 2010, based on our experiences with the difficulty of deploying software and delivering projects when consulting to enterprises and mid-sized companies. Initially, our focus was on deploying .NET applications to Windows-based servers.
As our customers grew, we found ourselves being asked to solve more complex types of deployments, which we've focussed on: we don't think it's a stretch to say that if your deployment is very complicated, Octopus is more likely to be able to solve it elegantly than any other deployment software can.
Recently, we've branched out a little, first into release management - where customers have been asking us for a long time to help solve all of the orchestration and co-ordination problems they face - and more recently into operations, as we saw that many companies were using Octopus not just to deploy software, but to automate all of the steps associated with keeping the software running.
Meet our team
We've built a place where passionate people are given the trust and freedom to do their best work. While we have a small office in Brisbane, Australia, our remote-first approach to work enables our team to work wherever is most productive for them. For most of us, that means working from home. Much of the team is in Australia, but we also welcome teammates from the UK, US and even Argentina.
We're hiring!

Here are the top business, market, and economic stories you should be watching today in the UK, Europe, and abroad:
B&Q sales soar
Shares in B&Q owner Kingfisher (KGF.L) surged to the top of the FTSE 100 after the group reported strong sales since reopening its stores.
Sales across the UK and Ireland surged 25.9% last month and jumped 33% in France, where the company trades as Castorama and Brico Depot. Sales are up almost 20% in the first three weeks of July in the UK and Ireland.
Kingfisher said profits for the first six months of the year would in fact be ahead of last year, despite the pandemic.
However, the company cautioned that "second-half visibility remains low given uncertainty around Covid-19 and the wider economic outlook."
Shares rose 10%.
RBS to change name
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) will today officially change its name to NatWest Group, part of an effort to distance the bank from its troubled financial crisis legacy.
The bank will today make application to Companies House in Edinburgh to officially change its name. Confirmation is expected later on Wednesday.
"This is a historic day for our bank," chief executive Alison Rose said in a statement. "Although there will be no changes to our customer brands, it's a symbolic moment for our colleagues and stakeholders.
"The bank has changed fundamentally over the last decade and now is the right time to align our Group name with the brand under which the majority of our business is delivered."
RBS also announced it had appointed its first ever independent climate advisor, influential economist Lord Nicholas Stern.
Stocks dip
European stocks slipped on Wednesday morning, retreating from strong gains seen in the wake of the EU stimulus deal agreed the day before.
The €750bn (£681bn, $866bn) COVID-19 recovery package agreed by EU leaders on Tuesday (21 July) had sent stocks higher — with the DAX briefly turning positive for the year — but stocks dipped ahead of the close and continued to trade lower when markets reopened on Wednesday morning.
The DAX (^GDAXI) opened down 0.1% in Frankfurt, the CAC 40 (^FCHI) slipped 0.4% in Paris, the FTSE MIB (FTSEMIB.MI) was flat in Milan, and the IBEX 35 (^IBEX) dropped 0.3% in Madrid.
In London, the FTSE 100 (^FTSE) opened down 0.2%.
Sentiment wasn't helped by a weak session in Asia overnight, driven by renewed fears about a COVID-19 flare-up in the region.
Tokyo continues to report rising cases, with over 1,600 in the past week, and the Australian state of Victoria recorded 484 new cases in the last 24 hours, a new national record. Hong Kong announced 61 cases and 14 new deaths in the last 24 hours.
Japan's Nikkei (^N225) dropped 0.5%, the Hong Kong Hang Seng (^HSI) slipped 0.3%, and Australia's ASX 200 (^AXJO) fell 1.3%.
In China, the Shanghai Composite (000001.SS) rose 0.3% and the Shenzen Component (399001.SZ) gained 0.9%.
Wall Street looked set to open marginally higher as lawmakers there continue to debate an additional dose of stimulus. S&P 500 futures (ES=F) were up 0.1%, Dow Jones futures (YM=F) were 0.3% higher, and Nasdaq futures (NQ=F) climbed 0.1%.
Gold and silver rally
Gold and silver prices rallied strongly on Wednesday.
Gold (GC=F) was up 0.4% to $1,851.00 per ounce on Wednesday morning, having touched a 9-year-high earlier in the session and remaining close to record highs.
Neil Wilson, chief market analyst at Markets.com, said the rally was a defensive play by investors looking to preserve their wealth in the face of low interest rates and a looming global recession.
"The way interest rates are looking combined with the macro backdrop and the threat of an inflation surge caused by the amount of aggressive monetary and fiscal stimulus, means gold may end the year at $2,000," he said.
Silver (SI=F), meanwhile, also rose. The precious metal jumped 2.5% to $22.11 per ounce.
The rise in precious metal prices pushed mining companies higher. Fresnillo (FRES.L), the world's largest producer of silver from ore, jumped 6.5% on the FTSE 100 and Polymetal International (POLY.L) rose 2.5%.
Dollar under pressure
The rally for precious metals was helped by weakness in the US dollar, which is often seen as a haven for international investors.
The dollar slipped against almost all major currencies overnight, with analysts pointing to a downbeat assessment of the COVID-19 pandemic from US president Donald Trump.
"The dollar came under pressure yesterday," said Conor Beakey, an economist at AIB. "The greenback may have been held back by concerns over the US macro outlook. President Trump yesterday stated the Covid situation will get worse before it gets better. Meantime, the euro was also generally holding a firmer tone."
The dollar was fighting back in early trade on Wednesday. The US currency was up 0.5% against the pound to £0.79 (USD/GBP=X) and flat against the euro at €0.86 (EUR=X)
However, the greenback remains down 2.5% against the euro over the last month and down 2% against the pound.
Melrose sales slump
Manufacturing turnaround specialist Melrose Industries (MRO.L) slumped to the bottom of the FTSE 100 after warning on weak income and saying it will not pay a dividend.
Melrose said in a trading statement that revenue fell 27% in the first half of the year after the pandemic forced the closure of many of its factories.
"This has been an extraordinary period which has needed our management teams and employees to carry out difficult actions with speed and determination," chief executive Simon Peckham said.
"For this year the focus is on cost control and cash generation, but we have protected investment in innovation for the future. Whilst timetables will have been affected, we remain confident that our businesses will adapt and produce good returns for our shareholders."
Shares dropped 14%.

Accelerating in situ remediation of mined land
Funding source: International Aluminium Institute, UWA-UQ Bilateral Research Collaboration Award
Minimising the impact of mineral extraction processes and their waste is essential for the mining industry to sustain its $200 billion contribution to the Australian economy without causing irreparable damage to the environment.
A major challenge for the industry – in Australia and overseas – is to find an efficient balance between production methods that extract value now and remediation strategies that will return mined land to productive ecosystems again as soon as possible.
Strategies for accelerating soil formation and in situ remediation combine chemical, physical, and biological treatments to shift the extreme properties of wastes towards values more commonly observed in natural systems. However, without targeted remediation efforts, mine wastes and tailings require long timeframes before they can support microbial and plant life, and be returned to a safe, productive land use.
Research efforts to date have involved field work and laboratory experiments to examine the factors controlling remediation progress in mine waste and tailings storage facilities.
UQ researcher Dr Talitha Santini and her colleagues are determined to identify novel methods for accelerating the remediation with less residual risk to surrounding environments over the long term.
"The harsh chemical and physical processing of mineral extraction generates enormous volumes of mine wastes and tailings with unusual properties compared to common soil materials," explains Dr Santini.
"We propose that by accelerating in situ remediation, and therefore reducing the timeframe required to close mine wastes and tailings storage facilities, the overall environmental impact will decrease and the land can be developed for an alternative use much sooner."

A man has a beer and is featured in TV commercials. He's cool, he's "one of the guys." But time and time again, women are called out, shamed, and even blamed for the behavior of others for doing the same thing.
In 2013, Hong Kong Security Secretary Lai Tung-kwok appealed to young ladies to stop drinking too much because of the increase in rape cases. The Missoula Montana Police Department has a history of blaming rape victims for alcohol use, and Crimewatch creator Nick Ross suggested that "not all rape is rape" when the victim is drunk. Now, the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC) has released this infographic in their monthly Vital Signs report.
The CDC infographic intends to prevent fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). As the CDC states, "alcohol use during pregnancy, even within the first few weeks and before a woman knows she is pregnant, can cause lasting physical, behavioral, and intellectual disabilities that can last for a child's lifetime."
Understanding the harmful effects of alcohol during pregnancy and even the time in which you are trying to get pregnant is important, but, to me, the infographic suggested even more.
It warned women that "drinking too much" can lead to violence, illnesses, STIs, and unplanned pregnancies. Can men not also experience violence, illnesses, STIs, and unplanned pregnancies if they drink too much? Where is the caution poster that reads: Drinking too much can have many risks for men? This is a clear double standard where women are warned for a behavior that also causes harm to men.
While I respect the good intentions in seeking to prevent FASDs, I am outraged by the suggestion, yet again, that women are responsible for the actions of others. Rather than emphasizing that the decreased control alcohol induces could potentially lead to negative outcomes, this poster implies that because women drink, they get pregnant or experience violence – forgetting the other individuals involved, who may also have been drinking.
This infographic lends itself to a wide collection of victim-blaming propaganda that suggest women should not dress "provocatively" or walk alone at night, or blame women for the violence and sexual assault they experience. Women should not be told their actions are the reason someone else acted upon them.
We should not have to tell women to be more careful, but we do, and in doing so we put the burden on them to not be assaulted – because if they are, it's somehow their fault. Perhaps instead of cautioning women rather than perpetrators, this infographic should be added to a growing collection of measures we take to highlight how prevalent violence against women is and how everyone – men and women alike – can end and prevent violence against women.
Next time, CDC, I highly suggest creating two campaigns – one about the negative relationship between drinking and pregnancy and another that warns all people about the potential harmful effects of drinking. To warn women about a harmful behavior without similarly warning men is a ridiculous and unacceptable double standard.

Harvest: Petit Pois
Friday, 19. June 2009 16:37
Petit pois. Peas
Joe walks into the kitchen: Whatcha doing? Hucking peas?
Me: I think the word is shucking.
Joe pauses and then says: You know, I got hit on the head pretty hard the other day, too.
Me: Yes, I know.
The day after I told my friends on Facebook that I thought I'd be eating lots of frozen food in the near future — thanks to Joe's injury — instead found me in the kitchen shucking peas. I had been able to harvest about half of the peas called for in a Quiche aux Petit Pois recipe. And as soon as I harvested the peas, all of my pea plants died. So, if I didn't use these, then I wouldn't have been able to eat any of the peas from my garden. I purchased the rest of the peas needed and made this.
Aside from the time it took to shuck the peas, it was pretty easy to do since I had a premade crust. Joe's getting more mobile every day, although still tired and in pain. He's able to watch the kids a bit while I cook, so hopefully we won't be eating as much frozen food as I had anticipated.

When Dana is invited to Faerie to be officially presented at the Seelie Court, it's no easy decision. After all, everyone knows Titania, the Seelie Queen, wants her dead. But Titania claims not to be the one behind the death threats; and her son, Prince Henry, makes the decision a whole lot easier when he suggests Dana might be arrested for (supposedly) conspiring with her aunt Grace to usurp the Seelie throne. So she and her father better do as they're told . . .
The journey through Faerie is long—and treacherous. Dana thought it would be a good idea to have friends along, but her sort-of-boyfriend, Ethan, and her bodyguard's son, Keane, just can't seem to get along, and Kimber's crush on Keane isn't making things any easier. When a violent attack separates Dana from their caravan, the sexy Erlking saves her just in the nick of time . . . and makes it clear that he hasn't given up on making her his own.
Arriving at Titania's beautiful palace should be a relief. But Dana is soon implicated in an assassination attempt against Titania's granddaughter, and is suddenly a fugitive, forced to leave her father behind as she and her friends flee for their lives. Will she be able to prove her innocence before the forces of the Seelie Court—or, worse, the Erlking—catch up with her? And will she save her father before he pays the ultimate price in her stead?
My Review:
This was a pretty fantastic ending to the series! Sure, there's things that I want to know, and I want to spend more time in this world, but yeah, this was a really great book to end the series! I just enjoyed it so much!
Loved the relationships that have been developing, some since the very beginning of the series, and how they ended up! There were a lot of complications, the characters sometimes fought their feelings, but yeah, there were happy endings, like Kimber, and I really loved that!
The mystery of who was behind everything, who was manipulating things, and causing all this trouble for Dana and crew, well, yeah, that was a part of this book that I was really interested in, because it was causing a lot of conflict! Really enjoyed how that wrapped up!
So something that we're missing because we're not going to get another book, is who is going to be the next consul. Which sucks, but oh, well. What happened to the mom, well, yeah, that sucked. But then there were other happy bits!
Really, really fantastic book, I just enjoyed it so much, and I can't wait to read more by Jenna Black!

One of the many dark shades of corporate work culture is the conflict between coworkers. It can really become violent at times and culminate in personal attacks. Apart from personal setbacks, it can also affect group morale and that is a curse that every manager is afraid of. Resolving conflict between coworkers can be very tricky, but also a very satisfactory job. It alleviates the general vibe of the company and workers. If such conflicts are not resolved, the work environment becomes drab and people work like machines without any innovative touch and cheerful delivery. Tension among colleagues casts its shadow on bonding between group members and therefore work. In fact, conflicts can sometimes come to such a pass that employees get divided into two groups. It may even result in the firing of employees. However, such conflicts can be resolved with a bit of patience and by catching the bull by the horns.
Intervene Sooner, Rather Than Later
Time alone rarely solves conflicts, you need more. Managers need to act early banking on a set of clear expectations from individual employees or groups of employees. Sometimes managers do try to avoid dealing with conflict between coworkers since it is usually uncomfortable. They are often not prepared for the job.
Meet both of Them
Meeting both concerned employees together is a better way of dealing with conflict between coworkers than having separate meetings. Separate meetings have the potential to create more distrust. Conflict can be resolved only when either trust builds up between the colleagues or between each of them individually and the manager.
Creating a Positive Vibe
A positive start to the conflict resolution meeting can be made by asking each of the angry employees to share something valuable about his colleague with whom he is in conflict. This has the potential to make the warring parties recoil from their attacking stance and try to figure out something positive in his colleague. This has the innate effect of soothing the nerves and calming down.
Reduce Tension by Relaxing and Deep Breathing
You have to create a positive vibe in the meeting arena for which you need to reduce tension. This can be done by relaxing and requesting both the warring parties to relax. Ask them to take deep breaths and relax so that they can sooth their tensed nerves and calm down. All these may be difficult to do. However, you can make it happen with attentive expressions and confident manners.
Careful Listening Is Half the Battle Won
Listening to what the warring colleagues have to say is key to starting a good conflict resolution endeavor. Jumping into their conversation without listening to what they have to say is not a good idea. Emphasis has to be put on employees themselves since it is they who can beget a solution; you are just a facilitator. Standing face to face and discussing the incidents can lead to resolution of misunderstanding and conflict between coworkers. It is at this moment that you should step in when you feel that there is a misunderstanding and the colleagues are amenable to mending their mistrust for each other.
These are some of the ways to resolve conflicts between coworkers. Hope these pointers will help you to resolve the conflict between coworkers in the workplace.

Networking with Lawyers
It's a challenging job market in the legal profession. However, this does not mean that you can't find a job. You just have to set yourself above the competition by learning how to rise above the crowd. You do this through appropriate networking, which will give you the contacts you need to know where the best jobs are and who may be interested in hiring you. There are a variety of ways to network within the legal profession, and not all of them involve talking to people face-to-face. Here are the correct ways to network for success in the legal industry in the 21st century.
1. Build Up Your Social Media Profiles
Social media is pretty much a "must" in making connections within any industry these days, and the legal industry is no different. You just have to be selective about what platforms you use and how you use them to reach out to people in the profession.
Having a LinkedIn profile is an absolute necessity. Here, you can display your resume and credentials, make relevant posts about the profession that display your knowledge and expertise, and collect endorsements from people who know your work, such as former employers, co-workers, law professors, and even fellow students from law school.
These endorsements can lead to connections, and the more connections you make on LinkedIn, the more connections you're likely to make from the networks of your connections. You will be perfectly poised to hear about any job openings in your dream law firms before those jobs are even advertised publicly. In the legal profession, you will find that a stand-out LinkedIn profile will open up more doors for you than a pristine-looking resume sent out randomly to law firms.
You can also use Facebook and Twitter to reach out to key people at law firms where you're interested in working. However, you should always point them back to your LinkedIn profile, so they can see you have a professional presence online. Be active in making posts about the industry on LinkedIn, even if you're just summarizing cases. These posts can act as your blog and display your knowledge of certain areas of law to potential employers.
2. Engage With People You Already Know
Keep current with your existing contacts in the legal profession. Does your law school have alumni events? Go to them. Be friendly and social with the people there, but also use these events as an opportunity to get the inside scoop on who is hiring and talk about why you would be a good candidate. Work it naturally into the conversation, so you don't seem too self-promotional. You never know who is an associate or partner at a law firm you admire, or who has contacts at a firm where you would love to work.
Reach out to former co-workers, too. Invite them to lunch or to have drinks after dinner. Talk about what's been going on at your old law firm and ask what they know about shake-ups at other firms. Mix it in naturally with other topics of conversation, and be sure to exchange contact information. You may come away with excellent details on who is hiring, or even get an "in" with an interview you could not have gotten on your own. Even if your co-worker knows nothing now, stay in touch with the occasional email to see if any new information has crossed their path.

There has been heated discussion in the United States as to how to respond
to the challenge. While glasnost has diminished the perception of threat
from the Soviet Union, the question remains of how to accommodate the interests
of the U.S.S.R., itself an Asian-Pacific power with a rightful place in
the region, to the interests of the hemisphere as a whole. Additionally,
the states of the Asian-Pacific region are experiencing frictions related
to trade imbalances and disruptive population flows. There have been violent
clashes over the degree and speed of democratimton, and ongoing difficulties
concerning issues of unresolved sovereignty. In this volume, ten acknowledged
experts in their fields examine the challenges and opportunities for the
United States in the Asian-Pacific in the years to come. Among the issues
considered are the elements of a prudent stance for the U.S. with regard
to the new Sino-Soviet relationship, how to deal with the "two Chinas"
issue, the consequences of America's present policy toward Japan, when
and under what circumstances to establish formal diplomatic relations with
Vietnam, how to repair the damaged ANZUS alliance and deal with the explosive
issue of American military bases abroad, and how America's damaged prestige
in the South Pacific might
be restored.

Heart detective dating

As a police officer, he was happily assigned to his home borough: the notorious 41st precinct, fittingly called "Fort Apache." The neighborhood was something of an amusement park for depraved criminals. It was the like the Wild West, but 10 times worse," said Friedman, who even investigated his own mother's mugging and went after a mobster's son who shot and wounded his brother Stu, a transit cop. While driving home with a date, he heard two gunshots, and two guys fell on the hood of his car at 105th Street and First Avenue.
Shootings, robberies and arson were daily fare, and drug dealing could have been considered the official sport of the burned-out hood. One had been stabbed and the other had been shot and stabbed.
But, before they entered, a very nervous Fernandez — who wasn't exactly a Boy Scout himself — whipped out a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson snub-nosed revolver.
"Nice f - - king gun," he quipped, letting Friedman know he could protect himself.
In 1975, the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan was bombed by Puerto Rican terrorist group FALN, killing four and injuring 43.Then 34, he was heavily sedated for two weeks, and doctors said he only survived because he was in such pristine physical shape. I can't move an inch in any direction without feeling a tremendous amount of pain. Friedman took years to fully recover and slowly eased into civilian life. I've seen people with their arms cut off, legs cut off, body parts. I could go out and eat pizza after all of this," said Friedman, who now spends most of his days working on home-improvement projects. It was devastating." Adding insult to injury, he was seeing seven women — all of whom showed up at the hospital. But on closer inspection, I realized that I'd been dating these women concurrently over the last year, and they all picked the same time to visit me," said Friedman. "She must have had a good sense of humor." She moved in with Friedman and helped him recover. Ralph Friedman has taken more than a few bad guys off the street.
The former NYPD detective has arrested more than 2,000 criminals.And he earned the Combat Cross, the department's second-highest honor, for shooting dead a deranged man who shot a teenager for calling him a "cheap bastard." In his book, Friedman reflects on the bygone era, which could be both frustrating and freewheeling.
