Mason-Draffen, a business reporter, writes a column about workplace issues.
DEAR CARRIE: Does an employer have to provide clean break areas for employees? Our break area is always riddled with flies, litter and debris. Many employees who have given up just leave the building for lunch. Is it too much to expect a clean eating area? -- Bad Housekeeping
DEAR BAD: Legally, you should have a clean lunch area, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the federal agency that polices workplaces for health and safety issues.
Latest columns
"We have a standard for housekeeping," said Anthony Ciuffo, who heads OSHA's Long Island office, which is in Westbury. "All places of employment, passageways, storerooms and service rooms shall be kept clean and orderly and in a sanitary condition," said Ciuffo, quoting OSHA regulations.
What's more, he said companies must try to prevent unsanitary problems in the first place. He quoted the following regulation:
"Every enclosed workplace shall be so constructed, equipped and maintained, so as far as reasonably practicable, as to prevent the entrance or harborage of rodents, insects and other vermin. A continuing and effective extermination program shall be instituted when their presence is detected."
Ciuffo says his office often receives complaints like yours. If you need more information, contact OSHA at 516-334-3344.
DEAR CARRIE: I work in a company with fewer than 10 employees. Before coming on board, I was promised medical coverage. Six months later, I am still not insured. When I asked the owner why, he said the company cannot afford the expense. All other employees are covered. For the record, I am a full-time managerial employee. Do I have any recourse? -- Zero Benefits
DEAR ZERO: Whether you have any recourse depends on the terms of your employment, said attorney Michael J. Borrelli of Borrelli & Associates in Great Neck.
"If the employee and the employer have an oral agreement for employment that can be performed in one year or less and the health benefits were part of the oral agreement, then the employee has a valid claim for breach of contract," Borrelli said.
On the other hand, longer employment could pose a problem. "If the employment was open-ended or for more than a year and not in writing, then the employee's claim is defeated," he said.
You would lose out in that instance because of something known as the "statute of frauds," Borrelli said. To seek recourse under that statute, you would have to have a written contract for services if they cannot be completed within one year, he said.
"Should there be a breach by either party, the opposing party may raise the [statute of frauds] as a defense and essentially invalidate the agreement," he said. "The [statute of frauds] is satisfied if there is [something written] and it is signed by the party that it is being enforced against."
So in that case unless you have something in writing and your employer has signed it, you may have no recourse.
Here's something more promising to ponder: If, as you stated, you're the only employee without benefits, that could prove problematic for your employer, Borrelli said.
If the employer's health benefits plan is a group plan under which "all similarly situated employees" receive health benefits, the employee may file a "discrimination claim because the employer cannot arbitrarily pick and chose which members of a class of employees receive benefits," Borrelli said.
You would file such a claim under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or ERISA.

TORONTO BlackBerry Ltd (BBRY.O)(BB.TO) has received a coveted security clearance that paves the way for U.S. government agencies to use its systems to manage and secure Android- and iOS-powered devices operating on their internal networks, the smartphone maker said on Wednesday.
The company's Secure Work Space offering now has Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 certification.
Secure Work Space fences off corporate email, calendar, contacts, tasks, memos, browsing and document editing from personal apps and content on smartphone and tablet devices that run on either Apple Inc's (AAPL.O) iOS platform and Google Inc's (GOOG.O) market-dominating Android operating system.
The system, introduced last year, could mean BlackBerry can sell its high-margin services to large, security-conscious government and corporate clients even if many or all of their employees are using smartphones made by the company's competitors.
Secure Work Space allows IT administrators to configure, secure, or wipe sensitive data from devices, while also giving employees the freedom to enjoy them by loading games and external applications for personal use.
The system runs on BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, the platform that allows the company's corporate and government clients to manage devices on their internal networks.
Shares of BlackBerry were down 11 Canadian cents at C$10.33 in midday trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

J. K. Rowling Just Can't Let Harry Potter Go [The New York Times] J. K. Rowling always said that the seventh Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," would be the last in the series, and so far she has kept to her word. But though she's written many new things in the intervening nine years, including four adult novels, she's never been able to put Harry to rest, or to leave him alone. [more inside]
"This is the literature of Louisiana."
Patter and Patois by Walter Mosley [New York Times] Walter Mosley writes about his relationship to the literature of Louisiana.
"Louisiana flowed in that blood and across those tongues. Louisiana — a state made famous by Walt Whitman and Tennessee Williams, Ernest Gaines and Arna Bontemps, Kate Chopin and Anne Rice. These writers, from many eras, races and genres, took the voices of the people and distilled them into the passionate, almost desperate, stories that opened readers to a new kind of suffering and exultation."

His wife, Kay Eldredge, confirmed his death, saying he had been at a physical therapy session. He lived in Bridgehampton, N.Y.

Life is a series of surprises. We cannot guess the mood, the pleasure or the
power of tomorrow.
In Manhattan, I had heard from a renowed researcher about the Chang family in Panama and how their grandfather was sold in Shanghai and brought to Panama to be the son of a childess Chinese couple.
The family spoke Chinese, yet each one learned to speak Spanish all in Concepcion, a small intact Spanish village in the interior of Panama.
Would I finally be able to master the language myself?
From Newark airport, a mere 5 hours later, I arrived in Panama to meet with
Don Gustavo Chang and his wife, Tammy Liu.
Yes, I have studied Spanish not only in high school but at the University and many other times at the very best and fanciest schools in the world. Do I speak Spanish? No. Would I ever get down to business and learn? Yes, if I could learn the language the way that Gustavo did when he arrived from Hong Kong. He would show me his method and what I was to experience and how and why I would learn it in Concepcion.
Don Gustavo is an exceptional man, as is obvious if you listen to what he says. His eyes makes estates, as fast as the sun breeds clouds. There is always room for a man of force, and he makes room for many. Society is a troop of thinkers, and best heads among them take the best places. like a cat, fell on hi And a man like Don Gustavo anywhere in this world is worth a million of the city men I left behind in my home in Manhattan.
After overnighting in Panama City, we flew to David, the capital of an interior provence of Chiriqui. From there we were picked up and drove another 30 minutes into the village Concepcion.
I asked what my address would be while I was in the village, and I was told it will be the house of Don Gustavo.
No other information would be needed.
So when we arrived, I was driven into a beautiful home he had built himself equiped with all the comforts of life and more. His world was one of music played on a baby grand piano, and a lush landscape of coconut and fruit trees, thick green grass, orchids, and tennis courts. How alive and beautiful everything is here in contrast to the grey concrete of Manhattan and the inhumane people who reside there.
At night, the shutters on the windows were opened as it is humid and wet during rainy season. As I laid down to sleep, I heard dog?s barking, the insects singing and the roosters crowing.
So natural and finally I am experiencing real life in the tropics of Panama. I felt at home and at peace in the arms of Don Gustavo's home.
In the morning, I was to meet Jaquline, the maid who would be taking care of the cooking and the household. She greeted me in their large kitchen and this was the beginning of my learning Spanish. At the end of breakfast, I already knew 10 words.
As the hours turned into days, I adjusted to the life in the village. Each day I met the baker, a teacher, the fisherman, the sugarcane juice man, etc. and all without a car because everything is in walking distance. When I found out their was no ice cream store, I was told it was because they sold 2 scoops of homemade ice cream for $.25. If I wanted to have a conversation the entire village was their to help me. I cannot beleive I am really learning Spanish.
this is a work in progress, I am not finished.
- Pros:Relaxing & educational vacation from modern city life.
- Cons:interior locaton. Requires time & money to get there
- In a nutshell:Relaxing break from modern life with a change for learning

Elizabeth, Nice pages on the highlands.

GREAT! The place, the coulors, the photos!
this is indeed one of the best imagineable ways to learn a new language.
My brother used to live in Chiriqui provence. Wish that I spoke Spanish much better.

New London - An out-of-service sprinkler system at Harbor School led the fire marshal this week to deem the building unfit for occupancy and has revealed confusion over the district administration's plan to house a student services program at the school.
Last month, Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer announced that High Road, a program for students in grades six through 12 who have emotional disabilities, will move from Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School to Harbor School as soon as renovations to the more-than-100-year-old building are completed.
Those renovations will be paid for by the High Road program and are expected to be completed by November, Fischer said. Harbor School has been vacant since June 30.
But city Fire Marshal Calvin B. Darrow discovered problems with the school's sprinkler system Wednesday during a walk-through of the facility on Montauk Avenue, and further issues were identified Thursday.
"...When the contractor examined the sprinkler system the pipes were found to be blocked by debris and the dry valve was not operating. This system is out of service until further notice," Darrow wrote Thursday in an email to several city departments and employees, including Fischer. "This building shall not be occupied by the public at any time."
Darrow wrote that the city must "start immediate repairs and restore the system to its original integrity." He could not be reached Friday.
"The fire marshal said that he had concerns about the sprinkler system that would need to be cleared up," Fischer said. "There are some issues with the pipes there that frankly don't sound major but need to be addressed before we come back into the building."
Fischer said no program will use the school until the entire facility is up to code. The repairs will be paid for by High Road, a for-profit educational services company, and will not delay the program's transition.
But Margaret Mary Curtin, chairwoman of the Board of Education, said she is opposed to moving the High Road program to Harbor School and does not recall the Board of Education voting to approve the move.
"Quite frankly, I think it is the wrong move at the wrong time," Curtin said. "I think it really is coming down from the state. I know that Dr. [Steven] Adamowski has been involved in it. I'm not sure we made a formal vote on it."
Adamowski, the state-appointed special master in charge of overseeing the New London schools, said that in approving the district's strategic operating plan in June, the board charged the administration with returning outplaced students with special needs to the district. Currently, the district spends about $6.8 million annually in out-of-district placements, he said.
"We have an item in the strategic operating plan, which the board has already adopted, that sets this direction," Adamowski said. "I think it's in the hands of the administration to start implementing that objective."
At a special joint meeting of the Board of Education and the City Council in August, the two bodies discussed plans for Harbor School, but City Council President Michael Passero said his expectation was that the school would be "disposed" of, perhaps by finding a private developer to buy the property.
"The last we were officially told was that the administration and the Board of Education were supposed to come back to the City Council and tell us what their plans were for that building, and justify them," Passero said. "After that joint meeting the next thing we do is read in the paper that they decided unilaterally to keep this building and use it for this purpose."
Adamowski said the City Council was not involved in the decision to move High Road to Harbor School "because it is not their area of government." He said the council will be briefed on the plan after the Board of Education receives a report from the school administration, which is expected by the end of November.
Passero cited a "complete lack of communication" between the school administration and the city on the plans for Harbor School. "I'm willing to listen to the Board of Education on what their plans are and their justification," he said, "but hanging on to the school affects the city side of the budget and it also impacts our capital plan, and there has been no consideration of that."
If the City Council "were to have a buyer or developer for that property, the board has indicated a willingness to move to an alterative space," Adamowski said.
"The district needs every square foot of space it has in order to meet student needs it is not currently meeting," he said. "It is the intent of the district and necessary for the district to use all the space it can use."

Singing Turret icons by binoftrashWatch

Based off the portal two ending >> Ah that is my absolute favourite ending of any game I've ever played XD. Seriously the best thing ever. If you haven't played portal, I seriously suggest giving it a go.
The preview just shows one, but there are about five. They're all similar animation but they're just a bit different, that way if you shove them all together >>

As soon as I saw it, I decided it had to be my profile image.
la la alalalaaaa la la
Using on my steam account! Thanks~
XDD! It's "dancing girls," only with turrets! <3
right.... so I feel like playing portal 2 all of a sudden.
I loved the ending. and the huge turret in the back had a crown and looked like it was leopard colored! xD you should totally make that one!
Yeah the turret king. That thing played the really low notes XD. When my brother saw the room full of them he thought he was going to die on the game XD.
I still need to finish it, i never bothered doing so cuz I would get destracted with something else n forget. :/
Aww it's so awesome you have to finish it. The ending is really worth it.
Oh my god this is too good thank you
K'aww, I made a stamp like this not too long ago
this is such a cute idea! and i love that it's not just the same animation for all of them, i wouldn't have thought of doing that ;v;
I loved that part =w= it was my favourite part of the game, so I wanted to have them doing that on my page [since no one else had done it O:]

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
In case you missed the animated short when it aired last month as part of Cartoon Network's DC Nation programming block, DC Comics has now made the adorable "Tales of Metropolis" available online.
It's just a little more than a minute long, so I don't want to spoil it, but the short centers on a downright-endearing Bizarro, whose attempts to pass as a mild-mannered reporter (Not-Bizarro!) are foiled first by a tenacious Lois Lane and then by an alien invader. As with so many of the DC Nation shorts, the characterizations just about perfect (even the three-second cameo by gullible/clueless Jimmy Olsen).
Watch the full short below.
As Licensing Expo 2013 gets under way today in Las Vegas, Variety reports that with first Marvel and now Lucasfilm beneath its umbrella, Disney is poised to expand its domination of the entertainment licensing market. Last year, the media conglomerate generated $39.4 billion in retail licensing, and claimed a staggering 80 percent market share.
Once again the world's largest licensor, Disney now boasts six of the Top 10 franchises, according to the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers' Association: Disney Princess (No. 1), Star Wars (No. 2), Winnie the Pooh (No. 3), Cars (No. 4), Mickey & Friends (No. 6) and Toy Story (No. 8). Disney Fairies comes in at No. 11, trailed at No. 16 by Spider-Man.
The long-awaited new season of Adult Swim's The Venture Bros. debuts June 2, and along with it comes the second-ever Venture Bros. Shirt Club.
For one week after each episode airs, you can purchase a shirt based on that week's story for $20, designed by Doc Hammer and/or Jackson Publick. Or, if you already know you want them all, you can subscribe and get all nine T-shirts (the season will run eight episodes, but the hour-long premiere gets two shirts) plus a bonus shirt for $165, saving yourself a little scratch in the process.
"You know the score. Opportunity has knocked twice," Publick said on his blog. "You snooze, you lose. Venture fans, this is your proudest moment! You know that Official Venture T-shirts are as rare and beautiful as albinos, and ones created by the actual Venture brothers are even more rare, and like five times more beautiful … What are you going to do? Answer: SHIRT CLUB!"
You can check out the bonus shirt here, along with details on how the club works. If you decide to subscribe, make sure you do it before June 8.
Baby Blues creator Rick Kirkman and Pickles creator Brian Crane shared the Reuben Award this year, which honors the outstanding cartoonist of the year.

As part of its upfront presentations Monday in New York City, Fox screened a new trailer for Axe Cop, an adaptation of the hit webcomic by brothers Malachai Nicolle and Ethan Nicolle premiering July 27 as part of the network's new late-night animated programming block.
If you've read the source material, or watched any of the previous teasers, you pretty much know what you're in for with Axe Cop, although this trailer features Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman offering some wisdom for the ages: "I want you to listen very carefully: There is something even better than friends — killing the guy who killed your friends."
Part of Animation Domination High-Def, Axe Cop also features the voice talents of Megan Mullally, Patton Oswalt, Ken Marino and Peter Serafinowicz. ADHD premieres Saturday, July 27 at 11 p.m. ET/PT.
Paraphrasing Lucy van Pelt, a California judge on Wednesday sentenced the original voice of Charlie Brown to a year in jail for threatening his ex-girlfriend and stalking her plastic surgeon, and then released to a residential drug-treatment facility.
Handing down an additional five-year probation and an order to pay $15,000 in restitution, Superior Court Judge Dwayne Moring cautioned former actor Peter Robbins, "If I can borrow a line from Peanuts, sir, I'm going to grant [you] probation. If you adhere to those terms, you won't go to prison. So, don't be a blockhead."
Cartoonist Ruben Bolling, creator of Tom the Dancing Bug, rounded up 23 cartoonists to contribute their work to an animated ad for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a coalition of mayors, led by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, that is advocating for "common-sense measures that will close deadly gaps in our gun laws."
The Mayors Against Illegal Guns ads eschew detailed discussion of the issues in favor of a simple images of people making an emotional appeal. This particular ad follows that format with cartoon characters, some familiar (the teenagers from Zits, the Family Circus family, Jason and his dad from FoxTrot), some more generic.
Peter Robbins, the original voice of Charlie Brown, could face up to three years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to threatening and stalking his ex-girlfriend as well as the plastic surgeon who gave her the breast enhancement he paid for. (Obligatory "Good grief!" goes here.)
The 56-year-old Robbins was arrested in January on an outstanding warrant while returning to California from Mexico, and arraigned on four felony counts of making a threat to cause bodily harm or great bodily injury and one count of stalking. According to City News Service (via The Associated Press), prosecutors say Robbins called his former girlfriend a dozen times a day and threatened to kill her and her son if she didn't return his car and dog. He allegedly also threatened her plastic surgeon, demanding a refund for the breast enhancement.
Viz Media has been busy snapping up licenses for its VizKids imprint, and now has announced a new one: a series of Ben 10 Omniverse graphic novels that will tie in with the Cartoon Network show.
Ben 10 Omniverse is the fourth iteration of the Ben 10 cartoon created by four comics writers (Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle), beginning as the story of 10-year-old Ben Tennyson, who changes into different types of aliens with the help of a device called the Omnnitrix. In Ben 10 Omniverse, Ben is now 15 and has a new Omnitrix that transforms him into different creatures. His Grandpa Max pairs him up with a rookie plumber named Rook (who's "highly skilled with his Proto-Tool, but lacks any field experience," according to the press release) to explore an alien city and stay one step ahead of the bad guys who are in hot pursuit. If this is making you feel a little lost, here's some good news: Cartoon Network is having a "Ben 10 Bootcamp" this weekend, with 17 hours of Ben 10 programming so everyone can catch up.
It sounds like some interesting announcements were made at the ComicsPRO meeting over the weekend in Atlanta, and one that is already hitting the streets is that IDW Publishing will release an entire line of comics based on Cartoon Network properties.
"Many of these Cartoon Network shows have only grown in popularity since they originally aired," Chris Ryall, IDW's chief creative officer and editor-in-chief, said in the press release, "and we're excited to be able to offer new iterations of the characters in comic-book form alongside both our planned reprint material and also some new animated ventures Cartoon Network has planned, too. There's a wealth of fun properties to play with here, and we've already got some unique things in mind for them."
The starting lineup will include The Powerpuff Girls, Ben 10, Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo and Generator Rex. Many, if not all, have been made into comics before: DC released 70 issues of its Powerpuff Girls comic and 34 issues of Dexter's Laboratory, in addition to a Cartoon Network Action Pack anthology, which featured many of the network's other characters (like DC Entertainment, Cartoon Network is a subsidiary of Time Warner), and Del Rey published a Ben 10 graphic novel that was written by Peter David and illustrated by Dan Hipp. So there is an interesting back catalog to draw on in addition to new material.
An IDW spokesperson told ICv2 that the first release in the new line will be a Powerpuff Girls comic this fall.

Matthieu Bessudo, the French artist commonly known as McBess, is becoming very popular indeed with the advertising industry. Known in the comics world primarily for the work he's produced for the boutique U.K, publisher NoBrow, his background is both in animation and music, playing guitar in various bands, making him the perfect man for this great ad for the streaming music service Deezer.
The 32-second short features a host of trademark McBess tattooed rock 'n' rollers who refuse to allow music to be contained like a genie in the bottle, letting it spill out in a series of bravura flowing animated musical set pieces, then ending with the motto "nothing will stop the music." McBess'sstyle has previously graced ads for the Nissan Qashqui SUV and this memorably filthy and effective one for the charity Good Books.
Former actor Peter Robbins, best known as the original voice of Charlie Brown, was set to be arraigned today in San Diego on charges that he threatened a police officer, a doctor and two others with death. "AAUGGGHH!!" indeed.
U-T San Diego reports the 56-year-old Oceanside, California, resident was arrested Sunday night returning from Mexico after border security discovered he had an outstanding warrant in San Diego County. He was booked early Monday and held on $550,000 bail until his arraignment today on four felony counts of making a threat to cause bodily harm or great bodily injury and one count of stalking.
CA Media, the Asian investment arm of The Chernin Group, has acquired what it's calling "a large minority stake" in Graphic India, a new subsidiary of Liquid Comics.
Launched in 2011 by Sharad Devarajan, Gotham Chopra and Suresh Seetharaman, Graphic India is a comic book and animation company focused on creating mythological and superhero characters and stories for the Indian youth market, published across mobile and online platforms. The Chernin Group was founded in 2009 by former television and film executive Peter Chernin, who was previously president and CEO of News Corp. The investment makes CA Media and Liquid joint owners, with the latter contributing its catalog of comics.
Graphic India, which partnered with Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment to create the superhero Chakra–The Invincible, plans to release new digital content centered on properties previously published by Liquid Comics. They include: Devi, developed by filmmaker Shekhar Kapur; The Sadhu, created by Gotham Chopra; and Ramayan 3392AD, developed by Deepak Chopra and Shekhar Kapur.
"India is home to some of the most creative minds in the world, and we believe that the next Batman, Harry Potter, Pokemon or The Avengers, can come from this country," Devarajan said in a statement. "At Graphic India, we intend to find, nurture and promote a new generation of creators to transform the world with their stories. The team at The Chernin Group and CA Media bring an unparalleled level of experience in entertainment and we could not imagine a better partner to work with to launch this mission."
Although the animated adaptation of Axe Cop, the hit webcomic by brothers Malachai Nicolle and Ethan Nicolle, doesn't premiere for more than six months — July 27, to be exact! — Fox is offering a taste of what we can expect from the show in the form of another installment of "Ask Axe Cop."
In the clip, which you can watch below, young Keith asks, "Would you ever consider running for president? And if so, what would your platform be?" The answer, as delivered by Nick Offerman — yes, in case you missed it, Ron Swanson of Parks and Recreation voices Axe Cop — is as funny as you might expect.
Part of Fox's new Animation Domination High-Def late-night programming block, Axe Cop also features the voice talents of Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Patton Oswalt, Ken Marino and Peter Serafinowicz. ADHD premieres Saturday, July 27 at 11 p.m. ET/PT.

Dr. Joseph Nicolosi often tells his audiences that, in essence, homosexuality in males derives from lack of bonding with the father. In this YouTube video, he describes several factors which he believes could be important in the development of male homosexuality, including a masculine, sports-minded older brother, peer rejection and sexual abuse. However, referring to these hypothetical factors, Nicolosi says...but none of these are as important as the early relationship with the father, b … [Read more...]
