3:10 EDT: President Obama Speaks on the Minimum Wage
Also at White House Live
Bringing over from last thread…
I just knew because I had an easy day at work yesterday, I was gonna pay for it today! LOL!
Anyway, Good Afternoon everyone! And a very Happy Birthday to Jackie G!
Have I mentioned recently how much I despise the GOP? Blocking the minimum wage adds to their cruel acts.

Bishop Tutu's comments on SoS Kerry's usage of 'apartheid"
A buildup of pressure caused an explosion as workers were changing a wellhead Wednesday at a West Texas oil field, killing two of them and injuring nine others, a sheriff said.
Loving County Sheriff Billy Hopper said authorities received an emergency call before 8:30 a.m. Wednesday about the explosion some 60 miles southeast of Carlsbad, N.M.
The two workers who were killed died at the scene, he said. Their names have not been released. Hopper said he did not know the extent of the injuries for the nine who were hurt.
It was not clear Wednesday which company operates the oil field, he said.
Initial reports indicated the workers were operating an oil rig, but Hopper later clarified they were using heavy machinery to switch out the wellhead.
So Yesterday, ABC/WashPo had POTUS at 41% approval and today, NBC/WSJ has POTUS at 44%?
In Jan ABC had POTUS at 45% and NBC had him at 41%.
C R A Z Y as Seal sang.
The two alphabet networks are LYING.
Mother Knows Best?
A new NBC/WSJ poll has bad news for Jeb Bush. Nearly 70 percent of people say they agree with his mom, former First Lady Barbara Bush, that other families should have a chance at the White House. "I think this is a great American country, and if we can't find more than two or three families to run for high office, that's silly," she said earlier this year on C-SPAN.

Now I gather that the French have that wine making thing down, but from my experience, they need to work on their beer technique. This is another example of a pretty uninspired factory grade beer that borders on being flat out nasty.
Average to look at - golden yellow with a short head and some spotty lace. Slightly grainy nose over some malt.
Odd flavour with an off putting chemical taste. Sweet up front, followed immediately by a short bit of bitterness. Then come the chemicals and a dose of alcohol. No harmony, just a series of not so good things happening.
Not interesting, almost unpleasant. I think I'd pass.

When poured into glass, the foam was almost white in color with a somwhat yellow haze and smooth. The color was a beautiful amber. The smell was woody, wheat and earthy with a small hint of flowers. Taste had a large overtone of earth (almost dirt), small hints of wheat and flowers and a small citrus undertone. The earthy tone was very overpowering. Mouthfeel - lightbodied. Drinkability - After tasting the earthy/dirt tones of the beer, it stops with an almost nasty taste. No wonder it was on sale. One of the worst sessions I've had.

750 ml bottle (BB end:2011) brought from Corsica where the brewery is located. According to the label it's a chestnut-based beer.
Pours clear, light amber body with fleeting white head. The nose is chestnut, dried apple slices and grassy hops. In contrary to the aroma I can't get any chestnut flavor out of this. The taste is caramel malt and grassy hops with bitter finish. Light bodied. Nothing memorable.

Soft fluffly creamy head, quite dense and regular bubbles. The body is very slightly hazy and of an orange color. The smell is very weak, slightly malty at best. Quite bad. Like seltzer water, almost no smell.
The taste is malty, slightly caramelized and citric. I wouldn't have found the chestnut if I hadn't know this was a chestnut beer. Very disappointing. Plain and uninteresting. The hoppiness is disturbing and not well balanced. Highly carbonated. The mouthfeel is maybe very slightly floury; that would be the chestnut flour I guess. It is mostly watery and weak. As for drinkability, I had a hard time finishing my glass (did I even finish it?) and I'm glad this was my only bottle.
This beer is so annoying. A great commercial success, playing around with the local corsican identity, but quite a shame for the brewer. It's easy to write stuff on the label in corsican to make Corsicans proud and to look exotic for all the others; but it'd be more interesting to focus the efforts on the brewing process. I hope I won't have to drink that ever again.

(Served in a strange)
A- This beer pours a slightly hazy brownish-orange hue with a thin head that never really forms and is soon gone. There is a sea of bubbles popping to the surface.
S- The soft woody malt aroma finishes with a band-aid quality but is otherwise very clean.
T- The soft brown malt hint fades into a big chlorophenolic band-aid finish with some plastic tastes that linger.
M- The medium mouthfeel has a slightly slippery texture and no real alcohol heat.
O- I couldn't make it through the glass and the plastic band-aid flavor sticks in my mouth even after I'm finished. I couldn't really detect any other flavors hiding out in there.

Pours a dark orange, slight tinge of red and clear. Has a thin white head that dissappears quickly into a collar, faint laciness. Aroma is malt and skunk, skunk being the majority. Taste is also very skunky but I did pick up some malt and a little bitterness. Light and thin texture, has a carbonated feel to it. Not recommended as a session beer, flavor is poor.

Bottle: Poured an amber color beer with a medium size foamy head with average retention and minimal lacing. Taste of light caramel malt with light sweetness. Taste is somewhat bland with some light caramel malt with some light sweet note also noticeable. Body is about average with some good carbonation. Chestnuts are impossible to detect and again not sure what they would have provided.

750ml brown bottle, 6.5% abv listed on the side. Poured into a pounder glass it forms a weak fizzy head that falls to an outer edge. Macro Lager type body that is shade closer to copper.
Doughy malts and an alcohol splash. The chestnut (earthy) tones are the best part of this beer. I think this is a good beer overall but I can't help but note that I dont think the mix of nuts and a lager mix well in this offering. Chestnut works well but I'd like to see the supporting cast beefed up a bit if not alot. As it warmed there is a distinct peppered element and the sweet grain bill jumps in to play as well.
Notes: Not a mix I took a liking to. The peppered addition gave this a life but in the end it felt kinda cheap and extract laden. For the price its a definite pass.

330ml Bottle
Appearance - Clear light copper colour with an average size frothy white coloured head. There is a low amount of carbonation showing and there is some faint lacing. The head lasted for around 3 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Malts, caramel, breads/grains, chestnuts?
Taste & Mouth - There is a slightly below average amount of carbonation and I can taste malts, caramel and a bit of a roasted/smokiness. There is also a flavour that I couldn't put my finger on, but after reading some reviews on this site I guess it's chestnuts. It definitely has a distinct flavour.. not sure that's a good thing though. The beer finishes with a malty roasted aftertaste.
Overall - The beers taste seemed to improve as it got warmer, but I still wasn't really a big fan. There was just something about the taste that I really didn't enjoy.

Slightly more orange than amber with a sparse cloud of fine particulates. The two finger cap is rich ivory in color and creamy in consistency. It's also gracing the glass with sheer sheets of lace that look like icing. Pietra is the best looking chestnut ale that I've ever seen. And the only one.
I'm not thrilled with the nose. Given the addition of chestnut flour, was it too much to ask for the beer to actually smell like chestnuts? The dominant aroma is an earthy, somewhat vegetal scent whose origins I can only guess at. If the flavor profile doesn't have a lot more going for it, my first foray into Corsican beer might also be my last.
Unfortunately, Pietra tastes exactly like it smells. I guess that oddness must be the chestnut flour, since, as far as I know, there aren't any other unusual ingredients present. Just don't expect it to taste like chestnuts, that's all I can say. Lightly sweet, lightly toasted, lightly nutty malt (think Victory or Munich) is the centerpiece. More hops would have helped.
While the mouthfeel is nothing to write home about, it does its job ably enough. A modest finishing slickness and a lower than usual bubble load are its distinguising characteristics.
I expected something unique, exotic even, when I learned about the use of chestnut flour in Pietra Biera Corsa. The sad truth is, it's just another lackluster Euro beer (that's an ale rather than a lager) that stands out from the crowd because it has a different off-flavor than most. Don't bother.

330 ml bottle, labeled Pietra Bière Ambrée, bought in France. My first Corsican beer. Amber colour, large head. Nutty aroma with toffee and undefined herbal notes. Flavour is moderately malty with not-too-good hops, the chestnuts shine through. Chestnut powder in beer, WTF? Some strange medicinal character and a bitter finish and aftertaste. Not my favourite this one.

330ml bottle given to me by a friend from France...
Poured a coppery orange / amber colour... Slightly off white head poured big and foamy and faded to thin layer...
Aroma - Quite noticable sweetcorn (quite sickly), boiled rice, only the slightest hint of chestnuts, very light toffee malts, hops just about noticable, fruity (oranges, apples, maybe some figs)...
Taste Spicy sweetcorn, light hops, some toffee malts, nutty sweetness ... overall a bit too sickly sweet...
Feel - Quite smooth.. Light / Medium bodied...
Overall - A pretty poor beer....Not really worth a try...

After reading on the label that this was "Chestnut Beer" I thought I had a lot to look forward too... unfortunately that wasn't the case.
The body is a dirty bronze, and the head is a soapy white one that doesn't seem to develop during the pour or lace at all.
The smell is practically non-existant, if anything the only real thing I'm getting out of it is starch vegetables.
I don't know about chestnuts, but I gues if I stretch my imagination I could believe there's some light nuttiness to the taste, but it really would be a stretch.
It really tastes like a typical "beer", almost like a traditional cerveza in fact, but with a little extra sweetness. There's a bready aftertaste, with a little bitterness - none of which I feel particularly good about.

Pours clear light brown and looks beautiful. Thin, evanescent head. Not much going on in terms of smell; just bland nutty notes. The mouthfeel is light, almost watery, with a fair amount of carbonation. Tastes nutty, with some floral and fruity notes and some acidity. Not really bad, but not to be missed. A good refreshing brew to be enjoyed well chilled. Sessionable.

Having been searching for this beer for quite several months now, finally I tracked it down at the UTOBEER stall, Borough Market, S. London. BBE 06/08, served lightly chilled in a broad-rimmed goblet.
A: bright tawny hue, with abundant streams of tiny fizz, and a off-white frothy beer head dissipating a bit too fast.
S: interesting mix of slightly lemony lager malts, lightly roasty, dried-grassy hops and, yes, a ground nuts like chewy nutty sweet texture~~ a sulphury and eggy note stays quietly in the background, not too much to spoil that pleasing fore-note. Overall, quite intriguing, if not a touch too timid for me.
T: weird, clashing and metallic mouthfeel upfront with a touch of fizz too much... fast proceeding to a malt-themed aftertaste, bready in texture and intertwined with a lightly bitter-sweet touch of, exactly "what it says on the tin", chestnuts! A mild touch of grassy hops' bitter edge lingers in the end as well, like chewy hays.
M&D: quite refreshing on the mouthfeel, and the initial clashing feel disappears quickly after the second sip (guess it's because my tongue has got used to it?!). The impression of a lager with a chestnutty character is not that bad after all, yet the overall performance for me is below average, for the body falls thin and the more pleasant flavour comes in at too late a stage. Still I don't regret that I've tried it. By the way, I suspect it goes well with roast chicken (just popping up in my mind)??...

Pours a clear dark cooper, decent head and traces of lace. Subtle malty aroma, quite clean, hints of german dopplebock caracter.
Flavor, quite unimpressive yet nothing wrong about it, a clean malty lager, very much like what is present in germany. A little thinner bodied and a tad more bitter, reminds me of Mexico's Negra Modello.
Easily quaffable, a million times more flavor than those mass produced lager. A good lawnmower beer.

Pours reddish gold with a thin, quickly dissipating head. Smells of sour cherries. Tastes of caramel but without the sugar if you can say that of something that is burnt sugar. Also has a sight hop note to it that lingers into a slightly bitter aftertaste. No real complexity. Mouthfeel is watery with just a note of silkiness on the back of the tongue. Drinkability is good, as you could down several of these without noticing, really. Probably evidence why the French are known for their wine.

LSU- I was really torn between taking a WR and a CB here. Just my two cents, I love Kyle Fuller but thought 15 was too low and he would be ideal in a trade down situation. So, we go with one of the best still on the board and get an Antonio Brown double with that Hines Ward toughness.
Hello everyone! I've known of BTSC for quite some time but decided to pull the trigger and finally post something. I'm sure everybody either loves reading these or is so sick of these this time of year so how about another Mock Draft?! I used Fanspeak's On The Clock Mock Draft site with the Walter Football Big Board. Some of these are going to be a bit of a reach just because it's computer simulated but it's always fun to mess around with. Let me know what yinz think, even though I know a bunch of these are reaches
46 CB JASON VERRETT TCU- This is definitely not going to happen but draft day always brings surprises. He should be fringe 1st rounder and possibly early 2nd. Maybe one of the most physical corners in this draft but the only knock is his size. I'll take an upgrade over Willie Gay any day. (Give him credit he did play well last season)
97 ILB SHAYNE SKOV STANFORD- I have watched this guy for the past 2 seasons and absolutely love him. Nonstop motor and a motivator. Has good size and the instincts are there. Screams Steelers ILB, only knock is he had a DUI in 2012 and we know the Steelers tend to stay away from that type of thing but he has been clean and has been a character player the last few years.
118 DT DAQUAN JONES PENN STATE- Don't think he will be here in the fourth round cause I have seen him go as high as the second round and not a ton of depth with the DT group this year. He's not gonna be another Big Snack but the potential is there. Has a good motor and can take on multiple lineman. He even has shown good burst to get into the backfield every once in a while in college.
157 CB PHILLIP GAINES RICE- This might be the biggest stretch of all. I can't see this guy being here in the fifth. 3rd round tops, but he has great size, strength, and speed. Played well in DI ball but at a smaller conference school. He would be a steal here.
173 RB DE'ANTHONY THOMAS OREGON- 3rd down back that will change it up with the Le'Backfield. Speed, speed, and more speed. Can also put him on the field with Blount to return kicks and punts as well so Mr. Brown doesn't get banged up.
192 DE BEN GARDNER STANFORD- He has ideal size for a 3-4 DE. Could be very similar to Keisel or Aaron Smith after a few years under his belt. I would still like to see if we sign The Beard after June 1st, he would be a great person to learn from.
215 WR JEFF JANIS SAGINAW VALLEY- This is where it could get interesting. I know Ben wants a big target and Mr. Janis can be that redzone guy. At 6'3" and 220, he had a great combine and his only knock is playing at a DII school. Hopefully it will transition to the next level. Luckily, the Steelers have a habit of finding these sleeper, small school types that produce.
230 OLB SHAQUIL BARRETT COLORADO STATE- Two Words- Joey Porter. He was the coach for Shaquil the past two seasons at CSU. The kid has potential and with Joey Porter, somebody he is already comfortable with, should be a profitable project.
I really feel that I hit all of the Steelers true needs with these picks. Sure I could have drafted maybe an OT in the later rounds like Seantrel Henderson or Billy Turner from NDSU, who could be a steal. I don't see the need for much more OLB depth because I'm not going to lie, I would like to see Deebo come back for one more run post June 1st. All in all this would be a solid draft and I think it is very reasonable at the same time.
I look forward to contributing to more discussions but hopefully some of you agree with this draft. Only fifteen more days to go!

When I was a kid I thought your 20s were supposed to be fun, not filled with perpetual anxiety about financial stability and constantly feeling like an unaccomplished piece of shit.
That's because it was fun for baby boomers and they basically gave us this impression it would always be like that, but then they ruined the economy.

(Batman Returns)
(Batman Returns)
Hamill's Joker > all. That is the definitive Joker.
I also think Tim Drake in the Animated Series and arguably, Teen Titans is a better Robin than any other. If a live action Robin was done more like that, or like the comics, I'd like it.
@Chyron8472 said: Really... it's about a man who dresses up as a bat to frighten his enemies, fights crime mostly at night, and lives in a place called Gotham City. It's supposed to be dark, not campy.
Funny. A lot of people consider those things to be what makes it so campy and laughable. They criticise Begins and Dark Knight for taking the concept way too seriously. Most people I know and talk to consider Batman the silliest (yet awesomest) super hero ever.
@Chyron8472 said: That's the main problem with Batman Forever and Batman & Robin: they are catered more toward children, and have WAY too much camp as a nod to the Adam West Batman TV show. Really... it's about a man who dresses up as a bat to frighten his enemies, fights crime mostly at night, and lives in a place called Gotham City. It's supposed to be dark, not campy.
Regarding Batman & Robin, watch the Nostalgia Critic's review of it. He's absolutely right about everything, especially the Bat-credit-card, Robin being a whiny brat and Poison Ivy saying "curses!".
Regarding Batman Forever, I personally don't see how it could have ever been a success other than that people liked the first two movies and went at least once to the third one, thinking it might also be good. I am convinced that it is Jim Carrey's Riddler alone that saves this movie from being as stupid and infuriating as Batman & Robin is. Tommy Lee Jones is a good actor in general, but he's a terrible Two Face. Two Face was disfigured by acid being thrown at him in the comics, and he's crime boss. Crime bosses (especially Two Face in the comics) aren't known for laughing so maniacally that it sounds fake, and corrosive acid isn't known for turning the skin on your face into fluorescent purple plastic. I hated Tommy Lee Jones' Two Face. I also hated that they put fluorescent paint on the walls and the faces of people wherever there was gang activity. Tommy-guns look stupid when you affix circular neon lights to the cartridge. Also, Micheal Keaton is a better Batman than Val Kilmer. All of this was bad enough that Robin didn't bother me by comparison.
Really, how was Batman Forever a success? That movie sucked really bad.
I agree 100%, they are more aimed at kids, because if I was ever to watch them now I would definitely do a /facepalm and think, was was they thinking when they made this?
I haven't seen any of the old batman for many years now, and I don't think I will ever watch them again.
I can honestly say I don't even remember the slightest bit of what happens in the first batman, it was just that boring to me.
Batman Returns I watched over and over, I liked The Penguin and Cat Woman. So I remember that movie to heart, as it was my favourite. Now a days I don't really give it that much thought.
I agree with Batman Forever just being a terrible movie, Two Face was badly made, now the Two Face we see in Dark Knight is really scary. Jim Carry as The Riddler was just a wrong move on their part, I think I heard from someone that Batman Forver was quickly thrown together because Jim was getting crazy and wanted to do a movie. And yes, Val Kilmer was was a bad choice for batman.
Batman and Robin I really liked as a kid, lots of fun going on in that movie and I laughed a lot. But now, I can see that the plot is really weak and Uma Thurman did a horrible Poison Ivy. George Clooney was the worst choice for Batman, I mean since when did Bruce's hair go grey so fast? Don't get me wrong I really like George, but not as Batman. Robin was doing my head in, and Batgirl/woman had an attitude that could drive me up the wall.
The only thing that really saved it a little, was Arnold as Mr. Freeze. Just too bad the movie was so dull and the rest of the cast to be wrong.
Case in point for Two-Face (I have to do this. I really hated Tommy Lee Jones' portrayal.):
Two-face from the comics:
Two-face from Batman: The Animated Series:
Two-Face from The Dark Knight:
and... Two Face from Batman Forever:
Tommy Lees Jones just looks retarded, and it's made worse by the fact that he laughs and cackles more than The Joker does. He's a crime boss. He's supposed to be menacing.
The most retarded thing to me about The Animated Series and Tommy Lee Jone's Two Face is that the split on their faces goes down IN A PERFECTLY STRAIGHT line. That's just horridly ridiculous. It looks so stupid...I mean it just..it...STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID STUPID!
This comment may contain spoilers!
You mean Two-Face from The Dark Knight?
I loved Two-Face's portrayal in that movie. My only regret is that he (apparently) dies. It was so refreshing to see him done properly after having experienced Batman Forever. In fact, I remember when he first showed his marred face in full on screen in the theater and how, for me, it immediately made the whole movie go from great to awesome.
@Secret Fawful said: The most retarded thing to me about The Animated Series and Tommy Lee Jone's Two Face is that the split on their faces goes down IN A PERFECTLY STRAIGHT line.
I forgive the animated series for this cuz it's a cartoon and is therefore not required to be completely accurate. Live action, however, benefits from being realistically believable especially when previous installments in a series work hard to do so. With how popular Batman was at the time, it's ridiculous for them to have made Tommy Lee Jones look like his makeup artist normally worked on high school plays.

Mayne Mannish - Stop Play'n With Me
Artist: Mayne Mannish
Featuring: Clyde Carson , Erk Tha Jerk
Producer: Shonuff
Album: Guilty Pleasure
Avg Rating: 2.0 ( 3 total votes )
On his Booth debut, Cali spitta Mayne Mannish urges us to Stop Play'n With Me. While the title might lead us to believe that he is all work and no play, upon closer inspection, I think it's safe to say Mannish definitely has a sense of humor. Atop the hypnotic Shonuff production, Mannish uses his unique, nasally, slurred flow to weigh-in on whether or not it's worth it to buy a girl an Applebee's dinner in order get lucky (spoiler: it is). Joining in on the lady lovin' fun (in between the hookwork of Clyde Carson) are fellow Bay Area natives Erk tha Jerk and Roach Gigz, who respectfully encourage the ladies to "shake it like an earthquake" and question the motives of a girl who shows up at the hotel at 2AM not looking for a booty call. Want more? Then be sure to check out Mannish's forthcoming project, Guilty Pleasure, set for release on April Fools Day (4/1).

GE's newly-launched FirstBuild microfactory is already hard-at-work. First up, an auto-fill Smart Pitcher for hands-free water filling.
Pricing not available
A new oven technology from GE's FirstBuild factory will allow you to scan barcodes of prepackaged foods to automatically set cooking times and temperatures.
Pricing not available
GE's FirstBuild is rethinking appliances for the high-end urban consumer. A sink, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, oven, microwave, and stove are all packed into this compact "monoblock."
Despite this gadget's clear potential, there are still too many performance kinks for us to recommend it outright.
It's not as much of a conversation piece as the tank-like Alienware 18, but the slimmer, lighter Alienware 17 is arguably more practical for serious gamers with realistic budgets.
There's a premium to be paid, but the massive Alienware 18 is a show-off-worthy desktop replacement that takes down even the newest PC games, and is just plain fun to use.
Dell has revamped its gaming line, including the new Alienware 14. The design changes don't go nearly far enough, but no complaints about the performance.
As long as your performance needs don't go far beyond basic productivity tasks, the Toshiba Satellite P775-S7320 is a decent big-screen laptop.
Pricing not available
GE's FirstBuild factory is rethinking a classic. Its new kitchen sink disposer will be smaller and promises to be more efficient and safer with the help of clever design.

Ofcom to investigate BT over fibre broadband charges
The watchdog will explore whether BT is asking a fair price to rent its fibre cables to other Internet service providers.
BT could be in hot water over how much it charges other Internet service providers to access its fibre broadband network. TalkTalk has complained about what it says are sky-high prices, leading Ofcom to investigate, fibrebroadband.co.uk reports.
Rival TalkTalk claims BT is squeezing margins between its upstream costs and downstream prices.
"We expect to gather further information using our powers under the Competition Act 1998 and to analyse this information," Ofcom said in a statement. It added it would "consider whether BT has abused a dominant position under UK and/or EU competition law."
A spokesperson for TalkTalk said: "We have long maintained that there needs to be tighter regulation in superfast broadband to ensure a level playing field and therefore deliver real benefits for consumers and businesses. We are pleased that Ofcom is taking this matter seriously and have decided there is reasonable suspicion to investigate BT's fibre pricing."
BT said in a statement it is "disappointed" the case has been brought "despite any lack of evidence", dismissing it as "spurious".
Back in 2009, BT was given carte blanche by Ofcom to set whatever prices it saw fit for other ISPs to access its fibre network. This was in order to cover the investment in infrastructure and the risks associated with it. About 80 broadband providers rent BT's fibre cables, with TalkTalk the only one to complain. But then the two have a bit of history.
TalkTalk founder Sir Charles Dunstone and chief executive Dido Harding have complained BT is "rebuilding its monopoly" through its new network of fibre cables. BT boss Ian Livingston hit back, accusing the two of being "copper Luddites" who were too stubborn to invest in fibre. It's all a bit saucer of milk for table seven.
What do you think of BT's position? Let me know in the comments, or on our Facebook page.

The Hendricks Regional Health (HRH) Fresh Start Challenge at its core is designed to give a company the resources it needs to accomplish its overall goal of having a healthier workforce.
Recently, representatives from HRH were able to tailor the program specifically for Wood-Mizer, 8180 West 10th St., Indianapolis.
"Our director … decided to do some kind of weight management, weight loss program at the beginning of the year," said Brenda Moeckly, registered dietician at HRH. "'The Biggest Loser' style is kind of how it started, but we kind of wanted to tailor is toward Wood-Mizer's needs and wants."
Moeckly said the 16-week program started in January and featured many components.
"We did weekly weigh-ins to provide that accountability," she said. "We started off with lab draws and did all the blood work so that we could track from the beginning to the end."
She said she would visit Wood-Mizer every Tuesday with her "team," which usually included Exercise Physiologist Emily Sample to track how the employees were doing.
"I'd have information on nutrition and something different every week," she said. "(Sample) would have some new exercises or stretches, different things like that, to provide hands-on, or at least something to take away for everybody. We answered questions that everybody had about nutrition or exercise. Sometimes, one of the wellness nurses would come with us too for any questions on health conditions or medications."
She said the weekly visits allowed the employees to get a well-rounded approach to their health.
"Every week we were doing the weigh-ins and that's what we were measuring, because it was the easiest," Moeckly said. "But by doing the variety of measurements at the beginning and end, and then (we were) just talking each week as far as what healthy changes each week they had made in their diet and exercise. So you can focus on the increased energy and just the healthier feeling from the lifestyle changes that it's more than just the number on the scale. We're hitting it from every angle."

The IDF has commenced Operation Protective Edge in Gaza against Hamas, in order to stop the terror Israel's citizens face on a daily basis
Gaza terrorists have fired more than 450 rockets at Israel since the beginning of the year. The attacks have sent thousands running into bomb shelters and threaten 3.5 million Israeli lives.
Since Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, terrorists from the strip have fired more than 8,000 rockets into Israel.
Although Israel's Iron Dome Missile Defense system stops some of the attacks, most rockets are capable of reaching Israel's biggest cities. More than half a million Israelis have less than 60 seconds to find shelter after a rocket is launched from Gaza into Israel. Many have only 15 seconds. Read more on the IDF's Blog.

As the Bradshaw Mountain range stretches into the Sonoran Dessert, its landscapes change quickly. Shrub-strewn hills dip into valleys dotted with cacti. Clear streams run through dense copses, and then open to bare, clay-red plateaus. The guides at Desert Wolf Tours unveil these unforgiving yet magical landscapes, chiefly by leading caravans of Tomcars. These all-terrain vehicles let guests power over rocks, up hillsides, and through card towers to visit destinations such as old turquoise and gold mines and a ghost town.
Desert Wolf's team also takes visitors into the desert for recreational target shooting, supplying them with firearms, such as M16 rifles and Glock 17 handguns, to shoot under the supervision of NRA-certified instructors. Desert Wolf, a family-owned business, adheres to eco-friendly practices, participating in programs such as the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics. These efforts have not only earned the respect of guests, but also a certificate of excellence from TripAdvisor.
MTM Ranch is located on the Willow Springs Preserve, a mountainous stretch of wilderness south of the Tonto National Forest. There are no streets to cross or cars to dodge here, which has helped ensure the abundance of coyote, javelina, and mule deer. Stationed at the center of the preserve, MTM Ranch's herd of well-trained horses makes it easy for visitors to explore the region's natural beauty.
Before embarking on trail rides, wranglers pair each rider with a horse that suits his or her age, size, and level of experience. Then, they train new riders with the skills and tools needed to control their horse as they hit the hills. In addition to their equestrian expertise, guides also bring a keen knowledge of the surrounding region. They're happy to identify local flora and fauna for riders, and they'll answer any questions about horsemanship or the likelihood that one of the riders is actually a centaur.
Spur Cross Stables lives above an old 19th-century gold mine right on the edge of Tonto National Forest and its 3 million acres of rocky mesas, Saguaro cactus, and abundant desert wildlife. The stables' array of trail rides intertwine across some 30% of this vast landscape, leading up to seven riders at a time through Native American ruins, packs of coyotes, and vintage UFOs. Rides range from one hour to a full day, and match each city slicker up with one of the 50 gentle horses available for riding??many of which have been rescued from unhealthy situations. After the desert traipse is over, guides give each member of their group a carrot to feed their hoofed transport as a token of friendship and appreciation.
The two-day Taste of Cave Creek event gathers more than 25 local restaurants and the region's most renowned chili chefs and salsa makers at Stagecoach Village. Two stages host live music performances, while samples of barbecue, Mexican, Italian, and other unique types of food are served. Judges and guests taste the contestants' chili and salsas during a cook off before their eyes feast on sculptures, paintings, and artisan jewelry at the art exhibits. Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy tastings of tequila and sip on drinks at a wine and craft-beer garden.
The equine enthusiasts at Twin L Performance Horses conduct lessons to impart the fundamentals of horseback riding, including ground handling and mounting. Every activity is done, as their site says, "for the love of the horse." The woman behind this mantra, Linda Leslie, cultivated her passion for horses by beginning her professional training in 1985. Today, she brings her expertise to Twin L Performance Horses, an Arabian horse facility focused on using compassion and gentle discipline to turn out well-behaved show steeds.
Randy Long entered the working world as a travel agent, a vocation that whet his appetite for globetrotting, adventure, and haggling with airlines. When he became a father and husband, he passed a passion for thrill seeking on to his family, and their recent escapades include scuba diving in Barbados and dog sledding in Alaska. It was this thirst for exploration and a love of aviation that drove Randy to become an FAA-certified powered-parachute instructor and found Arizona Powerchutes.
Powered parachutes are comprised of two-seater, wheeled carts that float 20 feet beneath 40-foot parachutes. At sunrise—or sunset during the cooler months—Randy and a passenger climb aboard the cart, and Randy hits the throttle, gathering speed for about 100 feet before the parachute fully inflates and hoists the cart into the air. Randy adjusts the altitude to his patron's comfort level and steers crafts over the exotic plants and mountain silhouettes of the Sonoran Desert, averaging a speed of 26 miles per hour. After journeys, powered parachutes float to land safely, as they are inspected by the pilot prior to each flight and by an FAA-approved facility after every 100 hours of operation.

One of our kids has told us that a facebook page (person, not group or business) has been set up and is inviting all our students to become friends. The worrying thing is this isn't set up by the school and obviously adding a fake "friend" then gives them access to your info.
Yes, we've had the chat with the girls about security online and dont accept friends you don't know, but is there a way of getting this person removed? I've clicked the "report" button and it says "thanks for reporting" but has anyone got experience on how long this will take, how they get back to you, how I can follow up if they do nothing? As this could either be an innocent joke or quite a serious threat depending on how you look at it.

Some thoughts.. IBE Battles!
For the first time in the 2 year history of the Red Bull BC One All Stars, We went to battle as one crew. It all went down at the Notorious IBE in the legendary All Battles All. Spending most of the year on the road, it was agreed that we would go to IBE and put our name against a hungry Young Gunz Squad and Team France.
The last time we were at IBE was 2 years ago, but that time we were all battling in different squads.
As we entered the floor for our first battle the energy that was in there was moving. We had a warm welcoming and it gave us a push. Battling the Young Gunz was our first time doing this as one unit so some moments were feeling a bit off and some on. We just couldnt catch the groove. Might of been the music or it might of been the feeling of holding back for our later battle. The young Gunz definitely took advantage of that weakness and had some very good moments. Tip my hat off to them and glad to see that there is a strong future in our scene.
The battle with Team France was the one that woke us up. All of us went in knowing that we had to put it all on the line and thats what we did. There we caught our groove and put it all out on the floor!
It was all a learning experience! Shout out to both teams for giving it theyre all. Also a shout out to the crew! We did our thing and held it down! Proud of all of the guys.
Taisuke, Lil G, Ronnie, Pelezhino, Cico, Neguin, Hong 10 and Lilou even though he didnt make it.
Enjoy the battles!
On The Road-India
Here is a clip of my trip to India this time around. I first came here in the summer of 2009. When we came then, there wasn't as many bboys getting down yet. After this trip I am happy to see the development in the scene. So many people have started Breaking now. It seems like it will continue to grow.
I really want to thank all the bboys out in India for all the love and support. You guys put a smile on my face. It was amazing the amount of support you guys have showed us. I just want to say that I hope you guys learned something new in my classes.
It was a dope time getting down with all the locals in Mumbai, at their practice spot Battle Fort Mumbai.
Thanks again and until next time!
Also a shout out to Cico, Pelezhino, and Neguin for the good times!

Loosing the Airflare??
It has been brought to my attention that Gymnastics is trying to take a movement that was created and innovated in BBoyn. What we call the airflare, they want to rename the move to the Hamminator. Honestly that sounds wack. It is trying to be changed because of the first people that did it in gymnastics. With their last name being Hamm. One thing we cant forget is that Pablo from Soul Control/Climax is the first person to do continuos airlfares. They want to rename the movement into something new to fit their standards. When we use the Flare we still use the term Thomas Flare to recognize where it came from.
Honestly it is up to us the people in the scene to stand up and make a difference. Please Spread the word.

Break'N Reality Available on Itunes now!!
It is finally out, Break'N Reality has become a reality! The show has made its way to itunes and it will premiere on Halogen TV in 11 days. It is the first BBoy reality show of its kind. I hope it is a step forward in our community for new opportunities and for others to get something like this as well.
It was a great experience for myself overall. People now get a chance to see the lead up to what was one of the most amazing moments in my breaking career. It all felt like a dream but it was captured and documented in a way I never imagined. Now you get a bit more details into what I do on the regular and see what my life is really like. Also people will get to see what the life of a bboy is like. That is what the goal is, to let the world know we are here and we aint going now where.
Make sure to check out the new trailer as well!

Crazy Leggs on CNN
I remember watching Crazy Leggs on Beat Street in the summer of 1995! The battle in Beat Street was such an inspiring movie for my friends and myself. I had no idea he still breaked until Ground Level showed me BBoy Summit 95. What a classic tape it definitely was an eye opener. 17 years later and 35 years of him being involved in breaking he has called it a day. One day we must all decide when our time to retire from this dance we love is, I just want to congratulate him on his years in the game.

Outbreak Highlights
Check out the Outbreak 8 highlight clip put together by Strife TV! Well done guys.
World Tour pt.1
I am currently on day 8 days of a 52 day tour around the world. Which will cover 7 countries and multiple cities. Everything has been on the go from the moment I left home Last Thursday. I arrived in Slovakia on Friday morning after hours of delays and flight cancelations. Upon arrival we drove straight to the venue of Outbreak 8 World Finals.
For the first time the finals were out of the US, put together by MG and MK of The BBoy Spot Europe. It was a lot of fun being there for 2 days and judging some dope bboys/bgirls along two legends Ken Swift and Freeze. The event held its vibe which is the most important thing when you move your event to a new place. It was filled with people just vibing and cyphering all day. The after parties were official as well. Major props and shout out to the BBoy Spot Europe for doing it right.
Sunday morning after a fresh after party it was time to make my way to my 48th country Sri Lanka!
I was on my way there to meet the Red Bull BC One All Stars Taisuke, Pelezhino and Cico for another 2 days. My first time there was to short but definitely made some good memories and some beautiful landscape!
Currently I am India just got here on Wednsday and with out hesitation the next morning made our way to the Taj Mahal! 2nd time was just as nice!
Here's some photos from my journey so far!
Interview on RedBull.com
"For a long time, the dance wasn't respected by the masses," explains Roxrite. "They had a perception of, 'Oh, they just throw themselves on the ground and do some spins.' But the pioneers that paved the way for us to do this now were the ones making sure we're respected on an international level. You don't want to throw that away by not being you and representing what b-boying really is."

Bring a tape recorder because the class is a snoozer
I enjoyed this class very much. He was clear and made the subject matter interesting with his very good sense of humor (hilarious). Very willing to help you out.
Awesome Professor! He's a fast lecturer but it keeps it moving and interesting. He's a funny guy and knows his stuff too! Definitely going to try and take more classes with him!

Keys to Excellence – Now Open for Data Collection!
Keys to Excellence, SNA's brand new online benchmarking tool, is up and running.
This tool provides an assessment of your program from every angle – operations, nutrition, administration, marketing,
and more.
To get started on your district's personalized assessment*, visit
Despite the efforts of the School Nutrition Directors, advocates and other allied organizations to present a fair and equitable policy on "fund raising exceptions", the State Board of Education initiated the rulemaking process to amend the state board rule to comply with the federal Healthy, Hunger-free Kids Act of 2010. Federal regulations require these new standards beginning July 1, 2014. The proposed amended rule will include provisions that require local school systems to have policies regarding the sale of competitive foods during school and school-related activities (fundraisers). The rule will also contain new definitions for "competitive foods", school campus, and school day.
The initiated rule will allow schools to hold up to 30 food-related fundraisers per school per school year that do not meet the nutrition standards recommend by the Institute of Medicine and that are now established by federal law. The Department of Education will also develop a procedure for school districts to obtain a temporary exemption from the State BOE approved fundraiser limit (30) on a case-by-case basis. Local school nutrition directors recommended a total of five (5) exemptions.
The State Board will be voting on this issue at their August 21st board meeting. You all know this is a time of great challenge in school nutrition. It is very important that each of you contact the Board with your comments and local "stories" about how the snack policy will affect your program and your bottom line. They have heard from others in the educational community---now they need to hear from you.

Police confirm sudden death at St David's Cathedral
Updated 3:25pm Thursday 27th March 2014 in News
POLICE have confirmed that an 84-year-old man died on the grounds of St David's Cathedral on Wednesday afternoon (March 26).
The emergency services were alerted to the incident at 1.47pm, right as people were coming out of the Bishop's Palace following a medal presentation for 236 Signal Squadron.
A paramedic in a rapid response car and an emergency ambulance were in attendance, and they could be seen performing CPR on the casualty at the foot of the 39 steps.
Police were also on the scene, and the Wales Air Ambulance circled the city, but did not land.
The man's next of kin and the H.M. Coroner have been informed of the death.

Patent use, Technology Licensing and IP management in UK firms
- Start date: 27 September 2012
- End date: 26 September 2013
In partnership with the UK Intellectual Property Office, this study will gather evidence on the role of patent protection in the UK economy, the use of patents by firms (especially innovative firms) and on the strategies being used by firms to manage their IP . We bring new academic thinking on these issues (in the US and UK) to bear on a small-scale survey project.
The results of the survey will be able to plug important evidentiary gaps about the recourse to patenting by innovative firms and also the use of patents though licensing and cross-licensing in the UK economy. In addition detailed interviews of IP management practices in UK firms based on similar surveys conducted in the US will enable a deeper understanding of the organisational issues and practices regarding IP valorisation in UK firms. We expect that this understanding and analysis of the survey data will be a valuable input in training programmes to raise awareness about patent use in small and medium firms and can also inform policy on intellectual property in the UK and the UK's position on patent use legislation at the EU-level.
