This clip from Anderson Cooper Is Mr. 360 in which an optometrist buggggs the ffffff ooouuuut is a couple weeks old, but I never saw it before (no myopo) and it doesn't matter how old it is because it was an instant classic the day it was born.
Hahahahaha. This guy seriously should have rested his case. Obviously, when you are being accused of fraud, there is no better way to prove that you are an innocent, respectable, and, most importantly, VERY SANE business man than beating up an old man in front of a camera crew, leaving voicemails about witnessing the power of God, and screaming "STOP LOOKING AT MY STORE" while throwing snowballs in everyone's face. It's an air tight legal strategy, which is why you see it in most episodes of Law & Order (watch yourself, McCoy!). But as everyone knows, it doesn't count in a court of law until you say "Your honor, I rest my case," which is where this guy got into trouble. Total loophole. SUSTAINED! (Via Joe Mande.)

C'mon. this is obviously fake. If this supposed situation actually occurred in Canada, there would be no "cops," there would be Mounties. They would have been dressed in their terrible red jackets with their terrible hats and the "SWAT" team would have consisted of a guy with a hockey mask and guy with a log trying to break down the door.

Best Theater Production Denver 2005 - The Goat or, Who Is Sylvia?
Readers' Choice: Kafka on Ice, Buntport Theater
Edward Albee's play about a man in love with a goat makes you question every assumption about sexual mores you've ever made. Just where are the boundaries between the permissible and the impermissible, and what do they mean in the lives of actual people? The Goat or, Who Is Sylvia? is skillfully written, funny, silly, profound and disquieting all at once; the script includes one of the most extraordinary scenes in modern dramaturgy, as the wife who's discovered her husband's animal obsession careens from rage to helpless laughter, laughter to anguish and anguish to bitterness, breaking vases and furniture as she goes. Director Nagle Jackson gave this strange, daring piece a top-notch production at Curious, with an expressive cast, intelligent direction and an elegant set.

The men took the woman's purse and then stuffed her in the trunk of her vehicle.
Witnesses called police and chased them to a Jack in the Box in Sharpstown where Baul was taken into custody.
Police are still looking for the other suspect.

Motivation Counts – When It's Time To Experience Real Results
February 18, 2014 in Motivation, Motivational Speaker, Purpose
Most of us will not find it difficult to understand that feeling unappreciated and stressed is a common workplace complaint these days. And yet, millions toil every day, giving their best to an employer, and at a rate that is much less than they are worth.
On the other side of this coin resides some of the harsh realities of the business world. For example, it would be fiscally detrimental for a company to pay its employees what they are worth. After all, a business must be able to make a profit on your work, otherwise, the doors would have to close. And the cost of managing unhappy and unfulfilled employees, especially when morale is low, is an escalating expense for businesses across the globe. It is statistically proven that absenteeism and low production produce deficits on the balance sheet that amounts to millions annually.
I hasten to add, my goal here is not to elaborate on the woes of the corporate world, but to highlight the importance of the role Purpose plays in our lives. And you may well ask, what in the world does purpose, or motivation for that matter, have to do with any of the things mentioned in the sentences above?? Let's take a closer look.
In my book, Life Is A Lobster, I wrote about growing up in a poor as well as abusive environment. And the lessons I learned were filled with such feelings as one finds in today's workplace, namely stress, disrespect, and low wages. As I grew old enough to get a job, I started earning a paycheck, but I also began writing. I actually wrote my first book at 8 years old. For me writing provided an escape, or at least a change of scenery, that put me into contact with an understanding of my purpose.
As I later learned, writing was actually my purpose for being here on earth. And there was a particular genre of writing that was most meaningful to me and that was helping others find their purpose. My life is now totally focused on writing and motivational speaking. The goal is to provide step by step exercises and guidance to clarify how to connect and thrive by digging into your purpose.
For a few practical guidance, especially adaptable for those in the work environment, I'll share a few words from an article by Karl Dover.
"Following are some steps you can take to define a personal purpose that will guide your decision, actions, and critical interactions.
When your group is looking for an experienced and entertaining speaker for your next event, Book Me.
Time is valuable and you want to take away something solid, whether it's an hour for a "Lunch & Learn" or a keynote address that's needed to rekindle the fire under a marketing team that has lost their edge. A pragmatic and hard-hitting motivational message about purpose, will move the bar. When results are what matters, let's talk.

The Cape Fear River runs inland like the main artery of history from the sea to the mountains. It's one of only four rivers contained entirely within the borders of the state and the only one that empties directly into the ocean. It flows for some 200 miles, cutting right through the heart of the state, containing in its drainage basin 116 towns and cities in 26 of North Carolina's 100 counties.
We arrive at Buckhorn Dam on the upper Cape Fear River just before 10:30 a.m. on a gorgeous May morning. There are four of us: David Webster, a wildlife biologist and my colleague at the university where I teach; Ethan Williamson, an experienced white-water river guide who is also head of Friends School of Wilmington; his wife, Amy, our expedition photographer and birder; and me, a silver-haired writer with two strong paddling arms, one good knee, and a yen for adventure. We have help from two graduate students, who will ferry our vehicles home and return a few days from now to fetch us at the take-out below Fayetteville, some 65 miles downriver from where we'll start. This is just the first leg of a river run that will take us 200 miles to the sea.
The air is cool but quickly warming, the sky clear of any threat of storm.
We splash the boats just below the confluence of the Deep and Haw rivers, just downstream of Mermaid Point.
Off to the right looms the dam, anchored by a square, concrete tower on the near bank, stretching across the river in a hard, straight line, the water rushing over it in a beautiful, glimmering fall that seems almost frozen.
Buckhorn Dam presents a somewhat dangerous optical illusion of being rather diminutive with a short fall beyond it. In fact, it stands 14 feet high from the original riverbed and contains 1,200 linear feet of concrete founded solidly on a base that is 12 feet wide. Because we see it at relatively low water, it looks tame, but time and again it has proved to be a killer.
The Chatham County Record reported on one such instance on April 25, 1907, when five men lost control of their boat near the Buckhorn Dam. They were in a gasoline boat, carrying lumber across the river. They somehow lost control of the boat and began drifting with the current toward the dam. The five of them plunged over.
"Only one of them, Joe Andrews, escaped a watery grave," the newspaper reported. "He was able to swim ashore, but the other four were drowned, and their bodies were swept down the river and may not be found for many days, if ever."
And drowning isn't the only danger posed by the hydroelectric dam — or the river. In September 1907, a hellacious storm dropped more than two inches of rain in a few hours. Lightning arced from a poplar tree into the powerhouse near the dam and killed seven men instantly. The strike stunned another 25 workers, seven of them seriously injured. A horse was said to be uninjured but "frantic" and had to be brought under control. The accidental death toll at Buckhorn was estimated at 20 men, including the four washed over the dam, not to mention all those injured or burned by lightning.
The Record tallies the grim toll and adds a snarky postscript: "About fifty feet of the dam was washed away next day after the men were killed by lightning, which will delay for some time longer the completion of this important (and we may add unlucky) enterprise."
Those same roaring falls over the dam are in our ears as we wrestle the two canoes off the roofs of the vehicles, carry them to the flat beach downstream of the dam, and load them. We take our time stowing the gear, tying all the bags and sealed buckets to the thwarts in the event of capsize.
At last, David and I are ready to shove off in his old aluminum Grumman canoe — moss green, built like a dreadnought. I'll be the bow man and he, with his considerably greater experience, will steer from the stern. Our canoe is heavily laden, but it's big enough to still ride well.
We carefully board our canoes and push off into the mild current below the dam. The water is low, just a foot and a half or so deep. I'm a little nervous, not having been in a canoe on a river with real current for a few years.
Just below the dam, we encounter a wide boulder field — Brazier Falls — tricky in low water, what are called Class I rapids, the mildest kind, easily navigated by an alert beginner. In high water, it would be challenging, a real trap. We follow Amy and Ethan, who's been running rapids since he was a kid. Amy is also an expert paddler with many miles of wild rivers on her résumé.
Ethan is tall and broad, easygoing, deceptively strong and agile. He has that knack for making physically difficult things look easy — the hallmark of a real pro. He knows how to handle a boat and how to read a river.
For running rapids, Ethan's modus operandi is to stand up in the back of his canoe about a hundred yards upstream of any "horizon line" that indicates fast water ahead. When you're on the river, the water always appears to be above and in front of you, so when it ends in a flat horizon, it's an indication that beyond that horizon, the river falls.
And the crucial question is always, how much, how fast? Is it a gentle fall through an easily threaded rock garden, a dramatic drop requiring focus and skill, or a true falls to be avoided altogether?
Ethan studies the river downstream, looking for surface ripples or humps indicating submerged rocks, circular eddies that are the telltales of back-flowing currents, foaming shallows over a sandbar, and so on, and picks out a route. Then David and I do our best to follow him. We do not stand up in our canoe. We are not morons. We understand that what seems easy when Ethan does it is in fact a minor feat of acrobatic balance. And, were we to try it, a great way to transform ourselves in an instant from paddlers to swimmers.
David and I are in a "sticky" boat, a canoe that grips a rock face with great friction and doesn't let go easily. By contrast, Ethan and Amy's canoe, an old, green Mohawk with duct-tape seats (the original fabric wore out ages ago), is plastic and slides off a rock. It's also far more flexible, so it has some bend and bounce to spring it off rocks. They skim over many rocks that grab us hard and won't let go.
The good thing about our Grumman, which David calls The Green Monster, is that it's tough and pretty stable so that whenever we do have to get out of it, getting back in is a matter of flopping aboard and grabbing on. It's not tippy or tender, and there's no danger that the rocks can do anything more than scrape off some paint or add a ding to the battered hull. It's at least half a century old, a true classic.
Below the dam, we veer off from the rock garden, following Ethan, into a side channel that turns out to be a very fast, very long canal, a vestige of the days when settlers attempted to navigate the upper river in flatboats. It's a fast run with the current tugging us along. We dodge rocks, slide around a long, left-hand bend, and I get my first dousing of the trip, a slap in the face with cold water.
It's a sporty ride through the second rapids at Battles Falls, and at one point, we actually spin 360 degrees. We drop to the bottom, and just yards from the still waters of the bottom eddy, we stick hard on an underwater rock. For the first of many times, we hop out of the canoe, shove it forward into deeper water, then slip back in. We become very adept at this. In time, whenever we stick hard on a rock, we don't even have to speak; we just free the boat and continue on our way.
We let the current take us.
This becomes a theme of the trip.
Even when we pick a course through the white water, invariably the current does something unexpected, slews us around, grabs our bow, and sucks us toward a rock or, if we're lucky, a sluice. If the former, we bump around it or push off the rock, snake our way back toward the main current. If the latter, we feel that little thrill in the stomach as we drop fast and rocket forward in a chirpy spray of cold water.
Sometimes the current stalls us in an eddy, and all our paddling gets us nowhere until we cooperate with what the river is trying to do, dipping a blade like a rudder into the current to steer us along. Sometimes the river takes us down a chute backward, and we simply ride along, hunkered forward, paddles shipped across the gunwales, until the river spits us out downstream, pointing again in the right direction.
Some of our hang-ups are just because of inexperience. But mostly, the river is just being what it is: an elemental force propelled by gravity, a tremendous mass that moves downhill inexorably, pushing past rocks, carving out the far bank of a bend because the nature of physical law dictates that the water on the outside has to go a longer distance than that on the inside, so it must move faster to keep up with the river. And sometimes the river narrows, and the water speeds up again because, as described by the continuity equation: If you decrease the radius of the conduit, the fluid moving through it must speed up according to a predictable formula.
Running a river is a great lesson in fluid dynamics without any numbers or arcane symbols. You're right there inside the equation, feeling it whirl and dip you. There's nothing abstract about it: The water is moving in complex ways, and with power.
For example, at the foot of Buckhorn Dam, the water flow over the dam produces what paddlers call a recirculating current or "hydraulic." Ethan explains all this to me in an ongoing series of lessons, sometimes while drifting along beside us, other times while we rest on the bank. The water pours over the dam and into the pool at the foot of the dam with such force that it actually hits the bottom and curls back toward the dam in a permanent wave. You can position your boat at the foot of the dam, facing upstream, and remain stationary almost indefinitely with only a minor stroke or two, surfing the current.
But if you get caught inside the "boil line" of the hydraulic, you will tumble over and over, unable to break free of the powerful cycle. This trap can occur in the water at the foot of any sluice or ledge, but it's most dangerous at the foot of a long, even dam (like Buckhorn) because the only way to break the cycle is to move parallel to the ledge or dam until you move out of the pull of the hydraulic. But if the dam is unbroken across the whole river, there's no room to break free of the hydraulic.
In that case, the journey takes you — and may not give you back.
Another ever-present danger on the Cape Fear is foot entrapment: your foot gets snagged between underwater rocks, the current rushes you downstream with your head underwater, and you drown because, with the tremendous force of the water tugging you tighter into the rocks' grip, you cannot break free of the rocks.
The worst danger of all, perhaps, is getting caught in a "strainer" — usually a tree that has fallen across the current. And on the Cape Fear, with all the hurricanes that barreled upstream in the past 15 years, there are plenty. Water passes through the tangle of submerged branches, but those branches trap a swimmer. And a swimmer is what any paddler will inevitably become if he hits a strainer because, with the bow stalled against the obstacle, the canoe or kayak broaches broadside and the current tips out the paddler.
It's nearly 6 p.m. on our second day on the river. The light is fading, and we're all fatigued after many hours of paddling, tired in our muscles and eyes. Only now do I realize just how hard we pushed ourselves today, how leaden and sore my arms feel, how wooden-stiff my legs.
We've been paddling for more than nine hours, so fatigue is probably a factor in what happens next.
Ethan and Amy shove off and make an effortless run down the chute, fast and thrilling, as David and I watch.
Now it's our turn.
We should unload the Grumman, as we did at Lanier Falls above Raven Rock State Park, run the chute with the boat empty, then paddle back through the eddy to the backside of the rock and reload our gear. But we've been running smaller chutes well all day, losing our shyness of white water, and it's getting late. We're tired and probably a little too relaxed. We board the Green Monster and follow the exact track that Ethan's canoe took, but at the bottom of the sluice, we strike an underwater rock that seems to rise up from nowhere.
The canoe slews sideways and broaches. Next thing we know, we're both in the water, the canoe is upside down, and we're being shoved along in a fast, powerful current, holding on to the canoe as best we can.
The water is deep, the current fast. It rushes in my ears, drowning out all other sound.
The river has us.
I feel the force of the river grabbing at me, shoving me hard into a rock. A sharp, stinging pain burns my hip and thigh, but I'm not cut, only bruised. For a few dizzy moments, we shoot downriver out of control, and of course as I'm being swept away, I'm cursing loudly, as embarrassed as I am scared.
But David is calm as ever, even laughing, bobbing along downstream, big straw sombrero still cocked on his head. We let the current carry us downstream a hundred yards or so — what choice? — and then the current widens and slackens. Ethan and Amy come paddling back toward us to help us wrestle our canoe upright and toward a rocky landing site. We pile our gear on the rock. All that's missing is the Chap Stick out of my pocket. Even our white, plastic trash bag floats off only a little ways before Amy snags it and hauls it into their boat.
It takes three of us to tip out some water from the Monster, and we bail out the rest. After a while, the boat is dry again, and we begin reloading our gear.
Soaking wet, we climb aboard the Green Monster and resume our journey into the gloom ahead.
About three miles downstream, with the light failing, we pull up onto a cobble bar, which Ethan suggests might be our last chance for a reasonably comfortable campsite. "We don't want to have to strap ourselves to trees," he says, only half joking. I can hear a note of worry in his tone.
Fine by me. My legs are cramped and stiff, and my belly is grumbling. It will be nice to step onto dry land, relax, and just let the day go down. I'm pretty sure there's a bottle of good malbec left among our supplies.
A cobble bar is different from a sandbar in one important way. While both are low and relatively flat, a sandbar is soft to sleep on, ideal really, and a cobble bar is a bed of rocks. The place is quite picturesque otherwise, shaded by the first river cypress we have seen all day, a towering tree with a broad, overhanging canopy fairly in the middle of the site. Since Ethan and Amy brought along sleeping pads, the stones present no drawback for them. They simply move some of the largest to the side, set up their tent, and floor it with the pads.
Ethan scouts a sandy bench just above the cobble bar. David and I step over and pace it, measuring off the footprint our tent requires. Using our canoe paddles and being careful to avoid contact with our hands, we uproot the poison ivy at the edge of the clearing. Then we remove a few sharp rocks and, again using canoe paddles, level the sand by raking it toward the river.
In this fashion, after 20 minutes or so of labor, we create a reasonably level, soft space, pitch the tent, and haul the rest of our gear up to the site. Our tent, which was stowed only in its Cordura nylon zipper bag, turns out to be unexpectedly dry except for a couple of damp spots, which David mops up with a T-shirt conveniently provided by Amy.
Now comes the moment of truth. The canoe turned upside down. The sleeping bags were immersed for minutes in cold, moving water. If they are wet, it will mean a miserable and probably sleepless night, not the restful and much-needed repose we've been looking forward to all day.
I unpack my bag first: It is bone-dry. David's is dry, too. This is as close to a miracle as we could wish for on the river.
I gather firewood — there's plenty around, busted tree branches, driftwood of all kinds — and lay out a fire ring near the water. On his backpacker camp stove Ethan cooks a jumbo pot of pasta, and we each wolf down our plates.
We are bone-tired, wet, mosquito-bitten, sore, and we're having the time of our lives. The wine flows freely into absurd plastic cups and bottles.
Before Ethan has time to build a fire, a cool drizzle begins, a slow, fitful precursor to the raging storm that will descend upon us soon and last all night. We gather under the lone river cypress, and for a long time, it keeps us dry as a huge umbrella, while we stand or sit on plastic drums drinking wine. Ethan builds a fire closer to the tree. There's no danger of it spreading, not with an increasingly steady rainfall and the river so close (and rising) and a site made of rock and sand for many yards in any direction.
And then the second miracle of the day occurs, this one woman-made. Amy fishes around inside one of the plastic buckets and comes up with a treat she has brought along especially for me, in gratitude for being included in the expedition: a bottle of Glenlivet single malt scotch.
As the fire flares bright and hisses and the rain turns into a steady, drenching downpour, we stand in the gathering darkness sipping single malt scotch and talking, sharing stories of the day. I savor the burn of scotch on my tongue, the warmth it brings to the belly, the calm that floats into the head. "I'm glad we capsized," I say, "especially since we were really in no danger, not really." Capsizing and being carried along by the rushing current allowed me to feel the power of the river in a visceral way, as a personal yet oddly detached force, the way nature can feel.
David proved to be cool and unflappable. I admit I had a moment of panic when, clinging to the overturned boat, being rushed along by the current, I tried to touch bottom and couldn't, then quickly lifted my legs up to the surface and rode to the eddy that way. "David, you were great. The whole time I was cussing, you were laughing."
David says, "Well, it was sort of fun."
Amy says, "It's not an adventure if everything goes smoothly, all according to plan. What fun is that?"
Everybody voices agreement. And of course she has a point — maybe even the point of the whole trip.
The difficult moments, the groundings and even capsizes, the out-of-control panic of being swept along by the current, the rainy night watching the water rise as we feel the rain pattering on our shoulders like drumming fingers and sip our precious cups of scotch, all serve as punctuation marks for the trip, transforming it from a trip into an adventure.
All in all, it has been a great day, a memorable day, and this is the right way for it to end: four intrepid comrades standing around in the rain making toasts.
We begin to see spectacular arcs of lightning across the river, white-orange and blue, and count down until the thunder reverberates. It's getting closer — six miles, three, two, walking its way toward us like artillery fire sighting in. Then, in a gust of sudden wind and a burst of splattering, heavy raindrops, it breaks full on us. Standing under a lone tree is not the best place to be, so reluctantly we scuttle off to our tents.
It's a restless night, with the constant fury of the storm outside invading my dreams. The tent sways in the gusting wind, as if the world is breathing us in and exhaling us, and at some point, the tent begins leaking from the uphill side. In the morning, we will discover that a runnel has formed on the bank above us and sluices down till it hits the tent, then diverts, leaving a pool of water backed up on the rear of the tent and scoring deep ruts on either side. But we remain relatively dry.
In the heart of the night, both David and Ethan stir at various times to check the level of the river and make sure the boats are still there, tethered to the tree.
But about that hour, I am blissfully asleep, rocking in the cradle of the river.

It would be a dull day in the MMA world without a Chael Sonnen quote. In the aftermath of the Lance Armstrong confession lies a little dispute between the bike riding cheat and the UFC mouth from the South. Here you go:
"Why are they calling him a bully? That's what I can't wrap my mind brain around. Lance is a dweeb, the only thing he's missing is the tape on the glasses and the high water pants. That guy couldn't get respect at the local Honky Tonk in my hometown. He threatened to sue me so I threatened to kick his ass and the whole thing went away."
"Look, I get it and I'm kidding but Lance did do some bad stuff and he was a jerk about it. Yeah, he hit me up with the whole 'I'm gonna sue you' routine and I hit him back with the whole 'I'll kick your ass' routine. That's it, that's where it ended. I thought he was going to go through with the lawsuit but he did not."

Two CNN producers are under arrest after police say they tried to break into the World Trade Center construction site.
It's the latest in a string of security incidents that have people concerned.
Both producers are charged with criminal trespassing, obstruction of governmental administration and disorderly conduct.
Port Authority police say they tried to enter the site three times Tuesday afternoon. A CNN spokesperson says they were doing a story in the area, but were not asked to sneak onto the site.
Monday, four men were arraigned on charges associated with this base jump back in September, which they posted on YouTube.
And last week, 16-year-old Justin Casquejo was accused of sneaking to the top of 1 World Trade.
The mayor says he's confident authorities can get security under control.
"I know that both City Hall and 1 Police Plaza are concerned about this situation and we are going to deepen our coordination with Port Authority Police to address it. It's obviously not an acceptable state of affairs, but we think it's one that together we can resolve," said de Blasio.
The CNN producers are awaiting arraignment.
The parachutists are free on bail.
Casquejo was released without bail.

Welcome, skip to the content.
Official site for Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
This week on Postcards, the team scatter themselves across the state in search of the latest Victorian hot spots, venturing to Prahran, Daylesford and Werribee. Shane Crawford remains close to home and checks out the freshly renovated Prahran Hotel, George Calombaris' new venture 'Gazi' and the Italian eating house, Zucca Rossa. Lauren Phillips visits gorgeous Daylesford where she takes a look at the reinvigorated Daylesford Hotel and a charming B&B housed within a century-old barn. Finally, Rebecca Judd visits the beautiful Mansion Hotel and Spa at Werribee Park where she is shown the heritage style accommodation on offer, before being treated to modern Australian cuisine at Joseph's restaurant, a beauty treatment at the onsite spa and a guided tour of the historic mansion.
Prahran Hotel, Gazi and Zucca Rossa
The Prahran Hotel has been given a makeover and the glam new look is proving very popular with both locals and those further afield. The hotel now has a large indoor/outdoor garden, a five metre long front bar and 17 concrete pipes that function as booths. There is a traditional dining room or you can eat at one of the big window booths that seat eight. There are also smaller booths for two and then there's the Half Pipe, for those who like to see and be seen. You'll find good, honest pub grub like salads, steaks and schnitzels, and there is even a $13 steak and parma special on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
If souvlaki is more your style then get yourself to Gazi, where you can feast on some great Greek street food. Gazi is the reinvention of TV chef George Calombaris' Press Club restaurant and its stripped back warehouse vibe and ceiling hung with hundreds of upturned terracotta pots transports you straight into an alley in Athens. The souvlakis come filled with spit roasted chicken, beef brisket, soft shell crab and duck. Team them up with some delectable dips and salads and you've got yourself a Greek feast fit for the gods.
If you love all things Italian, then Zucca Rossa is sure to satisfy. This little gem down Greville Street in Prahran is a modern Italian eating house and bar with a slick rock star fit out, featuring studded leather chairs and tables set with bling. The bar is top notch, the bar snacks are delicious and the full dining experience also hits the mark. Be sure to try the delicious roasted veal, the barramundi fillet with crab meat, or tuck into a share plate of pasta served traditionally to feed four people.

Daylesford Hotel and The Barn
If you're heading to Central Victoria then be sure to stop by the freshly renovated Daylesford Hotel. It's one of the town's most iconic buildings and is only about 90 minutes from Melbourne. Turning 100 this year, this old gem's had a bit of a nip and tuck, and you could be forgiven for thinking nothing has been done at all because everything from the classic curved bar to the pressed tin ceilings looks like it's been there forever. From the front bar to the lounge, and out to the beer garden, the Daylesford Hotel is full of cosy corners and sensational spaces calling you to come along and settle in. The old drive through is still going strong but the Bottle O has been banished in favour of a new Wine Store. There's a menu full of comfort food and country pub classics that you can enjoy in the bar, the beautifully renovated dining room or upstairs on the veranda with a knee warming nanna rug.
In terms of accommodation in Daylesford, you can't go past The Barn, a VIP Bed and Breakfast that is housed in an enormous century old barn right behind the famous Cliffy's Emporium on Raglan Street. It is the perfect place to treat friends to long lunches and delicious dinners, as the kitchen has been fitted with a big red gas-fired AGA slow combustion stove and restaurant sized bench tops. There's even a French style veggie garden if you feel like a bit of a forage. The Barn is floor heated throughout and two couples can comfortably stay in its two queen bedrooms and relax in the two lovely lounge areas.

The Mansion Hotel and Spa at Werribee Park
The picturesque Mansion Hotel and Spa at Werribee Park is only a thirty minute drive from Melbourne's CBD, and is the perfect place to breathe in some country air whilst enjoying opulent surrounds. Whether you want to stop by for lunch, make a day trip out of it, or stay overnight, this site steeped in history with its Italianate style mansion will cater to your every need. Enjoy a fresh cup of coffee at the café, settle in with a drink at the bar or tuck into a hearty meal at Joseph's, where Modern Australian breakfast, lunch and dinner is served.
The Mansion Hotel has three different accommodation styles, from their heritage rooms which occupy what was once a seminary to their superior and junior suites. For rest and relaxation there is a swimming pool, plus there is a destination spa on the property offering everything from an organic honey and cocoa body wrap to a 'Girls Day In' indulgence package.
Guided tours of the Mansion operate daily and you can also make your own way through the house with hand held audio guides. Rooms open to the public include the billiard room, kitchen and reception areas. To complete your historical tour be sure to book into the Societea afternoon tea that they run on the last Sunday of each month from 2pm to 4pm. This divine offering is held in the Library.

2014 Northeast Region Winner
Coatesville, Ind.
The Legans' operation is both 100 percent no-till and 100 percent cover cropped, which Phyllis says enhances soil biological activity and improves organic matter.
The Legans also utilize the manure from their large-scale hog operation as a nutrient for integration into their soil. Through drainage tiling, cover cropping, man-made wetlands and other methods, the Legans are also invested in smart water management on their farm as well.
2014 South Region Winner
Clinton, Ky.
Peery began no-till farming on his land after attending several field days with no-till pioneers Shirley Phillips and Harry Young, Jr., in the late 1960s, and since the mid-1980s, the Peery farm has been entirely no-till. In addition to no-till, Peery utilizes annual rotation, buffer strips and waterways, cover crops, advanced soil and tissue testing, and makes extensive use of GPS and other precision agriculture technology to allow for more precise application of inputs and collection of valuable data. This provides Peery with a vast set of data points from which to ensure he receives maximum benefits from the smallest amount of inputs and environmental impact. Technology is a key component of the modern-day operation for Peery, who started with a 1949 Allis Chalmers and a harvester with a 10-foot header. Today, Peery harvests with a cutting-edge tractor and combine technology.
2013 Midwest Region Winner (National Winner)
Gail Fuller
Emporia, Kan.
Gail Fuller approaches conservation on his Kansas farm with a heavy emphasis on soil health including continuous no-till, utilizing cover crops and maximizing microbes. He always looks for ways to reduce inputs. Fuller is working to rebuild the quail population and has added a livestock component to his farm.
2013 Northeast Region Winner
Roger Wennin
Greenburg, Ind.
Roger Wenning's conservation efforts on his Indiana farm include a commitment to soil health and no-till farming. He continually experiments with cover crops and evaluates for best results. Wenning has addressed drainage issues and made conservation buffers an integral part of his operation.
2013 South Region Winner
Jeremy Jack
Belzoni, Miss.
Jeremy Jack addresses conservation on his Mississippi farm first through water management, which then helps determine careful management of soil and nutrients. He utilizes one-pass tillage, input management practices and current technologies. Jack's farm is participating in a working-lands stewardship project.

Top of the Classless
Today on Tablet, James Kirchick on Jakob Augstein
What does it take to make it on the list of the world's Top 10 Worst Anti-Semites? And how did an obscure German publisher make the list? Today on Tablet, our Continental Drift columnist James Kirchick takes a look:
For Augstein, his inclusion on the list only confirmed his own previously stated claim that Jews tend to use the label promiscuously, as a smear against legitimate criticism of the Jewish state. Last April, when Günther Grass published his now infamous poem "What Must Be Said," alleging that a "general silence" had descended over Germans on the subject of Israel because "the verdict 'Anti-semitism' falls easily," Augstein was, aside from neo-Nazis, one of his few defenders in the country. "Grass knew that he would be chided as an anti-Semite, a risk taken by any German critic of Israel," Augstein wrote at the time.

Behind the Scenes: Spanish Sailing Photo Shoot
Our Senior Director of Global Brand Marketing, Camelle, got a plum assignment recently: she traveled to Santander, Spain for a photo shoot of the Timberland-sponsored Spanish Olympic Sailing Team. Spain, sailors, summer … what's not to love? Plenty, according to Camelle's trip report:
If you really want to see the lengths we go to to test our gear and capture images of our products in action, the following video is for you. Fair warning that you might want to pop a Dramamine before viewing.
It was a chilly 60 degrees Fahrenheit the day of the photo shoot, and we were several miles out to sea, as evidenced by the large tanker ship passing nearby. The swells that day were huge – strong enough to turn many of the weaker stomachs onboard, and to cause the mast on the sailing team's boat to break in the midst of our shoot.
Whoever said marketing is a glamorous job?
Through it all, the four women sailors we were photographing were calm and controlled and showed their absolute expertise on the boat and in the water. There's no doubt these women belong on an Olympic team.
I never thought I'd be quite so personally grateful for the Gripstick Technology in our Formentor boat shoes … or to return to dry land at the end of the day.
Check back to the blog for more behind-the-scenes stories and videos from Timberland's photo shoot, including one-on-one interviews with members of the Spanish Olympic Sailing Team.

Voiding the warranty
"I'll tell you the truth," a criminal complaint quotes an apparently inebriated Keith Walendowski. "I got pissed because my lawn mower wouldn't start, so I got my shotgun and shot it.
"I can do that. It's my lawn mower and my yard, so I can shoot it if I want," Walendowski told police.
According to the complaint, Walendowski had been drinking all morning. Around 9:30 a.m., he attempted to start his 21-inch Lawn-Boy - unsuccessfully.
After shooting the mower, he went in his basement, where he was arrested by police, the complaint says.
Police recovered the shotgun, shells, a handgun, rounds for the handgun and a stun gun.
Dick Wagner of Wagner's Garden Mart, 6075 N. Green Bay Ave., said shooting the mower didn't help Walendowski's odds of getting it repaired.
"Anything not factory recommended would void the warranty," he said.
No comment needed - enjoy your weekend in the garden.

Healthcare Consolidation Happens Quickly in Kentucky
Experts have been predicting consolidation in the healthcare industry for years, but it's never really happened on the scale the soothsayers anticipated. But now, they may finally be right. I know, it's a little like the boy who cried "wolf" to say that it's different this time, but I believe it, for a variety of reasons. Two announcements that came blowing out of Kentucky last month have convinced me it's for real this time.
Maybe you missed the early signs of a wave of consolidation in healthcare, brought about in large part because of the healthcare reform legislation that passed earlier in the year. I know I missed it initially. During all the craziness surrounding the November elections, it was easy to get distracted.
In this case, it happened in Kentucky, in two separate moves that basically divide the state into two large regional health systems, each with an academic side. Some would take issue with that characterization, but here are the particulars:
- Lexington-based UK HealthCare and Norton Healthcare, the Commonwealth's largest health system, have announced their intent to formalize a longstanding working relationship through an "alliance" to bolstering teaching and clinical programs.
- The nonprofit companies that operate three of Kentucky's largest hospital networks—Saint Joseph Health Systems, University of Louisville Hospital, and Jewish Hospital—intend to merge under an agreement approved by U of L trustees in November. They hope to complete the merger within a year.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Fred Jackson President/CEO KDMC (12/20/2010 at 9:26 AM)
I think the author better review their facts before drawing the conclusions from this article. University of Louisville Med. Ctr, financially strapped and close to bankruptcy for some time (this is their third partner affiliation in a decade, by the way, the other two failed), is merging with Jewish, also close to bankrupt for 5 years, all to be taken over by CHI. Norton and UK, not to be out done by U of L, put their clinical deal only together largely because U of L will put residents in Lexington at St. Joseph's, a CHI facility.If you know anything about the politics of U of L and UK, they dislike each other greatly. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECESSION OR OBAMCACE OR THE GOVERNMMENT.There is also a very strong question as to whether either deal will happen or ultimately work. You are drawing conclusions not based on what's happening in Kentucky. Get the facts before you print.

10 Surprising Things Men Never Think About
Learn why the topics you suspect are on your guy's mind actually aren't
By Jenna Birch
4. Your physical 'flaws.'
You look in the mirror and see five extra pounds, crow's-feet and stretch marks. But relationship expert Charles J. Orlando, author of The Problem with Women... is Men, says most guys don't notice these perceived imperfections. They see the whole package: the amazing woman he's chosen as his wife. "If he's concentrating on flaws, he's got his own insecurities to deal with, which has nothing to do with you," Orlando says. Also, if he says you're gorgeous, "believe it instead of pushing your insecurities on him," Orlando advises. "A man whose compliments fall on deaf ears eventually stops complimenting."

The Fantastic Tavern's first Lock Inn is a little like a normal TFT but will have some key differences; it's an extended programme, running over the course of the day and we'll spend much of it sober. Don't get too downhearted, it's still going to be fun packed, interactive (am I the only one struggling with the overuse of that word) and content rich.
A little detail perhaps?
The day will start at 10:30am with a breakfast update to The Fantastic Tavern's trends briefing. At the beginning or the year, we looked at ten trends and positioned them on a 'Hot or Not?' scale. You can see what happened here. Now, its seven months later and it's time to see where we stand. Are any of our predictions any more viable now? What's changed in consumer behaviour and how is this affecting the activities of brands, communications, services and experience? I'm also delighted to be joined by Antony Mayfield who will take a forward look at the future of 'social' - the importance of the individual, the role of technology and the measurability of always-on reputations.
You will also get an opportunity to meet other Taverners who have responsibility for online brands, eBusiness, eCommerce, content and technology. Assume that all this will be washed down with bacon, egg and sausage butties and plenty of coffee.
The briefing, over breakfast and will be special invite. Should you be there?
Then the main part of the day begins at 12:30pm. There will be three Taverns, each one hosting three seminars (another world to bulk at). So that's nine in total. The three Taverns will each represent a theme for the three seminars; Innovation, Craft and Effectiveness. We have brought together some outstanding speakers/facilitators and they will run sessions (better?) that include participation.
What's new in INNOVATION and how do you institutionalise innovation at work? Sponsored by Underbelly
The speakers are:
Michael McClary - Platform Strategy Advisor, Microsoft
Kathy Brown - Director, Seven Cs Consulting
Paul Dawson - Experience Director, EMC Consulting
The CRAFT of design – how to challenge your creativity and enhance brand through interactions? Sponsored by EMC Consulting
Tricky - Creative Director, TrickyBusiness with Ben Morris
Michael Alves - Senior Copywriter, EMC Consulting
Duan and Phil – AKQA
Measuring EFFECTIVENESS – how do you maximise the value of your digital strategy? Sponsored by KnowledgeMill
Antony Mayfield - the author of Me & My Web Shadow
Jo Robb - Head of Development and CRM, B&Q Direct
David Ellis - Head of Performance Management, EMC Consulting
And then there's the evening event. My ambition is that we host the first ever The Fantastic Tavern Awards. There's only three categories so it won't be one of those long running awards ceremonies and it will definitely not be black tie (unless you want it to be) or at The Grosvenor.
Why do you get out of bed? Is it to make great work? Innovative, perfectly crafted and effective work? Work that you're proud to show to your peers? Work that deserves recognition? We'd love to see it!
Enter The Fantastic Tavern Awards here.
A big thanks to Marcus Donald People who are sponsoring the 1st TFT Awards.
So a fun filled day. Yes, you can enter your work, as a brand or as a practitioner, for the Awards. I'll send more information later. Oh and if you're feeling really keen, you could judge them (a week before) and be a contributor.
And so to the most important bit of information; the date.
The Lock Inn 2010 will be during the day on Thursday 23rd September at The Dickens Inn, Marble Quay, Saint Katherines Way, London, E1W 1UH
Spaces are limited a bit so RSVP now to firstname.lastname@example.com. There are also 10 wild card invites available so if you would like one please email Michelle.
"Just take Apple for example - lets face it, everyone does"
Err..not everyone!!! :)
I am often asked "What is The Fantastic Tavern?" I have my way of describing it but thought I would ask

December 20, 2014
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) -- A Pennsylvania judge says mass murderer George Banks is too mentally ill to be executed.
Banks killed 13 people in a 1982 shooting rampage in northeastern Pennsylvania. Five of the victims were his own children.
Judge Michael Conahan agrees with defense attorneys that Banks is psychotic and unable to comprehend his death sentence or participate in his defense.
Conahan issued the ruling Monday, several weeks after a hearing on Banks' mental state.
The judge had decided once before that Banks couldn't be put to death. But the state Supreme Court ordered a fresh hearing after finding that Conahan improperly barred a prosecution psychiatrist from testifying.
Prosecutors concede Banks is mentally ill but maintain the execution should go forward.

December 6, 2012--Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL) announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.275 per share, payable on December 27, 2012, to shareholders of record at the close of business on December 17, 2012. The dividend is the Company's tenth consecutive quarterly dividend. While future dividends will be subject to Board approval, the Board of Directors is currently targeting annual dividend payments aggregating $1.10 per share.

These repurchases may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions and may be made pursuant to SEC Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

Together with the new $50.0 million stock repurchase program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to an additional $61.3 million of its common stock.
"We are confident in the overall strength of our business and its ability to continue to generate the strong cash flows that would enable the Company to continue to return cash to our shareholders both through quarterly dividends and additional stock repurchases," said Fred Kornberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Comtech.
Comtech Telecommunications Corp. designs, develops, produces and markets innovative products, systems and services for advanced communications solutions. The Company believes many of its solutions play a vital role in providing or enhancing communication capabilities when terrestrial communications infrastructure is unavailable, inefficient or too expensive.

The Vampire Diaries Caption Contest 15by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
As always, we'd like to thank all readers that submitted an entry for this week's Vampire Diaries Caption Contest.
It was a close call, but "Rosie Chase" clearly knows us well. Any reference to the hotness of Blake Lively from Gossip Girl is guaranteed to get our attention.
We've posted this winning caption below and encourage everyone to play again next week!
Stefan (disappointed): You're not Blake Lively...
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, Caption Contests
Stefan:Why don't we spend the time telling me how much 'fun' you and Damon had having sex during the pageant?
Amber: I broke up with Damon, jackass.
Stefan: What,why?
Amber: Dude, he was a vampire.
Stefan:[thinking to himself]I'm screwed.
Stefan: Listen to me, I will crack you down, crack you like an egg, then crack your insides one by one. You hear?
Amber: Say crack again!
Stefan: CRACK.
[reference from mean girls!]
Amber: Stefan, girls are like a beer. They smell good and they look good, but you can't stop at one. You wanna drink another woman!
Stefan: That's quite true, Amber.
Amber: No it's not, vampires can't even drink beer.
Stefan: But, they can drink girls. (reference to 'ts')
Stefan: For the last freaking time! Where is my grease and comb?!
Stefan: Do i have something between my teeth?
AMBER: The police are comming. I already called them. STEFAN: I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you and your musty smell of blood!
Amber:You know, when this is over, we should really have angry sex.
Stefan:(after thinking hard) Don't objectify me! (Reference to my 2nd fav. serie: SPN)
Stefan:(in evil witch voice)I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!
Stefan: Are you-
Amber (interrupting): I'm glad you got me out of that place. I hate pageants!
Stefan: Nope, not Caroline...

Virtualization with entry-level servers by IBM and Sun
The top players on the Unix server scene all include virtualization support with their operating systems. We compared two candidates from IBM and Sun.
Crawford Del Prete, Senior Vice President with the market researchers IDC, believes that every decade has its own IT revolution. The sixties were the heyday of the mainframe, which was ousted by the mini-computer ten years later. The client/ server revolution was launched in 1985, and the nineties saw the breakthrough of the Internet. Today's number one topic is utility computing, that is, the demand-driven computing resources provided as utilities just like electricity or water. Virtualization, which is one major precondition for utility computing, is the field with the strongest growth, says IDC. The analysts predict a market volume of US$ 2.2 billion by 2007 [1].
