Bening, Bale earn acting prizes at Golden Globes
"I've really got to give a shout out to Mark, because he drove this whole movie, and you can only give a loud performance like the one I gave when you have a quiet anchor and a stoic character," Bale said. "I've played that one many times, and it never gets any notice."
Bale seems to be on the same awards track as his "Batman" co-star, the late Heath Ledger, was two years ago, when he won supporting actor at the Globes for "The Dark Knight" on the way to earning a posthumous Oscar.
"The Fighter" also is competing for best drama at the Globes, along with "Black Swan," "Inception," "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network."
The regal 1930s saga "The King's Speech" and the contemporary Web tale "The Social Network" are considered the favorites for best drama. "The King's Speech" led the Globes with seven nominations and "The Social Network" dominated awards from top critics groups.
"Toy Story 3," the top-grossing film released last year and the second sequel to 1995's digital animation pioneer "Toy Story," won the Globe for animated films, making Disney's Pixar Animation unit five-for-five in the category since it was added in 2006. Past Pixar winners are "Up," "WALL-E," "Ratatouille" and "Cars."
"Wow, were you two even born when the first `Toy Story' came out?" "Toy Story 3" director Lee Unkrich said to his award's presenters, 16-year-old pop star Justin Bieber and 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, co-star of the hit Western "True Grit."
"The Social Network" won two awards, best screenplay for Aaron Sorkin, creator of "The West Wing," and musical score for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Diane Warren's "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" from "Burlesque" won for best song. The Danish family drama "In a Better World" won the foreign film Globe.
Sorkin had kind words for Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, played by Jesse Eisenberg in "The Social Network."
"Mark Zuckerberg, if you're watching, Rooney Mara makes a prediction at the beginning of the movie. She was wrong. You turned out to be a great entrepreneur, a great visionary and an incredible altruist," Sorkin said.
Among TV winners, "Boardwalk Empire" won two prizes, for best drama and dramatic actor for Steve Buscemi. Other TV winners included Katey Sagal as best actress in a drama for "Sons of Anarchy," Chris Colfer as supporting actor for "Glee" and "Carlos" for best miniseries or movie.
Colin Firth is considered the likely winner for best dramatic actor for "The King's Speech," in which he plays Queen Elizabeth II's father, George VI, amid his struggle to overcome a debilitating stammer.
Firth's competition includes "The Social Network" star Eisenberg, who plays Internet innovator Zuckerberg as he founds Facebook then falls into legal tussles with former associates over the Web site's riches.
While Firth also is the front-runner for best actor at the Oscars, the best-actress race could be a tossup between two Globe favorites. Natalie Portman has the edge for Globe dramatic actress as a ballerina coming unhinged in "Black Swan," while Annette Bening is the probable winner for best actress in a musical or comedy for her role as a stern but loving lesbian mom in "The Kids Are All Right."
The Globe ceremony traditionally had a strong track record as a forecast for what film would win best picture at the Oscars. But the two shows have split in recent times, with only one top Globe recipient - 2008's "Slumdog Millionaire" - also winning the main prize at the Oscars over the past six years.
A year ago, the sci-fi sensation "Avatar" won best drama at the Globes, but the Iraq War saga "The Hurt Locker" took best picture at the Oscars.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Today on "THV 11 News at Noon" we are spotlighting the eastern bluebird.
Here is a brief description of the bird from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology:
"Most of the country drives during an eastern North American summer will turn up a few Eastern Bluebirds sitting on telephone wires or perched atop a nest box, calling out in a short, wavering voice or abruptly dropping to the ground after an insect. Marvelous birds to capture in your binoculars, male Eastern Bluebirds are a brilliant royal blue on the back and head, and warm red-brown on the breast. Blue tinges in the wings and tail give the grayer females an elegant look."

Illinois marks Bataan Day
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
To honor the memory and gallantry of the Filipino and American soldiers who fought in Bataan, Illinois Governor Pat Quinn has declared April 9 as Bataan Day in Illinois, Chicago Consul General Leo Herrera-Lim said in a statement.
A Bataan Day in Chicago and in the Village of Skokie were also proclaimed by Mayor Rahm Emmanuel of Chicago and Mayor George Van Dusen of Skokie, Illinois, respectively, Herrera-Lim said.
Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan presided at the Bataan Day proclamations in the state, which were attended by some 200 government officials, World War II veterans and their relatives, as well as members of the Filipino community in Illinois.
In his remarks, Herrera-Lim told the guests that their presence in the "historic gathering" expressed an "enduring bond with the brave and gallant Filipino and American soldiers in Bataan."
Madigan said honoring the heroism of the soldiers in Bataan showed that "we are forever grateful and indebted for their incredible sacrifice to ensure the triumph of liberty and democracy over tyranny and justice.
Veterans Sidney Adelson and Cleopatra Dulay-Pactol were also honored with the Philippine Liberation Medals (Philippine Independence Medal, Philippine Defense Medal, Philippine Liberation Medal, World War II Victory Medal, and Philippine Republic Presidential Unit Citation Badge) and Certificates to World War II Veterans.
The Chicago-born Adelson, 94, fought in the Philippine Campaign from 1944 to 1945. His medal was received by his wife, Shirley Adelson, and daughter, Marla Cowan.
Pactol, 94, was a commissioned Philippine Army nurse assigned with the US Army Hospital. She was awarded the Bronze Star Medal from the US for "meritorious achievement in connection with military operations against the enemy in the Southwest Pacific area from December 8, 1941 to February 1945.
A native of Aringay, La Union, Pactol held the rank of 3rd lieutenant in the Army.
Among the estimated 200 guests were Filipino and American World War II veterans and their relatives, American Board Members of the Maywood Bataan Day organization, and Filipino American veterans of Post 509. Fe Zamora

Slipknot's Corey Taylor: 'I Don't Know' If Former Drummer Joey Jordison Will Ever Rejoin Band
Corey Taylor says he doesn't know if Joey Jordison will ever rejoin Slipknot, but he doesn't rule out the possibility.
Corey Taylor says he doesn't know if Joey Jordison will ever rejoin Slipknot, but he doesn't rule out the possibility.
Corey Taylor reveals in a new interview that after having time to reflect, he feels Jim Root's exit from Stone Sour was the right decision for everyone.
When you get to be an old fart, like myself, you've heard the traditional Christmas tunes 2 million times and you eventually get tired of them. Well, many of these songs I've got listed here are more of a 'rock' take on traditional classics. So, instead of kicking Christmas songs to the curb, here are some that will help get you in the spirit of the holidays.
Corey Taylor reveals that Slipknot could eventually tour without masks, but explains why he feels that that won't happen.
Slipknot / Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor points out some of the problems with the Grammy voting for the metal category.
Corey Taylor's 'You're Making Me Hate You' deals with anything and everything that pisses the vocalist off.
Slipknot's Corey Taylor opens up about his thoughts on the current state of music and ripped Gene Simmons for his controversial quote "Rock is finally dead."
After appearing in the film 'Fear Clinic,' Corey Taylor says he's planning to produce and direct a new movie, perhaps as early as 2015.
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor sat down with Larry King to discuss the band's new album, moving on with new bandmates, comparisons to Stone Sour and more.
Now former Stone Sour guitarist Jim Root digs deeper into the issues that led to his exit from the band.
Corey Taylor discusses his dark teenage years, his battle with depression and his attempted suicide.
Corey Taylor tells 'Talk Is Jericho' host Chris Jericho about the time he nearly joined Anthrax.

2015 Annual Fund Goals: $180,000 -- 390 donors
March 2015 Update: $127,500 -- 230 donors
Please make your gift today to help us meet our goals!
CVA has always been a place for those with the willpower and the tenacity to shape the world around them. Our students spend countless hours on the hill and long nights doing homework because they believe they have the power to achieve their dreams. Our faculty and coaches dedicate themselves to working nights and weekends because they see that same potential in our students and the opportunity, in this place, to unleash it. Your support fuels those dreams and that commitment. Contributions to the CVA Annual Fund touch every part of the school, providing additional resources to support our academic program, supplement athletics and to enhance our responsible community living curriculum. CVA deliberately sets tuition below the full cost of attendance in order to keep the school affordable to a wide range of families. Almost half of CVA's students receive financial aid. The ability to offer support to deserving student-athletes through the annual fund helps to keep us competitive but also maintains a culturally and socio-economically diverse community, which was a key facet of our founding vision and remains a priority today. As a CVA donor, you are an essential part of our community. Your experiences, relationships, and ties to CVA are an important part of not just your story but our story. Your support propels us forward on this path, your belief in our mission allows us to set and achieve these aggressive goals, and your gifts fuel our growth so that we can continue to be STRONGER TOGETHER. Please make your gift to the 2014 CVA Annual Fund today! Gifts of any size are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Secure online giving available at: www.goCVA.com/give
The CVA Annual Fund provides critical funds each year that are an essential part of our operating budget. These funds are used to preserve and enhance the CVA experience, allowing CVA students to thrive in the classroom, dominate on the hill, and live out the Big Dog ethos of always rising to the challenge.
The Annual Fund is a separate fund, specifically for general operational support. Unlike events, special project funds, or the capital campaign which are used to fund a specific initiative, the Annual Fund impacts every CVA student.
At CVA, our fiscal year is from July 1 through June 30 of the following calendar year. Our Annual Fund runs on the same schedule.
Half of CVA's students receive financial aid, and tuition alone does not cover the cost of a CVA education. The Annual Fund covers the difference between the money raised by tuition and the full cost of attendance.
In the past, the Annual Fund has helped put SMART Boards in classrooms, upgrade the trampolines in the AGC, buy slalom gates, paid for athletes to travel to competitions, and provided support for student activities.

Searching for Clues to Teen Girls' Behavior
The alleged teen pregnancy pact in Gloucester, Mass., created a media storm this month. The shock waves from the first report on Time magazine's Web site were global. Reporters from all over the world descended on Gloucester to learn more about the 17 girls, all 16 years old or younger, who became pregnant this past school year.
Gloucester officials now say there was no pact. But the cluster of pregnant students still puzzles them.
Whether some of the pregnancies were planned or not, the high number is not surprising, given the cultural shift in the image of teen pregnancy.
Just think: Who are the most famous teenage girls in America these days?
Jamie Lynn Spears was a teen role model before she became pregnant at 16 because she played a "good girl" on a TV show popular with young girls, "Zoey 101." And she's still a teen role model now, even with her brand new baby. She was all over the news last week: engaged to the baby's father, getting her G.E.D. and planning her future as a mom. To some young fans, it doesn't sound like a ruined life.
Miley Cyrus, another teen role model, had to apologize for a Vanity Fair photo this spring that put her in a whole new and older light. But that only brought the photo an even wider audience and a more sexual image for 16-year-old Miley.
The ad for the ABC Family series that starts next month, "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," shows a young girl about eight months pregnant. In the promos for the show, which is aimed at teens, she is described as a "good-girl band geek" who is "smart, talented . . . and pregnant."
Who says you can't be all three?
Smart, talented and pregnant applies to the title character in the movie "Juno," a teenage girl who speaks in witty one-liners and handles everything about her pregnancy pretty much by herself: finding a wealthy adoptive couple, staying in school, having the baby and moving on with her life. The baby's teen father is marginalized throughout the pregnancy, but they stay together. In the film's last scene, he and Juno are playing guitars, as if nothing ever happened.
Everybody, including the baby, seems to live happily ever after.
The movie makes it all look so easy to those who don't know any better. Juno doesn't get kicked out of her house, as some pregnant teens do. She isn't ostracized at school. No evident problems with grades or homework. She doesn't have morning sickness or any complications. Even her labor looks relatively mild.
Humanize or glamorize?
Was this an attempt to humanize pregnant teens or glamorize them? It used to be that teenage pregnancy only happened to "bad girls." But the cultural image of the pregnant teen is far more positive now, even celebrated. It's no longer something to be ashamed of or to hide.
In the same vein, maybe we shouldn't be all that shocked or surprised by the racy photos of middle-school girls found recently on school laptops at Pascack Valley High School. Aren't the girls just going along with the loud cultural message that sex isn't just for older teens anymore?
A prime audience age for the catty TV hit series "Gossip Girl" is 11 to 15 years old. Teen sex on the show is a given, and "bad behavior" comes off looking pretty good.
Record Staff Writer Leslie Brody reported last week that the girls whose pictures were found on Pascack Valley's school computers took the photos themselves or allowed them to be taken because boyfriends had asked for them. One educator attributed it to "poor self-esteem" on the girls' part.
But I wonder if they didn't see it more positively, as something that "in" girls do, so why shouldn't they?
Adults want logical answers that will explain the rush to teen pregnancy in Gloucester and the racy student photos because if reasons can be found for why they happened, then they can be prevented from happening again. All sorts of reasons have been cited, and some may have merit: lack of sex education, lack of parental involvement, lack of direction or other interests, such as sports. Some experts said it was a way to fit in, to get attention or to combat boredom.
A classmate of the girls in Gloucester told Time: "No one's offered them a better option."
I wonder if that's the way these girls see it, though. Maybe they just see what's "expected" of them and try to live up to it.

I have tried drops of my milk right after I have expressed it and it tasted fine. Recently I tried some after it had been frozen and it tasted really strong, kinda soapy with a metallic aftertaste. I only work 2x a week (fri&sat). So the baby gets frozen, thawed milk the first day and fresh milk the second day. We have noticed DS 3.5 months taking less and less from the bottle, could the taste be the cause or does this just taste bad to me? I feel bad for him, I almost gagged on it.
Happy Wifey to DH and loving Momma to DS1 4yrs and DS2 6 months.

The January 25 bus blast that left five people dead prompted some lawmakers to revive calls for a mandatory SIM card registration nationwide. According to initial investigations, a mobile phone was used to detonate the bomb inside the passenger bus.
Congressmen Rufus and Maximo Rodriguez filed a bill to regulate the distribution and sale of SIM cards, while Senator Vicente "Tito" Sotto III called on the telecom companies to register SIM cards.
The proposal drew mixed reactions from the Yahoo! Philippines Answers community, considering the number of existing mobile phone subscribers in the country as well as overseas Filipinos who are also maintaining local SIM cards.
User Nier feels that registering a SIM card will not stop people from carrying out a crime and that lawmakers should focus more on improving the government's law enforcement capability.
Jess B., who is also against the proposal, argued that this could lead to more cases of mobile phone theft.

What would a fairly negotiated, valid, equitable, and sustainable "compact" have done ?
- Guaranteed the Flathead Irrigation and Power Project the historical quantities of water, as beneficially used from 1946 to 2003, by Reservation irrigators, supplementing from Hungry Horse releases as needed.
- Guaranteed a mechanism for Tribal Members or the Tribal Corporation to buy back Allottments and the waters appurtenant thereto as originally issued to enrolled Members; via a purchased "Option" to match offers, a right of first refusal, a federal endowment fund, etc.
- Achieved orderly "turnover" of the FIPP to the Water Users' FJBC per the Repayment Contractual Agreements, which the feds have delayed doing since 2003, when repayment was complete and the "turnover" clause became effective and operative. A year ago, BIA grabbed control with absolutely NO authority, in violation of that Repayment Agreement Contract. That Repayment Contract is The Act of May 25th 1948, Public Law 554. BIA Corporation Broke that in favor of BPA Corporation ! Communist Marxism marches on NEARLY UNOPPOSED, propelled by corporations enjoying crony capitalism and dark money !
- Guaranteed sufficient quantified volumes of "instream flows" to maintain the 1855 Treaty purposes of the Reservation under all various weather assumptions so western Montana fisheries are protected and Tribes' cultural and traditional hunting, fishing, and food gathering is protected as another "beneficial use" ,and managed so well that no waters are wasted but rather beneficial uses are maximized on the Rez and in Western Montana, before remaining QUANTIFIED waters are "pipelined" via the lower Flathead River out of state and forever lost ( to BPA corporation, Nestle' Corporation's Arrowhead Bottled Water Division ( already bottling and selling Columbia River Water just below "the Gorge" – after the NUKE wastewaters seep into it from Hanford/Richland Atomic Energy Reservation, but labeled "Spring Water" ! ) , California, Nevada, China, Saudi Arabia, etc. The federal agents don't care a hoot about any of us in Montana, or on the Rez. It's a FEDERAL WATER GRAB!
- Provided a non-political, fully representative Board of Water Managers for on, and another for off, the Reservation. Presently the Flathead Joint Board is fully operative again on the Rez after having been torpedoed and sabotaged by Marxists. At least 2 of the present 11 FJBC water commissioners are enrolled Tribal Members ( Tim Orr in the Mission District and Kerry Doney in the Jocko District ), and at least one other is part "Indian Blood" ( Boone Cole is part Cherokee), and they adaquately represent Tribal Member Allottees should that ever become an issue.
- Insured local sovereignty and local decision-making, and maximizing of waters' beneficial use inside the Reservation, and inside Montana, with BPA Corporation getting what's left via "instream flow" "Pipelining" , rather than the other way around.
- Saved Montana tax payers the $55 million. FJBC water users have been paying for maintenance of all reservoirs, structures, measuring devices, and canal/ditch repairs ANNUALLY, IN THEIR BI-ANNUAL TAX BILLS!!! If any are decrepid now then a full forensic audit of FIPP and BIA needs to be immediately accomplished to see how our tax monies were actually spent. ( HINT = on personnel at Davis-Bacon rates? On "junkets" to Los Vegas, Portland, Washington, and down the Snake River with fishing charter captain, Alan Mikkelssen ? on replacing workable machines/computers/desks with new stuff so the "old" can be "taken home" ? etc.)
Why should Montana tax payers pay ANOTHER $55 Million when all Reservation water users, tribal and non-tribal, have already paid it?
- Saved federal tax payers the nebulous and near-worthless "promise" of $1.2 BILLION new money paid to BIA's bureaucracy . Why would anyone expect Washington to send $1.2 BILLION into Montana's BIA Corporation for any purpose when Washington is already $18 TRILLION in acknowledged debt, and more like $150,000,000,000,000.00 in under-funded and totally unfunded debt obligations?
- Insured a workable dispute resolution system for the inevitable problems/complaints that will arise. For example, a "Dispute Resolution Board of 3 members from the FJBC, 3 from the Tribal Corporation, 3 from the State DNRC, 1 from the federal government, and 1 to be chosen by those other 10; or mandatory mediation for 60 days; or mandatory arbitration, any and all of which can prevent costly and time-consuming beat-around-the-bush by a political appointee non-representative board, or "litigation" .
- Insured several means for enlarging water storage around western Montana and specifically on the Rez via re-introducing and protecting BEAVERS, via enlarging capacity of existing reservoirs, via authorizing small on-farm ponds and "tanks", via reforestation and regeneration of clear cuts and areas that might retain snowfall longer and store groundwater at elevations that enable "trickle down" that works.
- Created a new solar boost pump syphon system for moving Hungry Horse releases from Flathead Lake, from pumps at Big Arm out through "Big Draw", so that presently dry land in the Niarada to Hot Springs areas can go under new irrigation, and so the Little Bitterroot is once again a "River" .
- Added a clause that LIMITED federal reserved water to a QUANTIFIED amount and retained all other waters within Montana, for the Tribes and the State to agree upon, and LIMITED this compact ONLY to Western Montana, and including lanquage that specifically forbids it from EVER being used as a "case precedent" on any other ground or location but this specific territory within Montana and this specific Reservation, and listing reasons why! ( No other geologic land forms or soil conditions, no other weather patterns, no other set of Original Peoples, no other contractual reclamation project, no other set of engineering plans and accomplishments, and no other methods of financing, in any other State, are similar to this set ! )
I do NOT see any of these accomplished in THIS compact! It cannot be amended to improve it's acceptability and sustainability ? (That's what they all say, and repeat, and add to their 10,000 claims threats, because THAT's what Washington told them all to say !); Meaning it will NEVER contain any of these provisions and will remain FOREVER defective, and UN-SUSTAINABLE.
That means only one group of people will ever benefit – LAWYERS! Win or lose, the LAWYERS always get PAID!
Unfortunately, the governor limited the "re-negotiation" in his "breath of new life" letter late in 2013. In that order for limited "negotiation", he insulted both the Montana Legislators and the Montana Water Court by limiting SB 262 to a "take it or leave it" executive branch, lawyers' creation. (The Great Creator would have done it without lawyers.)
Unfortunately, the parties used the governor's letter as their excuse to NOT fairly or honestly negotiate with Irrigators, trout raceway owners, and other water users (like builders and developers) .
Unfortunately, the Montana attorney general ( elected because he spouted support for the Republican Platform ), became a RINO turncoat collaborator with the Marxist Governor and federal agents.
Unfortunately, it's now too late to honestly NEGOTIATE a compact that will fairly do what Montana needs.
Unfortunately, now its the federal centralized crony corporate control system and all its political pull succulents who will benefit, and most of them are lawyers.
Unfortunately, all three Constitutions are being breached and trashed, and every elected or appointed state or tribal or federal employee who swore an Oath of Office will commit PERJURY by supporting this SB 262 which will enable a defective, Un-Constitutional, corrupted federal water grab "compact" , "forever".
Unfortunately, while most of us would prefer a better one, the federal agent instigators have engineered this "divide and conquer" situation which cannot be amended!

Superplumes May Have Shaped The Continents
Two giant plumes of hot rock deep within the earth are linked to the plate motions that shape the continents, researchers have found.
The two superplumes, one beneath Hawaii and the other beneath Africa, have likely existed for at least 200 million years, explained Wendy Panero, assistant professor of earth sciences at Ohio State University.
The giant plumes — or "superpiles" as Panero calls them — rise from the bottom of Earth's mantle, just above our planet's core. Each is larger than the continental United States. And each is surrounded by a wall of plates from Earth's crust that have sunk into the mantle.
She and her colleagues reported their findings at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco.
Computer models have connected the piles to the sunken former plates, but it's currently unclear which one spawned the other, Panero said. Plates sink into the mantle as part of the normal processes that shape the continents. But which came first, the piles or the plates, the researchers simply do not know.
"Do these superpiles organize plate motions, or do plate motions organize the superpiles? I don't know if it's truly a chicken-or-egg kind of question, but the locations of the two piles do seem to be related to where the continents are today, and where the last supercontinent would have been 200 million years ago," she said.
That supercontinent was Pangea, and its breakup eventually led to the seven continents we know today.
Scientists first proposed the existence of the superpiles more than a decade ago. Earthquakes offer an opportunity to study them, since they slow the seismic waves that pass through them. Scientists combine the seismic data with what they know about Earth's interior to create computer models and learn more.
But to date, the seismic images have created a mystery: they suggest that the superpiles have remained in the same locations, unchanged for hundreds of millions of years.
"That's a problem," Panero said. "We know that the rest of the mantle is always moving. So why are the piles still there?"
Hot rock constantly migrates from the base of the mantle up to the crust, she explained. Hot portions of the mantle rise, and cool portions fall. Continental plates emerge, then sink back into the earth.
But the presence of the superpiles and the location of subducted plates suggest that the two superpiles have likely remained fixed to the Earth's core while the rest of the mantle has churned around them for millions of years.
Unlocking this mystery is the goal of the Cooperative Institute for Deep Earth Research (CIDER) collaboration, a group of researchers from across the United States who are attempting to unite many different disciplines in the study of Earth's interior.
Panero provides CIDER her expertise in mineral physics; others specialize in geodynamics, geomagnetism, seismology, and geochemistry. Together, they have assembled a new model that suggests why the two superpiles are so stable, and what they are made of.
As it turns out, just a tiny difference in chemical composition can keep the superpiles in place, they found.
The superpiles contain slightly more iron than the rest of the mantle; their composition likely consists of 11-13 percent iron instead of 10-12 percent. But that small change is enough to make the superpiles denser than their surroundings.
"Material that is more dense is going to sink to the base of the mantle," Panero said. "It would normally spread out at that point, but in this case we have subducting plates that are coming down from above and keeping the piles contained."
CIDER will continue to explore the link between the superpiles and the plates that surround them. The researchers will also work to explain the relationship between the superpiles and other mantle plumes that rise above them, which feed hotspots such as those beneath Hawaii and mid-ocean ridges. Ultimately, they hope to determine whether the superpiles may have contributed to the breakup of Pangea.
This work was funded by the National Science Foundation.

On my most recent visit to Nigeria there were so many new experiences, and the lessons truly were not few. I never know quite what to expect on these journeys, but my focus must be upon the Lord. I have learned never to anticipate, but to trust the Lord and take whatever it is as it comes, knowing that I always have the victory in the Lord.
This journey took me to the far north where all of the trouble has been with boko haram. This is the area where the church bombings and the kidnapping of all of those young ladies has taken place. It is imperative that I know, first of all, that I have been sent there. Once I know that, I will go anywhere and do whatever I am told.
This is what blesses me about these trips, in the midst of all of the danger, in the midst of boko haram and all they are doing, our God is still moving people are still being saved and delivered and set free. I look at it like this: Someone has to go, so why not me?
We cannot refuse to go because of danger. Danger is everywhere even in peaceful nations. People are still dying and sick. The key is that we must be sent — we cannot just go. That is over, if you plan to be successful in the Kingdom of God. If you plan to be used by the Lord, you are going to need to wait to be sent, wait for instructions and directions and proper timing. The one word that separates the called from the chosen is one word — obedience.
I believe in supernatural provision and supernatural preservation. Whenever and wherever I go, I know that there are legions of God's angels around me when I wait to be sent. I would not believe that if I just go on my own. Those young girls were kidnapped while I was in Nigeria. The bomb went off while I was in Nigeria. I was only two minutes away when it went off. And, if it had gone off three days earlier, I would have been right in the midst of the explosion — maybe dead.
But I was not. I belong to the Lord, and I am not going to leave this earth until it is my time. To be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. Now that is a win, win situation. I cannot lose either way you go. When it is your time, it is your time and there is nothing that you can do about it.
So many wonderful things happened in the midst of trouble. Miracle after miracle took place. The greatest miracles were all of the souls that came into the kingdom.
I cannot tell you the importance of discernment in these times. In Nigeria, one of the greatest problems is that you do not know who boko haram is. Sometimes they are in your meetings, they are in the government, they are in the military, and they are among police officers. They are high-ranking officials.
It is imperative that we are led forth by the Holy Spirit of God. I am a bottom-line person, therefore, it really does not matter where you are or what you are doing, if you are being led forth by the Spirit of God. Either we are going to trust the Lord or we are not. What is it going to be? The choice is yours. If you are not trusting, you are in trouble. If you are trusting, you are safe in the arms of the Lord. He said who can pluck you out of my hands? We know the answer to that, no one can.
I have the assurance that wherever I am, I am surrounded by His angels, and He is no respecter of persons. If He does it for me, surely He will do it for you. In the days to come, we will need that assurance in Him. The rage of the Devil is greater because he knows that his days are limited because Jesus is on His way back.

ice bucket challenge
No sooner had the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge started trending than social media marketers were trying to reverse-engineer it to figure out what made it go viral. It's been dubbed "the viral event of the summer". I've seen several write ups on how brands can apply the lessons of the Ice Bucket Challenge to their marketing and create the "next" ice bucket challenge (but to benefit their brands rather than a worthy cause like ALS).
Samsung even went so far as to literally replicate the Ice Bucket Challenge. But instead of raising awareness of ALS, they hijacked the stunt to show that the Galaxy S5 is waterproof, challenging Apple and Nokia to pour ice water on their phones too.
The marketing response to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge reminds me of the marketing response to the 2012 Kony video. It's tempting for marketers to think you could just add a "Kony" or an "Ice Bucket Challenge" to any marketing plan, as if "going viral" were an outdoor media buy or an FSI.
This is a reflection of the one-hit wonder mindset that many brands have with social media. I think that marketers who launch a single campaign with the intention of it "going viral" will be disappointed. The better strategy is to create a consistent stream of content over time, some of which may go viral.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge worked precisely because it wasn't engineered from the top down by marketers. It worked because the campaign originated with and was run by participants. The job of the ALS Association team was to amplify and fuel it when the magic happened, not to architect it. It also started small, without heavy-handed expectations that it would drive results.
Here's a cartoon I drew on this topic inspired by the 2012 Kony video.
(Marketoonist Monday: I'm giving away a signed cartoon print. Just share an insightful comment to this week's post by 5:00 PST on Monday. Thanks!)

Once it has been noticed that something has 'gone viral' it's my impression that it is already too late to try and jump on the bandwagon. It's sound advice here about doing the consistent work and then if something resonates, engages, tickles then that's a bonus. On Seth Godin's blog last week he mentioned that 90% of the people doing the ice bucket challenge were not donating which is sad. Interesting phenomenon though, bringing out lots of creative fun.
I've been expecting more awful, attempted hijacks of the ice bucket challenge. Hopefully, marketers are getting smarter than that.
Tom, another insightful and timely post!
Samsung S5 UK's ALS Ice Bucket Challenge ad falls under the tactic of "borrowed interest." In this day and time many marketers often attempt to take advantage of audience's attention to and interest in current events (e.g., the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the birth of UK's royal baby back in July 2013, etc.) or elements of the popular culture (e.g., memes like the Gangnam Style, the Harlem Shake, the Grumpy Cat, etc.) and intentionally associate their brands with these trending topics. However, when brands piggyback on the "borrowed interest" in their advertising, their messages often lack relevance or creativity or both. In some cases, such tactics even backfire. For example, American Apparel's and Gap's "Hurricane Sandy sale" ads on Twitter were received with complaints and criticisms (Stuart Elliot's New York Times piece: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/01/business/media/marketers-ride-the-coattails-of-a-storm-not-all-successfully.html). The lack of product relevance as well as the language they used in the communications led people to question these brands' motivation as being self-promotion instead of serving consumers' post-storm needs.
I agree with Tom's point about the long-term strategy of building brands' social media content over time vs. the one-hit wonder mindset. Even when trying to create a one-time buzz, Samsung UK probably would have done better if it actually announced to donate money to support the ALS.
Never underestimate the power of an aligned team driven by a purpose & a passion!
Engagement doesn't start externally- it starts internally, with an invested team that shares good ideas and collaboratively breathes them to life.
I agree with jhsu. Tom – great perspective. Keep it up! Perhaps the "copycaters" don't think how poorly it reflects on them.
Marketing, as you've so beautifully noted, is never about a one-hit wonder anything…something goes viral because it MATTERS to people. It can MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Period!
As always, love your cartoons. Your work matters to me!
For something to go viral, people have to feel strongly enough about it and want to be associated with it. Ice bucket videos say "I'm tough and I care enough to do this for ALS". Why would people want to say "I have nothing more important to worry about than Puff Crispies"?
Arguably, making fun online games that involve Puff Crispies might work. People are associated with their success in the game, and the game is related to Puff Crispies. But it would have to be an original game and a fun one – not an easy requirement.
Agree with much of what has been already said. I think there are some elements in a message that can create the conditions for virality, but of course nothing ever guarantees it. In this case, it's easy to do, there is an element of urgency (24 hours), you can introduce a personal quirk in how you do it and thereby make a subtle personal statement (in how you do it), it's entertaining & fun, it's positive & uplifting as a message and finally it has a invite element at it's core that is even more effective because it propogates through a 'dare' which is always harder to resist than a "try this" or "i am doing this, so should you" that often happens in ordinary referrals. Celebrity involvement, and in particular the initial concentration among the "tech" crowd, which is by definition more densely networked also helps of course. From a brand perspective however, the key to doing something like this is to focus on what the brand stands for, rather than overtly shill your goods, because people can identify with something larger than themselves, but will easily see through ham handed attempts to enroll them as free spokespersons.
AdWeek shows a list of brands jumping on the bandwagon of the ice bucket challenge:

The George Zimmerman Trial Got Even Weirder
There was an attorney straddling a foam doll. Also, the judge kept asking Zimmerman if he was going to testify and it got awkward.
1. Here's assistant state attorney John Guy manhandling a foam dummy.
He used the prop to describe the altercation between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.
2. Then he got on top of it.
3. Even defense attorney Mark O'Mara got in on the action.
5. And in an increasingly awkward exchange, Judge Debra Nelson questioned Zimmerman about his plans to testify.
Defense attorney Don West objected to the question three times, being overruled each time. Eventually, Nelson sternly admonished him with, "Your objection is overruled!"
Zimmerman said he needed more time before making his final decision later.

There's a pretty large segment of the Fedora userbase that cares about and is actively using Xen. And pretty much the largest contingent of Xen users are using it on Fedora. Unfortunately, this is an area where we've made commitments to users that we think it's important and I'm not sure that we can just drop it on the cutting room floor. > With KVM upstream, and lhype having far more of a chance > than Xen, how much does our userbase really care about Xen when there are > better (or at least more accepted) replacements? If they actually were to a point where they provided equivalent functionality, then it'd be something to talk about. But right now, they're just not there. It's like saying that we should stop shipping our current desktop environments for the one I started in my basement last week ;-) KVM is only _just_ upstream and isn't anywhere near as mature as Xen for fully virt (and it is _only_ fully virt). There's no support for SMP, a lot of real mode stuff has no chance of working[1], no work has been done on performance at all, the OS coverage is definitely less, there isn't a framework for paravirt drivers, etc. Also, our toolset currently has zero support for it. I expect that all of these will improve over time, but it's just not a point where it's a drop-in replacement for Xen's fully virt capabilities. As for lhype, it's just as not upstream as Xen and yet isn't nearly as mature in terms of having tools, OS integration, performance, SMP, etc. Jeremy

The folk arts get a new lease of life with Muttram, an association formed by students
"The first time we tried the kuchiaatam, we just ended up hitting each other," laughs Monisha Mohandas, a member of Muttram. "It's a dance of defence where someone raises a stick and you block it. But we were just learning them, so the sticks were going off in different directions."
Muttram, a theatre group formed by 20 students of the Mass Communication Department in Madras University, has been practising folk arts and socially relevant street theatre since November 2009, when it was started under the mentorship of G. Ravindran, the head of department.
"Muttram means a courtyard. In a traditional Tamil household, the courtyard holds an important place. It's where all the natural elements come to play — fresh air, water during rain — and it was also a place for the joint family to gather and have a place of conversation," says Ravindran. "Here, the group tries to extend learning beyond classrooms. It imparts important life, social and communication skills to its members. I believe learning can never be restricted to the classroom."
Muttram has performed in universities in the South and also at the Mylapore festival 2010. They have been invited to perform at the festival next year too. The group specialises in dying folk dances, and street plays about social topics such as child labour.
"We're a multi-faceted group who sings, dances and performs skits. In the beginning, our lecturers helped with the scripts. Another folk arts specialist trained us in kombattam and kuchiaatam. But now, we do everything ourselves. We sit around, brainstorm and script plays in a day or two and practise for a couple of weeks before the show. Our scripts change according to the issue plaguing a particular place," says V. Geethapriya, another member.
The group has also performed at Periyar University, at a Japanese workshop conducted in collaboration with Nanzan University and, recently, at a media seminar in Salem.
"It's been a pleasant surprise to see Muttram blossom. When the students performed in Salem, it was attended by delegates from all over the country and we've received many offers to send our students to other universities to teach them. These folk arts are slowly dying; it works better when students try to promote it, rather than professionals," explains Ravindran.
Venugopal, a student that the college has taken in specialises in folk arts and has been training Muttram in these traditional dances. Apart from them, he also performs the paraiaatam, which gets its name from the drum or parai that is used.
"If you can get a professional as a student to teach them, there's nothing like it. Venu is a performing artiste but he's also a student on our campus. That way, we're giving social recognition to a folk performer, thereby honouring him and recognising his art. That is what Muttram is about. It's a platform for artistes to share ideas," stresses Ravindran.
Keywords: Muttram, creative courtyard, kuchiaatam, folk dance

Are needle weapons strong enough ?
Posted 24 January 2014 - 05:59 AM
Courage is the mastery of fear - not the absence of fear
Posted 24 January 2014 - 06:47 AM
Hostile Acquisitions, which also has a dedicated assassin longlas, which is something like 1d10+3 E, 10 shots, silent, no visible beam and can be taken apart or set up in less than 30 seconds IIRC
See this is the kind of thing that crop up in supplements that irritate me.
What is the point in this weapon, other than being cool? It does the exact same thing as a sniper rifle or needle weapon (other than leaving a big hole in the latter case). You could have just taken a sniper rifle with a silencer and changed the energy type to E, and lo and behold pretty much the exact same thing, especially because in RT long lases didn't have the Felling bit.
OK, it's Rogue Trader, so "being cool" is more important than "making sense."

First off, the Cadence Widower is indeed awesome
On the HA assassin long las.
1. It is quieter than a silencer equipped sniper rifle
2. It is takedown
3. Some assassins prefer Las over SP (I had one who used only them)
Also, balance wise it really isn't bad. It is in between a silenced sniper rifle and a needle rifle and is pretty neat.

Engine failure likely led to plane's crash landing
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (AP) � Federal investigators have determined that engine failure likely led to a crash landing that seriously injured the pilot of a small plane in Rancho Cucamonga last month.
The Luscombe 8A was badly damaged July 18 in the forced landing at a dirt lot shortly after takeoff from Cable Airport in Upland.
The National Transportation Safety Board's preliminary report says the plane's engine died and the pilot was unable to restart it.
The report says the pilot managed to avoid power lines before coming down hard.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/1kmFRl2) that a friend identified the pilot and sole occupant as Ethan Gadis, who was hospitalized after the accident.
The final report may take months to prepare and publicly release.

Common crypto issue..
I have seen this more than once so I thought I would mention it here.
Calls to CryptProtectData or CryptUnprotectData fail with ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND or other crypto calls fail either in context of the user or the system. Part of tshooting this should be to check the following reg paths:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Specifically – the AppData value should read %USERPROFILE%\Application Data
If this value is bad or the value is missing, all kinds of odd things fail due to the process not being able to determine where key data is, or sometimes the system will fail to find needed data under:
\system32\config\systemprofile\Application Data\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache
A bit obscure .. but maybe it will help someone someday..
The hard part is.. how do you know a crypto call is failing since there are very few logs or events?
[Added May 10 ]
One more I ran into recently ..
PATH:"C:\Documents and Settings\JoeUser\Application Data\Microsoft\Protect\FileName: CREDHIST
Check the permissions AND the file attributes - should be writeable ( not read only )
What is supposed to create this key, if anything?
As I understand it, this key is essentially obsolete, and the crypto functionality should be calling SHGetSpecialFolderLocation.
I am runnig Win7 and the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
is created by default. The value in Win7 for appdata is :
The API you mentioned , I have not verified, but I would bet CSIDL_APPDATA queries this reg key for the appdata value.
Easy test , change the value and call SHGetSpecialFolderLocation to verify the return is the same as your reg edit

Ultra feminine lady (girly, "girl") is on a...
Ultra feminine lady (girly, "girl") is on a quest to find elusive chemistry: that which makes the heart beat faster and butterflies emerge in winter. My biological age is as of 12/29, 63; however, I was receiving too many emails from greater than the seventy-five year old generation. A brutally honest female who cannot tolerate halitosis and is in search of the man ahead of most, secure and NOT intimidated by women. Having an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, intelligence is an aphrodisiac. A top luxury is reading mostly non fiction to learn, as opposed to fiction to escape (of course there are timeless works of fiction I have read or will read); this is just a preference. I tend not to think out of the "ubiquitous box"; being multi-dimensional and well rounded, I think out of the sphere. Some descriptions of myself include: self-sufficient, non-materialistic (okay, I am about one percent less than most woman), far from ascetic, autodidactic, far from erudite. I can be a sesquipedalian, and love etymology. Being very handy, I can fix most things except my broken heart, which explains why I am on Match. I prefer the much finer things in life, like a clean washroom. PLEASE COMPREHEND THIS: A SEXY WARDROBE DOES NOT MEAN I AM A "FAST" WOMAN. If you cannot understand, have a narrow mind and categorize women, please move on to the woman you are attracted to. I happen to enjoy fashion, I am an artist, and I wear clothes that flatter my body. I am NOT a "Mrs. Robinson" (cougar) looking for younger men; I feel more comfortable with a man who grew up with I love Lucy and the Twilight Zone, and Jackie Gleason; an era gone forever that left room for imagination. My experience of sorrows and losses are replaced by counting my blessings which begin with my sun (son) who has lit many of my darkest hours. Most people seek happiness, as I do; "happiness is nothing more than good health and poor memory", Albert Schweitzer. If you are a sentient man who CARES ENOUGH TO ESTABLISH: FIRST AND FOREMOST, A GOOD FRIENDSHIP WHICH CREATES A SOLID FOUNDATION, we are in sync, FOR IT IS NOT THE LACK OF LOVE THAT CAN DESTROY A RELATIONSHIP, BUT RATHER THE LACK OF FRIENDSHIP. If a chemical attraction initiated the connection, then said friendship can explode into a depth that is deeper than the Marianas trench, and travel beyond the realms of time and space. I do not fare well with long distance relationships, therefore proximity is important to me. Men are the best thing that happened for women (after shoes of course). We may find places that haven't been built yet. I wish everyone the miracle of EVERLASTING happiness, peace and joy. I truly believe we are all unique, therefore, I do not believe that it is the gender that is the great difference, I believe it is the individual. Blessings upon all of you, even if you don't sneeze....

Youngsters in the city have always been fond of activities like music, dance, theatre and literature. But now there's another addition to the list. An increasing number of students and young professionals are showing interest in learning various forms of martial arts. While some prefer the traditional arts like Kalaripayattu and Gatka, others prefer to learn modern techniques like Mixed Martial Arts. We spoke to professionals in the city to know more about these arts.
It's one of the oldest forms of martial art from Kerala, and includes combat feats such as strikes, kicks, grappling, preset forms, along with weaponry and healing methods. According to Belraj Soni, who specialises in Vadakkan Kalari (Northern Kalaripayattu) and has been conducting Kalari workshops in the city for the past fives years, this is also one of the best self-defence techniques, which are especially helpful for women. This particular style places more emphasis on weapons. "I have been practicing this art since the age of 10. We are living in the time when women safety is one of the biggest concerns, I urge all the parents to encourage their children to learn this art, not just as a hobby, but also for their safety," said Belraj. Kalaripayattu is also a form of exercise, and the training aims at coordination of mind and body. This technique is very useful for dancers and theatre artists as it helps to improve posture, flexibility, balance and stamina, which are the basic elements of any dance form.
Another form which is very popular among the Sikh community in the city is Gatka. It is considered to be one of the most popular combating arts in Sikh Shastar Vidiya (knowledge of the sword). For Ravinder Singh, who lives in Yerwada area, Gatka is not just a sport. "I have been practicing this art for over 15 years now and have taught many Sikh groups in the city. Though it's a very old Indian art, Gatka has now started becoming popular due to extensive media coverage," he said.
He also said that they are taught to use the weapons and techniques not just for self-defence but to develop physical fitness, endurance, flexibility and agility. While the sport form is played by two opponents wielding wooden staves called Gatka, the ritual form is purely for demonstration and is performed to music during nagar kirtans, weddings, or as part of a theatrical performance on stage. A practitioner of Gatka is called a Gatkabaj.
Mixed Martial Arts
Popularly known as MMA, it is a combination of striking and grappling moves adopted from ancient, medieval and modern martial art techniques. It has become popular in the last couple of years after people started following UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) on television and web. As a sport, it is relatively new, but the concept of mixing various martial arts dates back to the ancient Greece. Today, the techniques, which have recently gained popularity in the city are contemporary forms that include techniques from kickboxing, Muay Thai, Ju-Jitsu, Judo and wrestling.
From warm-up exercises to full-contact sparring, this art makes sure that you utilise every muscle of your body. Unlike weight-lifting, MMA techniques make you use your body weight to increase muscle strength. This results in uniform development of muscles. What's even better is that the session doesn't drain your energy, but revitalises your body and mind.
City-based martial art instructor, Vibhor Kaul, who has been practicing this martial art form since 2010, said MMA not only helps in developing reflexes, agility and self-confidence, but also teaches us how to fight and disarm armed opponents bare handed, which in today's unpredictably unsafe environment, will come in handy. MMA has no age barrier, but someone who starts early will find it easier to grasp the moves. "Age will not affect the ability to learn the techniques, but strength and stamina might be an issue. While learning MMA, one must not rush towards learning the fancy moves without being physically fit or it may result in fatal injuries or even death. It will take a couple of years for a new student to become an efficient martial artist, but that can be achieved only by regular practice," he added.
There are three regional variations
Northern Kalaripayattu: This one places more emphasis on weapons.
Southern Kalaripayattu: In this, the stages of training include solo forms, partner training, long stick, dagger flexible sword and grappling.
Central Kalaripayattu: This technique places heavy emphasis on lower body strength and speed through thorough practice of flexible swords, only after which students advance into weaponry.

Mary Rodig
Hi Linda-
thank you so very very much, for adding a picture of the marker for my Mary Morgel Rodig, buried in Mt. Hope. (#8742142).
Is it okay if I make a print, and show my parents? They visited the graves years ago, and have a very tiny, little picture of the markers for Charles and Mary Rodig, but your picture is very easy to see the inscription.
Please feel free to email me, and let me know.
Thanks again!

RE: Memorial# 146760068
This is certainly Ruth Bessie Vourn's husband. His age and location match the 1940 Census.
Name: Vivian Gordon Macintosh
Event Type: Death
Event Date: 04 Jul 1948
Event Place: San Diego, California, United States
Birth Date: 24 Apr 1879
Birthplace: New York
Gender: Male
Father's Name: Macintosh
Mother's Name: Davis
Citing this Record:
"California Death Index, 1940-1997," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VP2V-X1H : accessed 31 March 2015), Vivian Gordon Macintosh, 04 Jul 1948; Department of Public Health Services, Sacramento./
If I find more information on this couple, I will let you know.

RE: Findagrave #120380122
It wouldn't be the first time a death record has misinformation. You should see the NYC records I have found for some of my relatives!
Ruth Bessie (maiden name) Vourn married Vivian Gordon MacIntosh on 22 Jan 1918 in Manhattan, NYC. I haven't found a birth record for her, but I did for several of her siblings. Her father's name was Barnett Vourn and the mother's name was Esther Pereira (several variations of spelling on that maiden name!) Her father was born in Russia and her mother in Manhattan, NYC. In the 1940 Census Ruth and Vivian are living in San Diego, CA and her nephew Maurice Bonny is living with them. So the information on the findagrave Memorial is consistent with this being her.

I was wondering if you knew the maiden name of Ruth Macintosh? I have been researching the Vourn family history and I think this may be Ruth Bessie Vourn who married Vivian Gordon Macintosh. The 1940 Census put Ruth and Vivian in San Diego, CA.

Dagmar Hopperstad
You have in your data base the resting place of Leroy Orlando Hopperstad. He was married to Dagmar Jensen Bjornstad Hopperstad. Her first husband and daughter are entombed in the Cathedral Mausoleum of Greenwood Memorial Park in the same section as Leroy. I am wondering if Dagmar also "resides" there. I have been unable to find any information on her burial site. I would likewise be interested in knowing if another daughter, Marjorie Howard, is also resting in this mausoleum. Dagmar died in 1952, and Marjorie preceded her in 1950. Thank you for your help.

Moscow, Vermont
Moscow, Vermont is an unincorporated village in the town of Stowe in Lamoille County.
The village of Moscow is said to be so named because of a large circular saw blade hung in 1839, struck with a hammer to call men to work (alternately to call a school meeting). The sound was likened to the Great Bell of Moscow, the largest in the world, then in the news as having only recently been unearthed after lying buried for more than a hundred years (the 220 ton mammoth had fallen to the ground while being hung in 1734).

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love It
Arrived in a timely manner and was of excellent quality. They even sent me 5 extra for free even though it was already a great price. Will definitely shop with them again.
Great quality
This was just the theme I needed to introduce my little rookie to the world. They made all the changes I requested with no issues.
Awesome as ALWAYS
We love everything we get from Magnetstreet.com. We have recommended the site to many friends who have ordered and whom love them as much as we do. Our newest order, "Hello World" was great as all their products and shipped out fast. Our friends and family love the magnet.
So perfect!
The hello world magnet turned out perfect. Everyone compliments the baby magnet. Great quality, delivered fast. We will be using this website again.
I was a little skeptical at first, since the price was so affordable for all that we ordered. When the package came in (which only took about 8 days from when we ordered it) we were sooo pleased with the product. Dont know why, but they actually sent a few more magnets than we ordered. We didn't mind!!! Thank you for the great service. Will definately do business again in the near future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
