Day 358: The Bedding
My mother-in-law and sister-in-law have endeavored to help me push through to the bloody end to get the Lodge finished. Of course, when we got the bulk of the construction done by Christmas, I thought I was off the hook and could relax. I didn't realize how many minute details were left to be done—details like towels, picture frames, pantry supplies, cooking utensils, paper towels, bar soap, towel hooks…and a small matter of sheets on the bed.
The bedding has been fun.
We decided the best—and simplest—approach for the bedding at the Lodge would be to start with layers and layers of neutrals. Then later, we can add in splashes of color using bright throws or interesting art on the walls. Or a vase of flowers. Or a lamp.
So the three of us loaded up the kids Saturday, headed to the big city, and split off in different directions, visiting places like Pottery Barn, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Restoration Hardware, Macy's, Dillards, and yes—Target. All of us were in search of neutral layering pieces for the six beds at the Lodge.
My four kids and I may or may not have visited a Starbucks while we were there. And I may or may not have ordered two drinks to take with me. And my kids may or may not have all gotten chocolate milk.
Yesterday we met at the Lodge and threw the loot into a big pile to see what we had. It was like fitting together pieces of a big, psychotic puzzle. And it was a miracle that after awhile, it all started to make sense.
I found a bunch of these neutral linen throw pillows at Pottery Barn. And even though they have a rustic look about them, they're actually pretty soft and pliable. Missy grabbed the knit blanket at BBBeyond, and my mother-in-law found the plush blanket…somewhere. I lost track after awhile. This is a king bed in a room by itself, and I think it's light and ethereal and pretty.
This was a fun throw-together bed, one of two identical queens. Missy found this gunmetal gray knit blanket, and we stole the chocolate brown velvet pillows from the sofa in the entry; they looked too formal there. Then, to warm it up we threw on some more PB throw pillows and a yummy camel cable knit throw that was on sale at BBBeyond.
Here's another bedroom of queen beds. Very simple: white sheets, natural throw pillows…
And really yummy, simple gray flannel blankets. My mother-in-law found them on clearance somewhere, and in the package they looked like gray flannel blankets on clearance.
But on the beds, they really came to life.
I should know better than to doubt my mother-in-law.
Here's the big king bed in the master bedroom. Just a bunch of soft knits in neutral, non-offensive colors.
Note: Please forgive me for not turning on the lamp on the left. If I ruined anyone's day, I'm so, so sorry. That was not my intention.
Note: I'm also sorry the knit pattern on the bed is a little crooked. I do these things, and I forget not everyone in the world is a haphazard freak like me.
I realize the bedrooms at this point are very, very neutral and need a punch of color. But the idea is to start out with a neutral palette, then build up from there. Photos on the wall, flowers in a vase, a big, bright blanket on the end of the bed. That's where the color can come in.
I could also paint the ceilings violet or magenta…or tangerine.
But I thought I'd try this first.

Love the idea of the nuetrals. Very smart! It will be so easy to add and change color. Can't wait to see how it evolves.
neonmouse On Monday, February 16 at 11:46 am
So Beautiful! Haha, no worries on the lamp or the crooked knit pattern. I did notice them both, but it didn't bother me…… I can't speak for others though…lol. Haha, the weird things that bother people…

These rooms look VERY comforting to me. I know your guests will enjoy their stay in these rooms. Keep showing us your progress. We love watching!

It looks very relaxing and lodge like!
Kara On Monday, February 16 at 11:50 am
I'm claiming the second bed! Love the gunmetal blanket!
lomagirl On Monday, February 16 at 11:52 am
Paint the ceiling!
Quincy On Monday, February 16 at 12:11 pm
Please stop apologizing! Looks great and at the end of the day it doesn't matter what I think. You're happy, so I'm happy this is your baby/monster! Thanks for sharing!
karen l On Monday, February 16 at 12:14 pm
perfectamundo! Now you can have a little fun with the color! If you paint the ceilings, stick with the lightest light blue. It has a barely there quality that changes with the light during the day. I used Sherwin Williams Timid Blue. Blue is a great neutral – goes with everything. Remember the colors of earth, sky and trees – everything looks great with them (God made it that way!)
celina On Monday, February 16 at 12:14 pm
Beautiful-Clean-Lovely!!!Love it!!
nancypants On Monday, February 16 at 12:14 pm
It looks sumptuous!
Kelly On Monday, February 16 at 12:15 pm
Beautimous. Colored-up throw rugs on each side and/or at the foot of the beds will give you good spashes of color
wanda On Monday, February 16 at 12:24 pm
Gorgeous! I would so stay at your lodge! It's perfect!
alli On Monday, February 16 at 12:26 pm
it looks wonderful!
rere On Monday, February 16 at 12:29 pm
the bedding looks so comfortable and inviting…
Debbie St.Germain On Monday, February 16 at 12:29 pm
I love the neutrals you used, so warm and calming.
Kim On Monday, February 16 at 12:34 pm
That's such a cool idea, everyone splitting up and doing their own thing and then putting it all together. Great minds DO think alike!!
Anita On Monday, February 16 at 12:35 pm
You girls did a beautiful job.
Mary On Monday, February 16 at 12:39 pm
Very serene and lovely. Good job!
PatW On Monday, February 16 at 12:40 pm
Great idea, and should work just fine!
Autumn On Monday, February 16 at 12:44 pm
P dub, nice job. Looks like you and I have a similar addiction. I am sprawled out on my stomach with the laptop on my bed which has 9 pillows currently. I have tried to explain to my husband, a brilliant man, the psychology of a woman "feathering her nest," but still he does not get it. My mom has very neutral bedding, and she has a grouping of black and white photos with cream matts on the wall. It looks very nice. But as a middle child, I keep thinking I want to add some touches that shout, "Hey look at me!" I say throw in a rust pillow and a pattern throw folded at the bottom of the bed.
gscott On Monday, February 16 at 12:58 pm
Looking good. Very inviting…
Carol S. On Monday, February 16 at 1:03 pm
Great job and wonderful choice to stick with neutrals!! You can have such fun with those beds. But looks like you don't have to do a single other thing to them for quite awhile. Congrats!
Cynthia On Monday, February 16 at 1:07 pm
Jeanmarie On Monday, February 16 at 1:20 pm
Your all doing beautifully. That comes from my daughter the designer. A trick she gives people in her lessons is to treat color in a room as a gallon or one color, a quart of another, and a pint. Of course that's a three color pallet. (spelling ugh) Never heard what she does with a four, five, or more pallet. (ugh)
Cheryl in WI On Monday, February 16 at 1:33 pm
You are LUCKY girl!~ And now I want to know what you all are planning to do in there and at what date, that even the in laws are helping to move you along???
Great job everyone!
Cheryl in WI On Monday, February 16 at 1:34 pm
p.s. So each room is gonna have one of those cow hide rugs, right?
DonnaE On Monday, February 16 at 1:37 pm
Can I make a reservation?
Tamara On Monday, February 16 at 1:40 pm
They are all so beautiful and peaceful looking. Cozy too. I love it!
ms martyr On Monday, February 16 at 1:41 pm
It's too late for this suggestion but I would have used some colored throw pillows, especially some with a Native American pattern.
kathleen On Monday, February 16 at 1:49 pm
They all look great and I think its a wonderful idea, approach with neutral colors. I've noticed that in a lot of nice hotels this past year they are throwing out those gaudy awful bedspreads and going with nice neutrals in layers that are all washable. I did my bedding like that this year, I bought all feather pillows off of ebay, six of them, cause they are washable, duvet with a cloud like comforter (washable) inside of it etc etc, I bought a fur throw to put down at the end of the bed, makes it look rich and lux.
Catherine A. On Monday, February 16 at 2:07 pm
Love the second bed with the gunmetal blanket. Super! (like with a french accent.)
Melissa On Monday, February 16 at 2:12 pm
I think that picking neutral bedding will make the rest of the decorating so much easier. You can go wild with color without having to worry if it will clash. Plus, it just looks so comfy!
susan fofana-dura On Monday, February 16 at 2:15 pm
This looks really good, It will evolve as you go along.
Bev On Monday, February 16 at 2:34 pm
You've got a great plan going there, looks really good. And your MIL and Missy are pretty neat to help, plus you all did a great job. Can't wait to see what you put on the walls. More of your art work, I hope!
Mommy of three! On Monday, February 16 at 2:38 pm
The beds are really pretty but if I ever come, can I just sleep in the pantry….I am in LOVE with it?? Thanks, I knew you wouldn't mind, you are so nice!!
tanyawebster On Monday, February 16 at 2:40 pm
dear pioneer woman..
i love your lodge. I'm coming to visit in May.
Annette On Monday, February 16 at 2:45 pm
LOVE those knit blankets…
Melissa On Monday, February 16 at 2:54 pm
Beautiful! this is the decorating approach i've used in 3 houses now and it has never failed me! I like to change colors often so having the neutral palette saves a lot of redecorating money!
Marie K On Monday, February 16 at 2:56 pm
Those turned out perfectly! I love the neutrals and the idea of adding splashes of color…and that little lamp on your final photo…I love it!
ann c On Monday, February 16 at 3:08 pm
The beds are beautiful. Great job, guys!
Lynne in NC On Monday, February 16 at 3:15 pm
Beautiful! love the neutrals, they are so relaxing. love ya!
Shirley J. On Monday, February 16 at 3:27 pm
Neutrals are so soothing and restful. Great choices.
Ruth Ann in East Texas On Monday, February 16 at 3:28 pm
PS….. Guys, I think she was truly kidding about painting the ceilings…am I right?
St. Fairsted Farm On Monday, February 16 at 3:55 pm
… Now all you need to do is learn how to fold towels into cute shaped animals and it will be a first class resort.
Val On Monday, February 16 at 3:58 pm
I admire all the skills to bring together 3 different peoples' shopping treasures into such designer perfect displays. You 3 are awesome!!
I lack the design gene necessary to put together anything that was not already found on a store mannequin or window display at a bedding store. sigh..
junebugga On Monday, February 16 at 4:01 pm
Thanks #243. I'm with you. I just hated to make others feel bad. So now they can blame it on you. It's amazing how some still believe some of her throw-away lines are the truth. They don't know how devious she is!
Oh, P-dub (don't read the top of my comment) I just love how the bedrooms are shaping up. The pictures in the photo section are going to look sooooo good on the walls in the lodge! You are the sweetest pioneer woman I've ever known.
Rachael Branch On Monday, February 16 at 4:03 pm
can you tell us where the beds themselves came from? love them!
Donna Mc On Monday, February 16 at 4:10 pm
QUILTS! You need some quilts…either on the beds or on the walls. Quilts!!!!
(Yes, I'm a quilt nut. But ignoring my insane passion for quilts for just a moment … I can honestly say everything looks fabulous.)
Susan On Monday, February 16 at 4:13 pm
The bedding is fabulous! Great idea to start out neutral and add color later. I like the neutrality because it keeps the lodge real and nature like. Great job!
Nancy On Monday, February 16 at 4:17 pm
Okay, I think I may be a lone dissenter here, but my eyes are bored. All your choices throughout the lodge have looked good so far, but the over-abundance of neutral is starting to put me to sleep. If you're not going to add a punch of color with throw pillows and blankets, where, then? You've even gone neutral with the sepia photos for the walls! Please, color, soon! Maybe some plants? Green would be especially good with all the browns so far, but I can see some reds, oranges, pinks… bright hues for good contrast.
Melody On Monday, February 16 at 4:24 pm
Love it!
cptwentworth On Monday, February 16 at 4:27 pm
Two words: I'm envious.
c On Monday, February 16 at 4:30 pm
I love the all neutral look … bright or hot colors (coral, tangerine, bright red, lime green, royal blue) on the walls and scattered around would look so yummy with any of those rooms.
talea On Monday, February 16 at 4:48 pm
The bedding looks great. I probably would still considering painting some of the bedrooms a different color (nothing bright, just muted tones taken out of nature: a sage green, a spice, a cafe au lait….
But it's not my house, which is a much more sad realization for me than you. :))))
Linda On Monday, February 16 at 4:49 pm
Nice. Very, very nice. And tangerine is my favorite color … I say go for it on the ceiling … what a surprise that would be!
Brenda C. On Monday, February 16 at 5:12 pm
Still think making bedside lamps out of a couple of old pair of MM boots would look great!!!
kathy On Monday, February 16 at 5:15 pm
Beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful, relaxing, classy, lush, and a whole lot of other words that just won't come to me. Fabulous job. I want you and Missy to go shopping with me.
Kudos! Just perfect.
mn On Monday, February 16 at 5:33 pm
i definitely like the colors on the first bed. nice soothing neutral, although i also like the second dark bedding. v. inviting. hey, good job.
Theresa in Alberta On Monday, February 16 at 5:39 pm
You are so fortunate!! IF i had ever gone into a Starbucks when my kids were in their teens, they would have requested as payment for being dragged on a shopping trip one of those iced mocha chocolate drinks with whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles that costed at least $5 bucks for a small size. Thankfully I only had to buy 2 of em drinks:-) Those neutral colors are lovely. Those beds make me want to take a nose dive and have a nice nap on them, AFTER I have done a though inspection of the room for snakes of ANY size!!! PLEASE tell me all your windows and patio doors have screens on them that are INTACT!!! I am very gratefull that it is too cold here in Alberta for snakes (and fleas/ticks) to survive. Between you and Bush Babe from Australia I have had the "itchy scratchy" skin crawlies. I may have to give up blog reading (NOT).
dksbook On Monday, February 16 at 5:48 pm
Those neutrals are so dang restful-looking. Are the beds tempurpedic? I'm not coming unless they are, OK?
Janet On Monday, February 16 at 5:53 pm
It's perfect! I know we all say to get some color in there, but seeing all that just seems so "stress-free". Maybe even serene. I'm loving it as is!
Terri On Monday, February 16 at 5:54 pm
YES! The neutrals are wonderful. I'm a neutral kinda gal!
Please – go with the zen like neutrals stuff! Warm, relaxing, toasty, yummy…okay, scratch yummy.
SteveB On Monday, February 16 at 5:58 pm
Oh, yeah it's coming together now… ok, don't be afraid of color just a shock of color anywhere… maybe some old quilts… and keep everything soft… nothing itchy and scratchy…. love the colors on all the beds….
lmarie On Monday, February 16 at 5:59 pm
I think it looks great. Some things I would think about:
side tables look too short
extra bedding for those cold nights (quilts, comforters?)
DebbLou On Monday, February 16 at 6:11 pm
Comment 263 was from me… my husband would hardly notice the bedding… I still think everything is looking great… just take your time and it will all come together.
e On Monday, February 16 at 6:43 pm
I absolutely love the look of every bed. Strange how neutral can be so warm and inviting.
Heidi On Monday, February 16 at 6:44 pm
Looks great–well done you three!
momomatic On Monday, February 16 at 7:26 pm
I was secretly begging you to not show us pictures of the 372 patchwork quilts you bought to wallpaper the rooms with. It looks great in there!
justrun On Monday, February 16 at 7:49 pm
Looking great! I do not mean for this to come across as snarky AT ALL, please believe me. But I am super glad that if I cannot redecorate my home and shop at Pottery Barn right now that someone else can. I live vicariously through this decorating, I tell ya.
Jerilynn On Monday, February 16 at 7:52 pm
Simply elegant. I like.
OneCowgirl On Monday, February 16 at 7:59 pm
As long as there is high thread count, Egyptian cotton, feather pillows…I could care less about colors!!
It looks great!!
Vicky On Monday, February 16 at 8:15 pm
Good job! Thanks for letting us "do" this along with yall. It's fun.
Nancy Hood On Monday, February 16 at 8:21 pm
love love love the neutrals and plan to 'borrow' your pillow idea, as it beats the h*** out of the way I try to stack pillows on a bed!!
Jennifer On Monday, February 16 at 8:24 pm
Beautiful, when can we come over?
debi On Monday, February 16 at 8:46 pm
Very restful, very inviting. Lovely.
I am craving a little shimmer (think silk not glitter)…just a touch here and there with an accent pillow or frame on the bedside table.
Carol SD On Monday, February 16 at 8:48 pm
Very nice. Nice bedding. Nice in-laws. Lucky you!
Jilene aka Nona On Monday, February 16 at 8:51 pm
Love it! Tangerine would be fun fun FUN!
Tammy On Monday, February 16 at 8:56 pm
OMG you need throws from http://www.babyjak.com
where you will find (and guaran-dang-tee this) the SOFTEST blanket EVER! Just ask all the people I have ever given it to! Get them in all kinds of colors to finish off the beds and your guests will never leave. Or they will steal them when they do. Trust me.
http://www.babyjak.com (for the SOFTEST BLANKET EVER!)
Baba On Monday, February 16 at 9:10 pm
I love this neutral pallete.
Roxanne On Monday, February 16 at 9:26 pm
LOVE the neutrals. . .and a deep, true red would look GREAT with the charcoal gray.
Misty On Monday, February 16 at 10:01 pm
Love the neutrals you all came up with!! Adding splashes of color later is a great idea! And you can change things easily later by changing the splashes of color!
Looking great…
Grateful for Grace On Monday, February 16 at 10:12 pm
This looks soooo elegant. I think the warm wood really helps. Hmmmm… we just moved into a new house and all four girls are in one bedroom together for the first time. You may have inspired me. I don't know, though. The deep dark color of the beds in The Lodge are such a beautiful contrast.
Now that I"m talking to myself…
… off to look at their beds and see if they could pull it off… I'm doubtful.
emma in Ft. Worth On Monday, February 16 at 10:15 pm
Love the neutral tones – and a bit of color here and there will be great. Never doubt your Mother-in-law or Missy as your design team…. I will gladly sleep in any of the beds when I come
Shanyn On Monday, February 16 at 11:20 pm
I love the warmth that you've created in these bedrooms..they're just lovely. Oh, and I'm totally haphazard too..I consider it one of my best traits.
Janet McK On Monday, February 16 at 11:36 pm
as a starbucks employee, i can officially say that only the best moms buy all their kids chocolate milk. GOOD FOR YOU!
also. neutral with color is my favorite! (large prints are on sale at mpix.com 25% off!)
lidia On Tuesday, February 17 at 12:11 am
Doing a great job!
Beth Ferreter Hennefer On Tuesday, February 17 at 12:52 am
I think you did well in spite of the everyday life that happens. I think I'd pay to stay there. It looks really comfy.
Denise Claire On Tuesday, February 17 at 1:27 am
I can't believe you all split up, but managed this coordinated look!
This has nothing to do with a bedding post, but I have to share. For those people who love books, but are short on storage space, check out this site. Bookshelves hidden in a staircase! Unbelievable.
Sara On Tuesday, February 17 at 3:13 am
It all looks lovely. The most important thing about beds is that they are clean and comfortable, able to be cool when its hot or warm when its cold . Too many cushions can be a pain as well. These beds look just right. Its an exhausting process so well done to all of you!.
suzinoz On Tuesday, February 17 at 4:55 am
Am I the only one who is curious about the logistics of this shopping trip? Neutral was obviously the guideline, but were you in contact with each other on cell phones while shopping comparing notes or did you just split up and then regroup with the hopes that no one bought 300 of the same pillows as the other? I'm fascinated with the process and the result. Nice work. Imagine giving the same task to your husbands. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Pat On Tuesday, February 17 at 6:29 am
Everything looks wonderful! I love neutrals. But I keep going back to the picture of the master bed with the crooked knit blanket. I really want to hop on a plane and come to straighten it out!!!!!
Jersey Lou On Tuesday, February 17 at 7:12 am
Love it all, especially those lamps! Where did you get them?
(Yes, I am OCD enough that the lamp and the crooked blanket will stay with me… Me and Mr Monk, you know!)
basketlady On Tuesday, February 17 at 7:18 am
Very pretty!
Glenda On Tuesday, February 17 at 8:07 am
Wonderful… It blessed me that each one was different. I love symmetry, But dislike repetitiveness. You three deserve another starbucks run!
Misha On Tuesday, February 17 at 8:09 am
You all did a great job!
Melissa On Tuesday, February 17 at 8:12 am
I love the quality neutrals. Color is so fickle it is nice to be able to change when you want and not feel guilty.
Dorrie On Tuesday, February 17 at 8:42 am
The beds are lookin' mighty invitin'!:)
Deah =) On Tuesday, February 17 at 8:43 am
I love how simple and caaaaalm everything looks…so inviting! Why yes, I'd love to stay here, thank you! =) haha I think it's wonderful and I can easily see the walls filling up with your lovely photography!
Deah =) On Tuesday, February 17 at 8:45 am
(oops..hit the submit key to quickly)
I can easily see the walls filling up with your lovely photography….black & white in the gray/black rooms…sepia in the soft brown neutrals…color in the others.. =)

Very nice.

WATFORD, England (AP) — Britain's young royals had a magical day out Friday with a visit to the studio where the "Harry Potter" movies were filmed.
Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry toured Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden near London, home to "The Making of Harry Potter" studio tour.
The royals, accompanied by 500 children and adults from charities they support, had a wand lesson, visited the Great Hall of Hogwarts School and saw props, costumes and models from the Potter series in the company of the boy wizard's creator, author J.K. Rowling.
William also seemed taken with props from "The Dark Knight" Batman trilogy. "I'm a very happy man," he joked after exploring the Batmobile and sitting astride the Batpod motorcycle.
Kate, who is six months pregnant and wore a polka-dot dres, smiled indulgently at her husband.
In a speech to Warner Bros. executives, 30-year-old William said he was "over the moon just to have seen the real Batmobile and Batpod."
"On the other hand Harry's just excited to see a real life talking owl in the Harry Potter studios," William said of his 28-year-old brother. "I haven't told him yet that Harry Potter is fictional, so please keep the secret for a little longer.?
Friday is the official opening of Warner Bros.' Leavesden Studios, a former World War II airdrome 20 miles (30 kilometers) northwest of London
Warner Bros. has spent 100 million pounds ($155 million) redeveloping the facility, where the eight Potter films were shot, into Europe's largest filmmaking complex.
It was recently used for the upcoming Tom Cruise sci-fi picture "All You Need is Kill."

Symantec Desktop Encryption - Install only Disk Encryption?
I'd like to install only the local disk encryption and omit the PGP email Encryption. The file that I'm using is called PGPDesktop_en-US.msi. I've looked into the various MSI switches for the for msi package and have disabled everything that I can dealing with PGP Email encryption. But, after installation, the Symantec Encryption Desktop till asks for for an email address and sends out a verifcation email for me to check. This all has to do with email encryption which I do not want at this time. Is there a way to disable this and only install the WDE part?
Matt Moore

It sounds like you have already been to this Knowledge Base Article, but just in case:
The asking for an email address/for you to generate a key, does not mean that the email component is installed. Even if you purchase the WDE only license, you still have the option of encrypting files. If you want others to be able to encrypt files to you, others need to have your public key for such encryption. If you generate a key for this purpose and want it on the Global Directory for others to use, the key must have an email address - the confirmation request sent by the Global Directory when you place it there, is only a confirmation of the email address - an indication that the person at that email address is the true owner of the key. It sounds like you should select the option of not sending your key to the Global Directory.

I have not seen this option. Is this after something that is selectable after software is fully installed? The problem that I have with the email verifcation is that directly after the installation and restart of the computer a window pops up that requires an email address. This means I have to have MS Outlook or other email client installed on the laptop and email set up for that particular user. I guess, there's not really way to avoid configuring a PGP key for the user even if we won't be using PGP email encyption in our organization? Maybe, I'm not undestanding how WDE works. I was thinking it was completely local as well as totally separate from the Email Encryption. Thanks again for you time.
When a key is generated locally, upon its completion, one is asked whether to send it to the Global Directory.
Are you in a PGP Universal managed setting? If so, this may be why you are experiencing the email address request upon the reboot. I'm confused as to why you need an email client installed in order to enter an email address in a dialog box.
Does it help to disable the option of Secure Email on the Messaging tab of PGP Options?
When you consider your issue resolved, please click Mark As Solution on the most helpful response.
Maybe some screenshots can help clarify the matter a bit more.
Firstly, Heres the msi switches that I am currently using.
msiexec /I pgpdesktop_en-US.msi PGP_INSTALL_MAPI=0 PGP_INSTALL_NOTES=0 PGP_INSTALL_LSP=0 PGP_INSTALL_GROUPWISE=0 PGP_INSTALL_NETSHARE=0 PGP_INSTALL_MAPI_PLUGIN=0
After I run that command, The software is installed and asks for a reboot: Upon Login, I'm presented with this screen: It asks me to enter my email address. I do this and hit next.
After I enter the email address, and hit next, I'm presented with this screen:
This is where you need an actual email client installed as it needs it to verify who you are. Symantec sends an automated email that has a special PGP message inserted at the end of the email that it reads to continue the process. I've tried just opening up web mail to do it, but it won't work. You must install an email client, when the message comes in, Symantec Encyption Desktop automatically notices the email, runs a process in the background and then deletes the automated email. After that, I am able to click 'next' on the screen above to finish the process. It will not allow to click next until this is verified.
I was hoping that I could skip Enrollment and Key Generation all together (steps 1-4 as listed in the above image), as I don't think that Email Encyption and WDE rely on one another, but I maybe I am entirely wrong. Or, I was thinking that maybe there's an installation file that only has the WDE section.
The reason that I am wanting this is because our help desk configures new laptops for our users. We are not using the PGP key email encryption. They also do not need a local email client installed and configured on their laptops as most of them use webmail. We also do not have access to their email addresses in order to setup and verify their accounts. They do however, need WDE. So, for those reasons and in the interest of lessing the time it takes to configure these laptops, it would be nice to not have install this section of the software. --
Thanks again for you time. I hope this answers you questions.
Are you using AD and a Universal Server for management? You can use the Directory Synchronization for enrollment instead. This way the user enters their credentials instead of an email address. This needs to be configured at the Universal Server.
You can also enable silent enrollment using this method too.

Director Cat Austin, founder of the Experiential Theater Company, has had her share of triumphs on the Sonoma stage, including last year's "Cabaret," voted Best Live Production in The Sun Readers Poll. But with the upcoming musical "The Full Monty," the bar has been raised.
"With this production, ETC! is taking a major step toward bringing regional theatre to downtown Sonoma," she said. The show features a cast and crew with national credentials: a Broadway star; a performer from the "Bye Bye Birdie" national tour; an award-winning Actors Equity performer reprising his "Full Monty role;" a musical director fresh from the Broadway production of "Motown the Musical" and "Wicked," and more.
"I'm so excited for the cast and crew we've assembled," said Austin. "It's the first time I've produced a show in which four of the actors have played their roles before and at such a high level."
Premiering May 31 at the Sebastiani Theatre for a gala fundraising performance, "The Full Monty" joins the summer series of Sonoma Theatre Alliance shows, June 7-29 at the Andrews Hall.
The veteran actors have a breadth of knowledge that fits perfectly with what Autsin calls her "think tank" style of directing. "I require my actors to bring their ideas forward, so we have all of this amazing creative input, and my job as director is not to harness it but somehow channel it." The result, she said, "is a show that is so much bigger than the sum of its parts."
"Cat's an actors director," said Brooke Tansley, who play Georgie. Tansley starred as Belle on Broadway's "Beauty and the Beast," performed in the original cast of "Hairspray," and has been seen in Transcendence Theatre Company's Broadway Under the Stars.
"It's what every actor hopes for," Tansely said." We've been having great rehearsals and I can tell you, it's going to be magic."
Based on the Oscar-winning film, the musical follows a group of unemployed steel workers who resort to a creative and revealing scheme to raise money.
Audience members come to the theatre in full anticipation of that famous final moment, but the play goes much deeper. Austin calls it deep a heartfelt ride about the many aspects of relationships, "and what drives us to do anything and everything we possibly can to keep love in our lives."
The May 31 gala performance is a benefit for the Sebastiani Theatre Foundation, Inc., with all proceeds going to the foundation. "This is not about ETC!," said Austin. "This is about supporting something else, supporting a theater space that is threatened, and if something isn't done, it's going to slip away."
Tickets are $175 for VIP seats and $100 for floor seats. An opening night gala will be held and VIPs will enjoy a red carpet entrance, premium seats and a wine and cheese party on stage with the cast after the show, plus other surprises… including cameo "Monties" by local notables, including Mayor Tom Rouse, Mike Benziger and more.
For information and tickets to the gala, and the June 7-29 run at Andrews Hall, contact 938.4626 or Svbo.org.

Pretty Okay!! Nothing Great!! You gous need to buck up!
So me and my cousins headed here to grab some supposedly great food most of them being non-vegetarians). The restaurant didn't look like much, just an old plain jane kind of place. In terms of food, I cant speak for the non-vegetarians, but they told me that the hyderabadi biryani and chicken biryani was nothing great. They've eaten there before and said that it used to be much better. As for me, the vegetarian biryani was too simple to be called a biryani. Barely any flavors and in terms of the look of the biryani, at first sight i thought that it was some other tables pulao or something like that. However, the Paneer tikka masala was too good and the roti was soft and nice.
As far as service goes, the head table attendants (the ones in suits) didnt seem to give a damn. Their attitudes were careless and barely paid any attention to us, being a table of 9. We had to call them three to four times just to get their attention, and mind you this wasn't a vary busy day at the restaurant.
Overall experience was just alright.
Went there for a lunch buffet on the top floor with my friends and had very bad experience. We were so hungry, but there was no food to eat. There were like 20 people waiting for the food to arrive. They would bring roti and curry like 10 minutes apart, but never together. When complained the person who serve there told us, management isn't providing enough for us to serve here. Since we were hungry and already had paid, just ate little bit of whatever we could get and demanded to meet their manager. Manager was so rude and didn't have patience to listen to us and told us to do whatever we want and that he doesn't care. I reminded him about what we (customers) could do these days with internet. So is this review.

No More the Same as Good Old Days
As other sgheeru pointed out, it is nowhere near the quality of of say 6/7 years back. I remember back in 2007 the executive lunch used to cost some where around 90 Rs, and the menu was so big that, waiters used to wait for you clear the table after eating few kebabs so that they can place some other dishes like Ghee rice and Fruit salad etc. And it was always that I had to leave the table with not being able to finish all the items. Now had it just couple of months earlier, the menu is at least fifty percent short sized, the food is no more that tasty anymore, ..dishes are so oily that sometimes it feels road side karts selling non veg chat items to accompany drink.
Waiters are busy to push some non necessary thing like bottled water when you just try to finish your meal fast paced to leave the smelly place. They are still much better in non veg menu than many more in grill items, but just average in others.

The King Of Kebabs
I am a big time foodie and non-vegetarian. What better place than Empire to satisfy your hunger. I personally feel Empire provides one of the most authentic non-vegetarian food in the town. Chicken Kabab and Chicken Biryani is the best you will get in any of the restaurants. No wonder the place is crowded evertime I go there, whether a weekday or a weekend.
Avoid if you can else order carefully
Beware of Empire Church St.
Do not mistake this for the original empire, it is way below expectations compared to Indiranagar Empire. Food quality, price, service everything is way below expectation. It is no where near to value for money. On the contrary it is looting, after spending so much you get poor quality food and bad service.
Please do not go there if you want to enjoy your day and have nice time and food.

Pathetic & indifferent service put you off!
I know as an experienced foodie that for good food and hidden finds, you need to endure parking woes, overlook hygiene and indifferent to rude customer service. But with respect to Empire, its a tad too much. It is one thing to be indifferent and altogether different to be rude and dismissive. We customers pay good money for the food we consume and at least are entitled to some service. I guess its a case of excess demand for this joint.
Food wise, nothing out of the ordinary. I mean, you get much better quality fair in classier joints like Shezaan, Imperial, Taj, Richies etc. So dunno why people rave about it. Must be those first time non veg eaters!

Grilled Chicken specialty is questionable
I love slow roasted chicken. In the US it's called rotisserrie-style and it takes hours at a low temperature with frequent turning to perfect. The grilled chicken at Empire was cooked by the front entrance on busy Church St. (not sure how sanitary that is but I do know you get lots of cars and pollution). Then sadly the chicken was very dry and overcooked. The non-veg thali was good and I would recommend that instead.
For under Rs. 300 for 2 dinners I'm not complaining about the overall experience and I'll probably be back.
Decent Ambience; Great food!
I have always wondered privately why the govt. insists on closing restaurants at 11 and make us all play Cinderella. The Empire is probably one of the few restaurants in Bangalore that stays open late and gives people like me a proper chance to catch some food if I am working late.
The kababs here are very different in that they are deep fried! Great tasting, though at the cost of increasing your cholestrol level. Biryani is average but the Brain fry is good. Service is businesslike and brusque (sometimes) though fairly efficient. At this restaurant, you go to feed yourself; no more! no less!
The large crowds that throng the place speak volumes about the quality of the food and the appreciation of the general public.
Long live the Empire and may your tribe increase!!

Midnight food for thought
Wel, the only time i've eer gone to this Empire is post mid night. The place is generally open till 4 am on Saturdays, 2 am on other days.
Stuff you should not miss here
1. Chicken Kebabs
2. Brain Fry
3. Dosa Kheema
4. Kerala Parotha with Butter Chicken
5. Grilled Chicken
Also has a bunch of nice combo meals!!
Crowd: Though it serves the mid night crowd, everyone is minding their own business stuffing their faces, so you never have to worry about problems.
The ambience is....well, decent. Nothing great, but good lighting and the wood panelling give it a nice comfort feel.
The staff, is always busy, might not be the best service always. On a good day, you'll have good food in no time, on bad days, I've had to wait up to 20 minutes to place an order
Best place for satisfying those late night "munches" you get.

Step into your Halloween party today by stepping into character.
On Halloween, are you going dressed up as the regular ghosts and ghouls, or do you want a twist to your costume? This past week, it must have been difficult to avoid vampire capes and the not-so-scary skeleton masks hanging outside stores. Even vendors at traffic lights, who are clueless about the festival (logon ne maangna shuru kiya hai toh hum bech rahe hain), are geared up with devil horns, which are so last to last season.
But now, it's all about getting over the cheesy and not-so-scary, and stepping into character. From the super cool Psy to the sexy and dangerous Christian Grey, we went looking for the looks that are hot for Halloween this year.
The Korean Gangnam Style sensation is number one on all Halloween must-dress lists. Gelled hair, black aviators and a buttoned blazer, and you're good to go. But you cannot be Psy without the swag. So don't forget to perfect your moves, especially the horse riding one, before you step on the dance floor.
50 Shades of Grey
Even as Hollywood hunts for the perfect Christian and Anastasia, Halloween revelers are readying for their night of role-play. Damsels planning to be Ana, all you need is a dress all shades grey, sky-high heels and a sequined mask (remember the ball they attended?), while Christian wannabes need a sexy grey suit and a grey tie, of course. Amrita Sahni, who owns a boutique in Green Park, says, "Many girls came to me with black sequinned kapda pieces to make an eye mask. Initially, I thought it was for some play, but then somebody told me about costume parties. I think they'll look great with LBDs."
P.S. The accessory that drives home the point is handcuffs, but make sure it's classy. Furry ones are a no-no!
Superhero funk
2012 was the year of superheroes, with The Avengers, Spiderman 4 and The Dark Knight Rises getting record openings. Aditya Kapur from Party Hunterz told us, "People have been asking for all kinds of superhero costumes. We have an Iron Man kid costume and the Superman and Dark Knight suits which are this year's favourites." And it's not just for the guys. Like Penny from The Big Bang Theory, girls can go old school with the Wonder Woman costume available in these stores.
One couple that refuses to leave us alone is Kim Kardarshian and Kanye West, and so, they're top of the list for couples, if you're over the bacon-and-cheese or Adam and Eve costume, that is. Match the colours of your clothes, and if you have leather pants, there'll be no better excuse to get away with them but Halloween. Add fake bling and you'll look inseparable.
Switching sexes can make you stand out too. The guys just need to bring out Kims' best features, while Girl Kanyes can pose as expressionlessly as possible.
Honey Boo Boo
The kid might be the most irritating reality TV star in a long time, but isn't that the perfect criterion for a Halloween costume? Dig into your old wardrobe for a frilly dress, wear a high ponytail and lots of screaming and shouting - a dolla makes Honey Boo Boo... and you know the rest.

Trauma and the Brain ...
... A brief look at how trauma can cause physiological changes in brain structure and chemistry
By Jodi S. W. Campbell, MS, Supervisor of Public Education, Clinical Training and Development, KidsPeace Institute
Approximately six million children are referred to child welfare agencies due to suspected child abuse in the United States annually, according to 2008 CDC statistics. Such childhood trauma has profound and often prolonged effects. Trauma, however, comes in other forms besides child abuse, and some of the most concerning of our times include chronic and systemic community violence and the threat of war and terror. A large proportion of children receiving services are victims of trauma in some way. It is imperative that professionals working with children understand the increasing pressures facing youth today. Furthermore, it is our responsibility to understand their circumstances and the potential problems that may be related to their traumatic experiences.Sometimes, traumatic events are isolated and short-lived. These are often followed by a period of relative stability during which there is no additional trauma. For events like these, it is normal for a person to experience transient trauma symptoms (immediate or delayed onset) such as disrupted sleeping and eating patterns, for a temporary period of time. In contrast, childhood trauma, severe personal trauma and/or prolonged abusive or traumatic conditions can have far more troubling and long-lasting effects.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>There are three overall effects of childhood trauma. The first two, developmental stagnation and behavior problems, are both often and thoroughly discussed. But we must remember that there are also distinct physiological changes, particularly in a child's brain structure and chemistry, which occur in the case of childhood trauma. Some of what is happening developmentally and behaviorally has its roots deep in the limbic system. Professionals who are working with traumatized youth need to understand the basics of these changes in the brain. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lack of attachment in infancy can result in physical structural damage on the amygdala and limbic functions, as seen in lesion studies. Childhood trauma in the form of neglect and/or abuse can cause neurobiological changes in the amygdala, septal nuclei and hippocampus. Studies show that these areas are stunted and smaller, and, depending on how other areas of the brain are affected, this can have wide-ranging effects, according to Dr. R. Joseph. Infants exposed to extreme levels of arousal (corticotropin, noradrenaline, adrenaline levels in the brain) – too low in case of neglect, too high in case of abuse – experience an extended period of negative emotional state, overall disorganization and the de-regulation of homeostasis. This was discussed in studies by A. Schore in 2001 and M. Solomon and D. Siegel in 2003."The single most significant distinguishing feature of all nervous tissue – of neurons – is that they are designed to change in response to external signals," wrote Bruce Perry, et al., in a 1995 article in Infant Mental Health Journal. This is what allows the organism to survive, and it is also the reason why trauma can damage structures/processes in the brain. Research shows that neurochemical changes in the brain occur as a result of trauma and as evidenced in autonomic or behavioral symptoms such as elevated heart rate, changes in blood pressure, changes in norepinephrine and epinephrine levels, the storage of emotional memories and behaviors associated with fear and anxiety, according to E. Osuch et al., in 2004. Epinephrine levels in cooperation with the amygdala assist in the storage of intensely experienced memories in the hippocampus. Implicit memories (those that are difficult to describe but are easily "felt" or "known") are stored differently from regular memories (those that can be recalled easily and told as a story) and appear to be stored in different sides of the limbic system, J. Bacon explained in June 2008. Traumatic memories are often stored as implicit memories, especially those that occurred early in life. The amygdala is involved in the process of how these memories are categorized and stored. Exposure to trauma (particularly chronic exposure) not only has an effect on emotional regulation processes in the brain, but also on the ability to process the memories of those events. The unnatural storage of traumatic memory has an impact on one's ability to handle future exposure to adverse situations. The circuits in the brain are less connected to the frontal lobes, where thinking and considering can mitigate the emotional reaction, leaving the amygdala on its own to evaluate the threat, J. Bacon added. Without the mitigating effects of executive functioning, the limbic system activates fight/flight response in the brain stem, causing an inability to regulate or cope with an overwhelming flood of emotion. The differences between a typical response in the brain to stimulus and the responses of a traumatized brain include:Normal Stimulus Response vs. Trauma ReactionInformation comes into the brain from various sensory organs and usually enters the Thalamus region. The Thalamus asks itself, "Is this a threat?" The Prefrontal Cortex and other cortical, or "thinking" areas of the brain, then considers this new information and asks itself, "Have I ever experienced this before? What is the best thing to do? What might the consequences be?" After processing the information, the Prefrontal Cortex sends a signal to the Amygdala, which provides a measure of emotional output that is appropriate, based on the analysis of the Prefrontal Cortex. This experience is then carefully stored in the Hippocampus. The brain stem may never be activated at all (or minimally activated) depending on the experience.Reaction to Stimulus in a Traumatized BrainInformation comes into the brain from various sensory organs, and the Thalmus assesses if there is a present threat. Immediately, things begin functioning differently than in a typical brain. Past trauma experiences trigger a trauma reaction in the brain, which causes the Thalamus to interpret even small losses or rejections – losing a shoe, being asked to do a chore, being denied a snack – as a new traumatic event. Once the Thalamus has interpreted the experience as a trauma, the Amygdala shifts into overdrive. The Amygdala has a disproportionate fear/emotional response to the experience and sends signals to the Brain Stem. Consequently, the individual gets a dose of cortisol and adrenaline. Palms may sweat, or the person may feel shaky. He experiences a fight or flight urge. Around this time, we may see some troubling behaviors such as impulsive decisions, verbal or physical aggression, self-harm, etc. The reason is that the Prefrontal Cortex was skipped. The memories of this event can be foggy and stored erratically in the Hippocampus. If the Prefrontal Cortex is involved at all, it may be after the crisis is over, when the child thinks about what just happened.Food for ThoughtDuring an actual traumatic event, the brain reacts abnormally to protect the individual. In this case, the brain is interpreting every-day stressors as major threats due to the physiological changes that occurred in the brain during prolonged periods of abuse/trauma. This explains the hyper-arousal typically seen in traumatized youth. It is becoming increasingly clear that trauma must be a key consideration in the treatment of youth who have been exposed to abuse, neglect, abandonment and other traumatizing circumstances. Clearly, treatment should be developed keeping the physiological effects of trauma on the developing brain and understanding how those changes are linked to developmental and behavioral problems in mind. Trauma-informed care must include education for professionals on these fundamentals so that we do not inadvertently fuel the trauma reaction. Instead, we should help to maintain normal levels of homeostasis in the brain during stressful situations. ReferencesCarlson, N. R. (2007). Ninth edition physiology of behavior.

Recently I came across some photographs of my daughter's family that were taken several summers ago. Looking at the photos brought back lots of happy memories; so much so, that I actually caught myself laughing out loud a few times. Then I came across one that caused me to pause. It was a photograph of my granddaughter Rachel Joy and her daddy.
In the photo fifteen month old Rachel Joy is looking out at the ocean as if she wants to walk further out in the water…but she's not sure about it. Fascinated by the appearance of the ocean's breaking waves, she's oblivious of her daddy's presence even though he's standing directly behind her. As a good daddy, he's concerned for his daughter's safety so he's watching her every little move. And as the photograph shows…he's standing poised, ready to protect her by scooping her up in his strong arms should his toddler daughter wobble and fall or venture out too far in the water.
Seeing the beach photograph of Rachel Joy and her daddy reminded me of a childhood incident with my daddy. Here is this week's story…
I was about twelve years of age and my family was vacationing for a week at White Lake. One morning my daddy, three brothers and I went out to the lake to play while mother stayed behind to wash up the breakfast dishes. Other than my mother, I was the only non-swimmer in my family. Terrified of drowning, I'd usually play in knee-deep water while wishing in my heart that I could 'horse-play' with my daddy and brothers in the deeper water.
On this particular morning daddy decided he'd teach me how to float. As I think back now on this incident, I truly believe my daddy's intentions were to teach me to swim that day. But he knew that he first had to get me over my fear of drowning…and he probably thought that teaching me how to float would be a good first step toward teaching me to swim.
So in waist-deep water with my daddy standing by my side and his arms supporting me underneath…I nervously stretched my body out on top of the water. Calmly and soothingly, Daddy said: "Relax Debra, just relax." Feeling wonderfully protected with my daddy's arms underneath me, I completely relaxed my body and floated. I felt so peaceful. Then SUDDENLY one of my brothers shouted out to daddy: "Catch!" Daddy looked up, saw a rubber ball coming straight toward him, and instinctively reached up with both hands to catch the ball. Needless to say, my peaceful moment with daddy was shattered as down, down, down, I went beneath the water. Panic immediately set in as I thrashed about in the lake, trying with all my might to get up and out. After what seemed like an eternity, but in reality was only a few seconds…my daddy reached down in the water and pulled me up.
Let me tell you, I was infuriated with my daddy! And after I finished gasping for air and sputtering lake water you can best believe I made my feelings known to him. "Daddy, you know I can't swim and yet you dropped me in the lake to catch a rubber ball! A stupid rubber ball! I can't believe my daddy dropped me in the lake to catch a rubber ball. Daddy, how could you do that to me?"
Daddy tried his best to calm me, but I was inconsolable. Yes I was angry, but even more than that…I was disappointed. Disappointed because I felt that my daddy had let me down…that he had failed me. In my twelve year old mind, I felt as though I'd never be able to trust my daddy again. But thankfully I did.
With the passing of time I came to realize that daddy would have given his life to protect me that day. While it is true that my daddy dropped me in the lake to catch a rubber ball…more importantly, it is also true that my daddy is the one who pulled me out of the lake. My daddy loved me. He loved me greatly. Truly he was a good daddy.
I don't know about you but there have been times in my life when I've wondered if I could trust God. Especially during those times when it 'seemed' like He'd dropped me or let me down. And you know what? Time and time again…God has proven that He's trustworthy. And now whenever it seems as though I'm on the verge of drowning beneath an ocean of problems…I reach up in faith for God's righteous right hand.
In closing…be encouraged with the knowledge that Father God loves you. He loves you greatly. And because God cares for you, He's watching your every move. So if you ever feel as though you're 'drowning'…reach up to God in faith. God will help you. With His righteous right hand God will uphold and strengthen you. Truly God is a good Daddy.
'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'—Isaiah 41:10 (NASB)
"For I am the LORD your God, who upholds your right hand, Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.'—Isaiah 41:13 (NASB)
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you.—Isaiah 43:2 (NASB)

2014 Audi R8 Arrives in Detroit with More Power, Less Weight
"Coming off the momentum we've built with the launch of the all-new Audi S models, the new Audi R8 and RS 5 Cabriolet further invigorate the next chapter of our Audi performance models," said Scott Keogh, President, Audi of America. "We know that driving enthusiasts are excited to have these cars come to our shores, but they will be even more thrilled to know this is just the beginning."
The 2014 Audi R8 arrives with subtle styling changes, including standard LED headlights, revised grille, new side mirrors, taillights with dynamic turn signal indicators, and round exhaust outlets. Three models are offered: R8 V8 4.2, R8 V10 5.2, and the new R8 V10 Plus 5.2. Each model is equipped with a standard 6-speed gated manual transmission or a new optional 7-speed S-tronic double-clutch automated manual gearbox.
The 2014 Audi R8 V8 4.2 makes 430 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque, enough to accelerate the vehicle to 60 mph in as little as 4.2 seconds, according to Audi. The company claims the top speed is 186 mph. For added power and performance, the 2014 Audi R8 V10 5.2 supplies 525 horsepower, 391 lb.-ft. of torque, acceleration to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and a 195-mph top speed. Each of these variants is available as a coupe or a Spyder model.
The new 2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus 5.2 is only sold as a coupe. The engine is enhanced to develop 550 horsepower and 398 lb.-ft. of torque, and the R8 V10 Plus 5.2 weighs about 100 pounds less than the R8 V10 5.2, thanks to carbon fiber aerodynamic trim elements, manual seats wrapped in Alcantara material, ceramic braking components, and a smaller fuel tank. As a result of the extra power and weight savings, the R8 V10 Plus 5.2 accelerates to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds and achieves a top speed of 198 mph, according to Audi.

The movie "42" is being released on DVD and Blue Ray on July 16.
The movie tells the story of Scioto County native Branch Rickey as he drafts Jackie Robinson to be the first black player to the join Major League Baseball in 1947.
The film stars Academy Award nominee Harrison Ford ("Star Wars," "Indiana Jones," "Air Force One,") as Branch Rickey, and Chadwick Boseman ("The Express") as Robinson. Also starring are Nicole Beharie ("Shame") Christopher Meloni ("Man of Steel") and T.R. Knight (TV's "Grey's Anatomy").
Born in Scioto County in 1881, Wesley Branch Rickey was a school teacher, a college and professional baseball and football player, coach, lawyer and a soldier. He received three college degrees from Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio, and began his career by joining the St. Louis Browns as secretary in 1912. He became president of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1917, and saw the team to six pennants and four World Series titles. During this time, he organized the baseball farm system.
In 1942, he moved to Brooklyn as president of the Dodgers. It was there that Rickey made arguably his greatest contribution to professional sports and civil rights movement by signing African-American baseball player Jackie Robinson to play for the Dodgers in 1947. That moment is the inspiration behind this movie by Legendary Pictures.
Robinson was the 1947 Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year, 1948 National League Most Valuable Player, six-time All-Star, and played for the Dodgers until 1956. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.
Rickey left the Dodgers in 1950 to become vice president of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he was elected chairman of the board at Pittsburgh in 1955. Four years later he was tapped to be president of the Continental Baseball League, which never materialized. He retired in 1960 to write a book, and returned to the Cardinals as a consultant in 1962.
Rickey died in 1965 and is buried in Rushtown Cemetery in Scioto County.

Google has agreed to "forfeit" $500 million for carrying ads from illegal online Canadian pharmacies, the Justice Department announced on Wednesday -- one of the biggest fines paid in such a case.
The U.S. Attorney's office for Rhode Island said the $500 million equals gross sales that Google earned from the ads, and revenues the Canadian online pharmacies earned from resulting sales to U.S. consumers.
A Google spokesman said in a statement that the company banned advertising from Canadian pharmacies "some time ago." But, he added, "it's obvious with hindsight that we shouldn't have allowed these ads on Google in the first place. Given the extensive coverage this settlement has already received, we won't be commenting further."
The Justice Department said the sales may have violated the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Controlled Substances Act. The importation of prescription drugs from Canada and other countries is illegal because the Food and Drug Administration cannot ensure the safety and effectiveness of such drugs.
An investigation by the U.S. Attorney for Rhode Island and the FDA found that Google knew as early as 2003 that Canadian pharmacies were advertising to U.S. consumers using Google's AdWords program, according to a Justice Department statement. While Google blocked ads for other foreign online pharmacies, it continued to allow the Canadian Internet drug stores to place them and even helped some do so.
Justice said Google took steps in 2009 in response to the federal investigation to try to block illegal prescription drug sales from Canada, including requiring online pharmacy advertisers to sign up for a certification program run by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
"This investigation is about the patently unsafe, unlawful importation of prescription drugs by Canadian online pharmacies, with Google's knowledge and assistance, into the United States, directly to U.S. consumers," said U.S. Attorney for Rhode Island Peter Neronha in a statement.
"It is about taking a significant step forward in limiting the ability of rogue online pharmacies from reaching U.S. consumers, by compelling Google to change its behavior. It is about holding Google responsible for its conduct by imposing a $500 million forfeiture, the kind of forfeiture that will not only get Google's attention, but the attention of all those who contribute to America's pill problem." Justice said Google has acknowledged it improperly helped online Canadian pharmacies and agreed to compliance and reporting measures aimed at preventing future misconduct.
Justice said the investigation into the Canadian online pharmacy sales and Google AdWords stemmed from an unrelated fraud investigation involving a man who fled to Mexico and started using Google AdWords to advertise illegal drugs.

Issue 144 | May 2, 2014 | Focus on Sanitation
This issue features some of the most recent reports, blog posts, and videos on fecal sludge management, community-led total sanitation, sanitation marketing and other sanitation topics. Included are a 2014 UNICEF evaluation of its Community Approaches to Total Sanitation, updated statistics and country reports from the Joint Monitoring Programme, videos from the Toilet Fair in India, and other resources.
Faecal Sludge Management Conference (FSM3), Jan 18-22, 2015, Hanoi, Vietnam, Call for Papers and Workshops. (Link)
FSM3 will share research and experience and build upon practical developments since the last FSM2 Conference, which was held in Durban, South Africa, in October 2012. Some of the themes include: FSM as an enterprise—commercial viability, financing arrangements, and cost recovery—desludging, collection, and transportation; FS characterization and technologies; and pit emptying operations and maintenance.
2014 Updates from the UNICEF/WHO Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation. UNICEF; WHO. (Link)
The latest JMP estimates are now available and include 2014 country files, the latest statistical table, and a 2014 snapshot.
Anaerobic Digestion of Biowaste in Developing Countries: Practical Information and Case Studies, 2014. Y Vögeli, Eawag—Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology. (Link)
This book aims to compile existing and recently generated knowledge on issues of anaerobic digestion of organic solid waste at small and medium-scale with special consideration of low- and middle-income country conditions. The book is divided into two parts: Part 1 focuses on practical information related to anaerobic digestion and biogas production, and Part 2 presents selected case studies from around the world.
Downstream of the Toilet: Transforming Poo into Profit, 2013. WASHplus. (Link)
WASHplus engaged the NGO Practica to design and pilot a private-sector service delivery model to sustainably manage fecal sludge generated in Ambositra, Madagascar, using low-cost decentralized technologies. Working closely with the commune authorities, the project selected and trained a local entrepreneur, developed a sludge burial site, experimented with a range of manual extraction methods and tools, and engaged in a social marketing campaign to promote the service.
Evaluation of the WASH Sector Strategy "Community Approaches to Total Sanitation" (CATS): Final Evaluation Report, 2014. UNICEF. (Link)
In the context of the recent evolution of the sanitation sector, CATS can be seen in two ways: as a move from technically based supply-driven approaches toward behavior change, demand-driven approaches, and also as a recognition that a new social norm around ending open defecation is a key issue to be addressed because of its impacts on and linkages with other sectors (health, education, etc.). CATS successfully contributed to shifting the sanitation sector toward demand-driven rather than directly subsidized approaches. The evaluation shows that CATS has given a new momentum to rural sanitation in the more than 50 countries supported by UNICEF. This new momentum has translated into a change in how rural communities regard sanitation, invest in it, commit to new behaviors around ending open defecation—and eventually improve their living conditions.

As soon as a woman helping her church raise money for the poor takes a dollar and hands over a raffle ticket for a blender, she becomes a crook. In South Carolina, at least.
An outdated — and murky — state law outlaws charitable raffles at the same time it outlaws serious for-profit gambling rings.
Legislative efforts to address misguided portions of the law have failed in recent years under pressure from conservative Christians who fear even raffles could open the door to more gambling.
A new, more tightly worded bill has passed the Senate and might just pass the House this year. It should.
Fortunately, Rep. Jim Merrill, R-Daniel Island, is interested in the raffle issue. He has introduced his own similar bill to address the raffle issue and said he hopes to work out a bill that will work for the House and the Senate.
The basis for discussion appears to be sound:
■ The House bill would make raffles (but not other kinds of gambling) legal for nonprofits, but with caveats that should put skeptical minds to rest.
■ Net proceeds must go to charitable purposes.
■ Raffles must be conducted by the nonprofit, not a third party.
■ No one can be paid to run a raffle.
■ The S.C. secretary of state will regulate raffles.
■ Nonprofits may pay $50 a year for permission to hold raffles of items that are at least $500 in value. Organizations are exempt from registration if the prize is less valuable.
■ Fines go to the General Fund.
■ Raffle advertising must state the charitable purposes to which proceeds will go and the percentage of raffle proceeds over the previous two years that did not go to charitable purposes.
■ No prizes worth more than $40,000, or no real estate may be raffled.
If the bill is enacted, the people still have a voice. The law would require a constitutional amendment, and that requires a referendum.
And on the off chance that the legislation overlooked a loophole, the legislation must be reauthorized in five years. If it isn't working as hoped, legislators could refuse to authorize it.
As testament to the bill's credibility, the Baptist-backed Palmetto Family Alliance has joined with the S.C. Association of Nonprofits, the United Way Association and the Lions Club to support the bill.
In an effort to keep the deleterious affects of gambling out of South Carolina, legislators have made criminals out of churches and civic groups raising money by raffling off parking places or front-row seats at the football game.
Surely that is not in the best interest of the state.
The Legislature should take this opportunity to amend the constitution and decriminalize raffles.
