Read about how our clients use WeThrive to build happy, motivated and engaged teams with these employee engagement case studies.
WeThrive is used across a variety of sectors and organisations of all sizes. Here are some recent examples of how our clients have used our tool to improve employee engagement, motivation and performance.
Bringing together unique creative minds, Seymourpowell delivers a holistic approach to the design and innovation process, which goes beyond the traditionally connected limitations of skill-specific design teams.
Kate Askey, the HR manager wanted to bring contemporary thinking around motivation and behavioral science into the company, in a bid to understand how she could help staff perform to the best of their ability.
The Talent Team at Pure360 is always looking at how to develop further. As part of a new initiative focusing on leadership and management, Pure360 needed a tool to support the coaching and training program organised for the managers.
Pure360 already had a quarterly PDP and performance rating process in place which addressed delivery against agreed targets, training needs and career development.
Sussex based VW Heritage has been using WeThrive for the last 3 years. In this case study Selina Bishop, HR Manager, shares how the insights WeThrive has given her and her managers has enabled them to maintain and develop their busy growing team.
It also includes 3 anonymous examples of individuals where WeThrive has made a real difference to their working lives.

Boundless offers those working in the Civil Service and Public Sector hundreds of fantastic deals, experiences, events, volunteer activities and things to do – all carefully crafted and selected to help you make the most of your free time. Ailsa Suttie, operations director implemented WeThrive in August 2016.
Read how WeThrive helped Boundless
WeThrive is one of the most innovative tools to managing staff engagement. Already adopted by businesses worldwide, our highly effective approach to the assessment of employee sentiment has proven WeThrive to be a reliable tool for creating more productive teams.
"Traditional engagement surveys tend to be directed by a fixed understanding of the organisation as determined by the researcher, rather than by specific organisational drivers.
WeThrive has developed a dynamic approach which does not rely on a fixed view but, rather, involves respondees' – thus making the direction of the research co-productive. This has a major benefit in that respondees become stakeholders in the process and are, therefore, more likely to be involved in change processes resulting from research outcomes.
Declaring results on a progressive basis allows incremental and sustainable organisational change thus avoiding a "big bang" approach which can often prove disruptive."
Yvonne Murray FCIPD, Head of Human Resources, Cardiff City Airport
"The survey results were enlightening. I had been prevaricating for too long on several issues that were preventing the business from moving forward as quickly as I wanted. The dashboard gave me clarity and recommendations in several areas, which I had not been able to unpick myself. I have now implemented the changes and have not looked back since!"
John Sellers, Managing Director, Aesthetic Professionals
"We use WeThrive to 'take the temperature of the team' and uncover underlying staff issues that may affect performance. This new information enables us to design appropriate interventions to get things back on track much more quickly."
Janine Osmond, Head of Learning & Development, Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust
"Nothing happens without buy-in from the employees, so you need to know what they feel about their work. This is where a tool like WeThrive really helps, showing you the opportunities to improve employee engagement and motivation… WeThrive helps you focus the interventions in the places that really matter to the team."
Jenifer Richmond, Director, Jenifer Richmond Executive Coaching
"This is HR gold! WeThrive has given me a fantastic insight into my teams with really clear and easy to follow stats and graphics. It has made performance reviews so much more targeted. Highly recommended!"
Barney Dines, Sales Director, VW Heritage
"As a CEO I want a team that is happy, knows what it is doing and is motivated to do its work. It is always a challenge to pinpoint what is undermining the individuals in the team. WeThrive is a breath of fresh air – it gives accurate, swift analysis of individual engagement, motivation and happiness, and shows how each person fits into the team and, crucially, is served by their manager. It's easy to use and the reports give individuals and managers a firm basis for constructive and meaningful reviews. I think this is extraordinary software, and if used correctly rapidly becomes an indispensable tool for any health-related business."
Charles Highett, CEO, Alliance Medical
"WeThrive provided an open forum for individuals to provide honest feedback and allowed me to discuss the results with them and understand how we can do better as a company to improve the engagement and overall welfare of all employees."
Neil Harvey, Creative Director, Groupbrand.
"The dashboard is brilliant. It's EXACTLY what I wanted to know at a glance! Love it. Really nice and clear."
Alex Cowell, MD, Cubeworks
"We wanted to support our managers in developing and retaining our most valuable asset, our people. WeThrive has not only enabled managers to have more meaningful conversations with their staff but the software has also provided insights at team and company level. These insights have empowered the business to make changes at both the macro and the micro level to ensure we reach our business goals with a motivated and engaged workforce."
Stuart Dawson, CEO, Pure360
"Too often, leaders and managers have fairly scant information on which to work with their team and develop actionable objectives. WeThrive acts as a shot of adrenaline to the relationship between employee and employer. It adds depth and dimension to insights into the employee's position that accelerates performance because it accelerates how the relationship can progress."
Si Conroy, CEO & Founder, Scarlet Monday.

|RE: Log4J in Tomcat 5.0...I don't believe the FAQ
|Mon, 06 Sep 2004 10:33:14 GMT
I use commons-logging api for two reasons (I am affraid that one of them better than the other): - because I reuse classes that use it. - because the people from whom I learned to program Java2EE use it. Thanks for the reference; it is really interesting. -----Mensaje original----- De: Jacob Kjome [mailto:email@example.com] Enviado el: domingo, 05 de septiembre de 2004 23:55 Para: Tomcat Users List Asunto: RE: Log4J in Tomcat 5.0...I don't believe the FAQ Why do you use commons-logging in your application classes? I can see a semi-legitimate argument for a framework doing this, so as to not force a particular logging implementation on the user. However, you are the user. You choose the logging implementation. You have, obviously, chosen Log4j as your implementation of choice. Why not cut out the middle man (commons-logging) and use Log4j?

Black And White

The color black relates to the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, and as a result it creates an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden from the world.White is color at its most complete and pure, the color of perfection. Black is the absorption of all color and the absence of light. Black hides, while white brings to light. What black covers, white uncovers.

Learning filtration- What is That
Water is an important source of Sodium and Chloride ions based on which the usage pattern depends: hard, soft and distilled. Hard water is used for industries as it gives less lather with soap and thus is not good for cleansing. Hard water is not appropriate for household consumption because of sodium ions. It has a high quantity of calcium carbonate which damages the pool walls and gets deposited in pipes. Soft water is rich in sodium and rich in lather and most appropriate for health.
Public swimming pools and swimming pools are big enough to burden human beings during cleansing. Hygiene is difficult to sustain. Machines are used for helping in filtration.
Sediments of zeolite, sand at the bottom of the pools require suction to be pulled out from the same. Chlorine is an alternative to maintaining the acidic balance of the water and for which Cyan uric acid is a boon. Bromine is also used.
Unclean water can be a cause of many diseases which need to be prevented for great sun-basking experiences.
The pool filters reviews are encouraging and are useful for market research and also spreading the word on any product. Consumers find it confident especially if they have to pay online and are avoiding a visit to any store. They tell us that there are different types of pool cleaners available:
(a) Suction Side: conceptually based on suction on being connected to pool pump and a strainer or the drain for movement gushing the water out from the skimmer which is sent back after filtering through the valves. Prices for this type are economical; between $100-$300.
(b) Pressure Side: also has booster pump connected to the pool pump and costs range from $200-$700.
(c) Electric Robot: does not use the pool pump and saves energy too.
There are varieties and various suppliers. One asks for it, and the market has it in abundance! Engineering is on the cake for markets.
The best pool vacuum must be the one that has these features in them. Take a look at them.
Safe to use: Your pool vacuum must be the safest one to use. There must not be any leakage. Thought these pool vacuums are connected to 22o volts AC, but it steps down to the 24 volts DC.
Lower Consumption Of Energy: These pool vacuum cleaners are not connected to the pumps. Therefore, it provides with the low consumption of energy. You are not required to increase the electric bills when you choose to use them.
Low Maintenance Cost: The cost of the maintenance of these pool vacuum cleaners are the not very high. This is mainly due to its separation from the pumps. It is very handy, easy to use and user-friendly.
Very Efficient In Their Works: The pool clean vacuum cleaners are very efficient in their works. They are easy to clean. They have a very efficient filter. The mesh that is provided is very small and is not very uncommon.
These were the features of the pool vacuum cleaners that would suit you the best.

garden art
Forgot to take a photo in the garden at Urchfont - so found a good place in my garden instead - I will finish it - I promise. Finished my dandelion book and when I've learned how to do page turning on the blog I'll put it up.
Had a brilliant time at Urchfont - Ruth worked so hard for us and was so generous with her goodies. The mono printing was great - feel I learned a lot. Was lovely meeting new people and catching up with everyone from last year.
Going kayaking and cycling and walking and playing with the grandchildren and my poor neglected husband for a little while before getting into module 1 seriously - though I can't promise not to think about it!
Hope you all had a good journey home and are now getting over the withdrawal symptoms.

Assessment piece
Finally finished the piece. I have a few more fish in hand in case they slump a bit more in the net. When hung it is 5ft from the bar to the edge of the net. In the middle it is 6 inches deep and the top of the net is 21 inches wide. The fish on the top layer are caught to the net so they stay in position. I used a shiny transparent thread to sew the net together and some of the fish to the net so I could leave the ends long to sparkle.
Close up of the bottom of the net.
Close up of the top of the net.
The digital picture quilted and machine stitched to show the ravaged sea bottom, areas still lively, the trawlers pushing forward and the wire currrency symbols showing what they are solely interested in.
Stretched out on the floor as I don't have a big enough bit of wall space to hang it up!
Design time 15 hours.
Construction time 63 hours approx
Cost £22 approx.
It fulfills the requirements for a wall hanging so I think it is fit for purpose. I am very pleased with it. The original design idea was to have the net hanging from the trawler picture on a concealed rod, but this did not prove to be practical. I think the idea of the net attached to the trawlers still works with the alternative hanging rod. The hanging cords were handmade from a variegated wool sock yarn and were rather stretchy which is why they now have the 'arty' knots in them. If I was making it again I would make these from a stiff cord instead. The word ribbons made on solufleece and scrim were very stiff as I only partially dissolved the fabric; unfortunately they became much less stiff with handling so it was difficult to keep them in positions so they could be easily read. If I was doing these again, I would experiment with various stiffeners.

About the Prince William County Bar Association
The Prince William County Bar Association, Inc. (PWCBA) is a voluntary, professional, non-profit, organization that provides services and benefits to its members and to the local community. It was established on July 25, 1941, by the seven attorneys that comprised the total of this area's legal community at that time. Though the membership has grown to include just over 450 attorneys and members of the judiciary, the mission of the organization remains the same: to maintain the honor and dignity of the practice of law, promote the administration of justice, encourage the professionalism and collegiality of its members, and contribute to the quality of life in the community.
The PWCBA accomplishes its objectives through a variety of means:
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE: The PWCBA interacts with the local judiciary in a myriad of ways, including: bench & board meetings to discuss ideas for promoting the administration of justice in the courts; casual breakfast meetings between the bench and the bar to facilitate open communications; involvement in the judicial screening process when an opening is anticipated on the bench; annual judicial evaluations; and sponsorship of investitures, retirement celebrations and the commissioning of judicial portraits. The PWCBA, with the assistance of the courts, is also committed to meeting the growing need for low cost or pro bono legal services to the community. The PWCBA operates a Lawyer Referral Service and a Modest Means Panel to facilitate public access to an attorney and the PWCBA supports a variety of pro bono initiatives.
EDUCATION: The PWCBA is a Virginia State Bar, (VSB), accredited sponsor of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars. As an accredited sponsor, the Bar offers numerous CLE courses annually to enable members to fulfill their mandatory continuing legal education requirements, as set forth by the VSB. The PWCBA also sponsors a variety of educational programs during monthly membership meetings on topics related to local court procedures, new legislation, legal services, and other issues related to the practice of law.
LIAISON: Developing and maintaining good working relationships with area legislators is accomplished through sponsorship of Candidates Forums, the annual Legislators' luncheon, and routine and constructive contact with members of the Virginia General Assembly on matters of importance to the Bar Association. The PWCBA also strives to maintain close working relationships with local, state and national bar associations. The PWCBA works closely with the Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax Bar Associations to co-sponsor projects and events of interest to the combined membership; with the Virginia State Bar, through active participation in the Conference of Local Bar Associations and Young Lawyer's Conference activities; and with the American Bar Association though the National Association of Bar Executives. PWCBA members routinely serve the VSB in state leadership roles.
FELLOWSHIP: The annual Bench/Bar Dinner Dance is the PWCBA's largest social event. At the Dinner Dance, members enjoy an evening with their colleagues and members of the judiciary in a purely social setting. At this event, individual members are recognized for their outstanding achievements in the area of professionalism, pro bono legal service, for their work as trial attorneys or guardians ad litem, and for their roles in leadership capacities within the Bar.
The Bar celebrated its 60th Anniversary with great fanfare at the February 2001 Dinner Dance. The evening included historical presentations, recognition of all past presidents, and a presentation of a Virginia General Assembly resolution, commemorating a lifetime of service, to the Honorable Arthur W. Sinclair, Jr., the only surviving founding member of the Bar Association.
In February of 2011, the Bar celebrated its 70th Anniversary with equal fanfare with historical displays reflecting the Bar's continuing focus on capturing its history and the creation of a Past President's Council. The Bar also received a Commendation from the Chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, recognizing the many contributions of members of the Bar to the citizens and corporations of the County for the betterment of the community and the promotion of the administration of justice.
Other social events planned throughout the year include receptions, family picnics, and happy hours.
PUBLIC RELATIONS: The Bar Association routinely supports programs in the schools, reaches out to Senior citizens, and provides support for programs to benefit local at-risk youth. Each year, through the Beat the Odds® program, the PWCBA awards scholarships and educational grants to youth who have been involved in the juvenile justice system, and despite the odds against them, have achieved academic and social progress. In addition, the PWCBA produces a number of law-related public education brochures which are distributed throughout the courts
YOUNG LAWYERS GROUP: The Young Lawyers Group is the newest sub-group of attorneys within the Prince William County Bar Association. Appealing to the "young and the young at heart" the group is focused on pursuing networking and mentoring opportunities, community service and use of technology. To that end, they have sponsored numerous happy hours both for the members of the PWC Bar and in conjunction with other local bar associations. They have taken on chairmanship of the Membership and Mentoring Committee within the PWC Bar, which is where individual and group mentoring activities are organized. They also sponsor a monthly breakfast at SERVE, the local homeless shelter. The Young Lawyers Group set up a social media account through LinkedIn to better connect them, and encourages the Bar to integrate the latest technology in all we do.
LAWYER DISCIPLINE: All members of the PWCBA are required to be members in good standing of the Virginia State Bar. The Virginia State Bar is the governing agency that regulates lawyers by testing, licensing, and enforcing continuing education requirements. The VSB is also responsible for the discipline of lawyers licensed by the state. To contact the Virginia State Bar, Office of Bar Council, go to their web site at http://www.vsb.org/site/regulation/inquiry/.

The Family Self Sufficiency Program offers many services which allow residents the opportunity to become economically self-sufficient.
The Income Disallowance Plan - This plan is offered to residents who have gone from welfare to work, residents who have had an increase in income, and residents who are involved in a job training program. The first twelve month period that you have an increase in earned income, 100% of the increase will be disallowed. The next six months your rent will only increase by 50% of the initial increase. This plan enables residents to save money.
The Ceiling Rent Plan - This plan provides residents the opportunity to save a considerable amount of money. Under this plan your rent is based on bedroom size.
State Escrow Plan - Any employed resident living in a state aided apartment has the opportunity to save $10,000.00. The appeal of this plan is that you do not have to contribute to the savings program and money will be saved for you by the agency. This plan is outlined below:
- your household pays your regular monthly rent.
- a portion of the rent derived from earned wages is placed into a special escrow account.
- each $2.00 of your rent money placed into this account is matched by $1.00 from the Department of Housing and Community Development. The total maximum amount allowed to be saved in this escrow account is $10,000.00.
- these funds can only be used to move from a subsidized unit to a private unit or homeownership.
Homeownership Opportunities - The Residents Development Corporation (RDC) is a non-profit agency that builds homes for first time homebuyers and assists eligible residents through the process of buying homes.
Section 8 Family Self-sufficiency Opportunity This service is offered to participants of the Section 8 Program. The mission of the Family Self-Sufficiency Program is to motivate residents to become employed and get off of government assistance. Residents who participate in this program have an escrow savings account established for them. Residents are able to withdraw funds from their escrow account when there is a documented need that the funds are required to maintain economic self-sufficiency. Participants in this plan are required to attend four seminars annually. In the past, some of the seminars have dealt with Stress and Time Management, Budgeting Techniques, Nutritional Menus, and Resume Development. The FSS Program offers many incentives to residents.
Family Self Sufficiency Program
The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (FSS) is designed to help families receiving rental assistance to become self-supporting. This program is voluntary and open to all families receiving Section 8 assistance through the Lowell Housing Authority. The only requirements are a desire to become self-sufficient and a willingness to take the steps to make this happen. The FSS Program provides support and assistance to the entire family.
How does the FSS Program work? The head of household enters into a contract with the LHA. This contract contains a service plan that identifies the employment goals of the participant and outlines the activities and services necessary to achieve those goals. The FSS Director helps the family obtain the services listed in the plan. The LHA establishes a savings account when the family increases its earned income.
The FSS Director can help you find the services you need to become self-sufficient, such as:
Job Training
Child Care
Educational Programs, including GED classes
Case Management
Programs such as the FSS Savings Account are established to help you and your family save money in order to become more self-sufficient. When your rent goes up due to an increase in your earnings, the amount of the increase will be placed in a savings account for you and your family. You will receive all of the money in your account, plus interest, when the FSS Contract is successfully completed.
To complete the program, you must be working and all family members must be off public assistance for at least the last 12 months of the contract. To find out more about the FSS Program contact Family Self-Sufficiency

In October 2011 a San Francisco man was arrested for absconding with approximately $10,000 worth of fish. His name is Byron Bates. At the time of his arrest, Bates was working as a driver and deliveryman for Newport Fish Company, a San Francisco area sea food distribution company.
Ironically, Bates did not still the fish because he was hungry; he had no hankering for fish. What Mr. Bates did have a taste for was drugs, non-prescription, illicit drugs.
In fact, he was feigning for crack cocaine. You read correctly, he traded in $10,000.00 worth of fish for $400.00 worth of crack cocaine.
On October 14, 2011, Mr. Bates was instructed to make a number of fresh sea food deliveries to Sacramento. When the orders had not been delivered by 4p.m. that day, many of the customers began to call the owner of Newport Seafood Company to complain and to inquire about their deliveries.
The owner tried to no avail to contact Mr. Bates. After several unsuccessful attempts to reach Mr. Bates, the owner called the police.
On October 18, 2011, police located the seafood delivery truck in Oakland, with no sight of Byron Bates of course. A small amount of the fish was retrieved, as it was left inside the delivery truck. However, the remaining seafood was definitely rotten and nonedible.
Once authorities retrieved the stolen delivery truck, San Mateo detectives set out to locate Mr. Bates. Mr. Bates was apprehended and charged with stealing a delivery truck, from his San Francisco employer.
In May 2012, Mr. Bates entered a plea of No Contest. On July 19, 2012, Judge Lisa Novak, of San Mateo Superior Court, required that Mr. Bates enter a residential treatment facility to address his crack cocaine addiction in lieu of a 3 year prison sentence. Judge Novak suspended Bate's 3 year prison sentence on the specific condition that he successfully complete a residential treatment program.
Novak allowed Bates the treatment alternative because the crime he committed was in fact non-violent and she felt that he was genuinely remorseful. She went on to add that his conduct was the result of addiction. Bates is happy with entering rehab instead of prison; he now has a second chance to live his life as a productive citizen.
Bates later learned that he was accepted into Delancey Street Foundation, a non-profit based residential treatment organization in San Francisco which focuses, specifically, on rehabilitating convicted criminals and individuals who abuse substances. The goal of the organization is to successfully transition graduating residents back into mainstream society.
Bate's is required to live at Delancey Street Foundation for two years.

text: It's been a long time since I visited the Nasty Pig website. When I first heard the name Nasty Pig and visited their site a few years ago, they largely featured sexy jockstraps and cool gear with lots of hot rubber. I've had a lot of downtime over the holidays, so I've spent a great deal of time just surfing around the Web, visiting a lot of blogs, and basically clicking just about anything that caught my eye. That's how I found the new Nasty Pig website. And what a site! First of all, I have to say that I love the humpy, scruffy guy on the homepage. He's my kind of man. Second of all, Nasty Pig is a hot-looking site. Sexy greys, blacks, reds, and white - it's very nice on the eyes. Just visiting the site makes me want to work hard at the gym and then head off to the store to get me some new gear to show off my hot body. As I dug deeper into the site, I was surprised to see that Nasty Pig has really expanded to include all kinds of clothing and gear from jockstraps and underwear to shirts and pants, and lots of accessories like suspenders, socks, armbands, harnesses, hats, and even machine-washable, rubber playsheets. But Nasty Pig isn't just an online store; they have a blog where you can meet the staff, see pics of customers trying on gear, and lots of other stuff. They also have galleries of hot men wearing Nasty Pig gear and you can pick up some free wallpaper. If for nothing else, you have to head over there to see the website's background - it's mesmerizing.

Malaysia creates history with two golds at Rio Paralympics
Malaysia has created history by winning two gold medals at the Rio Paralympics in Brazil, and etching one of the victories by setting a new world record. The first gold medal was won by Mohamad Ridzuan Mohamad Puzi in the 100m T36 (celebral palsy) event and the second by Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli with a new world record in the men's shot put F20 (intellectual disability) event. Malaysia has won medals previously at the paralympics, but only silver and bronze.
At the Rio Olympic Stadium, Mohamad Ridzuan dashed across the finish line of the 100m T36 in 12.07 seconds, ahead of Yang Yifei of China (12.20s) and Rodrigo Parreira da Silva of Brazil (12.54s). Muhammad Ziyad hurled the shot a distance of 16.84 metres to clinch the world record and the gold on his fifth attempt. He erased the previous world record of 16.29m set by Todd Hodgetts of Australia at the London Paralympics in 2012. Dimitrios Senikidis of Greece won the silver medal in Rio with a throw of 16.17m and Hodgetts took the bronze medal with a throw of 15.82m.

Not so long ago it was considered acceptable and even clever to regale your friends and neighbours with the revelation that "there are more people alive now than have ever died". What one was supposed to do with this fragment of contemporary wisdom, its source, or how it had been calculated, was never fully explained. Switch on your TV though and it appears that American executives have taken it almost personally, opted to strike a blow for the new deceased minority, and given the dead the lion's share of the limelight. Increasingly television fiction has become a place where no one ever really dies at all.As a dramatic device the dead are yesterday's news. Hamlet and Macbeth were nothing without their spectral acquaintances, but at least as protagonists they both lived until the last act. Today, less is certain. Having exhausted our fascination with the body itself (CSI, Cold Case and so on) we now invigorate our dramas by raising the dead as matter of routine. Even allegedly serious series like Six Feet Under and The Sopranos have accustomed us to guest slots from beyond the grave. In the former, it's not dark enough that the boys run a funeral parlour; their dead father keeps an eye on them as well. At least when corpses speak in Six Feet Under the context is often humorous. In the Sopranos, the regular Twin Peaks/A Christmas Carol vehicle of Tony's fevered dreams always spells permanent death for somebody. But at least those are dreams. In the current crop of programmes, reality - as much as it can be said to exist in drama - is wedged somewhere between Highlander and the works of George Romero.Even that most glamorous of recent series, Desperate Housewives, allows itself a dead narrator in the voice of Mary Alice Young, who takes her own life in the first scene of episode one. Happily, this is a device that gives the show an angle without which it may not have exceeded the Sex And The Suburbs limitations of its earthly plotlines. Which begs the question, how much more bearable might its metropolitan forbear have been if Sarah Jessica Parker's character had shot herself at the outset?Over on Sky, new drama Rescue Me is the everyday story of Manhattan firefighting folk and their not quite absent friends. Indeed, so surprising is it to see Denis Leary involved in something halfway decent that the fact half the characters are dead seems inconsequential by comparison. Like Nicolas Cage's paramedic in Scorsese's Bringing Out The Dead, Leary is pursued around New York by the spirits of those he could not save. Unhappily for him, these visions are more numerous than fires and much of his time is spent in reluctant banter with the departed, who appear in his locker, on stairwells and even in his toilet. Though not evil, Leary's dead are opinionated and sarcastic. While in a horror film characters might at least expect to be killed by the dead, here Denis has to put up with their endless nagging.If seeing more dead people than M Night Shyamalan's casting director is a typical symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder I couldn't possibly say. But while one could argue that America's new obsession with the afterlife, and by association mortality, is in some way linked to 9/11, at least Rescue Me's associations to that day are explicit. "I have seen it all!" barks Leary to his new recruits. And that includes things that are not there.Without succumbing to the full-on fantasy land of Buffy, the younger end of the broadcast market appears committed to keeping both feet in the grave. Dead Like Me offers a surreal introduction to the afterlife when its teen heroine George is struck by a falling toilet seat from the Mir space station. This unlikely end qualifies her to function as a kind of bereavement divine holiday rep, escorting souls to oblivion with a winning smile. Dead Like Me is also remarkable as the only show to date in which the undead have substance abuse issues.On an equally grave note, Tru Calling is the story of a glamorous teenage mortuary assistant (called Tru) who can travel back in time and prevent people's deaths. She is thwarted in her quest for selective immortality by death himself, who appears in the form of Jason Priestley. While not hurtling about in her Saab trying to stem the flow of souls, Tru stomps around as though mortality were something unpleasant stuck to the bottom of her shoe. Meanwhile, Jason/death moves in mysterious ways, stealing people's mobile phone batteries to lethal effect, and so on. At times the show is confusing. "Who are you?" is a particularly common line. But it is nothing if not pragmatic. "Death is inevitable," says Jason, a lot. Well you wouldn't think so from watching TV.Also aimed squarely at the young and vulnerable is Joan Of Arcadia, which not only plays fast and loose with reality, but also traditional barometers of mental health, taking the notion of What If God Was One Of Us? ( the show's theme tune) and extending the premise to entire series where God is not only (although briefly) "a stranger on a bus" but a whole bunch of other people as well. Where her medieval namesake was inspired by God to lead an army and was burned at the stake, God tells modern teen Joan to go and work and in a bookshop, which she does. It may hot up in later episodes, I couldn't say. Life, as I understand it, is just too short to find out.Though American serial drama seems to have come of age in so many ways it still seems unable to say goodbye altogether to its teenage goth instincts. But there are more serious sides to all this metaphysics in the melodrama. In psychoanalyst angst opera Huff, shrink Hank Azaria (voice of Mo from the Simpsons), beset with visions, presides over a show so infused with mortality it seems to make the room grow colder. "I've just become painfully aware of just how quickly people can leave this earth," yells Hank in one cathartic outburst. You may as well hire a drama student to come and sit in your living room and repeat "we're all gonna die" for 50 minutes. It is a long way from The Waltons.Even America's thespian elite are in on the undead act. Angels In America which, in addition to Al Pacino, boasts Meryl Streep playing a rabbi and Emma Thompson as an angel, cleaned up at last year's Emmy awards. It seems that none of us can get enough of the afterlife and where and when this affectation ends is anyone's guess. This after all is a world in which the notion of finite endings is gradually being obscured. And if the immortality fad leads to a lot of confusion at funerals from now on, then so be it. As Denis Leary says in Rescue Me, "If there is a God, he's got a whole shitload of explaining to do."· Rescue Me, Thu, 10pm, Sky One
There's something hauntingly similar about many of the best US TV dramas just now - not all the characters are alive. Michael Holden sees dead people

At the southern cape of my town, Munish, there still stands a hundred-year-old lighthouse that was built by the white men who came to this place two centuries ago. They stayed long and worked tirelessly to convert our culture to their ways, but ultimately failed even through violence — the frigid temperatures, we knew, could not be tolerated by the inexperienced white men.
As a sort of last hurrah, they constructed a glaringly ugly lighthouse for the reason that unsuspecting sailors might wreck their ships here if there were no guidepost. But we all knew that the real reason was that, when they had their reinforcements, they could easily locate Munish again.
My ancestors took it upon themselves to destroy the beacon for that reason — and they did. For a time, life for them was good. The white men never returned, the lighthouse was vacant, and Munish remained happily secluded.
However, this changed on the day that the lighthouse beacon, despite being wrecked, inexplicably flickered back to life and lit a clear path over the sea for the white men to follow. Munish panicked, and a small heroic group traveled to the southern cape and entered the lighthouse with the singular goal of eliminating the problem. In the town, every individual witnessed the light die again. It was a startling moment, for the joy and relief that should have been felt was eerily misplaced. An appalling silence drowned everything.
The men who carried out the heroic act of destroying the light never returned. In their honor, an annual festival was founded on the day of their deaths. The very next year, on the day before the festival, the light returned. Again the town fell into fearful madness, and a handful of brave warriors followed the path of the fallen men from the prior year. For a third time, the lighthouse dimmed; the men did not return to celebrate.
Rumors were propagated after that, many suggesting that an evil spirit had possessed the lighthouse, and that it had taken the heroes for destroying its beacon. The rumors became ingrained into the culture, and soon tales of the Ning (the abominable creature said to dwell within the lighthouse) were commonplace in Munish. They were so well-known, in fact, that when on the following year the light came again, none offered themselves to douse it, out of fear of the Ning. Days passed, and the light shone on. No white men arrived, but the light continually grew stronger and took on a greenish hue.
In the span of a week, several individuals had alarmingly ended their own lives by way of lying nude in the tundra away from town for house — a terribly slow, grisly way to die. Inaction was the primary policy until several more villagers went berserk and threw themselves from the icy cliffs — the ones located beside the lighthouse. After much argument and many difficult decisions, the village sent multiple unwilling men to do the deed. Minutes later, the horrific greenness died, the men nowhere to be found.
For a century this trend continued, with each year growing increasingly tense for the townspeople. No longer were there volunteers, but instead the village chief selected the unfortunate sacrifices. All the while, the mystery of the lighthouse (and the supposed Ning) was never resolved. The light returned two days ago, in fact.
As it happens, I am the next in line to die.

Katie Holmes Getting "Scary Skinny" On Raw Vegetable Diet
Katie Holmes takes losing weight for movies seriously — even if her role doesn't call for it. With "Don't be Afraid of the Dark," Holmes has gone on a radical diet that has brought her down to 130 pounds!
A source tells OK!, "When she wants to slim down for a role, she eats only unprocessed raw vegetables. Because of the sugar content, she tries not to eat fruit; if she does, she usually sticks to berries, because they have the lowest glycemic index." Read more…

Virtualbox for Mac
I had downloaded and tried VirtualBox a few months back (actually pre-Leopard), but it didn't work for me at all.. VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, and OpenSolaris also, but I only wanted to see it on Mac. I had tried installing Knoppix but it just wasn't coooperating so I put it aside for another day. Recently I downloaded 1.5.51 and tried again; this time it all went smoothly.
Emboldened by this success, I decided to try something more challenging: SCO 5.0.7, which Parallels has so far failed to achieve and VMware managed only without networking. Alas, VirtualBox wasn't up to the task either: the SCO install crashed and brought down VirtualBox with it.
Oh well.. I don't need that. The Knoppix install shows that it works, and gives me enough to check out the features.. which are admittedly minimal, but are also sufficient: you can create a virtual machine with dynamic hard drives, up to four ethernet adapters, shared folders, and snapshots.. what else do you need?
Well, how about being able to send the screen somewhere else? VirtualBox apparently can do that too: you connect to it with an RDP client and there you are.. that's pretty neat, actually.
When I first started this, VirtualBox popped up a registration form. As I really would like to be notified of updates and so on, I did want to register.. but that crashed as shown in this snapshot:
In a way that annoys me more than not working at all would.. I really do want to be notified.. oh, well - maybe next version, right?
Other than that, so far VirtualBox has done what I want without complaint or glitch.. I didn't try it with Windows, but I suspect the developers pay a lot of attention to that, so it's probably fine.
I'm sure VirtualBox will get even better over time - this is only version 1.5 after all. But even right now it's probably perfectly fine for most users. I like it..

I've been pretty successful with VirtualBox on Linux.
At least Virtualbox-ose (open source edition). Using Debian Lenny/Sid it's pretty easy to just go apt-get install virtualbox
Just got to make sure that the kernel modules are installed also. The module is vboxdrv and in Debian you get the proper permissions for a user if you add them to the vboxusers group.
Once you get it installed and XP or Linux or whatever running then you can go through the GUI and install some of the drivers for the hosted operating systems. That makes integrate a bit better into your existing desktop.
The one big feature that is missing from the OSE version, from what I seen, is lack of USB support for forwarding USB devices from your regular PC to the hosted operating systems. Other then that I haven't noticed anything missing.

I've also had trouble with VirtualBox on OS X, to the point where I now use VMWare Fusion instead when I'm on the Mac. The good news is that VirtualBox runs much more smoothly when the host OS is Linux, so it's my full virtualization solution of choice there.

In matters of artistic expression, the cheaper the statement, the more chances it gets to be heard.
The market demands barren goods with a short turnover and no resistance. As far as music is concerned, one only has to dig into the entertainment supermarket displays to find that they are packed with cheesy products: is it for hiding some treasures destined to a happy few? On the other hand, this implacable Market is crushing independent record shops and labels that aim at experienced music lovers and true curious.
Rogue Art goes against this tendency and allows original, clever and creative artists to express themselves. Rogue Art is a jazz label, in times when the word itself has lost its meaning, to such point that the great creators won't even name their music that way. Jazz is one of the big artistic revolutions of the last hundred years. Without any preconceptions, open to many influences of other forms of expression, jazz perpetually evolves, remaining only true to its own history. Jazz still lives and disturbs. It will do so relentlessly, with its complex, refined and sensitive way of expressing our energy, emotions, joy and pain, breaches, fights, hopes and despairs... of life.

"Every time we come here, it's really no fun at all," said Coach Mark Richt, who improved to 13-1 on an opponent's field. "I'm not looking forward to coming here in two years."
Georgia (2-0, 1-0 SEC) spotted South Carolina 16 points and didn't take its first lead until David Greene hit Reggie Brown with a 22-yard touchdown pass with 9:56 left in the game to give the Bulldogs their final margin of victory.
"I feel like this was a starting point for us to make a run at the championship," said safety Thomas Davis, who led Georgia's defense with nine tackles. "It showed the younger guys what it's about."
The Gamecocks (1-1, 1-1) threatened immediately after Brown's touchdown, moving the ball to Georgia's 17-yard line, but Greg Blue forced a Dondrial Pinkins' fumble with a vicious hit. Arnold Harrison recovered it on the Bulldogs' 13-yard line with 6:39 left.
"He did a little hurdle, and I was right there," Blue said. "That was Georgia defense in the fourth quarter. I hope that makes up for last week."
Georgia gave the ball right back, though, as Tyson Browning fumbled on the second play of Georgia's ensuing drive. Linebacker Ricardo Hurley recovered at the Georgia 11-yard line. Four plays later, South Carolina faced a fourth-and-one at the 7-yard line.
Georgia defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder told his defense the Gamecocks would run either a quarterback draw or quarterback bootleg, linebacker Danny Verdun Wheeler said. It was a bootleg, and Wheeler, DeMario Minter and Jarvis Jackson stopped Pinkins short of a first down.
That still didn't seal the victory thanks to a three-and-out performance from the offense. The game wasn't decided until Tim Jennings tipped a Pinkins pass and Paul Oliver intercepted it at Georgia's 41-yard line.
"I was curious to see how this team would react to something like this and I found out," Richt said. "You need to know what's in their hearts. I'm really pleased with the outcome."
Offensively, though, the news isn't as encouraging. South Carolina had three offensive series before Georgia ran its second offensive play, and the Bulldogs were shut out until Andy Bailey hit a 26-yard field goal to cut South Carolina's lead 16-3 with 6:47 left in the first half.
After another Bailey field goal, Georgia scored its first offensive touchdown since the 2000 game in Columbia. It was a 12-yard run by Browning, who was filling in for an injured Danny Ware. That score pulled Georgia to within three at 16-13 with 6:20 left in the third quarter. Michael Cooper ended up as Georgia's leading rusher with 61 yards. Browning had 54.
On the Bulldogs' last trip to Columbia, they won 13-7 despite not scoring an offensive touchdown. That was in 2002 and Georgia finished that year 13-1 and conference champions.
"There's something about this place," said Greene, who struggled but found his rhythm late and finished 19-of-38 for 213 yard, two touchdowns and one interception. "Offensively, we haven't played well here. We can't come here and just play a great game offensively."
The Bulldogs finished with 20 first downs and 367 yards of total offense on 75 plays. Brown was the leading receiver with five catches for 68 yards.
South Carolina outgained the Bulldogs per play but only got 52 plays thanks to a staunch and opportunistic Georgia defense. Troy Williamson led the Gamecocks' offense, gaining 131 yards on just three catches. He had the Gamecocks' only touchdown, a 65-yard catch with 54 seconds left in the first quarter.
"Georgia is used to winning," South Carolina coach Lou Holtz said. "They made plays when they had to."

Located between the commercial and residential hub of Barangaroo South and the headland park at Barangaroo Reserve, Central Barangaroo is destined to be the beating heart of Sydney's new waterfront precinct.
Though it is the final part of the $6 billion+ project to be defined, planned and constructed, Central Barangaroo is key to the precinct's eventual success.
The 5.2-hectare site, due to be finished in 2024, will contain the new Metro station linking the whole of Barangaroo to wider Sydney.
It will also will feature the Sydney Steps, providing not only a spectacular pedestrian entry to Barangaroo from the CBD but also a 21st Century equivalent of Rome's Spanish Steps where people will gather, greet and watch a variety of cultural and entertainment activities in the foreshore amphitheatre created below.
The planned mix of cultural, recreational, residential, retail and commercial facilities is designed to ensure Central Barangaroo becomes a new civic square on a grand scale, delivering an exciting and unique range of public and cultural activities.
With its active and vibrant waterfront, Central Barangaroo will have a character of its own. Its innovative design will enable Barangaroo to fulfil its broader objective, ensuring half of the entire precinct is dedicated to public space – including a waterfront civic plaza and part of Wulugal Walk, the new foreshore promenade that will run the entire length of Barangaroo.
Central Barangaroo will also become the first precinct of its size in Australia to be climate positive: carbon neutral, water positive and zero waste.
With the announcement of a Metro station to be located at Central Barangaroo, the Barangaroo Delivery Authority launched a new tender process on 2 December 2015 for the development of this section of the precinct. The bid process is ongoing. To learn more visit here.

longchamp expandable toteNucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) recalls his roots as a poor kid in Atlantic City while simultaneously plotting his next move in the event that Prohibition is repealed. Restaurant Magazine recently voted El Bulli the best restaurant in the world. Avon Salon & Spa's "The Pre-Nuptial" bridal treatment package includes 12 yoga sessions, 10 Endermologie sessions, manicure, pedicure, facial massage, up-do, and makeup application for $2,200 (normally $2,638 a la carte). The gloomy political and economic landscape overshadowed the few joyous moments of 2009 - England's triumph in the Ashes and the resurgence of the national football side.We get a taste of that era on the disc two, which includes scratchy, manic tunes such as Rabbit Hop (from the 1955 album Moondog and his Honking Geese), Avenue of the Americas (1953), complete with passing car noises, and the beautiful All Is Loneliness (1949), his first record. But I don't seem to care enough to double down and change it.?If I really cared, I would do SOMETHING. A good one will usually be made from both rabbit and beaver.Thymoglobulin? should only be used by physicians experienced in immunosuppressive therapy for the management of renal transplant patients. What should I see in the market on my return to France for the summer? The CGI young Jeff Bridges character, meanwhile, is particularly messy - although the tech is as good as we've seen in terms of this type of photo-realism, the character's dead eyes and weird mouth movements just don't work enough to avoid being wholly distracting - it's all a bit Polar Express, and despite being, out of context, very impressive, it's not out of context, it's in this film, surrounded by humans, and its effect is ultimately not a world away from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.,longchamp travel bagThe end of the television series in 2004 failed to dampen the tourist industry surrounding Sex and the City, and tour buses and specially chartered limos still regularly pull up on the block where Carrie lived, or by the bakery where Miranda stuffed her face with cupcakes, or outside the shop where Charlotte bought her rabbit. As for the Rabbit Hole, I've been deciding if I should see it or not.Her first appearance in Alfie was shot in slow-motion for the viewer to absorb her full Anita Pallenberg-esque beauty: 'The package was irresistible,' as Jude Law's Alfie put it - 'a show-stopper with a new-school brand of sexiness.' Another scene had her chopping a cucumber in nothing but boots and polka-dot knickers. I'm a vegetarian, not for humanitarian reasons, but because meat doesn't agree with me.longchamp in paris

That Darkened Cities link is amazing–coming from the country I always wished for better night skies when I moved to the city (first NY, then LA, now Chi). But be careful what you wish for: when the Northridge earthquake of '94 woke us up from our slumber in Venice Beach, all the lights were knocked out–eerie but beautiful.
I propose a ban on all outdoor artificial light sources, including windows, brighter than 3 candelas per square meter, and on outdoor illumination brighter than 1*10^-3 lux (lumens per square meter).* This shall only apply to artificial lighting and to light sources whose primary purpose is to provide light. Fires whose express and sole purpose is warmth and/or recreation and/or cooking are exempt.
*starlight is 5*10^-5 lux, and a candela is the light output of a candle
Edit: This ban shall only be in force between civil twilight and civil dawn.
Failing that, I propose a national "blackout night", during which non-essential light usage is strongly discouraged, just so that people can see what it looks like. It could be promoted as a green initiative, too.
Failing that, I might move to northern Canada, Alaska, central Africa, central Australia, Greenland, or the south Pacific. Then again, maybe not.
"at least we have the greatest health care system known to man!" – sorry, you definitely don't. over here in Europe the system is much, much better.
Ummm, I think that was some tongue-in-cheek on Mark's part, einstein 🙂
"Our men may have the lowest health expectancies and our women may have the second lowest, but hey, at least we have the greatest health care system known to man!"
False Dichotomy.
'false dichotomy' refers to falsely perceiving or claiming that two options are mutually exclusive and that they are the only options.
Perhaps you mean oxymoron, paradox, or cognitive dissonance?
You forgot cheeky humor, oye.
"Great" is a relative metric, but Americans do have the highest life expectancies when you remove fatal accidents from the numbers, which suggests that our healthcare system is quite exceptional at keeping us alive, especially when considering how unhealthy the average American is.
Best comment of the week to date!
That's an interesting link about getting up from the floor. I was just reading about that the other day! Maybe that's one reason Asians tend to be healthier- dont they frequently eat at very low tables while siting on the floor?
And that bundle looks great! It took me forever yesterday to download all the Ebooks, but I think it will be worth it (:
That would probably be Japanese, not Asians in general. :p
The Japanese used to spend something like 80% of their lives on the floor. Sadly, since WWII, more and more have adopted Western-style habits, including sitting on chairs and sofas. Many younger Japanese can't sit properly, or for any length of time, in the formal "seiza" kneeling position. Sad.
Thanks for the melanoma link. I started paleo six months ago when a metastases was found in my liver and I partially credit my diet with the fact that it grew very slowly and didn't multiply until treatment was possible last week. Many thanks for daily inspiration, Mark.
LOL, who valued those ebooks at $479?
The value is simply the total price that they all sell at individually. With 33 ebooks, it comes out to $14.51 per ebook.
Even if you think the value is HALF that, it's a hell of a deal.
I took advantage of the deal. Wow, what a shed load of information! It has exposed me to a whole new bunch (for me, anyway) of different paleo/primal writers. This will keep me going for ages.
Thanks for putting together the package, Toad!
You're welcome and thank YOU for being part of something that has been beyond anything I could ver imagine.
They should be valued at FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, that is how much value I feel I received from them.
My mind is BLOWN AWAY by the information, my cranium is in shreds, I do not have control of my cranium.
Ah ha! Thanks for making me laugh out loud today Joe 🙂
I am very happy that Mark did not link the soda study. Then the whole rant and rave of correlation verse causation would have started.
Could one imagine that if US health outcomes were better than other countries, defenders of our system would point to it?
Of course they would. But out outcomes are worse. And if were going to throw out outcomes (because, you know, black people) what criteria are we going to us. Cost? Ooops, seems like were screwed there too. Better throw that out.
I find it suspicious that an L.A.Times article about a study about American health statistics would mention gun use and "American culture, and the high value it places on individualism and personal autonomy," especially after I saw who backed the study. And isn't this the same L.A.Times that contributed to the failure of Prop. 37 in CA? Media, schmedia, indeed.
Gun use was cited because part of the health study was about injuries and homicides. Turns out they're significant statistics. Not sure what your suspicious of–the National Academies Press Committee on Population?
Love the article about floor living. Maybe I should go a week without sitting on my couch!
I loved this one, too! I've been thinking about springing for a Japanese style dining room table for a different touch of dining experience. Besides being close to the ground and using floor cushions as "chairs," I find them to be stunningly elegant as well. Here's what I'm thinking of: http://bit.ly/13sY4ks Beautiful, no?
Beautiful, yes! Great idea.
That is beautiful! Actually, my coffee table looks somewhat like that!
Darn! I thought the recipe would be for balut. Now THAT would be primal – you eat them when you find them, and I doubt that Grok knew or cared about candling the eggs to see what was inside! (They may have learned about floating them though, as eggs will float when rotten.)
I'll pass on the granola recipe.
I love to lay on the floor to do homework.
I used to do that. Maybe somewhere there's still a picture of me as a kid on my back on the floor with my work beside me and my cat lying across my neck.
Bring back Dr Zander's modern gym equipment I say. I'd love a Gymnasticon for the home.
The rutabaga hashbrowns look awesome!
