In 1906 Marshall B. Lloyd founded the Lloyd Manufacturing Co. The company quickly became famous for its wicker baby buggies and children's wicker furniture. By the early 1920's. Marshal B. Lloyd revolutionized the wicker industry with his Lloyd Loom, a weaving machine that could do the work of 30 men. The Heywood-Wakefield Company purchased Lloyd Manufacturing in 1921. With the introduction of more wicker furniture lines, the popularity Lloyd Loom wicker rapidly increased throughout the US and Canada. After World War II, the Menominee plant, branched out into other areas of furniture manufacturing, and produced only a small amount of wicker furniture. On December 20, 1982, Flanders Industries of Fort Smith, Arkansas, purchased the Lloyd Looms and Lloyd Manufacturing Company facilities from the bankrupt Haywood-Wakefield company. Lloyd/Flanders began producing wicker furniture from the Lloyd Looms in January, 1983. In 1985, Lloyd/Flanders introduced the first all-weather wicker furniture to the casual furniture industry with its Heirloom line. As the category of all-weather wicker grew, Lloyd/Flanders maintained it's category leadership and expanded its furniture offerings to include the new synthetic hand made wicker products being manufactured off shore. Innovation has been the hallmark of Lloyd/Flanders in its role as the leading manufacturer of all-weather wicker. Improvements in materials, processes, finishes, design, and seating continue to be introduced each new season.

Journalists and Harassment
Among the many risks journalists face, they are often targets of harassment and aggression. While harassment is a concern for all journalists, female journalists in particular are more likely to be targets [Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), 2011]. Despite increasing awareness of the issue, little is known about journalist-specific risk factors and consequences. This fact sheet summarizes key information on sexual harassment in general, as well as harassment of journalists, specifically.
What kinds of harassment are there?
Sexual harassment
Sexual harassment can take many different forms, and researchers often organize sexually harassing behaviors into three categories: gender harassment, unwanted sexual attention, and sexual coercion (Gelfand, Fitzgerald, & Drasgow, 1995).
- Gender harassment: behaviors that convey hostile attitudes towards an individual due to that person's gender.
- Unwanted sexual attention: both verbal and nonverbal behavior of a sexual nature that are considered unwelcome or offensive.
- Sexual coercion: bribes or threats affecting an individual's employment status, which are based on the sexual cooperation of that individual.
Interpersonal aggression is defined as "any form of behavior directed toward the goal of harming or injuring other individuals" (Neuman, 2012, p.15). Workplace aggression specifies that these behaviors occur in a work-related context. This definition encompasses a wide variety of behaviors from incidents of physical violence to name calling to sabotage.
What is the prevalence of sexual harassment in the general population?
- Approximately 50% of women and about 10-20% of men report having experienced sexual harassment in the workplace (Berdahl & Raver, 2010).
- Given the increased frequency of sexual harassment among women, many researchers have chosen to focus specifically on women targets, specifically.
- 35-42% of women report having experienced gender harassment.
- 15% of women report having experienced unwanted sexual attention.
- 1-6% of women report having experienced sexual coercion (Berdahl & Raver, 2010).
What is the prevalence of sexual harassment among journalists?
- 62% of female journalists report having experienced verbal sexual harassment.
- 30% of female journalists report having experienced non-verbal sexual harassment.
- 22% of female journalists report having experienced physical sexual harassment.
- 20% of female journalists report having experienced environmental sexual harassment (Flatow, 1994).
It is important to note that these numbers are drawn from convenience samples rather than through random sampling methods. This might imply some inaccuracy in rates reported, making them higher (if journalists who have experienced harassment are unwilling or unable to share their experiences) or lower (if journalists who have experienced harassment are coming forward to share their experiences). However, it is reassuring that data is consistent across studies, and consistent with statistics regarding workplace harassment more broadly.
Who harasses journalists?
According to a study on female journalists (Flatow, 1994), among those who reported experiencing sexual harassment:
- 60% were harassed by a coworker.
- 40% were harassed by a source.
- 29% were harassed by a supervisor.
- 23% were harassed by another employee in the organization, with the harassing person's position not specifically identified.
What is the impact of harassment?
People who experience violence or harassment in a workplace context are likely to suffer from a number of work-related, psychological, and physical consequences (Chan et al., 2008; Collingsworth et al., 2009; Cortina & Berdahl, 2008):
Work-related consequences
- Derive lower satisfaction from their work
- Less committed to organization
- Decline in job performance
- Work withdrawal (e.g., being late, missing work, avoiding work duties, considering leaving job altogether)
Psychological consequences
- Anger and hostility
- Lowered self-esteem
- Humiliation
- Self-blame
- Relationship distress
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Substance abuse
- Posttraumatic stress
Physical consequences
- Suppressed immune functioning
- Heightened inflammation
- Headaches
- Gastrointestinal disorders
- Sleep disturbance
- Respiratory complaints
- Pain
- Weight loss/gain
Other characteristics that have a negative impact on psychological distress involve the frequency of the harassment and the power of the perpetrator.
What is the impact of harassment on journalists?
In addition to the impacts on well-being listed above, there is another dimension to the effect of harassment on journalists. Harassing journalists may be used as a mechanism to suppress free speech or push a particular agenda. Unfortunately, there is no information currently available that sheds light on how often this occurs.
How do people cope with harassment?
According to Cortina & Berdahl (2008), common coping methods include:
- Avoiding the harasser or the harassing context. (This is the most common method of coping.)
- Tolerating or enduring the harassing treatment.
- Denying that the harassment is happening.
- Denying the seriousness of the situation or its effects.
- Seeking informal social support from colleagues, friends, and family.
- Confronting the harasser. (This is rare.)
How do journalists cope with harassment?
According to a recent study of journalists conducted by the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) and the International News Safety Institute (INSI)(INSI; 2014), journalist-specific coping behaviors include:
- Avoiding certain stories that would require them to come in contact with their harasser or avoiding reporting on particular beats.
- Seeking comfort from other journalists who have experienced something similar, both to cope and to alert others of people who pose a threat.
- Giving up working in journalism entirely.
Do people generally report harassment?
Most incidents of harassment go unreported for one or more of the following reasons: (Berdahl & Raver, 2010; Cortina & Berdahl, 2008)
- They believe their complaint will not be taken seriously.
- They believe their complaint will not be acted on appropriately.
- They don't want to be involved in something potentially controversial.
- They don't want the harasser to be punished in an official manner.
- They want to avoid having a harassment complaint on their formal employment record.
- They want to avoid secondary victimization or retaliation.
- They fear they will be blamed.
- They fear their career might be damaged.
Do journalists report harassment?
Female journalists reported being reluctant to bring incidents of harassment forward for several reasons: (IWMF & INSI, 2014)
- The reporting authority (e.g., boss, police, government official) may be the perpetrator or otherwise not trustworthy
- They wanted to avoid facing future discrimination or not being considered for opportunities available to male colleagues (e.g., certain assignments, promotions, training opportunities)
- They feared negative consequences (e.g., retaliation and demotion)
- They didn't know who to report to
- They were discouraged from talking about the harassment by a supervisor, colleague, or union representative.
- They were told to "grow up", "forget about it," or "reject or ignore inappropriate behavior"
Future Directions
Sexual harassment and aggression against journalists have a range of negative consequences and implications for individual journalists and news organizations. While awareness is increasing, there is still much to learn.
The Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma's Research Lab at the University of Tulsa is currently conducting a study to examine the impact of working conditions on journalists. One important aspect of the study concerns harassment and general stressors on both male and female. We look forward to sharing the results with you once the study has been completed.

Killdeer blanks Dickinson High JV
The Killdeer football team, which is ranked No. 2 in Class 1A, used a 27-point first half en route to a 34-0 win over the Dickinson High JV on Saturday at the Biesiot Activities Center.
Trenton Rohr accounted for the Cowboys' first three touchdowns. The junior quarterback had a pair of two-yard touchdown runs and then connected with Blake Carbaugh for a 29-yard TD strike through the air.
Killdeer's Lewis Dobitz tacked on the final two touchdowns including a 70-yard TD run on the first play of the third quarter. Dobitz finished 124 yards on five carries, while Rohr had 28 yards on seven carries. Rohr also passed for 65 yards on three completions.
For the Midgets, Charles Splichal was picked off three times in the first half. The junior quarterback also rushed for 67 yards on five carries. Collin Roller, who gained most of his yards in the second half, led Dickinson with 71 yards on 15 carries.
Matt Kukla, John Knopik and Rohr each had interceptions for the Cowboys. As a team, Killdeer had 282 yards on a 45 plays. Dickinson was limited to 182 yards on 53 plays.
A majority of the Cowboys' starters were limited to the first half, because the team travels to No. 1-ranked Hazen at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The regular season finale determines which team wins the Region 4 title and takes home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Killdeer and Hazen are both guaranteed at least one home-playoff game.

Our first trip of the year started the season off great. We had a diverse group from Paris, Colombia, Virginia, New York, California and North Carolina. We had 8 people up kiting and taking advantage of stellar wind pretty much everyday during the week. Everyone came home a little fatter (thanks to chef Kevin), tanner (thanks to plenty of sun) and with a few less brain cells (thanks to the Willy T)! Highlights included: the afore mentioned blowout at the Willy, some fantastic kiting up at Cows wreck and Sandy spit, hooked a swordfish coming back from Anegada, and had some wee-morning-hour boat excitement as we came off a mooring ball in a squall….always some good drama on a Sapphire Trip.
As usual the basic agenda was: eat, kite, eat, kite, drink, eat, sleep, repeat!

Happy Monday! I thought I'd continue my holiday appetizer roll from Friday and share these Herb Mushroom and Goat Cheese Bites with you today. With the creamy, tangy goat cheese, earthy mushrooms and chives these little gems are bound to be a hit at all of your Christmas and New Year's parties.
I got a really good deal on some goat cheese at Costco recently. Seriously, really good. However, that does mean that I also have a Costco sized package of goat cheese in my fridge. It's not a problem I mind having but in an effort to avoid simply eating with a spoon (which I may or may not have done before) I have been looking for ways to incorporate it into just about everything. I toss it in salads. Spread it on bread with some roasted garlic. Serve it with beets. You name it. Goat cheese is pretty much going in all the things.
My newest creation is these Herb Mushroom and Goat Cheese Bites.
Goat cheese is a pretty soft and spreadable cheese but since these bites are on water crackers, I wanted to ensure that the goat cheese was extra spreadable. To do this, all I did was add a couple teaspoons of heavy cream. It added a little bit of richness and turned the sometimes crumbly soft goat cheese into the perfect spread.
As if perfectly spreadable goat cheese wasn't enough, I sautéed mushrooms with summer savory, piled it on the crackers and sprinkled fresh chopped chives over the top.
I may have snacked on one…er…five…while I was making these. They are pretty darn tasty, friends, and will make an excellent addition to your holiday party spread. Trust me!
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and summer savory. Cook just until the mushrooms brown, about 5 minutes.
Mix together softened goat cheese and heavy cream until well blended.
Spread goat cheese onto crackers. Spoon mushrooms onto crackers. Sprinkle lightly with salt and chives, serve.

CSNNE.com Bruins Insider Follow @hackswithhaggs
BOSTON Boston has come to adore the 2011 edition of their Bruins hockey club, and why not?
They made Game 7 their personal jungle gym, and ended their hockey season by scarfing down chicken wings and chugging beer out of the Stanley Cup on the Boston waterfront after dusting off the Canucks in seven games.
Its no wonder why after the team electrified an old hockey town and it made some feel like theyd hopped into the DeLorean with Doc Brown and traveled back to 1972 in Boston.
But the Stanley Cup win was real for the Bruins, it was legit and it was hard-earned by a team thats passed through the fire of devastating playoff losses in previous years.
Those soul-crushing defeats made the Bruins a battle hardened bunch, and leave an extremely young nucleus set up to have a productive little run over the next five plus years.
The five-year window of competitiveness is predicated on health and good management, of course, but those continue to trend onward and upward.
Michael Ryder, Tomas Kaberle, Shane Hnidy and Mark Recchi stand as the only unrestricted free agents for the Bruins headed into Julys free agency period, and the 43-year-old Recchi has already announced his retirement.
Hnidy could possibly be back in a bit role of some kind at 36 years old after participating in only a handful of games at the end of the season after shoulder surgery, but the big questions surround both Ryder and Kaberle.
Either one could be back or neither could return to Boston next season and beyond.
Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli freely admitted the Bs wont be big players in free agency given a mature young roster and a farm system bursting with young, affordable talent ready to replace the older models.
Match that with the possibility of having close to 10 million in salary cap space if Ryder and Kaberle walk and the cap goes up by the 5 million its rumored to be rising to, and there is unprecedented flexibility in the future for the Bruins.
With young, cheaper alternatives like Jordan Caron and Steve Kampfer waiting in the wings, there is every chance both Ryder and Kaberle and their combined 8 million salary cap hit will be leaving Boston unless either veteran is willing to take super duper hometown discounts.
Ryder should be on one-year contracts going forward to keep the fire burning in the Newfoundland native, but he has proven he can elevate when Boston needs him in the playoffs. That is certainly worth something along with his tight relationship with Claude Julien.
But its not worth a long term commitment at anything more than 2-2.5 million when there are other young wingers pushing in the Bs system, and plenty of solid alternatives looking for employment.
Thats life in the salary cap world of the NHL, and its something Chiarelli has freely embraced.
Whats perhaps more troubling headed into next year is that not a single one of the last 11 Stanley Cup champs have gone on to repeat the following year, and a staggering six out of those 11 talented Cup teams couldnt make it out of the first round of the playoffs.
One of those teams, the Carolina Hurricanes, actually didnt even qualifying for the postseason the following year.
Weve got a pretty good group still intact thats at a very manageable age, said Chiarelli. I dont think were going to run into that risk of a Stanley Cup hangover, but you know...Im not the most objective on that since Im making the roster. But Im going to try and be.
Were going to continue to tweak the roster. Were not going to be huge players in free agency, but you know were going to look at it. Weve got areas where we want to look at, but youre not going to see us hitting a few homerunsor whats perceived as home runs this summer. Were just going to go into it with our eyes wide open and see where we end up. Were certainly not going to be big players.
One issue at the top of Chiarelli and Juliens summer punch list: making sure everybody is healthy and well-rested with only a couple of months to go before training camp starts all over again in September.
Nathan Horton has a shoulder injury and severe concussion that both need to heal fully, and there could be other bumps and bruises announced this weekend that will need rest, rehab and perhaps even surgery.
Marc Savard looms as the biggest question both in terms of the on-ice plan and the salary cap ramifications.
Savards 4 million plus salary cap hit would eat away some of the money gained by losing RyderKaberle if No. 91 does indeed attempt to play next year but there is every indication the concussed centers career might be done while still battling with memory loss and other debilitating effects of post-concussion syndrome.
With Savard potentially gone, it could very easily be a 1-2-3 center set of David Krejci, Patrice Bergeron and Tyler Seguin that is young, fast, and bound to continue improving as they hit their late 20s with the experience of dozens of playoff games under their collective belts.
The Bruins have already envisioned sliding Rich Peverley into the right wing spot alongside Bergeron and Brad Marchand on the second line, and granting that duo another speedy, two-way option capable of scoring some goals and creating offense. Recchi brought an experienced, steady hand and a huge helping of toughness around the net, but that trio could really fly with Peverley and Marchand burning it up on the wings.
Speaking of flying, thats something the third line could have starting next year with Seguin and Kelly shifting between wing and center, and Caron potentially getting first crack next year on the left wing after serving as a Black Ace during the Cup run.
That leaves one very big question for Bostons smallest player this summer: how much is it going to cost to resign restricted free agent Brad Marchand after he potted 20 goals during the regular season and exploded for 11 more in the playoffs.
The Bs obviously arent going to let Bostons favorite troublemaking imp get away from their grip, but its not going to be cheap for a player that exceeded everyones expectations. Marchand could command something in the 2-3 million range, though it should be noted that the Bruins still hold leverage over the 23-year given his restricted free agency distinction.
Above and beyond Marchand, the Bruins should be looking for a quality defenseman that could step into the mix and given them the puck-moving blueliner with a little bit of toughness that Kaberle clearly was not. The former Leafs defenseman settled down in the Cup Final and even managed a few points for the Bruins, but he was also never trusted for more than 12-14 minutes per game in the postseason.
There is a ton of quality on the restricted free agency market when it comes to forward and defensemen, but there are a couple of problems. The premier players at both spots Shea Weber and Zach Parise both announced on Friday that theyd entered into salary arbitration with the Predators and Devils respectively. So no team can shanghai them with an offer sheet, and the Bruins wouldnt have been able to do that anyway.
With their conditional 2012 second round pick now gone to Toronto with the Bruins getting to the Cup Final, the Bs cant offer more than 4.7 million to a restricted free agent without recollecting their second rounder.
Still RFA names like Drew Doughty, Zach Bogosian and Keith Yandle are sitting out there as candidates for a creative offer sheet, but it would have to between 3.1-4.7 million for Boston to make an offer. Not out of the realm of possibility, and sources indicated that the Bruins had discussions with the Thrashers about Bogosian around the NHL trade deadline.
So thats a possibility to revisit as is Vancouver Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa as he enters unrestricted free agency and was similarly bandied about by the Bruins during the Savard trade talks last summer. But its also entirely possible the Bruins pick up minor additions at wing and defenseman once the bargains hit at the end of the summer, and they see what their young players can do before hitting the trade market in earnest next spring.
It all depends on how well the Bruins can fight the Stanley Cup hangover, and how lucky they are with injuries and personnel this season. Chiarelli knows one thing: his group will have boat loads of character and resolve.
You just continue to pick away at it with the same thing: the performances we got from guys. Tim Thomas performance is historic, said Chiarelli reflecting on the group hes put together. You know the common theme in the team-building plan was character. I remember talking about being hard to play against and closing gaps.
Its character and at the end of the daythats what I wanted for us. My father was at Games Three and Four in Boston and after Game Four I said to him were going to win the cup. He said I think you will too, but why? and I said because theres too much resolve in the locker room. You could just feel it and at the end of the day thats what happened.
Luckily for the Bruins both the familiar faces and the character-based resolve will once again return to Boston next season along with the chance to be defending champs for the first time in nearly 40 years.

"Very clean, nice linens on bed, very quiet at night, felt very safe. This apartment worked well for our family with 2 small children. It would have been tight if they had been older, or if we'd stayed longer. It was frustrating that the wi-fi internet didn't work, although internet was accesible using the cable. Only a problem when we both wanted to be able to use our computer."

Nolan Reimold has never played a full season in an Orioles uniform or had more than 358 at-bats. He has just one more chance before his 30th birthday.
That's right. Reimold turned 29 on Oct. 12, and that makes him older than Matt Wieters and Adam Jones. He is a month older than Nick Markakis, a player that has 4,055 career at-bats to his 808.
Is it possible that at the age of 29, the Orioles still can't be sure exactly what they have in Reimold? They need to see what he could do with a full season's worth of at-bats, but he hasn't been able to stay healthy enough to get them and show his stuff.
Last season, Reimold went on the disabled list May 1 and underwent surgery on June 25. Neck spasms led to a herniated disc which led to surgery and now Reimold hopes he can be a full go by spring training.
With several health issues since his rookie year in 2009, Reimold is reaching the point where the club can't count on him moving forward. But he still also seems to be at the point where they are not ready to give up on his potential.
Reimold began the 2012 season with a red-hot bat. Over 16 games, until his latest injury, he hit .313 with six doubles, five homers, 10 RBIs, a .627 slugging percentage and OPS of .960. He hit five homers in a six-game span from April 13-20. He went 5-for-11 with runners in scoring position. He did all that batting leadoff, if anyone can even remember that. But it was Reimold atop the order when the year began.
In his career, Reimold has an on-base percentage of .338, a slugging average of .455 and a .794 OPS. Only three O's regulars bettered that OPS last season with Adam Jones at .839, Nick Markakis at .834 and Chris Davis at .827.
To me, there is no question Reimold has the tools and talent to be a major force in the O's lineup. You have to wonder what it would look like if he could stay on the field.
How should the O's look at Reimold now: As a promising player that will finally live up to his potential in 2013, or an injury risk that has to prove his health before he gets a real chance with the club? What is your take on Reimold and his Orioles future?

Looking for a Halloween costume? Well, be careful because believe it or not, who you choose to pretend to be says worlds about your character, beliefs and personality and, if your goal is to tell the world that you're a sniveling, whiny little wuss who could get their ass handed to them by a Cabbage Patch Kid, then by all means go with one of these evil characters.
10. Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs
The guy is grade-A evil, but you wouldn't know it by his behavior. He puts on makeup, listens to low-grade '80s dance music and videotapes himself dancing to them completely naked with his junk tucked in, that is if he has any. I know I don't when I watch him onscreen because the very sight of him makes my testicles shrink as if they are spending their spring break at the Arctic Circle.
He also has a pampered poodle named "Precious" he takes with him wherever he goes, which not only proves his indifference and amusement with other people's suffering but explains why Paris Hilton treats her hairless rat of a dog better than anyone who can't get her into some exclusive euro-club.
9. The aliens from Signs
M. Night Shamayllama, Shanana, Shamalamadingdong or however the hell you spell his name rarely has what can be considered "true monsters" in his movies, and that's probably a good thing because the twists he applies to his movies with the force of a medical tourniquet would forever ruin them. If he directed the next Godzilla remake, we would find out in the end that the giant fire breathing destructive mutant lizard is just a Japanese guy in a giant rubber suit.
In Signs, the audience discovers that the big bad-ass aliens who have been terrorizing everyone for the last 90 minutes by appearing on screen for a few measly seconds are fatally allergic to water. If even a drop touches their leathery skin, they shrivel up and die. Here on Earth, we call that shrinkage, so basically the aliens are just highly evolved, mutant enlarged penises.
8. The killer clowns from Killer Klowns from Outer Space
We have to admit that clowns are inherently scary. Something so joyous and happy has to be hiding mountains of pure evil to make up for it. And if you're so evil that you can't contain it, the best way to reach your victims is to wear a constant smile on your face and appear to be the happiest thing in the universe. There is a reason parents tell their kids not to take candy from strangers…because it works.
These clowns, or "klowns" as the title so humorously spells them, take the same tactic, but look like big dumb stupid clowns who use toys and candy to capture their victims. So in essence, they are basically interstellar child predators and only Dateline NBC's Chris Hansen can stop them. The only reason they've been able to capture so many humans is because they landed in a town that's dumb enough not to think to shoot the bastards until an hour and a half into the movie.
7. Norman Bates from Psycho
The guy screams creepy and you probably wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley or a badly lit cutlery store, but he's got a wussy streak that couldn't be polished away even with industrial strength Windex.
He's a total momma's boy. He can't do anything without his mother's ever-present shadow hanging over him. He can't leave the house without his mother. He can't meet a woman without his mother stabbing her to death in the shower. He can't even kill someone on his own without the approving eye of his mother. He's even wussier when you realize that HE is actually his mother.
6. The Dark Lord from Legend
Imagine this: you are the master of evil and the ruler of darkness and no, you're not Dick Cheney.
You have the power to summon fire with the simple raising of your arms. You have an army of mindless minions at your disposal. You can bring darkness and despair to every corner of the world with nothing more than a simple sneer and your scratchy voice and no, you're still not Dick Cheney.
You combine all of these awesome powers to steal the horns off of two unicorns in order to destroy sunlight. That doesn't make you the world's most powerful demon. That's make you an eighth grade girl who wishes her "My Little Pony" dolls would come to life.
5. Imhotep from The Mummy
He's got super strength and the power of angry, vengeful, ancient Egyptian gods on his side. But when you break down all of his other monster qualifications, he would have a hard time getting his resume approved at the Board of Directors of Evil without half a dozen overpaid supervisors laughing in his undead face.
He's big and slow and lumbering, so if you're running from him, chances are you'll have an easy time getting away. Kirstie Alley could outrun this bastard. Plus, he's the most pussy whipped monster of all time. He comes back to life and is willing to do anything for the approval of his long lost loved one. In other words, it's the Bill Clinton story with pyramids.
4. Sully from Monsters Inc.
You wouldn't expect a monster from a children's movie to be very tough and foreboding, but Sully takes his wussiness to an even lower level, which ranks somewhere just below an Arena League football player who cries every time he gets tackled and just above every high school glee club president who ever lived.
His job is to scare little children while they sleep, which in any other circumstance would be downright creepy. But when he's not on the clock, he's just another big dumb lug who falls for cute cuddly things and amusing little children. If you're a monster, you should be scary and terrifying around the clock whether you earn time-and-a-half for it or not.
3. Frankenstein
He may be one of the most iconic and famous monsters of all time...the one by whom just about every monster who ever lived is measured. But if you strip away the undead flesh and the uncontrollable rage and the destructive tendencies, he's also one of the biggest wusses of all time. Just don't tell him that to his face unless you want him to rip it off.
He's a big lumbering mess with the mind of a child with learning disabilities as evidenced by his amusement of throwing flowers into a pond and his easy distraction by things like fire and small children. He's basically a big dumb high school jock, any of them, only with less stitches in his head and higher SAT scores.
2. Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors
First of all, he's a giant plant that can't walk. So if it eats you, that means you were outsmarted by a plant and you deserve to get eaten. It's God's way of weeding you out of his garden.
Secondly, if the plant doesn't kill you, his meek and unintelligent slave Seymour has to kill you in order to feed you to it. So if a plant loving nerd who goes to the emergency room every time someone gives him a wet willy can kick your ass, that makes you twice as wussy as if you were killed by the plant. Then you don't just deserve to get eaten. You deserve to get eaten and reincarnated as a hot dog.
1. The Ruler from Plan 9 from Outer Space
He's the general of an interstellar alien army but he really belongs in the Village People's Navy.
The Ruler, as he's only known in Ed Wood's classic movie probably because that's how he disciplines his troops by using one to administer a darn good spanking, looks and sounds like a limp wristed, well-to-do socialite who always has shirtless pool boys at his house, even though he doesn't own a pool. He never does any fighting in the movie and that's probably a good thing because if he did, it would probably involve a lot of limp wristed hand slapping and finger snapping followed by a rousing "Oh no you didn't."
It really would have ruined the whole movie.

Another writerly moment to celebrate today. I'm happy to announce my first audiobook is now available for sale. You can find To His Lady's Rescue at Audible.com, Amazon and iTunes.
Arranging and contracting the making of an audiobook has been an exciting learning adventure. Thank goodness, there's ACX where authors, narrators and producers can hook up and work together. Finding the perfect narrator is a difficult undertaking.
With that being said, it never ceases to amaze me how serendipity sometimes plays an intregal part in my life and decision-making process. It certainly played an important part in helping me to find the most awesome narrator for my first audiobook project.
Here's how it happened:
My husband was talking to a coworker, and somehow the conversation turned toward what I did for a living. James told her I was an author and how I published on Kindle and Nook, and that I was wanting to make my books available in audio. Well, this woman said she had a good friend who did voice-over work and narrations for a living.
And that's how I got in touch with the fabulously talented Pearl Hewitt and VoiceNeeds. We exchanged emails and she auditioned for me on ACX. From the first moment I heard Pearl's voice reading my story, I knew I had found the perfect narrator for my Regency Romances. As I sat listening, I was enthralled in the story and couldn't believe I had actually written the text. Pearl made the story come alive and because she had experience with working through ACX, she helped me through every step in the process.
A cool thing about working with Pearl is that she lives fairly close to where I live. When we finished our book, we met for a celebratory luncheon. And since we'd exchanged emails, texted, talked on the phone and worked on the project together, it didn't take very long at that first meeting to feel like we'd known each other forever. That really made this first audio venture extra special for me.
Making audiobooks is a team effort. When you find the right narrator for your story, you have to give up a little of the control and trust the professionals to do their job. If you've chosen well, they will make your work sound brilliant.
Happy Listening!!!
Anne Marie :)

Countries That Smoke The Most Cigarettes
Extrapolations from WHO and CIA Factbook data indicate scary smoking trends in certain parts of the world.
Everywhere in the developed world, as the bans on cigarette smoking in public have been increasingly made into law, tobacco consumption has went into decline. This was especially seen in major western cities in the US, Canada, and Europe over the past couple of decades. The same thing happened in China, where the public smoking ban was stringent enforced with large fines attached. However, the World Health Organization has a new study claiming that smoking is on the rise again, but this time in developing countries. Its 2014 research findings show that, of the 1 billion smokers in the world today, about 80% are to be found in developing countries. The following list of countries with the most smokers, based on data provided by the World Health Organization and CIA Factbook.
10. Samoa (40.9% of adults; limited consumption data)
Samoa has an estimated 40.9% of its adults being smokers across the country. Statistics show that more men than women have adapted to the habit. It has been established that about 3,800 children and 28,000 adults in the country are regular smokers. Although the public has been made aware of the dangers and risks associated with tobacco smoking, many Samoans have continued to deny its dangers. There is therefore a need to enforce more action on the smoking public in Samoa.
9. Bosnia and Herzegovina (42.2% of adults; 14.8 cigarettes per smoker per day)
Bosnia and Herzegovina's data shows that 42.2% of adults in the country smoke, and those that do use an average of 14.8 cigarettes per day. This country also has some of the lowest cigarette prices in Europe. Some statistics even show that over half of adults in the smoke. One of the measures taken against tobacco smoking in the country was the establishment of the International Tobacco Control Conference.
8. Serbia (42.3% of adults; 19 cigarettes per smoker per day)
Serbia has a total of about 42.3% of its adults smoking, and they are consuming an average of around 19 cigarettes per day. This is due to lax smoking laws and no ban at all on smoking in public places. Statistics show that Serbians smoke more than most Europeans. Lately, however, the Serbian government has taken steps in curbing the habit by passing laws against smoking in public places. The government is taking steps against the public's claim that smoking is part of its culture.
7. Belarus (42.4% of adults; 14.6 cigarettes per smoker per day)
Belarus has an estimated 42.4% of its adults being smokers among its population, and these consume on average 14.6 cigarettes per day. Its Ministry of Health estimates that 65% of its high school and college students are partaking in the habit. Cigarette prices in the country are cheap, and the lack of smoking bans encourages Belarusian youth to adopt the habit. Much of the cheap cigarettes found elsewhere in the EU also come from Belarus.
6. Austria (43.3% of adults; 10.4 cigarettes per smoker per day)
Austria has an estimated 43.3% of its adults smoking 10.4 cigarettes per day. This may be due to the country's relaxed ban on smoking. An example would be the exception of the ban on small restaurants, while the larger establishments need only provide a non-smoking section. Another setback is that public resistance is high in Austria, where the habit has really taken root culturally. Considering that even hospitals permit cigarette vendors and kiosks to do business in their vicinities, it would take much stricter laws to stamp out smoking in the country.
5. Ukraine (43.3% of adults; 15.2 cigarettes per smoker per day)
Ukraine's smoking population constitutes about 43.3% of its adults, and they are smoking around 15.2 cigarettes each per day. A smoking ban has been implemented in all outdoor and indoor public places. Although there has been a decrease recently in smoking, there are four times as many smokers in the teenage group than in the older age bracket. More smokers can be found in the country's western regions than in the eastern regions.
4. Russia (48.3% of adults; 15.8 cigarettes per smoker per day)
Russia has an estimated 48.3% of its adults smoking at least 15.8 cigarettes per day. Cigarette manufacturers in Russia were not regulated until very recently. A smoking ban in all public places indoors and outdoors was implemented in June of 2014, and tobacco sponsorship of events and tobacco advertisement were also prohibited. Warnings about smoking were also made more visible in the public places. In Russia, smoking rates among males are much higher than among females.
3. Nauru (49.3% of adults; 3.5 cigarettes per smoker per day)
Nauru has the third highest percentage at 49.3% of adult smokers, though apparently consuming a relatively meager total of 3.5 cigarettes per smoker per day. It is ironic, since Nauru is the world's smallest island nation, and whose population is less than 10,000 people, and was once considered as having a high standard of living. Here, more than half of the female population smoke, while around 50% of men smoke. This trend goes against global norms for much higher rates among female smokers than males, and may partially explain the low per smoker cigarette consumption there, if most of these female smokers only do so in social settings, which is common among that demographic.
2. Greece (51.7% of adults; 16 cigarettes per smoker per day)
Greece has the second highest percentage, at 51.7% of adults being smokers, with a total of 16 cigarettes per smoker per day. Statistics show that this was the highest in the EU in 2010. Although two smoking bans in public places have been instituted in Greece, smoking is still rampant, and few have paid much attention to the bans at all.
1. North Korea (58.6% of adult males; limited consumption data)
North Korea tops the list with about 58.6% of adult male smokers ignoring the ban in smoking at public places. North Koreans still smoke in parks, cinemas, offices, restaurants, and onboard trains. The age group 15 and up comprise the highest percentage of smokers in the country. Data on North Korean female smokers and cigarette consumption there are limited.

The Esteem Hearing Aid is totally implantable and therefore invisible. Many people with hearing problems dislike using conventional hearing aids as there is a negative social stigma attached with them. This problem is overcome with the Esteem Hearing Implant as all parts of the aid are invisible. Importantly, this new technology allows patients to hear more naturally and restores their life to normal living. The product is maintenance free for five to nine years after which the battery will need to be replaced, and then patients can continue enjoying the Esteem Hearing Implant benefits.
The device (based on pacemaker technology) is implanted under the skin behind the ear. Two leads extend into the middle ear from the device. Sound waves travel into the ear canal and set the ear drum (tympanic membrane) into motion causing the bones of the middle ear to vibrate. The device senses these movements and delivers a customized dose of energy to the cochlea which transmits the signals to the brain. The brain interprets the signals as hearing, which allows the patient to experience a new world of sound.
This device uses the ear's natural anatomy and the result is that patients describe a clarity and fidelity of sound that is near normal. Due to the basic laws of physics and human physiology, attempts with conventional artificial methods to improve hearing, such as hearing aids, do not possess this capability.
Background Noise is the one of the biggest complaints for people wearing hearing aids. Taking part in a conversation at a restaurant, with a group of friends, at a business meeting are usually the most difficult situations for hearing aid wearers. Yet, these are situations they want most to be a part of but are excluded from when using normal hearing aids. Patients using the Esteem Hearing Implant report that they hear better with this device leading to improved understanding and more enjoyment of life, regardless of their background environment.
The Esteem Hearing Implant, in contrast to conventional hearing aids, is not a simple sound amplifier. It enhances your own anatomy's ability to process sound. The device increases the energy delivered to the cochlea via the middle ear thus clarifying the signals delivered to the auditory nerve.
The surgical procedure is well tolerated with a rapid recovery time as well as being totally invisible. This coupled with the improved hearing makes the Esteem Hearing Implant a revolutionary choice for people with hearing problems.

Treasured Moments: Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester Clark's Three Little Monkeys
There are few animals that capture the charm, the delight, the physical energy, the innocent mischief and the warm, comforting snuggles of childhood better than a monkey. My youngest has always been fixated on these lovely creatures. One of my most treasured moments from his early childhood, as he was just learning to speak, was how he would refer to his cherished, soft monkey toy as "monkey-a". The "monkey-a" was the kind with extra long arms that have velcro at the ends, so it can dangle around your neck while you play. We still give each each other "monkey-a hugs" when we are being silly, saying good byes or just need a moment to think about less complicated times.
At the ripe old age of 7 my son still paints monkeys, acts monkeys, writes about monkeys and loves to read any story about a monkey while snuggling with his mummy at the end of a hard day. Cuddling up with a newly-bathed boy under the duvet and giggling over a monkey story is one of life's truly under-appreciated moments; especially after a long day at work.
Sir Quentin Blake has teamed up with Emma Chichester Clark to create a definitive bedtime picture book for young children: Three Little Monkeys. Hilda Snibbs is a metropolitan dame who has three little pet monkeys, Tim, Sam and Lulu – they are extremely lively.

During my career time I had a chance to participate in many interesting and challenging projects. Apart these three major skills listed on the right I have some others.

How can I restrict a user from installing to the C: drive? no admin PW
I have two main drives on my comp.: a C: - an SSD, and H: and HDD.
I have multiple user accounts, and another user of this PC never pays attention to where he is installing new software, so puts everything onto the SSD as it is always given as the first suggestion when installing anything (C:\Program Files\...).
And we end up having random games, mini-software, all sorts of stuff, taking up space on the precious SSD.
I do NOT want to completely forbid this user to install anything. The user should have access to everything, and this is why I did not put an admin password (before install wizards open up on non-admin accounts there is a dialog to insert password).
What would be a good solution?
I tried removing all permissions in the security tab on the C: drive properties, but some warnings popped up and I reverted everything back to how it was, as the dialogs suggested.
Also, if it is made invisible, I also want it to not show up in the install wizards (which is the main goal).
I found this quota thing, but would it help if there is no admin password and the user can install to C anyway?
Much thanks in advance.

I would instruct the user NOT to install to the SSD, there are normally options for where to install.

Only users with admin rights can install programs and trying to restrict what such users can do is an exercise in futility. By design all admin accounts are equal. The built in Administrator account is somewhat different but not relevant to the present situation.

well.. I know this guy and he just isn't listening when I tell him to organize things. He is generally not very organized, and this method does not work.
|My System Specs

Well, to be blunt, it's my computer and I determine what goes on it. If the user doesn't like, he's free to buy his own and the internet access to go with it.

@LMiller7 I am ok with this person installing anything he likes - there is plenty of space on the H: drive. He won't make a pile of viruses so that's not a problem, but just the C: disk... Putting an admin password is, as I said, not something I want.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Playing with permissions in program files may in theory achieve this, but it has two problems: he'll get a rare "access denied" error when trying to do so, not something really descriptive. And also, as he's an admin, he's also able to lift the permissions issue by himself.
Another option would be to use disk quotas. I'm not sure how well they actually work, but by giving him a low limit may restrict installers from using C, opting for the other disk instead. It may create problems when saving to my documents in C too, and like everything else, he's capable of removing the limit himself.
I doubt there can be any effective method of limiting it with him being an admin. That's why standard accounts are for.
|My System Specs
|17 Mar 2014
I agree. The solution here is clearly to change his to a Standard Account so that when he makes any changes it requires you to insert a password. Just check what he is installing before signing off on it. This will teach him to interact with you about making changes to your PC in the way that you want. If he cooperates then you can promote him to Administrator again. It is a highly optional on your property.

Israel is tied with
Canada, Switzerland, and Australia as the world's eighth happiest
country out of 155 surveyed, according to a Gallup World Poll posted by Forbes Thursday. Forbes
said the richest countries were by and large the happiest. Scandinavian
countries dominated the list, with Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden,
and the Netherlands taking all top five spots. African nations took up
most of the bottom, with Sierra Leone, Cambodia (not African), Comoros,
Buriundi, and Togo ranking as the unhappiest countries on earth.

RELATED:Hot dates better than a big bonusThank goodness Brown rejected me!Israel
far outstripped its neighbors in happiness, with Jordan ranking 52,
Lebanon 73, Egypt and Syria 115. The Palestinian Territories were 88 on
the list.The US ranked number 14 on the list, ahead of Britain, 17. Iran came in at the middle, with 81. War-torn Iraq ranked 110, and Afghanistan 115.The
four-year survey asked thousands of respondents in the 155 countries to
give a "life evaluation" score between one and ten, and cataloged their
daily feelings to decide what percentage of people in each country were
"thriving, struggling, or suffering." The survey was taken between 2005
and 2009."Money is an object that many or most people desire,
and pursue during the majority of their waking hours," researchers wrote
in the report. "It would be surprising if success at this pursuit had
no influence whatsoever when people were asked to evaluate their lives."

Beyond the BRAT diet... Any suggestions?
So my dd has been sick the entire weekend and now she can't even keep down the brat diet. Any food suggestions? I feel so bad, she really hasn't eaten in 48 hours. She's 11.
I don't have any suggestions but I hope she gets well soon.
Small sips of Gatorade and soda crackers. At least one cracker and small glass of Gatorade every hour wake her up to give it to her if you need to. Make sure she takes the Gatorade in sips and has a small amount.
She's probably just down to broth and clear liquids at this point- jello, ginger ale, broth, water. If she starts feeling a little better she could try some crackers and a little plain or vanilla yogurt but I wouldn't do that just yet.
Hope she gets better....for stomach upset we do Sprite and crackers...old remedy(corn syrup) to coat stomach.

The airline had a return on invested capital (ROIC) of 17.1 percent for the 12 months ended June 30. Its stated goal is 15 percent.
Here's chairman and CEO Gary Kelly's statement in Southwest's announcement:
"Operating an airline is the ultimate team sport, and this was a total team effort. Together we have weathered the worst decade in the history of commercial aviation. Together, we stepped up to the challenge. Together we avoided bankruptcy. Together, we have transformed Southwest.
"We are all one team at Southwest Airlines, and when the company does well, our employees do well. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that we will be 'Recognizing Our Internal Customers' with a one-time, ROIC Cash Award of $200 each as a thank you for all their hard work. We are delighted to be able to recognize this milestone with our employees.
"My hearty congratulations and thanks go to our hard-working and dedicated employees for our outstanding second quarter results, which resulted in record quarterly profitsharing expense of $127 million. In comparison, the company contributed approximately $228 million for the full year toward employees' profitsharing accounts in 2013.
"The 2013 profitsharing payment was the largest total dollar amount ever allocated directly to employees in a single year. Southwest Airlines was the first in the industry to offer a profitsharing plan for employees, setting the foundation for a long history of sharing profits with employees and rewarding employees for company success. Our people earned this reward, tirelessly working toward our vision of becoming the world's most loved, most flown, and most profitable airline."
Based on its June 30 payroll of 45,508 full-time equivalent employees, the $200 bonus will cost about $9.1 million.
The payout comes as Southwest is deep in labor talks with most of its unions. Transport Workers Union Local 555, which represents fleet service clerks, baggage handlers and other ground workers, put out a highly critical video last week that blasted the company.
The video alleged that the company wasn't sharing profits with employees, wanted to outsource jobs and hire more part-time employees, wouldn't provide baggage handlers with water and other such claims.
