Our great escape...in a prison van! Family's bank holiday fun in unique motorhome
IT ISN'T the most obvious mode of transport for a getaway.
But one family will this weekend be enjoying a break in a motorhome built from a rusty old prison van.
Alex Saunders, 42, bought the five-ton van, complete with lockable cell doors and peep-holes for the guards, for just £3,000 on eBay.
The painter and decorator then spent 18 months and £4,000 stripping the 22ft-long vehicle out and turning it into his dream campervan.
He replaced the steel doors to the six cells and graffiti-scrawled inner walls with bunk beds and a fully functional kitchen along with under-floor heating and a bathroom.
He then built an L-shaped sofa which transforms into a double bed to go in front with a table for the family to use at meal times.
Alex has already taken his wife Sarah, 40, and their sons Connor, 15, and Bailey, 12, on two trips this year.
Yesterday the family set off again from their home in Andover, Hampshire, for a Bank Holiday tour of the Peak District.
I saw the van on eBay and thought it would be ridiculous but I kept going back and looking and the more I thought about it the more it made sense
Proud Alex said: "I saw the van on eBay and thought it would be ridiculous but I kept going back and looking and the more I thought about it the more it made sense.
"There's a few scratches on the windows that I left there to keep its character.
"It was used up in Scotland and we don't know who might have been it in but it was creepy to think some of the most dangerous criminals and all sorts of people might have been in it. It was pretty grim when I first went in there. It smelt like a mixture of blood and old soup which had been spilt everywhere.
"It was miserable but it's a much happier place to be now.
"It already had a heating system and great insulation. Prison vans have better insulation than some houses so we don't even need to use the heating. I got stuck in to the task of converting it straight away.
"I've tried to keep some of the original features so the van maintains some of its character but I had to get rid of some of the graffiti which included some choice words and images."
The 2004 van used to belong to security firm Reliance but it sold off some of its fleet when it lost the Scottish courts contract to G4S in 2011. Alex's costs included £500 for strengthening the vehicle's chassis and another £500 on tools, £750 on plywood to make furniture and lino for the floor and £800 for bespoke cushions and mattresses.
He said: "I've spent 18 months doing it up properly and following the plans my wife had drawn up. I tore out the cells and then started at the back with a tape measure and worked forwards, just making sure I made every bit of the van comfortable and practical for a family.
"There are bunk beds at the back for the lads, a bathroom and kitchen down the side and an L-shaped sofa at the front that is also a double bed.
"I covered the outside with grey enamel and then my wife wanted flowers so I stencilled them on the outside and she painted over them."

New Zealand Rugby
Conrad Smith hopes Ma'a Nonu returns
August 1, 2013

Ma'a Nonu has some work to do if he wants to return to the Hurricanes next season, his All Blacks team-mate Conrad Smith said after the Highlanders confirmed they wouldn't offer the game-breaking centre a contract for 2014 after a disappointing Super Rugby season.
Nonu's playing future is increasingly murky after successive lacklustre one-season campaigns with the Blues, in 2012, and Highlanders, in 2013, after leaving the Hurricanes under a cloud in 2011 following a clash with Mark Hammett as the coach set about changing elements of the club's culture.
"There's a bit to go through," Smith said on Wednesday as he and Nonu assembled at the two-day All Blacks camp in Auckland. "That's obviously why it's taken as long as it has. I don't know where it's going to end up. I think there'd have to be a bit of shifting on his account."
Smith said he'd first been asked about Nonu's return to the Hurricanes about a month ago. "I just said in terms of playing, I'd love to have him there," Smith said. "But I appreciate there's a bigger picture and a lot of other things to go through."
Smith said Hammett had told him that Nonu had approached the franchise. "The issue hadn't come to a head at that stage, but they'd obviously been sounded out and he just sort of wanted to get my opinion. It was literally a two-minute conversation."
Hammett and Nonu met last week in Wellington, where Nonu has played for his club side, but the Hurricanes coach refused to comment about the nature of the discussion.
Nonu performed strongly for the All Blacks during the 3-0 home sweep of France in June, reinforcing the viewpoint of critics who say he doesn't produce his best at Super Rugby level.
The 79-Test veteran then missed the final two rounds of the Highlanders' poor season after being sent off for an illegal tackle against the Crusaders on June 29.
Smith said he was hopeful the powerful second five-eighth could return to the Hurricanes.
"I'm always an optimist and I think that it can be done."

Large selection of hydraulic seals meets requirements of diverse applications{{1480430794381| date:'MMM d, yyyy hh:mm a'}} REDWIRE is news you can use from leading suppliers. Powered by FRASERS.

Daemar's lineup of hydraulic seals includes many different types. From loaded lip seals and piston seals, to wear rings, wear strips and more, the company's wide selection of seals means it has the capability to meet the needs of many applications.
Loaded lip seals
Loaded lip seals are a versatile, multi-purpose product because they can be used as rod or piston seals. They are designed for significantly improved performance.
Piston seals
These two-part seals provide bi-directional sealing without any lubrication required. They are easy to install and remove, and can be cut in the field for even easier installation.
T seals
This compact unit is an excellent alternative to bulkier types of seals in a double- or single-acting application. It is ideal for use in reciprocating hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, and in high-pressure applications.
Wear rings
DMR wear rings, made of glass-filled nylon, eliminate metal-to-metal contact and the subsequent galling and scoring of cylinder bores and rods.
Wear strips
Designed to eliminate scoring in hydraulic and pneumatic applications, wear strips are manufactured from PTFE and a fortified 40 per cent bronze material to prevent metal-to-metal contact. They are supplied in continuous rolls, and are ideal for use in reciprocating, rotary and oscillating motion environments.
U cups
These units are self-sealing on both the inside and outside diameter. They are most often used for sealing rams or rods, and are very popular due to the small gland space required.
Piston cups
Primarily used on piston heads, plungers or rams in hydraulic or pneumatic service, piston cups are known for their low cost and excellent service life.
Additional seals
Daemar also carries a selection of rod and metric wipers, v packing, backup rings and buffer rings to meet its customers' hydraulic seal needs. To learn more about the products available, contact Daemar.

It's over y'all. My favorite month is over.
On the flip side, I look back and smile. God was good. He was really, really good. But, He always is! Join me as I reflect on the month.
7 6 things I learned in February.
1.) I like yoga. Well, I kinda like yoga. I like it more than I did last month. Actually…..maybe I don't like it at all. No I do. I do.
I really don't. And I'm not trying to convince myself – I don't hate it, so that means I like it. Right? I've heard that if you stick with it, it's the absolute best thing you can do for your body. Not sure that's true, but it sounds good. Yoga can be very.., um.. boring. And, on occasion, as I'm doing warrior one, I'm thinking oh.my.gosh. when is this going to be ooooover?? But, I like it. I don't do.
2.) As a mom, I'm still cool.
Thank the Lord.
We went to Denver a couple of weeks ago to start searching for houses, and while we were there we took the girls to a Troye Sivan concert. He's a newer artist and a popular you-tuber. We wouldn't let them drive there alone so we dropped them off and we went to eat dinner nearby in Cherry Creek at Del Frisco's Grill. Cherry Creek is a really neat restaurant and shopping district in Denver. We took a cute little walk and it was great.
3.) About that trip to Denver- if I don't unpack my suitcase right after I return from a trip, it'll sit there for a month. That's not really something I learned, I just thought I'd throw that in.
4.) If you do what God asks, he will be faithful. I've always known that, but this month He refreshed my memory. I love re-learning things don't you? This was my most favorite thing to (re)learn! You know my journey, and part of it has been sharing my story for the world to see. I was fearful yet I wouldn't let that stop me because I KNEW I was following the leading of the Holy Spirit. And He has been faithul…so so very faithful!
5.) I finally found a foundation that I love! Love so much that I'm on my 3rd bottle. That's rare folks. I'm extremely picky about my foundation. In a weird sort of way. I'll tell you that it's pricey, but worth it because not only is it a beautiful finish, but the bottle lasts forever. It's SPF18 so it protects from the sun. It's very liquidy and takes a bit to get the hang of applying it but it's easy to get used to. I also love the way it smells!
Yves Saint Laurent Fushion Ink Foundation.
6.) I finally found something to help my cuticles! Which, it's a good thing because..well..my poor fingers! Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream is the best! Seriously. So healing. I wish I didn't pick at my cuticles! I'm not an overly anxious person y'all. I mean…those that know me, can you give me a shout out? I'm not, right? I'm pretty laid back. Easy-going. Right? I'm not a weirdo either! Yet why do I do these things? Is it a habit? Addiction? Maybe I have an addictive personality? Do I overly worry? I don't think so??
and if you didn't laugh at that one,
what is wrong with you try this one.
Seriously a couple years ago I sought out a therapist that maybe could help me figure out why I did this, and she just sort of looked at me like I was odd. Looking back on this I laugh. I told her that typically I get acrylic nails to keep me from picking and she just said, Yeah- keep doing that. Um, ok,<eyes swaying side to side> thanks for your help?? ANYWAY- thank you Mary Kay! I'll keep you updated!
7.) I thought it was going to be hard when my oldest graduates from high school. I learned yesterday that it's not going to be hard watching her graduate.., it's going to be really, REALLY hard. Harder than usual because we are moving and she is not. This fall she will be moving to the dorms at ORU in Tulsa and we will be moving to Colorado. I cleaned out my girls' closet yesterday as I was getting ready to have our home listed to sell. I came across all of her cheer uniforms. Lord help me. I don't wanna talk about that now though…I will later.
That's all for this beautiful 1st day of March. Enjoy your day and thank you for reading! What did you learn in February? Go back and reflect on the month if you haven't already.

About Light of a New Day by Damian Light:
Hamilton seeks a break from the ordinary hum drum world of life; such as the office ridden life he lives in the city of Erotica, a twisted name for an immoral and gradually degredated place, where corporations seek dominion over the people through the use of military and propaganda. His health and his way of rebelling is all that he has. However, when his boss catches him in a rebellious state that endangers workers' lives, he is fired. Upon being let go, he retreats to a cabin in the woods for solidarity. While away on his trip, he finds out that the world has been vacated, and has been invaded by a zombie illness and a legion of alien races bent on battling for the fate of earth. Hamilton Key escapes numerous times, an army not of this world, and he cannot tell which world they are from. He eventually escapes to a land of mermaids and then to solidarity, only to find another way of life on the other side of the planet. He tours the outer and inward space realms to seal the earth from darkness and hell, hoping to get back to his old way of life, of just going to work everyday. Light of a New Day is a thriller that will drive your mind wild with mystery, suspense and fury at the injustice of intergalactic warfare being done on your own world.

Marilynn Marchione, AP
Older patients with clogged heart arteries may have a little lower death risk over time if they get bypass operations instead of angioplasty and stents to fix the problem, new research suggests. It's not the kind of study that gives conclusive evidence, but doctors say it gives a "real world" look at how people fare in ordinary practice. As such, it could tip the balance toward surgery for patients considering the choice, especially because research already shows bypass gives a better and longer lasting result for people with multiple blockages.
Researchers compared these approaches using records on 190,000 Medicare patients with two or three blockages — the largest study ever of this issue. Death rates were similar one year after either treatment. But after four years, nearly 21 percent of the angioplasty patients had died versus about 16 percent of those who had bypass surgery. Results were discussed Tuesday at an American College of Cardiology conference in Chicago and published online by the New England Journal of Medicine.
In the United States, more than a million operations or procedures are done each year to treat clogged arteries, and the study "provides comprehensive, large-scale, national data" to help doctors and patients decide which treatment is best, Dr. Susan Shurin said in a statement. She is acting director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which sponsored the study. Comparative effectiveness studies like this one are taking on greater importance as more attention turns to the cost of healthcare.
Researchers used databases kept by the American College of Cardiology Foundation and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons on 86,244 people who had bypass surgery and 103,549 others who had angioplasty between 2004 and 2007. They used fancy statistical adjustments to try to compensate for differences in the groups that might affect the results. They found bypass to give a survival advantage even when they considered factors such as sex, race, age and conditions like diabetes. "Everything lines up" in favor of surgery," said study leader Dr. William Weintraub of Christiana Care Health System in Newark, Delaware. "We were frankly surprised by that."
Still, researchers say differences in the overall health of people who had surgery versus the less drastic procedure could account for some of the results. They say angioplasty remains a good and safe option for many people. "You're not making a mistake if you still have angioplasty, especially if you have only one or two blockages," said Dr. Kirk Garratt of Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. He is a spokesman for the Society for Cardiac Angiography and Interventions, doctors who do angioplasties.
There are tests to help decide whether one treatment will be better than another, but in general, doctors do it intuitively, based on how frail patients look, how easily they walk across the room, how firmly they shake your hand, said Dr. Harlan Krumholz, a health outcomes research specialist at Yale University. The new study "nudges you a little closer to favoring bypass, but because of the caveats, in the end, it says it is a close call," he said.
The fact bypass gives a longer-lasting result is a selling point — it means fewer repeat procedures, said Dr. Michael Crawford, chief of clinical cardiology at the University of California, San Francisco. "Some patients buy that and want to go for the long term. Others, it's a tough sell," he said. The real message is how safe both procedures are, said Dr. Vince Bufalino of Advocate Health Care, a 100-doctor cardiology group that serves 10 hospitals in the Chicago area.

He had WALDSEE just behind when second over a shorter trip here last time but today's rival had earlier scored over 2m at Lingfield and that form earns him the vote today. Paul Rich's charge beat Six Of Clubs on that occasion and the latter went on to win at the same track with Talbot Green and Cloudy Start filling the places. The last-named pair are closely matched in this and recent Kempton winner Broughtons Bandit has a bit to find with both of them on earlier running.

About Me
Enjoying my life! :D
I was born in the States, raised in a very international environment in Mexico and have been living abroad alone since mid-2004. I spent almost 5 years in California and Oregon and have been living in Germany since mid-2009.
I lived in Heidelberg, Germany, from October 2009 to October 2015. During that time I completed both my BA in History and Slavic languages (Polish and Russian) and my MA in Eastern European History. I've been living in Berlin since October 2015 and work as editor for a manufacturer of fine watches.
Please don't make any assumptions about my character or personality just because I'm from Latin America; if you think I can teach you how to dance Salsa or that I'm even remotely interested in that kind of stuff you'll unfortunately be greatly disappointed.
I'm somewhat of a man of contrasts and like to keep a balance between the loud and energetic, and the quiet and mellow. And between the conventional and the unconventional.
References talk louder than verification, so don't forget to take a peek at my references to see what people wrote about me since I'll never become verified. And don't worry about looking for hidden words or any of that kind of bullshit on my profile.
Even though my reply rate is 0%, I do reply to messages if you don't just copy and paste your request.
I also run the blog www.betweendistances.com It's a travel/ex-pat blog with a punk ethos. Check it out and follow me on Facebook! :) https://www.facebook.com/betweendistances/

NetHope Solutions Center Webinars
NetHope Solutions Center webinars can be open to the public or privately presented to NetHope members only and allow vendors the chance to share their solutions, members to share case studies/best practices, and subject matter experts to present on IT solution-related topics. We do these as online WebEx webinars and here's typically how we go about the process:
1) Pick a suitable date & time
Tuesdays, (Wednesdays) or Thursdays are preferred. We typically schedule webinars at 8AM PDT | 11AM EDT | 17:00 CET for maximum attendance across the globe. Sessions can run from 60-90 minutes (60 minutes preferred).
Joint between Vendor/Presenter & NetHope Program Director
Subscribe to the unpublished Webinar pipeline calendar >>
2) Provide a session abstract & promotional materials
*Needed at a minimum of 3 weeks before the selected date. It is useful to stress how the solution is particularly relevant to the NGO community. If a vendor/solution provider/presenter has existing customers/users involved in global development, humanitarian work or conservation, we encourage their participation and inclusion in the webinar (especially NetHope members!).
Required materials from presenters:
3) Determine target audience
A NetHope Solutions Center webinar can be open to the public or limited to a NetHope member audience only.
For public webinars, both NetHope internal member communications as well as external MailChimp (+ EventBrite) outreach will be sent to the entire NetHope Solutions Center newsletter mailing list. We will also encourage presenters to reach out to their own networks.
Should a presenter choose to hold a private member-only webinar, NetHope will facilitate all webinar invitations and the listing on the NetHope Solutions Center will be restricted (viewable only by NetHope members).
Joint between Vendor/Presenter & NetHope Program Director
4) Post product information to the NetHope Solutions Center
Product vendors presenting in a NetHope Solutions Center webinar will register a VENDOR account with the NetHope Solutions Center and post product information. NetHope members or other presenters that want to refer to specific products and services are encouraged to work with the NetHope Solutions Center editorial team to have such product information posted. Additional blog posts and case studies are also encouraged.
Register for a vendor account here.
Vendor/Presenter/ NetHope Solutions Center editorial team
5) Send invitation
A meeting invitation with the session abstract/description & WebEx details will be sent to NetHope member contacts and other NetHope Program Directors at least 2 weeks before the session. They in turn will forward the invitation to appropriate personnel based on the topic. If the webinar is public, webinar details are posted to the NetHope Solutions Center webinar listings and presenters are encouraged to forward MailChimp and Eventbrite details.
The NetHope Solutions Center editorial team will also prepare and provide a package of marketing materials (including graphics and suggested social media messages) to help presenters and others promote the session.
NetHope Program Director/NetHope Solutions Center editorial team/Presenter
6) Prepare content
PowerPoint slides, PDFs and any demonstration desirable (even video can be accommodated). We prefer to have this collateral available 2 days before the webinar for review and to upload to WebEx session. Also any images (photography, appropriate graphics, etc) that can be used on the blog, or as promotional materials.
Optional attendee polls are accommodated – please submit questions and multiple-choice answers 3 days ahead of the scheduled webinar. This will be tested in the test WebEx session.
7) Test WebEx session
A day or two before the webinar a test WebEx session will be set up to make sure we do not run into any last minute issues with audio or any of the presentation materials – All vendor(s), presenter(s) and panelists will need to be available for this trial session. A calendar invitation will be generated by the NetHope Program Director.
Joint between Vendor/Presenter & NetHope Program Director
8) During the webinar
The NetHope Program Director will welcome all attendees, go over housekeeping rules and monitor the session for questions. We will use the presenter's preference on the level of interaction: i.e. to hold questions to the end or address them as they come up.
All webinar sessions will be recorded and links distributed via the NetHope Solutions Center (for publicly available webinars) or internally to NetHope Members.
A webinar satisfaction poll is taken during the last 5 minutes of the webinar. Results are saved for post-webinar activities.
After concluding the webinar and before closing down the WebEx session, the NetHope Program Director will generate a separate chat and Q&A log from the attendee interaction.
Vendor/Presenter & NetHope Program Director
9) After the webinar
The NetHope Program Director will generate a separate document containing chat and Q&A logs from the attendee interaction and encourage the presenter(s) to answer any unanswered questions.
The resulting Q&A document, link to the WebEx recording and any materials presented will be posted to the NetHope Solutions Center (for public webinars) or internally for NetHope member access (for private webinars).
Attendee information will be shared with presenters (number of attendees, names & organization names only) along with results of the webinar satisfaction survey.
About 2 weeks after the webinar, a summary blog post will be generated about the webinar and any subsequent relevant discussions, activities or developments. Presenters will be collaborators on the blog post by approving of the content of the post, and by promoting the post to their professional networks.
*Again, any images (photography, appropriate graphics, etc) that can be used on the blog, or as promotional materials can be forwarded for use by NetHope Solutions Center staff.
NetHope Program Director/Presenter/ NetHope Solutions Center editorial team
10) Anytime
We strongly encourage vendor/presenters to consider providing content to the NetHope Solutions Center. Blog entries and/or case studies could be generated from existing collateral or authored specifically for publication. If content references how NetHope members have benefitted, the NetHope Solutions Center editorial team would be happy to help write the content.

Millennials -- more than any other generation -- are itching to hang out their own shingle, and would do so if they had right partners to support their efforts -- especially with capital, so says the study, Generational Views of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, released by America's Small Business Development Centers and the Center for Generational Kinetics.
Related: 1 in 3 people plan to become their own boss, survey says
More than half (54 percent) of millennials would quit their job and start a business in the next six months if they had the tools and resources they need, compared to 41 percent of all of the 1,011 U.S. adults surveyed for the study.
Indeed, more than a third (38 percent) of millennials have been a part of a new start-up company when it first began and 26 percent have lived entirely off the income from a business they started. Nearly two-thirds (62 percent) have a dream business in mind that they would love to start, and close to half (49 percent) intend to start their own business in the next three years.
One of the main reasons: more job security, an about-face from the sentiment of older generations. A majority (61 percent) of millennials say there is more job security in owning their own business than in working for someone else. On the other hand, 64 percent of baby boomers think there is greater job security in working for someone else than in owning their own business.
"There is an entrepreneurial hunger in America today especially amongst our youngest generations -- who have vision, ideas, and creativity," the authors write.
Related: Employees of small businesses are happier
"Where these would-be entrepreneurs often get hung up is in the more practical aspects of accessing capital and knowing how to start and run a small business. The right tools and resources will not only help sustain the businesses that have already been started, but also inspire those dreaming about a different path or biding their time until they have more clarity on what the future may hold."
More than 13 million millennials believe the biggest barrier is not knowing where to go for help with starting or running a business, but three-fourths (74 percent) of those surveyed say they would be encouraged to start a small business if they knew where to go for help. This is compared to 61 percent of all respondents surveyed.
"Small business owners and would-be entrepreneurs want and need to know they have a place to turn for advice and support," the authors write. "Whether this comes in the form of counseling on business formation and best practices for managing employees or training on accounting software matters less than the fact that such a support structure exists."
Related: Millennials approach jobs as consumers
Support also needs to come in the form of money, the authors write: "If we want to enable our very willing entrepreneurs to take the leap to business ownership we must make the needed capital available to them."

There are only four weeks left to submit sponsored applications. Your high school can sponsor up to three candidates for our university scholarships, including 32 Loran Awards valued at $100,000 each and 94 finalist/provincial awards, before October 19th.
Grade 12 students can start their application today at apply.loranscholar.ca. They may also view our application overview and a sample application form.
Here are the steps to sponsor candidates: Candidates wishing to be sponsored must select Sponsored by my school in the online application, and then enter the name and email address of the designated school contact in the Educational Background section.
Every candidate must get a reference letter, whether they end up in the sponsored or direct pool. The candidate needs to finalize their part of the online application in order to have the reference request email sent. The word limit is 250 words.
Once the reference letter has been submitted, the school contact will receive an email allowing them to log in and confirm whether or not the student is being sponsored by the school. The online sponsorship form takes about 2 minutes to complete. Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that both the reference writer and the school contact have sufficient time to complete their parts before the deadline. We are reminding all candidates of this fact. If a student's sponsorship form is not complete by October 19, that student will be entered into the direct pool.
What We Look For: As you know, our selection criteria are character, service and leadership. We are looking for young people who deeply value honesty, are curious by nature and are interested in a wide range of subjects. The scholars we select are willing to take meaningful risks and prioritize results over appearances. Each one has shown a sustained commitment to service in the community, has taken the initiative to create positive changes and is interested in working for a better world.
Direct Pool: If more than three students are interested in applying, please encourage the other students to apply to our direct pool. We understand that there are sometimes more qualified candidates than there are sponsorship spots, and offer the direct pool process for this reason. Although sponsored candidates have historically received more provincial awards and honour citations, we select Loran Scholars through both application processes.

Wonderful prayer flags!
These flags are authentic and really exceeded my expectations as with all the items I have bought from the dharmashop. I originally planned to use them indoors, lining part of the ceiling in my shrine room but since I already have some prayer flags hanging there and this item has many more flags on a long string to wrap or hang, I decided instead to take advantage of the length and hang them along the perimeter of my pergola in my garden. They look quite lovely blowing in the wind and give me inspiration to go outside in the cold winter and gaze at them for a few minutes. I look forward to warmer days where I can sit and meditate on them. Just lovely!
dharma shop never disappoints!
Always love my items I order and I know it is supporting beautiful artists - items never disappoint.
Windhorse Wish Prayer Flag
Windhorse Wish Prayer Flag
I Love These Prayer Flags
There is something very lovely about writing your own prayers and wishes on these prayer flags. It is a very centering experience to take the time to think about what is in your heart before writing those feelings down.The fabric quality is good and the fact that they aren't made in China is HUGE. I have foolishly bought prayer flags on Amazon only to discover that the flags were synthetic fabric and made in China. That is such an insult on so many levels I can't even tell you.These flags are such a thoughtful gift. I bought a bunch more to share with friends who loved the idea of thinking about their own personal prayers too.

Powermat recently became the only mass deployed public wireless charging network in the world to eclipse 150 million phone-charging minutes, accomplishing the feat in just over one year.
But what does this sky-high number actually translate to?... It means that our partner businesses who have installed Charging Spots in store are immediately reaping the rewards of Powermat's Mobile Engagement Platform. Each location is seeing an average of 660 charging minutes per day— especially beneficial since peak charging hours are between 3-6pm, traditionally a slow time for many stores.
Customers are wirelessly charging for an average session time of 20 minutes, getting their device approximately 30% more battery life. And customers aren't just using our technology, they're enjoying the experience— which is translating to sales. According to a recent survey we conducted, 95% of customers who used a Powermat Charging Spot said they felt "more welcome at the venue" and 75% said they felt "more positive about the venue's brand."
The vast majority of customers (86%) also said they're spending longer in the store, and over half (56%) reported spending more money while there. This lines up perfectly with what many of our biggest partners are saying about our technology. Starbucks, which began a nationwide roll-out of Charging Spots in 2014, said Powermat wireless charging and super-fast Wi-Fi has helped boost its sales, and positive customer testimonials continue to roll in from businesses around the globe.
Some store managers are saying they've "observed new customers coming in specifically to see and use the Charging Spots" and that "younger customers can't wait to test out the technology for themselves." And many others are saying their customers are buying more food and drink while they wait for their phone to charge up.
So customers are happy and our partner businesses couldn't be more pleased. To learn more about installing a Powermat Charging Spot at your store, please visit us here.

- Description
DetailsPriest and founder of the Marist Brothers, Saint Marcellin Champagnat (1789-1840) dedicated himself to the instruction of children and youth during the harsh aftermath of the French Revolution. He renewed the classroom setting and formed thousands of Christian teachers both from among his own religious brothers and the many who would later follow his method of education. This collection of the works of Father Champagnat offers a rare combination: mature theological instruction integrated into a practical "how-to" manual of holiness full of concrete examples. Champagnat brings the wisdom of the cloister into the classroom. To prepare holy and effective religious, he develops the essential link between authentic personal holiness and subsequent effectiveness in our work, ministries, and households—all without watering down the demands of the Gospel. Anyone working with youth today will find his advice relevant and piercing as he zealously promotes a sanctity that is contagious. Father Champagnat's teaching leaves no stone unturned, touching on everything from community life, effective leadership and obedience, mental and vocal prayer, fasting and other disciplines, how to work with young people, and most of all, how to keep a burning love for Jesus Christ and His Passion as the fount and foundation of all religious life.

Really? 51% of Teens First Hear of New Movies From the Internet?
by Alex Billington
August 29, 2007
Source: The Movie Blog
A peculiar bit of news came across my desk the other morning right as we made our way into PC Mag's Top 100 Undiscovered Websites. It was the headline: 51% of Teens First Hear of New Movies From the Internet from over at The Movie Blog. The reason this is worthwhile mentioning is because of how much the film industry and specifically marketers, advertising reps, and even movie theater general managers, seem to still misunderstand the power and the reach of the internet.
I know I hate it, but I know it's (probably) the most effective - TV. I always hear from numerous friends about a new trailer they saw on TV during commercials, and yet that's the last place I'd ever find anything. Of course I'm scouring the internet searching to always bring the best to you. According to the study done at Yahoo News, 51% of "teens" today first hear about new movies via the internet, broken down into these results.
15% discover new films from entertainment Web sites.
15% from social networking sites.
13% from video-sharing sites.
8% from movie-ticket sites.
Simply considering the fact that a majority discover movies from the internet to begin with is an important number, but looking further at that break down, it's exciting to see "entertainment Web sites" like FS.net being the largest percent. However, that doesn't mean much besides a statistic that this industry continues to ignore, leaving us in the cold fighting for interviews and press coverage. As John at The Movie Blog describes it, the movie studios are "falling behind the curve" and that couldn't be truer.
And the other thing you can't forget is that not all of us are teens anymore. As much as I'd love to have these statistics pertain to each and every one of us who are right now reading this sentence, unfortunately that's just not the case. It strikes hard when you realize you're no longer a "teen," but maybe you smile when you think you're above and beyond that demographic. Either way, this news is poignant no matter who you are and what industry you're in, because it's showing the increasing power of the internet.
As a reader you're wondering how this would affect you? What if we could bring better coverage, more footage, and more of everything you want because the movie studios decided to cooperate more. Or how about discovering potential indie gems thanks to the dedicated work of editors and webmasters like myself. The movie studios really need to start paying a lot more attention to the internet, and what better time than now and what better place than here!

2001 Shafer Merlot
- California
- Napa Valley
Community Tasting Notes 29
Millennial Drinkers wrote: (91 points)
May 13, 2016 - Definitely better than the last couple of times we have had it. Deep and dark ruby red with garnet edges and a little bit of sediment. Forest floor on the nose accompanied with dark berries. Fruit forward with an attack of cassis with some undertones of truffles and other earthy/rustic notes. Moderate tannins (7/10) with a smooth medium body. Actually a bit of dark cocoa too. Moderate plus furry finish. Shafer does not disappoint! Drink till 2019.

October 16, 2015 - Brick red in color, this wine showed faded aromas of coffee, baking chocolate and black tea on the nose. The mouth feel was soft with added hints of cola and red berry compote. The finish was medium in length with the acidity and spices holding the faded fruits in the background.
A recent gift from my Boss's wine cellar, this wine needs to be drunk immediately. Although it has lost most of its fruit, the secondary flavors make it still enjoyable. Barely.

August 23, 2015 - Very light fruit in the nose. Showing its age with brown brick color. Mid palate I almost thought it was going to turn into a dessert wine. Thankfully it did not though a strong fruity mid palate. For me past its optimal prime. Drinkable and a refined lighter merlot now

Everyone has that one film they watched as a kid (or adult) that scared the pants off them, drilled deep into their mind and took hold, and instilled a particular, permanent fear. Some of us moved past that, and some of us, well...some of us can't look at clowns or dark basements the same way ever again.
Join the Moviepilot staff writers as they reveal their favorite horror films in honor of Halloween. Permanent brain warpage is optional (but probable).
Know what's awesome? Puppies. Cake. Waking up early on a Saturday and realizing you can sleep in. Know what's not awesome? Dolls. Well, dolls, clowns, the Slender Man, cockroaches, and the eyeball-slicing scene from Un Chien Andalou. But mostly dolls.
I blame this on Child's Play. When I was in the third grade, I had a sleepover at a classmate's house for her birthday, and somehow, we were left unsupervised and found Child's Play on TV. One look at the pint-sized serial killer and I was done, my fragile little mind warped by the fact that it wasn't the big, shambling, Jason Voorhees-style slashers I needed to worry about, but a tiny little freak who could fit under my bed. I spent the next month having nightmares and laying awake at night in a fevered agony, wondering whether it was better to turn my back to the dark room behind me and face the crack between my bed and my wall, or face the room and leave my back exposed to that gap where a small, knife-wielding monster could hide. Obviously, I was permanently scarred.
Plus, Child's Play is the only horror franchise that has shown true continuity, with each sequel, no matter how many years in between, building upon the story of the last. The fact that has provided the voice of Chucky for 25 years now is also remarkable, and a testament to the steadiness of the franchise.
No matter how much it has damaged me.
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
We all have to thank for The Walking Dead. After all, he crafted the concept of what a rotting flesh eater was capable of in his 1968 horror masterpiece, Night of the Living Dead. Unfortunately, the genre was plagued by predictability over the course of 40 some years since. That's why director Dan O'Bannon's 1985 The Return of the Living Dead is my undead du jour. The characters, the zombies, and the perfect blend of scares, comedy, and violence are still fresh. The film actually uses Romero's work as a jumping off point. What if he made the film based on a real incident, but he just changed the facts a bit? Instead of lumbering idiots, the zombies of RoLD are fast, smart (they even make jokes), and they can't die. Ever. As a hodgepodge of likable punk teens battle gnarly dead people, the movie still manages to find time for naked tombstone dancing. Comedic aspects aside, this is a great horror movie through and through.
It takes guts to put Satan in a 12-year-old girl's body. It takes even more guts to actually watch such a seriously cringe-worthy and harrowing depiction of human suffering in one sitting, and that's why I consider The Exorcist (1973) the best horror film of 'em all. Sure, it relies on some visual gimmicks that might not have the same impact in 2013 as they did back then, but nonetheless it can still shock newer generations with its visceral profanity and sheer, horrific power to simultaneously enthrall and appall. At times nauseating, at others obscenely fascinating, this supernatural film never plummets into the ridiculousness it could easily have; with the vomiting and bed-banging contributing to the hair-raising bizarreness of it all, never detracting from its blood-curdling quality. In essence, The Exorcist is a horror classic which will actually scare the Hell outta you, but doesn't stop at that; after the daunting and unnerving watching experience comes the post-viewing questioning and reflecting. Believe me, the latter can become even more spine-chilling than you think.
The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Let me start with an admission. I don't like horror movies. This isn't because they scare me, in fact, it's quite the opposite. Horror movies rarely scare me — and if they don't scare you, all you're left with is an empty husk of a movie with bad dialogue and over-the-top special effects.
But there is one exception to this: The Blair Witch Project.
Generally speaking found footage horrors do freak me out more. With normal horrors I find it hard to dissociate myself from the fact it's a movie. But Blair Witch is different. It pioneered the found footage horror, even going so far to actually terrorize the actors playing the role, denying them food, sleep and generally creeping them out all night. It proved that often the scariest thing of all is what you DON'T see. The result is a horror which is tangible, realistic and chilling to the bone.
Eszter Simor
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Since a coworker dressed as a zombie has literally just walked in to the office, it reminds me that Halloween is unimaginable without these creatures. And zombies for me definitely mean Romero. Night of the Living Dead was THE movie that started the zombie-fever back in 1968 and since then it has become a cult classic. Everyone knows these stumbling, undead monsters, who move around in groups and gorge on human flesh, through Romero films. No wonder that it shocked the contemporary audience back then – Roger Ebert, for example, gave a detailed description about how children left the cinema crying when the movie was not yet rated – its brutally natural visuals bite into your flesh even 40 years later.
A handful of people are trapped in a country-house fenced in by the undead. However, the heroes not only have to face an outside threat; madness is slowly spreading inside the house too. Family members are not safe from each other either and the savior just won't arrive. Is it possible to get out alive of this craziness? What makes the movie great is that Romero is a genius at creating a truly claustrophobic atmosphere and the depicted cannibal scenes are horrifying. And the monsters wear human faces. As we are watching their decaying bodies in terror, our own hidden fears come alive? Romero makes us face our own mortality. We are the zombies ourselves, the all-destroying and devouring human society.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)
If the title doesn't win you over then there may be no hope, but Killer Klowns is the ultimate movie to watch with your friends at Halloween. Get some beers in and revel in the most colorful, daft and enjoyable movie you could watch while drunk. Violently acidic custard pies, killer puppets and randy clowns abound in this verifiable Citizen Kane of 80's trash horrors. God help us all, they're currently working on a sequel.
My favorite horror is the mesmerizing The Orphanage, directed by in 2007.
Presented by , it takes its setting in an abandoned orphanage; which embodies del Toro's fantastical gothic atmosphere. The corridors are terrorized by the child spectre Tomás who- due to severe deformity- is forced to wear a sack over his head. It is an image that will be emblazoned onto your retinas for months.
For me, The Orphanage is the perfect balance of stunning cinematography and a tale masterfully told. The film's pacing is so well managed that the plot can seamlessly slip into a psychological decline to arresting effect. One can not help but be drawn into the Mother's despair of losing her child and the torment of the events that unfold thereafter. This is a film which demands multiple viewings to distinguish between that which is reality and that which is delirium. At least I can now watch it, knowing that there is some suggestion of hope in the final scene.
The best horror movie of all time is clearly The Exorcist, which is a genre masterpiece and 's most accomplished work. But as this was the movie of choice for my esteemed colleague Dave, I decided to go with a film so demonically disturbing, so freakishly frightening that after watching it as a 13-year-old I slept with the light on for three whole nights.
That movie was Event Horizon.
Set on board a demonically-possessed spaceship recently returned from the gates of Hell, Event Horizon took me on a journey into the abyss and what I found there was 's mutilated face starring back. It's not the greatest film ever made, and I've only ever seen it that one time, but if you're a 13-year-old kid with a fear of burning in damnation for all eternity aboard a spaceship, it's perfect.
If you haven't seen 1969's La Piscine, I would recommend that you watch it. Now. It is a piece of timelessly cool French cinema from , which means that not only can you boast to your pals about how chic and cultured you are, but you also get to enjoy watching gorgeous bourgeois people in a glamorous St Tropez setting, some incredibly evocative and beautiful camera work, and observe nervously as the suspense sets in and the insanely dark undertones of murder and distrust unravel. and play Jean-Paul and Marianne, a seemingly perfect couple who spend their days hedonistically around the titular swimming pool. But, when Marianne's ex Harry () shows up for a visit, Jean-Paul makes no secret of how he feels about Harry's hot teenage daughter () who has also joined. Imagine Lolita, with a sh*t-ton more jealousy. And death. Definitely death.
I re-watched The Thing recently and found that it – at least partly - really didn't make much sense. What the monster can and cannot do in human shape? No f**cking idea! But the delights the movie, soaked in 1980s aesthetics, offers are too plentiful for me to give a hoot in hell. That ominous score which sounds suspiciously similar to synthesizer antics, the doom-impending atmosphere, the collapsing thorax (wonderfully gross!), and that ending, oh my, that ending, will never lose their charm. Last but certainly not least there is and his mighty, mighty beard, having none of it. God, I love The Thing.

Guest Curator: Mary Anna Pomonis
February 9-April 26, 2013
Vincent Price Art Museum
Small Gallery
East Los Angeles College
1301 Avenida Cesar Chavez
Monterey Park, CA 91754
The questions below were given to Mary Anna Pomonis by me in response to her exhibition at Vincent Price Art Museum from February 9-April 26, 2013.
1. I read that the idea for this exhibition has been in your mind's eye for about 10 years. How did the show remain true to your original vision and how did it change?
In 2009 I was hanging out with Allison Stewart and Carole Caroompas. Allison, Carole and I had just come back from a show I curated in New York at Space B Gallery in Chelsea entitled, "The Gun Show". We began joking that after making a show about the taboo topic of gun culture it would be cool to do a show about "God". The idea really stuck in my head because I am from the Midwest and a very conservative Greek Orthodox family. On the one hand I rejected those ideas when I decided to become an artist and move away from home. However, like anything else you reject it becomes deeply imbedded in your memory and somehow elements of that rejection become part of your practice.
2.How do your personal politics work with the artists you chose for the show?
I tried very hard to balance the selection of sculptors, photographers, painters and environmental practioners. I also was very conscious of selecting a balance of men and women as well as people of color and people who identify as straight or gay. I found that because so much of sacred ritual is based on diversified ethnicity and social experience, balancing the artists led to a richer array of objects. For example Todd Gray's "Shaman" photographs are shot in Africa where he has a studio. Todd's work is performative, he stands with shaving cream completely covering his body in the middle of the jungle. His photographs simultaneously convey the frightening hood of a Klansman and an African shaman in the midst of a trance. Those kinds of associations are specific to him because of his racial identity and his work resonates with meaning as a result.
I took myself out of the show although my work is deeply connected to the exhibition statement since I am fascinated personally by the connection between modernist notions of aura and contemporary artistic practice. I felt that taking myself out of the show would make the audience experience more about the topic and less about the ego of the curator. I know that it's a protocol that is not always held up however, it just seemed like the right thing to do.
When I am selecting an artist for a show I have to feel a strong sense that in addition to the conceptual linkage with the project, the artist will be a pleasure to work with. I include Allison Stewart in my shows a lot because her work has incredible depth of meaning and I know from experience that Allison brings a level of professionalism and generosity to the projects she is involved with. Allison wrote the most incredible artist statement for the show outlining her project, "American Anthem" connecting her images of young soliders to the Mannerist images of Christ and the Madonna. Stewart points out that images of the tragic hero have become our sacred secular icons, that idea really resonated with me and I had to include her work. There are so many great artists in the show, I could go on and on, I'll just quote the didactic:
