The "Shit Buck" or act of Shit Bucking is the practice of smearing human or animal feces onto one side of a dollar bill and placing it, feces side down, in an open, public area. Upon placement, those responsible should move to a safe and close location with a good vantage point to view the fruits of their labor. The goal is to trick individuals into picking up and even pocketing this "shit buck." It is an added plus if said location is within earshot and if the event can be videotaped.
"Holy fuck, dude, that bum totally just wiped the shit off of that shit buck before stuffing it into his pocket!"

Printed bras are greatly underrated. There's something about knowing you have a bra with a fun design underneath your clothes. Like, when I wore this new Playtex Secrets® Cotton Shaping Underwire bra ($34) in the Mini Grape Zebra print. I felt a little sassy! It's a great way to add a burst of color to your day and melt away your winter blues. And not only was it cute, but it was comfy and it fit. You know I'm a big fan of that! We all know that finding a bra that fits us the right way is a challenge.
Just take a look at the lightly padded cups that offer shaping and support, there's a hint of lace for added playfulness and I'm loving the convertible straps.The bra is available in following sizes: In Basic Colors: 36 – 42 B; 36-44 C, D, DD and in Fashion Colors: 36 – 44 C, D, DD. I'm actually wearing the bra right now! Is that a little too much information? LOL!

SUNSEEKER'S largest super yacht was presented to its new owner, Formula 1's Eddie Jordan, on Poole Quay this afternoon.
Reportedly worth £32million, the majestic 155 Yacht, created by over 200 members of staff from Sunseeker, was officially unveiled to those who had worked on it from the beginning in 2010.
Eddie Jordan, who took ownership of the yacht on behalf of the Jordan Family Trust, said that it was the culmination of a dream he has had since as far back as 2007.
Take a tour of the yacht by looking through our picture gallery here
He also said that he looks forward to it coming over to his home in Monaco, predicted to happen in April, so that he has the yacht, named Blush, in time for the Monaco Grand Prix in May.
Mr Jordan said: "I am extremely pleased to be here today. I think when you have a dream, you think about something, and this dream is probably seven or eight years old in my head.
"I am a big fan of Sunseeker. I cannot tell how much of a fan I am. They are just a fabulous brand, fabulous family and a great workforce."
Eddie's new 155 Yacht can cater for up to 12 guests, with space for up to 10 crew, plus a separate captain's cabin, as well as a bespoke social deck area, which can be turned into a nightclub.
It will be a charted yacht which can be rented out to members of the public, with the first booking already made for three months, at a cost of £1million per month.
Asked how he dreamt up the idea for the 155 Yacht, he said: "I'm kind of a dreamy person. I dreamt about building racing cars and then formula one cars and that happened, and then I dreamt about this boat and the others, like the Snappers, and a couple of others, and boats before that, and here it is.
"It has taken Sunseeker, as a brand and British shipbuilding in general, and everything in Poole, to a new level, and it gives them a great opportunity now to roll this out and sell it all over the world."
The 155 yacht
The 155 Yacht is the 'biggest project ever undertaken' by Sunseeker, which was thought up, put together and tested in Poole.
Weighing a total of 200tonnes, it has a maximum speed of 22 knots or 25mph, and costs £30,000 a time to fill up, which allow it to travel up to 4,000 nautical miles before it needs re-fuelling.
Robert Braithwaite, Group President at Sunseeker International, said: "It's been quite a long journey from 2010,, but of course it is amazing for Poole and the area, to achieve such an iconic product.
"This is good for Sunseeker because we have moved ourselves up the ladder ten-fold for what we have achieved and what we have learnt from this. I think the amazing thing is, that this is a British success and it will be a world-beater.
"It is the best we have achieved so far, but we will get better."
- EDDIE Jordan also give his views on the year ahead in the Formula 1 racing calendar, naming driver, Nico Rosberg, as his predicted star for 2014, after he won the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 16.
He said: "Nico Rosberg won the first race and my guess is that he could be the champion.
"Yes, he has got Lewis Hamilton and Lewis is going to be really, really quick, and will win races, but I think this year could be the year of Nico. He has a very big chance."
Mr Jordan also said: "I wasn't surprised to see that Mercedes won the first event and I also wasn't surprised to hear the uproar on the noise. I think they will do something on that, because it's needed.
"I think the noise is a fundamental part of Formula One and it is almost part of the sex appeal of it, as a key ingredient."
When asked to name his favourite racing circuit, Eddie says that he is a diehard fan of Silverstone Circuit, but also likes the Monaco track, as it is close to his home.

The Pope is to resign his office after declaring he was too old to carry on as head of the Catholic Church.
Pope Benedict XVI will quit on February 28, the Vatican said today, adding the announcement was a surprise.
A Vatican statement said the pope was unable to continue in office due to his age and diminishing strength, he is 85, and the papacy will remain vacant until a successor is elected.
He is the first pontiff to resign in nearly 600 years. The decision sets the stage for a conclave to elect a new pope before the end of March.
The pope announced his decision in Latin during a meeting of Vatican cardinals this morning.
"After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths due to an advanced age are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry," he told the cardinals.
"I am well aware that this ministry, due to its essential spiritual nature, must be carried out not only by words and deeds but no less with prayer and suffering.
"However, in today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of St. Peter and proclaim the Gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary - strengths which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognise my incapacity to adequately the ministry entrusted to me."
The last pope to resign was Pope Gregory XII, who stepped down in 1415 in a deal to end the Great Western Schism among competing papal claimants.
The pope called his choice "a decision of great importance for the life of the church."
There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious front-runner as was the case when Pope Benedict was elected pontiff in 2005 after the death of Pope John Paul II.
Giving his reaction the resignation, Bishop of Lancaster Michael Campbell said: "The news of Pope Benedict XVI's impending resignation at the end of February will have come as a shock and a cause of sadness to many Catholics and to numerous others, believers and non-believers alike.
"The burden of the Petrine office is a heavy one and the Church can be immensely grateful for the willingness of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in
assuming such a responsibility at his age in 2005.
"We can but admire his courage in deciding that he no longer possesses the physical and mental strength to continue as the successor of Peter.
"Since his election the Holy Father has carried out his papal duties with devotion and dignity, and employed his many gifts, not least those of a fine intellect, as supreme pastor of the Church.
"Catholics in England and Scotland recall with pleasure and pride, as well as
gratitude, his recent visit to these islands and the powerful impact for good his presence had on so many of our fellow-citizens.
"Being Pope, with concern for all the churches as St. Paul expressed it, has never been easy.
"History will record the years of Pope Benedict's papacy as particularly difficult and trying ones for the Church.
"Equally, his prayerfulness and quiet dignity brought a sense of God's
calm and reassurance to believers in often troubled times.
"We thank God for the blessing that Pope Benedict has been to the Church and to the world, and we will accompany him in prayer as he moves into retirement and the promise of quieter days.
"On this Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes we commend the Holy Father to the
loving care and maternal protection of Our Blessed Lady, the Mother of our saviour."

For many people, this is a season of celebrations. However, the holidays are often a difficult time for those of us who are bereaved and coping with loss. Many bereaved and injured people face this season with apprehension often in fear of their emotional reactions to what are supposed to be happy, memorable events.
A common question asked by those mourning a loved one or struggling to make sense of other losses is, "How can I get through the holidays?" There is no single answer of what we should or should not do, but it is important that we consider what activities are comfortable for us to participate in during the holidays.
Here are some suggestions for people experiencing bereavement and/or injury for coping during the holidays:
- Plan ahead for the approaching holidays. Accept that this might be a difficult time for you. The additional stress this season brings may impact you emotionally, physically and spiritually. These are normal reactions. Be prepared for rushes of emotions that may occur.
- Recognize that the holidays might not be the same as they were in the past. Expecting everything to seem the same might lead to disappointment. Modify or make new traditions if it feels right. Just remember to include others who are grieving, especially children, in decisions.
- Don't overwhelm or over commit yourself. Give yourself a reprieve. Take time for yourself and take care of yourself. Take it slow and easy, one step at a time.
- Be careful not to isolate yourself. It is all right to take time for yourself, but try not to cut yourself off from the support of family and friends.
- The holidays may affect other family members. Talk to others as you make plans and share your feelings. Respect other's choices and needs, and compromise if necessary.
- Expect to experience some feelings of emotional pain. When the feelings come, let them.
- Accept a few invitations to be with close family or friends. Choose the ones that sound most appealing at the time and decline the ones that feel more like an obligation.
- Talk about your feelings. Let people know if you are having a tough day.
- Share your favorite stories with others and make a toast or light a candle in honor and remembrance.
When everyone else appears so happy and cheerful, it is easy to feel alone. You may feel out of sorts with the holiday season. Recognizing that the holidays can be painful often helps ease that sense of isolation. If you need any additional assistance, please call 1-877-MADD-HELP (877-623-3435). MADD is just one call away.

Hardy souls braved the cold and the wet at two traditional New Year's endurance challenges last week.
In Otley, swimmers jumped into the chilly waters of the River Wharfe for the annual wintry stunt, with many participants donning accessories like neck-ties or silly hats as well as their swimsuits.
The participants dived into the waters, which had a temperature of 5C at about noon, before swimming along one side of the riverbank.
One of the youngest taking part was 16-year-old Rebecca Cook, of Leeds, who wore a bikini and Santa hat.
She said it was the fourth time she had taken part in the challenge and had been 12 when she first attempted it.
She said: "It's completely shocking. You have no idea what's happening."
Another 16-year-old, Sam Altum, of Houston, Texas, decided to take part while visiting family in Otley. He said the dip was "awesome".
He said: "It was freezing cold. I just went numb."
The oldest participant was believed to be Carole Deighton, 71, of Morley, a veteran of the event, who was taking part for the 18th year.
She said she thought the water had been slightly milder than previous years.
She said: "It was very refreshing – a new start for the new year. It was warmer than previous years, definitely."
One of the organisers, Helen Town, said the charity event had proved especially popular this year.
Meanwhile dozens of people braved the White Wells plunge bath at Ilkley.
Among those throwing themselves into the cold waters were father and son Jeremy and Jack Harrison, of Menston, and friend Nick Driver, of Ilkley.
Mr Harrison said: "I've done this about ten times now. We have it as a family tradition."
After taking the plunge, Mr Driver said: "It was invigorating but it is horrible when you are in there."
Another participant, Anna Danby, of Halifax, said she used to brave the plunge pool when she was a child.
She said the worst bit was "when you put your head under".
Fellow participant Kate Benny said: "It's good to get in there straight away."
She said when the cold hit, she could not breathe.
Proprietor Mark Hunnebell said he took a dip every day.
He said: "So far, I have been in 3,877 times.
"I can't expect anyone else to go in and not go in myself. I go in every day and feel really good for it."

Charlotte area
Charlotte is the hub of the Carolina Thread Trail, an ambitious project intended to link via trail the 2.3 million residents of a 15-county region.
A look at the Carolina Thread Trail map shows greenways popping up from Kings Mountain to Kannapolis, from Concord to Chester, S.C. Charlotte leads the way, with 33 miles of developed greenway, with plans to build another 147 miles throughout the city and Mecklenburg County.
Currently, the longest stretch of greenway in the system is the Mallard Creek/Clark's Creek/Toby Creek network, which runs through the UNC Charlotte campus and heads north and west.

THIS is the first newspaper column of my 15-year career in professional football and it comes after one of the strangest afternoons of my career.
I have never been involved in an abandoned game before and I didn't think that Saturday's home match against Morecambe would be the first.
The pitch at the Store First Stadium was definitely still playable when the game was stopped at 0-0 after an hour, with Morecambe down to 10 men.
This is my first season in League Two after spending most of my career in the Premier League and the Championship, and I have noticed that the standard of refereeing is not as good in this division.
We had worked hard to gain an advantage and we frustrated Morecambe into getting a man sent off. We fancied our chances of winning but I think the referee came under pressure from Morecambe to abandon the game, because it suited them.
I've never known a period with so many games getting called off, after our home match against Bury and our trip to Portsmouth were also postponed recently.
But we did get a win at Bristol Rovers last Tuesday.
It was a fantastic finish to the game, with Peter Murphy scoring in the 93rd minute, and it shows the value of keeping going until the final whistle. That was something I saw in my younger days at Manchester United, when we used to score so many late goals.
It was nice to be involved in setting up the goal after coming off the bench.
We travel to Wycombe on Saturday and of course I'd like to start the game if I can.
People might think I'm not suited to the League Two rough and tumble at this time of year but I don't see it that way.
You don't play for 15 years without being able to handle things like that.
I have enjoyed my time at Stanley since I arrived in the summer.
It's a learning curve for me in League Two but there are a lot of young lads here who I try to help with my experience in the game.
At 32 years old, I'm in that phase of my career where I want to do what I can to help.
When I arrived here, like everyone I was aware of the club's famous name, and for my generation the club is probably most famous for the milk advert.
But everyone is so welcoming too. There are a great bunch of lads here and everyone from the coaching staff to the office staff are really good people.
There are unsung heroes like Buzzer the groundsman, Mark Turner, Vikki Gilmartin and Naz the kit man who does so many different jobs.
The club may not be affluent in terms of finances, but it is affluent in terms of people who are willing to put so much effort in. You do need that at a club like this.
With a bit of investment in the future there is the potential to move to that next level, to League One, provided whoever invests buys into that spirit.
You see clubs like Chesterfield who have done well with investment. There's no reason at all why we can't do that too.

Amy Coffin of the We Tree blog has another successful series on her hands. After last year's popular Jump Start Your Genealogy Blog: 52 Ideas. 52 Weeks, she's come up with a new series of weekly prompts called 52 Weeks To Better Genealogy.
The goal: to get all genealogists and family historians – both new to the field as well as the "lifers" – to stretch their brains and examine certain aspects of what some of us pursue as a past time, some as a profession and all as a passion.
* * *
GeneaBloggers will announce the challenge for the week in the weekly Upcoming Genealogy Blogging Events post every Friday. At the same time, an event will be created over at the GeneaBloggers Group on Facebook (the first week's challenge is here). The challenge period will be Saturday through to the following Friday.
And in addition, during the week GeneaBloggers will create a "progress post" with a roll-up widget listing those who are participating.
* * *
Those who want to participate simply need to follow the cues and post about the exercise at their genealogy blog. As Amy says, these should be fun exercises! Don't feel that you have to participate each week, nor should you beat yourself up if you miss one or more challenges. We all have so much that we want to accomplish – let alone what we want to accomplish with our genealogy blogs. This series should be one which, by the end of 2010, helps you to be a better genealogist.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Your ears can thank the FCC.
New rules, which limit the volume of TV commercials, go into effect today. Called the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation (CALM) Act, the new rules require TV stations, cable operators, satellite TV operators and other pay TV providers to limit a commercial's average volume to that of the programming that it accompanies.
The limits are meant to protect viewers from excessively loud commercials. Blaring commercials have become commonplace and have prompted many complaints to the FCC.
The Federal Communications Commission adopted the CALM restrictions a year ago, but gave the industry a one-year grace period to adopt them.
The Commission says it will rely on consumer complaints to monitor industry compliance with the new rules. You can file a complaint with the FCC and report commercials that seem louder than the programming that they accompany.

Harassment is a form of antisocial behavior that means engaging in unwanted conduct towards another persone that either affects their dignity or creates an unpleasant environment for them, making it hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive. This unwanted conduct would normally be a series of acts although a single serious act may be sufficient to persuade a court of law. The victim's perception is not in itself the decisive factor but it would be taken into account.
The word is based in English since circa 1618 as loan word from the French harassement, which was in turn already attested in 1572 meaning torment, annoyance, bother, trouble [1] and later as of 1609 was also referred to the condition of being exhausted, overtired[2][3]. Of the French verb harasser itself we have first records in a Latin to French translation of 1527 of Thucydides' History of the war that was between the Peloponnesians and the Athenians both in the countries of the Greeks and the Romans and the neighbouring places where the translator writes harasser allegedly meaning harceler (to exhaust the enemy by repeated raids); and in the military chant Chanson du franc archer[4] of 1562, where the term is referred to a gaunt jument (de poil fauveau, tant maigre et harassée: of fawn horsehair, so meagre and …) where it is supposed that the verb is used meaning overtired.[5]
A hypothesis about the origin of the verb harasser is harace/harache, which was used in the 14th century in expressions like courre a la harache (to pursue) and prendre aucun par la harache (to take somebody under constraint). The Französisches Etymologisches Wörterbuch, a German etymological dictionary of the French language (1922-2002) compares phonetically and syntactically both harace and harache to the interjection hare and haro by alleging a pejorative and augmentative form. The latter was an exclamation indicating distress and emergency (recorded since 1180) but is also reported later in 1529 in the expression crier haro sur (to arise indignation over somebody). hare 's use is already reported in 1204 as an order to finish public activities as fairs or markets and later (1377) still as command but referred to dogs. This dictionary suggests a relation of haro/hare with the old lower franconian *hara (here) (as by bringing a dog to heel). [6]
While the pejorative of an exclamation and in particular of such an exclamation is theoretically possible for the first word (harace) and maybe phonetically plausible for harache, a semantic, syntactic and phonetic similarity of the verb harasser as used in the first popular attestation (the chant mentioned above) with the word haras should be kept in mind: Already in 1160 haras indicated a group of horses constrained together for the purpose of reproduction and in 1280 it also indicated the enclosure facility itself, where those horses are constrained[7]. The origin itself of haras is thought to be the old Scandinavian hârr with the Romanic suffix –as, which meant grey or dimmish horsehair. Controversial is the etymological relation to the Arabic word for horse whose roman transliteration is faras.
Although the French origin of the word harassment is beyond all question, in the Oxford English Dictionary and those dictionaries basing on it a supposed Old French verb harer should be the origin of the French verb harasser, despite the fact that this verb cannot be found in French etymologic dictionaries like that of the fr:Centre national de ressources textuelles et lexicales or the fr:Trésor de la langue française informatisé (see also their corresponding websites as indicated in the interlinks); since the entry further alleges a derivation from hare, like in the mentioned German etymological dictionary of the French language a possible misprint of harer = har/ass/er = harasser is plausible or cannot be excluded. In those dictionaries the relationship with harassment were an interpretation of the interjection hare as to urge/set a dog on, despite the fact that it should indicate a shout to come and not to go (hare = hara = here; cf. above)[8]. The American Heritage Dictionary prudently indicates this origin only as possible.
United StatesEdit
In 1964, the United States Congress passed Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, , prohibiting discrimination at work on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin and sex. This later became the legal basis for early harassment law. The practice of developing workplace guidelines prohibiting harassment was pioneered in 1969, when the U.S. Department of Defense drafted a Human Goals Charter, establishing a policy of equal respect for both sexes. In Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57 (1986)
- the U.S. Supreme Court recognized harassment suits against employers for promoting a sexually hostile work environment. In 2006, U.S.A. President George W. Bush signed a law which prohibited the transmission of annoying messages over the Internet (aka spamming) without disclosing the sender's true identity.[9]
New JerseyEdit
The New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) was initially enacted in 1945. The LAD prohibits harassment based on protected characteristics such as race, sex or nationality. Under the LAD, sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual relations or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. There are generally two types of sexual harassment. Quid pro quo harassment occurs when an employer, or an employer's agent, implicitly or explicitly attempts to make submission to sexual demands a condition of employment. Thus, an employee may perceive that he or she must tolerate sexual advances or engage in a sexual relationship in order to continue employment, to achieve advancement, or to avoid adverse employment consequences such as poor evaluations or demotions. Similarly, it is unlawful for an employer or an employer's agent to condition favorable treatment such as promotions, salary increases, or preferred assignments, on an employee's acceptance of sexual advances or relations. Castronovo & McKinney, LLC can provide additional assistance regarding representation of individuals who were discriminated against by an employer.
In 1984, the Canadian Human Rights Act prohibited sexual harassment in workplaces under federal jurisdiction.
United KingdomEdit
In the UK there are a number of laws protecting people from harassment including the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. For a fuller description of the laws on harassment in the UK see this page.
Ambiguity Edit
Both because the term is used in common English, and because where the term is defined by law, the law varies by jurisdiction, it is difficult to provide any exact definition that is accepted everywhere.
In some cultures, for instance, simply stating a political opinion can be seen as unwarranted and a deliberate attempt to intimidate — in a totalitarian society any such statement could be interpreted as an attempt to involve someone in rebel activity or implicate them in same, with the implication that if they refuse, they are putting their own life in danger. More usually, some label such as "anti-social" or related to treason is used to label such behaviour — it being treated as an offense against the state not the person. This resembles the use of psychiatry to imprison dissidents which is common in many countries.
Another example is that under some versions of Islamic Law merely insulting Islam is considered to be a harassment of all believers, and in Japan insulting any faith is usually considered taboo and has legal sanctions[How to reference and link to summary or text]. Because of these variations, there is no way even within one society to provide a truly neutral definition of harassment.
Categories Edit
However, broad categories of harassment often recognized in law include:
- Legal harassment - Legal actions against an individual or a group, for example SLAPP suits.
- Sexual harassment (with a much stricter definition in the workplace)
- Psychological harassment - repetitive unprovoked intrusions or interruptions
- Group psychological harassment
- Hate speech - comments proveably false or irrelevant which express or encourage hate towards a particular group - another legal
Types of harassmentsEdit
Harassment refers to a wide spectrum of offensive behaviour.
- Cyber bullying
- Harassment by computer
- Workplace harassment
- Sexual harassment refers to persistent and unwanted sexual advances, typically in the workplace, where the consequences of refusing are potentially very disadvantageous to the victim.
- Victimization
Colloquial speech Edit
In some contexts of colloquial speech, the word "harassment" and its derivatives can mean in a playful manner "bothering". In computer gaming contexts, "harassment" might constitute provocative or annoying actions in the game. Harassment in strategy games may also mean early attacks aimed to stunt an opponent's growth of either economy or technology. In these contexts, the severity of the terminology is much less intense, and does not carry the same connotations as the legal definitions.

Jason Clarke Gossip
Jason Clarke gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Jake G in Everest
Wenn, FameFlynet
Actually, I should say that it's Jason Clarke in Everest because Jake Gyllenhaal has a relatively small role and disappears from the film for long stretches, but he's being treated in the publicity materials like he's the star, and I don't know how many of you are really here for Jason Clarke, while I know there are a bunch of us scanning for Jake G. Full Story
Blake Lively to remake At First Sight
At First Sight, the romantic drama starring Val Kilmer and Mira Sorvino, is one of the most hilariously terrible movies I've ever seen. In that movie, Kilmer's character is blind and he falls in love with Sorvino, but when he regains his sight their relationship falls apart because he needs to re-learn everything as a sighted person and Sorvino's character is an asshole. Full Story
Jessica Chastain: No Tom but Jason?
Wenn, Ian Gavan/ Getty
Predictably... As reported earlier -- click here for a refresher, the Daily Mail ran a story about Jessica Chastain dating Tom Hiddleston. Gossip Cop cites a source close to Chastain who denies the claim. Full Story

Did you know?
According to the Spa Association of South Africa, over 30% of clients are now men.
With an increase in men more concerned than in the past about their grooming, spas are no longer the sole preserve of women. It is estimated that men now account for more than a third of all customers at health and wellness facilities.
Men are increasingly conscious of the value of spa treatments to the health and appearance of their skin, and in helping to reduce their stress levels. A sportsman is aware of the benefit of a massage on overworked muscles, while a business executive knows how a neck-and-shoulder massage can release the stress of too many hours hunched over a computer.
More and more spas around the country are going 'neutral' to appeal as much to men as women. They stock men's products and offer male-specific treatment packages. They provide separate changing facilities, bigger bathrobes and appropriate reading materials.
Some spas are taking it a step further and going male-only, taking into account that male customers often prefer male therapists and firmer massage techniques. The Male Spa in Pretoria, for example, offers a full range of treatments and grooming, carried out by qualified professionals. They also have a mobile service, and therapists will travel to addresses throughout Gauteng, saving their clients traffic time.
In the grounds of the Sandton Boutique Hotel in exclusive Sandhurst, you'll find Sprout Wellness Spa, with an all-male staff, supervised by an Austrian-trained professional and contributor to a well-known men's magazine. In the Cape Town suburb of Greenpoint, Glasshouse Rejuvenation for Men is a one-stop grooming emporium in a masculine environment, where clients can enjoy a cold beer or single malt while having a pedicure. Treatments include facials, massages, waxing, tinting and hair grooming.
The male-spa has also become popular for bachelor or stag parties. While going to a bar was the norm in the past, some men, it seems, are now opting for spa experiences instead. At least, that way, there's no risk of the groom not making it to the church on time.

WEPL Bristol & Somerset Division
Old Bristolians Westbury 143-8, Wembdon 123-9
A SUPERB bowling effort from Mike Parker proved to be in vain as Wembdon were beaten by 20 runs by Old Bristolians Westbury on Saturday.
Parker took 6-30 from seven overs to help restrict OBW to 143-8 from their 35 overs in a rain reduced game - but Wembdon's reply never really got going and they fell comfortable short of their target.
Wembdon bowled first and were economical early on but without a breakthrough.
38 came off the first 10 overs and the classy 16 year old Australian Tom Leaver looked in very good touch.
But a change of pace got the breakthrough and sparked a collapse - first Alistair Cook trapped opener Swetman LBW for 27 before a stunning catch in the deep by Brockwell accounted for Leaver for 36.
Mike Parker, on his return to Wembdon side, came into the attack and blew away the OBW middle order to return impressive figures.
Amazingly OBW number 4,5,6,7 and 8 were all dismissed without scoring, but a couple of late blows by Ryan Hanna helped OBW post 143 for 8 from 35 overs.
Wembdon's reply got off to the worst possible start, with Gower (4), Puddy (0) and Bingham (0) all falling for single figures.
John Brockwell and Brendan Pope set about rebuilding the innings and added 71 for the fifth wicket to bring Wembdon up with the rate.
For the second week running spin would prove too tricky to score quickly against.
The pitch didn't help with OBW wicket keeper getting struck in the head more than once off slower bowlers, proving the lively bounce was impossible to judge.
Brockwell (39) was bowled leaving Wembdon on 97 for 5 - needing 47 off the last five overs.
The Wembdon wickets tumbled as they tried to chase the total and eventually the final nail in the coffin was hammered when Brendan Pope (55) was stumped.
The innings finished on 123 and another great opportunity to win slipped through the net.
Wembdon host Knowle next Saturday, 1pm start.
Match Sponsor: Elsie Matthews ## ON Sunday Wembdon cruised into the third round of the Davidstow National Village Cup with a 69-run victory over Middlezoy.
Richard Gower blasted 117 and was well supported by T Lott (35) and B Pope (45*) helping Wembdon post a commanding 251 for 4 from 40 overs.
Middlezoy's reply never really got started and some tight bowling early on saw them fall significantly behind the required run rate.
After that point wickets fell at regular intervals with six bowlers sharing the wickets.
N Barnard (43) for Middlezoy the only stand out batter as they were eventually dismissed for 182 in the 39th over.
On Sunday May 25 Wembdon host North Perrott in County Semi Final of the National Village Cup.

Last week, news of a Chobani moldy yogurt recall exploded across the nation, and now the yogurt giant has named the mold at the center of the recall: Mucor circinelloide.
Randy Worobo, a professor of Food Science in Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and a leading expert on food spoilage, microbial food safety and quality, said on Chobani's blog that Mucor circinelloides is "a species of mold commonly associated with fruits, vegetables and dairy that has been reported to cause spoilage like swelling and bloating in yogurt. It is not considered a disease-causing foodborne microorganism."
"This mold should not pose a health risk to most consumers," Worobo added. "Very rarely, it can act as an opportunistic pathogen, but not through food and usually only for people with compromised immune systems through inhalation. The organism is regularly used for the production of natural flavor compounds that are widely used in the food industry."
Read, "Mold behind Chobani recall poses little threat to consumers."
The recall affected less than 5 percent of Chobani's products and even prompted a federal probe. The mold caused the yogurt products to swell, distorting the packaging and even causing some to burst.
"While this type of mold is common in the dairy environment, particularly when using only natural ingredients that are absent of artificial preservatives, it's still unacceptable to me and all of our yogurt makers," Ulukaya said in a letter to customers.
"I'm sorry we let you down," he added.
Though Chobani has yet to announce the number of people sickened by the recall, Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya told the Associated Press it was not in the hundreds of thousands.

From February 6, 2004
Guildhall chiefs reversed an unpopular decision to close Kingston Museum for an extra day a week in this week 20 years ago.
The surprise u-turn was met with jubilation from campaigners, according to the Comet.
Delighted Anne McCormack, head of Kingston's heritage and arts, said: "It's come as a complete surprise to us that the museums budget has been restored. It will enable us not only to go ahead with our planned centenary celebrations this year, but also to plan for the future in consultation with the community and all interested parties."
At the time the museum was exhibiting satirical papier-mache sculptures from Peter Rush including one of Margaret Thatcher.
The museum had been faced with cuts just a month earlier.
A draft budget had planned to open just four days a week from April to save £15,000 from Kingston Council's overall budget of £160m.
The move would have threatened the museum's programme of events to celebrate its 100-year history, at least one job and it's ability to tour exhibitions.
The museum was receiving 26,000 visitors a year the Comet said.
The move came after a Government grant was recalculated giving an extra £225,000.
Then council leader Derek Osbourne said: "I am glad that we can keep the museum open as usual, especially in its centenary year and still reduce council tax further."
50 YEARS AGO: February 5, 1964
Former Ks chairman John Cannon died suddenly aged 77 in this week in 1964. The former chief postal inspector had been chairman for 10 years and during his term the club paid off the mortgage on its Richmond Road ground.
25 YEARS AGO: February 3, 1989
An old established firms in Kingston was given the shock news it would be closed with the loss of 240 jobs, in this week in 1989. Vine Products and Whiteways in Villiers Road had occupied the site since 1907 but was to be moved to Bristol.
10 YEARS AGO: February 3 2004
New plans for a student village in Lower Marsh Lane were unveiled with 150 key worker flats. Councillors had rejected an application for a 1,000 bed student flats in April.

Roberts Europe and TRW Automotive continue partnership with European contract renewal
Maastricht-Airport (NL) – TRW Automotive has sealed its European partnership by renewing its European contract for Premium Freight with Roberts Europe.
The contract renewal has been discussed and negotiated with the EMEA & AP Logistics team and has taken effect as from January 1st. For the past two years, Roberts Europe has been the most important Premium Road Freight provider to manage the volume of most TRW locations in twelve European countries.
Helge Wöbke, Head of Logistics EMEA & AP, confirms that TRW has seen improved business continuity and in depth cost transparence on a company wide scale for its overall Premium Freight spent in the past years. "Roberts' commitment and high service level for all TRW locations in Europe have proven to be of added value. We are very satisfied with the uniform processes this cooperation provides."
Roberts Europe strives for long term engagement with its customers by offering a one-stop-shop partnership for premium freight solutions resulting in a variety of customer benefits. "We are happy that our continuous efforts to meet TRW's strategic targets have been recognized by granting this contract renewal" says Fred Snippe (President & CEO at Roberts Europe).

There's nothing wrong with being the second choice.
Harrison Ford wasn't the first choice to play Indiana Jones; Tom Selleck was. Both Tom Hanks and Kevin Costner turned down the role of Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption. Thank you very much, says Tim Robbins. Keanu Reeves can also send a thank you note to Will Smith for turning down the role of Neo in The Matrix.
By now, we all know that Pete Carroll wasn't the first or even second choice to be the USC coach. I'd say that one worked out ok for everyone involved…well right up until all those pesky sanctions anyway.
This is being written under the assumption that Mike McCoy was the first choice of the Arizona Cardinals to be their head coach. It is not a known fact but rather speculation based on their reported desire to interview him again. But after the Chargers sent a jet to pick up McCoy for his interview (with the contract waiting for him inside the cabin) the Cardinals were never going to get that chance. Besides, San Diego has a quarterback, Arizona doesn't. Seems like a no-brainer from here.
So now it just feels like it's time for Plan B, which could very well end up being the guy many figured would get the job before Ken Whisenhunt was even fired: Ray Horton.
If that happens, I wouldn't expect him to be miffed that he had to endure this process; at the end of the day he wants to be a head coach in the NFL and that's exactly what he'll be. That's my point about Indiana Jones and Shawshank. There is nothing wrong with being Plan B — Unless you think you're never going to be picked at all. Again…more on that in a sec.
If you really think about it, it's the lack of interest in Horton that has allowed the Cardinals to pursue this at their pace. No rush. No pressure. No panic. It's a different story if there is tremendous demand for Horton.
But if this continues to stretch out, you can't help but wonder if the Cards are set on hiring an offensive-minded coach. One who can keep up with ever-evolving offenses. One who can do what Whiz couldn't; select and develop a quarterback. And one who keeps Ray Horton right where he is — in charge of one of the best defenses in the NFL. There is some logic to it — fix what is actually broken and leave Ray and the defense alone, don't take a chance that his promotion weakens the defense and hire a head coach that can fix what is broken.
And after news broke of the Cardinals' interest in Seattle O.C. Darrell Bevell, the evidence is mounting that is precisely the direction they are leaning.
Either way, what a weird trip it's been for the Cards. Getting played by Andy Reid and getting beat by San Diego. Safe to say it's led to some unrest among the fans and it looks from here like the Cardinals can relate to that feeling of not being somebody's first choice.
But like I say, being someone's first choice isn't always the best choice. Maybe that will turn out for Ray Horton and the Cardinals.

Time has announced it is cutting several hundred jobs as the US publishing giant streamlines to adapt to a "multi-platform" media landscape.
Laura Lang, chief executive at the media unit of Time Warner, said the group was "beginning the painful process" of cutting "approximately six per cent" of its 8000 staff positions worldwide.
"With the significant and ongoing changes in our industry, we must continue to transform our company into one that is leaner, more nimble and more innately multi-platform," she said in a memo to staff.
"To make this change, we need to operate as smartly and efficiently as possible to create room for critical investments and new initiatives. These reductions are part of this important transformation process."
And in another sign of tougher economic times for the publisher, Reuters has reported that media giant is considering selling its New York headquarters and has asked real estate brokers to evaluate the building's value The company publishes 21 US magazines including its flagship Time magazine, People, Fortune and Sports Illustrated.
It 25 websites and several international magazines including global editions of Time and Fortune and publishing operations in Britain and Mexico.
Ms Lang said the job cuts would "come from all areas of Time Inc. across our locations - both domestic and international" but offered no further details.
The move comes just months after Time magazine's longtime rival Newsweek said it would end its print edition and go all-digital as part of its partnership with the Daily Beast website.
The publishing industry has been grappling with a steep drop in print advertising revenue, steadily declining circulation and the migration of readers to free news online.
According to a Reuters report, the company is considering a wide range of options for its New York headquarters, including selling the midtown Manhattan building and leasing it back, moving more employees into the building and closing other New York offices, or moving out from the building entirely, one source said.
Time Warner owns or occupies space in 15 buildings in the New York metropolitan area, with 10 in Manhattan, the source said.
The company has been evaluating its real estate needs for at least a year and hopes to finalise a plan by the end of 2013.
The office building is part of a construction project that Apollo Real Estate Advisors, now called AREA Property Partners, and related companies finished last decade. The project was originally called the AOL Time Warner Center but was renamed the Time Warner Center after the media company changed its name to distance itself from its disastrous merger with America Online.
The Time Warner Center is easily recognised by its two towers that include residential condominiums, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel and a shopping mall.
The $47 billion media giant owns the Warner Brothers movie studio, cable news channel CNN, premium TV service HBO, Turner Broadcasting and Time Inc.
When it reports fourth-quarter results next week, analysts expect revenue to be higher than a year ago, at $8.24 billion.
The stock was up 0.4 per cent to $50.28. Its shares have risen about 37 per cent since January, 2012.

Ok, seriously… where did this past year go? It seems like just yesterday everyone was gearing up to welcome Cooking Channel to the world, this blog here was just getting started, and everything was new and fresh! Luckily, everything is still as new, fresh and delicious as ever as Cooking Channel turns 1 year old! And can you believe it? It flew by!
I've had a fantastic time creating recipes and writing for Devour The Blog, and I've also had a fantastic time watching so many old and new friends on Cooking Channel. As a way to celebrate and say THANK YOU I decided to put together a cake worthy of this blog's birthday. Because what is 1 year without something sweet? I thought so.
Every since tasting this frosting I really haven't been able to move onto any other frosting. You can keep your vanilla, your chocolate — I'll happily make another batch of this Dulce De Leche Frosting for me and my baked goods. Imagine this: rich, caramelly dulce de leche gets mixed with softened cream cheese and heavy whipping cream (gasp!) to create a tangy, creamy frosting that's greater than the sum of its parts. There's a pronounced tang with this frosting, and while it's very sweet, it's stands up well to a very moist chocolate cake.
I suppose this frosting would be at home on just about any cake, from lemon to poundcake to everything in between. But when I pair it with chocolate cake kissed with a tiny bit of coffee, I'm reminded of my favorite Argentine dessert, the Chocotorta, a simple no-bake dessert served at children's parties and birthdays. Considering Cooking Channel is still an infant, I can't think of a better way to celebrate. Won't you join me in wishing them a big happy sweet birthday? I'll bring the milk!
Devil's Food Chocolate Cake with Dulce De Leche Frosting
Devil's Food Cake:
1 3⁄4 cups cake flour
3⁄4 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1⁄2 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
2⁄3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted
1 1⁄4 cups vegetable oil
1 1⁄4 cups buttermilk
3⁄4 cup brewed coffee
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 13.4-oz can dulce de leche
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 2 9-inch cake pans.
Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until light and aerated. Stir in melted chocolate, vegetable oil, buttermilk, and coffee and whisk until combined.
In three additions, pour wet mixture into dry mixture, whisking well after each addition. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool.
For the frosting:
Beat cream to soft peaks. Set aside. Beat together dulce de leche, cream cheese, vanilla and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until well combined. Fold in the whipped cream, cover with plastic wrap and keep room temperature until ready to use.
To assemble the cake:
Once the cake is completely cool, put one layer on a serving plate and put a healthy dollop of frosting on top. Spread the frosting to the edge then place the other cake layer on top and frost.

Great British Bake-Off supremo Mary Berry presented a cake to chat show host Graham Norton - and admitted it had already been nibbled by her dog.
The kitchen guru said her spaniel had taken a chunk out of the treat she had taken to the studio during the New Year's Eve edition of his programme.
But she simply patched it up to disguise the damage for the recording of the Graham Norton Show, to be screened on Monday on BBC One.
Mary and Bake-Off co-star Paul Hollywood were appearing as guests on the show alongside big-screen stars Tom Cruise, Hugh Jackman, Billy Crystal and Rosamund Pike when she made her confession.
She told the presenter: "Poppy leapt up and took a bite out of the cake and I thought about making another one but I didn't have time so I just filled the hole with icing."
Paul Hollywood said the personality of contestants did not enter into the judging process for the unlikely TV hit, purely culinary ability.
"You can't do that, you've got to be fair," he said. "Someone did talk off camera to us last year and I thought 'right, I've marked your card mate', but it doesn't work like that because people's heart and soul goes into it and you have to judge it properly."

For years, cooking chicken on the gas grill had been problematic, flare ups, poor temp control, etc.
Don't know why I didn't think of this before. Foiled bricks on the grate with a half steamer aluminum pan with water, topped by a stainless steel sheet designed to cook small bites on the grill. Sprayed the cooking surface with Pam, rubbed the bird with spices and some oil and away we go. Now only problem was that I started the grill on high, with all intentions of lowering the temp once the bird was on. But as they say, best laid plans, I forgot to lower the flame. Good thing it was elevated or else it would have been incinerated. Anyway, caught it in time. Served the chicken along with some home fried potatoes and apple stuffing.


text: PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- Four years ago, I told the story of 23-year-old Marine Lance Corporal Jeffrey Michael Lucey of Belchertown, Mass. -- an Iraq veteran who committed suicide after struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder -- as a means of explaining what was then a recent spike in military suicides.Next year will be the 10th anniversary of Lance Corporal Lucey's death. In that decade, the number of suicides among active members of the military and veterans hasn't abated. In fact the 349 military suicides in 2012 exceeded the 295 U.S. military members who died in combat in Afghanistan last year. Most suicides occurred among personnel between 18 and 24 years old. Meanwhile, roughly 6,500 former military personnel killed themselves last year, which equates to one suicide every 80 minutes. The June 2012 Monthly Medical Surveillance Report published by the Armed Forces Health Surveillance Center directly addresses military suicide and notes that annual incident diagnoses of mental disorders among active service members have increased by roughly 65% percent in the last 12 years. That doesn't just go away when service members are discharged, either. The Department of Veterans Affairs estimates that roughly 13% of the overall U.S. homeless population are veterans, with 50% experiencing severe mental illness and 75% struggling with substance abuse. Younger vets from recent wars make up approximately 10% of that veteran homeless population and 31% of all veteran suicides. As we mentioned three years ago while telling the story of 21-year-old Army Specialist Adam Kuligowski -- who took his rifle into a bathroom stall at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan and shot himself on on April 6, 2009 -- often the very drugs soldiers are using to combat depression, insomnia and post-traumatic stress disorder are the ones interacting with other drugs and pushing military personnel toward suicide. This is what those who've fought our nation's most recent wars have had to deal with. This is the collective price they pay, and it hasn't diminished in recent years. On this Veterans Day and every other within the last decade or so, an increasing number of veterans are finding themselves pushed to the brink as the infrastructure of VA facilities, clinics, doctors, shelters, safe house and other facilities do what they can to keep them stable or, at the very least, alive.

By Tim Lakey,
ST. Louis Entrepreneurship Teacher
In early February, we had our first speaker provided to us by NFTE. His name is Sylvester Chisom, and he came to talk about his experiences in becoming an entrepreneur, and how my students might get some ideas from his experiences. He was a great fit for my students. He started his first business when he was in high school. His business is a car wash that most of the students are familiar with. Mr. Chisom made the point that the students should keep their eyes open for any opportunities that they might be able to turn into a business.
He then told the story of his car wash which started out with Mr. Chisom and his partner washing cars for women that came to his mother's beauty shop. They grew their business over the years to not only include a building where they was and detail cars, but they also have a mobile fleet of trucks that can clean customer's cars on sight. His story showed the students that they can start small with a business and then build it from there.
I have been talking to my students since the beginning of the semester about how they need to come up with a business idea that they can turn into a business plan. We spend at least a few minutes of every class talking about what might constitute a good idea to pursue. A lot of students already have an idea about what type of business they are interested in, but some are still struggling to come up with something. Mr. Chisom talked a lot about how students need to pursue something that they are passionate about. One student mentioned that she was very good at making PowerPoint presentations. Mr. Chisom told her that he has a friend who received a contract with one of the larger companies here in town to revamp all of their training presentations.
On the same day that Mr. Chisom spoke to the students the girl that said she was good with PowerPoint presentations came by my classroom a few minutes before school was ending. She was very excited because she now has a business idea. She told me that she has been helping a lot of her classmates with their PowerPoint presentations and she thinks that she is going to pursue something along those lines for her business plan.
It was great for the students to be exposed to someone that started their own company while they were in high school. The students related to Mr. Chisom, and when we discussed his presentation the following day most agreed that they got a few good ideas from the presentation.
Check out Tim's other blogs about his NFTE experience here and here.
