On The Road Movies: Top 11 Travel Movies
By Jeff Game
Much like travel can help you escape from your everyday life, a good movie can help us get lost in world that we may have never known. Even more so, a good movie about travel helps you escape and if it really grabs you, makes you want to take your own journey to the place in the movie.
After all, we all have at least one movie in mind that made us take notice and maybe wanted to go visit some day—even if that was Hogwarts Academy or the Empire State building on Valentine's Day—there is probably one movie destination, one movie road trip on your bucket list.
Being that is Oscar weekend, here are my top 11 travel movies—movies that have made me want to go and visit that place in the script. Some on the list I have traveled to and some are still on my list—some day I will travel to the rest of the list.What is on your favorite travel movie list?
Lost In Translation
First you have Bill Murray, giving one of his best performances, as he weaves his way through this character that was once famous and now is doing whiskey commercials in Japan. This is story any traveler can relate to, feeling isolated and unsure about this new culture, food, and customs and of course the other language they are all speaking.
Unbearable Lightness of Being
This film about the 1968 uprising in Czechoslovakian introduced me to Daniel-Day Lewis and Juliet Binoche and it also made me dream of visiting Prague some day. Prague is still at the top of my list to travel some day.
Before Sunrise
Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, two twenty-something's falling in love on a train through Europe, how cool is that. The first in a trilogy of movies featuring the love these characters build and for me, I could have put all three on my list.
Il Postino
Not only is this a love story of an Italian postman who finds himself and he finds love, he also finds a lifelong friendship with the exiled Chilean poet, Pablo Naruda. This is a great movie to watch on a summer's night, break off a piece of great bread with salami and get lost in the Italian coastal town.
Midnight in Paris
I could name a dozen movies set in Paris that I could have easily added to this list, however one of my recent favorites is Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. I am already a big Woody Allen fan and I really get lost in this modern day romance that travels back in romantic Parisian history. The opening shot is a love letter to the streets if Paris.
The Blues Brothers/Smokey and the Bandit/Midnight Run
Ok, so this movies are not exactly your feel good, get lost in a vacation movie; these movies are running from the law, sometimes get shot at, smashing up lots of cars, set with the American landscape as the back drop. Besides the running from the law part, each of these movies made me love road trips even more—in a black trans-am— on a mission from God.
Into the Wild
Emile Hirsch leaves behind the world that he is dissatisfied with and loses himself in the Alaskan wilderness. This Sean Penn written and directed film shows the beautiful Alaskan frontier, as well as how isolated we all can feel when we lose ourselves in one place. You may just not want to get too lost and starve to death.
Under the Tuscan Sun
I am an unashamed "chick-flick" fan and first on my list is Under the Tuscan Sun. Post divorce, Diane Lane's character takes gay vacation tour through the Tuscan countryside and ends up buying a broken down home and in turn, changes her life for the better.
P.S. I Love You
Much like Paris, I could have named so many movies that take place in Ireland, however for this list, I went with a more recent romantic comedy. Even though we lose the main romantic, Irish lead to a brain tumor, the movie takes us on journey to Ireland as well as a discovery of his widow's purpose for the rest of her life without her Irish love. No seriously, this is a romantic comedy, Irish style.
All the Presidents Men
Not at all a warm vacation movie, however I remember watching this movie as a kid and wanting to visit Washington D.C. and see all of our American history in one place. DC is one of my favorite places to travel and this movie of Redford and Hoffman bringing down Nixon, is one of my favorite movies.
So I Married an Ax Murderer
The title may sound more like a Hitchcock movie that takes place in San Francisco, although it is a wacky Mike Myers trip through one of the greatest cities on this planet. This great comedy showed me how cool and diverse San Francisco is and really helped me fall in love with the golden gate city. Head, pants, now!

A quick update on pledges... Currently we have flat donations of $96 and per-mile pledges totaling $0.255. The per-mile may increase, though, based on the results of Dave's Challenge. That puts us so far at a projected total of about $350 contribution for the Dream Team. Thanks to everyone who has pledged money so far.
Running went fairly well for me last night, but Kristin was having trouble breathing after she got going. She put in one mile. I ran 2.75 mi, with a short walk break at the two mile mark.

This is so interesting reading the reviews. I met my husband on eHarmony 7 years ago. He was a match for me at the very first but I thought there's no way! I cancelled my membership for 6 months. one lonely night I signed back up. He was still there so I pinged him. Within a week we met. Two months later got married. I'm still grateful for eHarmony bringing us together. He was never what I imagined myself to be with but I was wrong. He was exactly what I needed– I just didn't know it at first. Allow yourself to branch out of your comfort zone and you might be surprised.
It is a great site. I am now married and have two beautiful baby girls thanks to this site to find the love of my life. Thank You eharmony!!! I wish more people will use this site as much as I did.
I'm filling out the profile as a new user. Apparently, my getting up early before work to do this was a waste. My page expired and there is NO phone # for someone who isn't registered for help. Just a computer that matches key words like "the, of, in" I found all this out later when I spent MORE time on the internet to find a #. I did and the person told me #'s weren't available unless you register (which is what I was trying to do). He also said there is a time period per page, but they don't post that so I LOST ALL MY DATA and TIME!!!!
If e harmony takes care of its business in the beginning with a prospective and once positive customer, then how on earth is their service going to work!
I am so happy with EH, i was match with my fiance on march 2010, at that time i was out of the country, we start, email each other for about 1 month, then on the phone for 1 month. On May we decided to meet came to denver where he lives and we are getting married on nov 5 2010. Plus I found all that i want, same age, no kids etc…. We love each other.
We both are so happy that we found each other…. THANKS E HARMONY!!!!!!
I was sent 25 matches in the first week alone. One of the matches was Keith. We went through each step given us. Then went to open chat and finally he gave me his number to call him. Our first phone call was 4 hours long. I hadn't talked that much on the telephone since high school. I found that we lived less than a mile away from each other. We dated a year when he proposed on Christmas Eve and married the following year. We have been married for 6 years now and are very happy. Thank you, e-Harmony!
I have to say that I have had great experience with eHarmony customer service. Every time I called I got my answer within 5 mins. I think you may have gotten the new guy or gal.
The eharmony process is much better than the "free" sites and definitely matches you with people of similar personality type. The people I met were very nice and I liked them as people. I'm currently dating someone I met there and we'll see where things go.
I joined eHarmony by getting a 3 month membership for $110 dls, after a friend recommended it. I like their process better than other matching websites because I don't have to search through all the existing members. With eHarmony the matches are pre-selected for me and at least I know there's things in common with the person from the day we start talking. I also like their initial "get to know each other" process. It's helped me identify quality people almost from the beginning.
I received about 100 matches the first month and a half. I communicated to some degree with about 20 of them, emailed with about 5 of them and had dates with two. I actually ended up in a relationship with one of them. This guy is very similar to me in more ways than I could've imagined. We share interests, sense of humor, family background, values, goals, etc… even personality traits I don't often see in other people, not even my friends. From the beginning it was very easy to be with him. I attribute that to the initial personality test, and the fact that this guy was pre-selected for me among 13,000,000 other users.
I actually had a few minor problems with their website, which were quickly resolved after I phoned their 24/7 Customer Service. They were efficient and nice every time I called. They even extended my membership for another month after I called them with a technical problem – which I didn't need anyway since I'm already dating this guy.
eHarmony is worth the effort if you're really looking for a serious long-term relationship. I'd definitely recommend it.

The Czech Republic remains an investment haven for Azerbaijani officials
In 2012, a journalist Khadija Ismayilova investigated Azerbaijani officials's investments in the Czech Republic. She was arrested soon afterwards. Three years later, we focus on the development of the story within the context of Czech-Azerbaijani relations.

Azerbaijan, under the personal dictatorship of President Ilham Aliyev who "inherited" the country from his father, Heydar Aliyev, has recently captured the international media's interest because they hosted June's European Games. The Guardian's chief sports correspondent, Owen Gibson, was denied entry into Azerbaijan to report on the games 1 and asked, "whether a country with such a poor human rights record should host an international sporting event." 2 This dilemma was also reflected in the European leaders' boycott of the game's opening ceremony. 3
Azerbaijan's human rights track record is rather disappointing – Reporters Without Borders ranks Azerbaijan 162nd out of 180 countries for press freedom, explaining that, "outspoken journalists and bloggers are being given the same choice as human rights defenders – shut up, flee abroad or be jailed on trumped-up charges." 4 Similarly, the Committee to Protect Journalists ranks Azerbaijan as the 5th most censored country in the world, 5 and Human Rights Watch pointed to 35 incidents of the detainment, prosecution or imprisonment of political activists and journalists in 2014. 6 The Guardian claims there are currently about 100 political detainees. 7
One of them is Azerbaijani investigative journalist and radio host, Khadija Ismayilova, who the Europe and Central Asia Programme Director at Amnesty International, John Dalhuisen, characterized as, "one of the last remaining independent voices in the country." 8 In 2012 Ismayilova played a key role in investigating the "Azeri Enclave in the Czech Republic" case, which was published by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). 9 The investigation focused on Azerbaijani officials, including members of the ruling Aliyev family, who established companies, bought land, and built luxury hotels and villas in the Czech Republic.
The mainstream media coverage in the Czech Republic was scarce – the report was only mentioned twice – once when one of the authors, Pavla Holcová, was invited to talk about the topic on Czech Radio, 10 and a second time when Petra Procházková, a respected journalist and analyst of the Caucasus Region, wrote a full article on the topic. She noted that instead of criminal investigations, which one might expect following the OCCRP report, nothing happened. Procházková concluded that "an important role in the complicated property webs were played by Czech intermediaries; although their names were publicly known, the evidence of their illegal activities were missing from records." 11
Because Azerbaijani oppositional media raised interest in the case, officials moved to cover their tracks. Several changes occurred and property was reshuffled between owners, so that members of the Azerbaijani government and the MPs "disappeared" as direct owners, which, as Holcová concluded, was illegal. Fortunes were re-directed to their relatives, but no one was punished. 12
After the original text was published, there were two changes in Azerbaijani businesses in Karlovy Vary. First in September 2013, President Aliyev's daughter, Arzu, sold Zodiac Immobilienbesitz for $1.2 million. However the new boss of the company, Mahir Rafiyev, is not without political connections himself. In addition to being an advisor to the Azerbaijani Minister of Taxes, he is also the presidential family's business partner in the finance sector.
Second, Hotel Jeseter´s construction was completed and opened under a new name, Retro Riverside, targeting wealthy clientele. The locals were hoping the hotel would bring new life to the area around the dam, but those prospects were marred by the luxury hotel's prices, which were far too high for locals to afford, making the place a foreign clientele haven.
The story of Khadija Ismayilova
Very soon after the publication of the original story, Ismayilova became aware she was to be detained. 13 She was summoned for questioning on December 5, 2014, and after giving her testimony was charged, the court decided to detain her for the two-month period leading up to her trial. It was alleged that Ismayilova incited her former Radio Free Europe colleague, Tural Mustafayev's suicide attempt, a crime according to Azerbaijani law that is punishable by a seven-year incarceration. 14 The prosecutors conveniently picked St Nicholas Day for her arrest, knowing the media would be busy reporting the coming holidays.
The day after her arrest, a 15-man special commando police unit searched her apartment, where they confiscated 58 DVDs, a modem and a number of business cards. Then on January 27, 2015 the court decided to extend Ismayilova's detention for two more months without setting a trial date.
The Washington Post reprinted a letter from Ismayilova on February 2015 in which she claimed that she was not intimidated by her detainment, because she knew she fought for a righteous cause, and she appealed to public to seek the truth. 15 In a closed process on February 24th, Ismayilova was fined $2,400 for defamation. 16 Her lawyer made a public statement on March 3rd, in which Ismayilova accused Azerbaijan's ruling regime of being a criminal establishment and referred to her indictment as an insult. 17 On March 8th the court again extended Ismayilova's detention to May 24th. 18
On May 8th Ismayilova received the PEN American Center's Barbara Goldsmith Freedom to Write award in absentia. Ismayilova in a letter that was smuggled from prison in pieces wrote: "The truth is that Azerbaijan is in the midst of a human rights crisis. Things have never been worse (…) as those at the top continue to profit from corruption, ordinary people are struggling to work, struggling to live, struggling for freedom." 19
At the end of the ceremony, a series of cartoons by famous artists that told the story of the Azerbaijani journalist were presented to members of the audience. 20 While on May 14th, the court again extended Ismayilova's detention until August 24th, 21 on May 18th The National Press Club announced that it would honor her with a 2015 Press Freedom Award. 22
An important figure in this case is Ismayilova's former colleague, Tural Mustafayev. Although he initially accused her of incitement to suicide, after her detainment he later attempted to drop the charges. For various reasons this did not happen. He eventually wrote an official letter to the prosecutor in early April, withdrawing the charges, saying that he had placed them under stress and while experiencing psychological problems. 23 In early May, Mustafayev extended his statement via a YouTube video, in which he claimed to have been pressured by police to make the allegations. They supposedly blackmailed him and threatened to publish a video secretly filmed in his apartment. 24
Even though the original accusations were refuted, Ismayilova still faces up to 12 years in prison for other charges, which were brought against her during her detention. According to her lawyer, she is accused of embezzlement, illegal trade, tax evasion and abuse of power. 25 Before the beginning of the European Games she wrote: "I am carrying on my struggle here, from jail. ( (…) I have been punished for speaking out from jail, placed in solitary confinement and prevented from seeing my family and lawyers." 26
Between business and human rights
There is a visible conflict between human rights and economic interests in the Czech Republic's official approach to Azerbaijan. When Karel Schwarzenberg was Minister of Foreign Affairs between 2007 and 2013, Czech diplomacy sought to balance these approaches, even if it ignited conflict with Czech industry representatives and Azerbaijani officials.
Nowadays, the majority of Czech politicians are more inclined to prioritize the interests of local businesses, while sidelining human rights policies. The Czech NGO, People in Need (Člověk v tísni), even claims that some Czech politicians are directly or indirectly corrupt due to their "whitewashing" of authoritarian regimes' behaviors. There have been instances where they have visited problematic countries and praised the "regular" election processes, that critics have considered falsified or contrained. 27
As the current Minister of Industry and Trade, Jan Mládek, said, "Azerbaijan is our most important strategic trade partner in the Southern Caucasus," stressing that mutual trade turnover reached 1.16 billion euros in 2013. Azerbaijan is also the second largest importer of oil to the Czech Republic. 28 When Mládek visited Azerbaijan in March 2015, he dealt primarily with mutual cooperation in the energy sector, trade and development of Azerbaijani infrastructure. 29
President Miloš Zeman intends to keep good relations with Azerbaijan. In February 2014 he met with President Aliyev in Sochi, to discuss increasing mutual trade and Azerbaijan's contribution to the fight against Islamic fundamentalism. 30 However, concerning relations with Azerbaijan, his tenure has not been completely "conflict-free". Azerbaijan officially complained in a diplomatic note that Jindřich Forejt, President Zeman´s chief of protocol, did not let Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign Affairs, Elmar Mammadyarov, meet with or sit at the same table as the Czech President. 31
An important feature of Czech-Azerbaijani relations has been Czech support for Azerbaijani dissidents. In 2013, People in Need awarded the Homo homini prize to Intigam Aliyev, a lawyer who because of his participation at demonstrations commemorating the deaths of Azerbaijani soldiers, was arrested in March 2013. 32 A year later, the Human Rights Foundation awarded the Václav Havel´s Prize for Human Rights to Anar Mammadli, who was sentenced to five and a half years in May 2015 for establishing a center for the independent monitoring of elections. 33
When the prize to Intigam Aliyev was handed over, Karel Schwarzenberg met with the lawyer in the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that Western countries should not turn their eyes away from Azerbaijan's human rights abuses. 34 Schwarzenberg branded Azerbaijan a "solid family dictatorship," 35 and the daily Právo reported that President Aliyev responded by saying the Czech Minister would not be let into Azerbaijan unless he apologized for the statement. 36 Schwarzenberg however refused to apologize.
The Czech Republic's recent official statement delivered March 17, 2015, at the Human Rights Council's 28th session (RLP28) pointed out Azerbaijan's deteriorating environment for independent media and the ongoing persecution and imprisonment of human rights defenders, activists and journalists there. 37
The Czech Republic also got involved in a memory battle between Armenia and Azerbaijan regarding the 1990´s conflict in Northern Karabakh. In 2013, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Czech Parliament officially declared 38 compassion for the Azerbaijani people when commemorating the 21st anniversary of the Khojaly Massacre, 39 when both Azerbaijan and Armenia have both been accused of committing it. 40
The proclamation stated that 21 years had passed since Armenian units brutally killed 613 harmless civilians in the Azerbaijani town of Khojaly. It referred to the Human Rights Watch statement, 41 which said the Armenian units violated the usual norms for handling civilians. Many governments in the world condemned it, calling it a crime against humanity. The statement also highlights that the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions 822 (1993), 853 (1993), 874 (1993) and 884 (1993), all urging the Armenian units to terminate their occupation of Azeri territories; and that the UN General Assembly, European Parliament, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe all confirmed the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, including Northern Karabakh.
The Czech Republic was the only EU country who condemned the Khojaly Massacre –the Czech Parliament´s declaration was met with surprise and was perceived as one sided considering the mutual violence committed in the conflict. 42 The journalist and senator, Jaromír Štětina, protested against the declaration, 43 saying it was adopted only several days after the Chairman of the Committee, David Vodrážka, met with Azerbaijan's Envoy, Tahir Taghizad. He insinuated that the envoy misled the members of the committee about some of the basic facts of the massacre. 44
Moreover, the declaration put Minister Schwarzenberg in an awkward situation when he visited Armenia and had to explain the committee's resolution. 45 And to the dismay of Azerbaijan and its envoy to the Czech Republic, Schwarzenberg commented on the Khojaly Massacre, saying that, "such things happen in a war." 46 The envoy also criticized Schwarzenberg´s approach, claiming it a concerted campaign against Azerbaijan, creating a reputation of the Czechs being biased against Azerbaijan. 47

- Another letter from prison appeared on March 10th, in which Ismayilova wrote that her life would not end in prison. She described how Azerbaijan increasingly uses repressive methods similar to those used in Russia. However, she also added that she had not lost hope and was continuing work on her book. Fifteen days later Ismayilova was allowed to see her family for the first time, but only through a glass barrier.See "Vazba Chadídži Ismailové prodloužena do 24. května" (The detainment of Khadiya Ismaylova has been prolonged to 24 May), Cesta iniciativy, April 16, 2015.

Tories have not connected with voters for over 30 years, says Justine Greening
The former cabinet minister suggested that the Tories are still seen as the nasty party.
Back in 2002 Theresa May made her name by telling a stunned Conservative Party conference that some people called them the nasty party.
More recently she tried to pin the label on Labour. "You know what some people call them? The nasty party," she told the 2016 Tory conference, to sustained applause.
But now a former cabinet minister has suggested that the Tories have not quite managed to shed the image themselves, actually.
Speaking at a Bright Blue event in central London, Justine Greening did not use the N word. But she went close enough by saying it often felt like Conservatives were "the last" people to challenge social injustices in the UK.
The comments have been seen not only as a veiled dig at Theresa May, but also a swipe at David Cameron.
"It's unacceptable that in Britain today where you start still so much shapes and determines your future," said Greening, who dramatically quit as education secretary in January.
"This party should be the first to want to challenge that, yet sometimes it does feel like we've been the last."
She went on to criticse her party for being too sensible and said the Tories had not connected with people's aspirations for over 30 years.
"I think we have to recognise as Conservatives that it has now been 31 years since this party last won an election with any kind of substantial majority. And I think that was the last time we were a party that really connected with people's aspirations."
"We are a party that has traditionally connected with people's heads. They learned that it's sensible to vote Conservative if you want a strong economy...
"I think we haven't won that big electoral mandate that we did in decades past because sensible isn't enough for people. I think we have not been a party that has spoken enough to the aspirations and the challenges that younger generations of people have faced."

For decades, girls from an ethnic backgrounds, whether Arab, African, or Caribbean, have been made to hate their curly hair and ridiculed for wearing it naturally. Curly hair isn't seen as an attractive or desirable style in these countries, and girls have been made to feel less beautiful than those with straighter hair.
This was especially the case for Eman El-Deeb, a young Egyptian woman who lived her whole life in Egypt with big curly hair up until 2016 when she decided to leave the country due to the constant ridicule she received for her natural locks. She experienced the opposite reaction in her new place of residence, Spain, where she was actually admired for her curly hair.
This is an on-going problem in Eastern countries such as Egypt, where women are striving to reach more Western beauty ideals by straightening their hair and avoiding too much sun exposure to have a lighter skin tone.
"The decision to leave was a very sad one for me. I never imagined I'd migrate," Eman told the BBC. "But I was tired… I reached the point where I felt I wanted to live in a place where my looks do not bother anyone."
She stated how she was constantly asked to straighten her hair by a fellow colleague whilst working in a bank back in Egypt. The daily derision got too much for the young girl who decided it was time to leave the country that made her feel less attractive for her natural hair.
Curly hair is a dominant feature amongst Eastern women, especially those from Egypt, yet most are made to feel aesthetically inadequate and feel pressured into straightening it in order to fit their society's standard of beauty.
In March 2016, a curly hair revolution happened in Egypt in the form of the Hair Addict group, a Facebook page that helps give women advice on how to treat and take care of their naturally curly hair. The group now has over 105,000 female members since its launch two years ago. The group was launched by self-confessed "nerd" and curly hair struggler Doaa Gawish, after she herself received endless ridicule and mockery for her curly hair.
The group became increasingly popular in the curly hair community as a platform for followers to share hair-care tips. They then decided to take the brave step of going completely heat-free, this has proven a huge success since the challenge started in July 2016.
Noran Amr is one of the heat-free revolutionaries. She first took the plunge a year ago and recently attended a wedding with her natural curls for the first time. "People's reaction at the wedding was overwhelmingly positive. Everyone commented on how nice my hair was." She told the BBC, "People now have much more awareness. There is now a culture of curly hair in Egypt."
Egyptians took the next big step by opening the first curly hair salon, following a great demand from curly haired females. The Curly Studio works by appointments only and receives over 30 clients a week. Sara Safwat, the young owner says "the trend is very popular, especially among millennials."
Eman also felt the change as she returned to Egypt for a visit. She told the BBC, "In April 2017, while I was visiting Egypt, a taxi driver told me 'your hair is very nice.' At first, I thought he was being sarcastic. But then I realised he was being sincere. That was the first positive comment about my hair that I had ever heard in Egypt."
The Curly Studio is amongst many other things that are helping young women not only find their identity, but to love how they look with their natural curls. Young women, particularity in Egypt and the Middle East are being encouraged to embrace their locks and to ditch the idea of hair-straightening their way to unrealistic beauty standards.
The main cause and advocate for this movement is the number of social media platforms and outlets that are promoting the benefits and realistic, achievable beauty standards of learning how to curl your own hair in the best way.
Hadear Kandil, an American-Egyptian woman and founder of m'laulau shared her personal experience on NaturallyCurly of her experience growing up as a naturally curly Egyptian in the Western suburbs of New York. She expresses how it was a long and personal journey for her to finally embrace and love her identity and roots through her naturally curly hair. She claims it connects her to her truth, "as for Egypt, I feel so much closer to my roots since I've started wearing my hair curly in ways that I can only begin to describe."
Representation and acceptance of culture through different hair types, especially in the Middle East, is not only important to accept but to embrace. Hair does matter to a person; it is not only a depiction of identity, but it is a symbol of pride.

I am scientist by training, inclination and temperament. However, this is a blog, not a lab. The title reflects my passion for hyperbole, so don't take me too seriously. I don't. I was a technician in a physiology lab, got my PhD in molecular genetics and neuroscience, was a postdoctoral fellow in biophysics and now am a Project Manager in a Clinical Science/Biomedical Informatics institute. I am a scientific jack-of-all-trades, and very happy because of it. I write about science that catches my eye, making the transition away from the lab bench, and the slightly odd and moist boundary where science culture meets the public. I am an Englishman by birth, an American by temperament and if I were you I wouldn't lend me money.

I love my salon. Oh yes, dear Reader, I go to a salon. My stylist, Barbara, is a wonder and always takes her time, and I do not begrudge her the extra dollars she charges for the cut. I've changed hairstyles recently and today was my first cut with the new style already settled in place. Before the cut even began we had a chat about styling, and goals and length. Then she washed my hair (with scalp massage), then used mint oils to condition my hair. All par for the course at this wonderful and eclectic boutique. Barbara hasn't been my stylist for the whole five years I've lived in Memphis, in fact our friendship is fairly recent. However, when I find a stylist I like and trust I am loyal to them.
One reason I love this place is the atmosphere. Of the stylist population, I estimate that 30% are male, the rest female. 100% are tattooed and styled and gorgeous. Of the 30% male stylists, rarely does one find a straight man. It would be an unfair and possibly discriminatory generalization to thus suggest all male stylists are gay, but these are the demographics of this salon.
This preamble is going somewhere, fear not.
I arrived at the salon earlier than my appointed time and so availed myself of the literature provided for the clientele to peruse. Elvis magazines, Sivad Fan Fanzines (Fangzines?) and so on. While I sat there a beautiful and strangely familiar woman walked out from the back room. Clearly she was one of the staff, but I hadn't seen her before. She was quite tall and had a physical confidence that commanded attention. Her hair was rich, auburn and cascaded around her face, down to her (clearly) full cleavage. Her shoulders were bare revealing red ink tattoos on her shoulders. Her designer jeans clung to her feminine figure. (Call me old school (a stereotypeoclast?), but I prefer women with a more "traditional" female figure. I am not physically attracted to women that can be mistaken for teenage boys from behind. In fact I often wonder about the underlying psychology of the men that are attracted to such phenotypes.)
I digress.
She, the Striking Woman, caught my eye and smiled, coyly I hoped, then turned away and returned to the back room. She was so familiar, but I couldn't think where from. Surely I would remember seeing her before? "It must have been somewhere around town. Her hair can't always be so perfectly coiffured. It must be that." I thought.
My stylist finished her pre-cut clean-up duties and called me into the main salon. We went through the pre-cut process I describe above and as she began to trim, and hone, and thin and sculpt, the Striking Woman came back in from the rear room. She sat in an empty chair at a vacant station, "So she does work here then," thought I.
Barbara and I talked, and to my surprise the Striking Woman moved over into the vacant chair next to us. Now this will sound arrogant, but it isn't. I'm not surprised when things like this happen, not because I expect to be hit on, but because I have a thick English accent and sometimes people are just curious.
Barbara paused in her cut as I turned to look, "I know you," purred the Striking Woman. And I mean purred. A perfect alto, but with a richness and depth that was perhaps not surprising given her physical appearance.
I was genuinely intrigued, "Where from, because you look so familiar to me, but I can't remember where I met you."
"I used to cut your hair," She smiled. "When you first moved here."
"But, I've always been coming here and I don't remember meeting you before." I was honestly embarrassed that she remembered me, while I was drawing a blank. She laughed, holding her hand in front of her mouth, "I knew you wouldn't recognize me. It's been four years since I left. I used to be David!"
There is an English expression I can use here "You could have knocked me down with a feather".
I think I rallied well, because I knew I was blushing furiously, and I'll be damned if I get beaten at a game as much fun as this. I tried not to gush, "Well you look wonderful!"
"I wasn't sure if it was you, you look older, but then I heard you speak, and I recognized your voice. I thought about hitting on you, but that would have been cruel." And once more, that smile.
That, Dear Reader, is a true and honest account of the events of the last hour. I don't know her name now; she smiled again and went to the back once more. I don't know if she is transgender or transsexual. Her breasts were...ah...real, her voice was pitched and there was a femininity to her that one assumes comes from hormonal changes.
But the only thing that mattered was that she was clearly happy.
This week, on the back of National Coming Out Day, as we read more reports of young people, children killing themselves because they are so unhappy, as Iowans get ready to overturn their brand new same-sex marriage laws, as religious conservatives decry so-called government invasion of their privacy all whilst trying to enforce their twisted moral codes upon other citizens…this week, this was a wonderful reminder of the beauty and freedom that comes with being allowed to Be Yourself.
Biology is complex. The Universe is complex. Trust it to be more complex than you can ever understand and revel in the freedom that grants you.
After endless nothing you get one brief shot at something before returning to endless nothing. Allow others the same shot and the same, brief chance at happiness.

Excellent post!!! Hooray for Tiddles!
Ha ha, what a brilliant post! Tideliar you certainly spin a good yarn, I had absolutely no idea that's where that story was headed! I was cringing when you said that she used to cut your hair, I thought this was going to be some embarrassing story about how you're terrible at recognising faces or something and lead into a post about facial recognition neuroscience or something. You kept me guessing!
Great way to end the story. Life is short, people should just get on with their own lives rather than worry about everyone else's, live and let live, indeed an excellent philosophy to live by!
On another note, I too love the salon, my salon back in England used to provide you with free beer and wine and those massage chairs as well as a nice head massage. They don't seem to do that so much over here and I miss it. But I do have a nice stylist who is insistent that I take her back to England with me if I go home, I think she is hoping to marry Prince William or something!
Cheers :)
I'd been thinking about a blog post along these lines and then meeting OnceWasDavid tonight gave me perspective. She was so...different, relaxed and happy :)
"my salon back in England used to provide you with free beer and wine and those massage chairs as well as a nice head massage"
WHERE! I need the address! Actually, fuck that, I need the GPS coordinates!
Ha ha, most salons I used to go to offered a free drink. I mostly used to go to Tony and Guy in Liverpool. Some of the salons up in London have a cocktail bar you can wait at before your appointment. A friend of mine recently ended up with a lock in at the hair salon! I guess it's the new local for poncy Londoners!
Um, excuse me Janede, Poncy Londoners?
am not a ponce have only become poncy since moving to the US and finding wonderous sytlists. And glamour. And product. Oooohhh...product....
Hey, I'm not dissing poncy Londoners, I could definitely get on board with cocktail bars in hair salons!!
Just checking. You...you...Yorkshirewoman you!
Actually I'm a southerner masquerading as a northerner, originally from just outside London myself (home counties, dahling, biggest ponce of the lot!). I migrated up north for university and stayed there, weather's better down south though! Hell, it's way better over here, why d'you think I moved here?!
Ha! Nice post!
ooooo...fancy hot pants? Pixplzthanx....
Really, though- nicely done.
Very, very nice post, T. (Can't seem to get over associating your nom de blog with tldr; - hehe!!)
"After endless nothing you get one brief shot at something before returning to endless nothing. Allow others the same shot and the same, brief chance at happiness."
What do they say? Yes, QFT.
Beautiful sentiment, expressed beautifully.
@Jadede (have to useit now, sorry), Home Counties? Good Lord! Why didn't you say so! Good show! Bloody good show! Herts m'self, can't be helped, but God created a green and pleasant land and apparently just for us. Eh!
@DrB: Gosh, thanks :D
@Namnezia: Cheers mate
@Brian: Jealous? :*
@DrZeek: could be arranged... LOL, cheers
@Kausik: Glad you made it over here brother! I miss y'all from the Other Other Place. And thank you, seriously. But...tl;dr? Moi? LOL
Your salons in Memphis don't have bars? Huh...there's quite a few in SF. I like having a cocktail while discussing what I want done.
I know someone trying to open one in Sac, but they're having a hard time with the permits. And a friend's place in Napa, they'll run across the street to a Michelin Starred place with a nifty bar for customers.
Great post and I couldn't agree more with the overall message. I have a few friends who do not conform to gender norms and watching their struggle has had a significant impact on my life. It takes a brave person to accept who they are, no matter what your station in life, but doing so at the risk of losing your family and friends while gaining the possibility of being mocked on a regular basis, takes more courage than most people possess.
Admittedly, I would have felt uncomfortable in this situation. Not b/c of the transgender or transexual issue, but because they were my former stylist. Whenever I decide I need a new stylist, I always go to a totally different salon and hope I never see the old stylist again. I want them to think I just moved away or something. Of course, I'm sure that I put way more thought into it than they do.
Simply fabulous, T!! Although I wasn't sure if I was reading the beginnings of a lurid romance novel for the first few paragraphs...
My salon provides me with a free glass of wine (or two) when I get my highlights done. They also have a wonderful massage chair that I get to relax in while waiting for my hair to "cook". I figure, if I'm spending that much on my hair, they better treat me like a princess. :)
@JSD: There'a an option! Nick the booze from another place!
@MXX: I tried changing salons before and it got to be a chore Now I give them 6 months and if I'm not happy I just book a new stylist. I guess I'm just turning into more of a git as I age >:)
@DrO: "I wasn't sure if I was reading the beginnings of a lurid romance novel for the first few paragraphs..."
...well...who knows!
I'm pretty sure there's not much about Tideliar's daily existence that isn't comparable to a lurid romance novel.
Ah, ma cherie, too true. Tis a hard life...
Hmmmm....still no pic of the hot pants but love what the stylist has done.
LOL, thats from this summer. It still returns there upon demand, but now a bit more work appropriate during the day
I love this post. If I knew you in person, I'd give you a big kiss.
And knowing me in person, I'd probably try and kiss you back >:)
(but seriously, thanks)
Love this post. Love English accents as well... :)
Why thank you! It's comments like yours that keep me writing, even when they're personal posts

Still, the reports lacked the context of the comments from intelligence officer, Donald Kerr, deputy director of the national intelligence office. And after some searching, I did find the full text of Kerr's comments, which were made Oct 23rd at the 2007 GEOINT Symposium, sponsored by the Geospacial Intelligence Foundation.
You can read the full text of his comments here, and they are worth the time to read.
He makes several factual points about how technology has eliminated much anonymity for people today, citing trendy villains like MySpace and Facebook, or the shock of Googling your own name. Bank, cell phone, credit card records too, he says, provide vast amounts of personal info.
And truly, most folks also use 'discount cards' at the grocery store, membership cards at other retail outlets as part of a dedicated effort by business for many years to create databases to define you through your spending habits. And we have all received those tri-folded pamphlets from our banks and other agencies labeled Privacy Policy printed in letters so small an ant couldn't read it without a magnifying glass, and which usually provide the details of policies which seem intent on sharing personal info, not protecting it.
Kerr also cites continuing problems within government agencies which do not share info with each other, despite clear signs such changes are beneficial.
But what garnered press reports were comments made in his opening statement, such as:
"We really need to realize what a loaded word security really is.
When I'm at work, and throughout my day, security is safety, as a barrier against physical or emotional harm. When I go home at night,
security is privacy, as an expectation of freedom from unnecessary burdens. In the intelligence community, we have an obligation to protect both safety and privacy, and over the course of GEOINT 2007, as we talk about the hows of new technologies and tradecraft, I'd like to take a step back right now and talk about the whys.
Safety and privacy – it's common thinking that, in order to have more safety, you get less privacy. I don't agree with that. I work from the assumption that you need to have both. When we try to make it an either/or proposition, we're bound to fail. You can be perfectly safe in a prison; but you certainly aren't free. And you can be perfectly free in an anarchist society; but you certainly aren't safe."
"Our job now is to engage in a productive debate, which focuses on privacy as a component of appropriate levels of security and public safety. This is work that the Office of the DNI has started to do, and must continue and make a high priority. This careful balance we need to strike, however, is nothing new. With the advent of telephones, we entered a new frontier that required careful balancing between safety and privacy. We faced this challenge again at the end of the '70s in the aftermath of the Church-Pike Hearings. And now, in the era of new technologies, we have to work to continue to keep that balance, to earn that trust, and re-earn it every day through our actions. But we also have to be willing to reopen the laws and regulations that were based on technologies that existed 1978 and adjust them to the realities of 2007 and 2008."
It is certainly a complex issue here, and Kerr makes good points. But Kerr's failing, and that of many others, is to assume we no longer have privacy rights. Abdicating them is in fact vital to insuring acceptance that we have less and less privacy. Abdicating them in hopes of obtaining some magical national personal safety and security is likewise foolish.
A clear problem, however, is visible today as citizens casually accept the idea that government and corporations require more rights of privacy than individuals. It's become rather accepted that officials in government, locally and nationally, have the right to withhold information of all types in order to have "open discussion and debate of policy".
I noticed a report today on TennViews about a military contractor in Tennessee who is part of an investigation of trading sex for government contracts in Iraq. Most telling in the press reports of this story is how the military and government claimed the right to privacy:
"The Air Force, through Capt. Ashley Norris of Hill AFB in Utah, said that because of privacy rules, it couldn't say when a service member had received a nonjudicial punishment, which can include a reprimand, house arrest, confinement to a military base, or a dock in pay.
The Justice Department said it would not discuss why it did not prosecute Remington."

The Cautious Maiden is the first book I've read by author Dawn Crandall, and it will certainly not be my last. I loved this tender, romantic story. This is inspirational historical romance at its *sigh* finest.
A little more about Dawn
A graduate of Taylor University with a degree in Christian Education, and a former bookseller at Barnes & Noble, Dawn Crandall didn't begin writing until 2010, when her husband found out about her long-buried dream of writing a book. Without a doubt about someday becoming traditionally published, he encouraged her to quit working in order to focus on writing The Hesitant Heiress. It didn't take her long to realize that writing books was what she was made to do. Dawn is represented by Joyce Hart of Hartline Literary.
Apart from writing books, Dawn is mom to two precious little boys. She also serves with her husband in a pre-marriage mentor program at their local church in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Dawn is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers, secretary for the Indiana ACFW Chapter (Hoosier Ink), and associate member of the Great Lakes ACFW Chapter.
The Everstone Chronicles is Dawn's first series with Whitaker House. All three books composing the series were semi-finalists in ACFW's prestigious Genesis Contest, the third book going on to become a finalist in 2013.
About the book
Violet Hawthorne is beyond mortified when her brother Ezra turns their deceased parents' New England country inn into a brothel to accommodate the nearby lumberjacks, but when Violet's own reputation is compromised, the inn becomes the least of her worries. In an effort to salvage her good name, Violet is forced into an engagement with a taciturn acquaintance, Vance Everstone.
As she prepares for a society wedding, Violet learns that her brother had staked her hand in marriage in a heated poker game with the unsavory Rowen Steele, and Ezra had lost. Now Rowen is determined to cash in on his IOU.
With danger stalking her and a new fiancé who hides both his emotion and his past, Violet must decide who to trust, and who to leave behind.
My Review
The story opens with a surprising and perfectly sweet scene between hero and heroine. Hero Vance, a reformed rake whose actions must speak louder than his words to win over careful, tender-hearted Violet, is both swoon-worthy and realistic.
A glowing mix of tender romance and mysterious intrigue, The Cautious Maiden swept me away immediately with skilled first person point of view and plenty of unique story twists and turns. Lovely, shy Violet and reformed rake Vance have a sweet chemistry that intensified with each page.
The Cautious Maiden is a true gem of a story, reminding readers that grace and forgiveness go hand in hand, and loving someone requires a step of faith. I loved how the characters' faith was woven so thoroughly into each scene, without bogging down the story.
Bravo Dawn, for a thrilling and touching story I thoroughly enjoyed. Now to get the first three in this series!
In honor of the release of The Cautious Maiden, Dawn is offering a print copy of the story to one commenter! Please leave a comment with your name, let us know if you've read any of Dawn's stories, and leave your email so I can contact you if your name is drawn.
The drawing begins Saturday, October 15th and ends Saturday, October 22. Please, for continental U.S. residents only. Thank you!

A few days ago Microsoft announced a new public preview feature for Azure Storage called Static website. It enables you to host a static web app using Azure Storage which is multiple times cheaper then a traditional required Web App. Reason enough to give it a try.
Create a Storage account
To use the Static website feature we need a general purpose V2 Storage Account. You can either manually create the resource within the Azure Portal or by using the following ARM Template:
Enable Static website feature
Unfortunately we can't enable the Static website feature using an ARM Template (thanks to Gaurav Mantri) because it is not part of the Storage Resource Provider API. So we have to manually enable it after we've provisioned the Storage Account.
We can do that within our previous created Storage Account: Select Static website (preview) to configure a container for static website hosting:
Since our example applicaton will have an index.html, we can leave the index document name field as it is.
Note: If you have to automate this process, it is still possible to enable this feature using the Azure Storage Services REST API.
After we save our changes we get the primary endpoint URL of our site:
Create an Angular Single Page Application
We use the Angular CLI to scaffold an Angular sample applicaton that already has routing enabled. The name of our app will be spastore:
ng new spastore --routing
We also create a new component named subcomponent to demonstrate the routing capability:
ng g component subcomponent
And configure the routing module accordingly:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router'; import { SubcomponentComponent } from './subcomponent/subcomponent.component'; const routes: Routes = [ { path: 'subcomponent', component: SubcomponentComponent }, ]; @NgModule({ imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes, { useHash: true })], exports: [RouterModule] }) export class AppRoutingModule { }
Note that we use the HashLocationStrategy oppsed to the default PathLocationStrategy because the later will result in 404 errors. This is because we can't define a rewrite URL for our static website and Azure will try to resolve the specified resource – e. g.:
The HashLocationStrategy represents its state in the hash fragment of the browser's URL. So this will be the new route for our subcomponent:
Finally we add the router outlet to the app.component.html which displays our component and add a router link:
Now it's time to compile the application and get a production build. Once again we use the Angular CLI:
ng build --prod
The build artefacts are stored within the dist folder and are ready to publish. We can do that by clicking on the $web link within the Static website (preview) blade. Then we have to click on the Upload button and select all files within the artefact (dist) folder:
If we browse to the URL we can see our Angular App up and running and also the routing is working as expected:
You can test the site here: https://spastore.z6.web.core.windows.net
The source code including the ARM Template and the Angular sample application can be found in my GitHub repository.
You can actualy use the PathLocationStrategy by setting the error page to index.html (thanks to @nthonyChu). The first try to serve a URL like https://spastore.z6.web.core.windows.net/subcomponent will fail since it is not a valid resource. Then the path will get passed to the error page which is our index.html (page returns content with 404 status code). However, this is hack. I still recommend using the HashLocationStrategy until a rewrite mechanism is in place.

We Protect Your Rights
Product liability involves holding a manufacturer responsible for the quality of their products. All too often, a manufacturer will put money ahead of safety, putting consumers at risk for injury or even worse, death.
Companies that can be sued in a product liability case include the manufacturer of the defective product, the wholesaler or distributor of the product as well as the retailer of the defective product. There are three types of product liability cases:
- A design defect ( the product is manufactured was intended but was inherently unsafe)
- A manufacturing defect (the design of the product was adequate, but the product was not made correctly)
- A failure to warn or instruct ( the instructions for and the warnings about the use of the product were inadequate)
In practical terms this means that the manufacturer has a duty to design out dangers inherent in the product. If the dangers cannot be designed out, the manufacturer has to guard against such hazards. If the danger cannot be designed out or guarded against, the manufacturer must warn and instruct users of the dangers inherent in the product.
In any of these situations, if you have been injured or had a loved one killed by a defective product, you have the right to seek compensation for your injuries from the company that manufactured it.
Products that have been known to be defective and have caused injury because of it are:
- Motor vehicles, including cars, trucks and ATVs
- Tires
- Medical devices
- Consumer and household products
- Industrial equipment
- Farming equipment
- After-market vehicle parts
- Child Safety Seats
Unfortunately, the general public usually does not know that they are driving a defective car or using a defective product until it malfunctions and either causes an accident or does not protect them in an accident, resulting in a catastrophic injury or death. Product liability lawsuits are difficult. They take a special knowledge of the product, the ability to hire experts to defend your claim and the resources to prosecute your lawsuit. At our firm emphasizes the legal ramifications of automobile crashworthiness. We have had claims against most of the major car and truck manufacturers over defects in their products. Corporations we have gone up against include General Motors, Ford, Toyota, Chrysler, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, Kia, Hyundai, Freightliner and Mitsubishi.

Your offer can actually have a huge impact on whether or not you make sales. If the cost is too high for your market…they're gone. If it's too low…you might be attracting people who aren't willing to spend more.
Getting your offer "just right" is one of the most important pieces of marketing. It's something to test and tweak. But watch this short video to understand where to start…
By the way, if you're watching this episode now, you can download your copy HERE for free as long as this podcast is up.
Next episode we'll discuss the next section of the checklist. Ciao for now!

AMID the trauma he has endured in the past three weeks, Essendon president David Evans has learnt plenty. In revealing a costly and detailed review of his club he admitted he has questioned himself and his own performance at the club he vowed to rebuild.
And although he has learnt some terrible things about what took place at his football club last year, Evans is holding fast to one relationship he sees as crucial to the Bombers' future: his bond with James Hird.
One year ago the Bombers' leader admitted there were risks attached to chairing a football club when one of your closest mates is the coach, but he could not have foreseen this.
On Wednesday, in announcing Dr Ziggy Switkowski's review of his club, Evans said his relationship with Hird had not been challenged in the recent nightmare. If anything, he insisted, they had worked more closely in navigating the revelations that Essendon had become dysfunctional and was being investigated for using performance-enhancing drugs.
''I feel strong,'' he said, ''I feel there's a way through this. I feel we will be a better and stronger club for the experience even though what we uncover might be some things that are not good for football.''
And since that extraordinary press conference in early February Evans has become aware of two key factors since he announced Essendon had reported itself to ASADA and the AFL. One is that the anti-doping agency will take several months to investigate the club – months in which Evans could be taking decisive action regarding his club's administrative practices and personnel. Clearly there has to be change and change cannot wait.
The other he would not detail yesterday but related to some disturbing practices that have taken place without his knowledge. Nor, and this is damning for chief executive Ian Robson, was the administration aware of these practices.
At least three 2012 Essendon players have confirmed to football officials that they were injected in the stomach by Stephen Dank twice a week over a three-month period last season. Those players also named two senior coaches who participated in this supplements program. Dank has alleged those coaches' supplements were ''a little bit outside'' the WADA code.
Evans says he has not questioned his coaches because he does not want to compromise the investigation. But it is that allegation that has proved a festering sore inside the club.
At least two coaches at the club are not happy with being smeared by the innuendo. Only Mark Thompson has publicly denied his involvement.
Former Essendon captain Matthew Lloyd two weeks ago on Channel Nine called on any coaches who did receive such injections – legal or not – to come forward to ease the tension, but the AFL and the Coaches' Association won't go anywhere near the topic.
Thompson has been in denial on several fronts, far less convincingly on Fox Footy on Monday night when he tried again to play down his authority at Essendon over the past two years. The fact is that for all his coaching brilliance so crucial for the untried Hird, Thompson has had far too big a say in off-field issues and his failure to follow administrative practices in his zeal to improve and fast-track the Bombers' fortunes was one reason Paul Hamilton's position as football boss became untenable.
Thompson was not the only culprit, but there's no doubt the football department became increasingly cavalier. And there seems little doubt that Thompson pushed for the appointment of Dean Robinson and, by extension, Dank, both of whom were given an irresponsibly long leash. Inexcusable when you consider the players and careers at risk.
Thompson therefore is unlikely to survive and will probably fall on his sword before the year's end.
Robson, though, must emerge as the most likely scalp. Evans insists this review is not about individuals, rather processes, but given the president admitted his lack of comfort with some ''irregular practices and processes'' and has been prepared to go to such lengths to uncover ''what failed us'' surely the buck must stop with the chief executive. For all his expertise in sponsorship and government relations, Robson clearly had no idea of what was taking place in the club's core business – football.
This is a far cry from the Peter Jackson era. This disaster would not have taken place on his watch. Those players who emerged from last year's Windy Hill laboratory could have done with a control freak like him.
Evans will survive because the AFL is backing him and he seems to have done everything right since his US sabbatical. James Hird, who is shocked and chastened by people he trusted and how he allowed this to happen, appears likely to survive. But Evans should be asking himself whether such a close friendship between coach and president was healthy for Essendon.

I've been calling these pink plastic sunglasses that I bought on Monday my creepy dude specs, because they look like something a weird guy would have worn in the 70s. The truth, however, is that they are my Shampoo glasses. Just like my plastic mac is my Shampoo mac, my leather mini skirt is my Shampoo skirt, and my hologram creepery-stompy boots are, in fact, my Shampoo boots.
If you want big pink plastic sunglasses so you can pretend you're in the best girl group of the 90s, they're from Topshop and you can get them here.
Word of warning. Unlike other sunglasses, you can't glare at everyone in the tube and roll your eyes at people in secret because everyone can see through 'em. Apparently.

On the Behavior of Farm Chickens
Watching chickens on a New Zealand farm can be very entertaining because the birds have very complicated social interactions and exhibit a number of interesting behaviors. Like most domesticated animals, chickens prefer to be in a flock, which is how a group of chickens is called.
Knowing a bit about chicken behavior can be very beneficial to everyone who keeps chickens on their farm because you'll be able to tell by their behavior if your birds are having any issues.
Chickens are vocal birds. They communicate frequently by using sounds. When they are not asleep, they very rarely stay quiet for prolonged periods of time.
When it comes to food, chickens will eat almost anything because their taste buds are not very developed. Chicken don't even notice the tastes that humans consider disgusting. This is a potential issue because chickens will eat things like chemical fertilizers, Styrofoam and anything else that to them looks like food.
For this reason, you want to make sure your chickens don't get to pesticide-coated items that you may be growing on your New Zealand farm and things like plastic, Styrofoam beads, and other potentially dangerous items.
Chickens do not experience light sleep. When they sleep, they really do sleep. Total darkness makes them go into levels of sleep in which they are almost unconscious. In this state, they are very easy marks for predators because they won't be able to defend themselves or escape. If you need to catch or inspect one of your farm's chickens, go into a dark coop with a flashlight and you will have no problems grabbing the bird.
Being very vulnerable during sleep is the reason why chickens prefer to sleep as high off the ground as possible. They like to sleep in the same location every night, so once they get used to their coop, they will be coming back even if you allow them to roam freely during the day.

In the middle of a Indian village, Coldplay leadsinger Chris Martin is partying it up while getting spray painted during Holi festivities. Beyoncé doesn't appear to be in the same setting as the band, but is very often showcased on television screens and even as a Bollywood actress in a cinema.
Coldplay is set to headline the Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show on February 7th, and it's been confirmed that Beyoncé will be joining them for a guest performance. Guess this video might be a preview on the spectacular show halftime show..? One more week left.. In the meanwhile we'll just have to gag on Beyoncé's bad ass beauty looks in this videoclip. *Googling for floral headpiece*
Scroll down to watch the video!

Anna Kendrick and James Corden staged a glorious speed-singing stunt on last night's The Late Late Show. They did a nonstop marathon of covers depicting an entire relationship in four minutes, from first meeting (Chris De Burgh's "Lady in Red") to infatuation (The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face") to marriage (Bruno Mars' "Marry You") to cheating (an excellent duet of Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me"), to breakup (Adele's "Someone Like You") and finally, to glorious reunion (Céline Dion's "I Will Always Love You"). Whee!
The drama!
The entire thing is wow:
