If you follow ebook news, you might have heard of a site called GoodEreader.com. At first glance it looks like a news site. It has a blog, podcast, and a monthly magazine, and they even opened an ereader store last week. But all of that is all a facade that they are using to hide their true activities.
GoodEreader.com is a pirate ebook website that's been operating for a couple years now. It has been quietly known in ebook circles that they actively pirate ebooks, but no one wanted to do anything about it. We've all just been ignoring the matter, and it's time that changed.
Here's how they run their operation. They sell subscription access to a closed set of forums (that's where you download the ebooks). You can buy a subscription by the day, month, year, or lifetime. I bought a monthly subscription ($12), which was a waste. It took me less than 2 minutes before I found pirated ebooks.
Name an author or series and you'll find the ebooks. John Grisham? Yep, including cover images obviously ripped from Amazon. Harry Potter? That was easy. Ooh, here's a bundle of 23 ebooks by Ian Rankin.
And it's not like this is an accident or oversight on the part of the website's staff. I checked, and most of these ebooks are uploaded _by_ the staff. They are willfully pirating ebooks. You can even ask them to pirate an ebook for you (it comes with the more expensive subscription levels). In fact, there's a forum dedicated to the requests.
I bet you're wondering how have they been getting away with this scheme for as long as they have. That's probably because they've been very careful to maintain the facade. They add posts to their blog on a fairly regular basis. It's almost never new news, though, because that might get someone's attention. No, what they usually do is rewrite someone else's story from the day before. And as a second step to support the facade, they never give credit. I'm pretty sure that was deliberate; if they linked to another news blog then that source might look them over and realize they were committing piracy.

We have met Daniela De Blasio, the National Equality Adviser of the Province of Reggio Calabria. With a prestigious career as a manager behind her, she has also been the Headmaster of Conservatory Francesco Cilea since 2014.
As a woman and a manager, could you give some advice to Calabrian women who dream of starting out on their ideal careers?
I do not feel like I have reached my ultimate goals yet, in fact I still consider my professional life as work in progress. Our city might look like an arid rough terrain, full as it is of obstacles and difficulties, but it also is fertile ground, as many of its corners are yet to be explored. I have always liked getting good things out of malfunctioning and imperfections, in public administration as well as private business. It is thanks to our seemingly bleak context that we can turn out innovation.
Could you provide an example?
The first thing that comes into my mind is a jazz concert I organized by the Greek Walls on Lungomare Falcomatà, the seaside promenade. It was an occasion to promote an archaeological site that is representative of our city, as well as to show how many talents are being bred at the Conservatory. It would have been nothing special in Rome, but the fact that it took place here made all the difference.
There are so many aspects of the reality around us that should be promoted and enhanced! I would like to create a space for musicians, where they can hold matinees to express themselves and let their qualities be appreciated by their fellow citizens. It would be a great chance to attract people's interest in music. After all, many of our teachers at the conservatory are frequent collaborators of well-known artists.
To sum it up, your message to Calabrian women is that they should keep exploring and aways move forward?
It takes a natural inclination to be a manager. I deem it important to never stop looking forward and finding the strength in me to get up when I am down. The right attitude is also important: I like learning from others and having people around me who have something to teach me. I feel to be invested with a social responsibility now: to do something for the people and community around me.
Being a manager can be really demanding!
It certainly isn't easy, especially for women. Whatever the level you have reached, there will always be situations when you will smell the prejudices that come with gender stereotypes around you.
You have been recently asked to be in the Provincial Committee for the management of goods confiscated to organized crime. You also have been appointed in-house president of the Region, Portanova Spa. They are two important challenges.
I like challenges:only by facing them can we hope to change things around us. This is how I set about my own tasks. If I accept to run a company, my ultimate goal is to bring something good into the cause, bring about a few changes. In the case of Portanova Spa., I would like to enhance its cultural dimension. I also am a saver, because whatever is saved can be reemployed for the community. Which is what I have been trying to do at the Conservatory. There were many people who could not understand why a manager had been appointed conservatory headmaster. They did not know it was a law requirement, because management skills and a financial background are needed to rise to the challenge. I have tried to bring some innovation into it. When I was serving as a Special Commissioner for Azienda Calabria Lavoro, the regional Department of labour, I tried to draw inspiration from the principles of "smart saving". Thanks to them, I was able to raise 30 scholarships for minors at risk.
What are your projects for the conservatory?
Presenting its resources to the public eye is of utmost importance to me. We have seen too many talents emigrate because they couldn't see any opportunity for success here. Yet, it is a highly-qualified school. When I took up my office there, I introduced the scholarships I was telling you about. Many young and gifted people cannot afford to buy a musical instrument or pay for their education. Many of them do not even come close to the school, as they know beforehand that tuition is too high for them. So what I try to do is help them let their talents show by providing them with more opportunities. This is the course of action I have chosen, a combination of lawfulness and rational use of public funds. It also involves taking on risks and responsibilities, as my office is voluntary, and I am liable to answer to the law about any mistakes I might possibly make.
What is the secret to taking concrete action in this city?
I like looking at things from a network perspective when I am working. For what concerns the conservatory projects, I work in unison with the City Council. For example, their collaboration was crucial through the organization of the concert by the Greek walls. We are presently working with the Council for Culture and Lawfulness of the Province of Reggio Calabria to set up an important initiative: the music event "Ottobre in Musica 2015", a cycle of six concerts which will be held by the conservatory students at the city council building.
The network perspective is vital, and so is respect for the institutions. Politics are not about pursuing our own interests.
From National Equality Adviser to Conservatory Headmaster to member of the Committee for the management of confiscated goods. Versatility is your strong suit!
I am happy to carry out many tasks, as they are means to action. A recent initiative in collaboration with Civitas has just come into my mind. The students from the F. Cilea Conservatory sang the national anthem with a group of deaf-mute kids. It was a significant moment, which made us realize how strong music is as a cohesive factor. Another highly symbolic experience is the cooperative Sole Insieme: 20 poor women are setting up a dressmaker's shop thanks to help from the Committee for the management of confiscated goods. We are organizing a soccer game to promote the initiative, in collaboration with the hair stylists of Compagnia della Bellezza. Miss Italia 2015 will be the patroness of the event. She will be wearing a dress from the dressmaker's workshop, and all the money the event will raise will go to anti-violence associations.
I am also working on a project with the district penitentiary of Reggio Calabria, for the reproduction of mosaics from the Roman Villa of Casignana with tiles found on the shoreline. I would like them to be put on display on permanent exhibitions at the Museums of Locri and Reggio Calabria. It might be an incentive for tourists to go and visit the Roman Villa and the archaeological site where it is located. We might even arrange a free transfer service from Reggio to the Villa.
I have also been asked to calaborate for the organization of a film festival. All I can say is: I won't let up!
Daniela De Blasio is a volcano of ideas and initiatives. Her original interview was even longer, we simply had to adapt it to the web format. During our meeting, she also talked about her European experience of a Leonardo and a Comenius project, as well as her activity as a volunteer for the benefit of children at risk.
"I try to be versatile. The only sad thing about it are the times when you don't succeed in helping them!" After portraying Daniela as a manager, we found this phrase was apt to give readers a notion of her humanity.

The best view of the red carpet, I realized, was from above.
Browsing the bleachers a full hour before even the press arrived for The Rome Film Festival's world premiere restoration of La Dolce Vita, I decided, finally, on a front row seat next to a shrunken woman of about seventy. Surrounded by blankets and snacks and cigarettes, she looked like she had been waiting all day. "No Scorsese?" she asked as I sat down beside her. (Scorsese was scheduled to introduce the film.) I told her it was still early. He'd be here. Disgusted, she threw up her hands. "No Scorsese, no cinema!" I'm not quite sure I agree, but it's hard to disagree.
Fifty years after La Dolce Vita's original release, the film has been restored from its original widescreen negative for the clean up of a lifetime. The premiere, which was itself a thing out of Fellini – from Nino Rota on the loudspeakers to the paparazzi on the floor – saw an avalanche of beautiful stars that all looked liked twins, save for one. Early in the parade, before things got too frenzied, a black car stopped as close to the carpet as it possibly could, a policeman flew to the door, opened it (slowly), reached in, and out came a cane, a foot, and then the rest of Anita Ekberg. The place went nuts.
As the new stars began to appear, with their smiles and waves and tastefully torn clothing, the mighty Ekberg limped wryly toward the press line, accentuating every labored step with a grande sigh. She had a lot of carpet to walk, and watching her fight it, prodding it with her cane and laughing all the while was a thrill even the most immaculately restored La Dolce Vita would not likely upstage. Moreover, Ekberg was the only woman on the red carpet with a purse slung over her shoulder, as if she had just came from lunch. How could you not love that?
I moved inside the theater to watch the rest of the arrivals on the big screen, in close up. There I rediscovered Ekberg's entire face. Tickled, I found her jack-o-lantern smile, enormous eyes, and high-pointed eyebrows told of a darker, wittier person than I remembered from the movies. But I have a good defense: after the Trevi Fountain scene, all you can do is remember the Trevi Fountain scene.
The camera then drifted away from Anita (what would have Fellini have done with a Steadicam?) to Scorsese, and the entire theater erupted in applause and cheers, and then immediately hushed to hear what he had to say. At that moment someone behind me whispered, "You don't have to be tall to be big." In other words, No Scorsese, no cinema.
Once the little giant entered the building, things started to move quickly. There were a few introductions and some clips before Anita Ekberg was brought out on stage (with purse) to remember the filming, which she did with sardonic glee. I'm not sure, but she may have cackled. In fact, Ekberg got so gleeful she didn't even see the cortege of stagehands that had gathered to signal her time was up. So she went on, gleefully, and as her enthusiasm grew, they moved closer, until finally the cluster was on stage, practically standing beside her. Even then she didn't see them. So deep was her Fellini trance, they had to literally, almost physically, interrupt her sentence to bring her back to the present. It was glorious.
Then Scorsese. Watching La Dolce Vita, he said, is like the dream sequence – Guido freefalling – that opens 8 ½. "You feel like you're flying," he said. "At times it's frightening or even terrifying. But at the same time it's liberating." In other words, no Fellini, no cinema.

Some vintage patterns - I LOVE the adult cape - not sure if I will make it but I had to get it!!
Amelie's find was some ballet slippers (I had to drag a hideous skirt off her that cost $5 and was in terrible condition - but I made her one at home to make up for it!)
We picked up this adorable kids apron...which I may have tried to get away with wearing too!
And lastly I picked up this ladies shirt with an idea of refashioning it into a girls' dress...it was a last minute buy to get the total up to $10 so I could use a card!
I really have to start carrying around some cash!

On a hot and sunny September afternoon in DC, a fraternity at American University hosted a fundraising event to raise awareness around rape culture and contribute support and partnership in the fight against campus sexual assault. Reflecting recent initiatives taken by 7 other fraternities nationwide, Lambda Chi Alpha invited PARC to speak and participate in the day's event which rallied a raucous crowd of fellow fraternity and sorority members to carve, roll, toss, and eventually slip-n-slide in a whole lotta watermelon. All totaled, the day raised $1500 for PARC, and immeasurable fun and community building as we spent the afternoon connecting with young and engaged college students who are taking seriously the call to all of us to fight rape and sexual assault on campus. College campuses are a hotbed of sexual assault, and the more students join together as peers and allies to create cultures of respect and consent the further we come in our efforts to dismantle rape cultures and encourage healthy relationships and lives. A huge thank you to the event coordinators, and to all who came out to participate!
Allies in Our Brothers: The Lambda Chi Alpha chapter at American University reaches out to PARC
Fraternities are often front and center in discussions of campus sexual assault, with countless stories of assaults taking place at hosted parties and often by fraternity members. And it's little wonder; if rape and sexual assault thrive in cultures that silence and shame victims, prize male heterosexual domination and encourage a double standard when it comes to sexual activity, then the frat house makes sense as a locus of high risk for many young college women looking to socialize alongside their peers. While not surprising, this reality stands in stark contrast to the language and the missions of many of these fraternal organizations, formed ostensibly as social clubs meant to enrich and nurture young men to be contributing and meaningful members of their communities, full of leadership and integrity. Thankfully, amongst the milieu of fraternities acting badly and ex-presidents speaking delusionally, there are some voices calling for that leadership and integrity and change from within.
Recent high-profile tragedies have brought Greek life into the same ignominious limelight the NFL is squirming under now, with enough public outcry from concerned and bereft parents, funders, and community members spurring big changes in how fraternities address safety. The Fraternal Health and Safety Initiative was recently launched as a consortium of eight prestigious national fraternities pledging to come together to change the way greek life contributes to sexual assault, binge drinking, and hazing. Just last week 21 fraternities at the University of Indiana released poignant and encouraging statements against sexual assault, and in just a few days, a fraternity at American University will be making a similar, if not messier, statement about how seriously they take campus sexual assault and the particular importance of their leadership and participation as fraternity members.
We at PARC were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly excited to have American University senior Colin Scott reach out to us on behalf of his chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha, to see if we would be interested in being beneficiary's of their annual fund raising event. Lambda Chi Alpha is one of the fraternities to have recently joined the Fraternal Health and Safety Initiative, and Colin Scott and his brothers are walking that talk by organizing a fun event this saturday September 27th at American University designed to raise awareness, encourage responsibility and accountability, and support community efforts to fight campus sexual assault. At a time when the vast majority of news coming out of campus sexual assault is rife with victim-blaming, trauma and hate, it is refreshing and critical to hear stories like this of young men on college campuses talking about responsibility and engaging their peers to join them in creating cultures of respect and consent. Read on for an interview with Colin Scott and his brothers talking about why sexual assault is important to them and what they are doing about it.
PARC: Rape and sexual assault have really come to the fore of national public attention in the past few years, with key populations and institutions being revealed as likely spaces of cultures that harbor frighteningly high rates of sexual violence. Being that the 'campus' is one of these hot spots for sexual assault, and fraternities and their parties especially implicated, we were both surprised and excited to have you as a representative of your fraternity reach out to us for a fundraising event. Can you tell us how and why you decided to approach us as an organization?
Colin: Fraternities as a whole have carried the reputation of being hotbeds for rape culture for years, and frighteningly, it is not simply a stereotype. On campuses across the country, fraternities share the values of respect, duty and integrity, and if they are true to these values, then fraternity houses should be one of the safest places on campus for a woman to go to – but that is not the case. Instead, fraternity houses are one of the most dangerous places for a woman to go to. This is indicative of a systemic flaw in Greek culture, and it needs to be addressed.
It is not our intention to sit here and condemn other Greek organizations of being part of the problem, because up until now, my own organization was content to sit on the sideline and take the "Well, we're not like that" approach. I wanted to redirect the focus of our philanthropy toward this cause, but I wanted to find the right organization before really pushing the idea on the rest of the chapter.
I looked through dozens of organizations both on the national and local level, and finally settled on PARC, because I think that it is working to address the root of the problem. There are many other organizations out there that are doing amazing work for survivors of sexual assault, but I was really drawn by the idea of this education program having a ripple effect, and stopping sexual violence before it ever happens. Once I decided on PARC, I introduced it to the chapter and they were fully onboard with it – they are so excited to put on this event and support an organization that is making a positive impact on the world.
PARC: As college students and members of the Greek system, you are perfectly positioned to observe rape culture on campus, and it's various manifestations. How do you approach this culture and it's discourses? How does Lambda Chi Alpha discuss and approach sexual assault and rape culture?
Colin: As a group, we take our values and teachings very seriously. Respect is one of our seven core values, and we hold each other accountable. Our teachings are not geared specifically toward fighting rape culture, but when we hold education sessions, that is always a topic that is discussed, especially in regards to respect.
PARC: Some key messages around rape and sexual assault involve things like consent, bystander intervention, victim-blaming, and responsibility. How are these messages filtering down to you and your cohort? That is, what is the general interpretation(s) or response to these messages, and do you see areas for improvement?
Colin: Even before the recent events on our campus last semester, I, and the rest of my brothers, took all of these seriously. Before freshmen are eligible to rush, they are given multiple lectures during orientation about sexual assault prevention. I would never expect to hear about any problems from our members when it comes to consent and victim-blaming. Any kind of incident that might occur where it's clear that a brother did not listen to these messages would be grounds for an investigation into the matter and formal punishments laid down from the Executive Committee, with immediate dismissal on the table. All of our brothers know that a breach like that would be a metaphorical middle finger to all of the values we stand for, and we would not associate ourselves with that criminal behavior.
Bystander intervention and responsibility are trickier beasts. Our values and expectations are clear when it comes to consent and victim blaming, but these other two subjects are a bit harder to lecture about and discuss in a focused manner. Much of it can be common sense– keeping a watchful eye on your friends and others when you are out, helping out those who may be unable to help themselves, etc. Those are obvious and I can confidently (and proudly) say that all of our members would do the right thing in a situation where it was clear someone intervening could make a difference. However, I also think that we, myself included, need more help. We still have work to do in a number of areas, whether it's keeping a better lookout, talking about it in the right ways and caring for any survivors.
To help with this, we are arranging for experts and trainers to come in and conduct Safespace training for the chapter. Hopefully, we can learn more about nonoffensive language on the subject (so we aren't unintentionally offending people or sending the wrong messages), how to talk to survivors that may approach us as friends, how to confront offenders or somebody who may be about to commit an assault, etc. All of our members mean well, and hopefully a session like this can give them a chance to learn and ask questions from people who have dealt with these issues for years.
PARC: What do you think are some of the better ways students and especially fraternity members can do to foster communication and cultures of respect to uproot cultures that trivialize, naturalize, and excuse rape?
Colin: We know we are small fish in a big ocean, but that should not be discouraging. On a college campus, we are in a unique situation where we can easily reach out to people on a peer-to-peer level. Events like this are great for raising awareness, but they are ineffective unless people can take away from the event that this is a serious problem that we need to be sensitive about. If you can reach out to your friend group and really imprint on them that this kind of culture is toxic and shameful, then that can be a step in a chain-reaction that marginalizes those who continue to perpetuate this culture.
Ignoring the problem like you would a dog that's acting up isn't going to change anything, but screaming at somebody who might be cracking jokes on the quiet floor of the library won't help the cause either. The people you are best-poised to impact are your friends around you who respect your opinions and care about what you have to say – start with them.

Nerd culture has become mainstream culture. What was once pejoratively thought of as the domain of a few basement-dwelling social outcasts has risen over the past several decades to become a major influence over our society and a huge economic driver. Many of top grossing movies in the past five years have been based on superhero comics, video games are now a $100 billion industry worldwide, and the sales of fantasy literature such as Harry Potter made a billionaire out of author JK Rowling. The public's insatiable appetite for all things nerdy drives this incredible financial growth; as a result of this demand, scores of fan conventions, expos, meetups and other gatherings have sprung up to celebrate every facet of geekdom. However, the darker elements of nerd culture hamper the inclusive potential of these events - ultimately turning away fans and leaving money on the table for artists and organizers.
These sort of conventions serve as massive gathering places for die-hard fans and feature celebrity guest speakers, merchandise booths, and elaborate home made costumes (known as cosplay). These events are huge opportunities for authors, artists, game designers, publishers, and film studios to present their work to a receptive audience. Conventions are also profitable for event organizers and local economies, as thousands of merchandise-seeking fans descend upon cities the world over for a chance to attend. Online event organizer Eventbrite estimated that fan conventions earn about $650 million in ticket sales alone every year. And how much do fans buy when at these conventions? Over 50% of attendees spend $100-$500 and about ⅓ spend over their planned budgets, according to an Eventbrite survey of over 2,500 fan convention ticket purchasers.
You could spend the better part of a lifetime attending all the fan conventions out there, but some of the biggest events include:
The following video from anti-street harassment organization HOLLABACKPhilly, shows just how widespread the problem of harassment is at fan conventions:
The incidents listed above and described in the video are anecdotal and do not represent the behavior of the majority of people at fan conventions, but events like these create an atmosphere of hostility for would-be attendees. If someone thinks they will be harassed or attacked at one of these events just for who they are or what they choose to wear, they won't go. Organizers, working in cooperation with artists, filmmakers, publishers or other content creators, need to ensure that these conventions are safe spaces for all attendees. Geeks for CONsent suggests several methods for creating a welcoming atmosphere, including anti-harassment policies, sensitivity training for convention staff, and stepping in as a bystander if you spot harassment (as long as it is safe to do so). Organizers also need to promptly investigate any report of inappropriate behavior.
Nerd culture is too big to ignore. If we want to welcome everyone to this burgeoning world and increase opportunities for artists and organizers, we need to create an inclusive, safe and accepting atmosphere at conventions!

1 in 5 is a Lie
1 in 5 is a lie.
I think of people in my life who had this happen to them. I think about all the women who've come up to me after teaching a class on relationships or consent. I think about all of the anonymous questions. They all sound the same, "x and x happened, did he rape me?"
I think about me. It just doesn't add up.
1 in 5 is a lie.
It's a lie because society talks us out of what we know deep down is....that thing...that thing we just can't name.
It's a lie because society makes us think, "well I shouldn't have done x thing." Even if you know better. You can't help but wonder what steps you could have changed in your day to avoid that thing. Maybe I should have worn that nail polish. Is it going to tell me if a man is going to treat me with like a human who deserves respect, dignity, and autonomy?
"I should have just given in like all the other times then I wouldn't have to be here. I don't know what I was trying to prove." That's when I realized it was a lie. When I thought to myself, "why didn't i just give in like all the other times..."
It's a lie because people don't know how to be there for you. I know what I need to do. I know what steps to take. I know why it was wrong. I know. Believe me. No one knows this better than me. But what you don't know is that I need to feel like I'm in control of something. Pushing me to do what you think is right is not the way to give me that control.
It's a lie because he talks you out of it.
"Calm down. You know how much trouble you can get me into? You're making it sound like I raped you or something."
"Rapists are monsters! I'm not a monster!"
"I feel you slipping from me. I wanted that connection back."
"You're just making it worse for yourself by calling it rape."
It's a lie because you want to hate him so bad. But you can't. You can't stop wondering where society failed him. Why does he think what happened was anything other than what it was? Where did I fail him as a woman? Where did I fail him as his lover? Where did I fail him as his best friend?
It's a lie because of the police.
"Did you report it? Why not?"
I can think about a million reasons. The most important ones being:
1. No one would believe me.
2. I don't feel like having my life torn apart and ridiculed and judged by men armed with guns, and even worse, misogyny.
It's a lie because we silence people. It's a lie because we refuse to believe that rape culture is real. It's a lie because we refuse to teach men that they are not entitled to women's bodies. It's a lie because we judge. It's a lie because we don't trust women. It's a lie because we don't talk to our friends, sisters, mom, grandma, aunts, cousins, etc, etc, about what consent is and isn't.
It's a lie because you don't make the space for us to tell you the truth.
Back to School!
By Ashley Medley
It's been a mild August (at least here in DC) and fall is practically here! This means the advertisements for Back-To-School supplies will soon come to a close! And pumpkin flavored everything is being stocked on store shelves!
This time of year is a complicated time for students and parents. For incoming college freshmen, there's the thrill and excitement of a new academic year filled with new experiences mixed with (for some people) anxiety about social situations in an environment away from home. The "other Freshmen 15" is the first 15 weeks of college when students face the highest risk for sexual assaults. This is panic-inducing thought for both parents and students. But we can enter this period of time with an energy for awareness-raising and educating ourselves on how we can change such a horrible tradition. This summer, there's been legislative progress and government leaders stepping up with initiatives to combat sexual violence, while some accused contest that these laws violate their rights. Here are a few article and clips on what we've been seeing across the country in the last couple weeks:
'Yes' is Better Than 'No': Michael Kimmel and Gloria Steinem on Consensual Sex on Campus (NY Times)
Bill Aims to Crack Down on Campus Sexual Assault (USA Today)

Cinnamon Rolls
It's the last weekend before the craziness of school starts once again. That means it's back to the juggling act of school, work, research projects and finding some time in there to take a breather. I'm enjoying this last weekend by doing the things that I love most: running, baking and reading. I am able to fit these in during the semester but each is much more enjoyable when I can do them without anxiously thinking about the readings or papers I have for school. Starting with baking, it is no secret that I am constantly baking something for breakfast. During the semester I stick with my quick breads or muffins that I can throw together in less than 20 minutes. I get something delicious without loosing too much time away from my work. However, even I can only eat so many quick breads. When I have a little more time on my hands I take the opportunity to make something that requires a bit more time but is completely worth the extra effort. For this weekend, I have homemade cinnamon rolls! Cinnamon alone can work some magic in your kitchen. Once you put anything with cinnamon in the oven, it takes only a few minutes for the scent to fill your kitchen and it's an instant attraction to anyone in the nearby vicinity. The overall time it takes to put these rolls together is a little under 3 hours BUT a majority of this is rising time and will require no work from you! Take the recipe step by step and you'll find that it isn't as complicated as it first seems, but they will be as delicious as you were hoping!
Here is everything you will need:
(Adapted from Cooking Light. Makes 16-20 cinnamon rolls, depending on how large the rolls are cut.)
- 1 package of dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup warm milk (I used skim but you can use 1% or 2%)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
To start the dough, pour the warm water in a mixing bowl and add the yeast. Let this sit for about 5 minutes to allow the yeast to activate. While this sits, warm your milk in a small saucepan and add this to your yeast and water. Pour in the granulated sugar, butter, vanilla extract, salt, and the egg. Give everything a thorough mix until it is completely combined. The dough will not be completely smooth at this point but that's ok! Add in the first three cups of flour and this will help smooth out the dough. You can then knead the dough by hand for about 8 minutes or you can use an electric mixer if you have one. Either way, have the remaining flour nearby and add a tablespoon at a time to keep the dough from getting too sticky! When kneading is complete, the dough should be slightly tacky. Coat the bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside the bowl to allow it time to rise.
Cover the bowl with a light towel and put the bowl in a warm place. Now it's your turn to take a break from the kitchen and come back in about an hour after the dough has risen and almost doubled in size.
After this first round of rising time, you can prepare the filling. In small bowl, combine the raisins, brown sugar and cinnamon. In a small saucepan (or the microwave if you prefer) melt your butter.
With the filling ready, take the dough and roll it out on a floured surface. You want a large rectangle and the recommended size was a 15 x 10-inch rectangle.
Brush the butter over the rolled out dough and leave a small border (about 1/2-inch). Now sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon and raisin filling so that it covers the whole surface (still leaving the border untouched).
Time to roll everything up! Start with the long side and roll the dough up, in a jelly-roll fashion. Pinch the top to form a seal but leave the ends open.
Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Once chilled, unwrap the roll and cut the dough into 16-20 slices. I have a range because each time I make these the number of rolls I can make varies by a few. I always find it easiest to start by cutting the roll in half, then quarters and then the individual rolls. This just helps me to keep the rolls as uniform in size as I can. It is best to have a baking sheet (or two) coated with cooking spray and ready to transfer the cut rolls on to. The rolls will need to be about 1-inches away from each other. With the rolls arranged on the baking sheets, cover and let them sit in a warm place for another round of rising.
This is another break for you as the rolls rise for about an hour and should once again double in size.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and uncover your rolls. All the rising, filling, rolling and more rising is done! Time for the oven! Bake the rolls for 20 minutes or until they become a golden brown. It's during this time that the cinnamon will travel throughout your home and lure people to the kitchen asking when those rolls will be out and ready to eat!
Transfer the rolls from the baking sheet to wire cooling racks (or to a plate!) and let them cool. Some may look at my rolls and note that an extremely important component is missing: the glaze! Jor and I aren't the biggest fans of glazes or frostings on our morning baked goods but I understand that for some, a cinnamon roll is not a cinnamon roll without the glaze! If you find yourself in this group here is a great glaze to drizzle on while the rolls are still warm: combine 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
This particular recipe is a lighter version to a morning treat that often makes us feel guilty after eating. You can feel much better after eating these treats though and I promise you won't find yourself feeling like you skimped on any flavor! It's true that they require a little more time to put together but remember, a little more than 2 hours of that preparation is actually rising time, which allows you the time to do other things around the house or just relax! The other great thing about these rolls is that after a day or two, you can keep them in an airtight container in the fridge (this keeps them from going bad faster) and then just pop them in your toaster oven to warm them in the morning. Delicious and an instant upgrade to any breakfast! For now, that's cinnamon rolls…in the shell of a nut!

There are thousands of WordPress themes out there, and you can rest assured that one of them will be absolutely perfect for you. But when you're looking for your theme, you'll need to shop around to find that perfect theme. You don't want to have to redo your whole site in a few months' time because you've decided you actually don't really like it! You also want to steer clear of choosing a theme that will require extensive modifications, which can be costly both in terms of time and also in terms of money if you don't know what you're doing. Here are six things that you'll want to think about before settling on a theme:
Free Themes Versus Paid Themes
There are tons of free themes, and depending on what your site's purpose is, you may find that they do exactly what you need. But there are tons of paid themes as well, and there are some pros and cons to each type. Obviously the pros of the free themes is the cost, but often free themes are more difficult to modify or don't have all the features that a paid theme would have. Paid themes are also typically less popular, meaning you can create a site that looks totally unique, and they're updated more frequently so that your website stays as safe as possible.
How Secure the Theme Is
Believe it or not, you need to worry about the security of your website in the same way that you need to worry about your computer contracting viruses! If you aren't careful, your domain could be hijacked or a whole other host of unpleasantries. To start with, make sure you're only downloading themes from trusted sources. And make sure to actually use the available security plugins and a secure login combination. You should also be using a VPN, especially if you're blogging on the go via public WiFi. Believe it or not, hackers lie in wait in places where public WiFi is used, and they're masters at cracking your internet connection to steal your information. A VPN will give you an encrypted connection that helps ensure that anything shared between your computer and your blog—e.g. your username and password—isn't floating around for just anyone to see.
The Type of Content You'll Upload
Although it may seem as if no matter which theme you use you'll be able to do everything you want with your blog, this is actually not the case. Just because you're able to upload videos and photos on a certain theme, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the best theme if you're going to upload copious amounts. Different themes load at different speeds. And if your site takes forever to load, you'll find that a lot of potential visitors are put off and will either close out of the page immediately or fail to return with any frequency. Key things to look out for are themes with an excess of features such as sliders and animation; simpler themes tend to run faster. And sometimes themes just aren't coded well or haven't been updated in too long. Read through the reviews, and see if there are any issues with the themes you're interested in, especially if you plan on paying for them.
Your Target Audience
You'll want to choose a theme that is geared toward your target demographic. Although you may personally like a flashy, neon, graffiti-style theme, this may not be the best option if your website is meant for a professional purpose. On the other hand, if you choose a stodgy, stuffy theme for your travel blog, you might turn off some of your potential readers. It's that age-old adage: you can never judge a book by its cover, except people frequently do so anyway. Try to get in the heads of your potential viewers and create a site that you think they'll want to visit.
How Easy It Is To Modify
Especially if you'll be creating the site wholly on your own, you need to make sure the site is within your abilities to edit. But even if you'll be hiring someone to edit it for you, you need to make sure that it's relatively easy to modify. If it's too difficult to make changes to the site, it may be impossible to make the site look exactly as you wish it to, and some web designers might charge more if the site is tricky to modify. Again, make sure to read the reviews prior to selecting that theme, and one easy rule of thumb is to make sure to choose a theme that doesn't require huge changes.
Other Blogs in Your Field
One of the great ways to get inspiration for your blog design is to look at other blogs in your field. If you're creating a travel blog, search for travel blogs and see what others have done. If you're creating a website for your dentistry practice, ditto. Take note of things you like and dislike about each of them. Imagine yourself as a potential site visitor and see what features make the site easy to use and what features make you dislike that site. And try not to make your site too similar to sites that are already established; you want to make sure your site stands out so there's a reason people visit your site rather than your competitors' sites.
Choosing your WordPress theme can be a fun process, allowing you to play around with the look of your future site to get the exact look that you want. However, if you're not careful and selective, you might find that the theme you thought you wanted isn't actually the theme that's best for you. Make sure you're fully thinking things through though, and you're sure to be right on track to build a great site that you can proudly share with the world.

Coffee & Kahlua are baked into this Creamy Cheesecake topped with Chocolate Ganache, Fresh Cream, and Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans. This baked coffee cheesecake recipe will be the next stunner at your dinner table!
Ugh you guys, coffee cheesecake, and chocolate? Wow. A new fave for sure. MY DAD who does not eat cheesecake went for this in an array of 8 other desserts and he liked it! Shocking. I actually made an apple strudel just for him, did he have strudel no! Just Cheesecake. I can't blame him.
The coffee flavor is there, it does kind of hit you, in a good way of course. Then the smooth chocolate ganache. And fresh cream, duh. I would top about anything with fresh cream, it really is one of my all-time favorite things.
What really inspired this Cheesecake was a random Trader Joe's trip. You know the ones were you end up spending $200 at Trader Joe's and you're like how is that even possible? Well, impulse purchases, specifically the chocolate covered espresso beans for this Coffee Cheesecake, and the 3 million other things I had to have.
While you could totally leave off the Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans I really do believe it gives it that something extra. You know like Elle Woods spraying her resume with perfume?
I made this along with 3 other desserts for Easter as well as the 2 desserts my auntie made- a total of 6 large desserts for 11 people. A bit much you say? Not enough I say!!
Make it. Chill it. Eat it. Love it. You will not be disappointed with this stunner.
And while I never want a Cheesecake that cracks if you're pouring chocolate ganache on top who the heck cares!
Now, what cheesecake flavor next?
What Are the Ingredients for Coffee Cheesecake?
You could do a traditional graham cracker crust but I feel like crushed Oreos pair well with the coffee. You'll only need:
- Finely crushed Oreos
- Melted butter
For the actual coffee cheesecake batter you'll need:
- Cream Cheese- the brick kind, not the whipped cream cheese in a tub. The cream cheese must be at room temperature when in doubt let it warm up longer. If the cheesecake is not completely softened to room temperature you will end up with tiny lumps of cream cheese.
- Granulated Sugar
- Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
- Heavy Cream
- Vanilla Paste- you could use pure vanilla extract but I love the flecks that you get from the paste.
- Instant Coffee Granules- you could use instant espresso powder if that's all you have.
- Kahlua Liquor (Water can be substituted for Kahlua)
- Large Eggs, at room temperature- this is vital so that the eggs incorporate evenly.
To top the cheesecake you'll make a simple ganache made up of good quality dark chocolate and heavy cream. Then you'll top that with fresh whipped cream. I have a whole post dedicated to making a stabilized whipped cream. Finally, a few chocolate-covered espresso beans really finish the cheesecake off but they are not necessary.
Tips & Tricks for Baking a Perfect Cheesecake
As always I highly suggest you take these steps to make sure you have the best cheesecake possible
- Bake your cheesecake the day before
- Baking your cheesecake the day before means it has plenty of time to chill (very necessary) and it is already made so you can focus on other party planning things!
How do I make a cheesecake with no cracks?
- Do not overwhip the cheesecake, you do not want a ton of air bubbles. Air bubbles = cracks
- When you pour the cheesecake batter into the springform pan tap the tin on the counter to release any air bubbles
- Bake the Cheesecake in a Springform Pan (affiliate link) for easy release when you serve it
- Do not open the oven doors when the cheesecake is baking you want all the hot air to stay in the oven until you turn the oven off
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath
How do I make a water bath for cooking my cheesecake?
- Make a water bath to bake the cheesecake
- Place the Springform Pan (affiliate link) in a large Round Cake tin
- Place the Cake Tin in a Roasting Pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water, stopping halfway up the side of the cake tin
- Let the cheesecake rest in the oven when baked
- When about the inner 2-inch diameter of the cheesecake is jiggly and the rest is set I turn the oven off and let the Cheesecake rest in the oven for 1 hour, I usually prop the oven door open with a wooden spoon for the last 20-30 minutes
- Cooling the cheesecake
- Take Cake Pan out of the roasting pan and let Cheesecake cool further on a wire rack for one hour
- After the cheesecake has cooled wrap it in plastic wrap and let the cheesecake chill overnight or a minimum of 6 hours
What is the best way to serve my cheesecake with clean slices?
Best way to serve cheesecake?
- When cutting the cheesecake to serve always have a hot cloth nearby to wipe the knife clean after each cut
- When serving let the cheesecake sit for 5-10 minutes before serving

- Cook Time: 80
- Total Time: 9 Hours 35 Minutes
- Yield: 10–12 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Method: Baking
- Cuisine: American
Coffee & Kahlua baked into this Creamy Cheesecake topped with Chocolate Ganache, Fresh Cream and Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans let this Coffee Cheesecake be the next stunner at your dinner table!
- 12oz Oreos, completely crushed into a crumb
- 3 Tablespoon Butter, melted
- 675 Grams (24oz) Cream Cheese, very soft at room temp.
- 220 Grams (1 cup) Granulated Sugar
- 139 Grams (1/2 heaping cup) Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
- 77 Grams (1/3 Cup) Heavy Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Paste
- 2 Tablespoons Instant Coffee Granules
- 3 Tablespoons Kahlua Liquor (Water can be substituted for Kahlua)
- 3 Large Eggs, at room temp.
Chocolate Ganache
- 8oz Dark Chocolate Finely Chopped
- 4oz Heavy Cream
Whipped Cream
- 8.4 ounces (1 Cup) Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 Teaspoon Dry Milk Powder
- Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans (Optional)
- Grease a 9-inch springform pan, set aside. Preheat oven to 350F. In a food processor, crush the Oreos till they become a fine crumb. Add melted butter, stirring until fully combined. Press into bottom and slightly up upsides of prepared pan. Place in fridge while you make the cheesecake.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat cream cheese for 3 minutes on medium to high speed. Add granulated sugar and beat for another 3 minutes. Add heavy cream, sour cream, and vanilla paste mixing until fully combined.
- In a small bowl mix together coffee granules and Kahlua until coffee is dissolved. Add to cheesecake batter mixing until just combined, scraping the sides to make sure fully incorporated. Add in eggs one at a time. You should have a creamy batter with no lumps. Pour into prepared pan. Place 9-inch springform pan in a 10-inch cake pan- place cake pan in roasting pan and fill roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the cake pan. This prevents ANY water from getting in the cheesecake and you don't have to wrap everything with foil.
- Bake for 70 to 80 minutes, the middle of the cheesecake should jiggle just a little bit. Turn oven off and let cool in oven for 1 hour then take out of roasting pan and wrap with plastic wrap. Let sit in the fridge overnight.
Chocolate Ganache
- In a medium bowl add chopped chocolate and set aside. In a small saucepan add cream and cook until just boiled. Pour directly over chocolate, let sit for 3 minutes. Then using a whisk, mix the chocolate and cream until a silky texture. Pour over chilled cheesecake then put back in the fridge to set.
Whipped Cream
- When ready to serve Cheesecake, take your bowl and whisk attachment to the mixer chill it in the freezer for 5 minutes. When ready whisk heavy cream for 1 minute, add a splash of vanilla and milk powder. Whisk until stiff peaks form. Using a pastry bag and any tip you like to pipe the whipped cream around the edges of the cake, I like to pipe mine pretty high. Then top with Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans, as many or as little as you would like. Store in fridge for up to 5 days.
*Total Time includes Chill Time

In the below video I do a review on the SmallRig HDMI Port Protector with Anti-Twist. Whew, I'm nearly finished doing reviews on HDMI port protection for your DSLR. I'm sure we're both ready to move on. The only one remaining is from SmallHD but that won't ship until March.
So I'm thinking that this is my 2nd favorite HDMI lock solution from what I've reviewed so far. Zacuto still wins for the best holding of the it's own brand of cable. But this SmallRig is much cheaper and does a terrific job.

I have been pretty restless this week and not sleeping as much as usual (I'm a 9 hours kindagal) both of which have affected my concentration. So I was pretty surprised to finish my second pair of jaywalkers, using some lovely sock yarn my Secret Pal sent me from Norway. On Ravelry here.
Rav link).
It was supposed to be sunny and 22 degrees today, but instead it is literally this gloomy outside.
blogs and on Flickr recently. I've only done two squares but I really like them.
My Director was asking me at work yesterday what I was doing this weekend and to advising me to make sure I wasn't going to be alone. She meant it kindly but I did boggle at this a bit since I really like being alone and am quite happy entertaining myself. Then one of the people I was out with last night said something that made me laugh. "I know you'll be alright cause you've got your knitting and that. I know you told me you liked that stuff but it wasn't til I saw a tweet about yarn that I realised you were serious." But it's true - I have got my yarn, and my box of embroidery threads which makes me happy just looking at it. Life may suck, but at least there is still yarn.

When we talk about the veiling of women, most of us picture Muslims in long, black or blue burqas.
Try asking people where the veiling of women originated. I suppose most would tell you arabs were the ones who started the tradition.
As you have probably figured by now, they would be wrong. Although the youngest of major religions is famous for veiling, it was not its inventor. In the 7th century A.D., when Islam began, the habit of veiling was at least 2000 years old.
The Covers of Babylon
First known mentions of women's duty to cover their hair and faces come from the very penis-looking Code of Hammurabi.
After Babylonians, Assyrians took hold of the land between Euphrates and Tigris. This militarist civilization, with its aggressive men, tightened the Babylonian veiling laws.
How? They divided women into categories (think Margaret Atwood — The Handmaid's Tale), and prescribed specific types of veils for each of them. Married women, as well as concubines, had to be veiled, when outside their home. On the other hand, harlots and women slaves were forbidden the covers.
The punishment for not obeying was harsh. If a slave woman veiled herself, every man had the right to arrest her. After she was punished by having her ears cut off, the man, who brought her in front of the punishing committee, was even allowed to take her clothes.
The woman-hating cradle of civilization
The veiling of women didn't end with Assyrians just to magically appear with Islam a few thousand years later. In the meantime, the foundation stone of our civilization made many women cover their faces, hair, and bodies as well. I'm talking about Greece, specifically the city-state of Athens.
It is no surprise, that the athenians didn't value the women much. As you've probably heard, women were not considered citizens. They had no legal rights and were passed from the patronage of fathers under the patronage of husbands at approximately at the age of fourteen.
A few greek philosophers even claimed that men and women were different species. Men resembled gods, meanwhile women could be likened to animals.
To support the existence of women's subordination, they created multiple theories and myths. Most of us have, for example, heard of Pandora's box.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it wasn't actually a box. It was an amphora. Although, it wasn't actually an amphora. It was a uterus. At least, that is what the historian Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones claims. Imagine the amphora. It has the shape of a uterus.
And do you remember what comes out of Pandora's box? It's death and other unpopular stuff, such as illnesses. How messed up would it be, if the uterus theory was right?
So, if you ever feel like blaming Islam for the subordination of women, and for veiling them, think about your own history. Most of our institutions are built on the ancient Greek model, and we also inherited their hate of women.

Cherry Creek School District administrators had a clear message for students and parents reporting to the newly renovated Fremont Building for classes this week.
"Choice is alive and well in Cherry Creek Schools," CCSD Board of Education Member Karen Fisher told the crowd that assembled in front of the 88,000 square-foot building to officially celebrate the new home for the district's Options Program. "This new facility is an example of our commitment to providing a home for all kinds of learning in our district."
The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Options Program's new home took place over the course of two days, with different gatherings on Thursday, Sept. 6 and Friday, Sept. 7. Accommodating the different schedules of students aligns with the mission at the heart of the Options Program, the district's homeschool enrichment initiative designed to support parents who choose to school their children at home.
Just as the ribbon-cutting ceremonies for the impressive new facility were designed to fit into the schedules of Option's diverse cadre of the students, the program itself is meant to meet the unique needs of students and parents of different backgrounds and goals. The program's move into a new home at a dedicated, refurbished facility illustrates the district's commitment to that mission, according to Options Program Administrator Neal Patrick.
"We've come full circle. With this new facility, we're able to represent and accommodate a greater portion of our community," Patrick said. He pointed to the wide array of technology and tools in the building's music, arts and science classrooms. "The district is committed to supporting many forms of learning and education. It's who we are."
Students in the Options Program attend classes taught by certified instructors on-site one day a week. Teachers work with parents to supplement home instruction and offer workbooks, activities and other resources to complement curriculum.
CCSD Superintendent Dr. Scott Siegfried joined Fisher and her fellow board members Kelly Bates, Janice McDonald and Board President Dave Willman for the opening ceremonies, taking time to tour the new building after joining program administrators to tour the building. Siegfried pointed out that Options is a part of the district's larger commitment to meeting the needs of all learners in their pursuit of excellence.
"It's exciting that we're able to offer a permanent, 21st-century facility to our Options Program. We want to make sure that these students have all the tools they need to connect to their right future," Siegfried said. "It's wonderful to be able to fully welcome them to the Cherry Creek School District family."
"With this new facility, we're able to represent and accommodate a greater portion of our community ... The district is committed to supporting many forms of learning and education. It's who we are."

Remember those who fought for us
And our country.
Those who risked their lives for us to live in a free country.
Lots of soldiers died.
Some survived.
But came back with horrific injuries.
But we can't just give all the credit to those who came back.
We also have to give credit to those who fought for our country but didn't come back.
They fought and fought for us.
They never gave up.
Even if they were hurt they would keep going.
Wounds and scratches.
Gun shots.
Many needed treatment.
Nurses working all day.
Nurses struggling to the limit.

Killing ants that have invaded your lawn is easy, but killing them while being mindful of your pets is another story. Pet-friendly options can help you eliminate the ants safely without using harsh chemicals and other unsafe methods.
Fill a large flowerpot with dirt and place it at the edge of your lawn, away from the house. If a flower pot isn't handy, any large mound of dirt will do. Place a piece of food on top, such as a piece or two of fruit or whatever is handy, to attract the ants. Once a large number of ants covers the bait, pour boiling water over the ants to wipe them out. Continue to replace the bait and flush them out with hot water as often as needed.
Sprinkle cornmeal or dry grits around the outside of your home and yard. The ants will collect the free food to take home for dinner, where large numbers of ants will consume the bait. The cornmeal or grits will make them quite thirsty, so they will find something to drink and then explode as the bait expands inside them.
Fill a bucket or other large container with water and add enough dish soap to make it sudsy. Pour the soapy water all over anthills that you find on your property. This will quickly kill off many of them and force others to find a new home.
Cut oranges into fourths and scatter them throughout your lawn. The ants will rush to them in force to start collecting dinner. When the birds notice, they will fly down and pick up the orange wedges, ants and all and remove them from your yard.
Use a shovel to scoop up ants from one anthill and drop them on top of another anthill. The ants will go to war and kill each other so you won't have to. Wear pants and a long-sleeved shirt to keep ants off of you.
Plant lavender, marigolds and tansy near your home to keep ants away, as they don't care for the smell.

Tests and reviews of different batteries to help you find the Right One…
The 1.2V AAA 1000 mAh GP NiMH batteries we test here are of the standard NiMH type and are rated at 1000 mAh typical capacity and 930 mAh minimum guaranteed. Our experience so far with GP batteries has shown that some models are performing great while others not so well, so it will be interesting to see to which group we can add these batteries. So time to start the testes…
As we usually do we have started the test of the 1.2V AAA 1000 mAh GP NiMH batteries with a low constant current discharge rate of 0.1A and the result we got was 1085 mAh and that is pretty impressive for a battery rated at 1000 mAh. Going further with a load of 0.2A and we managed to get 1005 mAh which is still over the typical rating of these batteries, and with even higher load we still manage to get good results, though not that impressive as at 0.5A we are are a below the minimum rating. Still we are seeing very good performance from the 1.2V AAA 1000 mAh GP NiMH batteries.
The performance of the 1.2V AAA 1000 mAh GP NiMH batteries in our tests:
– 1085 mAh at 0.1A load
– 1005 mAh at 0.2A load
– 876 mAh at 0.5A load
– 796 mAh at 1.0A load
– 1.325 Wh at 0.1A load
– 1.211 Wh at 0.2A load
– 1.029 Wh at 0.5A load
– 0.874 Wh at 1.0A load

Glensheen, featured on the popular A & E program, "America's Castles" was built between 1905 and 1908 by Chester Congdon. The house, located on tree-lined London Road, resembles an early seventeenth century English country estate. Most of the original furnishings of 1908 are still in the home.

After mining commenced, however, they found that there wasn't any corundum after all.
From the brink of bankruptcy, 3M emerged as one of the most innovative corporations worldwide, developing items such as Scotch tape, reflective paint for road lines, plastics for hospitals, and much more. Tour the 3M museum to see how great ideas can come from humble beginnings.
