Chapter 4.3 – The Silver Feather Knight Regiment
Zha Ji was once the Demon Chef, and he had always received courteous and grand receptions no matter where he went. Looking at the few silver coins thrown to them, he did not even give them a single glance and said coldly: "Do you think we are beggars? This is a major road, not your house."
The knight took another step forward with his expression unchanged, but his imposing manner gave out an increasing pressure, and he repeated his former words, "Please leave immediately."
"What basis do you have to be so overbearing?" Nian Bing said angrily, standing in front of his Master. Although he clearly knew that the knight had the strength of a swordmaster, but he did not have any fear.
Looking at the little fatty in front of him, the knight's eyebrows furrowed, his hand gripping the sword hilt on his waist, repeating for a third time: "Please leave immediately." Very obviously, if he was rejected again, he would begins attacking.
At this time, two women got off the horse-drawn carriage, and the angelic voice sounded out once more, "Enough, this is not our territory, we are travelling now, do not cause unnecessary trouble for others others." The attractive sound caught Nian Bing's attention, and when he saw the two beautiful forms, he couldn't help but be dazed momentarily.
The lady in front appeared to have an appearance of 27-28 years old. She was wearing a blue qipao with silver embroideries, each having its own beautiful design. She had long, shapely eyebrows, a nose of jade, creamy white skin, a head of long, dark green hair that spread out from behind her like a waterfall, bound with a silver ring, and blue eyes as clear as water. Her face wore a faint smile, looking toward Nian Bing.
Nian Bing was completed dazed, his normally stable hands were slightly shivering. Zha Ji looked at her, and praised her silently in his heart, even after having travelled the mainland for so many years, he had not seen many beautiful young women of such quality.
"Little Pervert, who allowed you to look of my mother like that." The little girl at the side of the young woman suddenly jumped up, both hands at her waist, giving Nian Bing a discontented look. She looked to be around 12-13 years of age, wearing a white dress, bearing some resemblance to the beautiful woman, though with a slightly childish air. Although she was currently angry, it still did not reduce her cuteness. With her short dark green hair dropped down to just over her ears, and her hands on her waist, it greater displayed her naivety and innocence.
"Mom, Mom." Tears gleamed in Nian Bing's eyes, and he suddenly shouted out loud: "Mom… Mom!" Zha Ji was not holding on to him, and he suddenly rushed towards the beautiful young woman.
The knight who was in front of them reacted extremely quickly, with one step, he blocked Nian Bing's advance. But at this moment, nothing else existed for Nian Bing except that beautiful woman, the seemingly fat body quickly moved to one side, and his right hand subconsciously pulled out the long sword from the knight's waist, and using the sword like a knife, he struck seven blows with lightning speed towards the knight. At the same time, his left hand's fingers flicked, and two icicles flew out towards the knight's eyes without warning.
As a swordmaster, furthermore a Silver Feather Knight, he definitely had gone through the trial of blood and fire. Even so, facing a child who did not even come up to his waist, how much precaution could he have? The sword which had been his companion for so many years seemed to come alive in Nian Bing's hands, and the seven continuous flowing blows did not seem to have any particular style except for one word – speed. His self-preservation instincts kicking in subconsciously, the Knight's body bent backwards, dodging the icicles and sword coming at him; however, though he successfully managed to dodge the ice cons, but the 7 swift blows were not so easily dodged. Nian Bing had been training by chopping firewood the whole year, and his wrist had been strengthened to that of an adult's. The sword instantly struck the knight's armor, causing sparks to fly out. Even though he had not caused any real damage to the knight, but he had certainly made him look bad.
The time in between was more than sufficient for Nian Bing, as he swiftly bypassed the knight and flew swiftly towards the beautiful woman, tears streaming down his plump cheeks, his whole body seemingly imbued with a sorrowful aura.
To a knight, his sword is his life; having his sword taken from him and used against him could be said to be the greatest insult possible. Furthermore, the one who did so was just a child! The knight who had seemed so calm previously shouted out in anger, and with a quick step, he had already chased Nian Bing from behind, a dim blue light coalescing around his right hand, striking towards Nian Bing's head.
"Be careful!" Zha Ji cried out in alarm.
However, at this moment, Nian Bing's eyes and heart were totally focused on the beautiful lady, and he ignored Zha Ji's warning, the knight's sword still in his hand as he ran forward, without a clue about the angry palm behind him which was speeding towards his head like a death god – that blow would be more than enough to kill him several times over.
"He is just a child." A soft sigh rang out as a figure flashed out, and soft beautiful hand covered in silver light blocking the knight's blow. The knight was knocked back several steps before regaining his balance, staggering around as his face flushed red.
The one who had suddenly saved Nian Bing was the beautiful lady, and when her figure vanished from Nian Bing's eyes, he had also halted, before realising that she was just beside him. He immediately threw down the sword in his hands, crying out in woe: "Mama…" Like a young swallow returning to its nest, he threw himself into her embrace. Of course, if a young swallow was as fat as him, it probably would not be able to fly up.
The beautiful woman was rather stunned, as she held Nian Bing's shoulders, and she was momentarily at a loss. Before marriage, she had been known for her fiery temper, and although she had reigned in her temper a little after marriage, but those who knew of her reputation usually kept their distance from her. Besides her husband, if any other man dared touch her, he would probably be chopped into pieces. However, looking at the sobbing, depressed Nian Bing in her arms, a motherly instinct rose within her, and she did not resist but instead enveloped him in her embrace.
"Child, don't cry. Tell Aunty, what happened to you?" She said in a gentle tone.
"Mama, Mama, don't leave me, don't leave me." All of Nian Bing's repressed emotions as he missed his mother suddenly welled out, and he started crying out loud in her arms.
The little girl who was accompanying her mother saw that her mother had been 'taken' by someone else, and instantly ran over and pushed Nian Bing, "What are you doing! I won't allow you to hug my mother."
The little girl had a surprising strength, even if Nian Bing was prepared he wouldn't be able to compare in strength. Being unprepared, he stumbled and fell to the side, but at the moment he had been clutching the woman's skirt, and a tearing sound rang out, and with a cry of surprise from the beautiful woman, her skirt had been torn, causing part of her legs to be revealed. She immediately flushed deep red, quickly clutching the remnants of her skirt to cover herself. The knights around quickly turned their bodies, praying inwardly: 'I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything. If the Marquis knows what happened, I'm afraid he will dig out our eyes.'
"Chen Chen, what are you doing?" After the beautiful woman covered her delicate body, she angrily rebuked her daughter beside her.
Feeling wronged, Chen Chen said, "Mother, Why did he call you mother? You are my mother only ."
The beautiful woman looked at her daughter tenderly and helplessly shook her head. A silver radiance appeared, gathering near the tattered skirt and causing the remnants to bind together. Although it could be considered awkward, at the very least it could be considered to have been restored to a full state.
Nian Bing fell for a moment and the blow actually calmed his mind down a little. Zha Ji was already running toward him and helped him off the floor. "Nian Bing, what's wrong?" His eyes displayed worry. Currently, what Zha Ji feared the most was that Nian Bing had broken his memory seal.
Nian Bing got up and let Zha Ji slap the dust off of him, all while staring foolishly at the beautiful woman. He mumbled, "You, you aren't Mama. Mama's hair is blue."
The beautiful woman had already corrected her dress. She gently walked in front of Nian Bing and said, "Child, could it be that your mother and I share a great resemblance?"
Nian Bing firmly nodded.
The beautiful woman looked at his plump, small face, and her eyes could not help but display a tender radiance, "Then where is your mother?"
Nian Bing's mind was clear now, so he lowered his head and lightly shook it. "I don't know. I only have my master."
Hearing those words, Zha Ji let out a sigh of release and hastily said, "Madam, please excuse us. My apprentice had lost both his parents. Perhaps it is because he greatly misses his mother that he offended you. I hope you would forgive this."
The beautiful woman gave a faint smile, "It doesn't matter. This child is really adorable."
Chen Chen came closer and resentfully pouted her small mouth, saying, "But he isn't as cute as me. He is so fat, like a ball. So ugly, I could die." In fairness, although Nian Bing had gotten a tad fat, he was still quite young after all. And with addition to his originally handsome face, he truly could not be regarded as ugly. Although Chen Chen said this, she thought to herself, 'This small fatty has a very amusing appearance.'

St Athanasius the Great the Patriarch of Alexandria31. January 2016 - 14:58
Saint Athanasius the Great, Archbishop of Alexandria, was a great Father of the Church and a pillar of Orthodoxy. He was born around the year 297 in the city of Alexandria into a family of pious Christians. He received a fine secular education, but he acquired more knowledge by diligent study of the Holy Scripture. In his childhood, the future hierarch Athanasius became known to St Alexander the Patriarch of Alexandria (May 29). A group of children, which included Athanasius, were playing at the seashore. The Christian children decided to baptize their pagan playmates.
The young Athanasius, whom the children designated as "bishop", performed the Baptism, precisely repeating the words he heard in church during this sacrament. Patriarch Alexander observed all this from a window. He then commanded that the children and their parents be brought to him. He conversed with them for a long while, and determined that the Baptism performed by the children was done according to the Church order. He acknowledged the Baptism as real and sealed it with the sacrament of Chrismation. From this moment, the Patriarch looked after the spiritual upbringing of Athanasius and in time brought him into the clergy, at first as a reader, and then he ordained him as a deacon.
Saint Sava I, First Archbishop of Serbia26. January 2016 - 21:30
Saint Sava, First Archbishop of Serbia, in the world Rostislav (Rastko), was a son of the Serbian king Stephen Nemanya and Anna, daughter of the Byzantine Emperor Romanus. From his early years he fervently attended church services and had a special love for icons.
At seventeen years of age, Rostislav met a monk from Mount Athos, secretly left his father's house and set off for the St Panteleimon monastery. (By divine Providence in 1169, the year of the saint's birth, the ancient monastery of the Great Martyr and healer Panteleimon was given to Russian monks.)
Synaxis of the Holy Glorious Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John18. January 2016 - 13:13
In the Orthodox Church it is customary, on the day following the Great Feasts of the Lord and the Mother of God, to remember those saints who participated directly in the sacred event. So, on the day following the Theophany of the Lord, the Church honors the one who participated directly in the Baptism of Christ, placing his own hand upon the head of the Savior.
St John, the holy Forerunner and Baptist of the Lord, whom the Lord called the greatest of the prophets, concludes the history of the Old Testament and opens the era of the New Testament. The holy Prophet John bore witness to the Only-Begotten Son of God, incarnate in the flesh. St John was accounted worthy to baptize Him in the waters of the Jordan, and he was a witness of the Theophany of the Most Holy Trinity on the day of the Savior's Baptism.
Homily on the Baptism of the Lord18. January 2016 - 13:10
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Gal. 3:27)
Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God… Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God (Jn. 3:3, 5)
According to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy Ghost (Titus 3:5).
A new, bright feast has arrived; the day of Light, the day of the most glorious, mysterious Baptism of the Lord, to Whom we are obligated for our renewal or rebirth, enlightenment, restoration, and adoption by the heavenly Father from Whom humankind was estranged for several thousand years by the defilement of sin.
Protomartyr and Archdeacon Stephen8. January 2016 - 22:10
The Holy Protomartyr and Archdeacon Stephen was the eldest of the seven deacons, appointed by the Apostles themselves, and therefore he is called "archdeacon." He was the first Christian martyr, and he suffered for Christ when he was about thirty. In the words of Asterias, he was "the starting point of the martyrs, the instructor of suffering for Christ, the foundation of righteous confession, since Stephen was the first to shed his blood for the Gospel."
Filled with the Holy Spirit, St Stephen preached Christianity and defeated Jewish teachers of the Law in debate. The Jews maligned St Stephen, saying that he had uttered blasphemy against God and against Moses. St Stephen came before the Sanhedrin and the High Priest to answer these charges. He gave a fiery speech, in which he recounted the history of the Jewish nation, and denounced the Jews for persecuting the prophets, and also for executing the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ (Acts ch. 7).

NASA is a Swedish synthpop band fronted by Patrik Henzel and Martin Thors. They debuted in 1983 with a song for a Swedish film. In 1985 they had a Swedish top ten hit "Paula". In the 1980s, the band had little success outside of Sweden. A planned US album was recorded, but then shelved by Columbia Records. They continued to have numerous hit singles in their home country of Sweden. They were basically defunct for most of the 1990s, but had a resurgence with the album "Remembering the Future" in 1999.
NASA 515 is a Boeing 737 heavily modified for NASA use as a continuing research facility. The aircraft was the first 737 built and was used by Boeing to qualify the 737 design. NASA 515 was maintained and flown by Langley Research Center as part of the Terminal Area Productivity (TAP) program.
The aircraft is on public display at the Museum of Flight, near Seattle, Washington.
A.S.A (Actors Student Alliance) is a membership organization for actors in Kensal Green London. The school was founded in June 2008 by Aml Ameen with a group of 30 student actors. In February 2009 Aml trimmed the school down to 15 members so he could concentrate on an elite group of actors. From its inception the school has gone on to producing a short film and a theatre showcase for its students.
After working closely with Najan Ward who joined the group in September 2008, Aml Ameen quickly spotted his talent and helped him improve his audition techniques which led to Najan being cast by Ted Dowd for the new BBC comedy Home Time by Baby Cow Productions.Aml Ameen and Najan Ward are producing their first short film The Pick Up which was devised in a workshop in one of Aml's improvised classes. The film goes into production in June 2009.
In its United Kingdom Tax Bulletin 64 (April 2003), the Inland Revenue (now HM Revenue and Customs) announced new guidance on the "settlements legislation". This is a body of law which seeks to prevent someone (known as the "settlor") from avoiding tax by reclassifying income as belonging to someone else (known as the beneficiary). The income is then taxed at the beneficiary's lower rate although the settlor continues to benefit from it. The legislation targets spouses and also parents seeking to divert income via their minor children.
The section of the legislation is 660A of the UK Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988. Using the revised (April 2003) interpretation of s.660A, UK HMRC have been targeting businesses set up by spouses where they are aware that income is split between the spouses, and only one of them directly generates that income. In theory s.660A can apply to partnerships as well as limited companies, this has yet to be tested in the UK courts. In 2007 the interpretation was finally rejected by the Law Lords, resulting in the government proposing new leglisation to tackle the perceived abuse.
S-45A was an American satellite, which was lost in a launch failure in 1961. The satellite was intended to operate in a highly elliptical orbit, from which it was to have provided data on the shape of the ionosphere, and on the Earth's magnetic field. It was part of the Explorer programme, and would have been designated Explorer 12 had it reached orbit. It was the second of two identical satellites to be launched; the first, S-45, had also been lost in a launch failure, earlier in the year.
S-45A was launched aboard a Juno II rocket, serial number AM-19G. It was the final flight of the Juno II. The launch took place from Launch Complex 26B at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at 19:48:05 UTC on 24 May 1961. The system which was intended to ignite the second stage malfunctioned, and as a result that stage failed to ignite. The rocket failed to achieve orbit.
S100 calcium-binding protein A13 (S100A13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the S100A13 gene.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the S100 family of proteins containing 2 EF-hand calcium-binding motifs. S100 proteins are localized in the cytoplasm and/or nucleus of a wide range of cells, and involved in the regulation of a number of cellular processes such as cell cycle progression and differentiation. S100 genes include at least 13 members which are located as a cluster on chromosome 1q21. This protein is widely expressed in various types of tissues with a high expression level in thyroid gland. In smooth muscle cells, this protein co-expresses with other family members in the nucleus and in stress fibers, suggesting diverse functions in signal transduction. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
S100A13 has been shown to interact with SYT1 and FGF1.
Up-regulation of S100A13 was detected in cystic papillary thyroid carcinoma and association of S100A13 expression and chemotherapy resistance was shown in proteomics study of melanoma.
Hey we're gonna be around
Hey we're gonna work it out
Hey there's nothing to fight about
Today we're gonna be about
You hardly know me, you say I'm your best friend
Everything's ace, it'll work out in the end
Say that you love us, I don't believe that you want me to stay
You're hoping that I'll go away
I'm gonna be around
Hey I'm gonna work it out
Hey there's plenty to fight about
No way I'm ever going down
You hardly know me, you say I'm your best friend
Everything's ace, it'll work out in the end
Say that you love us, I don't believe that you want me to stay
You're hoping that I'll go away
You follow me here, follow me there
You mess me around like you think that I care
You think that I need you, you think that you own me
You don't think I see you, you don't think you know me
You can tell me all the things you want to say

All night, I became buried. It was comfortable, rapturous. The room was in the basement floor, so the walls were cold to the touch and the air was moist but I was warm, nearly too warm underneath the thick layers of comforter. Bundled on the tall bed, made with an iron frame. I was trapped there in all the blankets, drifting in and out of sleep. It was too sloth-like, like a barbiturate and I kept meaning to wake up but succumbing again and again to sleep. I finally woke up at noon.
He didn't punish me. You were tired, he told me. You must have needed it. I must have needed it, I thought, and tried to remember all the nights before this one and the debts of restlessness. An hour here and an hour there, burning the candle at both ends – it really adds up.
I hadn't looked in the mirror before I went upstairs so I didn't know what I looked like but I didn't care if I looked bad. I knew my face was all puffy and my eyes small. Brown curls framed my face like a mop. I had slept in a shirt and long johns but found a robe down in the bathroom there to go greet him, thinking it'd be more appropriate for breakfast. The robe was a soft, slick material – maybe silk, but I wasn't sure. Green flowers on a pastel blue background. It was detailed in gold brocade and smelled like a pantry. I found it kind of sad for whoever had lived here before to have had their items end up this way – stranded, as is, with no one special like family to use them. It was me, so I appreciated them – the old perfume and the white wicker vanity. But it could have easily not been me. What was this person like? What was their best memory in this robe? What about their worst?
Upstairs, there was a kitchen with terra-cotta tiles and plants hanging in the window. I didn't care if I looked bad because the light was so soft on this grey day; the whole outside world was compacted with snow. I helped him cook breakfast. I am not a good cook, so I only did little things to start but then I could build up and start learning more. We made a pot of coffee, eggs, bacon and omelets with chives and cheese. It's good to have a hearty breakfast, he told me, and I thought about it and I knew it was true because I used to get so hungry around eleven o'clock after eating a little breakfast.
The dining room is in front of the kitchen, separate only by countertops. We sat at the corners like kids, the food all spread out on the lace tablecloth. The floor in the dining room was hardwood and creaky and wobbly, it rolled like waves and cried in the night. The table was in front of two glass sliding doors so it was kind of like eating outside, with all the whiteness, the trees, the mountains and the snow. Eating is building in reverse and consumption is a job. I worked on the eggs, the omelet and the bacon bit by bit. I'd tire and get back to it. I was hungry then content. Then I was nibbling and washing it down with cups of coffee, filling up an inside need that sometimes isn't physical at all. The first meal of vacation is important.
He watched me eat. It made him very happy. He liked to see me enjoy myself. He knew it was good for me. I told him breakfast was my favorite meal of the day. He didn't believe me. He said I must have eaten terribly in the city. I did, in the mornings. I always felt kind of sick when I first woke up there, couldn't find anything to eat in the cabinets, wasted an hour not wanting to leave the house and so it goes…In fact, I felt kind of sick after eating that big breakfast. I had to lie down even after spending all that time in bed. He said it was okay.
It was already two in the afternoon. The days slip by so fast in the country. We had spent an hour at breakfast talking about our memories and laughing. We had talked about years ago when we were just sixteen and the summers were lazy out of necessity: there was nothing to do and nowhere to go. We'd spend hours in the ovaloid pool, which was caked in wildflowers. A rotting fence was like an outline to the rolling hills beyond. The pool was dirty and calm enough to be just like a pond. Deep cerulean water glittered in the sunshine. Hours would drift by – slowly at first, I remembered, because we were so anxious to get on with everything – enjoyment was over-calculated when you're so smart and so trapped, so we'd get a little drunk off of warm sangria in water bottles until time had less weight. How strange that life was that small back then but it sounded really nice right now. The memory was suddenly no longer pleasant because it had meant so much more than what we had thought it would then.
The days passed on. The first was the longest, the second became shorter until they passed without me even knowing. Was I getting better? He assure me I was getting better. I wondered how long we'd be here. The winter was a trap because the outside was so unattainable. It was something you needed to prepare to enter. Something so harsh.
I didn't miss the drug. I took it when I felt that everything was too much, so I never wanted to take it here. Every thing was too little here: slow, no stimuli. He thinks it's it or him. He thinks I'm that simple. He thinks I can be addicted to him, when I can't be addicted to anything. Reliant, maybe. He thinks the drug is my worst enemy, my only battle. But it's always been myself.
I see the way the snow moves outside. I can see nature move and change. I'll see the seasons change from here, too. Remember, he says, remember a blizzard and a car crash. No one was hurt, but it was so dramatic.
No, I said, Stop, I don't want to remember anything anymore.

South-east Asia's biggest and most prestigious football competition is about to explode into action, and while Group A action in Hanoi will be tough and exciting, there will be huge interest here as Singapore prepares to host Group B of the ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup.
After all the fuss over the state of the pitch, organisers will hope the Lions' opener against favourites Thailand at the new 55,000-capacity National Stadium at the Sports Hub will show off quality football that excites fans.
This will be the fourth time the Republic will host the biennial tournament.
While the Lions' record in the group stages in 1996, 2002 and 2007 - four wins, four draws and only two losses -paints a positive picture of solid performances at home, the reality is quite different.
Singapore has survived the group stages only once at home, going on to lift the ASEAN title in 2007.
This year, Bernd Stange's men have been drawn in a group that features the only teams that have beaten the Lions when Singapore has hosted the biennial tourney - Malaysia and Thailand.
There is also the added danger of facing former coach Radojko Avrmaovic and his Myanmar side.
Rafi Ali and Nazri Nasir vividly remember the 4-0 thumping at the hands of Causeway rivals Malaysia in 2002, one of the lowest points in the history of the Lions.
They are firm in the belief that the Lions' class of 2014 will survive a tough Group B and make the semi-finals, but they also say the pressure of playing in front of a home crowd cannot be underestimated.
"That loss to Malaysia came in our first game in 2002, and it was a total mess, something I'd rather forget," Rafi told The New Paper yesterday.
"Playing at home in front of your own fans is always a pleasure, but on the flip side it comes with a lot of pressure - too much sometimes - and that's probably what happened then."
Singapore went on to beat Laos 2-1, but failed to qualify after a 1-1 draw with Thailand in their final group fixture.
Nazri remembers the weight of expectation leading up to that Malaysia match that became, in his head, a do or die fixture that turned into a national disaster.
"I imagine it's the same against Thailand this Sunday. A good start is especially important in a tournament like this, and with Thailand showing that they are the favourites, there could be even more pressure on our players," said former Singapore captain Nazri.
"Even if we don't do well against Thailand, it doesn't mean that it's over, but I believe Singapore will qualify, along with Thailand."
It is a sentiment shared by 41-year-old Rafi.
"In the old days, teams were scared just hearing the names of the Thai players - there were some great players -and because of that, there was a bit of a mental block when we played them," said the Tampines Rovers coach.
"But now its different, we have beaten Thailand, even (in a match played) in Thailand."
In an Asian Cup qualifier in 2009, Aleksandar Duric scored in a 1-0 victory over Thailand in Bangkok, the first time in 34 years that Singapore beat the Thais on their own turf.
And both former Lions believe there is a good blend of youth and experience in the team, with experience running through the backbone of the side.
"From Hassan Sunny to Baihakki Khaizan, Hariss Harun and captain Shahril Ishak and Khairul Amri, there are players who know what the Suzuki Cup is about, and have won it before - the question is can they rise to the occasion," said Rafi.
While Nazri was concerned over the fact that the new National Stadium isn't exactly a home for the Lions yet - Singapore's players have been involved in only one match there so far, as a Singapore Selection in a 5-0 loss to Juventus in August - he remained confident in Stange's charges.
"This close to the start of the tournament, it's all about togetherness and team spirit, and I'm certain that Shahril and the senior players have worked on that," said Nazri.
"Even in such a tough group, I'm very confident about these boys."

Dog-crazy Mariah Carey spends a huge £28,000 a year grooming her pets… all eight of them.
The American diva – worth an estimated £290million – refuses to scrimp when it comes to pampering her beloved mutts, enlisting the services of a full-time groomer and chauffeur from her fave Beverly Hills doggy salon.
As well as a monthly standard cut and blow dry (£48) at the Rainbow Pet Spa, canines Cha Cha, Jackie Lambchops, JJ (also known as Jack), Jill E Beans, Squeak E Beans, The Good Reverend Pow Jackson, Pipitty L Jackson and Mutley P Gore Jackson The Third, enjoy a host of other wacky luxury treatments.
Plus a rather less luxurious anal gland expression (a snip, quite literally, at £18).
The pooches are given full body wraps, Thai massage, blueberry facials and manicures during their day-long spa trips.
An insider reveals: "Mariah pays for all the spa therapies herself and doesn't expect any special treatment. Only her dogs get that.
"While prices start at £40 for a simple trim, other treatments are extra and Mariah's dogs really seem to enjoy their wraps and full body massages.
"She pays for her doggies to travel with her first class on a whim. And when they can't she will check them into doggy day care at salons Chateau Marmutt, Barkingham Palace, or Pour La Pooch. She also employs a designated chauffeur to ferry them to and fro at around £400 a time.
"But she will always get the animals groomed before travelling – she likes them smart at all times.
"As well having them bathed and blow dried, Mariah is also very keen on the latest LA trend for canines – blueberry facials.
Our insider says: "She's obsessed with how they smell after one.
"The facials are also great for getting rid of doggy wrinkles, so everyone's a winner."
Last year Mariah revealed that she'd bought three puppies to add to her family of five Jack Russell terriers.
The groomers' celebrity clientele also include Vanessa Hudgens, Paris Hilton and Paula Abdul.
The Heartbreaker singer's first Jack Russell, named Jack, always travels with her – or, as Mariah once tweeted: "Jack lives on a private jet."

Memphis becomes first city to offer student debt benefit
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
As part of a new workplace benefit, Memphis will become the first city in the nation to help its employees tackle student debt.
The city on Thursday announced it will contribute $50 a month to the student loan account of any employee who has worked for the city for at least a year. The benefit, which will be managed by administrator Tuition.io, will kick in July 1.
Alex Smith, Memphis' chief human resources officer, says the key motivation behind the benefit is to help employees and show them they are an "important investment."
"We know that professional development is important to our workforce," she says. "We were looking for a program to complement our tuition reimbursement program and provide additional support to our employees as they pursue advanced education. We also know that student loan debt is a concern for our workforce … [and] we believe that this program will help lighten the financial burden on our employees."
Smith pointed to a recent report from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis that found student debt levels in Memphis increased 5% in 2015, compared to 3% nationally. The average borrower in the River City has $31,000 in student loans.
Additionally, Smith notes, the "compelling and competitive benefit" will help the city attract and retain talent.
"[This] provides us with a unique opportunity to offer a competitive benefit to our employees — a benefit that no other municipality is currently offering," she says. "We see this as a great opportunity to attract and retain top talent for the city of Memphis and effectively compete for talent."
About 840 city employees — 14% of the city's workforce — are expected to benefit from the program, Smith says.
Memphis joins a small but growing number of employers offering student debt repayment as a workplace benefit. Companies including Aetna, Staples and Penguin Random House have recently implemented the benefit. Though only about 4% of companies offer student loan assistance, according to the Society for Human Resource Management, that number is expected to jump in the next few years. Consulting firm Willis Towers Watson predicts the number could hit 20% by 2018.
Industry experts agree, noting that the perk is a win-win for both employees and employers. It helps ease employees' financial stress — which in turn will keep them happier and more productive at work. At the same time, the benefit serves as a recruiting and retention tool for employers. The vast majority of employees (86%) say they would stay with a company for at least five years if their employer helped pay down their student loans, according to research by American Student Assistance, a Boston-based nonprofit that focuses on eliminating finances as a barrier to further education and professional growth.

Student debt is a growing problem for employees: There are more than 44 million borrowers with a total of $1.3 trillion in student loan debt in the U.S., according to the latest statistics. And, according to ASA, the burden is impacting workers on the job: 56% worry about repaying their loan either all the time (26%) or often (30%). Forty percent report that worrying about their student loans has impacted their health, while 61% have considered getting a second job to help pay off their student loans.
Those statistics are reason enough for smart employers to begin offering the benefit, says Scott Thompson, CEO of Tuition.io.
"As the first major American city to embrace student loan assistance, Memphis is proving itself to be a leader in understanding and catering to the needs of today's workers," he says. "Their initiation of this program should be a clarion call for other municipalities to follow suit. The burden of student loan debt is not a problem limited to private sector employees, and cities both large and small have significant numbers of workers who can benefit from debt reduction programs."

Now that we've all finished scrubbing our dirty, dirty bodies clean after looking at all those obscene Spore creatures, there's one question on our lascivious lips. What's EA/Maxis going to do about all these phalluses and buggerers and gaping anuses? Spore is, after all, a family game. It surely wouldn't do for little Johnny Evolution to discover a vagina-beast has wandered into his game.
Posts tagged "OH MY EYES!"
You give humanity a creative tool, the first thing a human will do is - well - make a tool with it. Since the Spore demo's release, it's become a bukkake wave sweeping the web: comedy pornographic images via Spore. Spornography - aka "Sporn". Has it reached a climax yet? We don't know, but we think it's as good a time as any to stop…

A Flying Man is one of the many fictional characters in the Mother series. It appears in both Mother and EarthBound, with minor roles in the storyline, in each game's Magicant. Flying Men are found inside a house, and they are five in total. If talked to, a Flying Man will join the protagonist's party until he is defeated, as long as no other Flying Man is already there. Once defeated, he will be buried at his home and will never be able to be revived.
Super Smash Bros.
The flying man appears on the Magicant stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as a stage hazard which will help whoever touches him first with flying cross chops that do decent knockback and damage. The Flying Man can be defeated though another one will spawn soon after. In addition, a grave appears when they are defeated and there is a max of 5 of them per match similar to how they acted in the game.

Austrian physician; born at Prague Sept. 22, 1807; died at Interlaken, Switzerland, Oct. 28, 1870. Educated at the universities of Prague and Vienna (M. D. 1837), he became in 1838 physician to the Jewish hospital at Töplitz (Teplitz), Bohemia, at which watering-place he established himself as a physician, practising there until his death.
Of Schmelkes' works may be mentioned: "Physikalisch-Medizinische Darstellung des Kohlenmineral-Moors und Dessen Anwendung zu Bädern," Prague, 1835; "Die Thermalbäder zu Teplitz," Berlin, 1837; "Teplitz und Seine Mineralquellen," Dresden and Leipsic, 1841; "Teplitz Gegen Lähmung," Dessau, 1855; "Teplitz Gegen Neuralgien," Berlin, 1861; "Sedimente Meiner Praxis an den Thermen zu Teplitz," ib. 1867. He wrote also some poetry. Schmelkes proposed the building of the hospital for invalid soldiers of the kingdom of Saxony, founded at Töplitz in 1849, and was its chief physician until his death.

First of all let me explain 'process art'...process art is all about the creative experience rather than the 'end product'. It allows children the time to see how things work, what they can do with given materials, make their own decision's and be creative in their own unique way.
2. Spin Art with CD's.
3. Tissue Paper Painting.
5. Cotton Wool Splat Painting.
Now I must admit...I HATE cotton wool I have a massive phobia of it, but I love the look of this activity, and the monsters are plenty old enough to tidy up after themselves! I would do this outside though!

I say give the money back.
USDA is going to award North Dakota $300,000 soon under the new $50-million Open Fields program. In the spirit of a "Bridge To Nowhere," North Dakota ought to give the money back.
Open Fields is a new program – dreamed up by Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and others in 2003 – to pay farmers and ranchers to open private land to the public for hunting, fishing, bird watching and other wildlife activites.
It's a nice idea, but it doesn't make much sense when the nation faced a $14 trillion deficit.
Besides, we already have "open field" programs. One is called SIAATLFP" -- stop-in-and-ask-the-landowner-for-permission."
Another is called "parks" – as in city, county, state and national parks.
And we have a payment program – it's called fee hunting.
North Dakota and South Dakota even have their own Open Field programs. But these programs are funded by hunting and fishing fees.
If outdoor enthusiasts want to pay more for licenses and send some of their entertainment dollars to farmers and ranchers so even more people can have access to land, more power to them.
But I don't hear anyone saying they want to pay more taxes.
Send the Open Fields money back.

{"Negative Words Effect Your Day" - selected from the Moms Against Manic Mondays archives due to preparing/welcoming our family's newest arrival!}
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].There are those who speak rashly, like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly, but the mouth of the [self-confident] fool pours out folly.A gentle tongue [with its healing power] is a tree of life, but willful contrariness in it breaks down the spirit.The Spirit of the Lord spoke in and by me, and His word was upon my tongue.Truthful lips shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is [credited] but for a moment.
Proverbs 25:23
The north wind brings forth rain; so does a backbiting tongue bring forth an angry countenance.They have taught their tongues to speak lies; they weary themselves committing iniquity.Is there wrong on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern what is destructive?O deceitful tongue, you love all destroying and devouring words.If anyone thinks himself to be religious (piously observant of the external duties of his faith) and does not bridle his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person's religious service is worthless (futile, barren).Even though the tongue is a little member, and it can boast of great things. See how much wood or how great a forest a tiny spark can set ablaze!And the tongue is a fire. [The tongue is a] world of wickedness set among our members, contaminating and depraving the whole body and setting on fire the wheel of birth (the cycle of man's nature), being itself ignited by hell (Gehenna).
Proverbs 21:23
He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from troubles.
Psalm 30:12
To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Psalm 71:24
My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long
Psalm 119:172
My tongue shall sing [praise for the fulfillment] of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.
1 Peter 3:9-10
Never return evil for evil or insult for insult (scolding, tongue-lashing, berating), but on the contrary blessing [praying for their welfare, happiness, and protection, and truly pitying and loving them]. For know that to this you have been called, that you may yourselves inherit a blessing [from God--that you may obtain a blessing as heirs, bringing welfare and happiness and protection].
For let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good--whether apparent or not] keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from guile (treachery, deceit).
Proverbs 31:26
She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness [giving counsel and instruction].
Psalm 137:6
Let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth if I remember you not, if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy!

They are good reflective names, just as long as you don't pick "South Sudan my new home!"
Solo in South Sudan
Disclaimer: this is likely to be another sentimental post so turn away now if you're not if a soppy disposition!
I have been thinking in the last few days about my time here and in that reflection I have come to realise that nothing was as I expected. I'm not sure I knew what to expect but I remember before the trip being very nervous about the fact that I was making a pretty large step into the unknown on my own. A long term relationship which gad seemed so full of hope had ended in a pretty messy fashion and I think I focused on the fact that I was alone and about to embark on this trip without company.
It is no secret that I hate being alone. I look for company and I'm always surrounded by friends or family. I don't like my own company and the very thought of spending an evening or weekend on my own depresses me completely.
I was so wrong about this trip. Since the very minute I stepped out of the airport in Nairobi, I have been among friends. John Marren collected me from the airport when I arrived and we very quickly became life long friends. He has been a marvellous support and the very dearest friend and I am so thankful that my trip started with his company.
Fr. Tim has been like a big brother to me, supporting me when I needed it and teasing me when that was required too. I have learned much from him. He cares for the people here so deeply and is so committed to education and to the futures of the young people. The people of Narus and indeed much further afield respect him greatly. He is calm and sincere and wise. He always seems to know what the right course of action is and is motivated by the needs of others always before his own. Most of all, I have learned that small kindnesses that seem trivial to us mean the world to other people. I'm really glad that I will have a few days in Nairobi with him. I think saying goodbye to him today too would just be too much!
And John Joe – what have I learned from him! Well, the art of turning reheated beans and rice into a Michelin star serving is not to be scoffed at. I tease Fr. John Joe all the time that he always sees the better in people. I tease him but I deeply respect him for it. He looks at the world through a different lens than me. When people do something I do not agree with or think is right, I get angry about it. I focus on the outcome of that action. Fr. John Joe has a unique way of seeing why a person might act the way they do. I get angry about the corruption that is rife here, he feels for the circumstances that drive people to behave that way.
So you see, with company as I have had, with the friends I have made not just among the Kiltegan priests but the people of Narus I have not once been alone. I have not felt lonely or isolated. On the contrary, I have been amongst the very best of friends and I will always be very thankful for that.
Maybe I should change the name of this blog to "Happy in South Sudan" or "The best version of myself in South Sudan"

Dearbhla Lennon, also a former lead dancer in Riverdance and Lord Of The Dance. She has experienced performing at the top level in Irish dance for years. Like Breandán, she is an expert in the field, and will quickly weed out the chancers from the talented dancers.
Labhrás Sonai Choilm Learraí, a champion Sean-nós dancer, and a fanatical supporter of the older styles of Irish dance completes the judging panel. Labhras, a man who knows what he likes, won't be pulling any punches with such a prestigious prize at stake.
All 3 judges are experts in the field of Irish dance, but will they see eye to eye with such a variety of styles on display? Sparks are sure to fly again on An Jig Gig…..
Any style of Irish dance is eligible for the show. Also, there are no age restrictions on contestants. The number of people in each act is also not restricted, and can range from one upwards.

2 St. Bernard Parish officials plan changes
New sheriff, clerk of court take office
St. Bernard Parish has a new sheriff for the first time in 28 years.
It's also the first time the clerk of court title has passed from the Torres family since 1956.
Two men plan to shake things up in their new political positions in Saint Bernard Parish.
Chief Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann proudly accepted his promotion to sheriff. The 28-year veteran of the force replaces Sheriff Jack Stephens, who is retiring.
Minutes after being sworn in, Pohlmann laid out his aggressive attack on drugs in the parish.
"There's going to be a big initiative fighting drugs, including getting out there, bringing the fight to the street," said Pohlmann. "(I'll) also (put) a big emphasis on drug education in the school systems."
Pohlmann is a fresh face for many neighbors who have had the same sheriff for nearly three decades, but his predecessor offered strong words of support on Sunday.
"I can't tell you how confident I feel that this sheriff (Pohlmann), that his team that he's putting on the field, that's going to continue to do the outstanding job," said fomer Sheriff Jack Stephens.
Another dramatic change for the parish is new Clerk of Court Randy Nunez.
Nunez ousted the Torres family who ran the Clerk of Court's office since the 1950s.
Nunez plans to introduce technology to his office.
"We want to bring more technology to our office," said Nunez. "We want to make our records more transparent, and our main goal is to make our records available online."
Nunez said residents won't notice changes in the Clerk of Court's office right away. He said it will take some time to implement his new ideas.
Both Pohlmann and Nunez will serve a four-year terms which began July 1.

A hopper is a block that can be used to catch item entities, or to transfer items into and out of containers.
Obtaining[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
A hopper can be obtained by crafting, by breaking a previously-placed hopper with a pickaxe, or by breaking a minecart with hopper.
Breaking[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
To break a hopper, mine it with a pickaxe. If mined with anything but a pickaxe it will not drop itself.
|Breaking time[note 1]
- ↑ Times are for unenchanted tools in seconds. For more information, see Haste § Instant mining.
Crafting[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
A hopper can be crafted from 5 iron ingots and a chest.
|Crafting recipe
|Iron Ingot +
Usage[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
- See also: Tutorials/Hopper
A hopper can be used as a container, as a crafting ingredient, and as a redstone component.
A hopper has an "output" tube at its bottom that can face down or sideways and provides visual feedback of which direction the hopper will output items to if a container is present. To place a hopper, use the Place Block control while aiming at the surface to which its output should face (a hopper will not automatically orient itself to point at a container). To place a hopper so that it faces a container (or other block which has a Use Item interaction), sneak while placing the hopper. A hopper placed while aiming at the bottom of a block will re-orient to face down instead. Hoppers won't change their direction after being placed and aren't "attached" to the container they are facing—the container can be removed and the hopper will continue to face in the same direction.
Hoppers cannot be moved by pistons.[Computer and Console editions] Despite not appearing as a solid block, attached blocks such as rails, levers, tripwire and redstone dust can be placed on top of hoppers (but not on their side).
Container[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
A hopper can be used as a container and has 5 slots of inventory space.
To open the hopper GUI, use the Use Item/Place Block control. To move items between the hopper inventory and the hopper inventory or hotbar while the hopper GUI is open, drag or shift-click the items. To exit the hopper GUI, use the Esc control.
By default, the GUI of a hopper is labeled "Item Hopper". A hopper's GUI label can be changed by naming the hopper in an anvil before placing it, or by using the blockdata command (for example, to label a hopper at (0,64,0) "Alice's Hopper", use
blockdata 0 64 0 {CustomName:"Alice's Hopper"}).
A hopper can be "locked" (or subsequently unlocked) by setting the hopper's
Lock tag with the blockdata command. If a hopper's
Lock tag is not blank, the hopper cannot be accessed except by players holding an item with the same name as the
Lock tag's text. For example, to lock a hopper at (0,64,0) so that only players holding an item named "Alice's Key" can access the hopper, use
blockdata 0 64 0 {Lock:"Alice's Key"}.
Crafting ingredient[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
A hopper can be used to craft a minecart with hopper.
Redstone component[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
- See also: Redstone circuit
A hopper can be used to suck in item entites above it, or to transfer items to or from other containers.
Hoppers are redstone mechanisms and can be activated by:
- An adjacent active power component: for example, a redstone torch (except that a redstone torch will not activate a hopper it is attached to), a block of redstone, a daylight sensor, etc.
- An adjacent powered block (for example, an opaque block with an active redstone torch under it)
- A powered redstone comparator or redstone repeater facing the hopper
- Adjacent powered redstone dust configured to point at the hopper (or on top of it) or directionless; a hopper is not activated by adjacent powered redstone dust that is configured to point away from it.
A hopper's behavior is the opposite of most redstone components, in that it performs actions while not activated and stops performing actions when activated. Thus, an unactivated hopper is described as enabled and an activated hopper is described as disabled.
An enabled hopper can do three things (all at once):
- suck item entities (free-floating items in the world) into its inventory from the space above it
- pull a single item into its inventory from a container above it
- push a single item from its own inventory into a container it is facing
Item entities can be sucked in if they are anywhere within the block's space above the hopper, so can be sucked in even if sitting on a partial block above the hopper (for example, on a slab) or even if inside a full block above the hopper (because they are rising up through solid blocks or because they were summoned there). Item entities will not be sucked in if they are more than one block above the hopper (for example, an item on a block of stone above a hopper will not be sucked in). Hoppers check for item entities above them every game tick and can suck them in even before the item entities are destroyed by lava above the hopper, or before they are picked up by players. Hoppers with containers above them (furnaces, chests, other hoppers, etc.) do not suck in item entities above them (and don't even check for them, reducing the number of updates required by hoppers).
Hoppers have a "transfer cooldown" time. After pulling or pushing items, a hopper will wait 4 redstone ticks (8 game ticks, or 0.4 seconds barring lag) before pulling or pushing again (a transfer rate of 2.5 items per second barring lag). Item pulls and pushes are processed in the same game tick, but pulls are processed before pushes (see schematic, right). Item entities can be sucked in at any time, without affecting the item transfer cooldown time, and can be sucked in as entire stacks (rather than a single item at a time).
A hopper always tries to pull or suck items into the leftmost available slot (either because the slot is empty or because it contains an incomplete stack of the item being pulled), and pushes items from its leftmost slots before it pushes from rightmost slots (it won't start pushing items from its second slot before its first is empty, from its third slot before the first two are empty, etc.) unless the container it is pushing into can only accept items from the hopper's rightmost slots (because the container is full except for incomplete stacks matching the hopper's rightmost items). A hopper won't suck or pull items, even when enabled, if it has no available slots to accept available items (there are no empty slots and no incomplete stacks of items that match available items). Similarly, a hopper pushes items into the top left available slots of containers before the bottom right slots, and will stop pushing items if there are no available slots to push items into.
Some containers interact with hoppers in specific ways:
- Dispenser
- Dropper
- Shulker Box
- Dispensers, droppers, and shulker boxes interact with hoppers normally.
- Beacon
- A hopper can push only diamonds, emeralds, gold ingots, and iron ingots into a beacon. Although the beacon interface usually only allows a single item to be placed in the beacon, a hopper can push an entire stack of items into the beacon's inventory slot. These items can also be removed by a hopper beneath the beacon.
- Brewing Stand
- A hopper above a brewing stand will only fill the top ingredient slot and will only push potion ingredients into that slot. A hopper to the side of a brewing stand will only push water bottles and potions into the bottom three slots (and if there is an ingredient in the top slot, only if the item could be brewed by that ingredient), or push blaze powder into the fuel slot. A hopper underneath a brewing stand will only pull from the bottom three slots, whether the brewing is finished or not – keep the hopper disabled to allow potions to finish brewing.
- Chest
- Trapped Chest
- Large chests and large trapped chests are treated as a single unit: a hopper placed on a large chest will fill up the whole chest, and a hopper underneath a large chest will empty the whole chest. Trapped chests being accessed by a player will disable any adjacent hopper (which is normal behavior for a hopper next to an active power source).
- Furnace
- A hopper above a furnace will only fill the ingredient slot but will push any items, even items that can't be smelted in a furnace. A hopper to the side of a furnace will only fill the fuel slot and will only push items into that slot that can be used as fuel in the furnace. A hopper below a furnace will only pull from the furnace's output slot (except that it will also pull empty buckets from the furnace's fuel slot left over from using a lava bucket as fuel). A hopper removing items from a furnace will not produce experience points.
- Hopper
- A sequence of three or more hoppers, each pushing items into the next, is known as a hopper pipe. Horizontal hopper pipes simply transfer items at the expected rate of 2.5 items per second, but vertical hopper pipe behavior can be difficult to understand because the hoppers are both pulling and pushing items between them. If a vertical hopper pipe pulls items from a container, it will simply transfer items at 2.5 items per second (because the transfer rate is limited by the first hopper pulling items from the container), but if a stack of items is in a vertical pipe (because an item stack entity was sucked in, or placed there by a player) the items will be transferred twice as fast because the hopper with the item stack is pushing items down while the hopper below it is also pulling items down.
- Because pulls and pushes occur in the same game tick, a redstone comparator measuring the fullness of a hopper in a hopper pipe will usually simply stay powered as a continuous stream of items flows through (instead of blinking on and off for each item), but certain hoppers in a vertical hopper pipe may never power their comparators even with a continuous stream of items because their items get pulled out of them one game tick after the items are pushed into them, which doesn't produce a state long enough for a comparator to measure (comparators need inputs at least 1.5 redstone ticks long to produce an output).
- Minecart with Chest
- Minecart with Hopper
- Hoppers will fill minecarts with chests or hoppers if any part of the minecart is in the space the hopper is pointing at. Hoppers can also take items from minecarts above them (rails can be placed directly on top of hoppers). A hopper will not unload a minecart that is on a detector rail above the hopper, because the detector rail will disable the hopper (which is normal behavior for a hopper next to an active power source).
- Ender Chest
- Hoppers cannot remove items from or place items into ender chests. They do not interact with them in any way.
A disabled hopper does not pull items from above (including item entities) or push them out, but may receive items from other droppers and hoppers, and may have its items removed by another hopper beneath it. To stop item transfer in a horizontal hopper pipe, only one hopper needs to be disabled, but to stop item transfer in a vertical hopper pipe, it is necessary to disable two hoppers in a row (because if a single hopper is disabled, the hopper above it can still push items into it and the hopper below it can still pull items from it).
Data values[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Natural Farming: a paradigm shift
After being under siege of the irrigation and chemical-intensive Green Revolution for over six decades, agriculture is now in the throes of a revolutionary change. Over 1,63,000 farmers on some 1,50,000 acres of farmland spread across six agro-climatic zones in Andhra Pradesh have successfuly demonstrated that farming without chemicals is a profitable possibility, and that higher yields could be achieved by reducing external inputs and water.

Motivation to Save: A Simple Solution?
Quiz: by socking away $400 per month, earning 10 percent on your money, you can save $302,412 in 20 years. So, how much would you have in that same account in 40 years?
Yes, it's more than double. But how much more?
Most Americans can't do the math, explains Craig McKenzie of the University of California, San Diego's Rady School of Management, in this video. And if they can't do the math, then they are unable to comprehend how much easier their lives would be if they took advantage of the enormous benefits of starting to save early for their retirement.
That's hardly surprising. What is surprising, however, is that McKenzie, a cognitive psychologist by training, experimented with a "simple, straightforward intervention" to get the point across to research subjects of the large boost to saving of earning compound interest over many years. Even better, it succeeded in motivating them to save, he said.
The solution is, as promised, simple – so easy that employers who offer 401ks, as well as mutual fund companies, banks and credit unions, could easily implement it.
To learn about how it works, watch this video in which he presents his findings at Rand Corp.'s 2012 Behavioral Finance Forum in Washington in July. To watch other conference videos, go to Rand's website.
P.S. The answer to the question in the first paragraph is $2,336,889.

Parmalee Excited to Open for Willie Nelson at the Taste of Country Music Festival
The men of Parmalee call opening for Willie Nelson a lifetime achievement, but it's just the latest high of a 10-year career speckled with struggle and tragedy.
Matt and Scott Thomas, Josh McSwain and Barry Knox wrote their current single 'Carolina' in 2007, and since then everything has changed -- yet their mission remains the same. We caught up with the full band to talk about their music, next month's Taste of Country Music Festival and how things are different following the 2010 shooting that nearly took drummer Scott Thomas.
Parmalee are a group of realists who subscribe to mottos like "We'll believe it when we see it," but also, "the harder you work the luckier you'll get." The four have known each other since they were kids, with the Thomas brothers being cousins to Knox, and McSwain being a longtime friend of the three. Their country education began early, playing for and with their father in the bars and clubs of rural eastern North Carolina.
The group says they were a rock band with a country soul. The goal was always to move to Nashville, but when Scott Thomas was shot during a robbery at a club called the Money in Rock Hill S.C., they found a new focus and sense of urgency. The song 'Another Day Gone' is about the incident, during which Thomas shot and killed one of the men who attempted the robbery. The other ended up in the hospital, while his brother -- who had a gun put to his head -- escaped unharmed.
"(It's) Just the idea that you're never guaranteed another day and you need to make amends if you wanna make amends with them before you're not here anymore," he says when asked to describe the song. The emergency doctor gave him a five percent chance to live, and he was unable to walk for quite some time.
The response across North Carolina was swift and overwhelming. Fans came from all four corners of the state to participate in benefit shows and fundraisers that eased the burden of over $500,000 worth of medical bills. Thomas had health insurance, but he reached his cap. It's this showing of support that let the guys know they had something special and little time to waste.
"It put a new sense of urgency. Like, 'We've been doing the right thing, let's continue to do this and full steam ahead.'" Today he says he's at 80 percent physically. Fans at the Taste of Country Music Festival won't notice any drop in output. Parmalee and the LoCash Cowboys open for Willie Nelson and the Family Band on June 13. It's the first day of the three-day inaugural event in Hunter, N.Y.
"That's gonna be fun, man," Matt Thomas told ToC. "Chris and Preston (of the LoCash Cowboys) are good friends of ours. We're actually cutting one of their songs … get to play it for them for the first time."
The opportunity to play in front of Nelson speaks for itself. Of course, when the legend is nearby there's always the possibility that of scoring an invite to his tour bus... But how would Parmalee respond?
"You gotta take that invitation man, come on," they say, laughing.
They may have a heavy history, but Parmalee is something of a party band. "We're not a party band," guitarist McSwain says, jokingly adding, "we just like to party."
With songs like 'Day Drinking, 'Staring Down the Barrel of a Shot Glass' and the Top 40 hit 'Musta Had a Good Time,' one can be sure the group will energize the crowd early.
