My fiancè’s engagement ring. We’re both very happy with how it turned out. Now we just have to decide on when we’re getting married.

While on assignment in Namibia for National Geographic magazine,  Frans Lanting captured this surreal landscape image in a location called  Dead Vlei. Due to the nature of the lighting in the frame, the  photograph appears almost like a painting.

I quite agree!
‘There’s no need to call me sir, Professor.’
‘Wow, I wonder what it’d be like to have a difficult life?’
[‘Listening to the news! Again?’] ‘Well, it changes every day, you see.’
‘Yeah, Quirrell was a great teacher. There was just that minor drawback of him having Lord Voldemort sticking out the back of his head!’
‘Have you ever let it slip that you’d like to go out in public with the words My Sweetheart round your neck?’
‘This is night, Diddykins. That’s what we call it when it goes all dark like this.’

I quite agree!

 To those who Occupy: We stand with you.
We, the Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors, compelled by our personal  convictions and our Company’s mission and values, wish to express our  deepest admiration to all of you who have initiated the non-violent  Occupy Wall Street Movement and to those around the country who have  joined in solidarity.  The issues raised are of fundamental importance  to all of us.  These include:

The inequity that exists between classes in our country is simply immoral.

We are in an unemployment crisis.  Almost 14 million people  are unemployed.  Nearly 20% of African American men are unemployed.   Over 25% of our nation’s youth are unemployed.

Many workers who have jobs have to work 2 or 3 of them just to scrape by.

Higher education is almost impossible to obtain without going deeply in debt.

Corporations are permitted to spend unlimited resources to  influence elections while stockpiling a trillion dollars rather than  hiring people.
 
We know the media will either ignore you or frame the issue as to who  may be getting pepper sprayed rather than addressing the despair and  hardships borne by so many, or accurately conveying what this movement  is about.  All this goes on while corporate profits continue to soar and  millionaires whine about paying a bit more in taxes. And we have not  even mentioned the environment. We know that words are relatively easy but we wanted to act quickly to  demonstrate our support.  As a board and as a company we have actively  been involved with these issues for years but your efforts have put them  out front in a way we have not been able to do.  We have provided  support to citizens’ efforts to rein in corporate money in politics, we  pay a livable wage to our employees, we directly support family farms  and we are working to source fairly traded ingredients for all our  products. But we realize that Occupy Wall Street is calling for systemic  change.  We support this call to action and are honored to join you in  this call to take back our nation and democracy.    — Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors
