Walmart announced Wednesday that in an effort to boost employee morale, it will no longer play Céline Dion 's music. During a shareholders meeting in Fayetteville, Ark., a puppet character named Willie joked that being a Walmart store worker was getting dangerous. Per The Washington Post , when Mike Moore, executive vice president of supercenters, asked why, Willie said, "One of my fellow associates recently developed a serious eye-tic from hearing Céline Dion's greatest hits on loop in our stores." Justin Bieber was also named as one of the singers whose music has been driving employees crazy. Going forward, Walmart said it will have a DJ based in its corporate marketing department who will pick the music that is played all the stores. According to The New York Times , the retail giant had previously let stores to choose their own music, which sometimes led to a single CD being placed on endless loop. Music isn't the only thing getting a makeover, as Walmart is relaxing its dress code. On July 1, workers at the nation's largest private employer will be able to wear khaki or black denim, in addition to pants of the same color allowed before. People in more rigorous jobs will be able to wear T-shirts and blue jeans. Workers will still have to buy their own shirts and pants. Walmart is also bringing back the slogan "Our people make the difference" on worker nametags. The changes didn't end there, though. To address worker complaints about store temperatures that could be too cold in winter and too hot in summer, Walmart said it will adjust the store thermostats—controlled from the corporate headquarters—by one degree Fahrenheit. Temperatures at stores in the East and central regions will rise to 75 degrees from 74 degrees. In stores in the West, average temperatures will fall from 76 to 75. Don't cry too hard for Dion; her heart will go on.

personally, I would stick with a PC. More versatile and easier to upgrade.

256k ram? I remember when we had less than that on the computer. I even remember the old 8088 processors. Told you I was old.

Been over 2 weeks and no reply since my last post.

Happy Birthday Gardner. Hope its a splendid day for you.

Unfortunately, it is true. I have seen similar video's where people could not answer basic questions. Further proof is who these dumb asses elect for public office. We have some of the dumbest politicians around and they keep getting re-elected. Doesn't say much for the intelligence of the American People.

that was on another thread. Need FRESH content here.

Living in Washington 25 years I've never heard of it. You are not missing much. the jalapenos and cabbage would kill me.

always more fun to play a game with friends than by yourself.

Co-op?

Seems like an interesting game. Might give it a try.

happy Birthday Larson. Make it a good one. Eat some cake and Ice cream for me.

ROFLMAO......you 2 crack me up.

wow. Where do you guys find this stuff?

My Aunt was one of those old women searched. She had 2 artificial knees and documentation to prove it. Didn't matter to them. She refused to fly after that.

is that a challenge? Like when Brown vs. Wirths?

they are more interested in strip searching grandmothers because they go ding from the metal detectors, even though they have medical documentation the have had joints replaced. They also like to frisk children in wheelchairs. Seems they hire perverts and pedophiles instead of qualified people.

This is what happens when the Government runs an organization. Just like the Post Office, its a terrible failure. They should turn it over to the Airports and let them hire the most qualified people. A recent internal investigation by the Department of Homeland Security has found security failures at dozens of the nations' busiest airports—breaches that allowed undercover investigators to smuggle weapons, fake explosives and other contraband through numerous checkpoints. In one case, an alarm sounded, but even during a pat down, the screening officer failed to detect a fake plastic explosive taped to an undercover agent's back. In all, so-called "Red Teams" of Homeland Security agents posing as passengers were able get weapons past Transportation Security Administration agents in 67 out of 70 tests — a 95 percent failure rate, according to agency officials. Upon learning the initial findings of the Office of Inspector General's report, Secretary Jeh Johnson immediately directed TSA to implement a series of actions, several of which are now in place, to address the issues raised, agency officials said. "The numbers in these reports never look good out of context, but they are a critical element in the continual evolution of our aviation security," Homeland Security officials said in a statement. This isn't the first time TSA officers have failed to detect fake terrorists and their weapons. "Red Teams" have been probing TSA checkpoints for 13 years, often times successfully getting weapons past airport screeners. However, this time TSA agents failed to detect almost every single test bomb and gun, aviation experts said. "It's disturbing news. The question is how we can best mitigate that vulnerability in a way that doesn't prohibit the free movement of people and goods," John Pistole, a former TSA administrator, told NBC News' Tom Costello. "That's just something that there's no perfect answer for." Meanwhile, terrorism experts stress that the threat levels remain high. "There's a continuing drumbeat of interests by terrorist groups whether Al-Qaeda or Al-Qaeda affiliates to try to bring down a western, especially a U.S. bound aircraft," Pistole said.

great articles, great graphics. Well done everyone.

Who does he think he is? Clint Eastwood? bad acting, bad plot. I like it. LOL

A Marine was taking college classes between Deployments to Afghanistan. One of the classes he had to take was taught by a Professor who was an Atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked everyone by walking into class, looking up and stating "God, if you are real, I want you to come down here and knock me off this platform. I will give you 15 minutes." Several minutes ticked by in silence. When the 15 minute time almost expired the Marine got up from his seat, approached the Professor and punched him in the face knocking him off the platform and out cold. The Marine then simply returned to his seat. The professor came to, visibly shaken and asked the marine, "What the hell did you do that for?" The Marine said "God was busy protecting America's military who are out protecting your right to say stupid shit like that, so he sent me to fill in."

Good to know. Ticket Closed.

I agree with the Lt. Upgrade the video card for now and you should get some more years out of it. Put a little aside if you can each month toward building a new one and in a few years you should be able to build a sweet system.

Airborne daddy gonna take a little trip.......yep, know that one

old and tired, and retired.
