Couple Donates $100,000 To Goodwill … By Accident
A couple in Ohio accidentally dropped off a duffel bag containing almost $100,000 at an Ohio Goodwill. Thanks to a couple of honest employees, they got back every dime. The employees at the Zanesville, Ohio, Goodwill were going through donations last week when they came across a duffel bag. Inside the bag was $97,004, a living will and marriage certificate. At first they thought the cash was fake, employee Kelsey Croy told CNN. “It was so much cash they figured it was fake at first and then thought, ‘Well no, maybe it’s actually counterfeit money,'” Croy said. “So they brought it into the store office. “I looked in the bag and we counted it right there on the desk. And it was $97,004.” Thankfully, the owners asked for a receipt for tax purposes when they dropped off the goods that morning. The employees immediately called the couple but no one answered. Not wanting to leave that amount of cash in the store, they called in the Zanesville Police Department and it was eventually returned to the owners. The couple told police their bank was closing. So, they withdrew all their money to move it to another bank. On the way to the new bank, they stopped at Goodwill to drop off a bag of clothes. That’s how the money ended up there. READ MORE

Rise Against Interview: “Naming Wolves”
Rise Against Interview: “Playing In London/Musical Influences”
Daniel Day Lewis retires from acting
Daniel Day Lewis is widely regarded as one of the greatest film actors of all time. From ‘Gangs of New York’ to ‘The Last of the Mohicans’, he has displayed a trans-formative power on screen that very few posses. When DDL is in a movie, he is the character he’s portraying. So it was sad to read today according to Variety, that Day Lewis is retiring from acting at the age of 60.
In a statement, Day-Lewis’ spokeswoman, Leslee Dart, confirmed the news: “Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor. He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years. This is a private decision and neither he nor his representatives will make any further comment on this subject. ” He goes out on top with a career spanning four decades and four Oscar awards on his mantle place. His last movie an untitled drama has already been filmed, and will see Day Lewis collaborate again with the well regarded Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed Day-Lewis to a best actor Oscar in 2007’s “There Will Be Blood.
My personal favorite role of Lewis’s is his performance in the emotional drama ‘In the Name of Father’ where he played Gerry Conlon, an Irish man who is believed to have committed a pub bombing with his father and is jailed by English officials.
Toni Cornell’s letter to Chris for Father’s Day
Sunday was a month since he left. Sunday was also the first father’s day his children spent without him.
Chris Cornell’s daughter Toni wrote him a beautifully heart-breaking letter on his facebook page, copied below:
Daddy,
Let me start by saying how much I love you and how much you mean to me. You are my idol, someone I’ve always looked up to. You were always there for me. You pushed me forward every day, and you still do.
Whenever I cry or feel like there’s no way I can go on, I hear your voice, “Don’t sit worrying peanut. Worry is a waste of time, I’m ok.”
I always took what you said to heart. Probably because everything you said was so smart.
Every time you came home from tour you spent all your hours with us. No matter how tired you were, how many time zones you traveled, you were there for us.
Whenever I was sick you would take care of me. You would cuddle with me, hug me, kiss me. You didn’t care about getting sick. You would stay up all night to make sure my fever went down. And if it didn’t, you would wake me up and give me my medicine. I would open my eyes, see you, and feel better.
I have so many memories with you but one of my favorite ones was earlier this year when I was jetlagged and we watched ‘Purple Rain ‘. We were staying at the BHH and you came into my room when I was trying to find a movie to watch.
“How about Purple Rain?” you said. I always trusted your judgement. I put it on and immediately fell in love! We then got to your favorite song, ‘The Beautiful Ones’.
“This song is so special it doesn’t even belong in a genre. When I was in my twenties, I saw this in the theatre and some guy started cracking up laughing at this scene and song. It got me really mad, ” you said.
I fell in love with the song too and listened to it on repeat.
Our special connection was always the arts. Poems, books, music, writing. We both have a unconditional love for it.
Who’s going to introduce me to movies like ‘Purple Rain’ and songs like ‘The Beautiful Ones’ now? I’m hoping I will find some because you trained me so well.
I know you are still here, and the warmth I feel beneath the cold, is you.
YOU ARE THE BEST FATHER IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. And I know, that if this wasn’t an accident, you’d still be cuddling with me watching ‘Purple Rain’.
I love you and miss you so, Daddy. You deserve your own day to be celebrated because you are the best dad anyone could ever have. Happy Father’s Day!
Love,
Your Baby Toni

Barbie’s Ken doll is getting a man bun and a dad bod
Mattell, the company behind the Barbie dolls announced this week they are adding more diversity in look and style to their upcoming dolls. The new male dolls will feature a variety of different body types including one many speculate is a ‘dad bod’ and of course, a doll in tank top with a man bun. Is that last one going to be in line for beer at Lollapalooza?
Another point that’s worth noting in these new updates is ethnic diversity which is a positive thing for children to learn when playing.
According to a report in USA Today, Mattell will release 15 new types of Ken dolls with the new looks. it is the biggest update to long running doll line in 56 years. The new toys will be available on July 8th. “By continuing to expand our product line, we are redefining what a Barbie or Ken doll looks like to this generation,” said Lisa McKnight, senior vice president and general manager of Barbie.
Comedian Amy Schumer was set to play the roll of the doll with it all ‘Barbie’ in a live action film earlier this year, but she dropped out in March. The planned movie is set to be released next Summer.
On her Comedy Central series, Schumer spoofed the doll toy craze with a sketch that our Moms would likely describe as ‘inappropriate’.
