A former coworker reached out to me via LinkedIn recently to ask if I'd be willing to serve as a reference for him during his job search. He is leaving the company where I used to work in a role that was semi-managerial. He was a great coworker and valuable member of our team, so I agreed, but I'm not sure what I need to do to be prepared to give him the reference he deserves.
I've never been asked to serve as a reference before, so I honestly don't know what I just agreed to and what the most professional way to approach this is. Most of the advice I've seen is regarding people for whom you don't feel comfortable giving a good reference. Any tips you could provide on what to be sure to mention or avoid and how to stay within the boundaries of professional (rather than personal) comments would be great.

News › Meeting a future Nobel Peace Prize winner
Meeting a future Nobel Peace Prize winner
October 7, 2011 by Anne C. Richard
|Leymah Gbowee Photo: Michael Angelo for Wonderland
Today the recipients of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize were announced. They are Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Tawakkul Karman and Leymah Gbowee. The three women were honored for 'their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work.'
I first heard the name Leymah Gbowee only a few weeks ago. About 30 of us had gathered to hear the 39-year-old Liberian executive director of the Women, Peace and Security network speak on a Friday in mid-September, all unaware that we were listening to a future Nobel Peace Prize winner. Vital Voices, the organization that trains and promotes emerging women leaders from around the globe, had invited me to hear Gbowee speak about her just-published memoir and her involvement in the forthcoming PBS series, Women, War & Peace.
We watched a short clip from the non-violent protest Gbowee had organized in Monrovia, Liberia's capital, beginning in 2002. Then Gbowee spoke eloquently about her personal experiences involving women in building bridges across ethnicities, nationalities and religions – trying to bring peace to a country that had been torn apart by vicious civil war.
When it came time for questions, I asked: what is your relationship with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf? As soon as the question left my lips, I could see Ms. Gbowee react with a smile. Or was it a frown? It was hard for me to interpret the look on her face. Did she get the same question all the time? Did she dislike the former World Bank official who is revered in Washington?
"I'm not trying to stir up trouble," I explained. "But it is rare to meet a woman leader from Liberia in Washington. You are only the second I've heard."
Indeed Gbowee knew Johnson Sirleaf, had known her for years, and she went on to describe a relationship that sounded like it had had its ups and downs. Gbowee, after all, is one of the 95% of Liberian citizens who are indigenous. Johnson Sirleaf is considered "Americo-Liberian" or descended from freed American slaves who went "back to Africa" in the first half of the 19th Century and then governed Liberia for most of its history.
Gbowee then described how she had boldly suggested to the president that her administration undergo a "peer review" process. When Johnson Sirleaf agreed, Gbowee organized a series of remarkable meetings with women and girls from both the capital and the countryside. Each meeting was designed to identify and alert the government to their problems — from voter registration to teen prostitution — and discuss solutions. Mid-way through one meeting, Johnson Sirleaf summoned government ministers to listen along and join the conversation.
Today the woman who dared a president to talk to ordinary citizens about their everyday struggles shares a Nobel peace prize with Africa's first elected female president, a woman unafraid to accept the dare.
Anne C. Richard is the International Rescue Committee's vice president for Government Relations and Advocacy.

I and many others are still
Submitted by Peggy Lauer (not verified) on October 12, 2011 - 6:16pm.
I and many others are still mourning the death of our courageous and wonderful friend Wanagari Maathai of Kenya's--and the world's--Green Belt Movement. When she won the Nobel Peace Prize, we were thrilled that she would be recognized in this way. Like her, these two women from Liberia, and the other from Yemen, have put everything at risk to enhance life and livelihoods of other women and their families, This shows there is a new consciousness taking hold, and moving us away from the darkness. Thank you for all you do at IRC.

The Steinway's last chord lingers on the spring air as a slinky blonde winds down a staircase to stand beside a balding guy, a whiff of martini about him.
"Dearly beloved," a voice rises toward the high ceiling. Everyone grows sober.
Everyone, that is, except Prince, the lone quadruped invited to the wedding of the late Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart. He pads into the hallway of the Big House at Malabar Farm and sprawls across the feet of the presiding judge.
Suddenly, it's Bogart, Bacall and boxer at the center of the most famous wedding of 1945.
The improbable pair—she 20, he 45—are the honored guests of Mary and Louis Bromfield at Malabar Farm in Pleasant Valley, Ohio. With Prince, Bromfield's favorite boxer, as best dog.
Life-long friends reunite for Bogart's wedding in Ohio
Bogart and Bromfield had been pals for decades, back to their early careers in New York.
"Bromfield was a play critic for Music News magazine, and Bogart was just starting out," says Sybil Burskey, administrative assistant at Malabar Farm State Park. "They became fast friends."
The Twenties roared for Bromfield, whose 1926 book, Early Autumn, won the Pulitzer Prize.
By 1939, Bromfield returned to his native Ohio to start Malabar, 385 acres in Pleasant Valley, 70 miles north of Columbus.
For all his overalls and crop rotations, Bromfield could be bi-coastal. He hobnobbed in New York and rode the rails to Los Angeles to see how his words were being treated on the silver screen.
He'd catch up with Bogart, now with wife No. 3, actress Mayo June Methot. They were the Battling Bogarts, famous for trashing hotel rooms.
Lauren 'Betty' Bacall—'The Look' was Hollywood's newest starlet
Into this volcanic marriage stepped 18-year-old Betty Bacall, fresh from New York. She was cast opposite Bogart in "To Have or Have Not."
Bogart checked out Bacall's screen tests and told her, "We'll have a lot of fun together."
Within a month, they were popping into each other's dressing rooms between takes, emerging with rumpled clothes.
The wheels of the Bogart-Methot divorce started to churn and Bogart was invited to speak at a Chicago rally.
"Meet me in Chicago," he's reported to have told Bacall. "I've got a job to do there. Then we'll go to Louis Bromfield's farm and get married. Might as well kill two birds with one stone."
Bacall would have no flowery proposal, but she certainly had what she wanted.
Bogart and Bacall left LA May 18 for their four-day wedding trip.
A homespun affair in the country air of Pleasant Valley
In Ohio, Bromfield and his secretary were handling the details, down to the blood tests, marriage license, judge, cake, even Bacall's pin curls.
"The happy house went to sleep at a late hour—it was not a night for sleep," Bacall recalled in her autobiography. "We managed a few hours. I had to rise to roll up my hair so as not to frighten the groom."
"I've met the woman who rolled her hair," said a manager at Malabar Farm. "She'd just gotten out of beauty school. She washed Betty's hair and put it in pincurls. She got a $5 tip, which then was quite a bit."
Judge Herb Schettler of Mansfield Municipal Court stood in the front hall as Bacall descended the stairs and Bogart, fortified with martinis, waited beside his best pal, Bromfield.
"I couldn't marry unless Louis were the best man," Bogart quipped. "By the third time, he'll be good."
The Bromfields' daughter Hope, who would later catch the bouquet, played Lohengrin's Wedding March.
The one unplanned moment? Prince the boxer, the only dog allowed in the house, ambled in and sprawled across Judge Schettler's feet.
Twin beds for the honeymoon?
The Bogarts spent their first wedded night in a large bedroom suite. The flowered wallpaper, ceramic roosters and Audubon prints are unchanged—as are the twin beds with wheels.
Years later, "a woman who had toured the house went to a program where Lauren was speaking in Columbus, Ohio," Burskey recalled. "During the question time, she asked her about the twin beds for the first night of her honeymoon.
'"Darling, don't worry,"' Bacall answered in that smoky contralto. '"We only used one.'"
When you go
Malabar Farm welcomes couples who would like to marry in Bogie and Bacall's footsteps.

A mobile phone game which invites users to drop bombs on Hamas militants in Gaza is removed from Google Play's app store.
12:10, UK, Tuesday 05 August 2014
Google has withdrawn a mobile phone game called "Bomb Gaza" from its app store after an angry backlash online.
The game invites players to "drop bombs and avoid killing civilians", and sees users control a fighter jet while dodging missiles from masked Hamas militants.
The game, which was developed by Play FTW, simulates the continuing violence between Israel and Hamas fighters in Gaza.
A spokesman for Google confirmed the game had been removed from the Google Play app store, saying: "We remove apps from Google Play that violate our policies".
Many users took to Play FTW's Facebook page to express their outrage at the game.
Carly Hassan Ali Madden wrote: "This is disgusting and sick!!! What is wrong with you people?"
Another user, Deen Mohammed Shajeeb, wrote: "plz quit this game from facebook".
Israel launched a military operation in Gaza on July 8 with the stated intention of ending "persistent" Hamas rocket attacks over the border.
It subsequently launched a ground offensive aimed at destroying cross-border Hamas tunnels.
More than 1,880 Palestinians and 64 Israeli soldiers have lost their lives since the conflict began.

2010 Forza III Comp thoughts and sugestions.
Please use this thread to discuss any thoughts, ideas and formats you would like to see for the TOG International -2010 FORZA III competition.
You will find the driver registration thread here.
Keep in mind that this will be an International comp, so a time trails based comp is most likely he basis of the format.
This however does not stop the formation of regional live racing comps, etc.
We need some one to coordinate this comp, so If anyone would like to put their hand up to take charge, that would be greatly appreciated.
Any questions, please PM me.
|21st December 2009, 01:22 PM

i don't think so. I think you can select a time trial for a specific track, but go on the global board......
Other suggestions are set up a private match (after agreeing terms) then run how ever many races (non collisions maybe) you pick your car at the start then stick with it the whole time, then the game will give you the points after each race and tally them progressively. If you tune, change, upgrade, the system resets like you've just joined.
you could also have a race a night and keep tally on the forum. that would enable tunes, changes etc.
|9th January 2010, 09:25 PM
|#5 (permalink)
hey guys, just a thought:
we could use the time trial times for a comp... say we decide on a track we want to compete on for one night /week /month?. The racer closest to the top of the World Rankings at the end is the winner.
could be a good way of getting some TOG racers up the top in the standings of the leaderboards

M2R ! How does one fall for a scammer named Jiggaman? That;s just taking the piss really.
Three West African defendants pleaded guilty to federal charges of running an advance-fee scheme that targeted U.S. victims with promises of millions of dollars, including money from an estate and a lottery. The guilty plea proceedings were held this week before US Magistrate Judge Ramon E. Reyes, Jr. at the federal courthouse …
M2R ! How does one fall for a scammer named Jiggaman? That;s just taking the piss really.
So where does personal responsibility end? If you are stupid enough to send money to some bloke you've never met then you deserve everything you get.
Paris would never fall for that...
Dear DoJ,
I have $48M in my account, but because you've frozen my assets, I need you to send me $500 so I can bribe my local bank manager and send you my fine.
Please send cash to my brother in Lagos
Not long enough.
20 years amonst 419 people isn't too harsh a sentence?
Sorry :o)
Why not long enough?
Although some 419 scams end in bodily harm or worse, this case looks like the (unstated) losses were purely financial - even if you think large financial losses justify a comparably large prison sentence then 20 years already seems quite harsh compared to the sentences handed out to Enron execs (mostly 3-6 years for fraud of tens of millions, or just 24 years for Mr Skilling, guilty of $11 *billion* in fraud).
>Why not long enough?
Where are these joke alert tags when you need them...
>M2R ! How does one fall for a scammer named Jiggaman?
Well, the email looked like it was a genuine offer! And think about the financial gains! Free money!
Set up a penal colony in Tierra del Fuego, or on Ross Island. Permanent relocation.
Hey, it worked for Australia.
I remember the 'throat cancer' ones. The best bit was when she introduced herself as the "wife of the late Engineer/Barrister/whatever Lord Hennings, an Englishman who is dead."
Wife of an Englishman who is dead. Classic.
Don't gerrit.
Crimes committed in Netherlands. Extradition to US.
If: crimes committed in US, targeting (say) Netherlands citizens, where does the trial happen? Netherlands?
Yeah. I know the answer. US, of course. Silly me, forgetting the location of the World Police (self-appointed). Probably claiming jurisdiction because - er - Internet backbone in America/they must've used DNS servers based there/ ___________ (fill in the blank) etc.
I regret to inform you that your Uncle Mr. Car Reg has passed away while working as computer nerd in Nigeria's rapidly developing tech sector.
He passed away leaving an estate worth 419 million dollars. He wanted this money to go to you.
To claim this money please send me one arm and leg as well as your first born child.
Jiggaman @ spam419.com.ng
So not only do we have to deal with spam from these and people like these, but now I need to stump up my hard-earned tax dollars to keep them locked away in prison, too? That's just a slap in the face. I have a feeling that's not what the tax system was originally started for.
And I agree about personal responsibility. If you're stupid enough to send money to these people, I have little or no sympathy for you. There's a saying -- if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. You do not get unsolicited (legitimate) offers for millions of dollars/pounds, period. End of story. If you really did have a long-lost relative who died and you're in the will, an attorney will contact you by phone or letter, not by email. I would suggest that people be trained to read full emails (including headers), but since people can't even avoid "bad" websites, it wouldn't do any good. Then again, clients like Outlook make it difficult to impossible to see the full email anyway.
that i won't get my share of the 55m untill these guys get out of jail???
The Nederlands have joints the US has torture. Plus gang wars. Might be good.
I hope so!
Say did not these thieving wankers contribute towards the death of a preacher shot in the back by his wife one Mary Winkler on March 22nd 2006 in Tennessee !
He says she says but he can't say because he is dead and his character becomes fair game for every lie in town !
If ordinary people are finger printed and photographed to help keep the bad guys out, why, then, does the US want to import bad guys? Is the department of homeland security aware of what the department of justice are doing?
Left hand, may I introduce Right hand.
On the one hand, we have people who are so irredeemably moronic that they transfer money to the bank account of a complete stranger on risible and transparently absurd pretexts.
On the other hand, is a 20-year prison sentence too harsh for the scamsters who bring a reality check to those morons?
The former richly deserve to be fleeced because stupid people with money are a danger to themselves and to the rest of us.
The latter are scum and lowlife whose spam irritates the rest of us. Causing irritation by unsolicited email should carry a minimum term of, say, 20 years. The sentence should also take into consideration any offences against English usage and grammar.
I have no sympathy whatsoever with either victim or perpetrator - lock up both of them.
Um - WHY are they being tried in America ??
*thumbsdown only used as 'facepalm' was not available*
Name, may I draw your attention to the first line of the article. Kinda self explanatory that one.
through snail mail the other week. I'd won the spanish lottery apparently.
It was nice of them to send me a black and white letter with a camalot logo in the top right hand corner. Clever thinking that. If it'd come with a stamped addressed envelope id of thought about sending it back..
Hey Graham,
I work for Camelot.(hence Anon. Coward)
If this Scammer used Camelot's Logo then Camelot Security will be VERY interested.
Can you send the letter, or a copy of it to Camelot Head Office in Watford please?

I wrote to Barclaycard asking if we could link the ad to the Blog, but have yet had no reply. So here are a couple of screen grabs…..
ROJ flips his lid and Sir Brian is sent skywards!
I wrote to Barclaycard asking if we could link the ad to the Blog, but have yet had no reply. So here are a couple of screen grabs…..
ROJ flips his lid and Sir Brian is sent skywards!
I should say that despite not being able to drive on the roads, there are plenty of private roads and race tracks where I can indulge myself without any danger to small children or grannies.
Hi, I'm Nigel Ellway, Malcolm's lunatic friend and proud owner of ROJ.
This is me, looking very young, at the wheel of BMT 216A – 007's Aston Martin DB5, taking it VERY carefully through its paces!
It may seem strange that someone who cannot legally drive due to eyesight equivalent of a very shortsighted bat should own two Aston Martins. But that's just it. Little boys when denied something just want it even more!!
I've always been a bit of a petrol-head, so a few years ago I signed up at the college of NW London and did a course in classic car restoration. I was taught to weld, fabricate, paint and trim by some of the most qualified craftsmen in the country.
My first project was a 1974 Vanden Plas 1300 owned by my wife. All I was going to do was repair some rust around the headlamps. (I was just going to….!) I ended up rebuilding the whole front end, replacing the sills and three doors!
I bought my first AMV8 from the production company that made Channel Five's 'Dream Machine'. It had proved too much for them, so of course i thought it would be a doddle for me…..
The past year I spent a (not) small fortune on parts and repair sections, but then I found ROJ.
All my life I have hankered after a 007 Aston, and here was ROJ. Bristling with bogus gadgetry. More Bean than Bond. But I had to have it!
I now have enough bits to build two cars, but after considering a race project, prudence over-came. (No, Prudence is not my wife) and I shall sell off the bits I don't need.
Over the next 12 months We shall strip ROJ to his chassis, rebuild using the factory repair sections, galvanise and paint, so keep an eye on this blog as it will be the official record of the renaissance of ROJ.
Forget the overly expensive mock Bond DB5 mentioned in the last post. We have a genuine Johnny English Mk 3 Aston Martin V8 in the garage.
(well, almost)
Johnny English drove a DB7 in the 2003 film, but the character was inspired by a series of Barclaycard adverts made in the 1990's featuring a bungling spy called Richard Latham (played by Rowan Atkinson).
In one advert filmed in Sardinia, Richard Latham picks up Sir Brian in his Aston V8. In his attempt to find the electric window switch Latham fires off most of the secret agent gadgets on the car. Or course the car had the ejector seat option so Sir Brian was sent skywards.
The V8 has been living in a back garden since the advert and it now needs a little restoration (especially as the entire roof was cut out to film the ejector seat sequence). Fortunately the car has now been rescued to the aston-v8 garage. One day it will live again.
The car belongs to Nigel who will pop up here every now and again to progress the project. He'll be posting about the the ups and downs of a major restoration on the blog (under the username nellway).
We started the engine at the weekend. See the video. The video has sound (but not much picture).
Aston marketing people love the connection between James Bond and the marque. It really is the ultimate in branding.
The engineering team hate the connection. They work really hard designing new models with ever improving handling, power, and quality. Then when launch date comes all the press want to know is whether it'll be in the next Bond film. (The answer at the time of writing is yes by the way).
One of the 4 DB5s used in the Goldfinger film* is for sale. It comes complete with pop out bumpers, machine guns and revolving number plates, but the ejector seat has apparently been "removed for safety".
The car will be auctioned at RM Auctions' Vintage Motor Cars in Arizona to be held in Phoenix, Arizona on Jan. 20, 2006.
See CNN news for the full article.
Browsing through the Aston Martin Owners Club Forum it seems this car was built for promotional purposes after the films were made. amocwebmaster had this to say:
2008/R ….. and one other replica (2017/R), were built in the 60s, after Thunderball had been filmed, purely for tour and promotional use and differs in some obvious details, such as the appearance of the revolving number plate.
Dave Worrall's 'The Most Famous Car in The World' has full details.
I just popped down to the paint shop with a bit of Aston to see if they could mix me up something much the same colour.
Much sucking through teeth and shaking of heads.
They don't have a list of paint codes, we don't know the original paint code and we don't know if it was repainted in exactly the same colour when it was last resprayed.
Some research will be required. I bet the factory keep records of paint codes, and they are some very nice helpful people at Newport Pagnell, so there's a starting point. Otherwise the paint shop will attempt to make a custom colour that looks the same.
I'm Malcolm, the guy responsible for the Aston Martin Restoration on these pages. I'm hoping to write about the last stages of the restoration – the "just need to do this great list of little things and it'll be finished" stage.
Progress on the restoration has been slow for a while – it's not that the car has taken longer than I thought, just I have less time to spend on it than planned. I made the mistake of treating the car as a weekend project. Now I'm going to reorganise my workload a little and treat it as a week day project.
The project has been a good experience. The Aston V8 is a lovely car. I've learned a lot (particularly about aluminium welding). Apart from the aluminium, and the sheer extent of rust, there isn't much on the V8 that couldn't be done by DIY restorers. That's why this website went together – to provide a source of information for other restorers.
The website has been good. I've started to become a little involved in the Aston scene, and there are now 3 Aston V8s at the farm. More on the other ones later…

Pizza-Delivering Drones? Domino's Gives It A Shot
Domino's Pizza has developed a prototype for aerial pizza delivery. A promotional video follows a custom-built, remote-controlled helicopter as it soars above the countryside carrying two large pizzas. But aviation rules make it unlikely that drone delivery will arrive anytime soon.

Heated seats in my 2013 XTS
I live in WI and recently we have had some very cold weather. When I start my XTS with the remote start the seats are not warmed up when I get to the car even though they are turned on within the CUE system. This is extremely annoying and very disappointing to me with the technology this vehicle is supposed to have. Anyone else notice this issue?

Yes I have. The same issue occurs in my wife's ATS. But I read the following somewhere,perhaps in this forum. When no one is in the seat,the cushion does not come in contact with the heating element despite it being on. Once you sit down it gets warm. I am happy with how quickly my seats heat. They do so faster than in the ATS.
I live in Minneapolis so I can relate to your concern.

Re: Heated seats in my 2013 XTS
The seats on my DTS and my Jeep Grand Cherokee get toasty warm with remote start, even with no one in the car.
Re: Heated seats in my 2013 XTS
I apologize that your seats were not warmed up when you started your vehicle with the remote start system. I would be more than happy to reach out to an internal resource to confirm what CTSCHICK has stated as well if you would like me to. I would just need you to provide me with your VIN in a private message or email to firstname.lastname@example.com with "ATTN GREG" in the subject line. I hope to hear from you soon.

Re: Heated seats in my 2013 XTS
I complained about this same issue in January of 2013. Dealer says they are on but that the seat is so thick you don't feel it for awhile until you sit in them. I say they are wrong. If they were on why don't you see the lights on the panel being on. So many problems with this car. the response from customer service here does nothing to solve problems. They call the dealer and the dealer calls you and then you are back where you started. Look at the number of complaints on this forum page about the quality of the car. My issues are now being addressed at the executive directors level and we will see if anything gets done. $60K for a car that rattles and a CUE system that has nothing but problems. This is my 5th and last Cadillac but Cadillac doesn't care.

I have a 2013 ATS. My seats don't heat up either, from a remote start. Reading that line in the manual about the lights makes it sound as if the seats heat but lights won't be on. I don't believe that is the case. The heated steering wheel doesn't turn on during a remote start either. Combine these shortfalls with the weak HVAC control in the ATS (poor auto temperature control) and even after running for ten minutes after remote start the car is not warmed up at all. Disappointing and I hope these systems can be improved.

Alex Marans of Dalton M
Dalton M has recently posted a new demo on their MySpace page called FlightsTelephonesSnow. Listen to it HERE.
Lead singer/songwriter Alex Marans tells the Local Music Examiner that FlightsTelephonesSnow is even further away from the sound of the EP he's been working on for the past couple of months than the first demo released titled Goodbye 50's. I find this news somewhat disheartening as I can't tell if I like FlightsTelephonesSnow even more than I liked Goodbye 50's upon first listen.
Its clear at this point that Dalton M has what it takes to make a great song, the question is what direction the EP is going to go in. Last time the Local Music Examiner talked with Alex he mentioned how he was loving the new solo album of Strokes' front man Jules Casablancas. Might we expect a synth heavy EP from Dalton M? We're all going to have to wait and see, but make sure you keep checking back with the Local Music Examiner as we are sure to have the most up-to-the-minute news on everything Dalton M.

may 2012
Eighth grade students from Lisha Kill Middle School visited New York City on a class trip in May. They took a ferry to Ellis Island and Liberty Island. On Ellis Island they saw the Baggage Room, Registry Room, and the Stairs of Separation. They also visited the "Through America's Gate" exhibit and learned more about the experiences of immigrants coming to the America in the 1900's. After lunch at South Street Seaport, the students took the Big Onion walking tour through several ethnic neighborhoods in lower Manhattan, including Chinatown and Little Italy. On the tour, students got to sample some typical ethnic foods including fresh mozzarella cheese, Chinese green tea and red bean ice cream, halvah, pickles, and spicy tofu. The day before the trip, the eighth graders took part in Immigration Day. That day included a speaker from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. Students also moved through different learning stations to learn more about the Statue of Liberty, the Pledge of Allegiance and immigrant life in the early 20th century.

I don't normally cover current events on the blog, I typically sound off about them on twitter or facebook. But since I'm taking a break from social media this month, I couldn't keep my lid on any longer.
On Tuesday morning, a friend texted me to ask if I'd heard about the World Vision scandal. My heart stopped for a moment. Oh no, I thought. What happened? Embezzlement? Harrassment? Worse?
I have privately and publicly supported World Vision for almost two years now, encouraging readers of this blog to sponsor children to donate gifts to this Christian organization that is helping legions of communities all over the world. I have seen their aid in practice when I traveled to Sri Lanka with World Vision in 2012 to witness the work they're doing in poverty-stricken areas.
So, with trepidation, I hit up google. World Vision had announced that, being an interdenominational organization with employees in both churches and states that allow same-sex marriage, they were going to take (what they deemed) a neutral route and leave hiring decisions to the local branches.
Oh. This isn't a scandal. This is an HR decision.
But apparently all holy hell broke loose and for the first time this week I was glad not to be on social media. Evangelicals were so irate about the idea of gay people aiding others that thousands dropped their sponsorships. People didn't even sleep on it. Just dropped those kids.
Points made.
Today, in a not-so-surprising reversal, World Vision reverted their company-wide stance. Their abstinence policy for singles and fidelity policy for marriages remains in place. I find any company's sex contract with an adult employee to be absurd, yet I won't pull the plug on Sewvandi.
Had I responded to this issue yesterday, I would have urged sponsors not to be rash in their decision to withdraw support from World Vision. That where this organization stands on this theological issue has absolutely nothing to do with the food and water provided. Today, I won't be hypocritical about it. I ask that those who are disappointed in the turn of events - even those who might have newly sponsored a child this week because of the first World Vision decision - keep their support in place, at least for now.
Look, I know this can get complicated. I know this is more than just emotional. The Gorilla and I have given and then withdrawn support to a cause when we found out it didn't align with our personal belief systems. But this is a big organization that does a lot of good. I guarantee that not everything we all support hits every mark of everything we profess to believe.
I know it now for sure.
Another friend texted me yesterday afternoon about Goop's Conscious Uncoupling. (See how my friends are loving on me during my fast? The important stuff still finds its way to my phone.)
For the life of me, I still don't understand why everybody hates Gwyneth Paltrow. This is an A-List couple and their divorce is obviously going to be enormous news, I kinda respect the way they did it - on her site, in what appears to be a personally penned note - instead of through representatives on a Friday evening hoping to avoid the major new cycle. (I possibly could have done without the "divorce tips" that came under the letter.)
I read with great interest Graydon Carter's Vanity Fair letter this month about the non-takedown article on GP and why they pulled it. I find these themes fascinating, that not only does the public wield more weight with the media than we imagined, but that the editor of an influential magazine would thoughtfully admit it.
Which brings me to celebrities and magazines. I'm aware that my own taste is shaped significantly by other people. Living in LA makes a difference, too. I'm probably more susceptible to advertising than I ever would have imagined. But still, I thought I was past the stage of life where a celebrity directly influenced my clothing decisions.
And then Marc Jacobs hired Miley Cyrus.
My jaw fell like cement to the floor. For minutes. Marc Jacobs is one of my favorite designers. Day or night, he's one of my first go-to's. Many of my favorite pieces are MJ, and many of the styles I covet are MJ.
Color me snobby, but I do not want what I like to be in the same closet with what Miley Cyrus likes. She's young, with a long way to go, but so far I do not feel a kinship. I'm not gonna ditch any future, un-bought Marc Jacobs clothing. But I might have to wait this out a bit. (I had to mentally fist-bump Jacobs' longtime photographer Juergen Teller for choosing not to shoot this ad campaign because of the star.)
Wearing my heart on a sleeve, who wants to be associated with something that screams to my soul's contrary? I guess that's every bottom line.

It is hard to believe that "Glee" will be back on the air with the season four premiere in a matter of weeks. The show won't be back until September, but the cast is already filming the first two episodes of the season.

Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg won the Australian Grand Prix on Sunday, March 16 at Melbourne's Albert Park circuit. According to Formula 1, the first race of the new turbo V-6 era brought expected retirements, rookie surprises, and an important disqualification when all was said and done in the land down under.
Nico Rosberg completed 57 laps in 1:32:58.710, according to Formula 1, finishing out in front from a third place spot on the grid. Rosberg also set the fastest lap of the race at 1:32.478.
Initially coming in a triumphant second, native Australian Daniel Ricciardo of Red Bull was disqualified hours after the race due to a charge that his team did not follow the required fuel flow rate, a matter the FIA mentioned in its statement was "outside the control of the driver." This meant that third place finisher, rookie Kevin Magnussen of McLaren, took the second spot followed by Jenson Button of McLaren in third. The McLaren two-three finish means that McLaren now jumps out in front in the constructors' championship with 33 points over Mercedes with 25.
Four-time constructor champions Red Bull had problems early on in the race when its quadruple World Champion Sebastian Vettel had to retire after three laps with power unit problems. In all, seven cars and drivers did not complete the race -- besides Vettel, Hamilton of Mercedes; Grojean and Maldonado, both of Lotus; Ericsson and Kobayashi both of Caterham; and Massa of Williams all did not make it to the finish line. Hamilton, who started the race on pole, had power issues that forced him back to the pits.
Finishing positions in the Australian Grand Prix were as follows, according to F1:
1. Rosberg, Mercedes
2. Magnussen, McLaren
3. Button, McLaren
4. Alonso, Ferrari
5. Bottas, Williams
6. Hulkenberg, Force India
7. Raikkonen, Ferrari
8. Vergne, Toro Rosso
9. Kvyat, Toro Rosso
10. Perez, Force India
11. Sutil, Sauber
12. Gutierrez, Sauber
13. Chilton, Marussia
NC Bianchi, Marussia
About his win, Nico Rosberg commented, "It's been an amazing day. I'm just over the moon really. It's incredible, everybody has worked so hard over the winter and now to have such an amazing Silver Arrow to drive is just unreal. This thing was unbelievably quick today and the reliability was good also, so it was just the perfect start to the season. I'm really thankful to Mercedes, they have done an amazing job over the winter."
Hours before the fuel flow disqualification came down, perhaps ironically, Ricciardo was asked about the issue of needing to watch fuel. He said, "Yeah, I think at the start of the race it was a bit of guessing. Some laps I would try and push and not really conserve and then when I felt I had enough gap then I would start conserving. We were basically learning all the time today. First time that we've done a race distance so I think we'll take a lot out of it but in the end I think the system we have to reach the fuel target is not bad, considering we haven't done too much work on that yet. I think we survived quite well."
Rookie F1 driver Kevin Magnussen was asked about McLaren and whether the team that did not stand on the podium at all in 2013 might take advantage of its lead in the constructors' championship now and run with it. He replied, "Yeah, who knows? We will certainly try our best. I know the team is massively motivated to stay on top and they are a team that should be at the top of Formula One. So, what can I say? I'll do my best and they will do their best. Who knows?"
The Formula 1 racing series moves to Kuala Lumpur at the end of the month for the Malaysia Grand Prix, March 28-30.
German Rosberg leads the drivers' championship with 25 points; Dane Magnussen is second with 18. As mentioned above, McLaren now leads the constructors' title after the first race with 33 points with Mercedes' in second at 25.

Enjoying a privileged location midpoint on the Banderas Bay coast, the Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit beaches are beach-goer nirvana, the bay itself offering 34 miles of coastline — and 26 of them beaches! As a rule of thumb, beaches to the north in Nayarit on the Costa Vallarta tend to be longer and wider, the foothills of the Sierra Madre just that little bit further back from the sea than in Jalisco, giving them a different character. South of Puerto Vallarta the mountains actually tumble into the sea in places, so there are lots of small coves and intimate sandy stretches. The water here is deeper and there are fewer people. Sundays are the busiest beach days, the one day of the week that most workers get off and spend with their families. While you might think they would eventually tire of Puerto Vallarta beach-going because they can do it any time they want, Sunday at the beach is a very strong local tradition.
What's your idea of the perfect beach? Maybe it's a stretch of sand lined with trendy shops, restaurants and bars, exacting service and comfy reclining beach chairs under a shady palapa. Or perhaps the thought of a secluded beach with clear water, a picnic lunch and your trusty beach bag full of nautical necessities is your idea of perfection. Or you may love the organized activities, music and high-energy environment typical of beach club-style waterfront resorts. Or maybe you'd prefer some combination of the above. Here in Banderas Bay, you can find them all. And with our handy guide, planning your beach day is as easy as saying, "Surf's up!"
San Pancho: Huge white sandy beach almost vacant even during the winter months. New public changing rooms and showers, with beachside eateries for your convenience. Beach aside, San Pancho is a getaway on its own. Turn to page 158 to discover this peaceful village. Sayulita: Very popular among surfers. Bars, restaurants and surfing schools along the shore. People watching at its finest. Los Muertos (Sayulita): A 10-minute walk south from downtown Sayulita, past the graveyard. Peaceful waters for scuba and kayak, but you must bring your own! Carricitos: This very private beach is a 15- to 20-minute hike from Sayulita, past Los Muertos beach along a dirt road, offering lush, verdant vistas along the way. Very quiet and secluded. Punta Negra (Punta de Mita): This private beach just north of Punta de Mita serves Casa de Mita, a proud member of Mexico Boutique Hotels, along with other residences located along the beach. Great for walking. El Anclote: Small stretch of beach with many traditional eateries makes this an ideal place to bury your feet in the sand and enjoy a relaxing meal. A number of providers offer surfing and kayaking equipment and instruction. Hotel des Artistes offers a day pass. Emiliano Zapata: Currently no restrooms, but new public showers and changing rooms are being built. A considerable walk from the highway, so best reached with your own vehicle. Destiladeras: Peaceful in the summer and popular in the winter, this is the perfect day-trip beach, with enough amenities to keep you comfortable and enough room to walk along the surf for long distances. Bring your book or iPod. La Manzanilla: Just north of La Cruz, this small but popular beach has numerous shops for beach paraphernalia and is home to popular beach seafood restaurant Siete Mares. Bucerías: Long stretch of beach, ideal for jogging, bathing or simply hanging out. Public access is available through downtown Bucerias, past the main plaza, where you will find a number of eateries. Farther south, there are a number of access roads along Lazaro Cardenas, which runs parallel to the ocean, but there are no eateries or services on this side of town. Flamingos: Serves the hotels and developments located in the Flamingos area of Nuevo Vallarta, such as Villa del Palmar Flamingos and Playa del Sol Grand. Nuevo Vallarta: This beach serves the hotels and developments in Nuevo Vallarta, including Paradise Village and Grand Velas, among others.
Boca de Tomates: Located about 1.8 km from the highway on a dirt road, this beach's main attraction may not be the beach itself but, rather, the number of enramadas, or casual eateries that serve a local favorite: pescado sarandeado (page 100). The water is best for swimming from November to May. El Salado: The main beach at Marina Vallarta, its only point of public access is through Albatros St., turning on Bocanegra. It is very popular among Marina Vallarta residents, who flock to the beach for a morning jog or stroll. Walking to the southern point provides spectacular views of cruise ships arriving and departing from Puerto Vallarta's Maritime Terminal. De Oro: Between the Pitillal River and the Maritime Terminal, this beach primarily serves the hotels along that stretch (Krystal, Buenaventura). Holi: So called because of its proximity to the Holiday Inn, this beach is really an extension of Las Glorias. Frequently used to hold outdoor concerts and beach sport tournaments. Los Tules: So called due to its proximity to Los Tules condo-resort, located between the airport and downtown. Las Glorias: This is the beach behind Plaza Las Glorias, serving area hotels, most of which have defined their property lines with rocks. Public access north of Mega. Camarones: The stretch of beach located behind Mega Commercial Mexicana (Fco. M. Ascencio location). Dorada: This is the beach in front of the downtown Malecón. Not commonly used for swimming, as the beach is narrow and rocky, it is an interesting walk during low tide and fronts Puerto Vallarta's famous Malecón, making it an ideal spot for people watching right in the heart of town. Los Muertos (Puerto Vallarta): Without a doubt, the most popular beach in Vallarta and the place for fun! Water and beach sports, great swimming, as well as restaurants and bars in all price ranges make this the best option when you want a little bit of everything. Los Muertos is the only beach in town with its own dock, serving as an arrival and departure point for water taxis heading north or south, as well as day cruise providers picking up passengers along the way. Conchas Chinas: A series of small coves featuring interesting rock formations and tide pools, great for exploring and interesting for children. Away from the hustle and bustle of nearby beaches.
Las Estacas: This beautiful beach is barely 100 meters long and has great swimming for children, but only accessible through the Dreams resort for guests or day pass holders. Los Venados: This beautiful beach accessible only through the Playa del Sol features an artificially made reef that holds back waves for fabulous swimming and snorkeling. Palmares: a beautiful beach just before Garza Blanca. Punta Negra (South of Vallarta) This beautiful beach frequented by fishermen gets busy on the weekend. Limited parking on main highway and a short hike down a paved road to the beach. Gemelas: Twin adjacent beaches, one in front of the Presidente Hotel and the other with public access. Services available for hotel guests or visitors enjoying a day pass. Mismaloya: Lovely beachside restaurants and pangas offering frequent water taxi service to other beaches. Access to the Night of the Iguana set, which used to be an interesting attraction, has been indefinitely blocked. Boca de Tomatlán: The last beach in the South Shore accessible by automobile or local bus. Water taxi service departs to all beaches beyond this point. For adventurous hikers and nature lovers, there is a scenic jungle hike through Colomitos continuing along the coast to Las Animas. Colomitos: A tiny and often deserted beach, barely 100 feet in length, accessible via a hiking trail or water taxi from Boca. Las Ánimas: Family favorite, accessible by water taxi and day cruises. Great for kids due to the gentle surf and long sandy beach. Dive from the dock if you dare! Many kids and adults do. Palapa-shaded beach restaurants and adventure park. Quimixto: Similar to Las Animas, it is a fun day for the entire family and accessed by water taxi and day tours. Las Caletas: This private beach is concessioned by Vallarta Adventures, who offer day-trip and evening options through their spectacular Rhythms of the Night. Majahuitas: Private beach concessioned by Majahuitas Hotel, a common stop offered by boat tours; however, its restaurant and restrooms are only available to hotel guests. Yelapa: Access by day tours or water taxi. You may like this beach so much that you'll be tempted to spend the night!

The Banderas Bay area is a surfing mecca for riders from all over the world. Just stand outside the international arrival area at the local airport to see the numerous visitors arriving daily with their surfboards, especially impressive because of the recent baggage restrictions and escalating fees for excess and overweight items.
The body board, a.k.a. boogie board, is shorter than a surfboard and made of foam. Riders generally lie prone on the board, although some prefer drop-knee (kneeling on one knee) or standup. These boards are best suited for hollow, tube-like waves.
Traditional wakeboarding combines the sports of surfing, snowboarding and waterskiing. The rider is strapped into bindings on a foam board similar to a snowboard and pulled behind a boat while holding onto a cable, as in waterskiing. However, a modified style of this sport is popular with children, who put their board on the water along the edge of the beach, then run and jump on it to skim the surface while standing.
Look below for a list of the most popular surf spots in the area, many of which have rentals and/or instruction available.
There is no better way to get a clear picture of Puerto Vallarta's spectacular vistas than from harbor cruise. Daytime excursions frequently leave from Puerto Vallarta's Maritime Terminal, heading south and making stops at many secluded beaches, such as Las Animas, Quimixto and Yelapa. Their evening counterparts can transport you into a world of romantic mysticism (see Rhythms of the Night, pg. 181) or immerse you in a wild pirate adventure, such as that offered by the Marigalante (pg. 87). Cruises offer a variety of amenities, from diving and snorkeling gear to generous supplies of food and beverages. Conversely, water taxis are small powerboats, or pangas, that offer no amenities but can get you from point A to point B fairly quickly, usually from Nuevo Vallarta (Paradise Village) to Puerto Vallarta (Los Muertos) and from Los Muertos and Boca de Tomatlan to the aforementioned South Shore beaches. For nature lovers, a canal tour that travels through Quelele Lagoon's protected mangroves near Nuevo Vallarta brings you up close and personal with birds, crocodiles and other native species.
If not having to say "hola" or "no, gracias" is your thing, these four spots north and south of Puerto Vallarta may very well be what the doctor ordered for you.
If you are not staying at a beachfront hotel but would like to enjoy the experience of doing so, just about every one of these self-contained paradises offers a day-pass option, which allows you to use the hotel's facilities just as regular guests do. Pass prices and the amenities included vary from hotel to hotel, and during some months, depending on each hotel's occupancy rate, they may not be available. Check the hotel directory located on page 234 of this magazine and call ahead to get all the pertinent details. You will be guaranteed a well-kept beach, the comfort of pool water, and access to food and drinks. If privacy is what you're after, the Presidente Intercontinental is ideal due to its beach's limited public access.
Of all the beaches in Banderas Bay, there are three spots where — given the variety of shopping, dining, lodging and activity options — you'll wish you had booked an overnight stay. Turn to page 158 to discover San Pancho, a peaceful getaway less than an hour north of Puerto Vallarta. Also in Riviera Nayarit, Sayulita has been a magnet for surfers and the hip, bohemian crowd for decades. South of Puerto Vallarta, Yelapa retains the small fishing village feel it had when Hollywood discovered this paparazzi-free hideaway years ago. Sayulita and Yelapa have been previously featured in this publication. Feel free to visit our website, www.virtualvallarta.com, to read more about these wonderful spots.
Are you exploring Puerto Vallarta and surroundings with toddlers or teens? Keep the following spots in mind!
Imagine the exhilaration of paddling along the tranquil and scenic coast of Banderas Bay in a sea kayak, hearing only the sound of the surf and possibly a few birds overhead. Current models of sea kayaks commonly available in Vallarta have evolved from the traditional wood and hide construction of indigenous groups living in Alaska, Canada and Greenland. They now include the "sit-on-top" design commonly constructed from materials such as rotomolded polyethylene (often bright yellow), as well as inflatable plastic models.
Vallarta Adventures (www.vallarta-adventures.com) offers a multitude of sea kayaking options, as does Ecotours de Mexico (www.ecotoursvallarta.com). Or if you are adventurous and want to go out on your own, numerous hotels and resorts have kayaks available for use by registered guests and people purchasing a day pass to use their facilities and equipment. Get out there and get paddling!
Vessel Mania
Ahoy, matey! Whether you're a landlubber, a crusty old sea captain or somewhere in between, the Vallarta area has the boating experience for you, including charters, rentals, lessons and excursions.
To learn the art of sailing, consider a basic one-day class offered by Vallarta Adventures. However, if it's high-adrenalin sailing you're looking for, the America's Cup excursion is for you (www.vallarta-adventures.com). For simple relaxation, consider a romantic sunset sailing cruise or charter a sailboat for your own custom adventure. Finally, Nuevo Vallarta is home to J World Performance Sailing School, offering multi-day classes for both novices and advanced sailors (www.sailing-jworld.com/puerto_vallarta.htm).
Chartering a boat is a fabulous option when you want to get away from crowds and preset itineraries. Operators such as Charter Dreams (www.charterdreams.com) offer you a choice of vessels and itinerary options, including cruising around the bay or going to a secluded beach. Because these vessels are much smaller than the group tour boats, there is a better opportunity to view wild dolphins, sea turtles and manta rays swimming in their natural habitat. For a chance to see crocodiles and other interesting wildlife, consider the Jungle Canal Tour in Nuevo Vallarta.
The only tough part will be choosing among all of the options. And don't forget your camera!
It's every angler's dream to hook the "big one." And with incredible year-round fishing in Banderas Bay, all you need to do is book your charter and show up with your hat, sunscreen and camera. Local operators such as Charter Dreams (www.charterdreams.com) take care of the tackle, bait and lures and can help you obtain a Mexican fishing license. In addition to big game fish such as wahoo, snapper and grouper, you can also arrange a bass fishing charter to nearby freshwater lakes. The crew will even fillet your fish upon request, and restaurants in and around Vallarta — such as Adriatico, Barcelona Tapas, Dick's Halfway Inn, Don Pedro's, Frascati, Hacienda Xochitl, Tikul, Trio and Vitea — will prepare a feast from your catch!
Every day, a fearsome pirate captain embarks on a momentous adventure aboard a boat full of people who bear witness to the acrobatic battle this buccaneer wages against the residents of Puerto Vallarta! This dangerous feat takes place on one of the tours offered on the Marigalante, a replica of the largest boat used by Christopher Columbus for his first voyage to America, the Santa Maria.
The Marigalante has been converted into a spectacular attraction for both tourists and locals, who enjoy the nightly fireworks launched from its decks and its majestic passage during the day. If you decide to try the pirate adventure, note that the day tour is for the whole family, while the night is ideal for couples. For more information or reservations, visit www.marigalante.com.mx.
This ultimate eco-tour destination is actually a protected wildlife sanctuary and marine preserve. Located in the northern end of Banderas Bay, these islands accessible only by boat feature varied terrain that facilitates a diverse menu of outdoor activity options. Vallarta Adventures' Wild Dolphins and Snorkeling excursion offers an all-inclusive day trip to fully experience the magnificence of the Marietas (www.vallarta-adventures.com).
Enjoy observing wild animals such as dolphins, whales, manta rays, tropical fish and a wide variety of birds, including the rare Blue-footed Booby. The warm clear waters surrounding these islands inspire swimming, snorkeling, diving and kayaking, or catching a few rays on the secluded beaches.
At Cocodrilario El Cora, you can observe crocodiles in their natural habitat, without needing to hide or move cautiously because safety is guaranteed. The opportunity to experience these reptiles up close, for just a modest donation, includes seeing the adorable young ones in special ponds. You can also enjoy delicious, traditional seafood dishes at restaurant La Laguna, which belongs to the center, its earnings used to maintain the successful program for preserving this species. This small, environmentally friendly park is located in the vicinity of Flamingos golf course. For more information, call 044 (322) 129-8504.
Every year between from November to April, Banderas Bay becomes the winter home and birthing grounds for numerous humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae). Humpbacks are known for their acrobatic leaps and their unique "song," which includes sounds such as grunts and squeaks. This protected species has no teeth and eats 4,400 to 5,500 pounds of krill, plankton and small fish daily.
The Puerto Vallarta Whale Watching Forum (www.puertovallartawhalewatching.com) is a privately funded ecological group that promotes education and responsible whale watching activities in Banderas Bay. It was founded by Keith May, who returned from his first whale watching tour five years ago with tears in his eyes. Seeing firsthand how many of the tour boats were harassing the magnificent humpback whales, he decided to take a stand and make a difference.
His extensive website is a plethora of fabulous information, including facts on humpbacks, Mexican whale watching regulations and a method to report those who do not adhere to established guidelines. It also includes a list of approved whale watching vessels, including those of Vallarta Adventures (www.vallarta-adventures.com) and Ecotours de México (www.ecotoursvallarta.com). The upcoming official whale watching tour season will run from December 8, 2008 to March 23, 2009, giving expectant mothers time to rest after their long journey south and allowing any newborns time to build their strength in our sheltered waters.
It's easy to be a responsible whale watcher: 1) educate yourself, 2) decide on the tour features you desire, 3) talk to others who have recently been on whale watching excursions and 4) look for an operator employing well-trained pilots and trained guides knowledgeable in whale behavior. This will help facilitate a safe and unforgettable experience for both you and the humpbacks.
There is so much more to this spectacular Vallarta Adventures (www.vallarta-adventures.com) Nuevo Vallarta facility than meets the eye! It takes 28 trainers and four medical staff to ensure that Karina, Shani, Lluvia, Tonalli and the rest of the dolphins receive the best possible care, while providing visitors with unique, unforgettable experiences swimming with these charismatic marine mammals. These images are but a glimpse of all the hard work that goes on at the center, most of which you can experience first hand by enrolling in the Dolphin Trainer for a Day program.

History was made Monday when Meryl Davis and Charlie White won Olympic gold for their ice dance routine, which was partially choreographed by DWTS' own Derek Hough.
According to CBS News Davis and White's Olympic gold is the first-ever title in the ice-dancing event for the United States. The ice dancers have been skating together for 17 years, and their almost spotless routine was finally "justified" after the many years of hard work Charlie White declared.
The winning ice dance routine at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics was skated to "Sheherazade" and "Dancing with the Stars" alum Derek Hough assisted Davis and White along with coach Marina Zoueva in the pair's "My Fair Lady" themed short dance, which reportedly has kept the team undefeated for over 22 months.
Derek Hough choreographed the gold medalists' quickstep and foxtrot that was performed at the Iceberg Skating Palace on February 17 in Russia, and as TV Guide reported, the DWTS star was not prepared for the call to arms.
I was definitely not expecting that call. I still can't believe they asked me. I got lucky. I really did. It was an honor to help them out any way I could.
At first Hough was reluctant to choreograph for Meryl Davis and Charlie White. He had never put a routine together for ice and "didn't want to be the guy who screws someone out of winning the Olympics." But after five mirror ball trophies and an Emmy, Derek Hough can now add Olympic gold to his impressive dance resume.
Derek Hough isn't sure he is returning to Season 18 of 'Dancing with the Stars". The 28-year-old ballroom dancer has a book in the works and other projects that have kept him busy.
