Respectfully, first lady's "drink up" campaign might be all wet
First Lady Michelle Obama will head up the splashy launch of a new better-health initiative today by announcing a campaign urging Americans to drink more water.
We're largely made up of water, and our survival depends on a steady intake to replenish the fluids our bodies lose. There's no question that plain water is better for you than you than sodas, frothy lattes, sugary faux "juice," or a dry Grey Goose martini straight up with an extra olive.
But some of the claims the "Drink Up" campaign is making just don't seem to be scientifically sound.
For instance, White House spokespersons promoting the campaign are quoted as hailing water as "our original energy drink" and a source of "energy and stamina." Which, as The Atlantic points outs out here, would be great if it were true, but it's not. You can't run a marathon on a breakfast of water.
Still, "Drink Up" isn't bad advice. While there are extremely rare cases people actually dying from a condition called "water intoxication," or hyponatremia, most doctors and nutritionists agree that a little extra water intake can't hurt and might help you.
The problem is that this campaign relies on the unscientific but persistent canards that "Americans are chronically underhydrated," and the old saw that we all need to chug a gallon of H2O every day (all are faithfully trotted out in this Time piece).
We need to be adequately hydrated, but there is no minimum standard for the healthy amount, and mainstream doctors and scientists seem to agree that drinking when you feel thirsty is a good rule of thumb for otherwise healthy people. Moreover, your body doesn't distinguish between fluid sources – whether it's from tea, tap water, or a crenshaw melon, it has the same hydrating effect.
This isn't a political judgment on the first lady, or on her efforts to promote better nutrition.
But I think it's a bad idea for the government – and the media – to promote unproven science and dietary fads, even in a case as innocuous as drinking water. Yes, it's probably good for you. But no, there's not an American hydration crisis.

Are we going to see any attempts?
If so, will we see well executed Quads and 3As in the upcoming season?
Are they necessary?
If so, will they decide the respective championships?
Are we going to see any attempts?

2. See 1.
Referring only to the guys, because 3As in the ladies are too rare for me to feel comfortable with them as a decisive factor:
3. If a competition is at a high level, I think so, because these days everyone has learned how to play the IJS game.
4. Hard to tell, but I think they should insofar as I would like to see champions who have a complete repertoire of jump elements besides high-level steps and spins, good presentation and basic skills. But there aren't many skaters who are capable of all that, so who knows. If I can only have part of that list, I'd dump the high level spins - it's not like the current system rewards the prettiest stuff, anyway.
The quad guys are retired, injured or seems to have other skating problems. The rest seem focus at a good general impression during the performance. I agree with Jeff; you don't need a quad to be a Worlds champion. I love quads, when they are well jumped, and the skaters not trying so hard that they get hurt.
Probably not. On a very rare occasion, maybe.If so, will we see well executed Quads and 3As in the upcoming season?
I don't believe the 3Axel is necessary for the ladies nor is the quad necessary for the men. What is necessary are right edge takeoff from jumps, full rotation on all the jumps, clean landings, maxed out jumping passes, high quality, high level spins and footwork, as well as impeccable skating skills, transitions, choreography, performance/execution, and interpretation. I hope the skater(s) who combine(s) all these technical elements and program components as well as emotionally move(s) us is/are the rightful victor(s). I hope we see full out skating filled with joy, passion, and freedom! The difficulty is to manage all of this on a consistent basis.Are they necessary?
See above.If so, will they decide the respective championships?

Please let there be quads!!!!!
A program can be great without one, but they really add an extra thrill!
Before skaters used to try and push the thechnical frontier further and further, but these days it's not so much the case. A program can be great without quads, but they do make a program much more thrilling.
I don't think they're thrilling so much as cumbersome and presentation killing (JMO, YMOV)
Oddly enough, the skater who has completed the most quads in competition this year might be Ryan Bradley with 3, 2 at Skate Canada and 1 at TEB in the SP.
I can't add much about the mens, but I think the ladies are less inclined to pursue the 3A because it's a huge risk with little payoff. Just look at the world record highs for ladies sp, lp and you can see they're both routines without a 3A.
There is a reward, but it only comes if the 3A is completed successfully. For most of them, it's just too big of a risk and they would rather spend their time perfecting what the jumps they can actually do.
Sure the quad adds some extra thrill to the program when it's done well, but how often is that these days? There is so much else to focus on that I actually kind of prefer to see a well choreographed program with well executed triples, spins and footwork than someone pull in a messy quad.
In fact, Johnny Weir has had some of my favorite performances at times when he was not attempting the quad. There are other skaters to make examples of as well but he just stands out in my mind because he's been vocal in the past about not liking the importance placed on the quad, and I'd have to agree.
I don't want to go back to the days when podium placements were regularly decided by who had the most clean triples, but I also don't want singles and pairs skating to overemphasize footwork and choreography to the point that the jumps are scaled back and the sport starts regressing technically. Yes, it's figure skating not figure jumping; but it's not ice dancing either.
For myself I'm untroubled by a lack of quads, but I'll throw out a couple of ideas.
When quads were more common I always had the impression that the coaches didn't know how to help a skater add a quad and each skater who could quad had basically taught himself (notice oddball technique like the way Goebel would stretch his arms down going into the quad).
Maybe that's one reason there not more common now. CoP and its requirements for busy ugly spins and frenetic footwork take enough time away from skaters that they can't teach themselves quads (which is going to be time consuming since the coaches by and large don't know how to train quads).
Just a thought.
But hey, to each their own. I can't do anything on the ice except go forwards and backwards and stop without hitting anything, so it's not like I can emulate the tiniest part of what the skaters are doing. As a spectator, I would like them to add some jumps beyond what they did in juniors. I don't think 80s-vintage jump content should cut it. But that's just me.
I think the good thing about the IJS is that it forces skaters to work on the areas in which they are weaker. For some this is spins, for some it is jumps, and for others it's the presentation. But there has to be a balance between everything - that's what makes figure skating so great, that it combines all those things.

Dividend investing works
Planning for retirement can be daunting
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Tuesday, December 24, 2013
Trading volumes will be thin in today's abbreviated session, but they aren't expected to improve much in the few trading sessions after the Christmas holiday either. Lack of volume notwithstanding, stocks will likely continue to build on the positive momentum following the Fed announcement and finish the year in style. This morning's strong reading on corporate spending, thus far a weak spot in the economic picture, should help sentiment as well.
The Durable Goods orders report for November came in better than expected both on the 'headline' as well as on the internals, offsetting the very weak reading from the preceding month. Business spending has been a persistent 'no show' in this recovery and it is perhaps to premature to declare an end to that trend on the basis of this reading. Instead of making capital investments, companies have been investing record sums into share buybacks.
Buybacks totaled $128.2 billion in Q3, the highest quarterly level since the fourth quarter of 2007, according to a story in today's Wall Street Journal, with Apple ( AAPL ), Exxon ( XOM ), and Pfizer ( PFE ) as the biggest buyers of their shares in the quarter. Given the stock market's strong run this year that has pushed the broad indexes into record territories, one is justified to wonder whether the companies are making the most optimal use of their cash.
But if today's Durable Goods report is a sign of things to come, then it would be representative of a material improvement in the economic outlook.
Merry Christmas to all.

A California-based retail investment trust is moving ahead with buying the bankrupt Lahaina Gateway Center from Central Pacific Bank, which foreclosed on the shopping center last year.
TNP Strategic Retail Trust of Irvine announced Wednesday that its board of directors had approved acquiring the 11.3-acre property. The company, which also owns the Waianae Mall in West Oahu, said it expects to close the sale this month.
"The acquisition of Lahaina Gateway . . . is consistent with our strategy of acquiring a mix of stabilized and value-added assets," the company's senior vice president, Steve Corea, said in an announcement. "The property serves a strong tourism-based demographic while also serving the needs of the community. Best in class tenants, including Foodland Farms and Outback Steakhouse, provide a solid foundation for continued leasing activity at the center."
Other tenants include Barnes & Noble, Genki Sushi, The Melting Pot, 100 Wines, Teddy's Bigger Burgers and Office Max. TNP said the center is about 81 percent occupied.
The 136,000-square-foot Lahaina Gateway Center opened in August 2008 and was hard hit by the economic recession.
Developer Bilarjo LLC had taken out a $41 million construction loan in 2006, and another loan for $7.3 million. After multiple extensions, lender Central Pacific Bank sued to collect on the loans.
The bank was the only bidder at the foreclosure auction last year.
TNP did not disclose the purchase price, but said it is buying the center "at a substantial discount to the bank's construction loan and the company's lender's appraisal conducted in June."
A spokesman for Central Pacific Bank did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The owners of a Quebec seniors' home wants a public inquiry into January's fire in L'Isle-Verte that killed 32 residents.
Roch Bernier and his lawyer are urging Premier Philippe Couillard to call the inquiry, saying people have a right to know the real story behind the blaze.
Bernier and an insurance company are suing the town for 3.8-million dollars, alleging it failed to implement emergency plans which might have saved lives.
Quebec provincial police, the coroner's office and the fire commissioner are all investigating, but Bernier's lawyer says he doesn't understand what's taking so long.
Bernier said he's frustrated because he can't get answers to questions about the fire department response time to the blaze.
He wants to know where they were as he saw some people being burned alive and others jumping from the upper floors to escape the flames.

Determined boss Ronnie McFall insists Portadown are hungry to go one better in this season's Irish Cup.
The Ports were eliminated by eventual winners Glentoran at the semi-final stage last year.
It was a bitter pill for McFall to swallow – but one they hope to avenge on Saturday afternoon.
Portadown are preparing for the tie of the fifth round today when Glentoran visit Shamrock Park.
The Ports have yet to taste defeat against the east Belfast club this season – recording two wins and a draw in three previous fixtures.
It could have been three from three for McFall's side, who conceded a late equaliser in last week's 2-2 draw at the Oval.
"The games have been tight so far, and I would expect something similar on Saturday," McFall said.
"Glentoran certainly won't relish coming to Shamrock Park. It will be a tough battle and we are determined to progress in the cup.
"We obviously lost to the Glens in the semi-finals last season, so the aim is to go one stage further this year.
"We have home advantage so we have to make it count."
Meanwhile, McFall has admitted there has been no developments on transfer-listed striker Kevin Braniff.
Linfield, Glentoran, Cliftonville and Sligo Rovers have all expressed an interest in the gifted playmaker.
"There has been nothing fresh this week," McFall said.
"We will have to wait and see what happens. I would be interested in a player exchange, or player exchange plus cash.
"We are open to serious offers."
Elsewhere on Saturday Cliftonville host Coleraine in the only other all-Premiership tie of the fifth round.
Coleraine will be looking to build from last week's win over Ards.
Also on Saturday Linfield entertain Dergview while Crusaders are at home to Crumlin Star.
TODAY'S FIFTH ROUND TIES (3PM UNLESS STATED): Harland & Wolff Welders v Ballymena United (1.30), Queen's University v Limavady United (1.30), Lisburn Distillery v PSNI (2pm), Ards v Armagh City, Ballinamallard United v Strabane Athletic, Ballyclare Comrades v Kilmore Rec FC, Ballymoney United v Banbridge Town, Bangor FC v Glebe Rangers, Carrick Rangers v Dundela, Cliftonville v Coleraine, Crusaders FC v Crumlin Star, Glenavon v Sport & Leisure Swifts, Linfield v Dergview, Moyola Park v Dungannon Swifts, Portadown v Glentoran, Warrenpoint Town v Chimney Corner.

What materials did you use?
100% cotton, Kona cotton for border and sashing
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Fun holiday gift. I wash and dry the fabric before sewing so all shrinkage before sewing. I only use Kona cotton for the border and sashing. I have found using other solid cottons - there is too much shrinkage.

I was very dismayed to open the Tribune Chronicle Friday, May 3, 2013, and see a nationally syndicated cartoon depicting former president George W. Bush sitting at his desk in his new library with empty book shelves on both sides save for one book titled ''My Pet Goat,'' which was the book he was reading to school children in Florida when informed of the attacks on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
It was an obvious ploy to characterize Bush as a dolt.
It was in poor taste by the cartoonist and I, along with many others, was very disappointed that the Tribune Chronicle did not see fit to pull it from publication.
In case some of your readers are not aware, George W. Bush has a bachelor's degree from Yale, an MBA from Harvard and also earned his ''wings,'' which licensed him to fly U.S. military jets. How many of us can say that? I venture to say very, very few if any.
A dolt he is not.
He also was the first governor in the history of Texas to win two consecutive four-year terms winning his second term with 69 percent of the vote.
Let's all hope the Tribune screens their cartoons a little more closely in the future.

Facebook.com - Become a Fan! Twitter.com - Follow Us! We've got the Selena Gomez music update right now. Hi guys! Thanks for returning to ClevverTV, I'm Dana Ward and I bet you Selena Gomez fans were quite bummed when the official debut of her new video for the track, A Year Without Rain, got pushed back from its original late August premiere... But in order to keep everyone from getting uber-upset about it, the Disney Channel showed a very short music video preview for now. Selena is definitely looking pretty in the behind-the-scenes shots as she sings out in a seemingly empty desert. You can't help but notice that Gomez is looking pretty darn sexy, especially for the Disney Channel - do you agree with this? What else do you think will happen in the A Year Without Rain music video and why do you think its debut got pushed back to September 3rd? It can be assumed that there are enough Selena and the Scene fans out there that the DC doesn't need to put the premiere right after Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam, right, people?? Make sure you let us know what you're thinking by heading over to Facebook.com/ClevverTV. I'm Dana Ward, thanks for watching the show!

Football Practice #8 -- Faculty Appreciation Day
Ball State spent its spring practice No. 8 preparing for the April 20 Spring Game plus entertained during its Faculty Appreciation Day.
Faculty members were welcomed into the Fisher Football Training Complex Saturday morning and listened to third-year head coach Pete Lembo's presentation on the football program.
"We appreciate several faculty members and their families taking the time to get an intimate look at our program this morning," Lembo says. "We are all in it together when it comes to the college experience and education of our student-athletes. The support for our football program is growing on campus and in the community. We want to keep providing opportunities for all of our constituents to have access to the program."
The group toured the strength and conditioning facilities before watching practice from the Kozel Communications Center at Scheumann Stadium.
Faculty members were welcomed to the press box for refreshments as practiced continued and then family members were welcomed to the field for autographs and introductions with Ball State's football student-athletes.
In addition to the on-field preparations, Ball State entertained recruits and welcomed officials for a training day clinic.

The Dallas Cowboys and New York Jets put on a show on Sunday Night Football. Through various ups and downs, the game finished excitingly and dramatically.
The Cowboys fell apart late in the fourth quarter after some questionable plays made by Tony Romo and overly conservative play calling by Jason Garrett.
Both teams, though, are learning and living, and in the NFL, one loss isn't the end of the season.
Here are four things we can take away from the Cowboys-Jets game.

Washington state is on course to pass a bill that would give same-sex partnerships the same rights as married couples.
Thousands gathered on the steps of the Washington State Capital protesting the bill.
Click play to watch this report, video courtesy of the Faith and Freedom Network.
Washington already has laws in place giving rights to domestic partnerships.
This bill would expand on those to include all benefits given to married couples.
Employment benefits like pensions and health insurance would be some of the most effected by the new legislation.
The Washington Values Alliance believes the bill is just a stepping stone for re-defining marriage.
"By creating the legal equivalent of the marital union, Washington state will be subject to litigation by homosexual partners demanding that the courts overturn our state's Defense of Marriage Act, which is exactly what happened in California prior to Proposition 8," a Washington Values Alliance representative said.
The bill passed the Senate last week and now moves to the House -- which started holding public hearings Monday.

'Flashpoint,' other series find success
MONTREAL As recently as last year, the Canuck industry was rife with grumbling about how the production biz had fewer primetime dramas on the air in Canada and lower ratings than five years earlier.
But then the Americans stepped in and started buying Canadian shows, and despite some Yank critics' carping, auds on both sides of the border have embraced series from the Great White North.
The highest-profile Canadian entry in the U.S. television sweepstakes so far is "Flashpoint," a Toronto-set crime drama that made its bow on CBS and on CTV in Canada July 11. The series about an emergency response police unit met with mixed reviews in the U.S., with many Stateside critics suggesting it was a not-so-inspired Canadian rip-off of a well-worn American format — the cop procedural.
But American TV viewers seem to have fewer issues than do critics of the show — and its Canadian roots. The first episode of "Flashpoint" was the most watched show of the night in the U.S., with 8.1 million viewers and 1.9/6 in 18-49. It has continued to win its timeslot every week since then, and in a show of confidence, CBS moved "Flashpoint" to Thursdays at 10 p.m., after "CSI," beginning July 24 where it did well again. On July 31, the show won its timeslot with 7.68 million total viewers and 1.9/6 among adults 18-49.
"It felt to me like there was some resistance to 'Flashpoint' going into the CBS primetime schedule and that seemed to be written between the lines of some of the reviews," says "Flashpoint" exec producer Bill Mustos. "But I feel that's going away because audiences in North America seem to be responding to the show."
Still on the bubble is "18 to Life," a sitcom about a pair of 18-year-olds who shock their parents by getting married. Starring Stacey Farber ("Degrassi: The Next Generation") and Michael Seater ("Life With Derek"), the pilot for "18 to Life" was shot in Montreal earlier this summer, and ABC and CBC are considering whether to order more episodes. "Degrassi: The Next Generation" and "Life With Derek" are two more Canuck shows that have proved successful on the N and Disney Channel, respectively.
Other Canadian shows headed to the smallscreen in the U.S. include "The Listener," a drama about a Toronto paramedic with telepathic powers, coming to NBC next season; and Montreal-shot sitcom "Sophie," the tale of a single mom, skedded for a preem on ABC Family early in '09.
The slow-paced gentle sitcom "Corner Gas," set in the tiny fictional town of Dog River in rural Saskatchewan, made its U.S. debut last fall on WGN, and "Kenny vs. Spenny," a comic reality show where two guys engage in absurd competitions, began airing on Comedy Central late last year.
Arnie Gelbart, president of Galafilm, the Montreal-based company producing "18 to Life," says the Canadian shows are proliferating south of the border in part because Canada has better writers, directors and showrunners than it did 10 years ago. But he is the first to admit that it's also because the American networks save money by picking up series that have been developed by Canadian producers and networks.
"It's a great deal for the American broadcasters," Gelbart says. "It certainly makes financial sense. They suddenly realized — why not work with Canada. There's no language issue and it's right next door."
Gelbart notes that in a case like "18 to Life," pubcaster CBC and the rest of the Canadian financing system is putting up the bulk of the coin, so it makes for an attractive proposition for a U.S. network.
"Flashpoint" exec producer Mustos, who used to head the drama division at leading Canuck network CTV, says the boom is part of a happy coincidence where networks on both sides of the border were simultaneously contemplating developing shows that would work in the two markets. A network like CTV is trying to back Canadian series that will fly in the U.S., and the American networks are more open to collaborating with foreign producers and networks, as evidenced by imported formats like "The Office" and "Ugly Betty."
Some say the Canadian boom comes thanks to the recent Writers Guild of America strike, but Mustos doesn't buy that argument.
"When we talked to the folks at CBS about 'Flashpoint,' they said they'd been talking about finding a new model for making television, and they said they'd be talking to us about 'Flashpoint' whether or not there was a strike," Mustos says.
And to think that just before these U.S. sales the Canuck biz was depressed about how production was allegedly on the road to ruin.
"It's the shot-in-the-arm that the Canadian production community needed," Mustos says. "It really might be the dawning of a new era. There was a real doom-and-gloom attitude, but it really does feel like this last year has given people hope that they can play on the world stage."

Back in December, the FT's Tracy Alloway and Robin Wigglesworth explained how that which was financed by collateralised loan obligations was no longer going to be so financed. This will lead to a credit crunch for sub-investment grade companies that looks set to kick off in earnest in a couple of years.
Older CLOs* are making up for some of the slack by extending loans, but it appears that ultimately, funding will have to be obtained elsewhere or these companies will default. Read more

(Cardiff explained it in more detail back in November if you want a refresher on the scale and messiness of it all.)
There have been several estimates of how this might play out — Nomura for example forecast that the expiration of the Bush tax cuts alone would reduce GDP in 2012 by 1.5 percentage points. Now the Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan agency, has published its own analysis, which paints a picture of all of the fiscal restraint measures and expiring tax cuts shaving a massive 4 percentage points off GDP growth in 2013, making for a recessionary first half: Read more

Cavaliers guard Delonte West met with the media Monday, but he did not shed much light on the Sept. 17 incident in which he was arrested near his home in Washington, D.C., and charged with two counts of having a concealed handgun on his person, which is a misdemeanor in Maryland. West's first court date isn't until Nov. 20.
"You have to respect the legal process," West said, repeating similar comments by Cavs GM Danny Ferry and coach Mike Brown. "I understand there [are] a lot of questions. Right now what I want to focus on is this team and playing basketball. Once details come out surrounding the situation, you'll see that it is not as big as some are making it. It is bad timing right before training camp, unfortunately, but all we can do is focus on basketball right now."
West, who left the team during training camp last season to receive treatment for what he called a mood disorder, indicated he had been struggling with that again.
"I'm back taking my meds and everything," he said. "I'm focused on basketball. I'm dealing with some issues. I get highs and get lows. But all the last year I've been consistent being in a nice . . . routine. I was in a routine that I got out of this summer. I got away from it.
"But just coming back here, driving into Cleveland, it was like getting a breath of fresh air."
Teammates were happy to see him back.
"He's in the locker room joking around." said Mo Williams, who attended West's wedding this summer. "He's Delonte. This is his safe haven. When he's in this gym, around us, it's like therapy for him."
West likely faces some disciplinary action from the league. Commissioner David Stern has suspended players involved in similar situations anywhere from three to seven games.
Next year? Next topic: Though it figures to be a hot topic of conversation all season, LeBron James did not want to talk about his contract situation Monday.
After announcing in August he would not sign an extension this summer, he has been asked about his contract repeatedly during his worldwide media tour promoting his new shoe, book and movie.
"Next summer is next summer," James said. "When it's time to deal with it, I'll deal with it."
The same went for Shaquille O'Neal, who is on the final year of his deal and repeatedly brought up his desire for a new contract during his first news conference as a Cav in June.
In fact, O'Neal vowed not to discuss his deal or James' this season.
"I won't mention my situation, I won't mention his situation, I'll just come play," O'Neal said. "My mother told me not to say anything about it because I've been the luckiest athlete in the world. I've had three great deals in one career, so if I can get one more, good. If not, I'll try something else."
No decision on Team USA: While some players from the 2008 Olympic gold-medal team already have committed to play in next summer's world championships, James said he wasn't sure yet. He has committed to filming a movie next summer.
Utah's Deron Williams said he would play and already has a schedule of events from USA Basketball.
James said his schedule wasn't set.
"We haven't finished all the logistics of when the movie will be shot, and if I decide to play on the team next summer when I'll have to report," James said. "I don't have an answer right now."
Toeing the line: Cavs guard Daniel Gibson said he was completely healed from the troublesome sprained left big toe that plagued him last season. His shooting slipped to a career-low 39 percent, including 38.2 percent from 3-point range.
"It's an injury that doesn't really hurt, so you think you can play through it," he said. "But last year was a struggle.
"Now it's great. I've had an opportunity to rest it. This summer, that was the biggest thing for me. The only way to heal it was to rest it. Now I have my balance back. I feel like I can put my weight back on it when I shoot. I think the sky's the limit."
He said he also realized why all the extra time he put in practicing didn't pay off.
"What I figured out when the season was over was that I never integrated playing a game and trying to shoot," he said. "That's different than catching a ball and shooting during late nights at the gym."
The last word: From O'Neal, on his new uniform shorts being a tad too small: "My shorts were kind of Brad Daugherty-ish."
Plain Dealer reporter Jodie Valade contributed to this report.

How to Make a Good Impression At a Job Interview
Reader Comments (35)
Wow! How'd you know that this is exactly how I got my current job Scott?
@ Jiggly McSickfingers:
With the Fez and everything?
This one is especially appropriate for me since I just got laid off last week after 10 years with the same company. I'll be putting this advice to good use in my subsequent interviews, you can bet yer ass!
"You are the complete opposite of every other applicant."
I would hire you based on the outfit alone.
If I were a hiring manager, anyone who shows up with a smoking jacket and a fez deserves the job and so much more.
If you wear a fez to an interview with me, you can consider the B.S. questions waived :D
Smoking jacket? You mean the traditional Native American herbal ceremonial garb?
I'm so happy to see the return of the smoking jacket. Keep it up!
My answer:
People tend to get blinded by my awesomeness and my attractiveness.
"I'm so Super Competent." BAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!
Fez = insta-win!
Also, I handle my interviews similarly, sans getup.
You have me doomed now, If I want to seek another job I would have on my mind only you on smoking jacket and fez.
I recently got a new job offer. All the signs were wrong, the organising manager dropped out at the last minute. Interview went well. Two hourly rates were mentioned, I indicated I had a preference for the higher rate. The interviewer laughed and agreed. Now I am worried to put my notice in in case it all falls through - what the hell I can afford a fez if need be.
Damn, five days too late to be any use...
I have read your webcomic in its entirety and I APPROVE! I can't recall the exact comic, but at one point I laughed so hard that I slapped my desk and broke an ugly pink lamp given to me on my birthday. God bless you, Scott!
i'd laugh, but I feel to crummy to do much right now . . . never NEVER go to a concert that ends at 11 @ night, then get up @ 5 am the next morning. Trust me.
Scott, have you thought about hiding an extra joke in the text that pops-up when you hover your mouse over the picture, xkcd-style? Currently it just says the name of the comic, and I often feel like the comics, while delightful (basic instructions is my favorite comic) often feel like they need just a little something extra. Anyway, great comic.
The clothes remind me of my first job after I got out of the military. I was applying for an aircraft electrician job at a local defense contractor. I didn't really want the job; I wanted to loaf for awhile but the employment office told me I had to go, so I put on faded jeans, a grey pullover hoody with seed burns in it, and a tattered F-15 Eagle cap. Little did I know that I was EXACTLY dressing the part. Yes, everyone who worked there dressed like bums, so I looked like I already worked there. I got the job and stayed 5 miserable years.
Wow - you actually got called to an interview? (Unemployed and NO, Not bitter, much)
OMG how much do I HATE the BS questions? Let me count the ways ...
Other BS Questions (I've actually been asked on interviews) :
"Did you ever steal from your past employer?"
"If someone takes money out of the till and puts it back the next day, did they steal?"
"Where do you see yourself in five years?"(asked at a telemarketing interview)
"Who referred you for this job?" (asked as a temp from a temp agency filling a temp job)
"If you were a shape, what would you be?" (no joke, it was a serious question asked in a serious tone.)
"What do you usually wear to work?"(asked at a office job interview, by someone in torn jeans)
"Did you ever have any conflicts with your supervisors?"(again, at a telemarketing job)
Last, and possibly best:
"What makes you think you're qualified for the position?" (this was asked after a three-day 8 hours per day testing session in which only those that passed %90 or better were actually interviewed)
I always felt the BS questions were to see whether you had the needed ability to BS when dealing with customers. If you can't handle an annoying question from a potential superior in the company, how would you possibly handle dealing with an irate and annoying customer?
Yes, very nice strip indeed. I have yet to actually attend a formal job interview. Though, many of my friends have. I wonder if they have seen it yet....
I recommend you get yourself a fez and smoking jacket so your first one will be the last job interview you ever need! For myself, I like to wear my "Renaissance serving wench" outfit...
Haha! Nice...
Can we request strips for the tee-shirts? My son is really into poker and I'd like to get him the one where the panel is a guy thinking "Now all I need is 3 more Jacks". Actually the only time I have seen him consistently lose was playing (no money changed hands) his 8 year old cousin that didn't actually know how to play. The 8 year old had a little luck and was impssible to "read".
Just had to stop by and say that this comment had me laughing hard.
Nice one.
And by that, I really did mean comic and not comment. My comment had no pretense of humor.
i have actually used a variation of the 'super-competent' answer, when i knew i had seen enough and had no desire to work there! i have also, at different interviews, truthfully confessed to being a slob, being unpunctual, and lacking patience with clients and coworkers. astonishingly, i've never been unemployed until 'leaving work' (ahahaha) to look after my baby, a job i was sadly untrained and totally unqualified for. the only interview for this employment was with my husband, who was similarly clueless about parenting, and the conversation was pretty much like frames 2 and 3 above.
I had an interview where the only question asked was "Do you do drugs?"
My answer was, of course, "No siree" (which was a wicked lie) and I got the job.
It didnt' warrant more interviewing though since the work was menial and within the skills-range of a trained monkey - even if he were high.
I wasn't alone in receiving this technique and I always wondered if the manager really cared about drug habits or if he was just weeding out anyone dumb enough to say yes.
> ...and the conversation was pretty much like frames 2 and 3 above.
That's comedy gold, right there.
this is somewhat what my interview with bruce went like.
I'm almost certian that you will get the job!....................but only if you wore the luchadore mask
In an effort to guide you through the responses to those, in case they ever come up again [and they will]:
"Did you ever steal from your past employer?"
You mean, more than office supplies?
"If someone takes money out of the till and puts it back the next day, did they steal?"
[Actually had one of my current employees do that... short answer, yes, because she didn't get prior approval. That and accounting yelled at ME....]
"Where do you see yourself in five years?"(asked at a telemarketing interview)
Doing your job. If God still hates me, that is...
"Who referred you for this job?" (asked as a temp from a temp agency filling a temp job)
You're about to.
"If you were a shape, what would you be?"
I'm already me-shaped.
"Did you ever have any conflicts with your supervisors?"
I'm about to.

The Long-Term Financial Planning Committee is sending a recommendation to the city of Albany that they deny WG&L's request for $750,000 to begin tearing down the manufactured gas plant.
The Committee, made up of three city commissioners and two Water, Gas and Light board members voted three to two to deny the request.
City Commissioner Bob Langstaff suggests WG&L board members meet and discuss ways to come up with the money on their own before the committee is to meet again September fourth.

In the continuing saga of complaining, complaining, complaining, here's how the last month has gone:
The thrush I got from my antibiotics originally is gone. Whew.
Next up, the colonoscopy: revealed a nice healthy colon with no issues other than maybe some minor diverticula that won't require surgery.
BUT I woke up in extreme pain inside my lower left ribcage. I mean really extreme; I've been in labor before and had appendicitis (and the diverticulitis) but this was bad. It didn't relent and was causing me breathing problems. One ambulance ride to the hospital and a whole lot of testing later, I went home. They confirmed there's no puncture or anything like that, although they didn't (at the time) have a good explanation for the pain.
I spent the next week breathing very shallowly and gasping periodically. It basically felt like when you get a stitch in your side from running, but very extreme.
I did some reading online about exactly what causes side stitch. It's basically a pull of the ligaments that suspend your organs from your diaphragm. So the pain made some sense -- probably one of those ligaments got pulled during the colonoscopy. The doc had never heard of that happening before but it would explain the pain, especially since your digestive system doesn't even go up that high.
Meanwhile my knee continued to get better. There was some cartilage damage but nothing requiring surgery, thankfully.
So meanwhile, still shallow breathing although it was improving, so I wasn't worried about that either...
Then I came down with major illness: fever, dizziness, fatigue, headache, etc. Between that and my shallow breathing they decided to do an x-ray and whaddya know, I had pneumonia!
Fucking ridiculous.
So here I am now, weeks later after more antibiotics. And here's an interesting theory that the docs say is plausible: Ciprofloxacin (one of the antibiotics they gave me 6 weeks beforehand for the original diverticulitis) has cartilage weakness/damage as a major side-effect. This effect can last for weeks or even months after the original dose is done.
And what has happened to me since then?
[LIST][*]Inexplicable knee collapse due to/resulting in cartilage damage, even though I did nothing major that should have caused injury at all. [*]Weirdly pulled ligament attached to my diaphragm, resulting in pneumonia. [/LIST]
Both of those things are cartilage-related and therefore might be related to the Cipro.
So suddenly this last month makes a lot more sense.
Yeah, I know I needed antibiotics for the diverticulitis, but wow. There's another one for my "DO NOT TAKE" drug list.
I guess it could be worse; I've since learned that some people on Cipro get tendonitis, tendon _ruptures_, limb weakness for two months...
Anyway. Back on the road to recovery yet again, armed to the teeth with lots of joint-supporting supplements. Yikes.
At the moment my lung capacity is nearly back up to normal. I disassembled my standing desk (of course) and I'll try that again in a few months when I know I won't be innocently causing injury to weakened cartilage.
Meanwhile I need to get back to doing stabilization exercises along with the knee exercises the doc suggested. I'll get back to walking, but for obvious reasons I will avoid anything high-impact meanwhile. Think I'd better get back to doing sprints in the pool.

Product DescriptionAmerican Pioneer Powder is a loose, granular powder designed and created to be a sulfurless black powder replacement. American Pioneer Powder comes in 2 traditional granulations for all manner of cartridge and muzzleloading needs. Whether you are shooting patched round ball, a modern sabot load or a conical projectile, muzzleloading has never been easier! Used on a volume for volume basis for your traditional black powder loads, it will give you the same performance, velocity and accuracy without the messy clean-up and difficult follow-up reloading from black powder fouling. Cartridge loading will also give the same results. Basic loading instructions are to fill the case to the point where the seated bullet will very slightly compress the powder about 1/16" when it is seated and seat the bullet with a good crimp. No matter what type of black powder shooting you do, you will find you won't have the continual build-up of fouling that makes reloading difficult and can cause guns to bind up. And since clean-up can be done with a damp patch after a day of shooting, it will leave more time for shooting and fun! Shipped ground only.

text: Did that title scare you? Did it make you think you couldn't do it? Why? Was it because it had the word "gourmet" in it? What does gourmet even mean anyway? According to Dictionary.com, gourmet relates to meals involving or (catch this), " purporting to involve high-quality or exotic ingredients and skilled preparation." Do you think that's more than you can handle? Well, you're wrong. You can absolutely make this salad and it won't take a whole lot of "exotic ingredients" or "skilled preparation" to pull off unless you consider goat cheese particularly exotic. Most of the items in the salad are things you have in your pantry or refrigerator. There isn't anything that can be considered a specialty item; all of the ingredients can be found in your local supermarket. Be forewarned - there will seem like there's a lot in this dish, but when you see how easy it is to put it together, that concern will fly right out of the window.

How Shall I Praise Thee? Brian Leiter on Respect for Religion
Andrew Koppelman
Northwestern University School of Law
January 5, 2010
San Diego Law Review, Vol. 47, No. 4, 2010
Northwestern Public Law Research Paper No. 11-46
Northwestern Law & Econ Research Paper No. 11-14
In two recent papers, Brian Leiter argues that there is no good reason for law to single out religion for special treatment, and that religion is not an apt candidate for respect in the "thick" sense of being an object of favorable appraisal. Both arguments depend on a radically impoverished conception of what religion is and what it does. In this paper, I explain what Leiter leaves out, and offer an hypothesis about why. I also engage with some related reflections by Simon Blackburn and Timothy Macklem, both of whom influence, in different ways, Leiter's analysis.

Sellers upset with eBay's new ban on paper payments such as checks and money orders wondered what the US Postal Service (USPS) thought about the policy, since the ban extends to USPS postal money orders. So we asked. A USPS spokesperson provided AuctionBytes with a statement that it has been releasing to customers who ask about the change.
"Beginning in late October eBay will no longer allow checks or money orders as payment methods. Only approved electronic methods will be allowed. In January 2009, all accepted payment methods will be integrated into eBay Checkout. For buyers, this change means a more consistent and secure payment experience. For sellers, it means faster payment and fewer unpaid items. Visit www.ebay.com for more details.
"This is an eBay adopted policy that the U.S. Postal Service has no commitment, or control of, from eBay.
"The U.S. Postal Service will continue to provide Money Orders for customers. Postal Money Orders are a safe, convenient, and economical alternative to sending cash through the mail. They can be purchased from any Post Office(tm) locations in the United States as well as from any rural route carrier, available up to $1,000 each. A current government-issued or state-issued picture identification is required for money order purchases of $3,000 or more in a single day."

Friday, December 25, 2009Keith Clark 12/25/09 12:51 PM, 0 CommentsHappy Holidays! I recently ran across an interesting article in the New York Daily News, authored by Ray Kurzweil, best known to us in the audio/music business for his creation of a new generation of music synthesizers in the mid-1980s, in which he provides his views and predictions on how technology will change and impact our lives over the next 10 years and beyond. Kurzweil is also noted as a "top futurist" and has achieved much outside of the synthesizer… View this story

Super PACs must seem irresistible to politicians. Think of the fundraising power: Super PACs let corporations and individuals spend unlimited sums on political advertising (as long as they avoid coordination with the candidate's campaign)!
But voters in the know say no, thanks.
A recent Pew Research Center survey found most voters familiar with the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which gave rise to super PACs, think super PACs have been bad for the 2012 campaign. And that held true for Democrats, Republicans and independents alike.
So should candidates steer clear of super PACS and endear themselves to knowledgeable voters? Or should they use them to stay financially competitive with opponents?
President Obama appears to have made his choice. Although the president has made his misgivings about Citizens United widely known, and railed against the influence of special-interest groups in politics, the New York Times has reported that the president and his supporters are signaling to donors that they should give their money to Priorities USA Action, the foremost Democratic super PAC.
The reason: Not doing so would put the president at too steep a disadvantage against his ultimate Republican challenger, since all of the GOP candidates have been making use of super PACs.
"We're not going to fight this fight with one hand tied behind our back," Jim Messina, the president's re-election campaign manager, told the New York Times. "With so much at stake, we can't allow for two sets of rules. Democrats can't be unilaterally disarmed."
What do you think? Do you think super PACs are having a positive, negative or no effect on campaign 2012? Do you think President Obama's team is making the right choice by seeking greater benefits from a super PAC?

Winery website: www.alexanawinery.com
For a relatively new winery to the Willamette Valley, Alexana has really started turning heads and palates towards its style of winemaking. Started by Dr. Revana of Napa-fame, this family-run business has created quite a good buzz in the hills of Dundee Oregon.
Technical Data:
- Appellation: Dundee Hills
- Vineyard Designation: Revana Vineyard
- Alcohol: 13.1%
- Price: $42
Nose: Dirty cranberries, cigar wrapper, an old leather-bound book, mushroom, caramelized apples, wet cedar and pomegranate.
Taste: This is still a very young but is pretty solid even right now. It does showcase a really nice combination of fruit, acid tannin and overall structure. Good front, mid-palate and finish make it a very good Pinot, however, there are others out there for less money that are just as good.
