In the wake of President Obama's unconstitutional nominations on January 4th, the ACLJ sent a letter to the U.S. Senate calling for a vigorous defense of the authorities granted to the Senate under the U.S. Constitution.
While it's disheartening that we've yet to see a concerted effort on the part of the Senate to respond to this blatant affront to the Constitution, it should be noted that one Senator in particular has recognized the gravity of the situation and shown strong leadership in taking a defense of the Constitution to the Senate floor, to the airwaves, and to the American people.
Senator Mike Lee (UT) has repeatedly delivered speeches on the Senate floor, testified in front of Congress, given media interviews, and addressed the public. All of this in an effort to expose the egregious nature of what the President has done. Senator Lee has also denied unanimous consent for subsequent nominees brought to the Senate floor.
In all of these efforts, the Senator's message has been straight-forward – Mr. President, you don't run a Government of One, and this Senator won't stand by while you trample the constitutional authorities of the Senate. It is high time that all of Senator Lee's colleagues join his strong call for the President to retreat from the constitutional prerogatives of the Senate.
Without a doubt, there are certainly other Senators who have addressed this issue eloquently. One example is Senator Chuck Grassley (IA), who said on the Senate floor that "the President looks more and more like a king that the Constitution was designed to replace." However, these efforts by individual Senators have yet to produce a meaningful and comprehensive response from the Senate as a whole, and it is time for that to happen. After all, if the Senate is not going to defends its constitutional authority, who will?
As we noted in our letter, the ACLJ has recommended that the Senate refuse to confirm any additional Executive Branch nominees unless and until the President secures the resignation of the four appointments made in violation of the Constitution. Regardless, the Senate must take some action to ensure that the appropriate checks and balances afforded under the Constitution are protected.
But what is not acceptable is doing nothing. The Senate has a sacred obligation to keep the Executive in check. It would do well to follow the example of Senator Lee, and to vigorously defend the carefully balanced government that our Founders enshrined in the Constitution.
President Donald Trump has just fired FBI Director James Comey. President Trump's letter states that Comey is "not able to effectively lead the Bureau." President Trump's action is not only appropriate, but represents the correct action taken against Comey who has become a renegade FBI Director.
There is a ruthless, coordinated attempt by those on the Left – in Congress, in the mainstream media, and in the bureaucracy – to undermine and undercut President Trump. First it's a leak. Then a deceptive smear. And finally an all-out assault intended to hinder and even remove from office senior...
Senator Jeff Sessions has just been confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Attorney General of the United States. Attorney General Jeff Sessions will make an exceptional Attorney General. His understanding and commitment to the rule of law is extraordinary and badly needed in the Department of Justice –
This is a bureaucratic coup d'état. Acting Attorney General Sally Yates – a holdover from the Obama Administration – has just ordered the Department of Justice not to defend President Trump's Executive order on securing America. Disappointed bureaucrats don't get to pick and choose what Executive...

So if you're looking for inspiration for your next great escape or real-estate venture, we've collected some of the most stunning oceanfront properties from the pages of Architectural Digest. From an oceanfront pied-à-terre in Hollywood, Florida, to a simple seaside retreat in the Bahamas, these getaways are sure to inspire wanderlust in beachgoers of every variety. \\n\\nShown: Alessandra Branca's vibrant vacation compound on Harbour Island in the Bahamas follows the traditional Bahamian upside-down house plan, which calls for bedrooms on the ground floor and public spaces on the upper level.\nTo design their home in Laguna Beach, California, entrepreneurs Sarah and Thom McElroy enlisted Steven Ehrlich and Takashi Yanai of Ehrlich Architects. A minimalist walkway of marble slab steps leads to the entrance of the house, portions of which are clad in teak; the landscape was devised by Sarah McElroy in collaboration with Larry Steinle.\nThis Spanish Colonial–style home in Pebble Beach, California, received a sumptuous makeover from design firm JP Molyneux Studio. The courtyard, shown here, is outfitted with a Michael Taylor Designs table and McKinnon and Harris chairs; the hand-painted tilework around the arches is by Atelier Prométhée. Bernard Trainor + Assoc. consulted on the landscape design.\nThe expansive terrace at real-estate magnate Jorge Pérez's oceanside pied-à-terre in Hollywood, Florida, offers breathtaking ocean views.\nAt a Long Island beachfront hideaway devised by architect Thomas Kligerman, peak-capped windows and fieldstone chimneys lend distinctive character to the house's asymmetrical profile.\nStylist Carlos Mota feeds chickens in the backyard of his Dominican Republic beach house.\nAt a dazzling Nantucket harborside site, Jacobsen Architecture reimagined the island's residential vernacular in an extraordinary compound of modest, cleverly planned cottages connected by enclosed breezeways. From a distance, the estate resembles a colony of small cottages, with a series of pitched roofs peaking above the foliage.\nPorches and balconies lend a summery look to a Shingle Style Hamptons house devised by Robert A.M. Stern Architects and decorated by design firm S. R. Gambrel.\nEvening at the strikingly streamlined oceanside Malibu, California, home of real-estate entrepreneur Kurt Rappaport. The architecture and landscaping are by Scott Mitchell Studio, and the interiors are by Denise Kuriger Design.\nGeorge Clooney's Mexican villa stands next to Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber's on the Baja peninsula.\nWith its earth-tone façade and tile roof, a modern Los Cabos, Mexico, vacation home designed by Olson Kundig Architects and designer Terry Hunziker nods to the traditional Spanish-style dwellings found in the area.\nAt movie producer Avi Arad's minimalist Malibu weekend house, a limestone slab path leads to the beach.\nInterior designer Tom Scheerer's Bahamian beachside retreat is a stark stucco-covered collection of structures set at the edge of undulating dunes.\nAt designer Celerie Kemble's Dominican Republic beach compound lacy white gingerbread houses emerge from a lush surround of foliage.\\n\\nRelated: The Ultimate Summer House Guide: Beautiful Beach Houses, Country Homes, and More

New Delhi, Jun 26 (UNI) Miffed at all the criticism being levelled at him after the SAFF Cup debacle, Indian coach Bob Houghton has threatened to leave if people want him to.
''If someone out there really suggests that I am not needed, I will not take much time to say 'Thank you very much' and part company,'' Houghton said. ''I have been doing my job with utmost dedication and passion. I am trying to help out Indian football in the best way I can.'' ''Only eight months are left out in my contract. Yet I have been constantly talking about youth development and what India should do to realise their 2018 World Cup dream. I will not be benefited from that. Still I am saying it because I want Indian football to progress,'' he added.
Houghton faced flak from several quarters after India lost the SAFF Cup final to hosts Maldives on June 14.
When asked about the reason for India's SAFF Cup loss, Houghton replied, ''In the Nehru Cup, the only player to get injured was Deepak (Mondal). In the SAFF Cup, too many players were injured - Ajayan, Surkumar, Manju, Steven Dias, Renedy Singh. It was a big setback.
''I sometimes ponder what the AFC is all about. In the SAFF Cup, we were made to play five matches in 11 days under the scorching sun and on a ground that was harder than a marble floor. Whatever maybe the opponents, you can't play any better football under such circumstances.'' When asked as to why he did not try out some youngsters for the national team considering the poor bench strength of the Indian squad, the coach said,''If there are 70 Indian footballers playing regularly in the I-League, I know at least 60 of them very well. You name a talented youngster and he has been called to the camp. But you cannot experiment with the national team. You are there to win matches.'' He pointed out the weak structure of Indian football and emphasised the need to put a proper system in place.
''What is needed is to put a system in order. A good I-League played in the weekends along with state league matches in the mid-week will throw up a lot of new players. Tell me, how many I-League clubs allow the youngsters to play regularly?'' Hoghton remarked.
The Englishman further mentioned of certain experienced men in responsible positions expecting the coach to create some magic and take the team to glory.
''There are some people, who think that someone like Scolari and Hiddink would be able to take India to the top. That's a fairytale idea,'' he stated.

It's now time to get to know Brewer all over again; this time, as the newest member of the defending D-League champion Santa Cruz Warriors. The truth is, he did something quite admirable, as it relates to this generation of NBA players, last season. "I sat out last year. I didn't get invited to training camp. People thought I was hurt or whatnot. I was working out and staying in shape, but I started taking online classes. I got to the point where I was two classes away before I could graduate since I [initially] left school for the NBA Draft," Brewer explained to RidiculousUpside.com. "I still have the desire to play basketball. I wanted to give this another shot. There's a lot of great talent in the D-League, and the Warriors are a great organization. I'm blessed."

There are still companies arguing about the good things about waterfall… So I'll take "being agile" from another angle and will try to prove being agile is just being smarter than using waterfall!
First: where is the problem on any project?
From , https://dannorth.net/2010/08/30/introducing-deliberate-discovery/
"Learning is the constraint"
Liz Keogh told me about a thought experiment she came across recently. Think of a recent significant project or piece of work your team completed (ideally over a period of months). How long did it take, end to end, inception to delivery? Now imagine you were to do the same project over again, with the same team, the same organisational constraints, the same everything, except your team would already know everything they learned during the project. How long would it take you the second time, all the way through? Stop now and try it.
It turned out answers in the order of 1/2 to 1/4 the time to repeat the project were not uncommon. This led to the conclusion that "Learning is the constraint".
Edit: Liz tells Dan North the thought experiment and quote originated with Ashley Johnson of Gemba Systems, and she heard about it via César Idrovo.
If we assume the only difference is that the second time round you have learned about the problem, this would suggest that the biggest impediment to your throughput was what you didn't know.
So the problem is: the main constraint on a project is lack of knowledge.
So what is the solution?
The solution is to make learning more effective. So how?
- Work on high value and high risk requirements first and don't waste time yet on low value and high risk:
- High risk means lack of knowledge is important (high risk = we don't know how this is going to work out).
- Then high value, low risk
- Low value, low risk
- Finally, if any money left, low value, high risk: why? Why would you spend time learning on something that has low value and may not be needed at the end?
- Request for feedback as quickly as possible: how do you know what you have learned is correct? How do you know you have understand your customers? Learning is effective if first what you have learnt is correct: your customers will tell you. Ask for quick feedback. Don't delay.
- Work as a team:
- One does not know everything, communicate as often as possible with your team members and customers (or proxies). You'll learn a lot from people, not necessarily because they know more but by discussing, they may ask you some very good questions!
- Don't split design, development and testing between different people: make sure same people work on all phases otherwise team members spend time transferring information; spend time sharing information.
- Fail fast, learn fast, improve fast: give the team an environment to try and experiment new things. But since we want quick feedback, if they fail, they will fail quickly, learn faster and improve faster!
- Be strong on Quality: whatever you deliver, accept it only if it meets your criteria in terms of quality. I am not saying "get it right first time", quite the opposite. Go fast, get feedback, iteration until quality is right and product is right. Because you iterate quickly, they will get it right quickly and will know how to get right faster next time.
- Foster a "learning" culture: books are amazing; some people have a wealth of experience they have captured in books; learn from them so you can quicken learning (from years – for the authors – to weeks – for you!).
- And then, use BDD: BDD is asking concrete questions to get concrete examples from your customers. Conversations are the critical part. And the added benefits are: faster learning and understanding of what the right product to build is; set of acceptance scenarios (tests); drive development (and living documentation); and even executable spec (when you automate these examples); etc
If you agree, "lack of knowledge" is really the constraint, then if you focus on learning effectively, you will deliver faster than when using waterfall and also you will demotivate your teams (if you are already using Scrum or Kanban too)!
So, being agile is learning more effectively so hence reducing the main constraint on your project so reducing time-to-market for your product: this is being business friendly… Sooner (less costly), faster (shorter time-to-market) hence higher ROI!
There are lots of prototyping tools out there. I have found Visio to be on the best tools, not only for pure UX creation but as an overall tool to be used from gathering requirements to testing and support.
Benefits of Visio – the tool that goes a long way, depth and width on a project:
- When gathering user stories, you can quickly prototype some workflows to confirm your understanding of the user stories.
- You can put a few screens and their interactions in on single page having a quite complete view of a specific "theme" (set of user stories that are related).
- Visio is part of microsoft offices so companies have already licenses for it and can be installed easily on people's computer. In other words, you don't need to go and justify your manager to buy an expensive UX tool.
- Visio allows multiple layers: from navigation by linking screens with arrows, specifying Business Rules by adding information on these arrows, adding details on each UI element (dates, buttons, filters etc),having a quite high fidelity prototype
- Visio is great for testing: since so much information is on a visio page, you can just go through each UI element, business rules, error messages to confirm the application matches your visio spec.
- Visio is great as a reference to your application for support: functional specs are hard to maintain; visio is quick to update: you just need to see, not to read.
- Visio is visual… People are visual
- The example below seems complicated as multiple layers are provided… But this example of a true project isn't complicated. Why? Simply because creating the UX is an iterative and continuous effort. Everybody working on the application is involved one way of the other, including engineers developing the product.
Having involved in 2 data migration projects, a big one and a small one, this is the approach that has worked using scrum:
- Balance depth and width
- Don't go to deep as not all data is as important as other.
- DEPTH is harder than WIDTH.
- If you cannot measure the quality of the data you have migrated at the end of the sprint, you have been too deep or/and too wide (do not trade of quality for quantity): this is key!
Let's assume for a project you have ten of thousands of "customers* to move from one source of data made of multiple DBs where business rules have evolved and no all data are "compliant" against the rules added (example: password protection requires special characters now). For each customer, loads of data needs to be migrated. You have split population into small populations.
Sprint 1: Simplicity – Migrate successfully a tiny population using few data – Go for smaller.
- Select a small population and migrate minimum amount of data, reducing size of the population if needed. Example:
- Name, first name and date of birth
- Put automated tests in place ("count" etc)
- Put data quality reporting in place with CLEAR information why some "customers" were not migrated.
Of course, there isn't much value yet because you may not be able to use such data in your product…Still keep the amount of data to be migrated small: don't look for depth or width but for Quality, especially in the reporting and testing. Migration should be to an environment as close as possible to the production environment.
Sprint 2 – Go slowly for depth and faster for width
- Based on sprint 1, for the chosen tiny population, add more data to be migrated: DEPTH. For instance, add addresses. DEPTH is difficult so go slowly.
- Based on sprint 1, because you have automated your testing and your reporting, increase size of your population and continue migrating data based on the Name, first name and date of birth only: WIDTH. Don't be too cautious: automation allows to go a bit faster (if not, review your automation).
Why? DEPTH is because you need to have some *customers* migrated to test your new application. WIDTH: because of quality of the data, performance, memory usage, etc and because it should be easier than going for DEPTH
Sprint 3: Iterate
Keep focusing on DEPTH and WIDTH: do not add more data to "WIDTH" until you have covered a first small population you would be happy to migrate. Keep focusing on DEPTH too.
From my experience, migration can become a nightmare when the quality of data migrated is not under-controlled: you go for depth with a big population and struggle to measure anything, worse you are flooded with poor data. Baby steps are critical here: quality should not be traded-off.
Goal is not to start another war between the #NoEstimates and the others – I still like the idea of Mike Cohn: Commitment-driven.
The goal is to see how I could replace splitting tasks into hours (#NoEstimates?) to get commitment and tracking progress for the benefit of the team.
Option 1: classic commitment driven
Option 2: slicing user stories into "tasks" less than 1 day (#NoEstimate?).
Option 1 – Estimation story points and hours
Step 1: Estimate in story points – using planning poker where the goal isn't only to get estimates but to clarify user stories: this is a coaching tool, not an estimation tool.
Step 2: Break down user stories into tasks and estimate them in hours at sprint planning. Use "hours left" to calibrate "commitment" for following sprints.
Option 2: Estimation story points and user tasks less than a day
Step 1: same
Step 2: At sprint planning, break down your user stories in smaller "user tasks" (task a the user can complete): they aren't "user stories" per se but instead of splitting them "waterfall" style, you break them in terms of "workflows" that could possibly add values.
Let's say you have a 5 point user story about "customer log in", you could have "user tasks" as opposed to "development tasks" such as:
- Customer has a in valid email or password
- Customer is offered to create an account
- Customer can retrieve his password
- Customer can retrieve his email address
- Customer has a valid user name and password
Now we are happy, they can all be implemented within a day (if not we slice again the not small enough ones) – this is to keep the idea of achieving something every day: "small" means less than a day. So, looking closely, these seem like acceptance tests in fact (so I am going in the direction of Ron Jeffrey in that context).
So I guess I have not "estimated" tasks into hours hence I am a #NoEstimates (from what I have read). So the team can go ahead with their sprint!
For tracking, we could say in the first sprint, we have 50 days of work and commit to 60 "user tasks" and we commit based on "user tasks" all less than 1 day and see how we perform (calibration). Then I can use cycle-time.
- No need to break user story down until we decide to implement them: "just-in-time"
- We keep velocity as it works and planning poker as a coaching tool.
- We reduce waste or kill 2 birds with one stone: we break down user stories into acceptance tests ("user tasks").
- Less than 1 day is still a day: let's assume one engineer starts implementing a user task that should be a couple of hours but she/he believes there is more work involved and ends up spending the whole day: this is waste. Hold on: this is miscommunication so let's put a process. Hold on: processes? Not very agile… What is the likelyhood of this happening? In fact, probably quite low: there is a design task to clarify further; if you waste time once, you may want to think further next time.
- You miss the simple chat: I still think for clarity, since you have already broken down user stories into tasks, a quick estimate on hours allows double-checking we are all clear. In fact, the whole point of estimating isn't getting getting estimates, this is to make sure we are on the same wavelength. JUST TO BE CLEAR: the purpose isn't to have a list of tasks and hours: it is to arrive to a commitment.
What about classic tasks such as design, unit testing etc?
- Now, some user stories may require some level of thinking in terms of design so why not be explicit about it. You can add a design task.
- What about code review? This is in the DoD so technically, you can add it to the work with the user task.
- What about unit testing? Acceptance tests? Same, since this is part of DoD, this is included in the user task.
So a user task is done follows the same DoD than a user story. So we have done is breaking down user stories into small valuable tasks.
So what is left to "estimate" is effort for the design and design should be less than a day quite likely.
You can break down user stories into design of the user stories and acceptance tests and use cycle time.
You can also get quite estimates on each user tasks but with the goal in mind to just double-check we are all on the samewavelength and that can't cost much.
"To make an idea work, you need to build on an idea, not destroy it"
An example of epic progress report in Excel:
File: Epic Progress Report
Here is a list of tips to improve your product backlog – reminder: still around conversation!
- Impact mapping: link business with user stories (impactmapping.org)
- It does answer the question: what is end goal of such user story: increasing sales? Remaining competitive? Catching up with the competition? etc
- User story mapping: link
- Low fidelity prototyping: using powerpoint, drawing, balsamic etc
- Before trying to get UX details, allow you to test a new idea
- Using powerpoint is very easy and everybody can reuse the work and collaborate:
- Define UX: drawing on a piece of paper or on visio for instance can be very quick and can help refine some user stories: this is very effective when having a UX parallel development track
- Having INVEST user stories: the best way to know whether this is testable is to write some example tests and using BDD format is great (Given/When/Then)
- The great thing about examples, apart from confirming the user story, is that some examples become user stories. Examples help flash out critical details.
- Make business rules explicit: rules are quite often "embedded" in the user stories. I have found make them explicit (When "event" Then "Action") can be helpful especially when documenting your software product. You can add these rules in your UX design too.
- Example: When password or username is incorrect, Then user should try to reset their password or try another time (up to 3x)
- When user has failed 3 times, then user must reset his password
- Example: When password or username is incorrect, Then user should try to reset their password or try another time (up to 3x)
Quite a lot to get on with it – but don't forget this is a collaborative effort whatever options you use!

starts to fall apartMature
Still, he pulled two of his 18 year old co-hosts and took them to the pub. He remembered buying them cocktails, dancing andbeing warned to "take it into the toilets if you're that keen on her, mate."
When he emerged the club was even more packed. Word had got out that he was in the club and the girls weren't disappointed, screaming rabidly as he emerged, shirt undone, to have a dance with the prettier ones.then waking up in a police cell.
He hadn't planned to wake up in a police cell the next morning.
"What did I do?" he asked when the officer came to check on him.
"Well son, you were warned for being drunk and disorderly. You then threw your drink at the officer and told him to "fuck off". When he arrested you he punched him, breaking his nose."
"I don't see what's wrong with being drunk in public, how else was I supposed to get to me car? I can't fuckin' teleport!"
"Sir, there's no need for that language." He leaned back against the wall.
In Nottingham, he got into another scuffle. He was once again apprehended for being drunk and disorderly and once again told the officer to fuck off. After being told not to swear, he took the officer's helmet and did a ver sarcastic impersonation of the arresting officer.
"Did I punch another copper?" he asked. The policewoman shook her head.
"You need to stop drinking."
"That's part of me job!" She wasn't impressed and neither was the judge. As always they gave him a fine and community service in return for pleading guilty. Prison was for serious offenders, not twats who drank too much.
"Who did I punch this time?"
"No one. You ripped open a policewoman's blouse and motor boated her." It turned out, as it happened, that the policewoman didn't want to press charges. In actual fact, after meeting her sober, he took her for a couple of dates. She was pretty and had a good pair of tits, but was a little bit boring. The unashamed objectification went both ways, after all.
He used the band's forthcoming album as an excuse to stop seeing her, and she accepted it. She would boast to her girlfriends that he'd nailed her, not having been after any more. It meant the girls would come see him when he next played the town, hanging around afterwards for him to take another crack at.
Randy celebrated his 21stin Amsterdam, spending the next day in bed with a skull-crushing hangover. He had a gig to play the next night, and was only just sober enough to make the sound-check. By the time it came to the show he'd downed a bottle of vodka and could just stand.
If there's one part of his legend that's true, it's that he became someone else when he was on stage. No matter how drunk or strung out or high he was, he could turn in a legendary performance every night. Indeed, some nights it saved the band.
The singer noticed that the girls screamed louder for the guitarist than for him. They had always called for them both, but the cheers were now defiantly louder for the other.
He was equally egocentric and became jealous of him very quickly. They were all professional enough for it not to affect their performance but the singer flew into a rage backstage. James hated sharing the limelight and didn't want to lose it. He punched Randy in the face, breaking his nose. The force knocked him out and he came round in the hospital later.
The hospital bill, including a stomach pumping, came to £1,500. This was almost half what the tour had cost to put on and their furious manger put the blame squarely on James. "Most expensive thing you've ever broken!" Randy told him when he appeared to sulkily apologise.
Strangely, when the others were moping over women, it was the piano project at his mum's he missed. It wasn't that he didn't love women – Randy Shagger was a title hard-won – he just didn't feel the need for a steady girlfriend. One day he'd pick up a nice girl and make a home with her, but until then he was going to enjoy the fruits of his success.
His female fans wrote to him asking for dates. Sometimes he wrote back to them with his phone number and they'd arrange a time and place, sometimes he replied and politely declined.
At the age of 21, he was so revered as a musician that lesser bands asked him to collaborate on work. He was notoriety-rich but cash-poor and couldn't afford to say no to these offers. By the time he was 25 he had developed a reputation for insane spontaneous orgies after shows as the payment in kind he expected.
On one occasion he was asked to work with an emerging pop group, all female, all aged 21 – 23. He was a week shy of his 23rdbirthday, which was why he was in such high spirits. Actually working with them on the song bored him rigid, but he was planning to have the group of pretty girls at his birthday party.
They were performing in this small club in the middle of nowhere and he'd been drinking all day – even here people knew his name and everyone he met had bought him a drink. By the time he got on stage he could just about make his way to stage right, depending on the amps and the girl's positions to orientate himself. The curtains were closed until they were in place, which was good for the audience.
Once he was in position though, he was unstoppable. If you were there you'd have seen the pure anguish on his face, that someone as immensely gifted as him should be playing this trite to pay the bills. He was shaking, you could tell he was desperate to just take the simple melody and turn it into one of his famed improvisation pieces.
The girls became aware of the tension just after the third song and the mood changed. They knew how lucky they were that he had decided to join them for this show and raise their profile. They owed him something for his troubles and it didn't take long for them to work out what.
After an hour and an half the three girls and he rushed off backstage, locking the dressing room door behind them. After just moments there was the loudest wailing and moaning any of us had ever heard. They all tried to convince this thick-headed brute that worked as security that they were having intercourse, but he had seen three women go in and only one man; he couldn't be having sex with all three at a time!
Against their advice he smashed the door in. What he found gave him a heart attack. Randy was kneeling in front of the oldest one, trying to snort cocaine off her thighs. She was wearing just her bra and he was wearing nothing. At the same time the other two girls were lying on the floor, both also naked, kissing and cuddling each other.
Randy finished the two lines, stared the security guard in the eye (propping himself up on her thigh) and finished off. "I had to release that tension somehow" he said when the police arrived.
The notoriously humourless English police were rarely swayed by hisbon mots.For this offense he was given a £1,000 fine plus the cost of any damages. The court offered to sway the fine if he'd make a public apology, but his lawyer slapped his hand over his client's mouth to silence him. Had he been allowed his say he would have been held in contempt of court.
Besides irritating the police and drinking, he spent his down time talking to interviewers. He enjoyed having someone who was interested in what he had to say and getting paid for it. In fact, he had a car that he used solely for posing for photographsin.It was the kind of pointless luxury he now felt entitled to.
At 26 he met the woman who would be his wife. She had been in a record store looking at his LPs and he told her "Buy that, it's life-changing." Amazingly this line worked and she accepted his offer of a drive round the nearby countryside. He bought her some wine, they had an improvised picnic on a hill and she was returned to her home just before 8pm when her father returned.
This episode went so well that they went out to dinner a week or so later. It was then that he discovered she was just 17, a potentially dangerous gap. He'd thought she was 21, which made it little better.
She was an intelligent girl but this was a different time and birth control pills were not as reliable. He had a latex allergy and they relied on the Pill. Inevitably it went wrong and she found herself with child when they'd been seeing each other for a year and a half.
One Saturday morning, when his brain was whirring in his skull, he heard a knock. He was in no state to accept visitors.Another knockThey knocked again. No answer. A furious voice roared "You've knocked my daughter up;,I'm coming in one way or another." Randy was frozen with terror. He always kept the bathroom window open and her father would force his way through that. Randy couldn't move as he heard the window being forced out.
Her father came and threatened him with a knife. He had never liked the man out of a hatred for modern music and he was convinced a musician couldn't support a family.
"Shagger! What kind of surname is that?" he raged. "I can't have my daughter being a Shagger!"
"My surname's Portcollis" he said. "She'd be Mrs. Portcollis."
"What's your trade, boy?"
"Carpentry... I make my own guitars." The father sneered but put the knife back in his belt.
"I don't like youoryour music, so if you don't do the decent thing and marry her I will kill you, and I'll enjoy it." He forced his future son in law to his feet. "I shall get my daughter; you will get an engagement ring. Get dressed and buy one." Randy was stunned and remembered nothing until he was trying to remember her ring size.
The sales girls seemed quite upset when they saw him shopping for engagement rings. It meant some other bitch had snared the man they wanted to marry. Through their tears they asked why he was suddenly getting married. Knowing that every word would be in the tabloids the next morning he told them he'd got a girl pregnant. It would have come out anyway.
His next memory was proposing to her in his messyliving room.flat.She accepted, knowing she had no choice either. These were not ideal circumstances, he had wanted to wait a little longer and propose on their second anniversary, or their third or fourth, or the one following her inevitable disappearance. He wasn't much of a man for planning and a wife would have been ahindrancehinderance.
He was just off a flight from Paris when his fiancée went into labour. He was drunk and tired yet managed to drive her to the hospital safely, a fifteen minute drive from their house. While she was having their son he fell asleep in the chair.
He saw her once in labour and threw up. The nurse and midwife were busy with Mary and didn't notice the three dry heaves, meaning he vomited before they could get him a bowl. He was tired beyond caring and two nurses were needed to pull him out the chair and to the patient showers.
The nurse emptied his pockets and took his clothes to the laundry. The nurses were used to this; the hospital was in a poor area and many new fathers turned up drunk or high. Many new mothers did too, sadly. "Take your time, it'll be a long birth."
The shower sobered him, but it didn't wake him up very much. He'd had eight hours sleep over the previous week and it was miraculous that his erratic driving hadn't killed anyone.
Wrapped in just the towel, he leaned back against the rough chair and watched her force the child into the world. At least in this state he wasn't worried about trying to be of use, unlike some of the fathers on the ward.
He woke up again and watched as the child was put into her arms. "Randall, Randall... Randy? What do we call him?"
"Him?" It still hadn't dawned on him that he was now a father. "Name him after your dad."
"Why not yours?" The newborn made a small sound and Randy's chest swelled with unplaceable emotions.
"I'm just kowtowing to your father. He honestly scares me, Mary." He pulled himself up and lurched to the bed to look at his son. "William, you're beautiful." He wished he could hold him but he hardly had the energy to hold himself up.
Her bed gave a perfect view of the main entrance to the hospital. Journalists from every newspaper were camped outside the hospital. Randy would be expected to go out and show off the new child, but his clothes seemed to have been lost in the wash. There was no way he'd be able to go out in the hospital gown. His white jacket had stayed clean, but that would be no use on its own.
Thankfully his mother arrived with a change of clothes. "Your father was sick when you were born" she said to comfort him. She cooed over her new grandson. "He's beautiful." Randy was too overwhelmed to respond, staying in the chair while his mother and fiancée talked. This child, while beautiful and amazing, was the end of a previous life.
Immediately his world shifted. The child was now the centre of his world, a sentiment shared by the singer. James had accidentally knocked up his girlfriend too, but her father was more permissive and only asked he support the child as best he could.
They married in church three months after he was born. It wasn't the way Randy wanted it – he'd stopped going to church long ago – but her father had insisted this was how it was to be. His hopes had been for a long engagement, the kind to stop their families nagging about commitment.
For the first four years they got on well together, producing a second son two years after William. It was testament to his creative abilities that the character of Randy endured this happy marriage. There were still women and he still boned them, but the flings were now rarer and he told his wife afterwards.
Following the birth of Charles, the second son, she became more paranoid. The band was very successful now and he would spend months on tour. She hadn't minded when he was away for weeks, but James had impregnated one of the backing dancers on a four-month stint. Months gave time to develop a relationship, the thing that worried her most.
She wasn't a big party-goer, but her husband still loved them. Besides, he had to turn up at all promotional events and award ceremonies. The girls had sent in letters asking to be his date to every event when he was single, and he'd obliged, taking the pretty female fans to these events. Now it was known his wife was uninterested, they began asking again. The more photogenic ones got taken to these events. The first couple of times were scandalous, but it soon became apparent that they were competition winners.

European Parliament, Strasbourg; Athens, Greece; Geneva, Switzerland

Tax Fraud, Evasion and Havens: "We Want our Money Back" Say S&D Euro MPs
They led a cross-party majority on a report drafted by S&D MEP Mojca Kleva Kekuš which proposed 30 specific measures to act against tax fraud, evasion, avoidance and tax havens.
Said S&D Group president Hannes Swoboda during a debate today in Strasbourg:
"We need strong action, not just declarations. »
"We want our money back from the tax havens" he said, referring to former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher's famous demand on the UK rebate from the European budget.
"The money is there and we want it back. It is not acceptable that €1 trillion – €2000 per citizen – is not going to investments but is lost to tax havens or tax evasion."
He added that it is "shameful" that EU finance ministers had to rely on investigative journalists to get names and data for offshore accounts.
"Citizens feel that journalists have more powers or more willingness to fight tax evasion than their governments and that is not acceptable", he said.
He called on Austria and Luxembourg to agree to the full package of measures to fight tax evasion, including the extension of automatic information exchanges between fiscal administrations.
Against the background of extreme austerity and rising unemployment, he concluded "we need investment, especially for the younger generation.

"Overall Amazing Experience"
We travel to Europe annually and have visited many countries. No where in our travels have we met such a kind and thoughtful person as Frank. We felt completely at home mostly due to his careful planning of his property and famous words "don't worry". You truly need not worry when Frank is helping you. This trip has been a special one for us as it was our first to Malta and Gozo. The hospitality of the Maltese and Gozoitans ware unparalleled to any other country we have been to. Thanks Frank for a wonderful introduction to your beautiful island and look forward to more Canadians to follow us as we fully recommend Mediterranea Seaviews to all of our friends. ***** 6 out of 5 stars from us.
Response from the owner, Frank - 09/12/2015
Thank you so much for your amazing words in describing your Gozo experience at Mediterranea Seaviews Gozo Holiday Home. It was really a Great pleasure meeting and introducing you to our island. You had been fantastic guests, a pleasure to meet and share and we are extremely delighted to know you have had an overall amazing experience of Gozo island as locals and definitely not tourists! We are very pleased to know too that all our recommendations and suggestions proved to be excellent, more than worthwhile and surely made a huge difference in your Gozo vacation.

"In love with Gozo"
This trip was by far one of the best we have taken, and it had a lot to do with the location of Mediterranea and Frank! Frank was an incredible host. Not only did he brief us on what Gozo had to offer, but he also gave us directions on how to get to those places. We really feel like we experienced all of Gozo's historical sites and their secret gems in the short amount of time we were there. The people of Gozo are incredible! This community is one of the nicest and giving places we have ever visited.Also, the location of the Mediterranea was perfect! We were walking distance to all the necessities (grocery, restaurants, ferry, bus stops, etc.); and you cannot beat any of the gorgeous views on any of it's 3 terraces. Everything was perfect! Clean, plenty of towels and linens, lunch upon our arrival, and all of the amenities you can think of! You really get 5-star service/experience, while living in the comfort of your own home. I cannot say enough good things about Gozo, the Mediterranea, and Frank. We miss it already!
Response from the owner, Frank - 02/01/2015

"6* Stunning, Beautiful, Relaxing"
Having stayed in many 5* hotels and self catering establishments around the world I am definitely giving this one 6* plus. Thank you so much for making our stay in your house quite a unique experience, which began with your initial emails that gave us so much detail; from the wonderful welcome you and your mum gave us, the attention to detail you provide is simply outstanding. This holiday on Gozo will stay in our memories forever. Thank you once again.
Response from the owner, Frank - 11/18/2014
I really do appreciate a lot your time and effort in putting online your experience at Mediterranea Seaviews Gozo through words. This is our main satisfaction - knowing you have been relaxed, away from it all - happy and at peace; well prepared to discover Gozo the local way and then rest in a completely private home away from any other tourist resort, but at the same time in a great location near the sea to discover Gozo on foot and by the 3B - buses (3 bus stops within 100 metres), boats and ferries (12 minutes walk) and new bicycles (all free in the accommodation). You were both Great guests and it was a Big pleasure to host and share some of Gozo's best insights with you. Definitely, we'll use your feedback to improve even more the comfort and services at Mediterranea Seaviews holiday home at Ghajnsielem, Gozo. You are always welcome anytime, any day. Grazzi hafna / Many thanks, Frank.

"Second Stay at Mediterranea"
After our (family with 13 year old daughter) very good experiences from last year we again booked Frank's nice vacation rental "Mediterranea Seaviews" on Gozo for October this year. And again we had a pleasant and enjoyable stay thanks to Frank's and his mother's astounding warm hospitality. As our trolleys were not forwarded on our flight from Vienna to Malta, Frank was very helpful to keep the contact with the airport at Luqa for us, encouraged us not to give up hope, and offered his help with every kind of supplies we needed. The trolleys indeed arrived one by one after 1-2 days of anxious waiting. After our arrival Frank kindly arranged for us to enjoy the delivery service of a supermarket for our first purchase in order to make our first day as comfortable as possible. Also the frig was filled with some necessities. And some food was prepared also for us. Frank always discreetly offered his friendly assistance and his good advice, and in every situation turned out to be a reliable guide. We greatly appreciated his profound knowledge, valuable proposals, and helpful support as well as his good relationships to make the right decisions for our sightseeing, swimming, and other activities and to get in touch with local people and institutions. Frank can convey the real Gozitan historical and traditional insights as well as recommend the best places to visit on this tiny island. And he was never wrong with his suggestions. He really wants to ensure that his guests feel happy. His house (3 floors and a roof terrace on 2 levels) on the road between Mgarr and Nadur/Qala with a gorgeous 360° panoramic view provides all necessary facilities and amenities for a self-catering accomodation, has new robust mountain bikes available, and offers a good choice of literature and well selected handouts on every aspect of interest on Gozo & Malta. In short: Highly recommendable for all who want to get in touch with local life on Gozo and to detect all the hidden charms of the island.

"Third time at Mediterranea Seaviews Gozo"
Our third time at Mediterranea Seaviews Gozo If it wouldn't be so wonderful and unique, we wouldn't have come for the third time. My brother came here for the first time and he is a fan of Gozo and Frank's hospitality too. We were again touched by the wonderful, heartful atmosphere with you and your mum Salvina although you had so many trouble with your knee. You were so attentive, cautious and heartful in your doing and taking care for all of us. We felt so happy, relaxed and mostly welcomed here that we can only thank you for everything what you have done for us. Grazzi hafna!
Response from the owner, Frank - 08/20/2014

"We have never expected anything like this!"
We definitely will recommend our wonderful home away from home to all our friends, family & colleagues!!! because there is no way to find a better host than Frank, we enjoyed every trip and every conversation a lot. Frank really takes care of everything (which you might need) and of course he is such a brilliant person. His service included also the transfer to the ferry terminal, fishmarket and other shops which is a great help! And of course i have to mention the amazing local villiage tour where we were able to see Gozo with the eyes from a local! Frank always supported us as a friend, not only as a host! His beautiful house Mediterranea is in Mgarr, Gozo! We fell in love with Gozo for its interesting (and old) history, beautiful landscape, friendly people and nice architecture. Mediterranea is a wonderful place to be because you find everything you need (and even lots of more), it has great views and it's lovely decorated. You can also buy fresh fruits/vegetables/bread in front of the house. Thank you for such a great time!
Response from the owner, Frank - 05/15/2014

"eine wunderschöne Woche auf Gozo"
Gleich der erste positive Eindruck von Frank, unserem Gastgeber: Kaum 1 Stunde nach meiner ersten anfrage per Internet bekomme ich von ihm einen Rückruf. Nachdem wir (eine Familie mit Tochter (12 Jahre) und Freundin (12 Jahre)) das Haus für die gewünschte Zeit buchen können, schickt uns Frank von Zeit zu Zeit e-Mails mit allen erdenklichen Informationen über den künftigen aufenthalt (Ausstattuung des Hauses, Anreise, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Badeplätze, Ausflugstipps, Busverbindungen). Schon bevor wir die Insel betreten haben, kümmert sich Frank umgehend um alle weiteren anfragen und Belange, erledigt kleine Besorgungen im Vorfeld, schickt auf Wunsch Fotos, bleibt in freundlichem Kontakt. Frank ist ein außergewöhnlicher Gastgeber mit einer wahren Passion für das Wohl seiner Gäste. Außerdem vermittelt er seinen Gästen gerne Natur, Geschichte, Kultur und den besonderen Charakter seiner Heimatinsel Gozo und ermöglicht Kontakte zu deren Bewohnern. Frank ist es mit seiner immer freundlichen art und Hilfsbereitschaft gelungen, dass unser aufenthalt zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis geworden ist. Er hat ein großes, schönes und sauberes Haus, in dem es an nichts fehlt. Dessen Dachterrasse bietet einen phantastischen 360° Panoramablick. Wer Malta und Gozo abseits der üblichen Hotelanlagen und des Pauschaltourismus kennenlernen möchte, der ist bei Frank gut aufgehoben. Unbedingt weiterzuempfehlen für alle, die es familiär lieben.
Response from the owner, Frank - 11/09/2013

Grazzi hafna, Frank.
"The best place to stay in all of Gozo/Malta"
Frank was amazing. Always available, attentive, informative and really made us feel at home. He took us out kayaking to Comino island and Blue Lagoon (incredible!), showed us around the village and introduced us to the locals, took us around shopping and gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations. The house had everything we could have asked for, including amazing views, bikes to ride around the island, plenty of space, dishware, and just felt generally clean. There was a bus stop right outside our door and it was an easy walk to the Mgarr harbor with tons of restaurants and the ferry to Malta. It was a wonderful night walk with great views as well. The entire island is much more calm than Malta. We loved that. The produce was exceptional, people were very friendly and we felt so relaxed in every way. Would recommend this place to anyone!
Response from the owner, Frank - 11/07/2013
It was really great to welcome you to Gozo! It is our greatest satisfaction you have had a wonderful stay at Mediterranea Seaviews accommodation in Ghajnsielem Gozo. It is even more satisfying for us knowing that you have enjoyed your stay and discovered Gozo in a very sustainable way - using the local public transport, the free bicycles at Mediterranea and walking to the nearby amenities including the boats to Comino and Blue Lagoon beach, boat cruises around Gozo and Comino, restaurants, bars and local bakery and shops... and of course sea kayaking in Gozo and Comino. You are most welcome anytime! Thanks, Frank.

Question: I know there are a few very talented running backs in this draft. What differentiates you from the others that's going to motivate an NFL club to pick you over them?
LenDale White: I'm probably the biggest running back of the group, I think that's what separates me from those guys. I'm big, agile, have good footwork and I can catch the ball.
Q: I've seen you referred to as an individual with a quiet confidence. Is that an accurate description of your personality?
LW: Being in the situation I was in at USC, we won a lot of football games, back-to-back championships and almost a third. Being behind Reggie and Matt and seeing what those guys have done and seeing what I could do playing with those guys raised my confidence level. I have all the confidence in the world but it's up to me to show it.
Q: Is there a big difference in LenDale White's personality on the football field versus who you are off the field?
LW: Oh yeah, there's a big difference. I'm outgoing off the field, but not as nitty and gritty as I am on the field, trying to instill an intimidation factor and get my team the win. Off the field I'm never really out or in the public eye, I'm at home all the time just hanging out playing video games.
Q: What do you love the most about playing football?
LW: I love the competition and being able to compete. I love playing with my teammates, all 11 guys are there for the same reason: The offensive line is there to protect the quarterback and get the running back as many yards as they can, I'm there to get as many yards as I can, block for the quarterback, catch the ball and score touchdowns. Knowing that everyone's there for one reason is what I love the most, we're a family all trying to achieve one goal.
Q: Former offensive guard John Drake commented on you and Reggie Bush saying, "Reggie is our physical mismatch, but LenDale is the law." What do you think about that comment?
LW: I'm honored by that. Reggie is definitely a playmaker, he's a game changer, and he can do things that normal people can't do. I can set the pace. Whenever I get in the game and get the ball, I try to get in a rhythm and control the game; taking time off the clock…I can do that – a quick punch.
Q: It seemed like with the relationship you had with Reggie, how the two of you really worked together, there didn't seem to be a resentment or rivalry that you might have with two guys who are so highly talented. Will you miss hanging with him when you both go your separate ways in the pros?
LW: It's going to be different; it's going to be crazy. I've been playing with Matt and Reggie for three years now, that's what I'm used to…going in that backfield and seeing those guys. I have confidence in what Matt's going to do because I played with him for so long, Reggie might have a 500 yard game one day. It's going to be a big difference.
Q: What was the Combine experience like for you personally?
LW: It was a good experience. You get to go and meet a lot of the athletes you've heard about a lot, people you never thought you would meet. Then you get to meet all the coaches you always see and the scouts, it's a long process so you have to make sure you come in rested. But it also is a lot of fun. You have to come in with an open mind and realize this is your job; they're going to interview you. They want to make sure they're investing into someone they'll get something out of…they aren't into donations.
Q: Were you happy with your performances at the Combine?
LW: I just weighed in and interviewed with some of the teams. For the most part I think I did well. Who knows? Everyone has different opinions, I can't say if a team liked me or disliked me. I just hope everything goes well and I get drafted on draft day.
Q: Did any of them make a big deal about the arthroscopic surgery you had on your ankle last spring?
LW: I missed like three games in my football career and I haven't missed any in my collegiate career at all. Scopes happen here and there -- it helped me if anything. I played a full season and it feels good.
Q: You had formal interviews at the Combine where you meet with the head coaches…
LW: Yeah, we sat down with those guys…Jeff Fisher, Bill Belichick…you know, all the guys you see on TV all the head coaches, assistant coaches. They ask you questions about your background, history, do you have kids, can you help the team, why did you come out early…things like that, and they want to get to know you.
Q: Which teams did you have the face-to-face meeting with the head coach?
LW: Honestly I don't remember, that weekend happened so fast for me. I saw every head coach I could possibly see.
Q: Do you recall sitting down with Tony Dungy of the Colts?
LW: I did sit down with him.
Q: Do you think you'd be a good fit in Indianapolis now that Edgerrin James is gone?
LW: I would love to play in any offense, but playing with Peyton Manning would be even better. I could learn a lot from him. If they draft me I'll go there and be happy and try to win a Super Bowl…that's my objective.
Q: Edgerrin James was an excellent pass blocker for Peyton Manning. How do you access yourself in terms of pass blocking skills?
LW: I could honestly say I could use some improvement with my technique. I think my initial strike in pass blocking is good. Pass blocking is more of an attitude; you have to want to do it. If you want to block, if you want to strike somebody, if it's in your heart…you can do it. Once I improve my technique, I'll be perfect. But I'm hungry and I want to hit somebody.Ed Thompson is the publisher of ColtPower.com, our Colts affiliate on the Scout.com network.

Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal today reacted sharply to the Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit's remarks in which she had advised the SAD patron-in-chief and Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal to "mind his own business and keep away from the Delhi Sikh affairs".
"Will someone please go and tell Delhi CM that Sikh affairs are very much a business of the Sikhs and her government should stay away from the internal religious matters of the Sikh community" Sukhbir said adding that Sheila instead should use her position to ensure better law and order in Delhi.
Punjab deputy CM said by openly talking about an issue which concerns our shrines, Sheila Dikshit has only confirmed Badal's observation that the Congress government in Delhi is indeed interfering in the religious affairs of the Sikhs".
Sukhbir further said that he was amazed at the Delhi chief minister after she chose to speak on what is essentially a religious affair of the Sikh community.
Deputy CM said: "May I ask Delhi CM if she considers herself above the Prime Minister to whom Parkash Singh Badal's communication was addressed."
The Prime Minister is yet to respond to the Punjab chief minister's concerns, but Sheila Dikshit in her wisdom, seems to believe she can pre-empt the PM also, said Sukhbir.
