So in today's installment of the Debs' Blog Tour, we welcome Cheryl Renee Herbsman (YAY!), author of BREATHING. Cheryl has one of the coolest bios (okay, most romantic…and I'm a sucker for a good romance!):
Cheryl Renée Herbsman lives in Northern California with her husband and two children, but she grew up in North Carolina and often spent summer vacations at the Carolina coast. Like Savannah (her main character in BREATHING), she fell in love as a teenager, and like Savannah and Jackson, she and her boyfriend carried on a long-distance relationship. They are now celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary. (Awwww!)
About BREATHING:
What if the guy who took your breath away was the only one who could help you breathe?
Savannah would be happy to spend the summer in her coastal Carolina town lying in a hammock reading her beloved romance novels and working at the library. But then she meets Jackson. Once they lock eyes, she's convinced he's the one—her true love, her soul mate, a boy different from all the rest. And at first it looks like Savannah is right. Jackson abides by her mama's strict rules, and stays by her side during a hospitalization for severe asthma, which Savannah becomes convinced is only improving because Jackson is there. But when he's called away to help his family—and seems uncertain about returning—Savannah has to learn to breathe on her own, both literally and figuratively.
This debut novel has it all—an endearing, funny, hopelessly romantic main character, lots of down-home Southern charm, and a sunny, salty beach setting that will transport you to the Carolina coast.
So, Cheryl, elaborate as much as you want (except, of course, for the ONE-WORD bonus question):
1) Would you rather be the Bestselling Rockstar Author or an Acclaimed Literary Award Winner?
Both ;p
2) Make people laugh, cry, or hide under the covers?
laugh and cry
3) Retire early or just keep writing from your beach house(s)?
keep writing from the beach house
4) FaceBook or MySpace?
ooh, have to go with Facebook
5) After a period, one space or two?
Definitely one.
And your bonus question: What ONE WORD of advice would give to any aspiring writer?

Watch Alberta Cross "Crate of Gold" Video
Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:03:26
Alberta Cross Photos
Alberta Cross Videos
Alberta Cross have dropped their video for "Crate of Gold," featuring The Sopranos actress Drea de Matteo, who is involved in a kidnapping in the clip.
"The concept of this video was developed after our last tour across America and Europe," says Petter Ericson Stakee of Alberta Cross. "You can only handle a certain amount of lack of sleep and waking up in different hotel rooms in different cities every night until paranoia really starts kicking in. We found ourselves all having these crazy trippy nightmares about being chased with plenty of confusion and other mental things. It was quite funny when we all confessed this to each other one morning after a fine night of three hours of sleep!"
Watch the video below:

It was the first face-to face contact between the two men since the IRA were accused of carrying out Britain's biggest bank raid in December - a charge Sinn Féin deny.
A defiant Mr Adams left the meeting saying the peace process was now in "profound difficulties".
After today's two-hour meeting with Mr Adams and Martin McGuinness, a spokesman for Number 10 said: "The prime minister told Sinn Féin that such activity was incompatible with the Good Friday Agreement and the peace process.
"He said that while he still wanted to find a way forward which included Sinn Féin, it was his duty as prime minister to underline in the starkest terms that that would not be possible if paramilitary and criminal activity continued to be carried out by the IRA.
"A complete and verifiable end to all such activity by the IRA would be essential if progress towards such an inclusive agreement were to be possible."
Mr Adams told reporters there had been plenty of "straight talking but there had been no row".
It is understood that there are no further plans at the moment for a meeting between Mr Blair and the Sinn Féin leadership, though the PM has stopped far short of some Unionist demands that Sinn Féin now be excluded from the suspended, devolved power-sharing body in Belfast.
Mr Adams was asked whether the prime minister told him that there would be no negotiations over a deal until the IRA ends criminal and paramilitary activities.
He declined to comment specifically but added: "I can tell you that this party is opposed to criminality of all kinds, that the allegation of republican involvement in criminality evokes an emotional response from almost all republicans."
He also refused to discuss whether he and Mr Blair had agreed a basis for any further meeting and when asked whether the bank raid had been discussed, he said that they had spent little time talking about it.
"He said he believed on the basis of the report he had that he believed that the IRA was involved and we stated our belief in the IRA denial."
On Wednesday, Rev Paisley called on Mr Blair to tell Sinn Féin all paramilitary and criminal activities must cease. "Substantial time will be needed for the people of Northern Ireland to be convinced that paramilitary and criminal activity has completely ended," he said.
"It is the people of Northern Ireland, not government agencies, that will have to be satisfied that all IRA activity is over. There can be no question of the talks process that was brought to an end by Sinn Féin/IRA being renewed.
"We are now in a completely different situation and I have told both governments that they have an obligation to serve an ultimatum on Sinn Féin/IRA to cease immediately from their terrorist and criminal activity and to prove so by their deeds."

The discussions about "social mobility" (Letters, 11 April) seem to accept that it is a "good thing", provided there is some regulation of nepotism. This is like a discussion of the decor in the first-class cabin while the toilets overflow in economy class. There seem to be no political leaders or media opinion-formers speaking for those who have not achieved lift-off into these elevated zones. Somebody is needed to clean the lavatory, empty the wheelie bins, deliver the post, answer the phone etc. There is no one, it seems, shouting that we should value these people, who are most of us, much more highly. Instead they are implicitly branded as failures and expected to carry the austerity can for the misconduct of those who have escaped upwards.

• Niall Ferguson believes that the left think he is an "imperialist scumbag" (G2, 11 April). I'd suggest that most, while seeing him as rightwing, understand that he remains a leading historian whose work demands respect. The problem is that Ferguson has begun to act up to the caricature he has created for himself, and instead of his politics amplifying the historical points he makes, too often it looks like it is driving his historical agenda.

• "The first electrically lit house in Britain was Cragside", you claim, mistakenly (Let there be light bulbs, Review, 2 April). The first house illuminated by Joseph Swan was his own home at Underhill in Kells Lane, Gateshead. Lord Armstrong's country house at Cragside in Northumberland came second, although it was the first to be powered by hydroelectricity.

UTEP Downs Northern Arizona, 1-0, In Season Opener
Aug. 22, 2010
Final Stats | Photo Gallery By Michael Reese
EL PASO, TEXAS- Sophomore Brittany Kindzierski scored off a cross from Katie Dorman at 19:07 of the first half and junior goalkeeper Chandra Morden made seven saves to help lead the UTEP soccer team to a 1-0 victory against Northern Arizona in its season opener at University Field Sunday afternoon.
The Miners (1-0-0) dictated the tempo for most of the match, and outshot the two-time defending Big Sky champions and 2008 & 2009 NCAA Tournament participant Lumberjacks (0-2-0) by a final count of 18-11.
UTEP is now 12-3 in campaign lidlifters, and it has outscored the opposition by a count of 46-15 in those games. The Miners have won their past five and are 9-1 in the situation under head coach Kevin Cross.
"It was good to beat a team like Northern Arizona, which has a lot of success in the Big Sky Conference," Cross said. "We got a good effort from our offense in the first half, then in the second half our defense was very good."
The Lumberjacks earned the first true chance of the game with a corner kick four minutes in. The Miners' stop troops, as would be the case throughout the tilt, were up to the task with freshman Azia Nicholson heading the service out of harms' way.
UTEP then mounted a counter attack, with solid passing along the wing leading to a good rush. Caught out of position, NAU was forced to foul to set up a direct kick from just outside the area. Senior midfielder Anoop Josan ripped a blast that ricocheted off an NAU defender and over the end line for a Miner corner kick.
Josan played a good ball into the box where Dorman timed her leap perfectly. Her header, however, sailed wide right.
NAU vied for the contest's first strike with a shot by Sam Monahan but Morden preserved her clean sheet with a diving effort to tip it wide in the 12th minute. UTEP's defense wiped away the threat on the ensuing corner kick.
Inspired by the play at the defensive end of its pitch, the homestanding-side dialed up its intensity. Senior defender Melissa Desilets showed good touch to initiate a brilliant run up the left win by Dorman. The junior sucked the defense in, and at the last second deftly crossed the ball to a streaking Kindzierski.
The sophomore one-timed the shot past helpless NAU netminder Lauren Weaver into the lower right corner of the net to put UTEP up, 1-0, midway through the stanza. Not to be overlooked on the play was a dummy run by Skye Schultz, who drew some attention from the Lumberjack stop troops to help free up Kindzierski.
UTEP continued to pressure as the half wore in search of a second goal but it was not to be despite some good looks. Both Jessie Pettit and Schultz unleashed powerful headers only to have them be blocked away before reaching Weaver.
Morden was called upon twice in the waning minutes of the period. She punched away the shot by Lauren Zallis (34th minute) and then handled the try by Chelsea Bednarz (39th).
Facing the 1-0 deficit at the break, the Lumberjacks came out with a much more aggressive approach at the onset of the second half. The approach generated four corner kicks within the first five minutes of the period but the Orange and Blue cleared away each of the forays.
NAU's best chance of the contest came in the 61st minute. A cross from the right wing landed on the foot of the Lumberjacks' Brandy Carr, who was in a one-on-one situation with only Morden to beat. UTEP's netminder cut the angle down beautifully and gobbled up the shot with perfect technique on a closeout slide.
Morden punched away the service on an NAU corner kick in the 68th minute. She then calmly collected a well-struck ball by Brenna Boies 26 seconds later.
UTEP regrouped nicely, and started to control play in the center of the pitch. The result was dominating possession down the stretch.
The Miners were afforded a great chance to tack on an insurance tally in the 69th minute. A cross found the foot of Dorman midway into the goal box. She redirected the shot on net but it screamed wide.
Four minutes later it was sophomore MF Tess Hall on knocking on the door. She blistered a ball which at first glance seemed destined for upper 90's country. Unfortunately, though, it whistled inches high.
The close calls proved to be a moot point, however, with the Miners closing out the contest in style. NAU was held to only one shot over the final 20 minutes- a try from Kristi Andreassen in the 79th minute- which was turned away by Morden.
UTEP will return to action when it plays host to the 13th-annual Miners' Classic from Aug. 27-29. Fresno State, Texas State and Utah Valley University will travel to El Paso to join the Miners in comprising the field for event. The tournament will start with a match between Utah Valley and Texas State at 3 p.m. before the Orange and Blue battle Fresno State at 7 p.m. on Friday.

The group's first project was the production of the outstanding village map in 1992. There followed publications about the wartime bombing of the village, a town trail, a book of walks and the comprehensive book 'Aveton Gifford a Heritage' in 2002. A small group of members has achieved much in the last 20 years.
The newest publication of 'The Bombing of Aveton Gifford' was brought out in 2012, and a farming memoir in 2014. Future projects include the continuation of the recording of the memories of our older parishioners, research into the effects of the First World War on the parish to coincide with its centenary years, research into the history of our farms, some possible further publications, and the recording of ancient sites and monuments.
We plan future meetings which will be of interest to many local people - museum and record office visits, speakers with local interest and meetings with special themes.
Further details can be seen on our FORTHCOMING EVENTS page
We are planning to bring out another book soon - a cookery book, which will feature recipes old and new, all contributed by parishioners, past and present. We hope to attract contributions from all ages, and for all occasions, and include some traditional recipes from the area. If you think you may have something suitable that you'd like to share, please contact us! (Delia Elliott will be compiling recipes, so please do speak to her, or use the "contact" feature on this website.)
After reading about the bombing in the village in David Balkwill's memoir, Lorna Lockley has kindly contributed her memories of the day her house was destroyed, and her life in the village afterwards. You can read it on our WARTIME MEMORIES page.
96 men from this parish served during the war, and 16 of them lost their lives as a direct consequence of the conflict; the majority of them have been identified with the help of relatives and families. For those family historians who are researching their relatives who fought in WW1 we are in the process of adding new pages of information on this website about the men on our War Memorial and on our Roll of Honour plaque in St Andrew's.
We have the very sad news to add to this page that Jocelyn died suddenly in May after a short illness. She had been a member of the Project Group since its earliest years, and was a mainstay of so many of the group's activities and achievements. Her enthusiasm and energy for anything she undertook was a great influence, and more than that, she was a great friend to all of us. She will be very sadly missed, and we would like to extend our condolences to all her family.
It is with great sadness that we have to report David's death in March 2015. He had been a great friend and a huge influence on the lives of many of us, particularly within the farming community, and he will be much missed. For us within the Project Group he had been a joy to work with when producing his memoir, and both he and his family were so gratified by the popular reception it acheived when it was published. It really is a fitting tribute to him and his life in our changing times.
David signing his new book

Feb 20 2014
As you might have seen last year the Redskins DID NOT play well at all. This year what the Redskins need is a playoff berth to just send hope throughout the organization and hopefully continue it.
Since, RGII got crushed last year in the pocket, we will need some hard hitting O-Line. We have a good receiver: Pierre Garcon, but we need more of these types. We used to have London Fletcher (my favorite player), but since he retired we will need a couple of good linebackers. We have horrible safetyso we should invest in a couple more to make our lowly ranked defense higher (hopefully).
These are what we will need to hopefully get a playoff berth. I will like to see Johnny Manziel in the combine, we'll see if is just another great college football player, but a not so good NFL player.

Prepare for the winter holidays with Williams-Sonoma Holiday Entertaining by Georgeanne Brennan, featuring recipes like Antipasto Platter (Three Variations); Leek Soup with Pancetta and Bread Crumbs; and Baked Ham with Spiced Cider Glaze.
A platter of Mediterranean-style savory bites partners well with predinner drinks at holiday gatherings. It is an easy option for cocktail parties, open houses, and lunch buffets, too, because most of the items are store-bought.
Start with a visit to a good deli or specialty-foods store to find ready-made items like olives; specialty nuts, such as Marcona almonds; artisanal cheeses, such as pecorino, Manchego, mozzarella, and fresh goat cheese; spreads, such as tapenade; and cured meats, including prosciutto, salami, mortadella, and coppa. Serve four to six items, and plan on 1 to 2 ounces (30 to 60 g) of each per guest. You can supplement these offerings with raw or roasted vegetables with a Mediterranean-style dipping sauce.
Choose an attractive tray, platter, or cutting board. Or, create a dramatic presentation using a long, narrow platter, a tiered charcuterie "tower," or several matching small plates, with a single antipasto on each. Arrange the food to create an unfussy, natural look, piling items casually and rolling or loosely folding sliced meats. Decorate with grape leaves, fresh herbs such as sage, rosemary, or thyme. Place small plates, decorative cocktail picks or salad forks, and cocktail napkins next to the antipasto assortment.
Serve a basket of thinly sliced baguette rounds, slices of coarse country bread, cubes of focaccia, or crackers. You can also set out bread sticks or cheese straws (page 94 of the book) in tall glasses. Sparkling wines such as Prosecco, cava, Champagne, and California sparkling wine are a perfect match for the salty, oily flavors of antipasti, as are whites such as Vernaccia, Soave, and Falanghina and light reds, including Lambrusco and Pinot Noir. Ice-cold beer and Italian aperitifs, such as Campari, are also good choices.
Serve with bread sticks, herbed crackers; Prosecco, Campari and soda
Serve with focaccia, baguette rounds; Sparkling wine, French Chardonnay
Serve with olive bread, grape focaccia; Albarino, cava, rose, sherry

Hadiza Dockeray
Hadiza Dockeray
HADIZA DOCKERAY is a vocalist and songwriter from New York City. Raised in St. Albans, Queens by Nigerian and Jamaican-American parents, she moved to Paris after college. While studying and working there as a backing vocalist and dancer, she discovered a passion for music that led her down a new path. With her 5-piece band, Hadiza performed in cafés and clubs, interpreting jazz standards and covers of r&b classics. Soon after returning to New York, she began writing her own music.
Hadiza quickly gained notice for her mellifluous voice, thought-provoking lyrics and high-energy performance style. Her band has played local venues including The Cutting Room, Metropolitan Room, The Bitter End, CB's 313 Gallery, and West Bank Café. She brought her sound to a wider audience by way of the music video "Somebody Better". The video was directed by Craig Cobb and produced for Hadiza by M8 Films, LLC. The song was produced by Ryan Waters, guitarist for Sade.
In keeping with her musical roots, Hadiza also enjoys the chance to perform jazz and popular standards, as well as traditional blues. She has recorded with Grammy Award-winning pianist and composer Arturo O'Farrill, Director of The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, and performed with acclaimed pianist and composer John DiMartino at The Harvard Club of New York City. Hadiza was invited to be among the first featured artists of the Singers Space showcase at Bar Thalia, Symphony Space, presented by D'Ambrose Boyd and David Pearl. That experience led to a continued collaboration with Mr. Pearl, a pianist , composer and arranger who became Music Director for Hadiza's 2012 concert at Triad NYC. He brought together three exceptional players – Steve Bargonetti on guitar, Leon Lee Dorsey on bass and Rodney Harrison on drums – to lay the groundwork for the recording of Hadiza's EP Chapter 4.

My service on the Drug Policy Task Force of the Commission on Criminal & Juvenile Justice showed me a wealth of research into the smartest ways to deal with drug offenders. Prison is generally not cost effective for this population. Recidivism rates for drug offenders are not good -- because we shouldn't be sending them to prison in the first place. Prison sentences for a drug offender makes it more likely that he or she will return to prison after their first stay. Community-based treatment programs have been proven to be effective at saving money in state budgets and saving lives. It costs less to treat an addiction and turn a life around than it does for society to keep paying the costs of drug abuse. Corrections budgets are the beginning, the middle and the end, as untreated drug addiction leads to more crime, but there are many other costs, such as lost productivity, health care and social services.
Reforming the Controlled Substances Act to use evidenced-based alternatives to our current criminal sentencing code is something we must take strides to achieve. The treatment infrastructure will keep pace with our changing priorities. The CCJJ has approved most of our recommendations from the Drug Policy Task Force and they next will be debated in the 2010 legislative session. I'm sponsoring the bill to carry forward the recommendations.

GSPs style is opposite of what self defense training should be....
1 Attachment(s)
sorry but everything gsp does is oposite what people should street train in self defense training
a street fight lasts seconds and you need to be able to finish the oponent fast in any way needed gsp just lays on him and plays the point game never going for a finish
you want to avoid grappling in all street fights as there can be more than one oponent and they could have a knife or weapon also it takes too long to finish a fight with grappling compared to a good strike
gsp and many other ufc cagefighters fight this way and it is a tragedy if people grow up watching it they forget what matters in a real fight
Pretty sure GSP wasn't in a street fight and condit didn't have a knife.
Street fights are for morons.
Also, if you want to put an image in every post I suggest you pay like the rest of us and get a gold membership.
Couple of things....
This is not street fighting.
GSP was also trying to beat another man up.
Condit did not have a knife or a gun.
Why do you look like Tom off Jersey Shore? Don't you know JWoww dumped him? It's all about Roger and Jenni now.
see my vid on streetfighting
if someone has a knife, you turn and run. you have zero chance
I agree that GSP doesn't fight like a streetfighter, well done OP. I didn't realize they were supposed to be training the the Ultimate Street Fighting Championship though, hmm

Oh my god, you're that dude with the lame self-defense clips on youtube. Thought you were banned lol. I guess trolling pays off since I know that for some odd reason. Anyways, carry on.
OP, your posts literally take away my will. You have broken me through the internet. Now THAT is effective self defense! You have so sucked my will to fight, that I barely had the energy to neg rep you.
By the way, of you and GSP ever meet in a street fight, I'll be sure to bet on you.

Despite all that computer firepower, bond markets are archaic compared to those for currency and stocks. There is still no real central and transparent electronic bond market in Canada for retail customers. Until the 1990s, bonds were traded almost exclusively by phone-investors who wanted to buy or sell might call three or four dealers to get price quotes. In 2001, Canada's major investment dealers created CanDeal, an electronic market for GofC bonds and other securities, and the TMX Group now has a stake. But Byrd estimates that about half of all bond trading is still done by phone.
Because all bids, offers and executed trades aren't fed into a central market immediately, trading bonds can be more difficult than trading stocks or currencies. A typical GofC bond order for an institution would be, say, $30 million. On Bank of Canada rate announcement days, big dealers often lay in inventories of billions of dollars worth of GofCs, as RBC did on the morning of Oct. 19.
But if prices and yields are moving fast, it can be hard to get a handle on what's going on. Oct. 19 begins pretty much as predicted. Investors start buying GofC bonds right after the rate announcement at 9 a.m., and yields dip across the yield curve (see "What's a yield curve?" page 53). But shortly after 10, yields start going back up. The curve is also behaving oddly: The initial dip in five-year GofCs was bigger than that for two-years and three-years. Normally, you'd expect the shorter the duration, the bigger the drop.
Traders are fuming. Some (as shocking as this may sound) are using four-letter words. "Won't someone buy my bonds?" moans Byrd, his face flushing. Much of the wailing is just kidding around-a way for the traders to blow off steam. But some of it's genuine.
What next? Will the market resume pushing yields lower? Should RBC do some buying to try to get some momentum going? Traders yell across the aisle to RBC's institutional sales reps for bonds, who are on their phones to clients. Byrd blurts out things like, "If the fives are down to 38, we'll take 10 there."
By 11 a.m., yields across the GofC curve have resumed drifting down, and they finish modestly lower at the close of the trading day at 5:25 p.m. In a market that's often opaque from minute to minute, the RBC traders' instincts have turned out to be correct. Most of the market action is over by lunchtime. "Volumes were light at about $5.5 billion," says Byrd. "We were actually busier the day before and traded around $7 billion."
A Bank of Canada interest rate announcement isn't as big a deal in the corporate bond market as it is in the Government of Canada bond market. Before the 9 a.m. announcement on Oct. 19, Steve Thom, RBC's managing director in charge of Canadian corporate bond trading, says that 10% of what will happen to Canadian corporate issues that day will be a response to the rate decision, "and 90% will depend on other stuff"-U.S. stock and bond markets, central bank moves in other major countries, and so on.
The overriding issue in corporate markets is credit quality. Bond investors must constantly assess the creditworthiness of companies. True, they also monitor the spread between corporate bond yields and the typically lower yields on government bonds of the same durations. Over the past year or so, investor demand for even junk bonds (ones graded very low by bond rating agencies) has pushed yields on them down to within a few percentage points of yields on government bonds.
On the morning of Oct. 19, Bank of America and other large U.S. banks post stronger-than-expected third-quarter earnings. Early that morning, however, there is a surprise quarter-point interest-rate increase by the Bank of China. Stocks open sharply lower in New York because of fears that China may trigger a global economic downturn. Yet, Thom says, U.S. corporate bonds "are doing okay." When stocks slide, investors often look to quality short-term corporate bonds instead.
The Bank of Canada's decision to not increase rates also helps Canadian companies. Any firm thinking of issuing bonds won't have to offer investors very high yields. On the morning of Oct. 19, there are rumours in the market that a major Canadian bank is about to issue bonds. The rumours by themselves cool demand for GofC bonds, because investors in search of a slightly higher yield may buy bank bonds instead. As things turn out, CIBC issues $1.5 billion worth of bonds the following day, which also sees issues from Brookfield Asset Management ($350 million) and First Capital Realty ($50 million). Thanks for that, Mr. Carney.Report Typo/Error

/// Alec Ross, Digital Diplomat, on 21st Century Statecraft
Hubert Burda Media/DLD Alec Ross (left) in conversation with Nick Bilton at DLD Germany. For as stodgy and out-of-touch as the cogs of U.S. government seem at times, it's not all paper-pushers working behind the scenes. Some are more in touch with what's going on in the digital world than you'd think. Case-in-point: Alec Ross, a senior advisor for innovation to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (and soon Senator John Kerry, who will succeed Clinton), who spoke at the DLD Conference in Munich, Germany on Sunday evening. Indeed, being tech savvy is built into Ross' job description; along with the 155 other digitally-focused employees at the state department, he's charged with finding technological solutions to the world problems, ranging from ending world hunger to dealing with violations of human rights. To the latter point, for instance, his office has helped smuggle fiber-optic cable into countries where the Internet has been restricted. As for the coolest things he's worked on (at least, of the declassified projects he's allowed to talk about), Ross spoke a little about two in particular, both of which I'd love to see in the field. First, say you were a protestor in Tunisia back when the Arab Spring was happening.

June is the time of year the United Nations observes World Oceans Day and the U.S. celebrates National Oceans Month, so we've asked Skipper Ken Jennings to navigate us through four maritime myths that refuse to die. It turns out that none of them really hold water.
Ocean Myth #2: The Ocean Is Blue Because It Reflects the Sky.
I remember noticing as a child that a glass of water from the kitchen tap was colorless. So why were lakes and oceans blue? My parents told me that the blue color was due to the surface of the water reflecting the sky, and I believed them. Sure enough, on cloudy days (which were plentiful in Seattle, where I grew up) the lakes looked more gray than blue.
But my parents lied to me, friends—and maybe yours did too. Look at a photo of the Arctic or Antarctica: even on the grayest of days, glacial ice can have the kind of brilliant cyan blue you rarely see outside of an NBA jersey from the 1990s. The fact is that water is not colorless.
Due to the harmonic vibration of the oxygen-hydrogen bonds in water molecules, it happens to absorb long wavelengths of light (red, orange, yellow) much better than it does shorter wavelengths, like blue light. This tendency toward a light greenish-blue color is weak enough that you don't see it in a glass or a bathtub full of water, but it becomes noticeable as light passes through thicker samples, as in a lake or ocean.
Of course, water's inherent color doesn't account for all of the blueness of the ocean. Reflection from a blue sky can deepen the color of water, especially from certain viewing angles. So can mineral impurities dissolved in the water. In fact, if not for impurities, bodies of water wouldn't be blue at all — light hardly penetrates the ocean at all below about 650 feet, so all deep bodies of water would be completely colorless if not for light being scattered around by particulate matter near the surface. "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean… black?" Not only does it not sound picturesque, it doesn't rhyme at all.
Quick Quiz: On what Italian island in the Gulf of Naples would you find the famously colorful sea cavern called the Blue Grotto?
Ken Jennings is the author of Because I Said So!, Brainiac, Ken Jennings's Trivia Almanac, and Maphead. He's also the proud owner of an underwhelming Bag o' Crap. Follow him at ken-jennings.com or on Twitter as @KenJennings.
I call BS.
Sure, the ocean gets more blue at greater depths as any diver has noticed and the reason is wavelength selective absorption as given by the Debunker.
However, this does not explain why reflection from the surface is wavelength selective. His parents did not lie and they were probably right about alot of other things too.
Isn't this the same reason the sky is blue?
This, I don't think, is the entire story. Both water and nitrogen are slightly blue (likewise, most glass is slightly green), but not enough to get the observed effects. The fuller story is basic optics, in that redder wavelengths mean photons with lower energies, making it easier for them to scatter.
See also: Why do objects in space look redder when they're on the horizon and passing through more atmosphere (and thus scattered low-energy photons).
When I was a kid, though, I was given a book that allegedly explained complex scientific things. One of them was "why is the sky blue," and their answer ran that it's not really blue, but rather absorbs most of the non-blue wavelengths and reflects the blue down to us.
To this day, other than an elaborate prank, I can't understand how nobody prior to publication looked at that and pointed out that only reflecting one color is pretty much the entire definition of "being" that color...
Either way, though, for the ocean to reflect the sky, it'd have to...well, actually reflect the sky. Like, the sky now, rather than a Platonic ideal sky.

|Jason McGee will be leading the second GWC Lab Chat this week on Wednesday, 4/20. The very timely topic is related to recent announcements from IBM regarding the IBM Workload Deployer (see previous posts). Entitled "Application-Centric Cloud Computing" the discussion will focus on the concept of deploying and managing your application workloads in a shared, self-managed environment rather than manually creating and managing the application middleware topologies. It places the focus on the application rather than the infrastructure. This concept promises to deliver greater simplicity, elasticity, and density among other things. It can position your business to react more quickly and efficiently to the increasing demands of your customers and free you from the managing all of the details.
|Many of you may have already heard Jason speak last week at IMPACT 2011 in the cloud mini main tent or perhaps at any number of other sessions that Jason was involved in. Jason is the key architect behind IBM's WebSphere cloud activities. Obviously, Jason understands the cloud space very well and has a clear view of the evolution into Application-Centric Cloud Computing. This GWC Lab Chat will provide the opportunity to get your questions answered and share your perspective on this technology.
|Jason will provide a brief introduction to the concepts and ideas and then lead an open discussion. Put it on your calendar and plan to attend - and please plan to bring your questions and comments to help foster a rich discussion. We want to hear from you.
|If you haven't registered yet it is not too late - learn more and register here. It is easy to register and there is no cost. This is a very timely event and a great way to dig a little more deeply into concepts you first heard at IMPACT or perhaps hear them for the first time. Don't miss it!

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — The ideal body image, worshipped by the corporate world and presented to the American public by the media, defines an unrealistic picture of beauty and success, according to artist Larry Kirkwood. Kirkwood hopes to debunk that image with his exhibit and lecture titled "The Body Image Project: Beauty as a Relative Concept," which will be held at Wittenberg University Monday-Wednesday, Feb. 13-15.
According to Kirkwood, The Body Image Project, which he began in 1993, uses art to show what human beings really look like. The exhibit includes finished casts taken directly from a person's body and strives to present a more honest and healthy view of the human body.
The goal is to change the way we look at ourselves and the way we perceive others," Kirkwood said. "It affirms the fact that the way we look physically is 'okay.' If change needs to occur, it is from the inside out and not the reverse."
A collection of the casts will be on exhibit for the public from 11:30 a.m.-12:15 p.m. and 5-6 p.m. Monday-Tuesday, Feb. 13-14, and 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, in the Alumni Room of the Benham-Pence Student Center. Kirkwood will visit several classes in art, sociology and communication. In addition, the student organization, Concerned Black Students, invites the public to a lecture at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, in Bayley Auditorium, Barbara Deer Kuss Science Center.
On Monday, Assistant Professor of Art Scott Dooley and students in his three-dimensional design class will watch as Kirkwood makes a cast of Jansen Wehrley, class of 2007 from Medina, Ohio. After the demonstration, art students will join Kirkwood at the exhibit for a gallery talk and discussion about the technical aspects of the procedure.
On Valentine's Day, dubbed by Wittenberg students as "Love Your Body Day," the artist will visit sociology and communication classes. Assistant Professor of Sociology Beckett Broh will prepare her Race and Ethnicity class by examining media images and the messages they send regarding beauty and success.
"Most people, particularly women, don't meet the unrealistic standards of beauty and success represented in the media," Broh said, adding that racial and ethnic groups are under-represented.
In the department of communication, Adjunct Instructor Kristina Medford will prepare her Interpersonal Influence class by discussing the gallery images in the context of the class.
"We have focused quite a bit on the role of ethics in the influence process thus far in our class," Medford said. "There are many examples of how groups or individuals use unethical means in their influence attempts, but Kirkwood's work offers us one example of a refreshing, ethical alternative."
Sponsored by the Womyn's Center, Kirkwood's visit was made possible thanks to the efforts of Riley Stoermer, class of 2008 from Springfield, Ohio, who proposed the visit to Director of Multicultural Student Programs and the Womyn's Center Forest Wortham after she spoke with Kirkwood. Stoermer said the center was looking for a theme for its part in Black History Month programming, and she felt the project addressed many issues that would engage a variety of interests on campus.
"Larry related his theme to so many topics including body image, racism, abuse, sexism, alcoholism and self-esteem, and offered unique visual evidence of his concepts," Stoermer said.
"We look forward to having him share his experiences with us."

Lord Mandelson confirmed today that he had been interested in the newly created post of EU foreign minister.
But the business secretary – seen in effect as Gordon Brown's deputy prime minister – insisted he had not sought the role because he was "committed" to the government.
Both Mandelson and David Miliband, the British foreign secretary, were touted as candidates for the new post of high representative of the EU for foreign affairs, which eventually went to Labour peer Lady Ashton.
Mandelson had been rumoured to have gone behind Brown's back to talk to senior EU figures to try to secure the role.
His departure would have been a significant blow for Brown and would have been taken as a sign that senior Labour figures had given up on the next election.
Asked whether Brown was unhappy that he had made a run for the job and indicated he wanted to leave government before the general election, the business secretary retorted that "it didn't quite happen like that".
"In other circumstances I would, of course, have liked to have done that job," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
"It combines my interests with Europe and foreign affairs. But the point is that I am a member of this government and I am committed to its success and its re-election, and that is why I am remaining a member of it."
The former EU trade commissioner denied he was "blocked" by Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, saying the process "did not get to that happy stage".
Pressed on whether this meant he was vetoed early on, Mandelson said the discussion had gone "as far as it will go".

Steam's Early Access program has provided developers with a unique opportunity to have their game on display to consumers while it's still being completed. Valve launched the program last year in March as a way for developers to gain funding for their game while they're still working out the kinks. Gamers that buy into these alpha and beta builds to help spread the word about the game, as well as provide developers with direct feedback about what the buyers want more or less of. Previews are no longer restricted to privileged critics.
"We like to think of games and game development as services that grow and evolve with the involvement of customers and this community. There have been a number of prominent titles that have embraced this model of development recently and found a lot of value in the process," Valve wrote on its Early Access FAQ page.
Tim Schafer's Kickstarter-funded game Broken Age ran out of money halfway through development, so as a way to bring in more cash to back the rest of the game he put part one up for sale on Steam Early Access. This revenue has helped push development forward with promises of part 2 coming eventually.
While Broken Age's part one is fully playable without any bugs, that's not the case for all Early Access games. When you buy into an Early Access title, you're buying in to the development process, seeing the game evolve from all its stages — good and bad. So, what the game looks like today may not be the case tomorrow, which means downloading updates constantly and dealing with down-times. The experience has its ups and downs, but the bragging rights of playing a game before it officially releases — saying you backed it and previewed it first — is something you maybe interested in.
Here are a few Steam Early Access games that may be worth sinking your money into.

Hey guys,
I was invited with my jazz band to a big festival in Nanjing, China in October. I would be really happy if there is somebody from the region around here. I heard great things about Nanjing and would definitely need some advices. Especially about where to find some cool music stores, maybe traditional music instruments as well.
Its a long shot but…hopefully…

In a Twist over Trailers
By Ron Grover
Studios love to battle for the best scripts, the hottest directors, and the most bankable stars. It makes sense that they would fight over those big things -- they can be all-important factors in a movie's success. Now, in addition to fighting over those things great, the studios are also fighting over those things small. Lately, that means trailers -- yes, those little two-and-a-half minute previews that flash on theater screens before you get to watch the movie you forked over $8.75 to see.
Odder still is the fight over a half-minute commercial that precedes those trailers in many U.S. theaters. In that little pitch, a company called THX insists that your movie-going experience is being enhanced by its sound system -- usually ending with the line "the audience is listening."
These arcane battles burst into the open in early November, when THX, which is owned by superstar director George Lucas, announced it was canceling plans to use the animated character Shrek for its upcoming series of ads. Shrek is the lovable ogre who "stars" in Dreamworks' animated megahit of the same name. THX, which also is in the business of creating digital prints for films, digitally mastered Shrek.
Lucas and Steven Spielberg, a Dreamworks' partner, are buddies, so it seemed perfectly natural that Dreamworks would ask Lucas to use Shrek in an ad for Lucas' THX sound system. And for THX, featuring Shrek was a chance to instill a little star power in a spot that most movie patrons ignore while they turn off their cell phones.
This looked like the kind of cozy, you-scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours deal that goes on constantly in Hollywood. The THX Shrek spot was set to appear on Nov. 2, the same date the Shrek DVD and video debuted in retail stores. Nice timing, yes?
Nov. 2, however, also happened to be the day that Monsters, Inc., the highly anticipated computer-generated film from Pixar and Walt Disney, hit theaters around the country. The timing didn't exactly thrill Disney, especially since there's bad blood between Dreamworks and Disney/Pixar. (In 1998, Dreamworks released its computer-generated film Antz right before A Bug's Life from Pixar/Disney, inciting charges from the Pixar/Disney camp that former Disney studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg took the idea with him when he left to start Dreamworks. Katzenberg has adamantly denied this, but the tension remains.)
It turns out that Shrek wasn't part of the THX plug on Nov. 2 -- and probably won't be, period. Lucasfilms executives say they decided, upon reflection, that it wasn't right to link their sound system to any one movie.
Perhaps. Or maybe Lucas executives were worried about Disney and Pixar refusing to throw any work to THX? That's the buzz in Hollywood, though Disney and Pixar, of course, deny any part in getting the THX plug de-Shreked. That's a little harder to swallow. You see, Lucas is also buddies with Steve Jobs, to whom he sold Pixar after deciding he didn't want to make animated films. The thinking is that Lucas felt bad for annoying his pal Jobs over the Shrek bit and wanted to make amends, big-time.
The plot grew even more interesting with the news that Lucas would put the trailer for his next, eagerly awaited Star Wars flick on the front of Disney and Pixar's Monsters, Inc., which appeared in movie theaters on Nov. 2. That's a real coup for Disney and Pixar, and a real beneficence on Lucas' part. It's expected that Star Wars fans will rush to theaters just to see the trailer for Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones.
That's what mobs of the faithful -- mostly men -- did when the trailer for Episode I was attached to the dreadful Brad Pitt movie Meet Joe Black. Many of them left after Jar Jar and company faded from the screen. They never met Joe Black. But hey, they bought tickets, and that's what box office is all about -- not the number of people who actually watch the movie.
A chance for a sneak peak at Episode II will probably draw a lot of Star Wars fans -- folks who otherwise might not have bought tickets to Monsters, Inc. Who knows, this time the guys might even stick around and get their money's worth. But even if they don't, they'll help swell the numbers for Monsters, Inc., which did $63.5 million in ticket sales on its opening weekend -- Disney's best, and the sixth-best ever for a movie. Send in the Clones, indeed.
As if enough people aren't already teed off, you can now include the folks at Fox, the studio that distributes the Star Wars movies. Fox can't be thrilled about the Star Wars trailer preceding someone else's film. Why, some are saying, couldn't it have been in front of, say, Fox's upcoming film Shallow Hal? Lucas decided against it, that's why, and Lucas calls the shots for just about everything that has to do with his Star Wars films, including their marketing.
Still, it's amazing -- and amusing -- to hear all the caterwauling about things as fleeting as a two-minute trailer and a 30-second plug for a theater sound system. These are, after all, nothing more than commercials. But this is Hollywood, where folks live and die by the battles they wage, and victories come in all sizes -- even if the ground gained is but a tiny sliver of film.

Williams hope new car is faster on slower tracks
By Alan Baldwin
LONDON (Reuters) - Former world champions Williams hope their new FW38 Formula One car, presented online on Friday, will address last year's problems and be quicker on the slower tracks and in wet conditions.
"The FW37 was a pretty effective car and so we concentrated on understanding the areas where we could improve it without losing the attributes which made it effective," said engineering head Pat Symonds in an interview conducted by the team.
"It is no secret that the low speed performance of the FW37 didn't match its high speed performance so a lot of time was spent looking into why this was and subsequently making changes, which we hope will improve the situation."
Williams finished third overall last year in the constructors' championship for the second season in a row but again failed to win a race.
The British-based team, whose last world championship title was with Canadian Jacques Villeneuve in 1997, have not won a grand prix since Venezuelan Pastor Maldonado triumphed in Spain in 2012.
With Brazilian veteran Felipe Massa and Finland's Valtteri Bottas, Williams took four podium finishes in 2015.
Team founder and principal Frank Williams said retaining third place would be a challenge but the aim was to return to the ranks of race winners in a series dominated by engine partners Mercedes for the past two years.
"We will have to wait until Melbourne to find out exactly where we stand in the pecking order but I'm confident that our hard work over the winter will stand us in good stead," said Williams. Continued...

UPDATE 3-In split from SocGen, TCW's fortunes seen set to rise
By Greg Roumeliotis and Jessica Toonkel and Jennifer Ablan
(Corrects milestone in the first paragraph to say Nov 2016 property sales growth was lowest since November 2015 not December)
BEIJING Dec 13 China's property sales growth slowed sharply to 7.9 percent in November from a year ago, its lowest since November 2015, and and well short of 26.4 percent increase in October.
Meanwhile, real estate investment rose 6.5 percent over January to November from the same period a year earlier, and property sales area increased 24.3 percent, official data showed on Tuesday.
Investment growth, reported by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), also slowed slightly from an increase of 6.6 percent in January to October, as house prices and sales have shown signs of cooling in recent months.
That is in stark contrast to a robust recovery in home prices and sales that supported the economy in the first three quarters of the year, thanks to a flurry of government stimulus measures.
Nonetheless, in recent months policymakers have begun to worry about an overheating property market and the risk of a sudden and sharp price fall damaging the economy.
Regulators have told banks to strengthen risk management around property loans. More restrictions on home purchases have been implemented to curb soaring prices, helping to slow down property investment.
Real estate investment, which directly affects about 40 other business sectors in China, is considered to be a crucial driver for the economy, which last year saw its slowest growth in a quarter of a century.
National Statistics Bureau spokesperson Mao Shengyong said in November that property investment would accelerate or remain at current levels for the rest of the year, due to a low-base effect.
The outlook for China's residential property market in 2017 is stable, Moody's Investors Service said in a report issued late November. (Reporting by Beijing Monitoring Desk; Editing by Eric Meijer)

By Mette Fraende
COPENHAGEN, Jan 31 The world's biggest insulin producer Novo Nordisk raised sales and profit forecasts for 2013 on hopes its new Tresiba drug will soon win approval in the United States and add further momentum to surging profits.
The Danish firm said on Thursday it expected 2013 sales growth in local currencies of between 8 percent and 11 percent and operating profit growth of around 10 percent. Its previous guidance had been for single-digit growth in each.
It also posted 2012 net profit up 25 percent to 21.4 billion Danish crowns ($3.9 billion), the highest in the company's history.
On Tresiba, chief executive Lars Rebien Sorensen said: "I have the anticipation that this will be a multi-billion dollar blockbuster drug."
Tresiba has already been approved in Europe and Japan but there had been concern about its future in the U.S. market after regulators there said last November that its key component degludec had a higher heart safety risk than other diabetes treatments.
However an advisory panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration subsequently voted to recommend approval of degludec, despite the signals of possible cardiovascular risk.
"For Tresiba, we have a good portion of sales included in our guidance, but the largest part of that is from the United States," Sorensen said.
"Whether we will be able to launch in the second quarter or it is deferred to the third quarter has some implications on the top line of the company," Sorensen said.
Any setback for Tresiba, would be good news for rival Sanofi , whose Lantus product currently dominates the long-acting insulin market and had 2011 sales of around $5 billion.
It could also be positive for Eli Lilly, which is developing a rival drug that is a few years behind.
Novo Nordisk said fourth-quarter earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) rose a quarter to 7.57 billion Danish crowns ($1.38 billion), compared with a forecast for 7.11 billion in a Reuters poll.
"The fourth quarter was another blow-out result and growth was extremely good," Alm Brand analyst Michael Jorgensen said.
The result was helped by a 29 percent rise in sales of diabetes treatment Victoza to 2.71 billion crowns, against a forecast for 2.85 billion, and a 20 percent increase in the sale of modern, or synthetic, insulins, in line with expectations.
Novo Nordisk shares were down 0.1 percent at 0910 GMT, tracking a 0.2 percent fall in Copenhagen's benchmark index .
"It is a strong result from Novo Nordisk," said Sydbank analyst Soren Hansen. "Expectation to the report were sky high and I think they met those expectations."
Sales grew 16 percent to 20.96 billion crowns, slightly above analysts' average 20.86 billion crowns estimate.
The group said it would initiate a new share buy-back programme of up to 14 billion crowns and raised the dividend 29 percent to 18 crowns.
Earlier this week, rival Eli Lilly and Co reported a fall in fourth-quarter profit as competition from generic drugs, particularly for its once top-selling schizophrenia drug Zyprexa, drove revenue lower.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
February 4, 2013
In his Immigration address in Las Vegas last week, President Obama urged Congress to move forward quickly on the issue, saying "the Time Is Now" to pass Immigration Reform and "get it done". Encouraged that key members of Congress from both parties have announced a deal on a Comprehensive Immigration Reform, the President went on to say that if Congress does not move forward quickly to pass Immigration Reform, he intends to send up his own Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill to Congress and "insist that they vote on it right away."
During his speech, Obama laid out the "key markers" which he believes must be included in the final immigration reform law, including a pathway to a Green Card and Citizenship for millions of immigrants who are currently in the U.S. illegally "We all agree that these men and women should have to earn their way to citizenship," he said. "It won't be a quick process, but it will be a fair process."
In a Fact Sheet released by the White House, the President further outlines his key proposals, including:
Pathway to Earned Citizenship -Create a provisional legal status, then a path to a Green Card and ultimately U.S. Citizenship for millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
Earned Citizenship for DREAMers- Allow DREAMers (Children brought to the U.S. before age 16 by their parents) to earn Citizenship by going to college or serving in the Military for at least two years.
Keep Families Together- Double the number of Family Visas to reduce waiting times and confer the same rights on same-sex families to sponsor "spouses" which currently exists for U.S. citizens and U.S. Residents. This will enable gays and lesbians the ability to obtain a Green Card for a "same-sex partner", which under current law, only applies to heterosexual couples.
"Staple" green cards to advanced STEM diplomas- Conferring Green Cards on foreign graduate students educated in a U.S. college in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) who have job offers.
Create a "startup visa" for job-creating entrepreneurs – Provide more opportunities for foreign entrepreneurs to start and grow their businesses in the U.S., as well as to obtain Green Cards.

Rodrigo Moreno
Her days consist of commuting and cleaning all over Buenos Aires. While Reimon vacuums, her wealthy clients read to each other, fascinated, from Marx's Capital. The latest film from the maker of The Minder is sober and socially committed. Nominated for The Big Screen Award.
Reimon is a young, lonely and taciturn woman who lives and works in Buenos Aires. Argentine director Rodrigo Moreno (El custodio) follows her everyday routine in long, often stationary shots. Reimon is sitting in a bar, walking down the street, eating, having a nap and cleaning for people who are a lot better off than she is. As she dusts and toils, the yuppies and their friends read endless passages out loud from Das Kapital - Kritik der politischen Ökonomie, Karl Marx's treatise on work, money, working conditions, slavery, sleeping, eating and relaxing. While they philosophise, they barely notice Reimon; theory is more interesting and certainly less confrontational than practice.
Committed, extremely minimalist drama by Moreno, who forms part of the Nuevo Cine Argentino, the new Argentine filmmakers who made a name for themselves in the mid-1990s with urgent films produced on a limited budget and shot on location with non-professional actors. Reimon was supported by the Hubert Bals Fund.

Today, we have a new Blog Category today: Idiot Clergywoman of The Day. Although, I suspect this may turn out to be a very, very lonely section for quite some time to come. Umm… that's probably because the other 99.999 percent of Pastors, Priests, Nuns, Deacons, Rabbis, Imams, etc. are - you know – followers of a certain credo, shall we say? Like the one that is peace-loving, forgiving, tolerant, and above all – generous. I like to believe that they are not cheap, vindictive, PMS'ing hypocirites like our sister above.
It has now been widely reported that Pastor Bell recently visited a local Applebees and proceeded to completely stiffed the waitress. In keeping with all the teachings of a certain, unnamed biblical Goliath (who is allegedly the son of God) and the heart of her chosen profession, she (allegedly) went even further and scribbled the note below on the credit card voucher instead.
St. Louis Applebees waitress Chelsea Welch was the apparent victim. It's not entirely clear at this point if she was in fact the waitress who served the good Pastor or if she was a fellow server. Either way, Ms. Welch, understandably quite upset, did what any modern F.O.H., technologically-adept, server would do. She snapped a pic of said voucher and posted it to Reddit. Now look… this is quite common within the Server/Bartender blogosphere. Unfortunately for Ms. Welch, she neglected to "anonymize" the time, date, exact name, credit card authorization, merchant ID, best photoshopped out when roasting idiot customers on the InterTubes.
For the viewing public, it should be noted that the good Pastor had a large party that had apparently rung up in excess of $200 of food and beverages. Most bars/restaurants will apply a mandatory service charge (auto-grat) to parties of six or more. Some nightclubs apply this practice to every single transaction. At the end of their meal, this particular group of folks asked for separate checks – something which diners really need to ask for before placing orders, not after. Doing so afterwards places great hardship on the server (and potentially manager). I suspect they asked towards the end of their meal in order to try and skirt the gratuity convention. Who knows?
While I feel badly on behalf of the server for (1) getting screwed (2) getting severely insutled and (3) getting fired, there are several lessons to be learned and some positives to come out of this situation.
Applebees Server:
Negative: You no longer have a job
Positive: You no longer have a job, at Applebees. Be thankful, very thankful. You're now free to peruse Craigslist for a job befitting a human being (i.e., just about any other job)
Negative: You've gotten very bad national publicity. Future service industry employers will be very reluctant to offer you a position as many of them, if not most, will have read the same charming descriptions of how you blatantly violated Corporate Communications and Media Contact policies. Applebees (like almost every other established chain) surely had you sign those documents when you were hired. The $6 tip you lost, and minuscule income tax liability you incurred was not worth your actions, in my humble opinion. You simply should have grumbled and moved on with your other covers.
Positive: You've gotten publicity – period. There's an old saying "there's no such thing as bad publicity." If I were in your position (which I never will be, because I'm more than a half-wit), I'd do my very best to attempt to parlay my 15 minutes of fame into another job of some sort. At the very least, you might be able to snake a couple of paid interviews or get yourself on a steamy (paid) episode of Jerry Springer or the like.
Pastor Alois:
Negative: You're going to burn in the fires of Hell.
Positive: You're going to burn in the fires of Hell. Well, maybe not. The traditional Christian concept of Eternal Damnation, as are many fear-tactics born of "faith," is bullshit. Hell, is here on Earth in many, many forms – including getting burned at the alter of public opinion. You're flock is likely to shun you or, better yet, demand your firing or resignation. Not because you're a dumb ass, but because this relatively minor aberration has exposed you as sham of a religions leader on an epic scale – one who has no business preaching to anyone about anything in an official capacity.
Negative: Many industry folks are likely to recognize you – for a little while anyway. I dunno… they may look at you sheepishly, hawk a lugie in your chicken wing sauce, or otherwise seek a tiny bit of retribution on behalf of all other servers who've likely suffered the misfortune of having you at their table. I'm guessing that this isn't the first time you've either stiffed a tipped worker completely, or short-changed them to some extent.
Positive: Like the shit-for-brains server at the core of recent events, you'll also likely be able to capitalize on the incident and clown yourself on the media circuit, pocketing a few bucks. Heck, you might even be able to cajole some random church or two into offering you a soon-to-be-needed pastorship or something. Me? I was thinking that a position within the truly elite, The Westboro Baptist Church, might suit you just fine.
Good luck to you both.
