A SILCHESTER brewery has created a special ale in honour of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party.
The dark ale – HowlinGale – was officially launched at an event at Wild Weather brewery.
Alan 'Howling Laud' Hope, the leader of the political party, was among the invited guests at the unveiling of the special brew.
The event at the brewery, off Chapel Lane, was hosted by brewery owner Mike Tempest and his wife Karen.
They and their guests later travelled to Reading, where they were served the special ale at three real ale pubs where it is available.
HowlinGale has been created as part of the Co-ALE-ition Ale range, which was launched in September last year to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the wacky political party.
HowlinGale is the sixth ale to be created and, since the launch of the range eight months ago, more than 8,000 pints of Co-ALE-ition ale have been consumed at 74 pubs across seven different counties.
One of the ales will soon be available at the Stranger's Bar in the House of Commons, and it is hoped that by the General Election in May 2015, there will be 10 special ales on offer, brewed by 10 different microbreweries.
CAMRA member Derrill Carr, who has been working on the range of ales with the breweries and the party from the start, said the Silchester event was a great success.
He said: "HowlinGale was served in excellent condition at all three of the pubs, and there was a party atmosphere as everybody embraced the first-ever Loony Party pub crawl."
He added that each of the ales had a very distinctive character, saying: "They are each every different in terms of beer style, colour and strength, and they have helped to showcase the wonderful choices available to real ale drinkers in this part of the country."

Making a Change.
Making a Change.
I was a person who only thought about herself.
I remember the day my dad died.
I heard my parents arguing.
I saw my dad lying dead on the couch.
I worried my mom was going next.
I thought that I was going to be put in a foster home.
But I wanted to change.
I am an intelligent person who will succeed.
I think I will be successful at whatever I do.
I need to try, not give up, in order to fulfill my goal.
I try to help myself be more open.
I feel believable.
I forgive the people that cause me pain.
Now I can change.
I will change.
I choose to live life to the fullness.
I dream about my future.
I hope I'm headed in the right direction.
I predict my future will be great.
I know I can do it.
I Will Change.

Gnip; shipping & handling for data. Since our inception a couple of years ago, this is one of the ways we've described ourselves. What many folks in the social data space (publishers and consumers alike) surprisingly don't understand however is that such a thing is necessary. Several times we've come up against folks who indicate that either a) "our (random publisher X) data's already freely available through an API" or b) "I (random consumer Y) have free access to their data through their API." While both statements are often true, they're shortsighted.
If you're a "web engineer" versed in HTTP and XHR with time on your hands, then accessing data from a social media publisher (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Digg…. etc) may be relatively straightforward. However, while API integration might be "easy" for you, keep in mind that you're in the minority. Thousands of companies, either not financially able to afford a "web engineer" or simply technically focused elsewhere (if at all), need help accessing the data they need to make business decisions. Furthermore, while you may do your own integrations, how robust is your error reporting, monitoring, and management of your overall strategy? Odds are that you have not given those areas the attention they require. Did your stream of data stop because of a bug in your code, or because the service you were integrated with went down? Could you more efficiently receive the same data from a publisher, while relieving load from your (and the publisher's) system? Do you have live charts that depict how data is moving through the system (not just the publisher's side of the house)? This is where Gnip Data Collection as a Service steps in.
As the social media/data space has evolved over the past couple of years, the necessity of a managed/solution-as-a-service has become clear. As expected, the number of data consumers continues to explode, while the number of consumers with technical capability to reliably integrate with the publishers, as a ratio to total, is shrinking.
Finally some good technical/formatting standards are catching on (PubSubHubbub, WebHooks, HTTP-long-polling/streaming/Comet (thanks Twitter), ActivityStreams), which is giving everyone a vocabulary and common conceptual understanding to use when discussing how/when real-time data is produced/consumed.
In 2010 we're going to see the beginnings of maturation in the otherwise Wild-West of social data. As things evolve I hope innovation doesn't suffer (mass availability of data has done wonderful things), but I do look forward to giving other, less inclined, players in the marketplace access to the data they need. As a highly focused example of this kind of maturation happening before our eyes, checkout SimpleGeo. Can I do geo stuff as an engineer, yes. Do I want to collect the thousand sources of light to build what I want to build around/with geo; no. I prefer a one-stop-shop.

The M-41 MK 2 Plasma Pulse Rifle is an energy weapon designed and used by the ISA. It possesses both an ion
"stun" mode (which can still be lethal) and plasma "kill" mode. It also has and underslung pump-action concussion grenade launcher. Despite being an energy-based weapon, it has a standard STANAG-looking magazine in a bullpup configuration.
The MK 2 is an obvious reference to the M-41 pulse rifle from the movie Aliens. It shares a similar color scheme and design. Both have an electronic ammo counter, carrying handle with builtin sight, and andunderslung pump-action grenade launcher. However the MK 2 does have several key differences, most notably a bullpup design and plasma ammunition.
- In "Space Race: Part I" and "Space Race: Part II", the M-41 MK 2 is by the ISIS team and the Horizon's crew along with Aliens inspired body armor and "space robots".

The mighty sea has always been unforgiving, and this was sadly brought home recently, when five young men from the Woods Harbour and Cape Island area of Shelburne County did not return from a fishing trip.
The Miss Ally, a lobster boat-type, was fishing for halibut far from shore and got caught in a February hurricane-force windstorm. They were on their way home when the tragic news reached shore of the boat capsizing in the turbulent seas.
The search that followed consisted of a CC-130 Hercules Aircraft, a Royal Canadian Air Force CH-149 Cormorant helicopter and a CP-140 Aurora aircraft. The Canadian Coast Guard ships Earl Grey and Sir William Alexander, plus planes and merchant vessels, were also taking part in the search operation.
The loss of these young men, skipper Katlin Nickerson, Joel Hopkins, Steven Cole Nickerson, Billy Jack Hatfield and Tyson Townsend, left families and communities devastated.
There's an old saying that ships are safe in a harbour, but that's not what ships are for. As a small child, I remember my parents and grandparents talking about the sinking of the fishing vessel L.G.P. (named for Laura, Grace and Peter). The L.G.P. was owned by our neighbour, Lester d'Entremont, a main player in organizing D'Entremont Fisheries Ltd. Fortunately, when the L.G.P. sank, there were no injuries or loss of life.
It was on May 29, 1947, a calm and foggy day, that the scallop fishing vessel was run down by the 350-foot long freighter, Rockwood Park, bound for St. John, N.B. with a load of unrefined sugar. The captain and crew were rescued by the giant freighter. Lester and d'Entremont Fisheries Ltd. never returned to the scallop fishery.
Just a few short years later, in 1950, tragedy struck again. This time it was in Woods Harbour, the same community that the Miss Ally was from. The lobster boat Sir Echo was equipped for swordfishing, like so many others from our area. This type of fishing on our outer coast was considered quite profitable. That is, until an unexpected screecher with gale-force winds, hit the fishing ground in September, forcing the fishing fleet to head for homeport.
Some boats limped into port days late. But one was missing, the Sir Echo, with Captain Sheldon Goreham, his two young sons Aubrey and Crowell, and crew Robert Symonds and Earl Nickerson. About a week later, the battered, wooden hull of the Sir Echo was found floating bottom up in St. Mary's Bay. The bodies of the captain and one son were still inside.
Even today, the old salts, my age and older, still talk about the Breeze of the Sir Echo. These unfortunate incidents are never forgotten.
In 1956, the Edward L., with a West Pubnico captain and crew, sank on Browns Bank in calm weather, after taking in water. Fortunately, there was no loss of life or injuries. They were soon rescued by the fishing boat Whiteway, and shortly afterwards, the 12-year-old Edward L. slipped under the waves, never to be seen again.
There are many sea disasters. One that comes to mind is of an August night in 1967, when the herring seiner Silver King was struck by a tugboat returning to its home port of St. John, N.B. The six-man crew of Wedgeport fishermen tragically lost their lives; one visiting passenger on the boat was saved.
Ordeals at sea are far too numerous to be recounted in a short feature like this. In April 1974, the Colville Bay left Woods Harbour, with Captain Victor Brennan and a crew of six men, for a fishing trip to German Banks. They did not return home as expected and were soon listed as missing. A search was organized, both on the sea and in the air. Debris was found and it appeared as if a fire or explosion had sealed the fate of the Colville Bay and its crew. One more blow to the sadden community of Woods Harbour.
Time goes on and the vicious sea still takes its toll. In 1993, the scallop dragger Cape Aspy, out of Lunenburg, iced up and sank on its way to the fishing ground. Some of the crew had time to get into their survival suits and survived the ordeal; sadly, some did not. The Cape Aspy was a lot bigger than the halibut fishing boat from Woods Harbour, yet it went down to its icy grave.
Talking with old and seasoned sea captains, I came to the conclusion that the boat capable of winning a battle against a ferocious and unforgiving sea has yet to be built. And, sometimes, huge ships go down even in calm waters…if you doubt this, just ask the captain of the Titanic.

A team of 500 Iranian weavers has created what is reportedly the world's largest handmade carpet, a 22-ton masterwork valued at 5.3 million dollars, a newspaper said Sunday.
The weavers took three years to fashion the gigantic work, which measures more than 5,000 square meters (53,800 sq. ft) -- the equivalent of 25 tennis courts -- and is comprised of more than 1.7 billion knots, the Iran Daily said.
The carpet was sent Saturday to Oman, where it is destined for the Azam mosque in the capital of Muscat, the paper said.
Mostafa Qannad-ha, managing director of Iran's state carpet industries, said it was woven in 42 separate pieces and would be fully assembled in Oman by Iranian weavers in the coming weeks -- TEHRAN (AFP)

Saniya Chong is the Westchester/Putnam player of the year. And at least one Section 1 coach, not Dan Ricci, saw it coming when she was still in elementary school. You can read about that here, along with capsules on the rest of the first team all-stars.
The Rockland player of the year is a familiar one. Christa Scognamiglio earned the same title last year. Both times she suffered painful eliminations to Peekskill in the playoffs. As I detail in my story, she's committed to going all the way in her last year. The Rockland first and second team is also here.

But what's becoming increasingly clear is that the 2011 season -- if there is one -- and beyond likely won't include cornerback Champ Bailey.
The future Hall of Famer won't come right out and say he'll eventually bolt, but his frustration is evident with Denver now going on five years without a playoff berth. He's frequently discussed having earned all the personal accolades the NFL can offer and that a Super Bowl ring is paramount. But with the Broncos again reeling, signs of an uptick don't appear immediate and the player's closing in on 33 years old next June.
Bailey had thought he was about to sign a contract extension in October before the negotiations suddenly stopped. Since then, he's discussed having "options" as Denver closes out 2010 with five games, beginning with a visit to Kansas City on Sunday.
Reading between the lines, only his loyalty to teammates at this point, it appears, will sway him to end his career with the Broncos.
"I just know where we could be," Bailey said after Sunday's loss to St. Louis, using words like 'disappointed,' 'frustrated' and 'very upset' to describe the last several seasons. "I just know where we could be, and Mr. B (team owner Pat Bowlen) does everything he can to put us in position to do that. But we just haven't gotten it done.
"When I got here, we made the playoffs the first two years and it was supposed to be a common thing. But it's been downhill ever since."
Bailey has played under a slew of defensive coordinators. There have been six overall since the 2000 season.
He's also watched as teammates have come and gone at breakneck pace.
Only 15 players remain since Mike Shanahan was fired two years ago.
The nine-time Pro Bowl pick admitted a lack of stability helped usher him out of Washington in 2004, though, he added, "it's just the way the business is these days."
As for his looming free agency, he's trying to stay even keeled. Denver could put a franchise tag on Bailey but that likely would cause animosity in the locker room as well as for the player.
"I'm pretty level-headed about it. I don't really want to say I'm happy about it. But if I signed (an extension) it would have been great. I didn't so it's great, too," he said. "There are opportunities out there for me now. I'm not worried about it right now. I'm going to take care of myself, play these games and try to help my team win."
--The Broncos may want to close the book -- or lens cap -- on Spygate II, but there are loose ends that will need tying up.
The fired videographer who supposedly acted alone in taping a San Francisco walkthrough in London, Steve Scarnecchia, still has to meet with commissioner Roger Goodell. If stories don't jive, the case could be reopened.
But even before that, Fox Sports has ruffled feathers with a report that at a staff meeting last Friday, coach Josh McDaniels told his employees that the videotaping scandal he'd previously been tied to in cursory fashion in New England was "practiced, coached and worked on" to glean information illegally.
There are two issues: first, if that conversation occurred, it would be an admission that New England knowingly skirted rules; second, McDaniels reportedly told his current staff that if the information got out, "jobs were on the line."
McDaniels was asked to react to the report Monday, and he said, "I don't believe that to be the case," adding, too, that if any information from a staff meeting indeed had been leaked, it's "disappointing" but that he doesn't know if that's the case.
"I'm not going to go chasing ghosts about what that is. I have a lot of faith and trust in our staff," he said. One thing McDaniels already knows for sure is that questions about his job security have arrived, and they will be a distraction in the near term.
"It's not my decision and not something that's in my control. I'm just going to worry about what I can focus on and control the things I can control," he said.
Denver is 3-8 and on the cusp of being eliminated from the playoffs.
--Coach Josh McDaniels is getting the majority of heat, but receiver Brandon Lloyd believes accountability should be spread among the players.
"We get paid a lot of money to do this," he said. "And the pride, putting on this helmet and going out there and being fortunate enough to play this sport, there's a lot of play for."
It was suggested how Denver finishes the last five games will somehow reflect upon the character of the group.
Lloyd countered, "It's not a character issue. It comes down to performance. Everybody plays hard. It's a performance issue. It's doing what we're coached to do every time we step out on the field, period."
--Robert Ayers was able to return Sunday for the first time since Oct. 10, when he hurt his foot.
The 2009 first-round pick said he had no ill effects from the injury and that he felt good cardiovascular-wise.
Denver did shift in Jason Hunter with Ayers so not to put a full workload on Ayers right away.
"I'd say there's still some rust from the time off," McDaniels said. "But I thought he did make some plays, did a good job of setting the edge. He got caught on one reverse inside and let the ball around the corner.
"But he's getting back into the physical part of his game, which you really can't work on for six or more weeks when you're not out there practicing. He started making some strides as the game wore on in his bull rush techniques and did a decent job in the running game."
--ILB Joe Mays has drawn praise for his aggressive play while starting over the last three weeks. Mays has allowed Mario Haggan to play OLB for several weeks and worked his way into a rotation now that OLB Robert Ayers is back off a foot injury. He's one of eight NFZL players with at least nine defensive tackles and two special-teams stops in a game (11/22 vs. San Diego).
--WR Brandon Lloyd has 58 catches for 1,122 yards (19.3) with nine TDs, making him the first player since Jerry Rice in 1989 to toal at least 1,100 yards and nine receiving TDs while averaging 19.0 yards per catch through 11 games.
--RB Knowshon Moreno has accounted for all three TDs Denver has scored on opening drives the last three weeks, including two 4-yard rushes and a 17-yard reception from QB Kyle Orton in the first KC game on Nov. 14.
--P Britton Colquitt has a gross average of 50 yards or higher in five games this season but still struggles with consistency and generating hang time. His net the last three weeks prior to the Rams was 23.0, 33.2 and 31.6.
--QB Kyle Orton now leads the NFL with 3,370 passing yards, which ranks ninth all time after 11 games. The statistic is somewhat misleading given Denver's inability to create leads, which has put Orton in pass-only mode. An inconsistent run game has had the same sum effect.
--RB Lance Ball, Moreno's top backup, has 20 career carries - including runs of 17 and 23 yards, pushing his per-carry average to a healthy 6.2 per attempt. Ball, Knowshon Moreno and LenDale White figure to be part of the core at the position moving into 2011.
--WR Eddie Royal leads all NFL receivers with 326 yards after the catch. He has nine catches of 20-plus yards to date.
--DE Justin Bannan became the first Denver defensive lineman since 2006 to record two pass breakups in a game. Bannan has been among the most consistent players along the front seven this season.
--NT Jamal Williams had eight stops against the Rams, the most he's recorded in a game since vs. Indianapolis on Nov. 11, 2007 while playing for the Chargers.
--DE Kevin Vickerson, WR Jabar Gaffney, Mays and S David Bruton incurred minor injuries against St. Louis but McDaniels expected all of them to be ready for Sunday's game.

About MeHello and thank you for looking at my site. I am an experienced model who has been 'out of the scene' for a while, and am looking to get back into the fun and fascinating world of creating beautiful pictures. I have decided to rebuild my portfolio from scratch and am interested in meeting fellow artists to help; be it photographers, make-up artists, stylists or other models.
I am currently doing promo work in Portland, OR and have a fairly flexible schedule to shoot. Right now I am looking for TFP/CD until I compile a strong portfolio. I'm open to most shoots with the exception of nudes so please don't ask.
Unfortunately I cannot gain access to my MM profile from a few years ago, but the wonderful people of MM has assured me that there will be a way to access my older pictures and tear sheets for this profile. I am very excited to reconnect with all of the wonderful people I've worked with here on MM before in some of the major markets.
Can't wait to work with many of you!
I love meeting new people, traveling, photography, and spending time with friends and family.

Hi everyone,
This is my first beard attempt. I'm 22 years old, I haven't really shaved in about 2 months now, though I have trimmed it down twice. My problem is my hair grows in very light, and patchy in some areas, my mustache is incredibly light and and doesn't connect to the rest of my beard. I had planned on giving it 3 months as everyone suggests and then deciding if I had any potential. I don't want a big beard, just a full short beard. I now have two unexpected job interviews coming up this week, both for part time informal science education positions. My question is do I have beard potential or should I shave it off for the interviews and try again later?

Jason Aldean Fears 'Fly Over States' Will Become a Political Rally Song
Jason Aldean hopes to pay homage to those who live in the 'Fly Over States' with his new single from the 'My Kinda Party' album, but he fears that the tune is an obvious choice for use in a political campaign, which if used would chip away at the integrity. The last thing the Georgia-born singer wants is to be tied to a candidate — especially one who doesn't share his interests.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins rookie QB Robert Griffin III says the St. Louis Rams took "cheap" shots and were "unprofessional" during Sunday's game but says it's nothing he can't handle.
"They were definitely going after me,'' Griffin said. ''They made it a point, obviously, all week to hit me. Some of the shots were cheap of that nature. But it's nothing I can control. Teams are going to try to hit me because they don't think I can take a hit. I think I've proved over my career that I can.''
Coach Mike Shanahan and Griffin's teammates said in the moments and days after the game the Rams took late shots on the No. 2 pick of the 2012 draft and they believe the replacement officials' lack of control allowed it to continue.
Griffin says he wasn't particularly sore after being popped in the facemask and hit in the back of the head on Sunday. He wants the game to be cleaned up. But if it's not, he won't change a thing about how he approaches Sundays.
"You don't go into a game saying, â??Well, if they're going to let it go, we have to be the first ones to do it.' You don't do it that way," he says. "It's just something you can respond to. Hopefully, going against the Bengals (in Week 3), they'll be a lot more professional."
If not, maybe the Bengals will come up with some better trash talk.
''I remember one play,'' Griffin said. ''After the play, the guy said: 'We're going to hit you every play.'
''I said: 'Isn't this football?' It's nothing that I'm not used to. It was extremely weird the way they went about it, though.''
For all the liberties the Redskins say the Rams took with the rules, they rarely caught Griffin with the ball. He was sacked just once, though flushed out of the pocket several times. His 20 rushes through two games put him on pace to set the NFL record for quarterback carries in a season, though he expects that number to go down as the season wears on.

Yes, the snow is flying, the days are short and sunshine is at a premium, and the temperatures are less than hospitable. But in a few months things will change, and the new Irvington Teaching Rain Garden will begin to stir….
The rain garden is intended not only to beautify the southwest area of the Irvington Community Elementary School campus near the Pennsy Trail but to serve some very practical purposes, too. The garden collects storm water runoff from the school's roof and the Pennsy Trail. The garden's water-loving native plants – such as sedges, irises, sneezeweed, monkey flower, and marsh milkweed (a host plant for monarch butterflies) – will thrive this spring, summer, and early autumn as a result.
Once a swale, the rain garden now serves to reduce storm water flow while providing a natural filtering process so that fewer pollutants enter the municipal sewer system. What's more, the garden is a natural attraction for birds, butterflies, favorable insects, and other creatures. In fact, on Wednesday, September 1, 2010, the day of the garden installation, an eastern box turtle crawled over to "Toad Hall," a set of limestone slabs where downspout-collected rainwater is sent prior to entering the garden's plant-filled basins. Named "Irv" when discovered by landscape architect and project coordinator Ken Remenschneider and designated the official Irvington Teaching Rain Garden mascot, the curious turtle must have sensed what's about to come in the spring, for the rain garden in bloom will be a sight to behold.
The rain garden came to fruition after a considerable amount of planning involving a host of local organizations, including the Irvington Development Organization's Green Initiative, Remenschneider Associates Inc., Mundell & Associates Inc. (an earth and environmental services consulting company), Elements Engineering (a civil engineering design firm focusing on sustainability in land-use projects), the Irvington Garden Club (involvement in this project led by IGC President Ed Myers), and Indy Parks and Recreation.
The project was envisioned by the Irvington Development Organization's Green Initiative in early 2009, with Jeff Echols spearheading the effort. IDO received a $5,000 IMAGINE Big Grant from Great Indy Neighborhoods Inc. to fund the rain garden's construction.
Of note, the Irvington Green Initiative is focused on encouraging people to adopt a more sustainable lifestyle. As residents of Irvington, IGI members have a particular interest in mitigating the effects of storm water, as the area lies in the Pleasant Run Watershed. Therefore, the Irvington Teaching Rain Garden proved to be an ideal project for the Green Initiative to get engaged in.
Several ICES classes participated in the planting operation, including students from Mr. Stallard's 3rd grade class and Mrs. Daugherty and Ms. Stanfill's 4th grade classes. The kids took to the work right away and were remarkably careful. As a result, all 1,200 plants (comprised of 126 Indiana native species) made it safe and sound into the ground by the end of the school day. Adult volunteers from Mundell & Associates, Elements Engineering, the Irvington Garden Club, and several ICES parents provided "technical support" to the young gardeners, working right alongside them on a warm and unusually windy late summer day.
Donors for the rain garden project included:
A2 Design donated all labor and lent equipment for basin construction and tile work
Complete Tree Care donated all brush and tree removal
Greendell Mulch covered 50 percent of the cost of their garden soil mix
Spence Restoration Nursery sold plant plugs at cost
Irvington Garden Club donated 326 fully rooted native plants
Mundell & Associates will be donating educational signage
Williams Creek Consulting donated the prairie seed mix
Indianapolis Department of Public Works donated the salvaged limestone curbs for the water rakes
Mundell & Associates, with input from ICES faculty, developed a PowerPoint presentation to serve as an educational resource for ICES teachers and encourage class visits to the rain garden. The rain garden is, essentially, a living science lab and thereby offers a readily available dynamic learning environment. Mundell's Chris Jaros and Chieh-ling Lai presented the slide deck at the October 18th Parent Teacher Student Association meeting at ICES.
So when the snow melts, days get longer, sunshine is abundant, temperatures warm, and new plant life pushes through the earth, those signs of spring will be your signal to visit the Irvington Teaching Rain Garden. (Please be sure to first check in at the ICES front desk.) And come back often to observe the progress of the plant growth as spring turns to summer, as well as visit the Irvington Teaching Rain Garden page on Facebook for photo and video updates. Who knows, you might even be inspired to create your own rain garden in a suitable location in your yard or "plant a seed" for such a worthwhile project at your workplace.
To learn more about rain gardens from some local expert sources, go to the Marion County Soil and Water Conservation District and the City of Indianapolis Office of Sustainability websites.
ICES is very grateful to be the site of the Irvington Teaching Rain Garden. Our deepest thanks to all the organizations and volunteers that made this great green project happen!

Chevrolet Repair Questions? Ask a Chevy Mechanic for Answers ASAP
HelloCustomer I'm thinking it is likely more likely to be the fuel pump since both sides of the engine are producing lean but I think it is still worthwhile to check for a vacuum leak. Here are some things to do:
Check for vacuum leaks at the intake manifold, throttle body, and injector O-rings.
Basically if you notice your engine running a little bit of a high idle or rough idle it could be a vacuum leak and reply back to me if this is the problem. If you do not find anything in the vacuum area it likely needs a fuel pump, this requires removing the fuel tank underneath the car. This is quite a task without a hoist to lift the truck up and without a special jack to rest the tank on but if you would like the instructions on how to remove the tank, I can provide it to you.

David Letterman's Crisis Management Failure
David Letterman, second-rate comedian, second-rate jokes, second-rate apologist, a man with an obvious integrity deficit.
Letterman's silly, stupid, phony, non-apology for trashing the reputation of a 14-year-old girl is about what we would expect from this tired, old, non-talent. Except for the fact that he was sitting down, his four minutes of self-forgiving, excuse filled chitchat, followed by 30 seconds of his, less than serious, so-called apology, was really another old stand up routine, and the audience laughed and clapped. Some apology.
David, here is what an apology is:
The most constructive structure for apology I've seen is in The Five Languages of Apology, a book by Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas. Here, with some paraphrasing and modification based on my experiences, are the ingredients of the perfect apology.
- Regret (acknowledgment) - A verbal acknowledgement by the perpetrator that their wrongful behavior caused unnecessary pain, suffering, and hurt that identifies, specifically, what action or behavior is responsible for the pain.
- Accepting Responsibility (declaration) - An unconditional declarative statement of admission by the perpetrator recognizing their wrongful behavior and acknowledging that there is no excuse for the behavior.
- Restitution (penance) - An offer of help or assistance to victims, by the perpetrator; action beyond the words "I'm sorry"; and conduct that truly assumes the responsibility to make the situation right.
- Repentance (humility) - Language by the perpetrator acknowledging that this behavior needlessly caused pain and suffering for which he/she is genuinely sorry; language by the perpetrator recognizing that serious, unnecessary harm and emotional damage was caused.
- Direct Forgiveness Request - "I was wrong, I hurt you, and I ask you to forgive me."
The most difficult and challenging aspects of apologizing are the abject and humble admission of having done something hurtful, damaging, or wrong (which he admits he carefully planned) and to request forgiveness (which he carefully avoided). Skip even one step and you fail. Gloss over and trivialize any step and you reveal yourself for who you really are . . . someone unworthy of respect or attention.
Memo to CBS: Suspend him for a month, then probation for a year. If he does it again, kick his butt out the door and hire someone honorable, who is truly funny and the public can respect.
Labels: CBS, crisis communications, crisis guru, David Letterman, phony apology, public humiliation

Volume 17, Issue 3: Recipio
Ben Merkle
Moscow, Idaho is a unique place. We have two major universities crammed into a few miles of country bumpkin
farmland. It's an interesting contrast, which highlights some odd quirks that might have elsewhere gone unnoticed. Four-wheel drives
and cowboy hats blend in in most farm towns. But it is a little odd to sit in your organic chemistry class next to someone dressed
up as Clint Eastwood: boots, hat, duster and all.

She inquired my name, and I repeated the plain, homely Scotch-Irish cognomen that had been handed down to me by my forefathers.
Perhaps the cognomen had something to do with her subordinate position.
The tintorera owes its cognomen to a singular peculiarity, which reveals his presence providentially to afar off.
Nelson had worked for an Englishman at Elizabethville and acquired his cognomen.
Swamp Fox was the cognomen bestowed on Marion by the British.
More than ever now did she cling to that cognomen of which she was so proud.
Afterwards the enemy was taken by him, he retaining the cognomen of "Archibald Bell-the-cat."
I take him to be a Cornelius rather than an Ælius, because of the cognomen.
Qutb of Srwn may be the Qutb Khn of earlier mention without the cognomen.
By adopting the cognomen of Habrodiaitos, or high-liver, he brought upon himself the nickname of Rhabdodiaitos, or brush-man.

Facebook will reportedly launch a job postings feature later this summer that will directly compete with LinkedIn. Facebook's press representative said the company does not "comment on rumor and speculation." In a report compiled for The Wall Street Journal, Morningstar said at least 160 US-based mutual funds and exchange-traded funds bought shares of Facebook in May. Research In Motion ( RIMM) dropped 5.31% to $7.67 as investors await the annual shareholder meeting tomorrow. RIM's stock has slumped nearly 75% in the past year and dropped 16.45% after the company announced its first-quarter earnings at the end of June. Ubiquiti Networks ( UBNT) announced a major legal victory on Monday over Kozumi USA Corp and its owner Shao Wei Hsu, who Ubiquiti had charged with counterfeiting. Shares of Ubiquiti rose 4.20% to $14.14. Check Point ( CHKP) fell Monday after RBC Capital Markets analyst Robert Brez affirmed outperform with a $65 target price, citing difficult economic environment for software companies in general. Most software companies "have a lower pipeline today than going into the quarter, reflecting some pull-forward of deals, which could lead to a tough start to the September quarter," Breza wrote. "The deal environment for most software companies was characterized by smaller deal sizes and lower close rates," he added. Check Point's stock closed down 4.89% to $44.96 on 4.5 million shares, nearly double its average daily volume. --Written by Nathalie Pierrepont in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Deep-Dish Peach-Raspberry Pie
Slideshow: More Pies and Tarts
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: Makes one 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie
- Time(Other): plus cooling
- 3 3/4 pounds peaches, peeled and sliced (10 cups)
- 3 cups raspberries
- 3/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- Flaky Pie Dough
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 375° and position a rack in the lower third. In a bowl, toss the peaches and raspberries with the 3/4 cup of sugar, the cornstarch and the salt.
Roll out the larger piece of Flaky Pie Dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Line a 9 1/2-by-1 3/4-inch glass pie plate with the dough. Brush the overhang with water and spoon in the filling.
Roll out the smaller piece of dough to a 12-inch round and lay it over the filling; press the edges together. Trim the overhang to 1/2 inch, fold it under itself and crimp. Lightly brush the top with water and sprinkle with sugar. Cut a few slits for steam to escape.
Bake the pie until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 2 to 2 1/4 hours. Cover the edge of the pie with foil if it begins to darken. Let cool for 5 hours at room temperature before serving.

A source close to the troubled actress tells People magazine that the 24-year-old Lohan—who'll be facing a 30-day jail sentence when she returns to court in Beverly Hills on Friday after failing a drug test—is finally starting to realize that her life choices could have negative consequences for her.
According to the source,
"She's scared she might have to go back to jail. This is a wake-up call for her in a way. In the past, she dismissed everything, never took it seriously and now she's like 'Oh [expletive], something bad could happen.' "
Should Judge Elden Fox decide to send Lohan back to the slammer—and the Los Angeles Probation Department is certainly pushing for it—this would be her third trip behind bars. In November 2007, she spent 84 minutes in jail after pleading guilty to cocaine use in DUI, and spent an additional 14 days in the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, this summer, after failing to comply with the terms of her probation.
As to whether this most recent potential jail stint will actually cause LiLo to straighten up and fly right, her inner circle has mixed feelings, the source notes:
"Her true friends are actually happy this is happening. They never knew what it would take for Lindsay to listen. This might be it. But still, the attitude of some of her friends is, 'Oh no, not again.' It never ends with her."
Do you think Lohan will get it together this time? Or ever? Share your predictions in the comments section.

Stennis Space Center MS (SPX) Dec 03, 2012
A J-2X power pack assembly burns brightly during a hot fire test Nov. 27 at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi. Engineers pulled the assembly from the test stand in September to install additional instrumentation in the fuel turbopump.
The test, which ran for 278 seconds, verified the newly installed strain gauges designed to measure the turbine structural strain when the turbopump is spinning at high speeds that vary between 25,000 and 30,000 rotations-per-minute.
The J-2X engine - built by Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne of Canoga Park, Calif. - will power the upper stage of NASA's Space Launch System, managed at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
The new heavy-lift rocket system will launch the Orion spacecraft and enable humans to explore new destinations beyond low Earth orbit.

SANTA CLARA, Calif.- With three injured starters at the beginning of the game and four injured by the time it ended, the shorthanded CSUB Roadrunners couldn't muster any offense on the road falling to Santa Clara Wednesday night 66-36.
Leading scorer Stephon Carter (Sr., Bakersfield Calif., Garces HS) didn't start due to a knee injury while Adam Young (Sr., Las Vegas, Nev., Barton CC) also missed the start due to ankle injuries but both players came off the bench to contribute for the 'Runners despite playing well below 100 percent. Tyrone White (Sr., Portland, Ore., North Idaho CC) was also limited with an ankle injury while Javonte Maynor (R-So., Atlanta, Ga., Georgia State) went down on a hard foul play in the first half and didn't return.
"We have to give them some credit they played really good on the defensive end but we just have too many people injured," said CSUB head coach Rod Barnes. "We're just not a deep enough team to go on the road and play a team that can score the way they score, we limited the amount of points they scored but unfortunately for us we couldn't keep a good group out there to keep our rhythm."
CSUB was limited to a season-low 17% shooting in the first half while also managing a season-low 36 points in the loss. Brandon Barnes (R-Jr., Atlanta, Ga., Lipscomb), scored a team-high 11 points on 4-10 from the field while Carter scored 9 points to pull within 57 of CSUB's all-time scoring record. Carter played just 20 minutes in the game due to his injury.
"I really didn't want to play Stephon at all because of his injury but he kept telling me he wanted to go; Adam the same way, I appreciate those guys' effort," Barnes said. "Obviously we weren't at the pace and the speed we normally are; it caused us to make some moves throughout the game without some key people."
Marc Trasolini led they way for Santa Clara with 14 points while Raymond Cowells III scored 11.
The Roadrunners will have 10-days between games before they open a three-game homestand on Feb. 2nd vs. future Western Athletic Conference foe Utah Valley at the Icardo Center at 7 P.M.

Tomorrow's World -- that slightly eccentric, and now defunct, BBC TV program that used to beam the future of stuff into our living rooms on a Wednesday night -- has a lot to answer for. Not only did it present British ingenuity as charmingly bonkers -- lamp-post-painting machines that never saw the light to high-tech hovercraft that sucked -- it promised a future that was like all the good bits of Blake's Seven. Here were some of the things I was looking forward to. Non-iron shirts. Personal jetpacks. Three-course meals in pill form. Flying cars. Space hotels. The ability to download our memories into some übernet and merge into one, collective consciousness. Small things, really.
What has come to pass is that PCs and computers have, almost, sort of, delivered the futuristic goods. For anyone who remembers Blake's Seven, computers of the future were going to be see-through perspex boxes filled with Christmas-tree lights, and equipped with a sarcastic 'computer voice'. It would also tell jokes. They were rubbish.
Fast-forward to now, and Microsoft is teasing us with a science-fiction future that has made wrestling with my 'iron-free' clothes a more pleasant experience. Dubbed Origami, Microsoft has been offering clues as to how it plans to develop the next-generation of PCs. Origami is said to be an ultra-lightweight PC tablet that is powerful enough to run Windows XP and play the latest games. It connects to Wi-Fi, uses GPS, and generally does everything we've wanted to do on the go, without lugging a flappingly great big laptop around with us.
Time machine on the blink
Of course, as I'm writing this column before Microsoft actually reveals Origami in full, while you're reading it after Microsoft has spilled the beans, being totally accurate may be a little hit-and-miss. I've couched things in vague terms in the hope I can fudge it (of course, I was actually banking on time machines doing the rounds about now when I was a kid, so I'm a bit disappointed on that front, too).
Still, Origami sounds impressive. Pundits reckon this paperback-book-size device will cost

Zac Lam, long-time API Engineer for Premiere Pro and the Adobe Media Encoder, will take over developer support for users of the SDK; the AE team and I will assist as necessary. Most of you know Zac already; I'm sure he'll do a wonderful job.
[Hard not to be a little melancholy, after all these years…]
My first SDK release was for After Effects 3.1, in 1998; first Windows release, and the Mac SDK still had 68k and PowerPC build configs. [sigh]
The After Effects team has treated my like family, and I'm glad to continue to work with them as Production Premium Suite-Mates™.
I've truly enjoyed working with you AE plug-in developers; the community spirit you've created is an inspiration.
Keep up the great work!
So, I'm going to start adding posts on development methodology, books and articles I've found helpful (not necessarily all code-related, but within the bounds of an corporate blog), and developer-related goings-on at Adobe. That, and pictures of my kid; can't change everything at once.
No one's posted any feedback about my quick start development guide, which could mean any number of things. I choose to hope it means you're all well into your own development processes, and don't have time to waste posting about it on some fool's blog. So, how about it; what books, articles, or general ideas help you get your Geek on? I'll start: http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/

Oooh! Check out these lucky fans who got to meet Robert Pattinson - and even give him a kiss on the cheek!
But sadly it isn't the real thing... This is the latest waxwork to be unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London. Pretty good though isn't it?
The famous actor is dressed in his trademark skinny jeans, smart jacket and has messed-up hair and a moody look.
Some of his most dedicated fans were invited to be the first people to view the waxwork. These girls were obviously impressed...
The model took four months to make and cost £150,000. But a Madame Tussauds spokeswoman said she expected him to top the list of "most kissed celebrity waxworks" very quickly.
"R-Pattz is one of the hottest celebs on the planet," the spokeswoman said. "We are delighted to be able to give them the chance to cosy up with their idol."

Democratic leaders in the Massachusetts House say they're moving forward with legislation designed to raise the minimum wage and overhaul the state's unemployment insurance system.
Those efforts hit a snag last week after a dispute between House and Senate leaders on legislative process.
House Labor Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Conroy said Tuesday that the House is preparing a new bill that combines Democratic leadership proposals on the two issues with a separate bill designed to ensure that nannies and other domestic employees have the same legal protections and overtime rights as other workers.
Conroy said the combined bill could be debated by the House as soon as next week.
The Senate has already passed separate minimum wage and unemployment insurance bills and sent both to the House.
While lawmakers are moving forward on some issues...others are stalled. State Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz says her Education Committee will not be able to get a bill done that deals with the expansion of charter schools because they ran out of time.

Frisky Rant: I Really Don't Care To Know What Men Think About Makeup Because They're Not Being Truthful Anyway
Argan oil. Primer. BB Cream. Foundation. Maybe a little concealer. Pressed powder. Bronzer. Blush. Eyeshadow. Another color eye shadow. Eyeliner. Eyebrow pencil. Mascara. Lip gloss.
That's 14 products. I use 14 products to achieve my usual daily makeup look, which most would describe as "natural." Fourteen products go into making me look like I'm not wearing 14 products. Strangely enough, I probably use a few less products when I'm going for something bolder or less "natural." The point being, it actually takes as many if not more makeup to achieve the "natural" look.
I am pretty sure many men don't realize this, however. Take, for example, Tom Matlack, founder of the Good Men Project, who contributes his thoughts to The New York Times' "Room For Debate" discussion about women and makeup today.
The Times posed the question "Does makeup help or hinder a woman's self-esteem?" to seven people, including two makeup artists, two authors, and one straight man (Matlack). As Amanda Marcotte pointed out in her piece on Slate about the topic, "the 'debate' positions range from 'wear makeup if you like it' to 'wear makeup or don't, depending on what you prefer,'" so, really, there wasn't a debate at all. But Matlack's response stuck out because of his obvious effort to emphasize that while women should do whatever they want makeup wise, he loves his wife "most when she has nothing on."
Really, the level of love you feel for your wife changes depending on how much makeup she's wearing? Oof. I actually suspect Matlack thinks he's being wildly progressive for both preferring his wife au natural and claiming we shouldn't judge women for their makeup choices. And yet he's quick to point out that when his wife does wear makeup it's always "tasteful." While Matlack never tells us what he means by tasteful, he does say that he sees makeup as being in the same category as fake breasts, so I assume his wife's approach to application is like getting a pair of small C-cups as opposed to Double-Ds. Tasteful is subtle and, ahem, natural-appearing, but as the list of products that goes into my "tasteful" makeup routine indicates, it's not actually natural. In fact, might even be less natural than a more "tasteless" — i.e. obvious — beauty look. How people, including men like Matlack, judge makeup really has less to do with how much is used and more to do with what message that look is supposedly sending to the outside world. Tasteful! Natural! Taseless! Garish! French whore-y! You get the picture.
The reason why I'm so riled up about Matlack's "sticky-sweet, seemingly un-controversial, sneakily shallow, yet still totally tone deaf piece of buffoonery" (to quote a friend who also read the article) is because it echoes an all too common refrain I've heard from many men. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard some dude go on and on about how he prefers women to not wear makeup. Guess what dudes who say stuff like this, including you, Tom Matlack? What you think is "no makeup" actually is makeup. When men say they like the natural look, what they're really saying is "I'm glad you're conventionally pretty enough to look like you don't need to wear makeup even though you're totally wearing makeup right now." I mean, why did Matlack throw in that reference to his wife's hot body if not to make it abundantly clear that not only is she beautiful to him but also beautiful in a conventional way that everyone, particularly other men, can understand? While I'm sure Matlack thinks his wife is lovely first thing in the morning, before she's put on her makeup, I would be shocked if he sincerely prefers it over the perfectly polished, "tasteful" and natural-looking makeup she regularly wears when they're in public. I have yet to meet any man who actually preferred no makeup over the no makeup look.
The thing is, I don't actually care if I ever do. I actually believe women should do whatever the fuck they want to with makeup — wear it, don't wear it, regardless of what men think or think they think or pretend to think about it. So can we stop asking them now?
