Personal Vespa Failure
I often blog about stupid things that kill IT projects. This post describes how I almost killed my Vespa scooter today.

I often blog about stupid things that kill IT projects. This post describes how I almost killed my Vespa scooter today.
By now, most everyone has heard about Digg, the popular social networking news site. Digg users vote for news stories, hoping to elevate their favorites to front page status.
Greed, arrogance, inexperience, and stupidity are the essential quartet driving many IT project failures. Bring this set of factors together, and failure is practically inevitable.
Problems on many IT project failures can be traced back before the project even started. For example, we've all seen poorly-designed projects, that should never have seen the light of day.
IT Week ran a story saying that "IT managers should learn to prioritise in order to avoid failing projects." The piece adds:IT directors must learn to say no to unreasonable or unviable requests from business executives if they are ever to tackle IT project's chronically high failure rate.
In a post entitled "The Law of Unintended Consequences," Geva Perry references an article from InformationWeek describing project failures in the realm of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web services.Geva puts it really well:In a recent InformationWeek survey, 24% of respondents from large corporations said their SOA projects "fell short of expectations.
After a hectic month of traveling and consulting, it's nice to be back here blogging again. I sure do respect bloggers who can write lots of posts regardless of what else is going on their life.
Recently, I blogged about an excellent report, released by the UK National Audit Office, on the subject of IT project failures. That report examined 24 IT projects, to draw conclusions about the causes of both project success and failure.
Back in the 2001 time frame, the Office of Government Commerce (National Audit Office) in the UK established a program for avoiding large-scale IT failures. The program, called the Gateway Process, established a series of evaluation milestones, or gates, against which a project must be reviewed over its lifecycle.
I write this blog and see lots of weird stories, many of which I find hard to believe. Today's topic is a good example, and deals with manipulative behavior justified in the name of innovation.

Liverpool Fifa 15 Coins manager Brendan Rodgers admits his side have yet to reach the standard they set themselves last season but was relieved to open their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 2-1 victory. Mario Balotelli's first goal for the club eight minutes from time looked to have won the game only for Ludogorets substitute Dani Abalo to roll in a 90th-minute equaliser for the Bulgarians.
However, captain Steven Gerrard scored an even later penalty after Javier Manquillo was brought down by goalkeeper Milan Borjan to ensure Liverpool's return to Europe's elite club competition after a five-year absence did not fall flat.

Gwen Stefani Welcomes Third Child! It's a ...by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Gwen Stefani has welcomed her third child. It's another boy!
The No Doubt Singer, 44, and husband Gavin Rossdale, 48, have been married 11 years. They are already parents to sons Kingston, 7, and Zuma, 5.
She gave birth yesterday, February 28. Congratulations!
Details about the new one haven't been revealed, but the "Sweet Escape" singer revealed in an adorable Instagram photo that she was expecting another boy.
Wearing a blue shirt and crown, she captioned the pic: "I was ready to hand over the crown. But I guess I am still queen of the house. #itsaboy #surroundedbyboys."
Gwen Stefani revealed back in October 2012 that she had nearly given up hope on having a third child, and even hinted at a recent traumatic experience.
"I really, really wanted one about two years ago. And it didn't really work out," she explained. "So, I feel good with what we've got. Everything works out how it should."
"You can't plan anything, right? You can try."
In honor of the impending arrival, she celebrated with Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, Rachel Zoe, Chelsea Handler and Kate Beckinsale February 8.
That's one star-studded baby shower! For a look at some more celebs expecting new additions to their families in 2014, scroll through the gallery below!

VLOGGING – Campus Rape Exaggerated?
After a stupidly long hiatus (entirely the fault of our editor being AWOL, because of a new job), we're back with a new episode – and this time it's a topic from the headlines. Now that campus rape in the U.S. is finally getting the attention it deserves from media and federal investigators, the usual pro-rape lobbyists are stepping up their efforts to stop the oh-so-ghastly spectre of rape prevention, claiming that campus rape is way overblown by feminist propaganda…...read more
David Choe totally hates rapists, is only guilty of bad storytelling
[Strong, strong trigger warning for rape]
In the March 10 episode of his podcast, David Choe recounted in lurid and self-satisfied detail his activities of the night before, in which he raped his masseuse at a massage parlor. On Friday, shortly after the story came out on Gawker and xojane, he insisted on his blog that he was totally joking, that he hates rapists, that his art is controversial, and that all he's guilty of is bad storytelling.

Attorneys for Trent Mays and Ma'like Richmond, the two accused rapists of a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio, will be taking a bold new approach in their clients' defense. Okay, that was a lie — they'll be taking the classic, time-honored approach by asserting that the girl wasn't actually raped, because she didn't say no.

Bradley Cooper: Named Sexiest Man Alive By People!by Free Britney at . Comments
Bradley Cooper is 2011's Sexiest Man Alive, according to People.
Anyone out there complaining about that selection? Ladies? Hello?
Don't judge the actor by his (great) looks alone, however. A Georgetown grad, he cooks, rides a motorcycle and speaks fluent French. Best of all, he's quite modest.
"I think it's really cool that a guy who doesn't look like a model can have this [title]," says the 36-year-old star of The Hangover 2. "I think I'm a decent-looking guy."
"Sometimes I can look great, and other times I look horrifying.
Debatable, to say the least. Another reason to love the man?
Cooper, whose father Charles passed away in January, is especially close with his mother, Gloria. When he learned he'd been crowned Sexiest Man Alive, the "first thing I thought," Bradley says, "was, 'My mother is going to be so happy.'"
He's also available, describing his relationship status as "single 36-year-old male."
What are you waiting for, girls?
not even near...and im not looking for hungs or models...but still he is far from being the sexiest man on the planet...
he's yummy

Leggings lovers unite. I must admit, I was unsure about denim leggings until I tried on a pair. Let's just say I was very pleasantly surprised. Not only do they look like skinny jeans, they're much more comfortable. I like wearing my Charley 5.0 leggings with a top and blazer for a more polished look, and with flip-flops and a tee when I'm feeling like a surfita. You might be resistant, but don't knock it until you try it . . .

AlternativeSolutions: The Kansas-Nebraska Act was a controversial piece of legislation. It inflamed the passions of Southerners and Northerners alike. Read the specifics of the bill at http://dig.lib.niu.edu/message/about.html . (Once at the site, click on Second Party System. Then click on Political Events. Finally, click on The Kansas-Nebraska Act.) Rewrite the bill giving an alternative solution so both sides could live with the compromise. Post your bill rewrite to the discussion board.

Absolutely Charming! Peaceful Getaway!
My husband and I recently stayed in this charming house which has been recently updated. The house is immaculate, charming and tastefully decorated. Everything is very comfortable and well maintained. The amenities are well thought out down to the smallest detail. The location is ideal for a relaxing getaway with peaceful surroundings and a water view. While off the beaten path, it is close enough for a short drive to local attractions as well as many great restaurants. We had a wonderful time and look forward to a return visit sometime soon. Recommended for: Age 55+, Girls Getaway, Sightseeing, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Our annual tradition started here
My daughter and I have now been to this wonderful home two years in a row and hope to make it three this year. Barb and Sean are incredible "hosts" and the environment, in General is so relaxing. The master bedroom is so inviting and comfortable. The amenities are immense. We love the beach and it's so convenient. We brought our two dogs and were delighted to find out that our puppy can swim. I am going to contact Barbara and Sean as soon as I finish this to set up our next week there. You'll love this home.

Since taking over as head coach for the USMNT in July of 2011, Jurgen Klinsmann has made a point of scheduling tough opponents for international friendlies. He's scheduled Italy in Genoa, France in Paris, Mexico at Azteca, Belgium in Brussels and Cleveland, and Brazil and Germany in Washington DC.
When Jurgen Klinsmann was hired to be the new coach of the US Men's National Team in 2011, there was much excitement over the appointment of a successful innovator that would help propel America forward in the world of soccer. Transforming the United States into an elite soccer powerhouse would not be easy but it seemed more possible than ever before under Klinsmann's tutelage.
Whether it's promotion and relegation, or major USMNT players leaving Europe for the riches of MLS, Jurgen Klinsmann has taken numerous whacks at Don Garber's piñata recently. And Mr. Garber, desperate not to lose any PR or standing in the eyes of the growing American soccer populace, fought back.
In just a few days, U.S. soccer fans will witness the end of an era. This Friday, Landon Donovan will step onto the field as a national team player for the very last time, thus concluding one of, if not, the most illustrious career in American soccer history.
For the casual viewer, the friendly match against Ecuador will simply be the inevitable fruition of Donovan's retirement announcement back in August, and possibly a moment to reflect on his many record-breaking accomplishments.

St. Louis, Missouri is well-known as a baseball town. Despite the popularity of the NFL in the United States and the growing appeal of live hockey, neither the NFL's Rams nor the NHL's Blues have been able to match the overwhelming popularity of MLB's St. Louis Cardinals. With the Cardinals 11 World Series championships, 19 National League Pennants, and a history dating back to 1882, the baseball town reputation is well-deserved.
US Soccer has announced its 25-man squad for the upcoming friendlies against Colombia and the Republic of Ireland.
The squad is as follows:
GOALKEEPERS (4): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Bill Hamid (D.C. United), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (9): DaMarcus Beasley (Houston Dynamo), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City), John Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Timmy Chandler (Eintracht Frankfurt), Greg Garza (Club Tijuana), Fabian Johnson (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Jermaine Jones (New England Revolution), DeAndre Yedlin (Seattle Sounders FC)
MIDFIELDERS (6): Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Alejandro Bedoya (Nantes), Mix Diskerud (Rosenborg), Julian Green (Hamburg), Alfredo Morales (Ingolstadt), Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution)
FORWARDS (6): Jozy Altidore (Sunderland), Miguel Ibarra (Minnesota United FC), Jordan Morris (Stanford), Rubio Rubin (Utrecht), Bobby Wood (1860 Munich), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)
There are several surprise inclusions in the squad, most notably Jordan Morris from Stanford University, Rubio Rubin from Utrecht, Bobby Wood from 1860 Munich and Greg Garza (Club Tijuana).

Recipe: Guilt-free Coconut Shrimp
How to make a less-fattening coconut shrimp — with only four ingredients.
Coconut shrimp is sweet, crunchy and almost always deep-fried — hence its deliciousness. Next time you're tempted to order it, consider this: ONE coconut shrimp contains 126 calories and more than 7 grams of fat.
Mathematically speaking, that means more than 50 percent of the calories come from fat. And when was the last time you ate just one shrimp?
Here's the deal: ALL of the fat comes from the batter and frying process because shrimp is virtually fat-free by nature.
Since I realize people adore the dish, I developed a fabulous coconut shrimp recipe with only four ingredients (plus salt and pepper). You'll be amazed at the amount of flavor you get from just four ingredients. Tangy buttermilk tenderizes succulent shrimp while acting as the "glue" for the coconut crust. I also add whole-wheat Saltine crackers for that "fried," crispy exterior. As the little crustaceans bake in the oven, the coconut becomes golden brown and develops a subtle nuttiness, the perfect contrast for the buttermilk. The best part? You can enjoy eight of these gems for just 196 calories and 5 grams of fat.
Coconut Shrimp
Cooking spray
1 ¼ pounds raw extra-large shrimp, peeled and deveined (leave the tails on)
½ cup low-fat buttermilk
½ cup shredded sweetened coconut
⅓ cup crushed whole-wheat saltine crackers (7 crackers)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Place shrimp in a large bowl, add buttermilk and turn to coat.
In a shallow dish, combine coconut, crushed crackers, salt and pepper. Mix to combine.
Remove shrimp from buttermilk and shake off excess buttermilk. Transfer shrimp to coconut mixture and turn to coat both sides, pressing coconut mixture into shrimp if necessary to create a nice crust. Place shrimp on prepared pan and bake 10-12 minutes, until shrimp are opaque and cooked through and coconut coating is golden brown and crispy.
Makes 4 servings.

- "A no man's land between the Vinewood Hills and the Grand Senora Desert, you won't find much in the Great Chaparral other than scrubland and the occasional dead body."
- ―GTA V Manual
The Great Chaparral is a landscape and hilly area located in the north of the Los Santos County, San Andreas. It is bordered by the Grand Senora Desert and the Zancudo River to the north, the Vinewood Hills to the south, and the Tongva Hills to the west.
The Great Chaparral is a grassy, hilly area located between the city and a desert. There are a few small farms scattered throughout the region, but other than that, the Great Chaparral is mostly empty. The northern areas of the Great Chaparral are more arid and dry due to the close proximity to the Grand Senora Desert. The southern end of the Great Chaparral is much more grassy and green, with trees all throughout.

I am going to follow this recipe.
All Grain Recipe - Gumball Head Wheat ::: 1.052/1.012 (6 Gal)
Grain Bill (70% Efficiency assumed)
6 lbs. - Wheat Malt
5 lbs. - 2-Row Pale Malt
1 lb. - Caravienne Malt
Hop Schedule (27 IBU)
1/4 oz. - Amarillo - First Wort Hop
1/4 oz. - Amarillo - 60 min.
1/2 oz. - Amarillo - 15 min.
1.25 oz. - Amarillo - 5 min.
1 oz. - Amarillo - 1 min.
1.5 oz. - Amarillo - Dry Hop
White Labs California Ale Yeast (WLP001) - 1800 ml starter
Mash at 153° for 60 min.
Sparge as usual
Do I need to do a rest or no?
Cool and ferment at 68° to 70°
As far as I know, a protein rest for highly modified wheat malt isn't necessary. If you were to use unmalted wheat berries, that's a different story. I've brewed countless wheat beers using malted wheat and a single infusion mash with excellent results.
I also fly sparge, and never use rice hulls, again - with no problems. Some might tell you otherwise, so there's something else to consider.
Hope it turns out well,
There is absolutely no reason for you to do a rest with malted wheat. I've done an infusion mashed with over %50 wheat with no rice hulls and had great results. Love me a wheat beer.
Thanks guys! I will mash as normal. I batch sparge and I have never used rice husks before do I need them/ want to get some?

In 5 years, inmate escape bids fail 18 times
Jan 24, 2014
By The Associated Press
PORTLAND — Investigative documents and an audit show 18 Oregon inmates were caught in the past five years with escape plans elaborate enough to warrant discipline — and state auditors blame staff complacency in two notable cases that happened within a day of each other at an Eastern Oregon prison.
Ten escape attempts date to 2010, the Oregonian reported.
On a Sunday evening in June of that year, inmate Robert L. Emery left a dummy fashioned from clothing and towels on his bunk at the Snake River prison near Ontario, and sneaked into the laundry.
He broke windows, drilled out a door lock, broke into metal tool cages, bashed a hole in the laundry wall, lugged bags of tools, dug under one fence and climbed over another, whose razor wire shredded his arms.
No one noticed.
Emery gave up the escape attempt, though, exhausted, bleeding and huddling under a blanket in the prison yard until he was found.
A day earlier at the prison, Michael J. Norwood put headphones on a dummy fashioned of inmate clothing and placed it in a relaxed pose on his top bunk.
Within 15 minutes, an inmate tipped a corrections officer to the plot, and officers imposing a lockdown caught Norwood in the yard. Among items in his pockets: 35 rolls of dental floss, two razor blades, a piece of plastic rope, photos of his wife, and candy bars.
The State Police said searchers later found an improvised ladder in a garbage can in the yard. The ladder was manufactured from toilet paper tubes and dental floss.
A special team assessed the two escape attempts. Its report, heavily redacted for release to The Oregonian, found the prison "out of compliance with its own procedure and DOC security standards."
DOC is the Department of Corrections, which hadn't revealed the escape attempts. The Oregonian reported it was tipped by a corrections worker and filed records requests.
In Emery's case, two different officers apparently were fooled, and Emery's absence wasn't noted for an entire shift, the review team said.
It found problems in the prison laundry, where inmates didn't line up or show identification. "The inmates just called off their name and cell number, and the officer checked off their information without looking up," the team said.
Saying other inmates could make use of the information, prison officials wouldn't explain how Emery could go undetected for so long while being so destructive.
Mark Nooth, Snake River superintendent, said the 3,007 inmates far outnumber his staff of 900 at the medium-security prison, and his management team constantly battles the complacency identified by auditors.
"We have training all the time," Nooth said. "With that size of workforce, we're going to have instances where employees maybe are not doing exactly what we'd like them to do."
Prison officials laced the seven-page report with recommendations, all redacted before release to the newspaper. Nooth said most of them have been adopted.
Norwood, 41, got six months in segregation for the escape attempt. He was serving time for burglary from Eugene. An intake counselor didn't properly document Norwood's escape from a Colorado halfway house in 2000, according to prison records.
Emery, 50, also got six months in segregation and later was transferred to the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem. He was convicted in Bend of robbery, kidnapping, assault and attempted rape. He will be 96 when his sentence ends in 2060.

Evolution and Human Behavior – Thoughts for 6th Graders
In late 2011, my daughter Megan, then 11, was taking an awesome social studies class in 6th grade. Her teacher, Ms. Naclerio, was very interested in evolution and human origins - so Megan chimed in and and was like "hey, my dad sort of studies that kind of stuff - maybe he can come in and talk about it with the class." So the deal was done before I even got home that day!
Hmm - I'm an evolutionary psychologist - not a fossil guy who's done fieldwork in the African Savanna. What ideas from my field could I talk about that would explicate some important ideas related to their curriculum on human origins?
As luck would have it, this all was right around the time that we were planning a visit to campus with the iconic Robb Wolf (author of The Paleo Solution), as part of SUNY New Paltz's Evolutionary Studies (EvoS) Seminar Series. Robb's work (encapsulated in Robb's talk at New Paltz, found here) focuses largely on an idea that's basic in evolutionary psychology - Evolutionary Mismatch - or the idea that problems emerge when an organism happens to exist in an environment currently that mismatches important features of the environment that was typical during the evolutionary history of that organism. According to Robb and others in the Paleo field, people in "advanced" societies like ours have many major health problems, such as obesity, because our modern environments (which include things like McDonald's) have historically unprecedented amounts of unnatural, processed foods (milkshakes, high-fat meat, foods densely loaded with carbs, etc.).

Film: 'Side Effects'
Date: February 13, 2013
by: Pam Nadon | Film Critic
All is not as it seems in director Steven Soderbergh's new film, "Side Effects." It's an intelligent, twisty murder mystery that plays games with your brain. So pay attention. This film is not for slackers.
In the opening shot, the camera zooms into an apartment window and pans across a floor marked with bloody footprints. Immediately, we're drawn into a web of deception woven by a devious perpetrator whose identity is up for grabs.
Rooney Mara plays Emily, a young working woman whose husband, Martin (Channing Tatum), has just been released from prison after serving four years for inside trading. During Martin's incarceration she sought psychiatric help from Dr. Victoria Siebert (Catherine Zeta-Jones) in Connecticut. Seems the loss of living the good life was not an easy transition for Emily. When Martin comes home she has difficulty coping, sinks into depression and is referred to a New York shrink, Dr. Jonathan Banks (Jude Law).
A drug company is paying Dr. Banks to conduct a study on a new antidepressant called Ablixa, which he prescribes for Emily, after she purposely rams her car into a brick wall. Ablixa's side effects result in unforseen consequences, including a murder. But who's the responsible party? Is it Emily, Dr. Banks or, perhaps, the pharmaceutical company? Someone must pay, literally, if you get my drift.
It's difficult not giving away too much without spoiling what's going on in "Side Effects." There are so many subplots and twists in this psychological thriller, it will leave audiences reeling. Soderbergh ("Traffic") grabs your attention at the get-go and never lets loose. He throws about psycho babble disguised as clues. "Past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior." "The inability to construct a future defines depression." Pay attention.
The casting is first rate. Mara ("The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo") is the consummate chameleon. Her portrayal of the disturbed Emily is so multidimensional it is head spinning. Law ("Contagion") is at his best as the confused psychiatrist who is told he needs a shrink. And Zeta-Jones ("Traffic") has playing an ice queen down to a science in her duplicitous depiction of a caregiver.
"Side Effects" deals with greed, karma and revenge. Soderbergh cleverly doesn't assign guilt to any one person or organization. He merely points out that Wall Street, the pharmaceutical industry, doctors and lawyers can, collectively, be responsible for moral disintegration.

Whether you like comic books or not, this series is a must-read. It delivers action, suspense, and political satire comparable to Alan Moore's "Watchmen." One of my personal favorites that I highly reccomend to all.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
