How do you get men to put down their girlfriend's Cosmo and pick up one designed for them? By making it available as a discreet iPad app.
But how do you get the word out that it's okay for men to download a Cosmo written by women but for them? If you're Hearst Communications, the publisher of CFG, the new Cosmo for Guys, you hire Michael Krivicka of Thinkmodo to create a viral video for you.
Krivicka is infamous for several viral videos, most famously the iPhone Times Square hack video that had people questioning whether a smartphone could really take over a jumbotron with a simple homemade enhancement.
Thinkmodo is the master of illusion and making viewers question reality. But working with its latest client, a company as established as Hearst, offered some challenges.
Instead of hiding the client or product it is promoting, as Krivicka often does, the video created for Hearst, which went live Monday morning at 6:30 a.m., introduces the product right away.
The video features an attractive woman walking through Bryant Park in New York City with an iPad for a head. The thought being, if you touch the iPad, you can get into the woman's head.
Onlookers stare as she walks by but instead of focusing on the attractiveness of the women, their eyes are fixed on her odd head.
"What makes CFG unique is the fact that it is a men's magazine written by women," Krivicka said. "In other words: CFG lets men know 'what women want.' It was important for Cosmo that this message comes across in our video.
"So we needed to come up with a concept that illustrates a guy 'getting into a girl's head' or a guy 'reading a girl's mind." At the same time we wanted to communicate the iPad app idea too. And so 'iPad Head Girl' was born."
But unknown to passerbys, the woman behind the iPads couldn't see her surroundings during filming. A hidden camera in her purse fed images onto a screen built into the back end of the iPad head, just so she could see ahead of her.
Central to Thinkmodo's approach to creating a viral video is creating a concept that has a simple but unique catch phrase that users walk away with and talk about at the office cooler.
For one of his most popular video, Krivicka had people searching Times Square iPhone hack and because of the uniqueness of the phrase, only finding his video.
For Hearst, Thinkmodo hopes people will remember "iPad Head Girl."
"Creating a viral hoax is one of many ways to create buzz," Krivicka said. "'iPad Head
Girl' is a conversation starter because it is cool, unique and has a wow factor. The CFG branding at the end of the video is subtle enough so the viewer doesn't feel like he/she is watching a commercial. It is the perfect mix of those elements to make the campaign effective and to create a lot of buzz for CFG."
But creating the iPad head, the central part of the entire campaign, was a challenge.
"One of the challenges was to figure out how the actress would see once the iPad head was on her head," Krivicka said. "Inside it, she was blind. Since she had to walk around the park, we had to find a solution to making her see where she was going. So we placed a video camera inside her purse that was wired to a pair of video glasses which the actress would wear inside the iPad Head. The camera would basically send a live video feed into the video glasses which enabled the actress to see where she was walking."
The shoot only took a day but the team made preparations and ran tests for a couple of weeks. The iPad head was made engineered by Clockwork Apple and on the day of the shoot, Thinkmodo first filmed all four iPad faces individually and then built the head and synched the faces for filming.
The end result is a cool video that has the feel of something organic, almost like a group performing an on the spot low brow stunt to get public reaction. Exactly what Hearst wanted.
"Cosmo didn't want a hoax," Krivicka said. "They also didn't want to use celebrities. They wanted something original and innovative that has a strong coolness factor to grab everyone's attention. Cosmo called us because they have seen our work and wanted to do something different and edgy
to make a big impact."
The monthly app is available for download today in Apple's App Store for $3.99. The video went up on YouTube earl Monday morning. Check it out for yourself below.

Man caves
And your male room shouldn't be where the wagon wheel coffee table goes to die; that's what craigslist is for, duh. Lose the threadbare recliner and put your collection of baseball caps or hockey jerseys in storage. Call me crazy, but clothing is meant to be put on the body, not hung on a wall.
I hate to break it to you, but you're not a cave man. You're a guy who hasn't shaved in three days. Wash off your Pleistocene funk, turn on the light, and for god's sake, stop grunting. If not, I'll have no choice but to whack you with a woolly mammoth bone, which is going to leave a mark, no matter how you try to cover it up with your loincloth.

You know, Tim, it's not the separate room so much as it is the term "man cave." It sort of reduces guys to knuckle-dragging status and I think y'all are better than that. Maybe it should be called a "Gentleman's Club" or the "Male Room" or something like that.

My husband made his 'man cave' in the shed. The metal, rusting, ghetto shed, in the yard. He has a tiny tv and a cast-off padded lawn chair in there, along with a fan for Summer and a small heater for winter. He lives there now. He only comes in to go to bed. We call him "Shed Guy." Meanwhile, I have to store my Xmas decos and my garden tools in the back of the 'man van' that he never ever drives. Because he has displaced them with his shed lifestyle. I want to punch HIM in the face.

I don't know for sure, but I suspect that, as we neanderthals grow older, our ideal man cave evolves, even if we don't.
Mine is now a clean, well lit, large room with a big screen TV, killer sound system, easy access to the kitchen, and comfortable furniture.
And, everything is color coordinated.
Oh, and women are allowed access at any time. Well, only ONE woman is allowed access at ANY time, but you get the idea...

I like the idea of a man cave. He can perform all the offensive behavior in there and come out when he feels like a grown up.
Call it "Time Out" and like magic, it becomes a good thing.

Megan Fox, Jimmy Fallon, Wiz Khalifa + Nick Cannon Play Epic Game of Pictionary [VIDEOS]by Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
It was a typical family game night over at 'The Tonight Show' last night (Aug. 6), if your family happens to include Megan Fox, Jimmy Fallon, Wiz Khalifa and Nick Cannon, who all got together to play one seriously epic game of Pictionary.
Megan Fox and Nick Cannon were paired off on a team, while Jimmy Fallon and Wiz Khalifa teamed up against them. The 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' star was up first, and her attempt to draw "a frog in your throat" was only made funnier by Cannon's attempt to guess what it was. And Fallon and Khalifa shocked just about everyone (including themselves) when the rapper correctly guessed "puppeteer" based on the host's drawing.
While Cannon and Khalifa each took their turns to have their teammates guess their drawings, the highlight of the game occurred in the final round when Fox and Fallon battled it out at the same time and were forced to draw the action of taking a selfie. LOL!
Which celeb team came out on top? Watch the video below to find out, and check out the video above to see even more hilarious Pictionary action!

My application to complete my residency and work as a doctor in Denmark is done. It took a while to gather everything, but all in all their system seems much more streamlined than in the US. SR also got his in, too, and should be able to start subspecialty training right away. We bought our plane tickets to leave the country at the end of November. Already we're talking about ski trips their and our more official (and big) wedding.
I also submitted a research article (unfortunately not on running in pregnancy... that one is still in the works).
And I'm back to exclusively breastfeeding The Bois (looking more and more like my diet WAS the limiting factor).
SR and I went shopping last night. I tried on dresses for his graduation and we bought his favorite for $59 (you gotta love Express). When it came to accessorizing a dress we were about equally clueless, though, so I opted not to buy anything. The Bois was unable to voice his opinion, unfortunately.
And we purchased a few things for the triathlon we're doing this weekend. This will be a first for both of us. We trained last weekend, doing the exact bike (24 mi.) and running (6.2 mi.) route for the intermediate distance (I'll be doing that distance and SR will be doing the sprint). The water has been so cold here, though, that we didn't swim. I convinced SR that I needed to buy a wetsuit. Little did I know how expensive they were. I'll find out if it actually makes swimming any warmer tomorrow night.
As you can tell, it's a slow night at work. I'm getting paid $92 an hour to write this. Yes, it is probably now easier to see why life seems so good.

Lucky girl!! :-)
Hope the wetsuit works for you. I am soooo not a swimmer, so I have no clue if those things will keep you warm or not, although I've heard they do help.
When are you planning the move to Denmark?

You go, Girl, with a Tri! What a challenge! OK, not so much for you, you do all three sports so well and so regulary...and what a great jump into unknown with Europe! I am psyched for you! You guys really support me without knowing it:) Just please promise not to disappear when you move!

Is there a shop where you can rent a wetsuit? Or a friend you can borrow one from? Tris are so freaking expensive. I have all the gear but of course have lost interest in the sport. . . perhaps I will regain interest.
The wetsuit will keep you warm and even better will make you more bouyant and therefore FASTER!

Hey slg: I was thinking about the low calorie/metabolism thing and remembering Alan Alda's PBS show covering a related topic. That guy Dr. Walford, if I understand correctly, advocated strict calorie restriction as a way to live longer. I think one of the key ideas behind this was slowed metabolism. I don't know that his was "good science" but it's interesting. He was one of the Biosphere guys.
- 5 June 2008 at 16:32
- H said...
Tris are just expensive.
The wetsuit will work if the water is cold enough (legal temp according to USAT) to wear them
With as fast/competitive in spirit as y'all are--- you should really practice transitions.

Woman, you deserve it. I sure don't want your job or SR's. Stressful! Good luck on your Tri!

Pre-order bonuses are circulating for Fight Night Champion, due March 1. Get it through Amazon and you'll be given a code that unlocks young George Foreman, back when he had a bigger afro and smaller moobs. He also fights better.
Young George will have a power and speed boost commensurate to that of a young champion, plus those killer red trunks. If you preorder the game through GameStop, the bonus is a 100th anniversary Everlast equipment pack of gloves and shoes for a Legacy Mode boxer. I'd probably go with Amazon on this.
Meantime, a few more screenshots went up over on Operation Sports. Check them out if you want to see more.

H!S uploaded a teaser about the changes in H!P. It shows short clips of the girls that are to be transferred or get to debut (Morito, Yanagawa, Funaki, Ichioka, Danbara, Kawamura). It ends with Funaki opening a door - finding out who her new group mates are?
Seems like there will be an announcement tomorrow.
To summarize it in 1 thread instead of 2 separate....
Juice=Juice will be getting 2 members; Ruru & Nanami (7 total now)
Angerme will getting 2 members; Musubu & Ayano (11 total now)
Morning Musume will be getting 1 member; Chisaki (13 total until fall when Haruka graduates)
Ichioka Reina will become the leader for a new TBD group!!!
Angerme looked like they hit the jackpot with the members. Kana looked batshit crazy excited. I am looking forward to Ruru doing T&C/MKB songs. I think she'll excel in J=J, but Nanami, I'm concerned about. Who didn't guess that they'd add Chisaki to MM? I feel like it was a given. Now Ayumi has a dance battle person that may actually be able to keep up.

As school districts across California confront dire budget scenarios, the Palo Alto school district has nearly $29 million in designated and undesignated surplus funds, a small portion of which will be used to avoid serious cuts in 2011-12.
Students will return to campuses next month with full complements of staff and programs, as well as funds allocated to give teachers time for professional development.
"We feel like we're in a good position, as strong as we could be given what's going on in California," Superintendent Kevin Skelly said.
"Our challenge in the next year as in past years is looking at the uncertainty and building a revenue balance to be prepared for whatever possibilities are happening."
The Board of Education approved the district's $162.4 million operating budget for 2011-12 on June 28. In addition to the revenues projected in the budget, the district also has nearly $16 million in restricted, reserved and designated fund categories and $13 million in unrestricted and undesignated categories going in to this school year.
By contrast, the neighboring Ravenswood City School District, serving East Palo Alto and eastern Menlo Park, will close campuses, boost class sizes and shorten the 2011-12 school year to make ends meet.
Funded mostly through local property tax, Palo Alto schools are largely buffered from the exigencies of 90 percent of California districts, including Ravenswood, that rely directly on Sacramento for per-pupil revenue.
However, Palo Alto's operating budget did take $7 million in so-called "fair share" state cuts, which were offset with, among other things, $1.3 million from the surplus.
Palo Alto found other savings in reducing the number of new teachers that will be hired, a slightly smaller allocation to routine maintenance and a projected increase in revenue from property taxes.
Given the uncertain state outlook, the Palo Alto school board for the past year has requested frequent budget updates from staff, for close monitoring of the situation.
Leftover funds from prior years are routinely used to plug gaps.
Under current projections, the district's Co-Chief Business Officer Cathy Mak said that the "undesignated fund balance" will be exhausted by the end of 2014-15.
The 2011-12 operating budget includes $11.6 million in revenue from the $589-per-parcel tax passed last year.
It also includes nearly $10 million in lease revenue -- mostly from rent paid by the City of Palo Alto for use of the old Cubberley High School site -- as well as $3.4 million in donations from Partners in Education, an independent, parent-led foundation that raises funds for Palo Alto public schools.
With a growing enrollment -- officially counted at 12,024 as of last fall -- Palo Alto operates two high schools, three middle schools and 12 elementary schools as well as a small school at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.

SPRINGFIELD -- The race for the Illinois Senate seat from the 49th District, just south of Springfield, apparently will be the most expensive legislative contest anywhere in Illinois this year.
SPRINGFIELD -- The race for the Illinois Senate seat from the 49th District, just south of Springfield, apparently will be the most expensive legislative contest anywhere in Illinois this year.
Sen. Deanna Demuzio, D-Carlinville, faces Republican businessman Sam McCann, also of Carlinville, in Tuesday's election.
The two candidates have raised just under $2.6 million, according to the non-partisan Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, nearly $1.8 million of that by Demuzio. McCann has raised $789,000.
What's more, the Illinois House contest in the 98th District – which makes up half of the 49th Senate district -- is shaping up as the second most expensive House race. Democrat Charles Landers of Bunker Hill has raised $936,000, while Wayne Rosenthal of Morrisonville has raised $696,000.
All together, 14 legislative races this year have topped the $1 million mark in fundraising by both candidates. Two years ago, only six legislative races topped the $1 million mark.
Plus, final fundraising numbers don't have to be filed until January. Candidates now are required to immediately report contributions of $500 or more, but do not have to report smaller amounts until next year.
ICPR Deputy Director David Morrison said the skyrocketing price tags are the result of money flowing into campaigns from accounts controlled by the four legislative leaders.
"The high numbers are due in part because there are no limits on the amount that leader committees can funnel to legislative candidates," Morrison said.
The second most expensive legislative campaign overall is in the 91st House District, where Rep. Mike Smith, D-Canton, and Michael Unes of East Peoria have combined to raise nearly $1.75 million.
Spending in the Demuzio/McCann race dwarfs the next costliest Senate contest -- in the 40th District, where Sen. Toi Hutchinson, D-Olympia Fields, and Republican Adam Baumgartner of Monee have raised about $1.5 million.
Demuzio received 74 percent of her money from the state Democratic Party and a fund controlled by Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago. McCann got 74 percent of his money from the state Republican Party and a committee controlled by Senate Minority Leader Christine Radogno, R-Lemont.
Landers pulled 86 percent of what he's raised from the state Democratic Party and a personal fund of House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago. Madigan is also head of the state Democratic Party. Rosenthal got 74 percent of his money from the state Republican Party and two funds controlled by House Minority Leader Tom Cross, R-Oswego.
Critics of Illinois' campaign finance system say the unrestricted amounts of money legislative leaders can put into campaigns gives them too much control over candidates and lawmakers themselves.
"Every member of the General Assembly knows that in the current system, money provided by leaders is essential in tight races," Morrison said.

text: Iconoclastic and influential Realist painter Gustave Courbet is often regarded as the 19th century's pioneering artist. Courbet rejected academic traditionalism and bourgeois convention, seeking conflict both artistically and socially with an aim to, as he has said, "change the public's taste and way of seeing." Instead of idealizing his subjects like his Romanticist contemporaries, he dedicated himself to showing things as they are, bluntly addressing themes like rural poverty, as in The Stone Breakers (1849), and human sexuality; his erotically portrayed nudes were received with scandal and even police attention. Courbet also emphasized the painting process, visible brush and palette work displacing the customarily seamless varnished canvas. Younger artists including Édouard Manet and James McNeill Whistler, among many others, enthusiastically adopted these technical liberties. By exhibiting independently of the government-sponsored Paris Salon, Courbet paved the way for upcoming avant-garde movements, particularly Impressionism.

Last week, I got to try my hand at trucking on a simulator at Watsontown Trucking Company.
Let's just say I won't be applying for my CDL anytime soon.
This commentary appeared in the Daily Item Friday, and I thought it would be good for the blogosphere as well.
MILTON — After briefly pausing, John Shires broke the bad news to me.
"If you were one of my drivers," he said, "I would chew you out right now."
Apparently, while driving a simulated big rig down an equally simulated highway, I drove way too fast in foggy conditions.
And, while I avoided smashing into the back of the simulated compact cars in front of me, it could have gotten a lot worse.
"If it had rained the day before, the shoulder could have been slick and you could've flipped the truck," Shires said.
Luckily, my jaunt down the highway was all in fun — I was testing the new L3 Driver Training Simulator at Watsontown Trucking Co. The goal of the three-screen machine — complete with full driver's seat, steering wheel and dashboard — is to teach driving skills and safe practices in a controlled environment.
The setup is pretty advanced and feels like you're really driving a huge tractor-trailer. Shires, a safety instructor at Watsontown Trucking, set the machine on automatic so that I could try it out Thursday.
I started out on a simple highway course set to daytime conditions. But within seconds, Shires had me driving through all kinds of weather conditions — sun, rain, snow, etc.
Then I felt the wheel jerk to the side. The truck spun back and forth wildly.
"That's what it feels like to drive under the influence," he said.
Back to normal conditions, I drove down the simulated highway for a bit merging into traffic and enjoying life in a big rig, if only for a minute.
Then I felt a sensation I have unfortunately experienced in real life. The steering wheel seemed to vibrate in my hands and pulled to the right. My "tire" just blew out.
After returning to normal conditions, I prepared to end my simulation experience, having only hit one obstacle — something my family would be shocked to hear, given my reputation as a bit of a hot mess on wheels.
Then Shires activated the fog. I drove along, preparing to pull over gently.
That's when I saw the stopped cars appear in front of me. I headed to the shoulder, hoping to avoid them.
I did, but didn't necessarily avoid a potential disaster, as Shires pointed out.
Overall, I give the simulator two big thumbs up. It was incredibly realistic and actually kind of fun.
"I've had about 50 people use the machine so far," Shires said. "Only maybe one or two left here and didn't like it."

Sort of like they'll detract from the other ones (which Equal Rites did to me for what it did to Granny Weatherwax). I really can't include that book in the timeline, its like a pilot episode to me, where they change (to better) actors and add the potty mouthed sidekick.
On a somewhat related note, I've moved back to the Asimov novels again, gonna hit the Caves of Steel series (on the 3rd one now), then the Foundation series. I think I've read almost all of his short stories.

The Story - Episode 113
We've all got those stories that we tell ourselves to get by. Sometimes they're rooted in truth, other times...not so much. This week, Snap Judgment examines inner storytelling and how we use it to make sense of the world around us.
Listen to the songs we used in this episode here:
Indonesian Psychic Surgery
Glynn Washington let chance set his course, and followed a new friend home to his Indonesian village. All was well. Drink, discovery, and friendship reign--until Glynn questioned The Most Important Thing to him.
Written by Glynn Washington. Produced by Mark Ristich and Stephanie Foo
Rita Daniels loved her sister. Really. She loved her. But they were two different people and sometimes people grow apart, right?
Then Rita got the phone call no sister ever wants to hear.
Produced by Rita Daniels
Living Biblically
Tejero's reading of Christianity demanded he practice "polygyny", the act of having more than one female partner. And Tejero did what God told him to do, no matter what persecution he faced. He was desperate for a community that would accept him and help him preach. But you have to be careful about who you let tell your story.
Produced by Stephanie Foo
So Embarrassed
For Jeff Greenwald, Tibet was a transcendentalist paradise. The people, the food, and the breathtaking beauty captivated him. And Tibet loved Jeff right back, granting him access to areas no Westerner had ever seen. It was almost like he fit right in.
Produced by Roman Mars and Stephanie Foo

More information about the PATTERN would be helpful. Under bash 4, for example, the ABS source tells me that character types – e.g., "alnum" – can be used. But what if one wants to match a variable number of digits, for example? A comment at StackOverflow gave me the answer.
It seems that there are all sorts of possibilities! But none of them are documented under "case" in my man bash page or my info bash. (There is documentation elsewhere for patterns in general.)
The new bash 4 patterns make it possible to use case to validate replies. I need validation, because an unvalidated reply can crash the script – if I assign the reply to an integer variable, for example, and the reply is not an integer.
I think this is the code I need:
shopt -s extglob # Must go in main line, ideally just after the shebang # ... read -p "Enter the message position (use sign for relative position): " tMPos # Validate the reply (tMPos) and update the global message position (vMPos): # case "$tMPos" in # Positive integer? Add to curr value ([+]+([[:digit:]])) vMPos=$vMPos+10#$tReply ;; # Negative integer? Subtract from curr value ([-]+([[:digit:]])) vMPos=$vMPos-10#$tReply ;; # Unsigned integer? Replace from curr value (+([[:digit:]])) vMPos=10#$tReply ;; # Other: Catch the error and throw it back (*) echo "Reply ($tReply) not an integer" esac
I tested it, and it works! – though gvim doesn't much like the "]]))"!

There was a wonderful TechCrunch article I read last week talking about my favorite new site on the web, The Fancy. I can only describe The Fancy as a Pinterest for hipster guys. Gone are the vast expanses of cupcakes, babies, and "Keep Calm" memes. In their place is an elegant layout of watches, gadgets, tailored suits, sleek rides and other shit guys like. "Fancy's users are currently 60 percent male, and are more often posting consumer goods of the Fab.com variety; high-fashion clothes and accessories and photos of exotic locales."
As someone who has been secretly waiting for a Pinterest like platform for the cool things I see across the interwebs, this was an inner sigh of relief. However, my excitement doesn't just end there. It turns out that The Fancy is doing something much better than Pinterest – Social Commerce. Buy links and discount promotions from The Fancy itself is helping to propel an exciting new space in e-commerce. "Fancy" something and get rewarded for it. As I have blogged about previously with Gary Vaynerchuk, this sort of village marketing is bringing us back to the days of old when word of mouth led to direct profits.
I love this website and I'm extremely excited to see how social commerce in this form or another can help propel the spread of cool shit.
But don't take my word for it:
From TechCrunch:
Fancy, whose parent company is thingsd, already has some impressive supporters (hello, Kanye), as well as board members like Jack Dorsey (Twitter, Square), Chris Hughes (Facebook), Jim Pallotta, and LeRoy Kim (partner at Allen & Co.).
The startup's investor line-up also includes top VCs Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, Allen & Co., General Catalyst, Esther Dyson, Celtics owner Jim Pallotta, MTV creator Bob Pittman, former eBay COO Maynard Webb, Eric Eisner, Jeff Samberg, oh, and Ashton Kutcher.

Group mentoring meets a variety of needs where one-on-one programs fall short.
One time-tested ingredient of success is the colleague who can teach you almost everything you need to know—a mentor. Mentoring usually involves a seasoned employee or manager working one-on-one with a junior employee. But this style of dispensing guidance in the workplace may not be the most effective. Another method—group mentoring—is becoming increasingly popular.
More mentoring programs fail than succeed, says Mindy Zasloff, mentoring practice leader and senior consultant for Strategic Partners Inc. "One-on-one mentoring, particularly hierarchical mentoring, where an older sage person mentors a junior person, is very difficult to make work," she says, adding that most people don't learn effectively in that kind of setting. It's not necessarily productive to focus on what worked for the mentor in the past. New employees and organizations should be forward-looking.
One-on-one arrangements often fail to take into account a mentor's many roles. Mentors can be educators, career advisers, networking facilitators, sponsors or promoters of their protégés' talent, and sometimes just really good listeners. In government, where mentors and protégés often are nominated through formal programs, the assumption is one mentor should play all these roles. But, Zasloff says, it is more realistic to recognize that each mentor has different strengths and each of those mentored different needs.
Group mentoring takes a different approach. It could involve five to seven people with one or two mentors leading a discussion about the organization and their roles. Sometimes a facilitator takes the lead so mentors can focus on listening and guiding rather than just lecturing about what they have done and how. Zasloff has seen tremendous success with such programs at federal agencies. "The beauty of group mentoring is you get people together with similar learning goals and they learn from each other," she says.
Pulling together a group mentoring program takes preparation and follow-through. Maintaining a mentoring calendar can help the group schedule a new activity every month. The first session should focus on getting to know each other and briefly talking about goals and aspirations, Zasloff says, followed by writing goals and developing an action plan.
Especially in government, where managers are resistant to trying new models of mentoring, she says it is necessary to have someone guide the process from idea to implementation and beyond. "In the government, a lot of people hoard knowledge, thinking that gives them power," Zasloff says. "But what's required is that everyone help each other."
Even senior leaders who are willing to help junior employees must realize the process is not a just a data dump, she notes. They must be aware of their protégés' goals and figure out how to assist. On the flip side, before entering any kind of mentoring program, junior employees must outline their goals and keep a laser focus on them.
Despite the seeming complexity of setting up group mentoring, she says it is significantly easier than establishing a formal one-on-one program, in which people must be nominated and matched based on their organizations and roles.
But given how often mentoring programs fizzle out, Zasloff warns managers to keep a strategic eye on their effectiveness and how they can be improved. The success of up-and-coming employees, and the organization as a whole, could depend on it.

Rocked by a corruption scandal, Turkey looks further than ever from its goal of European Union membership as Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo?an meets with EU officials today (21 January) in Brussels amid a crackdown on the judiciary and police.
Erdo?an has purged hundreds of police and sought tighter control of the courts since a corruption inquiry burst into the open last month, a scandal he has cast as an attempted "judicial coup" meant to undermine him ahead of elections.
The purge extended to the banking and telecoms regulators as well as state TV over the weekend, with dozens of executives fired in moves that appeared to broaden the backlash.
Erdo?an, who has mockingly dismissed expressions of concern from the EU, is due to hold talks from Tuesday with top officials including European Commission President José Manuel Barroso.
But the backdrop for his first trip to Brussels in five years is not the one that his aides might have hoped for.
"Erdo?an's visit will have its challenges," said one official in his office, noting that the visit had been planned long before the corruption scandal erupted.
Ankara began negotiations to join the EU in 2005, 18 years after applying. But a series of political obstacles, notably over the divided island of Cyprus, and resistance to Turkish membership in Germany and France, have slowed progress.
Both sides are likely to make grand statements about the importance of reform and commitment to Turkish accession. But in private, officials say the developments of recent weeks mark a considerable setback in their relationship.
"This has chilled the atmosphere to a significant extent," one EU source told Reuters, describing Erdo?an's reaction to the graft scandal as a "cold shower" for relations with the bloc.
"Growing distance"
A draft bill from Erdo?an's ruling AK Party which would give government greater control over the appointment of judges and prosecutors, has raised alarm in Brussels.
Erdo?an's supporters say the reforms will bolster, not weaken, the independence of the courts by curbing the power of Fethullah Gülen, a U.S.-based cleric and former ally who wields influence among the police and judiciary.
"We will continue with this step we have taken on the changes to the law … Hopefully our friends will get this through parliament without delay," the prime minister told reporters in Ankara before leaving for Belgium.
Erdo?an's visit had been meant to build on positive momentum after the start of a new round of EU membership talks in November, the first in more than three years. The discussions had been delayed by EU states in protest over a Turkish crackdown on anti-government demonstrations last summer.
Now Erdo?an's critics say his response to the corruption probe is further evidence of the authoritarian tendencies of a man long held up by the West as a potential model of democratic leadership in the Muslim world.
"I think this visit will confirm the growing distance between Turkey and the EU," said Fadi Hakura, Turkey analyst at British think-tank Chatham House.
"The accession process is clearly comatose, is clearly stagnant and there is little trust between the Turkish government and EU."
Some in western Europe fear Turkish membership would widen the EU's borders too far, to the fringes of Iran, Iraq and Syria. Erdogan has repeatedly criticised the slow progress of the accession process and opposition from some EU members.
But his office stressed he would use his visit to Brussels to push for full membership.
"This visit is a sign that Turkey has not given up on the EU," the official in his office said.
"It is unjust to show Turkey as the reason for relations not going as intended … Turkey is continuing to make reforms in every area and its economy is very strong. In this environment there is no benefit for anyone in halting Turkey any longer."

Just When You Thought You Couldn't Be More Sick of the Term, Cisco Discovers Web 2.0
Cisco CEO John Chambers needs to get a crash course in Web lingo, it seems. Yesterday, on a conference call with analysts about the company's strong third-quarter earnings, he kept talking about "Web 2.0," as if he had just discovered gold in the Klondike.
That makes a bit of sense, given that Chambers has been trying to reposition the image of a company that has been known more for its unsexy expertise in selling Internet innards to the corporate market (somehow, "infrastructure equipment maker" just does not roll off the tongue). Via a series of recent acquisitions of more consumer-facing companies like WebEx and Five Across, Cisco has been making aggressive moves of late with a focus on being a big player in home-entertainment networking gear (it also owns wireless router Linksys and cable set-top-box maker Scientific Atlanta).
Noting the boom in the consumer traffic on the Web, especially in high-speed video, and the development of all sorts of newfangled products like social-networking and other more interactive methods of communication, all of which fall under the tired-by-now Web 2.0 rubric, Chambers said, "I don't think we are being overenthusiastic when we say this will drive the industry for the next decade."
I am interviewing Chambers at the D: All Things Digital conference that Walt Mossberg and I host in a few weeks, and I am looking forward to all the new catchphrases from the affable executive. Now that he has Web 2.0 down, you know it's just a short hop to Twitter.

You don't need to be able to hold your breath for minutes to enjoy freediving. Below the Scuba Diver Girls's Margo Sanchez explains why diving without gear can lead to the best underwater experiences.
Scuba Diver Girls Stephanie Adamson & Margo Sanchez are based in California. © Scuba Diver Girls
Why freedive?
There is something very freeing about diving without heavy gear. It is a magical experience when you drop down into the silence of the ocean, but hear the distant chirp of a dolphin or crackling of shrimp. The sport gives myriad benefits over time. Learning the breathing and relaxation techniques teaches you how to relax your mind and body in many situations, both in and out of the water. After practicing, you get more proficient at using those techniques and can challenge yourself to extend the amount of time you can stay under the water.
Press play and watch a harbour seal play with the Scuba Diver Girls
How did you get into it?
I started out scuba diving and gained my passion for the underwater world with a tank on my back. But it wasn't until I started diving with sharks that I realized I was not able to get close while I was blowing bubbles loudly on open circuit. I decided to try taking off my tank and diving down with them while holding my breath instead. Once I realized that this brought a whole new dimension to my diving, I decided to take the beginner freediving training with SSI (Scuba Schools International).
"As you swim through the forest, the sun streams through the kelp canopy like stained glass."
Best freediving experiences?
We have been all over the world both scuba and freediving. There are beautiful coral reefs in remote locations of the world that are breathtaking as you skim along the top checking out the little critters that flit in and out. Waking up at dawn in tropical locations to silently slip into the water and then skimming across the surface, looking for what the location has to offer, before finally gliding through its depths is one of the most exciting experiences a diver can have.

Stop, you're making us jealous! But go on anyway…
Probably my favorite place to freedive is right in our back yard in La Jolla California. Dropping down beneath the surface into a thriving kelp forest is an ethereal experience. As you swim through the forest, the sun streams through the kelp canopy like stained glass and a multitude of fish congregate while you swim by. Sometimes you get a visit from a frisky sea lion or a harbor seal tugging on your long fins while other times you swim gracefully alongside a sleek grey shark while it looks into your eye and you hold a common respect for each other through that connection. Most of these sea life encounters can only be experienced on a breath hold and a dive.
"Most of these sea life encounters can only be experienced on a breath hold and a dive."
© Lesley Grey Alstrand
How do I learn?
Starting out by snorkeling is a great first step. Finding an instructor is next. There will be some out of the water training first for the diver to better understand how freediving impacts the body. For example, what the 'mammalian diving reflex' does once in the water, what a diaphragm spasm is and how you should react to it and what the importance of clearing the ears and how often is etc. These principles are important as a foundation so that when you get into the water, you understand what is happening with your body as you dive.
Golden safety rules?
The most important is always dive with a partner. Understanding your body's limitations and physical reactions to breath hold is also important. Which is why this is a progressive sport. It is important to learn about your body before progressing to the next depth or time threshold.
© Ashley Hauck
Greatest challenges?
There are two big challenges that may come as a surprise when a new diver begins. First, freediving is very mentally challenging. It's natural to feel anxiety when holding your breath under water. Learning how to calm your mind is important. The second big challenge that many people face is ear trouble. Your ears are very sensitive and when you dive under the water it's important to learn and understand not only the technique to clear them effectively, but how often.
"Since I started freediving, I am more relaxed, happy and in shape than I have ever been."
Anything else?
The first goal is to have fun! A freediver should first enjoy the experience. This means taking the training at your own pace and not setting unrealistic goals for yourself in holding your breath or going to greater depths.
© Ashley Hauck
What else do you get from freediving?
Not only do the techniques and breath hold skills assist me in enjoying some of the most amazing sea life, but they also help me in my everyday life with stress management. Since I started freediving, I am more relaxed, happy and in shape than I have ever been. The sport brings peace to your life through the silence of the underwater world.

No, *manila files control how Manila, HTC's interface, operates. I was just playing around testing if I could determine what was cooked into the ROM and what was not, and figured people like Santod and Purian could use such an app, hence why I wrote it.

It backs up to whatever directory you install the app to. So if you install it to the device, it'll be on the device, if you install it to the Storage Card, then it'll backup there.

I'm on the Evo 4g and no matter which custom rom I'm usuing I usually get the best results from your kernel that you made for warmpointtwo rls 4. I downloaded it off xda under myns thread but cant find any info on its specs. The kernel version is 184.108.40.206-ck2 [email protected] # 16. Wondering what are the specs? BFS? HAVS? And if there you have anything similar to it to suggest I try? Again thanks a ton!

LOVING everything about the kernel, esp. compared to random reboots on a variety of Anthrax kernels w/Myn and Eternity. Brilliant work!
ONE ISSUE: no matter what I do (Synergy optimizations, etc.) I absolutely cannot get apps to xfer to EXT4 suing Myn's Warm 2.3. Not a real concern in terms of internal space, but would love to experiment with how apps on EXT4 affects Evo3D performance in a rom that otherwise works great for me.
If you have a minute! Thanks!

Hello Everybody,
My name is Antonio and I'm currently living in Worcester, Mass. My girlfriend Jessica and I recently ran into Michelle at Country Max in Ontario, NY and we were given a card for this forum. Jessica currently runs her own rescue/advocacy group called Paws Crossed Pit Bull Advocacy and has recently joined the forum. I have an undying love for all animals but have an appreciation for the Pit Bull breed and bully breeds alike. I have learned a lot from what Jessica has done over the past 13 years and respect the work she has put into helping these amazing dogs and spreading awareness to people whom have had a negative impression of the breed. I support everything she does and help out where I can. I have a 7-year-old American Bulldog named Nakita who I adopted 3 years ago and she has been nothing but a joy since the first day I picked her up. I also have a little pittie stepson named Judo who is 11 months old and has to be one of the most well behaved and well mannered puppies I've ever had the pleasure to spend time with. He is currently being trained to do therapy work by Jessica (who has training, behavioral, and showing experience) and he's making amazing progress. I think it's great that these forums are around to spread the good word of these bully breeds and every little bit counts. With in the next few months I hope to get more involved with what Jessica has put so much time, love, and passion into. It's truly an amazing feat.

Indescribable: Top of the line on a mountaintop
ADDRESS: Far Fields Lane
ASKING: $3.4 million
SIZE: 6,434 fin. sq. ft.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Western Albemarle
CURB APPEAL: 8 out of a possible 10
LISTED BY: Cynthia Viejo, Montague, Miller & Co. 951-7175
Working closely with noted architect James Tuley back in 1987, artist Patricia Alliger spent three years designing a home that would fit her to a tee. Unique in these days of conformity, the house overwhelms with its almost blithe disregard for convention.
As you drive up to– or rather, around it, the driveway exudes a Hollywood Hills flavor. It's serpentine and lush with exotic flora, and one easily imagines some striped fauna lurking in the tall grasses. Parking behind the house, in a courtyard area, one immediately gets the feeling of a kind of spatial interconnectedness going on.
The two buildings that encircle this area have been designed to, as Alliger puts it, "architecturally answer each other," like a pebble dropped into a still lake with its concentric circles extending outward. To the left, a massive studio/garage/recording studio "answers" the main house on the right.
Only the roof is visible as you walk into the living quarters and are greeted not by coat racks or an entry hall, but by one huge round glass room. Possible uses could be concerts, tea ceremonies, or– as Alliger originally intended– a studio. This whole space was blasted out of the side of a mountain, and one envisions the oracle at Delphi to command it all.
Alliger further explains her desire: "I'm a round person, and I need to live in a round space." When Tuley showed her the spiraled shell of a chambered nautilus, they knew they had found their design.
Using the ancient geometrical ratio of the Golden Rectangle, the builders began. The Golden Rectangle is said to be one of the most aesthetically pleasing constructs. It appears throughout nature and can be noticed in the way trees grow, in the proportions of both human and animal bodies, and in the frequency of rabbit births. Go figure!
Because the color variations of the stone maintain the spiral feel, one is almost cosmically led downstairs into another chamber. Here, things get a little weird, and you believe F. Scott Fitzgerald had it right when he said, "The very rich are different from you and me."
A curved glass brick wall partitions the circular space into two areas, one for the bed and the other for the kitchen/bathroom– although "bathroom" might be a bit of a misnomer since it's actually a hallway with a toilet and sink in it. With the general feeling of openness of the house, one wonders if it might not be better to take this particular kind of business outside behind some of those exotic bushes.
The house has been quite obviously built for one person (or perhaps two intimates). Fortunately, scattered nearby on the 155 acres are four other dwellings– including two guest cottages Tuley designed, the closest to the main house being the most functional. The other, farther afield, is a honeymoon suite architecturally based on an ancient temple with a pyramid skylight. With views everywhere of several ponds and rolling hills, each structure retains a feeling of total privacy and sanctuary.
The original building on the land– it used to be a packing shed as well as housing for migrant workers– has been totally renovated into a rustic contemporary. More in line with what one is accustomed to seeing while driving around the countryside, it nevertheless has artistic flourishes courtesy of Alliger's unique vision.
The fourth outbuilding, a geodesic dome (which, unless you live in Eugene, Oregon, doesn't really count as a dwelling) has a sweet location perched slightly over one of the ponds.
No doubt there's something for everyone out here. Artists and musicians of all stripes could find both solitude and inspiration (but they'd probably already need to be established). A vineyard could easily be started on the expansive south-facing slopes, and considering the success of Virginia wines, might be the best course of action. It's a grand compound (and could not be fully explained here), and one that left all participants of this tour slightly speechless.

It's easy to see card
Designer's Tip: To avoid bleeding outside the stamped lines, use the fine tip on the Spectrum Noir pens. Also, let ink dry before adding a second color next to it. The moisture from the first color can pull the second color into it, so wait 60 seconds or so for the ink to dry. Finally, don't' color right up to the line, allow for a slight "ditch" of white between the stamped line and the applied color.

Outside a palm-shaded villa in suburban Kuwait City, government security forces are taunted and defied each night by supporters of a former lawmaker ordered to prison for insulting the emir of this tiny nation.
It's a local showdown, but the anger and resistance outside the ex-parliament member's home has the potential to reverberate across the Gulf. Leaders in the region are increasingly boosting punishments for dissent and sharing intelligence, because they fear that Arab Spring-inspired calls for reforms will one day further challenge their fraternity of ruling clans.
The faceoff in Kuwait - essentially over the opposition leader's refusal to submit to his five-year jail sentence - has all the elements to become a test case over just how far Gulf states can restrict expression on the basis of ensuring national security and stability.
Western-backed Gulf leaders were never very generous with political openness. Nations such as the United Arab Emirates have banned political parties and nearly all kinds of protests. The Arab Spring has further reduced the boundaries of what is tolerated.
Dozens of people have been jailed across the Gulf after being accused of offending rulers or the governing systems, including a Qatari poet currently fighting a 15-year sentence.
In Bahrain - the site of the only major uprising in the Gulf - the Cabinet last week backed plans to impose jail terms of up to five years and possible fines of about $26,500 for defaming the king, the flag or coat of arms of the strategic island, which is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
In Kuwait, a new media law is under review that could reportedly levy fines of about $1 million for insulting the emir.
Late last year, the United Arab Emirates greatly expanded its media codes to include possible jail time for certain Internet posts, such as ones that mock the country's rulers or call for demonstrations.
Only Oman appears to be bucking the trend. Last month, authorities there issued blanket pardons to activists jailed for offending the nation's ruler or joining Arab Spring-influenced protests.
For decades, Kuwait's ruling Al Sabah family has allowed the most politically vibrant culture in the Gulf.
Opposition lawmakers have had a powerful forum in parliament, including making calls to investigate alleged government corruption and summoning officials to parliament to be questioned on policies.
Tension, however, spiked late last year after the emir ordered that voting procedures be changed. Opposition groups and others, who claimed the new rules were designed to strengthen pro-establishment candidates, decided to boycott the Dec. 1 parliamentary elections.
It was during a pre-election rally organized by the opposition that former lawmaker, Musallam al-Barrack, lashed out at the emir, saying he was trying to turn the country into an "autocracy." He complained that the election changes were made by decree rather than after a debate in parliament.
The emir, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, was selected by the ruling family in 2006 after an internal power struggle following the death of his predecessor.
Al-Barrack's comments led to Monday's conviction for insulting the emir and his five-year prison sentence.
Al-Barrack, however, has refused to go quietly.
Thousands of backers - mainly members of his powerful Mutairi tribe - have gathered each night outside his house and have vowed to protect him with their lives. Just hours after the sentence was issued, al-Barrack stood confidently in front of his admirers and police were unwilling to challenge the crowd and take him into custody.
"This sentence will never stop us from waging our war against corruption," al-Barrack said. "We will fight tooth and nail until we take back the dignity of our nation."
Then, one by one, backers read verbatim the speech that led to the charges in a clear show of defiance against the emir and the legal codes.
Al-Barrack's towering reputation among his tribe - some call him the "the conscience of the nation" for his battles with the ruling family - gives him more clout than bloggers and online activists also sentenced on similar charges of offending the emir. His defiance could embolden rights groups and others to rally harder against future cases.
Social media sites have been dominated by the standoff for days.
Parliament member Saleh Ashour wrote on his Twitter account: "To stop things from spinning out of control, please turn yourself in."
"You created this fate for yourself," he added. "You have to now face it."
Abdullah Zaman, an activist and host of a political show, tweeted: "Is what's taking place today a fight for reform, or a fight for the protection of one person?"
Al-Barrack's supporters were enraged when police broke into his house before dawn on Wednesday to find that he had already slipped away.
Hours before the arrest attempt, police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse crowds of al-Barrack supporters in a breakaway protest march from his villa. Kuwait's Information Ministry acknowledged that police entered his house, but strongly denied claims that "personnel attacked ladies and children."
The Interior Ministry issued a strongly worded statement late Thursday warning that "any form of riot, violence, instigating of riots and violence" would meet a "resolute and firm response."
Al-Barrack has played the role of radical before.
In 2011, he was a central figure in a political revolt targeting Prime Minister Nasser al-Mohammed al-Sabah that brought down the government.
He has cultivated an image as a supporter of expanded rights, but he also has favored strict interpretations of Islam that run counter to Kuwait's relatively open society. He has joined lawmakers in bringing gender segregation to schools and universities and in a failed bid to allow the death sentence for anyone convicted of insulting Islam.
For now, the showdown continues.
"I hope he turns himself in," said Interior Minister Ahmad al-Humood Al Sabah. "He should respect the law and surrender, and then appeal the sentence."
Earlier this week, however, a website of the Information Ministry was hacked with the message: "Freedom to those imprisoned for their opinions."
Murphy reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

As Cities Burn MySpace page
Tooth & Nail Records
2009 has been a great year so far for Hard Rock & Heavy Metal new releases but there is always a few albums that cross my desk that are awful and a waste of my time. The first suspect of 2009? HELL OR HIGH WATER by Christian Indie Progressive Rock band As Cities Burn.
I got this album a couple months ago for review and I put it in the pile because I have a massive backlog of promos but I read the press release and the band sounded interesting. Tooth & Nail Records is home to the popular Metalcore band Underoath so I figured that As Cities Burn would have some sort of Metal slant to their music. The album cover looked promising although a bit different but you should never judge an album by it's cover!
As Cities Burn plays a very mellow brand of Indie Rock that I would here on my local Indie rock station instead of my local Rock station. There is nothing hard, heavy or fast to the music, it's more ambient (not in a Gothic Metal style) and mellow. Lead vocalist & guitarist Cody Bonnette sounds very whiney and subdued with no display of vocal range or ability, kind of like a younger Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins). The music itself sounded primarily the same over the entire album, the sound effects were distracting and the performances were boring. On the positive side….the production was crystal clear and there is a bit of melody in the songs. I liked the middle section of 'Lady Blue' but that's it.
Bottom Line:
I've played this album at least 10 times to try and find something interesting or something that relates to what this website is about: Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. I didn't find anything worthwhile, what I got was the most boring 10 spins I've ever listened to (and I really listened). The album is so mellow and boring that I actually fell asleep a couple of times and had to go back! There is nothing Metal here, nothing Hard but fans of Indie Rock will eat this up I'm sure. There is crossover Pop Rock appeal to the music so I'm sure that Indie rock stations will pick this up. This type of Indie Rock music gets played all the time at the record store I shop at weekly and I am always annoyed when I hear it. There is good interesting Indie stuff out there but HELL OR HIGH WATER is just boring. If you like Smashing Pumpkins with an Indie/Punk flavor then this is for you. If you are looking for any piece of Metal or Hard Rock…..avoid this album! This is my lead candidate for the worst album of 2009.
Favorite Songs: none

Today I went for lunch with my Mum, my brother and his friend Theo to ASK. I haven't been there in such a long time and I actually really enjoyed it. Especially for a chain sort of restaurant the food was really lovely! Ended up being naughty and buying some boots from New Look that I really didnt need as they are pretty much the same as my beloved Allegeras (doesnt everyone have a pair now?) but suedey/velvety material instead. I really didnt need more boots, but oh well. Can never have enough shoes can we!
I cant help think that my boobs (courtesy of Wonderbra Full Effect, always) look ridiculous in stripey tops. Makes them look a bit wonky haha! Oh well! Never sure if black and blue are still a no no, but who really cares for fashion rules anymore! I saw a similar blazer to the one I wore today in H&M in a lovely camel colour which would look awesome this Autumn/Winter! Oh autumn winter cannot come soon enough!
In London tomorrow so no blog post tomorrow unfortunately! And if you see me feel free to say Hi, It always makes me sad me how many people do tweet me saying "oh I just saw you", Just come say hello! I know its well embarrassing saying Hi to people off the internet but its really embarrassing for me too! I always turn into the most awkward turtle! But I love meeting people who follow my blog!

For you Detroiters waiting patiently for a Chipotle to open within a comfortable walking distance of your home, you'll just have to wait a little longer. Since Mike Duggan has been sworn in as mayor, things have moved at a glacial pace — and not just because of the polar vortex.
Last week Duggan was sworn in as mayor after defeating Benny Napoleon in the city's most boring race ever. However, when Duggan was elected, there were fears that a new white mayor would bring a boatload of white people along with him.
Not so much. While Duggan has concentrated on menial things like plowing residential streets and mandating garbage pickup despite frigid, snowy conditions, Detroit still lacks the necessary amount of tea rooms, sushi bars and vintage record stores that the media tells me that young, white people like but black people can't possibly enjoy or afford.
Fear not, because Detroit's political gentry is making other strides in the wake of molasses-slow gentrification. Newly elected city council president Brenda Jones — whom you might remember joined in JoAnn Watson's Belle Isle "rape" chorus last year — is going to be so busy leading the council that she won't have time to talk to reporters about it. Council President Pro Tem George "Cush" Cushingberry, Jr., however, has plenty to say to the media.
