Praise for the U.S. edition:
"Here, finally, is the complete story with its full cast of characters (not a dull one among them), pure cathnip to fans of World War II thrillers and a lot of fun for everyone else."
—Joseph Kanon, Washington Post Book World
"Brilliant and almost absurdly entertaining…The cast of characters involved in Mincemeat, as the caper was called, was extraordinary, and Macintyre tells their stories with gusto."
—Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker
"OPERATION MINCEMEAT is utterly, to employ a dead word, thrilling. But to call it thus is to miss the point slightly in terms of admiring it properly….What makes OPERATION MINCEMEAT so winning, in addition to Mr. Macintyre's meticulous research and the layers of his historical understanding, is his elegant, jaunty, and very British high style."
—Dwight Garner, New York Times
"Macintyre, whose previous book chronicled the incredible exploits of Eddie Chapman, the crook turned spy known as Zigzag, excels at this sort of twisted narrative….Great fun."
—Jennet Conant, New York Times Book Review
"A nearly flawless true-life picaresque…zeroes in on one of the few times in war history when excessive literary imagination, instead of hobbling a clandestine enterprise, worked beyond its authors' wildest dream….Almost inedibly rich with literary truffles—doppelgangers, obsession, transgression, self-fashioning….It is hard to oversate how cinematic this story really was."
—New Republic
"Another true WWII tale that reads like something by Ian Fleming….the fullest account yet."
—Entertainment Weekly
"London Times writer-at-large Macintyre offers a solid and entertaining updating of WWII's best-known 'human intelligence' operation….[and] recounts [the] adventures and misadventures with panache."
—Publishers Weekly
"[An] edge-of-your-seat history….unveiling previously classified files and even unearthing living witnesses to the grand conspiracy."
—Kirkus Reviews
"This retelling of a well-known part of World War II espionage history will appeal to military history buffs, especially those new to this particular episode, and to readers of adventure fiction, who will find it hard to put down."
—Library Journal
#1 Sunday Times [London] Bestseller
Praise for the UK edition:
"A terrific book….Students of the second world war have been familiar with Mincemeat for many years, but Macintyre offers a mass of new detail, and enchanting pen portraits of the British, Spanish and German participants. His book is a rollicking read for all those who enjoy a spy story so fanciful that Ian Fleming—himself an officer in Montagu's wartime department—would never have dared to invent it."
—Max Hastings, The Sunday Times [London]
"A chillingly good book….Macintyre has taken a well-known story of wartime deception, embellished it, and shown that it was even more ingenious and even more risky than we had all supposed."
—The Spectator
"Fascinating … The complexities and consequences of the story that Macintyre tells in OPERATION MINCEMEAT are compelling – a tribute to his impressive abilities as a sleuth (ones that we've witnessed in his previous books) and to his capacities as a writer. He has the instincts of a novelist rather than a historian when it comes to elision , exposition, narrative and pace, and is depiction of character is vividly alive to nuance and idiosyncrasy. Like the best novelists, he understands that all people are fundamentally individual – odd and unique to themselves – and that stereotypes exist only in bad fiction, whether on the page or on screen."
—William Boyd, The Times [London]
"Ben Macintyre turns up trumps in this rollicking tale of a second world war mission to dupe the Germans by using a corpse bearing fictional military plans … The cast of characters is irresistible, and Macintyre's enthusiasm for them richly merited … a terrific book with exceptional photographs of everybody, including the corpse. Students of the second world war have been familiar with Mincemeat for many years, but Macintyre offers a mass of new detail, and enchanting pen portraits of the British, Spanish and German participants. His book is a rollicking read for all those who enjoy a spy story so fanciful that Ian Fleming – himself an officer in Montagu's wartime department – would never have dared to invent it."
—Max Hastings, The Sunday Times [London]
"Macintyre has a journalist's nose for a great story, and a novelist's skill in its narration. If anything, Operation Mincemeat is even more spellbinding than his previous story of wartime espionage, Agent Zigzag, with a cast-list every bit as dotty and colourful … Macintyre is a master of the thumbnail character sketch."
—Craig Brown, 'Book of the Week', The Mail on Sunday
"The Times's associate editor, Ben Macintyre, also the author of the acclaimed Agent Zigzag, is fast becoming a one-man industry in these updated tales of cunning, bravery and skulduggery. With his mix of meticulous research and a good hack's eye for narrative, it is hard to think of a better guide to keep beckoning us back to that fascinating world … In the story of the homeless Welsh vagrant, Glyndwr Michael, whose body proved so much more worthwhile in death than in life, there is enough pathos and tragedy to remind you that you're reading real life-or-death stuff, influencing the outcome of the entire war, rather than enjoying a rollicking novel, rollicking though the book often is. There's romance, and glamour, and even the splendidly named Sir Bentley Purchase, the cheerfully black-humoured coroner of St Pancras who (illegally) colluded in the procurement of the body. It's hard not to feel, sometimes, that you are reading of impossibly distant times, when men, even dead men, were real men, rather than overgrown toddlers … The shock is not that this all happened, but that it wasn't so very long ago."
—The Observer [London]
"Ben Macintyre skilfully breathes life into the diverse cast of characters involved in the plan, imaginatively fleshing out the colourful personalities on both sides … a diverting account of a pivotal moment in history."

The Journal: Counselling and spirituality
For our 25th Anniversary, we decided to implement a change to the journal Pastoral Sciences, not only to the cover but to the title. The Editorial Board is proud to announce the new name of the journal: Counselling and Spirituality.
Counselling and Spirituality better captures the content of the diverse articles and themes presented in the journal and responds to the needs of our readers. The new name also reflects the growing emphasis on the issue of spirituality in the research and clinical domains. As such, we believe that this change will contribute to the expansion of our journal.
Counselling and Spirituality continues to present interdisciplinary research in practical theology, psychology, pastoral counselling, spirituality and pastoral health care. Articles reflect an international focus on pastoral research. The journal publishes theoretical, empirical and/or clinical articles that are either quantitative or qualitative in nature. Articles are selected based on their originality of scientific contribution.
Although each volume has a special theme, a section is included for regular articles on other topics. There is also a section for recent book reviews addressing topics in the areas of counselling, spirituality and health care.
In conjunction with this renewal, we have developed a website where you will find, a description of the current and upcoming volumes as well as the titles and abstracts of previous publications in Pastoral Sciences.
All English correspondence should be addressed to:
Soti Grafanaki, Ph.D
Associate Editor, Counselling and Spirituality

Warning: Password policy reaction may offend (Humor)humor, MEME, Password, Password policies
A friend of mine recently had to inform his staff of a new password policy requiring all of the following: Upper and lower case letters, a number, a special character, at least 12 characters in length and had not been used in the last six months. Someone sent him this meme in reply:
Video: Happy Halloween!Video
It's that special day again: Halloween! And this is once again my Happy Halloween message to you. This year, I have chosen a different presentation for you.
IMHO, no writer in history embodies the essence of Halloween more than Edgar Allen Poe whom I consider the creator of the horror genre (yes, I know he's credited as the creator of detective-fiction and contributor to the science fiction genre but he dealt more in the macabre than anything else).
Poe's short story, "The Gold Bug," is what got me interested in ciphers and encryption as a young boy; a collection of his most popular short stories is what inspired me to become a writer.
So, on this Halloween 2015 I present a very special reading of Poe's famous short story, "The Tell-Tale Heart." Enjoy!
The biggest password problem is not what you thinkPassword policies, Security
We security types love to blame simple, easy-to-guess passwords for all our problems. We come up with ways for people to generate complex, hard-to-guess passwords that are yet easy to remember. We educate, we cajole, sometimes we shout. We chant our mantra: "Long, complex…long, complex…" Many of us don't even consider that there could be an even bigger problem; in fact, the biggest password problem isn't the use of weak passwords. It's the REUSE of ANY password. We should be preaching against the sin of password reuse more than the sin of weak passwords.
According to security researcher Graham Cluley,
…everyone should run a strict "one password, one website" policy. Reusing passwords is playing Russian roulette with your online identity and (potentially) your finances. It's very common for hackers who have stolen data from one site to then see if they can unlock accounts on other websites using the same credentials.
And you know what? More times than not, it works.
Internet users need to learn that the biggest password problem is not actually dumb, guessable passwords. The biggest password problem is reuse.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Now go and have a great H@110W33n weekend. And don't forget to turn back your clocks.
Should you keep using LastPass?LastPass, Security
Gosh, I've been busier than a centipede on a tightwire and now this. The big news last week is that LastPass was purchased by LogMeIn. LastPass is the #1 rated password manager that I have used for years. This caused quite a stir with many of its users, given LogMeIn's not-favorable reputation after removing free account support from products in 2014 and starting to cross-sell products to increase revenue.
Thanks to an interview with LastPass's CEO and Founder, Joe Siegrist, by Steve Gibson and Leo LaPorte of Security Now, some of the misgivings may have been allayed. You can watch the 20-minute interview below.
I, for one, plan to continue to use LastPass as a premium subscriber. I trust them for their security and transparency and it will take a pretty substantial change in the way they do things to make me consider changing. Should you keep using LastPass? You be the judge.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1
During a recent rash of malware infections on students' laptops, most of which were probably drive-bys or served by frames in otherwise innocuous pages, I remembered a solution that had once served me well: A HOSTS file. As you know, a HOSTS file is a text file on your computer that is used to map host names to IP addresses, but did you know that this was the precursor to DNS? Back in the ARPANET days, this file was manually updated as new hosts came on line or their addresses changed. The file was shared with the members of the network so they could all communicate. DNS made sharing and updating host addresses automatic and relegated the HOSTS file to use mostly on local networks.
While the file isn't broadly used on most networks these days, it remains an integral part of the networking stack on all operating systems. It is the first thing that is checked prior to routing traffic and usually takes precedence over DNS. This makes it very useful for blocking access to unwanted web sites or servers. All you have to do is make an entry in HOSTS.TXT that points the web site or server address to the local machine address, 127.0.0.1. The good folks over at MVPS.org for years have been maintaining a hosts file that does just that. It contains thousands of malicious, useless, or unwanted websites.
I'm going to try using this again on some student laptops and see if it helps. I'll let you know. In the meantime, you can read all about it and download the file for yourself here.
Password guidance from Britain's CPNIPassword management, Password policies, Passwords, Security
Britain's Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI), which works with General Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), recently issued a publication "Password Guidance – Simplifying Your Approach." I found the 13-page PDF document interesting because it provides guidance on simplifying things at a system level rather than asking users to remember complicated passwords. It also says that regular password changing as a policy is not a good thing:
Regular password changing harms rather than improves security, so avoid placing this burden on users. However, users must change their passwords on indication or suspicion of compromise.
But how do you prevent users from using common passwords? Simple: Blacklist the most common passwords (I'll be writing about this later). I would include code to check to see if user name or company name or other common strategies are used and refuse to accept them.
I won't elaborate further; you can read the document and glean from it what you will. However, here is the list of tips. A couple of them offer a different view. It's definitely worth your time to download and read this whole thing.
- Change all default passwords
- Help users cope with password overload
- Understand the limitations of user-generated passwords
- Understand the limitations of machine-generated passwords
- Prioritise administrator and remote user accounts
- Use account lockout and protective monitoring
- Don't store passwords as plain text
And finally, here is a very nifty infographic: Password guidance – infographic
Passwords today: How long and how complex is enough?Data breach, High performance computing, Passwords, Security
In these days of of high profile data breaches, it behooves us to take another look (or two) at passwords. Computing power has increased at phenomenal rates over the years making it (relatively) straightforward to defeat short and simple passwords with common, freely available hacking tools. If you want to explore the exponential increase in computing power further, this Wikipedia article on Moore's Law is quite enlightening. Here's an interesting comparison:
[Illustration] An Osborne Executive portable computer, from 1982, with a Zilog Z80 4 MHz CPU, and a 2007 AppleiPhone with a 412 MHz ARM11 CPU; the Executive weighs 100 times as much, has nearly 500 times the volume, costs approximately 10 times as much (adjusted for inflation), and has about 1/100th the clock frequency of the smartphone.
In March, 2014, I posted "Oh no! Not another password post!" In that post, I recommended 12 characters for a minimum length and said that 15 characters is even better. I still stand by those numbers at this date; however, I did not address password complexity in that post. Length means nothing if the password is either one that is commonly used–such as those on this list–or is a dictionary word or common phrase. "LetMeIn" and "antidisestablishmentarianism" are equally useless. Even "TippecanoeandTylerToo," though seemingly complex, would be easily cracked as it's a common phrase from American history.
Complexity connotes intricacy: The more intricate the pattern of a maze, for instance, the more complex its solution. Intricacy connotes quantity: The more parts the there are to a machine, the more intricate its design. Therefore, we make passwords more complex by using more parts in their creation. This is simply illustrated by comparison. "Password" is eight characters long and uses only letters; "P12@#or9" is also eight characters long but uses letters, numerals and special characters. The latter is the more complex.
So, how long is long enough; how complex is complex enough? A password that is 12 to 15 characters long, is not a common word or phrase, is a mixture of upper and lower case letters, uses special characters and some numerals, should be good for most situations.
Next up: Password advice from Great Britain's GCHQ.
Ransomware on the riseCybercrime, cybercriminals, malware, Ransomware, Security
According to the FBI, ransomware is on the rise:
Ransomware has been around for several years, but there's been a definite uptick lately in its use by cyber criminals.
While it used to be that only desktops and laptops were affected, now mobile phones are being targeted. According to Wired, last week news broke about "The so-called Porn Droid app that targets Android users and allows attackers to lock the phone and change its PIN number while demanding a $500 ransom from victims to regain access." Read the article here.
It's a very lucrative business. Last year victims paid an estimated $27 million to the crooks according to the FBI.
The best protection against becoming a victim of ransomware is to have a good antivirus and keep it updated along with making regular backups of your data that are stored on an offline device.
Top five security faux pas redux
An interesting conversation with our interim campus president at the college today brought back to mind a post from more than five years ago. A server crash this morning made her wonder if a former network administrator, who did not leave on good terms, still somehow had a hand in the incident. Apparently, this fellow had succeeded in planting a logic bomb in the network timed to go off on the date of each new term start. Today was a new term start; today the server crashed. Our president's logic said that "[name withheld] was up to his old tricks." It wasn't that, fortunately. The power supply died.
What was revealing about that conversation is that management at the time failed to consider an internal threat. No doubt the other faux pas were also committed. I saw evidence of them when I first took on the role of network administrator and have since corrected things. So, here's a reminder of how NOT to do things.
Here are my Top Five Security Faux Pas beginning with number five:
- 5. Relying Solely on Software Security Updates–What, you've never heard of a zero-day exploit? C'mon, we professionals know that the bad guys are usually first to discover the security flaws and they're the first to exploit them.
- 4. Altering the Firewall–Oh! There's a threat? Let's add a rule to the firewall. You have a Cisco Certified CCIE-Security on staff? Good for you! If not, this isn't a good option.
- 3. Failure to Monitor the Network–If you don't analyze the firewall, IDS and server logs, you're likely missing things that shouldn't be. Buried among those thousands of failed attempts a finding an open port are those few that manage to attempt a connection and fail. Do you see them?
- 2. Failure to Consider Internal Threats–Your employees are all angels, right? They always follow the security guidelines, policies and procedures you set for them. Outright malice aside, what if that thumb drive they plugged in this morning picked up a trojan from their home computer last night? Oh, oh! You're pwned.
- 1. Mistaking Technical Expertise for Security Savvy–So, the new "Sec Admin" can configure any router or firewall and knows all the commands to "protect" your network. So, what? Can he teach the receptionist how to detect and thwart a telephone phishing attempt? Does he even know how someone would go about that? If not, you're doomed…
Not to sing my own praises, but to sing my own praises, they picked the right guy when they picked me; there have been no major security incidents since I took over.

mongrel2 0.13.0
Ruby-Mongrel2 is a complete Ruby (1.9-only) connector for Mongrel2[http://mongrel2.org/]. This library includes configuration-database ORM classes, a Ruby implementation of the 'm2sh' tool, a configuration DSL for generating config databases in pure Ruby, a Control port interface object, and handler classes for creating applications or higher-level frameworks. It differs from the original Mongrel2 Ruby library (m2r), and the mongrel2-rack library in several ways: * It uses the C extension for 0MQ (zmq) instead of the FFI one. If you strongly prefer the FFI library, both of the other Mongrel2 libraries use it, so you'll want to stick to one of them. * It doesn't come with a Rack handler, or Rails examples, or anything fancy. I intend to build my own webby framework bits around Mongrel2, and I thought maybe someone else might want to as well. If you don't, well again, there are two other libraries for you. * It includes configuration stuff. I want to make tools that use the Mongrel2 config database, so I wrote config classes. Sequel::Model made it stupid-easy. There's also a DSL for generating a config database, too, mostly because I found it an interesting exercise, and I like the way it looks.

6 Ways to Ramp Up Your Walking Workout
Bored with your walking routine? Try these fun and effective ways to shake up your walks, stay motivated, and burn more calories.
Listen Up
Crank up the tunes while you walk (and watch your calorie intake) and you'll lose more weight, according to a study from Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, New Jersey. Women who walked at least three times a week with music lost about 16 pounds in six months, whereas those who skipped the tunes lost only 8 pounds.
Do the Grapevine
Add some variety to your walks by trying the Grapevine (instructions below). If this tangles you up, do a sideways shuffle. Both moves work your inner and outer thighs, says Lalo Fuentes, a personal trainer in New York City. Incorporate a one-minute Grapevine every five minutes during your walk and alternate going to the right and then to the left.
How to Grapevine
1. Step your left leg across in front of your right leg.
2. Take your right foot to the right.
3. Step your left leg behind your right.
4. Repeat.
Throw Some Punches
Release stress and incinerate calories by taking jabs while walking. Begin with your hands in fists in front of your chest. Punch one arm out at a time, rotating each fist so it is palm-side down. Throwing punches tones the upper body and strengthens the cardiovascular system, says Victor Khabie, MD, a sports medicine specialist at the Putnam Hospital Center in Carmel, New York. Walk for five minutes and then jab for one minute. Repeat.
Walk with Your Dog
The majority of dog owners take at least two walks a day, according to a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And 42 percent of owners tally 30 or more minutes of walking daily. Pet free? Volunteer at a dog shelter or offer to take out a neighbor's pooch. You'll be doing a good deed while burning calories.
Try Nordic Walking
Grab some walking poles and you'll tone your triceps and burn more calories. In fact, using poles can torch 20 to 25 percent more calories than heading out without them, according to research conducted at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. To get the most from your workout, bend forward slightly from the ankles and swing the poles so the one in your left hand hits the ground at the same time your right foot makes contact, and vice versa.
Change Your Scenery
Map out a new walking route at your computer. Go to usatf.org, click on "America's Running Routes," and pick a starting point anywhere in the U.S. At gmap-pedometer.com, input a route you plan to take and the program will calculate the mileage for you.

Rite Aid Offers Customers Support Keeping Healthy Resolutions in 2013
Rite Aid Offers Customers Support Keeping Healthy Resolutions in 2013
Free Lifestyle Support Includes Informational Guides, Online Tools, Health Fairs & Pharmacists' Expert Advice
CAMP HILL, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Every year, millions of Americans make New Year's resolutions to improve their health by eating better, exercising more or quitting smoking. Yet just weeks - or even days - into the New Year, many of these well-intentioned resolutions have already been scrapped. To help make 2013 different, Rite Aid is offering customers free extra support including Better You informational guides in all 4,600 stores, exclusive online health resources and expert advice from Rite Aid pharmacists. Rite Aid's wellness stores will also be offering free health screenings and informational sessions the week of Jan. 13.
"Making positive lifestyle changes is easier with the right support network," said Rite Aid Executive Vice President of Pharmacy Robert I. Thompson. "According to this month's Gallup poll, pharmacists are again one of the most trusted of all professions. At Rite Aid, we encourage our customers to seek our pharmacists' expert advice on a range of health topics, such as tips to improve an on-the-go diet, ways to incorporate more fitness into a daily routine or approaches to quitting smoking once and for all."
Rite Aid pharmacists are available year-round to discuss simple approaches to healthier living including:
- Eating better - Pharmacists can provide diet tips and counsel on potential medication-dietary interactions such as the growing list of drugs that can have potentially dangerous side effects when taken with grapefruit. Rite Aid stores also offer a range of healthy food products designed for on-the-go lifestyle including the Wholesome Goodness line, which uses natural ingredients to create minimally processed snacks, drinks and meals.
- Staying fit - Pharmacists can offer suggestions on ways to incorporate fitness into 2013, which may be especially important as some medications can impact metabolism or otherwise affect healthy weight goals. Rite Aid stores also offer FOREVER FIT™ by America's favorite fitness expert Denise Austin. This new line of fitness equipment is available exclusively at Rite Aid and includes 33 fitness products to make it easy to get fit at home with items including balance board, deluxe walking kit, wrist weights with thumb loops and Pilates stretch bands.

HENLEY-ON-THAMES, England—The Harvard varsity eight won its first race at the Henley Royal Regatta and the Crimson freshman eight beat the Yale lightweight varsity in record-breaking fashion Friday on the River Thames, while two entries featuring Harvard alumni also won.
In the Temple Challenge Cup, the Harvard freshman eight won for the third time in as many days to reach the semifinals. The national-champion Yale lightweights led through the first split, the Barrier, but the Crimson went ahead by the Fawley and gained speed over the second half of the race to win by three-quarters of a length. Harvard's time of 6:12 was the fastest in the 21-year history of the event. Next up for the Crimson is a head-to-head matchup with IRA-champion California.
"Both boats raced well, so we're moving on to tomorrow," said Harvard freshman coach Bill Manning. Regarding the Temple quarterfinal win, he added, "We had to come from behind, which wasn't unexpected. We came through them nicely and won a hard-fought race. And our guys have that record until someone takes it."
The varsity eight began its defense of the Ladies' Challenge Plate with a three-quarter-length victory against the Penn Athletic Club Rowing Association. The Crimson posted a winning time of 6:21against a boat featuring former Olympic medalists to set up a meeting with the Leander Club A entry in Saturday's semifinals.
Former Crimson oarsman Brodie Buckland '06 and teammate Will Lockwood won their quarterfinal race against a pair of fellow Australians. They won by 3.5 lengths in 7:25.
Esther Lofgren '08-09 and Caryn Davies '05, both former Radcliffe rowers, competed in their first Henley race with a U.S. quad racing under the name "Princeton Training Center B." They easily defeated the Nottingham Rowing Club with a time of 7:10, advancing to the event semifinals.
Harvard's four will resume racing Saturday in the semifinals of the Prince Albert Challenge Cup, facing Newcastle University. The U.S. men's eight, featuring Henrik Rummel '09, begins its Henley competition Saturday in the Grand Challenge Cup.

When Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson crashed weddings with such crazy success in 2005, they wanted to get laid. Older and not particularly wiser in "The Internship," the guys now want to get jobs.
That's funny. Unfortunately, the comedy is linked to some new-age nonsense about old-school guys finally catching up with the Internet age. It's a one-liner forged into a two-hour joke.
At stake is a much-coveted summer internship at Google that could lead to a full-time gig. This sets up a fish-out-water tale with the 40-something goofballs essentially thrown into a school ruled by young nerd geniuses.
Like high school, there are cliques. But at Google, IQ is the cool factor and the team sports usually involve math.
The plot follows a familiar path — old ways collide with the new world, battle lines are drawn and lessons learned by all.
Case in point: Nick and Billy, Wilson and Vaughn, respectively, discover that the expression is "online" not "on the line." A joke that will make anyone under 100 groan.
On the other side of the cultural exchange, the brainiacs learn how to do shots, approach girls and appreciate the Golden Gate Bridge.
As all that suggests, the movie is not exactly a laugh riot. But its comedy is amiable enough — and surprisingly clean.
Vaughn and Jared Stern, who wrote "The Watch" with Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, have turned in a screenplay light on salty language. Shawn Levy, the man behind the family-friendly antics of the various "Night at the Museums," directs. And with the exception of a trip to a local strip club, one kid's first lap dance and a Will Ferrell cameo, there's not much in the way of sexual references either. There are, however, many heart-to-hearts with Nick and Billy in the role of stand-up guys, almost dad-like in the way they treat the kids.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
Raunchy or not, naughty or nice, with Vaughn and Wilson, it's never so much what is said, but how they say it. If you liked the relationship and the repartee they had going in "Wedding Crashers," that chemistry is very much there defining and driving "The Internship," just dialed down a few notches.
It is apropos that the film opens with a sales pitch, since "The Internship" can seem like a Hollywood-sign-sized ad for the supremacy and humanity of Google. But we're not on the candy-colored Google campus just yet.
First Nick and Billy psych themselves up to make a big sale. That involves singing along to a mix tape that features Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" — you know, "An old man turned 98, he won the lottery and died the next day."
These guys do sales the old-fashioned way, making their pitch face to face, over dinner. John Goodman is their not-so-horrible boss, but it's the client who tells them their company has folded.
Billy and Nick are not merely out of a sale, they are out of a job — and worse, in their mid-40s, out of luck in the modern marketplace.
Nick quickly gets pressed into working for his sister's boyfriend, an uncredited Ferrell portraying a mattress salesman. A slight variation of the actor's scuzzy Chazz in "Wedding Crashers," he takes care of the movie's innuendoes.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
Inspiration for a better, brighter future comes from Billy. After all of his Google searches lead him to dead-end jobs, he — imagine a light bulb here — Googles Google. The Google landing page with its very familiar logo, gets virtually all of the movie's beauty shots.
A brief Skype interview between the guys and Google recruiters sets the very low bar for how dated the jokes will be about Billy's lack of social-networking savvy. But their age will help the high-tech giant's diversity mix, so Nick and Billy are soon on their way to San Francisco and the company's incredible main campus.
Between the free coffee, fruit and bagels, the campus bikes and the nap-pods, I wanted to fill out an application.
Vaughn's Billy is once again able to fast talk his way into and out of more jams than most people have in a lifetime — his stint on the Google help line is one of the film's finer moments.
Wilson lays on his aw-shucks boyish charm, and once again is in line to get the good girl. She's an A-type Google exec played by Rose Byrne, who actually uses her Aussie accent for a change, although the part is one-dimensional, requiring her to be paperdoll-pretty — no real acting required.
Now to those lessons learned. If "The Internship" taught me anything, it is not about aging in the new age, but that Google, not Disneyland, is the happiest place on Earth. For Vaughn and Wilson it should be about coming up with new, really new material before they take their show on the road again.
'The Internship'

Say Hi to Ryan for me!
this blog is great man, i check it after every game. keep it up!ReplyDelete
Jerry looks hilarious in this! Also, please bring the Ollie Box back tomorrow.ReplyDelete
Lol... I love the request from Andrew for the Ollie Box...ReplyDelete
This one's awesome. Like the one yesterday, the day before that, and the day before that...
Also, it's so ironic that you did Rock n Roll in Cleveland because there's a Hall of Fame catered just for that IN Cleveland... Lol.
Yes, I'm kidding.
Good stuff, Joe (if that is your real name... *backing away slowly*)
Is this sketchbook going to be published at the end of the season?ReplyDelete
Thanks for all of the Kudos!ReplyDelete
I am working to get it published as we speak.
Tomorrow I promise....Ollie in the Box returns!
Joe, the Ollie Box tomorrow should have a For Sale sign on it.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJune 17, 2010 at 11:57 AM
I'm a huge fan of your work. Just opened the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse in a Greenwich Village landmark building. Part of the space is an Art Gallery. Would love to host an event/art exhibition with you! Thanks, Jay (212-226-7150)ReplyDelete
Haha LOVE THIS, Actually makes me like Jerry Manuel now. I would buy these drawings in coffee-table book.ReplyDelete
My favorite is "The Ike Man Cometh" - Its my computer backround
Thanks Jay. I will definitely give you a call.ReplyDelete
Moses123....Thanks on the Ike Man piece. Bet it looks cool.
Likin the Andrew idea of "For Sale" on the box. Joe, you like it?ReplyDelete
What I do now is each morning - I make the daily piece my background. It's awesome, refreshing and nice to look at to get me thru the 9-5.
Wait, I don't have a job.
Joe, I have been loving your great work on your Mets Journal since discovering it one day last month via MetsBlog. Win or lose, your artistic take on each game really captures the sentiment of the fans. You're an absolute genius, and I can't wait to check your site the day after a game to see your latest sketch. I have already referred to your amazing site a couple of times on Mets Merized Online. If your sketches do make it to book form, I'll be one of the first in line to buy a copy and I do hope you continue to do this beyond the 2010 season. Anyhow, I just wanted to say thanks for keeping all of us in good spirits through your incredible work.ReplyDelete
Hey Joe,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the thoughtful note. I hope to be doing these forever. I love them and I LOVE the Mets! It's nice to be able to share my thoughts and feelings with so many people who love what I love.
I love doing my other portrait work...but in some ways this is more fulfilling.
please... please... please... get this published. this one (season) is special!ReplyDelete
Is it so wrong that I check this site for the recap of today's game BEFORE I go to ESPN or other sources? It's like a box score with blood pumping through it - and that blood runs blue and orange!!!ReplyDelete
I so love this stuff.
Thanks. I love doing it. Sharing this journal with others for the first time, has really made the season special for me.ReplyDelete
So...Thank you .

Daryl Janmaat has completed his switch from Feyenoord to Newcastle as Mathieu Debuchy leaves for Arsenal.
The Magpies have confirmed 24-year-old Netherlands international Janmaat, who underwent a medical on Tyneside earlier this week, has signed a six-year contract and will replace Debuchy as the club's first-choice right-back.
Janmaat, who has just returned from the World Cup finals in Brazil, said: "Newcastle is a fantastic club, with a big history and a great stadium. I have also been told all about how great the fans are.
"This is the perfect move for me, and I am really looking forward to being with the team and getting started here at Newcastle. I think we are going to have a great season."
Manager Alan Pardew was delighted to get his hands on a man the club had targeted since it became clear that Debuchy would be leaving.
"We are delighted to bring Daryl to the club," he said. "He is the perfect example of a modern full-back: someone who is good defensively, but offers a real threat going forward as well.
"Daryl had an excellent World Cup and we are looking forward to him continuing that form for Newcastle."
Janmaat becomes the club's sixth summer signing with owner Mike Ashley having handed Pardew the financial backing to carry out a major overhaul of his squad.
He is the third new arrival this week following in the footsteps of Montpellier midfielder Remy Cabella and Monaco striker Emmanuel Riviere, and he is unlikely to be the last with the capture of another frontman a priority.
Janmaat, like Cabella, will not travel with the squad on a week-long trip to New Zealand as he enjoys an extended break after his exertions in Brazil.
Nor will midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa, who appears to be facing a bleak future on Tyneside.
The 27-year-old France international has been training away from the main group since his return for pre-season and, according to reports from France, has been fined for arriving back on Tyneside overweight -- a charge he has denied -- though Newcastle were keeping their own counsel on the matter on Thursday.

The rain that started Wednesday night led to a record-breaker.
Rain totals at O'Hare International Airport reached 9.75 inches early Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service. That swept away the previous 9.56-inch July mark set in 1889, making this month the wettest on record.
The precipitation came during a severe thunderstorm warning for northern Cook County, northeastern Kane County, Lake County and eastern McHenry County. A tornado watch also was in effect until 1 a.m.
And while a tornado never developed, high winds did quite a number in Carol Stream.
Mayor Frank Saverino said a shelf cloud formed over the town as winds blew at 62 mph. Saverino signed a disaster declaration on Thursday morning, and clean-up crews from five neighboring suburbs came to their aid to clear debris.
"You can't stop Mother Nature. We're all suffering," said Saverino. "We got wires down and I'm concerned about electricity, about maybe somebody getting electrocuted in their own backyard."
Mother Nature also put on quite a light show during the storm. The National Weather Service estimated that 68,000 lightning bolts were generated.
The area has already experienced very heavy rainfall in recent days and additional heavy rain could lead to rapid flooding. Over the weekend, 6.86 inches of rain fell Saturday, marking a single-day Chicago record set back in 1871.
The season has been particularly damaging for Lake County, which declared a state of emergency after one storm.

LEBANON, Maine — A local woman was flown by helicopter to Maine Medical Center Thursday afternoon after a three-vehicle accident involving a commercial truck on Carl Broggi Highway.
The accident, which occurred near the entrance to Colonial Mobile Home Park in East Lebanon, caused two injuries which were not considered to be life-threatening, according to Rescue Assistant Chief Jason Cole.
He said that around 3:25 p.m., a 1996 GMC Jimmy was traveling each on Carl Broggi Highway and stopped to turn left into the mobile home park, when a 2010 Freightliner commercial truck traveling behind the GMC struck the stopped vehicle.
Cole said it was reported that the driver of the commercial truck was blinded by the sun just before accident.
The driver of a 2007 Mazda SUV traveling west on Carl Broggi Highway then tried to avoid hitting the vehicles, said Cole, but was unable. Upon collision with the Mazda, the vehicles went off the road and went off the road into a snowbank, said Cole.
"This has been the scene of several serious accidents over the past couple of years including a double fatal accident and a lot of them are caused by the sun," said Cole.
The driver of the GMC Jimmy had to be extricated from her vehicle, he said. Jaws of Life were initially called from the Rochester Fire Department, but local crews were able to free the woman before the Rochester fire officials arrived.
The driver of the GMC was first transported to the Goodall Hospital, and then airlifted to Maine Medical Center in Portland by Lifeflight of Maine. Her injuries are considered serious but not life threatening, said Cole. Her name was not available Thursday evening.
The driver of the Mazda SUV, a Berwick woman in her 20s, was transported to Frisbie Memorial Hospital in Rochester for non-life-threatening injuries. She had two young children in the vehicle, and the children were not injured. The driver was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, and the two children were in child seats.
The driver of the commercial truck, a 42-year-old Sanford man, was shaken up but not injured in the accident, said Cole.
Both the commercial truck and the GMC Jimmy were destroyed in the accident and were towed from the scene. The Mazda SUV sustained minor damage and was also towed.
When the accident happened, Lebanon Rescue EMT Larry Woods was nearby and heard the collision He arrived about one minute after the accident occurred.
Assisting the two Lebanon ambulances on scene was an ambulance from North Berwick and advanced life support units from Frisbie Memorial Hospital.
Rochester Fire Department responded with a squad truck and Jaws of Life to assist the Lebanon Fire Department.
The Maine Department of Environmental Protection was notified of a gas spill from the GMC Jimmy. Crews on scene used pads to soak up the spilled gasoline.
Emergency crews were on scene until the vehicles were removed from the road by about 5:15 p.m. Carl Broggi Highway was closed to traffic for about two hours, and traffic was rerouted, as the scene was being cleared.
York County Sheriff's Department also responded to the incident.

Electronic Data Processing—Programming For the Internal Auditor
BY VIRGIL F. BLANK Partner, San Francisco Office
Presented before the San Francisco Chapter of The Institute of Internal Auditors — February 1958
OUR principal concern these past few years with respect to electronic
data-processing systems has been with the problems of shifting from the planning stage to the developing and using stage. Where we formerly struggled to learn all about electronic equipment and its capabilities, we are now attempting to utilize this knowledge in our particular accounting and management applications.
Tonight we shall assume that everyone here has a working knowledge of computer systems. Accordingly, we shall confine the theme of our remarks to the technical problems confronting the internal
auditor as a result of the development and application of electronic
data-processing systems in business.
When we speak of programming for the internal auditor, we are using the term programming in its broad sense. We are selecting the control phase of the electronic data-processing problem in order to concentrate our attention on those matters that should be of particular interest to—and the particular responsibility of—the internal auditor. We are going to focus attention on the auditors' contributions to the programming effort.
As we examine our subject more closely we find one factor which aids in pin-pointing the areas requiring study. This factor is the retention
of all of our traditional auditing methods and standards. Electronic
data processing challenges us only in the matter of modification of our customary auditing techniques. These techniques, therefore, must be shaped to fit the electronic system in such a way that there will be no question as to the validity of the tests or the degree of verification
In most of the present installations the electronic system embraces
a relatively small segment of the total work area for which the internal auditor is normally responsible. It is in this small segment of work that there must be a reshaping of techniques. In this part of his work the auditor will have to change his approach and alter his auditing procedures to meet the requirements of electronic accounting
In carrying out the internal audit responsibilities for the work within the electronic system, it is only necessary to clarify that which

Garden Tiller Safety Tips
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to be used. Remove all stones, sticks, wire, and other foreign objects which could be tripped over and cause personal injury.
Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close fitting slacks and shirt. Loose fitting clothes or jewelry can be caught in moving parts. Never operate this machine in bare feet or sandals.
Disengage clutch levers, and shift (if provided) into neutral ("N") before starting the engine.
Never leave this machine unattended with the engine running.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the engine is running, except where specifically recommended in your operator's manual.
Be familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop the machine and disengage it quickly.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Comedian Tracy Morgan plans to return to Nashville next week to apologize to audience members who were offended by an anti-gay rant during a stand-up show on June 3.
During the performance, the 30 Rock actor told the audience that if his son were gay, he would "pull out a knife and stab" him.
Morgan already has issued a public apology, saying he went too far, even for a comedy show.
On June 14, Morgan publicist Nicole Chabot confirmed that Morgan agreed to the Nashville meeting at the request of Jarrett Barrios, president of Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
Morgan also agreed to meet with gay and lesbian youth in New York City this week.
And he will participate in a GLAAD public service campaign to combat anti-gay bullying.

Firewood, gold prices up in Kabul
Firewood, gold prices up in Kabul
KABUL (Pajhwok): The prices of firewood and gold have increased while that of other essential items remain steady during the outgoing week in the capital Kabul, market sources said Saturday.
Sayed Ahmad, a firewood seller in Kampani area of Kabul, told Pajhwok Afghan News that the price of 560 kilograms of unpeeled oak was increased from 7,100 Afghanis to 7,200 Afghanis and the same quantity of cedar from 6,800afs to 7,000afs.
He said the demand for firewood was increased and that was the reason of its price hike. But the rates of liquefied gas and fuel remain unchanged.
Abdul Hadi, a worker at Wazir Abad Fuel Station in Kabul, said that one liter of diesel cost 48afs and the same amount of petrol 46afs, the same rates of last week's.

What does a Radiologic Technologist do?
Radiographers utilize x-rays and other energy forms to create images of body parts and organ systems to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. They are responsible for explaining and preparing patients for Radiologic examinations. Radiologic technologists also assist physicians in performing sophisticated procedures. They may be employed in hospitals, clinics, physicians' offices, and extended care facilities.
How is the job market?
Demand for Radiologic Technologists is extremely strong in and around the Houston and Gulf Coast region. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of radiologic technologists is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2010, as the populations grows and ages, thus increasing the demand for diagnostic imaging. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the U.S. will need 75,000 more radiologic technologists in 2010 than it did in 2000.
What can I expect to earn as a Radiologic Technologist?
According to the Houston Chronicle (Sept. 2002), salaries for imaging professionals have become very competitive, largely due to the shortage of personal and the technology that has made medical imaging so complex and critical to diagnosis. A new graduate seeking employment as a radiologic technologist could expect to earn an average of $17 per hour. Nationally, the average annual salary is between $30,000 and $38,000.
What will the program be like?
The program will include intense presentation and learning, with strict attendance requirements. Students will be working with real radiographic systems in both laboratory and clinical environments. While developing an understanding of equipment and procedures, students will also work in area hospitals, interacting with patients, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare personnel. Following graduation, students are eligible to take the national certification examination administered by the American Registry of Radiographic Technologists (ARRT). Additionally, some states may require state licensure (Texas Department of Health Certified Medical Radiologic Technologists) exams for official licenses and certifications.
What is the admission process?
Students interested in radiologic technology should have a high school diploma or an equivalent, and must be at a college level in math, English, and writing. Specific admission criteria and minimal physical requirements, such as lifting and moving equipment, are presented in scheduled information sessions. Dates for these sessions and further program information are available on the programs website.
When does the program begin?
Applications are accepted at Lone Star College–CyFair during the spring semester, for the program which will begin the fall semester of that same year. Lone Star College–Montgomery accepts applications during the summer and fall with classes starting the following January.
What are the accrediting and licensing agencies in this field, and where can I get more Information?
The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) accredits most formal training programs for this field. Additional accreditation information may be obtained from:
20 N. Wacker Dr., Suite 2850
Chicago, IL 60606-3182

First published: 3rd August 2000
"HTTP Pocket Reference" by Clinton Wong and "Apache Pocket Reference" by
Andrew Ford are two new additions to the O'Reilly Pocket Reference series
with sixteen other titles to its name.
For those who are unfamiliar with this series, they are small handy quick
reference books measuring 4.25 by 7 inches. These two books have only one
body; divided into main sections and not chapters. The sections are not numbered
and continue on the same page where the previous section ends, giving the illusion that both books
contain only one long chapter.
On its back cover, O'Reilly markets the "Apache Pocket Reference" as a
companion volume to "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C" and "Apache:
The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition". With only 111 pages and 18 main
sections, the content kick off with a clear explanation of the
typographical conventions used, followed by a brief outline of the
command-line options for starting and stopping Apache. Then it lists all
the directories, support utilities and modules that are included in the
Apache web server distribution together with short descriptions. The
modules are also listed with their assigned status, such as OPTIONAL, EXPERIMENTAL or BASE
(compiled into the server by default). Next we have the directives with
the usual information: directive syntax, contexts in which it may be used,
the module that implements it, version compatibility, default value and a
summary of its function followed by a list of environment variables.
The directives are presented in the sequence of those used in general
configuration, in each phase of the Apache processes by order of
occurrence, and in secure Apache implementations with explanations provided
for each section. As they are not grouped by modules or sorted in
alphabetical order, core Apache directives are scattered under different
sections; but an index of directives has been thoughtfully included to
facilitate searching for directives.
The secure Apache section aspires to cover all SSL directives implemented
by mod_ssl, Apache-SSL, and commercial versions of secure Apache such as
Red Hat Secure Web Server, Covalent Raven SSL Module, C2Net's Stronghold,
and IBM HTTP Server. As the different versions often have different names
for similar directives, it tries to clarify this confusing situation by
providing a compatibility note indicating which implementations the
SSL directives are applicable to. This is a very useful feature but we did
find slightly out-of-date information.
Not all directives are included, and some experimental modules and
optional modules have been omitted. Minor niggles include details on
mod_status which is compiled into Apache by
default is given the status OPTIONAL instead of BASE, and the closing ">" for
container directives is missing in the top line of each direction
subsection which gives the name of the directive so "<Directory>" is
printed as "<Directory" but this can be overlooked as it is found in the
syntax that follows.
Surprisingly Apache Pocket Reference is not a dry book as the occasional
explanations under the various sections break the monotony of reading
pages and pages of directives. Someone who is new to the Apache web server
could still read the whole book at one go and discover the power of this
web server without having to read a thick book.
We think this short and compendious book is most suitable for solution providers
and professional services personnel who are working with Apache web server
and constantly on the move, as it is packed with technical information,
highly portable, fits snugly in a back pocket or jacket pocket and can be
whipped out in a second when one Apache directive keeps eluding the mind.
It is truly the constant companion for die-hard Apache users and like it
or not, the copy you own will soon have dog-eared pages.
Moving on to our next book, "HTTP Pocket Reference" is aimed at providing a
better understanding of HTTP for busy people such as system
administrators, web site designers and developers, not to mention software
engineers who need to grasp the gist of this subject without spending too
much time poring over it. For the World Wide Web junkies who have not the
slightest idea of how it all works, this will be an interesting revelation
as it takes the mystery out of the communications between web servers and
clients in a simple and easy-to-understand presentation.
For such a thin book, it manages to cram technical facts, dumps of HTTP
transactions, many diagrams and tables within only 80 pages. First, it
explains what HTTP is all about, the many advantages of understanding how
HTTP works and then proceeds to dissect and analyse every component of a
common web transaction between the client and server program which is made
up of a request and a response message.
It then lists out and explains the various client request methods, server
response codes, HTTP headers, URL encoding, the way client and server
identify themselves, the use of Referer(sic) header, the way a client retrieves
data from the server's response, Internet MIME Types and four bonus
topics that are cookies, authorization, persistent connections, and client
Some readers may prefer to have an index as there is none but this book is
so very thin and concise that the time one spent looking through the index
would be much better spent flipping through the pages, scanning for the
information one required. As this is not a guide for implementing HTTP,
detailed examples of applying the information are not provided.
This book is the perfect starting point for the curious and uninitiated
Web surfers who want to deepen their knowledge of how it all works. For
the technical professional, this will serve as the quick reference guide
to server response codes, HTTP headers, character encoding, and Internet
MIME types.
These two books are such a joy to review until we are now anxiously
awaiting the imminent arrival of another member - mod_perl Pocket
Reference and are looking forward to reviewing it.
If you are reading this review before August 15th 2000 we have a special
competition where you can win one of four sets of these books. See
Apache Week issue 210.

A Christmas tree grown by a Virginia farmer will be displayed at Vice President Joe Biden's residence in the nation's capital.
A Fraser fir grown by Rodney Richardson of Mt. Rogers Christmas Tree Farm in Whitetop was named reserve champion of the National Christmas Tree Association's annual contest. Traditionally, the reserve champion farmer has provided a Christmas tree for the vice president.
John Wyckoff of Belvidere, N.J., was the grand champion winner and will present a tree to the White House.
To enter the national contest, growers must first win their state or regional competition. Richardson won Virginia's 2012 state contest and provided a 12-foot Fraser fir tree for the Executive Mansion last Christmas.

Leupold Mark-4 Scopes
Rule #1, always bring your firearms, fitted with Leupold Mark 4 riflescopes constructed of 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum alloy, when you are clearing out a nest of zombies. My weapon has a Mark 4 riflescope. A weapon with a superior scope can mean the difference between having a zombie eat your brain and survival. With an index matched lens system lens coating, a lockable eyepiece focus design that has generous eye relief, side focus parallax adjustment, 3x twin bias spring erector magnification system, and rugged waterproofing technology, I trust that my Leupold Mark 4 riflescope will consistently help me bring terror to the living dead. How many times have you been stuck on the interstate, the shuffling creatures coming at you, their arms extended and the maggots crawling on their skin only to have wasted your ammo with bad shots?
That happened to my friend, Leroy. He didn't use a riflescope. Now he's a zombie. We were holed up in our SUV out on the interstate, out of gas, past sunset, and the zombies were coming for us. I took out my weapon fitted with a Leupold Mark 4 LR/T long range scope. Its Mil Dot reticle is fully illuminated and is compatible with night vision. This is the same scope that was used by the U.S. army M-24 sniper system for their daytime ops. Its got superior edge-to-edge sharpness across the visual field and it's the scope I use for the low light situations near dawn or dusk that zombies seem to prefer. I flipped open its lens cover and as the creature slogged its way into the crosshairs of my Mil dot reticle, I blew its brains out. (Or, probably, the brains of the innocent victims that they had eaten that evening.)
An especially gruesome zombie with only one arm staggered out from behind a tipped over semi truck. He came for us, and I could hear him moaning, "brains." I put his armless chest in my sites and I took him out. Two more zombies clawed their way out of the ditch, and I let them have it.
The noise of the bullets rang in my ears for a moment, and I screamed as I cleared the world of evil. But when I stopped shooting, there was silence. My friend was gone, the door of the SUV hanging open. He hadn't had a scope on his rifle, either the Leupold Mark 4 ER/T or the Mark 4 MR/T. The extended range scope can give you a good clear shot of zombies up to distances up to 2,000m. They have a front focal plane reticle which stays at a constant size compared to the target at all magnifications. It's got pristine clarity across the entire visual field, even at 25x. The midrange Mark 4 MR/T is good for zombies coming at you anywhere from 50 to 700 meters. But, like I said, Leroy didn't have a scope, he always blathered on about how he had the "eyes of a falcon" and so he didn't need one. And the zombies got him. I wondered how they liked the taste of his eyeballs.
It's not easy living in the last days of a zombie plague. Things like chocolate chip cookies, sunrises, and my Leupold Mark 4 rifle scope, keep me from the clutches of all my zombie friends.
