Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo was arrested a couple of days before Christmas on driving under the influence charges. As a few details have come out, the story as grown more interesting. Crapo is a Mormon who has publicly stated that he does not drink alcohol. The public now knows that is not true.
Del Ray Patch summarized the incident involving his arrest.
Upon encountering the driver, identified as Michael Dean Crapo with an address in Washington, DC's Capitol Hill neighborhood, the officer detected a strong odor of alcohol on Crapo's breath "which became stronger as he spoke," according to the criminal complaint. The officer wrote that the driver exhibited slurred speech and described the driver's eyes as "bloodshot and watery."
"The driver indicated that he consumed several shots of vodka hours earlier and did not consume any more alcoholic beverages since," the officer wrote in the report.
The driver failed to complete several sobriety tests. He was then offered and agreed to take a preliminary breath test. The breath test showed the driver had a blood alcohol content level of 0.11. The legal limit in Virginia is 0.08.
The Idaho Stateman said that Crapo's actions were worse than former Idaho Sen. Larry Craig's toe tapping in a bathroom stall because Crapo could have killed himself or someone else. That's true. It is also true that he should be given a second chance and not driven from the Senate. However, no one should have delusions that this was the first time Crapo took a drink.
Crapo has worn his Mormon religion publicly, but that is no surprise in Idaho with its strong Mormon presence. He has also publicly stated that he does not drink alcohol.
Is that a whopper of a lie that he should disqualify him from the Senate? Nope. That is between him, his god and his constituents.
This isn't the same level of hypocrisy as social conservative public officials who decry the immorality of gays only later to be caught in bed with a member of the same sex. Although Crapo is stridently anti-gay, he has not advocated a return to prohibition. He even pushed legislation to cut taxes on small brewers, citing his pro-business philosophy on that. He promised to celebrate by drinking root beer.
While there are a lot of issues that Crapo could be more tolerate of involving other people's lifestyles, this particular issue is not one of them. We need more Congressmembers who aren't trying to impose their personal values on others. Crapo can learn from this and apply it to other issues. However, that is not likely.
The initial report that Crapo had a blood alcohol level of .11, which is slightly above the legal limit of .08, could have resulted from someone unfamiliar with alcohol drinking a bit too much and not understanding his capacity to operate a vehicle. Nevertheless, it is now clear that alcohol is not quite the unfamiliar substance that Crapo wants the public to believe it is to him. The police report revealed one particularly striking statement. The report stated that Crapo "consumed several shots of vodka hours earlier."
First of all, drinking shots of vodka is something expected in a college dorm, not from a Mormon Senator. This isn't the behavior of a first time or even occasional drinker. This is some hardcore drinking. Crapo also had the sense to realize that he needed to stop drinking for a few hours so he could be sober. That sounds like someone who has had the experience of downing a few glasses over time. If he waited a few hours before driving, then his alcohol level was much higher than .11 when he was imbibing. This isn't trying a glass of wine, beer or even a mixed drink on a special occasion. This sounds like a pounding the counter and demanding another one type of splurge.
That means Crapo does have some explaining to do. He can't ride on his clean-cut image anymore. In a way that is comforting. The dangerous elected officials are those who think they are infallible or morally superior and try to impose legislation on how others should live. Crapo has an opportunity to show that he is not one of those legislators now.
Crapo isn't going to experience an epiphany and suddenly change his positions on gay rights and marijuana. Yet if he can become just a bit more moderate on some personal lifestyles issues, that would be noteworthy. Let's not forget that he is from one of the most conservative states in the country. Many of his constituents do want to impose their values on others. Maybe, just maybe, this will make Crapo a little less likely to do the same.
The alternative is to have someone else become senator. From the political makeup in Idaho, there is the likelihood of someone a lot worse than Crapo representing Idaho in the U.S. Senate.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Apple, Cell Phones, CES, CES 2014, Videos
I've got a lot of love for Mophie and its line of Juice Pack and Powerstation charging devices for smartphones, tablets, and pretty much anything that charges over USB. I've owned them since the original was released for the iPhone 3G way back when. Now, the company is looking to expand into new territory with the Mophie Space Pack. The Space Pack is a battery case for the iPhone that also incorporates built-in storage, allowing users of the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s expand the overall storage capacity of their devices. Available soon in 16GB and 32GB variants, users will be able to store any type of file on the Space Pack, including iTunes content, photos, and videos, all managed through the Mophie Space app. The 16GB model will sell for $149, while the 32GB version will be $179. Both are available for pre-order today, and begin shipping on March 14, 2014.
Check out a video demo of how it works after the break.

- Flash on iPhone is just around the corner: This five-year-old article made it's way back after being linked to by John Gruber of Daring Fireball.

Also, John, why couldn't you have linked to when we broke what was the biggest Apple software leak of the decade?
- Mod your Xbox without a mod chip: This is an all-time favorite of our readers. It dropped out of the top 10 last year, but has reappeared for 2013.

Fitbit Force fitness band features iPhone call notifications
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Wearables, Wireless / WiFi
The Fitbit Force is a new fitness tracking wristband from the company that started this whole quantified self fitness gadget craze. About half a year ago, Fitbit launched its first fitness tracking wristband, the Flex, which was a little feature-barren when compared to its other offerings. The Force changes that, as it does everything that any other Fitbit can do, plus more. That means that it will keep track of your steps, distance traveled, how many minutes you were active, how many floors you've climbed, how well (and how long) you are sleeping, and even call notifications from your iPhone, as long as yo are running iOS 7 on an iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, or iPhone 5s--that last feature will be introduced soon through a software update.
The Fitbit Force should last for about 7-10 days on a charge, thanks to its Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy profile and low-powered OLED display. You can order it now in one of two colors (black and slate blue) for $129.95.

MA – Romeo & Juliet Signing

Filed under Comic Books, Massachusetts, Signing and Appearance Profiles
Gareth Hinds signs at Porter Square Books on Saturday September 28th at 7:00 pm.
Press Release:
Join us for the book launch of Gareth Hinds' latest graphic novel adaptation, Romeo and Juliet.
Gareth Hinds's stylish graphic adaptation of the Bard's romantic tragedy offers modern touches — including a diverse cast that underscores the story's universality.
She's a Capulet. He's a Montague. But when Romeo and Juliet first meet, they don't know they're from rival families — and when they find out, they don't care. Their love is honest and raw and all-consuming. But it's also dangerous. How much will they have to sacrifice before they can be together? In a masterful adaptation faithful to Shakespeare's original text, Gareth Hinds transports readers to the sun-washed streets and market squares of Shakespeare's Verona, vividly bringing the classic play to life on the printed page.
Gareth Hinds is the acclaimed creator of the graphic novels The Odyssey, Beowulf, The Merchant of Venice, and King Lear. About Romeo and Juliet, he says, "The gold standard for romantic tragedy, this play features some of the most brilliant rhymed verse ever written. It was a joy to work with the text and spend time with these characters. And I had a great time drawing the sword fights!" Gareth Hinds lives in New York.

MA – Wards of Faerie Signing
July 30, 2012 by Colin Solan
Filed under Massachusetts, Other, Science Fiction and Fantasy, Signing and Appearance Profiles
Author Terry Brooks signs at Porter Square Books on Tuesday August 21, 2012 at 7:00 pm.
Press Release:
Seven years after the conclusion of the High Druid of Shannara trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks at last revisits one of the most popular eras in the legendary epic fantasy series that has spellbound readers for more than three decades.
When the world was young, and its name was Faerie, the power of magic ruled—and the Elfstones warded the race of Elves and their lands, keeping evil at bay. But when an Elven girl fell hopelessly in love with a Darkling boy of the Void, he carried away more than her heart.
Thousands of years later, tumultuous times are upon the world now known as the Four Lands. Users of magic are in conflict with proponents of science. Elves have distanced their society from the other races. The dwindling Druid order and its teachings are threatened with extinction. A sinister politician has used treachery and murder to rise as prime minister of the mighty Federation. Meanwhile, poring through a long-forgotten diary, the young Druid Aphenglow Elessedil has stumbled upon the secret account of an Elven girl's heartbreak and the shocking truth about the vanished Elfstones. But never has a little knowledge been so very dangerous—as Aphenglow quickly learns when she's set upon by assassins.
Yet there can be no turning back from the road to which fate has steered her. For whoever captures the Elfstones and their untold powers will surely hold the advantage in the devastating clash to come. But Aphenglow and her allies—Druids, Elves, and humans alike—remember the monstrous history of the Demon War, and they know that the Four Lands will never survive another reign of darkness. But whether they themselves can survive the attempt to stem that tide is another question entirely.
Terry Brooks is the New York Times bestselling author of more than thirty books, including the Dark Legacy of Shannara adventure Wards of Faerie; the Legends of Shannara novels Bearers of the Black Staff and The Measure of the Magic; the Genesis of Shannara trilogy: Armageddon's Children, The Elves of Cintra, and The Gypsy Morph; The Sword of Shannara; the Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy: Ilse Witch, Antrax, and Morgawr; the High Druid of Shannara trilogy: Jarka Ruus, Tanequil, and Straken; and the nonfiction book Sometimes the Magic Works: Lessons from a Writing Life. His novels Running with the Demon and A Knight of the Word were selected by the Rocky Mountain News as two of the best science fiction/fantasy novels of the twentieth century. The author was a practicing attorney for many years but now writes full-time. He lives with his wife, Judine, in the Pacific Northwest.

Henry Winkler signs on June 4th from 3-5pm at Porter Square Books! He will sign his new book I've Never Met an Idiot on the River: Reflections on Family, Fishing, and Photography
A veteran of showbiz and television legend, Winkler's paramount pastime has always been fishing. A novel volume to live by, or at least learn something about dry flies and woolly buggers, I've Never Meet an Idiot on the River is Winkler's collection of everyday wisdom learned from fatherhood, family, and fly-fishing.
Winkler is an actor, producer, director, and author. He is probably best known for his role as the Fonz in the 1970s U.S. television sitcom Happy Days. His fishing exploits have been featured on Fly Fishing the World and he regularly recounts them during his speaking engagements around the country. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Stacey, their three children, and two dogs.

U.S. attorney Bradley Schlozman is returning to the Justice Department to be an "attorney in the Counsel to the Director staff at the Executive Office for United States Attorneys." Before being rewarded with the U.S. attorney job, Schlozman served in the Justice Department's civil rights division. In 2005, he reversed the career staff's recommendations to challenge a Georgia photo-ID law that a federal judge later likened to a "modern-day poll tax."

SO this 50's cut dress caught my attention too. This is also by Givenchy. Though it is quite modest, I really love the print mixed with a modern throwback cut.
Givenchy developed this amazing dress. I have no idea why I like it so much, but I do. It made an impression on me for sure. Maybe its the sexiness of the transparent slips of fabric.
…And the backs!!

Seth Godin blogs…
Whatever your website, I think you want better traffic, not more traffic.
You want to figure out why the right people will come, not build a sideshow that attracts exactly the wrong people.
At trade shows, there's always a few booths with magicians, fire-eaters or bikini-clad models. And post-show, there's no evidence at all to indicate that the noisy attractions did very much to improve the actual metrics of the booth.
So, maybe it doesn't matter how your site does compared to a site in a different category. What matters, I think, is how your site does compared to last week or last month, and what's happening to your conversion. Read Seth's entire post.
Agreed. We've been talking about his for quite a while.
Assuming your site's conversion rate is on par with the industry average(around 2%) be careful not to come to the conclusion that 98-97% of the traffic is the wrong people just because they don't convert. Don't run out willy nilly and try to find the 'right traffic'. Most of that good traffic might be right beneath your sniffer now. No matter how much of the 'right traffic' you have, your sight has to be just as right to make sure that 'quality' traffic gets the information they need, the way they need it.
It's not just quality of traffic, and like Seth points out, it's the quality of their experience with you and your brand. The quality of your persuasion scenario planning is what bridges the gap between you and your traffic's potential.
We've spent a few words in some recent ClickZ articles talking about persuasion scenarios. Start with this article, then read this, and finally this.

This is the 4th year I've stayed here. The apartments have changed over the years and looks great for it. The staff are great and I don't want to stay at any other complex but it's getting harder to find an operator that can cater for my needs.
The evening entertainment is varied and caters for all ages. The apartments are centrally situated for easy access to the the strip, local shops and restaurants and only a short drive to Albufeira old town for shopping.
Next year hopefully the bus they have advertised will be running, which would cut out the cost of taxis. If you don't mind the walk you can reach the old by following either the beach or going as the crow flies via main roads.

|Peter and I stayed here for 15 nights and had a very good experience. It was only 5 minutes from the beach, and only 5 minutes from the strip. We went to the restaurant and it was excellent. We also we went to the bar for the karaoke and I was listening to a girl singing behind the bar. She was excellent, so I asked her to get up and sing. She did and she made our night, we had such a laugh with her. Carla, we will be back to hear you sing!!

Online Exclusive - Ritz-Carlton ViennaJul 17, 2013
The resulting building's locale on the Vienna Ringstrasse provided a perfect source of inspiration, where the boulevard's rings, foliage, and equine tradition reappear in the interior. "On the inner ring road, the bourgeoisie reside and wondering around in stately carriages or on horseback," explains Silling. "This historical past is reflected in the modern design language and referenced in the artwork and other design features." For instance, the paintings in the lobby and Distrikt restaurant's undulating feature ceiling recall the nearby Spanish Riding School as well as the ring road.
With a natural color palette, bronze-colored fluted columns, and large paintings of horses, the lobby ties in the road's trees and the local park with a contemporary twist. "This enables the guest to get a first impression of the design of the hotel, which ranges from colorful historical stairways to the state-of-the-art crystal hall," says Silling.
True to its name, the Crystal ballroom glimmers with five tons of crystal on two glazed walls, which stand at either end of the room. The other walls are adorned with a stretched silk covering. "This unique opulence is a playful hint to the past, to an era when ball gowns and diamond necklaces were a daily occurrence," says Silling.
This lavishness extends to the guestrooms, where original, floor-to-ceiling paintings mix with walnut finished walls and white marble bathrooms⎯⎯and in some rooms, a mezzanine. "These imposing double height spaces with large windows provide an impressive view of the palaces," comments Silling.
Among these luxurious rooms is the Presidential suite. With the craftsmanship of the listed areas, the wall paneling and ceiling frescoes evoke the luxury of the previous palace. "The suite showcases the overall design concept for the hotela harmonious interplay of old and new, just like the Viennese Waltz, lively and full of energy and elegance," says Silling. The frescoes and carvings are framed with subtle modern design classics for a contemporary touch. "The result speaks for itself⎯⎯a classical historic ambiance with a state-of-the-art fit out," Silling adds.
The hotel's history emerges again with the gold and green-toned wool rugs and champagne-colored fabrics of the lobby lounge, Melounge. A handpainted fresco with gilded ornamental patterns adorns the ceiling above. "The different areas have their own signature design," says Silling. The 10zehn bar and the rooftop terrace contrast the historical influences with a low light atmosphere highlighted by red accents.
"The biggest challenge was to stay focused on the design and not to get sidetracked by the marvelous architectural details of the building," says Silling. "Despite these challenges, the convincing result makes this project one of my favorites."

New Years Eve day, the Philadelphia Flyers legends hosted the New York Rangers legends at Citizens Bank Park, in Philadelphia. The game was a raucous affair that saw the Flyers take the win 3-1, but it wasn't about who won or lost, it was about the names of the players on the ice.
Over 41 years of NHL hockey was represented by the two teams, Hall-of-famers, Stanley Cup winners, Hart Trophy winners, Selke Trophy winners and perennial All-Stars during their playing days skated across the ice, some for the first time is 30-40 years. The moves weren't always there, and the speed had diminished, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm.
Each player was announced individually. Chris Therien stepped out wearing shades. Orest Kindrachuk wore a fake mustache and wig, reminiscent from his days with the Flyers in the 1970s. Ken Linsemen wore sports goggles. And Jeremy Roenick walked to the ice with his arm around a young man escorting him. Each Flyer player from the past received an ovation from the crowd.
The ceremonious opening face-off came between Bobby Clarke (1969-1984) and Mark Messier (1979-2004), two greats of the game from different times. The starting lineup for the Flyers included the LCB line of Reggie Leach, Flyers's all-time leading goal scorer, Clarke and Bill Barbor, who averaged 40-50 goals a season as a Flyer. Starting on defense was recent hall-of-fame inductee Mark Howe and Adirondack Phantoms coach and former Flyer Kjell Samuelsson. And the net was minded by none other than Bernie Parent, the most famous Flyer goaltender in history.
Parent remained in net for the opening 4:50, and yielded no goals, including a big stop on a breakaway, and another play where he had to stack the pads. The Flyers most famous goaltender played with his original pads, and a new mask. After being replaced by Mark LaForest, in net, he circled back and raised his stick to the crowd, who cheered for their hero one last time. It was an electic moment, and likely the last time, the 68-year-old Parent will ever strap on the pads.
The biggest impact of the first period came from the partial Legion of Doom line of former Hart Trophy winner Eric Lindros and John LeClair, a 50-goal scorer as a Flyer, plus Mark Recchi, who became a three time Stanley Cup winner for the Boston Bruins last season. The three set up the opening goal of the game off of a pass from Lindros to LeClair that looked strangely like their 1990's prime years.
The second goal of the night came from Shjon Podein assisted by two former Flyer captains, Rick Tocchet and Dave Poulin.
When asked about the game, Podein, who missed a penalty shot but later scored, said, "It's always fun to be out there playing with the guys."
The second period saw two penalty shots misssed, one by each team, and the Rangers got themselves on the board on a shot by Glenn Anderson, a big goal scorer in his prime with the Edmonton Oilers, where twice he scored 54-goals in a season. The goal was assisted by Darius Kasparitis, public enemy number one in Philadelphia when he played for the Rangers and Penguins from 1996-2007, and Messier.
In the third period, Howe, on a penalty shot, scored to make it 3-1, with a laser over the shoulder of Dan Blackburn, who had been a promising goaltender before his career was cut short by nerve damage. Blackburn, 28, could still be playing in the NHL had it not been for the injury.
In the end, the home team Flyers won 3-1 in front of a crowd of 44,808 screaming fans.
When asked about the number of people who came out for the alumni game, Bill Barber said, "It's awesome. Nothing more can be said."
Bill Barber went on to comment about how it's a privelege to wear the orange and black, again.
Podein, a defensive winger while with the Flyers from 1994-1999 agreed, "When you put on this sweater, there is a lot of pride in it."
The game was an amazing display of the legends of both the Flyers and Rangers. There were a few slashes, and a few shoulders, but nothing but smiles were seen on the ice.
Legendary Flyers centerman Clarke, who turned 62 this year, said, "The next time the Flyers play one of these, and they have an alumni game, I won't be in it."
