Scott Blair shouldn't be blamed for Georgia Tech's 42-34 loss to Georgia on Saturday, according to coach Paul Johnson.
Though Blair missed a point-after attempt that would have tied the game at 35 with 4:57 remaining in the game, Johnson said, "don't put that on that kid.
"Scott Blair has won a lot of games for us."
The miss, which sailed to the left, snapped the senior's streak of 77 consecutive point-after attempts made and gave the Bulldogs a one-point lead with minutes remaining.
After the miss, Johnson said that he told Blair he was going to get a chance to win it with a field goal.
He didn't get the opportunity.
Blair's teammates said they don't put the loss on Blair's right foot.
"Scott's been a dependable kicker for us," B-back Anthony Allen said.
Blair was having an all-ACC type season this year. In addition to his PAT streak, he has made 15-of-17 field-goal attempts this season, including eight longer than 40 yards.
"He's someone who is very to root for," center Sean Bedford said. "When he's having that is going well as this year has, you just want to see it continue to succeed. I think everybody felt that way."

I blame him.

no blame here, Anthony Allen was awesome..Blair helped GT beat Clemson twice in 09 to win an ACC title…Tevin did all he could…glad there is a bowl game and a chance for Nesbitt to get to play one more time, I for one hope it is in San Francisco

I wish you guys could've taken advantage of the stupidity of our coaches. If you had, we would be rid of at least one of them. Absolutely no chest thumping from this bulldawg.
November 28th, 2010
12:35 am
no reason whatsoever to blame Blair. THUGa would have still had plenty of time to score again, WITHOUT us just letting them to save time on the clock. The blame, if you want to call it that, must go to the two fumbles in red zone which took away 14 points.
November 28th, 2010

Missed kick, interception, missed starting QB, whaterver… it was bound to end in a loss and everyone knows it. Dont kill a kid that missed a kick. Couldn't catch EVERY break. Dogs usually win, just a fact.
November 28th, 2010
12:40 am
Tech lost; can't make any excuses. BUT I don't think the mutts (especially their fans) had a clue that it would be that difficult for them. Sadly, I don't think many Tech fans thought that either.
November 28th, 2010
12:40 am
oh yeah, come and get that super size order of fries…some orders get 34 and some get 42. Good luck to you. May I take your order?
November 28th, 2010
12:41 am
Would have loved to oblige you, Bali…but it was not to be.
I really am surprised that Shannon is getting fired, but Richt will remain.
November 28th, 2010
12:42 am
Why would another school want Richt for a coach? From what I have read online all year, most mutts don't want him either.
November 28th, 2010
12:45 am
That is not what I meant..I meant if Shannon is getting fired for wasting the talent he had at da U, then Richt should see the door also for wasting it at UGAG.
November 28th, 2010
12:48 am
I don't blame Scott. I knew that he would choke and told him he would. That is why we didn't even bother to try and block the kick.
November 28th, 2010
12:51 am
I wonder what play Tech was trying to run there at the (next) to last?
It appeared to be two busted plays? It seemed like deja vu all over again….Tech with the ball and a chance to win….
Does anyone hate fumbles as much as I?
November 28th, 2010
12:52 am
And I thank him..
November 28th, 2010
12:52 am
Scott is a loser. If he had done his job we would have beat UGA.
November 28th, 2010
12:52 am
42-34!!! How does it feel to lose to a bad 5-6 team? Your team suck. 365 days of misery for you bugs.
November 28th, 2010
12:55 am
I don't blame him. We had 4 turnovers and UGA had 28 points off of those turnovers. Not to mention we had the ball with a good chance to win with 2 minutes left. To blame it it all on one missed extra point is a little silly.
November 28th, 2010
12:57 am
Tech Alum, we still had the opportunity to beat them even with the missed extra point. Surely you don't think the mutts wouldn't have scored again if he had made it. That one point didn't really make much of a difference at all.
November 28th, 2010
1:00 am
Hey super size…what about our four turnovers which "took away" 28 points. You moron…make all the excuses you want but Tech lost. $h1t happened to both teams. It will be a painful 365 days. 9 of 10
November 28th, 2010
1:04 am
Simon's Saint, I wasn't making excuses. I was just stating facts. And the only thing painful about the next 365 days will be listening to the comments of ignorant rednecks like you. The sad thing is, even if Tech had won, you ignoramuses would still be spouting s**t, whining and making excuses like you always do.
November 28th, 2010
1:09 am
The PROBLEM is Al Groh is too old and stubborn to change…..And Paul Johnson is too old and stubborn to fire him.
It's hard to have a winning season when you have to score 45 pts EVERY GAME just to have a chance to win. So get used to gut-wrenching losses by a defense that always seems to give up the big play multiple times a game BECAUSE they're trying to be in the right place at the right time in some convoluted defense instead of just playing a standard 4-3 like they've played since they were 6 yrs old.
The DEFENSE is problem #1….
The SPECIAL TEAMS play is problem #2…..
The UNFORCED TURNOVERS are problem #3…..
It's not Blair's fault……But there are some Asst. Coaches that should be REPLACED simply because the same problems at the beginning of the year are STILL the same problems at the end of the year.
See if Paul Johnson holds any coaches accountable and you'll see whether or not this program moves forward or stays stuck in neutral…..Both of these programs played a pathetic excuse for a football game tonight. [PUKE......PUKE]
November 28th, 2010
1:09 am
Awww, I see you are so ticked right now you pathetic bug. You've been squashed two years in a row and dreams dashed nine of the last ten years and all you can console yourself with is the "would have, could have" excuses. Go run home to mommy, now.
November 28th, 2010
1:11 am
I have no problems with Groh; he could only do so much with the talent that he inherited. I give him another year, maybe two. I agree though that Johnson needs to do something about some of his other coaches, ESPECIALLY the special teams coach, if there even is one..
November 28th, 2010
1:12 am
Simon's Saint, THUGa hasn't "squashed" Tech since Gailey's first year. 3, 4, or 8 point losses are as hard to take as any loss, but they are definitely not squashings.
November 28th, 2010
1:14 am
…and super size, who's spouting s**t and whining right now? That's what I thought.
November 28th, 2010
1:16 am
If it makes you feel better, supersize. Fact is this…42-34, 9 of 10. Good night.
November 28th, 2010
1:17 am
Simon's Saint, I am not whining in the least. Tech lost; nothing more needs to be said. Certain things happened (as in ALL games) that could have made a difference. But we lost. It's you mutt fans who always make excuses or whine or try to find ways to negate a win (vis a vis the two games Tech won during WWII). Nobody else in the entire country disputes those wins, or the wins by any other school in the country using military athletes. THUGa stands alone in trying to claim that those two games don't count. That kind of behavior has gone on ever since whenever the mutts lose a game. You always try to find a reason not to count it.
November 28th, 2010
1:19 am
We put up 500+ yards on the leg-humpers with a back up quarter back. Your 5 and 6 team with all that talent does suck. We fumbled this one away. Simons congratulations on the win. It feels bad but people like you make me feel worse (for the human race.)
November 28th, 2010
1:22 am
Yes, please console yourself with historical data. You may want to suck on a pacifier while you type. Stage is yours
November 28th, 2010

Only pointing out to you the typical behavior of mutt fans.
November 28th, 2010

His job is to make extra points, no excuses, he blew it, just another choke by tech….
November 28th, 2010
1:29 am
Come on, nerds. Let's hear the whining!!! Excuses, excuses, excuses… We OWN your self-congratulatory asses, so get over it!
November 28th, 2010
1:34 am
We got our first sack in the past THREE games tonight. The D players are constantly out of position and appear "confused" about who is doing what and covering who and then — BAM — big play, score 6! A 10-15 yd dump over the middle becomes a 70 yd TD…..A run to the outside that should be a 5 yd gain at most becomes a breakaway TD run…..And I for one am just tired of it.
At some point you have to take a reality pill and just see it for what it is….The Groh system didn't work this year. Why do we have to wait another 2 or 3 years to see IF it works with "his" players? Grantham's 3-4 experiment is just a horrendous as ours! It's WHY both of these teams are 6-6 and nothing to be proud of.
There is such a difference between watching the 08 game between the hedges when offensive players on both sides were making absolutely incredible plays when they needed to and it was a shootout to see who was left standing at the end. This game was like watching high school teams who don't know how to protect the ball on offense, can't do much right on special teams and feel like they got a moral victory by holding the opponent to less than 50 pts!
Am I the only one wearing White & Old Gold who knows Bostic is going to go straight up the middle on every return? I almost threw my remote at our plasma whenever he caught the ball and started straight up the middle EVERY TIME, even running into his own player's back once because he seemingly has no idea he can also run towards the sideline. Absolutely PATHETIC COACHING.
November 28th, 2010
1:42 am
I think maybe getting Scott into the ballgame and KICKING THAT FIELD GOAL in the first quarter instead of going for it on 4th and two, might have got him settled down. I know going for it and making it can change when you are driving. But NOT making it sometimes can kill it too.
November 28th, 2010
1:43 am
The funny thing is that all of the Dawg fans on here bragging about their 1 pt win tonight lack the ability to see that their own program has sunk to the same depths of mediocrity as ours. And their inability to get angry and demand changes means there won't be much difference in their disappointing season this year and their disappointing season next year. Their signature win is beating GT now and I remember when the bar was set much higher……Only an ignorant GT or UGA fan would find anything about tonight's game that's worth celebrating. It's a sad day for football in this state.
November 28th, 2010

First Reggie Ball, now Scott Blair. I like these two Tech players. Face the facts, Dogs rule again. Good night !!!!!!!!!
November 28th, 2010
1:49 am
OK, its time to write a little book, based on everything i've seen on all of the ajc blogs over the past few weeks, just to cover some things I need to point out…
First, and foremost, congratulations to the Georgia Bulldogs on their victory tonight. It was a hard fought game, and they now also have the opportunity to go to a bowl game, plus gain the extra practices inbetween now and bowl time to assist them going into next year.
Secondly, to all of the bloggers who have been calling for a coaches head/dismissal…..shut up. Seriously. For Grantham and Al Groh, they are both first year coordinators at their respective schools who implemented a completely new defensive scheme, using players they had no input in recruiting and who were not recruited for the 3-4 scheme. They did the best with what they had. Calling it, thier respective hirings, a mistake is simple stupidity. For heavens sake, give them some time. Both defenses will be MUCH improved next year, and even more in 2012. If thats not the case, then start calling for thier heads. For those calling for CMR's head….wow. Look what the man has done with your program the last, what is it now, 9 years? How many 10 win seasons? How many SEC championships? How many BCS bowls? He has earned the right to fix his teams faults, atleast another year, maybe two. But guess what….even after a 6-6 season, he is on the top of the lists at Colorado and Miami…and I wouldnt blame him for leaving because his fanbase has such SHORT memories and wants his head. Please keep in mind I am a DIEHARD tech fan, and the man is 9-1 against my team. Now, for those who wish CPJ was never hired, diss his offense, and every other negative thing that has been said….know what, go root for someone else. Bandwagon morons. His "high school" offense, that for 3 years now everyone was going to figure out and stop, leads the nation in rushing. It continues to work. It continues to get better. It put up 400 yards of rushing against UGA tonight, who was supposed to "completely" dominate our offensive line. Its the #1 rushing offense regardless of the fact that we have been without our starting QB for 3 games now, and has used 6 or 7 different O line combinations this year due to injuries. Wanna make fun of the passing game? Go ahead…first look at how many drops our recievers have had this year. People are on the blogs bashing CPJ saying he blames the players for everything and takes no responsibilty for anything…when he DEFENDED his kicker and has done so for his players all year, saying more than once there were obvious coaching errors that needed to be corrected. Any coach is going to talk about mental errors and fumbles and lack of intensity and drive, and he has every right to do so this year….because Techs worst enemy this year has been themselves, over and over and over again. Tonight was no different.

For everyone, from Bradley to bloggers, who keep belittling GT's recruiting, who say there is such a talent gap, who says that CPJ won only with Gailey's players and cannot recruit quality players to get us back to and keep us at championship levels, who complain that our classes are ranked so low….lets settle some facts. ESPN, Rivals, Scout.com, all use a score to determine a players value, if not the 2-3-4-5 star system. The final class ranking are mostly made up based on how many of the top 150 players a particular team signs, how many 4 and 5 star players a team gets.Go look at ESPN, and Rivals for that matter, and look at Georgia's past 2 years classes, and the class they are putting together for this year(5 ESPN 150 commits), the majority scored at or above 75. Then go look at Techs. Two 4 star players, 12 players scored at 75 or higher. Last year, it was three 4 star players, 15 players scored at 75 or above. 2009, it was 19 players scored at 75 or higher. (Georgia, btw, had 19 players above 75 in 09, 15 for 2010, and 15 for this upcoming class). SO, not that big of a difference, except for the few players ranked in the top 150 that gives UGA such highly rated classes. Now, UGA fans, please dont think I am trying to belittle your recruiting, I'm not, I am complimenting it highly. I am simply stating the fact that Tech is not recruiting one or two star players like I have read so often, CPJ's recruiting is EXCELLENT and he will continue to do so. His teams will get better and continue to be competitive. All of the recruits for both sides at the game tonight had to have been impressed with both teams, especially at the opportunties to contribute immediately to both teams.
November 28th, 2010
1:53 am
Great game for the ages, yes Ugag won, congrats, but UF still beat you this year. I don't care who is playing a game, you can't win a serious game when you turn the ball over 5 times. Tech has NO pass rush on D-line, and it shows. Murray had all day to throw.
November 28th, 2010

paul johnson should be arrested for this performance
November 28th, 2010
2:04 am
not a good game but it was a contest between two teams which are not very good…..winning is always better than losing, though…..a serious question…do GT fans still think CPJ will dominate the series in the future like they did after 2008? As a UGA fan, these two teams were the worst we've had since CMR was here (next year will probably be another mediocre team) but UGA still beats GT…..Does losing to UGA become a mental think like it does with UGA and Florida?
November 28th, 2010
2:15 am
What is the big deal? Another win against Tech. I mean Really? Same old same!
November 28th, 2010
2:34 am
i liked pj's call at the end. if we had a coach as smart as paul we would've taken a knee upon reaching the first down marker. instead we scored giving you almost two minutes to make it to the end zone. sure you didn't. but you didn't have nesbitt. getting the first down and downing it after your last time out= georgia win. take care tech fans. poor coaching will catch up with the dawgs sooner or later.
November 28th, 2010
2:46 am
i m loving the excuses. it was a damn good game. tech fans dont forget that UGA had 3 or 4 turnovers as well, two in the red zone, it could of been worse. don't blame the kicker you had a chance to win it and a chance to tie it but yall can't pass worth a damn. good game. 9 of 10.
November 28th, 2010
2:46 am
I think PJ missed the kick on purpose, because he knew UGA would go ultra conservative and try to protect a one point lead. He knew how predictable Richt and Bobo are. This is from a UGA fan…Also PJ did outcoach Richt today, however I feel that both coaches best days are behind them.
November 28th, 2010
2:49 am
hey bulldawg, downing the ball had nothing to with the coaches when ealey scored. ealey should known to do that but the rule is, if you have a chance to score, you score. so i can really blame the kid
November 28th, 2010
2:53 am
OK Simple Techster, let's have a look-see at what the GT OFFENSE did accomplish tonight (which I believe says quite a bit about Grantham's failure of a defense):
… Tech's 32 first downs were its most in a game since Nov. 9, 2000 vs. Virginia (34)
… Tech's 26 first downs via rushing were its most in at least 30 years
… Tech's 512 yards of total offense were its most vs. Georgia since 1999
… Tech's 92 offensive plays were its most since Nov. 9, 2000 vs. Virginia (94)
… Tech rushed for 400-plus yards in a game for the eighth time under Paul Johnson
… Tech's 77 rushing attempts were its most in at least 30 years
… Tech's time of possession (38:14) was a season high
Yet we still failed to score more points than UGA. And the best defense you have to offer for the GT defense is Groh "did the best with what he had"…..LOL. Let's hope CPJ isn't as forgiving and "simple" as you and does show Al Groh the exit door. This defense couldn't stop KANSAS or DUKE for goodness sake, and it's NOT for a lack of talent.
GT and UGA both have talented players on defense, but neither has the NOSE TACKLE necessary to make the 3-4 work. Without an effective nose tackle, the 3-4 is simply DOOMED. The fact that Al Groh and Grantham BOTH knew this, yet they continuously tried to do something all season that they KNEW was impossible means they are both frauds.
I have no tolerance for frauds, and lately GT has them in spades in the coaching staffs. Start with Paul Hewitt….Mix in some Al Groh….Pick some more asst football coaches (since so many failed this year there are plenty to choose from).
When a coach doesn't have the personnel — for whatever reason — to implement "his" style of defense, then he has a responsibility to CHANGE the scheme to best utilize the players available. Show me where either Groh or Grantham did that during this season…..You can't. That's WHY they're frauds and they both should be FIRED. Surely you're not too simple to get that, are you Simple Techster?
November 28th, 2010
3:12 am
I am the Commissioner of the ACC. My conference is one of the worst in the country. GTU sucks and cannot beat a 5-6 UGA team. Tech has lost 9 of the last 10 to UGA and hasn't won a bowl game in 5 years. UGA tried to give Tech the game tonight and "Turkey Neck" Johnson could not do anything with it. What a bad league I lead. We should get our automatic BCS bid pulled.
SUCK IT JACKETS!!!!! THERE ARE NO MORAL VICTORIES. 9 of the last 10. I thought "Turkey Neck" Johnson was the new Sheriff. He is not a very good Sheriff at 1-2.
November 28th, 2010
4:32 am
OK I hate to LET ALL YOU LEGHUMPERS DOWN but this was the last time for a while you guys will win.
Why ?
Tech is finally done with Butler and Edwards, those two alone have been involved in at least 2 busted, out of position, shoulder high tackle attempts per game or blown coverages each game, tonight was no different. King deeked Edwards out of his jock on one TD run and Butler was the one beat on the pass to your TE. 14 points attributed to two tech "defenders"
Now we can replace them with Ayers and Johnson–two highly recruited corners that CPJ convinced to come to Tech although they were heavily recruited by you guys.
Tech has been able to build depth under CPJ.
While everyone talks down CPJ, pointing out that he won with Gaileys players, they fail to understand that his 2nd recruting class is just now playing. Players who have been on the field sparingly or who have been red shirted will be playing in the system they were recruited for next year, some of them were players you guys wanted.
Orwin Smith, Isaiah Johnson, Emory Peoples, and Ayers will join Roddy Jones, Telvin Washington and a slew of young players who are changing the face of Tech Football. Guess what- Washington can pass the ball too. ( yes he showed his experiance tonight on the final possessions but the pass portion of this high school offense will be something to deal with next year (and you can't stop the run portion of it already).
By the way the 3-4 defense will have better players in it next year—sorry Butler and Edwards but you both combined to lose the Clemson game, Georgia game and several others with your high tackles and lack of aggressiveness.
When a new system in installed it only takes one player to fail in his job, Tech has had 2 failing all year (and I watched every Tech game–I promise one or both gave up big plays in all but one game–plays that DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTED to losses)
I will leave you with this. Tech got beat tonightand Georgia beat them—-who do you think is the closest to putting it together ? I feel good can you mutts say the same ?
6-6 in a rebuilding year–for Tech that is definatley something new
November 28th, 2010
6:21 am
Typical Tech fan, a bunch of logic, absolutely devoid of truth. You got beat by a piss poor UGA squad. Accept it. If you watched every Tech game, you would know that your problems extend to more than 2 people.

I've seen this Obama commercial during the Olympics where he more or less says something along those lines.
Only problem is that he ISN'T "asking" them. He's REQUIRING them under penalty of law to pay a higher percentage of their income to DC.
That's not asking, that's imposing.
It also shows the ultimate fallacy of the income tax. If you accept the principle that government is allowed to tax any part of your income, you actually accept that government owns 100% of our income, and allows you to keep X percentage it decrees to be okay for you to keep.
Hence why the income tax is the most repugnant of all taxes (save for maybe the death tax).

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Too much crust and not enough of that great filling. I would make again, but with less crust.
Apple-Toffee Hand Pies

Very easy prep. Came out kinda small, but very yummy. Our 4 year old was a great help smashing the toffee. In the future I will use a 3.5 inch circle for the top pieces of crust.

I love the Matisse column in the magazine, but I agree with the other review almost verbatim. These were too small to capture the flavor of the the filling. I also had A LOT of filling left over. These actually were fun to make, but the end result was a disappointment for me.

I followed the recipe exactly. The filling was extremely good, but the pies themselves had too much 'bread' and not enough filling. Also, there was a lot of filling left over, after putting ~a Tb per pie, but the size of dough could not support more than that. I think I will try to make these again, but perhaps select a bigger cookie cutter (5"?) so there will be more filling per pie.

Now that the Oscar favorites are simmering down, some new blood is about to hit the multiplexes. And Im not talking about slasher movies. Heres a guide to some of the most notable films heading your way this spring. There are many familiar faces, fun plots and just a few surprises. Full Frontal Steven Soderbergh doesnt waste any time. Fresh off the success from his glossy Oceans 11, the acclaimed director shot Full Frontal in less than three weeks on a budget of a modest $2 million. As if the low production cost wasnt enough to guarantee the films success, Soderbegh has something else up his sleeve: Julia Roberts. Roberts plays a journalist in this sequel to Sex, Lies and Videotape, which features none of the original characters. Shes joined by Blair Underwood (who plays a movie star) and X-Files star David Duchovny. He might need to call in Scully if this one flops. (Mar. 8) Enigma Michael Apteds World War II thriller has been stuck on the shelf since it premiered at Sundance in Jan. 2001, which seems inexplicable, with its impressive cast and behind-the-scenes team. It has already earned strong reviews. Dougray Scott stars as an English math genius hired to break Nazi codes. Hes joined by Oscar nominee Kate Winslet and Gosford Parks Jeremy Northam in a script from Shakespeare in Love scribe Tom Stoppard. Even with its delayed release dates, usually not an encouraging sign from studios, this is one of the seasons most promising arrivals. (Apr. 19) Death to Smoochy Are you sick of Robin Williams yet? Well, even if you are, this is a far cry from Patch Adams. Williams plays a kiddie-show host called Rainbow Randolph, who gets fired and replaced by a Barney knockoff named Smoochy (Edward Norton). Lets just say that Rainbow doesnt take the news well and plots revenge against the rhino. Dark comedy is always a risky sell, but if anyone can pull it off, Williams can. So can director Danny DeVito, who tapped an impressive cast (including Jon Stewart and Being John Malkovichs Catherine Keener) to take down the dinosaur. As long as they dont all join hands and sing, I love you, you love me... (Mar. 29) Ice Age You might as well call it Monsters, Inc. 2. Fox is hoping kids havent gotten enough of cute, furry creatures, and if the preview audiences are any indication, they havent. Ice Age follows a sloth (John Leguizamo), mammoth (Ray Romano) and a tiger (Denis Leary), who journey to help return a baby to its family. Budgeted at a reported $75 million, Foxs main disadvantage is that it doesnt have the Disney name. But its unlikely that will deter kids from going. (Mar. 15) Panic Room Jodie Foster stars in this action thriller, which was plagued with problems from the get-go. For starters, Nicole Kidman was originally set to star, but had to withdraw after her knee injury she suffered making Moulin Rouge wouldnt heal fast enough. Once Foster was on board, she got pregnant and filming was halted briefly. All of that shouldnt affect the finished product, however. Director David Fincher has assembled an impressive cast, which features Jared Leto, Dwight Yoakam and Forest Whitaker as burglars who stalk Foster and her daughter. Luckily, they live in a townhouse with a panic room, complete with video monitors, phones and a steel door. If the movie is anything like the trailer, watch out for a chiller. (Mar. 29) Stolen Summer This is the debut feature of director Pete Jones, who was hired by producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to helm this $1.5 million indie. The making of the film was chronicled on HBOs series Project Greenlight. Even though Jones is a newcomer, hes surrounded by veterans, including Aidan Quinn, Brian Dennehy, and funny lady Bonnie Hunt. And since you should see anything with Hunt in it, give this one a shot. (Mar. 22)

There are moments of genuine noise and terror on singer-songwriter Daughn Gibson's debut solo LP, All Hell, but not of the devil's-horns kind. Instead, the 31-year-old Carlisle, Pennsylvania, resident fashions ghostly, haunting country-ish ballads out of Christian gospel samples and looping audio software while his rich baritone narrates small-town tragedy.
Gibson's affinity for country music-- as well as the genre's cherished storytelling tradition-- began when he started driving trucks for a living nearly a decade ago. "I started listening to country when there was nothing else to listen to on the radio when I was driving," he says. "I started liking the stories, no matter how absurd they sounded. I liked that they were portrayals of people, or scenarios, or nostalgia." To this day, he's still working in the truckin...

Hey all,
Sorry for not getting back sooner... Christmas takes up a lot of time :s.
Martijn, a google analytics plugin is a nice idea. When I get a chance, I will have a look into merging it. What is your problem with the Dashboard link appearing first? It works out of the box for me. Are you using any custom mods that might be throwing it off?
In terms of licensing, my interpretation of the GPL was that if you are redistributing the product, you have to redistribute the source code. If you are using the product to build something else (eg a website) then you don't need to distribute the source code.
In that respect, and in my interpretation, I think GPL does make sense, especially on community products. But saying that, I had no real reason for choosing GPL over BSD. If the license is goign to be a barrier of entry for some people, then I don't mind changing it .
Platypus: Cheers for the feedback .

Mo, This is exactly something I have done in the past (but yours is much better!)
I love this idea. I do share the same thoughts about license. Most people don't use GPL correctly, if you followed it to the letter you would have to distribute the code i believe. BSD is more flexible, and because Silverstripe uses BSD it is always nice when the modules also use BSD as to keep it all the same.
Anyway, nice work! Glad to have another great module to work with.

Hey Mo
Your interpretation of the GPL is close but it includes ALL source code for the entire project (in this case the whole website). If you want people to release improvements to the Dashboard module specifically and are willing to let them to be able to keep the other code on their site to themselves then the LGPL might be a better option.
The BSD license is the best fit simply because Silverstripe and most other modules are BSD licensed.
Up to you of course, don't let me pressure you but I could use this module and contribute changes back if it was LGPL or BSD licensed but can't use it at all if its GPL licensed. I have a lot of commercially licensed and proprietary code that I use in my sites that can't redistribute under the GPL.
Re: Dashboard Module
10 December 2009 at 12:47am
Right, I am sure some (maybe all) ofyou will be happy to know that I have re-licensed under the BSD license Silverstripe is licensed under. It says on their license page that this is a "revised" BSD license, though I cant really see any difference.
I have also release an "official" 0.5 version, which includes the modular functionality and some compatibility tweaks for Silverstripe 2.4.
Next realase, I will try and add the Google Analytics plugin, and maybe tweek the default setup, so most plugins are "opt in", rather than "opt out".
Also, I think this will be the last release through sourceforge. I find there servers to be very slow, and so am moving over to Assembla for my open source projects (http://www.assembla.com/)

Martijn, looking at your plugin, googles connection class is reliant on it is reliant on CURL. I do not believe CURL is a default PHP library? If I integrate it will this be a potential issue?

TEAMS: Brooklyn Nets, Cleveland Cavaliers, Dallas Mavericks, New York Knicks, Boston Celtics
Former Celtic Jason Terry spoke with Newsday's Dan Duggan today, and revealed that he plans on getting a new tattoo that reads "BK All Day" that he will reveal on opening night: Terry intends to have "BK All Day" inked somewhere on his body. The location and design won't be unveiled until Oct. 30 when the Nets open their highly anticipated season at the Cleveland Cavaliers. As you might recall, Terry got a tattoo of the Larry O'Brien championship trophy on his arm in the pre-season before the Dallas Mavericks won in 2011. He also got a tattoo of Lucky the Leprechaun holding the O'Brien trophy before he started his first season with the Celtics last year. While the C's unfortunately didn't have as much luck as the Mavs with Jason Terry's tattoo predictions, JET told Duggan that he doesn't regret getting second trophy tattoo: "I'm a very superstitious guy, but every community I come involved with, I just take it on,&...

I play Olaf right now, I use flash and ghost for quick early game kills (and get aways if needed). His Ult is so perfect for initiating or survivability at the end of a team fight, causing me to basically never die... I build sort of off-tankish so my HP ends up close to 5k at the end of the game anyway. I was just curious about other good champs for survivability in 3's because it's basically all I play... i tried Warwick but really just did not have fun playing him at all, same with renekton. I have Nasus but not sure how to build him for 3v3. Any replies are welcome >
Senior Member
Olaf isnt even a tank, if you want someone thats hard to kill get someone like mundo, singed, malphite... and btw... getting 5k hp on olaf means youre doing it wrong, olaf is good with hp, yes, but taking it to the extreme of 5k hp is too much, thats like having 2 warmogs and a mallet lol (ok Im exagerating a bit, but that build would leave you at 5k something).
No I don't get 2 warmogs, I just add banshees veil if the other team has a lot of CC, it gets me to like 4700 or something like that... Trust me dude I never have a problem playing olaf with the way i build xD But that's what I mean, I don't want to play a tank. I want to play someone off-tankish that you can build for survivability rather than AD or AP. The reason that I don't have a problem playing olaf the way i do is because of Atmas Impaler on top of my total HP. Building Olaf with attack speed and life steal I think is playing him wrong because your W move gives you both of those and losing health gives you attack speed lol If you want to jungle with him you don't need a wriggles lantern because the combination of your Q, E , and W make jungling easy without it... And with enough Attack Damage along with Olafs ability to use his moves together in a team fight already make him hard to kill, not to mention that most people don't want to focus Olaf and then regret it quickly when you have a ton of HP

Why Verizons Skype client forces Android Wi-Fi shutdown
Verizon Wireless need it says requirement to meet FCC law enforcement rules for its Skype Mobile application, along with an Android quirk, could create a major disincentive for some Skype Mobile users.
* Note: This story has been updated. The original version stated Skype Mobile 911 calls are delivered over 3G. In fact, they revert back to the device dialer and are carried on Verizon's voice network.
Industry News
Briefing Room
Verizon Wireless users with Android-based devices most notably the popular Motorola Droid are not able to run the new Skype Mobile client with the phones Wi-Fi radio turned on. The consequence: Users can either turn Wi-Fi on the device off completely, forcing all data services to run over the Verizon 3G network, or leave Wi-Fi on and be unable to use Skype Mobile to make calls or even have it running in the background, the major of appeal of the app in the first place.
News of this quirk came this week courtesy of Skype Journal, whose editor Phil Wolff ran into the problem when testing Skype Mobile on a Motorola Droid device (see screen capture). The fact that the Verizon Skype Mobile implementation doesnt use Wi-Fi as its network connection isnt news; the realization that Android users cannot turn on Wi-Fi at all while using the app is.
In an interview, Verizon said the problem was not designed to force users onto its 3G data network or for any other nefarious intent. It also said the problem only occurs on Android-based devices; for instance, the Skype Mobile client does not have the same problem running on RIM Blackberry phones.
Nonetheless, Verizon did admit the glitch was a problem for users of its much-hyped Skype Mobile offering and said it was working with Google, device manufacturers and the Skype Mobile development team to find a fix.
The Wi-Fi problems are ironic because many early mobile VoIP applications especially on Apples iPhone are available only on Wi-Fi, not 3G. The problem represents a fairly significant bump in the road for the much-touted Skype Mobile because app-happy Android users seem the most likely early adopters of the service.
Verizons Unique Skype Implementation
As noted previously, Verizon and Skype worked closely to come up with their implementation of Skype on the VZW network. And it works in some unexpected ways. Rather than run Skype over an open 3G data connection as Skype on the PC would operate the two companies custom-built a solution that delivers Skype calls over the Verizon Wireless voice network, while other Skype services like instant messaging, chat or location/presence and most importantly in this case, call signaling run over the 3G network.
Verizons stated goal and one which Skype has enthusiastically backed both in interviews and by moving the bulk of its mobile app development effort to the Verizon project was to improve the quality of Skype calls on its network by giving them a clear path on its voice network.

I hear the best things in life are free, but unfortunately that bit of wisdom doesn't really apply to clothing. However, the folks over at East Dane and yours truly wanted to give you a little help with picking up that summer jawn you've been dreaming about. They supplied me with three $50.00 gift cards to give to you guys, and it'll take about sixty seconds to enter to win one of them.
Firstly, if you guys aren't familiar with the company, East Dane is an online retailer (a subsidiary of Amazon) that stocks higher quality menswear brands. You can find pieces from Gant by Michael Bastian, Aspesi, Glanshirt, Miansai, Mismo, Public School, Oliver Peoples, and a slew of other gnarly labels you'll be familiar with.
So this is what you need to do to enter:
Winners will be picked at noon on Friday, and I'll send whomever wins a code for a fifty dollar discount. I'll be selecting two winners from Tumblr randomly, and one via Instagram. Follow me on Instagram here. You can enter both competitions.
Good luck and pray to you jawn gawd for good fortune.
(Source: mypantalones)
A few people have recently asked about what my footwear rotation looks like, so here you go. I wear some much more more than others, but this is what I'm working with.
Not pictured: pair of black and pair of brown shit-kicker penny loafers that are MIA / four pairs of espadrilles / athletic shoes
I have always questioned the logic and taste of stylists working in magazines. It seems as though they feature pieces that major designers push, regardless of appearance or details, and this is especially true when it comes to dress shirts. The main offender in this instance is GQ and its love affair with the baby point collar.
Without fail, Jim Nelson (EIC of GQ, pictured below) appears in every photo sporting a shirt with a tiny collar. I don't think I've ever seen him wear a spread that reaches under the lapels of his jacket. You might say that he wears the collar to appropriate the 1.5" width of his ties, but honestly, that's another issue. If you're the Editor in Chief of the world's biggest menswear magazine, you should look like a man, and your collar should look like a man's collar.
So what is technically wrong with a small collar?
There are a few things that a small collar accomplishes, and none of them are positive if you're more than sixteen years old. Firstly, a baby collar takes years off your image, and that's not in a good way. A smaller collar gives the impression that the wearer is young, a bit too young to be wearing a suit. The collar also makes your head appear much larger than the proportions of your body dictate, inspiring another characteristic of children.
A small collar also calls for a readjustment in proportion to your entire outfit. Primarily, a small collar needs a smaller tie knot; if you have a small opening between your collar points, a knot measuring more than an inch and a half can leave your neck looking constrained, drawing attention away from your face. Creating a need for a skinny tie is never a good thing, in my opinion, unless you're headed to a Mad Men party or your pop-punk band's first show outside of the garage.
When it comes down to it, the real problem I have with the baby collar is that it doesn't rest under the lapels of a jacket, open or closed. In my book, if you can see the tips of your collar, you're doing something wrong (unless we're talking about a button-down collar). If your collar tips are showing, there are two unnecessary points of focus on your neck. taking away from the fluidity of your kit and highlighting the shirt as an individual piece, as opposed to a functioning part of a whole.
What it's really all about is maintaing the image of your kit as an entire kit, not a bunch of singular pieces. When you look at an outfit, you want a sense of solidity and appropriateness in relation. If your shirt is standing out as a singular aspect, due to exposed collar points, that takes away from the seamlessness of your kit. The spread collar above remains nicely under the edges of my lapel, maintaining a fluid flow from tie to shirt, shirt to jacket, jacket to gillet. There is no interruption in that progression.
I buy my shirts with full spread and cutaway collars; I won't buy a shirt that I am expecting to wear with a tie unless it will safely stay beneath my lapels when I am sitting, walking, or doing whatever the hell it is that I do. I own a few point collar shirts, but I wear them more casually, without a blazer. You can see, in the pictures above and below, that the tips of my collar are nowhere to be seen. The cutaway contrast and plaid collars and the spread blue striped collar achieve this qualification perfectly.
Some strict menswear aficionados will say that you should choose your collar solely on how it frames your face; Although that makes sense, I respectfully disagree. When choosing a shirt collar, the length and ability to nest under my blazer is the main priority. That being said, I think the full spread collar is the best option for the average man. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, Italian, or dramatic, go for a cutaway.
I will say that GQ is starting to do a better job, incorporating appropriate spreads into their editorials and features, and they aren't the only offender in supporting the baby collar. There are plenty of magazines, blogs, and millions of people who promote and wear collars of underwhelming size. It's an epidemic of massive proportions and little recognition. My only advice is this: the next time you go to buy a shirt, wear a jacket, respect your neck, and don't buy a baby collar.
The New Flannel, a Refinement in Fabric:
Flannel is back. You've heard this before; Kurt Cobain, the grunge revival, and whatever the hell else flannel used to mean is still cool. The thick fabric, full of pills, you wore to that one bon fire, that one time, to make that one girl think you were edgy or something is still cool? Well, kind of. Flannel has been synonymous with grunge, art students, lumberjacks, and that shitty acoustic guitar player from high school for decades. That's just the way it is, and that's the way flannel, as the masses know it, will continue to be viewed for a while longer.
However, there is another flannel shirt making its way onto the horizon, a modern option for the sartorially inclined man. Over the past five years (as you probably already know), there has been a movement in menswear, calling for tailored clothing that can be worn casually. The product of this movement, in a few words, is an image of casual elegance, and the flannel shirt has started to follow in this menswear movement's tracks.
Over the past few seasons, the presence of lightweight flannel in shirting has increased steadily, and the pieces have been far from the heavy, point-collar flannel shirts of the past. A lightweight flannel allows for a more elegant drape and youthful cut. The fabric lends itself quite perfectly to the casual elegance, sought after by today's man. The softness and comfort of flannel, paired with modern cuts, details, and furnishings, creates an incredibly beautiful shirt that doesn't immediately bring Seattle and the grunge movement to mind.
Since lightweight flannel acts in the same ways a poplin or oxford fabric would, the possibilities in shirting are endless. That being said, above I've chosen a few different styles of lightweight flannel to share with you guys. The popover is having a moment right now, and this forest green popover from Piombo is a perfect example of how the modern flannel fabric finds its place in casual Italian tailored clothing. Similarly, this refined fabric has a place in the world of dress shirts.
The dark blue, green, and gray plaid dress shirt, custom made by Modern Tailor, is a perfect example of the elegance of this refined flannel. Finished with a wide spread collar and thick mother of pearl buttons, this shirt brings flannel into the world of the modern custom dress shirt.
The oxford cloth shirt, commonly found with a button-down collar, is a classic staple of the American prep enthusiast. Lightweight flannel is an easy substitute for the oxford fabric, as seen in the striped button-down shirt from Breyburn above. These small changes, like collar style and mother of pearl buttons, distinguish the new flannel trend from its tired older brother.
Lightweight flannel is a fabric that will be very much present in the coming seasons, providing warmth for fall and winter, while remaining wearable and breezy for spring. The refinement, found in menswear today, has reached the world of flannel. It is a new age for the flannel shirt, an age of elegance and personality.

Today @greg_costanzo and I are starting to shoot a big fall editorial for The Pantalones. Here's a sneak preview of one look featuring vintage Harris Tweed and accessories from the new collection from @theKnottery. (at Pingree)
The New Flannel Teaser
Early yesterday morning, Greg and I drove down to Lavallette beach to shoot an editorial that I currently have in the works. The light was absolutely incredible, and the photos that we got are unreal. As the name above dictates, the editorial will be examining the transformation of the modern flannel shirt, and it will be dropping sometime in the next two weeks.
We also shot a little bit of video, a medium that I haven't really explored yet on the blog. Greg edited everything after we got back yesterday, and this is what we came up with. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Big thanks to Cadillac for the hook up on the ride there.
WIWT - September 10th, 2013:
It's been a while since my last WIWT post, but we're back on campus and back in action, as of right now. Greg and I met up after class yesterday and roamed campus in search of some shots yesterday, and we definitely got some good ones, posting up outside of Green Hall. The film looks incredible.
It's pretty obvious that this is a simple kit. Espadrilles, denim, a blue OCBD, and a cap. It's a kit I'm sure most of you have worn in some form or another. It's basic, and there isn't anything wrong with that. Personalization of your image is something that can be achieved with the slightest tweak of an aspect of a standard piece of clothing.
I'm willing to bet that anyone reading this blog owns a blue OCBD. It's a wardrobe staple for sure, and at times they can get a bit boring. However, there are small things that you can do to draw attention. I almost always unbutton my collar and flip it up when I'm wearing an OCBD by itself. I also go for unbuttoning the fourth button on casual OCBDs when it's warm out. They're both little touches that tell people you have a bit of personality, and they can make a blue OCBD a little more interesting, to yourself and those around you. They're the slightest of changes, but they really can change the image of a shirt so rooted in traditional dress.

A few weeks ago, the guys from Proper Cloth asked me to design two custom shirts, featuring their new soft collars. Of course I accepted the offer, and as a result, I added two insanely beautiful shirts to my wardrobe. Here are some images from the resulting editorial, which turned out brilliantly.
The two shirts are as follows:
Huge shouts out to Chris and the rest of the Proper Cloth team for directing this insane editorial.

Interview Series: No. 2
If you've been around the menswear blogosphere, chances are that you've heard of the men's accessory powerhouse that is Berg&Berg. Based in Oslo, Norway, Berg&Berg is run by the husband and wife team of Mathias and Karin Berg. I was lucky enough to have a chat with Mathias and learn a bit more about the brand, the launch of some new products, and how they do modern elegance so damn well. Enjoy:
When was Berg&Berg created, and what led to the creation of the brand?
We launched the brand and webshop in November 2009. It started as a part-time project of passion - we both had normal white collar jobs back then. We really wanted to create something real, not just memos and powerpoint presentations, and after considering a few options, starting an accessories company seemed like the most exciting idea. We traveled to Italy, looked for the best manufacturers and suppliers, and the project was born. Seeing something you have designed turn out great and then hopefully go on to be appreciated by a customer is a great feeling. It would be hard to go back to a normal office job now.
What type of pieces does Berg&Berg produce?
We started with ties, scarves, pocket squares, socks, and cashmere accessories. This fall we are very excited to launch our leather goods and knitwear collection.
Is there a certain type of guy that would wear the accessories that Berg&Berg produces?
I think it´s fair to say that a typical customer is not only interested in the style and design of the product, but also the history, the fabric, the construction and the origin. After talking with quite a few customers, my impression is that they are very knowledgable. I remember reading a New York Times article last year about the new breed of menswear bloggers that "look at men's fashion the way other guys look at cars, gadgets or even sports"- I think that many of our customers feel the same way.
The knit tie is an essential for the type of man or blogger you just described, and it is certainly one of my favorite products produced at Berg&Berg, for the reason that they are not so simple. What are some of the ways you deviate from the standard solid knit tie?
We try to go beyond the standard silk knit tie and work with other fibers as well, like wool, cashmere, and even linen. The linen knit tie has actually been our most popular item this spring; those things are quite hard to predict in advance. In addition to selecting new, interesting yarns, a knit tie can be woven in many ways to create interesting structures, and we try to do that as well. With the patterns, it´s a balance of creating something interesting that remains classic and will work for many years.
One of the things I think Berg&Berg does beautifully, and something you just mentioned, is balance classic elegance with contemporary liveliness. How is this balance achieved?
We have a classic and traditional foundation, with regards to design and quality, but we aim to create pieces that are versatile and can be worn in many ways. For years now, classic pieces have been worn by our generation in ways not strictly adhering to the rulebooks of classic clothing: classic tailoring worn in a modern way and classic pieces worn with casual clothing and streetwear. As much as we love a classic navy suit with a spread collar shirt and regimental tie, we try to create a collection that fits a modern customer.
We also try not to be too serious and exclusive in our communication. Although we take the collection very seriously, we don't have to be that serious. A personal, informal dialouge with our customers is definitely something we value.
Fabric is obviously a large part of achieving your aesthetic and making an accessory stand out. What goes into the selection of a fabric at Berg&Berg?
It's all about finding the right mix of texture, colors and pattern, and i's no secret that we prefer classic patterns that work in a modern setting. We started out building a collection based on our own tastes, and after a while you get sort of a sixth sense telling you "that's a Berg&Berg fabric." The fabric selection is a very fun part of the product developement process, a phase where everything is possible. After a while there are always some darlings that have to be killed though.
Berg&Berg seems to take inspiration from a multitude sources. Where does the inspiration for a Berg&Berg piece come from? Does your Norway home play a large role in inspiration?
Yes, inspiration definitely comes from a wide variety of sources; books, movies, music, and of course Tumblr, haha. Being Scandinavian definitely plays a big role. Although a paisley tie or a tartan scarf is not Scandinavian style per se, I believe our Scandinavian viewpoint on classic style gives us a modern, contemporary edge.
Alright, you have to pick two ties, two pocket squares, and two pairs of socks to wear for the rest of your life: go.
Pocket square:
What can the menswear enthusiast expect to see from Berg&Berg in the coming season, in terms of product, material, and inspiration?
We are so excited to finally show our customers the leather goods collection this fall. We have worked on this for quite some time now, and it has been a long process to get all the details right. We had many rounds of sampling before we finally found a perfect leather and perfected the features. The collection will definitely be a great addition to the brand. Also the knitwear turned out great, and I believe we found a spot-on balance between modern and classic styles.
This is a mix of tracks, curated by Margarita and myself, for your listening pleasure. We tried to stay pretty far away from your usual radio hip-hop bullshit and give you something a little more real. You'll find some tracks familiar and some not so familiar, but regardless of the notoriety, these are tracks that make us feel good. Get this tape going and crack a cold one, freestyle in the mirror, throw your illest b-boy stance, lay in the grass, bump it in your car, or do whatever the hell you want. Just make sure you enjoy it.

I'm excited to announce that, sometime in the near future, the beautiful Margarita and I will be dropping a Spring mixtape. This is going to be a collection of our favorite feel-good hip-hop tracks to which we'd like all of our followers to vibe and ride.

Award Winners for 2011
|Economic Justice/Community Impact
Scott Farquhar (YPO Sydney)
When creating the company Atlassian, manufacturer of popular products such as JIRA and Confluence, Scott Farquar and his founding partner had just a product idea and the mission to commit 1 percent of revenue, 1 percent product, 1 percent of equity and 1 percent of employee time to charity.
Facing technology giants with strongly established global presences, the two founders created a new model for their industry, selling B2B software that could be purchased and downloaded from their website at a fraction of the price of their competitors.
They have matched their business success with major charitable contributions, including enabling thousands of children in the developing world to receive an education they wouldn't otherwise have received.

BrightFarms LLC
Paul J. Lightfoot is the owner and CEO of BrightFarms (BFS), a company that designs, finances, builds and operates hydroponic greenhouse farms ("BrightFarms") on site at grocery retailers, eliminating time, distance and costs from their produce supply chain.
Through his work at BFS, Lightfoot has disrupted traditional agricultural supply chain methodologies to create a more sustainable business practice. Growing food ultra-locally, BFS has significantly limited the environmental impacts associated with agriculture.
The elimination of shipping and field agriculture means drastically reduced fuel consumption, carbon emissions and water use. BFS enables grocery retailers to change their produce supply chain in a way that improves the planet and their profits.

Richard M. Bergfors heads the Max Hamburger Restaurant, the ninth-most popular business in Sweden.
In 2006, Bergfors came to the realization that the beef industry was making a negative impact on the environment. As owner of a business that sold more than 80 percent beef products, he chose to be transparent to his customers, labeling all products with information about the company's carbon footprint.
Demonstrating his commitment to make a difference, he launched new products with a much lower environmental impact, and offset his beef products' emissions by investing in forestation projects in

Downtown Santa Cruz Antique Street Faire
- Location: Santa Cruz, CA
We've gone the past two months, and while it's nowhere near the size of Alameda, it's still quite fun -- and we certainly can't complain about browsing for an hour or so, having lunch, walking our dog down by the beach, driving back up the coast.
The Faire is from 9 am-4 pm.
2 Comments
I'm there tomorrow!
There were a lot of $300 dressers that I couldn't afford, but they were nice to look at anyhow.
I did score a $15 oil on canvas painting by Jenny Hutchins "A time for rest" and a nice wall box (?) w/mirror door, very sweet & cute.

Latest Headlines
If an agency posts misinformation or information that's misinterpreted or subject to negative attention, it's best to acknowledge it, correct it and move on, said Nicole Stillwell, community and brand manager for the State Department's bureau of consular affairs office of policy coordination and public affairs new media.
On social media, such as Twitter, smartly using every precious character of the 140 allowed is an important part of getting one's message across, but so is establishing credibility. The General Services Administration reminds agencies that it has two tools that can help new media managers achieve both of these goals.
Twitter gave a lesson to government workers on how to work the social media website to its full advantage, including how to tweet breaking news and how lawmakers can affect policy change through the site. The social media platform issued detailed guidance, saying Twitter alerts provide vital information to the public during fast-moving situations and also gives the public insight into how government works.
The Internet is bolstering the views of majorities but may leave minorities vulnerable, said Zeynep Tufekci, an information science and sociology professor at the University of North Carolina, during a Brookings Institution event Nov. 25.
Late last month the Environmental Protection Agency experimented with a new social media tool designed to amplify a single message across social networks called Thunderclap. The tool is open to all agencies for use based on federal-friendly terms of service recently negotiated by the General Services Administration.
A Twitter account's number of followers does not tend to correlate strongly with the degree of public engagement, said Jed Sundwall, a consultant who helped develop the federal social media registry and the USA.gov social media presence.
An effort to structure government content under a "create once, publish everywhere" model will help agencies adapt, share and syndicate information, Lakshmi Grama of the National Cancer Institute said Nov. 7. Structured content can be plugged into different formats automatically, she explained.
The Centers for Disease Control can envision a future where it uses social media as a data source for the early tracking of emerging diseases, but it's not without obstacles. Nontraditional data sources are an increasing necessity caused by the great recent decline of public health staff at local governments, said Joanne Andreadis, senior advisor within the CDC Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response. She spoke on a panel Oct. 28 during the annual ACT-IAC Executive Leadership Conference.
In the next few years, the Health Data Initiative plans to focus on publicizing its openly available data to ensure it's put to use. A strategy document dated Oct. 23 says the initiative, which the Health and Human Services Department launched in 2010, should make healthdata.gov more user-friendly and boost outreach to businesses and developers who can realize the data's potential.
As the federal government reopened Oct. 17, agency and department websites went back online and new media and public affairs officials took to social media to announce their return.

What are 10 things YOU know to be true?
I was interested and intrigued by Sarah's '10 things you know to be true' list exercise, particularly with the pattern she observed in hearing others; that you would continuously see items exact and opposite to your own, items you've never heard of, or thought about before in exactly that light.
I'm fascinated by our definitions of what we consider to be 'truth', and the disputes between our definitions.
So I propose we post a couple lists of our own here, and experience our agreements (and disagreements), learn some new ideas and lines of thought. Personally, I think it best to write your own list BEFORE reading the ones posted here to avoid influence ;)
I hope a couple people will be interested in participating in this miniature project. And, hey, if you see something in someone's list you'd like to ask about, or learn more about, or debate. . .we now have the TED conversation platform to make that possible.
My list:
1. These are the most exciting times in which we could ever hope to be alive which have already occurred.
2. Too often, we allow inertia to control our actions.
3. Everyone should travel.
4. 'Because that's the way things are' is not a valid reason.
5. Whenever you say 'I had no choice', you're lying.
6. It is possible to have an honest and even pleasant relationship with someone you do not like.
7. Loving someone or something heart and soul does not necessarily make it good for you, or them, or it.
8. There are ideas and inventions yet to come which will make into reality what we consider to be fantasy today.
9. Everyone has at least one story worth hearing.
10. My truth is not final.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 24 2011: 1) Our world is shaped by our interactions within it.
2) Societies that advance too quickly become morally underdeveloped just as fast.
3) No one problem has only one solution.
4) Listening to the views of others can help us better listen to ourselves.
5) A lot of the people charged with making big decisions are the ones who have no understanding of their impact.
6) Pastry may not be good for cholesterol but it sure is great for the soul.
7) It is better to believe in something outrageous than to believe in nothing at all.
8) The more time we spend searching for answers, the less likely we are to remember what the question was.
9) There is an ever widening gap between being good and not being bad.
10) The only way to truly learn, understand and know something is to do it yourself.

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle."
Ernest Hemingwayemail me if google hasn't got the answer..
So, understand the CONTEXT
Recently a few messages about why my change in style & this post from 2011 touched on it.
Simply put, I no longer work in a "suit & tie" environment - even the #1 of my company doesn't wear a "suit & tie".
Which brings an interesting point - there was a time when a well tailored suit was akin to an armour to project power & status, when in todays world I see the reverse. Especially when the young or the uncomfortable are trying to assimilate #GrownManStyle when the experienced can see through their lack of gravitas.
I now see a reverse balance of power in professional settings, when the suits actually lose their composure.
My Mother & Sister are perfect examples, they dress with confidence in their own style.
Recently my Sister made a very relevant comment about the other "school mums" when she goes to pick up her daughter/son.. Why do "school mums" feel it necessary to always be in gym wear when it's obvious they have not been or going to a gym. Consequently she receives a different attention.
So, understand the CONTEXT
Dress your age or your role in life - understand the CONTEXT
May I suggest you enjoy making mistakes & dress like a Young Man.
With the sudden change in seasons come rain & messages about appropriate footwear. Let's be concise here, NO WELLIES in the CITY! & yes it's OK to wear suede in the wet, just not consecutive days & make sure you allow them to dry out naturally.
Brought to you from the archives - this was circa 2011 but still very relevant

Something for everyone
With Friday approaching, this was a good resurrection from a follower. Circa 2011.
Another Friday, another day for Business Casual
Even though it is the second day of spring - the air is still cool, hence the sweater.
When I find myself wearing a lot of similar tones, highlighting with the opposite tone in smaller dosages is the best way to balance the look. Such as the red toned silk pocket square & brown suede shoes.

Peacocks & Turkeys
So apparently I ruffled some tough "anon" turkeys the other day regarding my 30 sec critique of indochino.com..
My 30 sec critique captured what would have been an all day shoot by "professionals". Let's take this another step. If you were selling a product, would you not make sure that it is represented in the best light?
Have a look at Ralph Lauren or J Crew for example, their campaigns capture a story & highlight their products in positive light. Surprisingly one can look at an older Ralph Lauren print media & still be swept away.
Actually, I challenge you to click on the WWIW tag & see if you find collar gaps etc. Also factor in that I do not have a team of stylists & "professionals" or a "fluffer". It's just me, a trash can as a tripod & 10 sec timer. Also I am not a model size.
Admittedly I am not as eloquent as Jesse, but that's just me.
Here is a link to Jesses, post in softer lighting
So back to the above pic - here's me after a long day in the saddle so to speak. In theory I have very difficult shoulders to fit & in practice should be exhibiting "collar gap" as my shoulders are sloped not square.
But as Patrick (P Johnson Tailors) & Ethan (ex PJ & now at The Armoury) have MostExerent "critical eye" & patience, they have ensured my jackets fit.
So there.. Anything else from the "anon" tough club as it appears they are the majority of the nay sayers & thank you to the other positive messages.
I will try & provide my assessment over time targeting mainly at industry folk as they SHOULD know better.
Please don't send me pics for assessments as it is best to just sit back & lurk more.
Shots fired!

When to go ROUGH!
Silk or linen pocket square? The opposite in texture to your tie is a good guide but not necessarily the gospel as the total balance is the deciding factor.
Today I chose to wear a cashmere tie with burnt ochre & mid blue flecks on a light blue base. The texture of the tie is borderline fine tweed so a red on ecru gingham silk pocket square was an unexpected choice.
Usually one would wear calf shoes with a classic suiting as this wool/cashmere chalk stripe - but as the great Prince Edward & Gianni Agnelli has shown, brown suede is a great combination.
Again, all this is built on a white poplin shirt for foundation.

With winter approaching in the northern hemisphere, I've been receiving a few messages about scarves. I prefer the sweater.
* Re-post from winter 2011
How do you wear a scarf?
You can't, but you can wear a sweater.. Since last winter 2010 I have been receiving emails/messages why I wear a sweater around my shoulder like a scarf & why not just wear a scarf.
Simply put, a sweater covers more of the shoulders & hence keeps me warmer. Oh, I can also wear it when in the office.
* Yes I forgot to pull in the side tabs hence pantaloons are hanging lower than optimum in the top picture

Many messages about me planning a SUIT come back..
Not likely for work but if the occasion calls for it, then yes. I have always said dress to the context or event, & the other night was an awards night.
Back to denim!
