"flesh of my flesh; blood of my blood; kin of my kin"
The Creation of Eve - Credit: Georges Jansoone/Wikimedia Commons
This seems to be a reference to the Biblical creation of woman (Genesis 2:23-24), when Eve was made using one of Adam's ribs:
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Dracula is insinuating that he has re-made Mina in his own image – a vampire!

Manchester United's draw against Stoke yesterday only brings one word to mind- baffling. After a ridiculous amount of possession, chances created and shots, United was unable to put the ball in the back of the net enough times to beat Stoke, who benefitted from a couple of massive defensive errors to score a great equaliser. One of the defensive errors was made by Ander Herrera, who was excellent the entire game and created what should've been more than the goal he was partly responsible for conceding. Herrera was at a loss for words after the game, and I understand why.
Herrera, much like the rest of United fans, pointed out that he can't understand how United was unable to win the game. He, much like manager Jose Mourinho, said the side played better than they did against Leicester but still were unable to win matches. He also hopes the fans can be proud of the team's effort, which he believes should've been sufficient to win the match.
"We cannot believe we did not win this game. I think we played even better than against Leicester as we created maybe 10 or 11 chances in front of their keeper [Lee Grant]. He was their best player and that says everything. I think our fans can be proud as we did everything and tried to win."
Herrera's relatively underdeveloped English doesn't take away from his true statement that playing well and creating chances should eventually result in goals and triumph in the match. He said he even believed the side could have won by a large margin, and he doesn't understand how that wasn't the case. He encouraged fans to move on, saying that they struggled to score and were incredibly unlucky to concede at the other end. He's right, ultimately- all the luck was in Stoke's favour for the entire afternoon, and if United continues to perform the same way not many other sides will have a similar fate.
"This is football. I believe, when you play good, you have more chances to win. I have that thought – you should play good if you want to win but this time it was not like that. I hope this is not going to happen again. When we play as well as we did, we can win maybe 6-0 or 7-0. It was unbelievable we did not win but I cannot say too much. I don't know what to say to our fans but we have to accept it and keep working.
"If we had scored the second, we would have killed the game but we didn't. After that, it was a very unlucky moment. A deflection and the ball was very difficult for David [De Gea]. He tries to throw the ball out and there are then three players against Jon Walters, even with three players, the ball went up and I don't know how. It hit the bar instead of going out – it stayed in and we were very unlucky."
Herrera, who assisted one of Juan Mata's two famous goals against Liverpool at Anfield and bagged a penalty against them last year, said the same will be a big test. Of course, playing against Liverpool is always important, as he stated- but he said now would be the chance to rectify the errors United made after the international break last time. Herrera, finally, said it will be advantageous to play on Monday because the South American players will be back and ready to play (if needed).
"It's a big game for us. For our fans – away to Liverpool. We had a good example last time when we didn't come back well after an international break and now we have a chance to fix it. We can say that. We have a chance to avoid that moment. We are going to try. I think it's good playing on a Monday as all our South American players have more time to recover and get back in the team. We have to keep working."
Questions still surround whether or not Herrera is suited for the defensive midfield role at United. He adds incredible fluidity to the side and brings incredible ball-winning quality to the position, but he isn't as physically imposing as other midfielders at the club and he is prone to an error or two. In addition, Herrera's attacking abilities seem to be limited in a defensive midfield role.
In my opinion, Herrera should be playing alongside Paul Pogba, where the two can dovetail and create chances at will. If Juan Mata or Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a better option in the role, then so be it- Herrera isn't in the side. That being said, Herrera is a good option in the smaller games, when United has less of an opposition threat and the likes of Mata and Mkhitaryan will not be defensive liabilities. In the more suited games, Herrera can be pushed further forward with the likes of Michael Carrick and Morgan Schneiderlin to step in behind.
That last paragraph summed all of it up, though, for United- Pogba, Schneiderlin, Carrick, Herrera, Mata, and Mkhitaryan. United has some ridiculous options to choose from, not to mention Mourinho's favoured Marouane Fellaini. Herrera, though, is being given the opportunity to take his chance and become a key player from the aforementioned group. It remains yet to be seen, whether or not he will take that chance.

WHat is Bloomingdales return policy on jeans if they are never worn? Thanks
Tags still on? Do you have the receipt? Bloomies is usually good with returns.
yup tags still on never been worn. About 30 days? or longer? and i have the reciept
180 days. I'm assuming you dont have the receipt so you'll need to make sure the tag has the CRL or else they will give you the lowest selling price
This thread is pretty old so I was wondering if Bloomie's return policy is still 180 days, provided tags are on and shoes have not been worn. TIA!
Does anyone have any idea of Bloomingdales` return policy?
I was told 180 days was their policy a couple of weeks ago.
But I had no problem returning something after 8 months, I did have the tag & receipt. They did have to call the manager to over ride something on the register, but no questions/problems. I was impressed with the customer service, so they did themselves proud.
^ Awesome! I purchased online and didn't see a timeframe for returns in that section of the website. I was hoping they had a similar policy as Nordstrom, in which it's not a hassle. Thanks so much!
Does anyone know what's the policy for makeup? If you tried it on and it doesn't suit you can you return it for a refund? TIA
^^i think you can return it w/ receipt and all package....i usually return make up stuff within a week of purchase if they don't work for me.

There's lots of different ones out there.Only problem with this one? I have never met a man that can be satisfied with these,not that they are gluttons, just that the portions are toosmall for an adult man that may require more than what they have to offer.However, they may suffice for an older child with a healthy appetite.
I bought one of these some time ago and never again. The taste was awful and the portions are more suitable for a child. Definitely not a good price to pay for something they pass off as meat; bad tasting

One of the problems I have had thus far with my foray into ASP.NET has been a simple concept. How do you deal with users logging in. Not so much the actual mechanics of it, but where is the data, and how can I get to it? By default, when you are using forms based authentication, that data is stored in tables that you cannot easily get to, and certainly not in the Solutions Explorer. Essentially, nothing is showing up in your "App_Data" node, and there is no .MDF file to add from your project directory.
What then are you to do when you want to have direct access to your membership tables from within Visual Studio? Well, let me walk you through the steps, as I did them, to achieve this. I won't say that this is the official way, but it's what worked for me. I hope to save you some of the pain and suffering associated with my searching on the web to find these answers.
Create your new project
This is self-explanatory.
Turn on forms based authentication
This is accomplished by editing your web.config file. Look for the following:
<forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" />
Run the ASP.NET Configuration
It's important that you don't look for this option (under the "Project" menu) when you have the web.config file as your open window. It won't be there.
Add A User
Click on the security tab, and from there you can manage your users. Add one. One time when I did this, I saw the following error:
The annoying bit was that when I tested the connection, through the tool, it was able to successfully establish a connection. Wonderful. I am not sure how I fixed this the one time I hit it, but I wanted to throw it out there as a potential issue.
The Unfun Complicated Bit
So, this is where having a friend on the dev team is important. I had read one of the tutorials over at asp.net which had content on this topic. They tell you to run "aspnet_regsql" from a Visual Studio command prompt. If you do nothing else, know this: if you are using SQL Express, your server that you want to connect to is in the form of <machine name>\sqlexpress. If you get that wrong, this tool will fail. Always. That's roughly two hours I just saved you.
I am not sure what this tool did that this command line bit didn't do for me (courtesy developer friend).
With the following options:
If everything goes according to plan, you will see:
If not, you will see many errors. This broke for me when the ASPNETDB.MBF file was not already there. It showed up for me only after I had successfully built and run the project and added a user. The asp.net mvc default app has a new user wizard, which I could also use (which I did when I hit that stored proc error above in "Add a User." Of course it worked, and I don't know why.
Add the Database File
In the Solutions Explorer Window, right mouse click, and select "Add/Existing Item." Select ASPNETDB.MDF. Careful that you don't select the _log file. I did that. Don't do what I did. Fail.
There you go. A step by step, "how the hell do I get my user tables into my project so that I can edit them" tutorial. Hopefully this saves some poor unsuspecting n00b some time.

Senate President, BUKOLA SARAKI has also added his voice to the anti-corruption fight embarked upon by the BUHARI-led All Progressives Congress.
SARAKI said the APC as a party should not be just a mantra or a tool of political witch hunt but should be a collective responsibility of everybody to rid the country of impunity and hardship.
SARAKI gave the remark at the opening of the National Anti-corruption summit held at the Nigerian Air force Center in Abuja.
He said the anti-corruption fight must remain driven by a well articulated and delivered strategy that is robust, multifaceted and driven by leadership across all aspect of the political and social systems.
SARAKI also said that for the anti-corruption fight to be successful, the judiciary must be insulated from political interference and must not have its integrity questioned on the vantage point of harbouring bad eggs.
He however said that it is no longer acceptable that the country operates a judicial system where there are conflicting judgments issued from courts of coordinate jurisdiction over matters similar in fact and in law.


text: Wedding Season is over so I finally have lots of time to be creative again. This winter I am planning to do many digital art photo sessions. Here is one I just finished. A little Children Portrait Photography Session. It is little Martina which wanted to be a "Snow Princess". I didn't want the result to be very Disney like so I went ahead and came up with my own version. She is only 4 years old so the challenge was to make her do what I need in front of the camera. She tried her best. She did really well. The shoot was quick here in my Oshawa studio, only about 15 min. I am finding that for this age category it is almost enough for them. Anyhow, I have so many different themes and ideas in my head for all these shoots… and to answer your question, yes I actually offer these shoots to clients as well. All you have to do is come up with theme, or what your child would like to be, we'll get wardrobe and props and here you go… fantasy theme is here. These children photo sessions are great if you want to print it on canvas or frame it to decorate your child's room or simply give this as a present to someone close to your heart.

Selection and Promotion Assessment
A complete executive selection assessment based on a candidate's leadership competencies is vital to your success in executive recruiting as well as your internal executive development. The reality is that there are limited numbers of quality executives to recruit. It is therefore essential that an organization have the ability to build in-house talent. Assessment for development requires the same discipline and quality methods as external recruiting.
Generally, many recruiting firms and organizations rely on interviews, references and background checks to assess individual qualifications. Interview quality is typically poor, making the data gathered unreliable. Fear of litigation makes reference checking an unreliable method of gathering useful information. Recent court rulings have further made organizations timid about background checks, so detecting concerns about an executive's history is more difficult.
Although companies are increasingly using some type of selection assessment, the majority of the selection instruments on the market are not reliable in predicting job performance. The Emersus Executive Assessment Process combines personality and character assessment, cognitive testing, interviews by individuals trained in behavioral questioning techniques and quality reference and background checks to give you the greatest potential for successful executive hires and promotions. Any search committee or board can exercise much more higher due diligence when evaluating executive talent through the Emersus pre-employment testing and evaluation process.

The quadrennial showpiece begins February 9 and will end on March 23.
Almost on cue, captain Sourav Ganguly and coach John Wright have begun implementing just what Ranatunga, now an MP, proposed.
Though the elements ensured not a ball was bowled in ODI No. 1 today, in Kingston, there�s a good chance the vice-captain will keep during all the remaining four matches.
According to The Telegraph�s sources in the West Indies, Dravid promptly said �yes� when Sourav himself asked whether he would be comfortable playing a double role.
The idea, clearly, is to strengthen the batting � exactly the logic advanced by Ranatunga, Sri Lanka�s (1996) World Cup-winning captain, when he made the Dravid-as-keeper suggestion.
Ranatunga, in fact, believes the Indians must always field seven batsmen (including the wicketkeeper) � as was done by Lanka during that spectacular World Cup campaign � and the Sourav- Wright duo is on pretty much the same wavelength.
[Sanath Jayasuriya, Romesh Kaluwitharana, Asanka Gurusinha, Aravinda de Silva, Ranatunga, Roshan Mahanama and Hashan Tillekeratne completed Lanka�s 1-7 line-up in 1996.]
However, as one of our own national selectors put it, �what if the move to exclude specialist Ajay Ratra doesn�t come off?� He added: �Also, it�s to be seen how enthusiastic Dravid actually is� Earlier this year, after all, he didn�t wish to be wicketkeeper in the ODIs against Zimbabwe��
India, of course, will score a perfect 10 (on the balance-scale) should the move click. Besides Dravid, the six batsmen will (in the present context) be: Sourav, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Dinesh Mongia, Yuvraj Singh and V.V.S.Laxman/Mohammed Kaif.
Dravid, incidentally, has already doubled-up as keeper in nine ODIs � the last such instance being in the South Africa-hosted tri-series (October 2001).

Pacific Kitchen Bath & Flooring reminds interested readers that, no matter what next big or small renovation homeowners have in mind, they will always find inspiration in the company's showroom.
Mission Viejo, CA (PRWEB) April 07, 2016
Orange County-based Pacific Kitchen Bath & Flooring knows from long experience that homeowners are much happier with their homes after completing renovations, but now there appears to be some numbers to back up that observation. According to an article published April 4th on Green Valley News, homeowners who carry out remodeling projects on their houses can expect a big boost in what the National Association of Remodeling Industry calls a "joy score" for household projects. Writer Rosie Romero explains that, according to recent surveys, homeowners who obtained bathroom renovations reported an average happiness rating of 9.3, while those who had kitchen renovations reported a whopping 9.8. Importantly, Ms. Romero adds that average "payback" to homeowners in terms of their home investment was also up over 62% last year, according to the report. Pacific Kitchen Bath & Flooring, explains that electing to have a kitchen, bathroom, or flooring remodeling project can often add a great deal of value, not to mention comfort and modernity, to one's home while also greatly adding to the pleasure one takes in home ownership.
The home improvement firm, which is General B licensed and insured, notes that, as the summer season comes rolling in, many people are upgrading their flooring to hardwood, natural stone, and tile options in order to beat the heat and feel happier about their residence. Pacific Kitchen Bath & Flooring explains that, with their client-centered approach to home and kitchen remodeling, they make the household improvement process a breeze. The firm notes some of the factors that have led to their solid reputation throughout Southern California:
- A hands-on approach – Pacific Kitchen Bath & Flooring explains that, no matter what a potential client has in mind for his or her next home remodeling project, they will certainly find something to love at their Mission Viejo showroom. Here, the firm notes, visitors can see, touch, and experience the wide array of products and materials that Pacific Kitchen Bath & Flooring incorporates into a great many of their remodeling projects. From custom hardwood cabinets to gorgeous quartz and granite kitchen countertops, the contracting firm notes that almost every visitor will find something they'll want to bring home.
- Truly custom cabinets – When a client wishes to remodel his or her kitchen, an important choice will be whether they want framed or frameless cabinets. Framed cabinets are a more traditional design which consist of an extra panel, which actually adds strength to the cabinet. On the other hand, frameless cabinets are slightly more space-efficient and are quickly becoming a modern standard in American homes. Regardless of whichever cabinets clients choose, Pacific Kitchen Bath & Flooring explains that they can turn remodeling dreams into reality.

Melbourne based film production company Genepool Productions engaged Moko Creative to develop concepts for a new documentary. These are the pitch concepts we had designed to reflect the clients brief and synopsis.
The year 2015 is the 70th anniversary of the most profound change in the history of human enterprise on Planet Earth. The unleashing of the elemental force within Uranium. The unleashing of the Dragon.
The story of Uranium is part science, part history, and all epic adventure. It's a journey through place and time, around the most dangerous and curious rock on Earth.
We contoured and combined over 15 images in photoshop for the cover design, and provided these 2 initial concepts. One version slightly more humorous and playing on the atomic age and the bikini atoll.

"Our experience working with Nancy in search of our new home was a delightful one. Nancy worked with us for several months showing us homes in the Chatham area. We were pleased to know that she is a long-time resident of the area as she could speak about the homes, neighborhoods and community from the vantage point of a broker and resident.Nancy is the consummate real estate professional. She conversed with us in a manner that was informative and helpful to us and displayed near-endless patience in touring with us to find a home that my wife and I loved. I found Nancy to be incredibly articulate in communicating the narratives of each home we visited - how a family might actually live and enjoy the property and grounds. And if there's any greater testament as to her professionalism and productivity, I would be hard pressed to engage anyone else when/if we were to ever sell our Chatham home. Nancy will be our go-to agent to represent us in a sale."

"When I bought my house in Chatham 10 years ago, my boss at the time referred me to her swearing that no one in the area is better than Nancy. Hands down. She proved him to be correct and I was happy to use her again when I recently sold my house. She managed a somewhat complicated process superbly and I can't imagine using anyone else. Any compliment doesn't do her experience and professionalism justice. On top of all that, she's just a cool person."

"We couldnt recommend Nancy more highly! She made purchasing our new and selling our existing homes an easy experience. Her professionalism, knowledge of the markets, and contacts she brought to the table were exceptionally helpful. Real estate transactions can always be filled with potholes, and Nancy helped pave the way towards successful resolutions!"

"Nancy, we sincerely appreciate your hard work, dedication and friendship over the past 3 years. Moves are hard and emotional in any case, and leaving our home in the Highlands was no exception. The day I called you when we first learned we were moving I had a great sense of relief that our home was in good hands. Throughout the past 3 years you continually made our lives easier. Thank you so much for all you did for us. We really enjoyed working with you! Best wishes"

Woman not guilty in Schenectady stabbing
A Schenectady County Court jury sided with the defense Thursday, finding the woman accused of trying to stab a cab driver to death last year not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
The verdict, handed down after more than 21⁄2 days of deliberations, means 19-year-old Desere D. Shaw of Gloversville will remain in custody pending a hearing to determine if she should be committed to a mental hospital for treatment.
That hearing, which has yet to be scheduled, is expected to be held within 40 days. She was tried on attempted murder, first-degree assault and other counts.
The verdict means the jury found Shaw had attacked cab driver Derek Leach with a knife on Feb. 7, 2013 on Eastern Avenue, leaving him with life-threatening wounds. The wounded Leach had to seek out assistance on his own, finally finding help at the downtown branch of the library.
The jury, though, found Shaw not criminally responsible by reason of her mental illness.
If she is sent to a mental institution, she would only be released if she is determined not to be a danger to herself or others, her attorney Michael Braccini said.
Shaw would then be under a lifetime order that could send her back to a mental hospital if she ever stops taking her medications or her condition warrants it, Braccini said.
The trial was marked by experts on both sides testifying to opposite conclusions over Shaw's criminal responsibility.
Shaw exhibited odd behavior throughout the trial. She could be seen eating candy wrappers, paper cups and even tissues. She ate the tissues during her attorney's closing arguments, prompting Judge Karen Drago, outside of the presence of the jury, to have the tissues removed from the defense table.
Shaw had been prescribed medications to control her mental condition, described by her attorney in closing arguments as bipolar with psychotic features. But she was not on her medications at the time of the attack, Braccini told the jury. Her mother had lost her insurance and Shaw stopped getting her medication, he said.
Leach, who testified and attended much of the trial, still has a scar on his face and lingering effects, including numbness.
Braccini said the verdict was the best one for Shaw.
"She didn't need state prison, she needed help," Braccini said. "This will get her the help that she needs."
Had the jury sided with the prosecution and found Shaw criminally responsible for her actions, she would have faced up to 25 years in state prison.
The case was prosecuted by Michael DeMatteo of the Schenectady County District Attorney's Office. He could not be reached for comment afterward.
In his closing, DeMatteo argued that having a mental illness, in and of itself, is not a defense or excuse.
DeMatteo noted that Shaw reported hearing voices, but he argued that she had shown that the voices didn't control her. She chose many times not to follow the commands of others, he said.
Leach, a driver for Glove City Transportation in Gloversville, picked up Shaw at the Johnstown Price Chopper that night and dropped her off on Nott Terrace, near the Schaffer Heights Apartments in Schenectady, where the attack occurred.
The injured Leach sought help at the Schenectady County Public Library, police said. Staff called 911 and he was eventually taken to Albany Medical Center by a MedFlight helicopter.
Police followed a trail of blood back to Eastern and Nott, leading them to believe that was where Leach was stabbed.
His taxi was found after the stabbing with its engine running at the corner of Windsor Terrace and Prospect Street.

Who is more attractive/cute? Don`t say both?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 27
This is a very tough one, because I can't see a CLEAR full body photo for either girl, and you and the other girl look so much alike.
From what I can see, YOU (the girl in the top photo) is more attractive. Of course, I would need to see a clear full body photo for an accurate assessment but you have the cuter face. I like your eyes and smile more. Both of you look like you have at least a decent body too, from what I can see.
Of course, beauty lies within the beholder. Not everyone will agree on who is the better looking one. Feel good about yourself! You don't have to compare yourself with others.11|00|0

by Ed Lallo/Gulf Seafood News Editor
Fisherman in the Gulf of Mexico, be they commercial, charter-for-hire or recreational, all agree on one fact: the growing need for more timely and accurate data for fishery management and science. Recognizing the need for more timely data collection, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has developed an implementation plan to expand the use of both electronic monitoring and electronic reporting.
According to NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), the need for electronic monitoring (EM)/electronic reporting (ER) has been made more urgent by clearly identified problems and management challenges, such as short fishing seasons. For example, data is often reported days after fishing takes place. There is also a need to validate reported catch with actual landed catch. These problems, and many more, are being addressed through a pilot study in the Gulf of Mexico this year.
"Improved data collection is something that fisherman and fishery managers in the Gulf have been working on for more than ten years," said Michael Kelly, Director of Business Development at CLS America and a Board member of the Gulf Seafood Institute. "Now, after years of talking, of studies, and delays, progress is being made. New electronic data collection gear is being installed on a large percentage of charter vessels in the Gulf."
The newly installed equipment referenced by Kelly allows Gulf charter-for-hire captains to electronically report their catch in real time. Fishery managers, enforcement personnel and scientists will have the ability to see exactly what fish are being removed from the Gulf. "The purpose of the program is to remove the guesswork," said Kelly. "Real data. Captains have said that improvements had to be made in timely and accurate data collection. Hopefully there will be no more wild guesses about how much fish has been harvested by this sector and no more phone survey estimations. "
Gulf Fisheries Economically Vital
Gulf of Mexico fisheries support millions of jobs and are economically vital to coastal communities throughout the Gulf of Mexico. However, without effective and timely data collection, these benefits are not being fully realized.
"I think data is the foundation on which all the best science and all the best management decisions are made. It is crucial for success." Dr. Bonnie Ponwith, Science and Research Director of the NMFS Southeast Fisheries Science Center, told Gulf Seafood News. "There is a rightful concern about the quality of data currently going into fishery management."
Ponwith believes everyone needs to work together to make data collection improvements. Investments in a variety of different kinds of data being collected are also of vital importance.
Currently, NMFS is using very defined electronic monitoring and electronic data collection to learn what is happening in subsets of specific fisheries to reflect what is happening in the whole population.
"Electronic monitoring and data collection is essential, but in addition, a strong validation program is needed to increase the quality of data," she said. "If NOAA is to establish an electronic recoding program it would be across all species caught."
The volunteer charter-for-hire data collection program currently set to begin in March already meets NOAA's goal for inclusion of all species caught. The tablet computers being issued to captains include forms that reflect all of the species being caught by recreational fishermen in the Gulf.
"Everything gets counted," said Kelly, whose company designed the program and is furnishing the equipment at no cost to Gulf captains. "The form was developed with the assistance of both NOAA and charter-for-hire captains. We have had input from captains from the very beginning on the program and the equipment. Building them into the process helps ensure that the project will be successful down the road.
The beauty of this new tablet is how quick and easy it is to operate, according to Kelly. "We have what we call the 'swipe and submit' form. It is usually a couple of minutes to click the boxes, add a value for the number of fish caught and submit. The data is transmitted and the captain is done," he explained.
NMFS EM/ER Plan
In 2015, the NMFS Southeast Region released an electronic monitoring and reporting implantation plan providing information about the agency's objectives moving forward.
What kind of technology will be important in the coming years? According to Ponwith, advances in communications must lead the way for electronic monitoring.
"We are currently using an electronic monitoring system for a Gulf of Mexico shrimp study allowing data to be transmitted from the vessel via cellular technology. It is reliable and affordable, some things that are important criteria," said the Miami based research leader. "Advances in satellite technology and the hardware that can link up to these communication tools are also essential."
From a NMFS management perspective, in terms of technology, much is contingent upon the organization's management objectives during upcoming years. Moving forward, key technology objectives must be met.
"There is a need for accurate data and timely response rates," said Andy Strelcheck, Deputy Regional Administrator, NOAA Fisheries Service. "We have to ask what types of technology might provide the most accurate and timely submission of data, as well as have the ability to collect and validate that data."
"We are an active partner working with CLS American on the current Gulf charter-for hire project," he said "We also have an ongoing project to develop and test a VMS-based electronic logbook system on some Gulf headboats that participated in the Headboat Collaborative Program the past two years. We are supportive of testing these technologies, and weighing the effectiveness of not only the hardware and software, but also the methodologies for validating the data as it is submitted. We are interested in knowing how well they can produce statistical estimates, and in what time frame can they be produced."
For the new charter-for-hire electronic monitoring program, collected data will be transmitted to a central database where it is processed then delivered to NOAA's NMFS Enterprise Data Management (EDM) Program. At the same time state fishery managers can also access the NOAA site. The secure online portal is protected so unauthorized parties cannot see the data stream, ensuring captains' privacy.
Once fish are caught and information transmitted, federal and state authorities can send samplers out to the dock to verify the catch reports. In the past, the Marine Recreational Information Program has used that data to estimate what larger fleet catches have been.
Business Tool for Captains
"Captains participating in the program can log on at any time and see their data up to the minute," explained Kelly about the equipment being installed on up to 275 Gulf for-hire vessels. "Fishing positions, catch information and all catch reports are available to individual captains via a secure, online account. Captains can go back and see what they caught last week, last month, even last year, it is a great business tool."
Charter captains will also be able to correlate oceanographic information with their catch reports to see where catches were made in relationship to sea surface temperatures, ocean color or other factors.
For the new charter boat data collection program, compliance is going to be very important for shifting the sample program to a more complete census program.
One of the challenges it faces will be timeliness in reporting.
"Our team estimates that they spend 20-30 percent of their time chasing down reports that come in late. This cuts down on time needed to develop timely analysis and procedures, and it also cuts down on the gains we may have had in the timeliness of the data forcing us to estimate what was actually landed," Ponwith explained. "The majority of the headboat fleet, which has had a mandatory electronic reporting program for the past two years, does submit on time; however it takes a fair amount of follow up for those who do not."
The new charter-for-hire electronic program hopefully will eliminate wasted hours by researchers because data will be transmitted before the vessel even reaches dock.
"When a captain pushes that send button, that data becomes instantly available to NOAA for analysis," said Kelly. "In addition, by sending information while on the water, dockside validation will be made possible."
Ponwith said that a subset of those returning vessels would be intercepted by a dockside sampler to observe the catch and validate the information was electronically reported. "This gives us a method to correct any reporting error that might have taken place. It will also allow for biological samples (length, weight, age) to be taken," she said.
The new program will not completely eliminate every problem, according to Strelcheck. "There are always going to be some system failures, network outages, as well as fishermen forgetting to submit reports because they get busy," he said.
"The higher the rate of timely reporting, the less these issues have to be addressed and the closer the estimates will be to real time," said the NOAA administrator. " It definitely helps to have those submissions on a trip by trip basis prior to hitting the dock, rather than the weekly reporting we currently have with the headboat program. It will allow us the opportunity to monitor the information on a real time basis."
The first training for charter boat captains participating in the voluntary electronic data collection program will start the end of February, with the first site being Orange Beach. The second training site will be in the Clearwater area the first or second week of March, and then Panama City area shortly after that. Reporting will begin immediately. At the end of the two-year program, all of the equipment becomes the property of the captain.
"The equipment will stay on the boat if the captain decides he would like to continue to use it. We have tried to build in as many incentives as possible for the captains to continue to participate in the program," said Kelly. "We want this to become a device that becomes an integral part of their business. From here forth we will have real data on how many fish are being caught right now, and how many can be counted at the dock."

A new year and an excellent turnout to discover "How to climb your family tree" with the help of Sharmain Thompson and her technical assistant Brian, her husband from the Haverhill Family History Group. Her talk illustrated using a slideshow presentation, took us through the stages of researching a family tree. From birth, marriage and death entries, census records and archive materials she showed how to understand all the information given and how to use it to verify direct descendants and relatives and gain a peep into their past lives.
A fascinating subject Sharmain was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and keen to encourage everyone to investigate their own families and to seek help if stuck or hitting a wall with seemingly no way to continue.
She told of discoveries made and held all present with family detective stories, using colourfully illustrated boards to display the lives found.
She believes that Family Historians provide the Genealogy tree with its leaves and fruit giving more than just bare facts but almost flesh on the bones of the past.
An excellent speaker, many questions followed from interested members enjoying this brilliant opening to another busy year for the Wickhambrook Institute who will celebrate 90 years like her Majesty The Queen, since their formation towards the end of 2016.

The credit roll for a typical feature film is several hundred names long.
Even a television documentary is often at least a hundred people or organizations. In fact the collaborative efforts and acts of generosity and kindness for a typical educational or cultural video can be so long that the credit roll, in order not to take up half the show, has to be accelerated to the point that thanks and credits whiz by in an unreadable blur.
There is almost never a power point at the national laboratory that doesn't include a dozen names and sponsors.
When we write about a science project with a laboratory scientist, his or her first concern is often that the other participants and funders be mentioned in the story, an almost impossible request.
There is never enough thanks in the world, even though thanks probably pays for an equivalent of at least half the gross national product and maybe even more on a global scale. If love makes the world go round, millions of sincere expressions of gratitude surely keep it on its axis.
A while back, we had a weekly "Mil Gracias" page to handle the outpourings of appreciation that seems to abound in our community, but of course the gesture of recognition always means more to the recipient and contributor than to the spectator.
All of which is a round-about way of saying we always seem to have a lot of thanking to do at this newspaper and never so much as we have in recent times.
There is more than a linguistic connection between the root words for communication and community and we have almost stumbled upon some of the most valuable connections.
According to John Durham Peters, a historian of communications, the word comes from a Latin word, meaning to "impart, share, or make common." The "mun" is related to words like "munificent," "community" and "meaning."
There could hardly be a more meaningful convergence of all these ideas than at the Monitor.
Last July, when our longtime photographer Gary Warren, resigned, we all knew he could never be replaced, but we didn't realize at first that a cost-conscious job freeze would keep us from even trying.
With the onset of the recession, Warren's vital function became one of the first casualties of the new reality of the news business in Los Alamos.
So maestro, if you will, a drum roll, please.
Since then, we have been immensely helped by what we call our "posse" of volunteer photographers, including Jennifer Bartram, Shari Mills, Jim O'Donnell and Skip Wecksung. Bernadette Lauritzen not only takes photographs, but also writes stories and a column.
Former Monitor employees also stay involved. We still get great columns and an occasional story from Kelly Dolejsi, and photographs and stories from Katy Korkos and Bonnie Gordon.
Our community pages are graced by stories from Mandy Marksteiner and Christel Hanson. Carol Meine at the library, Hedy Dunn, executive director of the Historical Society, Heather McClenahan, of the Los Alamos Historical Museum, Nancy Coombs of the Art Center at Fuller Lodge, Marlanne Hamilton, executive director of the Los Alamos Arts Council, Becky Shankland and Branden Willman Kozimor of PEEC.
For our sports pages, we have John McHale to thank for sports and other photography throughout the year, as well as Deborah Francisco, our summer sports intern; Jean Picard, Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey writer, and Ted and Joan Williams and the Atomic City Roadrunners for photos, stories and other items throughout the year.
Along with the members of PEEC, John Bartlit, LANL meteorologist Scot Johnson,the Sierra Club Pajarito Group and the incomparable John Pawlak all contribute regularly to our news or opinion pages. Christina Dey also helped us as a summer intern this year.
The problem with giving thanks is that it's hard to know where to start and where to end.
With apologies for those who have gone unnamed this time around, we say, "A thousand thanks."
We really know what its like to live and work in a community that communicates.

Marketing Digest Brings you Marketing Insights Straight from a Leading Local Marketing Service Provider
Marketing Digest doesn't just deliver the most relevant online marketing news, reports, and analyses, as we also interview some of the most successful online marketers today.
We place these highfliers in the hot seat and ask them the questions everyone's dying to ask: How did they become successful? What drives them to accomplish so many great things? What are their future plans?
We'll share their insights so that you can apply their principles and techniques.
Here is our interview with Myles Anderson,
founder and CEO of BrightLocal.com:
Myles Anderson Interview Transcript
Marketing Digest: Everyone, we have a special interview today with Myles Anderson. He's the BrightLocal founder and CEO. BrightLocal was founded in 2009, it's entirely self-funded, they have over 10,000 businesses that rely on them for their reporting technologies. Currently, over 45 employees and they are one of the most trusted analytics and reporting companies in the local online marketing industry. So Myles, thanks for coming on and being willing to talk to us over here at Marketing Digest on an interview to share with the entire community. How're you doing today?
Myles Anderson: I'm good to connected with you again and also, to connect with your audience. Hopefully, we've got some of our customers who'll listen to this. Maybe we can reach out and introduce ourselves to a few new people as well.
MD: Wonderful. So Myles, I've got a list of questions I've been dying to ask you here. What made you want to start BrightLocal? Because it's not just the average guy that thinks "Hey you know what? I live to manage a tremendous amount of data and try to figure out how to store it and present it to everyone in a friendly format." What sparked your interest to take on that mountain?
MA: Well to be very honest, I didn't realize how big the mountain was going to be when we started off. Had I known quite how many hurdles and obstacles you'd have to get up by, I probably wouldn't have been quite so bold to do it. So essentially I kinda just stumbled into it; I had a background in working in the UK for some large media companies doing sort of business development and got into the local space by working in the local directory project for the largest commercial radio group here in the UK. That's where I met my business partner our CTO Ed Elliot. We collaborated on that project and realized we got on very well; him from a kind of development side, me from a kind of product and business side.
About two years down the line, we found ourselves at a bit of a sort of bridging point in our careers, wondering what to do. We sat down talking about what projects interested us, where we wanted to go. At the same time, I had a number of friends who started learning local businesses-be it local pubs or a tile shop. They were clueless about online marketing; they really didn't have a clue. They knew they need to do it, they didn't understand what they had to do and they were finding it very hard to get the relevant data. So we kinda started assisting with them and essentially establishing an agency providing local marketing services. But we very quickly realized there was a ceiling above us in terms of our opportunities to grow that kind of business model and also very frustrated that everything was manual; there were very few dedicated tools for local.
So Ed and I realized with our skill sets in business development, product development and web development, we should really go out and build some tools. So we set about building these tools to help us in our current daily jobs. The need came from within us, quickly realized we loved doing what we were doing and that every time we were showing these tools to other agencies or consultants, they liked it and said "Hey, can we use those?" We kinda pivoted our business around that point to be-from an agency perspective-to being a software, data, tools and analytics company. So I wouldn't say I woke up one day and a light bulb lit in my head and said "That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to bring up BrightLocal." But we kind of listened to our hearts, listened to our heads and sort of followed the advice you got from others. That's why we're where we are today.
MD: Well you know I think some of the most successful companies are born out of a need a lot of people have. Commenting on that, you're able to identify a need businesses have for reporting data and analytics they didn't otherwise have. Maybe in data in general, or in a different format. What is the most important reason a client should be using BrightLocal reporting technologies and what's the main need that you fulfill?
MA: A typical customer of ours is a consultant or an agency rather than local business owners. So the majority of our customers come to us with some understanding of what it is they need. So they understand local online marketing, they understand data, what it means to have citations and things like that. So they're not totally green. They often have two needs: Obviously, as a consultant or agency they have their own clients. They have to work on behalf of their clients so they fall in two camps. One is auditing and tracking- using that data to inform the decisions they make about how best to improve the optimization for one of their clients. So I'd probably say that about half of our customers use this primarily for internal analytics and understanding where our client is, what they need to do next and tracking that.
The other half is that you justify the work they're doing on behalf of their customers. So as business owners, they are fairly thrifty in terms of the money they put into online marketing. And as with any sort of business, they want to understand the returns they're getting. Our agency and client consultant customers need to justify the work they've done and the fees they're charging. They do that by providing really accurate and detailed reports- a nice branded PDF or a nice branded online report- that they can present to their customers and say "This is what you're paying us for, this is the improvements we're delivering. Put your trust in us and we'll keep driving up that performance." Partly, it's about giving them the day to day look into their jobs and partly it's about justifying the work they do for their clients so they can justify those fees and retain those clients month after month.
MD: Right. And I think you would agree by saying the data you primarily specialize in is ranking data- where websites are ranking on Google, Yahoo and Bing correct?
MA: I would say that is what we're very well known for. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a thing we spend most of our time on doing. The reason we sort of focus on that is that's the first tool we launched. It was the one we saw almost immediate demand for in the marketplace and one that's become our flagship. People come to us primarily for that and then find out we have a lot of other really useful tools and data points we kind of gather against. In terms of where we put our focus and our attention, we probably spend more time looking at things like citations, listings, reviews. They're actually on rankings because we think that is probably where the future is going to be in terms of local reporting and necessity for local data as ranking data becomes harder and harder to track naturally.
So yes, we're very well known for it, but it's probably not where we actually spend most of our time and effort.
MD: Now what I think a lot of agencies probably do not understand is the depth of the ranking data that you do provide. In my opinion, you guys are the number 1 ranking data provider in the world, but I don't think people understand you provide ranking data on third party sites as well. Like if you're mentioned on a press release or on a blog or on a local directory, you can track those rankings and take screenshots of it and you carry that history. I think most people don't know that. But what made you guys turn in the direction to say "You know what? We not only have to track their website…." And you guys are starting to track, literally, every single portion of a client's online real estate, which is completely groundbreaking.
MA: Yes, so you can track via mentions of your current URL, you can track multiple URLs, you can track via a mention of your business name or keywords that are related to you. In doing that, we're able to track rankings within the main search engines, but not just for you website but any of those key online listings you have. Your video channel on YouTube, your Facebook profile etc. Therefore, you get a much more holistic sense of your visibility online.
There are so many touch points for a business on the Internet these days. It's not just about a website, it's about all these other important profiles you've got on the likes of Facebook, Twitter, even Foursquare, going down to classic local directories or review sites like TripAdvisor, Yelp, CitySearch etc. Those are all places customers can find you, find about your business and ultimately contact you. So it's important to know what's your entire footprint in terms of the kind of visibility you're having. It's no longer just purely about your website. So in particular, local businesses can really utilize these other channels.
So that's where the diversity of opportunities for local marketing is so great for local businesses online. They're much more significant and greater than a pure web-based business because you've got all these other channels which customers can find you. And you can aggregate all the visitor numbers that go through the likes of Yelp, CitySearch and all these other channels. They balance out Google. So you've got Google as one source of traffic then you've got all of these secondary and tertiary traffic opportunities which if you really make the most of and you optimize where keep your data clear and complete, then you start to add up significant extra customer sources.
MD: I would assume one of the reasons why you're, to my knowledge, the only company presenting that sort of data in the format that you do is probably difficult. What difficulties do you have in handling and storing that massive amount of data?
MA: We have a lot. In fact, we're just in the process of rolling out a change that's part of our database to enable our interfaces to work faster and with less delay. Some of our databases are so enormous; you've got a couple of database tables that have an upwards of 300 million rows in them. Once you start getting into that much data, you've got to get shrewd and clever about the way you store it, the way you query it, the way you pull it back. We spend a lot of time and effort looking at ways we can future proof ourselves for that kind of growth and volume and scale that we're getting to now. It's pretty unglamorous work because it's very hard to showcase a small, backend change you've made to a customer, whereas it means keeping our service on the rails for longer and better job. But it's hard to point and show them the direct benefit of that, which I always find frustrating. My marketing head was keen to market that the news and the services and the data we provide is very hard to do, but is absolutely essential. We allocate about 30% of our time and resources into those types of projects.
MD: That's massive. I don't think most people would realize how difficult it is to handle that amount of data. We're talking about gigs worth of data that're just words. Not images, not videos, just words that add up to gigs.
So, not to put you on the spot here, you offer several types of reporting to people. If you had to choose just one of them, which do you think is the most important reporting to say, for an agency to be offering to a local business provider? Maybe it's a chiropractor or an optometrist or a plumber. Which report would that be that you offer and why?
MA: The most used report is definitely our ranking report. I think what's interesting when you're reporting for a local business or local business owners is that online marketing can be a bit of a minefield. There's all this jargon and confusion around what's important and what's this terminology mean. Once you start getting into the nitty-gritty of on-site SEO and content marketing, people can glaze over, particularly if they're busy and they've got a thousand things they need to do. There are certain reporting metrics local resellers can grasp that are more tangible to them. One is rankings because of their uses of Google. When they need to find something, they go to Google, click on a link on page one and they buy it or they can source it. They understand; they can put themselves in the shoes of their own customers. When they see themselves ranking highly, they can understand how that's going to translate to a business for them. Even if it's not a great metric and it certainly doesn't immediately equate to sales and revenue, but they can understand and put themselves in their customers' shoes.
Similarly, you've got things like your online listings. Is your address recorded accurately? Is it all the relevant information? A business owner who has a physical business understands the importance of their address correctly listed. It's such a basic requirement for bringing customers to a business to make sure they have the right address. When they see things like incorrect address information in citation reports, that immediately irks them because they understand why that's a bad thing. They've been driving their customers into the hands of their competitors. I think it's about finding things that are tangible to a busy local business owner and understand.
Reputation is another one. Having a good reputation is as old as time and having a bad online review, which can be seen by thousands of people, thousands of potential customers, is again very irking and frustrating for local business owners. They can see those dollars drifting away from them because of that.
So I think our rankings and citation reports are the two that are the most heavily used. We have one tool that is grossly underused by our customer base and that's our Google local wizard tool. That actually has the highest volume of data and the most aggregation of work in putting those reports together. But it's a great benchmarking tool. It allows you to see your optimization flow, your Google+ Local or your Google Places page. You also get citations but it benchmarks you against the top ten performing businesses in your city and categories. It could be "chiropractor in Miami" and you could see how you stack up against the top ten in a very easy, side by side view. Agencies who really use us to the fullest use us as a great way of understanding an initial audit situation for a business: how they're doing, how they're stacking up against their competitors, which areas we should focus on and then using ongoing reporting through that to track progress.
So for me, there's simplicity in reporting in our ranking tool, our citation tool gives a lot of end clients what they need. But I actually think our Google+ wizard tool is the most powerful because it has all that data drawn into it and is nicely presented.
MD: Very nice. Yeah, benchmarking rankings is where you're at and Google+ is definitely vital. Having the capability to show where your clients benchmark that versus other competitors is not easy to do.
MA: A lot of our customers use our reports for lead generation as well. They run a report and they use it as a talking document when they go in and talk to a business. Again, it's touching on and understanding what's going to concern or frustrate a local business owner. And often it's about seeing where basic information is wrong and where their competitor is getting it right. They make some small changes here and there, they can steal their potential clients away from their competitors.
MD: Absolutely. Can you give the listeners any idea or any special project that you may be currently working on? Or any unreleased products or reports that may be there in the near future that you might want to give us a couple of hints to?
MA: Yeah! So we're adding into our citation tracker reports- in America then to all other countries- the ability to track your name, address, phone number information across the top 50 sites. We actually released that this afternoon into a beta test with about a dozen customers. So that's something we'll be rolling out; a really powerful new addition to that particular tool. We're also looking to strengthen and deepen the data we can get in that area.
We're also working on a new holistic dashboard. At the moment you have ranking data, ranking report, citation data and citation report. We created a nice little dashboard that draws all that information into one central dashboard that you can see. The full 360 view of your marketing situation. Those are the two big projects that we're working on now and the next few months. Then we've just been planning our product road map for 2015, which looks very exciting. A whole wealth of different projects on there which will currently increase our massive data gathering abilities, but also hopefully improve the presentation of that data and make that data more useful and tangible to our customers.
I'm really excited about what's coming up next year. This year has probably been a year of consolidation for us and next year is a year of growth and advancement. Which is great because, as a product guy, that's what I like to see and in doing that, we're looking to invest more in our team. We're taking our development team from six up to ten, so we're always going to be doubling our capacity through doing that. So next year is definitely going to be a great year. It's going to be a stepping stone year for BrightLocal to go from the service we're currently providing to a service that is exponentially better than what we've got today.
MD: Well I think if all the listeners and many of them might not already be using your reporting technologies if they're aware of all the different types of reporting formats and services that you offer, they can imagine being pulled into one, 360 view dashboard. That's going to be an amazing release for you guys and definitely something for everyone to be looking out for.
MA: I think so too.
MD: So Myles. The last question that I have for you here. What is the favorite part about your job?
MA: So my job has changed a lot. We're entirely self-funded, reinvested the profits we've made to grow the business. If you asked me that two years ago, my job had 10 or 12 different parts to it, which involved everything from ordering the tea to getting the milk right up to sales and marketing and everything else. We've gradually been able to bring in specialists to certain areas such as marketing, customer service, project management. So I've been lucky enough to move away parts my job that are less critical to the service we provide. The three years I've enjoyed the most are the product side of it, so defining what our customers need, talking with our customers, and then implementing the developments and changes into the service. The marketing I really enjoy as well. The webinars and the interviews that we get to do. I get to meet and talk with some wonderfully intelligent people and I always end up learning a lot. So I really enjoy that.
I have a lot invested in the BrightLocal brand so I'd like to see BrightLocal grow. We actually don't do any paid marketing. We do a small amount of PPC, so all the marketing we do is we run content marketing, PR, brand generation type work. A lot of it very much has to come from within the business and in terms of doing things that we know are noteworthy and unique. So I really enjoy that.
But thirdly I also love the customer service side. As we get more and more customers, I find myself more and more being in the bottleneck in terms of customer support. So that's why now we've got dedicated customer support and customer support agents. I simply can't be available to speak to everyone. I still pick up half a dozen support tickets a day and make sure I'm involved in significant issues just to ensure we keep supporting our larger customer base to the levels they expect it. We've had to bring in a couple of people between me and the customer to get that done. But I do enjoy talking to our customers a lot because it keeps real for me what we do. It keeps me understanding who the end user is and why we do what we do.
So I would say product marketing and customer service are the areas that, moving forward, I will focus on. And I think that will be great for me personally but also great for business.
MD: Yeah I would say your favorite interests in being a CEO are definitely in the best interest of those using your technology.
Well Myles I appreciate you being on for the interview and for everyone that's listening, if you haven't checked out BrightLocal, go to BrightLocal.com. Certainly go to their site, check them out whether or not you're a marketing agency looking for enterprise level reporting for your online marketing clients or a local business owner looking for some of the top local online marketing reporting technologies. BrightLocal has them.
Myles, appreciate having you on and hopefully we can have you on again before too long.
