First, thanks for the linkback! Second, great use of Monty Python. And lastly, it's important to note that you shouldn't just go and pick a fight for no reason, but to go and argue a point that you believe in.
Pick a Fight!
"I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!" ~ Monty Python
Ok, so that's not exactly what I mean but who can pass up using a Python quote? Many people over the years have said that great writing elicits a response from the reader. You've probably read blogging advice (including some here) that talks about being controversial. Why? Because it stirs people up, get's them fired up, and one way or the other, they're going to react. Well, yesterday I decided to try that tactic out a bit over on JohnChow.com. As I said before, I really believe that John Chow dot Com has Jumped the Shark, however, there's no denying the amount of traffic and readers he has. So, I made my way over and made my feelings known on a few topics, but the overarching theme to my comments was that John needs to get back to posting about making money online. Now I'm quite certain I ticked a few people off (several commentators came to his defense), however, I know for certain I also gained some exposure and a few readers from it as well. Just this morning Egonitron.com linked to me in his post which echoes my sentiments about Mr. Chow's website as of late. Also, Erik from erikkarey.com mentioned he had also found my site via my comments yesterday.
As if a couple of new readers weren't enough, I managed to comment my way up onto John's Top Commentator list which gives me a nice link from a PR6 site which happens to be an authority (or at least used to be) in my niche. Granted, that link is probably temporary as it's difficult to keep up that rate of commenting while still providing value to the conversation. But, over the course of the last two days (I started my comment spree Monday) I've received more than 40 referrals from JohnChow.com.
Picking a fight or being critical of a very popular figure can be a bit risky. You have to be careful to represent yourself well and try to walk the fine line between stirring up emotions and alienating potential readers. However, if you manage to pull it off, it can be quite rewarding.
What are you waiting for? Go pick a fight!
Update: As Erik correctly pointed out in the comments, you shouldn't pick a fight just for the sake of picking a fight. You should be arguing or debating about a topic you legitimately care about and believe in. If you don't have the passion about the topic, people will see right through it and you'll probably just come across as a jerk. However, if you're passionately discussing a cause or topic you feel strongly about, you'll be seen as a champion for the cause. Another good point that I probably should have mentioned is don't hesitate to admit when you're wrong. If you overstep your bounds or say something you shouldn't have, admit it and apologize. If it turns out you're wrong about the issue, admit that as well. People respect someone willing to admit they are wrong much more than someone who thinks they're never wrong.

If you are interested in gender equality in computing, you may have heard of the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC). This event is held yearly in the US, gathering women – and some men – not only from all over the US but also from many other countries. The original first edition, in 1994, had 500 attendees; the 2016 edition: 15000. It is not surprising, then, that there is significant research studying the impact of this conference.
Gloria Townsend, professor of Computer Science at DePauw University, saw the powerful impact that this celebration was having on women in computing. So she decided to contribute in her area. I would need another blog post just to begin to explain Gloria's contributions to the initiatives of ACM-W, the Council on Women of the Association for Computing Machinery. In here, I'll be focusing on her ideation and subsequent study of celebrations of women in computing targeted at different regions. In other words, what we today call the ACM Celebrations of Women in Computing.
These events are often referred to as regionals, as they are celebrations of Women in Computing (WiC) held in one particular area. It is common that one university – or, to be more precise, one school of a computing-related field – hosts the event, and invitations are open to students in that geographical area, regardless of their affiliation. The number of attendees ranges from 50 to 300. Nowadays, we count with celebrations where professionals and students mingle and present their work, sometimes using languages other than English. This is particularly attractive in Europe, where events in Greek, Spanish, and Azerbaijani (to name a few) celebrate not only the work of women in different European countries but also the richness of the variety of cultures in the continent.
But language is not the only advantage of a regional celebration. Gloria Townsend presented a paper at IEEE Frontiers in Education 2016 where she explained the importance of WiC celebrations, and this included a reflection on traveling. Back in 2004 when Gloria was ideating CICWIC (Central Indiana Celebration of Women in Computing, now the Indiana Celebration of Women in Computing or InWIC), she quickly realized that not all women can afford to go to a different state (let alone a different country) to attend this kind of event. Think not only of the costs of the trip but on other less obvious aspects, such as missing class. With celebrations having such a positive impact, it seemed indeed like a shame not to have them more accessible to as many people as possible! So CICWIC was organized for a weekend, with students starting to head towards the venue once their Friday classes were over. ACM Celebrations are now held around the world following a similar model.
Regional celebrations provide plenty of opportunities to network, something that the attendees constantly express is the one of the best things about these events. They can also be stepping stones, giving women a platform to showcase their work and adapt it to bigger events by using the feedback received. One clear example of this is the Azerbaijani case. Their celebration with the theme of Ada Lovelace's bicentenary included support for the students to work on a poster. With the feedback provided, they could resubmit this work to womENcourage, the European wide ACM Celebration of WiC, thus improving their chances of being accepted. Many celebrations offer scholarships or some sort of funding support for students to be able to attend the event.
Gloria Townsend presented 4 promising practices to broad participation in computing: intentional role modeling, mentoring, building community (the networking mentioned above), and providing accurate career information. The paper goes on to describing the impact of the ACM Celebrations of Women in Computing on the attendees, comparing them to the numbers that can be found about GHC. It is the first paper where comparisons of pre- and post- conference surveys are shown, and scores are similar or higher than the ones for GHC.
Given the body of research showing the positive effects of attending GHC, this paper shows that ACM Celebrations are equally or more beneficial for the students. Besides women increasing their intentions to find mentors (or having found them already at the celebration), there was a large difference in the feelings of isolation (from 74% to 56% of the women reported this feeling). See the reference below to access the paper and read more results and conclusions. In this last section of the paper the authors give recommendations that are interesting for both faculty and students!
Nowadays many institutions around the globe are desperately looking for strategies to broaden participation in computing and improve retention. Gloria Townsend and Kay Sloan's paper gives them proof of one strategy that leads to improvement in this area: encouraging and supporting students to attend regional celebrations of WiC.
If you are interested in organizing an ACM celebration of WiC in your area, you can find more information here. These events are supported by ACM-W and Microsoft Research with up to 6000 USD. Part of my volunteering for the organization is chairing the ACM-W Europe working group on regional celebrations in the continent, so feel very free to contact me about your idea!

The paparazzi culture in the country is on the rise and it often irks several celebrities, but Bollywood's once leading actress Karisma Kapur says it's all a part of the game.
At the launch of the book Timeless Austen on Friday, when asked if she believes that a celebrity's personal life is public stuff, she said, "Every celebrity is in the public eye. If something is written about them, it's all a part of life and the game and we as known figures have to take it in our stride."
The 39-year-old actress was last seen in the film Dangerous Ishhq in 2012. She has no plans to do another film anytime soon.
However, she is dabbling with new things like radio jockeying.

Last Monday evening, we hosted the first Demo Night for the Cambridge Dogpatch Lab.
This is an idea that has had extraordinary success in our other Labs on Pier 38 in SF & in Union Square in NYC. The purpose of these events is to bring Dogpatch residents and selected guest founders from outside the DPL community together with invited Angel Investors, "Super Angels" & early stage VCs in each market.
A really exciting element is that these Nights are pulling in investors across markets. To the extent that a fundamental goal of Dogpatch Labs includes the cross-pollination of ideas, expertise & networks across communities & markets — this has been a great thing to see.
Monday night, seven resident & two guest companies who are each in the process of raising early seed capital presented their projects for 10 minutes apiece. Reaction from founders & angels alike was great.
We've outlined that we'll be running these Demo Nights several times a year in each location. Prospective investors can both track company-building progress as well as lay the groundwork for relationship-building with compelling entrepreneurs. And entrepreneurs can begin the process of relationship exploration themselves.
Another of the interesting takeaways from these Nights is that there is great opportunity in bringing the 'virtual founder community" together. Each of the three DPL markets is uniquely-vibrant, and each carries a different founder community flavor. In Cambridge, it was great to see TechStars, CIC & DartBoston folks attend, just as it's been great to have Hackers & Founders folks involved in NYC & Startup2startup folks join us in SF.
We'll be doing another of these within the next 60 days as a new Dogpatch pledge class joins us in Cambridge.

2016 is fast approaching and the most popular New Year resolutions are out in force. Colonic irrigation? Sounds painful but increasing in popularity in Ireland, taking out gym membership? – An oldie but still a favourite or just promising to binge-watch the latest box set favourites such as Breaking Bad or Homeland? Of course each year brings personal goals for many Irish people but the old favourite has to be losing weight and getting back in shape.
Once the holidays are over and the last of the turkey and ham is gone, what other ways are we pledging to be better people, and make a difference to our own and the lives of others? It's true that old habits die hard and just a many people this year as last will say that getting fit is their number one priority. Top of the list of our New Year resolutions is to stay fit and healthy with losing weight coming a close second. Spending less money and trying to save more is also popular, closely followed by spending more time with family and friends. Lots of people promise to be more organized in 2016 and of course promise to travel more or indeed learn a new language in an effort to exercise their brain!
Comparing this years popular New Year resolutions with last year shows there's no much difference in the choices of resolution but it's interesting that most people who undertake to lose weight don't actually follow a recognized weight loss plan. It's certainly well documented that RTE's Operation Transformation will be a big help to many thousands of Irish people who decide that this year they want to lose some weight and get some support while they are doing it. It's thought that a lot of the issues with weight loss and diets in general are the fact that people continue to snack and undo all the good work they started. On top of this people are also using the latest smart technology to help improve and motivate their weight loss. Of course there is an app for almost everything these days and weight loss is no exception.
Apart from the very popular heart-monitoring apps, the latest trend is calorie trackers, complimented with energy bars and protein drinks. With apps available either for your smart phone or watch, there's no getting away from the fact that there is no real excuse not to stick to your 2016 New Year resolution and reach a realistic target.

On September 5th, we celebrated the birthday of the legendary Freddie Mercury. The Queen frontman would have turned 72. During Freddie For A Day, We Speak Music hosted the stage to honor Freddie Mercury.
The whole day, Queen fans gathered at the Hard Rock Café in Amsterdam, where they listened to key note speakers, participated in a pop quiz and a music bingo. Some of them also dressed up like Freddie and wore a mustache. This is what the evening looked like.
It started with a presentation by Queen-expert Edger Hamer
Afterwards we played the Queen Fan Quiz. During three rounds, we were looking for the biggest Queen fans. The first winners won tickets for the upcoming movie Bohemian Rhapsody.
But the biggest prize was The Queen Orb USB Gift Box. A very rare collectors item!
The winner (named Freddie(!)), was very happy with this collectors item!
Queen Fan Caroline van Berkel was the second speaker of the night
She told everything about her backstage adventures and meeting the band.
People were dressed up as Freddie Mercury and wore mustaches
And we ended the evening with a big Queen Bingo
And of course a False Bingo was dancing on 'I Want To Break Free'…
It was an awesome night!

Professional Driving Tips
How Driving Like A Race Car Driver Can Make You A Better Driver
Like most of us, you probably learned how to drive in your mom's car in an empty parking lot at a mere 20mph while she sat in the passengers seat, wide-eyed, fearing for both of your lives. Thanks to mom's bravery, you can now successfully operate a vehicle with the rest of us who hold a state issued drivers license. Unfortunately, not every lesson learned by mom sticks with us. Each year in the Las Vegas valley, there are over 300 motor vehicle accidents and fatalities due to negligent motor vehicle operation. Granted, some accidents are caused by defective automobiles and other issues that are out of our control; the fact of the matter is that most other accidents can be avoided.
For over 100 years now, some of the best drivers in the world have perfected their driving skills on the track, where they learn pro-driving techniques that 99.9% of the rest of the population does not know about. And do you want to know what? There's no reason you can't head to one of our preferred Las Vegas race tracks and learn these skills, too! Unless you're terrified of going fast, in which case–I'm happy to spell it out for you (literally).
As a Las Vegas Car Accident Attorney, race car driver and life-long enthusiast, I've learned a thing or two about performance driving. Here are some of the proven techniques used by actual race-car drivers on the race-track that you should put into practice each time you get behind the wheel. They'll make your school drop off, errand runs, and work commute safer, more enjoyable, and they'll even make you a better driver!
Course Syllabus
→ The Physics of Driving
→ Vehicle & Equipment Maintenance
→ Mind/Body Control
As accidents are happening at an unusually high rate in the Las Vegas valley, it is only natural to want to prevent an accident, and heaven forbid an injury, from happening to you or your loved ones. The standard test we take as teenagers is a one-and-done deal; surprisingly, although the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles ("DMV") requires a drivers license renewal, they do not require you to retake the driving test (usually).
That fact is quite terrifying. And although the Nevada State Insurance premiums just increased, the number of uninsured/uninsured drivers the minimum coverage is still low when compared the potential medical bill debt you could accrue as a result of an accident injury. Therefore, we commend you on your decision to want to enhance your driving skills and knowledge of traffic safety!
At The Injury Firm, we want to see you and your families as safe as possible while on the road. Therefore, we have written this guide for you on enhanced motorist safety. Please read through and advise of any questions you may have!
If you wish to further your education beyond my free guide…
1.) Selecting A Driving School
You should know that most advanced driving courses include a classroom component with lecture. Although this can be beneficial, it is crucial that your course includes an actual hands-on driving experience. You can read about acceleration, but until your foot is on the gas petal, you won't have a genuine understanding of what you have read in class. You should also ensure your hands-on driving experience includes an obstacle course for students to test and practice the skills they have learned.
The more hours on the road, the better. So make sure your advanced driving course offers the best bang for your buck.
2.) Safety Must Always Come First!
Ask about your driving conditions and instructor experience before you enroll. Have they been in an accident before? A huge purpose of an advanced driving course is to simulate dangerous driving conditions, like slick roads, icy roads or sharp turns. Ensure they provide adequate safety equipment and an on-site medical staff.
3.) Check pricing before writing a check
If you wish to further your education beyond my guide, you should be sure to check pricing on your desired course. Advanced driving lessons vary in terms of cost, but the ballpark average we have found is between $300-$500 per course. Generally speaking, the is only a few days long.
You should also check with the vendor's refund policy in the event you are unable to attend.

A former Air Force fighter pilot and onetime inspector general for Pacific Air Forces will become the new director of Punchbowl Cemetery March 9, the Department of Veterans Affairs announced.
James Horton will be responsible for all administrative, burial and maintenance operations at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
Horton is currently the deputy inspector general at Air Education and Training Command, Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas.
A 1983 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy, Horton has more than 4,200 flying hours in T-38, RF-4 and F-16 aircraft.
From 2007 to 2010, Horton served as Inspector General, Pacific Air Forces, at Hickam Air Force Base, and as PACAF assistant director for operations, plans, requirements and programs.
Previously, Horton was the vice wing commander of the 354th Fighter Wing, Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska and commander, 79th Fighter Squadron, Shaw Air Force Base, SC, the VA said.
In 2011, Horton retired from the U.S. Air Force as a colonel with more than 27 years of active duty service.
Horton holds a Master of Arts degree in business administration from Golden Gate University, San Francisco. He is also a graduate of Air Command and Staff College, Armed Forces Staff College and Air War College.
"Congratulations to Mr. Horton on being selected to oversee Punchbowl," said U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono in a release. "As the only national cemetery in Hawaii, with more than five million visitors each year, Punchbowl plays a critical role in honoring the service and memory of the brave men and women of the United States Armed Forces. I am looking forward to speaking with Mr. Horton as he transitions into his new role to learn more about his vision for this special cemetery."
The VA cemetery has experienced some turbulence in recent months.
Former director Gene Castagnetti retired unexpectedly Sept. 30 with nearly 24 years at the helm after complaining about micromanagement from VA higher-ups.
Veterans service organizations in Hawaii complained in December, meanwhile, that they were never told about the availability of nearly 100 in-ground burial sites at Punchbowl, which was considered a "closed" cemetery for such burials for decades.
Hirono and U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard both looked into the VA's practices, and the VA subsequently promised to do a better job of reaching out to veterans service organizations.
The national memorial cemetery is the final resting place for 54,630 dead and has a budget of about $2.4 million, an official said.

Visual artist and photographer Eli Rezkallah has turned the tables on some of the most nauseatingly-sexist (and 100% real) midcentury ads in his latest project, In a parallel universe.
Last Thanksgiving, I overheard my uncles talk about how women are better off cooking, taking care of the kitchen, and fulfilling "their womanly duties". Although I know that not all men think that way I was surprised to learn that some still do, so I went on to imagine a parallel universe, where roles are inverted and men are given a taste of their own sexist poison. "In a parallel universe" is a series of fictional images, recreated from real ads in the mad men era, that question modern day sexism: showing it through a humorous light to spark a conversation through role play - a conversation that we need to have, uncles.

The Awesome Communion Cup
I am often entertained, and sometimes quite moved, by the things children say. During worship this morning at Grace, we celebrated the Eucharist as we continued Easter joy. A mom told me that after the cup was offered to her son with the customary words, "the blood of Christ shed for you," he responded with a bright smile exclaiming "Awesome!" After he received, he turned and high fived somebody.
It was. And it is. It's awesome indeed. I wonder how many of us adults are so used to communion, so used to ritual, so used to church, and so used to Easter that we develop a selective amnesia, not so much about the meaning but about the power. It's awesome all right. It's electrifying. That cup should send us into a spine tingling frenzy of joy, because it's our cup of redemption.
I know one child who truly worshipped today.
"The do it yourself, self-help culture of North America has so thoroughly permeated our imagination that we ordinarily don't give attention to the biggest thing of all -- resurrection. And the reason we don't is because resurrection isn't something we can use or control or manipulate or improve on." - Eugene Peterson, "Living the Resurrection"

Covering the history of the United States through celluloid film, the series started with one of the earliest films,' The Kiss' by Thomas Edison. We were to bring it up to the current day but there was a dispute between the authors and the production company. Only 12 episodes were completed and I gave up my dream of accepting the, "Best Assistant to the Producer" award at the Emmy's.
Still, I had a television credit, made some money, picked up three college credits and was in complete awe of the historical footage. My job was to help select footage and time it with a stop watch while Jack wrote the narration on a IBM selectric. Jack had retired as news producer of the 'Today' Show and even then he thought it, "show-boat journalism." God knows what he would think of it today.
I have a cassette of Jack from a phone conversation we had just after I graduated. The deep rumble of his voice takes me back to the dinners in his home, his stories of the A.P. in London during WW II and the talks we had while working on the series. Of my mentors -- Jack was my favorite.
With dreams of writing for television long gone - a friend called me at work years later to tell me Jack had passed away. I turned my chair to look out the office window and saw Jack's face. A dead ringer for Alec Guiness in Smiley's People. His stories came back . So did the dinners and the history of the American Diary. I thought of the bridges he let me write. A sentence or two to wind it up before a commercial break. The opening sentence after the break. I still remember each and every one.
My VHS tapes were lost years ago but I recently found the series streaming on the Internet. It's not Ken Burns. But the writing is clean, the footage still amazing and the memories as clear as ever. I've also noticed we didn't use any hawk screams. Click here for a clip and let me know if you want patch pockets.

I came in with Quin and 12 other dogs from the same house. I have been in my foster home about a year now and it's been tough on me. By the looks of all the scars on my face, I've been beat up many times. I was extremely nervous and timid when I first arrived. I would bark and growl and even lunge at my foster mom. I was so scared I did not know what else to do. Thankfully my foster mom understood how difficult it was for me with all the new changes. I mean really, take me away from the only home I ever knew with many other dogs and put me in a strange place with nothing familiar, I'm going to be scared and defensive. Today, I'm a much different girl. I still bark sometimes but I am wagging my tail and super happy to see my foster mom and will roll over for pets. I still have a lot to learn but the good news is I'm trying and making progress.
I'm a Sanctuary Animal
What's a sanctuary animal? Sanctuary animals are permanent wards of SCARS due to medical conditions or behavioural issues and we are not likely to ever find an adoptive family.
SCARS is committed to giving these animals a home and the love, care and attention they deserve! We house them at our two main intake facilities.
We look to businesses to sponsor Sactuary Animals to help us offset the cost of housing them.

Enrica described how a lot of valuable knowledge sharing can happen during a simple event such as having a cup of coffee with friends and colleagues. She illustrated this point by explaining how the jointly-organised Share Fair between Bioversity International, CGIAR and its ICT-KM Program, FAO, IFAD and WFP- had many beginnings in discussions that emerged over a cup of coffee.
I think that this reflects an important point about knowledge sharing. It highlights that knowledge sharing doesn't always have to be rocket science, complicated, a blue print approach or even new. Sometimes we need to take a look at real ways in which people share knowledge and capitalise on these in our work life too.
Approaches like World Cafe build on this principle-emerging from the recognition that people gathered together for a coffee in a cafe will often freely and meaningfully talk for ages over a wide range of topics, made comfortable by the setting and format–more so than if put into a meeting room with a pre-set agenda and structure. The World Cafe approach mimics a cafe setting by arranging tables for people to sit at in groups, usually with tea and coffee available. With paper on the tables groups are encouraged to have open discussions on certain questions or topics posed, writing and drawing on the paper tablecloths and can move around freely to other tables.
I and many others have used this approach with great success. Some sessions will use this approach during the Share Fair.
So perhaps we should find more natural human and social activities in which knowledge is shared to modify for our work purposes–perhaps we'll learn from some examples during the Share Fair.

I'm bursting with ideas!
Any small business ... it takes so much guts!
Most rewarding: Exploring and implementing ideas; learning about issues you never knew existed; connecting with people with tremendous expertise
Most frustrating: I've learned it doesn't work to focus on this
Entrepreneurs often have a broad range of skills, which allows them to jump in when they are needed. That can backfire when others expect you to always been there or hesitate in taking initiative. You want to inspire others to give their best.
1) To stay in touch with the Source of my inspiration
2) The importance of balance
3) To trust my instincts
Julia Glenn Carter is founder and CEO of ZiptoGreen.
Some call Julia tenacious. Others say she is resourceful. She sees herself as simply a good problem solver.
The need for ZiptoGreen became clear to Julia during the summer of 2006. Three years had passed since the newspaper Julia founded had been sold and she was looking for a good place to direct her energies. Turning on the T.V. one afternoon, she found NASA scientist James Hansen telling the world 10 years remained before climate change reached an irreversible tipping point. That was an issue was worthy of her effort, she thought!
After weeks of research, Julia was convinced climate change was more serious an issue than most people realized. She was also clear why consumers were not engaged in the solution. There was no focal point for the thousands of resources available to them. Experience told her the solution had to be made easy for them. Over the next year and a half, Julia continued her research, engaged stakeholders and perfected ZiptoGreen's business plan.
In January 2008, someone finally took notice of Julia's solution. Walt Bryde—a fellow Leadership DeKalb graduate, Rotary member and long-standing CPA—told Julia he might not be quite as excited as she was about her plans, but he was pretty close. With Walt's support, the building of a corporation and world-class Web project began. Within months, dozens of individuals, businesses and community leaders were contributing to the building of ZiptoGreen.
About Julia's Background
Julia returned to her home state of Georgia after graduating from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1983. In 1992, she founded the Community Review newspaper in central DeKalb County, where she served as publisher and editor in chief for 10 years. A weekly, subscription newspaper, the Community Journal, was later added. She received two Excellence in Media awards from the Professional Association of Georgia Educators, an honorary recognition award from the Georgia Bar Association, and a Community Service Award in 2003 from the DeKalb League of Women Voters.
She's been a member of Leadership DeKalb and Decatur Rotary since 1997, and has served on the board of directors of numerous community service organizations, including the DeKalb Library Foundation, DeKalb Rape Crisis Center and Decatur Rotary.

KinderGARDENS L is for Lilly
Anna has been at both sets of her grandparents these past weeks so its just Lilly and me in the garden in the mornings. Doesn't everyone have a garden fairy?
Lilly has a spot where she moves dirt, sand and sticks. This keeps her occupied and keeps her from sitting on tomato plants or petting the peppers.
We harvested our garlic and like Lilly they are tiny.
This is our sunflower house. Right now only two sides are growing and this is the second planting. I wonder if it will get over 3 feet. Ryan says next year the girls get a cucumber house since we know we can grow that.

The primary focus of this thesis is a comparison of the mathematical and anatomical methods commonly used to estimate living stature to determine which method gives the most accurate and reliable results when working with modern skeletal individuals in a North American forensic setting. Four primary stature estimation methods are compared: the regression equations of Trotter and Gleser (1952, 1958), FORDISC 3 (Jantz and Ousley 2005), the Fully method (1956) and the revised Fully method (Raxter et al. 2006). The modern study sample (n = 233) is drawn from American Blacks and American Whites of the Bass and Maxwell Collections. A secondary focus of this thesis concerns the adjustment factor (2.5 cm) suggested by Trotter and Gleser (1952) for the conversion of cadaver stature to living stature. This study demonstrates that this adjustment factor is not appropriate for use on the current study sample. This study also indicates that adequate comparisons of the four stature estimation methods can be made in the absence of such a conversion.

Summer's Over – It's Shark Attack Day on CSI: Miami
Everyone's heard of Shark Week. But how about Shark Attack Day? On Wed., Sep. 26 AMC is devoting all its CSI: Miami programming to episodes featuring sharks. Given that Florida leads the country in unprovoked shark attacks, it doesn't seem far fetched that this crime series would spotlight the state's most feared creature.
This female shark victim worked as bait for a private investigator looking to catch adulterers. Though she only guest starred in this episode, Barbara Eve Harris went on to get a recurring role on the original series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2011-2012).
"Wet Foot/Dry Foot"
Castro. Cocaine. A corpse in the belly of a shark. Politics and drugs come into play when a group of fishermen catch a shark off the coast of Miami. This one's from the show's first season when Kim Delaney was in the cast.
"Blood in the Water"
A family is trapped on a yacht that's slowly burning in shark-infested waters. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Guest star Joshua Leonard went on to star in Shark Night 3D.
"Open Water"
Bloodthirtsy sharks eat a honeymooner alive but who pushed the meal overboard? The ship's first mate, the conniving wife or the jealous step-daughter? Sherilynn Fenn from Twin Peaks guest stars.

How do YOU define fantasy/science fiction/heroism?
Fantasy generally involves the use of fantastic creatures and settings. Science fiction involves the use of fantastic (for now) technology. Obviously there can be major overlap between the two; that's why I like the term "speculative fiction" to cover them both. As for "heroism," I specifically don't define it. More on that below.
How pervasive do you think fantasy/sci-fi is in our society today? Why do you think this is?
HBO's most successful show is a high-fantasy epic. The Star Wars reboot came out as one of the highest-grossing films of all time. SF offers a special sort of escapism that society is searching for today, which puts SF writers in a very unique position.
Are these genres seen in a more acceptable light than they used to be?
I don't think they were ever unacceptable. Perhaps sci-fi was at first, in the days of H.P. Lovecraft and Harlan Ellison and others (and that's a very specific sort of sci-fi), but that's way before my time. I could only offer hearsay.
What makes a 'hero'? Would you say this definition is different within literature to real life?
Heroism is a concept that I find much too simplified in fiction as well as in real life. The definition varies from person to person – I doubt you'd find anyone over the age of five who would give the same answer. Is it a person who does good things? Perhaps, but what if they use undesirable means to do good things? Is it a person who obeys the law? Perhaps, but what if the person follows the law to the extent that other people are hurt? There is no basic definition one can put on heroism, or on villainy.
If you're a writer how do you portray heroism in your books?
I don't. I write characters who act based on their beliefs, their frames of reference, and their own capabilities. Whether any of my characters are heroes or villains I leave for my readers to decide. My first novel to be published specifically deals with this concept – of what makes a hero or villain, and who gets to decide who wears those labels. I personally do not label my characters as either (although for story reasons a few of my characters refer to themselves as one or the other. But it's based on their perspectives of themselves.)
It has been argued fantasy is full of 'tropes' – what are your views on this?
Do you mean tropes or clichés? There's a huge difference. Tropes are everywhere – in fantasy as much as your favorite romantic comedy and the last reality show you watched. They're helpful writing tools in any genre or format. Clichés are tropes that are overused to the point of making a reader groan upon spotting one, such as the typical damsel in distress. Some fantasy writers do overindulge in clichés, but I would stop short of stating the whole genre suffers from them. Authors such as George R.R. Martin and Neil Gaiman have made an art of writing fantasy while shunning clichés or turning them on their heads.
Fantasy and science fiction used to be seen as very male-oriented, do you think this is still the case. Do you have any experience of this?
In terms of writers? The field is certainly more even between women and men in fantasy than it was a couple of decades ago. Sci-fi is probably still more male-dominated, but I suspect that's by choice; the readership of sci-fi absent any significant romantic element tends to be decidedly male, and so men end up writing it as well, just as women are all over romance. I like being an obviously female sci-fi writer; it's a novelty I can market. But as far as my work goes, I'd rather get past sex and gender and focus on the material.
How important are 'facts' in fantasy/science fiction – does something need to be plausible to be believable?
Facts provide a basis on which the writer can build plausibility. For example, if you take the care to explain a hierarchal society in ways that relate to the real world, that will make the action in your high-fantasy novel much more sturdy, and then you've built up trust with your reader once you decide to whip out the dragons and magic rings. The same goes for sci-fi; introduce some technology or science your readers are familiar with, and later they will be more likely to accept that the spaceship just traveled from Earth to the galactic north in two hours. Don't just dump phlebotinum on them with a "they can do that because that's how this book works" hand wave. You have to establish why they should accept the rules of your world/galaxy.
How has science fiction changed from the days of Mary Shelley and Jules Verne?
I personally consider Shelley and Verne to be general literary authors, not science fiction, but that's due to technology pressing forward and the concepts they worked with no longer holding the novelty of impossibility they did when they were published. Hey, it'll happen to me too some day. "Oh, the Singularity. I remember that fondly. How quaint."
Fairy-tales, anthropomorphic personifications, mythical beasts and cultural fantastical persons are all about us – such as Santa Claus, St George, dragons and fairies – how vital are these for our identity? Are we who we are because of the myths our cultures hold?
It's the other way around. Our myths and creatures exist as they do because we are who we are. There's a reason so many widely spread cultures have such similar stories – we as human beings have a need to believe in a higher power, to create an origin story, to explain away the best and worst in ourselves through benevolent and malevolent beings. Agricultural societies always have nature deities. Hierarchal societies always have pantheons. And they're still vital to us, even as psychology and science explain many of these things, because they appeal to our sense of imagination, and they give us something to lean on and hide behind.
What myths have influenced your work?
All the myths I know. My own background means my works focus most on Abrahamic stories, but I've included and toyed with elements from Celtic, Norse, Greek/Roman, and West African mythologies, and feature anything from shapeshifters to kami and all in between. One of my own characters sums this approach up succinctly: "Everything is true, at least in part. All anything needs is a believer."
What are some in YOUR society/cultural identity, how are they perceived and why are they important? Why have they endured?
Jamaica's stories as they exist now are mostly those brought over from Africa in the slave trade, such as Anansi, the spider who weaves all webs and tells all tales. The reason for those enduring probably has to do with African slaves needing to bring something over from their own lives (including vodou, which is not practiced in Jamaica, but it is in Haiti. Just for the record). Unfortunately, the mythologies that existed before European colonization are not enduring; they were oral traditions and very few of them were written down before the native islanders were wiped out. A large part of my ancestry is made up of people who were extinguished before their stories could be immortalized; I suppose that has something to do with my interest in writing and helping others to write as well.

Bookkeeper 2006
Bookkeeper 2006
We review products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
- Reasonably priced.
- Basic accounting tools automate tasks required for tracking company money and generating forms and checks.
- Custom fields for records and forms.
- Depth and customization of reports good.
- Offers merchant accounts.
- Abbreviated setup.
- No online banking.
- Only one Chart of Accounts.
- No standard audit trail.
- No forms designer.
- No warning when invoice takes you below acceptable inventory levels.
- Records and forms could be more thorough.
- Payroll not automated.
Bottom LineThe only compelling reason to buy Bookkeeper 2006 accounting software is price; for $29.95, you get the basic tools required to automate your small company's accounting records.
Any small business that can afford to buy QuickBooks should. But that small-business accounting-software behemoth will set you back at least a couple hundred dollars. Enter Bookkeeper 2006, which, for $29.95, offers a passable subset of QuickBooks' features, if not its elegant and well-integrated way of doing things. Bookkeeper 2006 processes accounts receivable and payable, tracks inventory and payroll, prints checks, and issues reports. But the app has a dated interface and, more critically, lacks important features such as online banking, a standard audit trail (though safeguards are built in), a choice of charts of accounts, and payroll automation. Still, its foundation is sound, and it may serve you well if your needs and budget match its offerings.
Workflow is fairly standard, but I found some odd quirks. For example, you can't designate extra pay types (such as vacation or sick pay) on the timesheet; you must call these out on the pay stub. You can't see payments and aging history on an invoice on the screen, but you can on a printed copy. You must create additional deduction types for payroll in the chart of accounts. I found it annoying that I didn't get a message saying I'd overdrawn inventory on my invoices, but on the other hand I did appreciate that the Order Inventory button lit up when I went to my to-do list. Another feature I appreciate in Bookkeeper 2006 is its support for merchant accounts.
Reports are critical to the usefulness of an accounting application, and Bookkeeper 2006 offers plenty, all very customizable. You can even print forms such as 1099s and W-2s. But here again, Bookkeeper 2006 takes an atypical path to displaying the documents behind the line items: You get only a recap when you click on a line, not the entire document.
Overall, Bookkeeper 2006 can't match the features and customizability available in even the junior versions of competing accounting software such as QuickBooks. I'd recommend you go with one of those—unless Bookkeeper 2006 fits your budget best.

As a human being who has occupied the planet for a tad over 40 years, it is a slightly daunting reality that some of my favourite albums are having significant birthdays of their own. As incredible as it seems, a number of records that very much formed the soundtrack of my youth are turning 20, which to me is now exactly half a lifetime ago. As a result 'Don't Let Go' is to be a regular Across The Ocean feature, a nostalgic glance back in time to celebrate some of the truly seminal moments from that era. So with that said come with me on a journey back to the days of indoor smoking, flanno donning and scarcely controlled stage diving- the mid 90s. – Gavin Stocker
(Release date: August 22, 1994)
In an era where grunge and alternate rock heavily dominated, an unlikely band from Bristol snuck up and ambushed us all. Promptly dubbed "trip-hop", Portishead seduced a generation of indie music lovers with a combination of beats, spacey guitars and haunting vocals. As a result it was not uncommon to find debut album "Dummy' sitting somewhat incongruously on CD shelves rubbing shoulders with the likes of Soundgarden and Nirvana.
Commencing life as a duo, Portishead initially consisted of Beth Gibbons (vocals) and Geoff Barrow (programmer, drums). After contributing heavily to the album in terms of both production and performance, guitarist Adrian Utley was promoted from temporary to full time member. Thus the trio was born.
From the opening track 'Mysterons' we are drawn into a mesmerising journey. In 'Strangers' and 'Wandering Star' the band manage to sound simultaneously ambient and heavy. Possibly it is the powerful grooves evident in these tracks that managed to win over the rock crowd.
Delicate moments are plentiful too as Gibbon's outstanding voice engulfs the spotlight in 'It Could Be Sweet' and 'It's A Fire'.
The pinnacle of the record is 'Roads', an incredibly haunting song that still manages to create goosebumps two decades later. During the band's eventual 1998 tour to Australia the performance of this track induced a mass hypnosis as the thousands crammed into Sydney's Hordern Pavilion stood in silent swaying awe.
Then, of course, is the album closer 'Glory Box'. The line "I just want to be a woman" is as etched in our aging brains as much as any other lyric from that time. For a while there it seemed no night out in Newtown was complete without a late night juke box airing of the band's most recognisable moment.
So if you haven't given 'Dummy' a spin for a while maybe its time to kill the lights, fire up the candles and get yourself a glass of red. Sit back, press play and allow yourself to be seduced all over again.

Aug 9, 2017; Montreal, Quebec, Canada; Kei Nishikori of Japan hits a backhand against Gael Monfils of France (not pictured) during the Rogers Cup tennis tournament at Uniprix Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Eric Bolte-USA TODAY Sports
February 17, 2018
(Reuters) – Japan's Kei Nishikori survived his toughest test since his return to the ATP Tour, having to come back from behind to beat Radu Albot 4-6 6-3 6-1 on Friday to reach the semi-final of the New York Open.
Playing in his first ATP tournament since August, Nishikori had enjoyed straight set victories in the first two rounds before dropping the first set to Albot. But the 28-year-old regained momentum in the match by controlling his serve and breaking Albot's service six times.
"It was a very tough start. I think he was playing very good tennis," Nishikori was quoted as saying on the ATP Tour website.
"During the second set I started getting my rhythm back and started playing a little more inside the baseline and everything started working well… (I'm) very happy to win today."
Nishikori will now face South African Kevin Anderson who overcame American Frances Tiafoe 6-3 5-7 6-4 in a two-hour battle.
In earlier matches, second seed Sam Querrey topped Croatian Ivo Karlovic 7-6(5) 7-6(4).
He will meet Adrian Mannarino in the other semi-final after Mannarino overcame Spain's Adrian Menendez-Maceiras 7-5 2-6 6-3.
Nishikori suffered a right wrist injury in August which forced him to miss last year's U.S. Open and the Australian Open at the start of the season.
The former U.S. Open finalist has since made his comeback to competition by playing in Challenger events.

Capital One is done with the Isis mobile payment system. After completing pilot testing, Capital One says "We have gained valuable insights from our customers who were among the first to pay with the Isis Mobile Wallet" and has decided to exit the program, according to NFC World. It sounds like the "valuable insights" they gained from their customers was that no one is using the service.
Capital One informed NFC World that it was exiting the program because it gathered the data it wants, but that they may be interested in working with Isis in the future. What this move could mean is that banks are beginning to lose faith in the near-filed communication (NFC) mobile payment game. At the very least, it's an indication that the Isis Mobile Wallet wasn't working for Capital One. Unfortunately, that means it's probably not working for anyone else. The pilot program was only made available for participants in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Austin, Texas. The pilot is set to expand to the entire country later this year. Capital One could easily jump back on board when that happens, but it doesn't seem likely. Capital One was one of four financial institutions that signed up for the Isis trials last year. The other three are American Express, Chase, and BarkleyCard.
The Isis Mobile Wallet pilot, and NFC payments in general, have failed to gain much traction with consumers. NFC chips are not being put in many phones. Google seems to still be on board with NFC payments, having put NFC chips in the last few Nexus smartphones. Most other device manufacturers seem hesitant to sign on. Samsung, HTC, Apple, and Nokia have shown little interest in NFC. Google Wallet was just updated yesterday to make the app compatible with devices that don't have NFC chips. Other mobile payment services like the ones from Square and PayPal don't rely on NFC for their mobile wallets. Mobile wallets are beginning to use Bluetooth Low Energy, leaving NFC behind. Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T are all backing Isis, but this move by Capital One may be the beginning of the end for the Isis Mobile Wallet and NFC payment programs.

Dear Mom,
I've been going to karaoke a lot lately. Though I have lost my voice from overuse or holding emotions in my throat (that's a topic for a whole other blog post), I still like being around people who sing. And I am hoping to get my voice back to itself or stronger sometime soon.
The trouble is that songs years ago, that I really liked, and could have sung now…well, some of them are too hard to sing. Not because of the complexity of the song in my voice, but the complexity and utter anguish that it causes in my heart.
Did you know that my go to song when I first tried karaoke a few years ago was always Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper. It's a great song, and fits well in my voice. But I can't finish the line that says "If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting, time after time."

Wild Spider Anecdote
A Western that does have a giant spider in it is Wild Wild West. Follow me, won't you, as I flail wildly to make this horror movie related.
You see, "film-maker" Kevin Smith tells a pretty funny anecdote about a script he was asked to write for a proposed-then-scrapped Superman movie. The producer of the movie, Jon Peters, kept insisting he (Smith) make Superman fight a giant metal spider, though a spider had no connection with any of the other plot elements.
The director attached to the movie ditched the script. The movie itself, which was to "star" Nicolas Cage, got axed next, so Peters then forced the spider into his next project, the afore-mentioned Wild Wild West.
He was going to get his vision of a giant metal spider realized by hook or by crook!
That movie was an infamous bomb of almost Grindhousian proportions, of course.
So…how is this "on-topic" in a blog about horror movies?
That director who trashed the Superman spider-script was no lesser entity than the luminary known as…Tim Burton! Horror director saves the day!
Anything even partially Burton-related is totally on topic. Back me up on that when I tell the boss, ok?Read More
