The Wall Street Journal just published an editorial (of which they were generous enough to provide a free preview) by the Honorable Morris B. Hoffman, a Colorado District Judge, in which Judge Hoffman audaciously labels "innocence" a myth -- in the specific context of the great work of organizations like the Innocence Project, and others working to undo wrongful convictions and reduce their future occurrence.
The author makes a veiled reference to "one of those innocence projects," to kick things off:
The director of one of those innocence projects said in a 2002 magazine interview that "we as a nation" would rather have the criminal justice system convict 10 innocent people than let one guilty person go free, inverting the famous Blackstone Ratio. Today, that project's Web site lists as one of its missions the duty to educate the public about the "prevalence" of wrongful convictions.
I can't say what the nation thinks, but one doesn't have to be in this business for long to begin to believe it. Prosecutors and police forces fight tooth and nail against reforms that are carefully tailored to employ scientific principles proven to reduce the likelihood that innocent people will end up in prison, and policymakers in many cases end up siding with them.
Maybe this is the crux of the issue. Ben Franklin said in 1780: "That it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer, is a maxim that has been long and generally approved" (a more zealous take on what is known as the "Blackstone ratio"). A century later, Feliks Dzerzhinksy (founder of the Soviet secret police) stood Ben Franklin's "long approved" maxim on its head, proclaiming it "better to execute ten innocent men than to leave one guilty man alive." Maybe what we are observing is two conflicting views of the world -- and the value of human liberty -- fundamentally at odds.
When you can't convince law enforcement agencies to implement simple measures like double-blind lineup procedures designed to minimize the effects of their suspicion on witness choices, it starts to look like the Feliks Dzerzhinskys of the world are winning the day. That's not to say that progress isn't being made, but there are many rivers left to cross.
But back to this WSJ article. Hoffman goes on to inquire about the actual rate of innocence. Maybe, after all, these "innocence advocates" and the "liturgies that have grown up around them" (!) are worshipping a false idol, the WSJ author/judge implies. Apparently out to get these pesky innocence proselytizers, who "are strangely silent when it comes to that question" of the actual innocence rate, Hoffman tries to redirect the dialogue to a question of the error rate, which is what really matters "in imperfect complex systems." Hoffman appears to imply that if the "error rate" -- that is, the rate at which innocent people are incarcerated and in some cases, possibly executed -- is within an acceptable range, then the innocence projects -- which he belittles as both "mythmakers" and "innocence merchants" -- are in a tizzy over nothing.
But this brings us back to the Blackstone ratio, and a fundamental clash of worldviews that I think is at the heart of this disagreement. 200 innocent people incarcerated for a combined total of 2,475 years in prison is not an "acceptable error rate," no matter the ratio of wrongfully convicted to "rightfully" convicted. And obviously the work of the Cardozo Innocence Project, and the battalions of others committed to the same cause, do not represent the entirety of the problem. Other innocents remain in prison, and new innocents continue to be put in prison.
The "mythmakers" are silent on the question of the "actual innocence rate" because the problem of innocent people being deprived of their liberty is not a statistical problem; it is a moral problem. This is exactly what Ben Franklin meant when he said that "it is better 100 guilty Persons should escape than that one innocent Person should suffer": human liberty is not reducible to a mundane statistical formulation. Innocence advocates are silent on the question of the actual innocence rate not because they fear the answer, but because it is fundamentally the wrong question.

When the word "cartel" gets thrown around, people usually conjure up images of South American drug lords smuggling cocaine and brandishing semi-automatic weapons. Not many people think about eBooks.
Apple is in court today defending itself in an antitrust case brought up by the Department of Justice. The company is accused of conspiring with five publishers to take a larger chunk of Amazon's market share and increase the profit margins of eBook sales.
Philip Elmer-DeWitt of Fortune explained the delicious irony of this case: Apple is trying to position itself as "the little guy" just trying to make a buck against the massive corporation of Amazon, so it formed a cartel to drive up the price of eBooks.
The DOJ alleges that Apple, along with Hachette, HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin and Simon & Schuster, increased the price of eBooks by uprooting the wholesale model that had set the price of eBooks at $9.99.
With the wholesale model, publishers sell books to retailers who set the price for the general public. In the case of Amazon, most eBooks were set at $9.99. In the same way that $.99 or $1.29 has become the industry standard for song downloads (largely thanks to iTunes) $9.99 had become the consumer expectation for eBooks because of Amazon.
Apple wanted to increase the industry standard of eBooks to make it worth their time and effort to invest in them. Their profit margin wasn't big enough at only $9.99. Together with the five publishers, Apple is accused of forcing the agency model, where the price is set by the publishers instead of the retailer.
The agency model takes the power out of Amazon's hands for pricing and puts it into the hands of publishers. The five publishing houses that Apple is accused of conspiring with set eBook prices as high as they wanted and retailers like Apple and Amazon had to accept them. Apple got 30% of every eBook sold through its store. With the agency model, Apple just competes with Amazon for the better gadgets while taking in more money from increased eBook prices.
The case was brought by the DOJ because their plan did more than hurt Amazon. According to the report, it violated antitrust laws that are meant to set an even play field for retailers and cost consumers tens of millions of dollars more than they would have originally paid for eBooks.
Economists and lawyers alike are left scratching their heads wondering why a company that holds 90% of the eBook market (Amazon) is the victim in this case. How is it that the company that's making the most off of eBooks right now is getting positioned as a small retailer being pushed out of the industry?
It doesn't look good for Apple. According to the Telegraph, US District Judge Denise Cote who is overseeing this case already said that the government will prove that Apple created and implemented a plan to raise eBook prices. They're entering the court room with the odds against them.

We had a great time in Salt Lake City. Dan's conference went well. Sadly, Will got really sick and wasn't able to leave the Marriot for the whole time he was in SLC. I hear he's feeling better now. Dan took CJ and me to Big Ed's for breakfast. Then we drove around and checked out our old apartments and workplaces.
Dan worked at the Pie when he was going to the University of Utah. I worked at the Bookstore Post Office on campus. We went to check it out too but they had moved it. I did leave a note for my boss Susan who I love dearly. I hope she got it.
This is where Dan lived. He had the basement apartment. He lived right around the corner from me and we didn't even know it.
I lived in the dorms for my first year at the U. I hated them. I did meet two of my favorite girlfriends while living there. The dorms are gone now and that is kind of sad.
I took a photo of the Anthropology building because most of my classes were there.

America will never make good restaurant coffee
Posted by TheShot on 03 Apr 2011 | Tagged as: Barista, Café Society, Quality Issues, Restaurant Coffee
We've been lamenting the sorry state of restaurant coffee in these pages since 2005. But let it be known that, as of this moment forward, we have officially given up on the possibility of ever being reliably served good coffee in American restaurants.
Sure, there have been a few successes and battles won along the way. There has even been the occasional restaurant that made us think about what's possible. But reliably good coffee — the way you can safely expect at any restaurant in, say, Portugal — is a pipe dream. We've finally come to the stark realization that the war is effectively unwinnable … a lost cause. To deny this is to blindly ignore an overwhelming display of evidence.
Oddly, the bit of news that finally killed the dream for us — what finally broke the camel's back — was a post in the New York Times about Nathan Myhrvold's Modernist Cuisine five-volume encyclopedia set and Mark Prince's review of its coffee chapter on CoffeeGeek.com. We'll explain in a moment.
Restaurants' running coffee joke
Bad restaurant coffee has been the norm long, long before many of us were even born. There are even front-page references to this topic in the San Francisco Chronicle going back to 1963. Among long-anticipated social revolutions that ain't never gonna happen, this places reliably good restaurant coffee somewhere between professional soccer making it big in the U.S. and the coming of the Jewish Messiah.
So what about those two articles triggered such absolute futility about restaurant coffee? Both pieces were written with a kind of presumptuous expectation that quality coffee somehow deserves a place in the discussion of "modernist cuisine." As much as we love coffee, the idea is both audacious and completely misplaced. Located in Volume 4 of the series ("Ingredients and Preparation"), the coffee chapter follows a roughly equivalent chapter on wine. And that's where the comparisons begin to fall apart.
When wine, beer, cheese, and even salt have a lot more to do with cuisine than coffee
It is not even a question that coffee is far less relevant to cuisine than wine. Coffee may have far more aromatic and flavor components than wine, but it can never be paired to complement food the way wine can. The world is steeped with centuries-old culinary traditions of pairing local wines with the food of the region. And yet in the many centuries that coffee cultures have had to pair coffee with cuisine, to this date the combination simply does not exist the world over — despite the many failed, recent attempts to shoehorn them together. This is not by accident.
Beer pairings, for example, are far more relevant to cuisine; we received no fewer than two beer pairings as part of a recent tasting menu at Atelier Crenn. And yet there's no beer chapter in Modernist Cuisine. The same is even true for the modern phenomenon of pairing food with different varieties of salt. Thus this leaves coffee no more relevant and integral to the science of actual cuisine than, say, tea, after-dinner cordials, or even cigars or tobacco. None of which either have chapters in Modernist Cuisine, by the way.
We can make all sorts of excuses about the coffee in restaurants — such as how the "last mile" in the serving chain for coffee is far more technical and sensitive than that for serving tea or wine. But even if you solve that last mile problem, that doesn't change coffee's very limited relevance to cuisine overall. And the less relevant coffee is to cuisine, the less relevant good coffee becomes to the overall restaurant experience.
And the award for best supporting culinary actor again goes to … wine!
This might come as a slap in the face to a number of coffee professionals who are riding a revolutionary wave in coffee consumerism. (Note that we deliberately didn't call it a revolution in coffee.) In the past decade, some have even envisioned the role of the barista on the same pedestal that food television bestows upon celebrity chefs — or at least the expectation of rivaling the wine sommelier.
This belief is fed by a steady stream of people selling coffee technology and pitching media stories inspired by the major changes in coffee consumerism. All of which has given modern coffee a little bit of an egotistical head case — an occasional sense of entitlement to a rightful place in the pantheon of restaurant gods alongside pedestals for wine pairings, cheese courses, and dessert menus.
But baristas aren't at all like chefs, and that's a good thing. (If anything, they're a bit more like line cooks.) Baristas aren't like sommeliers either, and that's also probably a good thing. Specialization exists in a modern society for good reason: we don't want our mixologists making our pork belly, and we really don't want waiters and host/esses pulling our espresso shots. And just as head chefs rely on sommeliers and pastry chefs, we honestly don't want our chefs obsessing over our coffee service.
Either play by coffee's rules, or we don't play at all
The SCAA conference's "Culinary Track" is one of the better examples of how distorted the coffee industry views itself within the culinary world's hierarchy of needs. The SCAA might partner with the Texas Restaurant Association for its annual conference in Houston at the end of this month, but it is still as if the SCAA expects Mohammad to come to the mountain — not the other way around (i.e., establishing a coffee track at a restaurateur conference, such as done at Fancy Food shows).
For each annual industry conference for tea, aperitifs, cordials, cheese, and salumi, does the SCAA expect that restaurateurs will take time out from their relentless schedules to attend a restaurateur-dedicated culinary track at each of these events? Is coffee so egotistical as to believe that it is entitled to a role more prominent than any of its sister components to an overall restaurant meal?
The future fate of restaurant coffee
CoffeeGeek's legendary Mark Prince may have gotten excited by reading Modernist Cuisine's slagging of restaurant coffee standards, but there is absolutely nothing modern about this phenomenon. General consumer standards for coffee may have improved over the past decade, but restaurants on this continent are forever doomed to be laggards for the reasons outlined above. It's a pattern that has persisted for decades.
Why it has taken us this long to write off restaurant coffee as a second-class culinary citizen is a bit of a mystery. But like everyone else, it's time to get over it. Reliably good restaurant coffee will never happen. Not in our lifetimes. And probably not ever. And the sooner we can stop pretending that coffee is some elite offshoot of the culinary arts, the better.

Hmm, I'm still a little bit confused, Greg. I also read the coffeegeek's article, and the interview with the author of Modernist Cuisine (MC) about the coffee chapter prior to the publication.
What I read is that the author is enthusiastic about coffee after he interviewed a lot of people in the industry. So the chapter which first was designed to be so-and-so pages grew to the 50 pages it now is.
I thought "Well, that's a good sign for fellow coffee drinkers in the US of A; After this, prominent chefs (and thus prominent restaurants) will surely put more effort in their coffee, and then the mainstream restaurants will follow suit. What a great development! I wonder if it will happen here in my country…"
Then I read your latest post here. Which of course jumbled all my expectations. I still don't get it : You "…don't want our chefs obsessing over our coffee service.". I still don't understand why.
OK, CMIIW : so you're saying there's a difference/discrepancy between "the fact" and "the newly set expectations"? And that it's only compounding the problem already existing in restaurants' coffee service?
And CMIIW too : you're saying that the coffee industry "asks too much" from the whole F&B industry, by saying that they should be "treated special, or we don't even want to share our specialty with you"?
Is sous vide the same with cooking something slowly? In SE Asia, some famouse stalls/hawker sells many food that are prepared for hours. For examply, the broth for fish soup is cooked in very low heat but for many 8-10 hours.
About the "butcher shop" analogy, in relation to coffee, I once read about how *$ in fact made the moms-and-pops coffee shop around it thrives, the reason being that people don't really want *$ coffee everyday on their way to work, and will go to the next door coffee shop to get a tastier (and usually more expensive) coffee. CMIIW since I only read it on the net.
In the end, how do you propose making restaurant coffee more "bearable" compared to current condition? Roaster doing roadshows from restaurants to restaurants?
Many respectable points. I just think that, like you have with topics like "Third Wave," you're hastily jumping to conclusions.
A good summary of my issue with your post is from your comment #7 above: "As for making restaurant coffee more bearable, it all starts from consumers' money."
It's really much more of a chicken-and-egg thing than that, and I think you've (very often in this blog, in fact) taken a snapshot of a specialty-coffee industry in its relative infancy and indicted us for not being totally successful. I agree that many out there are annoyingly presumptuous in certain declarations, but I don't think that accurately reflects the core of the specialty industry.
Also, making restaurant coffee "more bearable" is not the end-game. In fact, there's no identifiable "end game." Making ALL coffee "more bearable" is a viable mission for the specialty, albeit an aspirational one, don't you think?
I think that your commentary on the SCAA "Culinary Track" is interesting. Calling it "distorted" is attributing too much to the intentions there. The "Culinary Track" is simply about providing restaurant-folks with a particular engagement-point at the otherwise industry free-for-all that SCAA Expo can be. Chefs, culinary-school students, and restaurateurs DO attend SCAA Expo. Is it really "distorted" that the SCAA might take the time to help those folks with a specially-rolled-out red carpet? Is it better to just let them fend for themselves? By the way, there have been "Retailer Tracks" and "Producer Tracks" as well.
I continue to be bewildered by your blog. I enjoy your writing, and I appreciate many of your insights. However, you quite often seem to take aim at odd targets and arrive at equally odd conclusions.
That said, we should plan on getting together soon to chat! When's good for you?

Our Patron, St. Stephen
St. Stephen's was created a parish by Most Rev. Daniel Curley, Bishop of Syracuse, on July 1, 1928. The first pastor was Rev. Harold J. Flynn who served from July 1928 to August 1942. Masses were celebrated first in the home of Stephen Pendergast, then at Fitzgerald's Store in the village of Phoenix. The land and construction money for the original church were donated by the Pendergast family, the first Catholic family in the area. The original church was erected on the west side of the river. There were approximately 158 families on the church register. The windows we presently enjoy are beautiful remnants from the original church. In August 1942 Rev. Edmund D. Berrigan was appointed pastor of St. Stephen's and it was during his pastorate on October 1, 1951 that the land was purchased for the present church. At that time the site was a private park with the home of the Seits family adjoining. The home became the present rectory, the first Mass was offered in the house with sixty-four people in attendance. During the period from 1954 to May 1957, the present St. Stephen's church was constructed.

How to Use the QuickBooks Report Window Boxes
The QuickBooks Report window provides five boxes: Dates, From, To, Columns, and Sort By. These boxes also enable you to control the information shown in the Report window and the appearance of the information.
Dates, From, and To
The Dates, From, and To boxes, for example, let you tell QuickBooks what reporting interval you want to show in the report. In other words, you use these boxes to tell QuickBooks the month, quarter, year, or whatever period for which you want to prepare a report.
The Columns drop-down list displays a set of column choices. Initially, QuickBooks displays a single total column for a report. However, if you produce a report that summarizes annual income and expense data, for example, you can use the Columns drop-down list to tell QuickBooks that you want to see monthly columns. In this situation, QuickBooks shows an annual income statement, but it also shows columns for January, February, March, and so forth. To see how this works, take a look at the following figure. The profit and loss statement in the window is composed of only a Total column.
Now take a look at the next figure; it shows the same profit and loss statement, except this time, the Columns drop-down list shows Customer:Job. In this case, QuickBooks shows you a breakdown of your income and expenses by Customer and Job, as well as the total. The Columns drop-down list gives you a bunch of column options.
Typically, some options make sense for the report that you're working on; others won't. Nevertheless, you should occasionally experiment with this tool. The Columns drop-down list often gives you a neat way to further segregate and refine your data.
Sort By
The Sort By drop-down list enables you to choose how information should be ordered on a report. For many types of reports, the Sort By drop-down list doesn't provide any meaningful options. For some types of reports, however, the Sort By drop-down list provides handy ways to organize report information.

9 Reasons You're Getting Headaches + How To Manage Them: A Neurologist Explains
As a neurologist at a major heachache center, I see a lot of really tough headache and migraine cases. The hard part in treating them? A lot about migraines is still not fully understood by science.
They're believed to involve the trigeminovascular system, which is different for "migraineurs" (people prone to migraines) from those who cannot have migraines. So the bad news is if you have the circuitry in your brainstem for migraines to be triggered, you'll probably never fully get rid of your migraines.
The good news is you can get migraine relief and a change in their frequency by identifying the common factors that may be triggering them.
Here are the migraine triggers I see most often in my patients, along with tips on how to avoid them. Following these guidelines won't cure you from the migraine cascade completely — but it will help you manage them and minimize their onset.
1. Stress
Stress itself may not be the trigger but rather our reaction to stress. Anxiety, worry, psychological tension, emotion changes, anger, depression, and neck muscle tension are all responses to stress and can trigger a migraine.
What to Do: Take a break, even a brief pause, and look upward. When we're stressed, we oftentimes focus on those things just in front of us. Since our brains process a negative thought faster than a positive one, we focus on the negative and assume the posture of fear (hunched shoulders, frown, internally rotated arms and shoulders, and tension in our neck and shoulders).
Instead, if you look upward, you force yourself to consider a more global view and "get outside of yourself." Pausing and averting the eyes upward will help you manage your reaction to the stress.
2. Weather
People prone to migraines are more sensitive to all kinds of stimuli about the head, like hot or cold air and sunlight causing heating of the scalp. Weather changes, primarily the drop and fluctuation of barometric pressure before and during a wind-, rain-, or snowstorm are also a well-known trigger. Unfortunately, the reason for this is still not fully clear, making it a tricky thing to deal with.
What to Do: Since you can't control or avoid changes in weather and we don't fully know why it leads to a migraine onset, all you can do is try to minimize its effect. Stay indoors to avoid extreme temperatures. Drink a lot of water to avoid dehydration during hot or dry weather. And most importantly, if a big storm or extreme heat is predicted in the forecast, work to limit all other migraine triggers (which you can control) to optimize your migraine prevention.
3. Hormones
There's a known correlation between hormone changes in women and headaches. For example, during menstruation, the drop in estrogen levels will often trigger headaches, as does beginning to take birth control or another hormone replacement therapy.
Conversely, pregnancy causes a huge increase in estrogen levels. So when a woman who has migraines becomes pregnant, her migraines are likely to do one of two things: vastly improve or stop altogether. After the pregnancy is over, the headaches often will return.
What to Do: How to fix this? Speak to your OB-GYN about what might work best for you. Low-estrogen birth control can sometimes help, as can estrogen patches worn only just before and during menstruation.

4. Change of routine
"Weekend migraine" or "vacation migraine" are well-known phenomena. They come about with the change of routine and increased relaxation after a week of stress and hard work. Not getting enough sleep or sleeping in both act as powerful triggers of the weekend headache.
Plus, any type of travel — including the jostling of a train, changes in airplane cabin pressure, and excitement — can all be triggers, so many patients suffer on their vacations.
What to Do: The body likes comfortable routine. Try to keep one — even on vacation.
5. Bright lights and sun glare
Bright lights, such as the strobing effects of video games or the lights of a TV or computer screens, can trigger migraines.
What to Do: Simple steps such as taking regular breaks from screens, using an anti-glare screen, and setting good lighting can help minimize the effects of lights on your headaches.
6. Air conditioning
Some people with migraines cannot tolerate air conditioning for various reasons. For example, dehydration, muscle contraction, the circulation of allergens are all things caused by the cold air that could trigger migraines.
What to Do: If you already suffer from migraines and headaches, the best thing to do is avoid highly air-conditioned places.
7. Noise
When you're prone to headaches, all kinds of noise can trigger it to be worse. Excessive bass in a car, lawn mowing and office machines, knitting needles, or even someone chewing celery next to you can be a killer when you have a headache.
What to Do: Ear protection, headsets for telephone conversations, and keeping noise at a moderate level can help.
8. Low blood sugar
Low blood sugar can be a headache trigger. This has more to do with not eating regularly. Whether that results in low blood sugar or not, skipping meals or fasting can be a powerful trigger for individuals prone to migraines.
What to Do: The best avoidance is to make sure you eat regularly throughout the day.
9. The wrong eyeglass prescription
Wearing the wrong prescription for your eyes can trigger a headache.
What to Do: Get your vision checked regularly to make sure your prescription is correct. Just remember, your eyes dilate during a headache, so they're out of focus. Because of this, you don't want to be examined by an eye doctor just before, during, or after a headache.
The Bottom Line: Remember that these triggers aren't the cause of your migraines, but merely the "straw that breaks the camel's back" in patients who have the circuitry to have migraines. So, while these tips can help you curtail your migraines, consider seeing a headache specialist if your migraines are getting worse no matter what you do.

In a rapidly evolving business environment, there are big opportunities on offer for canny start-up founders in the B2B space. Speaking at CeBIT Australia 2018, Fergus Park, Head of Product & Portfolio Management at Amadeus, shared his insights on how to be a successful B2B start-up.
Park says the biggest challenges traditionally facing start-ups were the cost of access to technology and resources. However, that cost has reduced markedly from millions of dollars in the days of the Internet bubble to thousands of dollars today. Reduced costs means more tech entrepreneurs are now entering the marketplace, supported by increasing numbers of high-quality people thanks to educational advances in recent times.
As a result, Park says the traditional model of large international corporates functioning in a singular, closed-door fashion is fast disappearing, with companies now open to collaboration or outsourcing. While big corporates, protected by expensive barriers of entry, used to handle all "business problems" in-house, technology has now made it possible for many of these issues to be outsourced.
And that, says Park, creates opportunities for B2B entrepreneurs.
Park believes that "the sweet spot" for B2B start-ups lies in being able to address "non-urgent" tasks.
Large companies always have a long list of problems or challenges to address. However, more often than not, there isn't the capacity to look at them all, so projects that get pushed down the to-do list.
This is the great opportunity for budding entrepreneurs. Rather than worrying about sales figures (which Park says should generally be consistent), or spending time marketing to attract new customers, start-up founders can instead focus on serving that one customer with that one product.
The key to success, then, lies in identifying the problem and offering the best solution. So how do you do that?
If you've been inspired to start a start-up but would like to get some more tips, our How to launch a start-up e-book can help. Download it today.

Webinar: New Emotional Eye-Tracking – real-time eye-tracking connected with EEG
Attend this webinar with Sebastian Starzyński to understand how emotional eye-tracking can help marketers get better results.
Eye-Tracking is a useful research technique in the area where it is important to know what attracts human attention (e.g. advertising, in-store marketing). But it does not answer the key question – did the respondent stare at something because he liked it because he was confused about it or he was just not interested.
Of course we can ask respondents but unfortunately, we have to take into account a dose of error due to the fact that people sometimes either lie or are not fully aware of their emotions or behaviour. By connecting Eye-Tracking with EEG we answer those and many other questions.

Last night was a trip down memory lane - one of my most favourite Australian bands re-formed 3 years after their farewell gig to say goodbye their local pub that is closing.
From about 2004 until 2008 67 Special were a constant part of my nights out and always put on fantastic gigs - last night was no different. It was amazing to catch up with my fellow former "Spechy forumers" who I haven't seen in AGES and who are still as awesome as ever.
Watching 67 Special last night reminded me how cruel and unbelievable the music industry can be. This band is so talented and put on one hell of a show with amazing songs and incredible stage presence but they weren't able to "make it". It was clear last night that their finale was not due to their lack of passion or enjoyment of playing live. It just doesn't seem fair.
I wore my new Black Milk Mario Watchmen swimsuit out to the gig last night. I'm not usually the kind of person who would wear a bodysuit / swimsuit with a skirt but there is something about Black Milk that gives me that confidence. I have bought a whole bunch of their leggings and this was my first swim. I was worried about the sizing (after a friend bought one that didn't fit right) but the worry was unfounded as it fits brilliantly and holds everything in perfectly. My next purchase is going to be the Ribs Black swimsuit or Purple Galaxy swimsuit or the Tiger swimsuit (or maybe all three).
Peace & love

Homeowners need to keep inventory data accuratePosted On Tue, December 28, 2010
It's crucial for people to take proper inventory of their belongings should they need to file a home insurance claim.
No one likes to think of their home as being ruined in a fire or snow storm, however that is exactly the reality some families are forced to deal with every day. Given the potential for having to file a claim, it's important for people to be as prepared as possible.
KC Home inventory founder Rick Bell says it's important for home owners to properly note all of their belongings.
"If insurance companies don't have a professionally prepared inventory, and, more specifically one that's up to date, compensation will weigh in on the conservative side," says Bell. "Insurance companies can and do deny claims if there's no proof to support what's been lost, damaged or stolen."
It's also important for homeowners to know exactly what will and won't be covered by their policy. It's not uncommon for people to think certain types of damage will be covered by their policy only to realize they were wrong at the time of filing.

Group Effort
Posted by Cheryel Hutton
Yesterday all five members of Chattanooga Romance Authors (CARA) meet to talk writing, socialize, and put together their annual CARA basket for the Moonlight & Magnolias conference in Atlanta.
The first thing we did was have a meal honoring the women we've lost over the past two years. During this time period, three of the five have lost our mothers, and one her mother-in-law. The odds against that happening must be astronomical, and yet it's true. It was an odd meal, made up as it was of dishes chosen not to coordinate, but because they were dishes our loved ones preferred. The food went oddly well together, and we all came away satisfied.
Then came the main section of the day, the basket building. Our theme this year is "Southern Hospitality" and we had a ball putting our diverse items together. It's odd, how, like the meal, our uncoordinated effort resulted in an amazing basket. If you come to the conference this year, be sure to take a look—and maybe put some tickets in our basket . Actually, whether you put tickets in ours or someone else's, do give it a shot. There are always great baskets, and the money goes to support literacy.
After the basket making, we had wonderful deserts and discussed writing and movies and how sexual attraction takes different forms for men than for women.
I'm excited about the M&M conference. It's always great, but being with my CARA sisters, Laurie White, Nita Wick, Leigh Riker and our hostesses Kelle Z. Riley, makes it even better.
Have you ever made or put together something for a charitable cause?
Have you ever been to a writers, or whatever your industry is, conference?
Have you recently lost someone close to you? Tell me about him or her.
Have a great week!

I helped coordinate a charity auction for Outward Bound and got to write the descriptions of the donated items. That was a lot of fun to do. Rachel and I participated in the 2012 Charity Sip Blitz with Torquere Press and did it again this year; last year's charity was NOH8 and this year it's OutServe.
I lost my mom to ovarian cancer and a close friend to alcoholism.
I have attended many conferences and recommend them. It's a great way to learn and make connections. If one is an introvert, smaller regional conferences are a good way to stick a toe in the water rather than a huge annual gala event, though. 🙂

The Rutgers University Debate Union had an excellent tournament at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York this weekend! Five teams competed, three finished with winning records, and five Rutgers alumni came out to judge! Henry Phipps, a 2015 Rutgers graduate, even flew in from his home in Portland, Oregon to surprise his RUDU family.
Two teams–Kurt Falk '16 and Russell Potter '15, and Quinn Maingi '15 and Sean Leonard '16– reached varsity outrounds at the competitive tournament. Both teams won their quarterfinal rounds, and the two Rutgers teams faced off in semifinals. Both teams were so skillful, many audience members recalled the experience as "paranormal." In the end, Falk and Potter advanced to finals on a 2-1 decision. Leonard and Maingi now stand at 7th Team of the Year, while Falk and Potter made their first entry on the board at 12th. Leonard also finished the tournament as the 6th speaker.
In addition to the varsity wins, Rutgers continued its tradition of excellence in novice awards! Minal Kunnan '15 finished the tournament as the best novice speaker. We know he'll do Rutgers proud in the coming months.
Next weekend, RUDU will be competing at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Olivia Chow prefers LRT to subway #topoli
Save Transit City: "The whole thing about subways was started solely as a delay tactic by Rob Ford to make sure no new transit gets built under his watch. That's it."

Make TTC free overnight during cold alerts, Councillor Josh Colle urges
Toronto Star: ""On those rare occasions, when there are a lot of people who need to get to shelter or home, they could use the transit system," said Colle. "Those buses are running anyways. We're spending the money."This sensible proposal exposes what is wrong with charging fares. Fares are for rationing use, not for revenue. When you charge fares, fewer ride, and that raises the cost per rider by under-using the system. Since the buses are running anyway, why not make them free all the time and maximize their value? What if roads were priced with user-fees [tolls] at their actual cost? There would be a lot of letters-to-the-editor complaining about the wasteful nature of empty roads. And, you are correct if you are thinking that fares do not cover actual costs for buses. That's the point. Get it? Why play that game. Let's just decide what is best and fund it. Polls constantly show that people want more public transit, but the money keeps going to roads.

Paradise"…..a land where life is worry-free and simple. We all seek a place where all responsibilities are left behind, where having-to is forgotten and replaced with not-having to. Many foreigners found this "Paradise" in the beautiful country of Mexico where they find pleasant surroundings, affordable living and a wonderful lifestyle!Several years ago the Mexican Federal Government made it possible for foreigners, non-Mexicans, to acquire the "rights of ownership" for properties in the "forbidden zone" opening the door to the coastal regions where many a foreigner has purchased his "Paradise".
Many of these "property owners" partially subsidize their "Paradise" by renting their property to visitors in tourist areas who desire a vacation rental over the traditional hotel experience. The rental income helps offset the cost or "ownership" and provides a great incentive for having the property while also using it personally. All seemed well with this arrangement until a recent issue on rental income tax requirements began to surface. While the Mexican Federal Government welcomes foreigners to purchase the "rights of ownership" on properties in Mexico, it also expects the "owners" to abide by the Mexican laws governing these "rights". The pressure is on to get these "owners" legal and paying taxes as the law requires.
Foreigners Who "Own" & Rent in Mexico….It's Time to Get Legal!
I posted this article on a message board and someone named Buffalo Don didn't like it because it was from last year. I would be cautious of any landlord you meet by that name. As foreigners we have to do our part and do it legally.

How big a problem is counterfeit spirits?
The vast majority of the branded international spirits sold in reputable shops, bars and restaurants are genuine.
However, for the IFSP member companies the scale of counterfeiting of their brands is not the primary issue. Protecting consumers and preserving the reputation of brands is of paramount importance, so every counterfeit is taken very seriously, which is why IFSP was created and continues to operate, funded entirely by its members.
Methanol Poisoning Incident in the Czech Republic 2012
In September 2012, the Czech Republic began to report a number of deaths due methanol poisoning. Over a few weeks the figure reached 38, and there were also 4 linked deaths in Poland and another in Slovakia. The poisonings continued for some time and the eventual death toll exceeded 50, with many others hospitalised and suffering permanent health damage. The police quickly identified the source of the methanol-contaminated alcohol, which was being sold unbranded, and made a number of arrests, which led to lengthy prison sentences for those responsible.
Methanol Poisoning
Methanol, which is also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is a form of alcohol that is poisonous if injested. As little as 30ml could be lethal. It is used as antifreeze, as a solvent, as fuel, and as denaturant (an additive that makes otherwise potable alcohol unfit for human consumption) for example in methylated spirits. All of these have been and are being used by spirits counterfeiters, since they are cheap and easily accessible.
Counterfeiters will attempt to remove any contaminants from whatever liquids ('wet goods') they are using to make their counterfeits, often by adding bleach and crudely filtering through charcoal. This may leave particles suspended in the liquid, which can be an indicator that a product is counterfeit. But, to remove methanol requires the liquid to be heated to the point that it evaporates off (at 64.7 degrees Centigrade), which is a potentially dangerous process as it is a volatile and flammable substance, and which counterfeiters do not always get right, whether through ignorance, carelessness or greed. If the temperature is not high enough methanol will be left behind in the counterfeit spirit, and since it is colourless and smells similar to ethanol (drinking alcohol).
Any methanol that is injested stays in the body until all the ethanol has been processed. The body then converts the methanol to formaldehyde and then to formic acid. The latter attacks the soft tissue organs in the body, the kidneys, liver, eyes and brain, causing blindness, coma and death.
Symptoms of methanol poisoning include:
- Vomiting (severe)
- Diarrhoea or abdominal pain (severe)
- Headache (severe)
- Low blood pressure
- Dizziness or disorientation
- Blush-coloured lips & fingernails
- Agitated behaviour
- Blurred vision or blindness
- Breathing difficulty
- Convulsions or seizures.
While there have been no confirmed cases of fatal methanol poisoning involving counterfeited IFSP brands, IFSP's members take the threat of methanol poisoning very seriously and IFSP has sought to raise awareness of this risk through its training programmes, including working with the Methanol Institute (www.methanol.org) on joint presentations to law enforcement and health professionals.

WWW, November 2008 - Reggae News? That's not just a boring list of information that nobody is really waiting for. At least, not in the UK. At least, not according to the people behind the Reggae news UK website.
Self-presented as "The UK's Leading Reggae Website", Reggae News UK is most definitely an essential place in Cyberspace. One could argue about that self-description, one could not argue that the name of the website is in fact an understatement.
Sure, the website has Reggae news. On the frontpage, we'll find the latest news item from the website. A little more down, there's a list of interesting things "From Around The Web". That's just above a nice list of recent Site Updates.
So, why is the name an understatement?
Well, you'll also go to Reggae news UK when you want to book a crucial DUB and Reggae artist or Sound System. From JAH Warrior to the Twinkle Brothers, from Misty in Roots to the Disciples, their booking agency can get the artist straight in your venue.
Ok, that's not for all of us. Most of us will visit concerts rather than organizing them. On the other hand, it is always nice to know that the website has some contacts with quite a few of the Great Names of (mostly UK) Reggae.
Let's go to the Interviews, then. For that is a thing which is of interest to us all. Reggae News UK interviews Jimmy Cliff, Reggae News interviews Twilight Circus, Reggae News interviews the Twinkle Brothers, et cetera et cetera. Interesting reads!
Of course: there's an impressive list of interesting reviews too. DVD's, CD's and vinyl records are often reviewed even before their release date. Definitely not limited to UK releases, the website pays attention to every style within the rich Culture called Reggae.
Between the Sound Samples of releases, you can also find quite a few full length MP3 files. The Dubroom has reviewed most of them, just like the excellent Podcasts released on an irregular basis by the Reggae News UK website.
An interesting gallery, sometimes a competition with prices, lists of Radio Shows and a small section of Book Reviews? Sure, it's there. Among many more things.
This is the kind of website you put in your favorites. the kind of website that you want to subscribe to. The kind of website that you use to find Quality Reggae music and to stay up-to-date with so much more than "just" the UK Reggae scene.

Many people think of body detox in terms of juice/food cleansing diets but how about considering a powerful body cleansing process you have available to you all the time, through a combination of a healthy lifestyle and Pilates exercises? Here, The Hundred Pilates Studio in Dubai reveal inspirational studies on the power of breath.
In 1931 Dr Otto H Warburg won the Nobel peace prize for his studies in cancerous cells. He discovered a connection between Oxygen and cancer. He concluded, in a summarized version, that the primary form of cancerous cell is directly related to oxygen-deprived cells. He also suggested that cancerous cells are anaerobic and thrive in an oxygen-deprived environment.
Although toxins are removed from our body in by the Urinary system and Sweating, some of the toxins can only be "burnt up" and neutralised through oxidation, which take place within our muscles and organs by Oxygenated Red blood cells. A build up in toxins is what makes us feel lethargic, and can lead to us feeling unwell. Slow deep breaths also help to activate parasympathetic nervous system which is when the body gets the chance to recuperate, regenerate, and heal.
Joseph Pilates thought that "every last atom of old air should be squeezed from the lungs" so that fresh, invigorating oxygen could flood the body by way of the circulatory system which gets the blood moving and gives us that internal shower 'feeling'. Exercise helps pump the oxygenated blood all the way through the body to the furthest capillaries, nourishing them and carrying away old debris.
Read more on how to give your body a well-deserved internal cleanse and more fascinating benefits of oxygen in the system…

TORONTO • Michael Gollogly, the former corporate controller for Nortel Networks Corp., acknowledged in an internal letter the firm was using improper cash provisions to artificially swing a profit in successive quarters in 2003, Crown prosecutors said Wednesday. The executive would go on to conclude that no bonuses should be paid out as a result, "especially to senior management."
Mr. Gollogly, who is facing criminal fraud charges alongside former Nortel chief executive Frank Dunn and former CFO Douglas Beatty, even resolved to forgo $2-million in bonus pay and stock for himself, prosecutor Robert Hubbard told the Ontario Superior Court of Justice trial.
But in the end, he didn't. "He writes all this, and doesn't send it," the Crown lawyer said, showing the Toronto courtroom a letter from the accused dated July, 2003 intended for Mr. Beatty, just after Nortel posted its second profitable period in a row.
The letter was one of several documents the Crown used Wednesday to deliver the final thrust of its opening arguments.
Instead, Mr. Gollogly collected his bonus packet and the three accused continued an "earnings management scheme" into the third quarter, even as Nortel's auditors had begun raising red flags and an investigation into various accrual transactions had been initiated.
Nortel's CEO, CFO and controller would use at least another $127-million from a "cookie jar" of cash accruals generated from previous quarters to lift Nortel's earnings, the Crown alleges.
The Crown, through the documents submitted in its opening, suggested the plot to engineer profits necessary to hit bonus targets continued into the fall before the accused terminated it.
An Oct. 9 email from a governance employee suggests Mr. Beatty had given "amnesty" to those who submitted accruals in Q3 in order to hit targets put in place by he and Mr. Dunn, the Crown said. After that, no more.
"I don't know how else to read that language other than, 'This is the last kick at the can. After this, we've got to do it [Nortel's books] right," Mr. Hubbard said.
Mr. Dunn presided between late 2001 and April, 2004 at the helm of Nortel, once North America's largest phone and Internet systems maker. Through allged earnings manipulation, the executive collected $7.8-million in cash and stock rewards, the Crown said Wednesday.
Mr. Beatty was rewarded with $2.9-million in cash and stock on top of his salary, while Mr. Gollogly took home $2-million from the alleged fraud, the court heard.
All three men deny the charges. They stand accused of two counts of fraud over $5,000, which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years.
The Crown concluded its opening arguments Wednesday morning. Defence lawyers requested to delay their open until Thursday, which was granted by Mr. Justice Frank Marrocco.
The trial — one of the most high-profile white collar crime cases in Canadian corporate history given the former telecom equipment giant and national champion's demise — is expected to continue well into the spring.
