Protect Your Small Business from Embezzling Bookkeepers Part 1: Checking Account
These days, too many SBO's (Small Business Owners) trust their employees far too much. They trust them to be loyal and hardworking and to never, ever steal from them. Unfortunately, theft happens far more often then SBO's realize, and it occurs repeatedly for years before anyone ever catches on. Bookkeepers especially are the most trusted of an SBO's employees and usually in the best position to rob an SBO blind. According to the book "Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control, "the typical United States Organization loses 6 percent of its annual revenues to fraud." SIX PERCENT! Of those who are caught, it is not a first-time event for the thief, but a repeated occurrence that can go undetected for years. Furthermore, if an embezzler is caught, they rarely ever pay back the full amount they stole, and they rarely ever serve more then a year in jail. So consider this, how much of your company's income can you afford to have stolen?
This article is the first of a four-part series on protecting yourself from bookkeepers. It is not written to make anyone point fingers or fire their bookkeepers. It IS written to protect SBO's and to teach them the most common ways that bookkeepers steal. By simply changing up your involvement in your books, you can stop embezzling cold and make it incredibly difficult to be robbed.
Here are ten examples of how I might steal from you if I were your bookkeeper, and ten simple strategies on how to protect yourself from my machinations:
- Always Open Your Own Bank Statement: If I am your bookkeeper and I am stealing from you, forging your signature is the easiest way. Stealing checks out of sequence and signing them to myself will soon net me thousands of your money in a very short period of time. If I were doing this, guess what I'm going to do when you give me an unopened bank statement. I am going to find the "evidence" and destroy it. In other words, I'm going to find the checks I wrote to myself and tear them up. You will never know the difference because the check will be out of sequence, and the only way for you to find out is if you spend thousands of dollars to have my bookkeeping entries audited. By opening your own statements and thumbing through the checks, you are going to catch every forged check before I get a chance to do anything about it.
- Lock up Your Checkbook: Not only is this good advice for protecting yourself from bookkeepers, but from other unscrupulous employees as well. By making your bookkeeper and employees ask you for a check whenever they need money, it keeps you involved and your employees accountable.
- Always Insist on Seeing Voided Checks or Voiding Checks Yourself: If I am your bookkeeper and I am determined to steal from you, I am still going to be eyeballing those checks and waiting for my opportunity even though you are locking the checks away and looking at the bank statements. One common way for me to do this is to get you to sign a check to me for "cash" to cover expenses, and then I say, "I had to void the check." In actuality, I did NOT void the check. I pocketed it and I will cash it the next time I go to the bank. You write me a second check, and I cash that one too. When the check comes in on the bank statement, you think nothing of it because you write me checks for "cash" or "reimbursed expenses" all the time. It's also your signature on the check…nothing out of place and nothing that alerts you to a problem because you just assume that you are looking at the same check "again" when you come across the second one. By insisting on seeing the voided check, I would have to write "Void" on it to prove that I am not lying. If Void is not written on it, then you need to write "Void" across it before you sign a second check. This way, I can't dig it out of the trash later and cash it. (And yes, you DO want to keep even the checks you void in case you ever get audited. The IRS will ask to see voided checks as well as cashed ones.)
- Never let anyone but a partner be a signer on a checking account. If you have your bookkeeper as a signer on your checking account, go tomorrow and take them off immediately. If I am a signer on your check, that means I don't need you to be with me to walk into your bank and drain your account. And guess what…the first time you ever piss me off enough to quit, that's what I'm going to do. I will either write a huge check to myself and cash it right after I get my last paycheck, or I will walk into the bank, wipe you out, and disappear off the face of the Earth. Sucks to be you…cool to be me. I'm in Barbados toasting your naiveté while you are struggling to keep your business open. Cold hearted? Absolutely. Unfortunately, if your bookkeeper is a signer, you set yourself up for it. Get them off your account TODAY.
- Never sign a check for a person or a company you are not familiar with. If I am a true embezzler, then I am going to "collude" with my family members and friends to rob you blind. How do I do this? Simple. I write checks to my family and friends and tell you that it is a vendor. You think nothing of it and sign the check. My friend/family member cashes the check and gives me the money, and I give them some cash for doing it. It all looks legitimate to you, and of course, I'm going to make it look legitimate before handing the books over to an accountant. Be wise. If you don't know the person or the company, DON'T SIGN THE CHECK. Let the person or the owner of the company show up in front of you with proof that they did the work before you pay them. Most people will not want to lie to your face, although some will. Always ask for proof, and always make them come to you.
- Get a Deposit Stamp AND STAMP EVERY CHECK THAT NEEDS TO BE DEPOSITED: Another common theft practice is for a bookkeeper to open a company with a name similar to yours. For example, if your company's name were "Smith's Distributing," as an embezzler, I would open an account called "Smith's Distinguished Products." Now, every check that comes across my desk where the payee has written "Smith's Dist." is now fair game. I can deposit that check into my dummy account, and I mark the corresponding invoice paid. If you purchase a deposit stamp with your bank name and account number along with the words "For Deposit Only," that badly written check CAN ONLY be deposited into your account. In this manner, you can save time looking over all the checks and worrying over every deposit, while also keeping those checks where they belong. IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT!!!
- Get Carbon Copy Deposit Slips: Get carbon copy deposit slips and only give one booklet to your bookkeeper each month. While they still can be conniving in the way they make deposits, it helps you keep track of how much money should have gone into your bank account and who's check was deposited. Instead of check numbers, put down customer names on the deposit slips, and you can quickly and easily see who paid you, when they paid you, and when that money should have gone into your account. When the bank statement comes in, grab the booklet of copies and match your deposits up really quick. Anything that's missing will alert you to possible theft and make you watch your bookkeeper that much closer.
- HAVE THE COMPUTER WITH YOUR BOOKKEEPING FILES AUTOMATICALLY DO A DAILY BACKUP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY TO AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. Not only will this save any "original" data entry that your bookkeeper has done, but it will give you copies that are easy to go through should you suspect embezzlement. By handing your backup over to a professional fraud examiner, they can tell you fairly quickly if something "is not kosher." Make sure your hard drive has a password that only you know, and when your bookkeeper splits, you won't be high and dry with a wiped out computer and missing files.
- DEMAND TO SEE BANK RECONCILIATIONS: If you do not know your bank balance, this is a big warning sign that something is not right. Bank reconciliations usually take no more then half an hour to complete. If it's been months since I (as your bookkeeper) have given you one, I am either not a very good bookkeeper, too busy to focus on what should be a priority, or I am stealing from you and I don't want you to know how low your bank balance really is. By giving a bank reconciliation to you each month, you can look and see which checks and deposits have cleared and which ones are still outstanding, and you will know if too much money is going out and why. Make sure you demand these and make sure you give your bookkeeper the time to do them.
- Keep copies of all reports from your bookkeeper. If I am stealing from you, I am going to doctor my reports. Period. However, I am not going to doctor original reports that I am showing you because you will notice at the time that something is missing. For example, if I give you a copy of the check register right after writing 20 checks, you are going to notice if there are gaps in the check number sequence, and if there are voided checks. You are going to want to know why. I will give you an explanation (one that you will believe) and I will probably want that report back. Afterall, it really IS a bad idea to have your business's financial information lying around. However, the next time I give you a register, I might have changed names or amounts on old checks and you won't notice because you sign too many checks to remember everything. By keeping originals, you can occasionally pull out the old reports and compare them to new reports to make sure nothing has changed. It will alert you immediately if something is different, and it serves as excellent backup should your bookkeeper ever pull a "Delete-And-Bail" on you.
So now that you have some fabulous strategies on protecting your checking account, look for Part 2: Credit Cards and Identity Theft now published on American Consumer News.

I know I love you
I try to run
I try to hide
I try to find other things
Other people to fill my time.
I can't escape you
My heart is drawn there
I don't know why
But it's just you.
There's no logic to it
It makes no sense at all
But all I want to do
Is love you, please you, take care of you.
I know I love you
For no other fills this void
This emptiness you have
Left inside of me.

It's been said before hundreds of times. Product ordered online, never delivered by City Link, tracking says it has been delivered with a false name as the signee. Essentially the product has been nicked! So, yet another mess for me and my supplier to tidy up. I have to say with so many things going wrong with regards deliveries, shoddy customer support and poor quality products - online shopping will rapidly decline over the next 5-10 years. Things are definitely getting worse year on year.
As a few other reviewers have commented. My Hermes courier will not set foot into an apartment building claiming that he will not go past the front entrance or alternatively will not deliver. This obnoxious Kojak with glasses on his forehead is the most defensive person I've met. I'm on the second floor and every other courier that delivers, I buzz them in via the intercom and we meet on the first floor landing and exchange signature for parcel. 50/50 - Win/Win. Today was a sensitive day, I was speaking to the Police on the phone about a fraud my dad is victim too. When the Hermes courier called, I answered the intercom and politely asked him to "please bring the parcel up". After 2 minutes - nothing, so I went down the stairs and he was just getting in his van (which his missus of equal bad manners drives) and was ready to take off. I explained I'll be reporting him for not doing his job and hi response, "you won't be getting any more deliveries then". What a gentleman and great asset to Hermes.
I can review on Review Centre with ease and without any stupid restrictions, unlike some, naming no names - hey TP. I personally am always open and honest when reviewing companies and the majority are. If you provide exceptional sales and support any negative fakes will be drowned in the huge amount of positive reviews.
A good mix of reviews is better than 60K x 5 stars that do not reflect the real experiences of buyers and so give potential buyers the wrong advice.
I personally experienced terrible service and blatent lies with a company called Kenable. I found out they pay TP to ensure their reviews are all 4 or 5 star and for anyone that posts less than 5 they have to provide their Kenable order number and personal details. This breaks the UK Data Protection laws.
So for me Review Centre is miles ahead of any reviews sites and my preferred source for honest reviews prior to buying online.
Royal Mail lost a £45 hoody when returning it to Republic for refund. Completed claim form 65 days ago. In this time received 2 letters from RM delaying matters while they contact Republic. 3 phone calls getting updates within this time promising cheques, still no cheque as of today. When I called earlier they said "Republic have not responded to our letters we now need to email them". Morons! I put my foot down and they are issuing a cheque on Monday. Why the need to push until they do the right thing?

Amazon is my e-commerce site of choice, but Ebuyer often beats Amazon prices and each time I've ordered, their FREE 4-5 day delivery has arrives within 24-Hours without fail. Very Impressed.
Design by robots for robots. A company built for one thing, to collectively monetise its user database. Beware!
My 17th Dell machine in 8 years and my last. Multiple problems over multiple devices in the last month and support is dead. RIP Dell customer support.
Vostro 230:
From new both screws missing that would hold the hard drive securely. Dell refused to send engineer out to replace HD even though it was making horrible noise. I had to make a few calls and shout loud to get the HD replaced, support engineer had no screws, Dell said it was not a Dell part number so could not help. I bought my own screws.
CPU fan squealed like a pig from new. Another 3 phone calls and they sent me a replacement, I changed it myself.
Missing 8-in-1 internal card reader as advertised in product description. Sales, Support and Marketing had no idea what part this was, yet its in the main Vostro 230 product description. 5 phone calls, 10 emails and they sent a Belkin external card reader. Useless.
17" Vostro 3750 Laptop:
Power-pack faulty from new and makes a high pitch noise when connected to mains. No way to contact Dell technical support for this machine so my online account says. Customer support emails ignored over last week.
Conclusion: I will not be buying from Dell from now and I will certainly not miss their inept and commission hungry Indian operated Sales, Support & Technical. I'm done with Dell!

Made a purchase and it was out of stock. Requested refund and it was confirmed. Phones up 10 days later, still no refund and no money back on card. And their support staff are extremely obnoxious.
My Advice ... Use at Your Own Risk!
Technology is not so hot, wouldn't let me update company name, vat number, email. They cancelled and refunded an order without first allowing me to update the above information. When I complained and gave site feedback was told not be be sarcastic by the manager Stuart who's approach is not customer centric, more suited to a car sales pitch. All-in-all a very frustrating experience.
I'm going back to Amazon where I have shopped, shopped and shopped some more - since 1998. For me Pixmania tried to imitate but could not replicate the e-commerce god that is Amazon. You have a lot of work to do Pixmania.
Letter sent to CEO.
To update this old review with more important information - eBay is now implementing a global cull of thousands of personal accounts in 2013. The shareholders have demanded it go after Amazon. However, this has backfired to massive proportions and the loyal sellers that got eBay to its current position, those who trade with integrity are being restricted from selling - forever! They essentially want an Amazon model, with Alibaba products loaded with new but cheap Chinese tat, all shipped free with a zero tolerance for anything other than beyond realistic seller support. And if you are still selling and buying on eBay; No more UK call centres, increased seller fees including a % of postage costs, overzealous buyer protection and a DSR rating system asking customers totally irrelevant questions all designed to entrap sellers into expulsion. My personal account (started in 2002 with 1600 x 100% feedback) has been restricted, because 3 customers over a 12 month period essentially said "I don't like paying "A" postage fee". A shipping fee which was charged to the buyer at 30% less than what I paid the courier, delivered within 24 hours and a fee the customer was happy with prior to pulling the "Buy Now" trigger. This is surely the demise of eBay as we once knew it. Thanks eBay!
Republic have started shipping via Yodel. You have to experience it to believe how inept Yodel are.
Simple order, with 2 parcels despatched. 7 days later we have 1 parcel that took 4 days to get here and about 10 emails suggesting its been loaded on the van, taken off the van, loaded onto the van, taken back to depot, blah, blah, blah. If you'd have taken a week off work to wait in for this, you'd be livid!
And the driver who dropped off parcel one was the dirtiest little scrote you'd ever wish to have deliver your nice new hoody. I think he works for a scrapyard between 8am-1pm and Yodel between 1-5pm and comes direct form the yard to drive the van. Filthy little Beeep!
Dodgy, Dodgy Tactics from T-Mobile. Had a mobile on contract since 1996. I've never used T-Mobile before and never will again, everything that could go wrong with this deal has right from the start. And the latest - Inside of 3 months of a new contract with T-Mobile via Tesco, I get slapped by an increase in monthly bills. A 3.7% rise! Absolutely Pants T-Mobile.
From day one, the company that handle the Tesco sales 20:20 Mobile Group of Crewe working with T-Mobile have been a disgrace. Wrong phone sent, wrong SIM then sent, Wrong Tarrif applied (of course more than I signed for), then wrong charge on first bill, inability to source correct SIM, plus more problems of course, including inept support .
Avoid T-Mobile and 20:20 Mobile Group is my advice if you want a stress-free mobile contract.
All the best
Sent products, very well packaged/boxed to Recipient 3rd Feb. Recipient alerted me that they received them with oil covering the box and this had leaked onto 13 out of 35 products. I got this message 48 hours after recipient had signed for the products. In my Parcel Monkey account it stated that I had until 29th Feb to claim so I emailed recipient for evidence to help with the claim, I received photos on the 19th Feb and opened the claim with Parcel Monkey.
I'm not at all surprised with the NEGATIVE response below. Basically Parcel Monkey are refusing to refund me anything because I apparently should have reported the damage within 24 hours of recipient signing for the goods. Way to change your Terms & Conditions when you feel like it Parcel Monkey. 24 Hours to report an issue is a joke and impossible. Shame on you Parcel Monkey.
Apparently Its official, Parcel Monkey are on the bare bones of their arse having just raised prices approx 70% site wide and like most internet companies they believe they can do as they please with customers' money. Unfortunately not with mine, they'll be in court very soon. I love a good day out.
Parcel Monkey you do not support your customers, and for this I am closing my account immediately and am now using [Link] and [Link] via [Link] to save on each shipment versus Parcel Monkey prices. I will watch your demise with pleasure until you refund me monies owed.
Message from Parcel Monkey:
We refer to your claim, dated 19th Feb, concerning the above shipment. We are disappointed to learn of the inconvenience that you have encountered
Parcel Monkey conducts business in accordance with its standard Terms and Conditions of Carriage; these conditions can be found on the Parcel Monkey's Website or at the time the order was processing. Please be advised that when you or your representative signed the 'Shipper's agreement' section of the Terms and Conditions, you entered into a legally binding contract and agreed that Parcel Monkey's Terms and Conditions were all the terms of the contract between Parcel Monkey and yourself.
Clause 5 provides that all claims must be reported to Parcel Monkey within 24hours from the date that Parcel Monkey delivered the shipment. Our records indicate that your shipment was delivered by Parcel Monkey on 3rd Feb 2012 and that your first notification to Parcel Monkey was on 19th Feb.
As this falls outside of the 24 hours, regrettably, we are unable to proceed any further with your claim.
The Hut Group that runs this website, plus a myriad of others (see the hut group main site for their full portfolio of website acquisitions) are apparently backed by Sir Terry Leahy of Tesco notoriety. They are floating the hut group so their one aim is to bang the sales numbers in, then they get a nice windfall of cash. That's all this is about - money, regardless of whether its a win-win deal for the customer or not.
Unfortunately the internet is full of these cockroaches. In my experience they blatantly lie, defraud, withhold your goods and money and use very malicious tactics.
Is this really what 'business' is about?

I worked at Mercy Corps as an intern for less than a year
Pros – Friendly staff members are very easy to approach and are willing to make time for you to learn from them. As I worked in a small team, I am directly in touch with Program Manager in addition to my supervisor, and they were very supportive and positive. I also learned a lot from them as well as other team members.
Cons – There are many different branches within the organization - so even though I wanted to explore Mercy Corps as a whole, it was a bit overwhelming to learn all about it. Instead, I had to focus on the work that my team does, in addition to a few interesting branch of the organization (based upon type of work and region they work in.)
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Mercy Corps full-time for more than 5 years
I have been working at Mercy Corps as a contractor for less than a year

Voluntary Withdrawal from ACEN Accreditation
Accreditation is a voluntary, self-regulatory process by which non-governmental agencies recognize educational institutions or programs that have been found to meet or exceed standards and criteria for educational quality. A governing organization seeking initial or continuing accreditation of its nursing program(s) may withdraw from the accreditation process at any time. Within 30 days of receiving official written notification from a governing organization, the ACEN will notify the U.S. Department of Education, the governing organization's accrediting agency, appropriate state regulatory agencies, and the public of the decision to withdraw from accreditation. If a program allows its accreditation to lapse, the ACEN will consider the program to be voluntarily withdrawn and proceed with notifications within 30 days of the lapse.

Panasonic 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens Review - Gary Wolstenholme reviews the Panasonic 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Micro Four Thirds Zoom lens which normally comes bundled as a kit with Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds system cameras.
Olympus also offer two 14-42mm lenses. Both their lenses that cover this range have a collapsible design, making them more compact when not being used. The MkI Olympus 14-42mm optic costs around £230 but doesn't focus internally. The newer MkII version also costs around £230 and focuses internally.
Panasonic 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens Handling and features
The lens barrel is constructed from high quality plastics with a matte finish and weighs only 165g. The lens mount is also plastic, as is typical with kit lenses like this. The size and low weight make it balance extremely well on the Panasonic Lumix G3 used for testing.As focusing is performed internally the 52mm filter thread does not rotate during use, making this lens ideal for use with graduated and polarising filters. Focus speeds are quick and the manual focus ring offers just the right amount of resistance to make fine adjustments easy.
The minimum focus distance of 30cm makes this lens suitable for frame filling close ups at maximum zoom, and is also great for shooting in claustrophobic environments.
With a little care, the optical stabilisation system allows sharp shots to be taken just over half the time at 1/10sec, which is roughly three stops slower than the usual rule of thumb would dictate.
Panasonic 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens Performance
At 14mm sharpness in the centre of the frame approaches outstanding levels at maximum aperture, although the clarity towards the edges falls short of good levels. Stopping the lens down a little improves quality across the frame with peak quality across the frame being achieved at f/5.6, where the sharpness in the centre is outstanding, and excellent towards the edges.Zooming to 25mm improves the sharpness towards the edges at maximum aperture to good levels and the excellent centre sharpness is maintained. Peak quality across the frame is achieved at f/8 for this focal length where sharpness across the frame is excellent.
Overall clarity drops off a little at 42mm, especially at maximum aperture, although the sharpness is still good. Stopping the lens dow to f/8 results in excellent sharpness across the frame for this focal length.

How to read our chartsThe blue column represents readings from the centre of the picture frame at the various apertures and the green is from the edges. Averaging them out gives the red weighted column.The scale on the left side is an indication of actual image resolution. The taller the column, the better the lens performance. Simple. For this review, the lens was tested on a Panasonic Lumix G3 using Imatest. |
Levels of chromatic aberrations are kept within acceptable levels throughout the zoom range. At their worst they exceed half a pixel width at 42mm and f/11. Even this level will be low enough to pose few issues, even in large prints and harsh crops from the edges of the frame.
Chromatic aberration at 14mm |
Chromatic aberration at 25mm |
Chromatic aberration at 42mm |
How to read our chartsChromatic aberration is the lens' inability to focus on the sensor or film all colours of visible light at the same point. Severe chromatic aberration gives a noticeable fringing or a halo effect around sharp edges within the picture. It can be cured in software.Apochromatic lenses have special lens elements (aspheric, extra-low dispersion etc) to minimize the problem, hence they usually cost more. For this review, the lens was tested on a Panasonic Lumix G3 using Imatest. |
As falloff and distortion are corrected by the camera's image processing engine when shooting JPEGs, falloff and distortion will only be easily visible when shooting in RAW format.
Falloff of illumination towards the corners of the frame is reasonably well controlled. At 14mm the corners are 1.53 stops darker than the image centre and visually uniform illumination is achieved at f/5.6. At 42mm, the corners are only 0.9 stops darker than the image centre and visually uniform illumination is achieved at f/8.
Distortion levels are typical for a 3x zoom lens, with a moderate level of 1.31% barrel distortion being present at 14mm and 1.02% pincushion distortion at 42mm. Throughout the zoom range, the distortion pattern is uniform across the frame, which should make any curvature easy to correct in software afterwards.
Even when shooting directly into the light, this lens is quite resistant to flare, with the occasional green / blue spot appearing in images taken under extreme conditions. Contrast holds up well, even when shooting directly into the light. A petal shaped hood also helps to sheild the front element from extraneous light.

Panasonic 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens Verdict
Overall this optic performs well for one that is bundled as a kit lens and as it it priced lower than other alternatives when bought separately, it offers good value for money as a result.The build quality is good and focusing fast so it should please most people who receive this with their Micro Four Thirds compatible camera.
The Panasonic 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 lens is well built and is quick at focusing. |

A Different Type of Activism
Can a click make a difference in the world? By itself, probably not, but when combined with tens and even hundreds of thousands of other clicks, it may just have an impact. Social media seems to be offering an opportunity for people to make a difference in the causes they support as they sit at home in front of their computers, and without putting in the time or effort that was needed to support these causes in the past.
There are a growing number of instances where social media activism has begun to make a difference where many of the individuals who participated never had to make a large time commitment which traditional activism requires. With a few clicks of a mouse and a digital signature here and there, changes are being made by a new breed of microactivists.
More and more people are deciding to give their small gesture of support, and when combined with many others' small acts, the effort can create a massive change. An example of this social media microactivism making a difference can be seen with changes taking place in the food industry where treatment of animals and food production has been targeted. Microactivists are also donating tons of free rice with a mouse click at 10 grains at a time by answering simple multiple-choice questions.
While there are still some that debate whether clicks and tweets should count as "real activism," there is little doubt that social media microactivism is a new and growing trend which has the opportunity to compliment traditional activism to create change where it was more difficult to do so in the past. There is little doubt that this new activism will take on a more important role as a partner with traditional activism in the coming years.

The boots fit and style is good. But the sole materials are lacking. Just after having 3 months (after warrenty expired) the sole started to fall apart. The Foamlike material between the rubber Sole and the Boot just started to disintegrate. By month 4 there were large portions missing from the sole. Returned to store but, they said not covered as after warrenty period.

I have worn the lace up version of this boot for many years with great satisfaction . I was looking for something simple to throw on during the winter months. The wedge sole is the only way to go, provides great comfort. I am pleased to report I got these on a 50% off sale! Unbeatable quality especially at that price.

The materials are very nice but..... the shape of the boot is so far off. The "medium" is easily a EEE in the heel and at least a half size too large all over. Not even worth the half price I paid on sale. Should have returned them! If you dare to try these boots, order two pair - your size and one smaller. Then return one or both after seeing the fit!

This boot is long overdue. It is more comfortable than most wellingtons if you stand all day on differing surfaces. The fit is a tad larger than most boots, not enough to go one size smaller, but a generous fit. A few hours on a saturday around the garage will break them in enough to wear for a full day of work. The original appearance of the boot gives mixed emotions, due to the color, it has the appearance of cheaper leather, but once you look closer, it definately is not. These boots are a VERY good value, very generous fit, and the sole looks like the diehard lace-ups I have worn for years that you can't wear out. I like wellingtons, and this Sears boot is now my boot of choice.

In late 2010, amateur astronomers discovered a white spot on Saturn – a gigantic storm forming in its northern hemisphere. The storm grew rapidly, and within weeks had embiggened to an almost unbelievable size, much larger than our entire planet. The winds in Saturn's atmosphere sheared the storm, pulling it apart while it still raged, and after three months the storm had wrapped completely around the planet, stretched to the ridiculous length of 300,000 km (180,000 miles) – 3/4 of the distance from the Earth to the Moon!
By mid-2011 the storm had nearly subsided – its remnants could still be seen in images taken by the Cassini spacecraft orbiting the ringed world – but the teeth had been taken out of it. Still, there was one surprise left in it.
Observations taken in the infrared by Cassini as well as from Earth show that the storm was not just big and violent, it also formed a vortex (a storm within a storm, if you like) that got hot – well, hot for frigid Saturn, that is. In the heart of the system, the temperature ...

A little while ago, the interwebz went all twitterpated over the Ohio State University marching band doing a halftime show tribute to gaming. Don't get me wrong: it was really cool, especially the part starting at 6 minutes in. I was in a marching band for many years (shocker) and I'm amazed at what OSU did.
But somehow that particular show overshadowed the one OSU did on September 15 that was way cooler. And by cooler, I mean geekier.
I don't want to spoil it, but if you want a cheat sheet, the You Tube page for the video has a list of the highlights and their times in the video.
My favorite part – duh – starts at 4:50. Make sure you keep watching for a minute. Make it so.
Tip o the shako to Heather Curtis.
Last weekend the Orionid meteor shower peaked. To be honest, it's a rather weak shower, with a max of maybe 25 meteors per hour. I mentioned it on Twitter and other social media, but it's usually a so-so shower at best so it didn't seem worth it to plug it much. Even big showers like the Perseids, Leonids, and Geminids can be fairly variable in what you see, so I usually only plug the bigger ones.
Still, the Orionids can be nice if you have dark skies. Mike Lewinski went out to Embudo, NM (along the Rio Grande river) to do some meteor photography and happened to catch a spectacular fireball from the shower. It even left what's called a persistent train, a trail of ionized, vaporized material that can glow for quite some time. I combined three of his images into one composite to show you the sequence:
On the left is the fireball, in the middle is the glowing train (as well as a second meteor that fell along the nearly same path as the first), and on the right the trail some minutes after the original ...
How much do I love Dusty Abell's artwork?
A whole quadrant's worth, that's how much. And here's why:
Oh, my. [Click to massively balokenate. This is only one small part of a much larger piece, and it's amazing.]
And why, yes, I do recognize Every. Single. Thing. in this drawing. Because my geekery is beyond even the capacity for Norman to coordinate.
Dusty also did this piece of awesomeness, too. And? He has the coolest name ever. He should've been an astronomer.
Tip o' the Tranya to io9.
More art and science are colliding! The Lunar and Planetary Institute is hosting the Humans in Space Youth Art Competition. Kids from anywhere in the world ages 10 – 18 are encouraged to express their feelings about human spaceflight using "…visual, literary, musical and video artwork".
I'm a big supporter of scientific art, and I think this is a great idea. If you're that age, or know someone who is, let them know! The deadline for submitting the work is midnight U.S. Central Standard Time, November 15, 2012. The website has the details.
Go! Be artistic!

Hey, remember that one ton nuclear rover we sent to Mars? Yeah, that. On October 20, it aimed its megaWatt laser at the sand on Mars and blasted it 30 times in rapid succession, carving out a hole about 3 mm across. NASA kindly has provided a before-and-after animation of the damage inflicted on the Red Planet:
Cool, eh? [Click to coherentlightenate.]
Curiosity's laser is designed not as a weapon against a hapless Marvin, but instead to do actual science. It very rapidly heats the rock (or sand or whatever) to the point where it vaporizes. Material heated like that glows, and in fact glows at very specific colors. By identifying those colors, scientists can determine precisely what the material is composed of. I gave the details in an earlier post when Curiosity zapped its first rock. You should read it, because spectroscopy is cool, and I spent many years doing it.
This sand was chosen to get lasered because it's made of fine grains that are blown by the wind. Some Martian sand is bigger, some smaller, but it's all pretty much formed from eroded rocks. But different grains may have different compositions, and ...
Our Milky Way galaxy is a sprawling collection of gas, dust, and hundreds of billions of stars, arrayed in a more-or-less flat disk. In the very center of the galaxy – just as in countless other large galaxies like ours – lies a hidden monster: a black hole. And not just any black hole, but one with four million times the Sun's mass.
It's called a supermassive black hole for a reason.
Usually, it's not doing a whole lot except sitting there being black and holey. But sometimes it gets a little snack, and when it does it can let out a cosmic-sized belch. A very, very, very hot belch. Like it did in July 2012:
[Click to schwarzschildenate.]
These images were taken with NASA's newest X-ray satellite, NuSTAR (more on that in a sec). NuSTAR can detect high-energy X-rays coming from space, and happened to be pointed toward the black hole when it erupted. On the left is an overview of the region near the center of our galaxy. The whitish area is the stuff immediately surrounding the black hole (the pink glow is most likely from a ...
Yesterday, an active region on the sun – basically, a collection of magnetically active sunspots – popped off a series of flares that were actually fairly energetic. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the action in this video:
Neat! These shots were in the ultraviolet, where flares are easier to spot.
Sunspots are where the Sun's complex magnetic field pokes through the surface. The field lines store ridiculous amounts of energy (did you see my BAFact for today?), and allow plasma – superheated, ionized gas – to flow along them. Think of these field lines like a pillowcase full of tightly wound springs. If one of them snaps – which can happen if they get too close to each other, for example, or when the churning surface of the Sun ratchets up the tension in the field lines beyond their capacity to restrain themselves – it blasts out its energy, which then snaps other lines, which release their energy, and so on. You get a cascade of explosions, resulting in a solar flare.
Flares can be pretty small, or hugely huge. Scientists categorize them ...
Sometimes climate change deniers make it all too easy.
The UK paper Daily Mail has a long history of courting climate change denial, and apparently it has no wish to change. It recently posted an atrocious article called "Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released… and here is the chart to prove it". The article was written by David Rose, who wrote a pretty inaccurate article earlier this year on a similar topic.
In fact, this new article was so blatantly wrong that the MET office – the national weather service for the UK – wrote a rebuttal to it detailing the flaws. To start with, they point out they did recently update their global temperature databases, but that's a very different thing than "quietly releasing a report", as Rose claims. Cue the conspiracy music!
It gets worse from there. They take on his points one at a time and take them down. I highly recommend reading them. And if you haven't gotten your fill of it, or you're still not convinced, you can check out The ...
Reliance on American vehicles to take humans back into space took another step up over the weekend, when the private company Blue Origin – founded by Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos – successfully tested their crew escape system.
Putting people in space isn't easy, and is fraught with danger. NASA requires that, in the case of an emergency, there is a proven escape system for the crew in case the rocket underneath them goes kablooie. One reliable system is to have a small solid rocket above the crew capsule that can pull it away to safety (which is how it was done for Apollo).
Interestingly, the Blue Origin method is to use a rocket underneath the capsule, so they call it a "pusher". Unlike other methods, this rocket is reusable, a technology NASA likes to explore. It lifted a full-scale suborbtial crew capsule to a height of 700 meters (2300 feet) and carried it 500 meters (1600 feet) downrange.
I couldn't embed the video of the launch, but you can see it at the Blue Origin site. I recommend it. It's pretty cool.
Blue Origin ...
[Update to the update (Oct 25): Apparently, the rock found is not actually a meteorite. These things can be tricky to identify, and the first conclusion was mistaken. Bummer.]
[Update to the update to the update; that is, update 3: (Oct 26): OK, see if you can follow along, since I barely can. A rock was found that was thought to be a meteorite from the fireball, and then thought not to be. Well, guess what? It's back on the list! A second rock was found a few kilometers away and identified as a meteorite, which prompted Peter Jenniskens to look over the first one again. He has concluded it actually is a meteorite. At this point, I think I'll hold off re-dis-un-updating all this, and if there's more news, I'll start a new blog post. Thanks to BABloggee Mike McJimsey for the link.]
This is exciting: a meteorite from last week's fireball over northern California has been found! NBC is reporting a small chunk, 4-5 centimeters across and weighing about 60 grams, struck a house in Novato, California shortly after the fireball ...
I am greatly saddened to learn that one of the founders of modern skeptical outreach, Paul Kurtz, has died.
Paul was the motivating force behind the creation of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP, which recently changed its name to the much more palatable Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, or CSI), one of the leading centers of the skeptical movement. You can read more about Paul's work on Wikipedia. Dr. Steve Novella, from the New England Skeptical society, wrote a nice piece about Paul as well.
I only met Paul a few times, and I don't have any interesting stories of note, to be honest. I'm sure we'll be hearing tales about the man over the next few days, and I hope you take the time to read them. Too many people in movements forget their own history, and knowledge of what happened in the past is always valuable in moving forward.
And move forward we must. There is no end to the weeds of nonsense that take root in the human brain, and we will never rid ourselves of them completely. As any gardener will tell you, it's a full ...
Splash, a style magazine in Chicago, is reporting that they've hired Jenny McCarthy to be their new daily blogger.
Yes, you read that right. But it gets better. And by better, I mean worse.
Besides a daily blog, she's being given a weekly advice column called "Ask Jenny", where, among other things, she will "tackle parenting".
Tackle, indeed. Body slam is more like it.
As someone who strongly advocates parents to get their kids vaccinated – y'know, to keep them from contracting potentially debilitating or deadly diseases, because I'm funny that way – I am not exactly a fan of Ms. McCarthy. I've written about her many, many times, because of her tenuous grasp of medical reality. She has for example repeatedly and fallaciously linked vaccines to autism, and has spouted inflated propaganda about toxic ingredients in them.
If you want the truth about vaccinations, and why they are critical for our public health, then go to the Immunize for Good website. Or talk to your board-certified doctor (good advice under any circumstances). But don't talk to Jenny ...
Looking up into the night sky, it seems like you can see forever. If you use binoculars or a telescope that feeling is, literally, magnified – you can see thousands, millions of stars.
But what you're seeing is barely scratching the depths of the Universe. You're looking out a few thousand light years into a galaxy a hundred thousand light years across, in a Universe where we can see distant galaxies over 10 billion light years away.
We build bigger telescopes so we can see those far-flung objects, and we even put them in space so our bothersome atmosphere doesn't interfere with the view. The most famous is of course the Hubble Space Telescope. It's hard to describe just how much of an impact this Grande Dame of astronomy has had on our perception of the Universe… though looking into the Hubble Deep Fields, you get a glimmer of it. In 1995, Hubble stared at one spot in space for over 140 hours, creating the first Deep Field. It revealed thousands of galaxies at tremendous distance, showing us that the sky is filled with galaxies.
The region of the sky for the first Deep Field was chosen because ...
If you've read this blog before, then all I really need to tell you is that Thierry Legault took a picture.
While in Queensland, Australia, Thierry took this shot of Wallaman Falls. While the Milky Way shone down, a meteor zipped past, adding to the drama. But what's that at the bottom? A rainbow? At night?
Yup. Well, kinda. It's a Moonbow, the same thing as a rainbow but with the Moon as the light source. Well, and it's not raindrops that cause it, but aerosolized water droplets acting as little prisms, breaking the light up into the usual colors. Moonbows are very faint, but they show up in long exposures like this one.
Leave it to Thierry to not be satisfied with just our galaxy, a bit of interplanetary debris vaporizing, and a waterfall in his shot. Amazing.
He has more pictures from that trip, and yeah, you want to see them. His photos have been on this blog so many times I can't even list them, but check out the Related Posts below, click the links, then click the links at the bottom of those posts (or you can use my ...
The Space Shuttle Orbiter Endeavour made its way from LAX to the California Science Center a few days ago. A huge throng of people showed up to watch and take pictures. Among them was Matthew Givot and his team, who took many thousands of pictures, and then created a stunning and moving time lapse tribute to NASA's youngest and now-retired Orbiter.
That was wonderful. As I've written several times, my feelings about the Shuttle program are mixed. But even as this amazing machine is put on display, Earthbound forever more, I'm hopeful about American space flight. We stand on the cusp of the future, and it won't be long before we make that next giant leap.
Early this morning, while you were sleeping, or working, or reading Twitter, the Sun had different plans: it erupted, blasting an immense tower of plasma upward off its surface:
In my last post I talked about how knowing the science behind a picture makes it better. I still say that's true, but also, sometimes, the beauty and awe of a picture can speak for itself.
Behold, swirls of sea ice off the coast of Greenland:
Breathtaking, isn't it? [Click to phasechangenate.]
This was taken by NASA's Aqua satellite on October 16, 2012. Aqua is designed to observe Earth's water cycle: the oceans, evaporation, clouds, precipitation, snow cover, and, obviously, sea ice. It takes a vast amount of energy to move water from the ocean into the atmosphere and then move it around the planet, energy which comes from sunlight and steered by the Earth's spin. Observations like those of Aqua show us how the constituents of the atmosphere change how that transport occurs, how that energy is stored, and how we humans affect that with our grand experiment of adding carbon dioxide to the air. That also affects our environment, how plants and animals eat, drink, live, and die.
We are animals, too, and we live in this environment created by sunlight, air, water, ice, and our own actions.

Hooksett police beards serve a good cause
Officers pay $20 to participate and be a member of the police association. All of the money raised will go to the Family Services Department, which Bouchard said always needs cash on hand to help needy families buy things like toiletries.
"We don't solicit for money while we are on duty. However, if someone were to ask anyone in the department about it, we are more than willing to discuss it," Bouchard said.
"It's all for a great cause, and it helps my family save money on razors, which means a better Christmas," he joked.
Bouchard said that Decem-Beard is part of the effort of the Police Association to become a larger part of the community. "We just recreated the association last year because we wanted to be more involved in the community. We had a lot of officers who did volunteer work, but we weren't operating as an organized unit."
"We feel that a lot of times when someone needs a police officer it is for a negative reason. We want the community to be able to see us in a positive manner," Bouchard said.

Winner of the Tony Pilgrim Award for an outstanding contribution to the RTS
The North East & The Border Centre caters for the broadcasters, freelances and students of the North East of England and Cumbria. Most of our meetings are in the Newcastle area, but we also hold events in Teesside and Carlisle. The majority are on weekday evenings, but on occasion we ring the changes with weekend or daytime meetings. We aim to provide a mix of topics to suit everyone interested in Television in the Region, at whatever level. Click the on the Events button on the left for the latest details — visitors are always welcome.
Our annual North East & The Border Centre Awards Dinner is now an established high point in the region's television year. The 2013 Awards will be held at The Hilton Hotel, Gateshead on March 1st 2014, and you can find the Results for previous years via the Awards link on the left.
The Reports section includes reports from events and selected Centre meetings.
The RTS considers it essential to encourage and foster the next generation of television practitioners. The North East & The Border Centre's Young People's Media Festival is an important event in the regional calendar.
Our Creative Forum is a place for television practitioners to exchange their own personal Hints and Tips — those pet ideas and discoveries that make life in the business just that little bit easier. Visit the Creative Forum to read what others have offered... and why not submit your own?
Sadly, not even the TV 'greats' (both sides of the camera) can go on forever, and from time to time we lose an old friend. Our Tributes section gives friends and colleagues a chance to say publicly just why they were great.

The core of this group of Cincinnati Bengals led by Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Geno Atkins, Jermaine Gresham and Reggie Nelson have never tasted what it's like to be alone atop the AFC North.
Yes, the Bengals haven't led the North outright since the 2009 NFL season, the last time they ultimately won the division. Even in professional sports, there's sometimes a mental hurdle in breaking through to do something as trivial as leading your division in Week 6.
But after gutting out an overtime win over the Buufalo Bills Sunday, the Bengals were able to break through and take control of the division, and they've shown there's no reason they should be on top when the regular season concludes.
"We can't worry about what other teams are going to do. We have to write our own destiny for lack of better terms," Cornerback Terence Newman said. "If we go out and win football games everything will be all right. We have to keep believing in each other, plugging away.
"For us to come out and get our first road victory against an AFC opponent it's a big one and a tough-fought one. We went into overtime; it should give us confidence we can win close games down the stretch. I think it's just a confidence-booster for everybody."
