Q: What is wrong with my function and main method? I am writing a C program with 2 functions and a main. The first function reads & stores the character (more description is included in the comment below). I'm not sure if I terminated the string right(with the 0)??
Thanks in advance for the help!
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 20

/* reads a line from the keyboard and stores the characters in the array str.
If the user enters more than max characters, it returns -1. Function should terminate
the char array with a NULL (or 0) */

int getline(char str[], int max){
    char c, i;

    while((c = getchar()) != '\n'){
        str[i] = c;
        i = i + 1;
    }

    str[i] = '\0';

    if (i < MAX)
        return 0;
    else
        return -1;
}

/* calculates and returns  the length of the array passed to it */
int strlen(char str[]){
    int i = 0;

    while(str[i] != NULL)
        i++;

    return i;
}

main(){
    char str[MAX];
    printf("Please Enter a String less than 20 characters:\n");

    if((getline(str, MAX)) == 0)
        printf("Length of '%s' = %d", str, (strlen(str)));
    else
        printf("You Entered more than 20 Characters!");
}

A: You must initialize i to 0 in your getline().
On the other hand, the 2nd parameter of getline() is max. But you only refered to MAX in the function. Luckily, since the only place calling getline() use MAX as the 2nd parameter, you don't observe any difference. Furthermore, to avoid writing out of array boundary, you should check for array index inside the loop instead of after the loop.

A: In getline(char str[], int max)
You have not initialized the local variable, i !

Intrepid voyager Frank, 70, has fair wind in his favour
THE brave grandad rowing solo across 3,000 of the Atlantic Ocean says he's been notching up more than 60 miles in a single day thanks to favourable winds.
Frank Rothwell, 70, is the oldest participant in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge.
Speaking on an international link from his boat "Never too Old" the intrepid traveller said: "I've been making great progress.
"I've clocked 75, 60 and 62 miles in the last three days. Marvellous. The wind has been bowling me along.
"To be honest rowing a boat solo means you make no progress at all if the wind is against you."
Oldham-born Frank who now lives in Greenfield, expects to reach the half way point of his marathon mission to raise a million pounds for Alzheimer's UK by the weekend, weather permitting.
And he hopes to make landfall in Antigua by Valentines Day, February 14 to be reunited with Judith, his wife of 50 years.
"We were childhood sweethearts," he explained. "She's my best friend and I speak to her three times a day.
"Why, she's even got a list of things for me to do when I get home — that will keep me from travelling for a while," he quipped.
He said her has seen hundreds of dolphins on his deep sea journey "and I've been bombarded by flying fish, really boney things."
He is keeping to a strict regime of rowing through the day and sleeping for up to eight hours at night.
"I'm deeply touched by all the support I'm getting from people back home. Knowing they are there means a lot - it helps keep me going. I cant thank them enough."
Says his son Luke: "Dad is very focused and is adopting his own strategy for finishing the race. It's all about finishing."
Frank is bidding to raise one million pounds for the Alzheimer's UK and you support

How the California Innocence Project Is Changing Lives with Clio
California Innocence Project
Number of Staff
Started Using Clio
Fee Types
Michael Semanchik, Managing Attorney, California Innocence Project
The California Innocence Project (CIP) is a law school clinic at the California Western School of Law that provides free legal services to wrongfully convicted people in California. It also works to improve state laws and policies to reduce wrongful convictions, while also providing ongoing training and experience to law students.
Reclaiming lives
At the age of 17, Brian Banks was a rising high school football star, destined to play in the NFL, when he was wrongfully convicted for kidnapping and rape. After being forced into a plea, he spent more than five years in a California prison before being exonerated.
"We had his sentence reversed in 2012, and Brian got his shot in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons in 2013," says Mike Semanchik, Managing Attorney at the CIP. "Brian is a great example of the impact this organization can have for people wrongly sent to prison, who suffer horribly for no reason."
The CIP operates like any other law firm—it takes in clients, tracks evidence, and works cases that span months, if not years. As one of the largest innocence organizations in the United States, the CIP receives more than 2,500 new inquiries requesting their services every year—all of which need to be tracked, followed up on, and managed across a team of 42 attorneys, staff, and volunteers.
"We receive about 6,000 communications every year from 2,500 new potential clients."
Managing information for 30,000 contacts
When Mike first started with CIP in 2011, the organization used Amicus Attorney to manage its potential clients and casework.
"It was a bulky application that was a nightmare to use," says Mike. "It used a lot of server time and space. It often crashed. And, for the 12 licences we purchased, it was expensive." As part of Clio's Academic Access Program, which supports university legal clinics around the world, Clio donates licences to all CIP staff for free.
Mike began working with Clio's migration team to get the CIP set up over the holiday break in December 2014. "Clio's tech team was able to transfer 23,116 contacts from our previous system so that they were ready when our students returned in January 2015. The changeover was seamless, and now we're up to more than 30,000 contacts in our system."
With so many prospective clients, Clio allows CIP staff to group contacts based on where they are in the application process—which helps systematize follow-up tasks such as completing applications, gathering evidence, and shortlisting formal representation. At each stage, the organization works with more than 400 attorneys and other professionals to help screen cases.
Clio also makes it easy to find contacts and perform conflict checks. "We use Clio's search to find contacts using their name or inmate number, and we'll see if they were listed as a witness for another case," says Raquel Cohen, Staff Attorney with CIP.
"We saved so much space since we went paperless that we have room for a whole new staff member."
Clio's migration team will transfer all firm data from previous software clients.
Organization in—and out—of office
"For me, it's all about organization," says Mike, who uses Clio's Firm Feed to get updates on cases his attorneys are working on. "When I review a case with one of our attorneys, we can pull up the case notes in Clio, and it's all there on the screen."
Remote access to firm resources is also important for CIP staff, who often deal with out-of-office communications in the evening or when on the road. Mike can access firm information with Clio's mobile app, or via his laptop, which he tethers to his smartphone.
"I've been to 27 of California's prisons, which tend to be located in remote areas," says Mike. "With Clio, I don't have to wait to get back to the office to check in on the status of a case or to access our notes."
Raquel also uses Clio to manage volunteer staff at the organization. "I use Clio heavily to supervise volunteers, to monitor how cases are progressing, and to follow-up on how to prosecute specific cases," says Raquel.
CIP has a high turnover rate for its volunteers, bringing on 12 to 14 new clinic students every year. "When we used Amicus Attorney, we had to swap licences between new staff, but they were generic and we couldn't see who was making which updates. With Clio, every intern gets their own login, so we're able to see exactly who does what."
Onboarding new staff and getting them trained is also important for CIP. "Clio is extremely user-friendly," says Raquel. "Whenever we bring in new interns, they're able to pick it up quickly."
Building impactful relationships
The CIP works to ensure that everyone in the criminal justice system gets their fair chance at justice, and working closely with inmates has formed many close relationships for Mike and Raquel.
"We've attended weddings that wouldn't have happened. We've had children born that wouldn't have existed without a system like Clio. The service that Clio is providing us is changing lives," says Mike.
The CIP can't always help everyone who needs it, but Clio can help manage the overwhelming amount of requests that they receive, helping them build those initial relationships so that they can have the greatest impact possible.
The full mandate
Overturning wrongful convictions is only part of the organization's mandate, however. It also works to improve the legal system to avoid wrongful accusations in the first place.
"We try to change laws in the criminal justice system to help solve problems at the source," says Mike. Since the organization began its work in California, it's managed to influence eight laws and compensation processes.
The California Innocence Project, as a program run under California Western School of Law also works with students on campus to train them and prepare them for a successful career in the legal industry. Each year the project selects 12 to 14 clinic students to work alongside staff attorneys and to investigate cases. Their 235 alumni have gone on to take roles all over the world.

Building cost estimating may not be the easiest job in the world, but it is surely a fulfilling one! After all, is there anything more rewarding than watching your dream home come alive right before you?
If you want to make the experience enjoyable and hassle free, go through my tips on project cost estimating here!
How do I estimate house construction cost?
It's simple really. The best way to go about making a building cost estimate is to look at a house that is already under construction in your area. Take a look at the house and their specifications in the county planning department. The house you are looking for should be as close as possible in specifications to the one you are trying to build.
You can either ask their general contractor on site how much it is costing your neighbors to build their house or ask your own general contractor what his estimate would be. Subtract the cost of land from the total costs of that house and voila! You have the best estimate of what it might cost!
Estimating construction cost is all about planning, right? When you are estimating cost, don't forget to include increases in labor rates, material costs, etc.
Don't forget to correctly calculate the specifications inside. If you are calculating the prices of a simple home, but your building a luxury home, your cost projections to what it will really cost will greatly differ.
If you do not find a similar house in the neighborhood, look up home plans here. There are a number of pages specializing in home plans. Project cost estimating becomes easier when you look through these plans.
Okay, I got that. What are the things I need to watch out for?
Keep the specifications of your house in mind before calculating the costs. It is best to round off the size of your home to even numbers. It prevents a waste of materials. It is also a good idea to dig less than 33 feet into the ground. If your house is any deeper, you might need specially designed roof trusses.
Rectangular shaped houses will cost less. The more angles and corners you build into your house, the more you have to pay for labor and materials. A house that is dome shaped would also cost you less.
You should also include such factors as site preparation when you are estimating construction cost. For instance, are you building on a flat lot? Will the site need grading or dirt clearance? All this might shoot up your house construction cost, so it is better to have an idea about it beforehand!
Keep inflationary factors in mind. If you are planning to build the house when baby Alicia is in high school, factor in additional costs you might have to pay due to the inflation!
No matter how well you plan out your costs, there is always a chance that you will exceed your building cost estimate. Ideally speaking, you should keep at least 10-15% cash reserve at hand, in case you are taken by surprise.
How do I minimize house construction cost?
Acquire a home plan for your new house you are building.
Decide on the materials you are going to use. For instance the flooring you want, the roofing of your choice or even the windows you prefer.
Decide on the number of contractors you are comfortable with. For instance, are you more comfortable with a single firm? Or would you prefer handpicking all the professionals required?
Make sure you get quotes on all the phases involved in your project. An informed decision is always a better one. Add the best quote you get to the material cost of your house and you have a rough building cost estimate of what you are in for!
Other costs you might want to consider include building permit fees, insurance, architectural fees and legal costs that may be involved. These are important in estimating construction cost, so don't forget to take them into account.
Hiring out some of the work as a general contractor might not be such a bad idea, especially if your building costs are shooting up. However, remember that hiring contractors can be tricky! Have an honest estimate about your abilities and know how. This will prevent you from making costly mistakes in the future!
Remember, there are many factors involved in building cost estimating. It may even appear too much for you at times! However, with the right approach and my tips above, you can do a good job. After all, isn't your dream house worth the effort!

Song Repertoires and Song Sharing by American Redstarts
R.E. Lemon, R.C. Cotter, Ralph MAC NALLY, Stephen Monette
We studied the extent to which male American Redstarts (Setoph- aga ruticilla) share songs in their repertoires. Examining samples of songs from three locations in New Brunswick, Canada, we found significant heterogeneity the frequencies of the different songs across the locations. The extent to which neighbors shared songs related to increasing repertoire size (mean 4.4 songs/adult male). In the relatively larger sample at St. Andrews, neighboring adult males shared significantly more song types (P < 0.05) than did adult males chosen at random. However, this result applied only to individuals with intermediate-sized repertoires (four songs). Subadult males at St. Andrews shared as much with neighboring adult males as did adult males among themselves. In the small, island population at Back Bay, adult males shared noticeably more songs than St. Andrews. We attribute the difference in degree of song sharing to demographic aspects, including patterns of settlement, interacting with tendencies to copy songs. Therefore, any so-called "dialects" in songs of American Redstarts seem more "epiphenomena" resulting from competiton between males rather than as indi- cations of local adaptations of

Be Cool John Travolta is back as Chili Palmer in this sequel to the comedy smash "Get Shorty" (1995). This time, Chili becomes a different kind of "hit" man when he abandons the movie industry to bring his wiseguy skills and negotiation tactics to the music business. When a friend is offed while at lunch, Chili takes the opportunity to visit the man's wife, Edie (Uma Thurman), and pitch himself as her new business partner at an independent record label. With a promising young pop-star-in-training as his protege (Christina Milian), Chili has to juggle her faux-urban manager (Vince Vaughn), his gay, wannabe-actor bodyguard (The Rock), Russian mobsters, and an eloquent gangsta music producer (Cedric the Entertainer) to save the label and land a hit -- and keep from getting popped himself. Director: F. Gary Gray. Stars: John Travolta, Uma Thurman, The Rock, Vince Vaughn, Andre 3000, Cedric the Entertainer, Danny DeVito, James Gandolfini, Harvey Keitel, Debi Mazar, Christina Milian. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 115 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $54.501 million, MGM, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
Beyond the Sea Kevin Spacey's loving bio of singer Bobby Darin. For Darin (Spacey), performing was his life. It kept his heart beating. He came alive onstage, even when he was near collapse offstage. With a heart damaged by rheumatic fever, Walden Robert Cassotto -- Little Bobby -- isn't supposed to live to see age 15. But when his mother Polly (Brenda Blethyn) shows him the happiness that comes with music, Bobby finds the inspiration he needs to stay alive. Making music opens a world beyond sickness, where prodigious talent, drive and imagination can overcome a faulty heart. With the help and support of his devoted family -- Polly, his older sister Nina (Caroline Aaron) and Nina's husband Charlie (Bob Hoskins) -- Bobby will become a star. And so he does. Working with his best friend and manager, Steve Blauner (John Goodman), Bobby charts his own stubbornly eclectic musical path, writing original songs and performing in a range of genres. Turning his sights beyond music, Bobby launches a movie career and marries America's favorite young star, Sandra Dee (Kate Bosworth). But Bobby's relentless professional ambition has begun to poison his private life, and the late 1960s find him isolated, confused and directionless. In the end, with his childhood illness finally catching up with him, Bobby must look to his friends, family and extraordinary talent to quell his demons and accept who he is and what his life has meant. Director: Debi Mazar, Christina Milian. Stars: Kevin Spacey, Kate Bosworth, John Goodman, Bob Hoskins, Brenda Blethyn, Greta Scacchi, Caroline Aaron. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 118 min., Biodrama, Box office gross: $6.144 million, Lions Gate, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
Seed of Chucky The killer doll is back -- and his family must slay together in order to stay together in the fifth in the popular series of Chucky ("Child's Play") horror comedies. "Seed of Chucky" introduces Glen (voiced by Billy Boyd), the orphan doll offspring of the irrepressible Chucky (voiced by Brad Dourif) and his equally twisted bride Tiffany (voiced by Jennifer Tilly). When production starts on a movie detailing the urban legend of his parents' lethal exploits, Glen heads for Hollywood -- where he brings his bloodthirsty parents back from the dead. The family dynamics are far from perfect as Chucky and Tiffany go Hollywood and get rolling on a new spree of murderous mayhem, much to gentle Glen's horror. Chucky can't believe that his child doesn't want to walk in his murdering footsteps, and star-struck Tiffany can't believe that the movie will star her favorite actress, Jennifer Tilly (playing herself), who soon becomes an unwitting hostess to the family in more ways than one. Director: Don Mancini. Stars: Jennifer Tilly, Billy Boyd, Brad Dourif, Hannah Spearritt, John Waters, Redman, Steve Lawton, Tony Gardner, Jason Flemyng. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: R, 87 min., Horror, Box office gross: $17.016 million, Universal, $23.98 VHS SRP.
Space Station One of the most popular Imax films ever, "Space Station" treats audiences like real astronauts from blast-off to life inside the International Space Station. Made with the cooperation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), "Space Station" is the story of the unique partnership of 16 nations building a laboratory in outer space -- a permanent facility for the study of the effects of long-duration exposure to zero gravity and the necessary first step towards the global co-operative effort needed if man is to someday set foot on Mars. The film is highlighted by the challenges, setbacks and triumphs of this groundbreaking engineering feat -- and ultimately, the shared international victory of men and women whose dreams exceed the limits of life on Earth. "Space Station" follows two separate space shuttles that leave from Florida's Kennedy Space Center and Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome to rendezvous with their new home in orbit 220 miles above Earth. A gorgeous and involving film. Director: Toni Myers. 2002, CC, MPAA rating: NR, 47 min., Documentary, Box office gross: $50.287 million, Warner. DVD only.
Machinist, The Trevor Reznik (Christian Bale), a machinist, has lost the ability to sleep. But this is no ordinary insomnia. Trevor has not slept in a year. Fatigue has led to a shocking deterioration of his physical and mental health. Suspicious of his appearance, Trevor's co-workers first shy away from him, then turn against him after he's involved in a shop accident that costs a man his arm. They blame Trevor for the accident. He has become a liability to himself and others, and now they want him out. Plagued with guilt, Trevor's shame becomes suspicion, then paranoia, when it appears his workmates are conspiring to have him fired -- or worse. First he finds cryptic notes left in his apartment. Next he's told that a mysterious co-worker involved in the accident doesn't exist. Are these mysteries part of a plot to drive Trevor mad? Or is it fatigue that's robbing him of his reason? No one is exempt from Trevor's suspicion. The only two people Trevor trusts are a gritty call-girl (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who has fallen in love with him, and an alluring waitress and single mom (Spanish actress Aitana Sanchez-Gijon) with whom he carries on an almost fairy-tale romance, even as his life disintegrates. Determined to find an answer, Trevor investigates the strange occurrences that are turning his world into a sleepless nightmare. Yet the more he learns, the less he wants to know. Director: Brad Anderson. Stars: Christian Bale, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Aitana Sanchez-Gijon, John Sharian, Michael Ironside. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: R, 101 min., Thriller, Box office gross: $1.082 million, Paramount, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.

Each tells a dramatically different story about her husband's conduct, but she is determined to learn the truth. "Until my husband can rest in peace," she proclaims, "I'll have no comfort."

Imaginary Heroes "Imaginary Heroes" is a look at one long year in the lives of an ostensibly typical, upper-middle-class suburban family.

Following a sobering family tragedy -- the death by suicide of one of their two sons -- the Travises go to pieces. Teenaged son Tim (Emile Hirsch) views his life as a bad dream. His father, Ben (Jeff Daniels), tunes out and treats his wife and children like strangers. His mother, Sandy (Sigourney Weaver) sharpens her tongue with sarcasm and dulls her senses with pot while struggling hard to conceal a secret that threatens to ruin them all. With elements of pathos, salty humor and self-discovery, the Travises learn to accept one another as a family. Director: Dan Harris. Stars: Sigourney Weaver, Emile Hirsch, Jeff Daniels, Michelle Williams, Kip Pardue. 2004, CC, MPAA rating: R, 112 min., Drama, Box office gross: $0.197 million, Sony, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
Hitch Romantic comedy stars Will Smith as Alex "Hitch" Hitchens, a legendary -- and deliberately anonymous -- New York City "date doctor" who, for a fee, has helped countless men woo the women of their dreams. As a tactical adviser who specializes in first impressions -- he customizes and orchestrates a client's first three dates -- Hitch has been secretly responsible for hundreds of New York City weddings. While coaching Albert (Kevin James), a meek accountant who is smitten with a glamorous celebrity, Allegra Cole (Amber Valletta), Hitch finally meets his match in the person of the gorgeous, whip-smart Sara Melas (Eva Mendes), a gossip columnist who follows Allegra's every move. The ultimate professional bachelor, Hitch suddenly finds himself falling deliriously in love with Sara, whose biggest scoop could very well be the unmasking of Manhattan's most famous date doctor.

Dirty Shame, A From the wondrously fertile mind of writer-director John Waters comes America's first carnal concussion comedy. Set in the Harford Road area of Waters' native Baltimore, "A Dirty Shame" tells what happens when a horde of "sex addicts" invade a blue-collar neighborhood, to the shock and dismay of the "neuter" neighbors. Lust is in the air on Harford Road and Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman), a grumpy, repressed middle-aged Baltimorean, doesn't like it. Though Sylvia's handsome husband Vaughn (Chris Isaak) still has marital urges, Sylvia couldn't be less interested -- she has work to do. She has to run the family's "Pinewood Park and Pay" convenience store, and prepare proper meals for their exhibitionist daughter Caprice (Selma Blair), a go-go dancer known to her adoring fans as Ursula Udders. Caprice and her stupendously enlarged breasts have been sentenced to home detention after several "nude and disorderly" violations. But Sylvia's world is turned upside down one day after suffering a concussion in a freak accident. Sexy tow-truck driver Ray-Ray Perkins (Johnny Knoxville) rushes to her aid and Sylvia realizes he's no ordinary service man; he's a sexual healer who brings her flaming cauldron of hidden lust to the boiling point. Vaughn is happily surprised by his wife's resurgent libido, but when he sees her do a raunchy "hootchie-cootchie" dance during a routine visit to a nursing home, he realizes something isn't right. Sylvia's mother, Big Ethel (Suzanne Shepherd), already up in arms about the libertines in their midst, decides it is time to fight back. Supported by her sex-hating neighbors like Marge the Neuter (Mink Stole), Big Ethel leads the battle for "Neuter normality" against Ray-Ray and his "sex addict" disciples. Sylvia, torn between her responsibilities as a wife and mother and her suddenly unbridled thirst for all things carnal, finds herself at the center of an overheated battle for a throbbing Harford Road. What follows is rude, joyous and full of sexual anarchy. A movie with a generous heart and a dirty mind. Director: John Waters. Stars: Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville, Selma Blair, Chris Isaak, Suzanne Shepherd, Mink Stole, Patricia Hearst. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: R, 89 min., Black comedy, Box office gross: $1.339 million, New Line, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
Jacket, The A psychological thriller about a military veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. When he is accused of murder and lands in an asylum, a well-meaning doctor puts him on a heavy course of experimental drugs, restrains him in a jacket-like device, and locks him away in a body drawer of the basement morgue. The process sends him on a journey into the future, where he can foresee his death (but not who did it or how) in four day's time. Now the only question that matters is: can the woman he meets in the future save him? Jack Starks (Adrien Brody), a U.S. Marine serving in the Persian Gulf War, receives a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head. Although he recovers, the incident leaves him with shock-related amnesia. After his release, he returns to his native Vermont. Nine months later, hitchhiking along a snowbound Vermont highway, Starks encounters a broken down pick-up truck. The driver, a drunken, disoriented mother named Jean, and her eight-year-old daughter, Jackie, are stranded at the roadside. Starks offers his help and gets the truck started. He continues hitchhiking, and is picked up by a station wagon driven by a young man headed for the Canadian border. Shortly afterward, the car is pulled over by the police and Starks blacks out. When he awakens, he finds himself on trial for murder in a small town court. Found not guilty by reason of insanity, Starks is committed to Alpine Grove, a state institution for the criminally insane. There a staff physician, Dr. Becker, subjects Starks to a jarring experimental treatment involving mind-altering drugs and claustrophobic physical restraint. Once medicated, Starks is wrapped in jacket-like restraints and left alone for hours at a time in a corpse drawer located in the hospital's basement morgue. And in the drawer, in the dark and under the influence, Starks initially experiences flickers of memory from the war and the shooting of the police officer. The past gives way to the future when he is suddenly transported to a diner in Vermont where he meets Jackie, a waitress who takes pity on him and tries to help him find a place to sleep for the night.

Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous FBI Agent Gracie Hart (Sandra Bullock) has became an overnight media sensation after successfully disarming a threat against the Miss United States Pageant while working undercover as a contestant in "Miss Congeniality." Things haven't been going so well for her lately, though. Reeling from a broken romance and frustrated to find her newfound fame is jeopardizing the undercover work she loves, Gracie reluctantly lets her boss, Agent McDonald (Ernie Hudson), talk her into serving the Bureau in the only way now possible: coifed and styled for the talk show circuit as "the face of the FBI." Though resistant at first, Gracie soon warms to the attention and it's not long before she's getting into her new role a little too much. Her new partner Sam Fuller (Regina King), a tough, ambitious agent who is clearly not her biggest fan, is the first to point out that the pampered Bureau star is turning into FBI Barbie. But when Gracie's best friends, pageant winner Cheryl Frazier and emcee Stan Fields (Heather Burns and William Shatner), are kidnapped in Las Vegas, Gracie's crime-fighting instincts kick back in. Not wanting to risk losing their high-profile mascot, the FBI top brass sideline her to press conference duty in Las Vegas and send Sam along as her bodyguard, leaving local FBI supervisor Collins (Treat Williams) to spearhead the rescue effort while junior agent Jeff Foreman (Enrique Murciano) tries to keep Gracie and her entourage safely out of the way till its all over.

Pacifier, The Vin Diesel stars as Navy SEAL Shane Wolfe who, as an elite member of the world's fiercest and most highly trained force, thought he was prepared to take on any duty no matter how perilous or impossible ... until he tried baby-sitting. Assigned to protect the five out-of-control children of an assassinated scientist working on vital government secrets, Shane is suddenly faced with juggling two outrageously incompatible jobs: fighting the bad guys while keeping house. Replacing his usual arsenal of wetsuits and weapons with diapers and juice boxes, Shane not only must battle a deceptive enemy but wrangle teen rebel Zoe (Brittany Snow), sullen 14 year-old Seth (Max Theriot), 8 year-old Ninja-wanna-be Lulu (Morgan York), as well as 3 year-old Peter and baby Tyler -- not to mention their off-beat Romanian Nanny (Carol Kane). But while drop zones, demolitions and destroying enemy targets come naturally to Shane, he has no idea what tough really is until he pits his courage against diapering, den-mothering and driver's education. He's truly a SEAL out of water, and now it's up to this one-time lone warrior to take on the most important mission of his life: keeping a family together. Director: Adam Shankman. Stars: Vin Diesel, Lauren Graham, Faith Ford, Brittany Snow, Max Thieriot, Chris Potter, Carol Kane, Brad Garrett. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: PG, 95 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $100.566 million, Disney, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
Gunner Palace Director Michael Tucker's intimate portrait of the lives of American soldiers in Iraq. Tucker spent two months living with soldiers in one of Uday Hussein's former "pleasure palaces." The unprecedented footage he obtained takes viewers beyond the evening news reports and reveals what life is like in a war that rages on even after the conflict is declared officially over. Gunner Palace is a unique portrait of the fragmented, chaotic and stress-filled existence of American soldiers at war in Iraq. Tucker captured the lives of the members of the 213 Field Artillery, AKA the "Gunners", whose living headquarters are housed in Uday Hussein's Azimiya Palace, situated in the middle of Adhamiya, the most volatile area in Baghdad. Four months after President Bush declared the end of "major combat operations," this troop of U.S. soldiers continues to live and die through what they jokingly call "minor combat." Their residence, a bombed out palace complete with swimming pool and putting green, provides a surreal backdrop to their stories. Tucker filmed the troops over two one-month periods, slowly gaining their trust while he lived with them in the once royal residence now fondly known as "Gunner Palace." With total access to all unit operations and activities, captured in his own distinct verite style, filmmaker Tucker provides a rare series of intimate "snapshots" that reveal the complex realities of a war that has to be seen to be understood. Portion of proceeds from each "Gunner Palace" DVD sold goes directly to help military families through the Fisher House Foundation. Director: Michael Tucker. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 85 min., Documentary, Box office gross: $0.586 million, Palm Pictures.
Diary of a Mad Black Woman Filled with a mix of comedy and drama, "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" is based on the immensely popular play of the same name written by Tyler Perry. The story focuses on Helen McCarter (Kimberly Elise), who has seemingly had the perfect life with husband Charles McCarter (Steve Harris). Over the years, Helen has been a faithful and loving wife, while Charles built a successful and lucrative career as a prominent Atlanta attorney. They wear the latest fashions and drive the nicest cars. They live on an expansive estate complete with an extravagant mansion, swimming pool, tennis court and all the trappings of wealth. However, on the eve of their 18th wedding anniversary Helen's paradise begins to crumble as Charles announces that he wants a divorce. He abruptly -- and literally -- tosses Helen out of the mansion to make room for the "other woman". With all of her belongings packed in a moving van, Helen starts on her journey to put the pieces of her life back together. Through the assistance of her family, faith, and a twist of fate, Helen finds the strength and empowerment she needs to get control of her circumstances. She also finds that the tragic events of her life soon become comic, especially with the help -- mostly unsolicited -- of pot-smoking, gun-toting, and much beloved, grandmother figure Madea (Tyler Perry). Director: Darren Grant. Stars: Kimberly Elise, Steve Harris, Shemar Moore, Tamara Taylor, Lisa Marcos, Tiffany Evans, Cicely Tyson, Tyler Perry. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 116 min., Drama Comedy, Box office gross: $50.382 million, Lions Gate, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
Acacia After 10 years of marriage, Do-il (Kim Jin-geun) and Mi-sook (Shim Hye-jin) live a seemingly happy and secure life together. Unable to conceive, they decide to adopt Jin-Sung (Moon Woo-bin), a young boy that Mi-sook is drawn to after seeing his Munch-like paintings. Quiet and introverted, Jin-Sung spends most of his time playing underneath the Acacia tree in their backyard, away from the family. When Mi-sook becomes miraculously pregnant, he becomes even more detached. As the once-dead Acacia tree in the backyard begins to bloom, terrible "accidents" start to tear the household apart. Is it Jin-Sung or something far more sinister? Director: Park Ki-Hyung. Stars: Na-yoon Jeong, Shim Hye-jin, Kim Jin-geun, Moon Woo-bin. 2003, CC, MPAA rating: R, 102 min., Horror, Tartan Asia Extreme. DVD only.

Somewhere between a modern-day nightmare and a techno-fetishist's ultimate fantasy, a young man gradually mutates into a metal being. A surreal black-and-white journey into a dark and disturbing world where self-inflicted body transformations and post-human women form the fabric of a strange new reality. Explosive violence, bizarre sexual imagery and jet-black humor. Director: Shinya Tsukamoto. Stars: Tomorowo Taguchi, Kei Fujiwara, Nobu Kanaoka. 1988, CC, MPAA rating: NR, 67 min., Sci Fi Horror, Tartan Asia Extreme. DVD only.

break down a "how to book" into proper categories. Also, you will learn even more writing techniques. Now I'm sure most of you are saying you don't want to copy your favorite author, or don't want your story to sound like something that has already been published. Let's be honest, no one wants that. However reading others writing will aide you in being able to create your own unique voice, making it something people will enjoy reading. With that being said, when you begin writing your own story, in whatever capacity, make sure to not read others of the same genre or topic at the same time. This may lead to sounding too much like another author.
This was one of my key tips listed in "WRITING FOR SUCCESS", but I wanted to take it one step further as I feel regardless of the subject matter, outlining your piece is critical in saving you from wasting time. It also helps to develop a smooth cohesive story line throughout. Previously, I had mentioned the snow flake effect but I've also heard that you can start with the ending and work your way backwards. By doing this style of outline you really have to know and understand how your story fits together. Since each chapter is suppose to push your story forward, this will MAKE you know and understand each movement of your characters, or help you see how your narrative is coming together. Also, for outlining my blogs, I simply use the good old MLA format. I expand the bullet points it to fit the length of my topic and then go in and jot my ideas down. From there I go back and fill in the meat of what information I'm sharing.
two months later. What I failed to realize, is that it wasn't even close to being a finished product. As I stared going through the story line, I found holes, scenes that didn't need to be there, and I found myself re-writing a lot of it. I say your first draft of anything isn't finished because it's not. Whether it be grammar, or simply something that doesn't sound right to you when being re-read, everything that is written with the intentions on it being published, needs to have a second and even third draft.
If you hate guns and would never fire one at anything, then writing about hunting would be a huge mistake. If you love writing business plans and help people market their ideas then this is something that you would do very well in writing about on the topic. Pick what interests you, regardless of the forum, and write about topics you enjoy and are knowledgeable on. The confidence will come through in your writing and it will be a strong, moving piece to read. Also, even if you are very knowledgeable on something or have experienced for yourself, make sure to do research on whatever you are writing about. Even if you never use any of it, it's good to have it in the back of your mind when writing.
When you finally write, and this is for any kind of writing, turn off your social media and other devices. I've never know a book to write itself. You need to stay focused while you write, and writing is hard when you are scrolling through text messages or Face Book. Make sure you are in a comfortable designated area and keep it free of social media. Some people enjoy having music playing in the background and that's more than ok, but make sure to turn off all your other devices.
We write for all different reasons. For some of us it's because we have to and for others it's because we love to. We write to share our thoughts, ideas and stories with others. Whether it's for fun, work, or otherwise following these tips will help you reach the finished product that we are all working towards.

This is Willie McCovey. It's a statue; it's not Stretch himself.
In the sixties and seventies, Willie was one of the best hitters in baseball. Spending most of his time at first base for the San Francisco Giants, he earned his paycheck by making pitcher's knees buckle from sixty feet and six inches away in the lefty batter's box. When Stretch came up to bat, Giants fans would all shift over toward the right field deck at Candlestick Park with hopes of catching a souvenir – a shift defensive players could have benefitted from too if that defensive mindset hadn't been forty years before it's time.
Willie never played on the field backing up to China Basin, feeding Mission Creek and then San Francisco Bay – but his namesake cove, built and named twenty years after his retirement – is now a paddler's monopoly on blasted home run souvenirs.
As of June 28, 2016 – the day I paddled the McCovey's Cove – only 111 times has a player sent a game ball up and over the 309-foot right field fence at AT&T Park, high enough to clear the crowds standing on top of the 24-foot-high wall, and then out over a 27-foot-wide sidewalk – ultimately splashing in the narrow China Basin.
Belonging to Barry Bonds, 35 of the 111 sit in the record books with an asterisk.
I drove up and down King Street for two hours; ok, maybe it was thirty minutes that felt like two hours because of the rush hour traffic, herds of biking hipsters cutting me off, and a one-way-street 'U-turn' design that even Google Maps couldn't figure out. Finally, I sold my soul and paid $30 to park.
Welcome to San Fran, man.
In the comfort of my hotel room, a way-too-expensive Motel 6 almost an hour away from downtown in the not-so-booming metropolis of El Sobrante, the weather was perfect: mid-seventies, sunny, with a refreshing bayside breeze blowing the taco truck smells toward room 219. When I parked the car downtown and walked to the launch on China Basin, the six-foot swells were creeping over the seawall, the wind was howling uncomfortably, and the smell of tacos was overcome with discouraging conditions and salty danger.
I couldn't paddle my little hybrid rec-canoe in chop that would make a sea kayak sweat.
Sacrificing batting practice to avoid the perfect storm, I waited it out at a nearby pub – canoe locked to the bike rack out front.
Who's laughing now, bike riding hipsters?
A dozen oysters, a few Anchor Steam beers, and a cold front later, I launched into Mission Bay – a slightly less windy and considerably colder Mission Bay than a couple of hours ago.
I didn't get a splash hit – now one of the signature features of baseball in San Francisco. Batting practice was over by the time I paddled two-miles around the Central Basin Marina, the docked cargo ships at Pier 50, and landed around two new friends. Greg and Brian had kayaks better suited for the conditions and the local knowledge and guts to go for it during batting practice. Their nautical grit paid off. As the only two paddlers in McCovey's Cove at the time, they landed all the splash hits – now bartering away batting practice souvenirs in exchange for beers with the late-arriving yachters.
While none of it crept past the giant Levi's sign on the right field concourse, there was no shortage of offense inside AT&T Park. Jake Smolinski's three-run homerun highlighted a five-run 8th-inning that gave the visiting A's a 10-8 advantage and an eventual 13-11 win. We listened to Dave Flemmings's call of the game on the radio, cracked Oakland socio-economic jokes – because that's the cool thing to do in San Francisco, apparently – and pleaded Bruce Bochy from the water for a Madison Bumgarner pinch hit appearance down two in the bottom of the 9th.
The paddle back was calm, the swells became canoe-comfortable, and I tossed the statue of Willie one last nod.
Thanks for having me, Stretch.
