Hi, Thanks for the quick response, For today's issue, I couldn't check the status because I was not called. But for the issue reported on last Saturday April 20, 2019. I did try the below command after logging into the server. $ service plasticsd status Also, when I tried restart the service by entering first $ service plasticsd stop command, it threw a "FAILED" message, and then when I tried for $ service plasticsd start it resulted in saying service already running. I will try to get the logs for the day of April 20, 2019 to see if that helps.

Linux Connecton Refused Issue
BVeeravelu posted a topic in Plastic SCM on LinuxHi, Problem Report: Plastic SCM version 7 installed in Linux often hungs and throws error "No connection could be made becasue the target machine actively refused it <IP:PORT>". Action Taken/Workaround: Checked the status of Plastic SCM service and found it's active. Tried stop and start the service but couldn't because it throws error saying operation FAILED. Reboot the Linux server, then able to establish connection. Note: We have two other Plastic SCM running in two different Windows machine without any issues for years. But the Linux one started few months ago had connection issue reported once a week. This issue mostly occurs during 12 to 4 AM EST (onshore off business hours, but Offshore's active check-in hours) Objective: Plastic SCM should be available and able to connect all time without any connection issue, other than maintenance downtime. Question(s): 1. Any input and thoughts on What's causing the connection issue? 2. Please let me know for any log files required to take a look. Please let me know for any further information or question. Thanks, Babu

fast-export & fast-import is not resulting as expected
BVeeravelu replied to BVeeravelu's topic in GeneralHi, Thanks for the prompt response and suggestion. Summary: Using Plastic GUI replication menu option I am able to accomplish my requirement, but only by branch by branch and rename the root branch to the actual (because the replicate option names it "main" by default). So, this way it takes additional time with manual effort. Action Taken in Detail: Tried using the cm clone command line option but it threw error as shown below. > cm clone SandBox@plastic01:<port> SandBox@plastic02:<port> Command 'clone' not found. Type cm showcommands to get a command list. Also, tried using the cm replicate command but got the below error, tried multiple option like passing user id, password and authmode but no luck. >cm replicate SandBox@plastic01:<port> SandBox@plastic02:<port> The specified repository couldn't be found: plastic01:<port>. Question: Wanted to automate this task, So need command line working either through cm clone or cm replicate. What is missing in those above tries? Do you have any example command script that shows, cloning of repository from Windows To Windows plastic server & Windows To Unix plastic server ? Note: I am using Plastic Version 188.8.131.526
fast-export & fast-import is not resulting as expected
BVeeravelu posted a topic in GeneralHi, Objective: Need to move few of repositories from one plastic server ("plastic01") to another plastic server ("plastic02", this server already have 50+ repositories) with the same branch naming and structure with the history and same timestamp as in plastic01. Action Taken: Used the fast-export and fast-import commands as shown below and noticed the changeset are being skipped. Question(s): 1. What is missing in my command that was used below? 2. Is there any pre-setting needs to be done before using these commands? 3. Noticed the imported repository root branch is named as "main" with though the actual root branch is named as "production" and with the date & timestamp of when the command got executed. How do I get this work as I expected? Please let me know for any further information or question. Below are the execution command with output.

Co-dependant, yup…I am…I can admit it 😀
I have tried to do some cleaning tonight, but well, I kind of failed…sort of…I did nowhere near as much as I had hoped, however I did do the shopping for the fortnight and came in under budget so far.
I am meeting up with a good friend tomorrow evening at about 5.30, so depending on how long we hang out I may be home in time to do the mopping/vacuuming as planned. Even if I am not I may just have to bite the bullet and do it…
Friday night I have my good friends coming over for dinner/drinkies, hence why i want to have mostly everything cleaned, and yes I could be cleaning instead of updating my blog but surely I can have a few minutes rest before I do the dishes and start Mr sheening quickly before bed?
Today at work I realised that some people are just incapable of coming up with realistic methods of handling problems…creating groups within a team to allocate work and function as mini teams is not what I would consider a good move especially considering there are people already employed with that as part of their job description AND who get paid 10k more to do said job….meh whatever…33 days to go….that's all I need to keep thinking 😀
I am feeling a little depressed tonight to be really honest, I do tend to do that when left to my own devices for a couple of days…I guess I don't have enough things to distract me from it….
I have done no exercise at all this week, I have just been too tired….
speaking of tired, I may head to bed soon. Am guessing hubby is still with friends otherwise I would have heard from him. I am driving into the city tomorrow as well so I might have a slight sleep in and leave here at 6.15am, which means I should – in theory – get to work by 7.15am barring traffic issues, I will wait up until 11 though just in case 😀

Justin Bieber just revealed he has a baby daughter!!!
All we want to know is who the mother is!
Justin Bieber has had his fair share of baby daddy controversy since his rise to fame. Back in 2010 a 27-year-old European woman claimed she had a mini-Bieber bun in the oven! More recently, a woman in San Diego claimed her daughter was Bieber's love child! She even filed for child support! Fortunately for Biebs, both of these claims proved to be false, but this time he's the one saying he is officially a daddy!
His recent Instagram post of him holding a bay girl with the caption "My daughter..." seems to be confirmation that the super star has been hiding a secret baby daughter from us!! The question we want answered is: WHO IS THE MOTHER???
Of course, his fans were asking the same thing.... we have so many questions! Luckily, his full post gave us the truth!
Turn to the next page to see the actual post!
Seems the joke's on us! After expanding the full post, it turns out Biebs was just kidding.... and he definitely had us fooled! That baby looks so much like him! We wonder who she really is.... Oh well. One thing we do know is Bieber will definitely make a fine looking dad one day!

Is seminary safe? Scandals have turned scrutiny on seminary culture and formation
"How do I know my son is safe in the seminary?"
A parent of a seminarian recently posed that question to Bishop Andrew Cozzens, the interim rector of the St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity in St. Paul. It was the first time he'd been asked that in 15 years of involvement in seminary formation, and it was a "very painful" question to hear, he said.
But he understands why it was asked. Nationally, seminary formation has come under scrutiny following allegations that former-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick sexually harassed seminarians, and that sexual misconduct has been tolerated in some seminaries. Cardinal Sean O'Malley of Boston canceled a trip to the World Meeting of Families in Dublin last month to address allegations of sexual misconduct in his archdiocesan seminary, and allegations of sexual misconduct have surfaced against a now-deceased former vocations director of the Diocese of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania grand jury report detailing clergy sexual abuse in that state over 70 years includes accounts that the behavior of some priests later named as abuse perpetrators was red-flagged during seminary preparation, but they were allowed to be ordained.
In the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, seminary leaders are confident that the overall culture and formation process are healthy, and they are shaping future priests in a way that helps them form appropriate and authentic relationships with each other and their some-day parishioners.
Element of trust
As seminarians returned to the archdiocese's seminaries this fall, their rectors have sought to address concerns head-on with all-staff meetings and informal conversations.
"As soon as the stories around former Cardinal McCarrick were breaking, we realized that we needed to address this very directly with the seminarians, because that story highlighted the fact that seminarians find themselves in a vulnerable position. That is, they need the approval of their superiors in order to move towards ordination," Bishop Cozzens said. "We wanted to make sure that they knew that we would never tolerate anyone who would abuse that vulnerability in any way."
To parents and seminarians, Bishop Cozzens has been making it clear that seminarians are indeed safe at the St. Paul Seminary, and that they can trust the seminary's leaders.
"The key is that the formation we're trying to do in the seminary requires trust," he told The Catholic Spirit. "That has to be mutual trust. They have to trust us. We have to trust them. The seminarians have to trust the faculty, and the faculty have to trust the seminarians. That's the only way that the kind of human growth that is needed in the seminary can happen, … so we needed to establish right away that this is a safe environment."
Bishop Cozzens said he talked about the Church's current scandals with seminarians during class meals and said he wanted them to know they could talk about it. He said that seminarians have told him that they do feel safe at SPS and SJV, and that the descriptions they've read in the media of untoward behavior, including an active homosexual subculture tolerated or even encouraged by superiors, "were very foreign to them," he said.
Still, it's something that's on their minds. Bishop Cozzens said one seminarian told him that every conversation he'd had over the prior three weeks had touched on the Church's current scandal, because the other person always brought it up.
Bishop Cozzens said it's been a priority for seminary faculty to make sure seminarians feel supported right now.
"We know they feel the heaviness of this, and we want them not to be alone in that heaviness but to feel supported in it," he said.
Both the St. Paul Seminary and St. John Vianney College Seminary held meetings Sept. 5 with seminarians, faculty and staff.
At the St. Paul Seminary meeting, "I made clear the sort of culture of transparency and moral accountability that we expect in the seminary, the fact that we expect everyone in the community to live the Church's teaching on chastity … [and] if they see a violation of chastity in any way, they should not be afraid to bring that forward."
Those meetings included outside resources available to the seminarians, including the University of St. Thomas' Title IX coordinator; the archdiocese's director of ministerial standards and safe environment, Tim O'Malley; and Tom Johnson, an independent ombudsman for abuse claims in the archdiocese.
"We wanted them to know … if they had a problem, they could bring it to one of the [seminary] faculty or staff, but they should feel free to go to whatever resources they need in order to feel safe," Bishop Cozzens said.
This year, SPS has enrolled 89 seminarians from 14 dioceses and one religious community.
At St. John Vianney College Seminary, which, like SPS, is located on the St. Thomas campus in St. Paul, rector Father Michael Becker said he's had similar conversations and meetings with the undergraduate-level seminarians. He's confident in how it approaches human formation, including chastity and sexuality.
"When I got here [in 2010], we were already on top of helping the guys be chaste and trying to guide the men into healing and be honest with those we think may not be best suited for the priesthood," he said. "The experience of [Archbishop] McCarrick and Pennsylvania and all that has been heavy in the Church at large. But my seminarians in a large majority say, 'Father, it just makes me want to show the people all the more what a holy priest can be like.'"
Emphasis on human formation
The sex abuse scandals that broke in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis in 2013 caused the seminary then "to take another good look at the formation process," said Bishop Cozzens, who was an instructor at SPS at the time. That included contracting auditors in 2014 to review their formation process from admission to ordination, on the recommendation of the archdiocese's Safe Environment and Ministerial Standards Task Force. The assessment was positive, he said, but the seminary continues to evaluate how it can improve.
The archdiocese's Tim O'Malley is among those assisting seminary leadership in that goal. He and Janell Rasmussen, the archdiocese's deputy director of ministerial standards and safe environment, teach at St. Paul Seminary several times a year, and they've also met with staff twice in the past six months.
When speaking with seminarians Sept. 5, O'Malley said he specifically addressed the kinds of allegations against Archbishop McCarrick. "In a nutshell, we emphasized that every single person there, from the rector to the seminarian who just arrived a week ago, a brand-new student, they all have to be held accountable for their actions, and they are all responsible for a safe environment," he said.
From his direct involvement and review of prior seminary assessments, O'Malley said he thinks "it's in very good shape."
"Because of the policies in place, it is safe," he said, "but to all of them [the seminarians] out there, I told them … if it is a very safe environment, then we have a responsibility to affirm that we keep it that way. And if there are any individual problems, we have a responsibility to deal with those. … I don't have any reason to doubt that it's a very good place right now."
However, O'Malley and Rasmussen are currently examining the seminary's processes from a potential seminarian's first contact with the seminary to ordination.
"We are in the process now of deciding what else our office can do, and what other roles lay leadership could play in making sure that this is as thorough and effective a process as can be in place," he said.
Formation across the country has been reshaped in the past 25 years by "Pastores Dabo Vobis" ("I Will Give You Shepherds"), a 1992 apostolic exhortation from St. John Paul II that articulated the four "dimensions" of priestly formation: human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral. While "human formation" has long been an aspect of seminary foundation, it only recently has been identified as a distinct category, said Sister Katarina Schuth, a member of the Sisters of St. Francis of Rochester and St. Paul Seminary professor emerita of its Endowed Chair for Social Scientific Study of Religion. She has studied seminary formation since 1984 and joined the St. Paul Seminary faculty in 1993.
In "Pastores Dabo Vobis," St. John Paul II described human formation as the cultivation "of a series of human qualities" for the "proper and due growth and realization of self … with a view to ministry." He called it "the basis of all priestly formation."
In the U.S., the document prompted seminaries to begin to put greater focus on human formation, Sister Schuth said, but that need was especially underscored a decade later, with the sexual abuse crisis following the Boston Globe's investigation of clerical sexual abuse in that archdiocese and an outpouring of allegations that followed elsewhere.
Prior to the mid-1980s, many people thought clergy sexual abuse was an extremely rare occurrence, Sister Schuth said. Few crimes were reported. By the late 1980s, some seminaries had begun to respond to an increase in the number of allegations. After 2002, seminaries took significant steps to improve the formation process, including the screening for admittance and emphasis on human formation.
Statistics indicate that the improvements in seminary formation have made an impact. Nearly 18,400 claims of clerical sexual abuse in the U.S. had been made through 2017, most of them occurring between 1960 and 1984. A total of 138 instances in the U.S. occurred after 2004, accounting for 1.5 percent of abuse cases overall.
Quality 'never been better'
Bishop Cozzens has been serving as the seminary's interim rector since June, when rector emeritus Msgr. Aloysius Callaghan transitioned to a new role. The seminary's new rector, Omaha priest Father Joseph Taphorn, will take the helm in January.
"In my opinion, the quality of formation overall has never been better than what it is right now," Bishop Cozzens said, and he expects it only to improve with every generation.
He said the credit is due to the quality of the seminary's formators — faculty members who mentor men in the formation process — and the presence of a full-time staff psychologist, Paul Ruff.
When Ruff joined the SPS staff in 2014 as its first in-house psychologist, he had already been working with the seminary as a therapist on a referral basis and as an administrator of applicants' extensive psychological evaluations. His own personal wrestling with the local sexual abuse crisis compelled him to want to do what he could to ensure strong seminary formation, he said.
Ruff's work is threefold: to counsel seminarians, teach on human formation, and foster a cohesive approach to formation among seminary faculty, including reflection on what "formation" means.
"Formation is not information, and it's not just conformity," he said. "It's really about engaging the man in the process that God is calling him into, and growth. And he's going to be blind to some aspects of that" — which, he said, is what a seminarian's formators help him to "see."
However, seminaries can err in the direction of "mostly monitoring men," Ruff said, but that's not what he promotes at SPS.
"If you're mainly looking for what's problematic in a man and focusing on that, then bringing that to the man's attention when you see problematic things, the dilemma you create is that you're going to start to train a sort of culture where you keep your head down," he said.
Instead, St. Paul Seminary formators focus on identifying and supporting a seminarian's "positive growth" in the human, spiritual, intellectual and pastoral dimensions, Ruff said, "helping the man hear his own internal voice about his call to growth and invite more and more transparency."
Father Allen Kuss is SPS' director of pastoral formation, but he also serves as a formator for individual seminarians. (Seminarians are also assigned an academic advisor and spiritual director.) He said that the formators truly have a sense of who a man is, and his bar is, "Would I want him serving my family members?"
"From my part, it is about making sure that the man is well-rounded, that he has the basic skills needed for leadership, the capacity for it, the tools [he needs] so he can continue to develop," Father Kuss said. "In ministry, as in medicine and many other professions, it's a lifelong development. It's not just four years and you're done, and that's it."
St. Paul Seminary has made the importance of lifelong formation explicit with the Institute for Ongoing Clergy Formation, which it launched for priests and deacons. Among the IOCF's upcoming events are a five-day workshop on pastoral management, a three-day silent retreat on "the interior life of the priest," and a clergy study day on "fruitful chastity." It also has special programs for new priests and priests becoming pastors. Like seminary formation, the IOCF revolves around the pastoral, spiritual, human and intellectual dimensions of formation.
The program is also unique to the archdiocese. Its director, Deacon Dan Gannon, doesn't know of anything like it elsewhere.
"It's really a response to the direction of the Church, in a positive way," said Deacon Gannon, a deacon of the Diocese of LaCrosse, Wisconsin. "It's a positive movement to provide this kind of ongoing formation across these different dimensions in a way that helps the men continue to become more well rounded."
Father Chad VanHoose, associate pastor of All Saints in Lakeville, was among recently ordained priests who attended an IOCF retreat at Christ the King Retreat Center in Buffalo in late August. Ordained in 2017, he said he "felt very well prepared" by the St. Paul Seminary for ministry and life as a priest.
"I thought it was a very well thought-out and improving process," he said. "A good thing happening at the seminary is that they're not locked-in to one particular thing. They're willing to continue to evolve for the needs of our current situation and times, and to get healthier and healthier. … It's no surprise that if you have a healthy seminary, your priests are going to be healthier."
Encouraged about future Church
While he's temporarily leading the St. Paul Seminary, Bishop Cozzens is also helping to shape seminaries nationwide. He's joined with other seminary leaders to create a national program for training seminary formators. The program was inspired both by necessity — nothing of its kind existed — and a document published in 2016 by the Congregation for the Clergy under Pope Francis, which emphasized "personal accompaniment as the main means of formation" for seminarians, Bishop Cozzens said. The first cohort will complete its two-year program in February.
Ultimately, he said, formation for the priesthood is a lengthy and intense process. For most men, it's six to eight years of rigorous, personal formation.
"It's hard to think about any other group of professionals who are getting more intense formation than what we're giving the young men who are becoming priests. I think that's a very positive thing," he said. "You can see how seriously the Church takes formation, because we dedicate so many resources to it."
Bishop Cozzens said that he wants all Catholics to know that the St. Paul Seminary is "a joyful place," and that its seminarians "come with hearts deeply in love with Jesus Christ and a deep desire to share that love by making a gift of themselves."
"If you could spend time with them every day like I get to right now, you would be deeply encouraged about the future of the Church," he added, "because there are many good men here who could do a lot of things with their lives, and they're choosing to dedicate their lives to the priesthood of Jesus Christ."
- Abuse allegations against Cardinal McCarrick found credible
- Msgr. Callaghan's leadership rooted in working-class Pennsylvania, gold-leafed Rome
- Father Taphorn named new rector of St. Paul Seminary

Virginia Beach, Va. – It was in 1931 that Edgar Cayce gave the first reading on an annual Members Congress, suggesting that each year a meeting of A.R.E. members from around the world should gather at A.R.E.'s Virginia Beach headquarters, with the reports made by representatives as well as speakers that would renew the faith, confidence, purposes, and aims of the work itself.
Since its founding that very same year, the Association for Research and Enlightenment has held 83 A.R.E. Member Congresses at the Virginia Beach Headquarters in accordance with Cayce's reading. The original purposes of Congress remain in this week of fellowship, communication, education, inspiration, celebration, and interaction between worldwide A.R.E. Members, staff, and A.R.E.'s Board of Trustees. Each year, hundreds from around the world come to participate in special programs, workshops, activities, and more. The year 2015 will mark the 84th Annual A.R.E. Members Congress and is set to be one of the most memorable yet.
Open to members AND nonmembers, attendees at this year's gathering will find favorite speakers like Sidney and Nancy Kirkpatrick, Mark Thurston PhD, Donald Carroll, Peter Woodbury MSW, Kevin J. Todeschi MA, and more. The A.R.E. is especially pleased to announce this year's special guest: Faith Hope Charity Harding. Faith, known as "The Little Prophetess" throughout her childhood, received two Cayce readings in which Cayce revealed her past incarnations to be Saint Cecilia (the patron saint of musicians) and before that, Elizabeth (the mother of John the Baptist and cousin of the Virgin Mary). During one of her readings, Archangel Michael made an appearance giving warning to protect and love her, and keep her from harm. Faith, much like Cayce, provided many accurate prophecies delivered in biblical language…however she did so as a small child. She was featured in Time magazine, on popular radio shows, and had a weekly newspaper column. Cayce even invited Faith to one of the first A.R.E. Members Congresses, however it would not come to fruition due to a bitter custody battle between her parents. The A.R.E. extended Edgar's original invitation for Faith to visit Virginia Beach and attend this year's Congress, and she generously agreed to appear on Sunday, June 21.
This Congress is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Congress admission will be $85 for both A.R.E. Members and non-Members, and it is encouraged that attendees register online in advance. This event is open to all, and A.R.E. Life Members may redeem their Life Member passes. For more information or to register, please contact the A.R.E. conference registrars at 800-333-4499 or 757-428-3588, ext. 7401, or visit us online at EdgarCayce.org/conferences. A portion of this event will be live streamed on the EdgarCayce.org website. Please visit EdgarCayce.org/online to learn more.
Edgar Cayce founded the non-profit Association for Research and Enlightenment (A.R.E.) in 1931, to explore spirituality, holistic health, intuition, dream interpretation, psychic development, reincarnation, and ancient mysteries—all subjects that frequently came up in the more than 14,000 documented psychic readings given by Cayce, who died in 1945. The mission of A.R.E. is simply to help people around the world change their lives for the better through the ideas and information found in the Cayce readings. The Virginia Beach headquarters is a popular site for locals and tourists with free daily lectures, a Health Center & Spa, the Cayce/Reilly® School of Massage, an extensive metaphysical library, a meditation garden, a stone labyrinth, and a bookstore and gift shop. Visitors from around the world come to experience conferences featuring speakers on subjects like ancient mysteries, holistic health, and spiritual development. The campus is also home to Atlantic University (AU), which offers two masters degrees (Transpersonal Studies and Leadership Studies) through an online platform, as well as continuing education and certificate programs. Through A.R.E.'s many programs, services, publications, and membership outreach, individuals from all walks of life and religious backgrounds are provided with tools for personal transformation and healing at all levels—body, mind, and spirit. For more information, please visit EdgarCayce.org.

Pair of simple flies prove deadly for early-season trout
Is there anything better than standing knee-deep in a trout stream on a perfect spring day?
The current pushes around my legs while I listen to the special music of the water as it tumbles over the rocks in the riffle before me. I watch the shimmering highlights on that busy water, sparkling like hundreds of tiny diamonds in the April sun as I target my next cast.
The fly line settles delicately on the water and drifts naturally downstream as the flies sink toward the stream bottom where I expect a trout to be waiting. A subtle twitch of the leader tells me I guessed right. I raise the rod tip and feel the electric surge of a brown trout fighting the sting of the hook. A perfect day just got better.
I'm sure most trout fishermen have experienced the imagery described in that opening paragraph. I was privileged to repeat that scenario multiple times last Thursday afternoon. But that great day on the water almost didn't happen. My plans that day were to catch up on some chores around the house, including writing my column for this week.
A friend of mine sent me a text message and asked if I could meet him at lunchtime to pick up a batch of flies I had tied for him. At that meeting, he reminded me that rain was in forecast for Friday and through the weekend, which could mess up the fishing. That's what convinced me to adjust my plans and take advantage of the glorious weather that afternoon.
A couple of hours later, I was pulling on my waders beside one of my favorite small streams. The stream was clear, but the water levels were a bit higher than I would have liked. Despite that, I strung up my favorite small-stream fly rod, an Orvis 7-foot, 4-weight that casts like a dream. I rigged a pair of dependable flies to my leader and headed downstream to a pool that usually produces a fish or two. On the third or fourth cast, a fat brown trout snatched one of my flies and elevated my confidence. A little more than three and a half hours later, I had managed to coax 21 more browns and rainbows from a nice stretch of pocket water before calling it a day.
I fished the entire afternoon with the same two patterns, a pair of flies that have become my go-to offerings for early-season trout. The first of those is my version of the classic Pheasant Tail Nymph. I tie it on a 2X long nymph hook like a Mustad 9671 or TMC 5262, or a 1X long wet fly hook like the Mustad 3906B or TMC 3671. For weight, I use a tungsten bead in metallic brown, although copper or gold will do fine. For the tail, use three or four reddish-brown fibers from a ring-necked pheasant tail feather and another six to eight fibers wound around the hook shank for the abdomen of the fly. I like to rib the abdomen with fine copper wire to make the fly more durable.
Next, make a short thorax from dark brown or reddish-brown dubbing or peacock herl. Finish the fly by winding two or three turns of a brown or reddish-brown soft hackle next to the bead. My preference is feathers from the head or neck of a hen pheasant, but brown partridge or brown hen hackle also work well.
The other half of this deadly duo is a simple soft-hackle wet fly tied on a 1X long wet fly hook like the Mustad 3906B or TMC 3671. For this pattern, I like a tungsten bead in metallic olive or gold. The body is hare's ear dubbing, the same material used to tie the popular Hare's Ear Nymph. Keep the body on the slim side and rib it with fine, oval silver tinsel. Finish the fly with a couple of turns of gray partridge hackle. Grizzly hen hackle, brown partridge or hen pheasant also make effective variations.
I tie both patterns in sizes 12, 14 and 16 and switch to the smaller sizes as the season progresses and water levels get lower and clearer. Most of the time, I fish them together with the Pheasant Tail Special at the end of the leader and the Hare's Ear on a short dropper 15 to 18 inches above the point fly.
In higher flows as I experienced last week, I'll add a small split shot 6 to 8 inches above the dropper and another between the two flies to get them down as necessary.
I believe the Pheasant Tail Special provides a likely imitation for many of the mayfly nymphs that hatch on many streams during the early and mid-season. The Hare's Ear Soft Hackle, on the other hand, mimics emerging caddis pupae, many species of which are important food sources in most trout streams throughout the year.
Regardless of what they fish think they are, these two patterns have become consistent producers for several seasons now. They are always in my fly boxes and quite often on my leader.

We all admire the Junior with a strong body. We admire the fastest runner, the fastest swimmer, and the one who can jump the highest. The body deserves more careful attention than the finest watch or the most expensive bicycle.
Some people say that it doesn't make any difference to God what a person eats or drinks. Men sometimes say, "Well, I think what I eat is my own business, and it has nothing to do with religion." As we look into God's words , it is very surprising to see how much help is given us in regard to food and health. The Holy Scriptures says;
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (I Corinthians 6:19,20)
We are not our own to do what we please. Jesus died for our sins. When we surrender our lives and hearts to Him, we are His from that time on. He dwells in us; we become His earthly temple or dwelling place.
Any church member would think it was terrible to bring some unclean thing into a church. It is just bad for us to take into our body temples that which God has called unclean.
Soldiers, sailors and marines are carefully instructed in the best ways to develop strong bodies. So also the soldiers of Christ should keep his body in the very best condition. If we are to be wide awake to spiritual things, we must have a healthy body. We must prosper in body and soul – in health and in heart, as the gospel states;
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (III John 2)
God gave man fruits, nuts, grains and vegetables for food. Then, after the Flood, He permitted the use of meats. This was about 850 years before the law of Moses was given. However, the Bible divides every animals, birds, and fish into two classes: (1) the clean which may be eaten for food, and (2) the unclean, which are strictly forbidden as food. So important is this distinction that when God called His chosen people, Israel, He asked Moses to list carefully for them the clean and the unclean meats. Moses provided the list although the distinction was already given during the Flood. (Genesis 7:2).
Living creatures in the water may be eaten if they have both fins and scales. That is why the followers of Christ not eat crabs, lobster, catfish, eels, and shrimps, for instance. These do not have both fins and scales.
Furthermore, if animal has a divided hoof and chews the cud, as do the cow, the deer and the sheeps, etc., it may be eaten. If it does not both divided the hoof, and chew the cud, it if forbidden for God. For instance, the rabbit chews the cud but does not divide the hoof. Therefore it should never be eaten. The hog has divided the hoof but does not chew the cud. It is forbidden. That's why Christians should not use the bacon, ham, pork in any form, nor should they cook with lard. The Bible pronounces them unclean.
Pork is one of the most dangerous of meats. It often contents a tiny worm or parasite, which causes a disease called trichinosis. It causes heart trouble , cramps, and dangerous intestinal trouble. How thankful we should be that God did not try to hide facts from His people. He knows the nature of every animal and he knows the harm that may come from the use of its flesh as food. In His love, God has warned us not to eat unclean animals.
The Holy Scriptures trying to tell us that if anyone defiles his body temple, God will destroy him. It shows that the prohibition against eating swine's flesh and other unclean animals will still be in force at the time of Jesus coming. In fact, the prophecy declares;
For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD. (Isaiah 66:15-17)
Furthermore, the words of God said;
The LORD made this covenant with you so that no man, woman, family, or tribe among you would turn away from the LORD our God to worship these gods of other nations, and so that no root among you would bear bitter and poisonous fruit.
The LORD will not pardon such people. His anger and jealousy will burn against them. All the curses written in this book will come down on them, and the LORD will erase their names from under heaven. (Deuteronomy 29:18,20)
God will not save those who disobey His will in such matters as the use of poisonous fruits, as well as poisonous herbs. Yet there are several poisons which many Christians use freely, like tobacco and those which defines as "illegal drugs". The law of life is: "Whatsoever soweth, that he shall also reap." If you so bad habits, you will reap trouble in the end, if not now.
God said;
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. (Isaiah 55:2)
It is a sin to waste money on harmful things such as tobacco and illegal drugs. Lets not waste any of our money on Satan's products. In matters of drink, God said;
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (Prov.20:1)
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. (Luke 21:34)
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. (I Corinthians 10:31)
We cannot partake of forbidden meats and forbidden drinks and live to the glory of God. If we are to be saved, we must be pure in body as Jesus was.

I just got back from a family reunion of sorts. My one cousin and his wife drove in from out-of-state for a visit. While my other cousin who resides an ocean away in another country is also visiting for the summer, unbeknownst to me. I know what you are probably thinking right now of all the things for her to write about a family dinner, really? But just bear with me.
My family is big, loud, crazy, and altogether hysterically ridiculous. We tell funny stories, bad jokes, and each others most embarrassing moments. We drive each other crazy, love from a distance, and hold our matriarch in highest regard. We are mismatched, ridiculously stubborn, charm laden (some more than others), individuals with strong personalities. We are separate, distinct entities, that are united together by a simple and yet fragile bond. A bond that took generations and perfect timing to create. Tonight my big hungarian family was in full force; laughter, food, and endless amounts of chatter. That has been and will always be the atmosphere of our family.
As I sat at the table I took some time to truly observe the moment. I watched as my grandmother held and interacted with her great-grandson both of them all smiles. Then there were my two aunts sitting across from me, sisters now in their fifties still whispering secret conversations to each other. Across the way this sister bond was being mirrored by my two cousins one in her twenties the other just beginning thirty, alone on a bench they shared their own moments of life, love, reality, and who knows what else. The rest of the family was in their own little circles conversing upon both past and present.
While taking in this view it suddenly hit me that most often misquoted proverb that "the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb." That was the truth of the moment that it wasn't our bloodline that kept us there united as a family but instead the covenant that each one of us made to be family. We could easily all go our own ways without every interacting with each other ever again. However, our love and commitment (no matter how irritatingly frustrating we each can be) to each other is the substance which binds us – not the bloodline. We see this reality every time a new member is added through marriage. We also see it when members who once shared that binding walk away. There will always be a place for them amongst us and we will always welcome them back but it is their decision and not ours to make. We feel the loss for every member which is missing either by death or dissociation. But that is the burden of family it is the cost of committed love.
Family it can be wonderful, irritating, frustrating, strengthening, and ridiculous. In the end, however, it is the best decision you can ever make. Because even on the worst of days in the back of your mind you know that you are loved and with that truth you can always face another day.
So to my big hungarian family I love you and I always will.

We all today know who Rodger Federer is and how prestigious it is to play at Wimbledon. For some, this passion for tennis became real and they started playing it themselves. However, club memberships are expensive and the competitiveness detracts from the pleasure of hitting the ball over the net.
That is why more and more people are adopting the idea of turning their gardens into tennis courts. Believe it or not, but this is not so hard to achieve. In fact, since a tennis court is in many cases comprised only of a net, the garden can be converted back to its original function in no time.
There are several steps on the road to turning your garden into a home tennis court and here are the most important ones.
Choosing the Location
Since a tennis court is on average some 24 meters long and 8 meters wide, it shouldn't be too hard to find a flat surface of that area inside your garden. Flatness is the key factor when it comes to deciding on a particular spot you choose.
Regardless of the surface you choose, there shouldn't be any bumps caused by roots or upturned turfs. The method for preparing the soil for surface laying can differ, but you can't go wrong at this stage if you remove all rocks from the ground.
Marking the Court
Once you're done measuring the sides, you can start marking the lines. This can be done by paint similar to the one you see on football pitches. If you don't want to spend money on that or you feel uncertain if you will know how to mark the court properly, spray paint or chalk are neat solutions as well.
As an alternative, you can use a long and wide piece of white string and nail it to the ground using wooden pickets that will secure new lines in place. This method is useful if you ever wish to remove the court quickly because you need the garden space for something else, like a barbecue. It would be awkward to host your friends on a field with white stripes all over.
The Lighting
Since you're already going through so much trouble to construct a tennis court, it would be a waste of space to use it only during daytime. Tennis matches can take a long period to finish so players might be forced to play at dusk. It would be nice to have some artificial light then, wouldn't it?
Proper tennis court lighting is, therefore, more of a necessity than a luxury. Today there are companies who specialize in erecting lighting columns for backyard versions of pretty much any sport, so this installation would be hassle-free. Choosing the right surface might prove to be a tougher decision to make.
The Surface
Once the location for the court has been picked out, the next thing is to choose the surface. There are three basic ones, with grass being the easiest to implement. In fact, if your grass is well kept and you haven't planned to spend any money on surface laying, you can just leave things as they are. Alternatively, you can plant new grass. This surface is soft and it will host a slower game of tennis.
The trademark surface of tennis is definitely clay. While it is easy to place it, since you just basically put it on the ground and distribute it evenly, clay is very hard to maintain. You would literally have to become the maintenance guy since these courts need constant watering during summer months. Otherwise, the clay just evaporates just like any dirt would.
Finally, there are hard surfaces that are responsible for the fastest tennis matches. There are different finishes to them, like the acrylic one, but they all require you to introduce concrete in your garden. That is why they aren't too comfortable to play on and they absorb the heat during summer, creating a greenhouse effect in the garden which is supposed to shield you from high temperatures.

The Net
Beside racquets and tennis balls, the net is an essential element of the game of tennis. They are made from various materials, mostly rope or plastic, and they come in all sizes. Measure the length and height that matches your home court and shop accordingly. They can be found in pretty much any sporting goods store or ordered online for a bargain price. Actually, putting up the net is the cheapest item in the entire project.
In general, nets are kept in place by two poles that you would have to dig holes for. If you're not happy to burrow through your garden, then one end can be attached to a tree or a washing line pole. This will give a homely look to your tennis court.
Out of all the sports venues that you can turn your garden into, tennis is the most rewarding. Not only will you be physically active, but you will retain the tranquil element that your garden offers. That is, if you opt to have a grassy surface

FindComparables ( FieldList ; idFieldName )
List IDs of records that match all values in a specified set of fields
Average rating: 4.0 (3 votes) Log in to vote
|Peter Vinogradov - Show more from this author
Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)
Given a list of fields, return the id (based on idFieldName) for all records in the current table whose values in the specified fields match the values in the current record
Say I have a table of cars, with fields Make, Model, Year, Color, etc., and I want to find all other cars who exactly match the record I'm working on, as I enter values. So when I enter "2003", I want to see all other 2003 cars. Then when I enter "Toyota" I want to filter down to all 2003 Toyotas, etc.
This function returns the IDs of all matching records (including the current record, but you can filter that out if desired). That ID list can then be used for a key match.
Mostly, I need this for on-the-fly duplicate checking.
I haven't tested this in production yet, so please excuse any glitches, and if I'm overlooking a similar function here, or if there is some obvious way to do this more elegantly without a CF, please comment below - thanks!

The title poetry sequence of my collection, "The Bad Seed"
The title poetry sequence of my collection, "The Bad Seed"
by Dee Sunshine29 Oct 2019
This one is sunset red, rich as womb blood,
Thick as flesh:
It tastes of fire and sex
And finger probes the hollow folds
Of dormant rotten mass
While eggshell strips are slowly ripped
With tainted talons and Godless taunts.
The blue is sharp, neon, etheric,
Cauterising the eyes,
A topography of dilapidated sky:
It shrivels the soul
In static strata -
The stark vastness
Of its wide open
Restless space,
A question mark?
And this fibre of daffadown yellow:
It grips and scorches
The sleeping heart
With cruel springtime
Flick knife twists -
A cabbage moth
On wings of vacant hope.
These strands of primal colour
Weaving through light and dark
Spirals of sunken spectrum:
A loom of illumination;
Its cloth,
A spectral aquarelle
Of phosphorescent wash,
An edgeless sfumato rainbow;
But ever deceptive
To the finger's tentative touch.
See this pink one?
It promises purification:
The cold calm recollection
Of selfless, soul-embracing love,
But do not listen to its lies -
For like a siren sat on coral rocks
Its song will surely tempt you
To the massive heaving shoreline
And dash your spirit to dust.
And this mossy Kerry green:
A corrosive mist which dimly caresses
The steely harp's catgut strings,
Ringing out a saline tune
Which rusts the bridge
Which spans the years
From battered birth to wistful grave.
And all these colours, a blurred contusion
And all the polychromatic confusion
From mother of pearl to brown and grey,
A myriad hues of every shade:
From sable strokes on sacking cloth
And pigment smears of clotted oil,
The sheeted mirror of wants and needs;
A lust for life and trust in death,
A karmic cheque of thoughts and deeds,
These rainbow ribbons which steal the breath.
The web is flexible, but tightly spun,
Allowing the illusion of movement
Whilst holding you fast.
There is the smell of cordite and sweat
And a vague hint of threat,
But nothing tangible,
Nothing you can grasp
(And anyway, your hands are tied).
You dance in the shaman's shadow,
A whirling dervish,
Trailing ribbons in your wake,
In acid arcs of burning colour.
You are dancing in a dreamscape,
A shifting topography
Of ruined cities, deserts
And empty highways.
There is a vague hint of holocaust,
But nothing tangible
(And anyway, it's always summer now
In your dreams).
Imagine then, the book of the dead,
Lying unread
On your bedside table.
Imagine the smells of sex and sweat,
The upturned cup of blood,
The vomit pile
Of black bile flowers.
Now, enter the actor, stage left:
A cascade of black narcissi
Clasped to his breast.
He kisses them in the half light
With fat petulant lips
All a pouting;
And plucks them from their stems
With fickle finger tips
As his audience watches, delighted,
In suspense,
Waiting for something to snap.
And in the unlit back alley
Where the wind whips up
The weekend's detritus
A primal drama is re-enacted:
Hunter and quarry
A pornographic hieroglyph -
In the stillness of the night.
And then you're back in this city room
With the rain falling all over the blankets
And her sobbing beside you,
A broken doll
In your thick arms,
A thesaurus of platitudes
spilling from your tongue,
And the echo of a scream
Ringing round your ears.
Then the contractions come on,
And tighter still:
There's klaxons and sirens and bells;
And ribbons, all pretty coloured,
Blowing about like a bloody jamboree.
He was naked on the motorway, running away:
Tattered fetters trailing from his wrists;
The sweat dribbling in his eyes,
He was running blind:
His head, a blur
Of cathode radiation.
It was a particularly twisted sadism
That caused them to inflict upon him
The hollow brands and blandishments
Peculiar to their station.
"Cruel to be kind
And kind to be cruel." They said,
Whilst rubbing together
Their fat glutinous hands
And secreting saliva
From involuntary glands.
And all the while inside,
Deep inside,
The small boy
Who's trying to hide:
The small boy
They cannot touch
Who misses his mummy
Very much.
And through the filthy smog of time
With all its chaos and its grime
You want to reach and grab the light
And assure the boy it'll be alright.
But there's no reaching back now:
The turnpike here
Only twists one way
and the turnpike keeper
Must be paid.
You know these celluloid strips
Lodged in your brain?
They cannot be edited:
Only played
Again and again and again.
They made him take the ribbons in his hands
And tie them up in patterns and proportions
With numbers and common denominations
In fractious factions
Associated with corporations
Where mumbo jumbo preachers preached:
"Each according to his station"
And pointing pedants each repeated
A list of rules and regulations
While tangents curved their measured arcs
Of quadratic inequation
(and this indeed they deigned to call
A 'comprehensive' education).
They said it was good for him, this.
They said it was good, but he never heard.
He just went right on crying
On and on about the dead bird:
The dead bird on the splattered tarmac,
All red blood and neon green.
So they tied him up and made him smile
and stuffed his head with cotton wool
And filled him up unto the brim
With whisky, sex and gold.
They said that it was good for him,
Good for him to be a man:
So he smiled & drunk & fucked & fought
And placed a mask upon his face.
And when at last he was undone
They let him go upon his way,
Past the turnpike and the toll
Then over the hills and faraway.
He watched,
In shock,
The black bird
Spiral and fall
And crash,
Crash black
Into the tarmac:
A slash of black
Thru' a sky
Of silver and neon.
Sweet bird of death,
Sweet bird
In a sick green world.
He stooped over
And watched:
So unable to touch.
Charcoal thing,
So little
In its broken wings
With its broken eyes
And broken beak.
In the charnel soil:
Falling and flailing
In short sharp gasps
Of the nervous end.
These brackish waters
Do not slake the thirst,
Nor put out
The acid fires
That burn the holes within.
This bird is shallow shadow:
A grey echo, receding,
Retreating into grey dawn -
Its bleached bones, broken;
The gawping beak
Singing no song.
This seed has grown within:
A barren twisted tree;
Its roots thrust into acrid soil;
Its branches flocked
With winged cadavers
Who fuck and fight
And eat and shite
Under awnings
Of rotten blossom
And disappointed fruit.
The girl with the sugarsweet smile
Is no longer sweet or smiling:
Her face is copper green,
Scrubbed clean
Of all expression;
Any lingering trace of secretion
Has neatly been showered away.
The only tangible impression
Of any emotion
Is seen in the trembling of hands;
And these you imagine
Viciously pulling,
Tighter and tighter,
The ribbons around your brain.
In the pissing river,
Drinking the dust
Into your lungs:
And straining;
And all the while
The pissing river
Upon the terracotta ribbon strand
The Angel entreats him,
Silently pleading:
"Behold the lamb of God!"
The lamb stares blindly out
From bleeding inward eye,
Crying aloud: "My God, My God,
Why didst thou deceive me?"
Oil black crow
Sweeps a parabola arc
Crashing black
Into the tarmac.
The motorway is empty, eerie:
He treads the tarmac wordlessly,
Ether & blood & ice
Pumping to the rhythm of the night.
The Angel, all-knowing,
But elusive,
Gives a knowing look:
Alludes to the good seed
Buried safe
Behind the looking glass.
Crumpled by gravity,
He peers gravely
Into the glass:
A pool of fool's gold.
The crow,
Black and majestic,
And in one swift
Mercurial leap,
Impales the lamb
Upon his beak.
Stranded on the central reservation,
Soaked in oily spindrift,
With the seagulls calling:
Black waves crash
Upon shifting sands
And the sun beats down,
Along the strand,
Shimmering in heat haze,
An Angel approaches,
Then she's gone:
Just the motorway remaining;
And in the depths of sky,
No stars,
No fire -
Only the pissing river,
Her eyes are red and dry:
The war rages
In the dark corners
Of her head.
Mirrors and windows are sheeted:
Shadowy figures mourn
The passing
Of the dead.
He kisses her hair
And says: "there there"
But his mind is elsewhere.
He blows an indifferent whisper
Into the depths of her ear
And little shivers run thru' her,
Like the shivering of waves
On a cold blue sea.
Her eyes are pools:
Her mouth, a river;
Her body, an ocean.
He treads her restless shoreline,
Uneasily naked,
A starfish grasped
In his soft wet hand.
Fumble fingered,
He strokes it;
And filaments of dust
Detach and fall,
Feathery as spindrift.
She talks about her father;
And the dislocation
In the faraway spaces
Behind his eyes.
Her voice is soft,
Almost sobbing:
It murmurs like the riptide.
Her father had strange eyes:
He was a stranger
From a faraway place.
She touches her breast,
Cries a broken doll cry,
"Papa, papa."
Her eyes glaze,
Skin flowers red:
"Love me, love me," she says.
Her body thrashes beneath him:
An angry ocean,
And torn open.
They fuck on the motorway:
The crows go wild
And fly away.
She is cool, blue-eyed:
Slow as a river in floodtide.
The process is sad and unending:
A funeral procession
Thru' childhood streets;
Past crumbling buildings
And open closemouths
Where lovers trade
Darkling kisses,
Shaky and bursting.
His eyes are ashes,
His lips, dry:
The birds are scattered;
A flurry of black wings
Against a rusted metal sky.
Loneliness creeps upon him,
Wraps her tarry arms
Around his broken frame
And drags him further in.
She whispers her panic into his ears:
Endless channels and passages
Into empty space.
He is dreaming in empty space.
They fuck
In blind, groping fury,
Clinging together:
They come together
And come apart.
Her tears are a dream in empty space.
Her song is sung
And everything is done and undone.
They hold onto each other:
They hold on for dear life.

"With cevoTape we offer an alternative to expensive aeronautic-certified tapes", specifies Thorsten Groene, Managing Director of Cevotec. "It is suited for non-aeronautic applications, e.g. the automotive industry. We've already received solid interest from manufacturers of AFP / ATL equipment who are looking for tape material for their customers. Initial tests of cevoTape with their robotic layup heads were performed successfully."
Cevotec processes its own unidirectional carbon fiber tape (spread tow) in the SAMBA Series Fiber Patch Placement systems. But cevoTape is also perfectly matching the requirements of other automated fiber placement processes like AFP and ATL to create high quality laminates and can be used for a variety of different applications. cevoTape has a customized width within minimal tolerances and thanks to an integrated quality monitoring, it features a homogeneous filament distribution. The single-sided, uniformly distributed PA-Binder (Spunfab: PA1541, PA1300, further materials on request) is activated at temperatures from 90 to 160°C. Thus, cevoTape can be easily fixated during processing, and – another benefit – stored at room temperature.
"Customers may approach us with roving material of their choice and have us manufacture their individual tape", says Michl. "We process any high-quality fiber." Alternatively, there are pre-configured tapes using Tenax-E HTS45 fibers on stock, featuring 20 or 30 mm width and 80 – 107 gsm areal weight, separated with paper film, stored on Häfner spools (250 m, custom lengths on request).
Besides compatibility to the SAMBA Series manufacturing systems, Cevotec guarantees highest quality for all major placement processes as well as the dimensional tolerance of the tape that allows manufacturers to attain the high placement and operating precision they desire. "Such a tape quality achieves outstanding results in production processes and allows the economic application of AFP / ATL processes in non-aeronautic applications", concludes Michl.
Cevotec enables manufacturers to build complex fiber composites in high volume and quality – by applying smart process automation based on Fiber Patch Placement technology. With SAMBA Series, Cevotec offers tailored, automated fiber layup systems for challenging 3D geometries and laminates with complex fiber orientation. ARTIST STUDIO is the matching CAD-CAM software for generating patch-based fiber laminates and automated robot programming. Along with development services that include FE-based modeling and simulation, Cevotec offers the entire process chain from digital design to finished fiber product.

Fisherman Michael Kinnaird has been sentenced to four months in prison, suspended for two years, after pleading guilty to offences under the Merchant Shipping Act. He was also ordered to pay costs of £5,000 and £115 victim surcharge.
Kinnaird, who has more than 40 years' fishing trawler experience, had pleaded guilty at Plymouth magistrates court on December 6th. On the evening of October 7th Kinnaird's vessel, a 21metre trawler FV Algrie, with five crew on board left its moorings at Sutton Harbour, continued out of the harbour entrance and kept a steady course at seven knots before running aground at Mountbatten Breakwater. None of the crew was injured and there was no reported pollution as a result. The vessel suffered minor damage and it was recovered back to its moorings on the next high tide.
Kinnaird told MCA Enforcement Officers that had navigated into and out of the harbour hundreds of times, but on this occasion he had become confused when he saw lights from anglers who were fishing from the breakwater. He was asked why he didn't reduce his speed or reverse, use his navigation aids or even his spot light but he could give no answer.
In passing sentence, District Judge Taylor said that alcohol did affect Mr Kinnaird's actions that night and he didn't accept his explanation about being confused by the lights on the breakwater.

|- Heavy Duty Design For Outdoor Usage
- Great For Marinas, Truck Docks, Portable Goods
- 3 Foot Jacketed, Armored or Jacketed With Chain Lead
- Mounting Hardware Included
- Lifetime Warranty
GRI 4714-A Manual
The G.R.I. 4704/4714 Series has been designed for the problem security application where the free movement of the object in
question would make it impossible to utilize a standard magnetic proximity device.
The 4704-A consists of three major parts —
an actuating magnet housing, the switch probe and the probe receptacle.
The 4704-A can be used in place of standard surface mount switches to protect badly worn or ill fitting roll up doors, swinging gates or expanding metal curtains.
Also excellent for vehicle protection to prevent unauthorized movement, operation or theft of any mobile object that can be towed, driven or
otherwise moved such as tractor truck trailers, motor boats or recreation vehicles.
The new G.R.I. 4714 Series Heavy Duty Pull Apart switch set has the same features and options as our 4704 Series. The switch
has been moved into the mounted side of the unit which will stop breakage and improve durability.
The actuation magnet is now in the probe along with a supervisory loop.
The supervisory loop which consists of 2 conductor wire, is placed through 1/4" armored cable or woven through the links of a 3/16" chain.
Both options are available in custom lead and supervisory loop lengths.
The G.R.I. 4704 and 4714 Series Pull Apart Switch Sets are designed to protect any equipment, merchandise or object that is
stored where it is impossible to secure utilizing conventional devices, such as outside.
Examples would be golf carts, tires, lawn equipment, motorcycles and ATV's, rental equipment.

It's 4.30pm and the sun is up high in Southern Italy as I head backstage, passing through screaming fans who have been camping since the early morning. Rising stars The Kolors are still on stage finishing the soundcheck of one of the last dates of their first ever tour.
The Milan based band – who won the Italian TV music competition Amici – has been topping the charts for the past four months with their debut album Out and has recently been nominated for Best Italian Act at the 2015 EMAs.
The electro-pop band introduces its music as "a mixture of sounds from bands of the 80s like The Smiths, The Cure and Depeche Mode with a touch of more contemporary music such as Kanye West, Rihanna and Sia" .
When your life changes within a few months, it's not always easy to adjust to a new pace and fully take in what's going on. "Between flights to catch almost every day, lots of shows and different hotels every night, I find it hard to focus on what is really happening to us" starts Stash, the lead singer, who is still trying to adjust to life on the road. "When we get a few days off, we can see that this has become our life now and it's not just a dream anymore. We couldn't be happier about it."
The band formed of Stash Fiordispino (lead vocalist and guitarist), Daniele Mona (synth player) and Alex Fiordispino (drummer) was founded back in 2010.
"We had been trying to break through for the past five years. We played almost every night in small clubs in Milan, had the chance to open for a few big artists like Paolo Nutini and Hurts when they brought their tour to Italy but we were losing our faith. We almost started believing that we were never going to do more than that," admits the singer.
The call they got from the talent show Amici in January of this year turned their life around. Funnily enough, the night before they received the call they had decided to buy a one way ticket to London to start fresh.
Of course, after having tried so hard to break through for so long, it is certainly a relief to see such good response from the public.
"On the days off in between shows, we feel like skydivers in the moment their parachutes open and they know they are almost certain going to land safely. The most amazing feeling is to know that the next day we have a sold out date on our own headlining tour. It's like landing on your feet."
Although they do not take their success for granted, they do feel ready to try and export their music abroad. England is on top of their list at the moment, but in the meantime, they've also filmed the video for their new single "Why Don't You Love Me?" in Berlin to give it a more international vibe.
Stash tells me that they often pop by in London to keep themselves up to the date with the current British music scene, as that's where they have always drawn the inspiration for their own music from.
Finding a few songs they had written years ago, writing a couple of new ones and using a song called Great Escape written by American songwriter Kevin Griffins and British artist Callum Burrows (aka Saint Raymond), they worked really hard to finish their first record on time and to make sure that it would 100 percent represent who they are. A massive challenge since the talent show they were in gave them just 20 days to make it. The album had to be out on the market a month before the finale.
"The rhythm we had to keep was insane. While recording the album we also had to prepare ourselves for the weekly episodes that aired on Saturdays. We wanted to give our best on the show but also have an album we would still be proud of in a few years time," Stash continues. "For a perfectionist like me, to make this happen, I had to work days and nights but I would do it again in a heartbeat."
The lead singer, who writes and composes all of the songs, is the mastermind of the band but the album was still definitely a teamwork. While Alex took care of the drumming parts, Daniele acted as an external set of eyes, bringing back the focus every time they needed it. "I take care of everything from the beginning so after working intensely on something, some ideas may overlap and it's easy to kind of lose the focus. Daniele is the one who scolds me like 'What the fuck are you doing now, Stash? Don't dwell on it, it sounded much better earlier!'" which seemed to work pretty well as the album is now triple platinum.
The trio then confides me that there are some plans in the making for them to actually fly to the UK but that's all they are allowed to say about it at the moment. "We are currently working on something that will take us to London sooner than we'd expected. We will finally come here as something more than just tourists," they say, smiling.
I have one final question before I leave them to get ready for the show. When I ask them where they see themselves in ten years, their answer surprises me. "LA or maybe, Sydney!" yells Alex and Stash agrees. "I used to skate when I was a kid and I was so impressed by the half-pipes they have in Sydney. I have been dreaming of them since forever."
What about the band? "Wherever Stash wants to go, we'll follow him. Otherwise, who's gonna sing? Certainly not me!" Daniele laughs off.
The Kolors appear humble yet very determined.They know what they want and they are ready to do whatever it takes to fulfill their dreams. Wishing them all the best, we hope to see them around London very soon.

Kid's Games
Africa Trail
Africa Trail (MECC – ages 10 & up) is a good choice for older children. Similar in style to MECC's popular Oregon Trail, this CD-ROM gives kids a chance to participate in bicycle trip across Africa. Based on a real trip made by a team from the US and Africa in 1993, the program contains tons of photos and videos that lend an air of authenticity often lacking in simulation programs. During the journey the considerations and choices that must be made are fairly extensive, and are governed by three factors – funds, weight (your team can only carry so much, after all), and time. How many (and which) spare parts to buy for your team's bikes? Bring along too many and you won't have room for enough food to stay healthy. Will the chickens you bartered for in the market give everyone salmonella? How many kilos of powdered milk are needed to make it to Ghardalia? Should everyone eat lightly, or pig out? In short, the program helps kids develop interrelated problem-solving skills. It also dishes out a lot of interesting details about Africa along the way, although it would be better if they were more integrated into the trip. It's easy to get so wrapped up in completing the journey that you don't always remember to click on the photos that bring up information about the culture and people along the way. Africa Trail is a strong title that really makes use of what multimedia is all about.
– December 1995

See power in your potential. "I don't limit myself because I know who I can become." For Gabrielle Gardner '18, SSU's mass communications major was a no-brainer. She believes in her unlimited potential, which is why she wanted a future full of unlimited opportunity. Communications was exactly the kind of never-dull, "go, go, go," path Gabrielle was looking for.
"In this industry, you don't just sit behind a desk. One day, I could be directing a photo shoot. The next, conducting an interview or drafting a press release. I love it."
So when Gabrielle nabbed a corporate communications internship at Georgia Ports Authority, she was raring to go. There, she managed social media, wrote for the company magazine, photographed massive ships and cranes in port terminals, coordinated huge events like the Jimmy DeLoach Parkway ribbon cutting – and so much more.
Every new day brought a new challenge. And every day, she tackled it head on. Because Savannah State is all about exposing students to opportunities they wouldn't get anywhere else. And pushing them to take and make the most out of each and every one.
That's why, in Fall 2016, the Journalism and Mass Communications department unveiled a brand-new, state-of-the-art broadcasting facility. The renovated two-studio space is decked out with an anchor desk, a three-camera set-up, a bank of computers loaded with industry-standard editing software, and a control room sporting the NewTek TriCaster production system. Just like the pros use.
Experiences like these (and tons of others) help Tigers amp up their skills – from filming and recording to reporting and producing – so they can kick-start their careers. Like alumni working at WSAV-TV-3, Ebony magazine, Tyler Perry Studios, and CNN. And even running their own P.R. firms, just like Gabrielle wants to do.
Another one of her dreams? Anchor a news program or host a talk show in Paris. Or New York. Or L.A. The way Gabrielle sees it, the world is full of boundless potential – and so is she. Seriously Impressive
Dr. Dionne Hoskins-Brown is digging deep, way deep, as she leads research in Savannah State's backyard. And she's inspiring Savannah's youngest marine scientists.
When a local theatre troupe lost its space, SSU instructor David I. L. Poole couldn't say no to a perfect opportunity. Check out his movement to spark SSU (and Savannah's) theatre scene.
What's the power of a megawatt, pearly white smile? For aspiring orthodontist Antonio McMillan '19, it's show-stopping confidence and brand-new experiences.

By Srinivasa Moorthy, CEO, Andhra Pradesh Electronics IT Agency (APEITA)
With the advent of Internet of Things electronics systems are proliferating into every nook and corner. Conventional Electronics design involved multiple capabilities (Electrical, mechanical, Software, Compliance etc.) and needed a big team to design a single product. With the IoT the volume of products designed are exploding pressure on reduced time to market and lack qualified experts is putting pressure on companies to find ways of efficient development. "DEFINE" (stands for Design, Environment, Functionality, Implementation, Necessities, Enablers) framework which enables the designers to develop the architecture of an y embedded systems . This framework enables the designers to develop the contours of the product quickly and takes the system design to the next phase quickly. This chapter will explain the framework in details by detailing every element involved in the framework. This chapter will also give a checklist and guideline to help the designer to develop the overall product quickly and efficiently. Idea of the workshop is to give a simple checklist and guideline based approach to design the over all product architecture (today there is no literature which is available as it is mostly comes out of experience). With startups and entrepreneurs access to experienced consultants is a challenge and this framework allows them to develop the high level product architecture easily. The session will have about 50 mins of lecture and 20 mins case study and 10 mins of Q&A.
Moorthy has over three decades of experience in the Electronics Industry with experience ranging from R&D, Product Design and Engineering, Manufacturing, Promotions and Managing large business units.

DME / HME Billing Services
DME Billing Services
Advantages of Online Durable Medical Equipment's Shops
It's estimated that even more people will opt into online durable medical equipment's and supply for the delivery. Since 2007, the industry has nearly doubled in size, with more people choosing it as their primary method for getting supplies; it has been witnessing a constant rise in DME billing too. The increase in in-home care has also led to more need for convenient supply access. For many, the advantages of brick-and-mortar retailers are just too great to ignore. The industry is also set to go on growing at a six percent rate for the next couple of years. Are there any advantages to buying my medical supplies online? Well, it's been proven that online medical supplies are not only cheaper but also in most cases more available as opposed to going around searching for a physical store that has all the products you need. DME Billing That Covers Medicare It is best to think of Medicare's durable medical equipment coverage as having 2 levels: DME billing is covered when determined to be medically necessary and DME that is never covered despite being medically necessary. For example, grab bar rails may be completely necessary for an individual, but Medicare does not consider…Read More »
