Death-bed admission of love from dad
Fifteen years ago today, at 10 a.m., I lost my father to a seven-year battle with Emphysema.
He was a difficult and complicated man who always found himself unable to communicate loving, affectionate, positive words. A sterile ER trauma suite at St. Luke's South became the setting where he would mumble the words, "I love you," and "Thank you for all you've done for me," to me for the first time ever. Those two sentences came amid a life and death struggle for each breath of air. A struggle that would end less than five minutes after he said those words.
The doctors wanted to place him in a medically induced coma for a week or two, clean his lungs, then wake him up with new meds on board. My dad was afraid his lungs would get too lazy over that period of time and they wouldn't be able to get him off the respirator. The doctors assured him they had no concerns about waking him back up and left the room, giving him and me time to discuss the decision.
We'd already been told if he decided to not have the procedure, he likely had less than 30 minutes to live. In this final stage, he was suffering from carbon dioxide retention; a process where fresh oxygen is not replacing carbon dioxide. He was getting sleepy; he would get increasingly sleepy.
After giving him time to think, I asked if he wanted to proceed? Surprisingly, he nodded his head yes. Talking was increasingly difficult. As I left the ER suite to inform the physicians, he grasped my hand one last time and said, "Remember what I said, I love you and thank you for all you've done." I told him, one last time, that I loved him, too.
Those would be the last words he would ever speak.
I pushed the draped curtain aside and walked out to a waiting medical team.
"He agreed, but he also just told me goodbye."
The doctors tried to assure me that wasn't his intent and that I was reading too much into it. I explained what he said to me and that those words had never been spoken in 45 years. Even they seemed concerned at that point.
The pluminary and ER SWAT team came back into the suite, Mark asked if he was ready and dad nodded his head yes. Oddly, he smiled a strained smile and winked at me. Since two of the doctors were friends of mine, they allowed me to stay in the room to be by his side through the procedure.
A nurse extended his head and neck to begin the intibation. Within 15 seconds a long, steady flat lined beep overpowered the conversation in the room and Mark yelled out, "Where's my pulse?" Two nurses began to check various leads, suspecting an equipment malfunction, but my heart sunk. I'd heard his words. I knew what they meant; he did, too. The charge nurse looked at Mark and said, "We're good, it's not us…"
Mark looked at me and said, "Paul, we have a Code Blue, do you still want to stay?" to which I nodded my head yes. Twelve minutes of life-saving heroics took place. During those minutes, which alternated between feeling like seconds and hours, Mark would look at me repeatedly and say, "Paul, I'm so sorry, we didn't see this coming."
Mark asked for a three-minute countdown on the clock and said, "I'm going one more time." I put my arm around his shoulder and asked, "Hey, buddy, what are we REALLY doing? I told you he told me goodbye; I think he knew more about this than we did."
Mark looked at me, uncertain how or why we were even in this position and asked, "Are you saying we're done?"
Not knowing if I was following dad's unspoken wishes or acting as an executioner, I replied that yes, I thought we were done.
Mark looked at the clock on the wall and said the words I knew I would hear, some day, for seven long years.
"Time of death…. 9:57 a.m.."
And with that, one person lost a seven-year battle with a wretched disease; the other person was left questioning a 45-year battle with his father.
Throughout his life, the only mechanism he had that would allow him to express any level of approval was to provide "things." Words and emotion eluded him, other than the hair-trigger, hot-temper inherited from his mother. Providing things was the only way he could express that somewhere, deep inside his confused head and hurting heart, he really did care about you. So, he provided things.
And an excellent provider he was. I always had cars, money, clothes and a nice place to live. I never understood that's what the "things" meant. There were mixed signals between the verbal and physical abuse and the things.
My mother divorced him, my brother wrote him off. So the son who suffered the most at his hand spent the last seven years trying to prove a point. I was going to see this battle through to its guaranteed bitter end, regardless, with the hope that someday he'd get it. Some day, he'd acknowledge I was at least a semi worthwhile human being.
My friend and former pastor, Dr. Dan Vanderpool arrived minutes after dad passed. My dad enjoyed countless visits with Dan over the years and was fond of calling him Van Danderpool. Dan was the only person with whom he would remotely discuss spiritual matters. I told him that dad was gone and as soon as the words came out of my mouth, Dan said, "Paul, I'm going to do the funeral."
I smiled, told Dan I really appreciated it, but it would be in Carthage, two-and-a-half hours away. I knew Dan's schedule; Dan was a really busy man shepherding a congregation of 2,500 people. Dan, in his loving, caring voice replied, "Paul, no one's more qualified to do it than me. I knew your dad, I know your relationship with him. Let me do the funeral for you…"
It was a relief, because I knew he was right.
Three days later, we landed in Carthage. Dan delivered the funeral message at Knells Mortuary under a sky of white fluffy clouds and a packed house. Ten firemen came from my dad's tenure as a Carthage fireman. Kids showed up who knew my Dad from when we owned the local skating rink. Kids across many school years who rode his bus, something he did for fun in retirement, also came. I think that was more hurtful than anything. All these kids looked at my dad as a father-of-the-year figure.
Little did they know, there was one version of my dad to others, another version of my dad at home, with his own family. They were vastly different men. Why was he able to pour himself out for them. How was he so caring and concerned about them, but couldn't show that to his own sons? I always thought it was because he only had to be that guy for 2-3 hours at a time and that was doable. I still don't have the answer to that one.
Dan began his message and as only he could, connecting the dots of dad's life and relationships. He talked in great detail of how people who can't express love or feelings with words often find other ways to get the message across. Some people aren't wired right. Some people don't have all the tools, for a host of reasons. It became an interactive discussion as he asked questions from the platform. Reminders of the things he'd done, hobbies he'd supported, vacations we took, the cars he provided…all the "things."
Things. That recurring word.
I felt I was attending the funeral of a sad, old man, more than the funeral of my father. A funeral that should have been full of anger, grief and pain became one of the most inspiring, healing messages I had ever heard. It was one part funeral, one part therapy session and one part mediation between me, my father and our issues.
Dan has a way of making the mysterious and complex simple. He has a way of healing hurts, putting bandaids where they belong. He has a way of reaching your heart and saying just the right words at just the right time. He'd tell you God gave him those words, he'd tell you it's all God. I'd tell you that's just who Dan is.
Several of my lifelong friends sat through that service. People with similar hurts because by 45 years of age, life's had a chance to beat you up a little. The final prayer was said and those awkward moments settled in. You know the ones, when people are paying their last respects, when you're trying to find the right thing to say to the grieving parties? One friend, through wet eyes, said to me, "Paul, you know I'm not a church guy; I don't have much use for religion and I can't tell you the last time I was even in a church. But if I ever go to go to church, I'd go to THAT guy's church!"
That's been the universal defining context of Dan Vanderpool.
I left with a slowly evolving perspective on my father but with a lot of wounds to heal. For me, physical wounds heal fast. I'm a pretty big guy. You don't have much of a chance at hurting me physically. But that same guy was routinely brought to his knees with a few misplaced or well aimed words. My dad was a master at that, intentional or not.
The year following his death, I thought about his life and our relationship more than I imagined I would. I left thinking that switch had been flipped off, that compartment closed. On the first anniversary of his passing, I packed my motorcycle and made the trip from KC to Carthage's Oak Hill Cemetery. I had an afternoon-long conversation with him at his grave. Sitting on a blanket with a sandwich some crackers, cheese and my favorite bottle of BV Cabernet wine, I tearfully told him thank you for doing the best job I thought he was equipped to do. I forgave him for what was missing and forgave myself for harboring the feelings I had for so long. Was he what he should have been? No, but believe he did all he knew to do as a woefully ill-prepared, hurt and damaged person.
I doubt he was much more pleased about his lot in life than I was.
From the day I found out my first child was on the way, I made a pledge to my unborn son that he would never see what I did growing up. I made that pledge three more times with the birth of my next three kids. I swore they would never wear those hurts and pain. They would hear they were loved, in word, action and deed, at every possible opportunity. I wanted them to know that as well as they knew their own names.
The job of being a parent isn't easy and it certainly doesn't pay enough. You do the best you can with what you are provided and hope for the best. There are times I think I've done a great job. There are times I think I was as big a failure my dad. With a divorce thrown in the mix that hit my kids when they were teens and pre-teens, emotional scars were placed on them I would have never wished. For that I am eternally sorry and pay the price daily through enormous levels of self-imposed guilt.
When my final story is told, I hope they know I tried to do my best. My youngest was living with me in the months following the divorce when the bottom fell out of everything. I was, without a doubt, the worst version of me I could have been. I threw a two year private pity party for myself. But he remained a constant support to me in ways a young kid shouldn't have had to do. He was a bigger man than me and stood taller that I was capable of.
I've apologized as much as one person can. My only hope is that my kids aren't left with as many unanswered questions as I was about my father and why he was who he was. I hope they know, as they are told with every conversation, they are loved with a never-ending love. I hope they know the meaning and intent behind those words always have been real, authentic.
What a sad, wasted life my father led. In 45 years he couldn't find it in himself to tell his son he was loved or mattered. It took what I can only believe was a premonition that those three minutes would be his last on this side of whatever eternity holds for us, before he could muster the ability to say what may have been in there forever.
But as I sat at his grave, I had one recurring thought that has given me the most peace.
As much as he cheated me, he cheated himself even more. He was just as sad, just a hurt, just as injured. I suddenly wished there was more for him.
Rest in Peace, Robert H. Wilson. My kids knew so little about you. And in a generation, that tiny flicker of knowledge will pass into the pages of forgotten history. You'll be little more than a name on a stone indicating service to your country in Korea. One of the kids will inherit the flag given to me by the soldier at your grave-side service. That will be all that's left of his life.
My dad. The kid's grandfather. Thinking that over brought back the words of another friend who told me, "If you think you're going to be missed in this world, stick your hand in a bucket of water, pull it back out and see how big the hole is.
If you're reading this, I guess I'd like to leave you with one message. Words matter, words mean something — things don't. As you tell your kids good night and tuck them in or call them on the phone wherever they may be, tell them you love them every chance you get. Nothing matters more than that. If you have a chance to talk to your mom or dad, grandparents, tell them the same thing.
This world is full of hurting people. You may think it doesn't matter because, all your friends are fine. Truth is, they likely aren't so fine. Whether you think they need to hear it or not, telling someone you are there, you care and that they matter, may be a defining moment for them.
A friend said the other day, if you sat in a circle with all your friends and you all threw your problems on the floor in the middle of the room, you'd likely pick your own problems back up and leave with them. If you bother to scratch below the surface you'll find way too many people have more than they can say grace over. The words you say, the encouragement you give takes 10 seconds out of your day.
Little do you know, that may be life altering for them.

OSHA, state probe death of carnival worker
A somber mood loomed over the Feast of Mother Cabrini in Brentwood yesterday, one day after the death of a worker who was hit in the head by a ride.
Michael Austin, 22, of Mastic, was killed in what festival officials called a tragic accident.
Ride owner Pete Zorlenzan said he was stunned by the accident. Zorlenzan's girlfriend is Austin's aunt. "She's devastated. We're all devastated," he said Sunday. "I'm devastated. Nothing like this has ever happened in my life."
He said Austin was "very intelligent, very well-liked amongst the people who work here."
East Northport's Newton Shows oversees the festival's attractions. Police said no one else was injured.
According to police, Austin was coming off a break about 7:30 p.m. when he was struck on the head by a ride called the Scat after he went to retrieve something underneath it for the ride operator. The Scat, in which riders stand against a wall in two large baskets that rotate while the ride spins, had about 16 riders at the time. Zorlenzan said Austin may have been trying to change the Scat's soundtrack playing on an iPod beneath the ride.
Austin was pronounced dead at Stony Brook University Hospital hours after he was hit.
Zorlenzan said Austin was not conscious when he got to him at the scene. Austin was airlifted to the hospital. Zorlenzan said he then fielded a call from a hospital representative informing him that Austin was awake and breathing on his own.
"Only a short time later, I got another call back from the hospital saying that he had slipped into a coma," he said. "By the time I reached the hospital, he passed."
The accident was being investigated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the state Department of Labor, officials said.
Workers at the festival will wear green ribbons symbolizing awareness of traumatic brain injuries for the remainder of the event, which runs through Monday.
The festival is presented by Giuseppe A. Nigro Lodge, Order of the Sons of Italy in America, and held on Suffolk County Community College's Grant campus.
"It's just a horrible, horrible thing that happened," said festival spokeswoman Kerry Gillick-Goldberg.
Festival attendee Nina Galteri, 54, of Centereach, extended her sympathies to Austin's family.
"We were just talking about it," she said of the accident. "I didn't realize he passed. Please send my condolences. I know it must be very hard for them."

Yancoal has not applied for Southey potash mine permits: government
The company behind a controversial proposal to build a potash mine near Regina has not applied for any of the necessary licenses and permits, despite having had almost 18 months to do so, government documents show.
The provincial government approved Yancoal Canada Resources Co.'s environmental impact statement for the Southey-area mine in August 2016 despite strong opposition. Herb Cox, who was the environment minister at the time, said the decision meant the company could begin gathering the remaining approvals.
However, the Ministry of the Economy said in legislative documents filed last week that "to date Yancoal has not applied for any of the additional provincial approvals required to advance the Southey project to construction and operation."
Those requirements include a water rights licence, approval to build surface and groundwater works, permits to build a hazardous substance storage facility and operate a pollutant control facility and licences for injection wells, according to the documents.
Yancoal, which has been working for years to build the $3.8 billion, 2.8-million-tonnes-per-year operation 60 kilometres north of Regina, did not accommodate an interview request and instead provided a written statement.
"We're actively meeting with global leaders in development and sales to ensure a solid foundation as we continue to build the project," Adam Cooke, the company's Southey project manager, said in the statement, which did not specify a tentative construction start date.
According to the environmental approval, Yancoal had one year to develop and submit a community involvement plan. The company in July applied for and subsequently received an extension, and the plan is now due in March, government spokeswoman Kathy Young said in an email.
The company has been in communication with the RM of Longlaketon, which encompasses the proposed mine site about 60 kilometres north of Regina, regarding the plan and appears to be moving slowly but steadily toward construction, according to the local reeve.
"They're chipping away," Delbert Schmidt said Tuesday. "It's slow, maybe, but they're chipping away. Nothing is moving fast but that's maybe a good thing, so that everything gets done properly … on their side of it, the government side of it and the RM side of it."
"It has been our priority to actively work with the RM council," Cooke said in the statement from Yancoal. "Together we are working towards our agreed upon time-based objectives and goals and will continue to have the RM fully engaged in this project."
Jim Harding, a spokesman for the Qu'Appelle Valley Environmental Association (QVEA) and staunch opponent of the project, said Tuesday that while the environmental advocacy group has heard little news from Southey and is concentrating on other issues, it remains opposed to it.
The QVEA and other opponents of the water-intensive solution mine have previously raised concern about its effect on the water supply in nearby Buffalo Pound Lake and the possible contamination of groundwater in the Southey area and the Qu'Appelle Valley watershed.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Chinese government-backed Yanzhou Coal Mining Co., Yancoal was established in 2011 with the aim of helping its parent company diversify into the fertilizer business.

"You'd think VISE would do a better job of making sure they have more vendors in the metropolitan area...but I suppose that's a distributor issue. The one guy I know who operates a pro shop in the area, that only drills Turbo, claimed it was simply too expensive. To drill VISE he'd have had to get another $2,000 worth of equipment just to drill the holes...then stock hundreds to thousands more in supplies. It kinda creates a Microsoft versus MacIntosh situation where once you are established with one brand...you're kinda locked in. I can't switch without completely changing over to a new system...and wouldn't be able to use any older balls. The pro shops can't do both types of inserts without doubling their costs on drilling equipment and inventory."
Unless VISE insists that you use a particular brand of drill press and drill bits or the warranty would be void, I don't see why a decent pro shop would have to buy $2000 worth of equipment to install them.
I can understand a shop having a decided preference for one or the other brand of inserts. I can also see where if one brand's inserts required a slightly different size hole, they might want a second drill press that was only used for that brand.


text: The Mexican Whip-poor-will is a medium-sized, predominantly brownish nightjar that is found from the southwestern United States south to El Salvador. This species is migratory in northern portions of its range (including the breeding population of the United States), but is resident in the southern two-thirds of its range. Its plumage is nearly identical to that of the Eastern Whip-poor-will (Caprimulgus vociferus), but the two species probably overlap only in winter, in eastern Mexico and Central America. These two whip-poor-wills formerly were classified as a single species; they differ slightly in morphology, vocalizations (slower and more burry in the present species), and egg pigmentation. Mexican Whip-poor-will breeds in forested areas between sea level and 3000 m, mainly in February to July.

Paranoia Counselling Wolverhampton
Psychological Therapy for Paranoia & Paranoid Thoughts
Paranoia is defined by thinking that people are somehow 'out to get you' or that otherwise seemingly random or innocuous events are 'directed' towards you personally, usually with the intent of malice or harm.
As with all problematic unhelpful thinking 'styles' or beliefs, the degree of 'severity' lies along a spectrum, at one end being mild thoughts and associated feelings and at the other end, severe paranoia making functioning extremely difficult. Paranoia is most frequently associated with 'paranoid schizophrenia' although this is rarer than most people believe and when it is present, is generally treated with anti-psychotics.
Here at Tranceform Psychology we help people with thoughts or feelings of paranoia that are considered NOT to be as the result of psychosis. If you think that you might be experiencing paranoia as the result of schizophrenia then we urge you to consult your GP or Psychiatrist for a formal diagnosis.
Paranoia is normally more prevalent in people who have a high sense of social anxiety and a feeling of a lack of 'power' over their own lives (also known as an external locus of control) which gives rise to thinking that people are being highly critical of them or even somehow 'after them' – this is often made worse by also have a catastrophic thinking style.
Paranoia & Paranoid Thinking Test
Try answering the following 10 questions which have been designed to illuminate Paranoia related thoughts and feelings. The higher the number of YES responses the more likely you experience bouts of paranoia and paranoid behaviour.
- Do you frequently worry that people are somehow trying to 'use' you?
- Do you worry about being 'let-down' or 'betrayed'?
- Do you find it difficult to forgive and forget people who have mistreated you?
- Do you worry that people don't tell you the 'whole story' or are trying to 'deceive' you?
- Do you worry that your partner may be cheating on you?
- Do you analyse people's remarks to see if they are insulting you in some way?
- Do you find it difficult to confide in people fearing they may tell everybody?
- Do you worry that people are laughing at you 'behind you back'?
- If you catch somebody staring at you in the street or whilst shopping do you automatically think they must be thinking something negative about YOU?
- Do you worry that friends might be meeting up without you behind your back?
(Adapted from 'The Paranoid Thinking Style', the Thrive Programme, Rob Kelly, 2015)
Although answering YES to each of these statements may seem perfectly reasonable to you they do indicate that paranoia is a component part of your thinking. This notion that they are reasonable and make sense is due to what is called 'confirmation bias' which is how our minds 'twist' the facts so that they make sense to our beliefs.
Learn How to Thrive & Overcome Paranoia
If you want to learn the tools, techniques and coping skills to change your paranoia related issues (or other thinking errors) into something more helpful, then why not follow the Thrive Programme with Paul here at TranceForm.
Thrive is an evidence-based training programme that uses applied psychology and CBT principles to help you understand and then change a range of unhelpful thinking and limiting belief systems that have an adverse impact on the living experience.
Over the course of ten sessions you will discover how your core beliefs have either helped or hindered you over your life course and then learn proven scientific principles to bring about changes which directly impact on your experience.
FREE Initial Consultations for Paranoia
We offer all prospective clients a FREE initial assessment to chat about your paranoia problems. During this 50 minute consultation we will discuss the various options that are available to you and make a considered recommendation based on your individual personal circumstances.
At TranceForm we believe that therapy & coaching should be a collaboration between therapist and client so it's very important to be able to meet PRIOR to agreeing any kind of help. Our policy is to help people make a fully balanced & considered decision about undertaking therapy with us, including both the financial and personal implications.

We didn't do terrible but also didn't make near what we did last year. I was so bummed! I prepared a beautiful display in hopes that people would be drawn in to check out our soap. I did overhear this one lady in my tent go on about how she loves to come see everyone's displays; that they are so nice to look at. I felt that my hard work paid off. I went a bit overboard on spending for our display, but since displays are part of an investment in our products, I felt justified. What do you think? I really love the burlap!
I was hoping to make enough money to finally get the soap dishes I've been going ga-ga over, however, that purchase will be put off for a bit now. Maybe come holiday season. I am excited to report that the newest soaps did really fabulous! Summer Citrus has been a hit all around and I'm about out of Lavender Patch. I am very pleased! Surprisingly, the new lip balm flavors Ginger Lime and Tangerine Spice didn't get any love! There were some contemplators but Peppermint Orange, the big favorite, won out each time. I think I may have to make that into soap. Not sure why I haven't yet!
All in all, I am happy to see people love the soap. Right when everyone was closing up shop due to the show closing and the impending storm on Saturday, a woman announced "I found my soap!". She bought five bars! I'm REALLY happy that I decided to hold out just for a few more minutes. And then I started packing up quite quickly! This show won't deter me from next year, thankfully. I know that summer weather is finicky, and a show is a show!
Thanks to everyone who came out and showed us some love! It's always nice to talk soap with our fans. We'll be planning the Fall and Winter soap soon and also going to launch a Soap of the Month Club. Are you excited? We are! This was a suggestion from a friend of mine, Jeremiah, Marketing Director at Bear Mountain Lodge. Hopefully soon, you will be able to shower with Side Door Soap there! Bear Mountain is one of three lodges with a variety of wilderness suites located in absolutely beautiful Wellsboro, PA. Right up the road from us! Be sure to check this out!
Peace, Love & Soap!

Thinking about thawing out this winter by going on a 420-friendly trip to Belize? Heard some good things about the local weed but not sure how to get it or whether it's even legal? We've surveyed the situation and put together this travel guide to help get you started with planning the ultimate cannabis adventure in Belize.
Belize is no stranger to ganja. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 8.45% of Belize's population consumes weed, ranking the country as the 18th most cannabis-consuming nation in the world. Believe it or not, that's higher than Jamaica, which ranks at 22nd with reportedly 7.21% of its population consuming cannabis.
Possession and use of cannabis in Belize was largely tolerated yet completely illegal until 2017, when the Misuse of Drugs Act was amended to decriminalize the possession of up to 10 grams of herb. Under the amendment, there is no risk of penalty or arrest for any adult smoking at their private residence, or at the private residences of others – including in hotels where smoking is allowed – with the owner's permission. The law also clarifies that industrial hemp no longer falls under the definition of cannabis.
However, the change to the law doesn't account for the fact that it is still illegal to grow and sell cannabis, and to do so is considered a felony. To be in possession of weed on school premises is also illegal and punishable by law, and minors caught with weed are subject to punishment and counseling. The law makes no distinction between medical and recreational cannabis, nor does it stipulate how a citizen can purchase weed, so tourists looking to buy the local weed will end up having to do so from someone selling it illegally.
Belize may have decriminalized weed and if the travel forums are to be believed, buying some on the underground market is likely pretty easy, but take heed that there is otherwise no official cannabis tourism in place. Since the law allows for cannabis to be consumed in private residences, your best bet may be to rent a house or apartment, and 420-friendly Bud & Breakfast does have a few properties in Belize listed. Should you choose to go with a more traditional resource like Air BnB, a hotel, or a travel agent, we recommend inquiring upfront about their cannabis policy to make sure they're comfortable with ganja consumption on their property. And when you're there, remember that discretion is key: don't possess more than 10 grams, don't consume in public, and stay away from schools.
The 960-acre Lamanai is reportedly the longest-occupied Mayan site in the world. Take a tour up the steps of the High Temple, check out the ancient royal artifacts in the Mask Temple, or simply stare in awe at the pyramids and plazas built by a civilization that traces back as far as 1500 B.C.
After getting some exercise – and your mind blown – from climbing up the stairs of an ancient Mayan temple, spend the day relaxing on the 25-mile long island of Ambergis Caye. From snorkeling along the barrier reef, to having lunch in full view of the beach, to exploring the town of San Pedro by golf cart, Ambergis Caye will not disappoint.
To connect more with nature, check out the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary where everything from jaguars to vultures and other protected species call home. The 150-mile sanctuary offers 12 miles of hiking trails where visitors can experience waterfalls, a tropical forest, and true biodiversity in the many species of exotic plants, birds, reptiles and other animals living there. Visit for the day or camp overnight.

The Distant Rainbow, a modified Kuat Drive Yards Starwind-class pleasure yacht, was the flagship of of the smuggler chief Mazzic. Mazzic bought the ship at a bargain price from a retired Rodian smuggler. It was armed with two quad laser cannons, mounted on the top and bottom of the ship, and was one of the most luxurious smuggling vessels in the galaxy. However, it was very cramped when fully loaded, and could carry a mere two tons of cargo.

Even though I've used Macs since well into the last century, it is quite possible that I'm missing something and just don't understand the so-called 'cleaning' trend of the 21st century. Honestly, other than massaging an OCD gene, I don't know the reason that Mac memory optimizing apps, and garbage file cleaning apps are so popular on the Mac App Store.
Most of them are free with a few priced at a dollar or two, and almost all of them do much the same thing (maybe competition is driving the price down)– remove cache files, clean out logs, delete or prune other useless files, all while purging the Mac's memory of unused applications.
Maybe they're free to almost free because your Mac does many of those functions automatically. I've looked at and tried a dozen. Here's one I would recommend if you absolutely positively must have such a tool. It's called Dr. Cleaner and it's free. What does it do? Clean. The app removes a number of temporary files (many of which OS X will get around to deleting on its own every month) such as cache files, log files, and the like. Plus, it has settings for emptying the Trash can.
Wait! There's more!
Dr. Cleaner also purges the Mac's memory, freeing up RAM for apps you're actually using at the moment, rather than allowing other apps that are not being used to hot the RAM.
The claim to fame for Dr. Clean is the user interface, which is among the best of the genre. Click the icon in the Menubar and treat yourself to a visual paradise of faux accomplishment. View the Mac's disk usage with a click to the Scan button. Click to optimize RAM and view which apps are using the most RAM.
Or, click to remove Junk Files, view and get rid of Big Files, or move on to the Advanced settings which brings up options to use other tools, including Duplicate Finder, Dr. Safety, and Dr. Unarchiver (a lightweight but very fast archive decompressor).
Scanning files in the Big Files settings takes a few moments but then lists all the files in Archives, Documents, Movies, Audio, and Video which can be removed. There's even a filter to select only files of a certain size. Caveat emptor! Don't delete what you don't want to delete. Junk files also gets a scan but then lists App Caches, App Logs, iTunes Temp File, Mail Cache, plus the Trash Can and various Browser caches. One click cleans them all.
It's quite possible that a manual purge of memory on Mac's with lower amounts of RAM can speed up performance of some apps, but, honestly, OS X Yosemite and El Capitan both do a decent job of that all by its lonesome. But, hey, Dr. Clean is free, so why not?

Hi everybody!
I have this cool clip just to get us thinking today. If anything, we must learn to Fear God more than our inadequacies, friends, family and people in general. We tend to over exalt people and our weaknesses over the knowledge of God that we are always in a battle to re-position our focus back towards God. God is the center or our world and that's where He should remain in our hearts. We must remember Him at all times with everything that we do. Check this video today and may it bless you today Everybody!

Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'

Prince's surviving family members are asking President Donald Trump to stop using the late rock star's music at campaign rallies.
Prince's "Purple Rain" has frequently been on Trump's playlist at recent rallies, including last week in Southaven, Mississippi.

Prince's half-brother Omarr Baker tweeted the estate's opposition to use of any Prince music by Trump. A spokeswoman for the estate confirmed Friday that a request had been made to discontinue using it.
A White House spokeswoman referred questions to the Trump campaign, which didn't immediately respond.
Prince died in 2016 from an accidental fentanyl overdose at his Paisley Park complex in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

It's never been easier to find a job or harder to keep top talent.
According to Gallup's 2017 State of the Workplace study:
Couple these stats with Bersin by Deloitte's recent research showing 14% of new employees leave within the first 12 months and your recruiting dollars, turnover costs and training investment start piling up. Not to mention the impact it has on customers, other employees and overall business performance.
It starts with the initial impression candidates have of your organization from the recruiters, to the interviewers in the hiring process and most importantly to the employee experience during the first 12 months on the job. According to Gallup, only 12% of employees feel their organization does a great job of onboarding.

|About Homes By Bellia
Homes By Bellia is a family owned company building in Calgary, Alberta Canada and the surrounding areas. Their mission is to create beautiful homes, built with outstanding quality, resulting in exceptionally satisfied customers.
When Paul Bellissimo finishes each and every home he builds, he sits in it for a while, looks around and emotionally detaches himself from it. For he and his team put their heart and soul into each and every home they build; it is bitter-sweet letting them go. After countless hours creating your home, the smile in your eyes and happiness in your heart are what they have been striving for.
This is why they were so proud to receive not one but two coveted 2008 SAM awards for their homes; one in Montrose, High River and the other in Turner Valley. Judged by the Calgary Region's building industry, the show homes were recognized as the 'best of the best' and the team at Homes by Bellia couldn't be more honoured.

Juventus vs Barcelona: the match that has been on everyone's lips ever since the quarter-final draw was announced back on 17 March, and, in the case of Leonardo Bonucci, two days even before that!
By now, the conversation is larger than ever and there have been a number of noteworthy contributions and comments ahead of Tuesday's mouth-watering Champions League tie.
From Bonucci right through to Gigi Buffon in last night's press conference, here are the main quotations to have emerged from the Bianconeri camp.

Hi All,
could anyone please suggest an automated of doing my task below;
We have a data structured schema in a geo-database which is currently empty.
There is a third party data which needs to be loaded in our structured geodatabse.
For data migration to be third party successful data structure needs to fits to new data structure.
I would have thought the way to approach this is to export third party geodatabase xml schema
how do I manipulate the xml schema to fit to our own schema.?
is there an automated process of doing this?
Thanks for your help!

7 Trends You May Have Missed About dương vật giả của linh cẩu
Along with Seinfeld and Frasier, Friends is undoubtedly the most watched and followed sitcom on the 1990s. Set in New York City, the series follows the exploits of six twenty-something (and later, thirty-something) friends who often hang out in a local coffee shop and each others' apartments. Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston), Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc), Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), and Ross Geller (David Schwimmer) form a wildly talented cast that easily made the transfer from TV to the big screen… The Friends (Season 5) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere in which we learn that Ross and Emily's wedding continued despite Ross's accidentally saying Rachel's name instead of Emily's. However, Emily is not happy, and Ross cannot seem to make it up to her. Meanwhile, Monica and Chandler go to great lengths to conceal their newly blossoming romance from the rest of the friends. As the season progresses, the various friends learn one-by-one that Monica and Chandler are an item. The season finale follows the entire cast through Las Vegas (where they followed Joey who went there to shoot a movie). While in Vegas, Chandler and Monica agree to get married, but when they get to the chapel, they find that Ross and Rachel have beat them there Below is a list of episodes included on the Friends (Season 5) dương vật giả DVD: Episode 98 (The One After Ross Says Rachel) Air Date: 09-24-1998 Episode 99 (The One with All the Kissing) Air Date: 10-01-1998 Episode 100 (The One Hundredth) Air Date: 10-08-1998 Episode 101 (The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS) Air Date: 10-15-1998 Episode 102 (The One with the Kips) Air Date: 10-29-1998 Episode 103 (The One with the Yeti) Air Date: 11-05-1998 Episode 104 (The One Where Ross Moves In) Air Date: 11-12-1998 Episode 105 (The One with the Thanksgiving Flashbacks) Air Date: 11-19-1998 Episode 106 (The One with Ross's Sandwich) Air Date: 12-10-1998 Episode 107 (The One with the Inappropriate Sister) Air Date: 12-17-1998 Episode 108 (The One with All the Resolutions) Air Date: 01-07-1999 Episode 109 (The One with Chandler's Work Laugh) Air Date: 01-21-1999 Episode 110 (The One with Joey's Bag) Air Date: 02-04-1999 Episode 111 (The One Where Everybody Finds Out) Air Date: 02-11-1999 Episode 112 (The One with the Girl Who Hits Joey) Air Date: 02-18-1999 Episode 113 (The One with the Cop) Air Date: 02-23-1999 Episode 114 (The One with Rachel's Inadvertent Kiss) Air Date: 03-18-1999 Episode 115 (The One Where Rachel Smokes) Air Date: 04-08-1999 Episode 116 (The One Where Ross Can't Flirt) Air Date: 04-22-1999 Episode 117 (The One with the Ride Along) Air Date: 04-29-1999 Episode 118 (The One with the Ball) Air Date: 05-06-1999 Episode 119 (The One with Joey's Big Break) Air Date: 05-13-1999 Episode 120 (The One in Vegas: Part 1) Air Date: 05-20-1999 Episode 121 (The One in Vegas: Part 2) Air Date: 05-20-1999

Written by Goldeyes News Release
August 10, 2013, WINNIPEG (ISN) – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced today the Goldeyes 20th Anniversary team, as voted upon by the fans earlier this season.
To celebrate the team, the first 4,000 fans through the gate tonight will receive a set of 20th Anniversary team playing cards, presented by Pepsi.
Position Players
Luis Alen – Catcher (2007, 2010-2013)
The longest serving catcher in Goldeyes history, Luis Alen has become one of the best catchers to ever play independent baseball. He holds a .314 career batting average with Winnipeg in 443 games, which is the third all-time by a Goldeyes position player. The former farmhand of the Florida Marlins and New York Mets has struck out just 71 times in 1,628 plate appearances with Winnipeg.
Terry Lee – First Baseman (1995-1997)
A World Series champion with the Cincinnati Reds, Lee was the Northern League Player of the Year in 1995 and 1996. He still holds the best batting average by a Goldeyes player in a season when he hit .373 in 1995. Lee is the only player in Goldeyes history to win two league batting titles, having done so in 1995 and 1997. In his three seasons in Winnipeg, Lee hit 65 home runs, which has never been beaten by a member of the Fish. He's four and fifth for most home runs in a season when he hit 23 in 1996 and 22 in 1995.
Brian Duva – Second Baseman (1995-2000)
The speedy Duva was the first player to have his number retired by the baseball club. His No. 5 went above the outfield wall on July 20, 2001. Duva won the Northern League batting title in 1998 after hitting .367, which is the second-best average in a season by a Goldeyes player. He stole 55 bases in 1997, which was a team record at the time and still sits second all-time. Among those 55 steals, six came in Thunder Bay against the Whiskey Jacks on June 6, 1997. Duva stole180 bags in his six seasons with the Goldeyes, which remains a team record.
Brent Metheny – Third Baseman (2007-2009)
The second of Brent Metheny's three seasons in Winnipeg was his best. He led the team with a .357 batting average, which the fifth best all-time in a single season, and was voted by the fans as the Rogers Player of the Year. It was the highest single-season batting average by a member of the Goldeyes in eight seasons. He hit 43 home runs with the Goldeyes, which remains fifth all-time. In 2007, he was named the Goldeyes Budweiser MVP after leading the team in home runs and slugging percentage.
Max Poulin – Shortstop (2001-2008)
The longest serving player in Goldeyes history, Max Poulin suited up for 676 games with the Goldeyes during eight seasons. It's a record that will be tough to match. He holds several career records, including hits (631), triples (34) and walks (227). A vacuum at short, Poulin had a .972 career fielding percentage and made good on more than 98 per cent of his plays in 2008. In June 14, 2011, Poulin's No. 6 was retired by the club.
Carmine Cappuccio – Outfielder (2001)
Carmine Cappuccio played just one season with the Goldeyes, but it was one of the best by any player to throw on the red jersey. In 90 games, he hit .359 with nine home runs and 80 RBI. He missed winning the Northern League batting title by just five percentage points. His 39 doubles that season is still a team record. The accolades poured in after the season. Cappuccio was named to the Northern League Post-Season All-Star team and Baseball America's All-Independent First Team. He was also selected the team's Budweiser MVP.
Fehlandt Lentini – Outfielder (2006-2008, 2011, 2013)
Through three different stints, Fehlandt Lentini has proven to be one of the best outfielders ever to play in Winnipeg. In 2006, he set single-season records for runs scored (93), triples (13) and stolen bases (57) and was named the team's Budweiser MVP and to the Northern League's Post-Season All-Star team. Lentini has a career record 125 doubles with Winnipeg and became the all-time independent baseball stolen base record holder earlier this year. He has 332 stolen bases in 10 independent seasons.
Chris Kokinda – Outfielder (1996-1999)
While his name isn't splattered in the Goldeyes record book, Chris Kokinda had four spectacular seasons with the Goldeyes in the team's first decade. He had a .299 average with 29 home runs and 201 RBI in 338 games. Kokinda was named the Northern League's Rookie of the Year in 2006.
Juan Diaz – Designated Hitter (2009-2010)
Big Juan Diaz littered Waterfront Drive with plenty of home run balls in his two seasons in Winnipeg. He hit 29 in 2009, which tied Sean Hearn for the most by a Goldeyes player in a season, and 24 in 2010. His 53 homers in just two seasons is the third most in Goldeyes history. Along with his home runs, Diaz drove in 90 runs in 2009, which remains a team record. He was selected as the Budweiser MVP in 2009.
Brian Myrow – Utility (1999-2001, 2011)
After a college career at Louisiana Tech, Brian Myrow started his professional career with the Goldeyes in 1999 and came back in 2011 after reaching the Majors with the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers. In his third season with the Fish, Myrow got off to a torrid pace, hitting .386 with 10 home runs and 36 RBI in 25 games before having his contract purchased by the New York Yankees.
Harry Berrios – Utility (2002-2006)
In five seasons with the Goldeyes, Harry Berrios posted a .327 batting average, which the season-best all time. His 57 home runs remain second all-time and his 319 RBI remain a team career record. Having played 419 career games in a Goldeyes uniform, Berrios was selected a Northern League Post-Season All-Star three times and twice selected to the Baseball American All-Independent teams.
Rick Forney – Starting Pitcher (1997-2000)
While he's closing in on a decade as the Goldeyes skipper, Rick Forney put together four solid seasons on the mound for the Goldeyes in the late 90s and into the 2000 season. He's one of two pitchers in Goldeyes history to win at least 10 games in back-to-back seasons after he won 11 games in each of the 1997 and 1998 seasons. He won nine games in 13 starts in 1999 after starting the season in the Atlanta Braves organization. Forney remains on the Goldeyes career top five list in wins, games started, strikeouts and innings pitched. In 1999, he was selected to the Northern League Post-Season All-Star team and Baseball America All-Independent Second Team.
Ace Walker – Starting Pitcher (2008-2012)
Ace Walker made his mark on and off the field in his five seasons with the Goldeyes. He quickly became a fan favourite in 2008 and then embarked on re-writing the Goldeyes record book. In a team-record 105 starts, Walker has the most wins (47), complete games (13), strikeouts (380) and innings pitched (692.2). He also posted single-season best six complete games in 2009 and 22 starts in 2010. Walker was named the Northern League's Pitcher of the Year in 2009, becoming just the second Goldeyes hurler to win the award.
Rafael Gross – Starting Pitcher (2001-2004)
Before there was Ace Walker, there was Rafael Gross. In four seasons with Winnipeg, Gross became the all-time wins leader after posting a team record 14 wins in 2001 and 13 victories in 2003. His 36 career victories are now second all-time behind Walker. Almost more stunning than his single-season win totals were his single-season loss totals. He was on the hook for just two losses in 2001 and 2003 and had a high of only four losses in 2002. He was the Northern League's Pitcher of the Year in 2003 and named to Baseball America's All-Independent First Team in 2001 and 2003.
Bobby Madritsch – Starting Pitcher (2002)
Another one-year wonder, Bobby Madritsch was spectacular for the Goldeyes in 2002. He went 11-4 in 19 games, including 18 starts, with a 2.30 ERA to be named Baseball America's Independent Player of the Year. He was also selected to the Northern League's Post-Season All-Star team and Baseball America's All-Independent First Team.
Jeff Zimmerman – Starting Pitcher (1997)
Jeff Zimmerman's one season in Winnipeg led to him becoming a Major League All-Star. Zimmerman went 9-2 with a 2.82 ERA with the Goldeyes in 1997 and was selected the Northern League's Rookie Pitcher of the Year. The following off-season his contract was purchased by the Texas Rangers and in 1999 he represented the Texas Rangers in the Major League All-Star Game.
Zach Baldwin – Relief Pitcher (2008-2012)
The big southpaw from West Virginia, Zach Baldwin was one of the best left-handed pitchers in independent baseball during his five years with the Goldeyes. He made 157 appearances, which the second most all-time by a Goldeyes pitcher.
Brian Beuning – Relief Pitcher (2007-2008, 2012)
A chance phone call led to Brian Beuning being one of the major reasons the Goldeyes won the 2012 American Association Championship. After setting a team record for games by a pitcher in 2008 when he appeared in 51 contests, Beuning retired to become a state trooper in Minnesota. A temporary role in the bullpen turned into a full-time roster spot in 2012, which turned into Beuning earning the save in four playoff games and winning another.
George Sherrill – Relief Pitcher (2002-2003)
George Sherrill parlayed his two seasons in the Goldeyes bullpen into a nine-year Major League career. Sherrill appeared in 38 games out of the pen in 2002 and 16 in 2003 before having his contract purchased by the Seattle Mariners. He went on to save 51 games for the Baltimore Orioles in 2008 and 2009 and was named to the American League All-Star team in 2008.
Donnie Smith – Relief Pitcher (1998, 2000-2006)
No one has pitched in more games for the Goldeyes than Winnipegger Donnie Smith, who made 206 appearances in eight seasons with the Fish. He also holds the record for the games pitched in the Northern League. He finished his career with a 15-15 record and 3.22 ERA. His 28 saves are the third most by a Goldeyes pitcher. His No. 21 was retired by the baseball club on July 21, 2009.
Ian Thomas – Relief Pitcher (2009-2011)
Coming from VCU in 2009, lefty Ian Thomas become one of the most dominate relief pitchers in independent baseball. After pitching just 16 innings in 2009, he retained in rookie status in 2010 and prompt went 5-1 with a 1.64 ERA in 34 games to be selected the Northern League's Rookie Pitcher of the Year. Thomas is currently at Double-A Mississippi in the Atlanta Braves organization.
Jamie Vermilyea – Closer (2011)
Jamie Vermilyea saved 17 games for the Goldeyes in 2011, as the team went 60-40 and won the North Division title. He made 45 appearances that season, which is tied for the second-most by a Goldeyes pitcher. A former Major Leaguer with the Toronto Blue Jays, Vermilyea is in his first season as the Goldeyes pitching coach.
Season tickets and nine-game mini packs for the 2013 season are available by calling the Goldeyes office at 204-982-2273.

When I was sent the REACTION Dashboard, I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it might be a guide to help leaders react properly to difficult situations. That is not it at all.
Rather REACTION is an acronym used in a template to help develop healthy leadership cultures in organizations. It is actually two things. The first is
All of these are graded according to:
What I liked about this book is Chris Wignall presents this concept in two ways. The first part of the book is a narrative of a fictional group of leaders going through this process. It feels a lot like Patrick Lencioni.
Chris then takes readers through more of a teaching style description of what this looks like for organizations. He anticipates the questions and potential confusions about the REACTION dashboard and brings clarity.
The REACTION Dashboard is a short but extremely helpful resource for leaders. Chris is a Christian leader but these concepts could work in any context. Definitely worth taking your team through.
