Former Rosslare Golf Club captain given suspended prison sentence
A FORMER Rosslare Golf Club captain, who pleaded guilty on four counts of theft, has been given a six month suspended prison sentence on condition that he undertakes a restoration programme.
At Wexford Circuit Court on May 19, 57-year-old Nicholas O'Connor, of Troon Lodge, Ballycrane, Castlebridge, had pleaded guilty to a charge that on December 3, 2012, he stole €1,207 by lodging cheque to account of Reddy O'Connor & Co. in favour of Nicholas O'Connor property of one James Parle, of Clovervalley, Taghmon.
He also pleaded guilty to similar charges to the amount of €4,800 on January 30, 2013; €3,200 on May 15, 2013, and €975 on May 22, 2013.
Garda Sean Whelan said that on October 8, 2013, James Parle contacted him regarding his accountant - the defendant. He said that at that time O'Connor had made several attempts to have two cheques issued which he (Mr. Parle) signed. The injured party also said that he gave O'Connor a further two cheques on October 26 which he also signed.
The cheques, said Garda Whelan, were supposed to be for the settlement of Mr. Parle's account. They were to be paid for the defendant's fees and to the Revenue Commissioners. The total amount involved was about €10,182 which included professional fees of €300 to €400 euro.
Garda Whelan said that when arrested, the defendant made admissions that he had lodged the cheques to his own company's account, which was how Mr. Parle discovered that the Revenue had not been paid on his behalf. At that stage he confronted the defendant who admitted that he had made out the cheques to his own company and not to the Revenue. There were about four cheques involved. He said that Mr. Parle is a single man, a retired farmer, who lived alone. He was aware of the case going on but did not want to give evidence.
Garda Whelan said that Mr. Parle had been fully reimbursed and that the defendant had also returned his professional fees. He also said that Mr. Parle did not get into any trouble with the Revenue Commissioners. The defendant, who is a married man with three grown children, had no previous convictions and had an unblemished record prior to this. He also co-operated fully with the investigation.
Defence Counsel, Michelle de Brun, said that Mr. Parle had been a client of the defendant for many years. She said that Mr. Parle would put his signature on the cheques, and give them to the defendant who would fill them in for liability to make payable to the Revenue. However, the four cheques which Mr. Parle signed were lodged to the defendant's own account. When making the transactions the defendant would usually take into account the Revenue liability and add on his own professional fees.
Ms de Brun said the full monies had been recovered with no profits being made out of the transactions. Her client had no previous convictions and had not come to the garda attention since. He co-operated fully with the investigation, making full admissions immediately.
The cheques, she said, were originally intended for the payment of tax but the defendant had lodged them to his own account when short of money. He co-operated and pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity. When the monies were paid back to Mr. Parle on April 16, 2014, he contacted Taghmon Garda Station asking to withdraw his statement but at that stage that would have been a decision for the DPP.
Ms de Brun also said that the matter had originally been in the District Court where the DPP had directed summary disposal on a guilty plea but Judge James Coughlan declined to hear the matter. Prosecuting Counsel, Sinead Gleeson told Judge Hickson that Mr. Parle found out about the cheques having contacted the Revenue Commissioners.
Ms de Brun said the defendant was an accountant for many years, and that this was a serious lack of judgement. He had put the money into his own account, intending to pay it back. When Mr. Parle contacted him had made whatever arrangements were necessary to pay back the money in full. It was a serious breach of trust. He had not intended to hold on to the money and was waiting until there were sufficient funds in his account to pay it back.
The Defence Counsel said it was also noted in the Probation and Welfare report that the defendant had made his peace with Mr. Parle, and is at low risk of reoffending. She also said that there is a letter from Mr. Parle before the court asking that O'Connor not be sent to jail. Ms de Brun added that the Probation and Welfare report recommended defendant's referral by the Probation Services to The Restorative Justice Services Higher Tariff Offender Reparation programme. The service would facilitate the defendant making reparation to the community for his offences through the organisation of approved voluntary work within the community in an organisation such as MABS. This would serve to fully utilise the defendant's professional skills for the benefit and good of the community.
Judge Hickson said the defendant had pleaded guilty, accepted responsibility for the offences, and made his peace with Mr Parle.
Judge Hickson said he would recommend the report of the Probation and Welfare services that required the defendant to do voluntary work and to utilise his skills for the benefit of the community, the hours to be determined by the Social Justice programme itself. The Judge said he would sentence the defendant to six months in prison on each count to run concurrently, suspended on the defendant entering into a bond of €100 to keep the peace for two years.

Are you an NRI in the USA interested to invest in the Indian stock market? Sure, the task is tough, but reading this post will provide you great clarity on this investing in Indian Stock Market from USA.
Being an NRI poses numerous difficulties while investing in the Indian stock market. Lack of proper clarity on how to start and the various complications associated with it makes investment all the more challenging. Long distance makes it difficult to manage the paperwork and operations involved in practicing such investments.
In this economy, it is more important than ever to keep a track of your personal finances. Chances are if you have a bank account, then your financial institution has issued you a debit card. It looks like a credit card, it seems to work like a credit card, it even has the insignia of a major credit company like Visa or American Express, but is it a credit card? What are the major differences between a debit card and a credit card?
Bitcoin is one of those currencies that have been quite the mystery for a lot of people. The stock market brought in some very large values and the interesting thing is that this is quite similar to the dotcom bubble that happened in the 2000s. Basically, each time something new enters the market and a lot of people invest in it, the market explodes.
If you live in the United Kingdom, you may be one of the millions of people who've been mis-sold a payment protection insurance policy. This is a big scandal in the UK right now and there's a good chance you could have been affected. So who exactly can make payment protection insurance claims?
Savings are a part of every life. And people have different reasons for saving. The secret to having wealth, some claim, lies in your ability to save. Taking an inventory of your monthly income and expenses, you'll probably be surprised at the amount of money you spend monthly. Not only on necessities but also on your ego in order to look good.

LEXINGTON, Va. – The Salisbury University women's soccer team wrapped up its weekend trip through Virginia with a 0-0 tie against Washington and Lee University, Sunday afternoon at Watt Field.
Junior Michelle Conrad stopped six shots in 65 minutes of play to preserve the scoreless tie. Sophomores Jenna DeLetto and Logan O'Meara led the Sea Gull attack with two shots each.
The Generals controlled the statsheet in the first half, but neither team took command of the game. Washington and Lee (11-1-1) outshot the Sea Gulls 9-3 in the first half but Conrad made three saves in the first 45 minutes to keep the scoreboard clean in the first half.
To start the second half, as has been the case the previous two contests, freshman Alesha Seifert broke the huddle for the second half in net for Salisbury (7-4-2), replacing Conrad. Today was the fourth time this season the Easton, Pa., native has seen action in relief.
It was a team defensive effort in total, as the entire Sea Gull defensive group chipped in. Washington and Lee had an opportunity to push ahead in the 66th minute when Lauren Abraham put a header on net, past Seifert, but the ball was kicked off the goal line by the Salisbury defense. Nearly four minutes later, Seifert made the first of her two saves when she stopped a header attempt by W&L's Katie Pettit.
Late in the contest, it was the Sea Gulls applying pressure to the W&L defense. In the 75th minute, following a General foul, Salisbury nearly got on the board when sophomore Tabitha Brown got a head on a free kick, sending the ball just high. Less than three minutes later, freshman Erin McQuate had the General goalie beat but the ball was turned away by a W&L defender.
Neither team was able to was able to capitalize on opportunities and those in attendance were treated to bonus soccer.
To begin the first overtime period, Conrad was inserted back in goal. Midway through the first overtime period, Conrad was tested, preserving the scoreless tie. At the 94:56 mark, Haley Ward put a shot on goal that was turned away by the Smithtown, N.Y., native. The Sea Gull defense was unable to clear, with Conrad needing to make a save again just seven seconds later, thwarting the General attack.
Salisbury was outshot 5-2 in the second overtime period, but nearly pulled out the victory with 12 seconds left, as freshman Lindsey Andonian put a shot on goal that was saved by the Generals goalie. That would be the final attempt for either team, with the clock expiring for the scoreless tie result.
For the contest, W&L outshot the Sea Gulls 22-11.
The Sea Gulls have a midweek clash with new conference foe Christopher Newport University. That game is scheduled for Wednesday with a 6 p.m., start time in Newport News, Va.

The world is going crazy!? A pagan priest from Maine wears goat horns on his head, and he actually won the right (on court) to have them in the driving license photo! LOL
As the world is not crazy enough, this 57-years-old priest decided to make his life more interesting and started to wear goat horns in 2009. He considers that his horns are 'religious attire' and he wears them everywhere.
In 2009, at a Pagan men's group gathering Phelan Moonsong (the crazy priest) laid his eyes on the horns. The goat belonged to one of his friends and after the goat died the priest offered to wear its horns.
The priest declared that the horns became part of his personality and are part of his religious attire. He soaks the horns in patchouli and cedar oil to keep them fresh and leathery. What thoughtful he is!
Phelan is so attached to his horns that he refused the state of Maine to give up the horns to receive a state-issued ID. After sending a personal essay to the state and explaining the importance of his horns he managed to get his license with its horns on!
Check out the video below!

1994 Hyundai Sonata Owners Manual – If you're trying to say good things about the current 1995 Hyundai Sonata, basically assess it to the model it exchanged. The South Korean car maker's first-generation midsize sedan performed decidedly off-important. No wonder it neglected to amaze several United states car owners.
The newly designed Sonata has a considerably more refined song. It's greater looking, and the interior structure ultimately makes some feeling. From the very first glance, at least, it appears to be far better-created.
1994 Hyundai Sonata Walkaround
Bear in mind when cost-effective truly suggested "cheap looking"? That outline might have fit the initial Sonata, although not the new one. Exterior styling won't split any new floor, but it really has an interestingly highly processed appear that talks about a greater price.
Read also: 1999 Hyundai Tiburon Owners Manual
The sloped cowl, raked windscreen, and under-bumper oxygen scoop recommend Hyundai makers expended some quality time in the blowing wind tunnel. That means not simply increased energy economy and also decrease wind sound in the person pocket.
1994 Hyundai Sonata Interior Features
Inside is whereby companies are almost certain to reduce sides. So envision our shock once we slipped powering the Sonata's wheel to get a pleasantly processed interior. Gauges were actually well-labeled, nicely-spaced, and easy to read and function.
The fact is, you devote a whole lot more time in your car than you do viewing it sit down in your carport, so the car's interior needs to please all the sensory faculties. That is something Japanese manufacturers have very long realized. The authentic Sonata was a hodgepodge of diverse and quite often affordable seeking plastics. This time, although, Hyundai has benchmarked the competitors. The materials used for the device board, entry doors and other plastic elements checked and felt reliable, and interior areas had been covered with the very same attractive grain pattern.
1994 Hyundai Sonata Driving Impressions
Wile Hyundai provides an optional VW 143-hp V6 on the Sonata, we decided to analyze the base 2.0-liter, four-tube, the engine most purchasers are likely to go for. The engine experienced more pep than we originally predicted. There was clearly no reason to be reluctant when pulling on a freeway, therefore we possessed a great deal of top-end for passing. Hyundai states have put a great deal of work into this engine, but in spite of the inclusion of double balance shafts, we weren't fully satisfied. The engine was noisier than others in its type, and the hype might be sensed in both the controls and accelerator pedal. At nonproductive, it experienced what could be described as a muted diesel-like chug

Still hatching
There are people I know who cannot stand Neil Young. It confounds me. Especially because they have discerning taste in literature, art and music (for the most part) that I respect and admire. Yet Neil Young often not only leaves them cold, he turns them off. Some things in life you just have to learn to accept.
I love Neil Young. I memorised the words to Thrasher and sang it as a lullaby to my children. So Hatchetman's near-perfectly executed cover of 'Old Man' was a highlight of their show in the ingeniously altered concert hall in the City Hall which is the Cape Town Fringe hub for the next ten days.
Unfortunately, for a band which played mostly original songs – they did only one other cover during their hour-long show, and it was a Crosby, Stills and Nash number – it was the highlight.
Before bearded frontman Jono Tait announced the tribute to that grungy folkster, which was about three or four songs in to their set, I had already likened his voice to Young's high ranged country blues quaver, and the band unapologetically reproduce the three-part guitar-based harmony for which Crosby, Stills and Nash basically, according to Tait, "wrote the rule book".
With drummer Ryk Otto and singer Alex Muller as newcomers to the lineup (one of the Catto brothers, I think it was Matt, was not in this gig), Hatchetman seem to want to continue where Crosby, Stills and Nash left off. But a lot has happened in the intervening 40 years since their heyday when they were pushing boundaries with their brand of folk rock.
Look, of course there's nothing wrong with playing folk, or folk rock, they are musical genres that are timeless, but if Hatchetman were gigging in the '70s, they would have been dismissed as a CSN knock-off. They're still a CSN knock-off. The hipsterish hauling out of nuggets of the past doesn't change that. I mean, if you love folk rock then play it by all means, but don't seem to try so hard to sound like the band you yourself admit to growing up listening to. Look how Young moved from the lyricism and golden sunset sounds of Harvest in '72 to the grinding, bone-jarring subterranean reverb employed in '79s' Rust Never Sleeps and again in '90s' Ragged Glory, and often mixed them up on the same album.
Ok, ok, Hatchetman are new and have a long way to go. I know. And they're very good at the three-part harmony thing. Very good. They really are. There is no doubt they are accomplished musicians.
I'll be interested to see where they go, whether they can take this form and fuck with it, or whether they'll remain in the shadow of their heroes.
They're playing at the Cape Town Fringe until Saturday 27 September. Book here.

A friend of mine said she came across a blog where a built in bench was done using an Ikea mattress. Could you believe? I wasn't sold until I read the post. Here is the original post on Teal and Lime - click here. After I read the post I thought, no problem, let's give it a shot. We headed down to Ikea (first thing in the morning and middle of the week to guarantee no one was there). Monica chose cowhide to compliment her awesome late 1800's farm house.
We picked up two cowhides ($199 each) and a twin size mattress ($79) some kitchen gadgets and a giant size chocolate bar at the cash register. On Teal and Lime, she used the foam and the mattress cover as batting! Brilliant!! Foam is not cheap and this bench is almost 8ft long. This mattress was a pretty good savings compared to 4" foam at any fabric store.
I should also mention, the bench was built in by woodworkers and the sewing of the two hides were done by a cobbler. Other than some edge roll and staples, no other supplies were needed.
The project took one afternoon and it turned out great! Click on the image below to see the project in action.

Here in West-Central Minnesota we are experiencing some intense weather patterns again. Tornados have been spotted not too far North of my location in Montevideo, Minnesota. And right now, as I type this, thunder, lightning, rain and wind are happening. But, for me, that raises a question.
When does light rain and light winds become heavy rain and heavy winds? Is there a definite amount needed for the upgrade? Is there a tapering scale used to elevate the status?
Warnings, watches, weather. It's all so confusing to me. And I just said to my wife a little bit ago, Why does this happen during the night? I wanna see this happen!! I have been watching a video on Facebook taken locally of a tornado coming down out of the sky!! Quite intense.
Keep your eyes to the skies, my friends. You never know when the weather can change from good to bad, or bad to worse.

Evie left her room 5 times last night. It was a long night.
There are hacky ways to do this. I tried a solution and it broke after I rebooted my computer (where the software was running) and I could never get it working again. Get an Alexa device for her room and it will be super simple to do.

A panel of SEC and national media members was recently comprised to vote on preseason first and second All-SEC teams, and the predicted order of each division, along with an overall conference champion.
When Mississippi State's votes were added up, the Bulldogs were predicted to finish fourth in the West Division, after Alabama, LSU, and Ole Miss respectively. With 91 overall poll votes, MSU is essentially picked to be the 7th best team in the conference, having received the most votes among teams which did not receive any first place votes within their division.
Bulldog big man, Jarvis Varnado, was selected to the preseason All-SEC 2nd team. For the full press release, visit secsports.com.

Everyone has a favorite author. Some people even have lists of favorite authors. In this case, I read a book some time back written by one of my favorite authors: Andre Norton, the Grande Dame of science fiction.
I read this book for two reasons: 1) it was written by Andre Norton – that almost guarantees a good story; 2) the title of the book is Star Gate.
Stargate, the movie and the television series, refers to a circular portal that creates an artificial wormhole between planets. According to the film and TV series, the Stargates were built by a vanished race of aliens – called the Ancients – who lived on Earth long before humans did and who populated the galaxy. Through one event after another, however, these Ancients dwindled and died off, leaving room for humanity to move in.
I have not seen the Stargate film straight through. However, I am a big fan of the spin-off series Stargate SG-1 (SG stands for 'Stargate' 1, or Stargate team 1). Stargate SG-1 was in the top tier of my favorite TV shows when it was running; since the series finished its run, TV has gotten somewhat boring. Nothing but crime shows everywhere one looks.
*Sigh* They just don't make sci-fi shows like they used to.
Anyway, back to Andre Norton's Star Gate. I am very lucky that the book had a description inside the cover; otherwise Norton's story might have shocked me. Andre Norton's Star Gate is nothing like the movie or the TV series. I highly doubt the creators for either the movie or the series even know about the book that bore the name of their movie/series before they even had the idea for their stories.
Andre Norton's Star Gate takes place on the planet of Gorth. Gorth is an inhabited planet whose inhabitants are called Gorthians. For a long time these Gorthians were a primitive people. I am under the impression they lived like loose tribes of people who fought as much as they worked together – if they even worked together. Norton implies that this time in Gorthian history was not worth writing home about, mostly because it's a time the Gorthians prefer not to remember. They seem to consider it embarrassing. Anyway, this Gorthian 'Dark Age' was brought to an end by the arrival of strange beings from the stars. These beings the Gorthians dubbed 'Star Lords.'
Yep, you guessed it. The Star Lords are human travelers from outer space.
The Star Lords met and tamed the native Gorthians. By 'tamed' I mean they taught them metal working, farming, etc. They essentially gave the Gorthians all the marks of civilization. By the time of Star Gate, the Gorthians are experiencing their own High to Late Middle Ages. The Star Lords have remained with them up to this point, never imposing their will on the Gorthians. The two races have been friends almost since the Star Lords' arrival.
In fact, they are on such good terms that intermarriage between the long-lived Star Lords and Gorthians is not unheard of. It's not exactly common, since there are few Star Lords and they live a long time, but it's not forbidden either.
The book starts out with the Gorthian protagonist, Kincar S'Rud (I think S'Rud means 'Son of Rud'), thinking over his planet's history and his own future. From him we learn that native Gorthians have very pale skin – I believe their skin is almost albino white – blue/green hair, and six fingers on each hand.
This is in sharp contrast to the Star Lords, who are described as having darker skin and – of course – ten fingers between their two hands. They are also much, much taller than the average Gorthian and live apart, in a city built around their starships.
Kincar is the son of the daughter of the ruler of his keep. His mother has been dead for most of his life, and his grandfather appears to be dying. But this is the least of Kincar's worries at the moment. His cousin and rival for mastery of the hold has come to the keep, bringing strange rumors with him: the Star Lords are planning to leave Gorth!
For some reason, this cousin of Kincar's does not like the Star Lords. He is not the only one, to be sure, but these haters are largely outnumbered by the average Gorthians, who appreciate the learning and peace the Star Lords have brought to them. Kincar is among the latter group and – more to the point – he does not like this cousin a whit. The guy apparently has a nasty attitude that could breed more nastiness if given the chance. And what better chance would this cousin have to let loose with his bad attitude than to be named holdruler of the keep?
Technically, mastery of the hold should pass to Kincar when his grandfather dies. But Kincar soon learns that there is a snag. His mother was Gorthian – but his father was a Star Lord!
A half-blood could rule a Gorthian keep no problem – except that Kincar's troublesome cousin could make it a very BIG problem. With Kincar's half-blood status, he could challenge Kincar's legal right to take mastery of the hold. A good number of the hold residents would probably support Kincar taking power, but his cousin and his supporters could take up arms against Kincar's supporters which would lead to outright battle for the position of holdruler. Kincar therefore has two choices before him: stay and fight his cousin, causing bloodshed and possibly kin strife within the hold, or leave and find the Star Lords with whom he will be safe from his cousin.
It's a hard decision for him. The hold is his home, his security; Kincar knows of the Star Lords but he has never met one. Still, he decides that the price of remaining in his beloved hold would cause too much strife. So he leaves.
He's not gone long when a horn sounds, proclaiming the death of his grandfather. He has to pick up his pace now. As long as he lives, he is a rival for mastery of the hold. And bad guys really hate rivals, especially when those rivals are so much better than they are themselves.
After a few days travel, Kincar meets a handful of half-bloods traveling to an undisclosed location. The group is attacked and two Star Lords burst into the fight, rescuing their kin from danger.
Kincar is practically thunderstruck by the mere sight of the Star Lords. After all, he's heard about them but he's never seen them. A legend is much more intimidating when one is looking it straight in the face. After beating off a second attack, the group reaches a larger gathering of Star Lords and half-bloods. This gathering includes women and children.
During the ride, Kincar learns that the rumors about the Star Lords leaving Gorth are true. The Star Lords have experienced a severe division of policy: a handful of the Star Lords think that the Gorthians should become their slaves. The rest find this idea abhorrent and are leaving to avoid the temptation to enslave the people they have helped to civilize.
This particular conclave of half-bloods, Gorthians, and Star Lords – most of them related by marriage or blood – has decided to remain on Gorth. To them it is home. No other planet in the galaxy could compare. Those who are attacking them are the Star Lords who are determined to take Gorth and make slaves of the Gorthians.
Kincar finds himself ill at ease with these Star Lords and half-bloods. Most of the people in this group know each other; most of them are related. He does not know if any of the Star Lords are related to him by his father; they are all strangers to him. They are strangers to be respected and obeyed, yes, but still strangers.
And Kincar doesn't get to know any of them very well in the few minutes he is in the camp. The Star Lords' enemies attack almost as soon as Kincar's group enters the camp, forcing the Star Lords to activate their escape plan before they are prepared.
What is their escape plan? It involves two pillars tied together by a web of rainbow light. Passing through this web, this Star Gate, the Star Lords are forced to destroy the gate to destroy their enemies and prevent them from following the escapees through to the other side – an alternate Gorth.
Aha, now you get it! Andre Norton's Star Gate does not make a bridge between planets. It makes a portal through time. But this isn't your run-of-the-mill portal through time, the one that puts you in the far past or in the far future. Instead this gate takes the Star Lords to a Gorth in an alternate timeline; it is the same Gorth, but someone or something in its history took a different course of action. Thus the Gorth that Kincar and his companions have just entered is the same as the Gorth they left, but its history is not their history. The entire thing works more like a…. Sidestep through time than a jump forward or backward in time. It's a little like the reality-hopping adventures which the characters in the TV series Sliders experienced. It's the same planet, but everything and everyone on it is different from what they knew on 'their' planet.
The Star Lords had hoped to land in an alternate timeline where Gorth had no people on it. Problem is, before they could find this alternate Gorth they were attacked. It was go through the portal or get killed. With the gate destroyed, they may be stuck on this Gorth instead of the one they wanted.
A little recon soon shows them that not only did they find a Gorth with people on it, they have found a Gorth where the Star Lords are a lazy, cruel people. These Star Lords have enslaved the native Gorthians, who were already civilized by this time (something like 20th century civilization was my impression). They have walked into the very horror they were running from in their own Gorth.
Now the group has a choice: find a way to the Gorth they want and leave this Gorth as is; or defeat these evil Star Lords and free the native Gorthians.
I won't spoil the rest of the story here. Doubtless I have already mixed up some of the details; it has been some time since I read the book. Suffice it to say that Star Gate is as engaging as any of Norton's other stories; not least because the protagonist continually refers to the Star Lords as 'aliens.'
Of course, to Kincar humans are aliens. But when most science fiction focuses on humanity's interaction with different races from different worlds, it is a bit of a jolt to read every few lines that having ten fingers is an 'alien' quality! Norton was good for stuff like that.
Though the book does not resemble either the movie or the TV series with which it has shared a similar name, it is quite as entertaining as its 'younger siblings.' An enjoyable read that will keep one turning the pages, Star Gate is one of Norton's home run stories. I definitely recommend it for light reading.
Until next time!

This was the first of two Mario Mode days. And I didn't do much until I got ready for seeing the Cat Lady. (I should call her something else. But I'll change the reference for simplicity only if she gets to the state of being a girlfriend.)
- - - - - -
GFJ was at her Mom's, being there for her as she was being admitted to the rehab care facility at the other side of her assisted living complex. Of course, she stayed until mid afternoon before taking the trip out to see her son in Pennsylvania. I knew that I had to control whether my phone would ring or not when I was with the Cat Lady. So, on the way over to New Jersey, I chatted with GFJ while she was driving to State College. I figured that she'd be talked out for the day - and I was almost right. But I had to end the call as I was reaching the Cat Lady's house.
The Cat Lady was running later than expected, as she had massive traffic jams to deal with on her way home from work. Elizabeth NJ to Bergen County is a nasty commute during early rush hour, and the drive took twice as long as she planned for. So we went to the restaurant a little later than expected. But the restaurant was well worth it. She had Chicken Piccata, while I had Seafood over Linguine in a Vodka sauce. Both were yummy. (Note for purists: Vodka sauce overpowers the taste of the seafood, and could be used to hide the taste of day old seafood.) Instead of having dessert at the restaurant, we decided to go elsewhere - and have some ice cream. Although there was a 30 minute line to get in the door, it was worth the effort to get some great ice cream.
I could mention our conversations, but the Cat Lady was set off by problems from her ex and was venting a little about both the ex and about problems on the job. Like GFJ, she has a potentially precarious financial position. But she has a job that can pay "real money". I guess that this will be part of the compromises I'll have to deal with if I want to live with someone again.
All too soon, the Cat Lady was fading. So I took her home. When I got home, it was another call from GFJ as she was reaching her son's place after a long nap on the way there. Hopefully, she'll enjoy a good weekend there....

Act 1 Scene 1
A blasted training ground
Three players are huddled round a brazier. Vidic, Ferdinand and Giggs
Giggs : when shall we three win again, in thunder lightning or Old Trafford?
Ferdinand: When the hurlyburly's done, When the Premiership's lost and won. Or just lost, actually.
Vidic: I must away to Milan, or at least somewhere with a decent manager
Enter Lord MoyesBeth
MoyesBeth: OK lads, we must stir our loins and lay low the foe Man U on Saturday
Giggs: But boss, we are Man U
MoyesBeth: Really?
Act 2 Scene 1
MoyesBeth's office
MoyesBeth: Is this a teamsheet which I see before me,
Kagawa toward my hand? Come, let me change thee.
I love thee not, and so I sub thee still.
Art thou not, Fellaini, capable
of shooting on sight? or art thou but
A selection of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from my defence-oppressed brain?
I see thee yet, poor form as palpable
As yet another home draw.
Act 3 Scene 4
A pre-match warmup
Enter the ghost of Sir Alex and sits in the duogut
MoyesBeth: Avaunt! and quit my sight! let the Racing Post hide thee!
Thy bones are marrowless, thy tea is cold;
Thou hast no speculation in those eyes
Which thou dost glare with!
Act 5 Scene 5
A boardroom.
Lord MoyesBeth enters, followed by Lord Glazer
MoyesBeth: No man who is born of football can harm MoyesBeth
Lord Glazer: But Glazer is born of money. Take that, MoyesBeth
MoyesBeth pockets a five million pound cheque and exits
Exeunt all, pursued by a crowd of distressed gentllefans

text: In the spirit of my puzzling on decorative illustration, I went from Walter Crane, to Kay Nielsen to discovering Harry Clarke, a stained glass designer from the 1880's through to 1931. He is very decorative and is reminiscent of the divine Aubrey Beardsley in his line and spirit. However, Art Nouveau was on the way out when he came on the scene...and maybe we do not know him as well as he was one of those spirits that are lost in-between? I love this work...the patterned black and white, with borders that bleed into the picture, his strong black and white patterning even in the bolder images...and the way his love of line and pattern and border push into his color work...never enough stuff to fit in the frame. Need to learn more about him. Maybe go this noodly for the Marie Antoinette pictures. That would be new...and a bit more of a push? What do you think? This is a gumdrop for you!

My Cancer Story
In the fall of 2016, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 rectal cancer. Below are the posts that I wrote through the diagnosis and treatment process.
While I would not wish this journey on anyone, it has been one of the very gifts of my life.
I hope that as you read the different parts of my cancer journey it will be of value to you. If you have a friend who is going through their own health or other personal crisis, please feel free to share it with them in hopes it may help them as well.
After the 22nd post, you'll notice there is a void in any further information. The fact is, once I could get back to regular life, I jumped back in to work, but also a massive move to our new home in Western New York. But, I want to let you know that I had a great ostomy reversal surgery, and subsequently, my ongoing tests have been good with strong, positive indicators. My doctors have reminded me that it will be important to maintain frequent testing through the 2 and 5 year marks, which are the two critical dates.
#1 A Messy Concoction of Uncertainty, Dread and Fear
The call came at around 12:50pm last Thursday. Dr Deabes announced himself and my heart started to beat fast. "How are you feeling" was his first question. I responded positively. But that was not the intent of the call. I knew that. "A couple of things," he said. "The blood tests were unremarkable." He went…Read More
#2 MRI Required
Just got home from the meeting with Surgeon. We learned a lot about the most likely options and paths, but still more testing is required to know what specific stage of cancer it is. Essentially, that means they need to determine how much, if any, it has spread within the rectum and lymph nodes. This…Read More
#3 Os-to-me….. Ostomy
Mandy welcomed Becky and I into her small treatment room. We'd been told by the lady who checked us in that she was the "angel" in this department. Becky sat on the treatment bed. I stood. The air seemed heavy and and the walls felt close. After some initial hello's we got right to the…Read More
#4 The Diagnosis
After a full week of scans, testing and meetings with doctors, the verdict, though still inconclusive, suggests that I have Stage 3 rectal cancer, with possible spread to lymph nodes. It's Stage 3 because the cancerous mass is, in fact, through the wall of the rectum. It is not contained as originally indicated in earlier…Read More
#5 The Planning Fallacy
There is a phenomenon in business and life called a "planning fallacy" in which predictions about a future project or task display an optimism bias and underestimate the time, expense or resources needed to complete it. And, while I am pretty good at spotting the planning fallacy in my role as a business owner or executive…Read More
#6 What If
Scared of what lies ahead for me, I'm often caught in a cycle of worry, fear and uncertainty. I hate the fact that this cancer has shown up. I'm angry at it and what I need to do to fix it. As a result, all sorts of "what ifs" pass through my thoughts on a…Read More
#7 A Decision Reached
Last Wednesday Dr. X, my new Oncologist, was straight with me in response to my many questions about the side effects of chemotherapy. "Listen, this treatment will be hard. And, yes, there will be side effects. There will be discomfort and maybe a number of other things will show up as well. You'll be fatigued…Read More
#8 Getting To Yes
The radiation technician directed me to lie face down, arms above my head, on a almost-hard, molded body holder that positioned me from my head to my upper thighs on the platform of the CT Scanning machine. She then covered me with a warm, blanket-like sheet. I was here for the set up and staging…Read More
#9 Day 1 Treatment Review
The prescription bottle of chemotherapy tablets stood beside me through breakfast. I had already removed the first three 500mg tablets and placed them in the overturned prescription bottle cap. Doctor X. and the pharmacist both stressed the need to take them after food was in my stomach. So I finished breakfast and waited a little…Read More
#10 Not A 60% Guy
Becky asked Dr. L, the Integrative Medicine cancer specialist, directly, "What are the odds that Tom will get the side effects from his treatment given his age and good health?" Dr. L didn't hesitate. "100%" He then paused for a few moments before adding, "We just don't know which ones will show up and when…Read More
#11 A Heavy Heart
She was crying in the change room next to me at the radiation treatment center. It was not a quiet weeping, but a heavy, infectious sobbing that crawled inside me. I didn't see her. I didn't talk to her. But I imagined what she might be experiencing. Maybe she'd just learned of her diagnosis. Or,…Read More
#12 Man Up
Today I complete the 23rd of 28 days of my radiation and chemotherapy treatment. I'll be more than 80% through this first part of my treatment program. And while I wish I could tell you things are getting easier, the fact is, they are getting harder. Chemotherapy and radiation are cumulative, so over time, the…Read More
#13 Stage One Is Done
Last Friday officially marked the end of the first phase of my treatment plan. It ended with a blood test. The previous Monday I graduated from radiation and completed my final morning and evening oral chemotherapy treatment. The most difficult side effects are almost gone, while others continue to persist in lessening ways. For the…Read More
#14 Mid-January Update
"You suck at updating your blog!" my friend Alan reminded me by text recently. Humbly, I agreed. I haven't posted any updates here over the last month or so. The fact is, I haven't had much in the way of new information to report since my last post on December 19. And, with the holidays…Read More
#15 Becky's Update from the Hospital
Tom was in surgery yesterday for just over 5 hours at Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla, CA. His surgeon said the surgery went according to plan; they removed what was left of the tumor and most of his rectum, two lymph nodes and performed an ileostomy. We'll have the results of whether or not…Read More
#16 Becky's weekend update on Tom
Tom had a rough day on Saturday. The pain in his abdomen was really intense; not so much from the incisions, but as a result of his digestive system trying to work again. Doctor's orders were to try to eat tiny amounts of really soft foods so his system could get used to processing things…Read More
#17 Home Again
Just around dinner time last night, Dr. W dropped into my hospital room asked if I felt like going home. Enthusiastically, I responded "Yes!" Becky and I looked at each other and smiled in relief. We were free to go home. I had resigned myself to stay for the night again, as the nurses had…Read More
#18 The Biopsy Results
Last Friday evening, just before dinner, my cell phone rang indicating a call from the Scripps Health system. I answered with anticipation. Dr. W, my surgeon greeted me and let me know she'd just recieved the pathology report from the biopsy of my tumor, lymph nodes and surrounding tissue. "First thing" she said, "is all…Read More
#19 Breathtakingly Beautiful
It's been a month since surgery. And I'm happy to report that my recovery is going really well. Over the last week or so, I can tell a significant increase in my energy levels and decreased fatigue. I'm back to work with all my executive coaching clients and active in my role as CEO with…Read More
#20 The Grind
It's been over two months since I shared my last update with you. That post was written a month after surgery and a week or so before I began my "mop-up" chemotherapy treatment. Since then, I've had moments where I had some idea about what I might share with you beyond a simple update, but…Read More
#21 Enough
Two Sundays ago, I officially completed my final round of chemo. In some ways it's hard to believe the treatment is done, while at the same time, it feels like it's been the longest 18 weeks of my life. Fact is, as described in my last post, I'd had enough of the grind. When I…Read More
#22 Surgery, Part Two
At the meeting with my surgeon last week, Dr. W gave me a full exam, checked my CT Scans and looked at my labs. She confirmed everything she saw was supportive of my ostomy reversal surgery. If you've read any of my previous posts, you'll know the ostomy part of my treatment has been one…Read More
This is a speech I gave after after my first surgery. The speech title and description is listed to the right.
Disaster Preparedness of the Personal Kind
Business owners, entrepreneurs and executives often anticipate unexpected business events and prepare for them in the form of preventative or contingent actions. Insurance, equipment maintenance, disaster recovery plans and data backups all serve to help you be prepared for these difficult business realities.
But, most, if not all leaders are completely unprepared to face an intense personal crisis or disaster, and the related effects it could have on both them and their business. When a major personal event like a debilitating sickness, relationship crisis, family breakup or personal breakdown occur, it can wreak havoc on you and on your business.
Join Tom Adams as he shares the lessons he's discovered since his Stage 3 cancer diagnosis in the fall of 2016. Along with his own experience, he'll share other insights gained from his years as an Executive Coach. At the end of the session, you'll have a personal disaster preparedness roadmap that will support you if a crisis does occur and, in doing so, help save your business as well.

how I work
Good design is a process that can not be rushed.
Clear communication and creativity is paramount in realizing a desired solution for my clients. Understanding context, history and the needs of the end user are critical in forming the basic foundation of a successful project.
As a designer, it is important for me to fully comprehend a clients' problem with their existing home, office or specific space. By having clear lines of communication – in conversations, design drawings, models and materials, the problem is vigorously investigated within a reasonable & realistic timeframe. Good design takes time.
I am excited to work with you to create or transform your space into an environment that is functional, comfortable and beautiful.

Journal Inquirer
STORRS - Christyn Williams knows what Maori Davenport can do on the basketball court.
The UConn freshman guard is hopeful that Davenport - her teammate on the 2018 United States U-18 national team - will get another opportunity during her senior year at Henderson High in Troy, Alabama.
Davenport was ruled ineligible by the Alabama High School Athletic Association for cashing a $857.20 check from USA Basketball after helping Team USA to the gold medal at the FIBA Americas U-18 Championships in Mexico City. Among those supporting the Rutgers recruit are Rockets star Chris Paul, ESPN analyst Jay Bilas, the WNBA, and the Women's Sports Foundation.
"I've not talked to her but I've read a lot about it," Williams said Wednesday night after helping the third-ranked Huskies to an 82-38 rout of Cincinnati at Gampel Pavilion. "I think it's ridiculous and very unfair to her to have to miss her senior season. I hope they can get it squared away."
The AHSAAA has not budged under the public pressure saying Davenport violated its "amateur rule" by cashing the check. Davenport's mother has repaid USA Basketball and USA Basketball has taken responsibility for the error. The payments are permitted by the NCAA and by some state athletic organizations.
UConn coach Geno Auriemma, who served as the USA national team coach from 2009 through 2016, learned of the situation only recently.
"I don't know the whole story, but I've heard about it," he said. "From what I've read, it seems like it's unfair to the kid. But I don't know enough about it to have an opinion on it."
Davenport, a 6-foot-4 forward, did not make the original U-18 roster after trials in May but was among three players added in June after three withdrew. As a junior at Henderson High, she averaged 18.2 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 5.1 blocked shots to help her team to an Alabama 5A state title.
In the U-18 event, she averaged 7.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.7 blocked shots to earn a spot on the all-tournament team. The gold-medal performance assured Team USA a spot in the 2019 FIBA U-19 World Cup.
UConn freshman Olivia Nelson-Ododa was also a member of the U-18 squad.
Staying loyal
Jamelle Elliott has had a front-row seat for every UConn-Cincinnati game. But this was the first time the former UConn star and assistant coach wasn't sitting on one of the teams' benches. Elliott, let go after nine years as the Bearcats' coach last March, watched the game with Auriemma's wife, Kathy, from a seat across from the UConn bench.
"I was here as I always am to watch UConn and cheer them on," Elliott said. "And I always root for Cincinnati and the players that I recruited. I look forward to seeing them progress the rest of the way."
The Washington, D.C. native is a member of the Huskies' 1,000-1,000 club as a player and was a standout on the 1995 national championship team.
In July, UConn hired her as an associate athletic director for the newly-formed National C Club.
"I love my new job," Elliott said. "I'm working with great people. The administration side is something that I'm learning to do and every day I'm learning something different and new."

The Queen has teamed up with Kate today for a rare joint engagement, seven years after their first outing alone.
And despite the length of time that has passed, the pair looked cosy as they arrived at King's College London this morning, sharing a blanket as they waved to crowds in the back of their car.
The royal pair will open Bush House, the latest education and learning facilities on the Strand Campus of King's College, as the Grade II listed building has been redeveloped.
The Queen, who is patron of King's College and visited in 2002 and 2012, will tour the facilities with Kate and meet supporters of the development.
They will view a robotics demonstration, including robotic surgery, and a demo showing how sensors made from textiles can measure useful information about the body.
They will also visit a virtual trading floor and meet students from the Entrepreneurship Institute, which supports entrepreneurial thinking, skills and experiences amongst King's students, staff and alumni.
The Queen is expected to unveil a plaque to formally open Bush House.
Later, the Duchess of Cambridge will head onto a solo engagement at the Foundling Museum to understand how it uses art to make a positive contribution to society by engaging with vulnerable and marginalised young people.
The museum tells the history of the Foundling Hospital, the UK's first children's charity and public art gallery.
Kate, who visited the museum in 2017, is expected to view Bedrooms of London, a photography exhibition that highlights the reality of the living conditions of London's most disadvantaged children.
The photographs, by Katie Wilson, have gone on display in partnership with The Childhood Trust, to capture the reality of growing up in poverty in the capital.
Each photo will be shown at the Foundling Museum along with a first-hand narrative collected and written by Isabella Walker, with the intention of giving people an insight into what it's like to live in a city in poverty surrounded by extreme wealth.
The project will be shown at the museum until 5 May 2019.

What I learned after being hacked in mid-air
Steven Petrow, the journalist who had his computer hacked while on a flight, recounts his experience and what he learned. Video by Ryan Connelly Holmes for USA TODAY
Last week I wrote about being hacked mid-air while using the Gogo Internet service on an American Airlines flight.
Since then I've learned a lot. I've turned my cyber life upside down, from finally letting go of a Y2K-era EarthLink address to taking the easy but often-delayed advice to download a password manager, and installing a VPN on every one of my devices.
To make sure I wasn't leaving any loopholes, I asked JD Sherry, vice president of cloud security at Optiv, to check my new regime — and then grade me on my efforts.
Here's what I learned and then what I did about it:
1. Public Wi-Fi is not secure: Whether using the Gogo service or any public hotspot, like those at Starbucks, Panera, or the public library, people should assume someone will be able to see their data. These networks operate with few security protections, making access quick and easy, and it's tempting to hop on and save some of your monthly cellular data. There's a hidden cost, though.
"You have to assume a zero trust mentality," security expert Sherry told me. "If you can avoid getting on any public Wi-Fi network, that's job one."
2. Use a VPN (virtual private network) on all devices: Last summer I took a colleague's advice and installed a VPN on my iPhone. Maybe I was just being lazy, but I didn't do the same on my laptop. I've now downloaded Private Internet Access (PIA) on all my devices, which costs $39 a year — that's about three bucks a month — and will cover up to five devices.
Sherry's response: "That's fantastic. It's a key step … so that you can feel pretty comfortable that no one will be able to intercept [your emails]."
3. Bye-bye, POP: I confess, I had a sentimental attachment to my EarthLink email account, which I've had since 2002, but it turned out to be an unhealthy one. The unsecured POP3 email protocol used by EarthLink is "a big no no," according to Sherry.
Sherry advised me to switch to an email provider that offers IMAP over SSL (or the newer TLS) to achieve two-way encryption. Earthlink now also offers IMAP but as its own site says: "Using encryption with IMAP only protects the data you are downloading from the EarthLink server. It does not encrypt your outbound email." That's not good enough for me.
I now have a Gmail account, which automatically encrypts incoming and outgoing email using TLS.
"Google made a change effective March 2014 ensuring that no one can listen in on your messages as they go back and forth between you and Gmail's servers," explained Sherry. "No matter if you're using public Wi-Fi or logging in from your computer, phone or tablet." That's great to know.
4. Encryption apps: Even though I have a VPN on my iPhone I've also downloaded an app named WICKR, which bills itself as "the most trusted messenger in the world." I'm planning to use this for sensitive work emails, and if I were ever to have an affair I suppose I'd use it for that, too.
(It turns out a related non-profit, The Wickr Foundation, was one of the dozens of companies and organizations that filed amicus briefs in support of Apple in its fight against the FBI's request it hack into an iPhone. It was my email research about this Apple vs. FBI privacy fight that a fellow passenger snooped on, setting me on this cybersecurity house-cleaning.)
5. Use a password manager: I'm not sure why I had resisted doing this for so long, but downloading Dashlane proved easy and all 172 of my passwords and logins now live there securely.
This protection would likely have shielded the emails I was blithely sending over my MacBook Air from my hacker who accessed my, and possibly others' emails.
How I wish I had taken those steps earlier. The man who approached me after our plane landed had recited — verbatim — several lines from one lengthy email while telling me he had hacked my email. He turned out to be a felon.
I asked Sherry to grade my efforts. He was encouraging in that way a teacher can be with a slow student, raising it from "F, or "failing miserably," to a "C+." I asked, "What else do I need to do?"
He explained I needed to regularly download software updates (I don't because my laptop doesn't have enough memory); that even though I'm using Dashlane I should change all those logins and passwords (that's so much work but I've started with the most important accounts, like my financial and medical accounts); and that I should use multifactor authentication, which proves you are who you say you are by sending a code to your cell phone that you must reply to.
I said that sounded very inconvenient, to which he replied absolutely correctly, "Well, your convenience may have to be compromised."
And that is the $64,000 question: "How much privacy are we going to give up in the name of security?" Which is exactly what Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) asked the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.
For me, I realized after my hack that I needed a lot more security just to maintain a decent level of privacy. In the weeks to come, I'm going to try to bring my grade even higher. Stay tuned.
Agree or disagree with my advice? Let me know what your feelings are on privacy and national security.

Boulder Colorado is an outdoor recreation and fitness mecca that is home to over three hundred sunny days per year on average. Simply living in Boulder makes getting up off the couch that much easier than most American City's.
According to the recent results of the annual Gallup-Healthways Well-Being index, Boulder again has the lowest rate of adult obesity in the nation. The city has achieved this honor every year since 2008, with the exception of 2009.
Only 12.4 percent of Boulder's adult residents are considered obese. It is the only one of 189 metropolitan statistical areas surveyed in 2013 with an obesity rate below 15 percent. Nationwide, the obesity rate among adults is at 27.1 percent — the highest that Gallup-Healthways has recorded since it began its yearly surveys in 2008.
In order to determine the results of its survey, Gallup interviewed at least 300 people in each of the 189 metropolitan statistical areas. The used the self-reported height and weight of those individuals to calculate Body Mass Index scores, with BMI scores of over 30 being considered obese.
Boulder Colorado was one of three front range metro areas to make the list of the least obese, joined by Fort Collins-Loveland at third, with a rate of 18.2 percent, and Denver-Aurora, tied for sixth, with a rate of 19.3 percent. Among the largest metro communities, with more than one million residents, Denver-Aurora was tied for least obese with San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos, CA.
Colorado has ranked among the top ten states for frequent exercise every year since Gallup has been tracking, this year coming in fifth place with 59.8 percent of residents surveyed reporting 3 or more days of exercise a week.
Boulder and other communities in Colorado are a draw to those who enjoy the outdoors. We're proud to call this fit place our home. If you'd like to make it your home too, Housing Helpers is glad to assist you in finding a great neighborhood. For more information, contact us today.

I was wondering if it is possible to create a report that shows the datetime value in the timezone of the browser it is being displayed in.
e.g. in report writer I populate a column with a datetime, in the database this is saved as UTC but I want it to display in the timezone of the browser which executes the report.
Is this possible?

Ride the Range @ V Bar Ranch !!
Orville and Elin Rusher (Elin on rightwith cowboy hat)
The owners of the V Bar Ranch invite a fortunate few to actively participate in an authentic Western experience at their mountain ranch in the Sangre de Cristo Range of Colorado.
Ride the range, inspecting up to 800 head of cattle, mending fences and checking water supplies, all while learning the "ins and outs" of running a major ranching operation. Our Valley, nestled between the wooded Wet Mountains on the East and the majestic Sangre de Cristo's to the West, 150 miles SouthWest of Denver, Colorado, provides a venue that is both unspoiled and unmatched.
Ride rugged ranch land on well trained and conditioned Quarter horses, doing real and necessary ranch duties, all the while keeping a watchful eye for a heard of antelope or a hungry coyote looking for its next meal.
You'll have the opportunity to ride two distinct ranches; the dramatically beautiful Music Meadows Ranch at the foot of the Sangre de Cristo's and the ruggedly picturesque Dead Mule Gulch Ranch in lower canyon country.
A lucky few will even have the opportunity to participate in the Autumn cattle round-up. (It's truly a unique experience to "bring in the cattle and ship them out"!
After a full morning of riding the range and working the cattle, tie up the horses, stretch your legs and enjoy a much earned lunch in a quiet Aspen grove along a crystal-clear mountain stream.
At nearly 10,000 feet, with no other humans (except for a "crew" of no more than four) within miles, the air is clear and clean, the weather ideal (usually), the silence overwhelming and the views spectacular.
Your host and "trail boss" is Elin Rusher, a rancher since birth and a graduate of Colorado State University with a degree in Animal Science.
For reservations and more information E_mail us at: mailto:email@example.com or call us on the phone at: 1.719.783.2461 (Ranch). A deposit of $50 per person is required in advance of your ride. Kids age 12 or over are welcome, but they'd better be prepared for the "real thing".
Come Equipped
Bring your Western boots and don't forget your work gloves, hat, sun screen, lip balm and warm jacket. Autumn days can start warm and end cold, so layers are good. And don't forget your camera!
Cancelation Policy
If you cancel your ride at least 14 days prior to the date of arrival, the deposit will be returned, less a $10 cancelation fee. If you cancel less than 14 days prior to the date of arrival, the deposit is forfeited. However, if your ride is rescheduled for another time, all but a $10 cancellation fee will be applied to the new ride.
Rides & Rates
Rides are available during Spring, Summer and Autumn, until early November. Call Elin Rusher for reservations and she will do her best to accomodate your plans with her ranch work. Call early to reserve your ride, and be sure to ask about the Autumn cattle round-up.

Our counselors are available to you 24/7 to answer any questions you have and help you find the the treatment program that fits your needs.
All calls completely confidential.1-877-823-5432
When someone is going in and out of rehabilitation facilities, and relapsing often, it isn't that they're a lost cause. However, it does mean that there is something wrong with the treatment option they keep failing at. In many instances, these failures to remain abstinent occur because someone isn't staying in rehabilitation long enough nor are they addressing the specific reasons for addiction. For example, if someone is just receiving detox services or short-term rehab, there are probably things in their immediate environment back at home which are being left unresolved meaning a sure relapse after they return. Having the capacity to identify and handle these types of drug triggers normally takes quite a bit of time, and it takes being out of that particular environment to be able to have clarity about what they are and eliminate them from one's life. Long-term inpatient and residential drug rehab facilities in Seguin, Texas in many cases are not the first choice when one wants rehabilitation simply because they require a more significant commitment. They are however an individual's best chance in Seguin at being able to get off drugs forever, particularly if the program offers a rehabilitation plan that thoroughly addresses every facet of the person's life that could be prompting their substance abuse.
If someone you care about is struggling with drug abuse and won't get help, or has given up on help because of past failures, consult with a quality drug rehabilitation facility yo get an intervention started. An intervention can help where other efforts failed if conducted properly, so the individual can easily see what he has to lose if they don't receive rehabilitation and what he stands to gain if he does. So meet with a drug rehabilitation counselor in Seguin, Texas today to get an intervention started if it is the right step.

Operation No Mile Left Behind
My friend Jen has been struggling a little bit after our marathon high in San Diego. Without the looming marathon and with her busy work schedule (this woman is a media powerhouse!), time just seemed to become nearly non-existent. Keyword in that last statement is nearly.
You must read Jen's post HERE. When I read this post, all I could think was - BRILLIANT. These are the words so many people need to hear and read. Lots of people get in a slump and just don't see a way out. Well, Jen declared "no mile left behind". The concept is simple... if you only have 20 minutes, you run. If you only have 10 minutes, you run. Just because you can't fit in the 8 or 10 miler that you were doing before doesn't mean there's not a benefit to getting out there and grabbing every mile you can... even if it's only 1. Why isn't your fitness and well-being worth taking advantage of every opportunity? Instead of blowing off that 15 minutes and saying "I don't have enough time to do much", take that 15 minutes and make it 15 minutes of power and determination.
What a wonderful concept. I'm convinced that Jen should start a movement with this concept. So many people that just "don't have the time" right now to move... why not take advantage of every. single. minute?
The results? Since Jen made this statement... she went from slump to a 9-day running streak. Some days only a mile. She might get in 6 one day, but that doesn't make the 1 any less valuable. Big picture... even if you only ran one mile a day, 365 miles in a year, approximately 36,500 calories burned... that's 10 lbs you fought just by dedicating yourself to taking advantage of every opportunity. (Don't mistake the purpose of this though, she's not insinuating that you have to go on an everyday streak of running, but just to seize the opportunities you have, no matter how small... because even small steps eventually add up to big dividends.)

We've found a few issues to fix since the big update a few weeks ago, and we added a few new features along the way. Here is the list for this update. The 184.108.40.206 release notes are below.
- The prior update for the DCAP could cause your custom daily report to be replaced with a default version. That has been fixed, however we recommend you re-upload your custom report after performing a DCAP update.
- A carriage return will once again select the next cell in the Node View
- Non-communicating units are now displayed in the Monitor View tab. No longer do you need to go to the Node View tab to see non-comms, while you then look at the Monitor View to see the weakly communicating units.
- We added a few more scroll bars in windows when the CIT is run on laptops with smaller screens.
- You can now start multiple instances of the CIT, allowing you to view different sites at the same time.
- The Hawaii time zone has been added
- An audit trail history of configuration updates by user name and date is available in the upper right area of the Site Configuration tab.
- A number of subtle bugs in the new Filtering function have been fixed.
Initial Release notes for 184.108.40.206
January 28, 2014
Welcome to the new Tehama CIT software version 18.104.22.168. Many of the enhancement ideas came from your great feedback, so keep your comments coming! The enhancements in this release include:
- Colors have been added to the various tabs to help you navigate.
- Search boxes to quickly find various data have been added. In the Site List, you can search on DCAP name, Property ID, Access Code, or IP address. In the grid views, you can search on any field such as Apartment Number or DeviceID.
Whenever a grid is displayed in the main Panel, a Find Box will appear at the top right corner of the main panel. This feature allows you to quickly highlight the cells containing a specific string in any of the grid fields.
Steps to using Search:
Enter the desired string in the Find box, hit Enter.
The cells containing the string will be highlighted:
Use the Find Next button to scroll through each highlighted cell.
Note that for each cell the corresponding graph (when existing) will automatically open and the corresponding MDT will be highlighted in the tree view.
There is also a Find box in the Site List tab, allowing you to easily find a site by Access Code, Site Name, etc.
- A Filtering feature has been added so you can restrict the displayed data in the main grid to specific devices. For example you can choose to see only uncommissioned MDTs, only Inovonics® PMTs, or only missing units. You can even filter on values, such as MDTs below a specified battery voltage.
You can either choose from several preset filters (Simple filters) or you can easily define your own (Custom filters. The filter is defined in the Filter settings tab below the main grid.
Simple filters:
By selecting the Simple Mode radio button, you get access to several useful filters.
You can choose to display only:
- Commissioned, Uncommissioned or both device
- A specific type of device: MDTs, PMTs, Repeaters or RPMT
- Devices with a Battery voltage below 2.2 V or/and a link quality below 40
- Specific Status icon
- Or any combination of those criteria.
After selecting the desired combination of criteria, click on Turn ON Filtering to enable the filtering of the data in the main Grid.
Custom filters:
By selecting the Custom Mode radio button, you can define your own set of criteria.
To edit each criterion, click on the first line and select the parameter to filter on in the dropdown list:
Click then on the second line and select the operator in the dropdown list:
And finally enter the constant in the 3rd cell– in our example we are defining a filter criteria to display only the devices whose Radio ID contains 81. You can add up to 10 criteria to your filter.
To disable an existing criterion, return its first line value to "unused". Once your set is defined, click on Turn ON Filtering to filter data in the Main grid.
You can also save your filter setting in a CSV file by clicking on Save Filter Setting, which will allow you to reuse the filter at a later time by clicking on Get Filter Setting and choosing your file.
When using a filter, the Tab names will be in between stars to remind you that you are viewing data in a filtered mode. To turn off the filtering, simply click on the filter settings tab and Turn OFF Filtering.
- RF information of RSSI and Link Quality values can be displayed as the average (like before) or just the most recent value. By clicking on the Options menu you can select which value is displayed:
- Uncommissioned PMTs can be filtered out in situations where there are neighboring property units showing up.
It is recommended to remove the uncommissioned Inovonics® devices from the CIT by checking the check box above the Network Tree – it will keep potential neighboring properties devices and their data from cluttering your network. Checking this box will remove the Monitor Data for UnCommissioned PMT and RPMTs in the CIT.
This can be useful when you are in an environment where there are "Neighboring" properties with sensor networks that include PMTs and RPMTs. These "Neighbor" PMT and RPMT nodes can be picked up via the Receiver attached to your DCAP. The DCAP has no real way of knowing that these PMT/RPMTs are from a "Neighbor" network. So it saves this data as it would for any Monitor Data received from a PMT/RPMT. The result is, you can get a lot of "Neighbor" nodes cluttering up the network tree and the Data Grid Views. Checking this box will remove this "extraneous" Monitor Data.
UnChecking this box will allow you to view Monitor Data for UnCommissioned PMT and RPMTs in the CIT.
- Building and Apt information is displayed on all graphs.
- A Daily Report file can now be created from the Monitor Data Views in the CIT.
By right clicking on the grid information displayed in the Monitor Data tab, a popup menu appears and one of the options is Generate Report. Upon selecting this menu option, a *.csv file can be created with the data from the grid. Note that which data is displayed in the grid is configurable using the other menu choices.
- The Sensus protocol has been added to the monitoring of our Encoder MDT product.
- Inovonics FA and ES Repeater status is now available in the daily report file.
- An FAQ link has been added under the Help menu.
Note: As part of the prior release, the CIT automatically checks for updates every time you launch the CIT. Therefore, the next time you launch the CIT, you will be notified that the new version is ready and you will be prompted to restart the CIT for the update to take effect. The update also includes a firmware update for the DCAP, and you will be notified when to update DCAPs as you connect to them
