Larry and Abby are in their late 60's. They are broke, about to lose their home and there is nothing they can do about it.
But it didn't have to be this way.
10 years ago, they had over $500,000 saved on top of the two rental units they inherited when Larry's mother passed away. At the time, Abby owned a successful small business and had a comfortable income. Everything looked like peaches and cream.
So what happened?
Patrick happened.
Pat is their son. He borrowed money from his parents seven years ago to open his auto repair business. Pat was a great mechanic but a horrible business person.
Larry and Abby just wanted to help their boy. They convinced themselves that the money their were forking over was just a loan. They were sure Patrick would pay them back some day.
But as the days passed, the likelihood of seeing that money again grew smaller and smaller.
He slowly drove the business into the ground.
But each time he feel deeper into the hole, Larry and Abby were there to bail him out. They were sure that all Pat needed was a little more working capital.
Of course, this enabled Pat to amass even greater debt. Within three years he exhausted all his parent's savings. They had to sell all the real estate they inherited and they refinanced their home as well. Even after going through all that, Pat was left with debts of over $300,000 including $150,000 to the IRS.
He was much too proud to close the business. He was determined to make it successful – even if it meant spending every last dime his parents had.
So was Patrick to blame for Abby and Larry's financial destruction?
Not in my opinion.
Abby and Larry volunteered to become an ATM machine for Patrick. Nobody put a gun to their heads. But that wasn't really the root problem.
You see, the reason they wrote blank checks to Pat was because they didn't take the time to think about what impact their decisions would have on their own financial future.
They were very mindful about their spending – except when it came to supporting their kids.
Pat needed money.
They wrote him a check.
It was automatic – and it was ridiculous.
Abby and Larry put their heads in the sand. They didn't pay attention to their own financial plan. In fact, they didn't have one.
Sure they had assets and income. But even though their estate was worth over $2.5 million at the high point, it didn't last long once they started writing checks for $50,000 every other month to keep their kid in business.
I know this is an extreme example. You might not be sending huge amounts to your children….but the amounts don't matter. And it also doesn't matter how your kids spend the money you give them. I don't care if they use your money to open a successful business or go to Harvard. If you can't afford it then you can't afford it. Period.
How do you know you can afford the support you give to your kids? Have you ever said "no" to your kids when they asked for financial help? How did that impact your relationship?
If you are on the receiving end of this, do you have an obligation to your parents to discuss the ramifications of their support?

ComCom gutless and ineffective when it comes to protecting Kiwis
The Commerce Commission's announcement that it had reached an agreement with the ANZ bank over swap loans is both sad and cynical, Labour's Primary Industries spokesperson Damien O'Connor says.
"The Commission has found failings by the bank but then lets them off the hook with a paltry $18.5 million payment for total absolution. Even Mother Teresa would struggle with this level of forgiveness for a bank that between 2005 and 2009 pocketed $6 billion in pre-tax profits.
"They have eliminated any possibility of a further investigation into the selling of millions of swap loans by the ANZ to New Zealand farmers between 2005 and 2009.
"The Commission has proved once again it is too gutless to take on the big boys. This decision fails to expose a practice that misled farmers into taking loans with unknown and hidden costs, leaving thousands out of pocket.
"The supermarkets walked away free, Chorus continues to overcharge for access to its copper network and the banks will now carry on milking farmers. The Commission needs to grow a pair or move over for an organisation that will act on behalf of hard working Kiwis, not the corporate giants.
"Many farmers were prevented from coming forward by confidentiality clauses in bailout packages when banks realised they were going to have to explain their swaps selling practices.
"In both the UK and Australia banks have been held to account for practices that were deemed misleading and unethical for lenders and investors who were ill equipped to understand these complex financial products. New Zealand has failed to do the same," says Damien O'Connor.

There is no Festival Internacional da Mascara Iberica this year so I'm reposting the one I attended in 2018.
Lisbon, Portugal
Belém is the venue for the XII Festival Internacional da Mascara Iberica, (13th International Iberian Mask Festival). Masks are the central theme of the festival, costumes, handicrafts, food, and wine, from Spanish and Portuguese regions also feature, as well as musical performances. The highlight of the four day festival is the Iberian Mask Parade, this year the Spanish and Portuguese groups have been joined by a group from Brazil and a group from Ireland. A total of thirty groups participate in the parade, with hundreds of people showcasing some of Iberia's ancient pagan traditions. A lot of the groups did performances during the parade. The information provided about the groups is from the official festival programme.
The Gigantones e Cabeçudos de Viana do Castelo are about four meters tall, come in pairs and reflect social class distinctions, the doctor and the lady represent the bourgeoisie and the other pair the 'common people'. The figures covered in moss are Los Hombres De Musgo De Béjar, and legend has it that on the eve of the Festival of St Marina, Christian soldiers covered themselves in moss by the walls surrounding the city in order to surprise their Moorish enemies the next morning.
The Carnaval Hurdano masks, dances and costumes are planned in great detail, presenting a duality between humans and animals, alluding to a prehistoric period. The Boi Tinga are from Brazil, and include a fancy dress bull, 'bigheads', and cowboys.
In January, the tiny village of Piornal in Spain has a surplus of turnips. Thousands of turnips are thrown at the masked figures, Jarramplas, covered in ribbons, who represent cattle thieves.
Merdeiros de Vigo, the Merdeiro is a character from the traditional Vigo carnival in Spain, dating back to the 1920s, and represents the rivalry which exists between sailors and farm labours. The characters, run, shout and 'hit' anyone who crosses their path.
The Máscaros de Vila Boa roam the streets of the village during carnival, wearing masks made of tinplate or hand craved from chestnut and painted in red and black, they go on the prowl for smoked sausages.
Wearing dresses and masks decorated with animal skin and horns, the Caretos da Lagoa, are a hybrid of humans and animal who use their masks or 'campina' to obtain supernatural powers so they can ward off negative forces.
Thunderous beats of drums accompany many of the parading groups. The Las Pantallas De Xinzo De Limia are from Spain and are named after their colourful masks. The Cardadores de Vale de Ílhavo, are Portuguese and venture onto the streets to spread fear among locals during carnival. The Bonitas De Sande, again get their name from their costumes, which are inspired by items bought back from the Philippines war.

A teenage girl who accused a senior at an elite New Hampshire prep school of raping her told jurors Wednesday that she felt "frozen" when he became aggressive.
At times, the details were extremely graphic and the teen could barely speak through her tears. The former St. Paul's student spent the day telling the jury her side of what happened on the night of May 30, 2014, when she says Owen Labrie, now 19, raped her. She was a 15-year-old freshman.
She says after hesitation, she eventually accepted a "Senior Salute" invitation from Labrie, which she describes as a tradition at the prestigious prep school where upperclassmen send notes to younger students to meet up, or explore together an unseen part of campus. She says Labrie offered to take her to the rooftop of the Lindsay Building to a room where students weren't allowed.
U.S. & World
"Looking out over the academic quad, the view was beautiful, I felt lucky to be up there," she said.
Minutes later she says Labrie took her back inside to a dark, industrial type room, started kissing her and then got aggressive.
"I was thinking, ouch, I am in pain, but I couldn't think of anything else, I was frozen," she said.
She goes into graphic detail of the sexual encounter, saying Labrie forced her to have sex even after she tried several times to stop him.
"I said, 'no, no, no, keep it up here,'" the alleged victim said. "I thought he would respect me, and he laughed, and said, 'you are tease.'"
The teen says she then just stared at the ceiling trying to convince herself it would be over soon.
In emails with Labrie after the alleged attack, he called her an "angel" and she called him a "good man." She wrote the term "haha" several times, but told the jury the truth is, she wasn't laughing, she was terrified, but didn't want to admit it, and didn't want to offend him. By the end of the night, she was convinced it was her own fault.
"I should have done more to stop it," she said. "I didn't kick or scream or push, I said 'no,' I said 'no' three times."
The alleged victim, who suffers from anxiety and depression, went to the school nurse for her daily medication that same weekend, and asked the nurse for the contraceptive called, "Plan B." When the nurse asked if the sex she had was consensual, the alleged victim said, "yes." When the prosecution asked why she would say that, the young girl admitted it was easier to say the sex was consensual, than to have to stand up against it. Eventually, the teen called her mom who came to campus and took her to Concord Hospital for a rape kit.
After that, the St. Paul's student went home for the summer.
In cross examination, Defense Attorney J. W. Carney, cited a police transcript that shows the alleged victim's friend told detectives about a conversation in which the alleged victim said she was willing to engage in different sexual acts with Labrie before leaving for the senior salute.
"No, I honestly have no recollection of saying those things," the alleged victim told Carney.
In an interview outside court Wednesday afternoon, Carney says his plan going forward in cross examination is to question the credibility of the alleged victim.
He also said Labrie will testify in his own defense.

What is Scented Geranium Poisoning?
Scented geranium poisoning in cats is caused by direct ingestion of any portion of the scented geranium, including the stem, leaves, flowers, and roots. The scented geranium's toxic principles are essential oils that can cause great gastrointestinal upset to the feline. Common symptoms for felines to develop after ingesting the scented plant include; anorexia, depression, diarrhea and vomiting. A large quantity ingestion of this plant has also been reported to cause hypothermia, muscle weakness and ataxia.
The scented geranium is a member if the Geranilea family and is known throughout the world by its scientific name, Pelargonium sp. The scented geranium has also been commonly called "geranium" and can be identified by its tall stems that end with a cluster of brightly colored flowers, paired with small green leaves. As the name implies, the scented geranium plant has many scents including; rose, peppermint, lime, lemon, coconut, apricot, apple, and many others. People commonly used the scented geranium to flavor their tea, jam, and sugar for consumption. Scented geranium is also a common ingredient in dried potpourris and aromatherapy.
Symptoms of Scented Geranium Poisoning in Cats
The symptom primarily associated with scented geranium poisoning in cats is generally gastrointestinal upset, but the severity of symptoms depends greatly on the amount of vegetation consumed. Most felines will vomit or develop diarrhea as their bodies respond to the toxic oil component of this plant. However, if the feline ingested a large amount of the scented geranium, then the feline could proceed to develop hypothermia, muscle weakness, and ataxia.
Causes of Scented Geranium Poisoning in Cats
Scented geranium poisoning in cats is caused by the ingestion of any portion of the scented plant. The leaves, stem, roots, and especially the flower of the scented geranium contain essential oils, linaool and geranoil, which are toxic to felines, as well as other domestic animals like horses and dogs. The plant's essential oils are not well tolerated by the stomach and nausea usually sets in before the feline can eat a large quantity of vegetation. Unfortunately, due to the small size of most felines, even a small amount of scented geranium is considered dangerous.
Diagnosis of Scented Geranium Poisoning in Cats
Diagnosing a scented geranium poisoning in cats may be based on ruling out other possible causes of your feline's condition that could cause similar symptoms. The diagnostic process will begin with a physical examination, a review of the feline's medical history and a consultation with the pet owner. Inform the veterinarian about your feline's recent actions and exposure to scented geranium, as this information will aid in ruling out other possible causes.
The veterinarian may conduct a series of diagnostic tests to ensure your cat is truly suffering from a scented geranium toxicity and not an underlying health condition. Diagnostic tests the veterinarian will request may include:
- CBC (complete blood cell count)
- Biochemical profile (blood work)
- Blood smear test
- Urinalysis (examination of urine)
- Fecal floatation test
- Fecal examination
Treatment of Scented Geranium Poisoning in Cats
Scented geranium poisoning in cats is treated by removing the plant from the feline to prevent further ingestion and eliminating the toxins from the cat's body. To eliminate the undigested toxin from the cat's stomach, an emetic drug will be administered to encourage the feline to vomit. Activated charcoal may also be administered by the veterinarian. Activated charcoal will bind with toxic agents in the digestive tract to prevent absorption. The feline's treatment may include intravenous fluids to restore his or her hydration.
Recovery of Scented Geranium Poisoning in Cats
The prognosis for a scented geranium poisoning in cats is guarded to good and depends greatly on the amount of plant material consumed. In most cases, if the feline is not allowed to consume any more of the plant material, the feline will recover in roughly 24 hours. As with all plant toxicity cases, the earlier the feline is admitted to the veterinary hospital, the greater chance she or he has of making a full recovery. The best way to prevent scented geranium poisoning in cats is to remove the plant from your cat's environment.
Scented Geranium Poisoning Questions and Advice from Veterinary Professionals
Has Symptoms
Medication Used
I bathed my cat yesterday. He's 9. Bath time is not usually an issue, however, I was not thinking and I put a conditioner on his fur. Today he's been vomiting and has bad diarrhea. The conditioner had geranium in it. Hes not drinking tons of water like he usually does either. I assume it's the geranium making him sick because I looked it up. Other ingredients were rosehips and aloe vera. He already has early kidney disease from an obstructed intestine 2 years ago. Thoughts?

I've been visiting and camping in the Black Hills of South Dakota since before I can remember. My parents would take us camping in a place called "Ice Box Canyon." It's where I learned to fish, where I fell in love with hiking, where I first truly experienced the great outdoors. And to this day the Black Hills remain one of my favorite places. I try to get out west river at a minimum a few times a year. For work to film a project, or for pleasure with my family, and most years a combination of both. I love that no matter how many times I return there is always something new to experience or something old to revisit and enjoy again. My latest trip was a camping excursion with my wife. We love hiking trails, driving scenic routes, trying local brews and food, and always finding a new location we've yet to see. We decided to revisit the beautiful Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway.We took in Bridal Veil and Roughlock Falls before seeking out the Spearfish Community Caves.Then a flight of beers at the Spearfish Brewing Company before ending the day with kayaking at Center Lake.
The following day called for a morning drive on Needles Highway and hiking Black Elk peak before avoiding the afternoon crowds at Sylvan Lake to kayak the less crowded Bismark Lake.
We took in some of the local wildlife and a ton of great views out and about the winding roads.
I look forward to returning soon… perhaps someday to stay. - Bryon

If you or someone you know needs help with summer meals, you can find the summer meals closest to you HERE. You can also text FOOD to 877-877.
School's out, and before children are rejoicing in the carefree days of summer. But for 1 in 3 children here in South Georgia, summer is far from a carefree time. Instead of enjoying fun childhood activities like pool parties, summer camps, and family trips, nearly 51,000 kids in our community will go hungry. For these children, no school means no lunch.
South Georgia has some of the highest rates of poverty and food insecurity in the nation, which means that many children live in homes that don't regularly have enough to eat. Because of this crisis, every school district in our area offers student school meals at completely no cost. Most students end up relying on these essential breakfast and lunchtime meals to provide them with the vital nutrition they need to learn and grow.
Now that the school year is coming to a close, these children will lose access to their most reliable source of food, facing higher risks of fatigue, detachment, and health problems. Kids can also fall behind in mental development when they don't eat enough nutritious meals, and once the new school year begins, many will have forgotten much of what they already learned.
But that's not all. For parents and caregivers who are struggling to make ends meet, the summer months can become an unbearable burden. Not only do these families have to secure and pay for childcare, they also have to find a way to replace the school meals their children receive during the rest of the year. In the summer, these kids and their families are at risk of going to bed every night with an empty stomach.
With schools closed, where can families turn for the help they need? Thankfully, Second Harvest of South Georgia has an answer. Through our Kids Café program, we work with community partners to provide children with nutritious food year-round, but especially during the summer months. We were able to serve over 700,000 meals and snacks to kids last year, and now we are growing our program by establishing 'KC on the Go', mobile feeding sites through our Kids Café program. Soon, we'll have the ability to bring nutritious food directly to the children who need it most. But in order to grow Kids Café and feed more children this summer, we need your support.
You can help us end summer hunger before it begins. Please consider making a gift to Second Harvest of South Georgia today. Your generosity will have a lasting impact on children and families throughout our 30-county service area. No child should spend the summer without enough to eat. Together, we can ensure that kids can enjoy the next few months like they should—playing outdoors, spending time with friends, and growing strong—instead of going hungry.

Psalm 27
The Earth is my source of joy and strength
Who can threaten me, rooted in Her?
The Earth is the source of my life;
Who can shake that bond?
When I know threat and assault
The Earth sustains me with solid love.
Though I feel beset on all sides with trouble and fear,
I find beauty and steadfastness and am comforted.
One thing I desire from the Earth,
One thing I continually seek:
That I can be alive to Her beauty and manifested love
As long as I live.
To be fully nurtured by the Earth,
To stand in the presence of Her beauty
Returns me to wholeness.
When I am afraid and begin to lose faith
The scent of Her soil and whisper of Her trees,
The silence of Her wild places,
Restores knowledge of my Life.
Out of my fear and trouble I can sing
Because the Earth endures and within Her
I can be confident of the goodness of my life.
I look at the beauty of the Earth and know Her face
And in Her face is my own.
While my mother and father, sons and daughters,
and all my human family shift and change;
The Earth is steadfast and holds all that I need in Her open hand.
I am glad to wait in the silent breath of the Earth.
She is courage and love
She, comfort and support.
The Earth is joy and my source of strength.
Thanks to Angela Magara, who wrote the glorious Earth Psalms, an Earth-based reclaiming of the King James translation of the Psalms.
Blessed be.

The moment you change the way you look at things…
… the things you are looking at change.
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer opened my mind. Have a look into the short footage.
It is as simple as that: "The moment you change the way you look at things, the things you are looking at change".
The point is to understand the "how to".
Everyone has his/her own way to make this change. We are all different, all our ways are different. We, therefore, need to understand if and how we are following the right path, doing the right thing. This is the beginning of a journey we can make together.
Do you read the instructions, the user manual, the leaflet of that new thing you just bought? If you do, here is something handy for you to read.
And if you are not that kind of person, never mind. We'll find the way for you too to dig out your "how to" as well.

If you doubted at all whether Hieronymus Bosch was a true prophet, recent neo-puritan liturgical innovations should put the question to rest:
[content warning]
In an early scene, a green-haired woman lies face down. She is naked, save a cloth covering her genitals. Five members of FFF, two women and three men, are hunched over her, applying lotion to every inch of her exposed flesh. Later, the group's cofounder, Tommy, propositions a random Canadian woman. And before you can say "Fuck for Forest," the "environmentalist" is taking her from behind as two topless women film him. A bald, elderly man looks on, masturbating in the background. And in another scene, a bald, bespectacled, obese man, clad in a black corset, orange tutu, and cravat, furiously pleasures himself on camera. He is, the narrator says, one of the most renowned opera singers in Germany.
Graceful decline doesn't really seem to be on the cards at this point.

I have discovered how amazingly helpful Pinterest is for writers! Seriously, I am more of a visual learner, so when it comes to describing people, places, and things, being able to LOOK at pictures helps me tremendously!!
No, I'm not infatuated with my "Befriending the Beast" story (okay, maybe I am a little stoked about it…) anyway, I thought you Pinterest lovers would like to see a little of the "behind the scenes" work of the story. Where I get my inspiration from. Because I like lovely pictures! Hop on over and check out "Befriending the Beast's" Pinterest board!

Ignore this Movable Type dynamic cache test
Testing a slight problem concern with posts and dynamic templates in Movable Type 3.16. They don't seem to be resetting the cache properly. Actually it's working to some extent, but it does take a while (close to an hour) for some of the pages to update; see below for more information.
There is something odd with cached dynamic pages in Movable Type 3.16, I'm not sure exactly what it is yet. When dynamic pages are created they are supposed to remain in the cache so they don't need to be created again. But when I view the pages after rebuilding (reposting/updating) a page it seems there is a delay (minutes?) before it rebuilds them. This isn't a problem (for me) if there is a delay (even if it's minutes) it's just hard to see what's going on with them. For my test it took just over an hour and I don't know why they finally changed (no pings, comments or attempted spamming in the logs).
I created this post at 6:47 pm and I later modified it (at 8:40 pm and also 8:55 and 9:15) and the changes are not showing up (immediately) on the category or date archives. I even tried changing the timestamp (to 9:18) but it didn't seem to speed anything up. Eventually they all changed (9:42, 9:47 and 10:07 were when the 9:15 changes propagated through; but that doesn't mean the other changes propagated around before then).
It didn't seem to make a difference when I did a new post (I did one 15 minutes ago and it still doesn't show up on the same date archive pages listed above). Still a delay before those changes propagate around. Last night when I noticed this I did delete the cache and templates_c directories, it didn't seem to help anything (other than everything rebuilding automatically the next request). This last update is posted around 10:40 pm…
So it's hard to test when pages rebuild. I'm not sure if it's with every new post or just with posts relevant to those pages being modified. Anyone know?!?
Another interesting (but unrelated) point with the cached dynamic pages is my pages (used to) say what your search terms were, like "It looks like you came here searching for Veronica Mars" but it wrote it to the cache so even when someone came to the page looking for something else or even by directly clicking it still reported that "fact". Very interesting. Now all my pages say at the bottom when it was created so if it's not the current time, I can see how long it's been cached. This is probably affecting my search results record keeping. But it should still give me a good idea of how people find my site.
Hmm… It just hit me that I do some PHP to make sure non-content related stuff doesn't go into the search engines (ads, comments and my sidebars) I bet that doesn't run live anymore (actually if a search engine grabs a page first it'll look all mucky for everyone else, I'll probably remove that code). This is not to cheat the search engines, it's to get them to get the data that this page was published for.

I invite you to make a positive wish, each week to combat a sucky part of life in an attempt to sprinkle the world with more positive pixie dust.
My wish this week is to give myself time and space to think happy thoughts. I'm a child of God; wife of one; mom of two; sister to three; and friend of many. Y'all, my life gets so loca that sometimes I feel like I'm constantly "doing" that I don't get a chance to just "reflect." Everyday this week, I'm penciling myself in some Happy Thought reflecting time. Five or ten minutes should do the trick to simply bask in all of the many blessings that I've received.
What's your wish for the week?

It's written by German Lutheran pastor Martin Niemöller: First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. The son of Soviet Jewish immigrants, Alec Hutson spent his early twenties in Northampton and Boston/Somerville. As a first generation American citizen growing up in liberal enclaves, the 2016 presidential election made Hutson realize how impressionable many Americans are, some of whom are his neighbors. "The increasing trend of fear mongering—racism, islamophobia, homophobia—and scapegoating that comes mandated from the highest levels of office are astounding, but what it truly points out to me is that we live in a time where that kind of rhetoric really strikes a chord with most Americans (or maybe they just choose to ignore it, but what's really the difference there?)" says Hutson. "In my own community I was floored by the number of immigrants who have chosen to live by 'these policies aren't hurting me, so why should I care?'" As a reaction to growing national apathy, Hutson, a soul/folk-rock musician, wrote a song called "Bully." He's accompanied it with a music video, composed entirely of found footage, historical public domain videos, and news clips. According to Hutson, the song is about wilful ignorance—a conscious decision to turn a blind eye to shared crises, much like Niemöller recalls in his poem. "The wolf referred to in the lyrics is the embodiment of fear, greed, and hatred that I feel is at the root of people's actions," Hutson says. "Bully" is Hutson's first protest song, a soulful blues tune recorded, produced, and mixed by Dephrase, featuring gospel-influenced vocals and growly saxophone. Although "Bully" is new territory for Hutson, the songwriting and collaborative process felt natural to him. "When I approached Dan (Dephrase) to work on 'Bully' with me, I had some idea what I was getting into," says Hutson. "But our collaboration took this piece to a completely different place than either of us were anticipating." The song also features rapper Fig, whom Hutson met after graduating from UMass Amherst. With a pedigree of music that centers on equality and injustice, and the familiarly of having recorded an EP together, Fig was Hutson's first pick for the part—even though he lives in Los Angeles. In fact, Fig wasn't the only one contributing to the track by email and phone. Hutson sent both of the guest artists—baritone saxophonist Greg Blair (an old bandmate of Hutson's) and bassist James Clark (a current bandmate of his)—the backing track and a few prompts. While the song was constructed in a piecemeal fashion, it feels unified—both instrumentally and in its ominous tone. As the chorus goes, "Brothers and sisters, throw up your arms / wolf's out back so raise the alarm / We're dropping like flies, so much to lose before daylight." Hutson's band, the Alec Hutson Trio, will be recording their next full length album this summer. To read more Sound of Boston song premieres, click here.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Dr. Bhola Roy is a board certified internist.
These days he spends hour after hour on his computer, ordered by Medicare to file all of his records electronically.
"Medicare is mandating to us, we have to use electronic health records," he said.
That mandate went horribly wrong, when in a lawsuit, Dr. Roy claims a local medical milling company lost thousands of his records.
"And it is all lost," he said.
The company, Medical Services Associates of Pittsburgh, offers complete medical billing services.
Internal MSA documents indicate "We experienced a significant problem with our computer system during a software maintenance function."
The document also states, "Internal back-up functions were not operating as reported."
And continued, "At MSA we are truly saddened by the fact we have disappointed clients."
Dr. Roy says more than 100 clients lost massive amounts of personal data.
"It is all in the cloud and if the cloud disappears someday, we are all in trouble," he said.
On the billing information that was lost, was patients' social security numbers, type of illness, as well as other information. The doctor's great fear is that because every doctor is ordered to put this information out there electronically by law, that all of the information is vulnerable.
"This is very, very scary," he said.
MSA continues doing business and did not wish to comment on the story, due to litigation.
Dr. Roy is asking for more than $100,000 in lost revenue.
"These people like Dr. Roy and other physicians say, 'I don't want to get involved with them anymore or any company like them,'" said Roy's attorney William Mitchell.
Dr. Roy must abide by the law and will have electronic health records, but worries about the security of those records.

After years of proudly saying, "I'm am not addicted to any TV shows," I must humbly admit that I am now hooked on a show. Yes, it's Mad Men.
Besides the great writing, always-developing characters, and nostalgia for the years I was in diapers, I'll admit to a warm feeling of schadenfreude watching ad agency execs make asses of themselves. Stupid Super Bowl ads in 2008 can trace their genealogy back to the ill-conceived, liquor-lubricated advertising guess-work of 1960 portrayed on Mad Men.
AMC TV is now running a "You Could Be On Mad Men" contest. The wonderful irony is that a television show about the origins of one-way, brute-force, mass-market advertising is using an up-to-date Web 2.0 forum to engage Mad Men fans in a community of obsession. Viewers have submitted videos of themselves doing one-minute monologues from six of the show's characters. With tons of creative videos and hundreds of comments on these entries, I suddenly have a window into what other fans are thinking about the show. These demonstrations of admiration from other "customers" beat any ads for the show that the crew at Sterling Cooper could ever come up with.
The entrants didn't stop at gender boundaries, with men portraying women and vice-versa. This is also ironic, since the show highlights the anachronism of office sexism so vividly. Here's a creative example of a woman playing the male lead, Don Draper and another of a man playing Don's wife Betty.

I've been waiting quite some time to finish off this photostory. I was sort of waiting for the right time and place to take these pictures. Prepare for something quite amazing because as unhappy as I am here, given some free time you can't avoid the awe-inspiring nature of this ship. So the right time and place was a night off St Thomas night. I took myself and my wide-angle lens to the top decks at sailaway and spent an hour capturing images for this final blog photostory.
Here's a great view of St Thomas. I haven't really explored
this Island as it is always the time we finally get to catch up on sleep, not
go out. But in the port itself there are hundreds of Iguana's just sleeping on
the rocks, which is very cool!
So starting at the front of the ship the view down is onto
the boardwalk. So this is deck 15 looking down on deck 6.
You'll see the sign for flowrider which is a wave riding activity on this deck at the back of the
ship. We did a team activity for this last night so here's a really awful
picture of me just to prove I did it but only once as I hated it.
The mini golf is right here so this is a cute picture of
Looking down at the side but then the winning shot is next!
Amazing right? You can see the ocean out the back.
So now walking forwards towards the front of the ship the
pool deck has gaps now looking down on central park, deck 8.
Again, just
incredible architecturally!
The pool areas contain designs by the artist Britto and make
for some bizarre photographs!
How about these colourful chairs!?
And then one more deck uplooking down on these chairs, this lens is great for just generally getting a
lot of information in one shot.
By now we've got quite far from St Thomas and the sun is
setting, what a magical time to be exploring and photographing…
Right to the front of the ship now and the solarium.
There is a helipad at the front of the ship. It's only
accessible to crew on Allure strangely on deck 6 and by this time it had got
too dark but it's not a picture I was after anyway.
Past the Solerium and back to the sailaway sunset view.
Then the view down the elevator shaft, different to the one
in photostory part one.
Now the sun has set so the same views but now with the
lighting. Beautiful, but not as breath taking as the daytime ones right?
Oh and I got distracted by this pool bar shot!
And finally, tired, I went down to deck 6 to get the long
exposure shot of the carousel that everyone keeps taking because I want one for
my collection!
So that is everything I want to photograph and share about
this ship. As for my trying to leave status, can you imagine being told that
something is going to get sorted, but doing a job that takes over your whole
life so you can't dwell on it in the usual way but instead it kind of churns in
the back. I think I'm actually going mad, I've never seem myself go so happy
and so sad so fast before. Jr is actually coming back at the end of next
cruise, which is bringing on the happy spurts, but as wonderful as that is I'm
actually worse with him here because I can hide behind him all the problems.
And most importantly he doesn't get to see the real me. I know how long I'm
prepared to wait now so let's see. Oh and the retail therapy continues… the iPad
is a beautiful thing!!

Posted by Mario
I've been lifting weight since I was 14 years old as a freshman in high school on the football team. The coached gathered everyone around and demonstrated the techniques. Then we broke into groups and started lifting weights on our own. That was my introduction to weight lifting and I haven't stopped.
But what was working for me in my 2o's and 30's stopped being effective as I got older. That's also when I started getting hurt. First it was my tricep, then my back, and then my shoulder. I'd take time off and get back to my old routine…until I re-injured myself.
Then 2 years ago, my wife Gail hired a personal trainer for power lifting. I noticed that the techniques and exercises she were doing were nothing like what I was doing. She was also making really good gains, getting fit, winning competitions, and was Wonder Woman strong!
I talked to Gail and she recommended I sign up for personal training. I had never had personal training and wasn't sure how it'd help me. But after taking some time to reflect, I knew deep down that I needed to change my routine.
I contacted the same company Gail went to, EXOS, and they recommended a trainer named Michelle. She asked me what my goals were and I told her I wanted to stop getting injured while lifting weights.
On my first day she had me run through a myriad of exercises to watch my form. She wanted to know my weak areas so she could design workouts tailored to my goals. I knew after the introductory session that Michelle was the right choice as my coach. She listened, was extremely knowledgeable, and seemed to really want to help me achieve my goals.
We started with the basics, lifting with little to no weights. Michelle let me know what I was doing wrong, which was pretty much everything! And that was exactly what I needed to hear. This became an ongoing joke as I told her I realized I had over 25 years of poor lifting technique and it would take time to break those habits.
Very slowly but surely I progressed to heavier weights and much harder workouts. Each time I exercised, Michelle was there to make sure I did it properly. She wouldn't let me move up in weight until I executed the form properly on every rep.
I was surprised at how much I didn't know, such as activating my core as I lifted. I learned to do the "World's Greatest Stretch" before every workout and still do it today. There were also new exercises, techniques, and equipment besides free weights. I also learned about recovery, which I never did before and how important it is for your body.
As I started to lift weights properly, I rediscovered how much I enjoyed it. I also updated my goal to gain 5 lbs. of muscle. With my new goal in mind Michelle recommended I go to the EXOS nutritionist to help fuel my upcoming workouts. With the nutritionist's food plan, I was able to achieve my goal!
Signing up for a personal trainer was exactly what I needed. The whole 18 month experience opened my eyes to how far the fitness industry has come & how far I needed to go. I'm glad I took my wife's advice (which every husband should do, of course). I can now lift weights confidently without getting hurt and take better care of my body post-workout. I may not have gotten as strong as a superhero, but that's ok. The real heroes are Michelle and EXOS as I couldn't have achieved my goals without their help.
If you're looking for personal training, please feel free to contact Michelle at email@example.com and let her know that I sent ya!

I want to start by thanking David Andersen, Dan Zimmerman, Todd Hunt, and David W. for holding down the fort while I was out west fishing and visiting TOPS and ESEE. I will be writing about the trip in the coming days, in the mean time check out our Instagram (@knifetruth) to see a sample of what I experienced (both fish and knives). Upon my return last night, I found a package from First Edge USA, containing their new HR-1 Fighting & Backup Knife. (and training-knife)
It is the brainchild of martial artist Ryan Hoover, who just happens to be a friend and training partner of the owner of the Krav Maga studio where I take classes – Terry Bullman (BullmansKnoxville.com). Both are 2nd Degree Krav Maga Black Belts, and with Terry's help, I will be testing the HR-1 as I learn from an expert the best way to deploy the knife in my own self-defense strategy.
The HR-1 is made from Elmax steel, same as the 5050 Survival Knife I reviewed, and the 5150 Field knife reviewed by David). It has a retention ring more typically found in a karambit, but instead of a hawkbill-blade, it is a tanto. Not only is a tanto blade regarded as a legitimate self-defense shape, it is more practical for EDC use than the former. Thus, I will put the HR-1 through our typical battery of tests as well.
I have carried the HR-1 all day today, and I have been practicing a left hand draw constantly. I have noticed that I am getting both smoother and faster already. The sheath has a fixed tab that ensures it stays put on your belt or IWB. The handle protrudes more than my Kim Breed when worn IWB, and is a touch irritating against my bare skin. I have a feeling that I will get used to this with time. Frankly, since there is no prohibition in Tennessee against wearing a fixed blade, there is no reason why I couldn't have it outside my shirt if it became a problem. I did find it more comfortable worn between my shorts and belt, and is just as concealable under an untucked t-shirt. Or I could add a bead-chain and wear it as a neck knife if I were so inclined.
As the video above shows, the knife is meant to compliment the deploying of a firearm. It is comfortable to hold alongside my Kimber 1911 or Glock 17 in this manner.
I look forward to testing this knife, not only for the novelty of testing such a defensive-oriented knife, but also because I will be learning a new set of skills from Terry. It will be interesting to integrate video footage of said training into my review.
Stay tuned folks. This one is going to be fun knife to review.
A reader pointed out that the picture of the actual knife and trainer at the top of the post is not visible to those who are looking at the "mobile" version on their phone. So here it is again for those who are doing so:

The documentary included an account of a poor Cambodian girl who was sold into sex work, prompting authorities to question those involved in making the report
(Adds comment from Russia Today channel; paragraphs 8,9)
By Prak Chan Thul
PHNOM PENH, Dec 7 (Reuters) - A Cambodian labour activist faces deportation home from Thailand over his role in making a sex-trafficking documentary that angered the southeast Asian nation's government, which dismissed it as fake, his wife said on Friday.
The ruling party of Prime Minister Hun Sen has launched a crackdown on those it says are critics of the government, including human rights advocates and opposition politicians.
Rath Rott Mony, 47, was arrested in Bangkok on Friday as he attempted to travel to the Netherlands with his family after helping produce the documentary for the Russia Today channel in October.
His wife, Long Kimheang, told Reuters from Bangkok she feared Thai police would send him back to Cambodia.
"Police arrested my husband and they told me that Cambodian police had sent them a document, saying he produced a false story," Long Kimheang said.
"I am worried when they deport my husband, he will be put in prison."
Thai immigration officials were not immediately available for comment.
In a statement, Russia Today said it was highly concerned about the detention.
"We...are doing everything we can to help resolve the situation, including via diplomatic channels," it said, adding that it never pays participants or interview subjects.
The documentary, titled "My Mother Sold Me", included an account of a poor Cambodian girl who was sold into sex work, prompting authorities to question those involved.
Authorities later said the mother and daughter were paid to lie in the documentary, according to Cambodian police.
Cambodian police spokesman Chhay Kim Khoeun confirmed that police had asked for Rath Rott Mony, president of the Cambodian Construction Workers Trade Union Federation (CCTUF), to be deported.
"The documentary is a made-up story that destroys Cambodia's culture and reputation," he said.

Having one office doesn't stop this Leeds wonder competing nationally.
Independent Walker Part I
Getting lumped together into a group can be a double-edged sword. Take Destiny's Child. Michelle will forever benefit from her pop stardom – but in many ways, she's just a part of the whole (and now a meme). Far better to have something extra – a Beyoncé-esque individuality – that adds to the fame you gained from your group. But you don't need to tell Walker Morris that. It's a recognised member of the 'big six' firms in Leeds – decent – but everything you read about the firm also points out its star quality: "We're the only firm that's single-site," beamed one trainee. "I always used to read about Walker Morris being a single-site office and not really understand what the benefit of that would be. Now I work here, it makes it so much more sociable and inclusive, so you're involved in anything that goes on within the firm."
Crucially though, just like the national, multi-site firms who constitute the rest of the 'big six,' the firm still has the ability to represent national and sometimes international clients. An impressive list of corporate clients now includes Chipotle, Asda, Kraft Heinz, Starbucks and Jet2. Chambers UK ranks it as a national leader in corporate, litigation, real estate and restructuring, while its work in the retail sector is also recognised as being extremely competitive UK-wide.
The firm didn't have a vintage year in 2016/17 – revenue dropped by 2% – but there has been more positive news of late: a new managing partner, Malcolm Simpson, took the reins in May 2018, and the firm has made the bold decision to move all 500 of its staff to a new office in the centre of Leeds in July 2019. Our insiders had already "seen the brochure for the new office and it looks really swanky." There's an outdoors area for events, and the firm will embrace an open-plan set-up which encourages hotdesking.
"You get to try all the different practice areas and meet everyone around the firm."
Many of the trainees we spoke to had been paralegals with the firm before jumping into the contract. For those taking that route, WM offers a travel bursary "for you to go abroad and do volunteer work in the gap before you start your TC. It's really cool that they invest effort and money into you before you've even started." The firm opts for a six-seat structure, which "from a trainee perspective is so valuable because you get to try all the different practice areas and meet everyone around the firm. I've not met a single person here who would want it any other way. The only difficulty is that you only find your feet after four months, by which point you get uprooted again. But the benefits outweigh the negatives." For their first-year seats, trainees "get what you're given," though they get to submit their preferences as they enter the second year. Second-years also get "first dibs on secondments." Trainees have previously spent time with Asda and other well-known companies.?
Giving it some welly
Real estate is the firm's largest department, and it's likely trainees will do a seat there. The team handles commercial property transactions, plus residential and commercial developments. Clients include Asda, HSBC, US law firms Gibson Dunn and Kirkland & Ellis, and other major high-street retailers. The team recently advised US designer label Tory Burch on its lease of a new flagship store on Regent Street, where the yearly rent is a sizeable £1.5 million per year. It also acted for research firm Pharmaron on its £20 million purchase and leaseback of facilities in Hertfordshire owned by US pharmaceutical giant Merck.
"You do licences, or low-level leases," explained a trainee. "That's our bread and butter. They tend to just give you your own files to run with. You will get a retail lease, or a licence for alteration, or a licence for access, and take it right through to the finish. You're responsible for drafting it, and then negotiating it." It's an impressive amount of client contact for a trainee: "Initially it can be quite scary, but there's always someone on hand! Even as a trainee, I did my own direct meetings with clients just to discuss where we're at with the deal and talk through some details." Overall trainees judged that "you have to get on your feet quite quickly, but that makes you feel like you've mastered something quite early on." Residential development matters also featured. "If the client identifies a site, I would visit it and literally walk around to see the surrounding land before we'd complete a big title report. The work feels much more casual when you're walking around a field with your boots on!"
"You provide the client with updates over the phone."
Most trainees had also sat in the real estate and banking litigation seat, "or REBL, as we affectionately call it." On the real estate side, the team recently defended the Secretary of State for Defence against a claim of possession on underground storage caverns used to store oil in the event of a national emergency. On the banking side there are clients such as the Yorkshire Building Society and the Co-operative Bank. The majority of our interviewees were exposed to both aspects. "I was doing a lot of commercial landlord work, but also worked on repossession matters for banks. I drafted general applications to court and letters before action." One trainee added that "because it's litigation, a lot of the work is case management, so you provide the client with updates over the phone, and make sure everything is progressing with the court applications." Trainees also visited court, and undertook some sleuth-like research: "I went through CCTV footage, trying to work out a timeline of events."
Over in banking and finance, the team advises on property and leveraged financings for a variety of banks and property companies including Santander, Yorkshire Bank and Strata Homes. A recent highlight saw the team advise Evans Property Management on its £240 million investment facilities provided by banks including RBS and Barclay, which will go towards hotel developments. Rubbing shoulders with the corporate division, the team also acted for publicly listed Proactis Group, an IT services provider, on its £45 million loan from HSBC to finance its takeover of Perfect Commerce, an American company. "We draft a lot of loan agreements," one insider recalled, but there's also "lots of client contact – you couldn't really avoid it if you tried!" Rookies are also involved in "quite a bit of corporate support, doing due diligence when a deal comes through." That involves "looking through thousands of documents, so it can be quite intense at times. There's a lot of famine and feast in this seat."
Good, letter, best
Juniors in the commercial litigation team will come across a variety of clients including Persimmon Homes, Capita, Caterpillar Group and Li & Fung Europe, a global supply chain manager. One particular highlight saw the team advise Jet2.com on its judgment against the lead singer of The View (Scottish, sang Same Jeans – remember?) after he was booted off a flight for disruptive behaviour, delaying take-off. The firm also represented diesel engine manufacturer Perkins Engines in a €2.5 million dispute with its former Spanish distributor over payments owed. "There's such a variety of disputes and the clients are so wide-ranging." Rookies had "come across clients in the fashion industry, construction, education and even a psychic company." Trainees found that "a lot of the work is behind-the-scenes strategy to try and outmanoeuvre the opponent and decide how heavy to come across with threats of litigation." This meant trainees "get to draft a lot of letters during pre-action. They're general letters setting out our position before it culminates in a letter before action – it's quite a skill really!" Other trainee tasks include "meeting witnesses and reviewing thousands of documents to decide whether anything is relevant. You need to make sure you're paying attention all the time!"
"I worked on a claim for unfair dismissal and racial discrimination."
Trainees who experience a corporate seat may encounter private equity, M&A, or equity capital markets work. The team has sector specialisms in retail, healthcare and financial services, and recently advised cloud-based solutions provider Data Intensity, along with its American private equity owner, on Data Intensity's sale to EQT, a private equity fund manager. "I did a lot of work managing data rooms," recalled a trainee. "I'd also manage due diligence reports. Drafting them involved input from lots of different areas of the business, so I'd collate all of that and put it all into one presentable PowerPoint."
The firm's employment team meanwhile, is one of the very best in Yorkshire, as confirmed by its top Chambers UK ranking. "I worked on a claim for unfair dismissal and racial discrimination, which I was lucky to see from the beginning to the very end. I did lots of pre-action correspondence, listened in to conference calls with the client about tactics, drafted witness statements and particulars of claim, then I attended a preliminary hearing at the employment tribunal." Regular clients include Crystal Palace FC, Moss Bros, and Asda, which the firm recently helped during its acquisition of a number of stores from the Co-op.
Trainees who opted for a client secondment provided endless praise: "I loved it, you're sat right in the middle of the client's legal team and there's a real buzz. It's a complete change of environment, and it's so good to see the client's point of view. It gives you a better understanding of the bigger picture." Secondees handled "a variety of commercial contracts, some IP related stuff and even finance – just everything really." One source believed that a client HQ "is the place you learn the most as a lawyer. You get to see that your legal advice is only good if a commercial angle is taken into account, in accordance with their goals."
Walking on sunshine
Picking up on the cosy atmosphere that stems from the single-site office, one trainee added that "you can walk into any partner's office and talk about Love Island. It's just so laid back – the chances are they'll know exactly what you're talking about!" WM is also hot on training up its youngsters: "They organise a lot. We have a lot of commercial litigation training and barristers come in to give us talks. We've also recently signed up to a big pool of webinars online that we can watch in our different seats." All this learning does gives way to some earning – newbies in the REBL department reported occasional 9pm finishes, "but that's only because of bundling nightmares a week before trial." Real estate lawyers start earlier, often arriving before 8am: "Some partners come in at 6am which is ridiculous." Hours were deemed pretty stable overall, and an 8.30am to 6.30pm shift was very regular.
Sources were happy to report that "everyone's sound. All the trainees are really nice – there are no big egos or anything." A programme of trainee socials, sporting events and brunches makes the most of this. "It helps that there are nearly 30 trainees in the same office, because when the firm isn't putting on official events, there's the West Riding pub right next door where you can guarantee a few of us will be on a Friday night." Department-led events also include Christmas parties and 'fridge Fridays' which dish out beer and wine at 4.30pm. "All the trainees will stand around and have a bit of a catch-up."
The process of qualification is "fairly straightforward. The firm sends a jobs list out around March time, and you're invited to apply for as many as you want by replying to HR over email." Trainees are then invited to interview with partners: "It's very department-dependent. Some will have a formal interview, others will just say, 'You've got it.'" Retention rates have been high of late – the firm kept all its qualifiers last year. In 2018 the firm kept 13 of 19 qualifiers. A source said: "The firm can create extra jobs so everyone's sorted, but this year because of how many people were going for the same roles, they couldn't accommodate some."
"Every time there's a vac scheme on we do a social – there's a good six or eight a year. The best one is always the summer BBQ, where they invite current trainees, NQs and future trainees."

How to get a Walker Morris training contract
Vac scheme deadline:?31 December 2018 (opens 1 October 2018)
Training contract deadline:?31 July 2019 (opens 1 October 2018)
The application form
Around 650 applicants in total apply to Walker Morris through the vacation scheme and direct training contract routes. Both avenues kick off with an online application form where candidates are asked to describe their proudest achievement. Be warned though:?"Your individuality needs to be reflected on your form. We quite often read that a candidate's greatest achievements are gaining a place at university or passing your driving test, so think a bit differently – why are you unique? What will make you stand out against the rest?"?HR and graduate recruitment advisor Heather Bradburn explains: "In the past, we've heard from people who've travelled around Europe with only a small amount of money in their pocket, or by staying solely in monasteries and cooking and cleaning in return for food and shelter."
The vac scheme route
Around 100 vac scheme applicants are invited to attend a half-day assessment with the firm. This involves a group exercise on a non-law topic. Throughout the assessment the firm is "looking for teamwork, communication and presentation skills and some commercial awareness,"?outlines Bradburn.
Walker Morris offers three one-week vac schemes in April and June with up to 16 places available on each. As well as tackling various trainee-level tasks within their assigned department, vac schemers attend social events, presentations about firm life and also complete two assessments, the contents of which are kept tightly under wraps. Depending on a candidate's performance throughout the week, offers are either made directly or after candidates attend a further interview with graduate recruitment partner Duncan Lole.
Bradburn advises that in order for participants to get the most out of the scheme they should?"be themselves during the week. We're looking to recruit them as a person, not the person they think we want to see, so candidates should enjoy the experience and use the time to observe what we're like."
Direct applications
Direct training contract applicants who successfully leap the application form hurdle are also invited for a half-day assessment centre. This is largely similar in format to the vac scheme assessment, although the group task is usually longer and more detailed and the number of attendees varies depending on how many training contract positions are filled by vac schemers.
Candidates who are successful at this stage progress to an interview with two partners to discuss their CV, experiences and interests. Bradburn tells us:?"Although it's a formal interview, we're trying to get to know you as a person and observe how you interact with others, so the tone often ends up quite chatty and relaxed, although you are still asked some challenging questions!"
What they're looking for
Work experience is given considerable weight although Bradburn acknowledges that?"it can be quite hard to get legal work experience and we do appreciate that. We ask candidates without legal experience to illustrate how they would apply transferable skills at a law firm. For example, someone who's worked as a waiter might have developed their client interaction skills."
The firm is open to recruiting trainees from its paralegal pool and welcomes those changing careers –"we've taken on army veterans, events managers and even an ex-rugby player"– but it's also not averse to those who've come straight through from university.?"We take on a real mix of personalities with different skills and previous experiences," concludes Bradburn.

PBS Nova: "Inside the Megastorm" on Hurricane Sandy
PBS Nova aired a one-hour documentary about Superstorm Sandy, called "Inside the Megastorm". The link is here.
The documentary tracked the sudden formation of the Caribbean low Oct. 22 that would become Sandy, and by Oct 24 or so, the alarms were raised.
Sandy became a monster because of high pressure around Greenland blocking a normal path, and another low associated with a dipping Jetstream bringing down a strong cold front. The setup was a little bit like "The Perfect Storm" in late October 1991, as in Sebastian Junger's book and 2000 movie, and leading to the Halloween Blizzard in Minnesota.
The film explains how a warmer world means a wavy jetstream, which can mean fewer hurricanes but stronger ones when they come, and more likely to occur out of season. It also explains that warmer oceans mean higher seas.
The documentary traced the advance of the storm toward New York, and the destruction of Breezy Point in Queens. It also explained how the power in lower Manhattan went out for at least four days because salt water shorted out cables on the West side near a ConEd plant (I thought that happened on the East Side).
As a whole, much of New York City, especially Brooklyn, Queens, Richmond, and the lower part of Manhattan, is a very low elevation, and lower than comparable areas in many other mid-Atlantic cities like Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Richmond, which straddle the Fall Line. When you are in NYC and walking the streets you really don't notice this. I live at about 330 feet elevation. I snows more here in winter than it does at river level three miles away. Can I be complacent? Not against a mega-tsunami from the Canary Islands Cumbre-Vieja volcano if it goes and slides into the ocean in an earthquake.
The documentary presented one drowning on Staten Island.
I visited the New Jersey coast, Staten Island, and southern Long Island areas in March 2013.
