About Me
Welcome to my Web page. I'm happy to have this chance to introduce myself to you and tell you about my practice. I feel lucky to work at Kaiser Permanente with my great colleagues and wonderful members, and look forward to working with you to care for your health.
I was born in Oregon and spent most of my youth there. I went to college at UC Berkeley and attended medical school at UC San Diego. I have lived in San Diego since 1984. I completed a residency in internal medicine at Mercy Hospital and Medical Center. I love living in San Diego for the countless outdoor activities it offers.
About my practice
I feel that healthy living—with a focus on exercise and avoiding tobacco—and preventive care, are the best ways to stay healthy. I want to be your partner in health, and it helps me better care for you when you are actively involved in your care.
How I thrive
My hobbies outside of medicine include rock climbing and cooking—and, of course, the eating that follows the cooking!

Hi, I am trying to fix my computer and I have run into a problem. I cannot write while booting dos off a floppy. While flashing the bios, I got this image:
(This is a picture I took of the screen)
If anyone could tell me what this image means, I would really appreciate it!
I suppose the first question that should be asked is why you are flashing the BIOS at all. A BIOS flash is serious business and should only be done when the updated BIOS was specifically designed to resolve a problem you are having. Otherwise you are simply taking unnecessary risks.
If a BIOS flash is really necessary you must be certain that it was designed for you hardware or it is almost certain to fail.
In addition, I suspect you may be using a USB keyboard (which may or may not be supported in your BIOS---you'll have to check) and the drivers are being loaded by XP. Since you're not getting to Windows when booting from a floppy, I'd guess your drivers are not being loaded. If that's the case, either use an AT or PS/2 keyboard when booting this way.
Additionally, I'd agree with LMiller7. Only update the BIOS if it is to resolve a specific issue with your machine...

Transfer capacities
RTE is responsible for the operating safety of the power system. As the European national power networks are interconnected, this responsibility is exercised in relation with its European counterparts. The operating safety of the system is mainly based on the capacity of immediately compensating for any outage arising on a generation or transmission facility.
In view of the geographical situation within the European network, RTE is called upon to a considerable extent by the players of the market to set up exports or imports between France and the interconnected neighbouring countries. Demand has increased and this has resulted in the growth of cross-border exchanges while, at the same time, the environmental regulations make it more difficult to build new transmission facilities.
This situation tends to create congestion phenomena, sometimes leading RTE to limit electricity transfers on some interconnections, whereas the play of the market may result in exchange volumes that are higher than the transmission capacity available. To cope with these difficult situations, RTE can either limit the access to the network or adapt the generation programmes so as to provide additional capacity whenever possible. In this case, the customers who have access to the network may bear an extra congestion price which serve to compensate for the costs of these adaptation of schedules.
Considering the fact that the physical characteristics of the network limit the interconnection capacity, RTE has set up conditions for the allocation of this capacity to meet the requests in a transparent and non-discriminatory way. These conditions and updates are described in the part To contract Interconnection access > Introduction to Interconnections.
By clicking on the arrows of the map, you can access the specific data concerning each border.

Ferrari junior Schumacher set to work with Todt
Newly-confirmed Ferrari Formula 1 junior Mick Schumacher is set to be guided by the management company of Nicolas Todt this season.
Schumacher, the son of seven-time F1 world champion and Ferrari legend Michael, steps up to Formula 2 this year with Prema Racing.
The 2018 European Formula 3 champion was named a member of the Ferrari Driver Academy last weekend.
It is understood that Mick will join All Road Management, the company founded by Nicolas Todt – whose father Jean was team boss at Ferrari when Michael Schumacher drove for the Maranello outfit.
The All Road Management stable includes 2019 Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc, who has worked with Todt since he was in karting and won the F2 title with Prema in 2017.
Todt also has successful team ownership experience, having helped form the ART operation with Frederic Vasseur before selling his stake in the French junior racing team to its other shareholders at the end of last year.
Working with Todt, who has always been close to Schumacher, would add further structure for the 19-year-old as he bids to make it to F1.
It could help his chances of negotiating his F1 test debut in 2019 as well.
Schumacher's new FDA role could facilitate time with Ferrari or one of its customers, Haas and Sauber – something Leclerc was able to achieve with all three teams.
Last weekend, while competing in the Race of Champions in Mexico, Schumacher told Motorsport.tv: "I'm hugely proud to be able to work with Ferrari, such a great team and huge amount of history, especially combined with my dad. All our hearts are very red."

The rantings of a Public Defender constantly fighting against society's pervasive Police Industrial Complex. Enjoy the unique perspective of one whose life's work is to fight the system through the system.
Tuesday, August 04, 2009
Wow, what a long time
I am very burned out with being a deputy public defender. I used to enjoy the job, but now I don't. Suffice to say that I am an employee, and an employee who has been taught to fear for his job. Very sad that it has come to this.
There was a time when I didn't care. But now I have kids to support. A mortgage to pay. I have to conform to what the bosses want. I have come to realize that I must do exactly what they say, or I will be fired. It isn't about protecting my clients. It is about satisfying my bosses.
I believe that this country, and the State of California, are at a very crucial stage. Our legal system is melting down. The current budget crisis is goign to get worse and worse because it is the natural result of a defective system. We require an informed and motivated citizenry to make our democracy work. But we are overwhelmed on the one hand with ill-informed older people who "think" they understand what is going on, but really don't, and a swelling population of illegal aliens who have no say in the system. The poor are rapidly forgetting that that they have the power to vote, the illegals have no power to vote, and the old white guys who still have sway want something that is impossible to get - a rollback to the 1950s. we have a system that is beset with gridlock and preyed upon by those wealthy interests, such as banking and insurance industries, and the prison-industrial system, who can control our state government with a pittance of corrupt dollars. The disconnect is amazing.
Okay, enough whining, I guess. I still hate those old-style liberals who would constantly moan about things but would never actually try solve them. How about some predictions:
Predictions #1: The budget crisis will get worse. The only way to save our system is to honestly re-think how we do just about everything in Calfornia. Too long we have allowed ourselves to think "the little things don't matter." They do. WE CANNOT AFFORD THREE STRIKES - IT IS KILLING US. I was against Three Strikes before it was popular to be against it. I have railed against Three Strikes for moral reasons and for fairness reasons. Now we are actually closing schools to feed the beast. It's time to re-think crimes, sentencing, prisons, jails, mental health as it relates to crimes, the works. We cannot afford the system that we have, and destroying our future to keep people locked up is madness.
Prediction #2: The feds will not be able to get california to release inmates. In a way, it is a blessing. The anti-federal government attitude is going to harden the already bankrupt Republican Party in california, further alienating them from normal people. The 9th Circuit just ordered the release of 45,000 prisoners within 2 years. Count on the state to appeal, and the U.S. Supremes to REVERSE. It will be 5-4, but it will be reversed. And this is a good thing. Because then the State will be forced to solve this crisis.
Funny thing about crises - they often make the impossible possible. At some level too many people are actually worrying about services in California. Like Schools. Or libraries. Or electricity. Or garbage collection. Or health care. The costs of these things are set to spiral out of control in the next few years. We will have to fix these things. And in doing so, I think that it will make us stronger as a State.

courts building in Los Angeles(Clara Folz.)
Judges are committing ex partes(witnessed by many public defenders) and an innocent person is being destroyed for reasons that might involve Californias governor(he has the same lawfirm as the false accuser) Four judges have ruled in ways that adhere to no law or sense and they all were appointed by the Governor. One is Villagrossa's sister. She is completely corrupt and her clerk won't even file the defendant's motions. In desperation, the prosecutor is now trying to have the defendant declared "incompetent" though this is so obviously crazy that many Public Defenders are up in arms. This doesn't tell the whole tale but please look at this file and the minutes for th is case 8CA10541.
The juxtaposition of two things Public Defender Dude says is very telling of the schizophrenic thinking I see in many of those who support illegal aliens to the disadvantage of US citizens. First PD Dude expresses his concern for his own family"s basic needs "... I have kids to support. A mortgage to pay." But PD Dude doesn't seem to care about US citizens whose basic needs are negatively impacted by the very presence of illegal aliens in this country. Then PD Dude incredulously goes on to say, "... the illegals have no power to vote...." Under what political theory of a Democratic Representative Republic, the political system we live under in the US, do people illegally in the country become active participants in that system? PD Dude is part of that very small by loud portion of the body politic who believe that illegal aliens are here and because they are a major profit center for businesses, they should be treated not just as equal to US citizens, but as super citizens.
Instead of PD Dude's views of what we should do nationally and in California, it's about time we Democrats knocked off the warm and fuzzy crap and realized the most devastating blow to the American poor and working class has been the saturation of the manual labor sector by an illegal workforce large enough to populate a small country. And Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, "the employers caused them to come"…well, arrest them too. And Sure, Sure, "they just come because they want a better life for themselves and their family" …This is also the wish and desire of virtually every human being on planet Earth. (Hence the need and development of immigration law.) And of course, " But it's hard for poor Foreigners to immigrate legally" …Well of course it is. If it wasn't, the manual labor sector would become saturated very rapidly and cause tremendous amounts of competition for the domestic working class. Immigration Law is not "Mean" "Racist" or "Incompationate" …It is a necessity to control the ebb and flow of massive amounts of Humanity while insuring no one sector of labor becomes saturated, Or the domestic population overwhelmed.

This is a brief response to what Anonymous wrote, re: illegal aliens.
I was trying to point out, in as polite a way possible, that having a large portion of our population as illegals is bad for us politically. Illegals are unable to vote. They have little political and/or economic power. They depress wages for other workers. When they get stepped on by the police, or by employers, or by anyone for that matter, they can say little about it, for fear of being deported. This is bad for everyone.
Why should illegals do what ordinary citizens do, when they are only going to get stomped for it? I believe that a democratic society should be composed of OWNERS - period. Everyone - rich, poor, smart, dumb, short, tall, etc., so long as they are 18 and are a citizen, has the right to vote. Voter apathy kills our society.

A graffiti tagger suspected of defacing 26 subway cars in four boroughs has been busted — and police found 271 cans of spray paint in his Brooklyn apartment, police sources said Thursday.
Jordan McConeghy, 26, was arrested in front of his Bedford-Stuyvesant building Wednesday morning.
"He's addicted to trains and graffiti," a police source said. "He wanted the fame."
The Texas-born tagger is known by his tag, Clyde, or Clyde 86, as well as EHC, the acronym for the crew of taggers he runs with, Every Hood Crushed.
He was known to throw up tags of overseas graffiti artists who couldn't make it to the city and turned to McConeghy to get their name out there.
"It's very unusual," the source said. "They'd ask him for a favor and he's put up their tag, then put a sticker with his tag next to it."
Police got a search warrant after arresting McConeghy and found the cans of spray paint and two paint-splattered digital cameras he used to document his work, sources said. Two laptops and four hard drives were also seized from the apartment he shares with three women, sources said.
McConeghy was awaiting arraignment in Queens Thursday on charges of criminal mischief, He will likely go on to be charged in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx as part of his spree, which dates back about three years and caused an estimated $26,000 in damages, officials said.
In April 2015, he was arrested in Washington, D.C., in connection with multiple graffiti incidents involving Metro trains. A year before that, he agreed to pay nearly $7,000 in damages following a similar arrest.

We have another Martian oddity on our hands.
In this late 2013 image of the red planet, a field of dunes appear in V-shaped formation. Located on a large crater in an old Martian valley, the dunes number in the dozens.
"For dune fields, the spacing of individual dunes is a function of sand supply, wind speed, and topography," according to NASA.
The formations have been likened to migratory bird formations and even a popular sci-fi show.

Discoveries, Discovery, Kepler, Kepler mission, NASA, planets
The Kepler planet-hunting mission continues to rake in results.
Over 700 new planets have been discovered, Kepler researchers announced yesterday. A large majority of the planets – about 95 percent – are the size of Neptune, which is four times larger than Earth.
Kepler has been searching for planets outside of our Solar System for several years now. This discovery brings the total number of confirmed exoplanets to 1,700. That's amazing! And, there are still over 3,000 potential planets that have not yet been confirmed.
This infographic explains how scientists have detected exoplanets and the small portion of sky Kepler has focused its attention.

The sun released a "significant" solar flare Monday – a monster in fact, according to some media reports. The powerful blast of radiation doesn't seem to be headed our way, but if it were, NASA says not to worry. Earth's atmosphere protects us from being harmed by radiation. However, we might have some problems tweeting.
… when intense enough [solar flares] can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS and communications signals travel."
Not good. Here's more about Monday's flare:

Some believe a large enough flare could cause damage to the North American electrical grid, the effects of which could leave Western nations in the dark for months. But that's for another time.

This photo is amazing! I can't believe I didn't see it make the rounds last November.
Here we see the spacecraft MAVEN launch from Cape Canaveral, Fla., at the tail end of 2013. NASA researchers hope to learn a bit more about Mars' upper atmosphere, which disappeared millions of years ago. So far, everything is on track with MAVEN, which will begin orbiting the red planet in mid-September.
How far has the spacecraft traveled since this picture was taken? More than 137 million miles. Go, Maven!

Who doesn't love the Jovian moon Europa?
It has mystery, intrigue and so much possibility. One of Jupiter's largest moons, Europa has the potential to harbor life, according to researchers, who believe an ocean of water exists below the satellite's frigid surface. Most recently, there's been some evidence to support that claim.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured images of water vapor surrounding the northern region of the icy moon. Researchers are confident that the vapor is caused by erupting water plumes on Europa's surface.
Should further observations support the finding, this would make Europa the second moon in the solar system known to have water vapor plumes.
The first moon believed to have ejected water vapor is Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons.
The search for water is paramount to the search for life and scientists believe there are countless areas in our solar system and beyond that have H20. Here's a photo gallery of some of the places that are believed to have had or have water. Which is your fav?

It's been awhile since I posted anything about solar flares. (Though, it's also been awhile since I've written about anything in general … Hopefully the astronomy news hanging out in the dark tunnels of my email archive will soon see the light.) Anyway, here's a video of X-Class solar flares, a first for 2013.
The video was taken earlier this month when, within a 24-hour time period, the sun emitted three fairly large flares.

The prolix extended to centre winds that blew,
forming fusion intent to allocate
the emptiness, succumbed, that grew,
new reflections journeyed wherever
strangers, suspended, threw your memory,
and I can't breathe this stale air.
On dark mountains we walked paths lit
by moonlights lies and romantic twists.
Travelled softly, in quieter times,
to swim in shallow shores and let
the waters wash our naked sins away.
Idiots in love with the ticking hands of fate,
perpetual insignificance perpetually laced
through intensity and promise.
Scurrying to share the pieces of broken mirrors
that lacerate the tick tock leagues
we drew in mountain dew.
To feel alive, above the world,
we marched through tropical rains,
drenching our forms in warmer waters.
To feel more than the nine to five,
we grew into more than life expectancy,
feeling the sunrise form deformity.
Our return to that one rainy night,
between the darkness and steps of heaven,
the lives we laid bare beneath our cause,
became the shattered core of sunset.
And now I walk these paths alone,
observing your soul and promises, submerge
without love. The forgotten worlds
where your footprints came undone.
Could it have been any other way?

But concrete has an emissions problem. Its essential ingredient, cement, has a huge carbon footprint. Cement is the glue that makes concrete strong, but the process of making cement requires superheating calcium carbonate, or limestone, and releases massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Cement is responsible for 7% of global man-made greenhouse emissions, making it the world's second largest industrial source of carbon dioxide, according to the International Energy Agency . Data from the United States Geological Survey -- the scientific agency of the US government -- reveals that global cement production was responsible for about 4 billion pounds of CO2 emissions in 2017 alone.

The future of the Rothamsted gets laid down in stone
24th Apr 2014
BBSRC Chief Executive Jackie Hunter has laid the foundation stone for the Lawes Innovation Hub, which will form part of the multi-million pound investment into Rothamsted Research, as part of it's the Government's Agri-Technology Strategy to help drive economic growth. This investment from BBSRC, Lawes Agricultural Trust and Rothamsted Research will help develop the Rothamsted Research campus into a Centre for Research and Enterprise.
The Rothamsted Centre for Research and Enterprise joins a growing family of BBSRC-supported UK Research and Innovation campuses, which include the Babraham Research Campus and Norwich Research Park and all benefit from long-term BBSRC strategic support. BBSRC investment in UK research and innovation campuses aims to create an environment where unique facilities and world-leading science can be accessed by private enterprise. The campuses make a key contribution to the UK innovation ecosystem, generating important impacts like new products, services and jobs.
Professor Jackie Hunter, BBSRC Chief Executive, said: "This is a major step change for Rothamsted and I am thrilled to be able to lay the foundation stone. We have invested in world-leading research, facilities and industry engagement at Rothamsted for many years but the development of a UK Research and Innovation Campus is expected to attract new companies and ideas and to spark the creation of new products and jobs". She added "the opportunity for companies to locate here and access the unique research facilities of Rothamsted Research is what sets this centre apart."
BBSRC, the UK's main funding agency for research in the biosciences and the largest single public funder of agriculture and food-related research, will invest up to £8.2M towards the delivery of the shared resources hub at Rothamsted that will enable multidisciplinary interactions between industrial and academic scientists. In addition to this, up to £2.7M will also help to deliver a new Rothamsted communications and conference centre. Support will also be provided by the Lawes Agricultural Trust and other sources to provide a total proposed project investment of up to £25M in the first instance. In addition to global and national impact, the development will also seek to generate new investment to the local community as well as provide state-of-the-art conferencing facilities for local business and enterprise to use.
Sir John Beddington, Chair of the Rothamsted Board of Directors said: "the new developments on the campus offer a splendid opportunity for extending the influence of the superb research at Rothamsted to the wider community. It is a very exciting initiative."
Chris Dunkley, Enterprise Projects Director added: "the internationally renowned Rothamsted Research provides a focal point for collaborative research and knowledge exchange activities in global agricultural technology. These facilities will ensure academia and industry can work together to deliver the best results for the UK."
Additional investment for the site comes from the Lawes Agricultural Trust and Rothamsted Research. In addition to global and national impact, the development will also seek to generate new investment to the local community as well as provide state-of-the-art conferencing facilities for local business and enterprise to use.
The buildings are expected to open mid-way through 2015. A live video feed of the construction site is available at iris2.time-lapse-systems.com/rothamsted-cam-1.

I thought so too and I recall he was not having much fun with it either. @Zinzan, come back!I'm sure I saw a post from him saying hew was tied up for a "few days".
Haven't heard from @Zinzan for 4 days.
I hope he's on a sunny beach somewhere sipping drinks with umbrellas in them and not a communication error.

10 New Faces in Waikato Mitre 10 Cup Squad
10th Aug 2016
A 30-man Waikato squad, featuring 10 players in their first season with the province, has been named ahead of the upcoming 2016 Mitre 10 Cup season.
Among the new faces are four players with plenty of first class experience - Hurricanes midfield back Willis Halaholo, former North Harbour and Blues Development Number 8 Jordan Manihera, former Canterbury and Crusaders utility back Nathaniel Apa, and Samoan international halfback Pele Cowley.
Seven of them have made their Waikato debuts during pre season Ranfurly Shield fixtures with Manihera, Halaholo and Fifita the only three in the squad who remain uncapped.
Waikato will also welcome back their 10 Super Rugby players - Hurricanes Loni Uhila and Willis Halaholo, Chiefs Atu Moli, James Tucker, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Stephen Donald, Damian McKenzie, Anton Lienert-Brown and Shaun Stevenson, and Jordan Trainor from the Blues. The availability of Kerr-Barlow and McKenzie will depend on their potential All Blacks commitments.
The return of halfback Isaac Boss and five eighth Sam Christie from playing stints in Europe will add experience to the backline, while up front prop Latu Talakai and lock Brian Alainu'uese are both welcome additions after missing the last two seasons.
Hooker Hame Faiva and loose forwards Adam Burn and Whetu Douglas are now seasoned players at Mitre 10 Cup level with several years of experience under their belts, while lock Jacob Skeen, loose forward Mitch Jacobson and halfback Harrison Levien have all impressed since breaking into the squad over the past two seasons.
Waikato head coach Sean Botherway is happy with the squad he has been able to name and the players and coaching staff have been ramping up preparations through an extended Ranfurly Shield pre-season.
"The squad is well balanced and heavier in experience than previous years. Our Super Rugby players have all had very good seasons and we look forward to them returning in the coming weeks," Botherway said.
"Ranfurly Shield rugby has given our early season work plenty of substance and excitement, and we are looking forward to the remainder of our pre-season as we build up to what will be a very competitive Mitre 10 Cup campaign."
Waikato's 2016 Mitre 10 Cup season kicks off in Blenheim against Tasman on Sunday August 21, after a Ranfurly Shield challenge this Saturday (August 6) against Wanganui and a pre-season hit out against Taranaki on Friday 12 August. The first home game of the Mitre 10 Cup is against North Harbour on Saturday 27 August.

Practice for all scholastic fall sports teams began on Aug. 1 with the Ohio High School Athletic Association setting up new parameters concerning inclement weather.
In the past, at the first sight of lightning an outdoor event had to be suspended. This year the rules are a bit more liberal. According to the OHSAA, "At night under certain atmosphere conditions, lightning flashes may be seen from distant storms. In these cases, it may be safe to continue an event if no thunder can be heard and the flashes are low on the horizon."
There is a slight alteration if both thunder and lightning rear their collective ugly heads over a high school stadium this autumn. The OHSAA written rule continued, "Otherwise if thunder is heard or lightning is seen, outdoor activities shall be suspended 30 minutes and all personnel, athletes and spectators shall evacuate to available safe structures or shelters."
The regulations that are related to head, heat and hydration have not altered from past seasons. In all cases, the student-athlete's best care is number one on the list.
"OHSAA has many resources and guidelines for schools to take precaution in extreme heat. OHSAA (also) reminds student-athletes and coaches to follow the proper medical regulations when there is any chance a concussion may have occurred."
The sports that began practice in full force last week were girls and boys golf, girls and boys tennis, girls volleyball, girls and boys soccer, girls field hockey and girls and boys cross country. Of course, the most followed athletic even in Northeast Ohio is football and there were many rules and regulations released by the OHSAA associated with that activity. Over 700 schools will field varsity football teams in the state and those schools will now need to adhere to an infant play clock regulation rule.
"National rule change this season for the 40 second or 25 second play clock will be used to determine delay of game, depending on the result of the previous play or the official signal," wrote the OHSAA in a press release. "Previously, the ball was marked ready for play when after it had been placed for a down the referee gave the ready for play signal and the 25 second count began."
A new playoff schedule has also been released by the OHSAA for the 2019 season. This change will split the regional rounds of the playoffs into two nights per week. The final computer points and playoff pairings will take place on Nov. 3. The following weekend, the regional quarter finals will commence with Divisions I, II, III and VI playing on Friday night and Divisions IV, V and VII starting their tournament on Saturday. The regional semifinals and finals will be battled over the ensuing two weekends with the same divisions playing on Friday and Saturday evening. The state semifinals will be staged over Thanksgiving weekend Nov. 29 and 30. Once again, the state championship games will be hosted by Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton from Dec. 5 through 7. All playoff games prior to the state title tilts will kick off at 7pm.
The first official Friday night of the high school football season will be on Aug. 30. Those exciting season openers will be preceded by scrimmage games that may be held between Aug. 9 and 24. The first time teams can scope out where it falls in the state computer rankings will be Sept. 24.
As per usual, all coaches both paid and voluntary must be certified by the Ohio Department of Education. Furthermore, all students must have passed a pre participation physical before stepping onto the gridiron. All football squads must still follow the five-day acclimatization period. During practices within that timeframe, players may wear helmets only on the first two days. Over this span, athletes may engage in conditioning, speed, agility and strength drills only. Those drills can also contain "dummies" for walk throughs. On days three and four, helmets and shoulder pads are finally allowed. From day five forward, full pads are allowed to be introduced. Full contact is not permitted prior to the sixth day of practice. If any student-athlete joins a team in the midst of full practice, that player must adhere to the strict five-day rule before full contact is permitted.
Coaches must also ensure there is adequate recovery time between practice sessions. There are two Sundays, August 4 and 11, which are considered "mandatory off days" by the OHSAA.
A new kickoff rule has also been administered in the freshmen ranks. All teams will start possessions at their own 35-yard line as kickoff returns have been abolished. That rule was already put in place for junior high school games a year ago. Kickoffs will only be permitted in junior varsity affairs if both coaches mutually agree to it. The ball will be spotted at the 50-yard line following a safety.

DASH now supports card printing without any 3rd party software. Please see the following help page for the optional card printing feature built into the DASH Console.
DASH supports both full player cards with picture and bar code or the smaller key-chain style cards that usually include only a bar code registered on the customer. DASH will load the customers profile when a player card is swiped or scanned and will track that they have entered the facility. Any suspensions, money issues, expired memberships and other important information will be displayed at the top of the customer profile when their card is scanned.
If you want to print player cards directly from DASH, please refer to set-up document below.
Card Types
Both magnetic (track 1 only) and bar code cards are supported for scanning customer cards.
Card Formats
The barcode for both card types must be formatted as follows:
CIDxxxxxxxx (where the X's are any length of numbers)
For Example: CID000232 or CID394993
If you print 100,000 cards, do so like the following:
CID1000000 through CID1100000
Please note that it started at 1 million and went to 1.1 million.
If using a magnetic stripe (as found on credit cards) the track should include a carriage return at the end of the number.
Swiping a customers card will track their facility usage and also pull up their customer profile in SAM for verification purposes.
Installation (ID Edge Use Only)
Note: recommended bar code format is Code 39.
Your installation will be performed by the idedge technical contact. Self installations are not supported.
Card printing integration is supported through Jolly Tech product ID Flow. The following versions are known to work:

The challenge this week is to create a birthday card using a butterfly or fairy. Remember you must have the butterfly or fairy on your card somewhere in order to play along. I'm always needing birthday cards and I just received these cute pixie stamps a couple of weeks ago so I immediately knew what I'd be using!
So whatcha think? Are you going to play along? You know you want to - I'm sure you've got a birthday to celebrate soon - I do, Abby's is Saturday. Yep, my little girl will be 6!! If anything you could make one to send to her. Nevermind...scratch that! You better make one and send it to Danni - I mean she's the master behind this whole FBW thing for which I'm grateful for! She's a heck of a girl - very nice, so supportive and wickedly talented. Gotta love her! Happy Birthday Danni and thanks for everything!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Since the 1960s, Vactor Manufacturing has combined expertise in pneumatics and high-pressure water technology to design and manufacture its patented vacuum loaders and combination sewer cleaners for the municipal public works and industrial markets. The truck-mounted Vactor brand sewer cleaning units are designed to remove obstructions from clogged lines, culverts and catch basins, while the Guzzler industrial loaders have found broad utility in cement plants, steel mills, refineries, chemical plants, and power generating stations.
"In these industrial applications, our customers could be dealing with fly ash, cement, sand, liquids or thick sludge," explained Product Manager Brett Hart. "You might think of these units as giant shop vacs, used when other equipment can't access a site. Operators can run the hose hundreds of feet to reach difficult locations and remove material."
Hart said that the debris hoppers on the hydro excavators and vacuum loaders have a dump mechanism that rises to a 50-degree angle for offloading, but often the contents resist emptying. "The vibrator allows the operator to flip a switch and break the surface tension, quickly evacuating the material," he continued. "It reduces offloading and clean-up time, and also helps avoid the temptation for personnel to intervene in an effort to extract the entire contents."
Although Vactor uses four different vibrator models for various applications in its vacuum loaders and hydro excavators, all are designed and built by Cougar Vibration. Each industrial truck gets a mounting plate, whether ordered with a vibrator or not, so a retrofit is an easy bolt-on installation.
Three of the Cougar models are heavy-duty electric units, such as the DC-3200, a powerful design that's well suited to dump trucks with a capacity of 10 to 15 yards, live-bottom tandem dump trucks that carry 15 to 30 yards, as well as large spreaders and vacuum trucks. It delivers 4,000 vibration cycles per minute (VPM) with 3,200 lbs. of force, while drawing just 85 amps from the 12V model and 62 amps from the 24V version.
The fourth model is hydraulic, for customers who prefer that option. The HA4-3300 is a variable-speed unit with adjustable eccentrics. Capable of 4,500 VPM with 3,278 lbs. of force, the motor is designed for minimal power consumption and low maintenance. Developed to create more force per size/weight, it's suitable for continuous duty or intermittent work.
Partnering In Cost Reduction
The two companies have a relationship that spans two decades, working together on solutions for new products or specific applications. "Cougar has earned its place as a valued partner to us," Hart said. "When we have material challenges, they review the details with us and make recommendations, sometimes giving us several models that we can test under field conditions. So our equipment is fitted with the best possible solution for a customer's specific application."
An example of that partnering concept came during recent cost-reduction efforts by Vactor officials. Because the company provides its own mounting base and some wiring for the vibrator installations, they contacted Cougar to ask if certain elements of the standard installation kit could be eliminated to trim expenses. Together, the two firms reviewed the bill of materials for all four vibrator models currently in use by Vactor, identifying any parts that weren't being used. By eliminating those components, Vactor maximizes its investment and saves an estimated $40 per unit.
"Over time, that savings is significant," Hart concluded. "The type of vendor/OEM relationship we've developed with Cougar is critical to delivering the best value and product to our customers," Hart added.

Humanity has Enough of World Conferences against "Racism"
April 23, 2009
April 20, 2009 should be remembered as a black day in UN history. At the opening day of the "Fourth World Conference against Racism" some 40 delegations left the meeting, protesting against outrageous statements by the Iranian President Ahmadi Nejad against Israel.
The UN and the international community could have avoided the public relations damage caused by this walkout by not organising for the fourth time an international conference on a subject that has fortunately lost its relevance for humanity.
It was normal for the UN to focus on racial discrimination in South Africa in the 1970-80`s and to devote two conferences to this issue. The third conference on racism, held in Durban in 2001, when South Africa had finally overcome its apartheid regime, was already superfluous. The Arab countries transformed it into a conference on Israeli occupation of Palestinian land and "Zionism", leading to a "clash" between the West and Arab States.
It was therefore next to certain that in 2009 the Iranian President would assume the role of the Arab States and hijack the conference for launching another of his famous tirades against Israel, the Jews and the West.
Humanity has more important concerns to deal with than "racism" that has largely ceased to exist as government backed discrimination or repression. After this debacle the UN should therefore end the series of international conferences held on the subject during the past three decades.
In any event, the EU, USA, Japan and other key contributors to the UN should announce that they will not endorse a fifth Word Conference against Racism.
The UN debacle has also badly hurt the EU image as a coherent foreign policy actor. It has been unable to agree on a common stand: the majority of members states attended, a minority of four countries (Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Poland) refused to do so. This is extremely regrettable and should have been avoided. The EU should have decided by majority vote on what was more a procedural than a substantive issue. It is shocking to see the Czech Presidency having lacked the authority to impose a common EU stand.

July 17, 2016: Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Catholic Social Teaching: Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers
Through work, we continually participate in upholding life in God's creation. By supporting a living wage and safe working conditions, economic justice aligns with the common good in respecting workers' dignity by providing the necessities of life.
"By his work and industriousness, man—who has a share in the divine art and wisdom—makes creation, the cosmos already ordered by the Father, more beautiful. He summons the social and community energies that increase the common good, above all to the benefit of those who are neediest…" Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, 266
From: https://cst74life.wordpress.com/
First Reading: Genesis 18:1-10a
Psalm: Psalm 15:2-3, 3-4, 5
Second Reading: Colossians 1:24-28
Gospel: Luke 10:38-42
Catechism of the Catholic Church
God put us in the world to know, to love, and to serve him, and so to come to paradise. Beatitude makes us "partakers of the divine nature" and of eternal life.21 With beatitude, man enters into the glory of Christ and into the joy of the Trinitarian life. (1721) From the Daily Roman Missal, Introduction to the Sixteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, Cycle C
***Footnote 21 is from 2nd Peter 1:4 Read that verse and the following verses through verse 11***
Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church:
Luke 10:40-42
In his preaching, Jesus teaches man not to be enslaved by work. Before all else, he must be concerned about his soul; gaining the whole world is not the purpose of his life (cf. Mk8:36). The treasures of the earth, in fact, are consumed, while those in heaven are imperishable. It is on these latter treasures that men and women must set their hearts (cf. Mt6:19-21). Work, then, should not be a source of anxiety (cf. Mt 6:25,31,34). When people are worried and upset about many things, they run the risk of neglecting the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (cf. Mt 6:33), which they truly need. Everything else, work included, will find its proper place, meaning and value only if it is oriented to this one thing that is necessary and that will never be taken away (cf. Lk 10:40-42). (260)

Absorption with work, the worries and anxieties, a predisposition to focus on the transitory, tactile essence of our lives separates us from faith. A wedge in our lives to prioritize work creates a chasm between our faith, when in actuality work should harmonize with faith. For we should see the connectivity of belief influencing, supporting and guiding our work as co-creators with God in our ever unfolding world. That perspective takes us away from idle busyness, meaningless mundane tasks, the incessant hurry to get things done, for we take time to hear the Lord speak. In the silence of prayer, the beauty of creation, the dialogue of small faith communities, the words of our journals all focus our lives on the Lord, to allow Him to be a part of all aspects of our lives, including work. We come to treasure not the figure of a paycheck, but how we walk our lives ever closer to the reign of God rooted in Divine justice with a deeper understanding of truth in our soul. We move away from wasting time slandering inequities to cleanse our mouths, minds and hearts for following the path of doing good, the positive, being light in the world to harm not humanity and creation or view neighbor as other. Money becomes not a leverage of injustice, a tool of usury to further distance people from one another, but of generosity where the necessities of all take precedent over the wants of a few. Work and ensuing riches vanish. But as Jesus told Martha, "There is only one thing," will we allow ourselves the freedom and grace of Jesus' invitation?
Individual Reflection: Colossians 1:24-28 and Psalm 15:2-3, 3-4, 5

San Rafael and Terra Linda added another chapter to one of the best rivalries in MCAL boys soccer on Wednesday. It was perhaps fitting that nothing was decided on this day, because things usually aren't settled between these two teams until playoff time.
Devon Breslin scored for San Rafael, Leo Maso equalized for TL and goalie Erik Portillo made a crucial save in the second half for the Bulldogs as the teams settled for a 1-1 tie.
"I love playing San Rafael but I also hate it because they mirror us in so many ways," TL coach Mike Crivello said. "But it's really fun when it's a high-level game and that's what today was."
San Rafael coach Johnny Vara played for Crivello at Terra Linda then was an assistant coach with him for many years before moving across town to San Rafael last season. The two coach together at College of Marin.
"It's just another TL-San Rafael battle, 'just another one in the books,' as Mike likes to say," Vara said. "It was a great game. It was calm, collected, we were actually able to knock the ball around. We were able to play the ball. It was a good soccer game."
Both teams found the back of the net in the first half but the game's biggest moment came in the 65th minute when TL (0-1-2, 0-0-2 MCAL) earned a corner kick. Andres Gramajo sent the ball into the box where Robert Simkins was able to put a shot on frame.
Simkins' shot forced Portillo to go up high and to his right, but he was able to get enough of a touch on the ball to push it over the crossbar and keep the game tied.
"With how good (Portillo) is, you have to be clinical with your finishes on goal or Erik's going to get it," Crivello said. "You saw that a few times in the second half. He is an unbelievable keeper and if there's a better one in the MCAL, I'd love to see it."
With danger averted, the Bulldogs (1-1-1, 1-0-1) were able to hold on as neither team was able to create a clear-cut goal-scoring opportunity the rest of the way.
"We deserved that tie," Portillo said. "We didn't play our greatest…I think a tie was good result even if it wasn't the result we wanted — or they wanted — probably, but I think we both deserved it."
The two teams will have at least one more opportunity to get the better of each other this season. They meet again in the regular season on Jan. 24 and could conceivably play twice in the postseason — once in the MCAL tournament and again in the North Coast Section Division III playoffs.
The Trojans and Bulldogs met in the MCAL semifinals in each of the past two years, with TL winning both. San Rafael won both regular-season games last year.
"We knew it was going to be a battle, that's just how it happens with San Rafael and Terra Linda," Crivello said. "I was pleasantly surprised by how we played, with not having a ton of turf time and how we started the season. I did not think we would be this far along."
The Trojans are yet to win a game, but have tied both of their league matches.
The Bulldogs struck first in the 18th minute when Diego Martinez struck a free kick toward Breslin inside TL's 18-yard box.
Breslin controlled the ball with his first touch and unleashed a shot on goal that proved too strong for TL goalie Aly Alvarado to keep out of the net.
"I saw the cross coming in and I knew if I got the first bounce of the ball and got a touch on it, I had space to turn around and hit it," Breslin said. "Once I got that touch in I knew it was just me and the ball and I just shot it."
TL scored the equalizer in the 30th minute, after Gramajo played a deep ball down the right side of the field for Ruthwik Challagonda to chase down. Challagonda beat his defender and sent the ball across goal to Leo Maso, who put the ball inside the far post to make it 1-1.
"That was straight tactical soccer, going down the line and cutting it back in and just hitting it," Vara said. "We were caught off guard by it but it was a great goal, a well-deserved goal."
