Loida (Vilma Santos), the working class, single mother of a college-age daughter, has a dream. She’s a bit player or “ekstra” on the cheesy, night-time soap operas of the Philippines, but she wants more. She wants a speaking part. She wants to break through. She wants to be a star.
So like everyone, more or less.
“The Bit Player” (“Ekstra” in the Philippines) is essentially a cinema-vérité-like day in the life of Loida. It begins at 2 a.m. with tea, breakfast, and a washcloth shower, and ends at 4 a.m. the next day with the stink of failure.
There’s an early morning round-up of the extras, who travel by van to the location shoot. A few are discharged en route: a young boy, for example, who’s supposed to be the younger version of the male lead in the soap (Piolo Pascual, playing himself), but who, according to the talent scout, doesn’t look enough like Piolo. Out he and his father go, onto the side of the road.
Loida, our sympathetic mother figure, whose daughter keeps texting with money demands from the university.
Venus (Rita Rosario G. Carlos), the brassy friend of, and quiet competition to, Loida.
Olga (Hazel Dela Cruz), the girl too pretty for peasant scenes. She’s too pretty for the name “Olga,” too.
Madonna (Antonette Garcia), who makes a buck on the side selling food and drinks to the other extras.
Eventually it all pays off. Late into the night and the early morning, a call goes up for an extra who can speak English reasonably well to play a lawyer. This one is no good, that one, eh ... but Loida? A shrug from the assistant director. She’ll do. The rehearsal goes well, or well enough for a night-time soap opera filming 24 hours from air time. The first take goes less well: Loida walks too far forward and blocks the star from the camera. She’s given a mark to hit but on the next take looks down to find it. The third take she messes up her lines. Finally the director loses it and she’s cast aside: back to the background. She’s not cut out for it. Maybe she never was.
For most of “Ekstra,” I was only vaguely interested in what was happening. A lot of work, a lot of arguments, a lot of ego, went into the creation of something that was not only valueless to the culture but detrimental. Product placement is the least of it; soap operas, like most movies, sell wish fulfillment. They sell the dream of wealth, beauty, and glamor. At the same time, they sell schadenfreude, as the wealthy, beautiful and glamorous feel the heartache implicit in soap opera storylines.
I also objected when Loida began to stumble during her big scene. It felt way too cruel to me. It felt sadistic and/or bathetic. But ultimately Santos has a restraint that makes it work. You sense Loida’s world has crumbled but she doesn’t know what to do. There’s doubt and pain in her eyes now.
Interestingly, Santos, who looks like the part she plays—someone passed over by life—is in reality a hugely successful actress and politician. She was the Mayor of Lipa City and the Governor of Batangas, a province in the Philippines. There are four major film awards in the Philippines and only 17 times has someone won all four in the same year. It’s called the Philippines Movie Grand Slam, and Santos was the first to do it in 1982. She’s since done it three more times. No one else in Philippines has done it more than twice. She’s basically the Meryl Streep and the Arnold Schwarzenegger of the Philippines.
“The Bit Player,” at 111 minutes, could’ve been 20 minutes shorter. We could’ve used fewer on-set shenanigans and more on Loida’s background. How did she get on this path that’s apparently so wrong for her? And what happens next? Forget a dream deferred—what happens to a dream dashed on the rocks? What do you do when you realize you’re no good at what you’ve struggled for your entire life? We never find out.
Soap operas may be about wish-fulfillment fantasy, but “The Bit Player” is about identification, and never more so than when Loida is surrounded by the stink of failure. Most of us know that smell. Well.

Sorrow and love are woven together beautifully in this moving story about a daughter's search for the truth about her mother's disappearance. Zetty's last memory of her mother, at a family gathering, leaves Zetty with a multitude of unanswered questions that plague her through her childhood and young adulthood until she finally decides to unwind the string of clues that have emerged between the fissures in her father's silence and from her surrogate mother, Scarlett, and best friend, Gabe, who are her support system and lifeline to the world.
Zetty finally discovers her mother has been institutionalized, and in spite of the warnings not to go forward with a search for her mother, Zetty persists. For her this means exploring her fears about mental illness and seeking out counselling. Her counselor and friend, Doctor Sperling, along with Gabe, who is Zetty's polar opposite, are key in helping Zetty find her missing parent. These two also help Zetty come to terms with her own strengths and help her face up to her doubts and uncertainties about life.
Zetty's mother, Marjorie, adds her own voice to this story in intermittent chapters that show her gradual decline. Marjorie's memories and thoughts are clouded by her illness, but no less filled with love and longing. Through Marjorie's telling, the reader is able to understand her disease and the reason for her institutionalization. The added perspective of Zetty's mother, helps us to better understand why Zetty's father is so protective and secretive about where Marjorie is and why he has not allowed Zetty to see her. The steady and patient love of caregivers play into the story as Zetty gets closer to a face to face meeting with her mother.
As in life, loss and adversity do not always confine themselves to single events. This story is no exception. Zetty faces other losses and must come to terms with why bad things happen. It is the vibrant writing of the author and strong voice of Zetty that make this book a "must read." The author, Debra Whiting Alexander, focusses more on elevated spirit than on the tragedies themselves. It is Zetty's outlook on life and the courage with which she negotiates the roadblocks that uplifts and inspires. In the end, Zetty's search is rewarded not only by her own self-discovery, but with a closure that emphasizes human strengths and not frailties. Highly recommended.

I recently attended a conference of civil litigators in Virginia. During the cocktail hour and after a very interactive CLE presentation on “Leveraging Data in Insurance Fraud Investigations”, I was talking with a few attendees about the different types of data available to them in their investigation and litigation of insurance fraud claims. Admittedly, I was taken aback when one of the attorneys mentioned to me the “Significant Locations” that are logged on iPhones and showed me the locations on his. This is probably because I have most (or all) location services turned off on my personal device, so I’d never given it much thought. However, the conversation brought up the question, are these artifacts available through forensic data extraction and analysis? And if so or if not, how do we access them? What value might they serve in both criminal and civil investigations?
The first step is to identify where and what “Significant Locations” are. The artifact is available to view on the device at Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services>Significant Locations (see below).
As we should all know by now, we need to obtain the passcode in some way (consent, court order, Gray Key, etc.) in order to facilitate data extraction in iOS 11 regardless, so while this may seem like an obstacle, it’s just another reason to obtain the passcode.
The final sentence that the Significant Locations are encrypted already gives us a clue about whether or not UFED will be able to parse this data, but more on that a little later.
Some interesting things of note about these particular locations: This device doesn’t travel much. The 13 locations logged in Henrico (Richmond/Midlothian), VA are related to the home location(s) of the device, which is already good information to have in the course of an investigation. The device visits Williamsburg, which is the reason for the listings for that location. All of the remaining locations are related to a trip from April, 2018 to and from Richmond, VA to Cincinnati, OH. The device stopped in Beaver, WV and Beckley, WV. Covington, KY is across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, where a dinner stop was made. A stop in Fishersville, VA was made to get gas on the way back from Cincinnati. Essentially, we have a road map of the trip to and from Cincinnati.
The highlighted .plist files were exported and opened in XCode on a Mac system. Each of these artifacts did not present any data that was readily identifiable as useful. Is it possible that these artifacts are encoded within the extraction data and could therefore be located? Sure, but for the purposes of this article, those measures were not undertaken. As these artifacts are behind a double security wall (main passcode, then re-entry of the passcode to access Significant Locations on the device), it is logical to conclude that they are not accessible through mobile forensic data extraction (i.e., encrypted).
To recap, we located the Significant Locations on the device and performed a data extraction and it appears that these locations are not part of any readable portion of that data. So how can we best incorporate this data into our investigations to add value? Unfortunately, the best answer is the “old fashioned way”. Access the device, navigate to “Significant Locations” and document each entry through photographs (NOT screen shots). Depending on the level of usage of the device, this can be tedious and time-consuming, but the value of the data cannot be overlooked.
In criminal cases, this data can help put the device in locations where the suspect may have been (or not have been) during the time of the incident. It can also help identify home locations and frequently visited locations, which can increase investigative leads, present additional accomplices, serve to impeach statements already made and more. Naturally, accessing the device is key. It bears noting that the “Significant Locations” data, combined with cellular provider call detail records could help paint a more thorough picture of the device location and/or movements than either one or the other alone.
In civil litigation, this data can be used in much the same way, but more likely to prove or disprove frequent locations, known associates (paramours, accomplices, etc.), and to help confirm or refute deposition or trial testimony. If your case involves insurance fraud and the claimant says that he cannot travel, this data helps refute that statement without the need to obtain cellular carrier records. But again, ideally we would couple this data with cellular location data to paint a more complete picture of the device usage patterns.
A couple of final notes about the existence of this data. First, it can be deleted. Note in the image above the option to “Clear History” is present and if the user selects this, the logging will be reset. It also appears (from checking a separate device with this logging turned on) that the data is stored for approximately 6 months. It is unknown whether or not the data would transfer from an older device to an upgraded device as further testing would need to be conducted. Finally, it is also unknown whether or not this data would be more readily accessible through mobile forensic data extraction on a jail-broken device.
This data is a proverbial gold mine, but it’s one we need to access in ways we generally don’t like to – by manipulating the device and accessing the UI. However, this is still a valid form of analysis and documentation, especially when the access limitations on iOS devices forces us to use tools and techniques other than those that are automated. As with most things in forensics, simply knowing where to look, how the data got there and how to best utilize the data to confirm or refute the other aspects of your case is (about) half the battle. We all know Google, Apple and the cellular carriers are tracking us. Let’s start using that data to help serve justice, no matter what we’re investigating!

Let’s recap a little. I got this pile of stuff last fall from some very good friends.
I showed you yesterday that I made a sign out of the foot board sign Always Kiss Me Goodnight.
Today, I’m showing you the sign I made out of the headboard.
I used my compound miter saw to cut the end pieces of on either end of the headboard.
You can see here where I cut it and that I painted it with primer.
After the primer dried I used my Paint Sprayer that I got at Harbor Freight to paint it black.
This is the polka dotted contact paper I used. I got it on clearance.
After laying it out, I decided it wasn’t going to work in three lines as I have it here.
I cut the phrases apart and made it four lines instead.
Notice that since I am using this as a stencil, I have peeled away the “positive” and left the negative.
I used my handy self centering tape measure…. LOVE IT!
Still trying to get it all laid out.
I used some Scotch Blue painters tape where the letters were really close to the edge so that I wouldn’t accidentally paint the board.
I used a stencil brush… for the first coat. I wasn’t really thrilled with how it was going.
So I switched to a sponge.
This is after I peeled away most of the stencil.
Here it is after the paint dried.
I decided to distress it a little. I think this would be great in a foyer or over a double doorway. Possibly even over a picture window? I would love to keep it, but so far I haven’t found a place to put it.
Hi, love the stencils and stenciling. Have you a stencilling machine or cutter that cuts the stencils and if so what type and where could I purchase one from. Many thanx, Davey.
Absolutely fabulous, Gail! Great headboard for a sign! You did a beautiful job!
I’m so grateful that you linked up in this week’s Creative Bloggers’ Party & Hop 🙂 This awesome post totally rocked the party!
what a beautiful way to give that new life!
Amen! That’s the message of Easter!
This is SO lovely! 🙂 Very nice job! I agree, it would look lovely over a double doorway! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Love this a lot! Didn’t know you can substitute inexpensive contact paper for the more pricey vinyl. Awesome sign for and awesome hymn!
Love it! that my favorite hymn. It looks beautiful!
What a great sign. I have to say I also love the sign you made from the footboard too.
Looks wonderful, another fab project!
So beautiful! I am very glad that I stopped by!
Love this sign – a total wow! I think I may need a Silhouette!
This sign looks amazing. What a super way to make use of a headboard.
I don’t remember your mentioning the self-centering tape measure before. It sounds like a must have.
Your sign looks great! Glad you survived the storm!
Love the sign! One of these days maybe you can show me your Silhouette machine. I am thinking I might need to start saving for one!
We survived the storms, but spent quite a bit of time in the basement. Our grill fell over and part of it broke, but so far that’s the worst of the damage.
Beautiful, inspirational, and so perfectly done! I love the way you repurposed the old headboard. Your stencil-work is so precise and perfect!
This is even better than the last. Great choice of words. Bravo!
That looks so good! The painted letters are so crisp, it’s like you used vinyl.
I’m glad you weathered the storm OK. We don’t get bad storms here often, but I’ll bet they’re really scary.
That looks great Gail! The Silhouette did a great job and made it so easy. I wish I could swing one but I will wait and see if they do anymore giveaways. Maybe I’ll get lucky.
I LOVE the fact that your silhouette machine can cut long pieces of vinyl..my cricut can only do up to 24″..but I still enjoy it…but it would be nice if it would cut longer pieces. oh well!
Glad you weathered the storm! LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! I’d love it above my door… I need to search for a headboard!
I can hear El Divo singing it right now… love, love, love that song. Another great idea Gail. Good thinking on the contact paper too… I have been using it for the transfer paper but it was a bit too sticky so I broke down and bought the real deal.
Have to run… have a great day.
that looks terrific.. love that song. And now its stuck in my head,, thanks,, lol. Have a good one.
Yes, Definately Amazing! I want one of tose SIlhouettes now!!!
Love it! It turned out amazing! If you can’t find a place for it, I’m sure you could find someone to buy it!
OH Gail its perfect! That has got to be my favorite song next to the National Anthem both hold so much meaning for me!
Ugh the storms… lets not even go there. construction halted until better weather prevails! maybe tomorrow?
Worry thou not! I have the perfect place for it! HAHA! I love that and I know you won’t have any trouble finding a place for it.
Those are gorgeous! I’m not handy at all, but get inspired to try something when I read your blog!!
I absolutely love this! I’m going to have to get a silhouette now!!! Great job, you’re so creative!
I love the sign you made. You are so creative. That would be a good sign to hang over your front door to let people know where you stand.
This is, well, AMAZING! Not surprised! I loved the footboard, now the headboard is just as cute! Such great ideas that you come up with!
Hope you were safe from any bad storms…the weather has been horrendous your way. Sort of makes me appreciate those 115+ degree days that I have to endure every the summer!
That is really beautiful! You did such a great job on it.
That is my favorite project of any you’ve done. Wish I had a place to use it. I’m sure it won’t be long before it finds a new home.
Amazing all right! I love that you used the headboard! The shape of that is beautiful! I have to get myself a silhouette one of these days!!!!

The AUTHOR BIO from the core book, “Connecting the Dots … with The RESPECT PRINCIPLE” currently in print production.
I love my country, but I love the world without the boundaries that divide us more … because I love people and believe we are so much more than what divides us. These are the reasons for my search and finally the discovery of this one thing we can all do to unite us in order to best meet the challenges of the world we have to learn to share. Connecting the Dots … with The RESPECT PRINCIPLE is not the answer to all problems but it is a new, consciously-aware foundation to anchor solutions to all problems upon because the foundation under Connecting the Dots … with The RESPECT PRINCIPLE is the one answer to everything … unconditional love. I urge all of us to think, reflect, discuss, and even argue the practical, the logical, and the compassionate perspectives of Connecting the Dots … with The RESPECT PRINCIPLE so we will discover for ourselves how RESPECT for all, without the need to qualify for BEING VALUED … RESPECTED … is the step in the right direction. I deserve it. You deserve it. We all do. Like it or not, we are all in this life together and how we choose to live is up to us. Our RESPECT LEVEL will always determine what we choose today … tomorrow … the next day. No worries though, as there is a lot of room to grow … and I, as I hope you do, believe we are all worth the effort.
http://www.therespectprinciple.com © All rights reserved 2014.
Nowhere is this more prevalent than in those who are supposed to lead others into the future … whether the leader is a parent, teacher, principal, counsellor, minister, politician, or mentor of any kind … anyone in a position of authority.
How we can determine if we are being led by an “oppressed” leader is by their words and actions that seek to keep us small and limited based on their oppression … their own experience of being oppressed … being told by words and actions their dreams and goals were not possible and so took the path their own leaders told them to take … and they too became like their leaders … oppressed, bitter and jaded … passing on the legacy of oppression without even knowing it.
Over my lifespan, what was applauded in my life was my conformity to other people’s expectations, regardless of what I wanted. Just because I could do well what other oppressed people valued, did not mean I valued what I could do … and over time, the denial of what I knew I could do, with time, study and experimentation turned me into an oppressed, bitter and jaded person till I became so sick in the spirit I had no desire to live.
Interestingly enough, as my Respect Level has grown, I repeatedly have to stand up against, not the physical oppression, but the constant onslaught of the oppression of the unconscious … a “traditional” mentor who attempted to slay with sarcasm and dismissal that writing a book was not “real work,” which I gather he has never done because he would know how much work it is … an employment “counsellor” who also attempted to dismiss “creativity” as something wives of Bruce Power husbands do because they can afford to create at their leisure and at their husband’s expense.
As I wrote yesterday in, “If I knew then what I know now …” my few previous attempts to reclaim my own identity, gifts, talents and abilities have been met with an unexpected backlash of negativity and what I now recognize as the spirit oppression by those who too were spirit oppressed but still do not know it.
All of which fuels my passion even more to raise both individual and our global Respect Level because we know what to do with the oppressors who use violence physically … we return the same on them, but as of yet, on a mass level, we have not even recognized how we are passing on the oppression by the denial of its existence and its impact on our lives and the lives of those we lead by example.
To “oppress” means to weigh heavily on the mind, spirit or senses; to keep down by the cruel or unjust use of power; tyrannize over.
Being “oppressive” is distressing, not only physically but also mentally.
When any person takes on any role of leadership, guiding and mentoring others, what would serve everyone is simply the recognition of one’s own oppression, overcoming it and helping others to do the same … so they can rise to their potential … not be limited by oppression’s weight that attempts to keep people small, limited and powerless … because keeping people small, limited and powerless is also what drives our economy … keeping our wealth capped by the those who seek their false security by their control by oppression over other people … so they feel more valued … respected.
The problem is oppressors will never ever find the peace and wealth they crave … because peace and wealth are only born of the freedom to be who we really are as unique individuals discovering, developing and delivering to the world what only we have to offer.
Ironically, in the end, the oppressors are the ones who ultimately suffer the most by the legacy of oppression they pass on … for they will never be happy, satisfied, fulfilled … and wealthy in the way that counts most … in their spirit.
All rights reserved by KAT (Kaitlin Ann Trepanier) and DARK HORSES PRODUCTIONS launching September 2014 … Entrepreneur, Creative Writer, Visual Artist, The RESPECT Specialist and Architect of the global initiative Connecting the Dots … with The RESPECT PRINCIPLE … because every child … every person … should know, by their own experience, they are valued … RESPECTED.

The eyes are often considered someone’s best feature. But over time, the shape of our eyelids can change, resulting in a less youthful appearance that many patients find upsetting to live with. Eyelid surgery – blepharoplasty to use the correct medical term – can be a highly effective way to turn back time and restore sparkling eyes and radiant looks.
Blepharoplasty can be performed on the upper or lower eyelid, delivering fast results that dramatically boost self-confidence.
Dubai is now known as the hub of cosmetic surgery, with people coming from all over the world to experience safe, effective procedures at the hands of our highly trained surgeons.
The Nova Clinic is one of the Emirate’s most highly regarded practices, delivering exceptional care from initial consultation all the way to post-procedure checks. Our priority is always the comfort and satisfaction of our patients, so if you’re considering eyelid surgery in Dubai we can promise you a quality experience.
At the Nova Clinic, it’s important to us that you achieve the results you are looking for. Our surgeon will gain a full picture of how you want to look before discussing the options available to you and giving his recommendations. He will also undertake a health check to assess your overall wellness and suitability for the operation, as well as asking you about any health conditions you or any close family members may have.
The details of the procedure will be explained to you in detail so you will know what to expect on the day, and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions.
Blepharoplasty is a relatively quick and straightforward procedure that is usually carried out under local anaesthetic.
Small incisions will be made in either the upper or lower eyelid (or both, if appropriate). These will be done along the eye crease and/or lash line so any scarring will be unnoticeable. The surgeon will then remove any excess skin or fat that is causing eyebags and drooping, before closing the incisions with glue or sutures.
Although the procedure is usually carried out under a local anaesthetic, it is advisable to bring a friend or family member with you to help you get home.
There will be some localised swelling and tenderness for a few days after your surgery, so you should not expect to see instant results. Once the swelling and any bruising has gone down, you will be able to enjoy your youthful new looks.
We advise total rest for at least a day after the procedure. You can take pain medication to ease any discomfort.
The cost of blepharoplasty varies according to the type of eyelid surgery you require and anything else we need to take into consideration, such as medical conditions, age and skin elasticity. Doctor Khan will discuss all the options available to you and outline the costs before you sign.

Before I got saved, my greatest aspiration was to be a fashion model. I spent countless hours watching the show, “America’s Next Top Model”, attending casting calls, and even convinced my mom to spend money on modeling school. While other kids were out at the movies, I would be having mini photo shoot sessions at home and spend hours editing the photos after. I actually enjoyed this.
Then, when I got saved, that part of me died. My heart was exposed and I realized just how vain, self-centered, and narcissistic I was. I was blinded by pride. I was so focused on looking pretty on the outside, but on the inside, my heart was ugly.
Yet what I didn’t realize about my season of transition, was that my love for fashion and style wasn’t “all” bad. Actually, if you read in the Bible, the Proverbs 31 Woman was “clothed in fine linen and purple” (vs. 21) but that wasn’t the only thing she was clothed with. She was also clothed with “strength and dignity.” (vs.25) That’s what I was missing. The clothes may have seemed “fine” according to the world’s standard but they were never worth my dignity. I wasn’t modest at all.
Style, actually comes from God. If you don’t believe me, go outside and take a look at all the flowers. Everything on this earth was created in it’s own unique style, even you and I. Even our days are fashioned, styled, and ordered by God.
The problem with my situation was that my style was being nurtured and raised with the wrong perspective and motivations.
I never knew that as a Christian woman, you could slay and pray at the same time. So when I grew convicted about my style of dress, I resorted to simply wearing jeans and t-shirts. Then on Sundays I would occasionally wear dresses. I stayed away from experimenting with anything that looked too “flashy”. No extra accessories, shoes, bright clothes, skirts, or anything that would make me stand out too much.
In college I went through a depression after experiencing a horrible breakup. As a result of this, I stuck to wearing shades of gray, black, and any other dark or plain colors. I was struggling a lot in my spiritual walk at this point and it could be shown through my style of dress. I also gave up on taking care of myself. I stopped working out, didn’t care to eat healthy, I put no effort into my presentation whatsoever. By the time I was married to my husband, Kal, I figured, “well he loves me anyway, why try?” This was very unhealthy thinking.
a little more effort back into my appearance. Why? Because I’m representing God. I’m a daughter of the King? So why should I have to walk around looking all frumpy and depressed? I thought that my denial of color and bright clothing was a form of humility, but it was really just low-self-esteem. Now I’m committed to painting this world with color and light!
If God created the rainbow, why should we have to hide in the shadows? We were called to be a light. We were made to stand out. Maybe I AM called to be a model. A model of Christ’s love. A model of natural beauty. Just not a model of this world.
You see, though I pulled away from fashion and dressing up, the gift of “style” has never left me. Over the years God has given me many different outlets of expression. I have used these various phases of my life to share my personal style. These include photography, poetry, writing, music, hair, graphic design, and the list goes on. Yet when it came to fashion, I always felt like I had to hide and escape the desire. I feared going back to the pride of my past and old ways.
What I had to realize is that it was never about the clothes, it was about the person wearing them. It was never about the “look” but it was about the way I saw myself.
A lot of people will say, “Oh it’s just clothes!” “Oh it’s just hair!”, or “You’re being too deep.” But for me, it’s not just clothes, just hair, or just words. My style in every form is a direct reflection of my spirituality, creativity, and mind.
We see the beauty in a flower that is healthy and well-nourished. But once it lacks the proper nutrients and environment, the petals begin to wither, the stem dries up, and the flower dies. The style of that flower is hindered, and it does matter. It makes a difference. The purpose of that flower is to bring beauty to the world.
In the same way… my writing, my journeys of expression, whether it be my natural hair journey, fashion evolution, or artistic modes of expression, all reveal a glimpse of the person that I am.
So with this new year… 26, I am excited to start re-introducing my journey of personal style and re-creating who I was always made to be.
So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Rainy day, went to the race head shop.
That guy is loosing a lot of nap time trimming that way!
GOODMORNINGDIESELRAM....going to my nerve doctor today to chat and get my prescription refilled. than maybe help my Granddaughter move.
Good morning DR, pleasant start to the day. mid 50' for the high.....23* tonight. Might dink in the garage a little bit this morning, you know...see what projects I can totally avoid.
GOODMORNINGDIESELRAM....Foggy this morning. Helped the granddaughter move last night, still have more today. her boyfriend had the couch, beds, dressers, and tables already in the truck when we got there. I'm impressed. Their moving from the 3rd floor to an apartment in a much better community, and on the ground floor.
Probably because you're wearing that patch over your eye, he's either scared of you, or feels sorry for you.
Rainy 50's today and now snow on the way...should be interesting.
Eye patches always scared me when I was young....the Saturday night horror picture show was hosted by a guy with a patch over his eye. He had a deep scary voice and smoked a cigarette. Even now I'm afraid they might raise the patch and show me a messed up eye....yuk.

At the end of the Toronto convention last year, my 12-year-old granddaughter turned to me and said, "I'm inspired to do something. What can I do?" Naturally, I did what any other Rotarian grandfather worth his salt would do: I asked her if there was an Interact club in her school. When she discovered there wasn't, she attempted to set one up. Unfortunately, her principal had other ideas, but we should not be deterred from helping Rotary youth programs whenever we can, because their value is beyond question.
Take Rotary Youth Leadership Awards as one example. It transforms young people into more confident, focused individuals with a better understanding of the world around them — changes I was pleased to see in my 16-year-old grandson after he participated.
My family is just the beginning. Everywhere I go, I meet people of all ages whose lives have been changed by our youth programs. They tell me how, five or 15 or 25 years ago, Rotary Youth Exchange taught them a new language or introduced them to a new culture. Their eyes light up when they talk about how New Generations Service Exchange helped them advance in their career, or about how membership in Rotaract first ignited their passion for giving back to the community.
Rotary's programs for young leaders extend our ideals of service, friendship, and leadership development beyond the doors of our clubs to hundreds of thousands of young people each year. And when we serve with and for those young people — as sponsors, project partners, and mentors — it brings out the best in us, and it brings out the best in Rotary.
May is Youth Service Month, and there are many ways your Rotary club can celebrate. Sponsor an Interact club or Rotaract club, and your Rotary club will give young people in your community the tools they need to take action, become leaders, and gain a global perspective. Team up with your local Rotaract club for a service project. Get to know the participants in Rotary's programs for young leaders and share their stories with your community. You'll find more ideas in this year's Rotary Citation brochure, located under the Awards section of the Member Center at my.rotary.org.
As Rotary became part of my journey, I discovered that the words of Paul Harris that became the basis of Rotary — that shared effort knows no limitations — were also true for my vocation. I could not bring modern health care to the Bahamas alone. But through partnership, both with the doctors who eventually became my partners in Doctors Hospital and with all the dedicated staff members who worked in the hospital over the years, we could change everything. My goal became a shared goal — and then it became reality.
Paul Harris put it this way: "Each Rotarian is the connecting link between the idealism of Rotary and his trade or profession." It was true when he said it and should be equally true now. We only spend an hour or two a week at our Rotary meetings, but most of us spend most of our waking time at work. Through Rotary, those hours are also an opportunity for service: a chance to Be the Inspiration to those we work with, those who work for us, and the communities we serve.
I couldn't think of a more appropriate image to reflect the message I want to convey to Rotarians. That one flamingo, going the other way, represents so much of what we need to do in Rotary. That flamingo knows everyone's going one way. She sees it. But she also sees that maybe the path they're on isn't the best path. Maybe, just maybe, there's a better path over there, and she wants to get a good look before she goes marching on with her friends. And if, when she does stop and look, that new path does seem better, she'll call the rest of the crew to come over and check it out with her. And maybe, just maybe, they'll all choose that better path together.
Change is hard. And the longer we've been going one way, the more friends we have with us, the harder it is to be the one who turns around and does it differently. But change — not change for its own sake, but careful, considered, goal-directed change — is essential for any organization that wants to evolve, stay relevant, and move forward in the right direction.
So take a look at that picture, but don't look at me. I'm not the one that cover's about. That cover is about the flamingo. It's about having the curiosity, the courage, and the conviction to look at different paths that might be better — whether you're out for a stroll on a beautiful Bahamas morning, or helping chart the course for our organization.
A well-known saying goes, "If you want to change the world, go home and love your family." That doesn't mean people should ignore the needs outside their own homes; instead, they should pay attention to the needs within.
Our membership has hovered around the same 1.2 million mark for 20 years. We aren't growing, and our membership is getting older. We have too many clubs that don't have the knowledge or motivation to have an impact: clubs that don't know what we're doing on a global level, clubs that don't know about our programs or our Foundation, that don't even know how to get involved. And with a membership that is still mostly male, we clearly aren't doing enough to become the organization of choice for women who are seeking to serve.
We are a membership organization first. If we want to achieve the goals we've set for ourselves, we need to put membership first. All of us have a responsibility to take membership seriously, not only by inviting prospective members, but also by making sure new members are welcomed into clubs that offer them something of value. If you see someone walk into a meeting and hesitate, be sure that person has a place to sit and is part of the conversation. If you're enthusiastic about a Rotary program, make sure your club knows about it and knows how to get involved. If you see a need in your community, talk about it at this week's meeting. If we want to be part of an organization that's strong, that's active, that's having an impact – start at home, and Be the Inspiration in Rotary.

In my recent reading for an assignment on Luke 4:14-30 I came across this quote over at Desiring God. I couldn't use it, but man it was cool.
We recalled Urbana 1967. Warren Webster was asked in front of 15,000 students, What if your daughter decided to marry a Pakistani while you are ministering there? His answer still rings in our ears today, as I hope this message will in yours: Better a poor Christian Pakistani than a rich, white, unbelieving American banker. In other words, Christ, not color is the issue. Jesus is the end of ethnocentrism.
"Jesus is the end of ethnocentrism"

Dr. Bethea speaks of a minimally invasive approach to treating patients.
Dr. Bethea is the founder of Greensboro Rejuvenation, an integrative health and wellness practice that specializes in regenerative medicine, using platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells and other natural methods for wellness. Her practice takes a non-operative, non-opioid approach, with the focus on her patients’ overall long-term health.
Greensboro Rejuvenation also offers natural hormone replacement therapy, natural weight loss and nutritional IV supplementation.
A Thomasville native, Dr. Bethea grew up in High Point and Greensboro before her family relocated to West Virginia. She returned to the Tar Heel State in 1992. As a medical student at East Carolina University, she wanted to be a surgeon, and after graduating in 2001, completed her general surgery internship in Syracuse, N.Y.
In 2005, she completed her PM&R residency as chief resident at Sinai Hospital (University of Maryland) in Baltimore. Dr. Bethea is also fellowship trained in interventional spine and joint pain management and worked for a neurosurgical practice for three years before opening her own practice in Reidsville. In 2014 she moved that practice to Greensboro.
Platelet-rich plasma treatment, a natural procedure using the patient’s own blood, is one of the more rewarding services Dr. Bethea offers her patients. It is recommended for healing damaged or injured tissues. PRP involves drawing blood from a patient, spinning it in a centrifuge, and extracting the plasma and platelets from the whole blood, which are injected back into the painful, injured areas, on the same day.
One of her patients, Ann Hardee of Greensboro, a 69-year-old yoga instructor and real estate agent, agrees.
“Dr. Bethea evaluated my injury and injected PRP in February 2017. I felt immediate relief, and over the next eight weeks, the pain completely disappeared. I would repeat this treatment again and again over surgery if the pain ever returned. I have recommended this treatment to others as an amazing alternative to surgery,” she says.

Hennes & Mauritz Inc(H&M) is a multinational clothing retailer from Sweden. Also known to be the second largest clothing retailer and a great place for the people to keep up with the latest fashion trends.
First 20k followers will receive gift certificates worth Php 5,000 claimable on our opening week! Just screen capture this profile and mention @hm_cdo.
Check my screenshot, but I didn't share it to my Facebook and Instagram account. Of course, I won't quickly fall without verifying its claims.
Is it feasible to give 20k follower times Php 5000 worth, in a total of 100,000,000.00 just to screen capture then share it to the other social media? I bet it is a not. Therefore, this user might just be getting some followers to its Instagram account.
I did research on the official accounts of H&M Philippines, and finally, I got a verified Twitter official H&M account, and I found an interesting tweet about that @hm_cdo.
Always ask yourself with this, is it a legit post? If those accounts are not verified or official, then you should think twice about sharing that to the social media esp. Facebook.
Be cautious and don't fall easily about these hoaxes circulating on social media.

The heatwave that hit parts of the country, Kwara State inclusive, was to say the least, quite unbearable with its associated problems.
Therefore, with the sudden change in weather Saturday evening, residents of Ilorin, Kwara State anticipated a succour from the heat (hot weather), which has been tormenting them day and night. The excessive heat made many long for the soothing relief of the rain. Like a prayer answered, the rain came pouring in torrents. But, what was not hoped for-rainstorm, caused havoc, making their joy a flash in the pan.
The downpour that lasted for about one hour was accompanied by windstorm, which left in its trail gale of destructions.
Many residential houses had their roofs blown off, electric poles, trees, giant bill boards, among others were pulled down by the strong winds. Areas like Hajj camp, Taiwo road, Odota, the Ilorin International Airport Unity road, suffered devastating effect of the rainstorm. Many areas were also thrown into darkness as a result of fallen electric poles thus adversely affecting the socio-economic life of people in the affected areas. Some landlords were left in despair owing to their inability to effect repairs due to financial incapacity. It was indeed a traumatic experience for victims.
Another way to mitigate the effect of storm is to construct structures that can withstand it. Like the saying that prevention is better than cure, it is better to construct buildings that can withstand storm than to rebuild after destruction. Building designs must be such that can respond to climatic challenges and resist adverse weather situations. Roof designs and constructions must be wind resistance to prevent it from being blown off during rainstorm. Periodic maintenance of building should also be considered by house owners. This is because roof coverings and other building materials have specific lifespan after which they must be replaced.
To mitigate the effect on victims the state government must ensure intervention within a short period of time. The incoming government in the state must be seen to consolidate the effort of the outgoing government in this direction.
Also, with the rainy season around the corner, there is need to be mindful of the fact that flooding, a natural disaster has become a recurring decimal in Ilorin, Kwara State capital. This occurrence, however, cannot be divorced from unwholesome human activities particularly indiscriminate refuse disposal. The lack of adequate waste collection and disposal system cause poor sanitation as it leads to the blockages of drains. No doubt, population explosion has also contributed to the generation of waste, a huge part of which go into the drains, which are never cleared and makes them clog. When a drainage system is not properly maintained, plants grow there, which will hinder water flow in the drain, and when not tackled early leads to flooding. For residents of the indigenous part of the state capital, emptying their refuse into drainages during rainfall for it to be washed away has become a habit. Most drainage system are blocked by improper maintenance and dumping of refuse. Another human factor identified as cause of flooding is the erection of structures on drainage channels and water courses, thus impeding the free flow of water. These lawless and unhygiene activities put lives and property of residents at risk.
In addition, it has been observed that there are inadequate drainage system in the state capital and where there is it is not effective because of improper designs, which leads to flooding of roads during heavy rainfall. The roads become impassable for human and vehicles.
To prevent flooding this year, roof catchment methods of rain water collection should be embraced to reduce flows into drainage. Houses must not be built on drainage system because this is a major way to reduce flooding. It is necessary for residents to employ adequate and proper maintenance culture of drainages. Gutter must be inspected regularly to see how it discharges the runoff water in order to prevent flooding.
On its part, the state government must pay attention to desilting of drainages. Towards mitigating the incidence of flooding, the Kwara Government must ensure that owners of properties erected on drainage channels and impeding the free-flow of water immediately vacate and affected people resellted elsewhere. There is also the urgent need for government to address the poor or non-existent drainage system in the state capital. Relevant government agencies must identify areas prone to flood risk with view to putting in place measures to cut back its effects.
Like the saying that a stitch in time saves nine, all hands must be on deck to avert devastating effect of rainstorm and flooding this year.

NOT all life savers don yellow and red caps while hanging out beside the beach, one can be found in a Warwick backyard playing tiggie and wielding lightsabers with the younger brother he rescued.
It's been just over a year since Ayden Driscoll jumped into a billabong to save his brother Ashah from drowning.
Now he's earned recognition as a bone fide life saver, as he's due to receive a certificate of commendation from The Royal Life Saving Society Australia for his brave feat.
Chairman of the honours committee, Jim McClelland, reached out to the Driscoll family to encourage them to nominate Ayden for an award after reading his story in the Daily News, which was published in December 2017.
Ayden and Ashah had been on a family holiday at Tweed Heads for only five minutes before Christmas that year when tragedy almost struck.
Ashah, who was three at the time, paddled out into a billabong on his boogie board and suddenly found himself struggling to stay above water.
Ayden was on the shore and heard his name being screamed and jumped into the water to save his brother.
Despite not being able to touch the bottom of the billabong and feeling like he was drowning himself, Ayden got hem both safely to shore.
This week Ayden, now 12, said he was surprised when he heard the news about the award, staying humble about his amazing achievement.
"I know anyone could save someone's life," Ayden said.
"I didn't expect it. We've had many people save lives."
Mother Jenna Driscoll's eyes welled up when reading the letter.
She said she was still amazed Ayden had heard his name being called as living with special needs, he often walked through life with "blinkers" on.
"Ayden has a lot of hurdles with having special needs. He has ADHD and Aspergers," Mrs Driscoll said.
"It'll obviously help Ayden's self-esteem but it'll put it out there for other people on the Autism Spectrum that they can do anything."
Ayden will receive his award at the Royal Life Saving Society Queensland 2019 Black Tie Ball on April 6.
"Now that I've saved his life I'm proud of it," Ayden said.
"My brother is still alive and sometime he will respect me for doing that."
Mrs Driscoll said the rescue demonstrated the vital importance of teaching children to swim, as both Ayden and Ashah had taken swimming lessons from a young age.
"Everyone should learn to save themselves," she said.

When a conference room’s AV systems are properly integrated, meeting participants focus on the meeting, not the underlying technology.
Without the right integrated equipment, the meeting’s quality diminishes and users get frustrated, resulting in less frequent use of the technology and a reduced return on investment (ROI).
IVCi's senior vice president and resident AV expert Tim Hennen created a list of five features an integrated room must have to deliver a seamless user experience.
There should not be any “nose bleed” seats in a well-designed conference room. A meeting environment needs to provide an optimal experience to as many participants as possible. Requirements for video conferencing and graphics viewing differ, so seating must be designed to accommodate both scenarios. Video conferencing can be comfortably viewed on a five-foot screen from a distance of two to eight times the screen height (ten to 40 feet away from the screen), and data can be viewed well from a distance of two to six times the screen height (ten to 30 feet away from the screen).
2. Evenly distributed audio system.
To prevent distractions caused by inadequate audio distribution, microphones should be implemented evenly to provide complete coverage for all users. The best location for a microphone is on the conference room table in front of the user. If this is not possible due to portable furniture arrangements, ceiling microphones can be implemented, as long as interference from HVAC systems and other sources is limited.
Speakers should also be designed to provide even coverage of the conference room. Distributed ceiling speakers are often used to accommodate larger spaces; however, zoning may be an issue if a voice-lift or mix-minus solution is needed. Program and surround speakers are ideal for spatial audio from video conferencing and telepresence or stored/DVD/CATV content.
Audio mixing processing for mixing and routing signals generates the best performance from the room’s audio equipment. Sound processing like echo cancellation, noise cancellation, feed suppression, and equalization creates a superior audio effect. An open-frame solution should be utilized for a complex audio environment, as it allows customized audio programs to be created for each conference room.
3. Provisions for complex video signaling and routing.
Welcome to the brave new world of signaling and routing. Today’s complex environment presents challenges with numerous analog and digital signals, including those from composite video, s- video, component video, RGBHV, DVI, HDMI, SDI, and HDSDI. Therefore, it is important to plan for all signal and routing requirements. All destination devices such as displays, recording devices, codecs, and encoders must be compatible with the signals from all sources. Video converter boxes are useful because they scale or convert signals from lower to higher resolutions, ensuring they will be compatible with the destination device.
potential limitation with multiple destination sources.
4. Audio and video collaboration tools.
Participate in an audio-only meeting and you may end up wondering what was lost in translation. Add video conferencing, and users experience the visual cues of a face-to-face meeting. Video conferencing is becoming a critical communication tool that is found in many conference rooms. Not only is video cost effective and environmentally-friendly, but a growing number of organizations are mandating that whenever possible, video be utilized in place of travel.
Although high-definition video conferencing provides the best quality, there is still demand for standard video conferencing installations. Camera placement is especially important in achieving the most realist effect. Strategically placed cameras provide better eye contact and create more personal interactions. Telepresence rooms utilize life-sized viewing and capture solutions with simplified user interfaces to create a truly immersive experience.
Audio conferencing bridging (conferencing in of multiple audio participants from remote locations) is still a requirement for most meetings. Provisioning POTS Lines, and analog and VOIP ports for the conference room allows seamless conferencing among all participants. Audio bridges can also be used to archive meetings.
A well designed control system gives the user the power to easily control all AV systems in the room. A control panel or GUI (graphical user interface) can be designed to control all of the room’s systems including audio, video, lighting, presentation tools, and HVAC. The GUI should be easy to use; numerous conference room systems can be tricky to navigate at once. The end result should be a seamless navigation process.
A user’s level of expertise dictates the control system design. Basic user controls include a simplified task selection such as macros, or a three-buttons-to-press approach to accomplishing the desired task. Simplified rule-sets such as fixed routing allow the basic user to easily navigate the room’s systems.
Advanced user controls accommodate the needs of more seasoned operators. Advanced controls can create a customized meeting experience, but require more training. Administrators have the responsibility to deliver a seamless experience to all users.
Once user interfaces are deployed, significant testing must be conducted to assure high-reliability. If the system is unstable and the end user does not experience an easy-to-use system, the room will not be used as frequently, affecting the ROI of the solution.

The Nike Roshe Tiempo VI FC Men's Shoe is the hybrid of two icons, featuring premium materials and soccer-inspired details for a fresh take on off-field comfort and style.
Inspired by the practice of meditation and concept of Zen, the Nike Roshe One epitomizes simplicity. It has no embellishments, just basic shoe necessities brought to life with every detail. Almost every part of the shoe reflects an aspect of a tranquil Zen garden: a modified Waffle outsole made to look like stepping stones, an insole that mirrors a raked rock garden, and slightly different midsole side lengths—a juxtaposition of seriousness and playfulness.

If you own a car, do you have a roadside assistance company to work with? It may sound like you don’t need such assistance as of this moment, especially when your vehicle is brand new, but you need them when an emergency arises. If you haven’t got one yet, choosing the right roadside assistance to provide is one of the most significant decisions you need to do. It can be tricky to choose one, but with the right factors to work with, you will be able to find the right one in no time.
When you buy your car for the first time, an auto insurance is usually provided to your car. However, it can be very tempting to avail bundled package since often roadside assistance is offered by the insurance company. Make sure you avoid this as it can be the main ingredient for a complete disaster.
The reason for this is because of the premiums rising. While the cost of the insurance per year can be as little as $14, when you file a request for roadside assistance, expect your auto premiums to go up. There are some incidents that help request can be associated with tickets.
It is also in the imperative that this kind of coverage is not portable. So when you own more than one vehicle, you need to buy the coverage for each of them.
Car dealerships these days offer roadside assistance and local Calgary Towing , which is, in fact, one of their largest added services that they push onto their clients when they buy cars and often with no charge for a limited period. However, experts say that they are not making this offer out of goodness from their hearts.
But rather in most cases, coverage offered by these car dealerships is just one of the many ways to earn a profit in unnecessary repairs. The reason for this is because a lot of assistance plans from car dealerships, especially when a tow is filed upon request, the customer must take the car to the nearest car dealership. This situation provides the dealer the opportunity to gouge out the customer of their cash with the emergency repair.
If you go with other assistance plans, you get free request with tow to the nearest shop that you choose, but this will depend on the distance. They may even charge for the extra distance not covered in their plans.
Many major credit cards and debit card providers boast about their discounted roadside assistance and towing Calgary services offered to their customers. If you prefer to use this kind of coverage, all you need to do is call the number indicated on the back of the card when you need the roadside assistance. The car company will be the one to make the request by contacting the nearest mechanic that are affiliated with their network. The main advantage of such plans is that you are billed with this assistance at a flat rate with the assistance request you made. Most of the time the prices are lower compared to when you call the shop directly.

Tonight promises to be either a REALLY exciting night for one person (or many people!) OR it’s going to result in an unfathomable amount of money still in the pot to be won at the next drawing.
Either way, in the case that you win the 1.4 BILLION dollar lottery, I’m just gonna go ahead and put in some requests, in case a friend or loved one wins some money.
And don’t worry, all of these requests are tax deductible, and will actually HELP you with all of that tax mess you’re going to have to deal with.
It’s almost March for Babies time. You know how passionate I am about raising money for our preterm babies and babies with birth defects. I’d like to ask that you just make a tiny little $20,000 donation. (I’ll take $10,000). This is our FIFTH year raising money for Team Charis and Kat, and while I love it, I’m also tired of begging everyone for money. This simple, kind action on your part would mean so much for the babies, and to me! You can donate right here.
You know I run that little nonprofit for grieving parents – Sunshine After the Storm – right? It’s also a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Do you know how many grieving parents I could send packages to and brighten their days with $5000? So many! You would be a true hero. And how many Sunshine After the Storm: A Survival Guide for the Grieving Mother books I could donate?? A LOT.
My third request. It’s my last. The beautiful Henry Michael Powell Memorial Garden is in need of some tender loving care (ie, money) in order to complete out the project. And poor little Kathryn’s butterfly garden. It needs some improvements. The Henry Michael Powell Children’s Memorial Garden is in Columbia, SC. It is a beautiful place where all children can go and play. We have already bought a bench for it, but still have quite a bit of fundraising to do to finish it out! To donate to Kathryn’s butterfly garden, click here.
Thank you, in advance of your winning, to consider these wonderful projects that need some more money… always. And, I mean, you’ve just won a $1.4 BILLION dollar lottery, so I’m sure you’ve got some spare change.
Here’s a pic of our Kathryn bench in the Children’s garden. The only thing missing of course, is Kathryn.
Kathryn’s bench in Kathryn’s butterfly garden – this garden can make so many children happy!
Thank you! Hopefully someone I know and love wins and does this for me! Hee hee, a girl can dream!

Pacific Rim came out last week, and I loved it for most of the reasons I already predicted. Visually, it’s fantastic. It hits all the bright colors and foreign feel of Blade Runner while containing the grittiest elements of military fiction. And that’s kind of what the movie is, a marriage between Starship Troopers-esque action and Voltron with a massive budget and an adult demographic. It’s all the best parts the Power Rangers, Godzilla and, for reasons I’m not entirely sure, Street Fighter 2.
What the movie isn’t, though, is an origin story. And thank god for that. The audience gets caught up with the current events of the film through a 10 minute introduction with protagonist narration. It’s simple, elegant and somehow not reminiscent of the 90 second info dump at the beginning of Green Lantern.
Not unlike a cross between an anime, a video arcade and a Hong Kong casino.
I can’t say what every film should do because there is no such formula for success, but I can say what I liked about this movie: simplicity. There’s no question about how to use power or how to deal with the morally grey questions of supeheroics. The protagonists aren’t grappling with the hardships of great power and great responsibility or restraint.
There’s simply a hole in the ocean where monsters keep coming out and you need to punch them in the face with a robot while wearing Mass Effect style armor. Kick it in the d*** and don’t get killed.
And I couldn’t help but reflect on other summer movies that were a little too bulky. Man of Steel‘s origin story, coupled with the obligatory struggle with power and shoe-horned romance, had enough girth to bog down the entire story to a degree that made us questions whether it was still Superman.
Also, that Superman couldn’t stop the destruction of Metropolis, the death of thousands of people and snapped a guy’s neck: SUPERMAN IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE ALL OF THEM!
Am I saying that Superman’s origin shouldn’t have been part of the movie?
I’m saying that everyone knows his origin story because Superman is the most recognized fictional character on Earth. Would it have been bad to do a clip montage like Pacific Rim or a brief intro like the 2009 Star Trek? Actually, that’s a great idea. In 8 minutes Abrams created a tangent history for Kirk and the entire Star Trek universe. Granted, the rest of the film was still a kind of origin story for the crew, but it was dynamic and interesting.
Speaking of Abrams, Star Trek: Into Darkness has a lot of the same baggage. I really wanted to like the film, and I’m quite fond of the first J.J. Abrams reboot, but there were some things that I couldn’t get past.
1. Kirk getting demoted for being a screw-up and then being immediately promoted to save The Federation and avert war.
2. Having a battle with a secret ship in orbit of Earth. Where is the rest of the Federation? They just had a terrorist attack like 2 days ago.
3. Earth’s complete lack of monitoring devices or defenses, allowing for a terrorist to crash a ship into Star Fleet HQ. If the destruction of Vulcan was the 9/11 (or Pearl Harbor) of Star Trek, how is it Earth is completely undefended?
4. Kirk kicking the ship’s engine to get it working again. This wasn’t so much an oversight as an accidentally perfect metaphor for the transformation of Star Trek characters from their original incarnation as diplomats and scientists to people who get things done by hanging off ledges and punching people.
All of these things are symptoms of movie baggage. These films are trying to complicate characters that, traditionally, are considered beyond reproach. And maybe this is the heart of the problem. I’m tired of flawed characters burdened by their responsibilities. I’m over shades of grey and coping with how awful having super powers must be.
Where is the joy? Where is the sense of whimsy? Where is the simplicity of having the ability to help people and wanting to do it? That’s what Pacific Rim had and, I argue, what Man of Steel and Star Trek: Into Darkness were missing. Again, I’m not saying that this is the way all films should be because you know I would be on here complaining about how static and boring protagonists are. But I do believe these two franchises deserved characters with a sense of wonder and joy.

I created an editable grid, and set the Empty Rows property to 10.
When viewing the live page, I only insert 2 rows.
After submitting, there will be errors for the rest 8 empty rows saying that the inserts failed.
How to eliminate the errors?
I forgot to mentioned that I'm using CCS2.
If you set a default value on any of the fields CCS thinks that each line has been changed.
How do I set the value in the before insert event for a grid as each row element is incremented by a counter value?
I have in the grid a hidden control that's bounded to Modify_Date field in the table. In the Before_Build_Update event, I modified the value to "now()".
If I clicked "Submit", it will update all rows with that value.
I want only the rows modified are updated. How to do this?
Roger: - How do I set the value in the before insert event for a grid as each row element is incremented by a counter value?
In the Events Window declare a variable Counter OUTSIDE of any function (making it global). You can then Increment the counter by one prior to the insert.
Your problem is the stateless nature of the web (ie when a page is passed you have no idea what has been modified).
Second way: is in the BeforeBuildUpdateEvent is to test the data that has been passed against the database, i.e. get all the fields in the form do a CCLookup and see if they are the same. If not then change the date.
Third way: Depending on your database use a before update trigger.
Sorry it's ugly anyway you look at it.

Discussion in 'Camper Storage / Winterizing & De-Winterizing' started by tcbrady, Nov 9, 2018.
It's unfortunately that time of the year unfortunately... To finalize the year we got 11 trips in with about 40 days invested in camping, and enjoyed every minute of it! (Even if some trips required working on the camper... LOL.) This is our first year camping with the camper (2014 Flagstaff MAC 228) and I'm getting ready to prep it to be closed up for winter. Luckily, the camper will be staying in a garage during these months. I've done some research on how to clear the lines and winterize. Is there anything else that everyone does as routine yearly maintenance that I should be doing? Maybe any tips on how to make the winterizing process easier or things you've learned from doing it yourself that you can shed some light onto a newbie?
The biggest thing I worry about is my OFF-ROAD Batteries. I leave them sitting on the trailer tongue but do have a compete disconnect switch on them. You will have several things that will pull from the battery if you leave them connected and this will drain you down below the 50% charge state in a month or so.
Even when I disconnect my batteries i keep a close watch on their charge state and if I see them get down below the 12.5VDC point I will trickle charge at a low rate for a couple of days... My original batteries installed in 2008 lasted until a couple of season ago doing this method.
Other than winterizing my 2014 M-208 with antifreeze in the fall and adding the mouse deterrents, I do all of my regular maintenance (greasing and lubing) in the spring and summer. If you used your sink, make sure you add enough antifreeze to displace the water in your p-trap.
Where to you put the antifreeze in at on your camper? The city connection? Was hard to find model specific instructions on doing the winterizing.
I connect a 3' hose at the water pump behind the access panel, stick the hose into a bottle of antifreeze. turn on the pump and turn on the water at the sink. This winterizes the pump and the sink. I use about 3/4 of a bottle of antifreeze.
You can purchase winterizing kits but if you don't have a water heater, you only need a hose and a connector. I got the connector from my local RV supply store the hose from the hardware store.
Just remove the two screws to the access panel and the pump is right in front.
I don't have pics of what is behind my access panel but you can connect the winterizing hose to the water "strainer" (pic below). The strainer should be connected to your water pump on the left side. The type of threaded connector you will need to attach to the piece of winterizing hose is also pointed out it this pic on the right.
You should also unscrew the strainer casing and rinse the strainer before you winterize. I found mine was mostly clogged last year. This year it was clean.
That's what I was contemplating. Just blowing the lines clear and calling it a day. Although, the garage isn't heated but I don't think it gets much colder than 30*.
No worries. Just blow out the lines.
Is there a special way to handle the water pump when you don't use antifreeze then?
Thanks for all your advice with this. We ended up detailing and winterizing it this weekend with no issues! We decided since we didn't use any anti-freeze we would just move it to the garage attached to the house (we live in a townhouse, garage on the 1st floor attached to the laundry room and storage room so that garage is semi-heated) so we wouldn't have to worry about any residual water freezing and causing damage. Plus, I've got a few projects I wanted to work on this winter regardless so now I won't even have to go outside to get to the camper. LOL. It was really nice to see how well the camper cleaned up with 2 hours of elbow grease but sad at the same time. Going to be a long winter waiting to get back out in April!
There are some comments about not winterizing if in the garage. While that would be fine during many winters think back to the polar vortex we had last January. It was well below freezing for 3 straight weeks. Are you confident it did not get below freezing in your garage during that time?
I wouldn't ever just park it in the garage for the winter without at least blowing all the lines. I think most of the comments your referring to are whether or not antifreeze would be recommended if the lines are blown. In terms of my garage, yes I'm confident it will not reach anywhere near freezing. For others I'm not sure it's in their best interest.

Find the applicable scenario below. If you do not see an option that fits your situation, contact Support. Please note these fixes apply to the Ultimaker 2, Ultimaker 2+, Ultimaker 2 Go, Ultimaker 2 Extended, Ultimaker 2 Extended+, and Ultimaker Original+ printers. Because the Ultimaker 3 and Ultimaker 3 Extended printers take their firmware update from the Olimex board, there's no way to accidentally install the wrong firmware update.
I have an Ultimaker 2 or Ultimaker 2+ and the bed crashes into the nozzle.
Most likely, firmware for an Extended model was loaded onto your regular sized machine. Because the Extended is taller, the bed is set to rise higher. If your bed has crashed into your nozzle, you will want to look for damage on the nozzle tip. Reload the firmware making sure "Ultimaker2" or "Ultimaker2+" (and not the Extended) is selected as the machine in Cura.
I have an Ultimaker 2 or Ultimaker 2 Extended and I can't load filament because the feeder motor is spinning in the wrong direction.
Most likely, firmware for an Ultimaker 2+ or Ultimaker 2 Extended+ was loaded onto your machine. Because the feeder is designed differently on the + models, the motor spins in the opposite direction in order to feed filament. Reload the firmware making sure that "Ultimaker2" or "Ultimaker2 Extended" is selected as the machine in Cura.
I have an Ultimaker 2+ or Ultimaker 2 Extended+ and I can't load filament because the feeder motor is spinning in the wrong direction.
Most likely, firmware for an Ultimaker 2 or Ultimaker 2 Extended (not +) was loaded onto your machine. Because the feeder is designed differently on the + models, the motor spins in the opposite direction in order to feed filament. Reload the firmware making sure that "Ultimaker2+" or "Ultimaker2+ Extended" is selected as the machine in Cura.
I have an Ultimaker 2 Go and I'm getting a Temp Sensor-Bed error message.
Most likely, firmware for a full-sized machine was loaded onto your 2Go. Firmware for a full-sized machine expects a sensor for a heated bed. Since the 2Go does not have a heated bed, the printer thinks there's a problem with the electronics. Reload the firmware making sure that "Ultimaker 2 Go" is selected as the machine in Cura.
I have a Ultimaker 2 series printer (any model) and the head homes to the wrong corner.
Most likely, firmware for an Ultimaker Original/ Ultimaker Original + was loaded onto your printer. Reload the firmware making sure you select the applicable "Ultimaker2" model in Cura.
I have an Ultimaker Original/Ultimaker Original+ and the head homes to the wrong corner.
Most likely, firmware for an Ultimaker2 was loaded onto your machine. Reload the firmware making sure to select the applicable "Ultimaker Original" model in Cura.
