On June 22, 2009, near the Fort Totten Metro Station, 9 people (the train operator and 8 passengers) were killed and scores more were injured unnecessarily in a horrific wreck on Metro's Red Line. It could have been avoided and should never have happened.
Incidentally, because Metro carries Workers' Comp (WC) insurance, the family of the train operator, Janice McMillan, cannot sue Metro. Everyone else can sue but Ms. McMillan's family will only receive a pittance in relation to what the passengers and/or their dependents will receive. A passenger who had her arm broken in the wreck (for example) will almost certainly receive a much larger settlement than Ms. McMillan's family. This is grossly unfair and needs to change. Employees (anywhere) should not be forced to give up their right to sue as a condition of employment.
Most of the details about the worst accident in Metro's history have been reported in the Media. There's no point in me repeating them here.
However, there is something that to the best of my knowledge was not mentioned in the MSM and that is the test or PMI we performed to check the track circuits. The "Track Circuit Data Sheets" that we had used since I began working for Metro in 1983 had two (2) columns for the verification procedure (where we pretend to be a train). We ATC technicians had been specifically instructed to only use one of the two columns. We only performed one of the two procedures because that's how the PMI was written and it's how we were taught to do it. Had we been performing the second half of the verification all of those people would almost certainly be alive and uninjured – celebrating the holidays with their family and friends as I write this.
That's really all you need to know. For those who are interested in some brief explanatory details, they follow.
If you've got coffee, drink it now!
Seriously, if you're at all interested in how subway trains can move automatically, this should be somewhat interesting. If not, well, read at your own risk.
This photo should be helpful in visualizing what I am referring to below. The black box in the foreground is an 'impedance bond'. The small cable carries the train detection and speed command signals from the TCR. The yellow sign is a 'chain marker'. A 'chain' is 100 feet. This is 71,700 feet from Metro Center. 'A1' is the A line, track#1. This is just north of the Twinbrook Station. The tracks on the other side of the fence belong to CSX.
The railroad tracks are divided into sections, aka "track circuits". Like city blocks except track circuits vary in length from less than 100 feet to maybe 1,300 feet or more.
In order to detect the location of the trains, a signal is fed through the rails from one end of the track circuit to the other. It is an audio frequency signal which you can actually hear in some places. The rails act as wires and conduct the signal. Where the signal enters the rails is called the transmitter (Tx) end and the other end is called the receiver (Rx) end.
Normally, with no train in the circuit, the signal goes out to the tracks through a cable to the Tx end, travels down the rails to the receive end and back to the TCR. As long as the signal makes it back to the room the track circuit is assumed to be vacant (no train). Any approaching train should get unrestricted speed commands (the equivalent of the posted speed limit on a public road).
When a train enters the circuit, its steel wheels and steel axles form a short circuit, connecting one rail to the other which prevents the signal from making it to the receiver end. When the signal does not return to the room the track circuit is assumed to be occupied by a train.
It is done this way for safety. Anything that causes the signal to not complete its journey out to the rails and back (a cracked rail, a blown fuse, a broken rail clamp, etc) will be interpreted as being a train in the circuit. It is supposed to be a "fail-safe" system, and it is – unless Metro "engineers" start mixing new equipment from one mfr with old equipment from another mfr. More on that later.
A 'track circuit verification' is vital but pretty basic. We would use a 'shunt strap' (like a single jumper cable) and short across the rails – to simulate a train – and confirm that our equipment indicated that the circuit was occupied. We called this 'dropping' the circuit (causing it to show occupancy).
Above I said we only did half of the procedure. The data sheet had columns for both the Tx and Rx ends. I recall asking my supervisor back in 1983 or '84 why we never did the verification at the Rx end. He said it wasn't necessary and clearly wasn't interested in talking about it any further.
In fairness, what he said made sense intuitively – if the signal could be shorted out at the Tx end where it is the strongest, verifying the Rx end would be an unnecessary waste of time. To my knowledge no one really questioned this over the years – not even the most intelligent and conscientious technicians and supervisors (some of which are _real_ engineers).
We continued verifying the transmitter end only, until after the wreck in June of '09.
After the wreck, what we found was that contrary to what our training and common sense would suggest, it was actually more difficult to 'drop' most track circuits at the Rx end. What that meant from a safety perspective is it would be possible for a train to be in a track circuit and not be detected – for all practical purposes it would disappear!
That's exactly what happened the day of the accident. An inbound train was holding outside Fort Totten, waiting for the train ahead of it to clear the platform. It happened to be sitting close to the Rx end of the circuit and was not detected. Therefore, the train approaching from behind on the same track received full, unrestricted speed commands. The operator of that train, Ms. McMillan, saw the stationary train in front of her and hit the emergency brake (or "mushroom", named for its mushroom shape) but it was far too late. Her train slammed into the rear of the stationary train causing catastrophic damage to the first two cars. She was presumably killed instantly.
Early warning:
Prior to the accident, ATC technicians had been instructed to install new 'impedance bonds' (the equipment that couples/transfers the train detection and speed command signals to and from the rails) on the tracks. The bonds they were told to install were made by a different mfr than the rest of the equipment in the TCR. More than one of the techs questioned the wisdom of this but they were blown off, as per usual. They noticed that some track circuits weren't adjusting properly and reported this but were told to "crank up the power" which is not a good idea from a safety standpoint. If the signal is too strong the circuit might not ever drop (show occupancy).
A particular circuit (the one the struck train was in) began picking and dropping – alternately indicating occupied then vacant – days before the accident. This was confirmed by the system log (sys log) that was leaked and published in a local paper. A 'work order' was opened for a 'bobbing track circuit' (a circuit that is alternately indicating occupied then vacant – 'train/no train/train/no train'). It was that same circuit. A bobbing circuit would be obvious on the huge display at Central Control (OCC) downtown at the Jackson Graham Building (JGB). In fact, that's almost certainly why the work order was opened! After the accident, it came out that there was a letter issued by the mfr of the bonds clearly warning against mixing them with equipment from other mfrs. At the NTSB hearing the "engineer" claimed that he "never saw the letter" (although others in the industry had). WMATA claimed that they "never knew" about the track circuit problems before the accident when there was a clear paper trail showing they absolutely did know. Was anyone fired or demoted due to the accident and subsequent blatant lies? Was anyone prosecuted for manslaughter? Hell no – it's Metro! "Mistakes were made. Heads will roll. We're on top of this…". OK, back to sleep now…
And in a nutshell, THAT's what's wrong with Metro. There is absolutely ZERO accountability. Whoever was down at OCC when my two coworkers were killed this past January is guilty of voluntary manslaughter but will they face any consequences? No way. Can my coworkers' widows sue them? Sorry, WC means that not only can they not sue WMATA, they can't sue any Metro employee acting in his/her 'official capacity'. "Sorry about your dead husband/wife; sister/brother; mother/father. Go away now, you're bringing me down. I have to get back to killing people…".
The "engineer" responsible for instructing us to install the mismatched equipment? Not only is he not an engineer, he doesn't even have a high school diploma! He has a GED, that's it. He and two other uncertified "engineers" are the subjects of a recent newspaper article which I linked to in a previous post. He retired after the accident but now works as a "safety consultant" for Metro!!
This is so outrageous it would almost be funny if people weren't injured and killed.
Hopefully this accident will forever prove to be the nadir of the history of Metro.

October 2017 Santa Rosa Fire
Mountain Stream Cancels Residential Retreat at Angela Center
New Year Greetings,
We reflect on how many people suffered from loss of life and property because of fires in Northern California this past fall. The Tubbs Fire in October devastated parts of Santa Rosa and a beautiful sanctuary called the Angela Center, which Mountain Stream, Spirit Rock and other meditation centers have used as a venue in hosting residential retreats for many years. Because of the fire, Mountain Stream was forced to cancel our November retreat at the Angela Center. The Center is now closed indefinitely due to damage caused by the fire.
In response, we offer the following as an opportunity to practice generosity and give financial support to those in the Mountain Stream community who were affected by the cancellation of a 9-night residential retreat at the Angela Center.
Two weeks before Mountain Stream's residential retreat was to begin, we made the difficult decision to cancel the retreat. The repercussions from not hosting the retreat has had an impact within our small community. At least 32 people, ready to go on retreat, were unable to fulfill their commitment to practice. The close knit collective of retreat teachers & staff including, John Travis & Heather Sundberg, retreat chef Michelle Reynolds & retreat manager Kerry Nelson, whose livelihoods depend on the dana (donations) received from retreatants, were suddenly without that income. And even Mountain Stream itself was impacted by the loss of revenue from registration that helps cover our costs for organizing the retreat.
If you are moved to support the retreat teachers, staff or Mountain Stream, at any level, it is greatly appreciated. A check can be made to Mountain Stream and by indicating the person(s) for whom you designate your donation, we will promptly send them a check. If you choose more than one recipient let us know the amount of the gift. We thank you for your thoughtful consideration.
Mailing address:

Donations for the Angela Center to support the rebuild can be mailed to:

"Traumfrau gesucht" RTL2 2012
It was August 2011 when German television Channel Rtl2 came to Minsk to shoot one of the episodes of the docusoap "Traumfrau gesucht" (could be translated from German as: "Bachelor's Wife Wanted") . The proposal was unexpected, but the process brought us a lot of amusing moments.
I haven't seen the result yet, but frankly speaking, I doubt that the film will reflect meetings in a way they really are. Most likely it will be a parody to marriage-minded western men as well as a parody to the introduction process. But still, you'll see our marriage agency in Minsk, our amazing ladies,how we meet our guests at the airport, how our office looks like and for sure, you'll have fun.

It seems that the time between posts for me is growing wider with each post. I hope to change that. I actually started a post back in January, but then the bottom fell out for me and I never got back to finish it. Needless to say, what there was of that post was sent into electronic oblivion and I decided to start anew. Just as a warning, this post is more for me than for anyone else. I just feel the need to get some things out and this, unfortunately, seems to be as close to a willing ear as I can come at the moment. Fortunately, I have kept this blog somewhat of a secret, so not many people are likely to read this. I hope that those who do read this will understand.
Back in January, I had high hopes for 2006. The previous year had ended in more chaos and personal trial than I will take the time to describe here. I looked at the New Year as a time to put all that behind me and try to start off fresh just as many people do. Little did I know what this year had in store for me. On January 10th, I contracted a case of cellulitis in my left leg. I was at work, and as the day went on I began feeling worse and worse. When I finally did leave, people tell me I looked like a ghost. I was shivering and I felt cold to the core. I got home and crawled into bed, knowing full well what was happening because it had happened several years before. When I woke up the next morning, my lower leg was swollen, bright red, and extremely painful. I shouldhave gone to the doctor then, but I put it off for over a week. When I finally made it to the doctor, I got an antibiotoics shot and then spent the next 34 days on 875mg of amoxicillin twice a day. Those 34 days are like a blur to me. I was always tired and I am amzaed that I was able to function at work. Somehow I made it through and the leg is now free of infection, but I am still recovering. I am just now feeling more normal. Add that to all the other things that carried over, and 2006 has been a bit of a nightmare.
On top of all that, I have been fighting bouts of rather deep depression. Somehow I have managed to maintain some semblance of functionality, though it has often felt like I walked a very fine line between getting by and hiding from the world. There were a couple of days I was very close to simply giving in to it all, but managed to get through it. The last few days have been better, but it's still something I battle. It feels like ages since I felt truly happy, but at least I am not feeling as hopeless as I have. It all probably sounds a bit maudlin, but that's been my life since January.
I decided that it might help to start writing again. I know the beginning is none too auspicious, and I know that there will be pposts like this in the future, but I hope that the good will outnumber the bad as time progresses. It all begins with this first step. Let's see where the road leads me.

|The new leather jacket ...
A week ago I decided OK, no new leather jacket! I'd been looking to replace one I bought in Florence in 2001, which I've worn to death and is due for retirement. On its first outing back home 10 years ago, a lovely acquaintance greeted me from behind a table bearing those sticky name labels you wear at functions, and enthusiastically slapped one on the left side of my new jacket. When I peeled it off a couple of hours later, the surface of that deliciously soft leather came with it, leaving behind a label-shaped scar that - no matter what I tried - never faded.
So, I thought before I left home last month, time for a new jacket. But everything I'd seen was either not soft enough, or too expensive, or - this is BA, after all - over-designed.
I found one I liked in a store on Florida. This is THE shopping street, and therefore the last place you're meant to buy anything worth more than a few dollars. But it's also where the stylish stuff is, so what can you do?
The jacket I tried on was simply and elegantly designed in reasonably soft black leather but, although the arms were long enough (Plain Jane's knuckles narrowly avoid skimming the floor), the small was too small and the next size up too roomy across the back. I was swamped with assistance, spear-headed by a heavily made-up middle-aged woman with a constant flow of complimentary chat in broken English. I was given a price, then another for the necessary alterations. But the idea of going back to pick up an expensive jacket that had been altered to fit me and still didn't evokes the classic shopper's "thank you, I'll think about it" response.
It was like flicking a switch. The light went out of the woman's eyes; she fell back; barely acknowkedged my goodbye. No sale, no interest.
But the day before yesterday, browsing in a store along the street while Suzanne was scanning handbags, I found virtually the same jacket, but in softer leather. It was still the best we'd seen. When I tried it on, it fitted perfectly and instantly felt like mine.
This time the assistant was humourous, outgoing, fluent in English. And she didn't prevaricate for ages before giving me the inevitable "discount". She brought over a similarly styled jacket in cheaper, more crackly leather, then gave a couple of loud baaas and mooos to explain their origins. As we were waiting for the cashier to log my deposit, she admired Suzanne's dress then followed up the compliment by singing to her. Two things were suprising about this - well, three, if you count the fact that New Zealand shop assistants rarely sing to you - she had a real voice, and no one else in the shop turned a hair. I turned to see how her male colleague was taking it, and he wasn't taking it at all, just getting on with his work.
She told us she was a professional singer and wrote down where was singing that night. We didn't go because we were tired and lazy, and, to be frank, imagined something amateurish. When I went back yesterday to pick up my jacket she gave us her website address and I've only just now clicked on it - to hear this. Her name is Chela, and boy, can she sing. I hope we see her perform before we leave here.
|and the woman who
sold it to me - Chela Lopez
And if I'm wearing my new jacket, don't even think of getting near me with a sticky label!

- Managing farm nutrients
Managing nutrients carefully can save you money and improve farm decision-making. Together with soil test results, you can use a nutrient budget to assess farm fertiliser requirements, targeting nutrients where you most need them. Better nutrient management will also reduce fertiliser losses to waterways, protecting water quality and stream life.
On this page: Nutrient budgets can save you money, All about nutrient budgets, Nutrient budgets made easy, Find out more
Nutrient budgets can save you money
The average dairy farm has about $425,000 worth of nutrients in its topsoil. A nutrient budget can help you use fertiliser efficiently and save you money. Sometimes you'll need to build up nutrients in your soil, for example, during a dairy conversion. Other times when soil is at or above optimal nutrient levels, you won't need to raise fertility any higher.
Fertiliser is the largest expense for many farm businesses. In the 2000/01 season, dairy farmers spent on average around $35,000 on fertiliser. This equals about 45 cents per kilogram of milksolids produced. Sheep and beef farmers spent on average around $6.50 per stock unit on fertiliser.
Around 30 percent of North Island dairy farms have twice the level of soil nutrients needed for pasture growth. This means that a third of dairy farmers are probably spending more on fertiliser than they need to.
All about nutrient budgets
Nutrient budgets are like financial budgets. They're useful tools to plan ahead and keep track of what's coming in and going out.
A nutrient budget allows you to identify nutrient inputs to the farm, such as:
- fertiliser
- purchased feed
- clover nitrogen (N) fixation
- effluent.
It also allows you to identify where nutrients go off the farm (outputs), such as:
- farm products – for example, milk, wool, meat
- transfer to non-productive areas - for example, races, stock camps, yards
- leaching and runoff losses to waterways
- gaseous losses to the air.
The bottom line on your nutrient budget (the 'Farm Nutrient Surplus') tells you about the balance between nutrient inputs and outputs. It helps you determine whether nutrients are used efficiently and indicates the amount of avoidable nutrient leaching and runoff. Nutrients lost to waterways are effectively money down the drain. Nutrients lost from land are also the main cause of reduced water quality in Waikato Region rivers.
You can also contact the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) Policy, Hamilton office, for a free copy of the OVERSEER® nutrient budgeting computer programme. You can also download it here.
Soil tests and fertiliser policy
Soil tests tell you if your soil contains the right amount of key nutrients for optimal production. Using these results, your fertiliser representative can recommend what nutrients to apply to maintain or boost soil nutrient levels. They'll also take into account your production levels and goals for the farm.
Doing a nutrient budget allows you to include non-fertiliser nutrient inputs into the equation. For example, the nitrogen fixed by clover or the nutrients in farm dairy effluent applied to paddocks. It will also identify where these inputs end up in your farm system, helping you refine your fertiliser policy to get the most for your fertiliser dollar.
Find out more about applying effluent to land.
Nutrient budgets made easy
Worksheets have been developed by the Waikato Farm Environment Award Trust, with funding from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) Sustainable Farming Fund. Waikato Regional Council and Dexcel also contributed to the project.
They enable you to do a 'back of the envelope' estimate of nutrient inputs and outputs on your farm. To get the best value out of nutrient budgeting, talk to your farm consultant about preparing a comprehensive budget for your farm. You can also contact the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) Policy, Hamilton office, for a free copy of the OVERSEER® nutrient budgeting computer programme.

One of my parents' close friends, Dave West, was found by his wife collapsed in his house in the midst of repairing something (it had only been a few minutes since she had left him). He was helicoptered to the nearest large city and has been unconscious and heavily sedated since then. His heart stopped a total of seven times before they got him stabilized. They are slowly lifting the sedation, and the next 24 hours they said are "critical". His poor wife is asking for as many prayers as possible; especially for him not to have any brain damage. Beyond his wife, he also has 3 kids (one in high school, the other 2 in their 20s) and he's only in his early 50s.
Please keep the Wests in your prayers, especially fervent for the next few days as things develop. I will let you know how things turn out.

Hello everybody,
I am wondering could you please give me some advice. I currently have the XDJ 700's and I am looking for a mixer to go with them, however I need to guarantee that they have the split cue function on beforehand. I live in a shared house which is very quiet and my housemates are not going to appreciate the techno ha ha. So when I am at home, the majority of the time I will need to mix solely in my headphones and not out loud through my speakers. This isn't ideal, but I would rather do this than not practice at all.
I have my eye on the pioneer DJM 350 or 450 or Xone 32 mixers. I have heard mixed reviews about each of these - some people have said they do not have split cue and some people saying they do. Does anybody have any experience and could offer me some advice before I part with my money?- what would you recommend?
I am quite new to Djing, so sorry if this sounds a bit silly,
Thanks a lot,
Ashley x

This week on Suppertime we are eating shrimp and grits ..(and okra) whilst listening to gritty frenetic songs that have that southern feel. This is a meal and playlist for swamp doddling through the night while you chase swamp monsters and beavers. And in case you can't find grits - look no further than the western swamps of the Bulk Barn. For the grits:
You can use polenta ( follow package instructions)...or if you venture to the westy woods to bulk barn and get grits ( aka cornmeal) do this:
1 cup of cornmeal
4 cups of water
dashes of salt
- bring all of the above to a boil over high heat. Stir lots!
- once boiling, reduce heat and continue stiring for 5 minutes.
- finish with lots of salt and pepper and butter
For the shrimp:
However many raw prawns you have
Salt & Pepper
- Cover your raw prawns in the above spices. I prefer heavy on the cumin light on the rest.
- Heat a pan over medium heat with oil and butter in it
- Put prawns in and cook on each side for about 2 minutes or until firm and white and pink
- Turn oven on to 425 C
- Cut okra into 1/3 inch chunks
- Put on a cookie sheet with oil, salt and pepper
- Cook for 10ish minutes or until goldy brownish
Eat this lovely meal all in a bowl! Top off with hot pepper jelly and or chili oil if you want.
A playlist:
Bad Way to Go - Lydia Loveless
See America Right - The Mountain Goats
Bed Rock - Shannon and the Clams
Roadside Wreck - Southern Culture on the Stilts
Wrong Side of A Gun - Nashville Pussy

I'm linking up for the first time with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday!
Excited to be a part of this for the first time after being a blog stalker for years...
The "teacher store" (as I refer to it to my man friend) was on the way home from lunch, so I figured I'd get it out of the way before the crowds start forming. Thankfully I got paid this week, because things certainly aren't getting any cheaper! I curse my love of borders!
I was lucky to grab these as a freebie at the beginning of the month...they will look great in my classroom!
I read the book Setting Limits in the Classroom over the summer and absolutely loved it. I whipped up this set of rules/expectations for me and my teammate (we're a small school...2 classes per grade!):
I'm halfway through 30 Days of Yoga on YouTube, and I'm loving it. The instructor, Adriene, does a great job of explaining proper form, but at the same time encouraging you to "find what feels good" and not necessarily worry about if you can stretch your body into a pretzel or not. For the record, I cannot. I'm hoping to continue with her other videos once school begins because there is absolutely NO REASON I can't fit 20 minutes of yoga into my day. No equipment, don't have to leave the house, don't even have to wear shoes! I think I can manage it.
Make sure to add your own link to Doodle Bugs Teaching and join in the fun!

There are certain key things to look for in a web design company, as it is important that you choose one that will be able to meet every single one of your needs. Not every one of these businesses you come across has the skills or experience to design the kind of website you need, which is why it is necessary to take enough time to find the right one overall. The more time you take to consider these things, the better of a decision you will end up making.
Experience is definitely one of the more important factors to consider when you are going about searching for a web design company that will be able to create the kind of website you need. The more experience a web designer has, the better your chances will be of getting a high quality finished product. At DigiCrest we have years of experience and have done work for a wide variety of clients. Our experience has provided us with the skills necessary to design a website for any company or individual, regardless of what their specific needs may be.
Another crucial thing to consider before deciding which web design company to choose is the size of the company. One of the biggest misconceptions that people hold is that bigger is always better when it comes to finding the right web design company to hire. Sometimes smaller companies actually do a better job rendering their services because of the fact that they are better at focusing on the details of each project they take on. A lot of larger web design companies tend to gloss over some of the more important details, leaving their clients with a less-than-satisfactory product.
Whether or not a web design company outsources any aspect of the work it does will be something else which you will definitely need to take into consideration. At DigiCrest we do all of the design and coding work in-house, so you can trust that we handle everything personally and do not outsource a single task. Outsourcing often leads to mistakes and sloppy work, which is why we have a policy which forbids this. These days a number of web design companies outsource their work and a result they quality of the websites they create takes a big hit.
There are numerous types of web design, including SEO website and creative web design, and we specialize in both. It is also a good idea to choose a company that will be able to design a website that will attract as many people as possible while still managing to look completely unique. We definitely take a fresh and interesting approach to web design work, and we also understand how important it is for your website to stand apart from all of the millions of others on the web. Our skilled and creative web design specialists are accustomed to coming up with unique ideas for websites that are professional as well as stylish and creative.
Finally, it is crucial that you look for a web design company that is reliable and will keep the lines of communication open with you until the project has been completed. We are always available to answer questions and address any concerns our clients have so they are completely satisfied. If you are going to pay for these design services, it is imperative that you trust the people you pay to do the work. We are reliable professionals who always complete projects on time and have everything you are looking for in a web design company.

Leaving aside the obviously false claim that this was a world exclusive as the news had been circulating for months on the Internet, this headline raises some very serious questions. There are issues about publicity at the arrest stage, matters concerning the blurring of distinctions between abuse and assault and complexities of belief, disbelief, trust and distrust.
In this blog I shall focus only on the issues about publicity at the arrest stage.
Rolf Harris was arrested as part of Operation Yewtree, a police investigation led by the Metropolitan Police Service into alleged sexual abuse, predominantly the abuse of children, by the BBC TV star Jimmy Savile (who died in 2011) and others. The investigation started in October 2012, following a scathing television documentary about Savile. After a period of assessment it became a full criminal investigation, involving inquiries into living people as well as Savile. The claims being investigated by Operation Yewtree were divided into three categories.
- claims against Savile;
- claims against Savile and others; and
- claims against others.
The Rolf Harris claims fall into the third category – that is, they are in no way linked to the activities of Jimmy Savile.
So, what are the issues surrounding publicity about this arrest?
The primary question in relation to the public naming of someone who has been arrested but not charged with any offence, but especially with highly emotional offences like sexual assault and/or abuse, revolves around the nature of innocence and guilt.
In British law there is a presumption of innocence until guilt is proven, but what does this mean in practical day-to-day realities?
Although most of us carry around our own little private guilts, we remain completely innocent in a public or criminal sense. The main benefit of our public innocence is that we can live our everyday lives with a considerable degree of freedom and privacy. We can come and go from our homes, we can visit the shops or the library or the cinema, we can have friends visit or we can visit friends and all of these activities are unremarkable and unremarked.
Public or criminal guilt on the other hand carries with it serious consequences. In addition to the sanctions the law might impose, like fines or imprisonment, the lives of the guilty become much less private. Their shame and humiliation becomes a matter of public record and they can become the object of public ridicule. They are often denied the chance to earn a living in the way they have become accustomed and their behaviour is often scrutinised by the police and other authorities. If they are celebrities of any kind their tiniest activities are monitored and commented upon by the media. This consequence of being found guilty of something is often more burdensome and damaging than the sanctions imposed by the judicial system. It is especially more burdensome and damaging for those completely innocent people associated with the guilty person - children, spouse, friends and neighbours.
In this aspect it is completely immaterial whether Rolf Harris is innocent or guilty of the offence for which he has NOT at this time been charged. He has already been ridiculed and humiliated in the public media; his home was besieged by newspaper, radio and television journalists from around the world as well as by gawpers; his family, his friends and his neighbours have been harassed for comment and reaction. His TV programmes have already been pulled from broadcast schedules. This seems like a lot of negative consequences for an innocent man to be suffering.
It is worth remembering that under Operation Yewtree at least one man, the writer Wilfred De'ath, has been arrested, released on bail and subsequently told there would be no charges to answer. De'ath accused the police of being over-zealous.
If Rolf Harris is eventually charged and then found guilty of any criminal offence, it might be possible to argue that the consequences already being suffered, are deserved and justified -- but if he is not charged, or found innocent, these consequences cannot be erased – they will have left a crippling injury and an indelible stain on the life and psyche of an innocent man.

by Lawrence Garvin, WSUS MVP
Day One of MMS 2013 is now "in the can". No great shell shockers coming from the first day… well except one. The afternoon session of the Expo Hall had come and gone, and I left the booth a bit late, and as I rounded the corner from our booth I noticed that the LANDesk Software booth – which had been right behind us – was no longer there, and a new booth was being put it its place. Intriguing, no doubt.
When I returned at 5:00pm for the Welcome Reception, imagine my astonishment when I saw right before my eyes a Shavlik booth! Shucks, I said to myself, I thought Shavlik had come and gone with the VMWare acquisition in 2011. (Some of you may remember it was Day One of TechED NA 2011 when VMWare announced their acquisition of Shavlik.)
This morning, a press release found its way into the world breaking the news …. LANDesk has purchased the entire vCenter product portfolio from VMWare. I suppose it's no great surprise that VMWare divested its Shavlik-acquired products. (It was just last month they surprisingly killed off VMWare Go Pro.) VMWare seems to be in the process of reorganizing and consolidating back to their core business focus, and that will be very good for virtualization customers.
But LANDesk?! For starters, LANDesk already has a Patch Management product, subscription based, and somewhat on the expensive side. It's also generally not considered a big player in the patch management landscape. (Well, let's say that when I talk to people about patch management, I rarely hear "LANDesk" mentioned as a solution in deployment, or being considered.)
So, maybe this is a step up for LANDesk. They get a patch management product with a rich customer base, and perhaps a solid patch management product for their portfolio. Plus, certainly, they get a door open into the Configuration Manager landscape, where previously LANDesk Patch Manager was but merely a minor competitor.
But I'll still ask the same question I asked three years ago…. What does this mean for all of those vendors who built their patch management products on top of the Shavlik engine? They're likely all LANDesk competitors. How will existing vCenter customers (who stuck with the product after the VMWare acquisition) feel about working with LANDesk?
Other questions of intrigue: What about the few LANDesk Patch Manager customers? Does LANDesk continue to develop two different patch management engines, or will LANDesk customers get forced into the Shavlik pipeline? Some of the answers may be between-the-lines in the LANDesk Shavlik FAQ.
Maybe, in the end, nothing really changes at all. For Configuration Manager customers, there are additional options in the third-party patch management landscape, including SolarWinds Patch Manager. For those who don't use a Microsoft stack (WSUS/ConfigMgr) for patching their Windows systems, it's just one of another dozen options.

|2016 Campaign
|Greater Atlanta - Athens CFC: Chair Campaign Message
2016 Greater Atlanta-Athens Combined Federal Campaign
Erville Koehler
It is an honor to serve as the 2016 Chair for the Greater AtlantaAthens Combined Federal Campaign (CFC).
The CFC is the largest workplace giving campaign in the world. Since the first campaign in 1964, federal employees have donated over $7 billion to eligible charities all over the globe. Last year, the AtlantaAthens Combined Federal Campaign contributed $3.65 million and we hope to have an even greater impact this year. Jouez au jeux casino gratuits sur Casino770.
The 2016 Greater AtlantaAthens CFC got off to an early start because we assembled a great team of committed federal employees just like you who are working hard to establish the infrastructure for a successful campaign. However, our efforts rely on you!
As public servants, the CFC provides us with an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to improving the quality of life for others beyond our roles in the federal government. Because of the work that we do on behalf of the American people on a daily basis, many of us have a unique awareness of the needs that exist in our communities and abroad. We should not be comfortable with just being aware of the needs of people all over the world who are facing hunger, homelessness, illness, barriers to education and other challenging concerns. We should do our part to respond to those needs because "no one is an island" and whatever threatens the quality of life for our neighbors also has the potential to have the same impact on us. Your donations to the CFC provide an opportunity for us to "Be the Change We Want to See" which has been voted as this year's campaign theme.
During the 2016 CFC solicitation period, I ask you to consider giving through the CFC because:
Please join me and the 2016 AtlantaAthens CFC team's effort to, not just meet a goal, but make a positive change. I encourage you to review the 2016 CFC Contributor's Guide where you can choose from a vast crosssection of charities that suit your own philanthropic interests and qualifications. The guide lists local, national and international eligible nonprofits that will benefit from your contribution.
I thank you in advance for your support and look forward to working with you as we embark on a successful 2016 Combined Federal Campaign.

After an operating season characterized by monthly as well as annual production records, it is now time for the annual outage at unit Oskarshamn 3 (O3). This involves 25 days crammed with activities with focus on safety and quality in order to ensure stable electricity deliveries in 2016-2017.
On Saturday 28 May, unit O3 was disconnected from the offsite grid prior to the annual outage and is scheduled to be in operation again on 22 June. With many activities planned to take place in a short period of time and many contractors present at the site, it is important that safety is prioritized. Additional resources will be present in the facilities with one task only: detect and prevent occupational health and safety risks and reinforce professional behaviour.
– We have dedicated safety coaches who support the activities that require special focus in relation to the work environment, says Per Magnusson, deputy production manager at unit O3.
The time critical activities during this outage are the various activities to be performed in the reactor hall, for instance refuelling and rearrangement and replacement of equipment that measure the neutron flux in the reactor vessel. Other major activities concern for instance service work on three out of eight main recirculation pumps, valve work in different vital safety systems, and inspections of for instance the turbine bearings and the low pressure turbine exhaust blades in the conventional turbine equipment.
– We have been planning this outage during the entire year, and we are now eager to get started, Per Magnusson concludes.
Unit Oskarshamn 1 (O1) delivers electricity at maximum power again after this year's successful outage.

The fickle finger of fate has found a fast friend in Donald Trump. The President-elect's world view came into stark relief today when it was revealed that Trump uses a coin flip to make his big foreign policy decisions. A senior adviser to the President-elect explained how the process works.
"Let's say, hypothetically, the leader of Taiwan calls and President-elect Trump thinks Taiwan is the restaurant on 7th Avenue where he gets sushi take-out. But then some hypothetical person on his staff tells him Taiwan is actually a small island in the midst of a long-standing dispute with China that, if managed improperly, could spark World War III. Meanwhile, Taiwan has been on hold for ten minutes and all this talk of take-out has everybody feeling a little peckish. How does the President-elect solve this foreign policy quagmire and still get umami and a California roll? Flip a coin! Heads, you hang up on Taiwan. Tails, you take the call but you make it short by pledging to recognize Taiwan sovereignty if they pay for the sushi. Thank god that coin ended up tails! Best sushi I ever had!"
Surprisingly, Trump's fifty-fifty decision making is receiving praise from many foreign policy experts. One such expert offered an opinion echoed by many of his colleagues.
"It sounds crazy until you consider the alternative. He could be making these decisions with his brain. There's a lot to be said for dumb luck."

Clinical Psychologists are highly trained professionals with a background in theory, as well as mental health diagnosis and treatment. After completing college, most Psychologists spend 7+ years in graduate school and conducting research before they receive their doctoral degree. As part of that training, they are required to complete both a predoctoral and postdoctoral internship in order to practice independently. The combination of intensive education in psychological theory/intervention combined with clinical experience that distinguishes Psychologists from other mental health care professionals.

I use skill-building approaches that are practical and useful and which require active patient participation both in sessions and between sessions.
Amy Montague, Ph.D.
Everyone is unique and has unique life experiences and history. I get to know my clients and their unique qualities rather than applying a broad generalized approach of one size fits all. In the past psychologists were taught to not get involved with their patients and keep a safe distance. Now with good boundaries we are encouraged to work with clients and their doctors, work environment, families and friends if needed to better understand the psycho-dynamic factors governing their unique personality. Then I am better able to understand and help my clients with what ever prompted them to seek my help.

Steven Harris, PhD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
As a psychologist, I have a unique training in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of problems. However, this training has also instructed me of the importance of not over-diagnosing and that symptoms and diagnoses are only ways of describing behavior. They do not tell me who the person is and what their symptoms might be telling us. Therefore, for me, all of the diagnosis, etc., is in the background. If I give too much importance to diagnosis, I find that it gets in the way of knowing who someone is, why they feel the way that they do, and what we need to try to do together to get things on track. Therefore, I would say I like to try to help uncover "What is right with you" to help you find your way.

Warning: Fark.com now grabbing copyrights
Via Backingwinds
FARK.com just underwent a major site redesign, and lost among the clutter is their new legal policy. One would intuitively think that simply posting a photograph to the forums over at FARK.com would not mean that one is surrendering their copyright to FARK.com for all time, but it would appear that that is no longer the case:
Fark.com is the legal owner of all copyright interests of Fark.com content. Each and every submission to Fark.com carries with it an implied assignment of the entire copyright interest in the submission. In exchange for the content and publication of that submission on Fark.com, Fark.com grants back to the submitter a non-exclusive, non-transferable and royalty-free license to republish that submission in any and all forms.
Essentially, this means that posting any of your content to FARK, be it photograph, text, or whatever, immediately and forever transfers your copyright ownership to the owners of FARK.com. If, for example, you post a photo, they are free to sell rights to your photograph to others or to use it without permission in any way they deem fit, including advertising. The owners of FARK are "generous" enough to grant you back a license to use your own photo as you wish, but you are forever barred from selling licenses on the photo, as you (A) no longer own the copyright, (B) have only been granted a non-transferable license, and (C) FARK has generated a Royalty Free license, meaning that the image can never be Rights Managed again. The owners of FARK now own your image, not you.

AFL Fantasy Drawing Board 2017
Chad from dtlive.com.au has a very special Christmas present for Fantasy coaches.
While we are waiting for AFL Fantasy Classic to open in January, our friend Chad at www.dtlive.com.au has got the 2017 version of his popular team picker, the Drawing Board, opened for coaches to start building their teams.
The prices are being revealed every couple of days via AFL.com.au – with some great little articles with our hot tips to read – but all of the information around how prices have been calculated are now public. A quick recap on how prices are calculated.
- $11,000,000 salary cap has been confirmed.
- Players are priced based on their output last year. eg. 2016 average x magic number (approx 6036 for 2017).
- Essendon players receive a discount of 10% on their 2015 average.
- Players who missed a full season receive a discount of 30% on their 2015 average.
- Players who have missed two or more seasons received a discount of 35% on their last available average.
- Players playing less than 10 games receive a 3% discount on each game under 10. eg. Play 5 games in 2016, then they receive a 15% discount. This is applied to the higher of their season average from the last two years.
- Dayne Beams and Nat Fyfe qualified for a discount due to minimal games played, but they have not received a discount.

why is everyone so keen on the bont? what has he done to show that he will improve on in his last years numbers at all?
109 from his last 16 games, young so improvement to come as well. Hard to tag as he's that big bodied enforcer. Dogs will be up there again. I think he'll go 105 minimum

Tried a new team, anyone got an opinion? Fixed all my rookie priced players to ones who will probably play Round
Looks like a reasonable side at this point of time. I'm unsure if Bennell will be fit for Rd 1 or not due to his calf issues.

Defence is fine.
IMO in the mids there are too many players coming back from injury and is too risky.
Love the rucks and the fwd line looks a bit weak.

Thoughts appreciated… Rough team, first one of the year!!
Looks really solid, bit of mid priced mayhem which might limit your $$ upside but this team will score from the get go. Just as an FYI Barrett is on the Lions rookie list, I'm positive he will see some action at some stage but will need to get elevated first if I'm not mistaken – maybe bench instead of M8?
Who would you say are the mid-pricers? I reckon most players will gain coin, and my premos will stay or gain…
Omeara, Swallow, Miller & Heeney, plus Hibberd is touch and go but could almost see him sneaking into top 6 def calculations so might not require an upgrade anyway. The value is certainly there and I'm still tossing up on a few too, tough one…
I'm struggling to find why there is so much hype behind Myers.
He's 27 so he's not really a young player that will develop
Before the bommers were banned he had a season in which he managed two games due to injury in which 36.5 before that his best averages came in 2013 and 2014 were he managed 76.6 and 81.2 which are respectable numbers for his price however he got those averages in the years where the bombers were on drugs
He has never played all 22 games in a season with his best being 20 in 2013
After only playing 2 games in 2 years what makes everything that he will earn a spot in essendons best 22 which has seen the dons pick up better and younger players in his position in the draft (parish, mcgragh, Francis) he is understandable cheap for his potential capabilities however even if he manages to reach his 2017 potential of 66.7 your still bette off with going with a 150k rookie who will likely average roughly the same amount.
McGrath is training in the back-line, and Francis is a utility (and swings between the forward and back lines when he plays).
Essendon don't have many larger bodied inside mids (only Watson and Hocking – both of whom are the wrong side of 30). And Myers is more damaging than Hocking (a tagger), and is more likely to get games than a 150k rookie.
Anyone keen on Deledio?
