I'm trying to set up WP while using a remote database connection as the server I have WP installed on has outdated MySql. I have all of the information correct in wp-config.php and it's still telling me is can't connect to the database to continue the install. Here is the snippet of code I currently have:
define('DB_NAME', 'gallcablog');
/** MySQL database username */
define('DB_USER', 'mikegallca');
/** MySQL database password */
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'passwordhidden');
/** MySQL hostname */
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql.keepsix.com');
I've been able to log into myphpadmin fine and see the database I've created with the login details above, but for some reason it's not taking. I've also tried adding the port to the end of the hostname with no luck. Please keep in mind Localhost isn't an option as I am connecting from a remote mysql host.
Any suggestions?

text: 375Shares36690 Marcus Almeida, also known as "Buchecha" (or Bochecha), is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt under Rodrigo Cavaca who is one of the stars of the super and ultra heavyweight divisions of the sport. Before completing his twentieth birthday Buchecha was already revered as the "Next Big Thing" in grappling, a claim he confirmed with successive podium achievements in the black belt divisions, including a double win (weight and open weight division) at the 2012 , 2013 and 2014 world championship, having become in the process, only the second man to win 3 open weight world championships (the other being Roger Gracie), and the first to win 3 in a row. Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida Jiu Jitsu Full Name: Marcos Vinicius Oliveira de Almeida Nickname: "Buchecha", or rather "Bochecha", means cheek/big cheeks. Marcus' instructor, Rodrigo Cavaca, nicknamed him Buchecha because when he first started training he was a bit overweight and his cheeks were prominent. Lineage: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Carlson Gracie > Élcio Figueiredo > Rodrigo Cavaca > Marcus Almeida Main Achievements ADCC Champion (2013) World Champion (2014, 2013, 2012 weight & absolute) World Nogi Champion (2011, 2010 weight & absolute) Pan American Champion (2012 weight and absolute) World Pro Cup Champion UAEJJ (2012, 2013 absolute, 2014 and 2015 weight & absolute) SP Cup Champion (2010 WLPJJ) Miami Open Champion (2010 weight & absolute) World Silver Medallist (2011) Weight Division: Super Pesado (up to 100kg-221lbs) Favourite Position/Technique: Double Leg, Toe Hold, Choke from the back. Team/Association: Checkmat BJJ Marcus "Buchecha" Almeida Biography Marcus Almeida (192cm / 6'3″ tall) was born on the 8th of January, 1990, in a town called Sao Vicente close to Santos in the state of Sao Paulo. As a child Marcus wanted to be a football (soccer) player, but he was not very good at it by his own admission. He then turned his sights on Surfing a sport he practised from a young age. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu only came into "Buchecha's" life in his mid teens. He was 14 years old when his sister first started training BJJ. Marcus's father, Mr Cleiton Almeida, was very protective of his daughter, and started accompanying her to class. With time Mr Cleiton started practising himself, and from there it wasn't long until he was dragging his son Marcus with him. Luckily young Marcus loved Jiu Jitsu from the start and started training every chance he could. Marcus's physical abilities helped by the masterful eye of his instructor, BJJ World Champion Rodrigo Cavaca, soon turned Buchecha into one of the most feared athletes in the lower belt divisions, and after successive wins in the "Brasileiro", Pan American, Sao Paulo Cup, Scandinavian Open and "Mundial", Almeida received his black belt (while on the podium after his win at the World Championship in 2010), not long after his father was also awarded his black belt in BJJ. He moved to the United States with his master and his team mate Thiago "Baiano" Aragao in 2010 where he confirmed he belonged in the major league of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, winning the World Nogi Tournament later that year, closing the bracket with his "Avengers" team mate, Roberto "Cyborg" Abreu. After a short spell when he returned to his native Santos in 2011 with his master Cavaca, Buchecha came back to the United States where he started coaching and competing full time. After this return to the United States (2012), Marcus Buchecha Almeida's career as a black belt competitor took off to another level with a win in both his weight and the absolute category at the Pan American Championships as well as the World Jiu Jitsu Championships (both with IBJJF). He also fought in the legendary Roger Gracie at the Metamoris Pro Invitational, giving a great display of jiu jitsu, tying the match in submission only rules with the 10x world champion.

Ski Resorts Won't Allow Marijuana Use
Governor John Hickenlooper still has roughly a month to certify the results of the November election. And when he does, it'll be legal for Coloradans over 21 to smoke recreational marijuana. For the moment, most businesses are taking a wait and see approach. The state's ski resorts are one industry that doesn't expect its policies to change any time soon. Bente Birkeland has more from the state capitol.

Chinese-based solar energy equipment company JinkoSolar has opened a customer service operation in Singapore at its new regional headquarters.
The Singapore office will manage customer service, sales, logistics, financing and project development for the country. JinkoSolar said with the opening of its Singapore office, it now has nine sales and marketing offices located on four continents.
"Singapore boasts an established logistics infrastructure, mature financing system and a skilled talent base - which facilitates cost-effective and efficient operations for companies like ours," said JinkoSolar chairman David Li. "We look forward to continuing support for our existing customers and growing to meet the needs of a robust customer base throughout the region."
The Australian Taxation Office deputy commissioner John Dardo says he's confident the department's voice biometrics technology provides efficiency without compromising security.
The ATO deployed Nuance's Vocal-Password in August last year and FreeSpeech in April this year, and Dardo told The Australian the technology was delivering better customer experience and faster resolutions for callers. "No one wants to be on a call to an agent longer than they need to, but we also need to ensure that for people who call us regularly, convenience and ease of access are effectively balanced with our mutual need for security," he said.
The ATO's technology analyses more than 100 unique voice characteristics while the customer speaks, and compares them with the relevant stored voiceprint. "Every person's voice is unique in the same way their fingerprints or irises are unique," said Nuance's Weideman. "Our system can detect patterns outside the frequency of the human ear."
Chinese ICT service provider DYXnet has won the latest Customer Relations Excellence Awards organised by the Asia Pacific Customer Service Consortium.
DYXnet Customer Care Director Samuel Chan, was also named CRM Manager of the Year in the Network Communications Category. "Over the past few years, DYXnet has been investing several million Hong Kong dollars in enhancing our Customer Service Centre (CSC)," said DYXnet's Wallace Ng.
"We are honored to have Samuel Chan, our key member of the CSC team, recognised as the winner of CRM Manager of the Year 2014 by the APCSC," said Ng. "We believe the CRE Award would be a great encouragement and recognition to him and to the whole team. We will keep on the motive in the future by continuing our service with the highest standards so as to create more value for our enterprise clients."

NewVoiceMedia, a leading global provider of cloud technology which helps businesses sell more, serve better and grow faster, today announced that it has introduced major new product features to its ContactWorld for Sales solution which will dramatically improve the performance and success of sales organisations worldwide.
With the latest edition of ContactWorld for Sales, time-consuming processes are automated, helping businesses stay ahead of the competition and increase productivity by 25 percent. Recently ranked the world's 11th top cloud technology startup, NewVoiceMedia is committed to investing in the development of its suite of true cloud solutions to continue offering customers the best possible technology within a single Salesforce desktop and provide excellent support globally. The company is extremely agile in its development, creating updates every week, and this quarter saw the introduction of several significant new features for ContactWorld for Sales:
This announcement closely follows the launch of Motivate, NewVoiceMedia's gamification module. Using the combined power and intelligence of ContactWorld for Sales and Motivate, together with the single platform of Salesforce, organisations can transform everyday tasks into rewarding activities that will help increase engagement and encourage reps to develop a habit of best practice processes. In turn this results in a measurable improvement in business efficiency, especially through improved user CRM adoption and more opportunities created.
NewVoiceMedia also announced its partnership with predictive analytics firm Fliptop in May, which enables sales organisations to score leads and opportunities within a company's pipeline based on over 5,000 individual internal and external data points.
This new release will help companies address issues highlighted by NewVoiceMedia's research, which revealed that sales teams are failing to use data-driven insights and personalisation to close deals. 86 percent of prospects claim that just five minutes of preparation prior to sales calls boosts success, yet more than half of calls are poorly researched. With the latest features from ContactWorld for Sales, reps will have more time to research leads, and alongside Fliptop, the focus they need to make every conversation personalised and relevant to the prospect.
Bethany Ayers, SVP Strategy at NewVoiceMedia, comments, "We pride ourselves on the hard work and innovation it has taken to create our market-leading technology which is delivered as a true cloud service over the Internet. Cloud computing and agile development methods are at the very core of our business ethos and these major enhancements to ContactWorld for Sales reflect our relentless dedication to making our cloud capabilities best-in-class and enabling our customers to drive a more effective sales team".

¹Based on sales 2.0 best practice of four hours of call time and 50 calls per day, 97% of all business calls go to voicemail – saving of 1.5 minutes to leave a voicemail for each call = 73.5 minute daily saving per rep
² Based on The Bridge Group's 2009 Inside Sales Report, which states that the average inside sales team is 12 reps

An Edible Reflection
By David Kinch; Christine Muhlke; Eric Ripert (Foreword by)

The long-awaited cookbook by one of the San Francisco Bay Area's star chefs, David Kinch, who has revolutionized restaurant culture with his take on the farm-to-table ethic and focus on the terroir of the Northern California coast.
Since opening Manresa in Los Gatos in 2002, Kinch has done more to create a sense of place through his food—specifically where the Santa Cruz Mountains meet the sea—than any other chef on the West Coast.
The restaurant's thought-provoking dishes and unconventional pairings draw on techniques both traditional and modern that combine with the heart of the Manresa experience: fruits and vegetables. Through a pioneering collaboration between farm and restaurant, nearby Love Apple Farms supplies nearly all of the restaurant's exquisite produce. Manresa is an ode to the mountains, fields, and sea; it shares the philosophies and passions of a brilliant chef whose restaurant draws its inspiration globally, while always keeping a profound connection to the people, producers, and bounty of the land that surrounds it.
Christine Muhlke is an editor at "The New York Times". She has written for "Vogue, Vanity Fair, Food & Wine", and other publications.
Eric Ripert is the co-author of the recently published "On the Line: Inside the world of Le Bernardin", and chef and part-owner of Le Bernardin, awarded four stars by "The New York Times", three stars by the Michelin Guide, and rated best restaurant in New York by Zagat. He is a frequent guest on such national shows as Bravo's "Top Chef", "Today", "Charlie Rose", "Martha", and Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations". He has opened two new restaurants, 10 Arts in the Philadelphia Ritz-Carlton and Westend Bistro in Washington, D.C. You can watch Eric Ripert in action on his forthcoming television show "Avec Eric" and on his Web site, www.aveceric.com.

Next, consider 2004, when instant polls showed John Kerry beating George W. Bush in their first debate.
One of the ironies of instant communication it seems is that no one is ever available to talk.
See a picture you like, and you can instant message that person to ask if they want to hook up.
late 14c., "infinitely short space of time," from Old French instant (adj.) "assiduous, at hand," from Medieval Latin instantem (nominative instans), in classical Latin "present, pressing, urgent," literally "standing near," present participle of instare "to urge, to stand near, be present (to urge one's case)," from in- "in" (see in- (2)) + stare "to stand," from PIE root *sta- "to stand" (see stet). Elliptical use of the French adjective as a noun.
mid-15c., "present, urgent," from Old French instant (14c.), from Latin instantem (nominative instans) "pressing, urgent," literally "standing near" (see instant (n.)). Meaning "now, present" is from 1540s, and led to the use of the word in dating of correspondence, in reference to the current month, often abbreviated inst. and persisting at least into the mid-19c. Thus 16th inst. means "sixteenth of the current month." Sense of "immediately" is from 1590s. Of foods, by 1912. Televised sports instant replay attested by 1965. Instant messaging attested by 1994.

Retracting reel
Abstract available in
Claims available in
Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Jan. 24, 1956 w. R. LUMMIS 2,732,148
RETRACTING REEL Filed Nov. 1, 1951 I INVENTOR.
United States Patent RETRACTING REEL Wilburn Russell Lummis, Pasadena, Calif.
Application November 1, 1951, Serial No. 254,237 1 Claim. or. 242-167 This invention relates to a retracting reel and it is an object of the invention to provide a device of this kind embodying a structure wherein the spring is housed within the hub of the drum.
Another object of the invention is to provide a reel including a pulley or spool having a hub and side pieces or plates, that can be readily stamped out and easily assembled thus presenting a pulley or spool that can be economically produced.
The invention consists in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts of my improved retracting reel whereby certain advantages are attained, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order that my invention may be better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure l is a view in side elevation of a reel embodying the invention;
Figure 2 is a view in edge elevation of the device as shown in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an enlarged view in side elevation with parts broken away;
Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially on the line 4-4 of Figure 1;
Figure 5 is a view in perspective of the hub of the drum as comprised in the reel unapplied; and
Figure 6 is a view in perspective of one of the side plates or pieces of the drum unapplied.
As disclosed in the accompanying drawings, C denotes a casing of desired dimensions and including mating casing portions meeting to form a peripheral wall 1 with an opening 2. A grommet is positioned in opening 2 to prevent one casing portion from rotation with respect to the other casing portion, said grommet serving as a rounded guide to expedite movement of an elongated flexible member 3 which freely passes through and which readily winds around or unwinds from the spool or pulley within the casing C. In the drawings, the outer end portion of the member 3 is operatively engaged with a split ring 4 of a well known type and to which may be applied a usual type of key 5 or a chuck key 6.
The spool or pulley D comprises a hub 7 and two side plates or pieces 8. The hub 7 comprises an elongated strip of metal or other material of requistite rigidity and strength of a length to be rolled into an annular hub 7 of desired diameter. This stop is also of width to extend a major portion of the distance between the side walls 9 of the casing C.
The strip of the hub 7 at required points spaced therealong is provided with the outwardly and laterally disposed fingers or tabs 10 of a length to extend through the openings 11 of the side plates or pieces 8 and properly spaced around the axial center of the plates or pieces 8. The portions of the fingers 10 outwardly of the plates or pieces 8 are bent outwardly and inwardly, as at 12, to tightly bear against the outer faces of the plates or pieces ill ice
8. The assembly of the spool or pulley D is not completed until after the spring S has been applied.
The central portion 14 of each of the side plates or pieces 8 are outwardly pressed or offset with respect to the marginal portion 15 and the openings 11 in the present embodiment of the invention are substantially at the junction between the portions 14 and 15. The oflEset of the central portion 14 of each side plate is greater than the thickness of the tabs 10.
The peripheral portions 15 of the side plates or pieces 8 constitute the flanges of the pulley or drum D between which the flexible member or chain 3 winds upon or unwinds from the hub 7 and it has been found advantageous to have said portions 15 spaced apart a distance only slightly greater than the maximum transverse diameter of the member or chain 3. The outwardly pressed or ofiset portions 14 of the side pieces or plates 8 are substantially of equal depths and of such depths to allow the central portion of the spool or pulley D to fit closely between the side walls 9 of the case C yet allowing the drum or pulley D to freely rotate.
The axial portions of the side pieces or plates 8 have the openings 16 through which is disposed a conventional fixed axle or mandril 17 operatively engaged with and bridging the space between the side walls 9 of the casing C.
One of the side walls 9 of the casing C has secured thereto, an external hook member 18 is carried by one of the walls 9 of the casing C so that the device may be readily attached to a belt of a person, or to a convenient part of a machine.
The strip of the hub 7 is provided with a pair of closely adjacent openings 19 to permit the proper application of an anchoring hook 20 for the outer extremity of the springs while the opposite or inner end portions of said spring S is secured in a well known manner, as at 21, to the fixed axle or mandril 17.

VA Health Care For Women:
Progress Made in Providing Services to Women Veterans

(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) health care program for women, focusing on: (1) the progress VA made in removing barriers that may prevent women veterans from obtaining VA health care services; and (2) the extent to which VA health care services, particularly gender-specific services, are available to and used by women veterans.
GAO noted that: (1) VA has made considerable progress in removing barriers that prevent women veterans from obtaining care; (2) VA has increased outreach to women veterans to inform them of their eligibility for health care services and designated women veterans coordinators to assist women veterans in accessing VA's health care system; (3) VA has also improved the health care environment in many of its medical facilities, especially with respect to accommodating the privacy needs of women veterans; (4) however, VA recognizes that it has more working these areas and plans to address concerns about the effectiveness of its outreach efforts and privacy barriers that still exist in some facilities; (5) in response to women veterans' concerns, VA has begun to assess its capacity to women veterans; (6) with regard to gender-specific services, VA's efforts to emphasize women veterans' health care have contributed to a significant increas of all services over the last 3 years; (7) the range of services differs by facility; services may be provided in clinics designated specifically for women veterans, or they may be provided in the overall medical facility health care system; (8) more importantly, utilization has increased significantly between 1994 and 1997; (9) for example, gender-specific services grew from over 85,000 to more than 121,000; and (10) during the same time period, the number of women veterans treated for all health care services on an outpatient basis increased by about 32 percent or 119,300.

I love to explore the different cultures of the world, so I travel quite a lot. In Europe, I've been to most of the Spanish Balearic Islands, although it's been a long while since I've been to Mainland Spain, so therefore I only have about one memory of it (randomly my memory is of me running at a train station). I'd love to revisit Mainland Spain as I'm very interested in Spanish culture. I also want to go to Denmark, Ireland, Dubai, Kenya, the Maldives... the list is long! The Maldives is a likely no, unless I win the lottery.
Also within Europe, I've been to Portugal, Croatia, the Netherlands (I'm due to revisit the Netherlands in June with friends), Belgium, Germany, France, Sweden, Austria, Greece and Italy. Closer to home, I've been to Derbyshire, the Cotswolds, Cornwall, Devon, Scotland, Wales and Windsor. Outside of Europe, I've been to the United States, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt.

Sept. 10 at Pitt 35 ... Maine 29
CFN Analysis: COMING
(AP) PITTSBURGH -- Ray Graham ran for 121 yards and three touchdowns to lead Pittsburgh past Maine 35-29 on Saturday.
The junior running back added five receptions for another 30 yards for the Panthers (2-0), who struggled to put away the Black Bears (1-1).
Warren Smith passed for 334 yards and three touchdowns for Maine while receiver Derek Buttles added seven receptions for 148 yards and a score for the Black Bears, who never led but kept it interesting from start to finish.
Pitt quarterback Tino Sunseri threw for 224 yards and two interceptions before giving way to true freshman Trey Anderson in the fourth quarter. Anderson, a walk-on who was offered a scholarship just before the season-opener against Buffalo, guiding the Panthers to a touchdown in his first series to provide some needed breathing room.
Turns out, Pitt needed every last bit of it.
Zach Brown appeared to put the game away with a 1-yard touchdown run to put Pitt up 35-15 with 8:39 to go.
Maine, a member of the Football Championship Subdivision, simply wouldn't go away. The Black Bears scored on a 1-yard plunge by David Hood with 3:12 to go and Smith found Maurice McDonald for a 2-yard touchdown with three seconds remaining.
The Black Bears, however, were offsides on the ensuing onside kick and Pitt escaped thanks again to its star running back as coach Todd Graham's "high octane" attack operated in simple fits and starts.
The first-year coach was hoping his team would start working the kinks after an uneven debut against Buffalo a week ago.
Not quite yet.
Sunseri had trouble getting the ball downfield once again. The junior's longest completion was a 25-yard strike to tight end Hubie Graham.
Then again, Sunseri rarely had time to throw. Maine sacked him seven times and harassed him into throwing the ball away on a handful of other occasions.
Not exactly the kind of performance Todd Graham was looking for as Pitt prepares for the meat of its schedule. The Panthers travel to Iowa next Saturday before hosting Notre Dame and South Florida.
The Black Bears were supposed to be a chance at a tune-up. They gave Pitt plenty to work on.
Ray Graham, who ran for 201 yards and three scores a week ago, again proved to be the only consistent weapon in the Panthers' arsenal. He scored on runs of 1, 3 and 1 yards, the last of which gave Pitt a 28-15 lead.
Pitt's defense made a stand and the Panthers quickly got the ball back, only this time Sunseri didn't lead them onto the field. Instead it was Anderson, who has gone from walk-on to scholarship player in the span of a month.
The next stop on his journey could be starter.
Anderson completed 4 of 5 passes on his first drive and showcased his arm strength when he heaved it 50 yards in the face of a hard-charging Maine rush. The ball fell incomplete, but the throw seemed to revive the Panthers.
Pitt quickly drove down the field, with Brown capping the drive with a touchdown. Anderson remained under center on Pitt's next drive while Sunseri stood on the sideline with his helmet pushed atop his head.
It creates a murky picture going forward even as Pitt improved to 10-0 all-time against FCS opponents while the Black Bears failed to beat a BCS conference team for the second time under coach Jack Cosgrove.
Maine shocked Mississippi State in 2004 and while the Black Bears never found a way in front, they provided plenty of fodder for the boos that showered the Panthers at times as they tried desperately to gain some traction.
Get Tickets For This Game
Maine (1-0) at Pittsburgh (1-0) Sept. 10, 1:00, ESPN3.com
Here's The Deal … It's going to take time for Pittsburgh to get up and running with its new, up-tempo offensive system under rookie head coach Todd Graham. That suggestion was evident throughout the Panthers' uninspired 35-16 defeat of Buffalo over the weekend. Fortunate to be hosting a MAC opponent in Week 1, they started slowly and were dominated in time of possession. Another soft draw this Saturday affords Graham and his staff a much-needed chance to tinker before next Saturday's telltale trip to face Iowa.
resh off a 28-13 victory over Bryant University of the Northeast Conference, Maine is poised for its first-ever meeting with Pitt. The Black Bears are coming off a 4-7 season that included a 38-14 defeat at the hands of Syracuse. Buried near the bottom of a deep and talented Colonial Athletic Association, the program is determined to make the climb back to respectability under long-time leader Jack Cosgrove.
Why Maine Might Win: The Black Bears will only go as far as the running game will take them this fall. They produced 155 yards and three touchdowns on the ground a week ago, getting most of their production from gifted senior RB Pushaun Brown. The Panthers defense, on the other hand, was surprisingly vulnerable against Buffalo, yielding over 400 yards and staying on the field far too long. The Bulls ran a whopping 93 plays, holding the ball for nearly 39 minutes. If Pitt fails to make key stops on third down, it'll not only fuel Brown, but also breathe life into erratic Maine QB Warren Smith.
Why Pittsburgh Might Win: The Black Bears may have Brown, but the Panthers will confidently counter with their own big-time back, junior Ray Graham. He's coming off his second career 200-yard rushing game, adding three touchdowns to spark a moribund offense. Maine is just soft enough in pass defense for Pitt QB Tino Sunseri to get back on track following a mediocre start to 2011. With all kinds of time in the pocket to look for the open man, he'll move the ball around to receivers Devin Street and Mike Shanahan and H-back Hubie Graham. A sketchy Black Bears passing game will allow the Panthers to commit maximum resources to halting Brown's forward progress.
What To Watch Out For: So what's up with the Pitt D? A talented group on paper had all kinds of problems with QB Chazz Anderson, RB Branden Oliver and the rest of the Bulls offense. Plus, the Panthers produced just two sacks on 49 passing attempts. Was the opener an anomaly or a disturbing sign of things to come? They need rally and flex their muscles before the schedule veers in a different direction. Look for the leadership to come from veteran front seven, specifically hard-working tackles Myles Caragein and Chas Alecxih.
What Will Happen: Pitt is after more than simply a victory, which will be well in hand before the break. It wants the kind of style points that signal improved overall execution. Both sides of the ball will heed the advice and admonitions of the coaching staff, with the offense clicking in the passing game and the D missing fewer tackles. Lewis will rush for 150 yards and a pair of scores, outperforming Brown on the ground to remain among the nation's top rushers through two weeks.
CFN Prediction: Pittsburgh 48 … Maine 10

I am a photography addict. There, I said it. I don't know all the technical jargon, but am trying to learn. That side of my brain isn't where my talents lie. I think I have a pretty good eye, as 'they' say and hope you will check out my website. Drop me a line and tell me if you agree. I'm constantly looking at other photographer's work and reading about different techniques. Always trying to improve and learn new things. A fabulous and never ending journey!

The man who drowned Sunday in Centennial Park after his motorized wheelchair accidentally plunged into a lake was identified Monday as Gerard Frierdich, a well-known photographer in Belleville.
Frierdich, 51, of Belleville, was pronounced dead at 10:25 p.m. Sunday after being discovered in the lake, according to St. Clair County Coroner Rick Stone.
The cause of death was drowning and Stone called it a "tragic accident."
Frierdich, better known as Gerry or "Chief," was paralyzed from the chest down in a bicycle accident in 2007 on Green Mount Road. He had been a photographer at Crafty Eye Photography in Belleville for 20 years when the accident occurred and previously worked at the Belleville News-Democrat in the composing room.
As a quadriplegic, Frierdich drove his motorized wheelchair everywhere, according to long-time friend Sandy Gore.
"That was his lifeline outside his four walls," she said. "When the weather was nice, he wasn't home. He was everywhere. It was his freedom, instead of sitting around the house and feeling sorry for himself."
Sandy and her husband, Bud Gore, of Belleville, had known Frierdich most of their lives, since kindergarten at Cathedral Grade School.
Frierdich's younger sister, Robin Weilbacher, 48, of Millstadt, said she always looked up to her big brother, who was honest, caring and embraced adversity.
"There was never a challenge he wouldn't be up for," she said, "Even after his accident."
Weilbacher said she was grateful her brother was still able to enjoy the two great loves of his life: photography and biking.
"He was an avid cyclist, loved being fit and outside, and he was, of course, a photographer by trade," she said. "Through adaptive equipment, he was able to do both of them after this accident."
Bud Gore said that just last week, he had installed a new stereo system and camera-mounted tri-pod to Frierdich's new wheelchair.
"He was so excited about that new chair ... it takes him places his old chair couldn't go," he said.
Frierdich took photos of wildflowers and recently made an 18-month calendar, "The View from My Chair," to help pay for his new ride.
He planted seeds and rolled clay balls with wild flower seeds to distribute to others to encourage flowers to grow near the trails.
On Monday, Bud Gore wore a yellow shirt from The Gerry Frierdich Road to Recovery Bicycle Ride, a fundraiser Gore helped organize to raise money for a hand-crank bicycle and other necessities for Frierdich.
On an early Saturday morning in August 2007, Frierdich was riding a recumbent bicycle on the shoulder of South Green Mount Road on his way to The Orchards Golf Club in Belleville. A truck veered off the road and slammed into him from behind.
The driver, Keith Joseph McCoy, 30, of St. Charles, Mo., was charged with two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol and two counts of reckless conduct. He is scheduled to appear for a plea next month, according to St. Clair County court records.
Frierdich was the second-youngest of six children. He never married or had children. Instead, he lived with his parents and cared for them in their senior years. His mother, who suffered from Parkinson's disease, died shortly before Frierdich's accident.
Despite his physical disabilities, Frierdich lived alone in the house his parents had owned. Friends, family and a caretaker checked on Frierdich daily. When he did not return home for dinner Sunday night, his caretaker notified relatives.
Those closest to him knew to search local bike paths. He lived near the Skate Park in Belleville, which is adjacent to the Belleville bike trail. He usually wheeled up to the trail and rode all over town, friends said.
"His life was that bike trail," Bud Gore said.
Near the edge of the pond where Frierdich's body was found, two roots jutted out of the ground. Bud Gore said those roots probably caused Frierdich's to lose control of his chair and fall into the lake.
Police said a pair of park patrons saw part of a motorized wheelchair, and part of a body, sticking out of the water about 9:15 p.m. Sunday. Police said the shore around the pond is uneven, and it appears Frierdich's scooter went into the water accidentally.
Frierdich was strapped to the chair with a safety belt, police said. The body and the apparatus were mostly submerged.
The park is located just north of Illinois 161, about a half a mile east of Illinois 159.
