He went from working on Wall Street, to living on the streets.
Tyler Rogers lost everything because of his drug and alcohol addiction.
But now he's helping others recover.
Before becoming the executive director of Safe Harbor Easton, Tyler Rogers spent close to $80,000 on drugs in six months.
The decision took him down a dark path that included being homeless, watching his friends die from drug overdoses, and he still has a bullet in his side after a drug deal gone bad.
The saying goes, 'Don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes.'
The path for Tyler Rogers has taken many twists and turns before he became the executive director of Safe Harbor Easton.
It started at the age of 14, when his mother died in a car accident after leaving a local bar.
"I knew addiction was a major thing in life and it was going to play a part in my life," said Rogers.
Rogers never drank or did drugs growing up in his white collar Allentown neighborhood.
He actually learned about stocks from his grandmother, and started an investment club in eighth grade.
As a freshman in college, he thought, "Hey it would be cool to go to Smith Barney and pretend that I was a senior at college and start an internship."
The internship turned into a job.
That job then led Rogers to drugs and alcohol.
"I would have a couple of drinks, I'm not even 21 yet," added Rogers. "And I am at the bar with other brokers."
Rogers says he thought drinking at work was part of corporate America, but the alcohol turned to drug use.
"Oxycontin was the main drug of choice that got introduced by a friend of mine he was a nurse at the time."
A year after starting work at Smith Barney, Rogers' addiction was so evident that people didn't want to be around him.
"We don't want you to come to work anymore," said Rogers. "We still want you to work for us. You stay at your apartment and you do work from home."
Working from home didn't help him kick the habit, It only made things worse.
"What started off as 40 milligrams a day ended up 400 milligrams a day," added Rogers.
Then he started shooting heroin.
The goal was to get clean eventually.
Rogers saw it done by his father, the man he calls a role model, and who is also a recovering alcoholic.
All Tyler Rogers had to do was go to rehab.
"I'm going to spend 28 days there like he did and I'm going to be clean for the rest of my life," said Rogers. "Come out, get married, have kids, and live my life."
Tyler Rogers says it took six years before the dream of rehab became a reality.
Once he got clean, Tyler Rogers started helping others.
We'll have that part of the story tomorrow night.

Green Day: The day set aside to save the planet has become a second Halloween where we fear imaginary planetary ghouls and goblins. Greenies get the treats, but the trick has been on us.
It is appropriate that Earth Day comes a week after Tax Day, for our slavish dedication to saving the planet rather than saving jobs imposes a hidden tax on all of us in the form of reduced economic growth and rising inflation.
This Earth Day, we have more to fear from rising gas and food prices than from rising sea levels.
We have long argued that wealthier societies are healthier societies and that reducing emission levels to those desired by such entities as the U.N.'s International Panel on Climate Change and treaties like Kyoto was a recipe for global poverty.
Consider that a 2008 MIT study showed that even the carbon footprint of a homeless person in the United States is more than four times the U.N. recommendation.
Last week, after a record 92 tornadoes struck North Carolina over the weekend, a Time magazine blog seriously asked the question, "Did climate change play a role in this violent outbreak of tornadoes?"
It is such constant fearmongering that drives climate change hysteria. Consider that the worst tornado outbreak in U.S. history occurred in 1974 — the year Nixon resigned.
That was also around the time that major media outlets like Newsweek were warning of a coming Ice Age. That year, there were at least 163 tornadoes in 13 states.
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration has produced a chart showing tornado frequency fluctuating over time but in general decline even as levels of carbon dioxide increased since that record year and as improvements in storm detection, reporting and monitoring occurred.
Hurricane frequency and intensity, as well, are a natural cyclical phenomenon, made worse only by growing numbers rushing to the coasts, not fleeing from them.
Chalk this latest fear mongering next to the myth of Himalayan glaciers that were supposed to banish by 2035.
Fear is the warm-mongers' stock in trade. Facts are not. But they lead us to do things like ban offshore drilling to save the fruitful and multiplying polar bears and to put corn in our gas tanks in the form of ethanol.
This only drives up demand for corn and food prices while the gas used to get to the supermarket soars in price as well.
We are still looking for the 50 million climate refugees the United Nations Environmental Program predicted in 2005 would be fleeing coastal areas and soon-to-be-submerged islands by 2010. At last report, the coastal cities to be affected are booming in population, as are the islands that are still well above sea level.
As Indur M. Goklany of the Cato Institute wrote recently in the New York Post: "Climate-change remedies can lead to greater poverty, starvation and disease, as well as widespread ecological destruction — some of the very misfortunes that they're supposed to prevent. In our haste to address global warming, we have yet to think seriously about our policies' unintended effects."
Certainly the war on fossil fuels and energy consumption in general lead to reduced economic growth and lower standards of living.
It is based on the irrational fear that carbon dioxide, the product of human respiration and the basis of all life on Earth, is a dangerous pollutant.
These days the U.N. is seriously considering a proposed treaty granting human rights to the planet itself.
This is being pushed by those who consider the human beings on the planet a plague upon Gaia, the Earth goddess, and that efforts to reduce their numbers are to be encouraged.
These are the inmates that are running the global warming asylum. Boo!

1951 Bowman Willie Mays #305 PSA Mint 9....

Claim Item:Share this lot
Description1951 Bowman Willie Mays #305 PSA Mint 9. The hobby owes a debt of gratitude to its "High Numbers." Although the various issues' scarcer series pose obstacles to set-builders, and are sometimes viewed with cynicism (where it appeared that manufacturers were attempting to squeeze just a bit more revenue from a season's effort) the role of the "High's" is a very substantial one.
In the waning days of Bowman's 1951 production, for instance, there must have been quite a bit of temptation to put the release to bed following the approval of card #252. Why commission another round of the issue's original paintings - and incur the additional expense - when Ted Williams, Yogi Berra, and most of the popular Brooklyn Dodgers' line-up had already been covered? Plus, it was almost time for Football...
But a group of "High Numbers" saved the day, allowing Bowman to achieve comprehensiveness in its offering by rectifying a number of conspicuous omissions. The "High's" spared the modern collecting industry from pretending to be satisfied with a set that culminated in a Dixie Howell collectible and, more significantly, enabled the production of Willie Mays' "true" rookie card.
The importance of Willie Mays' '51 Bowman card is difficult to overstate. How could any responsibly prepared group of gum cards from the time ignore one of the finest talents that would ever be made manifest on the diamond, and remain viable? Fortunately, that's one hypothetical question that never needs to be answered. Mays' first card is a majestic one - a piece that properly reminds everyone who views it of his greatness - and a suitable example is mandatory for inclusion in a serious assembly of 1950s treasures.
Here is one of the very best 1951 Bowman Mays cards on earth, a specimen that shares its stratospheric tier with just seven counterparts (none higher) within a sizeable cohort of nearly 1,000 PSA-holdered examples. Its pristine character incorporates a phenomenal image, and more than fifty years of existence to this point have brought about no perceptible effects of exposure to circulation, dust, or light. Further, it should go without saying, but to emphasize: absolutely no vestige of the customary obverse trace-line so often observed in '51 Bowman can be seen in this paragon copy. Satisfying rough cuts at the top and bottom edges provide indisputable evidence that the piece has escaped handling (in all of its deleterious forms) since the moment of striking.

Google apps getting more Wave-y interface?
Could all of Google's web applications be getting an interface refresh that would make them more like Google Wave? Screenshots published by Engadget appear to suggest that may be that case, though it's not clear how far the changes are away.
In Wave, it's possible to collapse and expand modules like the navigation bar, contacts window, inbox or individual Waves, as well as minimizing them to the top of the screen to appear as a drop-down menu. The screenshots appear to depict the same setup applied to Gmail, and Google News.
Apparently "the goal is to provide a consistent experience throughout all Google Apps and blur the line between the browser and the website (e.g. drag and drop, right-click, etc)". That could imply a similar interface for Chrome OS too, as well as future Google products.
We'll bring you more on this when we hear it.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
I first found this book a year or two ago and it left me reeling because I'd never read anything so dark.
It tells the story of a young prince over two time periods. At one point he is 10 years old and has just seen his mother and younger brother brutally murdered in front of him. Trapped in a thorn bush that tears his skin to the bone he is eventually found only to discover, after a brutal and hellish recovery, that his father has sold peace to their killers. Completely and utterly betrayed he finds a new path open to him and this is the second part of our story.
Four years on he has amassed a band of cut throats who are his road brothers and share with him the bonds that only men who have killed together can share. They are heading back to the kingdom ruled by Jorg's father in order to confirm his being alive and his place in the line of succession for the new Queen is ready to pop.
Through both parts of the story we hear the improbable tale of how a boy of 10 could possibly earn the respect and fear of some of the most feared killers in the land. That he does it without them knowing he is a Prince makes it even more galling but we as reader quickly learn that to challenge or question Jorg is not a smart thing to do and would most likely be the last thing you do.
I think I was initially stunned by not just the sheer audacity of Jorg and his horrific actions but by the fact that I was on his side. Knowing from Mark that he was modelled on Alex from Clockwork Orange makes a lot of sense, but I also found him and his situation reminding me of George Martins character Sandor Clegane The Hound. There is a sense that he was very much forged by the actions of those around him, and rather than wallow in pity, he has acknowledged the way the world is and decided he is going to survive in it.
He takes umbrage at the thought that he might still be doing something as unambitious as merely rousting villages by his fifteenth birthday declaring "By the time fifteen came around I'd be king". In a world we every breath could be your last, I found this over confidence to the point of recklessness an attractive trait. He is past mere motivation, as though his path is set, his decisions made and his fate sealed. It seems watching your brother killed whilst you are impaled on thorns and unable to help removes the chance of sympathy or mercy being shown and I was completely on board with Jorg as he moved through the world like a tornado that would destroy one house but leave the one next to it completely untouched. Did I feel sorry for those innocents that were caught in his path? Yes. The thing is he is an undeniable force of nature and as it is written in first person it's hard not to empathise with him as you are in his head. In the hands of a less skilled writer Jorg would be a horrible prick with no redeeming features and the book would be a pile of steaming poop. He is a horrible prick but, at the same time, one of my favourite characters and definitely one of my favourite books
This is a must read and the start of a fantastic series of three books called The Broken Empire series. His next series is The Red Queen's War and the first book Prince of Fools is available and the second book is coming out very soon.
This review and more like it can be at www.areadingmachine.com
I do like some grim or dark fantasy but this I didn't really like, Jorg, the main character is a complete psychopath who leaves a trail of corpses in his wake and there were no real characters I could root for in this. Most of them were just scary. I get it that he was broken by his past and his experiences but he just has no impulse control whatsoever.
Jorg lives in a future where the apocalypse happened, it's very distantly in the past (reminded me of the Shanara chronicles for that); there are remnants of the past, of the builders, but they're legend. Jorg reads and understands more than people give him credit for and he's only a teenager. In certain ways he is how he is because he hasn't seen anything else, but also he's a psychopath.
I just didn't care about him, if he had died at the end I would have been indifferent and because of this I will probably not be reading on with this series.
An interesting take on the whole "Prince seeks his father's throne" story. Certainly different enough in its realism to catch you and keep you reading to see what happens next. It makes me curious about how Jorg progresses in the next two books in the series
I picked up Prince of Thorns in a discount book shop while on holiday. The first couple of pages grabbed my attention, so I bought it. I knew absolutely nothing about the controversy stirred by some of the main character, Jorg Ancrath's actions. In fact, much of what appears to be bothering other people didn't even make me blink. It's a fantasy novel set in a future where wars and skirmishes are rife. The bloodshed and rapes that Lawrence writes about do, unfortunately, happen during times of conflict and tension.
What did bother me is the shambolic plot and what appears to be a total lack of editing. Was this book rushed to the shelves?
The plot has three distinct episodes, the first of which is by far the best and most coherently written, after which the editor went for lunch and never returned. By the second phase when Jorg returns home to his father's castle the use of contrived plot devices if starting to get out of hand. These excruciatingly painful backwards-facing devices appear to be peppered in because the author had only just thought up how to get his hero, or anti-hero as some might view him, out of a tight spot. 'I saw some tar back there, we can make lamps.' Oh really? You never mentioned that tar on passing. How convenient. And so it goes on.
There is also the saga of the magical sword. No, Jorg's sword does not hold any magical powers, but it keeps mysteriously reappearing in his hand. When he leaves it somewhere it is in the next scene, with no hint that he's retrieved it. Given to someone else…never retrieved. Burnt to a cinder…oops, and there it is again, all shiny and new.
The list of discrepancies goes on and on. Location is another hic-up. They're here, then there. Highly confusing. People do strange things as well. Characters are standing, fighting; then suddenly dismounting their steed within the space of two paragraphs within the same fast paced scene. Excuse me, but when did he get back on his horse?
These devices and lack of respect for the reader made me feel as if anyone reading this book is being mocked as an idiot who would never notice these things.
The hugely disappointing thing about this novel is that Mark Lawrence has some amazing turns of phrase, and sharp wit. It was these two things alone that kept me reading. I enjoyed his clever phrases; and Jorg's internal dialogue that portrayed the youth's character so extremely well. Now I understand what makes poor Jorgy tick.
Will I read the next book in the series? I'm not sure. As much as I love Lawrence's style I don't know if I have the stamina to keep flicking back through pages to get to grips with another poorly constructed plot; which is a shame, because with some decent editing The Prince of Thorns would be a notch above the ordinary.
Prince of Thorns is without a doubt the most original and most memorable fantasy debut of 2011. It's difficult to imagine how another book could top this one
"This is a lean, cold knife-thrust of a novel, a revenge fantasy anchored on the compelling voice and savage purpose of its titular Prince. There is never a safe moment in Lawrence's debut"
"Dark and relentless, the Prince of Thorns will pull you under and drown you in story. A two in the morning page turner."
The Prince of Thorns is an apt title for young Jorg - as a character he is not heroic at all. He is twisted and violent, calculating and merciless. Yet I couldn't stop reading - regardless how many times Lawrence's brilliant descriptions made me wince and clasp my hand to my mouth in disbelief. It was freaking awesome!
Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence is the best fantasy read I've had since Alan Campbell's Scar Night. It got hold of me from page one and didn't let go...

When he was nine, he watched his mother and brother killed before him. By the time he was thirteen, he was the leader of a band of bloodthirsty thugs. By fifteen, he intends to be king... It's time for Prince Honorous Jorg Ancrath to return to the castle he turned his back on, to take what's rightfully his. Since the day he was hung on the thorns of a briar patch and forced to watch Count Renar's men slaughter his mother and young brother, Jorg has been driven to vent his rage. Life and death are no more than a game to him-and he has nothing left to lose. But treachery awaits him in his father's castle. Treachery and dark magic. No matter how fierce, can the will of one young man conquer enemies with power beyond his imagining?… (more)

Welcome to Avalon! Since you are a relatively new member, I thought to mention that the 2nd sun idea has been debated/discussed quite a bit. You might want to research what's gone...

Good things can happen too,...
I did not know that, Bluegreen.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/03/14 -- (DEMO Enterprise 2014) -- Grene Robotics [www.grenerobotics.com] today announced the launch of BlueFlock.com at DEMO Enterprise 2014, world-renowned for launching the most innovative companies in enterprise, mobile, cloud computing, consumer, and social media technologies.
BlueFlock.com helps enterprises evolve from traditional data collection methods by leveraging mobile technology. Data collected using mobile devices is 96% accurate which in turn yields more valuable, effective and actionable operational intelligence. Founder Kiran Raju is leading enterprises into the mobile era by eliminating the paper trail at multiple levels within an organization's structure leveraging intuitive mobile technology. Over the past three years, the team has developed an agile platform capable of tailoring solutions to customers' unique business needs.
"We are excited to launch BlueFlock.com at Demo," stated Kiran Raju, Founder and CEO of Grene Robotics. "It's hard to believe information ranging from aircraft maintenance records to patient discharge reports are captured on paper today.

BlueFlock.com is a horizontal product that has successfully transformed enterprise operations across varied verticals, such as Utility, Aerospace, Infrastructure, Manufacturing and Services, to list a few. The platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with existing legacy enterprise systems. Strategic partnerships such as SAMSUNG enterprise alliance program and SAP HANA real time databases help enhance the value proposition to existing customers.
Grene Robotics will provide a live, four-minute demonstration of BlueFlock.com on the DEMO Enterprise 2014 stage on April 3rd, 2014 at 3:30pm PDT and will host live demonstrations beginning today at Booth D27 in the DEMO Enterprise 2014 pavilion.
"After traveling the country and vetting hundreds of companies on the DEMO Tour, we are excited to select Grene Robotics to be one of the 27 companies launching new products solving big problems at DEMO Enterprise," said Erick Schonfeld, executive producer of DEMO.
Grene Robotics was founded in Hyderabad, India in 2008 with a vision of being a global leader in mobility & M2M solutions. Its primary objective is to assist organizations to effectively use their existing resources at the highest levels of productivity, thereby reducing their operating costs and lowering their carbon footprints.

Hands-on: Canon PowerShot N100 goes whacky with front and rear cameras
Canon continues to let its N-series engineers run wild with their imaginations with the release of the PowerShot N100. And we got to test it out at the Consumer Electronics Show 2014 in Las Vegas.
Unlike the square form PowerShot N that came before it, the N100 looks like a relatively normal compact camera at first glance. And that viewfinder-esque shape on the rear is actually a second camera. Which sort of makes the N100 a "camera camera".
Almost like the stills version of the Panasonic W850 camcorder, the N100 makes it possible to snap selfies while you're shooting whatever is in front of you. The resulting shot is then positioned in the corner of the main shot automatically.
READ: Panasonic W850 hands-on
But just like that Panasonic, that's rather silly, isn't it? The second camera isn't able to deliver full-size images to utilise separately, and this is assuming you want to take constant selfies in the first place. The feature can be switched off altogether from within the menus and there are options for different sizes and placements if you want to be more experimental with the results.
As the rear screen is on a vertical tilt-angle bracket it's possible to position it for waist-level work. Perfect for adding in a shot-from-below double chin level.
As much as we mock there are plenty of features on board that make the N100 sound like an attractive camera, such as the f/1.8 maximum aperture at 24mm and built-in Wi-Fi. But just like the first N model we don't really feel an affinity with what the camera is about. The build is all glossy plastic, it comes in a white finish only and its main point of interest is also the one we don't see the necessity for.
In terms of operation it's able to cater for point-and-shoot tasks with relative ease, although the autofocus isn't as lightning fast as some of the higher-spec Canon compact models. It's still good enough, though, as we found out when snapping around a dimly lit conference hall.
A fun experiment, but given the £349 price it's one we find somewhat baffling.

Decent board Donna from Garland, TX on 06/10/2014 – Verified Buyer
I was a little leery of this board since it's a new material for me as a cutting surface. I shouldn't have been. It seems to work well, though it does show the cuts where you've used it, and I think they tend to mar the piece more than they would a lighter colored board. I've only had it a short period of time, but the size is good. I'm not a big fan of the feet on the piece since it keeps it from reversing sides, but I do have it in front of all my other cutting boards right now, so that must not be bugging me too much. Another concern I had was whether the chops would reverberate because of the type/hardness of the wood. So far they don't seem to, and the feet aren't contributing to that either. I'm sensitive to that since I have problems with my hands, but so far it's not been a factor. I would recommend this board. Handsome, versatile and does what it was meant to do. I've only had it a short time, so I can't attest to its longevity, but if you take care of it and don't soak it in water, it should last.
Great natural edge cutting board. curtis from kissimmee, FL on 04/06/2015 – Verified Buyer
Have to admit, I didn't get this board to cut anything on, it's for photography only, and the natural edge is exactly what I was looking for. Cons: Well, the plastic band that was on the board (that contains info, copyright, etc.) actually left a stain on the board. I was only interested in the edges though, so not a problem for me.
Great Board Anna from New Jersey on 07/05/2015 – Verified Buyer
This is a rustic board that will update the style of your kitchen. It goes very well with the Cucina dishes and serving pieces. It makes a nice display for entertaining, too. It also can work as a huge trivet.

A woman who had to have surgery after an alleged rape by a high-profile Waikato businessman was yesterday grilled by the man's lawyer over changes she made to her evidence.
The trial of the man began in the Hamilton District Court yesterday where he pleaded not guilty to one charge of unlawful sexual connection via rape.
The alleged victim, while under examination by Crown prosecutor Louella Dunn, said that she was raped by the businessman in 2009, part way through consensual sexual intercourse.
The accused has interim name suppression.
"We were talking in the bedroom . . . We were talking and he was asking me for sex," she said.
"I said no I can't give you sex because it's not right . . . "
"He asked me for a quick one . . . [he's] touching me slowly and I couldn't refuse that one, so I said a quick one because I've got to go to work."
She explained that during the sex she felt a "gush" from her genitals. When she looked down she noticed she was bleeding.
She then asked him to stop because it was hurting her.
"He doesn't care, he just keeps going."
The woman said she told the man he was hurting her. She said the man told her he wanted to orgasm.
She said she asked the man to stop three times, but he continued.
The woman couldn't remember if she helped change the sheets on the bed with the man, but remembered having a shower then going to the guest room to lie down in the hope the pain in her abdomen and ribs would cease.
She said she passed out for 10 minutes and awoke because she couldn't breathe properly.
She crawled back to the room to seek help from the businessman but the door was locked.
"I keep knocking [for] him to help me . . . [there] is no response from [the] room."
The woman was later taken to hospital in an ambulance where she spent five days after having surgery to repair the damage.
During cross-examination, the man's lawyer, Paul Mabey QC, questioned her evidence.
Mabey said that the series of events the woman described did not match her signed statements to the police and the court in 2009.
Mabey asked the woman to read out her statement to the court. In her statement, the woman did not tell police that the door to the bedroom where the business man was had been locked when she sought help.
"Did you go to his bedroom door and bang on it to wake him up but he did not wake up, what happened?"
The woman answered: "He did not answer, no reply at all, I ask, 'help'."
"But he had just been in your room," Mabey said, referring to her statement that the man had entered the room where the woman went after sex.
"To ask how you were and to give you a blanket?" Mabey said.
"Yes," she replied. "Because I am shaking."
Mabey then asked if she'd ever said the door was locked before.
"Yes because I open the knob and I can't open it," she replied.
But Mabey said there was never any mention of that in her initial statements, and continued to press her on the issue.
The woman broke down saying she tried the door at the time. She was in extreme pain, but did not receive help from the man.
Mabey also pointed out differences in the way in which the sexual act occurred and the order of the events she described.
The trial, before a judge, continues today.
