DIY Home Security: 21 Experts Share Their Top Tips on How to Install a Home Security System Yourself
by SSF | Last Updated Mar. 2nd, 2016
Aside from food on the table and a roof over your head, one of the absolute most important things to have in one's home in order to have peace of mind is the feeling of safety in the case of intruders.
While some homeowners are able to spend lots of money for a complex, professionally installed security system in order to address this, the reality is that some homeowners are either unable or unwilling to do the same, especially when there are many do-it-yourself (DIY) home security system options available on the market today.
So, as a company that strives to provide the best home safety information for families and homeowners, we took on the task of finding out more about the do-it-yourself home security installation process, and more specifically, we aimed to gather tips directly from security experts on what to do and what not to do when installing a DIY home security system. To do this, we asked 21 home security experts to answer this question:
"What's the most important tip you have for homeowners who want to install a DIY home security system?"
We've collected and compiled their expert advice into this comprehensive guide to effectively installing a DIY home security system. See what our experts said below:
Meet Our Panel of DIY Home Security Experts:
Steven J. Coppola
Steve Coppola is President of APB Security Systems Inc., and has had over thirty years experience in the security industry. This experience includes actual "hands on" installation of security systems, supervision of residential and large commercial/industrial installations, performing security surveys of both residential and commercial properties, coordinating alarm and security installations with contractors providing other services at both new construction sites and large renovation sites, etc. Mr. Coppola holds a Baccalaureate Degree in Behavioral Science, majoring in Criminal Justice. In addition to his experience in the field of security, he spent several years as a law enforcement officer.
The most important tip I have for homeowners who want to install a DIY home security system is…
Don't automatically assume that do it yourself systems are less expensive.
In an industry where most licensed professionals routinely offer free or highly discounted installations in return for a central station monitoring commitment, consider the benefits.
You can have the system designed effectively and installed by an experienced technician, whereby helping to insure that it works when needed while also reducing the risk of false
And since 24 hour monitoring, by a licensed and U.L. approved facility, averages only about $1 per day, the choice to leave security to the professionals is that much easier.

The most important tip for homeowners installing a DIY home security system would be…
To invest in securing all main entrance points and all ground floor windows and doors.
More than 50% of home invasions are occurring through first floor entry points. Additionally, if you're investing in an alarm system, test it to ensure all sensors are working, and you have the proper batteries for each device – and change them as needed.
As we're approaching cooler temperatures with fall right around the corner – many of us want to turn off the air conditioning and leave our windows open so cool air can flow in. Motion sensing alarms are a great addition to a home security system when windows are left open.
The SABRE home series – which can be found in Target stores nationwide or online at our website, offers several motion sensing alarms that will sound a 120 decibel siren when activated – that can be heard up to 300 feet away! The benefits of using wireless or standalone alarms are many. Homeowners will be able to avoid expensive monthly fees, wiring installation costs, and still receive an excellent level of protection.
When alarms sound at 120 decibels, you and any neighbors or people living in the vicinity of your home are woken up – but most importantly, now the intruder knows that if you're home you are now awake. We know intruders want the path of least resistance and an alert homeowner with noisy alarms is not an easy target.

Good news! Setting up a home security system doesn't need to cost thousands, or even hundreds of dollars like it did a few years ago. But when choosing a do-it-yourself home security system, I have a few words of advice…
You not only want to choose a system that fits your budget and has the devices you need most, but you also need to consider costs for upgrading your system and if they have enough products to fit your future needs as most people end up expanding on their current system if they are happy with it.
Because there is no set standard, most home security systems are setup on closed platforms so you are locked into whichever system you choose. It's always best to go with a larger company that has a significant investment in the home security category and isn't just rushing to put a product on the shelves that they might discontinue in 6 months.
Also verify all costs including anything for setup, ongoing monthly fees and tech support.
Shep and Nancy Bryan
Shep and Nancy Bryan are the Co-Founders and Owners of Maximum Security Safes and Casoro Jewelry Safes, two California-based providers of safes and vaults of all types and sizes. Since both of their companies are family owned and operated businesses, Shep and Nancy Bryan have a vested interest in offering the best service and safe products for homeowners to feel confident that their most valuable possession are secure in their home.
The most important tip homeowners should keep in mind for their home security systems is…
Make sure to have a fail-safe in case the worst should happen.
In the event that parts of a security system should fail, the last line of defense for any home security system should be your safe. This means you have already implemented other lines of defense to deter a burglar, such as a dog with a good bark, signs saying you have an alarm system, and of course your actual alarm system.
If you want to take your security system a step further, you can also sync your safe with your alarm system, by adding a Duress Alarm Interface. This way, in case of a home invasion, if the burglar tries to get you to open your safe, you can enter an alternate code, which will open the safe, but notify your security company at the same time!
Most importantly, it's crucial to invest in a good quality safe to secure your valuables. Not just any old safe will do; we've heard many sad stories about cheap safes that failed during robberies; so, contact a safe specialty store to ensure you make your safe purchase right the first time. Also consider fire protection, to ensure security for your valuables against fire as well as burglary. A good quality safe should last you a lifetime.

Sollars at his blog, www.todays-training.com.
I believe the one tip that I would pass along to anyone who wants to install their own system is…
Do your research and shop around.
That sounds like a cliché, but let me elaborate on it. A homeowner needs to know the difference between a sensor and an alarm (yes there is a difference). They also need to know several things about range of their alarms/sensors. And they need to know that just because it's more expensive/cheaper doesn't necessarily mean that it's better for them.
The biggest difference in alarms/sensors is alarms will sound an alarm, silent or audible. Sensors will simply tell you that something happened. For a home security system you need an alarm sensor that sounds an alarm, either silently or audible (preferable). The range of one of these is also important.
You don't want to think that you can place it at maximum range of efficiency and expect to perform optimally. You may need more than one. And lastly, if you go to a home security store or a place like Radio Shack remember they will try to sell you the most expensive they have. Hardware stores have many of the same items at a much cheaper price and efficiency.
Again, the key is research. What do you want it do and when.

Here are 3 important tips for homeowners considering a DIY system:
1. Decide on a place where you can hide your main keypad – most people think it needs to be visible by the front door but you should put it somewhere like a closet or kitchen counter and use the key fobs (or your smart phone) to arm/disarm.
2. Look for a system that can grow with you as you grown and/or move – one of the many great benefits of DIY systems is that they are wireless and thus, easier to relocate when you move.
3. Don't be afraid to ask question – and don't feel stupid if you don't understand how to set something up. Their technicians are patient, understanding and are there to help guide you, so don't worry if you are unsure – you want to make sure you get it right so the system works property!

I would say the mistake I see when homeowners install home security systems is that…
They don't always get cameras that can work in all types of light.
Cameras that give great images during the day don't always show anything useful at night and vice versa, e.g., cameras that point into direct sunlight show washed-out images. Related to that is the image itself; the need for a high-quality image, that can be captured to a DVR and printed as a screen shot and given to the cops following a burglary or other incident is critical.
Fuzzy, blurry, grainy shots that can't help the cops identify the face clearly are useless. I've seen camera images where it's hard to identify if it is a mammal!

Regardless of who installs your home security system or however many features your system may offer, it is important to keep these two very significant factors in mind…
1. Your alarm is not designed to prevent something from happening. It is designed to alert you to the fact that something IS happening.
2. Have and rehearse a plan for what you and your family are going to do if/when your alarm goes off.
You very likely just spent a considerable amount of money to buy yourself the precious seconds needed when moments matter most. Most people spend a considerable amount of time researching and investing in the best system to alert them of danger. Very few ask the follow-up question of what they should do when something does.
Do yourself a favor and have your family emergency plan in place BEFORE the alarm first sounds. Have a plan, know where to go, and know how to get there.

WARGROVE is a company that provides various types of training, with its main focus on Home Defense Assessments, which involve a comprehensive 75-point inspection and develop an Action Plan for homeowners on how to improve overall security of their home.
The most important tip I have for homeowners who want to install a DIY home security system is…
Keep it simple.
Having been a police officer for many years I saw a lot of burglaries in houses that had alarm systems but the alarm systems were not on at the time of the burglary. The number one excuse I would get from the homeowner or family members was the alarm system was too complicated to operate. It came down to usually a few family members not comfortable on how to operate the security systems.
With technology today it has never been easier to install and operate your own custom alarm system. To make the system works, as it should, it is crucial that homeowners just keep it simple. Discuss with all family members the options and figure out what system works best for your entire family. The DIY home security systems available today provide plenty options.
Find one that is simple to install, easy to use for all family members, has a low monthly (no contract) monitoring fee, and is expandable if your needs change. Follow these simple guidelines and you will have a positive experience and meet your main goal, a more secure home for your family.
Elizabeth Dodson
Elizabeth Dodson is the Co-Founder of HomeZada, a cloud-based home improvement and organizational software tool. HomeZada strives to educate and provide resources for homeowners in all areas of home management, including home improvement projects, maintenance, inventory, property information, and property value.
The most important tip homeowners can have when selecting and installing a DIY home security system is to…
Understand what your home's needs are as well as what will give you peace of mind.
A homeowner can install a simple security system with an alarm to scare off intruders or invest a bit more by having your system connect with an outside call center that will alert the appropriate authorities to the situation.
If you travel a lot and will feel safer about your possessions, then connecting to an outside center to notify the appropriate people might be best system to make sure your home and its possessions are cared for and someone is able to get to you home immediately.

My advice to a first time homeowners looking to install a DIY security system is…
To get a monitored alarm system for burglary and fire protection.
A DIY product doesn't necessarily have 24/7 monitoring by a professional alarm company that can dispatch; the fire and police departments as well as medical emergency ambulances with the push of a call for help button in a few spots around the home.
Monitored alarms are very inexpensive compared to the cost of your home and they get you a nice insurance discount. They are offered in basic protection models and the new technology smartphone operated model called iBridge by NAPCO. When doing a basic DIY installation, you may install a few smoke detectors and a carbon monoxide detector, but please be aware that you've got to be home to hear these ring and you must call the fire department and that's not always possible!
Here are some general home safety tips to always keep in mind:
1. Don't hide your keys. Many burglaries don't require forcible entry.
2. Know Your Neighbors. Friendly, caring neighbors are your first line of defense. Watch out for suspicious activity.
3. Trim hedges so no windows or doors are obscured. Make sure all potential entry points are well lit.
4. Lock your doors and windows at all times, including the garage door. Don't leave keys outside. Store ladders or "stepping stones" inside so there is no availability to a window or roof. Install dead bolts on doors.
5. Give the impression your "in" even when you're not. Leaving a light, television or radio on will give the impression someone is home. .
6. Set and activate lights, radio or TV on a timer so they switch on and off regularly. If you're working late or eating out, it will look like someone is home.
7. At your local retailer, buy a combination outdoor motion detector and light unit, so the outside light turns on if someone approaches a front or back door.
8. Leave blinds and shades in their normal positions. Burglars are attracted to homes with windows that remain covered day and night.
9. Change the answering machine message from "Nobody's home right now" to "We can't get to the phone right away."
10. Disable or turn down the ringers so unanswered rings won't be heard from outside.
11. Post a "Beware of Dog" sign or advertise your security system, regardless of whether you have one.
12. Keep valuables out of sight and refrain from the predictable hiding places such as in dresser drawers, the freezer, under the mattress and in the cookie jar. Engrave your driver's license on valuables.
13. Know whom you are opening the door for. Use the peephole for security to identify visitors.
14. Apartment dwellers should opt for the best safety measures you can afford, and that includes professional and unobtrusive security such as a bellman, electronic card access, security guards and video surveillance.
15. Be sure there is plenty of exterior light so you can see and things can be seen.

Norm has over 30 years of experience in technology deployment, operations and productivity development, systems development and integration for many small companies and large corporations across multiple industries.
For those individuals who are procuring new DIY security systems, we recommend the following…
1. Make sure you can get your money back if it doesn't work for you (minimum: 7 day return – 100% money back)
2. The system should be easy to install / setup (hardware and software) and easy to operate.
a. If the instructions are too hard to understand out-of-the-box, send it back immediately!
3. System must have a battery backup capability that can last 3-7 days and an alternative calling / notification capability (i.e. internet notifications, cellular)
4. Newer system should provide you with the option to send you an alarm directly (SMS and/or email) or to a central station monitoring service (or both)
5. System should be capable of sending transactions to third party systems (i.e. door sensors to energy management system).

Joseph Kingma is the Vice President of Medeco eCylinders and ASSA ABLOY High Security and Aftermarket Group Special Projects. Joseph began his career at Medeco in 1994 and in 2006, he shifted into a role to create and lead a multifunctional group with the primary purpose of quickly introducing new and highly sophisticated electronic cylinder products in order to keep pace with the rapidly changing landscape of physical security. Under Joseph's leadership, Medeco developed four different eCylinder platforms, each aimed at solving a specific segment of customer issues. eCylinders are now used to solve many "loss-and-liability" challenges that neither traditional mechanical cylinders nor traditional access control hardware could.
The most important tip I have for homeowners who are looking into installing a DIY home security system is…
Don't overlook your key system!
Most homeowners don't understand how easily most keys can be duplicated, and the risk of that duplication without their knowledge. If keys are not based on a patented technology – either mechanical or electronic – anyone with temporary access to the key can make a copy and enter the home without anyone's knowledge since mechanical keys don't leave an audit trail.
Ask a security professional about the options available especially the new electronic keys that allow homeowners to monitor when keys are used and limit the time they work.
Sarah Leary
Sarah Leary is the Co-Founder and Vice President of Marketing at Nextdoor, the free and private social network for neighborhoods. Sarah started her career at Microsoft, and served as the Vice President of Product and Marketing at Epinions and Shopping.com, before the company was sold to eBay. Sarah graduated from Harvard University with a BA and MBA.
At Nextdoor, we have seen that neighbors who know each other, look out for each other and help stop crime before it happens. The most important tip I have for homeowners who want to put together their own home security system is…
Start by building a safer neighborhood by connecting neighbors to one another so they can share timely information and protect themselves.
Once neighbors connect with each other, they can easily share alerts, photos of suspicious activity, and video surveillance snippets from home security systems that can help neighbors stay on the lookout. We designed Nextdoor to make it easy for neighbors to sign-up, verify their address, and create a safe place to share these important safety updates.
Some things you can do with Nextdoor are:
- Send an urgent alert via email and text message to all neighbors about suspicious activity
- Share a photo with neighbors of a suspicious vehicle
- Warn neighbors about natural disasters and connect about recovery efforts
- Upload surveillance footage of a burglar to keep neighbors on the look-out
Robert Siciliano
Robert Siciliano is the CEO of IDTheftSecurity.com, and a Personal Security and Identity Theft Expert and Speaker. He is fiercely committed to informing, educating, and empowering Americans so they can be protected from violence and crime in the physical and virtual worlds.
The most important aspect of any DIY that I would stress to homeowners is…
The initial research.
There are numerous products for every budget and sifting through the various options
to determine what you need and don't will save time and money.
Adam Justice
Adam Justice is Vice President and General Manager of Grid Connect, a manufacturer and distributor of networking products and wireless sensors. He is responsible for developing the vision for the ConnectSense product line, a family of wireless sensors that monitor the things you care about and notify you when something goes awry. Adam is an expert on the Internet of Things and has spoken on the topic at conferences including Dreamforce. Adam started his career at Accenture where he was a consultant working on systems and IT projects for a number of Fortune 500 companies throughout the country. Adam left Accenture in 2009 to join Grid Connect.
The most important tip I have for homeowners who want to install a DIY home security system is…
First, don't allow strangers inside your home.
With a DIY security system there is no reason to let a stranger into your home for installation purposes. In less than 30 minutes using only a screwdriver, you can mount a sensor anywhere in your home. They are designed to run off of wall current and some models use batteries as well.
The next step is to set up if/ then notification rules i.e. if the door opens between 11PM and 6 AM, alert me. Alerts can take the form of a text, tweet, email or call depending upon your preference.
It is also important to look at one costs associated with security systems. Monthly recurring fees add up quickly and make some systems cost prohibitive. Look for DIY monitoring systems that leverage your existing Wi-Fi connect to cut out monthly fees.
Kevin Raposo
Kevin Raposo is a Blogger for SimpliSafe, a wireless DIY home security company, where he primarily writes about home security, technology, and crime. When he's not blogging for SimpliSafe, he's writing for his own tech blog, KnowTechie.
One of the most important tips I can offer homeowners who want to install a DIY home security system is…
Don't be afraid to ask questions and explore the system.
One of the most important aspects of installing your own home security system is the actual installation its self. Make sure all of the sensors are adhered or screwed into a wall or door to prevent any false alarms. False alarms can be frustrating, but at the end, it's usually due to installation.
On other major important tip I can offer, which is never mentioned: Have a conversation with your local police about their policy with alarm systems, and start that dialogue so you know 1) permits 2) false alarms 3) dispatch procedure etc.
Keith Brandon
Keith Brandon is the Sales and Marketing Director for residential access solutions with Spectrum Brands HHI division. Keith oversees all of the residential electronic lock strategies and initiatives across North America for the market leading residential lock brands of Baldwin, Kwikset, and Weiser locks. This includes Kevo, the first to market Bluetooth enabled residential door lock. He is also responsible for the company's Home Connect products that deliver industry leading integrated Zigbee and Z Wave lock solutions to the emerging and expanding home automation and security markets.
The most important tips I can offer homeowners who want to install their own home security system is…
Be a smart homeowner.
Consider your current lifestyle and the needs of your family when choosing any home security system. For example, do you travel often? Do you have children that arrive home from school while you are away? Do you have service personnel that need access to the home at predetermined times?
These considerations will help inform your decision and could set one system ahead of the rest. The purchase decision of a home security system is often an emotional one, so trust your instincts and educate yourself on what's best for you and your family. If you feel the system is safe and trustworthy to meet your needs, and if it can be demonstrated for ease of use and a user-friendly process, you can rely on smart home technology to ensure you and your family are safe and secure.
Greg Davis
Greg Davis is the CEO and Founder/Creator of The Lock Locker, a new patented safety device for families that helps stop criminals from unlocking your door locks by preventing bump keys, 3D printed keys, stolen keys and other unauthorized keys from trying to gain access to your home.
Making your home harder to get into is the MOST important thing you can do to protect your family. My advice to homeowners who want to install their own home security system is…
All doors MUST be secured with an additional lock from the inside that can not be accessed by someone on the outside.
The #1 safety mistake 99% of families are making is assuming that simply locking ones deadbolt and door handle is enough. In truth locking ones door provides zero security to criminals or anyone who may have a copy of that homes key. Criminals are buying "Bump Keys" online and they open 90% of locks.
Also there is a new threat to home security: 3D Printed keys, where anyone is able to digitize a house key with an app on their smart phone and then have it 3D printed. This key is an EXACT copy of the original house key and entering the home will be quick and quiet, which is exactly what criminals are look for.
Our patented invention called The Lock Locker prevents ANYONE from unlocking ones deadbolt EVEN IF THEY HAVE A KEY TO YOUR HOME.
Richard Mangahas
Richard Mangahas spent the last 8 years working in home automation and security in Orange County. Regarding security, Richard specifically specialized in physical security and access control. Richard now primarily works as an engineer, and available for private consultation at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I have many years of experience working with homeowners who want to install their own home security systems. The first thing I used to tell all clients is…
There is no magic security system. The most important security elements are things well within your control.
Second, security begins with common sense and basics. No security system makes up for bad habits.
- Lock your door when inside the house
- Lock your door when outside the house
- Lock your windows
I am surprised at how many people leave doors unlocked. The Bureau of Justice Statistics lists 1,033,980 incidents where entry was gained by an open or unlocked windows (Table 7). It's nearly 1/3 of all burglaries.
– Use your peephole and don't let anyone in you weren't expecting.
The same report shows 129,770 cases of an offender being let into the house. That's 32,000 crimes that could have been prevented by simply not opening the door. I usually suggest the DIY-er to install a camera and intercom at the door. This way you can see the person and converse with them if you wished. Some advanced versions of this have the intercom call your cell phone so even if you're away, it seems like you are not.
– Get things that make noise
I usually suggest some electronics that sound like a dog, a firebell, or a marine horn. These are items you can keep nearby and are amazing deterrents and attention getters. I often suggest the DIYer setup some remote controls and place them in various spots in the house to trigger them. The firebell is one of my favorites as it can usually be installed in the back of a kitchen cabinet.

Security Holes: Bugzilla Recommends Update
The developers of the free bug tracking system, Bugzilla, advise users of older versions to update for security reasons.
Various branches of the Web-based system maintained by the project are affected: one vulnerability allows attackers exploit the "buildid" entry of a form for bug reporting to launch a cross-site scripting attack. Additionally, a call to "Email::Send::Sendmail()" can be exploited to inject malicious code.
Finally, a bug in the Web service interface (XML-RPC) gives a user access the time tracking entries for all reported bugs, even if the user does not have appropriate privileges.
The developers advise users with version 2.20.x or 2.22.x to update to version 2.20.5 or 2.22.3 respectively. Users with version 3.0 or 2.18.x should move to version 3.0.1. More recent versions are not affected by the bugs. Bugzilla offers a download here.

Kiva Launches Pilot Study with IPA and Google.org
We're thrilled to announce an innovative partnership between Kiva Labs, Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA), Google.org and two Kiva Field Partners to evaluate the effect of product design changes on the welfare of micro-entrepreneurs and on the viability of microfinance institutions.
|Through this study, Kiva aims to push the boundaries of microfinance by helping its MFI partners provide the poor with more affordable, more flexible credit. Simultaneously, IPA will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the real impact of these loan products on borrowers' lives. Most loan products currently available to the poor tend to be rigidly structured, with fixed payment dates that don't always align with borrowers' diverse business types, cash flows or investment needs. This initiative will evaluate the impact of more flexible and lower interest rate loan products on the types of investments made by micro-entrepreneurs and their subsequent economic outcomes. Borrowers who receive flexible loans will have the option to skip several monthly payments of their choosing, which could allow them to make higher-risk, higher-reward investments.
|A borrower from Kiva Field Partner FMSD
Kiva Field Partners Emprender (Bolivia) and Fundación Mario Santo Domingo (Colombia) have elected to participate in the initial pilot of this study, and have already conducted extensive market evaluations and promotion with potential borrowers. Over the next couple of months, these new loans will appear on Kiva for our lenders to fund! Because these products are being tested for the first time and are potentially riskier than a standard microfinance loan, Kiva's 0% interest, risk-tolerant funding is particularly important.
We're excited to see this project take off, and look forward to sharing results with our lenders once the study is complete!

"It was a little bit sore a couple days ago and [we] just felt like it'd probably be wise just to hold him back and just let him completely heal, as opposed to getting bumped or getting hit," Frazier said. "Don't want any setbacks."
Harvin bruised his ribs last week during a practice in Mankato. He played on Saturday in Tennessee and practiced Monday, but he was tended to by the training staff about halfway through Tuesday's practice and sat out of the rest of it.
He, along with several other injured players, went inside the building for treatment after the team stretched and then came back out later during practice.
"If we don't do anything with him tomorrow, we'll probably hold him back [Saturday]. So, we'll see how he feels tomorrow," Frazier said.
Harvin was far from alone among those that didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Safety Simeon Castille (hamstring), FB Matt Asiata (unknown), LB Kenny Onatolu (foot), LB Heath Farwell (hamstring), TE Visanthe Shiancoe (hamstring), WR Greg Camarillo (groin) and DE D'Aundre Reed (calf) were all held out of practice.
"The further you get along, you're going to have some bumps and bruises and fortunately for us, we haven't had any major issues – nothing more than muscle pulls or strains, and you'll get through those in time," Frazier said.
Shiancoe, Castille and Reed all did work on the sidelines after stretching while the others went inside Winter Park for treatment.
Anthony Herrera continued to split first-team reps with Scott Kooistra at right guard. Although Herrera declined to talk after practice, Frazier said the incumbent starter at right guard felt good after resuming practice this week. Herrera tore his anterior cruciate ligament Nov. 21 last year and missed the final six games of the season.
"We'll see how he feels tomorrow. You've got to consider a torn ACL and coming back out here and moving around, it's going to be a little bit sore, but not to the point where we can't give him a little bit more, so we'll see how he feels tomorrow," Frazier said.
Cornerback Cedric Griffin could see his first action of the preseason Saturday after making his way back from a torn ACL suffered last season, the second straight year his season was cut short by a knee injury. Griffin has been practicing since the start of training camp but sat out the preseason opener. Frazier said Griffin should see some time Saturday night in Seattle.
"At least a series – that's what we're thinking right now," Frazier said. "See how he does tomorrow in practice, how he finishes, and if he finishes fine, we may try to get him a series."
Former Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams defensive back Aeneas Williams, an eight-time Pro Bowler, addressed the Vikings after practice on Wednesday.
Williams, who is now a pastor at The Spirit Church in Missouri, was invited to speak to the team by Frazier, who has known Williams since Frazier did an internship with the Arizona Cardinals when Williams was in the early stages of his career.
"He's speaking across the country, amongst teams, and his credibility as a player and then what he's doing now, we thought it would be a plus for our rookies as we were trying to take them through how to handle things from a financial standpoint, just handling life skills in general," Frazier said. "Aeneas, I don't know if there is a greater example of how to handle the NFL, along with balancing life off the field.
"Great player in our league. Future Hall of Famer."
Williams spoke for about 10 minutes after practice and was scheduled to address the rookies at greater length as part of their life-skills session that is normally held during the offseason but was delayed this year because of the lockout.

Diminished Light: Chosens' Quest
Chapter 1
Journey's Beginning
Sailor Janus
Disclaimer: Digimon is the property of Akiyoshi Hongo and Toei. I only own the season worlds and characters that I have created for this story.
Author's Notes: Takes place after Diminished Light: Void's Assault.
As the Light continued to fade, storms of the heart swept through the lifeless void, pronouncing the end for the former warriors. Harmony rose, breaking through the chaos as Kindness reigned anew. Knowledge believed in its ability and Fate stood for its own destiny. Dreams awakened, and Courage declared it would not surrender. Winds shrieked, fires burned, waves crashed and the earth scorned, yet Purity found purpose, Friendship stayed fearless as Truth broke free of doubt. The vengeance continued its strife to rip them apart but Faith found meaning, Justice discovered the honor within. Sympathy saw through the fog of selfishness and Time found value in what is known. Even as the hatred and destruction persisted, Miracles came forth refusing to abandon anyone. Love proved to stand strong and unyielding and Strength proved to be mightier than fear itself. Spirit came to life and the diminished Light glowed with glory as Hope was no longer lost and Darkness discovered that it was never alone. Together the Chosen discovered their inner power of heart yet, the victory was not as they had wished it to be for the battle was far from over. Accepting the challenge as one to find their missing partners and friends of the Digital World, they set forth on another journey, one that will prove most trying and rewarding alike.
Birds chirped softly in the distance as a breeze whispered gently in the air, swaying in a graceful waltz. Motomiya Daisuke groaned as he opened his eyes and saw thin blades of grass. The last thing he remembered was lights flashing through colors that seemed to swirl, bleed, and mix as the world seemed to spin, flip, and drop out from under him. Sensations of flying, falling, pressure and numbness had flooded his body before everything went black. Just the memory of the whole experience however, was enough to turn his stomach. He felt nauseous at best, but for some reason his back was killing him.
"Has the room stopped spinning yet?"
"Hikari?" He gasped at the familiar voice close to his ear.
"Dai?" She wiggled but found she was still pinned down.
"Ow! Stop kicking me." A thickly accented voice cried out as she realized that something rather warm was nestled on her chest. She blushed crimson as she lifted her head and spotted a tuft of blonde hair. "Um, Takeru? Is that you?"
"Can you get off me? This is rather embarrassing."
The teen's head snapped up as he swore. "I'm sorry, Catherine! I didn't know…" He stared down at her chest and turned a deeper shade of red than she was. "I-I-I I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE!"
"Didn't do what?" Yagami Hikari squirmed but was unable to move too far. "Why do we have to land like this? We usually only do this when we return from the Digital World."
"I don't know but Takeru was being a pervert." A new voice explained to the surprise of the group.
"Jyou?" Takashi Takeru gritted his teeth as he realized that it was the eldest Chosen who was making it difficult for the others to move. "I'm not a pervert. It was an accident and can you get off my back?"
After much struggling the small group of Chosen finely untangled their limbs and managed to stand up. It was then however that they noticed there was something very different about each of them.
"What the?" Daisuke stared in confusion at the fingerless ice blue gloves he wore. His puzzled brown eyes roved up his arm to discover sleeves that reached his elbows in black with what appeared to be blue flames in the middle. Over the shirt was a bright blue vest that matched his pants. "Why did our clothes change again?"
Hikari frowned as she noted that his goggles were now black with icy blue lenses. Her eyes fell towards the blue tag and dropped to the black belt adorned with two pouches and a buckle with the symbol of Miracles on it. She glanced towards Takeru who was trying to avoid looking at the French girl. The fact that he was dressed in a red lace up tunic didn't help tone down his flushed face at all. Instead he nonchalantly ran a black gloved hand through his blonde hair as he brushed his other one again his black pants. She realized that he too wore a belt similar to Daisuke's only his had the symbol of Hope. "Something odd is going on here. Where is everyone else?"
"I think I preferred my other outfit better," Catherine Beaumont murmured as she chewed on her bottom lip in slight discomfort. Her silver tank top style shirt barely reached her belly and left a good amount of cleavage exposed. A long sleeved sheer light green top was over it, but even that hadn't covered her navel. A short matching green skirt in a jagged cut hem fell from her hips from underneath a long silver skirt that looked as though it had been shredded. She stomped her green ankle length boots and crossed her arms above her green belt, feeling rather exposed.
Hikari gave her a sympathetic smile then turned towards Kido Jyou who was digging in the matching pouch of his black belt. She frowned at his brown jacket and pants worn over a white v neck shirt then glanced at her own clothing and nearly gasped in shock. The first thing she noticed was the black thigh high boots worn with a knee length black skirt that was open in the front. Under it was a deep purple mini skirt. She also wore a black off the shoulder top under a purple corset-like tank top, both of which left her midsection bare. The only other thing covering her arms were elbow length gloves in the same shade as her mini skirt and corset-like top. She too looked speculatively at the pouches as well as the symbol of Light on her purple belt.
Daisuke snickered as Takeru continued to avert his eyes away from Catherine. His smug grin fell however once he noticed what Hikari was wearing and unconsciously dropped his jaw as he stared at her.
"Hey, Daisuke. I think you have something on your chin," Takeru smirked as the Chosen leader quickly rubbed his hand over his mouth.
"Maybe this place isn't so bad after all."
"Daisuke!" Hikari blushed as she realized that he was referring to her clothing. She chewed on her lip and brushed a hand through her hair suddenly feeling nervous.
"Right. Sorry. We came here for a reason and that's to find the digimon."
"Um, Gennai didn't exactly tell us about how to do that. What do we do? Search? And once we find them then what?" Jyou pushed his glasses further up his nose as he gazed around. "I don't see the others around here either which might mean that we were split up again."
The two younger men's heads snapped up as they too looked for any sign of their other friends having been too distracted by the girl of their choice.
Takeru cleared his throat and folded his arms over his chest. "I guess it can't hurt. I just wish we knew where everyone else was."
Suddenly a musical chime echoed through the air to the shock of the five Chosen. They exchanged glances and looked around curiously. At a loss for the source Daisuke reached into one of the pouches on his belt and pulled out a rectangular electronic device that wasn't there the first time. He gaped in puzzlement as it switched on to reveal none other than a rather familiar face from the Digital World.
"Gennai!" Hikari quickly pulled out a similar device from her own pouch and gestured for the others to do the same.
"Greetings, Chosen. As you can tell, you are not in the Digital World nor your own." He began explaining to the full attention of the twenty young adults, who though were separated into groups, were up to the challenge set forth before them. "You have been split up to take on the task you had agreed to locating and returning the digimon to their own world. In order to do so you must make use of new digivices. These are special ones that are equipped with the Digital Retrieval System or DRS for short. These systems are on each of your D-Quads. You will find that the D-Quads are a digivice unlike any other possessing the ability to detect and communicate with one another, log data, as well as track, analyze, and retrieve digimon respectively. You will also find supplies you may need in your travels. Remember, you are in a world unlike any you have experienced before. Do heed caution as you partake in your journey and good luck."
The face quickly disappeared from the screen as though it had never been there in the first place. Takeru frowned at the D-Quad then searched the other pocket.
"What are you looking for?" Catherine studied him with curious blue eyes.
"The D-Terminal. The digimon can't-" He pause as a pained expression formed on his features. "-use the Digimentals without them. But they're not with us so it wouldn't matter anyway."
Daisuke grinned reassuringly as Hikari place a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. We'll find them and it'll be just like old times again."
"As long as you and V-mon don't still snore loud enough to wake the dead." Takeru smirked as the leader's jaw dropped.
"Hey! At least I can cook."
Hikari cringed as she covered her mouth with the back of her hand in silent laughter. "Oh no, let's not go over that again…. I can't believe that you had a bet with Yamato over Takeru and I learning how to cook."
Daisuke draped an arm over his girlfriend's shoulders. "Well, you proved to be able to not give everyone food poisoning…. Unlike the hopeless chef over there."
Catherine glanced at Jyou in confusion who was also watching the three squabbling teens in silence. "Do you understand what they are talking about?"
"To put it simply. Takeru can't cook and Hikari can….kind of. Daisuke and Yamato had a bet going because Takeru and Hikari had to make something for school. I can't remember what they made but it was a disaster from what I heard which brings up the question, Catherine. Do you know how to cook?"
The French girl blinked and nodded. "Oui. I mean yes. I can cook many things."
"Then it might be best for you to keep Takeru out of the kitchen."
"Hey!" The blonde haired boy spun around and glared at his elder. "I'm not that bad!"
"Um, not to break up the party, but I think we have digimon to look for and possibly civilization," Hikari said, in an attempts to bring everyone's focus back to their new situation.
"Right. Let's try heading east and we'll see where it leads us." Daisuke nodded as he pointed towards a clearing. "Maybe we'll get likely and find someplace that has food because I don't know about you guys, but it's been a while since Hikari and I last ate."
"Sounds like a plan," Catherine smiled and together the quintet started off.
Asukai Tani stared out into the ocean, watching the waves lap lazily against the shore. The wind blew through her dark pigtails and she turned back to the others in her party. The only one she had met before was Ishida Yamato. The other three were complete strangers to her even though the red haired guy had apparently been seeing one of her sisters. She pushed at her indigo bandana briefly brushing her fingers again her violet colored goggles.
Yamato glanced at the fidgeting girl and laughed. "It's okay, Tani. They won't bite."
She nodded as the long tan colored sleeveless duster he wore billowed in the wind against his khaki pants and long sleeved copper shirt. She turned and studied the lavender haired girl wearing a short green sleeveless dress over a pair of brown pants, a light tan colored short sleeved top with green boots and short green gloves. The girl was talking to a young man with indigo colored hair pulled back into a ponytail. He was clad in a blue-gray long sleeved shirt the laced up in the front with black pants. A red haired young man stood near them intently studying the D-Quad dressed in a yellow long sleeved tunic with a pair of brown pants and gloves.
The lavender haired girl looked at Tani for a moment then turned around and whispered to her boyfriend. "Who's she? I've never seen her before."
"Maybe one of Ami's sisters?" He replied and nodded towards the young woman. "She has tag and crest."
"Right." The girl stepped towards the brunette and smiled. "Hi, I'm Inoue Miyako and this is my boyfriend Ichijouchi Ken. Um, it's nice to meet you."
"I'm Asukai Tani. It's a pleasure to meet you." She looked down at her clothing and flushed. It wasn't something she could ever fathom wearing. An indigo lace-up vest over a teal corset-like top with matching shorts under a knee length shredded indigo skirt. Purple bands hugged her upper arms from above teal and indigo colored elbow length gloves. She stared down at her indigo colored slippers and sighed. "I guess we don't really have a choice in what we're wearing around here."
Miyako laughed. "Don't worry. You look fine."
Tani nodded as Yamato and Izumi Koushiro joined them. "So I guess it's just the five of us. I hope the others are okay."
"This D-Quad is rather fascinating," Koushiro said, as he studied the device. "I wonder how you get the communication mechanism working?" Suddenly Yagami Taichi's face appeared on the screen to the shock of the red head who nearly dropped it in surprise.
"Koushiro! Hey! Is Hikari with you?"
"Eh, Taichi! No, she's not. Yamato, Ken, Miyako and uh…"
Yamato immediately made a grab for the digivice, snatching it away from Koushiro. "Hey, Taichi! Have you seen Sora?"
"Yeah, she's here. Have you seen Hikari?"
"No. Have you tried contacting her D-Quad?"
The brunette blinked then slapped a hand to his face. Just then Takenouchi Sora popped up on the screen. "No, he didn't. He chose randomly rather than alphabetically."
"I couldn't figure out how to get the stupid thing to work!" Taichi shouted from off screen.
"He randomly pressed buttons. If it was a cell phone he would have ended up calling Bolivia."
Yamato chuckled. "Just keep my fiancée safe, okay, Taichi and I'll keep Tani out of trouble."
The brunette leader's face appeared on the screen for a moment. "Tani is with you?"
Sora shoved him out of the way. "Hey, it should be Tani and I keeping you two out of trouble!"
"Yeah!" Tani stepped in and leaned over Yamato as she plucked the device out of his hand. "Remember, Tai, you have the Crest of Courage, not stupidity. You don't have to do everything and it's okay to be afraid." She ducked under Yamato's intercepting arm as he tried to snag the D-Quad away from her. "And don't worry, Sora. I'll keep your fiancé from doing anything stupid as well as long as you keep my boyfriend under control."
"Deal." The screen went fuzzy as shouts erupted from the device. Taichi's face next appeared as he glared at his girlfriend. "We don't need any help keeping out of trouble."
"Uh huh. We'll see about that. Love ya, Tai." She giggled as she skipped off but suddenly found the ground coming fast to meet her as her legs were knocked out from under her.
Koushiro sighed and inspected his D-Quad carefully. "You two have your own digivices. I'd prefer mine not to get broken before I have fully been able to analyze its abilities and how it work it more closely."
Tani dusted herself off as she stumbled up from the large mass of sand she fell in. Miyako grinned at her and gave her a victory sign.
"That was great. Even better than playing 'Keep Away' with the remote with Daisuke when he wanted to watch some big soccer tournament."
"Easy for you to say. You didn't get shoved into a large bowl of popcorn that decided to lodge itself around your ass. It took over ten minutes to remove because everyone was laughing so hard." Ken glowered at his girlfriend as she started cracking up even more.
"Oh man, I should have never thrown it to Hikari when I did. She went down hard when Daisuke had fallen off of the sofa trying to catch it and crashed into her."
Ken shook his head at the memory. "It's a miracle that neither of them had a concussion. I don't think I've ever seem him apologize so much before." He looked up and frowned. "Um, I think we're being left behind…."
Miyako's head snapped up and her jaw dropped. "Hey! A little notice would be nice!" She grabbed Ken's wrist and sprinted after the rest of their group.
Tani turned around at looked at the couple in surprise. "Oh sorry, we're weren't actually going to leave you. We haven't really decided which direction would be the best to take."
"I think going south would be our best choice," Koushiro offered. "I mean if everyone else agrees."
"Sounds better than just standing around and the sooner we start moving the best chance we have of locating the digimon." Yamato nodded as he addressed the other Chosen.
"Well, then if everyone's ready, let's go!" Tani started off as the others trailed after her.
Taichi brushed the autumn leaves from his thick brown hair and scowled at his childhood friend. Sora, now clothed in a baby pink high necked top that barely covered her stomach with short sheer sleeves, a dark blue pair of shorts that almost looked like a skirt and thigh high beige colored boots was shaking with laughter. She adjusted the pink headband in her short red hair and look at him innocently before bursting into a fit of giggles.
"Do you need some help with your D-Quad?" Her brown eyes twinkled with amusement as he glowered at her.
"I can figure it out for myself thank you, Sora."
Tachikawa Mimi studied her long sleeveless white vest that went down to her mid thigh. Under it was a small dusty rose pink tank top that barely reached her belly and a pink mini skirt. Long fingerless spring green gloves stopped short of her shoulder and matching green calf length boots completed her look. She shoved at her long hair that to her dislike, fell past her shoulders in waves. "I guess this isn't too bad." She shifted her gaze to her boyfriend Michael Nicholson who was decked out in copper toned lace up vest and matching pants with a long sleeved forest green shirt. He looked at his brown gloves and shrugged.
"It could be worse. Then again, I'd prefer to have a hat." He flipped the curly strands of blonde hair from his face. "The first chance I get, I'm gonna straighten out this mess."
"And you say I worry about my looks too much," Mimi snickered at her boyfriend as he folded his arms and pouted.
"Guys have images to uphold too."
"And what a manly image it is." Mimi grinned as she wrapped her arms around him. He narrowed his eyes and sulked further.
"Now you're making fun."
"You know, this kind of reminds me of an RPG," Chichos "Rosa" Sanchez said as she looked over her outfit consisting of a cream colored top with gold crisscrossing laces for sleeves and a short rose gold pleated skirt. Gold bands were joined from her wrists to her elbows with crisscrossing gold laces and on her feet were gold colored slippers with laces that crisscrossed as well up to her knees. She fluffed her short dark ponytail out and bit her lip. "Have any of you played any video games before?"
Taichi and the other older Chosen blanched. He glanced down at his black jacket with gray bandanas tied above his elbows over a gray shirt and black pants with another gray bandana tied at his left knee and sighed. Frighteningly enough, the teenaged girl did have a point but it wasn't exactly something he cared to discuss at the moment. He pulled at his black goggles and grinned nonchalantly as he fiddled with his digivice. "Um, let's not talk about that right now."
"Why not?"
"It's a long story," Sora jumped in to the relief of the others.
"Something that I don't care to relive ever again," Michael muttered as Mimi clutched onto his arm.
Rosa blinked in confusion at them but left the subject alone.
"I think I got it!" Taichi cheered in triumph. "Hikari? Hikari?"
"Big brother?" A puzzled sounding voice inquired as an equally speculative face of a brunette teen appeared on the screen.
"Hikari! Are you okay? You're safe, right?"
The screen shook a bit as though his sibling had been startled by the outburst. "Yes, I'm fine. Daisuke, Takeru, Catherine, and Jyou are also with me. Why do you ask?"
Taichi scratched the back of his head as he began to pace as he talked. "Oh, you know. Doing the big brother thing and checking up on you."
"You mean being overly protective."
"Hey! I am not."
Hikari sighed. "You are too. But remember I can take care of myself and I'm not alone either. Everything will be fine." She paused a moment and smiled. "And I know that you're doing this because you love me and I still love you, but I am stronger now. Stronger than I used to be."
Taichi smiled back at his little sister as he reflected on how much she had grown up. "I know. I just want you to be safe. I don't like it when you're hurt."
"I'll be fine, big brother. Trust me."
He nodded as he drew a deep breath and exhaled. "I do. Hey, can I talk to Daisuke? Leader to leader?"
"I'm not going to threaten him or anything. I think it's great you two are together and have no problems with it whatsoever. I just want to talk to him."
Hikari gazed into the earnest shine in her brother's eyes before she agreed. "Remember to watch out for yourself, big brother."
Daisuke's face suddenly filled the screen. "Um, you wanted to talk to me, Taichi?"
"Yeah. I just wanted to tell you again that I know your intentions for my little sister are honorable but I still want you to promise to take care of her."
"Of course I will, Taichi. She means more than anything to me."
Taichi sighed as he closed his eyes, satisfied with the younger leader's answer. "Good, because I have enough to worry about with Tani not being here and instead I have to watch out for Sora as Yamato is keeping an eye out for Tani."
Daisuke blinked in surprise. "Whoa. Kinda sucks for you guys, but I'm sure you'll be back together again when this is over."
"Yeah. We have some missing friends to find after all. Thank you, Daisuke."
"You've done a good job of protecting her yourself, Taichi. Now it's my turn. I promise not to let you down." Daisuke glanced up and flinched. "Um, better go. Hikari is looking at me suspiciously."
"Okay. Be careful. All of you."
"Don't worry, we will."
Taichi stared at the now blank screen a moment before shoving the D-Quad back into its pouch. He turned back to the others and grinned. "Okay, now that I know Hikari is safe let's go."
Mimi angled a look at Michael. "Someone is being an overprotective older brother."
"True, but considering the fact that he had no idea where she was for years then lost her again after finding her in a few short days can you blame him?"
"Guess not when you put it like that." She smiled as she glanced back towards the others. "So where to?"
Sora studied the map displayed on her D-Quad. "West looks good to me."
"Then west it is," Taichi nodded and together the group headed off.
Lazy flakes of snow drifted from the sky as Wallace Bailey studied the mountain before him. His blue eyes shifted towards the three young women chatting enthusiastically on one of the D-Quads. The only one he was vaguely familiar with was Asukai Ami. Her reddish burgundy curls were swept up in a messy bun allowing a few tendrils to face in her pale face. Her brown, red, and gold colored cape fluttered in the breeze over a tiny magenta shirt that left her stomach exposed and a long ankle length skirt that bled from a rich gold, to orange and ending with a deep red. She pulled at her long magenta colored gloves and pouted at the darker haired girl. Quieter of the two, the raven haired girl fought for her digivice as Ami tried to yank it away. Dressed in an olive green sleeveless dress with a cream colored outer layer she definitely had a royal appearance compared to the other two, especially with the off the shoulder olive green sleeves that were tied to her arms with thick ribbon.
The third member of the trio however had a different air to her that Wallace couldn't help but feel uncertain of. She was tall with short unruly violet hair. Her sapphire blue eyes glimmered as she snickered at Ami. She was clad in what looked like a black leather jacket, but the front half only reached her waist as the back continued down to the back of her knees. Under that was a teal turtleneck and matching pants paired off with black knee-high boots.
"I believe they're all sisters," Hida Iori said softly. He tucked his hands in his long brown coat, which he wore over a deep orange high-necked shirt and black pants. "Triplets to be exact, though they don't look too much alike. Contact lenses and hair dye can do wonders to alter one's appearance."
Wallace nodded absently and glanced down at his long black coat, worn over a burgundy top and blue pants. The bottom of his burgundy colored bandana slapped lightly against the back of his neck and he sighed.
"I think Akina wants you to tell her boyfriend hi for her."
"I do not, Shina," the dark haired young woman glared as she flushed. "I can tell him myself, thank you very much."
Shina laughed. "And just what did you two talk about on the internet? Hm, sister dear."
"I think I may want to plug my ears…."Ami blushed as looked apologetically to Tani on the digivice who appeared to be trying not to laugh at her sisters' banter.
Akina's jaw dropped. "Get your minds out of the gutter. Nothing of that nature happened in any form whatsoever!" She spun around to stomp off but froze at the sight of the two young men staring at them. "As if I couldn't get even more mortified." She slapped a hand to her face, took a deep breath then grabbed her sisters' arms and yanked them over frowning at them. "We're being rude."
"Oh! Oops," The red head bowed in apology. "I am Asukai Ami. It's nice to meet you. This is Asukai Akina and Asukai Shina, my older sisters though only by minutes."
Shina bowed as well and cocked her head at the two boys. "So, you know who we are, it's your turn."
"Hida Iori," the tall brunette replied with a bow.
"Wallace Bailey or Bailey Wallace as you might say it," the blonde bowed respectfully.
"An American?" Shina blinked in surprise as Ami said a quick goodbye to Tani.
"Born and raised."
She smirked as she folded her arms. "Interesting."
"What do you mean by interesting? Is there something wrong with the fact that I'm not Japanese? Michael is also American, Rosa is from Mexico and Catherine is French-"
"Whoa, boy. Take it easy," Shina held out her hands then shook her head as she sighed. "I didn't mean anything by it. In fact I like American culture."
Wallace rolled his eyes. "Whatever. We're wasting time just standing here."
"You're the one who is making a big fuss over nothing."
"I'm not making a fuss!"
"Yes, you are."
Wallace gritted his teeth and swore at the sky. "Fine. Let's just go."
"I believe our best choice will be north," Iori said calmly as he showed the map displayed on his digivice.
"Fine. Let's just go." Wallace stalked off leaving the others to follow.
Ami frowned in confusion. "He didn't act that cold before."
Iori shook his head. "There must be more to it than just acting out and more than likely we'll find out the hard way."
Akina nodded as she glanced from Shina to the blonde American. It seemed her sister had once again found her way under someone's skin but the reason behind that was still a mystery. She could only hope that whatever it was that it wouldn't hinder their journey and the task they set off to accomplish.
Author's Notes: This took longer to complete than expected. What may seem rather simple at the moment is going to become more involved and complicated as the story moves forward.
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter to the second part of my series. This is only the beginning after all.

Report Shows Virtual Reality on Solid Ground$22 billion business involves more than 8,000 companies
The Market for Visual Simulation/Virtual Reality Systems, Fourth Edition by CyberEdge Information Services (CEIS) says the economy has meant a shrinking of VR by 17 percent this year, but visual simulation (VizSim) hardware, software and services are still valuable businesses, with the average VizSim system priced at $92,000 and 8,512 companies in on the action. Top applications, according to the report, are museum and exhibitions, virtual prototyping and design evaluation. 18.5 percent of systems use the internet to deliver the content.
The study showed that graphics card manufacturer nVidia received the highest customer satisfaction rating, and the report includes an Opportunity Index, CyberEdges proprietary tool for determining how to best leverage the results of the study for a business advantage.
The Market for Visual Simulation/Virtual Reality Systems, Fourth Edition is the ninth major research report completed by CEIS in the past three years.

Hi JVerkuilen,
You are right that the key assumption is Gaussian errors, but my data
does not have Gaussian errors, and I wanna use t statistics, so I
wanna to fix the non-normal residuals by transforming the variables (I
don't know what else to do to fix the Gaussian errors). Is there any
better way to deal with it? Or Is there any papers that I can read
about it?

I did speak to Halunen this week. Did not get he attoney but spoke to a secretary so I do not know how accurate information is. Theyevidently have been contacted to do another lawsuitby sme IBO's but were not interested at this time. Did not get reasons why. I was not there the first time but it sures seems like nothing has really changed from whatI read and hear. It would be helpful if someone in Pennsylvania could start something. Disputes over territory, non exclusive rights for accounts we paid for, forced sales, etc etc

Know someone who talked to a lawyer, he said if you were willing to lose your job you could file, do not know too many people who could go without the income. I agree with many of your points, as we are all frustrated by the crap they are doing, however it is a job that we all signed contracts for, and that my friend is why they throw that in our face.CONSTANTLY.

I was reviewing my sales on Quicken this morning. I made 4k less than last year from January until June. I was even from June through now. Ticks me off. This cheap company puts nothing onsale during winter and then stuffs a bunch of crap into Walmarts for us to deal with. I walked into my Supervalu store today and it was barely touched. I guess we don't want to sell stuff during holidays. Of course Frito has basically everything on sale 2 for 4. Pitiful

Had to buy back some of my Walmart cross dock on Lance, after we were not allowed to deliver on Saturday, due to Walfarts end of month.

Bengaluru, June 25: Samsung has been accused of stealing user's data, especially photos and videos from uploading those data to their servers.
A video has become viral on internet. Many people have been sharing the video through WhatsApp, email and Facebook.
In the video, a man claims that Samsung has hatched a conspiracy in stealing the user's data and automatically uploading it to their servers without the user's knowledge.
The man in the video shows a chip, which is placed in the battery of a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. According to the man in the video, the paper-thin cheap can be removed from the battery.
The man also claimed that removing the chip will not hamper the phone or its working in any way.
However, media reports claimed that the video was a hoax. According to a report, the paper-thin cheap is nothing but NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna.
The antenna is used in most high-end smartphones, and is meant for communicating between two devices.

Nihongostan : The Prologue
The school holidays in September was when we escaped Singapore to go to Japan.
Never would have we known we would be spoiled by the experience and wish to revisit it again.
We wanted to go back.
This is Nihongostan.
The Game had Started
GameStart 2016 was at Suntec and well, at least from my own knowledge, no hijinks occurred involving any random aunties this year at this location.
Also, you probably could called GameStart as Overwatch Convention since yessssss. OW EVERYWHERE.
Because I'm biased, here's a solo shot (hah!) of Ana.
Ok, OW everywhere and Mystic Messenger too but I don't play MM.
Bring provocative means being attractive as cosplayers. Cosplayers are people who wear costumes and play. Here is the top 10 provocative cosplayers at STGCC this year.
1) Super Awesome Cosplay
Picture by Pinkkatsyah.
This is one of the most provocative cosplayer. We were so excited. See our excitement. But it was the best.
Let's go Pokemon!
The morning of when pokemon was released in Singapore, I actually dreamed of it and went "Huh, I dreamt that Pokego go released secretly in one morning" but I had a feeling it was that day.
And then… it really was.
Which is a nice coincidence. Anyway! It's amusing to see that many people are coming out in twos, threes or in little groups as they walk about together.
There's so many posts about it but eh, here's my tips for you to pokego in Singapore.
- Free wifi in malls, banks, Starbucks, McD's etc. You don't have to use your data if you're gonna sit in a mall. Just log on.
- NTUC and malls (well, hospitals too but if you're there then uh, please take care of your health or the person you're visiting instead) have free charging points. You can charge your phone but you have to leave it in the little 'charging corner thing' OR charge your powerbank. MRTs have free charging stations too for your devices. Don't be a douchecanoe, don't hog the charging points if there aren't many. People might need to charge their phones to contact people in emergency.
- Stop standing in the middle of nowhere. Switch off AR to catch the pokemon since it'll stop it from 'moving' about and easier for your to throw them pokeballs. Do this discreetly like you're whatsapping. You can walk and swipe it up. If you want to park, park yourself near walls and away from people to prevent yourself from bumping into them.
- Bring water if you're going to walk a long while. If you want to hatch a poke-egg with 2km or 5km. Maybe you should check out the running routes available in SG so you can have nice scenery too. The usual races in SG are 5km for basics too so WOOH, you can even join a run or something.
- Look where you are going. Like oh mein Gott. LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING. Don't be a noob.
- Help out younger players or like, look after them that they aren't going where they're not supposed to be. Do the neighbourhood pal thing and whatnot, they're excited pokemon trainers too.
- Check out offers!! Malls, cafes, restaurants are now providing discounts for poketrainers or you can win vouchers and stuff. Just look about, sometimes they will have some soooo why not make the best of it? Heh.
How to Use Skillsfuture credits
Ok. So it was 'sale' week on Udemy and I had been waiting for these courses to be on offer even if I wasn't going to be paying them 'myself'.
What better way to spend my Skillsfuture monies on courses I can just learn online at my own time?
Since I got the $500 credits, I should try to spend it when there are 'offers' so that I'll be able to take more classes elsewhere too anyway.
I signed up for some others but these two were able to be claimed via the Skillsfuture website.
Step one, you GOT to have the monies to pay for these courses first.
Any of the courses you want to sign up for that's eligible for the credits, you have to pay first.
Then claim.
On the website just search using that part there before you even log in to see if the course you want is claimable.
On broomsticks aka In Which We Found Butterbeer
What has Overwatch got to do with anything?
Well on Saturday night, my crew went to the Geylang Bazaar to buy food without me because I just finished work and had to go home.
And then.
They found butterbeer.
It was the brand we wanted to get years ago for our Harry Potter parties but the shop closed down. But now… it's back!!!!!!!
And so.
I asked them to come to my house with butterbeer because I was stuck at home. Boo hoo tragic kingdom.
And while I was Overwatching, I WAS FINISHING THE GAME QUICKLY SO I CAN TELL THEM TO COME (hence player of the game, get the objective, get my butterbeer), they conferred with each other and then yes.
One of the most ridiculous plans we did. Them coming over just to let me try butterbeer they found at the Bazaar.
FYI, it's near the market side/cheers of Haig Road, the stall name is Word. You can get butterbeer and a butterbeer float after the bazaar at their own bistro too so no worries on that.
Try it chilled over ice. In a frosted glass.
Ahhhh, such Harry Potter vibes.
Ok. Here's the comparison to people who have went to World of HP and tried the butterbeer and this.
This brand's more buttery and sweet. But BOTH are good. So it's really a matter of preference. With the bottle, we found that it has a distributor too, Rogue Merchants! So yesss. This is looking quite good for our future HP party when Fantastic Beasts comes out…
And if not at Word Bistro (they have rainbow bagels and other foods), you might want to try buy online which I found out from another friend it's available here.
Butterbeer is back in Singapore for all you wizards! HUZZAH!
OK, BESIDES THE WHOLE BUTTERBEER THING. I'm pretty AWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww at my friends who DROVE OVER to just come by with the bottles of butterbeer cause we're a bunch of nerds and shared it. They are ridiculous but so AWWWWWWWWWWWWW. A++ Imma make my salmon wellington for them once puasa is over and we all can have a great day together.
The Geylang Bazaar! In app form
Hi guys.
It's only for Android but you can get the Bazaar Geylang '16 over in the play store for free.
What's this app? It's a list of food places that are pretty unique besides the usual vadeh or burger ramly stores.
Pretty much my brother went ughh, so hard to find all the places so in the end…
We made an app to just list them all down. Stuff might not be too accurate but we tried to take pics of the price list too. For more details, read the google play description of the app!
Sorry iOS users, it costs a pretty penny to be a developer and to set up a store there so… tough luck!
My bro and I went about the crowd taking pictures of nearly every stall of notable food. The rest were generic then no need to take pic. He coded the app, the end.
Urban Armor Gear!
Ok, I'm just gonna say you can get your Urban Armor Gear at Lazada on my link here because at least they'll deliver to you at Lazada.
You can still get the cases in store though cause I've seen them around (just make sure they're genuine?).
I'm stating this now cause it's gonna be 'holiday' season soon and it's best to get your phones protected before you go on trips and try take pics with your phone etc.
The SAD thing is that I'm using an OPPO so I can't use UAG cases.
Heck, for my specific phone model, I can't even get nifty cases so the second best way is… GET MY FRIENDS (they use more mainstream phones) to use the cases cause when they're on adventure with me, well, what better way for them to take pics of me instead?
Anyway, tl;dr version. If you can afford your phone, you can afford this case to protect it. Yes, it has more colours than pink and also, it has protectors for ipads, Samsung, macbook airs and even Surface Pros.
Anywho, I passed this particular case to my friend since she accompanies me to events and stuff too.
Still in production
On production, I usually get there earlier than others. Usually anyway. I tend to usually try panorama mode on my phone while I sit down and wait.
Anyway, that's Punggol jetty.
I wouldn't have gone there unless I had to and wow, it does look great.
There's a boat or a ferry coming by and I learned that it goes to Outward Bound School or Pulau Ubin camp 1 and 2 area.
I doubt it's for everyone though since it's chartered only for participants and the people who work there.
If you know more about the boats from Punggol jetty, let me know! I do want to know where exactly it goes and how do I get on it.
Nothing in Party-Cular People of Singapore
What's Nothing In Party-Cular People of Singapore? It's nothing really. It's a bbq/picnic thingy that we plan to happen on a long weekend or just some random date because sometimes you got to just have a random day to chill out.
That's why it happens for nothing in particular.

The Law: A House, Senate and president together defending traditional marriage is ruled unconstitutional. Can a Roe v. Wade-like "right" to same-sex marriage — pulverizing religious liberty — be far behind?
Under ObamaCare, the Obama administration is already trying to force religious institutions to violate their precepts and fund abortions, or be found in violation of law. There is little, if any, distance between that kind of disregard for religious freedom and forcing churches to marry same-sex couples — a new kind of "shotgun wedding" for the 21st century.
That is where the imperial judiciary quite clearly intends to take us, running over anything standing in the way. As Justice Scalia's scathing dissent in Wednesday's 5-to-4 U.S. v. Windsor ruling observes: "In the majority's telling, this story is black-and-white: Hate your neighbor or come along with us."
Justice Anthony Kennedy — Ronald Reagan's biggest, longest-lasting mistake — joined with the high court's four liberals, charging in his decision that large majorities of both houses of Congress, not to mention President Bill Clinton, in 1996 chose "to demean those persons who are in a lawful same-sex marriage" today.
The court declared Congress "cannot deny the liberty protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment." It takes the judicial elite to construe the Bill of Rights' safeguard against being "deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" as a license to keep elected officials from acting to protect man's oldest institution from being revolutionized.
As Scalia noted, the court was "eager — hungry — to tell everyone its view of the legal question at the heart of this case" — so much so that it, unprecedentedly, took on a case in which the five justices actually "agree that the court below got it right."
The result is "a Supreme Court standing (or rather enthroned) at the apex of government, empowered to decide all constitutional questions, always and everywhere 'primary' in its role."
As with both abortion and race, the "least dangerous branch" of the federal government has pronounced that the people themselves aren't wise enough to deal with homosexuality in society.
In so doing "the court has cheated both sides," Scalia wrote, "robbing the winners of an honest victory, and the losers of the peace that comes from a fair defeat."
Marriage has, over the many centuries of its history at the foundation of civilization, been neither a love contract nor a business deal. It is, rather, the lone institution ensuring society's future through the orderly procreation and upbringing of children.
The Supreme Court, in classifying Marriage 2.0 as a civil rights matter, should now be asked if laws against polygamy are also unconstitutional. Can three people marry? Can fathers marry daughters? Brothers marry sisters?
Public opinion has been changing swiftly in favor of same-sex marriage, but not nearly fast enough for judicial-activist federal judges and justices. In shielding homosexuals from being "demeaned," they now seem ready in the near future to hold a gun to the head of clergy who refuse to marry them. That will not be America.
