Dear Readers,
Cardinal Gates Shade Cord Safety Cleats popped into my head when I watched the Nightly News last night (December 2, 2016). The story focussed on the tragic deaths of two young children who strangled in danging shade cords. My heart goes out to these families and others who've had similar tragedies over the years. Mini-blind cords are reportedly among the most dangerous.
According to information on the internet, cords longer than 8 inches are not safe. Installation of new cordless shades is recommended. For those many families who cannot afford those purchases, Cardinal Gates Shade Cord Safety Cleats add a modicum of safety. No, this is not a fool proof solution. It is a safety option until cordless shades or blinds are installed.
Loose cords are strangulation hazards for children up to age 8, according to an internet article. By consistently wrapping dangling cords high above a child's reach, the temptation is lessened. We also recommend keeping chairs, sofas, stools, etc. away from windows where shades are mounted.
Buy one, buy 12. Safe Home saves you money with bulk packaging. In our home there are no children under 8. One "clawed" Siamese cat did manage to destroy several of our shade cords before we wound the cords up high on cleats. The cleats are hardly noticeable. We prefer to keep shades up in most rooms also due to Buddy's love for clawing them!
Cardinal Gates Shade Cord Safety Wrap, Clear Cleat, 12/BX or Cardinal Gates Cord Safety Wrap, Clear Cleat are featured on our website. Use for short, long and/or thick cords. Install cleat high enough so children and cats cannot reach it. Wrap cord around the cleat. High mounting on the window frame helps to deter attention from the cords. The included VHB (very high bond) adhesive means fast, easy installation. Adheres to metal, glass, wood and plastic. Peel and stick: one hour curing time. No drilling or hardware! Transparent plastic blends into any decor . Dimensions: 3.25 inches long by 0.50 inches deep by 1.00 inches wide. Twelve cord wraps in this package. Loose cords are strangulation hazards for small children. NOTE: Not recommended for non-ratcheting blinds. Bulk package: application directions included. Made in China. Remember no safety product substitutes for adult supervision of children.
We installed these on most of our window shades (Circa 1993) because of our Siamese cat Buddy whose teeth and claws have caused a lot of damage.

Q: "A natural gas shale line from Marcellus Shale gas in Pennsylvania may extend into the Northeastern states in the next year, if approved (Quote from CBS 12/3/2014) We currently are using oil heat. Replacing the furnace with natural gas will save us a lot of money. How can we avoid the health risks associated with natural gas?"Thanks Tom.
Answer: Continue using carbon monoxide alarms and smoke detectors as you have been doing, remembering to test them monthly and change batteries once a year. I would also suggest you add a Scentry III Gas Shut Off system on your main line into the home as well as Safe-T-Alert Combustible Gas Alarm or a Safety Siren III natural gas alarm near your natural gas appliances such as ranges, fireplaces, etc.
With the Scentry III GFRAB, you can add additional remote sensors, a battery back-up and a connection to a home monitoring system if you have one or plan to get one.
Remember that natural gas is lighter than air and "puddles" at the ceiling above the appliance using it. If near an open stairway, the gas will go to the top of the stairway.
An annual furnace tune up with filter change is needed with gas furnaces as well as with oil. If you want the best disposable furnace filters, use the 4 inch or 1 inch Safe Home filters.
Thanks for your questions.

Q: "I am scheduled to have bunion surgery in a few weeks. Do you have suggestions about what preparations I need to make and what products I need to make my recovery safer. Thanks, Mary."
Answer: Having gone through bunion surgery in November 2013, I have some knowledge about this, for sure! I wish someone had given me this information prior to my surgery.
First, at the visit where you schedule the surgery date, ask the doctor for a medical statement so you can get a temporary handicapped parking permit. In the State of Iowa this means filling out a short form and sending it to a state office with the doctor's statement. In my case, I learned about this permit 6 weeks after my surgery. My sister knew Pennsylvania had them. I got the mdical statement and took the on-line form to the orthopedist after my hospital discharge. (I was one of the 10% who developed an infection and spent 5 days on IV antibiotics in the hospital two weeks after surgery). In Iowa, the permit is good for 6 months. (Oh, and if your foot hurts worse 5 days after surgery, what you need is to see the doctor quickly, not be prescribed more pain medicine. I was not to unwrap the foot prior to the first post-op visit and took the additional pain meds.
Second, here are some items I believe you need for safety prior to your surgery.
Remember that you must keep your foot elevated above your heart level as much as possible to reduce swelling. This means you'll be sleeping on top of your comforter with your foot propped up on a large or many pillows. Ice packs do help when the boot is off. I found having an electric blanket or electric mattress pad under me and wool blankets as covers kept me comfortable in the winter. Get lots of library books or tape your favorite TV programs. You'll spend a lot of time prone those first weeks. Ask the doctor lots of questions like: do I have to wear the torture boot day and night? Etc. Do not miss your pain pills!
Home grab bar installations can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.
1. Vertical grab bars (straight up or down). Have a handyman or carpenter install grab bars into studs or use anchoring devices. A shorter vertical bar mounted at the tub or shower entrance helps the person to enter or exit without losing their balance and falling.. Two more grab bars in the shower or tub let the person rise from the tub or bath chair or give more stability when the person is washing herself or himself. Usually the grab bars are 12, 16 or 18 inches long. We also sell Lumex Chrome Grab Bars - 32 Inch, Knurled that have better gripping surface and have a 250 lb. weight capacity. Save if you need several by buying the Chrome Grab Bars, 32 In Knurled, 3/CS by Medline. For those with glass sliding tub doors, the grab bars offer a secure way to regain balance. In order to install this grab bar for my mother, the handyman had to remove the 1950's glass sliding doors as the door track interfered with the mounting.
2. Horizontal handicap grab bars. This installation gives the option of using the grab bar as a towel bar, too. Typcially wall studs are 16 inches apart on center. If you examine other exposed areas of your home, you can determine more accurately where the centers are in the studs. Otherwise use a hollow wall anchor system available at hardware stores. That is why 16 inch, 32 inch and 48 inch grab bars are most common.
3. Diagonal installed. At the side of my Mom's toilet, there is a diagonally installed 32 inch grab bar. Installation may be more difficult. The positives are that grabbing a diagononal bar puts less stress on one's wrist. If installed in a shower, the diagonal bar is preferred by those who face only the shower head. The horizontal bar has can be used facing forward or backward but the height if obviously the same no matter where one grabs.
Grab bars are measured from the center of one flange (the round area that conceals the screws) to the center of the other flange. The flange covers typically measure about 1.5 inches on either side of the grab bar. So add three inches to the total length of the grab bar you need.
Safe Home sells quality grab bars from Lumex (Graham Field Health Products) and Medline Industries. Most are sold in packages of 3, all the same size. Lumex has individual packages as well. Your material/color choices include Chrome plated, White enamel over steel and Nickel Plated Steel. ADA compliant grab bars include the Carex brand from Medline in 12, 16, 18, and 24 inch sizes. Additional lengths are available. Just send us an email if your grab bars must be compliant with ADA.
Thank you for your question. Good luck with your surgery. By the way, I had an orthopedist do my foot: my podiatrist said that if he did it, I'd be on crutches for 6 weeks. I've since met women who had both feet done at the same time: they had family and friends care for them for several weeks.

Q: "I need to know if power fails or the temperature or humidity changes in my home in Connecticut in the winter or in our motor home when we travel in the summer. We winter in Florida and take our animals with us. I live in a safe neighborhood so I am not worried about break-ins. What do you suggest?" Thanks. Calvin
Answer: I suggest you purchase the new CM712 TemperatureGuard Self-Contained Remote Monitor. Microtechnologies introduced the CM712 in late summer 2013. This replaces the VM-500-3 and VM-500-3HT units that required a land line. This is an easily set up unit suitable for computer rooms, homes, motorhomes, boats and more. You may choose to purchase two units, one for your permanent home and one for your on-the-go home. For example, if the 120VAC power in your motor home park fails or your air conditioner stops cooling, you'll know if you are shopping, etc.
The initial cost is about $600. Remember you won't have to pay for a land line. You will need a SIM card, available on a monthly basis from Microtechnologies.com, the manufacturer. Or you can get one from ATT, etc. Alerts go via the cell network. The three sensors for temperature, power and humidity are built in. If you want you can add a dry contact door sensor. In an RV park, you probably won't need that. The "tweets" are sent right to your cell phone or computer. An internal battery back-up means alerts continue if power fails.Text Message Alarm Notices Include:
Temperature or humidity goes out of limits
Dual power operation:
120vac with its included wall mount power supply. 12vdc source for use in cars, trucks, campers, boats. Requires 12 Adapter Not Included.SIM Plan Details:A SIM card plan is required for the CM712 to connect to the cell network. Two options are: purchase a T-Mobile SIM card through TemperatureGuard.com (Curent cost in 2013 $150 per year or $12.50 per month with an automatic renewal). Or purchase a SIM from AT&T™ or from any GSM cell service provider worldwide. No SIM card is included with the TemperatureGuard unit.CM712 Features:
One internal temperature sensor
Measuring range -4°F to 154°FAccuracy: +-.4 degreesResolution: 1 degreeOne internal humidity sensorMeasuring range: 0 to 100% RHAccuracy: +- 3%Resolution: 1%
Antenna bulkhead fitting: SMA FemaleCM712
Operating Temperature Range: 32°F to 125°FEnclosure Dimensions: 5.625" x 3.250" x 1.375"Plug-in wall transformer includedFacts and Questions:Q: What is the minimum I need to buy to have a basic monitoring system?A: One CM712 and a SIM plan.Q: What type of SIM card does the CM712 use?A: 1.8V or 3.0V SIM card and complies with the Phase 2 GSM 11.14 standard

Q:"How high do I need to install carbon monoxide alarms in my home?" Thanks. Rebecca
Answer: According to information from one of our manufacturers, you can install a CO alarm at any height in your home. The reason is that the molecular weight of air is almost identical to the weight of carbon monoxide. Air is typically composed of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. Nitrogen has a specific weight of 28.013 while carbon monoxide is almost identical 28.011. CO mixes withAir as their weights are approximately the same.
We advise you put the unit high enough that a child cannot tamper with the unit. Also remember that a minimum of 3 carbon monoxide alarms are recommended for a two story home, one on each level near the stairwells. Put one inside each bedroom if you close bedroom doors at night.
Direct plug-in units, CO alarms connected to a 12 or 24 volt security system and 9 volt battery operated ones give you many options.
We prefer the Costar 9RV, a 9 volt battery powered CO alarm that is for homes or recreational vehicles. These easily mount with two screws. The units cannot be reinstalled on the mounts unless there are batteries installed.
For homes with wired security systems, the CoStar Security System Carbon Monoxide Alarm,12-24SIR is a great choice.
Costar carbon monoxide alarms use a unique sensor that mimics red blood cells. Each sensor takes 28 days to "grow." The sensor reacts with carbon monoxide just as red blood cells do in our bodies. In other words, when a human is exposed to CO, the oxygen in the blood that attaches to red blood cells is replaced gradually by carbon monoxide. When carbon monoxide levels in an area near the sensor reach a level of 70 parts per million in a period of 60 to 240 minutes, the sensor is saturated sufficiently to set off an alarm. Below 35 ppm no alarm will sound. At 150 ppm, the alarm goes off within 10 to 50 minutes. At a level of 400 ppm, the alarm sounds within 4 to 12 minutes. 400 ppm alarm within 4 to 15 minutes.
Safe Home also sells RV carbon monoxide alarms that wire to both 12 volt systems, the coach and the engine, and have a 9 volt battery back-up. The CoStar 12RV-DB 12V RV CO Alarm W/9V Battery Backup protects you even if the 12 volt system is disconnected.
We also sell co alarms by other manufacturers that plug directly into 120VAC outlets. The only problem here is that few outlets are above a child's reach.
Thanks for your question.

Question about the need to apply an anti-slip formula like Grip On on concrete and tile floors that are slippery when wet.
Q; " Why do I need to apply an anti-slip formula on the ceramic tile in my auto showroom? I have some indoor outdoor rug strips at the door for people to wipe their feet." Thanks. Warren
Answer: First, common sense says that preventing possible accidents is the best way to act when you have a floor that gets slippery either from moisture from beneath or from floor cleaning machines or feet. Having just returned from a trip to China, I will share my experience in a toll road restroom area. Imagine a huge, as in at least 75 feet by 50 feet area that includes a large tiled entrance plus tile in all the Asian and "American" toilets and in front of all of them. Imagine that all this area is wet with a cleaning solution. Shall I add that I walked very carefully because my feet were sliding? And I was concerned I might slide right into the Asian toilet (at least it was a flush one!). Secondly, Grip On makes concrete, ceramic, marble, granite, terrazzo, quarry tile, slate, and porcelain tile and bathtubs safer by increasing the coefficient of resistance to slipping and sliding. Yet the treatment is invisible.Third, read what Safety Seal Products, the manufacturer of Grip On writes:
"Slip/fall accidents are a major problem. The statistics are substantial. After auto accidents, SLIP/FALL ACCIDENTS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE OF INSURANCE LIABILITY PAYMENTS. In addition, slip/fall accidents, paid for by workerscompensation claims, have greatly increased over the last 10 years.AAs a general rule of law, if an owner or possessor of a premises is aware of a dangerous condition, which could foresee ably harm an invitee and if he has been put on notice that there is a means to prevent such harm, then it could be inferred that should an accident result in an invitee being harmed, the possessor, owner of the property, would be charged with having the knowledge to correct the defective or accident-causing condition. As a result, the owner may be held to a higher standard of care and his probabilities of being held liable, and for damage against him are likely to be greater. This partial description of negligence is an excerpt from a letter from our corporate attorneys explaining in simple language, if the owner or processor of a building has a dangerous situation (i.e., a floor that is slippery when wet) and is aware that there is a product available at a reasonable cost that can deter that accident-causing condition and he fails to use it, he has a greater chance of being held liable."
So if you want to keep employees and customers safe and keep your insurance premiums down, we suggest you treat that flooring and any other unsealed concrete flooring in bathrooms, work areas, etc. with Grip On. Application is fast. You need a clean floor, grease free that is unsealed. You need a mop, a bucket and clean water plus the Grip On. The application lasts for 1 to 3 years or more depending upon the location. Never wax that floor or seal it.
Grip on is inexpensive. Buy in 4 ounce, 16 ounce, gallon, 5 gallon or barrel containers.

Question about which child safety window guards are approved for use in New York City.
Q: "We are converting a warehouse into apartments. Which window guards are approved for use in New York City? Thanks. Tim."
Answer: The John Sterling 1120 series fixed window guards are New York City Approved window bars for non sleeping areas. Approvals for the JS-1120 series are #HDWG 05-87-86 and HDWG-04-93-09 for use only in double hung style windows. Never install on a window leading to a fire escape even if this is a non-sleeping room. Check your local borough code for approved window guards for sleeping rooms. Remember that most fire truck ladders can reach only to the 6th story. We recommend that residents in apartment buildings have regularly tested smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, a fire escape plan and smoke hoods.
The JS-1120 series come in a variety of sized. Included are the mounting screws and the window guard unit. These guards offer increased home security and child safety. Just enter the product code/codes of the units you want to see them on our webiste.
The white John Sterling 1120 series come in these sizes.
The black John Sterling 1120DB series come in these sizes. These unit take 2 to 6 weeks for delivery after they are ordered.

Question about the FloodStop for Sinks Lead Free Water Valve FS3/8CD.
Question: "Our neighbor recently had extensive water damage from a leak under a bathroom sink. The sink is in a rarely used bathroom. The first hint of the water leak was the damp spot on the ceiling in the room below. What product do you suggest for protecting our guest room sink which is rarely used? Thanks. Sam."
Answer: For a single location, install the FloodStop for Sinks Lead Free Water Valve FS3/8CD. The "CD" stands for compression fitting, i.e. no soldering is required. The Floodcheck water valves connect to the angle stops and supply lines. FloodStop water valves are full port ball valves that meet the California and Vermont lead free water valve standards for drinking water. Add additional sensors for more coverage under the sink. Do remember that you will need an unswitched electrical outlet for power: electricity is used only when the sensor detects water.When a hot or cold water leak is detected, Floodstop shuts off the water below the sink and sounds an 87 db alarm.
Installation: Connect the water valve to cold and hot water lines under the sink. Mount the control unit. Place sensor(s) on floor. Plug power supply into an unswitched outlet. Note: electricity is used only when the sensor detects water. NOTE: DO NOT PLACE SENSOR DIRECTLY ON METAL PAN OR DAMP FLOOR. If no water is present and alarm sounds, place paper towel or cloth under sensor to "insulate" against floor dampness or metal of pan. When the paper or cloth gets wet, the sensor activates the shut-off and sounds the alarm.How FloodStop (FS 3/8-CD) Works: FloodStop valves connect to the angle stops and supply lines. Water leak sensor is placed at the base of the fixture (sink, laundry tubs, bathtub, etc.). Valve remains open until a water leak or water loss is detected. Water on the sensor signals the Floodstop controller which closes the valve and alarms. Valve remains closed until system is reset, and sensor is dry. FloodStop (FS 3/8-CD) Components: Motorized Ball Valves (Two Valves, 3/8 inch Compression Fitting). Control unit with battery backup (4 C batteries, not included). AC power adaptor (or use 4 C Batteries as primary power source). Water leak sensor (1.25" X 7.5"). Output contact wires (2). Technical Specifications: UL Listed Class 2 Wall Adaptor, 115AC/9VDC. UPC listed, full port, motorized ball valves. Motor operates at 6VDC. Rated 0-180 PSI. Max 250 PSI. Solid brass. Signal outputs: 2 normally closed. Alarm: beeping with mute button. Features: For added water detection protection, add more sensors. Sensors plug into sensors, NOT the Control Box. The 3/8 inch valve is 3.75 inches long. Controller has reset and test buttons to test valve performance plus battery back up. Easy to install, operate, and maintain. Designed for residential, condo and apartment dwellings. Full port ball valves automatically shut off water supply to sink when water sensor/sensors get wet. Power: 120VAC and/or battery backup (4 C batteries). No wires to route throughout the home. Alarm: beeping with mute button. Water Sensor: 1.5" X 7.5", double sided. Additional sensors may be added in series. AC Adapter Cord Length: 6 Ft. Wire Length from the Controller to the Valve: About 30 Inches Long. FloodStop Controller: 3 buttons: Mute, Close Valve and Open Valve. Water sensitivity adjustment. Clockwise: less sensitive. Counter clockwise: More sensitive. 4-pin connection to valve/sensor connector. Outputs: Normally closed. Contacts for any device that can utilize them, like auto phone dialers, alarm systems, X10 home automations devices. One year limited manufacturer warranty.
I hope this helps with your situation.
If you want whole house protection, a install the Floodstop Whole House Auto Water Valve System. This unit comes in 3/4", 1" and 1.25" valve sizes. Included with each system are one Motorized Full-Port Ball Valve,one Controller (that shuts off the main water valve),four Sensor Modules, four sensors to place in areas you want protected, one transformer for the controller and four low voltage transformers for the sensor modules. This unit screws onto the water pipe, i.e. it is an NPT or National Pipe Thread Tapered Thread.

Q: " I have just screen sizes for casement windows I want to protect with window guards. Can you help me? Thanks. Sondra.
Here is a list of the screen sizes you provided and the window guards suggested by John Sterling.
If the second dimension is height, then turn the guards to mount vertically like prison bars. Use only the fixed if possible because the swing units could swing down and cause injury to someone.
Please go to the SafeHomeProducts.com website for more information.
Hope this helps. Thanks for your questions.

Johannesburg - The City of Joburg's new DA-led government is saddled with an inappropriate budget it inherited from the previous ANC-led administration.
So said Mayor Herman Mashaba delivering his 100-day speech.
"I am in the unfortunate position of inheriting a budget and an integrated development plan (IDP) that was passed just two months before voters demanded change.
As a result, our administration has to operate off a budget and IDP that represents the kind of 'business as usual' that voters rejected in the elections and we have to operate with this for the remaining ten months of the financial year.
As a new administration, we cannot make amendments to the budget until the end of February 2017 when the auditor general permits adjustments to our budget, providing they are not substantial," he said.
He said within that budget were hundreds of millions of rands committed to vanity projects.
"What they did not tell you on those radio adverts and billboards, is that long-term neglect has produced a 10-year, R170 billion funding gap on capital infrastructure," he said.
Under the previous administration, the city:
* Stands at 42% of the debt to revenue ratio that National Treasury limits to 45% as a debt ceiling;
* Has 881 000 unemployed people – with an unemployment rate over 30%;
* Has seen 190 000 people joined the ranks of the unemployed;
* Has a stagnant economy, with growth of around 2%;
* Has a housing backlog of over 300 000 and an average delivery of only 3500 housing units being constructed per year; and
* Is home to over 180 informal settlements, with more than half of these with no basic services at all.
Since taking office, said Mashaba, the DA has been inundated daily with cases of corruption, nepotism and fraud.
"It has gotten to the point where we could not investigate as quickly as the cases were rolling in," he said.
Another of his concerns is that the previous administration allowed the inner city to be taken over by criminal elements, drug dealers and slum lords.
"We have over 115 000 people illegally occupying buildings in our inner city, most of who are living in the most appalling conditions," he said.
The previous administration was obsessed with the city's international image.
"This city spent hundreds of millions of rands promoting an artificial image of the city that not even their strongest supporters actually believed," he said.
Some R153 million was spent in two years on self-promoting advertising and R193 million spent in three years on travel.
"These are the symptoms of an administration that was out of touch with the needs of its own people. It would merrily spend R340 million on a new state of the art council chamber when it could not electrify informal settlements, issue title deeds, or lift a finger to combat the rampant drug trade in our city," he said.
Investors and developers with millions invested in the city are dedicated and passionate - they just need a government who can clean up the city and get the basics right, he said.
With only R10 billion set aside annually for capital expenditure, and a R170 billing funding gap for capital infrastructure over the next 10 years, the city is going to have to work with the private sector.
"The private sector can easily pour R20 billion each year into our inner City and turn it into a construction site within a matter of months. We need to create quality low cost housing for our people and rental space for small business and entrepreneurs to flourish," he said.
Under the new administration, Mashaba promised:
* Council will vote at the next council meeting on an amendment to the supply chain management policy that will start the very first open tender system;
* Initiate a process of reviewing this policy with the intention of ensuring tenders are broken down into smaller parts in order for small businesses to benefit;
* In revenue, by the end of December, the city will have concluded a diagnostic exercise focusing on the four elements of the billing system;
* The city will regard inner city rejuvenation as a key priority;
* The city has already doubled the cleaning shifts of Pikitup in the inner city including a night shift to serve the businesses operating at night;
* JMPD have invested a massive presence in the inner city to manage traffic flows, enforce by-laws and provide visible policing;
* A team of human rights lawyers will be assembled to assist the city to reclaim the inner city from slum-lords;
* The city will provide the support small and medium sized businesses need to expand into larger businesses that employ people;
* As of 21 November, the city has established seven SME hubs throughout the city and since 25 August, the city has proved supported to 2 895 SMEs. The plans are to expand this to 12 hubs over the next year;
* An investment fast-track team is being established;
* The city has initiated a review of all by-laws in the city, with a focus on those by-laws that are involved in the decision making processes pertaining to economic development;
* The city will expand the rollout of its free Wifi network;
* The city is re-positioning Joburg's image as a tourism destination;

 + A **stable** version is a version with a frozen set of features, and a frozen **API**. We don't release a version if all the integration tests are not passing, so any release should be considered stable enogh to be used.
 + Although we may add new features between two milestones, and the data structure may change, which may imply that the data have to be extracted and reimported in order for the server to be operational.

Nonlinear spectroscopy with a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL)
- Citations
- 225 Downloads
We have evaluated the suitability of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser diode (VCSEL) for spectroscopic applications. Despite its low output power it is possible to observe narrow resonances in a saturated absorption spectroscopy experiment on the cesium D2 transition at 852 nm, limited in width by the laser linewidth of several tens of MHz. High modulation efficiency of the VCSEL allows us to create modulation sidebands at 9.2 GHz frequency via direct modulation of the laser injection current. Using the carrier and either one of the sidebands coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances in a buffered cesium vapor can be prepared with linewidths below 130 Hz. With this very compact setup we have studied the dependence of CPT resonance position and linewidth as a function of optical detuning and find evidence of the influence of the excited state hyperfine structure.

Well, it's official. Brett Favre will put off mowing lawns professionally and will return to the green and gold for one more season.
Possibly the most beloved player of all time by his hometown fans, Favre may be throwing himself to the wolves without a legitimate offensive line. But we admit, we love Brett (did we mention he mows his own lawn) and wish him the best.
We all know that Green Bay is like a well oiled machine and Brett Favre is the oil. Without the oil, the machine stops. The people of Green Bay will have one more year before their personal Jesus leaves and the city becomes nothing more than a glorified Gary, Indiana.

Cyber Monday is Coming
Meijer, Walgreens and drugstore.com are among the 90 percent of retailers offering special online promotions this coming Cyber Monday — the Monday following Thanksgiving — according to Shop.org's eHoliday Survey, conducted by BIGresearch.
Meijer, Walgreens and drugstore.com are among the 90 percent of retailers offering special online promotions this coming Cyber Monday — the Monday following Thanksgiving — according to Shop.org's eHoliday Survey, conducted by BIGresearch.
According to the study, nearly nine in 10 (87.1 percent) retailers will have a special promotion, up from 83.7 percent last year and 72.2 percent in 2007. The most popular promotions are expected to be specific deals (42.9 percent), one-day sales (32.9 percent) and free shipping on all purchases (15.7 percent). Half of the retailers surveyed will distribute promotions and deals to shoppers through a special Cyber Monday e-mail. Meijer, for example, is offering free shipping to shoppers that day, and online shoppers who spend $150 on two or more items will receive a free $25 gift card.
"Retailers have a very acute sense of the importance of Cyber Monday in kick-starting holiday sales and have been planning their promotions for months," said Scott Silverman, executive director of Shop.org. "It seems like companies up the ante every year for Cyber Monday, and many holiday shoppers are eagerly anticipating the bargains that await them this year."
Cyber Monday, a term coined by Shop.org in 2005, began after retailers noticed a trend of people shopping online on the Monday after Thanksgiving. Today, Cyber Monday is viewed as the ceremonial kickoff to the online holiday shopping season, when shoppers flood Web sites expecting robust promotions and many retailers highlight some of their most compelling holiday offers.
While online retailers will feature promotions and savings on their own sites, more than 700 companies have come together again this year to feature their Cyber Monday deals in one place. At CyberMonday.com, launched three years ago, retailers will post holiday promotions and special savings both on Cyber Monday and throughout the holidays. Powered by Mall Networks, CyberMonday.com was created by retailers as a one-stop shop for consumers looking for the best Cyber Monday promotions.
In addition to hundreds of special offers, some of which will be exclusive promotions only available on the site, CyberMonday.com will feature a Deal of the Hour on both Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year, highlighting a different retail promotion every 60 minutes. (Most retailers participating in Black Friday Deals of the Hour were to have been announced on Tuesday, Nov. 24; Cyber Monday Deals of the Hour will be announced on Sunday, Nov. 29.) Offers will include free shipping specials, dollars off, percentages off and free gifts with purchase.
Additionally, CyberMonday.com leverages popular social media sites to drive viral marketing of these promotions, with visibility on Facebook, Twitter and text deal alerts. More than $250 in retail gift cards will be distributed each day to fans and followers through Christmas.
All CyberMonday.com proceeds received by Shop.org benefit its Ray M. Greenly Scholarship Fund, which helps students pursuing careers in retail. Ray Greenly was a VP at Shop.org before passing away from cancer in 2005. More than $900,000 has been raised for the scholarship fund through CyberMonday.com to date.
The Shop.org eHoliday Study, conducted by BIGresearch, polled 70 retailers and was conducted from Sept. 14 through Oct. 6, 2009. The poll on consumer shopping at work was conducted for Shop.org by BIGresearch from Nov. 3-10, 2009. The survey, which polled 8,692 consumers, has a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percent.
BIGresearch is a consumer market intelligence firm that provides consumer insights that are gathered online utilizing very large sample sizes.
Shop.org, a division of the National Retail Federation, represents digital retailers across all retail channels, and is composed of more than 600 members.

>>>Please note that Im getting email notifications ONLY when new tickets are created but NO EMAIL NOTIFICATION when a ticket is assigned to an administrator nor when a ticket is closed?Why?>>
Because your POP3 (Incoming email) needs to be configured.
Did your test pass when you entered these Hotmail POP3 settings?
Aug 21, 2007 at 12:35 UTC
The test failed when I entered the above Hotmail POP3 settings?
Please explain whats need to be done?
Could you suggest another dedicated free email account whereby I can get a good POP3 server along with its port?
Aug 21, 2007 at 2:38 UTC
Hotmail doesn't actually have a POP3 or SMTP server.
Hotmail uses it's own proprietary servers for sending and receiving emails on clients, which is why only some clients such as Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail (plus thunderbird with the extension installed) can access your hotmail emails.
I recommend using your ISP's pop and smtp servers for sending and receiving emails with Spiceworks, mostly because you would have gotten those settings with your internet account.
Aug 22, 2007 at 5:38 UTC
I have created another email account on http:/
as email@example.com with Pop3 server being pop.gmail.com, port=995; smtp server=smtp.gmail.com with port=465, but the test failed. Please see attached file.
Can anyone please explain how to resolve this problem & help me out please?

We believe success in the 21st Century depends on several fundamental skills: Technological expertise, fluency in English, and the self-confidence to assert oneself as an individual and as a member of a team.
We achieve this model through simultaneous public and private ownership of our projects. Our ideal formula is to obtain 40 percent of our financing from the national, regional or local government, 30 percent from private in-country funds, and 30 percent donated from the US.
We emphasize programs in technology and language that lead either to further study at the university level or technological training schools so that our graduates can be gainfully employed at the forefront of a new vibrant economy. Their expertise will also attract new businesses to the area and expand already existing industries.
We have developed an innovative curriculum for preschool through 11th grade using One Laptop Per Child in grades 1-5 and Intel Classmate computers and conventional computers at the higher levels. We emphasize English language skills, the use of computers for everyday tasks, and the use of the internet both for research and for exploration far beyond the geographic and psychological barriers of the students' lives.
Beginning at the kindergarten level, our students are given computers to use in class, take home, take apart and learn from.
The foundation is currently developing the VUELA (Taking Flight) Project to use the laptops in innovative ways to improve education. We use computers to teach English, Spanish and Mathematics and to help the students to create 3D graphics, compose music, and take pictures.
We encourage both teachers and students to use the computers to improve their research abilities and to develop critical thinking and leadership skills. The students learn work as a team and to follow a plan from its inception to its completion.
English is taught using SMART Boards, interactive white boards that not only function like old fashioned blackboards but allow teachers to project anything from their computer screen onto the board. It's erasable and can also save pages.
The Marina Orth Foundation has been training teachers in computer technology since 2005. Teachers now use computers routinely to communicate, assign homework, file grades and schedule meetings. The Foundation is also training the teachers to use educational software to enrich their teaching methods in the classroom.

And it's not because of my face it's because of my body I barely have any boobs and I feel like I have a small butt even though some people say my butt is kinda big. I been doing lunges for 10-20 minutes for like a week and I see no results and I don't really know how to make my boobs bigger and I don't want to put tissue and stuff inside my bra I just want to have a natural pretty body like the other girls and I don't know how:( and my weight issues are going up and down one minute I way 145 then I end up weighting 138 then it goes back up again :( my body issues are stressing me out what can I do :(

You need a workout partner or someone to help get you kick started every day. You should probably change your diet. What's most important is that you stick with the regiment. You can calculate how long before you start to see a difference based on your BMI. For me I start seeing results after two days.
In short you need to stick with whatever exercise program you choose and require a strong support system. Maybe try bodybuilding. com? It's basically an online social network for people who work out and set body goals.11|00|0

Once we've identified a situation where care for a degenerative disorder is taking place, we are able to signup those caregivers for additional training to reinforce important protocols and information. While most of our staff is experienced in this type of care, we make sure caregivers are aware of how their client's disease could progress and what to expect as their needs change. If our staff, the client or their family ever have questions about the condition or in how to provide care, our team of Registered Nurses is on call and ready to assess and offer training, giving comfort and peace of mind to those involved.
Homewatch CareGivers® is a trademark owned by Homewatch International, Inc.™ and licensed for use to independently-owned franchised businesses that offer caregiver services to the public. All personal services, elderly care, caregiving and home care services offered OR provided under the Homewatch CareGivers™ mark are offered and provided only by independently-owned franchises and, where required, licensed OR registered businesses and care agencies.

G day
My girlfriend and i are planning a three month trip in SA. Through the help of other posts here we've worked out a rough plan to get from Buenos Aires to lima, the next stage is onto Sao Paulo from there. We would like to do the inca trail and maybe see Iguazu falls if possiable, we we're thinking about going overland but is there any legs of the journey you would recomend flying? We would have about 2 months to make to trip, we don't mind going off the beaten track, would you suggest this to be enough time?
Thanks in advance

We have a moderate sized repository with roughly the following size:
* Around 1M total objects
* Around 100K documents (PDFs, office docs, text, xml etc)
* Around 3TB of data in datastore (majority of which are non-indexable
binary files)
Recently we had to re-index the repository as the search index got out of
sync with the rest of the data. During that we encountered out-of-memory
issue several times. We had to increase the heap size to 64GB before the
re-indexing finally finished. The total RAM taken up by the Java process
during re-indexing steadily climbed to 60GB and stayed there till the
indexing finished.
We are using pretty standard search configuration as shown below:
Ā Ā <SearchIndex
Ā Ā </SearchIndex>
We tried playing with a few configuration settings such as
extractorPoolSize, maxMergeDocs etc without any appreciable impact on RAM
Some questions that we have are:
1) Is this high memory usage expected during indexing?
2) Can we make any configuration change to manage it?
3) Are there any improvements expected in Jackrabbit 3 (Project Oak)?

The First Performance Review Software Available in South Africa
In accordance with the 2014 Labour Law
The Performance Review Software helps you determine quickly and accurately:
- your employees' skill levels;
- how every employee contributes to overall business performance;
- the training and skill enhancing requirements for every one of your employees;
- how to properly motivate your employees;
- the required disciplinary measures.
Click here for more information.
The Practical Guide to Human Resources Management says, if you have all your employees sign a performance contract, you make sure they agree to specific job outputs and targets.
This contract ensures your employee knows what you expect from him. This is the key to performance management.
A performance contract will also make it easier for you to conduct performance appraisals or reviews.
That's because your employee will have to produce evidence based on targets on his performance contract when you assess him.
Here's another important reason to make your employees sign a performance contract.
The critical clauses you must include in your new hire's employment contract
You employment contract is a vital document! You must ensure you develop it along the legal requirements. There are 16 clauses you have to include. And we've included the 12 others that will protect you as an employer. Cover all your bases when it comes to a new employee's contract.
That's right.
If, for example, you fire your employee for poor performance and he later accuses you of unfair dismissal, a performance contract will help you prove your innocence. You'll have evidence that shows the dismissal is justified because he didn't meet the agreed performance targets.
If you want to find out how to draft a performance contract, checkout the Practical Guide to Human Resources Management for more information.

It is Dengue-3 virus this time
There are four strains of Dengue – 1, 2, 3 and 4. One is expected to be infected by the same strain only once in their lifetime as antibodies formed will protect him from that strain forever. Dengue-1 causes high fever and joint pain. Dengue-2 causes haemorrhagic fever resulting in spontaneous bleeding form skin and gums. Dengue-3 causes high fever and Dengue-4 causes DHF (Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever) with shock leading to un-recordable blood pressure. In DHF a person bleeds to death both internally and externally because of excessive lowering of platelets.
The 1996 outbreak was the most fatal caused by the Dengue-2 strain. Over 550 people died in the 1996 outbreak. Fortunately, this strain has not returned with that ferocity. But there is every possibility that it will make a comeback someday.
The update from Delhi is that there has been one more fatality reported in last two days taking the toll to 16.

Need Design Help For Man Turning 100!!!
Decorating By still_learning Updated 10 Sep 2009 , 3:37am by MissCathcart
Here's some background... doing the cake for a friend. She and I aren't super close but it will still be a freebie - sigh... I'm thinking I'd like to do something simple that won't take me forever. I am really slow and every single cake I make takes way more time than I expect (mostly because I'm a little bit of a perfectionist). I don't want to get no sleep over this one - here's to hoping! They will be picking up the cake so I won't be there to set up and fix any last minute things. Would you guys recommend fondant because it's less likely to get damaged? Thanks!
What about a simple "This Is Your Life" cake. Big enough to feed everyone, and get some pics of his life put onto fondant and place them like a photo album or scrap book.
Don't have access to an edible image printer? Some grocery stores that offer them on cakes will print for you. OR Print them onto card stock, laminate or cover in Saran Wrap, and put on the cake with 'corner' tags. (Put some Saran under the laminate.)
Simply the numbers 100 out of cake sitting on top of a sheet cake...........would be cool
Go to Google Images, and type in 1909 in the search box. You might get a few ideas that way.

To the Editor:
Re ''Poor Nations and the Debt Trap'' (editorial, April 30):
Providing debt relief to the poorest countries would not only increase primary school enrollment, but it would also save lives. Fourteen percent of children in Tanzania reportedly die before age 5, and 40 percent of Tanzania's population dies by age 35, yet the country spends nine times more on foreign debt payments than on health care.
The debt relief bill introduced in Congress would require each country receiving debt relief to establish a human development fund to hold the debt relief savings. The use of the fund would be restricted to reducing the number of people living in poverty, expanding access to education and health care, and preventing environmental degradation. The bill excludes countries that support international terrorism or that have excessive military spending, gross violations of human rights, or drug trafficking.

Today is my last day working at Ovum. After nearly five years with the company, split between London and Melbourne, as an editor and an analyst in two different teams, it's time for me to move on.
It's been amazing. I've made some lifelong (I hope) friends, learned an incredible amount, and done some things that I would never have thought possible five years ago. Ovum is full of great people with intelligence and integrity, and I wish them all every success.
It's sad to leave, but the time is right for something new. I will be taking up a role with a large Australian digital media business, which I expect will provide plenty to sink my teeth into. I am looking forward to "doing" rather than "talking about".
Before I go, I want to thank Lee Hope for hiring me (as an editor) in the first place. At the time I had just landed in London, and I chose Ovum over another job offer that paid slightly more, because I got a great vibe from the team that interviewed me at Ovum. It was the right decision. I grew as an editor, and the nine months I spent in his team provided a great grounding in how this whole analyst thing works. I still feel like an honourary life-member of Team Editorial.
Thanks to Mike Philpott who offered me my first analyst role, in his Consumer team. Mike is an excellent analyst and one of the most supportive and encouraging managers I have ever had. He's also a great bloke despite his unfortunate devotion to English rugby.
The bulk of my time in London was spent working with Adam Leach and Tony Cripps in the Devices & Platforms team. This was basically the best job ever. Travelling around talking to interesting people and technology companies; writing about smartphones and tablets just as they were really taking off; and generally learning a ridiculous amount from two of the smartest guys in the room, while having a hell of a lot of fun. The fact that much of this learning occurred in the pub doesn't diminish it in any way! Thanks guys.
And thanks to Adrian Drury, who recruited me into his Media & Broadcast Technology team and allowed me to transfer home to Melbourne. I learned a lot – very fast – from Adrian, and it was a real buzz working together with the local teams to build an Asia-Pac client base virtually from scratch.
Finally, a more general thanks to all my other friends and accomplices (who are too numerous to name but you know who you are) at the company. I wish you all the best, I hope we stay in touch, and I thank you all for sharing your knowledge and good humour with me. I hope we can have a pint or a coffee together, in Melbourne or in London, soon.
Onwards and upwards.

With nearly 100 Triangle-area entrepreneurs, investors and students in attendance, 13 InCube companies presented themselves to a panel compromised of Tobi Walter of Shoeboxed.com, John Austin of Groundwork Labs and Lister Delgado of IDEA Fund Partners. Respectful in tone, but nonetheless tough, the panel lobbed questions about product feature choices, marketplace potential and business models to students that were clearly eager to grow their startups well beyond the confines of Duke's walls.
And there are a number of companies well on their way to commercialization. You have Sid Kandan bringing interior 3D mapping technology from the lab to the masses; Tatiana Birgisson of Mati Tea launching packaged tea business that has already acquired real customers and Alex Brown of Crowdcourse providing a platform for community-driven education.
However, what I found most interesting wasn't the success of the InCube companies but their failures and pivots. See, the most exciting part about being a young entrepreneur is that you really don't know that you're not supposed to be able to do something. You dream big, try hard, sometimes succeed but often fail. But no matter what happens you always learn and move forward.
This was best articulated by Fabio Berger and his company WealthLift.com. Since its launch, WealthLift has garnered more than 33,000 users - no small feat - but Fabio and his co-founders realized that the company wasn't generating enough money to sustain its existence. As a result, they've decided to learn from their mistakes and explore new ventures that address the problems they themselves ran into as entrepreneurs.
Fabio outlined three learning lessons that I think all technology entrepreneurs - whether students or post-grad - should take to heart.
Users do not equal revenue.
When it comes down to it, acquiring paying customers is hard work. The total number of people using your product or service doesn't matter at all if none of them are paying you for the privilege. To succeed, you need to find a way to monetize users to create a cash flow positive business that enables you to grow and expand. Otherwise, you're on a fast-track to a pivot.
Don't judge an industry by it's cover. Dig into the business models to find where you can sustain the business.
It's way too easy to make assumptions about your competitors and market opportunity, especially in early-stage startups. Don't fall into assuming you biases are correct. Talk to your prospects, customers, competitors. Learn from other people's mistakes as much as you can. It will make it much to find a sustainable business model.
The 80/20 rule is everywhere.
It might be cliche, but it's also absolutely true. See, as an entrepreneur you'll always have significantly more to do (and options in front of you) than you can possibly tackle given your staff and financial resources. However if you focus on the low hanging fruit - that 20% that generates 80% of the value - you'll find success much more quickly.

In celebration of the 27th annual National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD), USA Rugby is reflecting on some important milestones in USA Women's Rugby history, and would like to thank countless USA Rugby members, coaches and staff for their work to move girls and women's rugby forward, on and off the field.

Fast Facts on Women's Rugby in America
• USA Rugby leads the world in women's rugby participation with over 20,000 participants
• Over 3,000 girls are participating in high school rugby
• There are 35 different state championships for Youth and High School girls
• There are 347 women's collegiate rugby clubs and plans for Women's Rugby to become a recognized NCAA Sport in the near future
• USA Rugby now has 16 contracted, full-time women's rugby sevens residents at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA
• USA Rugby is currently developing the first ever Olympic Development Program and Eagle Training Centers for Women's USA National Team development
USA Women's Rugby Achievements
• In 1985, the first semblance of a USA Women's National Team was formed. An 'invitation-only' team was put together and made up of, arguably, the top women playing the game at the time. The team was named WIVERN and toured throughout England and France. The team finished the tour undefeated.
• In 1987 the USA Women's National Team was officially born with their first match against the Canadian Women's National Team. Although the women were not permitted to wear the Eagle logo, this match was sanctioned by Rugby Canada and USA Rugby. USA and Canada began holding an annual match, which became known as the CanAm series. For ten years the Women Eagles went undefeated in this test series.
• In 1990 the Women's National Team, competing under the name 'USA Presidents 15',traveled to New Zealand to compete in the historic Women's World Rugby Festival. The WNT posted a record of 3-1 with their only loss coming at the hands of New Zealand.
• In 1991, the USA Women's National Team won the inaugural Women's World Cup. In front of a crowd of about 5,000 people, the Eagles went on to control England in the final 19-6 and take the title.
• In 1994, the USA Women's National Team took second at the World Cup. The United States lost a competitive game to England 38-23 in the second ever Women's Rugby World Cup, hosted in Scotland.
• In the third IRB Women's World Cup in 1998, the USA Women finished second, losing to New Zealand 44-12. This was the first Women's World Cup fully sanctioned by the IRB, and was held in the Netherlands.
• In both 2006 and 2010, the USA Women's National Team took 5th place in the IRB Women's World Cups in Edmonton, Canada and London, England. The first female USA Rugby National Team Coach, Kathy Flores, coached both teams.
• In 2008, the USA Women's National 7s Team, coached by the first female USA Rugby National 7s Team Coach, Jules McCoy, won the Hong Kong 7s for the first time ever. The USA beat Canada 21-7 in the final in front of 40,000 fans.
• In 2009, the USA Women's National 7s Team competed in the first ever, combined Men's & Women's IRB Rugby Sevens World Cup in Dubai, UAE, barely losing to New Zealand in the semi-finals.
• On December 18, 2010, a USA Women's Referee became the first female to ever referee an IRB international game. USA Rugby Referee Dana Teagarden was appointed by the International Rugby Board (IRB) to the senior men's international test match between the Netherlands and Hong Kong in Amsterdam.
• In January 2012, USA Rugby announced the first full-time contracts for USA Women's and Men's Rugby 7s players. In partnership with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), 23 rugby sevens athletes received fulltime training contracts.
• In November 2012, USA Women won the first ever IRB Women's Sevens World Series Shield, taking home some historic hardware. On Day2, the USA beat China and France decisively to win the Bowl.
• On February 1st and 2nd, 2013, USA Rugby and the BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, Texas hosted the second stop on the inaugural IRB Women's Sevens World Series. Twelve teams played historic matches all weekend with the USA Women taking 2nd place.
What is National Girls and Women in SportsDay?
NGWSD was started by the National Association for Girls and Women in Sports to honor Olympic volleyball athlete Flo Hyman for her achievements and work in women's equality in sports. Since Hyman's death in 1986, the NGWSD has become aday where we remember the past and celebrate current sports achievement for women.
"Today, strong girls and women excel in many areas of athletics, even in traditionally male-dominated sports. Females reach their goals, break records and win championships. Participating in sports creates champions on and off the field. These champions not only lead in their respective sports, they lead in their homes, in their schools, at their jobs, and in their communities. They lead on a path that has been paved by skilled and accomplished women who have gone before them."
-National Association of Girls and Women in Sports
This day recognizes all the women who have overcome adversity and given other women in sports the opportunity to participate. It celebrates the progress women's sports has made and honors those who worked hard to make it happen.

US Gulf states put on emergency alert for tropical storm Isaac
Tropical storm Isaac took aim at Louisiana and other US Gulf states yesterday, prompting them to declare states of emergency almost seven years after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans.
The storm was lashing the Florida coast and with winds reaching 100 kilometres per hour, could reach hurricane force today, the Miami-based National Hurricane Centre warned.
Early yesterday, Isaac was churning 290 kilometres southwest of Fort Myers, Florida, heading across the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where it was expected to gather strength.
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama issued emergency warnings on Sunday, 24 hours after Isaac forced the main programme of the US Republican convention in Tampa, Florida, to be curtailed by one day.
Ahead of Isaac's expected landfall today or tomorrow along the Gulf coast, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley ordered mandatory evacuations in the southern counties of Mobile and Baldwin.
In Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal recommended voluntary evacuations within the hurricane watch area.
Hurricane Katrina made landfall along the Mississippi-Louisiana border on August 29, 2005 - eventually killing around 1,800 people in New Orleans.

Warriors coach Andrew McFadden has come through a bruising week with a mix of relief and pride after his understrength side lifted for a 26-10 NRL win over St George Illawarra.
The home side had 10 players unavailable through either injury or being dumped to reserve grade for breaking team protocol after a night out in Melbourne at the start of the week.
That followed their limp 42-0 defeat to the Storm on Monday and facing opponents they had lost to in their previous 11 meetings.
But a team stacked with fringe players, given a big cheer by the 12,752 crowd when they ran out, showed plenty of endeavour in a win that lifts the Warriors up to 10th.
"Relief is a big one," McFadden said of his post-match emotions on Sunday.
"It's been a big week and probably not many people understand how big a week that was for the players and how much pressure they were under but I'm very proud."
The Warriors scored four tries to two, with two players not originally selected – Matthew Allwood and Jeff Robson – getting four-pointers in Auckland.
They climb one place above the Dragons and are out of the top eight only by points differential.
The Warriors had sent six players – including first-team regulars Manu Vatuvei, Ben Matulino and Bodene Thompson – to reserve grade after a night out was followed by some of them missing a morning team meeting.
McFadden said their replacements, including the likes of lock John Palavi, playing his first NRL match in two years, brought plenty of energy.
As for whether the six who were stood down would be able to force their way back for the Warriors' next match, against Penrith in Christchurch in two weeks, he said it was a case of wait and see.
"Everyone makes mistake and those guys have made mistakes, and they've been held accountable and they deserve a second chance," he said.
"Whether that is enough to get them in the team, we'll see."
St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor said attitude was a key difference between the sides.
With the Dragons down 18-10 at halftime, he was confident his team had second-half points in them.
"But unfortunately, they just ran a lot harder than us and tackled a lot harder than us, and that's the game of footy," he said.
"Attitude is everything. A lot of about rugby league is mental strength and today we just weren't mentally tough."
The Dragons' cause wasn't helped by having tries to Gareth Widdop and Benji Marshall rubbed out on review because of obstruction by lead runners.
In the second instance, the Warriors, rather than being pegged back to 12-12, swept upfield from the penalty and Charlie Gubb's converted try made for an 18-6 scoreline.
McGregor was philosophical about the bunker's decisions.
"They had a big bearing on the momentum of how the game changes during that period but you just have to move on from that."
