Let the memory of George be with us forever

This memorial website was created in memory of our loved one, George Schreier, 34, born on October 28, 1981 and passed away on February 19, 2016. We will remember him forever.

By his father, Bob

I went home last night hoping to get some sleep but found it to be difficult.

So I got up and tried to talk with you but got no answer.  I wanted to tell you

a joke so I could hear that laugh again which everyone remembers.

I’m sorry you were taken away from all of us when your greatest journey here

was just beginning.

Mom and I are proud of the way you expressed love for your wife and children

because few men will ever demonstrate that in a lifetime.

Thank you for being a cherished son, husband, father, brother and friend who

I will always refer to as “Georgie”.

All Medical Procedures

Cataract surgery is a procedure to remove the lens of your eye and, in most cases, replace it with an artificial lens. Cataract surgery is used to treat the clouding of the normally clear lens of your eye (cataract).

Cataract surgery is performed by an eye doctor (ophthalmologist) on an outpatient basis, which means you don't have to stay in the hospital after the surgery. Cataract surgery is very common and is generally a safe procedure.

A cornea transplant, also called keratoplasty, is a surgical procedure to replace part of your cornea with corneal tissue from a donor. Your cornea is the transparent, dome-shaped surface of your eye that accounts for a large part of your eye's focusing power.

A cornea transplant can restore vision, reduce pain and improve the appearance of a damaged or diseased cornea.

Most cornea transplant procedures are successful. But cornea transplant carries a small risk of complications, such as rejection of the donor cornea.

A complete eye exam involves a series of tests designed to evaluate your vision and check for eye diseases. Your eye doctor may use a variety of instruments, shine bright lights directly at your eyes and request that you look through an array of lenses. Each test during an eye exam evaluates a different aspect of your vision or eye health.

Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) eye surgery is a procedure that corrects certain vision problems, reducing or eliminating the need for eyeglasses or corrective lenses.

LASIK eye surgery is the most common type of refractive surgery. Refractive surgery changes the shape of the dome-shaped transparent tissue (cornea) at the front of your eye.

The desired result of LASIK eye surgery is to bend (refract) light rays to focus more precisely on your retina rather than at some point beyond or short of your retina.

The goal of LASIK eye surgery is to produce clearer, sharper vision.

Martino: Puyol could return against Real

Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino has hinted that captain Carles Puyol could return from injury in Wednesday's Copa del Rey final.

Puyol has missed much of the season with knee problems but may feature as Barcelona look to bounce back from a disappointing week against rivals Real Madrid.

After being knocked out of the UEFA Champions League by Atletico Madrid, a surprise 1-0 defeat at Granada on Saturday put a dent in their hopes of retaining the Liga crown.

The return of their inspirational captain, who will leave the club at the season's end, could be the lift that Barcelona need.

Fellow defenders Gerard Pique (hip) and Marc Bartra (hamstring) have also been sidelined recently but Martino revealed on Tuesday that the diagnosis on all three was encouraging.

"We had some rather good news today regarding fitness (of the defenders) and we worked on some ideas of play," Martino said.

"We are going to make our final evaluation after tomorrow morning's training session.

"We've been watching him (Puyol), how his knee and his injury are developing. I have a very high opinion of Puyol, not just as a footballer but as a person and everything he means to the team.

"So if we do decide that he can play tomorrow, I think this could be a very important moment of the season, not just for him but for his colleagues as well."

Martino insisted that the clash versus Real has "nothing to do" with recent defeats, and rejected suggestions that winning the Copa del Rey could save their season.

He added: "This is a final. This has nothing to do with the two recent competitions. This starts and begins on Wednesday. There is no before, there is no after.

"I don't think this is seeking vengeance for what happened in the Champions League and league. It's important because it is a final.

"I don't think we should be trying to make up for things that happened in different competitions. I don't think a win in one game means that it doesn't matter that we lost before.

"I don't want to play down the importance of winning a title, neither do I want to play down the importance of what has happened in the Champions League and La Liga.

"This is a Clasico in a final and it is a very important match. But whether that would mean we feel happier about what happened in those (recent) games, no."

Martino admitted that Barcelona were "suffering" but that the absence of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, who has knee and thigh problems, would boost his team.

He also said that if none of Puyol, Pique and Bartra were fit, they still had enough defensive options.

"At the weekend (against Granada) we realised what different options we have got for centre-back," he continued.

"The game was lost but I don't think that was because problems with defending. I think that was with problems in attack."

First lady cancels trip to NH as Sandy threatens the region

BOSTON (FOX 25 / The first lady has canceled plans to visit the University of New Hampshire next week as Hurricane Sandy threatens to bring heavy winds and rains to the area.

In a statement released on Friday, reps for Michelle Obama cite the closure of the UNH campus on Monday and Tuesday and the storm's potential impact on Durham, NH as the reason for canceling.

Mrs. Obama was scheduled to attend a rally on Tuesday at UNH.

"This change in schedule is being taken out of an abundance of caution to ensure that all local law enforcement and emergency management resources can stay focused on ensuring the safety of people who might be impacted by the storm," says the release.

There is no word on whether or not the storm will have any impact on the first lady's plans to attend a fundraiser in Boston on Tuesday night.

Obama Tells Graduating Class, 'Don't Make Excuses,' Drawing GOP Taunts

President Obama delivers the commencement address for Kalamazoo Central High School in Kalamazoo, Mich., on June 7. (AP Photo)

President Obama delivers the commencement address for Kalamazoo Central High School in Kalamazoo, Mich., on June 7. (AP Photo)

Don't point fingers. Don't make excuses. Don't pass the buck.

That was the advice President Obama gave to a graduating high school class in Michigan Monday night -- advice that sent off an irony alert among Republicans who accuse the president of having "spent his tenure" doing exactly that.

Obama offered his guidance during the commencement speech at Kalamazoo Central High School.

"Don't make excuses. Take responsibility not just for your successes, but for your failures as well," he told the graduates. "The truth is, no matter how hard you work, you won't necessarily ace every class or succeed in every job. There will be times when you screw up, when you hurt the people you love, when you stray from your most deeply held values.

"And when that happens, it's the easiest thing in the world to start looking around for someone to blame. Your professor was too hard, your boss was a jerk, the coach was playing favorites, your friend just didn't understand. We see it every day out in Washington, with folks calling each other names and making all sorts of accusations on TV."

More On This...

He told the students that "pointing fingers" and "blaming parents" and everyone else in their lives is not the road to follow.

Senate Republicans reacted quickly to the speech, sending out a "best-of" list of instances in which Obama was "looking around for someone to blame." The quotes showed Obama using Bush as a scapegoat for everything from the deficit to America's image abroad.

Obama over the past 17 months has selectively blamed the Bush administration for the big problems he now faces.

One of the president's favorite rhetorical devices is the figurative "mop" he uses to clean up what he says were the mistakes of his predecessor.

"I don't mind cleaning up the mess that some other folks made. That's what I signed up to do," he said at a Democratic fundraiser last October.

Obama even chalked up Republican Sen. Scott Brown's upset victory in the Massachusetts special election to Bush-directed outrage in January.

"The same thing that swept Scott Brown into office swept me into office," Obama said in an interview with ABC News. "People are angry, and they're frustrated. Not just because of what's happened in the last year or two years, but what's happened over the last eight years."

Cha-Ching! 7 Surprising Ways to Make Money Off Your Home

doghouse for rent

doghouse for rent  ((c) PM Images)

If you're in need of a little extra cash these days (and frankly, who isn't?), you may not have to look much farther than your own home. Thanks to today's sharing economy -- as in, "share" with price tags attached -- people are reaping rich rewards by renting out some of the most surprising spare parts of their homes and/or belongings to perfect strangers via clever websites and apps.

We're not just talking about renting rooms or entire homes to vacationers on well-known sites such as Airbnb -- you've probably got that one covered already. But there's a myriad of more unusual opportunities that you might not be aware of. For example: Did you ever consider renting out your bathroom? Neither did we. Read on for a few of the more surprising things in your home that could start bringing in a few extra bucks.

Your yard

Earnings: $50 to $500 per hour (depending on size) allows you to let others frolic in your yard, front or back. You can rent it out for events such as weddings, art displays, company picnics, campouts, band concerts, or even pig roasts. The ground's the limit!

Enthusiastic users say it's a lot more fun and less expensive than using commercial space. And hosts get an extra payoff for all the hard work they've put into making their gardens gorgeous.

Your bathroom

Earnings: $2 to $5 per visitor

With Airpnp, willing "entrepeeneurs" list the location of their available bathroom facilities, along with details like cleanliness, fixtures, toilet paper ply, and price per visit (usually about $2 to $5). When a user's "gotta go," the app alerts him or her to the nearest available bathroom, marking it with a cute little blue water drop on a map. It also lets the host know that a guest is on the way.

This app was developed after the creator spent a long night on the parade route in New Orleans with no public restrooms in sight. Although it's not available everywhere, it's getting more popular in cities with lots of foot traffic and public events, including Chicago, New York City, and New Orleans. But you can sometimes find convenient facilities along remote stretches of highways, too.

Your home cooking

Earnings: $25 to $200 per dinner guest

Feastly pairs those who love to cook with those who love to eat but are bored with the restaurant scene. Sign up on the site, and you can invite all sorts of new people in for a nice home-cooked meal, and charge them up to $200 for the privilege.

Some home chefs get really creative, hosting culinary events like a "Pop-Up Brunch Series" or an "Indonesian Bone Broth Hot Pot Dinner." With this site, you can turn your house into a minicafe any night of the week.

Your garage

Earnings: $10 to $110 per day

If you have a spare parking space on your property, either indoors or out, pairs you up with people who need auto storage in your area. You can rent your space for a couple of hours, which is especially popular if you live near a stadium or events center, or a couple of months to someone taking a long trip. Price and duration are set by demand.

What's in your garage

Earnings: $5 to $50 per hour (depending on the item)

We're not talking about becoming an Uber or Lyft driver. Websites and apps like GetAround and JustShareIt allow those who are not picky about their rides to rent them to the wheel-free among us, for an hour to several months. Since all cities worldwide are not yet serviced, you could be the first one in your hometown to lend a wheel, and perhaps be very popular. And if you're up for renting out two wheels instead of four, pairs you up with fellow bike enthusiasts who are not as wheel-endowed as you are.

Your shed, wine cellar, or other storage space

Earnings: $10+ per month

Got an extra locker, shed, or storage unit that is easily accessible? Sites like will help you find people with spare stuff to put in it. Other local sites, easily Google-able, will match you with people who just want a safe, clean, and sometimes climate-controlled environment where they can stash wine, clothes, furs, books, knickknacks, etc. This is popular with people who need just a little space, or would rather have their personal items closer at hand in a more convenient environment.

Your doghouse

Earnings: $25 to $100 per day

On websites like and, dog owners who are going on vacation can find accommodations for their pets locally, in private homes (or their doghouses in their yard), rather than in kennels.

If you're a pet lover who likes nothing better than petting, pampering, and playing with four-footed friends -- and have a pet-friendly home and time to care for and walk them -- this could be the ideal gig for you. It also gives your own pooch excellent opportunities for socialization.

'Skins run over Bucs in final tuneup

Roy Helu rushed for 90 yards and two touchdowns as the Washington Redskins steamrolled the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-3, in the preseason finale for both teams.

Evan Royster added 44 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries and Kirk Cousins went 15-for-27 through the air for 222 yards for the Redskins, who open the regular season with the New Orleans Saints on Sept. 9.

Brett Ratliff was 14-for-30 for 164 yards and three interceptions and Tiquan Underwood caught six passes for 82 yards for the Bucs, who play host to the Carolina Panthers in Week 1.

Billy Cundiff, signed by the Redskins on Tuesday, nailed a pair of field goals in the first quarter from 39 yards and 27 yards out.

The Redskins found the end zone in the second quarter to go up 13-0. Cousins connected with Anthony Armstrong for 46 yards to put Washington on Tampa Bay's 14. Royster took one around the right end for 13 yards before breaking the goal line on the next play.

Cundiff's 22-yarder as time expired in the first half put Washington ahead 16-0.

Cousins was intercepted by Sean Baker in the third quarter, but Washington got it right back when Richard Crawford picked off Ratliff. Cousins found Brandon Banks streaking down the sideline for 47 yards, and Helu found the end zone on the next play with a 15-yard touchdown run.

Tampa Bay finally got on the board with 6:52 remaining in the third when Kai Forbath sent one through the uprights from 43 yards out.

The Redskins answered right back as Helu ran one in from the six yards out to go up 30-3.

Jones played with torn foot ligaments

Alabama center Barrett Jones played the BCS championship game with torn ligaments in his left foot and needs surgery.

The two-time All-American and the leader of the Crimson Tide’s dominant offensive line was injured in the Southeastern Conference championship against Georgia.

He didn’t practice again until the day before Alabama left Tuscaloosa to come to south Florida. When the team arrived, he came off the plane wearing a protective boot on his injured foot.

Jones told reporters after the game his injury was similar to the one that put Houston Texas quarterback Matt Schaub out of several games last season.

Jones played most of the game and helped the Crimson Tide rush for 265 yard and 5.9 yards per carry.

The core architecture offers a flexible and high-speed solution to meet the challenges of high-end broadcast applications. The BA129 is able to sustain up to 180 frames per second of 1080i format, for compressed stream bitrates extending up to 400 megabit per second.

The BA129 core decodes streams that are compliant with the ISO/IEC 15444-1 specification (JPEG 2000) and supports single-tiled frames up to 1080p or larger.
The BA129 is the complement of the BA130 sub-frame latency JPEG 2000 encoder IP, to which it can be directly connected.

The IP core performs the complete video decompression operations of the normalized decoding process:
• Stream parsing and header decoding
• Entropy decoding
• Inverse quantization
• Inverse discrete wavelet transform (IDWT).

The BA129 takes a JPEG 2000 file and generates decoded samples at its output interface with up to 12 bits per color sample. An optional module can be used to generate the video output in real-time, without any buffering, to preserve the low latency performances.

The BA129 IP provides a single-FPGA solution for 720p30-180, 1080i30-180 and 1080p30-90 video modes, with a total pixel-to-pixel latency below 9ms for 1080i/p60, below 5ms for 1080i/p120 and below 3ms for 1080i/p180 when used together with the BA130 encoder.

The flexible FPGA architecture allows the user to build a secure decoder by integrating Barco Silex cryptography IP cores.

Importance of Informal group

Have you ever realised the importance of an informal team in building up your organisation?

Tags: Informal group, Importance of Informal group, Mr. KS Ahluwalia, Mr. KS Ahluwalia, personality

BY Entrepreneur  |  Jan 30, 2010 comments ( 0 ) |

It is not always the people who are positioned at the helm of affairs that play a pivotal role in establishing an organisation. But sometimes, there are some really confident and enthusiastic people in the team, who have a vision and passion to grow and in this process they, apart from their key responsibility areas (KRA) contribute a lot and in the process lift the overall standard of the work done in the company resulting in its growth. Such people form the informal group in an organisation and take active part in the issues concerning the company. It is formed either consciously or unconsciously but what it does is that it helps in uplifting the momentum of the whole company.

Mr. KS Ahluwalia, Executive Coach and Mentor, Excalibre adds, “A formal group works on the problem but an informal group works beyond it and lifts the company to a scalable height. For them the bigger objective of the company is the driver and not a particular task”. He further adds “An informal group can be related to an example of Readers Digest, a publication who has been able to grow in terms of reputation and the number of readers only because they have looked beyond just the revenue.”
