(Published in Divorce Magazine May/June 2006)
By Rick Johnson Rick Johnson & Associates of Colorado, Inc.

The first rule for anyone considering hiring an investigator to conduct surveillance before, during, or after a divorce is that surveillance is almost always potentially unproductive and sometimes a dangerous option – not dangerous in a physical sense, which is rarely the case, but dangerous in that it can complicate, rather than, simplify the process, especially where the risk of exposure is ignored.

The most obvious time when surveillance is requested obviously is at some point when one spouse suspects that the other spouse is having an affair. Quite often in my 30 years of experience, a spouse already has enough information to know what’s going on and really is just looking for independent validation. That’s a poor and expensive reason for surveillance. But there are valid pre-divorce reasons for surveillance.

We may be conducting surveillance in Denver for a spouse who lives in another state in the case of the other spouse who, in the guise of regular business trips, is having an affair in Colorado.

A no-fault law may apply, but the issue could be to identify the other party in order to determine whether marital assets have been diverted to that party and need to be accounted for.

There clearly are times, of course, when simple suspicion needs to be put to the test. There may be no clear cut evidence at hand. The possible wayward spouse may be strongly denying the affair. And the suspicious spouse may need validation in order to attempt a reconciliation, rather than to precipitate a divorce. In other circumstances, a couple may have reconciled a previous infidelity or other marital problem and now one or the other suspects that the problem has arisen again.

During and even after a divorce, where children and shared parenting time are at issue, surveillance can be necessary to determine whether one or the other of the parties is living up to the terms of the separation agreement, in one instance, and the divorce decree in the other.

A mother may suspect that the ex-husband is dropping off his children on visitation days with a third party and going off to work or to play golf, as usual, in violation of the decree. The ex-husband, or even the third party, may present a risk; for example, an ex-spouse or that person’s boyfriend or girlfriend may have a drinking problem, as evidenced by DUI convictions. Children in the custody of a potentially drunk driver is a critical concern. A father may have the same concerns.

In any case when surveillance is contemplated, there are serious considerations regarding privacy, propriety, and confidentiality. And there may be serious legal issues to consider.

No party to a divorce, after the process is completed, can request (and expect a responsible investigator to provide) surveillance of any kind on some non-specific desire by one party to “check up on” the other. The same goes for one party’s interest in the other party’s new mate. There can be precious little difference in such cases between surveillance and stalking.

No responsible investigator will agree to trespass or illegally record or eavesdrop upon someone in the guise of a marital dispute, or illegally pry into Email or other computer-related files.

With a legal basis for surveillance, there still are issues.

The surveillance must provide some reasonable basis for success. A specific starting point and a reasonable time frame are essential. Trying to pick up the subject of surveillance in a broadly public place with multiple access points and no specific range of hours when contact could be made is merely an expensive exercise. These would include locations with secure indoor parking, office structures, particularly those in a downtown area, and major sporting events.
In any case when surveillance is contemplated, there are serious considerations regarding privacy, propriety, and confidentiality. And there may be serious legal issues to consider.

Sometimes surveillance requires two or more investigators, sometimes even teams of investigators. A major hotel is one such place, but the most obvious place where teamwork and experience count for everything is Denver International Airport, where coverage can include the terminal, baggage pick-up, parking, car rentals, and access roads.

Even a good starting place and time is no guarantee of success; for example, a spouse leaving home in the early evening after dinner for a night out with the boys or the girls, with a probable destination in mind. That’s a common circumstance. But then expected traffic conditions and the subject’s driving style need to be accounted for. Contrary to the movies and television, investigators don’t go speeding willy-nilly through traffic, ignoring red lights and stop signs, endangering life and limb of themselves and bystanders. Even under ideal circumstances, traffic conditions can cause surveillance to be lost.

In another example, a strange vehicle sitting for long periods of time in a quiet residential neighborhood can draw the attention of nearby neighbors, who, more often than not, will call police to investigate the strange vehicle. Someone may even approach the vehicle to check it out personally. In such instances, surveillance may need to be rotated among vehicles and locations in the area, especially during daylight hours, but it even can be a problem at night.

None of this is to say that Surveillance never is an option. It is to say that it is an option reserved for specific and well-established circumstances where it is essential, justified legally and ethically, and likely to produce results.

Frequently, a valid request for surveillance also includes a request for video or photographic evidence. That may be the best evidence, certainly, but it isn’t always possible. Nighttime video or photos simply are out of the question. Any attempt will fail, not necessarily because video or photos can’t be obtained, but because any video or photos obtained won’t clearly identify the parties, vehicles, locations, any of the specific attributes that make video or photos truly useful.

Equipment is available that will permit video in many types of public locations; for example, a camera lens that looks like a watch or pager, with a small recorded secreted on the investigator’s person. A small lens and recorder can be hidden in what looks like a handbag, briefcase, or gym bag.

In any case, the use of video equipment and still cameras must be in places and under circumstances where the use is a normally expected activity, sufficiently disguised as to be unnoticed, and never under circumstances that constitute a violation of privacy.

Finally, it often is the case that requests for surveillance really turn out to be best served by a background or asset investigation, which certainly are less intrusive and probably more cost effective.

Surveillance may be an option, but it almost never is a first option.

Commuter trains have become a modern necessity for any vibrant, environmentally friendly, forward-looking city. So it is no surprise that Denver-area voters approved the FasTracks initiative in 2004 by a healthy margin or that polls consistently confirm a majority of citizens favor a rail system.

As we’ve explained in earlier installments of our “Future Denver” transportation series, wanting and having are very different things. Theoretically, public transportation based on rail can be a blessing. In practice, however, Denver’s Regional Transportation District has made a mess of the multibillion-dollar, tax-funded project, making promises it couldn’t keep and offering estimates that have been dramatically flawed.

Now, with the prospect of RTD coming back to taxpayers in the near future for billions more, it makes sense to re-imagine the proposition.

As our series on transportation has explored, the environmental benefits of FasTracks have been overstated. The amount of congestion it can relieve, at the rosiest estimate, would be only marginal. The fanciful assertions about job creation are up for debate. Per-mile ridership on Denver’s existing lines is already underperforming most cities in the United States.

Instead of determining what the most resourceful and workable way forward might be, RTD often seems more preoccupied with politics — most obviously, placating mayors from outlying cities who want to ensure their rail line is built.

If RTD did not have a penchant for being dramatically over budget and overly confident, perhaps everyone would be less skeptical. But now that we’ve seen how expensive it is to build lines for rail, voters should reconsider their commitment to the original vision.

In fact, as far-fetched as it might sound, we think RTD ought to return to the drawing board. Hit the reset button. Fully re-examine the realities of the metro area’s vast geography, its real-world travel patterns, our addiction to the automobile and the failure of fixed rail lines to significantly reduce congestion on our roadways.

Yes, rail lines are sleek and attractive. But besides being pricey to install, they are pricey to maintain, and other alternatives exist that would clear clogged roadways (and the air) at least as effectively, if not more so.

Like buses.

Buses are cheaper. Because fleets are replaced every 10 years, compared to 30 years for light-rail cars, cities benefit from upgrades in technology and fuel efficiency. Buses can be re-routed to fit changes in need, so if riders are attracted to a certain route, or if the population shifts to other areas, buses can more easily adapt.

Some people don’t like buses. They worry the rides are dirty or that they’ll be jammed in with strangers.

But remember “snob shuttles”? Buses can be outfitted with recliners, Wi-Fi and other perks in exchange for higher ticket prices that cater to the business class.

Image problem solved.

RTD ought to consider more dedicated high-speed lanes for buses, such as the provision in FasTracks for just such a route between Denver and Boulder.

One of the most glaring redundancies — and potential areas of saving — of the FasTracks plan is the dual bus lane and commuter train track up through the northern corridor to Boulder and the continuation of the rail line to Longmont.

Another question to ponder is the unintended consequences for those who do not ride light rail. For instance, when rail cars pass through intersections normally used by automobiles, traffic stops for the train.

Given the nearly 160 at-grade crossings proposed by the full build-out of FasTracks (and not including the existing lines), and the frequent train schedules, an opportunity exists for massive traffic snarls.

After a light-rail line opened in south Minneapolis, a federal transit review found that poorly planned traffic-signal systems subjected drivers to long and unnecessary waits. Some drivers reported commute times that doubled.

The federal study found that the problem could never be corrected, meaning the rail line’s congestion-relieving benefits were negated by the problems the grade crossings caused for drivers.

Imagine how Minnesotans felt reading this Minneapolis Star Tribune headline after spending billions to build the new rail: “Light rail always will slow the flow.”

So far, Denver’s at-grade crossings have been limited to downtown Denver and in the residential Five Points area. The trains seem to be co-existing with cars rather peacefully, but there already are concerns about RTD’s plans for commuter rail on larger streets, where traffic and trains move at greater speeds.

When RTD said it would scrap plans for a bridge over roadways and freight tracks at Peoria Street, Aurora officials were quick to raise concerns about traffic snarls. Besides the headaches of waiting for the light to change, there is the question of access to the Fitz- simons medical complex.

Axing the bridge and running the commuter rail at grade would save $60 million, RTD said, adding that the agency could “mitigate” delays.

The public should demand that RTD prove that the at-grade issue won’t be an issue. (Even though we can’t imagine that it won’t be.)

RTD should also question how best to power FasTracks’ four proposed commuter-rail lines.

Light-rail cars are powered by electricity, but commuter-rail engines can be powered by electricity or by diesel. Diesel-powered systems cost less, but make more noise.

Meanwhile, the frequent schedules planned for commuter trains present the same greenhouse-gas problem as RTD’s current light-rail lines.

Frequent trips over long distances tend to dramatically dilute ridership per mile. Less riders per mile means more carbon dioxide pumped into the atmosphere, as diesel is a fossil fuel, and Xcel Energy’s electrical grid is mostly powered by fossil fuels.

As we’ve shown in previous installments, most passenger cars already emit less CO2 per passenger mile than an equivalent use of RTD’s light rail. Because the cars are becoming more fuel-efficient so quickly, the divide will only continue to grow.

Unless Xcel gets much more of its energy from renewable sources, or RTD curtails its rail service outside of peak periods, light rail will be an environmental liability.

Another solution is to rely on buses instead, as buses can be more easily adapted to the waxing and waning demands of travelers, thus benefiting ridership per mile.

FasTracks seeks to add short sections from existing rail lines in Littleton to Highlands Ranch, and from Lincoln Avenue in Douglas County to Lone Tree.

A much larger new light-rail line is the I-225 corridor, which would add 10.5 miles of track through Aurora to connect the proposed Denver International Airport commuter line to the existing Southeast light-rail line.

Mayors in areas not yet served by light rail have a justifiable argument in questioning the Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree add-ons, since those sections of the metro area already have some existing lines.

But wouldn’t it seem odd to skimp on the I-225 plans if RTD goes through with plans to build the DIA train?

It would, unless RTD is persuaded to rethink the airport line. Yes, there is wide support and expectations for commuter rail to the airport, but we question whether those expectations are grounded in reality.

Cities that have already built rail lines to the airport have not experienced major benefits to speak of, according to Portland-based transportation expert Michael J.P. Cunneen. Metro areas with rail service have around 4 percent air traveler use rates — a statistic bolstered by a few cities with airports close to their city center.

It is difficult to believe that travelers from Highlands Ranch or Longmont — loaded with luggage — would in significant numbers undertake the long trek to Union Station just to switch trains and then take the even longer trek to the airport when major interstates are available to them.

None of these concerns mean that FasTracks is doomed. It means that the public should be more skeptical about being taxed twice for the same, sometimes implausible and misleading, promise.

It’s time for RTD to make some difficult real-world choices rather than continuing to offer a pie-in-the-sky future it can’t pay for.

As RTD is thinking about asking Denver-area residents for additional billions, it has a responsibility to re-visit some of the ingredients of its agenda and do what’s best for Denver — not just what it believes will sound good enough to win an election.

DePauw Debate Team Wins National Championship

March 20, 2012

LGL9769Two members of the DePauw University debate team -- sophomore Ronnie Kennedy and junior Jimmy Kirkpatrick -- won the national championship at the Pi Kappa Delta National Comprehensive Tournament, which took place this past weekend in Overland Park, Kansas. Pi Kappa Delta is the oldest forensics honorary society in the United States and more than 65 colleges and universities took part in the national championship tournament.

Kennedy and Kirkpatrick compiled a 5-1 record in preliminary rounds to advance to elimination rounds. They defeated Northern Illinois University in the quarterfinal round on a 3-0 decision, then bested Webster University in a 3-0 decision in the semifinals, setting up a final round showdown with Boise State University. The final round resolution was: "Eliminate the World Bank." DePauw governed on the resolution, and Boise State opposed. The DePauw debaters prevailed in the final round on a 2-1 decision to win the national title.

Kirkpatrick was among three DePauw debaters who took home individual honors, finishing 8th. Sophomores Sam Leist  and Shelby Beasley claimed 4th and 7th places, respectively, in the junior division.

Very intimate detail and the very rope of the habit is carved wonderfully. Having been a fransican this is very close to my heart. Very pleased the toscano and the delivery to Northern Ireland. Would recommend it if your keen to have St Francis in and around your garden space. Considering another order… April 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nice looking but lightweight The only thing that concerns me is that a storm will blow St Francis right over and that he night break. This has not happened and I hope it won't, but the material leads it to being lightweight. October 5, 2014

Mobile Pie partners with Spil Games

Mobile Pie partners with Spil Games

By Rob Crossley

Shopaholic games ported to App Store

Bristol indies Mobile Pie is porting a trio of Flash games to iOS as part of its partnership with online games giant Spil.

Browser game Shopaholic and two of its spin-offs – which last year accumulated “more than 100 million plays” – have launched on the App Store as a combined free-to-play title.

Mobile Pie, which secured its partnership with Spil at GDC this year, said the partnership has been “a joy”.

"Spil entrusted us with one of its most precious licenses and I firmly believe we treated it with the respect it deserves," said studio director Will Luton.

the-future-of-web-surfing-seo-trends-from-expert-insidersKeeping track in a constantly changing world of SEO is difficult. One moment you might be a master at one SEO strategy, the next moment that same technique will be obsolete. Experts and SEO practitioners are all predicting and practicing the new forms to best take advantage of new SEO methods.

New Mediums of Search

Terms such as technical SEO have been being thrown around lately. As the rise of AI has conjoined with search it’s important to know what content has been generated by machines.  New forms of search are being put out there. YouTube is the second largest search engine, and that means video is one of the main avenues of search now.

Savvy insiders are looking at these trends and noticing the different areas search is coming from now. It’s no longer a simple text search, but much more as well. Video was first mentioned; another avenue is voice to text search. There are multiple digital assistants such as Siri, Cortana, and Alexa.  People tend to speak differently into a search rather than type it.

For example if they were to type “local bars Chicago,” they might instead search with their voice by saying, “Where’s the closest Chicago bars?” Businesses and other associated website owners need to take this change in semantics into account. Google has picked up on direct questions as well. If you were to ask a straightforward question it might respond with a dictionary link, or even a how-to guide on something.

Experts’ Take

A few experts had a lot to say. One of the most important takeaways from all of them was content creation. They said this is an ever-lasting part of the trends that will never go away. Having stellar content is the number one way to go. Hiring quality writers and publishing regular blog posts, guides and videos are important.

Videos need to post on YouTube that generates the second largest amount of search – this point was made multiple times. Initial search on video is huge and some people would rather watch video than read.

Optimization is a word most are familiar with. The question is how to optimize. Keywords are still an important deal in SEO, but it’s about optimizing for user intent so they are not disappointed when they get to your website. User experience and usability of your content is key. Links are important for building up a network. Google checks out the linkage back and forth and won’t penalize a website for it.

Gaining an Edge

On top of running a business or taking care of a website, SEO can be another added duty that takes up a lot of time. But it is an important part of a website. That’s why certain companies make it their business to assist. Chicago SEO experts keep their sights on an overall goal. It’s not about just gaining traffic, but relevant traffic that is going to turn into something.

Their real time reporting shows keyword position, in addition to that with real time analytics to show all kinds of statistics. By gaining the data they also interpret it for the website as well. On top of hiring a specialist, something to take note of is page load times. These are becoming more important as mobile search continues to increase, page loading time will factor into a website.

Ahead of the Curve

In order to stay ahead of the game and on top of trends it’s good to know if people are Googling things related to your order of business. The best way to do this is through publishing content that makes you a top authority on a website. Google is taking that and applying the top people to the first pages of a search.

Interrelated app SEO is also becoming important. Between Google’s app streaming and exclusive content, these need to be factored into a multi-faceted SEO approach. This streaming content functionality helps users view content without having to download an app. This is another way to reach a larger audience.

Riding the Trends

Overall, to put the SEO trend in perspective is to look at first off creating amazing content that can reach a wide but targeted audience. Also looking out for new trends in the video sphere and applications is important to stay competitive. As new technologies come out, they shouldn’t be missed or you risk falling behind. Instead ride each ever changing trend to keep your SEO on top.

Pros: Good course to show the sport off to new players and it is accessible via both the green and red lines. Right in the middle of the IIT campus, I wish this had existed when I attended IIT. The tee signs are well designed. In addition, there is a full course map displayed near the first tee. There is also a box for scorecards to use, complete with a map of the course (see images for the scorecards).
Cons: There are no tee pads so to speak, just bare dirt. Many of the "tees" haven't even cleared surface-level tree roots to smooth out the tees. Without the map on the scorecard, I would have played hole 8 by accident instead, though that may have just been me (5's tee is the closest tee to 4's basket). Hole 6's tee is currently inaccessible. Being familiar with the IIT campus, I would have liked to have some holes on the other side of State St. and maybe even a hole or two over by the Stuart Building and soccer field (across 31st). Holes 5 and 9 cross each other which can lead to issues if the course gets busy. Being on a college campus, I would imagine that it is nearly unplayable during the regular school year because of pedestrians.
Other Thoughts: The course uses the land it is on quite well, but I think that it could have been designed a little better. It really needs better tee boxes, especially after the rain from the last two days.

Pros: This is a nice(ish) course that is in very short walking distance from both red-line and green-line CTA stops along with numerous buses. It is located in the heart of the IIT campus (though this is mostly a negative).

The course weaves through the central part of campus with most obstacles coming from trees, although the placement of tees also makes some statues viable obstacles
Cons: IN THE HEART OF CAMPUS forget playing this course during the school year. I had the blessing of being able to play over the summer when students were few and far between, and STILL I had to adapt my shots not to the course, but to avoid pedestrians. This took fun out of a course that was already just OK.

Navigating the course can be a challenge, but there are signs at every tee which is nice.
Other Thoughts: If you have a chance over the summer take a train down and visit. It's worth the fare to experience once. but avoid during the school year.

Pros: Free course with decent signs and baskets. Holes are of respectable length and challenge. Hole 5 at 446 feet allows a chance to air it out. Small trees are often difficult to drive through. Also has a number of obstacles made from campus buildings and other objects. A driver is handy and often necessary, particularly on windy days.
Cons: A flat course in an enclosed area. Parking is a fairly long walk from Hole 1 and is costly. Dirt tees are in poor shape. Signs are parallel rather than perpendicular to the fairway, which may have you looking in the wrong direction for the basket. Several holes overlap, and there are only nine of them to begin with. Small area has little opportunity for improvement. Students and windows are often within striking distance, inhibiting course play level.
Other Thoughts: Course winds through the campus of the Illinois Institute of Technology. Hole 1 is located near the corner of 33rd and State St.

Pros: It is one of the only courses around in Chicago. It's pretty fun playing between all the campus buildings and art sculptures. The sidewalks and roads add some challenge when you play them ob. The signage is good along with the baskets being decent innova discatchers. It does have a few holes with some real distance.
Cons: This course is mostly short and open. Be very wary of pedestrians. The tees are poor being just dirt.
Other Thoughts: A fun lil course in the middle of a big city. Good for beginners and the family to play. Make sure you park in a legal space to avoid tickets!

Pros: This little 9 hole is a technical shooter for sure. The tees and grounds are super well maintained. Great atmosphere for a course being in the city, giving it that uber urban feel (it is a campus course after all). I liked throwing out across statues and different obstacles beyond trees and bush.
Cons: Tight!! Man this course is squished together. If you have ever wanted to see a person get hit with a disc, this is the course its going to happen at. On some fairways, you are literally crossing huge walkways for students. You almost have to yell FORE for every throw thats not a putt.
Other Thoughts: For practice on your tight technical shots, this course rocks, but due to the traffic, there are times you just dont know if you will get to throw....

Pros: The course plays through a small college campus through and across small quad areas and between buildings and sculptures. There is lots of sidewalk and road ob waiting to punish an errant drive on several holes, and the buildings and sculptures make for some very different obstacles than you're used to on a course.

There are a couple really short ace run holes, and a few from 350'-450' where you can open up a little more and throw some drives as long as you can stay away from the windows. Several holes are straight ahead, but a couple force left to right or right to left shots, and most have some trees to keep it a little more interesting.

There is a nice course map at the first tee, and great tee signs throughout the course with distance and hole layout. The baskets are newer discatchers that catch great. Most tees have benches and trashcans, and there are some next tee signs to help with navigation. The campus is pretty and well taken care of, there was no trash or vandalism on the course and all the fairways were well mowed.
Cons: The biggest issue with this course is the safety issues. Even on a weekend, there were a lot of people around, none of whom seemed to know what we were doing. We spent quite a bit of time waiting for pedestrians to clear fairways so we could throw safely. On top of that, there are a lot of windows in danger from this course, and lots of picnic tables and benches on several of the fairways, frankly I'm amazed that's never been a problem here. There are also a few holes that play very close to roads and parking lots.

The tees are natural, and not well defined as to where you're actually supposed to throw from. They can be muddy and rutted after a rain, and several have roots sticking up through them making for less than stellar footing on drives.

The flow is a little odd, though the design does a great job with the odd spaces around campus. Make sure you take a look at the map before playing, the first 5 holes are scattered a little, with tees that aren't visible from the previous basket. The last 4 holes are all in the same area and play very close to one another, and hole 9 crosses back over 5s fairway. There is a long walk from 9 back to 1 if you want to play again, and the visitor parking lots ($2 an hour except for Sundays) are also a little bit of a walk from the course.
Other Thoughts: This is a very unique and fun course to play, but there isn't quite enough challenge or variety in the design for me to give it a better rating. There are a couple fun holes, the rest feel like filler holes squeezed wherever they could find space between the buildings. That said, I'll be back as this is the closest course to me and it's a totally different playing experience.

Beginners won't find the course to terribly challenging, with no rough and several shorter holes, though the safety issues are magnified with newer and less accurate players. More experienced throwers won't find the course too challenging other than length on a couple holes, but it's worth stopping by for the playing experience, especially the couple holes that play through the sculptures.

Pros: This is an amazing course in that it is in an urban area yet affords a real/legit disc golf experience! It is pretty and green and should work well to get college students knowing the fun that is DG. Major kudos to those involved in getting this course in the ground!

Unfortunately, I am not rating this against other urban campus courses. Rather, my review will rank this course against what I personally like and how it stacks up in my list of 9 hole courses:

1) Holes with good risk/reward. Fair, but harsh punishment for bad decisions or execution. == C-
(Other than hole #7, there really is no punishment that has a chance of adding an extra stroke to your score after screwing up.)

2) Holes that have rewarding birdie opportunities for me. I throw 300' accurately, 360' max. == C-
(The short holes were too short for me to be rewarding and the long ones were to long to expect to reach but short enough to make a score of 3 very routine/boring. The exception is 351' #7 (which also has good shape and OB lurking - the best hole by far!))

3) More wooded than open - lots of variety of shots required caused by hole shape and topography == C+
(There are decent amount of variety in shot shape, but nothing really unique. No terrain worth mentioning.)

4) Natural beauty (Appalachian beauty preferred) and seclusion. == C-
(While it is lush and green and clean for an urban area, .......it is an urban area.)

5) Bonus points for multi-throw holes with defined landing zones, good risk/reward and multiple options to play them. == N/A
Other Thoughts: It's all about feeding the addiction, so I ranked this course subjectively based on my own "personal addiction factor". The grades above tell how well the course will draw me back to itself again and again and again. Since I have played a decent number of courses (149 18-hole, 91 9-hole as of late 2009), my hope is that players/explorers who have similar addiction tastes will find my ratings list helpful as they choose courses to play and explore.

I fully expect others with different tastes/philosophies to disagree with me....that's the fun of things here. See my profile for my rating philosophy.

I am so happy!! On April 21, I entered the hospital with over 50 pulmonary embolius and new onset of diabetes. My sugar was 259 and they did an A1C that was 9.0.. As of yesterday, I am 44 pounds down. My sugar is 81 and my A1C is 6.0. Yeah.. So, I am going to continue what I am doing and do 40 carbs each day and 15 per snack.. The thing I am doing is making sure if I have equal carbs per day. So, if I eat 35 carbs for breakfast, then I do the same thing for lunch and dinner.

I want to thank everyone for all their advice.. You guys are so wonderful and it is great having such great people and support!! Can't wait to continue this journey and see what the next 3 months bring!! Mary

wow congrats!! what kinds of foods are you eating? I cant survive on that low low number of carbs, I need more, but I am trying to cut down for sure. I have got into a rut lately.

SeaBeagle 2014-08-29 21:49:31 -0500 Report

Hi guys.. Well, I started first what all you guys suggested. Eat and test my sugar and see what foods made it high or okay.. I grew up on meat and potatoes. (only American food) I never cared for dressing either. So,I love breakfast. Never have eaten breakfast until I got sick in April. I eat 2 pieces of toast (nature own, honey wheat, 19 carbs with cheese (sometimes) but turkey sausage which I love and watermelon and canteloupe. Then if I want pasta, I will eat it during the day. I will eat Dreamfield pasta. (no more than twice a week).. I will eat steak, hamburger (grass fed) pork, chicken,(I will eat a hamburger but no bun and a few french fries.. steak and potato with beans.. At dinner it is usually fish and potato.. I will eat peanuts for snack, sunflower seeds are great.. my favorite is breyer smart carb chocolate ice cream for my snack with a cone!!. I eat plenty of food (tabby) I now eat cherry tic tacs!! yummy.. As a snack.. chips ahoy..but I count the carbs. Sometimes my job doesn't allow me a break or lunch.. So, I will have a pocket of grapes and cookies..or peanut butter with a couple crackers.. but (not the best..) . just to level out the carbs I need. It works for me.. so, I am going to continue.. I eat what I want.. and wish I had started this years ago!!! I drink water and lemonade and orange crystal light with one diet pepsi a day.. Let me know if you have any questions.. and thanks for all your kindness. Remember this is what has worked for me.. thanks!! Mary

Wow, thanks for all of the info. Congratulations on the weight loss and the great numbers. I was finally getting my numbers where I wanted them but this week I had some real highs an real lows in the same day. I actually passed out a couple of nights ago. I was doing better when I ate breakfast too. Guess you have given me a lot to think about. Thank you. Another Mary

I eat Nature's Own bread too, others may taste better to me, but that one is one of the lowest carbs breads I can find in my area, plus it has no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors, etc. I eat Dreamfield pasta too, and also another one that works for me in Ronzoni Smart Taste, they have lots of fiber. I try to eat a variety of nuts, and sunflower seeds daily too.

Nothing ruins a picnic quicker than food poisoning; I'm pretty certain of that.

Summertime creates changes in the way we cook and eat. According to Boston.com, one in six Americans will fall ill each year from food-borne diseases. With picnics abounding, here are some tips to keep things safe.

1. Beware of germs. Handling raw meat and eating meat that is undercooked can make a person down right sick. Using clean utensils and washing hands after handling raw meat is vital. Purchase a food thermometer to determine when foods are ready to serve; the outside appearance of meat can be deceiving.

2. Take it easy on charred foods. Limiting the heat of your grill may be prudent. Charring and burnt foods have been under fire recently possibly increasing our risk of cancer.

3. Remember that hydration affects blood sugars. Keeping hydrated is not overrated in the summer — it's actually quite important, especially with diabetes. Summertime heat, humidity and sunshine work against us.

Dehydration can have profound effects on blood sugar. As fluid in the bloodstream decreases, the concentration of glucose rises resulting on glucometers.

If you are feeling thirsty, it's usually a good indicator that you are behind the eight ball in the hydration department. Plan ahead so you don't get caught without a water source.

Difference Between EGL and GIA

diamond-pdEGL vs. GIA

Diamonds are said to be a girls’ best friend. Well, they may indeed be, considering the value of giving such a gift to a girl. Yes, diamonds are very expensive. Yet, as a buyer of diamonds, you may have some questions in regards to the quality of the diamonds. How will you know if it is a good type, or a fairly graded gem? This is the area in which many grading companies and firms specialize. For instance, the EGL and the GIA; these entities give diamonds a whole new meaning.

Both the EGL and GIA are regarded as two of the biggest names in the diamond grading industry. Although these two laboratories grade diamonds in similar aspects of color, clarity and cut, their techniques for grading are still different from one another. So which one should we trust? To find out more about these two laboratories, continue to read.

In terms of history, the GIA, or Gemological Institute of America, was the first to be established. As one of the leading names for diamond branding, the GIA is composed of more than a thousand employees, ranging from scientists and lecturers to authentic diamond graders. As part of their services, they render laser inscriptions on the stones, grade the diamonds, and even conduct lectures to potential consumers of these valuable gems. They are respected for having conceptualized the four Cs of diamond grading, that includes color and clarity among them. Conversely, EGL stands for European Gemological Laboratory. It was founded in a much later year, around 1974. Like the GIA, they also have various specialists all over the world. They are most notable for popularizing the SI3 diamond rating.

In terms of carrying out the consistency of their services worldwide, many consumers and diamond experts agree that the GIA is the more non-biased firm as opposed to the other one. This is because, at least four random expert gemologists grade each diamond, at wherever the GIA office is located. The result is that they grade their diamonds in a much stricter sense. So, what is thought to be a grade G color by EGL, may only be a grade I (lower grade) for GIA. This scenario nevertheless, gives some advantages to the EGL firm. For example, their diamonds are relatively lower priced, even if the said stones are equally graded to their pricey diamond counterparts from the GIA.

1. The GIA is an American laboratory, whereas the EGL is a European borne institution.

2. The GIA is a much older firm compared to the EGL

3. The GIA popularized the four Cs of diamond grading, whereas the EGL sensationalized the SI3 method of rating diamonds.

4. EGL grading is said to be more lenient and generous compared to the stricter and more accurate GIA.

5. An EGL diamond will most likely be less expensive than a GIA graded stone bearing the same rating.

article imageWikiLeaks: Bradley Manning faces military court for first time

By Andrew John     Dec 16, 2011 in World
US Army analyst Bradley Manning – accused of leaking sensitive information to WikiLeaks – is today facing a court for the first time since his incarceration in May 2010.
The 23-year-old is facing 22 charges connected with possessing and distributing 720 secret military and diplomatic documents.
Today’s hearing will not decide Manning’s innocence or guilt, but whether he will stand trial.
Recently, Manning received support from as far away as Wales, where his mother lives in Haverfordwest in the extreme west of the country.
During Manning’s earlier confinement in Quantico in Virginia, before his transfer to Fort Leavenworth in Kansas last year, he is said to have been held in solitary for 23 hours a day and “often made to sleep without clothing or bedding.”
Early in December, two European Parliament members (MEPs) from Wales added their names to an open letter protesting about Manning’s treatment.
An open letter to the Obama administration signed by the MEPs and others said:
We call upon the United States government to allow Juan Méndez, the United Nations special rapporteur on torture, to conduct a private meeting with Bradley Manning, the accused WikiLeaks whistle-blower. Mr Méndez has made repeated requests to American officials to meet privately with Mr Manning in response to evidence that he was subjected to abusive confinement conditions while he was detained at a facility in Quantico, Virginia.
Mr Manning was held in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day during the eight months he was incarcerated at that location. It appears that he was at times forced to sleep and stand at attention without any clothing. His legal counsel has documented additional incidents which indicate the possibility of other rights violations.
Manning’s mother, Susan, expressed her own concerns in April (before her son was transferred).
The Haverfordwest-based Western Telegraph quoted her as saying: “I was very distressed by seeing Bradley. Being in prison, and being held in the conditions which he is, is having a damaging effect on him physically and mentally.
“I am worried that his condition is getting worse. I would like someone to visit him who can check on his conditions.”
Small and bespectacled
Today, Manning was “reported to be sitting in the courtroom dressed in military khaki and wearing black-rimmed glasses,” according to the BBC.
Mark Mardell, the BBC’s North America editor, is quoted as saying: “It is the first time since his arrest that Private Bradley Manning has been seen in public. He’s flanked on one side by his civilian lawyer, and on the other by two military lawyers. He is small, bespectacled, and sits quietly listening. He briskly answers a few routine questions about whether he understands his rights and is happy with his lawyer. ‘Yes, sir,’ he says.”
The hearing could last five days. During it, lawyers for both sides will make their initial cases and cross-examine witnesses.
“Defence lawyer David Coombs began proceedings by switching the focus onto investigating officer Lt. Col. Paul Almanza, who he described as ‘biased’,” says the BBC.
Public interest
Almanza has refused to accept all but two of 38 defence witnesses, which, says Coombs, means the defence cannot make an adequate case.
Another BBC correspondent, Paul Adams, says the defence is likely to make the case that any alleged leaks did not cause much harm, and their release was in the public interest.
Manning is also charged with “aiding the enemy.” While this could technically carry the death penalty, it’s thought that prosecutors will seek a prison sentence.
WikiLeaks has said in a statement:
“If it is the case that Bradley Manning is indeed the source of this and other WikiLeaks materials, Manning would have single-handedly changed hundreds of thousands of people’s lives for the better.
“This material has contributed to ending dictatorships in the Middle East, it has exposed torture and wrongdoing in all the corners of the world and it has held diplomatic bodies and politicians accountable for the words, deals and pacts held behind close doors.”

37 Kristiansund, Norway6 October 1999.

While night diving there is a lot of thing to think about. I did this night dive in Norway on a dive trip, and I learned a lot doing it.

We jumped into the water from the jetty at the irand we lived on and went down to the depth of 18 meters. The sight was around 10 meters when the torch was used, and it was 13 degrees in the water and 12 in the air.
I was reallt nervous during this dive, not used to night diving. We swimmed over some sea vegetalbes and stuff I never saw, it touched my leg and I exploded in fear!

I droppen the torch and screamed out in the regulator for my buddy to help me. I thought I lost my weight belt. But nothing happened, it was just some sea vegetalbles touching me... I became very stressed after this exerience, scared of everything I could not see, afraid that I would loose my belt.

We had people on the jetty making sure we got back in time after the dive. When we got up I was told that they almost called for the sea rescue, because they thought we had a real problem. I had been so nervous during the dive that my tourch was going everywhere. My buddy complain that I had dazzled him!

So I learned that I need so much more experience of night diving. It is really important to hold the torch down or where ever you are going, making sure to hold it steadily so that the people on the shore know you are safe. To go everywhere with the torch is a sign of problem, it is a scream for help! Keep the tourch steadily!!! Keep it from other divers faces, and relax. Have fun.

Bridging the dampcourse while raising the floor

Postby wetfoot » Wed Sep 05, 2007 5:11 pm

Help, I want to raise the floor of my house after a slight (two inch) flood. I would like to install insulation and perhaps underfloor heating at the same time - I have the headroom- but it would mean bridging the damp course . When the house flooded water came in through the dampcourse and when that happened to a neighbours house it went under the insulation and he had to rip up the whole floor to remove it - very expensive.
Any way of sealing the DPC to prevent ANY water entering the house.. and what do I do about door sills?? Thanks.

Hi, What is the minimum radius that this trim will bend to? Will it work for something as small as a 5" diamter circle or for a rectangle with rounded corners?
This item could conform to the 5" diameter you are inquiring of but would most likely need additional sealant in order to keep form.

Child abduction team to conduct exercise in F-M area

WEST FARGO - If you see authorities searching for a missing child Wednesday morning in the Fargo-Moorhead area, relax: It's only a test.

Law enforcement agencies working toward certification of North Dakota's first Child Abduction Response Team (CART) will hold a mock abduction exercise on Wednesday.

The agencies have been cooperating for more than three years to establish a CART as an extension of the Amber Alert system. They're in the process of gaining certification through the U.S. Justice Department, said Detective Sgt. Greg Warren of the West Fargo Police Department, which has spearheaded the effort.

Warren said the goal is to develop a faster response with more resources to "flood the area" when a child abduction situation arises.

Another goal is to share the workload during prolonged abduction cases such as the one that involved University of North Dakota student Dru Sjodin, he said.

The 32-member team has representatives from the Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo police departments, Cass and Clay sheriff's offices, U.S. Marshals Service, North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation, state and federal probation offices, Rape and Abuse Crisis Center and Red River Children's Advocacy Center.

The team is unique among the nation's 16 CARTs because it's the only one with jurisdictions in two states, Warren said.

"Everybody just works really well together here," he said.

The team has never been deployed, but there have been a couple of close calls, Warren said.

"If we do not meet the criteria to put out an Amber Alert, that does not mean that we can't call out our CART team to help assist, whether it's a kidnapping, abduction, or whatever it may be, if circumstances show that we need assistance," he said, adding that the agencies have a memorandum of understanding that spells out when the team should be used.

Wednesday's exercise will involve a mock abduction and CART callout. Instructors from Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton, Wis., which provides the training program for the Justice Department, will monitor the team's performance.

The exercise also will include a test of the CodeRED notification system, so some members of the public may receive a CodeRED message on their phone, Warren said.

There’s a saying that “life isn’t fair.” Okay, in a Darwinian sense, that’s very true. It’s true because of chance and circumstance. However, humans try very hard to make things fairer…for themselves…and vehemently object to being treated unfairly by others. This objection to unfairness brought those. such as the Calvinites, who were persecuted for their beliefs in Europe and Britain to the “New World” in search of religious freedom for themselves…and went on to institute the very same, and, in some cases, more violent, persecutions against others who did not embrace their religious doctrine. Wanting fairness for themselves, they were willing to deny fairness to others. Don’t you find that hypocritical? I do (though, I don’t find it surprising.)

In Israel, the Jews, victims of genocidal persecution, in turn now persecute the Palestinians, including invidious methods of genocide– denying water, livelihood, and shelter. The Jews wanted fairness, but refuse to, themselves, be fair.

In the U.S. today, I see a great deal of this kind of hypocrisy embraced–the “I’ve got mine, and I’ll deny you yours” mentality. I find this level of unfairness based in intolerance unacceptable, yet the socio-political direction most evident through the media, in the workplace, and in interaction between people online and off demonstrates to me that we, having been purposely factionalized by power brokers playing us for pawns for their own agenda, are evermore embracing unfairness, intolerance, and injustice. I think we really need to pull ourselves up and take a keen look at who we are becoming.

Sherrill a Dodger

It appears that the Dodgers have shored up their relief staff with the addition of Orioles left handed closer George Sherrill. Of course, this is still pending official confirmation.'s Ken Gurnick reports that the Dodgers acquired George Sherrill for Josh Bell and righty Steve Johnson.
This is a great pick-up. He should add some depth and solidify an already good bullpen- they just need a little help to get us over the hump.

Dog Eat Dog biography

Dog Eat Dog may be a household name to people nowadays, an overnight sensation to others, but there's a lot more to the story than that, so here goes...

Jump straight to: 1987-1993 | 1994-1995 | 1996-1997 | 1998-2003 | 2004-2017
John Connor | Dave Neabore | Sean Kilkenny | Brandon Finley

1987-1989 The Muckypup days
Dave Neabore and Sean Kilkenny met through the New Jersey music scene way back in 1987-88. Dave had joined a popular NJ band called Mucky Pup, and Sean had been a friend of the band as well, jamming with the members on the side playing cover songs.

Dave Neabore
Dave Neabore
In the summer of 1989, Dan Nastasi quit Mucky Pup, leaving them without a guitar player for their upcoming European tour. Since Sean was always jamming with the band anyway, he seemed the obvious choice to replace Danny. So Dave and Sean began playing together that summer, and had become instant friends and drinking partners. When they returned home from that tour, it was time to write material for a new MP record. Dave and Sean started to write songs that were a bit heavier, with a different groove to what Mucky Pup had done previously. Mucky Pup wasn't sure they wanted to go in that direction, but Dave and Sean were. So after a long discussion, it was decided that the two.

1990-1993 Forming Dog Eat Dog
So Dave and Sean, ideas in hand, locked themselves in Dave's basement and continued to write about what was on their minds... BEER! The two banged out a ton John Connor
John Connor
of riffs over the next few weeks, and decided it was time for this "creation" to have a voice. There wasn't a second thought that the only person to fill that slot would be Sean's high school friend, and former Mucky Pup crew member, John Connor. John was a singer in many local bands, and had a reputation for being a madman when you put a microphone in his hands. He was just that...
So the trio put their heads (and beer mugs) together and quickly wrote songs like "Funnel King", "Strip Song", and "Psychorama". These became instant party classics and can still be heard at DED shows even today.

The next thing they needed was a drummer. So after searching their phone books, and asking friends, they found a drummer named Brett. Brett was able to bring to life the songs the trio had only played acoustically for weeks. So after a few quick rehearsals, they decided to see what their friends thought of the music they had created.

The first concert

So they had the first "official" show right there in Dave's basement!!! And if cramming 50 people into Dave's tiny basement wasn't enough, everyone was required to wear a "toga" to make it more interesting. They even asked their good friend Kevin Reilly to bring his saxophone along to liven up the "Strip Song". After two kegs of BEER, and countless bottles of liquor later, they hit the stage (the floor to be exact!), and the band was born...
People liked what they heard and they decided to play "real" shows, instead of basements. So after playing birthday parties, ice cream parlors, and college Fraternity bashes, they started to make a name for themselves. But that was the one thing the band DIDN'T have... A NAME!!!

Billing themselves as "F-Troop", "B-Load", "Rubber Band" ... they just played and had fun. That was to be the most crucial part of Dog Eat Dog's commitment to music... FUN.
After hearing about the buzz, and some rough live tapes, Dan Nastasi expressed interest in the band, wanting to see what it was all about. They invited Dan to come to the basement with his equipment and jam along for fun. After jamming for hours with Danny, the band seemed even more powerful and Dan was asked to join full time. So Dan again left Mucky Pup and joined "The Band" permanently.

In the studio back in 1992

Dog Eat Dog and Sooty

Thus begins the "Spinal Tap" drummer syndrome... Brett decided he wanted to move to San Francisco, California and did just that. He was never seen or heard from again. John "Booge" Milnes of Mucky Pup filled his place until a permanent replacement was found.
The band also knew it was time to name this thing they had created. Many names were thrown around and some stuck for a day or so, and some never lasted one rehearsal. But when the name Dog Eat Dog was thrown into the mix, well, everyone loved it.
From there, DED decided to take the songs they had written and put them on tape for real. They went into the studio for 2 days and recorded the first 5 song demo. Sean Kilkenny
Sean Kilkenny
Sean had contacts with a pro skateboarder named Andy Howell, also known for his artwork on NEW DEAL skateboards. Andy drew up a bunch of dogs and logos, the most famous being the "doghouse". The demo was done.
They continued to play bigger and bigger shows, selling more and more demos. Very excited about the growing popularity, they wrote and recorded another 5 song demo and kept playing, playing, playing. At this point DED had a drummer named Mark Marri behind the kit. The second demo was received with more approval than the first, and they were happy.

It was at this time when their friend Billy Graziadei from BIOHAZARD gave a DED tape to an A&R man at Roadrunner records in Europe. The tape was then sent back to the New York office. So R.R. people came to a few packed shows, and soon signed DED to their label. Unfortunately, Mark had to make the painful decision to leave the band to be with his wife and baby. The band wished him the best and began looking for yet ANOTHER drummer...

Dave's childhood friend and neighbor, Greg Merkle, was set to try out for the band. But on the day before his audition, he decided to back out, persuing his own musical interests. He did however, provide the band with the name of his friend who also played drums. That friend was Dave "Mopey" Maltby.
Mopey auditioned and fit in well with the members, so he was officially in the drum stool.

The band also started looking for a more serious saxophone player, and found that in Scott "Sooty" Mueller. Soon followed the Warrant EP, and DED was released worldwide...
