Meet Daniel R. – What It Took to Achieve My Dreams
From an E3 Specialist in the Army, to a lying specialist who lost all ambition, and now a leader in the community
Daniel R. was 19-years-old when he enlisted in the Army: "I joined the service, because I wanted to serve my country, have a stable job, and eventually turn my experience into a career in law enforcement."
As with most addicts, it didn't go as planned. He began drinking once he turned 21, and by the time he was 22, he was drinking heavily. "I wanted to get away from the work itself. I would go home, relax, and enjoy my time as much as possible, which meant go and drink. Since the military is a very structured environment, as long as I showed up and did what I needed to do, I was fine."
"Since the military is a very structured environment, as long as I showed up and did what I needed to do, I was fine."
Daniel was a member of the U.S. Army Military Police Corp., first stationed at March Air Force Base in Riverside, and then deployed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he served as a guard in the detainment camps and received an Army Achievement Medal upon completion of his tour of duty. He was exercising frequently, so he didn't know he had a problem until after he was honorably discharged at the age of 24.
Failed Plans
Once his physical activity went down, the drinking caught up with him. "The plan was to become a police officer when I got out, and I got the ball rolling, but the disease kicked in and I lost all ambition. Drinking was the priority. I was not mature, and I was egotistical – I had never really grown up and I was too prideful to ask for help. I also didn't know how to ask for help, nor did I want to."
After a year of living on his own, lying and manipulating people to support his drinking habit, he ended up moving back in with his mom, and she gave him an ultimatum: treatment or he couldn't live there anymore. Without medical benefits, the only place they could find and afford was in Mexico. Daniel originally promised to stay for three months, but after six weeks, he conned his way home, and it didn't take long for him to start drinking again.
"I had never really grown up and I was too prideful to ask for help. I also didn't know how to ask for help, nor did I want to."
After two months at a friend's house, he spent a week living in a hotel. When his money ran out, he spent a day-and-a-half living on the streets, and that's when wrote a suicide message to his military friends on the east coast. He didn't want people to come look for him, but that plan failed. Daniel was found sleeping in his totaled car parked in his mom's driveway, taken to the hospital and put on a 5150 hold. Then, after three days in a psychiatric clinic, he went to the VA in Long Beach.
It was a Friday and Daniel agreed on a 90-day program at the Veterans Village Recovery Center. He was supposed to check in the following Monday, so he decided to have one last hurrah and ended up blowing off his appointment. After squatting at his mom's house while she was out of town, he began his three-week homeless stint after she unexpectedly came home early.
"The priority was to get alcohol by any means necessary. I drained my resources, broke into my mom's yard to collect cans, and sold my belongings. I used meet-up sites like OfferUp, which we also use at the Thrift Shop." Daniel would spend his days at different Starbucks cafes around the area, and either sneak back into his totaled car at night or sleep at a nearby park.
Once he was tapped out, Daniel contemplated the last two things he had to sell: a nice pair of Ray-Bans and a Fossil watch – both had sentimental value. On his way to sell them, physically and mentally exhausted, he stopped and thought about what he was doing. "Something turned me around. I ended up going back to my mom's house and waiting for her there. That's when she took me to the VA hospital again."
After detoxing for four days, he went back to the same counselors he saw three weeks earlier: Marta, Renee and Mario, who is a graduate of Beacon House. "This time, they weren't as sympathetic to my case, because I had blown them off. I went in begging for the same thing. They looked me dead in the eye and told me I needed real help. They told me I needed to go to Beacon House."
"They looked me dead in the eye and told me I needed real help. They told me I needed to go to Beacon House."
Daniel didn't want to go to long-term treatment. He told them he'd sleep on it and had a plan to get out of it when he returned the next day. He asked his mom to stay in the waiting room when he met with Marta, Renee and Mario again. They knew what he was up to, however, and they brought his mom in to the meeting. Daniel knew then that his plan was foiled. "They cut to the chase. I paused and didn't want to say yes, but finally I had that clarity. I needed to stop making the same mistakes. I needed to listen to other people. So I told them I would do it."
After the initial phone assessment with the Beacon House team, Daniel was told to show up the next day. He didn't expect it to happen so fast. "I planned to do the same thing – one last hurrah – but God stepped in. He didn't give me any leeway. He expected me to step up and do it… what a blessing that turned out to be though. I've been given a second chance at life."
Hope For the Future
Daniel in the Thrift Shop, wearing the Ray-Bans he nearly sold to support his drinking
Over the last two plus years, Daniel has moved through the Primary Program, served in leadership roles, enrolled at Harbor College to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice, and worked in both the Catering Program and at the Thrift Shop, where he serves as a manager and motivates others to do their best. He has also learned from his past mistakes, including how he can make changes for the better.
"I was not mature while in the Army. Now, years later with plenty of experiences in between, it has prepared me to take life on life's terms and not to run from the adversity I face. All this combined with the recovery I practice in every environment I enter is preparing me for my future career and relationships. Being able to handle pressure without folding, overcoming adversity, understanding how I can always improve, and ultimately looking to help all those around me. Once I leave the Beacon House and become an independent alumni, I'm confident I can take everything I've learned and thrive."
While his classes are teaching him about the structure of the criminal justice system and the ethics involved, he said seeing the system's overall imperfection and how they're taking ownership of what they can do better is something that attracts him to it. "I feel I have learned a lot about responsibility over the last two years. I can be somebody who goes out there, does his best and looks out for others. I want to be a leader out in the community and be helpful."
"I feel I have learned a lot about responsibility over the last two years. I can be somebody who goes out there, does his best and looks out for others."
As he looks to pursue his original dream of becoming a police officer, taking what he's learned and applying it to his goals, he wants to take that new-found ambition and drive back to the community where he grew up and serve as a leader.
"I love my story, because this is what it took for me to achieve my dreams. Thankfully, it's not over yet, and I'm filled with hope for the future."

Inside Google's Pixel 4 Smartphone
After the somewhat disappointing debut of the new iPhone 11 series, those hoping for something new and exciting can turn their attention to Google's much-anticipated Pixel 4 and 4XL smartphones. Unveiled on October 15th and released on October 24th, the Pixel 4 puts the capabilities of the Android operating system on full display and offers some cool new photography features.
There are some clear improvements in this incremental upgrade on the Pixel 3 — and also some less than impressive aspects. Like the new iPhone, the Pixel 4 presents nothing particularly groundbreaking over its predecessor. However, it's still a pretty cool phone.
Let's start with looks: the new design is pleasingly streamlined, with an aluminum frame finished with a rubberized black coating around the edges so it's easier to grip. With a 5.7-inch display, it's on the smaller side of new smartphones, sittingcomfortably within the palm of your hand. Its rear panel is made of glass in either matte Oh So Orange, matte Clearly White, or glossy Just Black.
One of the Pixel 4's most noteworthy features is its radar-powered face unlock process, which senses your approach and grants you access in no time flat using biometric sensors. Some people will love the way it automatically kicks in, while others will likely miss the fingerprint sensor for security reasons. A few outlets have reported that the Pixel's face unlock feature also works when you're asleep, putting you at risk of privacy invasion. Google plans to update the phone to require eye detection, though it could slow down the auto-unlock feature.
The Pixel 4's camera remains its strongest selling point, especially for casual consumers who aren't Android loyalists. It features a 16-megapixel 2X telephoto lens alongside its standard 12-megapixel main sensor lens, and the front selfie camera has a 90-degree field of view. It also still has its best in class "night mode," which gives you surprisingly sharp and bright photographs of dimly lit scenes.
A few other new features include "Ambient EQ," a technology that adjusts the color temperature of the screen to match the room, "Motio Sense," which automatically drops the volume of rings and alarms when you reach for the phone or dismisses calls at the wave of your had, and a 90Hz OLED Smooth Display for sharp-looking text, graphics, and animations. The "Neutral Core" feature that powers the phone's cameras can also detect car crashes via the Safety app and automatically call 911.
Unfortunately, some of these cool new features seem to have come at the expense of battery power. For the Pixel 4, Google shrank battery capacity to 2,800 mAh, which, with all those power-hungry features, might make users a little nervous about keeping their devices charged.
Like Apple, Google removed the headphone jack from its new designs a while ago, but then re-introduced it in the Pixel 3 — much to the delight of many people who want to be able to use headphones and charge their phones at the same time. On the Pixel 4, they've taken it away again. You won't find any adapters or USB-C earbuds in the box, but the company will offer a $100 Google Store credit to buyers so you can choose your own.
The Pixel 4 XL expands upon the phone in a variety of ways, including a 6.3-inch OLED display, additional pixel density, and a 3,700 mAh battery. The Pixel 4 retails at $799 (64GB) and $899 (128GB), while the 4 XL will cost $899 (64GB) and $999 (128GB). It's available now at the Google Store and through cell service providers.

On my Laurentian snow report post I lamented how it never snows in March anymore ! Man , was I wrong as the kids tell me when a major storm on Tuesday dumped almost 2 feet of dry snow . Working in Montreal all week was concerned the snow would transform or develop a crust before getting to it . Took a vacation day to hit some local side country with my middle daughter who didn't have any classes . Turned out nothing to worry about as almost 2 feet of dry snow on top of a very deep frozen sold base so no concerns on hitting any stumps/rocks . Amazing run after run in deep snow close to home without spending a ton of money on lift tickets . Don't mind skiing 500' vertical when you have snow like this and no competition . Like having a hill in your backyard.
Some pics of making First Tracks this morning .
Skiing down a Hiking Trail .
I had a similar experience today. A certain Laurentian hill didn't open this year, so my friends and I decided to earn some turns there. After 2 laps on snowshoes we realized there was a road leading to the top, so we did our own version of cat skiing, where our car was the cat and we rotated drivers each run. Boot deep all day.
Know the place my old home mountain , will see how long it lasts as a hike and ski place . Still hoping beyond hope that they open next year . The village of Val David banned parking at the base of Plante this year cutting off the easy access to another popular hike and ski place.

- Prev Article Wagner Theatre alum lands role in 'Jersey Boys' film - Next Article
The Wagner College Theatre program was thrilled to learn that one of its recent graduates, RENEE MARINO '04, will play Mary Delgado in the upcoming Hollywood screen adaptation of Broadway's "Jersey Boys," which is to be directed by Clint Eastwood. Shooting is slated to begin this summer in Los Angeles, according to Broadway World, which broke the story last week.
Marino, whose hometown is Linden, N.J., currently plays the role of Mary Delgado, Frankie Valli's first wife, in the Broadway production of "Jersey Boys." Her other Broadway credits, to date, include "Wonderland" and "Chaplin."
"Jersey Boys" is the story of how a group of blue-collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time: Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. They wrote their own songs, invented their own sounds and sold 175 million records worldwide — all before they were 30.
"Jersey Boys" is the winner of the 2006 Best Musical Tony Award, the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album, and the 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Musical. It is directed on Broadway by two-time Tony Award winner Des McAnuff and was written by Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.
More kudos for Wagner College Theatre alumni:
MATT BAN '09 (Hometown: West Milford, N.J.) will have his Broadway debut performing the role of Dennis in "Rock of Ages" for 11 performances starting Oct. 31 — "and I couldn't have done it without you and everyone else at Wagner!" he told WCT's Felicia Ruff. (Watch an interview with Matt about "Rock of Ages" on YouTube.)
ALEX BONIELLO '13 (Hometown: Wood-Ridge, N.J.) is in the national tour of "American Idiot" (ensemble and understudy for Johnny and St. Jimmy).
ROBBY HALTIWANGER '13 (Hometown: Setauket, N.Y.) plays Chris Bruner in the national tour production of "Ghost: The Musical."

Are Pimples Getting You Down?
Q: I'm in my early 20s and get heaps of pimples on my back. I don't want to take antibiotics – is there something natural that can help?
A: Herbs such as chaste tree, berberis and clivers (also known as cleavers) are excellent for treating acne. I may suggest tablets that contain these herbs, or a blended liquid herbal medicine. A liquid herbal mixture can also be made to apply topically to improve healing, and it's also important that you get enough vitamin C and zinc, which are crucial for skin health. There are many factors that affect skin health and these are..


OH BOY WHAT FUN I HAD THIS WEEKEND where I was like, "Hey, what should I do first? Should I vomit profusely, or should I defecate uncontrollably? Ha ha, I'm greedy, why not both at the same time." Some sort of stomach bug food poisoning thing hit our house — me and my son, my wife thankfully escaping the madness, at least directly — and left us all gutted husks of ourselves sitting around, trying not to move, and mainlining every comfort food episode of We Bare Bears that television could offer.
It was decidedly not awesome.
It also explains why I was not in Seattle at ALA Midwinter this week, and apologies for that — I have nothing but great love for libraries and librarians, Ye Mighty Public Service Bibliomancers, and I was legit bummed not to get to hang with some proper librarians to pitch Wanderers. But also be glad I wasn't there to spread whatever it was I had! THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.
I'm back now, err, at least operating at around 60%, so here we are, with the Monday news.
Black birds, circling. That's right, the sixth and final Miriam Black book, Vultures, has landed. With it have come some very nice reviews!
"Sweet Bee Vomit!" is the exclamation all the cool kids are using. The second Miriam novella isn't actually a Miriam novella, but rather, is about the character Wren from the series — in particular, it's about her going up against some psychic-powered slasher-killers in the Midwest, and it takes place between TR&TW and Vultures. Subterranean Press has a limited print edition, and I'm told it's close to sold out — so check it out, willya?
Who run Blurbertown? I noted that I am sitting on a very fortunate pile of kind words regarding Wanderers, and though we haven't formally begun to share most of those, I'll note that one sentence from Rin Chupeco stood out, and I'm really quite in love with this. Of the book, she said: "If you ever wanted to know what America's soul might look like, here's is its biography." And I thought, oh no, and I also thought, oh yes, and I'm really excited by that. My favorite of her work is The Girl From The Well, so get on that if you haven't read it.
Chuck Wendig, Apple Reviewer. Apparently my review of grocery store apples has made some newsy rounds, so… y… yay? Yay. Maybe I'll need to find something else to review. Like more apples. Different apples. Or bees. I could fancy myself a professional bee reviewer. You don't know.
The Ragnarok of Ragnatalk. It's true. It's over! It's finally, finally done. Anthony and I did it — we completed the circuit and finished our prestige-format 10-minute-increment review of the movie Thor: Ragnarok which effectively ends our podcast. Except, will we truly be gone? Or will there be… something else to rise in its ashes? You must listen to learn.
And sweet bee vomit, I think that's it.
Here, have a picture of a well-read apple.
That's an amazing review. I'm looking forward to reading it!

Last week I published a project management alphabet, and I admit it, I had a hard time coming up with terms for some of the less common letters. I ended up using Zombie Project Management for the letter Z.
One of my favourite sayings is 'no plan survives contact with the enemy.' Zombie Project Managers follow the plan, regardless of the changing environment.
Project management isn't rocket science, and it shouldn't be hard to get right. But you do need to apply an element of intelligence and critical thinking to what you do. Projects need to be shepherded along, sponsors don't always know best, and sometimes you have to suggest that your project is stopped. Zombie Project Managers can't do this. They operate in a completely text book fashion, without applying any logic, context or thought to how to do things in the most effective way. One of my favourite sayings that we overuse at my company is 'no plan survives contact with the enemy.' Zombie Project Managers follow the plan, regardless of the changing environment around them.
Fortunately, most of the people I've worked with over the years have been switched on and very un-Zombie. I haven't come across many Zombie Project Managers, but I know they are out there (cue spooky music). I hope you don't have any in your organisation, either.
What are the other traits of Zombie Project Managers that you have come across?
Like this image? It's from BenBlogged.com.
On the topic here is a link to Tom Demarco's book Adrenalise Junkies and Template Zombies.
I'll have a look at that, thanks Craig.
I have recomended that this term be added the the refresh of the APM Body of knowlege. http://www.apm5dimensions.com/blog/divided-common-language. I am sure Liz will strike out my membership of the APM. See you at the conference.
Let's see if we can get it in the dictionary!
Marilyn, Krystal, thanks for your comments. I hope that you find ways to deal with your zombies!
I totally love this post! As a matter of fact, we do have members who are just like zombies and it's not helping at all!
Elizabeth, this awesome blog post has inspired me!
Yes, I see these PM zombies every day. These zombies contribute to what is defined as the Iron Law of Bureaucracy. It states, in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself. One example in project management, would be PMs who work hard and look for ways to deliver value to the customer, versus PMs who work to protect any defined process (including those with no value). The Iron Law states that in ALL cases, the second type of person will always gain control of the organization, and will always write the rules under which the organization functions.
These zombies don't eat brains, they eat time and resources in the name of project management! So, sooner or later, zombies will take over your project. Be afraid. Be very afraid!
Per your inspiration, I'm writing a blog post for Zombie Management Strategy. Who knows, maybe I'll write a whole series on the zombies.
Excellent! Looking forward to reading about how to manage the zombies!
I haven't had Zombie PM contact (phew!) but I have had many PMs that didn't being the team inboard with changes. We had the initial mpp and one or two from early in the project. PMs can zombie on specific duties only, to use your example.
That's a great point, Diwat, thanks. You don't have to be a zombie across the board – there's a risk that people are zombie-like on just one or two tasks or responsibilities. I hadn't thought of that!
Elizabeth, I really like your blog post and term zombie PM. I have run into many zombie PM's especially in large very process oriented environments. Not that I oppose process but at times I have seen too much process remove the creativity and confidence that a PM needs to have. I also think lack of experience playing into this mind set as well.
Monique, I agree. I think the zombie approach sets in when people are too hung up on doing things 'by the book'. Rigid application of PRINCE2 for example. I imagine that some people try to compensate for lack of experience by relying heavily on process and forgetting that actually we're paid to do a job, not follow a set of rules.

We need your time and talents!
St. Augustine School Advisory Council
The School Advisory Council offers advice to the pastor and principal on all matters pertaining to the school. Members of the Advisory Counsil represent students, parents, and members of St. Augustine Parish. They are appointed to serve a three-year term; two members are appointed yearly.
Meetings are held monthly during the school year and additional meetings may be called by the pastor, principal, or president of the council as needed.
The Advisory Council is advisory; it does not work according to the elected representation of a public school district board of education. The central concern of the Advisory Council is the Catholic education of our children.
The Finance Committee is composed of elected members who are responsible for assuring that the temporal affairs and goods of the parish are properly cared for. They assist the Pastor in reviewing the parish budget and in offering guidance pertaining to the financial concerns of the parish.
Funeral Dinner Committee
The Funeral Dinner Committee has been active in the parish for over 25 years. The committee coordinates, prepares and services a funeral dinner for the families and friends of the deceased following the funeral service. This allows the family and friends of the deceased to share a time of reflection after the funeral service. The funeral dinner menu usually consists of ham, potatoes, gravy, salad, green beans, deviled eggs, rolls, bread, coffee, tea, milk and lemonade. Parish members are called to assist in preparing/providing a dessert item.
The council members, who are elected in the spring, work in conjunction with the pastor, parish staff, commissions, and committees to provide leadership to the parish. The Pastoral Council sets and directs the ongoing vision of the parish and coordinates its inception.
The three main tasks of the Pastoral Council are:
Develop as a faith community
Engage in planning for the future of the parish and
Provide evaluation and oversight for parish ministries and activities.
The Stewardship Committee's mission is to teach and nourish the concept of the Catholic stewardship as a way of life for all of our parish community. The goal of the committee is to develop a vision for our parish where stewardship is a way of life, encompassing family, work, parish and community outreach.
The Cemetery Board is responsible for the maintenance of the parish cemetery and for assisting families in choosing cemetary plots when requested.
