Trucking firm settles suit over pre-employment screenings
Greeley, Colorado-based JBS Carriers Inc., which is the transportation affiliate of multinational meat processor JBS USA Holdings Inc., contracted with a third-party administrator, Denver-based ErgoMed Systems, to administer pre-employment screenings. The EEOC found that all applicants were subjected to a medical history questionnaire, a physical examination and nine physical abilities tests, and if an applicant failed any one of the tests, ErgoMed sent a negative job recommendation to JBS, which withdrew conditional job offers based on its recommendations.
The EEOC alleged this process unlawfully screened out people with disabilities and reached a $250,000 settlement with JBS. Under terms of the settlement, JBS will not contract with ErgoMed for three years and not implement any physical or medical screening for conditional hires apart from the DOT medical certification and urine analysis, among other provisions.
Perceived disability sufficient to reinstate suit
In Jonathan C. Baum v. Metro Restoration Services, an employee who worked as a scheduler for Louisville, Kentucky-based Metro Restoration Services Inc., began having heart problems and occasionally missed work for medical concerns. After a severe weather hit in 2015, he worked remotely to coordinate crews. He was fired a week later and the company's owner told him it was because of his health issues and doctors' appointments.
He filed suit, charging he was fired both because he was disabled and because the company regarded him as disabled. A lower court dismissed the case because he did not present an expert witness, but an appellate court found a jury could find that Metro fired him because the owner thought he was disabled, and reinstated the case.
Widow loses civil suit based on "power press" exception to exclusive remedy – California
In Ochoa v. Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc., a widow of a man who died when another worker accidentally started the machine he was maintaining filed a wrongful death suit, arguing the machine was a power press that, under certain conditions, can be exempt from exclusive remedy. The court agreed with the defendants that the machine in question was a conveyor-style "auger" and not a press that used a die. A product liability claim was also rejected.
Sawmill pays $375,000 in settlement of civil suit related to workers' death – California
Morgan Hill-based Pacific States Industries Inc., doing business as Redwood Empire Sawmill, was sued by the district attorney following the death of a millworker, who died in a bark conveyor that the employees regularly walked on while they were unjamming it. The DA's office investigation found a culture of production over safety at the mill and that the sawmill and its two other facilities in Sonoma County did not have written procedures for employees to work on, unjam or clean machinery and equipment.
Secondary treatment issues clarified – California
In a panel decision, Pena v. Aqua Systems, it was clarified that secondary treatment requests do not have to be initiated by the PTP and that selection of a secondary treater is not subject to Utilization Review (UR) and, therefore, does not require a Request for Authorization (RFA). Failure to promptly respond to and approve secondary treatment requests is likely to result in a penalty assessment.
Six-month limit on mental injuries upheld – Florida
In Kneer v. Lincare & Travelers Ins., an appellate court ruled that an employee was not eligible for benefits for psychiatric injuries because they occurred more than a year after he had reached MMI on his back injury. The court said the claim for temporary benefits for the mental condition was untimely because there is a six-month limitation for temporary benefits for psychiatric injuries (which follow a physical injury).
Remote workers beware: trip over dog not compensable – Florida
In a 12-2 decision, Sedgwick CMS v. Valcourt-Williams, an appeals court reversed the decision of a workers' compensation judge. Working in Arizona, a home-based workers' comp claims adjuster tripped over one of her two dogs, causing her to fall and sustain injuries to her knee, hip and shoulder as she was getting coffee in her kitchen. The court noted that there are limitations to the "arising out of" rule when risks unrelated to work lead to the injury. In this case, her non-employment life (her dog, her kitchen, reaching for a coffee cup) caused the accident, not her employment.
"One Day Rest in Seven" can't circumvent exclusive remedy – Illinois
In Webster v. FirstExpress, Inc., a federal district court held that the state's "One Day Rest in Seven Act" may not be used to circumvent the exclusive remedy of the Workers' Compensation Act. An employee of a tire service company was killed in a collision with a vehicle owned by FirstExpress, Inc. It was argued that the worker had been required to work mandatory overtime and failed to get a full day of rest as called for in the statute. However, the court ruled that the employer was immune from tort liability because its actions did not rise to the level of "specific intent" to harm.
High court clarifies application of treatment guidelines – Minnesota
In Johnson v. Darchuks Fabrication, an employee was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome following a work-related incident. As part of the settlement, the company paid for ongoing medical expenses, which included over ten years of opioids. The employee was asked to go through a fourth IME, and for the first time, the medical examiner expressed doubt about the diagnosis. As a result, the company notified the employee it was discontinuing coverage for the medication. It argued the complex regional pain syndrome had been resolved and that the long-term opioid use did not comply with the workers' compensation treatment parameters.
The case found its way to the Supreme Court and the company argued that the treatment parameters applied in this case. The court agreed, noting the treatment parameters do not apply when liability for the benefits has been denied, but a challenge to the reasonableness and necessity of treatment is not a denial of liability. It ordered the case remanded for further proceedings.
PPD award for fall in employer's parking garage affirmed – Missouri
In McDowell v. St. Luke's Hosp., an appellate court affirmed a decision by the state's Labor and Industrial Relations Commission awarding workers' compensation benefits to an employee who fell while bringing her belongings from the garage to her work station. While the state statute generally means benefits are denied when the hazard or risk is one to which the worker would have been "equally exposed outside of and unrelated to the employment in normal nonemployment life," the court found that her fall was the result of her need to pull and maneuver a two-wheeled cart containing work-related supplies through a congested entryway and, therefore, was compensable. She did not face such a hazard in her non-employment life.
The worker, who had worked for the hospital for 45 years, had undergone a hip replacement and used a cane. The hospital had provided her with the two-wheeled cart to transport her belongings from the garage during her recovery.
No survivor benefits for daughter of deputy killed in car crash while exchanging shift information on his cell phone – Nebraska
In Coughlin v County of Colfax, a deputy sheriff was driving home and on his cell phone exchanging shift information with another officer who just came on duty when his vehicle hit a deer's carcass. He lost control of the car, collided with another vehicle driving in the opposite lane of traffic, and died.
His brother filed a workers' comp claim, which was denied based on the going and coming rule. The course and scope of employment had not been expanded by the cell phone conversation, in spite of its work-relatedness. It was determined that he was in his personal vehicle and off duty at the time of the accident.
An appellate court considered whether the cell phone communication was an employer-created condition that rendered the going and coming rule inapplicable. It found that although the Department expected the deputy to exchange shift-change information, it did not prescribe any one way of doing so and, in fact, had a cellphone policy that prohibited using a cell phone while driving a county-owned vehicle. The denial was affirmed.
Appellate court overturns decision to disqualify worker from future benefits – New York
In Matter of Persons v Halmar Intl, an appellate court overturned a decision by the Workers' Compensation Board that disqualified an injured construction laborer from receiving future wage replacement benefits because he made false statements about his physical condition in violation of the law. The appellate court found that the Board's findings based on video footage of his work as a volunteer firefighter and another video were inaccurate and could not be ascertained without further medical testimony. Further, the worker had acknowledged and disclosed his work as a volunteer firefighter.
The court concluded, "Simply put, our review of the record reflects that the Board's decision [was] not supported by substantial evidence as it [was] based upon speculation, surmise and mischaracterizations."
Law barring undocumented workers from additional benefits upheld by high court – Tennessee
The Supreme Court ruled that a state statute limiting the benefits available to a worker without legal authorization to work in the United States is not pre-empted by federal immigration law. The case, Salvador Sandoval V Mark Williamson, involved an undocumented worker for Tennessee Steel Structure who was injured on the job and received PPD benefits. He did not return to work after benefits ended and filed for additional benefits, but state law precludes benefits for anyone who is not eligible or authorized to work legally in the US.
The worker argued the law was unconstitutional because it was pre-empted by the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). The Supreme Court concurred with the Special Workers' Compensation Appeals Panel that the law does not conflict with any provision of the IRCA.
Attempt to guide hand truck does not constitute "lifting" in violation of safety rules – Virginia
In Snelling Staffing/Chesapeake & Ace Am. Ins. Co. v. Edwards, the employer argued that an employee violated a known rule that prohibited lifting more than 40 pounds without assistance when he was injured. The worker and a co-worker stacked three boxes of computers, each weighing approximately 120 pounds, on a hand truck. When the worker attempted to pull back on the truck, the weight shifted and he tried to steady it with his leg, injuring his back.
The appellate court agreed with the Commission that the employee's actions did not constitute "lifting" in violation of employer's safety rule.
Police officer's slip on the grass not compensable – Virginia
In Conner v. City of Danville, a police officer was part of a surveillance team at a duplex and was interviewing a homicide suspect outside with a colleague. Rain turned to hail and a tornado was moving through, so they decided to seek shelter. She twisted her knee when she slipped on the grass and almost fell and reported the injury. Through treatment, it was found that three discs in her back had apparently been affected and that surgery was needed.
Her comp claim was denied by the deputy commissioner and affirmed by the Commission and an appellate court because her risk of exposure to the tornado was not increased because of her employment. The interview was suspended while they attempted to get out of the weather, which is an act of God. Therefore, this was not a work-related injury.

Global Warming will Make Insects Hungrier, Eating up Key Crops
AFP – Researchers have found a new way that global warming is bad for the planet: more hungry bugs.
Rising temperatures will stimulate insects' appetites — and make some prone to reproducing more quickly — spelling danger for key staples like wheat, corn and rice which feed billions of people, researchers said Thursday.
And since these three crops account for 42 percent of the calories people eat worldwide, any uptick in scarcity could give rise to food insecurity and conflict, particularly in poorer parts of the globe.
"When it gets warmer, pest metabolism increases," said Scott Merrill, a researcher at the University of Vermont and co-author of the study in the journal Science.
"And when pest metabolism increases, insect pests eat more food, which is not good for crops."
Prior studies have already warned of climate change's harmful effects on food staples, whether by making water scarce for irrigation or sapping nutritious content from cereal grains.
The latest study adds to that body of research by focusing on the boosted appetites of pests like aphids and borers.
To find out just how bad it could get, researchers ran simulations to track temperature-driven changes in metabolism and growth rates for 38 insect species from different latitudes.
Results varied by region, with cooler zones more likely to see a boost in voracious pests, and tropical areas expected to see some relief.
Overall, "global yield losses of these grains are projected to increase by 10 to 25 percent per degree of global mean surface warming," said the report.
"In France or the northern United States, most of those insects will have a faster population growth if the temperature warms up a bit," lead author Curtis Deutsch told AFP.
"In Brazil or Vietnam or a very warm place, then it might be the opposite," said Deutsch, a researcher at the University of Washington.
France stands to lose about 9.4 percent of its maize to pests in a world that is 2 C warmer, compared to about 6.6 percent of yield losses today due to pests.
In Europe, currently the most productive wheat producing region in the world, annual pest-induced yield losses could reach 16 million tons.
Eleven European countries are predicted to see 75 percent or higher losses in wheat from pests, compared to current pest damage.
In the United States, the world's largest maize producer, insect-induced maize losses could rise 40 percent under current climate warming trajectories, meaning 20 fewer tons of maize per year.
China, home to one-third of the world's rice production, could see losses of 27 million tons annually.
The study did not account for any anticipated increase in pesticide use, or other methods of stemming the expected crop loss.
- 'Insane' aphid population -
Consider the case of a particularly dangerous pest, the Russian wheat aphid.
Though tiny, these bugs are a major threat in North America, where they are considered an invasive species after first being detected in the 1980s.
Merrill said no aphid males have been found in Canada or the United States. The females, it seems, are reproducing clonally, essentially "giving birth to live clones of themselves," he told AFP.
"These insects are born alive. They are born pregnant. Not only that, their granddaughters are developing inside them when they are born. It is crazy," he added.
"They can reproduce under ideal temperatures very quickly," on the order of eight daughters a day.
"You can imagine how quicky a very small population, even one aphid, can just explode over a whole field season. One or two aphids could turn into a trillion under ideal conditions. It is insane how quickly these populations could grow."
Until now, most research on crop effects from global warming has focused on the plants themselves.
But researchers hope their findings will spark a hunt for more local solutions, like selecting heat and pest resistant crops and rotating plantings rather than simply dumping more pesticides into the environment.
"We have to start thinking about how are we going to short-circuit some of those things before they actually happen," Merrill said.

Q: Node.js POST request with .p12 and pem certificates outputs "Error: read ECONNRESET" I'm setting up a function using node on Firebase to test a Swish integration. Swish is a mobile application for money transfer between wallets (bank accounts). Currently Im testing their Merchant Swish Simulator test environment that is available for merchants to test their integration with the Swish Commerce API.
There is a available manual on their developer website: https://developer.getswish.se/merchants/
Example request that can be done through a unix terminal (to test one of their endpoints) which works perfectly for me (getting 201 respond) is:
curl -s -S -i --cert ./Swish_Merchant_TestCertificate_1231181189.p12:swish --cert-type p12 --cacert ./Swish_TLS_RootCA.pem --tlsv1.1 --header "Content-Type: application/json" https://mss.cpc.getswish.net/swish-cpcapi/api/v1/paymentrequests --data '{ "payeePaymentReference" : "0123456789", "callbackUrl" : "https://myfakehost.se/swishcallback.cfm", "payerAlias" : "46766268608", "payeeAlias" : "1231181189", "amount" : "100", "currency" : "SEK", "message" : "Kingston USB Flash Drive 8 GB" }'

The issue is im not sure of how to make a similar request with including the certs using firebase.
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
let fs = require('fs');
let request = require('request');

app.post('/request-payment', async (req, res) => {
    const url = 'https://mss.cpc.getswish.net/swish-cpcapi/api/v1/paymentrequests';

    let data = {
        payeePaymentReference : '0123456789',
        message: 'Kingston USB Flash Drive 8 GB',
        callbackUrl: 'https://myfakehost.se/swishcallback.cfm',
        amount: '100',
        currency: 'SEK',
        payeeAlias: '1231181189',
        payerAlias: '46766268608'
    };

    let options = {
        url: url,
        headers: {
            "content-type": "application/json",
        },
        agentOptions: {
            pfx: fs.readFileSync('certificates/Swish_Merchant_TestCertificate_1231181189.p12'),
            passphrase: 'swish',
        },
        ca: fs.readFileSync('certificates/Swish_TLS_RootCA.pem'),
        body: data,
        json: true
    };

    return await request.post(options, async (error, response, body) => {
        if (!error && response.statusCode === 201) {
            return res.status(200).json({
                url: response.body.url,
            })
        } else {
            console.log('error', error);
            return res.status(404).json({
                message: 'Error: ' + error,
            })
        }
    });
});

exports.swish = functions.https.onRequest(app);

I've been trying to pass the .p12 and .pem files when making a request to the endpoint above and im sending the exact same data as above. I still get this error:

error { Error: read ECONNRESET at TLSWrap.onread (net.js:622:25) errno: 'ECONNRESET', code: 'ECONNRESET', syscall: 'read' }

Can anyone see anything wrong I do?
I've also tried to set a "binary" option to the .pem file. I do then get a crash from node saying that the header is to long....

A: Here is the way I populate options for request to make it work:
const options = {
            url: "https://mss.cpc.getswish.net/swish-cpcapi/api/v1/paymentrequests",
            json: true,
            cert: fs.readFileSync("Swish_Merchant_TestCertificate_1231181189.pem", "ascii"),
            passphrase: "swish",
            body: data,
            ca: fs.readFileSync("Swish_TLS_RootCA.pem", "ascii"),
            key: fs.readFileSync("Swish_Merchant_TestCertificate_1231181189.key", "ascii")
        };

Note the important differences:

*

*"ascii" encoding to read the files

*usage of the "pem" certificate instead of "p12".

A: Note that Swish has now released API v2. I got the payment initiation endpoint working like this:
import { readFileSync } from "fs"
import { Agent, AgentOptions } from "https"
import fetch from "node-fetch"

const url = `https://mss.cpc.getswish.net/swish-cpcapi/api/v2/paymentrequests/${randomUUID}`

const data = {
      callbackUrl: "https://myfakehost.se/swishcallback.cfm",
      amount: "100.00",
      currency: "SEK",
      payeeAlias: "1234679304",
      payeePaymentReference: "foo"
    }

const cert = {
      cert: readFileSync(`./Swish_Merchant_TestCertificate_1234679304.pem`, "utf-8"),
      key: readFileSync(`./Swish_Merchant_TestCertificate_1234679304.key`, "utf-8"),
      passphrase: "swish",
    }

const options = {
      agent: new Agent({ ...cert, minVersion: "TLSv1.2", maxVersion: "TLSv1.2" }),
      method: "PUT",
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
      headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }
    }

fetch(url, options)
   .then(handleToken)
   .catch(handleError)

Gone are the days when it's easy to 'clock off' from your workload when you leave the office. We can all get emails or take calls on our phone. And while that can be very useful, it can have an effect mentally too. Take a step back and mentor! You'll have to turn your phone off and devote yourself to something and someone else. It makes a refreshing change.
I've found that I've had to learn to listen differently as a mentor, and it's a very important skill to develop. In most conversations, we often devote at least part of our brains to thinking about what we'll say next. We often reply along the lines of "That reminds me of the time when this happened to me…" don't we? Well, mentoring has taught me to focus 100% on listening. It's taught me the value of not mirroring conversationally in that way, but instead to think solely about the key issues that the mentee is bringing up and the best ways to respond to them.
It's always good to meet people in the sector. Through both my mentoring training and mentoring itself, I've met a wide range of people to whom I'm now able to turn for professional advice or with the odd query. Of course, I will also happily do the same for them.
This is an important one. When I started mentoring, I found myself itching to tell my mentee what I thought the answer was. This might have been appropriate sometimes, but I've come to understand that the best way for someone to learn is for them to arrive at the answers themselves.
Mentoring skills can be so important to a manager. What is the best way to enable your team to develop, and to become increasingly effective? Mentoring, as well as coaching, may be the answer. And I think the ability to mentor is an underestimated element of leadership.
Taking that step back from your own work problems may actually help you in the long run, because you might see them afresh. And if you're mentee is arriving at their own solutions with your support, it may well be that they'll come up with things you hadn't previously thought of!
While I have talked about the benefits of mentoring for mentors, the real beauty of it is that it is really for the mentee, and for them alone. It is their time. They set the agenda each time, and together we've worked out their goals for the year. What actions will they need to take to get there? What problems or issues can we talk about along the way? When it works, it's incredibly 'lean' - simple and effective.
We're working in the voluntary sector after all. We rely on volunteers, such as Trustees and fun runners, to operate effectively as organisations. Let's practise what we preach! And while we're at it, mentoring shows your commitment to your profession as well as to the sector. Frankly, it looks good on your CV.
You've probably gathered by now how much I enjoy mentoring. Simply put, making a connection with another person can be tremendously enjoyable. It's not always easy, and it's certainly not all laughs, but I gain tremendous satisfaction from the hard earned moments when my mentee feels the time I'm spending with them is making a difference to them.
Surely I don't need to go on? Train to be a mentor! Sign up now!


As you invite people to your Challenge Groups, one of the more common objections you'll hear will be about price. Most of the people you will meet don't currently allocate money in their budget to their health and fitness needs—that's why they're talking to you!
"I know it may not be easy to get started, but I can promise you that it'll be worth it. Besides, the company has a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you aren't seeing the results you wanted, you can get your money back. You've got nothing to lose.


Having only ever had France as the closest thing to a national team to follow in the FIFA World Cup, New Caledonia football fanatics now have a side of their own heading to the world stage.
For so long Les Cagous have finished runners-up at all levels of football competition but thanks to the increased number of places for Oceania at men's youth tournaments, the mini-Cagous are on their way to the FIFA U-17 World Cup in India.
An occasion friends, family and football fans from across the country were able to celebrate at the weekend when the heroic side made their return.
Federation Caledonienne de Football President Steeve Laigle was among the dozens who turned up at Tontouta Airport to welcome the side home.
"It's an historic day for us, a first for New Caledonia," he said.
"These young players, these "Petits Cagous" have registered themselves in the history books. They've grown up and they're going to change the face of football in New Caledonia.
FCF Technical Director Dominique Wacalie couldn't contain his excitement at the achievement of the young side, especially as a former international himself knowing how difficult qualification for a FIFA event can be.
"I was incredibly emotional when I saw the final score," Wacalie said.
The New Caledonia U-17 team will represent Oceania alongside New Zealand at the FIFA U-17 World Cup from 6-28 October 2017 in India.


Topics: Accessibility, News, Web standards.
In the final release of WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2, the acceptable minimum color contrast ratio was changed from 5:1 to 4.5:1. I've updated both my color contrast tests — Color Contrast Comparison Tool and the Color Contrast Spectrum Tool to reflect the change in contrast ratio.
Essentially, this means that the working group decided that color combinations with lower contrast (more similar colors) were acceptable for general use on the web. This is certainly good news for designers, since it will provide for a greater variety design voices than previously.
The contrast ratio of 4.5:1 was chosen for level AA because it compensated for the loss in contrast sensitivity usually experienced by users with vision loss equivalent to approximately 20/40 vision. (20/40 calculates to approximately 4.5:1.) 20/40 is commonly reported as typical visual acuity of elders at roughly age 80.
While the previous higher ratio requirement may have accommodated for an even larger audience, the decision of the committee appears to have been that it had crossed a line of diminishing returns, and that the lower requirement is sufficient for most common use.
This effects the minimum ratio to accommodate at Level AA, and the minimum ratio to accommodate at Level AAA for large print.
Still — don't get carried away!
I assume you're referring to the Colour Contrast Analyzer plugin by Gez Lemon. It's a great plugin, and extremely efficient for identifying contrast problems with a given page.
The failures you're seeing for this page are with the AERT Color Contrast test. This was the contrast test generally used to check compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 1, the predecessor to the current Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. The Luminosity Contrast Ratio test is specifically recommended by WCAG 2, and using those guidelines this page is in compliance.

I accidentally bump into her grocery cart and that's when I recognize her. It's Marcella, from the old neighborhood. She looks startled, as if she can't recall how the infant she's holding got into her arms. She must be thirty now. When she realizes who I am—her neighbor from the Second Ward, from back when she was young enough to ride her bike without a t-shirt—she blushes a moment, then nods her head shyly, cradling her infant closer.
Seeing her reminds me of the night Solomon was gunned down in the bungalow that separated her family from mine. El Alacran gang members targeted the wrong spot. Solomon was five and they got him in his sleep, a stray bullet splintering his carotid artery. Marcella would have been about nine. I'd just finished my first quarter at the Institute, still living with mom. Now it's 1970 and we've both moved up, shopping for food here in River Oaks.
Marcella wears a giant rock on her ring finger and when I ask what she's doing these days, where she's living, she bobs the sleeping infant against her chest and explains that he is her seventh child. She looks almost happy and she's clearly provided for, so I leave it at that. But for the next twenty minutes I wander the aisles, indecisive. My stomach churns and I find my way to the parking lot where I can sit in my car, mind reeling.
There isn't anything in that store to soothe the things I've swallowed, things that seeing Marcella makes me taste all over again. There's Solomon down there, his tiny body like a scar along my stomach lining. There's the day my abuela died, too soon, my mother wailing at the wake. There's Nutria getting an abortion and my sister leaving us. The boyfriend who hit her so hard her jaw unhinged—the only man I ever wanted to kill. It all festers, acid hot in my throat, my hands gripping the wheel with so many years gone past and still—I'm driving nowhere, nowhere fast at all.

1Make the salsa and dressing first: toss all the salsa ingredients together in a bowl and set aside. Place all the dressing ingredients in a blender (or tall container if you have a hand-held immersion blender) and whiz until smooth and emulsified. It will be a creamy pale green.
2Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel and heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of canola oil. Mix the mayo and wasabi paste and spread over each scallop; place the pistachios in a shallow dish and dip the scallops in to coat on both sides.

The Learn section provides a Quick Start Guide to using INVEST and also provides a comprehensive Guided Tour of INVEST by discussing sustainability in general, sustainability for highways in particular, and then dives into who, how and when to, use each INVEST module. The last section within the Learn section, Using INVEST to Accomplish Your Goals, cites specific examples of how transportation agencies across the US are using INVEST to advance and instill better business practices, facilitate sustainability on projects and programs, educate staff and stakeholders to improve understanding of sustainable practices, and promote internal and external communication and outreach.
Additionally, for resources to create printed materials and presentations on INVEST, an INVEST User Toolkit is available here for download. The user toolkit contains a fact sheet, user guide, and slide presentation. The fact sheet provides basic information about INVEST. The user guide includes a quick start guide, background information, overview of the modules, information on functions such as collaborate, tips on setting up a scoring workshop, and specific examples of how transportation agencies used INVEST criteria to evaluate, score, and improve their level of sustainability. The slide presentation offers an overview of INVEST. You can customize it in order to make your own presentation to your organization or stakeholders.
Step One: Navigate INVEST. Review information in the Learn tab to learn about sustainable highways and about INVEST. Click on the Criteria tab to browse criteria in each of the modules. If you would like examples of how other projects and agencies have used INVEST, check out the case studies and criterion examples, available on the Resources tab. Most of the information on the website does not require registering to view. However, when you are ready to start scoring, you will need to register.
Step Two: Register. Click on the Register link in the upper right hand corner of the home page. Fill in all of the fields in the Registration form and click Continue.
Step Three: Log Into Your Account. You will receive an e-mail acknowledging your registration. It will contain your user name and password. Return to the INVEST home page and click on the Login link directly above the Register link you used earlier.
Step Four: My Workspace. Once you have logged on, you can access the My Workspace page. It will give you two options – Scoring Tutorial and Start a New Project or Program. For more detailed information about navigating the Score tab, review the Scoring Tutorial.
Step Five: Evaluate a Project or Program. To start evaluating a new project or program with INVEST, select Start a New Project or Program on the Score Tab page. This option will link you to a Program or Project Registration page where you will enter your project or program information. This will ensure your project or program is saved and accessible in your My Workspace page.
Within the registration page, asterisked fields are required; all other fields are optional. In addition to basic information about the program or project, the registration page asks for the INVEST module that will be used and the preferred scorecard (for Project Development module only).
If necessary, the information provided on the registration page may be edited later. However, it is important for the Project Development module to select the appropriate scorecard. This cannot be changed later without deleting the project and then registering it again. Once the registration information is entered, select Continue, the INVEST website will confirm registration and then direct you to the Scorecard page.
Once the program or project is registered, the user can select Continue an Existing Program or Project on the Score Tab page or select My Workspace on the webpage header bar. Either will take the user to the My Workspace page.

Als Mantarochen werden zwei Arten aus der Gattung der Teufelsrochen (Mobula) bezeichnet – der Riffmanta (Mobula alfredi) und der Riesenmanta (Mobula birostris). Die Gattung Manta, zu der beide Arten ursprünglich gehörten, wurde im Juni 2017 mit Mobula synonymisiert.

Das Maul der Mantarochen ist sehr breit und endständig, das der übrigen Teufelsrochen leicht unterständig. Bei den Mantarochen ist nur der Oberkiefer bezahnt, bei den übrigen Teufelsrochen beide Kiefer.

This will be my final entry in your guest book. It has been such a healing experience for all of us to write our heartfelt thoughts to you. To read the letters from the beginning, when the pain of your passing was so raw, to the last few entries, when we have simply expressed the void you have left behind, you can see how we have accepted the fact that we all must pass on and, with the good Grace of God, one day we will all be together again. I can only hope, when my time comes, it will be your face I first touch on the other side. I believe you will always know what is happening in our lives and on occasion, through a soft breeze, a sound or maybe an aroma, we will be reminded that you are always with us. I am so proud and grateful that you were my Dad. Thank you for all you done for me and the wonderful man you were. My love for you is endless and I will miss you always...and Life goes on.
Art (Dad)...Cant believe five years have gone by. We all miss you and I know I speak for everyone. You have been the best father-in-law anyone could have asked for. Grammy is hanging in there, she will always be taken care of. The holiday's are coming up again, and you are always on our minds especially at this time. You left us with so many fond memories. Your laugh, saying "Ruth", all of the wonderful things you made over the years for the kids. All of your help and advice you gave to Sue and myself. Even though I wont be able to write in this Guestbook anymore, there wont be a day that I wont think of you. You will always stay in my heart, a special place in all of our hearts. Thanks for the memories.

This has been a long 5 years. Everyone has missed you and remembered so much about you. We've all been touched with your presence at some point through these years. Although I've been extremely grateful to know you haven't left me completely, its still not the same. I swear I still hear your laugh echoing in the room when family is together having fun, or your whistle when I sit in the living room with Mema watching movies. I know you're with us everyday, but I still miss you so much. There is so much I know you see, but I just want one last chance to look into your eyes and give you a bear hug and tell you I love you. I miss you a lot. You are always in my thoughts, and always will be.
Grampy, 5 years has gone so quickly. Each day we all miss you. I talk about you often with Jesse, so he will know all about his Papa. He had fun playing with the puppet theater you made. I love you!!!
I cant believe it has been 5 years already dad. I miss you just as much today as I did 5 years ago. I was at the house today and gave you a hug. I went down to your work shop and looked around at your things, you made so many special and beautiful things down there. Dad I will always miss you and love you so much. Until we are together again I will think of you everyday!!! Love you forever!
Today is a sad milestone. You have been gone for 5 years. It doesn't seem that long, and yet, it seems forever. How I wish you could be here, to be with all of us, to see your all your new great-grand babies. I am taking care of Mom for you. I feel it is my responsibility to give her the best life possible. I can only hope you can see it. I miss you everyday, Dad. I will love you forever.
I couldn't let this Father's Day go by without sending you my love. I miss you so much. Please watch over us and help us do what is right concerning Mom. I love you Dad.
I hope you know how much we all miss you, not only during the holidays, but always. Please, watch over us until we are together again. Happy Easter.
Wishing you a Happy Easter and just wanted to let you know that not only do I think of you on the holidays but everyday. You are always in my thoughts and prayers Dad and I miss you so much.
Grampy, I miss you and think about you everyday. We got out your puppet theater for Jesse and he is having the best time with it. It brought back good memories. I hope someday his children will be playing with it, and will hear all about his Papa who built it. Happy Birthday! We love you so much!!!
To my beloved Father, Happy Birthday Dad. I am sending "sugar cookies" to you. I miss your bear hugs and hearty laughter. I wish you were here to see all the babies, you would love them all. Watch over us all until we are together again... I Love You Dad..

Dear Art ~ I just wanted to say what a special person you were. Roger and I always enjoyed you stopping by and having our conversations with you and Ruth. I can see by your guest book how much your family misses you. I know their pain and hurt as my dad's been gone since Jan.1998 and now my mom has passed on Labor Day and the pain and hurt is just an ache that is endless. We have been blessed, your family and mine to have had such wonderful parents who will always be our strength and whom we will always look up too. Take care Art and rest in peace.
Four years sounds so long, yet it feels like your passing was yesterday. I wish you could still be here, and meet your new great-grandkids, and your new grandson-in-law. You and Chad would have gotten along together so well, and he would have loved you so much. Even across the world I think of you every day, and feel as though your presence is around me every so often. I miss you so much, especially your laugh. You will NEVER be forgotten.
I cant believe it has been 4 years already, boy how our lives fly by. I think of you everyday and miss you so much, you will always be in my heart until we are together again. I love and miss you DAD!!!!!!!!!
In a few hours, it will be exactly 4 years since you left us. The pain I feel in my heart is just as fresh as it was that night. I miss you so very much. I hope where ever you are, you are healthy and happy and in the presence of God. I hope you had a chance to be with Conner before he came into the world. And I hope you can see and enjoy all of you great grandchildren. I am sure you would love them all. I miss you Dad. I love you.
I am sending you lots of hugs and kisses on this Father's Day. Oh how I miss your smile and laughter! I think of you often and miss you everyday. I wish you were here to enjoy all of your great grandchildren. I know you would love them all, as they would all love their Grampy. Watch over us always. I love you Dad. Happy Father's Day.

As this Christmas day comes to an end, my thoughts turn to you. I remember our Christmas days when we were little and the love you always gave us. I remember you putting our toys together and going to Grams for Christmas dinner. I remember thinking the ride was long and you'd tease me about running out of gas. I will never forget those times.
I thought of you as I made my cutouts, knowing that you would not taste any. I miss you so much. I hope you are happy wherever you are. Keep watching over us. I love you Dad.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all missed you today as we have the last few christmas since you've been gone. It was fantastic holiday having all my kids together again. Mom also had a beautiful day, she is so funny!! Now i know why you were so crabby all the time , she drives us nuts lol. I just had to say it once you know where im coming from. Well another holiday has come and gone. Again i had your candle lit by your picture. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS AND I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU UNTIL WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU DAD!
I am thankful today (and everyday) that I had such a loving Dad in my life. You were always a source of strength and security for me. I thank God you were here to know and love my children. They will pass on all those wonderful memories of you to their own children. Watch down upon us until we are together again. And on this Thanksgiving, I thank God for you.
Today is three years since you left us. I think of you every day. I had such an urge to talk to you just before the Sabres started the first game of the season. I wanted to share the excitement. I hope you see the games. I wish my grandbabies could know you. I wish I had just one picture of you with them. They are such a joy in my life. They would have made you smile.
You will always be in my heart. You are in the fabric of my being. I love you Dad.

Merry Christmas Dad. I made the cookies this year, but without you here, it just felt like another Christmas chore I needed to do. I always looked forward to handing that big box to you. I know how much you liked them. It was wonderful watching our grandbabies open their gifts and playing with the wrapping paper. I know you were around to enjoy them too. I miss you so much. You are in my heart forever.
PS... I see you everytime I look into Ryan and Maries beautiful blue eyes!
Can anyone believe its now two years since you left us. And you are so much missed. We remeber and speak of you almost everyday. All is well, and Grammy is doing great. She is very healthy, and evn her eyes steadily improve. Again I miss you and think of you often. I will write back soon.
DAD, IT HAS BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE I SAID GOODBYE AND IT STILL SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY. IT IS REALLY HARD TO PUT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH I MISS YOU.

PLEASE WATCH OVER ALL OF US AND ESPECIALY MOM SHE DOES MISS YOU SO MUCH. HELP US TO TAKE CARE OF HER AND KEEP HER BUSY SO SHE WILL NEVER EVER FEEL TO LONELY. I WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU DAD!!!!!!!!!
Grampy, I can't believe it has been two years without you already, I think about you every day. I miss your laugh your smile you calling me kiddo, tasting all your latest recipes and so much more. I am very proud to have named our baby after you Griffin Arthur (Grammy loves it). The other day we were watching Garrett's baby video and all the sudden you were there, holding Garrett and you said "So you have finally met the old grouch". When I seen it I sarted crying right away but it was more of a happy cry. It was nice to see you and hear your voice again, that is what keeps us strong all the fond memories we have of you, until we meet again someday. We love and miss you! Mel,keith,Garrett,Daylon And baby Griffin Arthur!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievably, it's been two years since you left us. The emptiness I feel is just as strong today as it was when I said goodbye to you. I miss you so much. But, life goes on. Mom is well taken care of, but you knew you didn't have to worry about that. All the new babies are beautiful and healthy, with another one on the way. It was a surprise to us, but not to you. I wish so much to hear your voice, talk about the Sabres and Bills, feel that wonderful bear hug. I guess I will just have to wait awhile. I'm not in a hurry though. Too many grandbabies to play with! I just wanted to let you know how much you are loved and missed.
PS..Please give Nash, Lady and Hansapuppy a big hug from me..
So much has been going on lately, but not one day goes by that I forget to think about you. Especially all last week, when I found one of my old Jazz tapes. Listening to it made me think of how proud you were of me and how I could hear you over everyone else in the crowd. If I could go back to one of the few happy moments in my life, it would probably be right after a huge solo, watching you in the front row freaking out and beaming, which you always did, probably more than I was.
I miss and love you. Hope all is well up there.
Go Sabres! One series down, three more to go! More than ever I wanted to call you last night. I wanted to hear the excitement in your voice, hear your laughter and share in your hope that "this is our year". I miss you more than ever. Keep watching over us, especially your new great grandbabies.
You are a Great Grampy another two times. Marie is just beautiful and Cheri is a terrific mother. Melanie had Griffin this morning. We are all very excited to have so many little ones. Makes us realize life goes on. Keep watching over all of us. I miss you & Love you.
The Sabres have their best chance ever to go all the way for the Cup!!
Lets hope for the best. All is well gandbabies are being born seem like every minute. Melanie is due in a few weeeks herself. Ruth is well and I will write soon. GO SABRES.
I JUST WANTED TO WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I AM SO GLAD I GOT TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOU TODAY, AT THE HOUSE. NOW THAT EASTER IS NEAR THE FACS-NACHT OR HOW EVER YOU SPELL IT ARE OUT AND I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVED THEM. I FINALLY REMEMBERED WHICH DAY WAS YOUR BIRTHDAY IT ONLY TOOK ME 79 YEARS TO GET IT RIGHT HA-HA. THERE ISNT A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DONT THINK OF YOU.

I just want to wish you a "Happy 79th Birthday" today and send you a "basket" of sugar cookies. I miss you so much and think of you everyday. I'll love you forever.
As dawn approaches on this quiet Christmas morning, I want You to be the first I wish a Merry Christmas. There will be many kisses and hugs, much laughter and a few tears today, but you will be with me in my heart for every moment. I miss you so much. I love you more than words can express. Merry Christmas Dad.

Exactly one year ago today, a ray of hope filled my heart as you seemed to be recovering from you ordeal. Your beautiful blue eyes were crystal clear and you mouthed my name when you seen me. You wiggled your toes when asked to do so and you shook your head "yes" when I asked you if you wanted to go home. When Mom walked into the room you said her name. It was the last word I would ever hear you say. I left your room confident that we would have a little more time together, but God had other plans. I am very grateful for those few minutes of awareness we shared.
It has been a year of ups and downs, but through it all, I know you were there for us. I hope you greeted Lady as she crossed over and I hope you danced at Charlies wedding. I know you held and loved your new "great grandbabies" before the Lord sent them down to their moms and dads. I like to think you already know who they are and what path in life they will follow. I especially hope where ever you are, time has no meaning and this past year has been nothing but a blink of your beautiful blue eyes.
You are on my mind and in my heart every moment of every day. I will miss you always and love you forever.
Art--(Dad), Almost a year has passed since you left us. You are so sorely missed by all. Grammy is doing well and we watch over her all the time. Wish you were here, the Holidays are near, the Bills and the Sabres are in full swing, and you would love to see them. But whereever you are you are rooting them on!! I will be here for Grammy and the family forever.
Happy Fathers Day Dad! I miss you so much and think about you all the time. I was thinking this morning before I got up how lucky you are to be in your beautiful place, and how peaceful and happy you must be there. I look forward to being there some day with all of you. Now i am not afraid to die any more because i know you are waiting for me. Please help to guide me taking care of Mom and making good decisions for her. Me,Debbie and Dennis are doing all we can to make her life with out you a happy one. You should be proud of her though she is doing a good job. Leave me a sign once in awhile i do miss them Dad. I love and miss you Dad, until we are together again.Happy Fathers Day, again!
I wanted to say Happy Fathers Day. I know I say the same thing everytime but I miss you more than words can say. I think about you all the time and cry almost everyday I thought it would be easier by now but it just isn't. I miss comming over and seeing you, hearing you call me kido, and seeing you laughing and talking with Garrett and Daylon. I could go on forever. I miss you this Fathers Day and everyday.
We all miss you on this Fathers Day, and wish you were here. Grammy is still doing well, we all watch over her and take care of her. The Sabres had a great year and I think they just might go all the way next year. Again we all miss you and you are always in our thoughts.
I just needed to wish you a "Happy Easter" today. It was a beautiful day and, as always, you were in my thoughts. I wish you were here. I was looking for my cookbook this morning and the folder of pictures you printed out for me fell out of the cupboard. Inside was the picture of you when you were 2 years old, the one with the bunny on the wicker chair. I put it into a frame and have it included in my Easter display. It makes me smile, I love that picture. Keep watching over us. We all miss you very much. You're forever in my heart...I Love You.
Easter Sunday at 9:30pm. we had fun today with Grammy, and the family. We had a great Brunch and then to Melissa's house. I miss and think of you often. All is well with Grammy, she is doing quite well. I am sure you know all is well too. I will write soon.
Happy Easter Dad I wish you were here today to go out with all of us for easter dinner. I know you will be watching over us with your big smile. I remember when we were little all dressed up in our pretty dresses and pat and leather shoes,easter bonet,pures and gloves. We had wonderful easters when we were little, thank you so much for all my beautiful memories you have left with me. I thank god for having such a fantastic childhood. I was really lucky to have such wonderful parents who gave me alot of love and attention all my life. I send all my love to you Dad on this Easter Sunday and everyday until we are together again.
It is hard to believe but today is exactly 6 months (to the day) that you left us and touched the face of God. I hope wherever you are, time has no meaning. We are all being strong and carrying on, especially for Moms sake. She has a few new things in her life to give her faith and hope in the future. With our love and encouragement, she is doing very well. I promised you she would be taken care of and I hope we are making you proud. Keep watching over us. We all love you.
Today was a beautiful sunny day, and it was also a very special day for our family. We sent you signed red,white and blue ballons to celebrate your Birthday! We stood in front of Moms trailer and sent them up to you. We all love and miss you so much and I know you are there watching over us. We all got the your sign today the 11 cents you left in your coat pocket. That was so cool keep leaving us the signs we all look forward to them. I know or should i say we all know that you were there with us today. I love and miss you Dad, until next time!
We miss you so much. You have been in our thoughts every day since you left us, and today especially. I know that you are still with us, I think I finally got my "sign". That **Line In Use** was you, wasn't it?
Melissa, Jimmy and Jesse Q.
You may not be here with us tangibly, but we know you're up in iced sugar cookie heaven.
Happy 78th Birthday, Grampy. I love you.
Today would be your 78 birthday. You would be proud of me becaused this time I really remembered the right date. I would always try to guess every year is dads birthday on the 21 or the 22. Dad I have had you on my mind all day wishing I could call you and wish you a Happy Birthday,but I cant this year. I know you are watching all of us and you know how muched you are loved and missed. I keep you so close to my heart and keep a candle lit by your picture in the kitchen everyday. I want to thank you for helping me deal with your death. You have kept me strong by letting me take care of Mom and all your bills. Again I feel that you are part of my soul, being there when you slipped away from us makes me feel that you continue to live through me. I have never felt so close to you and I will never be scared to die because I know you are now in a better place. I will always be there for Mom until the day she joins you. Now I know why you would say RUTH, she can drive me nuts sometimes,but She is a keeper. I want to wish you a Happy Birthday Dad, if they have birthdays in heaven and I want you to remember how much I love you and miss you forever until we are together again. Keep watching over me so I will always feel safe and continue to give me signs because I look forward to them.
Happy Birthday Grampy. I love you!
Grampy, Happy Birthday, This is really hard,I don't want to be typing this today,I want to be at your house with you celebrating your birthday, I miss you more than words can say, I never thought it would be so hard, I never lost anyone close. I feel you with me though and that makes me feel better. I feel heartbroken for Grammy, she says the hardest thing to do is get rid of your clothes and she is crying she says I know it sounds crazy but what if he comes home and then he has nothing to wear. Poor Grammy, she misses you so much. Grampy, I think about you everyday, I wish today more than anything, I could be with you to give you a hug and kiss and tell you I love you, and say Happy Birthday. We Love You! Mel,Keith,Garrett And Daylon p.s. look for our balloons.

I thought I told you to watch over us while we are in Vegas.
going great out here. Gina and I are doing wonderful, other than missing everyone so much.
we miss everyone!!!! love ya guys!!
I just needed to let you know, on this Valentines Day, how much you are loved. I miss you.
Exactly one year ago tomorrow we spent about 3 hours talking while you were sitting in your hospital bed. The only thing worse, to me, than you being in the hospital on Valentines day, was you having to sit there alone. You kept trying to assure me that I should spend the night with my boyfriend at the time, who was mad at me for not thinking of just him that day, and I kept telling you, that you were more important. The nurses were so nice that day, letting me stay nearly an hour past visiting hours. We talked about everything that night. From when you were young to what I should do with my life. You said to me "I'm proud of you kiddo, keep up the good work" and I've been trying so hard to fight to succeed just to show you what I can do. I can feel you with me sometimes. When times get really rough there usually seems to be a little break in the stress, if only for a moment where I swear I can hear your melodic whistling. And no matter what happens next I know I can get through it because you're on my side. So, all I can seem to do this year is wish you were still around to spend another Valentines Day by your side. I miss you so much.
The holidays were tough without you. I woke up early on Christmas morning and stayed in bed thinking. Tears filled my eyes as I thought about Grammy waking up alone on Christmas morning. But I kept on thinking and I realized that you would be with her in spirit and that we would be with her as well.
It is so hard to accept that you are gone forever. I regret that I did not chat longer with you during that last phone call, or hold you tighter for our last hug.
But then I know you heard and felt me when I held your hand that last night in the hospital and whispered in your ear "I love you Grampy"
One of my favorite memories with you is the silly notes I would leave you and Grammy after each trip to the cottage. You both always got a kick out of that. I'd summarize the weekend and joke around. And all my old notes were always there, behind the note pad. I feel like I am doing that again right now. I hope you still like it.
In a few hours, we will turn the page of time. In a way, I don't want the New Year to come. I feel I am leaving you behind. Thank you for bringing me into the world fifty one years ago today. I loved having you for my Dad. And thank you for the beautiful birthday gift. It means the world to me, knowing you picked it out. I think you were always amazed at all "my hummers". I will think of you whenever they are around. You are in my heart always. I love you and miss you. Happy New Year.
Today is Christmas. It has been very hard to get into the spirit this year. Putting up holiday decorations was like swimming through mud but I finally got through it. Making the cookies was the hardest, but I am sure you were with me for every cookie I cut, baked and iced. I gave each one of my kids a porcelain snowflake ornament to be put on their Christmas trees in memory of you. They all cried.
I cannot describe the pain of losing you, but I think you know how I feel. I thank you for your "signs" of reassurance that you are among us. Sue, Mom and I laugh about the "little things" you do and we know your are laughing along with us. I want to especially thank you for the picture you "found" of you sitting at my kitchen table with the cup of coffee in your hand. I never would have found it, and by the grin on your face, you knew I would be surprised.
Well, I just wanted to let you know on this special day, how much you are loved and missed. I Love You Dad. Merry Christmas.
Well its December 20th, five days before Christmas and how we all do miss you. We just made cookies a couple of days ago our yearly tradition. Sue was just saying how she feels you are close by and she doesent feel an emptiness. I guess that is a good thing. Grammy seems to be doing well. I know we all have days where we may dwell on you not being around. You are never forgotton. I go back to when I frist met Sue and your Christmasses were so much fun, and they always have been since I have been a part of them. So as the big day approaches, my present to you is what I have said before I will always be there for Grammy and the rest of the family. I will be thinking of you often during the Holiday season, and I know you arent far away. I will kiss the grandkids for you and great-grandchildren also. Bye-for-now.
I finally got the courage to write in your book, I wanted to so many times but I guess I just dont want to accept that you are gone. Today is Thanksgiving and it will be very difficult with out you sitting at the table, but I know you are here with me because I can feel you. I have your picture with a candle on top of my frig. so you will not be far from my heart today and always. Dad keep me strong for Mom I am trying my hardest to fill your shoes, and I give Thanks to you today for trusting me to do that.I will help Mom get through today and everyday until we are all together again. I love you so much Dad and miss you every minute of every day.
I write this note to let you all know I will always be there for you. I am especially feeling very close to Grammy. And that will never change. If its a Tim Hortons coffee run, talking about an old movie, a phone call or just anything at all, I will be there for Grammy. I look forward to talking and spending time with Grammy. She is very special to me. My own mother died 39 years ago this past October 28, and I still do miss her. However I do love to spend time with grammy and I do consider her a second mother to me. And Art I know you are looking down without a care in the universe knowing Grammy is being looked after. I do miss you Art, but I know you are in good hands, and say hello to Gram-Pop and Uncle Ed. By the way the Bills won last Sunday. They area 500 team but they are hanging in there. Just all of us hanging in there. Thanksgiving is around the corner, I will miss you and the food you always put on your plate, it was always the same Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Nothing more, nothing less. I always kidded you that you always ate the same, food items, never wavered. Just a little thing that I wont see anymore but I will always have my memories. Memories, that is no one take from us. And like I said in the begining, I intend to make new memories with my second mother. I will always be there for Grammy and this whole family.
In the past month, family gatherings were just not the same without your unique laugh and bright smile. Although we aren't able to see you, we know you're with us always, and we love you dearly. I miss you big guy. I love you. Although it was the saddest day of my life thus far..It will be a joyous moment when we all get to be together again. Watch over us and help us in time of need -- you were good at that anyways. Love you! I feel better knowing I held your hand and had the chance to tell you I loved you the night you passed away.
Don't worry about Mema. We've got her covered. She's in good hands with us... Lots of love always!
Today is exactly one month since you left. Seems like forever. You have shown all of us, in your own special way, that you are still here with us. We all thank you for that. Sue has done a wonderful job getting everything in order. I know you are so proud of her. Mom had the option to fade away or blossom. With our love and attention she chose to blossom. You know we will always be there for her. The upcoming holidays will be especially hard, but with our love for one another, we will endure. I know that when we are together you are happy. We all love you, miss you and carry your love in our hearts. You will always be the most loved Dad, Grampy and Papa. May you rest in peace in Heaven, until we are together again.
I just got back from a gathering at Melissa's house, and I have to let you know.
I am so glad you lived long enough to see your family reunited. That's enough to let anyone sleep peacefully.
Its Saturday 12:18am. I just was driving home from Gina's and began to think about you. I was thinking about how the WHOLE family was together for the first time in ages. I know your watching us and I can see your smile, I can hear your laugh. I can honestly say that I even feel your presence.
I will never, ever forget the last time that we spent together. You Grammy and I in the hospital room. We laughed that WHOLE time. I hope for that hour and 45 mins were painless to you, because it was painfull for me to see you hurting, but I had to keep everything calm, and it went so well.
Thats how we will keep grammy. Altough its painfull to go through this situation, the WHOLE family will keep things calm.
Keep the WHOLE family under your wing grampy, we need your laugh in our tears, we need your smile in our hearts.
You were a great man,you had a great wife,family,and friends. We will miss you dearly. And I know that when we all must go, you will be right beside us once again, and at that time the family will once again be WHOLE.
We all love you and miss you, but know we will be togeather again, until then we love you Grampy.
Today was your Memorial Service. The military ceremony was excellent and well deserved. Everyone had beautiful memories to share. I sat in my seat, knowing what I wanted to say, but feeling far too emotional to speak the words.
I remembered the past year when I was pregnant with Jesse. I was seeing the doctor biweekly because of the high risk of my pregnancy. You always knew when I had an appointment and called me every day, without fail, to ask me how it went. That meant so much to me and I looked forward to your calls. I am so glad Jesse got to spend at least 3 months with his "Papa".
The night before you went in for your scope you called me from the ICU. I did not know that it would be the last time I would talk to you. We chatted about the baby, the hospital and things. I'll never forget how the call ended. You said: "Love ya, kid."
To paraphrase you.. "it's only me" again. How I wish I could hear those words once more. It has been exactly one week since you passed away. It seems like a lifetime.
Today will be the toughest. We talked about it often and I always said "there is a day and time for all of us". Yours came too soon. But instead of mourning your death today, I feel we need to celebrate your life.
You were the strength and security in our life. As a little girl, I felt "all was right in the world" when you were there. You would take care of everything. You always laid on the floor to watch tv and we would climb all over you. You were the one who taught me not to be ticklish on my feet. How I love foot massages today. You were always playful. I especially remember all the swimming we did and you throwing us into the pool. We squealed with delight, asking for more. I remember when you would flash me a glance of disapproval, I would cry, knowing I disappointed you in some way. But it wouldn't last long. I always knew you loved me.
I won't forget you walking me down the aisle, on my wedding day. As the wedding march began and you knew the tears were going to flow, you looked at me and said "Smile!". Just looking at your face made me laugh and I didn't cry. At my reception, you danced with me and that DID make me cry, because I knew you didn't dance. You were always there for me.
I remember you being the mailman on Howard Rd. when we lived there. How cool it was having you in for coffee everyday. I remember you handing me all those checks from Ford, asking if I were expecting a "windfall" and how my hands shook as you took delight in counting out the envelopes one by one. The memories go on and on.
Your talent with woodworking was a gift from God. All you needed was the vision and it would become reality. My creativity comes from you, as do my blue eyes and o- negative blood. I thank you for all you have given me.
We really became close the past few years. I chatted with you on the phone almost on a daily basis. How I wish I could talk with you one more time.
The last time you came over, while I was showing Mom something, you took a walk outside. As I was talking to her, I glanced out the door and seen you sitting on the picnic table, watching the horses and looking around. How I wish I would have taken the time to sit with you. I wonder if you knew it would be the last time you would see it all.
I stayed by your side in the hospital not only for your sake but for mine. I needed to be there for you, just as you were always there for me. I hope you knew you were not alone.
As difficult as today will be, I take comfort in knowing that you will finally be coming home. Although I know you are alive in paradise, I will miss you everyday, for the rest of my life.
I do not know what to say, words can not describe how I feel about you.I am so glad Garrett and Daylon were able to spend time with you papa, you always made them laugh with something you would say or do they both love you very much. The times at the cottage we had will be some of the most precious memmories of my life and holidays just wont be the same without you. I love you so much and will always cherish the time we had together. We know right now You are in heaven sitting in your spot on the couch with your remote watching over us on your big screen tv waiting for us to join you until then are hearts will ache.
Holidays,the cottage, Birthdays, or just that random visit to your house or ours, was always a great time. It wasn't until I became older that I really knew who my grandfather was. You were a humorous man, our relationship was one that I will cherrish for the rest of my life. I couldn't have asked for a better set of grandparents.
While your watching from where you are, you can count on US to keep good care of grammy, because we know you will keep good care of US.
I love you with all my heart, And we will meet again, for a laugh.
I cant say enough about your life and how you touched me personally. I remember the day I married Sue, you and I had a heart to heart talk and you welcomed me into your family officially. You have always been there for Sue and myself and the kids. I remember your laugh, smile, and your stories about the service. They were so funny. Your growing up in Lackawanna, stories of Gram and Pop. I will never forget you, and you will always be in my thoughts. Thank you for being the best father-in law anyone could ever want. I know you are sitting right next to Gram and Pop right now working on some woodworking project. And Grammy has nothing to worry about we will all be there for her. I miss you and love you dearly.
Our thoughts and love are with you. We are going to miss Zoobee1 so much. Art kept us informed via E-mail. I love the picture he downloaded of Art Linda and Patty. I will treasure it always.
Jazz concerts, Wind Ensemble concerts, graduation, wedding, my first child. All these and more are milestone events that I would have done anything to see you be a part of. It's hard to put into words how your passing away has made me feel. Part of me is regretful: guilty of the times I hung up the phone too fast or was sleeping when you left my house. I would have done anything just to say goodbye to you one more time. But another part of me is happy: happy because you heard me say goodbye. Happy because your suffering has ended. Happy because now I know you'll be at every one of those events in my life, when before physical boundaries held you back.
I'll never forget you spitting your teeth at me, Grampy, or how you would make me glow when you'd whisper to my mom about how hilarious I'd be. Or, how we used to punch and pick on each other all the time.
I love you, Grampy. I think about you every day and I always will.
"Everything'll be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end."
My family and I extend our deepest condolences to your family for your lose.
We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle Bud. In reading the obituary, I'm amazed at how the Zubler family has grown over the years. In reading the entries in this guest book, I too fondly remember Uncle Bud's great laugh and love of life. I also remember how he'd love to get Grammie all fired up when we would all be up at the cottage putting the dock in or out for the season.
Perhaps Uncle Bud is in a better place now, not having to deal with the pain and disability anymore of the illness the plagued him later in life. Perhaps seeing Grammie, Pop, and my dad . . .hopefully not having to share a room and fight about how the room is organized!!
Our love to you all and deepest sympathies.
We were so deeply saddened to hear about the loss of your Dad. Our heart is aching for all of you. Know that God holds you in his arms very close and your Dad will always be with you in your heart & spirit. Our love and prayers always.
So sorry to hear about your Dad. May you find comfort in these times through your family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
My prayers are for God to take care of you through this sad time and ease the pain for all of you. Think of all the great company he is with now and that he is always with you and watching over you.
To Art's Family, I am very sorry for your loss. Art was a good man, I worked with him at the USPS.
Every summer, I would stand at the end of the driveway, gazing up and down the street in hopes that I would see the white mailtruck. Pure excitement would come over me as I heard the tone of your whistle as the mailtruck slowly approached. That smile accompanied with your laughter were the little things that I looked forward to most.
Who can forget the long rides home in that old van, with you laughing in the front while gramma and I played in the back. The "Last Boat Ride" was the most famous ride of all.....you never laughed so hard as I screamed in fear that the boat would tip over. How you could get so much enjoyment out of my screams I will never know.
The love that we shared was comforting, and as we became older, our adventures turned into hugs...hugs that will last a lifetime, hugs that I will never let go..These are the memories you gave me that made me who I am, and they are memories that I will never forget.
I am proud of you grandpa, proud of everything you have accomplished, and I am thankful that I have had such a wonderful person in my life.
Dear Debbie, Charlie and family, Sorry to hear about your father. My God's perpetual light shine upon him. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.
There was a time I remember, when you took flying lessons in a glider. I have never recalled seeing you so exuberant and alive. You were so proud of your accomplishment and glistened with delight when relating stories of your glider flights. You wore that pride with your soaring club jacket wherever you went. You were both scared and anxious when the time came for your solo flight. Nothing but nothing was going to talk you out of it. I told you: "You're nuts."
You did fly solo once. You started with unknown anticipations. Then, your heart was tickled as you glided through the heavens and gazed upon the view before you with a childlike vision. You were immersed in its beauty and in its tranquility. You were in awe of its boundlessness and of its majesty.
Now, at this time, I truly believe that you are in awe once again. Gliding and soaring effortless once again. Through the same beauty and majesty as before, but this time, you are not alone….
My Grampy was a wonderful man. I will never forget all the fun times and laughter. He lived a full life and did so many things. I am so proud that he was my grandfather. I love you Grampy!
I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts, but I'm glad that he was yours for such a nice long time.
Deb and Sue, Jay and I are truely sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your Family.


Many thanks to Ben Whitehouse for introducing me to two great examples of people using Google Street View for a virtual trip down Memory Lane.
The above film sees Dean Shareski ('inspired by Doug Peterson, who was inpsired by ZeFrank that then inspired Stephen Downes and others'), using Google Street View to virtually return to his childhood home of Morden, Manitoba. The landmarks quickly invoke old memories for David, who uses Google Maps Satellite View, Street View and old photographs to simply tell his tales of hockey playing, piano lessons, sunburn and exploration.
Think of a walk that you would regularly take as a child; to a bus stop, to a friend's house, along a paper route, along a trail through the woods.
Locate the beginning of that walk in Google Street View and move along the same route that you used to take. If your walk is not available on Google Street View, just try to imagine yourself going on that walk.
From time to time stop and look around you and try to focus on what it feels like to take that walk. If a memory of that moment comes to mind, write it down. Take a screenshot of that picture.
The results are beautiful screenshots of mundane-looking places of personal importance to people, whose snippets of memories are quoted. They tell us snapshot stories that are funny, sad and poignant. Take the time to click through the slideshow if you can.
For a hyperlocal site, this method of returning to a place and telling the stories of the memories it holds has great potential. Some local websites, such as the Kington Blackboard, find that people who have moved away visit the site to check-in on their old hometown and catch up on the local goings-on. Stuart Herbert in South Wales told me that most of the people who have engaged with his Merthyr Road Project are people who grew up in that area but resettled elsewhere.
Having those ex-residents revisit the community and tell stories of their memories in this way could help them actively participate rather than merely watch from afar, and result in some lovely creative content for your hyperlocal website.
as a child i had a long commute to school – about 18 miles. we got the school bus every day for eight years, even on a saturday (there was teaching and games on saturday). i spent many many hours standing at the bus stop on the corner of woodland avenue and the wellingborough road – it still looks the same but there is more planting of the roundabout in front. very odd to see this again.


Raggedy Ann "Sweet Dove": "This 2,400 piece, special edition doll features a pink and brown, truffle-inspired polka dot cotton dress with detailed, embroidered apron. She's sprinkled with satins, ribbons and 'love doves' embroidery, and the hangtag and sewn label are individually numbered for authentication. Each RAGGEDY ANN doll features the traditional "I Love You" heart embroidered on her chest (16"; SRP: $27). I love Raggedy Ann and Andy- I still have mine from when I was a little kid. There is something so sweet and loving about them, and they are filled with nostalgia. Rag dolls have always been popular toys, and Raggedy Ann and Andy have been around for a long while, with books and even a cartoon and Broadway show about them as well. They are even in the Toy Hall of Fame. Raggedy Ann is one of my all time favorite toys, she is sweet, cuddly, inspires play and nurturing, and has stood the test of time. I love these new holiday themed designs.
Sad Sam & Honey®: This classic property stars two endearing basset hounds with sweet, innocent looks and sad eyes. They come with three messages to choose from: "I Love You," "Puppy Love" and "Be Mine" (8.5", SRP: $14). "Messages are embroidered on the sparkled, velvet hearts," says Kessler. The line expansion also includes large "Blushing" variations; paws rest on their blushing cheeks that, when squeezed, light up and make a 'smooch' sound. Kessler says, "An oversized feature tag doubles as a gift card" (14", SRP: $23). These classic toys are molded after a baby's large eyes and expressions, giving them their well known sweet look. These toys have been around for a while, and are making a comeback with their new line. I'm happy to see them again, I remember them from when I was a kid. They are so cute, that of course they are still adored by adults and kids everywhere. This is a perfect gift for your spouse or your kid. A gift that is great for anyone is hard to find, but so much of Aurora can do just that- please almost anyone.
Oh, how adorable all these toys. My favorite is the Raggedy Ann and sure love those adorable eyes on the toys (big and so cute) love, love them :). Thanks for sharing.
My son absolutely loves elephants not sure on the pink though. Your little guy really is growing and really loves his elephant. Auroras really has some great valentine gifts but this is the first time that I heard of this company so thanks so much for sharing!
that pink elephant look sso soft.
think the little guy will miss it?
There's just something so sweet about a stuffed animal! Especially love the pink elephant.
