Dr. Wiersma began her nursing career in 1987 as a 2nd Lieutenant in the United States Army. She worked in many capacities during her 10 years in the army but found pediatric nursing to be her clinical passion. After the army, she continued to work in pediatrics and in 2001 began working in nursing education at an ADN program teaching pediatrics. She has since worked as a nurse educator at several schools and has been with the GW School of Nursing since 2010 and found her new passion: nursing education.
Her work focuses on understanding the role of clinical education and its impact on the new graduate nurse. She is particularly interested in how changing and adapting teaching modalities in the classroom and clinical settings might better align the new graduate nurse to successfully transition into the role of professional nurse.
An area of particular focus is to assist veterans in succeeding in nursing school and as a professional nurse.


Over 50 per cent of Americans do not get the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Can it be any wonder that health care costs grow every year when there are so many of us who fail to do the minimum to keep ourselves healthy?
Ask yourself – "Am I making an effort or making excuses?" Some 14 per cent of visitors to a recent American Heart Association (AHA) survey said that they did not like exercising.
I thought I would pass them on. They quote Mercedes Carnethon, Ph.D., associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine as the source.
If you are social, do something that engages you, a group exercise class, kickball team or walk with a group of friends. If solo is more your style, walking or jogging might be a better fit. Regular readers know I have found bike riding as my answer.
One last example that springs to my mind is dancing. Because I love music, I always think of dancing as a super way to get a body moving. You can take a class, or just put on some music and do it at home. You will still get the same benefit from moving.
This is a great idea. I look forward to my rides and consider them a priority in my day.
"The key is building activity into your lifestyle so it is not disruptive," Dr. Carnethon said. If you aren't near a gym, it may be harder to become a habit for you. There are lots of ways to fit exercise into your life without a large financial commitment. Borrow exercise videos from the library, or record an exercise program off TV. I know that YouTube has an amazing amount of videos available right on your computer on every subject imaginable, including any kind of exercise you could want. She suggests walking as a great option. All you need is a good pair of shoes. I second that in spades. Check out my Page – Why You Should Walk More for more info on the many benefits of walking. Don't forget, walking is weight bearing exercise, so it is good for your bones, too.
It is all right to break up physical activity into smaller segments. The AHA recommends 30 minutes a day of exercise most days, but if that sounds overwhelming, try three 10-minute workout sessions.
Walk to work, or walk a block or two to the train/bus to work. Climb a few flights of stairs instead of taking the elevator all the way up. Going shopping, park farther from the store and walk to and from it. There are lots of ways you can build in walking into your life.
A good example of this is my recent trip when I couldn't ride my bike for five days. I wrote Good Eating Habits Die Hard in Las Vegas.
It's a cliche to say, "Where there's a will, there's a way," but it's true, your good health is up to you.


I love beets! I never seem to have enough out of my garden. They are easy to grow and don't take a lot of space. They grow really fast. Which means you can grow several harvests in one season. The entire plant is edible. You can pickle, oven roast, grate and sauté, or mash them. And that's just what you can do with the roots, the tops have even more uses. They don't have a lot of diseases or insect pests. They're rich in iron and folic acid. The tops are a great source of vitamins A and C. There are three main types, or I should say, shapes ...Globes, Cylinders and Tops. They all take about 50 to 60 days to maturity and are hardy to moderate frosts. Globes-some of the sweetest varieties are found in this group. They have done some crossing with standard red beets and the larger sugar beets (those that are grown commercially and processed into sugar) to produce some really good varieties. There are deep red, white, gold and even some with red and white rings. The Cylinders are just a old fashioned kind of beet, apparently all beets used to look this way or top shaped (round on top and pointed on the bottom) before all the geneticists got involved. Cylinders are some of most tender and less fibrous of the bunch, plus the slices tend to be all the same size, which looks really pretty when you go to can them. Some of these can reach 6-8 inches long. The old fashioned Tops are the best for winter storage, as they don't get tough and woody. They would be stored the same way as carrots. They can also be left in the garden if your weather permits. Some varieties of the Tops will get huge, 3 inches or more, plus you can take some of the tops to eat while you're waiting for the roots to mature. Beets prefer cool soil and air temperature, but will put up with a widerange of growing conditions. They like a well drained soil, a neutral pH, and a steady supply of water. Most root crops like a loose loamy soil, so dig in lots of compost and peat moss. If you have problems with root crops like beets, potatoes and carrots, you may need to add some trace minerals like potassium, magnesium, rock phosphate, iron and zinc.
Sow your seeds out in the garden as soon as the ground has warmed to at least 40 degrees. I plant mine the same time as my peas. Soak the seeds for an hour or so to increase germination. Those funny little beet seeds that look like Grape Nuts, are really a cluster of several seeds clumped together. So you may get 3-4 sprouts per seed cluster. Thinning is vital. Plant them 1/2 inch deep and thin to 3 inches apart. Mulch them to keep the soil temperature even , and give them about 1 inch of water per week. The key to successful beet harvest is rapid growth caused by a good supply of water. Rapidly grown beets will taste better than those that have been allowed to linger for want of water during the growing period. If you have lots of organic material in the soil you don't need to fertilize them. Beets seem to taste the best when they're about silver dollar size.
Oh by the way, beets make a wonderful natural dye (some thing to keep in mind if you have children who like to color eggs for Easter). Just save the water you have cooked the beets in.
A good source of leafy green material for your compost is the local florist. You might ask them to toss their leftovers in a box for you to pick up once a week.
Most catalogs and seed packets indicate the "days to maturity". To be able to use this essential number , you need to determine whether the number of days indicated refers to seed that you will sow directly in the garden like lettuce, spinach, corn, etc.. Rather than a the number of days it will take a six week old transplant to mature. Crops like peppers, and tomatoes are generally started inside and then transplanted out to the garden. These vegetables will take a week or so to sprout, and then another six weeks to grow and then you start counting that magical "days to maturity". But whether you start your seeds indoors or out, the "days to maturity" thing is generally a loose guideline. Your mileage may vary depending on many factors unique to your region.
Its probably pretty obvious that on some plants like lettuce, beans, peas and beets you can just collect the seeds and keep them dry for next years planting. But if the seeds are wet to begin with, how do you store them? Normally the seeds from fleshy fruits would fall to the ground and rot slowly. Some of the seeds would settle into the ground and sprout next year. So you have to take some extra steps to prevent the spoilage.
Peppers seeds can be spread out on a plate and allowed to dry. Don't use paper towels or the seeds will glue themselves down. Tomatoes have that jelly stuff that has to be fermented away. Just put the seeds in some water and let it rot for 3 days. It's gonna get stinky so put it away somewhere. When it gets moldy on top add some more water and stir. The seeds will settle to the bottom and you can pour the mold off. Continue to rinse until you have nice clean seeds. Strain and dry the seeds on a plate. I have to stir the seeds while they are drying so they get evenly dry and don't stick together. Peppers, watermelon, winter squash,and tomato seeds should be harvested when ripe. But cucumbers, eggplant and summer squash needs to ripen past the eating stage.
Put crumbled up egg shells around tender plants to stop slugs, the shells will cut their tender bodies and they'll die. Use toothpaste to remove slug slime.
Before sunflower seeds can be harvested the flower heads must be allowed to mature completely on the plant. When the stem near the base of the flower turns yellow, cut the flower head and hang in a well-ventilated area. Seeds will separate easily when the flowers are sufficiently dry. I have trouble with birds raiding my flower heads before I can harvest them. So I tie netting around them, use the kind you get from fabric stores. It's very inexpensive but allows good air circulation.
Daylillies are edible! Buds and blossoms can be sautéed in butter and eaten alone or added to zucchini and tomato dishes. They can be dried for later use in soups and stews.
Take 3-4 ounces of chopped garlic and soak in 2 tablespoons of mineral oil for one day. Add a pint of water in which 1 teaspoon of fish emulsion has been dissolved. Stir well and strain the liquid. Store in a glass jar. Dilute this 1 part garlic/fish stuff to 20 parts of water and spray on your worst buggies. I have also heard it will help against rabbits.
Plant borage in with tomatoes to deter tomato worms. If interplanted with squash it will attract honeybees to improve pollination.
"There are two seasonal diversions that can ease the bite of any winter. One is the January thaw, the other is the seed catalogs."

Georgia Supreme Court Reinstates 6-Week Abortion Ban, Putting Earlier Order on Hold
by admin | Nov 25, 2022 | Top Ten

The Georgia Supreme Court on Nov. 23 reinstated the state's ban on abortions after six weeks into a pregnancy. The move temporarily ends access to later abortions ruled by a state judge a week ago.
In a single-page ruling (pdf) issued Wednesday, the court overturned a lower court's recent decision to block the Georgia law. The Supreme Court's order giving a stay in the case means the law is reinstated while the court considers an appeal on the merits from Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican.
"The state of Georgia's emergency petition […] seeking a stay of the order of the superior court of Fulton county in the above-styled action is hereby granted," the order said. "To the extent the state also seeks an 'administrative stay,' that motion is dismissed as moot."
The court didn't address the reason for granting the state's request.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney declared on Nov. 15 the state's ban on abortions was unlawful at the time it was enacted—when the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision was still in place and concluded abortion was protected under the Constitution.
The Georgia House Bill 481, known as the LIFE Act, was signed into law by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp in 2019, and had been blocked for three years until the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe and a similar ruling this June, allowing states to decide on abortion by themselves.
The state's ban prohibits most abortions once a "detectable human heartbeat" is present.
Cardiac activity can be detected by ultrasound in cells within an embryo that will eventually become the heart around six weeks into a pregnancy. That means most abortions in Georgia are effectively banned at a point before many people know they are pregnant.
McBurney ordered authorities last week to stop enforcing the statewide measure. In his ruling, the judge said the timing made the law immediately invalid, and to enact the law, the state legislature would have to pass it again.
Georgia attorney general's office in a filing with the state Supreme Court blasted McBurney's reasoning as having "no basis in law, precedent, or common sense," and appealed to ask the Georgia Supreme Court to put the decision on hold while the appeal moved forward.

Plaintiffs' attorneys defended it in a reply and warned of "irreparable harm" to women if it were put on hold. They also asked the high court for 24 hours' notice before issuing any stay to "avoid the potential chaos" from resuming the ban while women waited for an abortion or were in the middle of getting one.
The state Supreme Court did not conduct a hearing before issuing its order, and plaintiffs' attorneys said it denied their request for 24 hours notice.
The high court's order said seven of the nine justices agreed with the decision. It said one was disqualified and another did not participate.
Alice Wang, an attorney with the Center for Reproductive Rights, which also represents plaintiffs in the case, said the latest court order is "outrageous," adding that "This legal ping pong is causing chaos for medical providers trying to do their jobs and for patients who are now left frantically searching for the abortion services they need."
Some abortion providers had said that although abortions past six weeks were once resumed, they were proceeding cautiously over concerns the ban could be quickly reinstated.
Georgia is currently heading towards a Dec. 6 Senate runoff, between pro-abortion incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) and his pro-life GOP challenger, Herschel Walker. Many deemed abortion rights a boost that helped Democrats deliver better-than-expected performances in the November midterm elections.
Official data cited by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution show 34,988 abortions have been performed in 2021 on Georgia residents, meaning on average one in every 100 females between the ages of 10 and 55 undertook abortion.
Currently, a dozen states, including Georgia, have either fully or partially outlawed abortion in the wake of the Roe abolition, yet half of the states temporarily halted the bans in subsequent court rulings.

Unemployed men turn to online marketplace to find manual labor jobs
October 6, 2014 by Brendan O'Brien 2 Comments
Yard work is just one example of manual labor services advertised on Craigslist. (Photo by Kenya Evans)
This is part of an ongoing series of articles that put a face on the poor in Milwaukee, 50 years after President Lyndon Johnson declared a "war on poverty."
Chris Nelsen was broke, but not broken.
With his six children and wife eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches while huddled in a single motel room on the city's South Side, he set out to make some money.
Twenty dollars, to be exact. His job: to shovel dog poop from a woman's yard.
The dog owner found Nelsen on Craigslist, where he placed online advertisements, pleading with readers to hire him for any type of manual labor so he could feed his family and to pay the $250 for a week's stay at the motel.
"I'm not the one that is important in this picture. It's them I am concerned about. It's them that I have to take care of," said Nelsen, referring to his family.
Craigslist ads offering labor, Oct. 5, 2014.
For years, Craigslist has been a popular online marketplace for sellers and buyers of every item under the sun. It also has become a virtual employment center for several Milwaukee men struggling to find steady work.
Unable to make it on $7.25 an hour at a temporary job with a local paper plate and napkin manufacturer, Milwaukeean Chris Baras, 25, also turned to placing a few advertisements on Craigslist. His specialty is picking up garbage, hauling away old appliances and demolition work.
"People usually call if I set a fair price, because there are a lot of guys out there that are charging everything that you have to get rid of almost nothing," said the father of one child.
Baras' income generated through jobs on Craigslist fluctuates depending on demand. He estimated that he makes about $250 a week. On a good week, he can earn $400.
"It can be difficult. I have to sometimes make the choice between gas to get to work and … food for my daughter," he said. "It's not always easy."
It has never been financially easy for Nelsen, a Milwaukee native. He was the only child of his poor single mother who relied on welfare and food stamps to feed and shelter him. "I came home one day from high school and she was gone," he said. "There was a note on the door from my mother that said, 'Moving out of the state. Have a nice life.'"
Nelsen dropped out of school and lived on the street, sleeping in boxcars, on the roof of a school on Grange Avenue and, on occasion, at homeless shelters. He eventually finished high school through Job Corps, where he took carpentry classes for a year, got married and started having kids.
A self-proclaimed survivor, Nelsen learned how to paint and tile, and made enough to support his family through small manual labor jobs until recently, when work dried up and two employers stiffed him. "I had nothing," he said. "We wound up homeless."
Michael Broghn, 30, a high school graduate who studied criminal justice at Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC) for a while, was working a good-paying job as a forklift operator until he was laid off a few years ago.
Broghn toiled in low-paying fast-food and telemarketing jobs before turning two years ago to Craigslist, where he placed a free advertisement for his manual labor services that included a few lines about how hard he works and his contact information.
Broghn typically starts his day at about 5 a.m., republishing his advertisement for services on the free site. He then waits for phone calls and emails from those needing any sort of manual labor. "It depends. It's crazy. You never know who's going to be on there and what's going on," he said.
He now focuses on helping unload large truck deliveries throughout the city, jobs that typically pay about $50 for two or three hours of work. Broghn said there is a steady stream of truck drivers who go on Craigslist to find help unloading their cargo and are willing to pay cash.
"I don't know why they don't have extra help. They must rely on Craigslist when they come driving in with all of this cargo and they don't even have a helper with them," he said. "Obviously, they know they will find someone."
Broghn, who refuses to take any type of government assistance, lives with his brother-in-law, who charges about $250 a month for rent and utilities. His monthly income depends on the amount of demand and the types of jobs he is willing to take. "I did a moving job for a person and (the home) was just filth with rats and rat shit," he said. "It was horrible."
Like Broghn, It's that whatever-it-takes attitude that drives Nelsen. "I'm not sitting around watching Oprah Winfrey and eating bonbons waiting for the next check to be handed to me," Nelsen said. "I'm not putting ads on Craigslist asking for money. Let me work. I'll work. I will do something for it."

About Brendan O'Brien
It is commendable for people like this that work hard and want to make an honest living instead of being out there begging for food. Craigslist is a great place to find work. Posting ads can be difficult sometimes because of the whole ghosting thing, but the folks at stopcraigslistghosting.net seemed to have figured out how to get around that as well. KUDOS to you the ones working hard to survive!!
Dean says
Hey, I don't begrudge someone who's down on their luck temporarily getting out there and making something happen, desperate times call for desperate measures and these people in this article may make for some compelling stories, BUT these guys are the exceptions, there's a LOT more people on craigslist who aren't in dire straits at all and who make decent incomes for YEARS and its ALL CASH!! If you don't know what that really means, then you're clueless, but those of us who PAY OUR TAXES are being royally screwed here by people who are far from dirt poor, these are people making decent incomes and reporting LITTLE OR NOTHING and trust me, many or most of them, unlike the one guy, take every last benefit they can get!! This includes a LOT of white people too, this isn't some subliminal slam on ANY minority group at all, from what I've seen first hand, this cuts equally across all racial and ethnic boundaries.
So, when you're looking at your next tax return, or the deductions taken every paycheck, struggling to pay that monster property tax bill (and renters pay property tax without a doubt, just not directly!) or whatever else, think about all the people on craigslist, living in the underground cash economy. Not only do they keep every cent they earn, they also qualify for ALL the bennies too! Food share, Rent Assistance, Badger Care, EITC, they get it all and the honest people pay for it all! Again, for every one of these real hard luck stories (if true) there's 5 more guys/girls driving a car as nice as yours and living in a nice place and not paying back spit!
On top of all that, anyone hiring someone from this guy shoveling poop to the many, many illegal contractors on craigslist or whatever else is NUTS!! Better check the fine print on your homeowners insurance because if someone gets hurt on your property and the insurance company finds out you hired some (illegal) cash worker or business, expect a battle getting them to cover it when you get sued for 100 grand!
Again, I don't hold anything against someone in hard times making an extraordinary effort to get by and sometimes that means bending or even breaking the rules, as long as its not morally wrong like theft. If you have yourself and kids to feed and no money right now and that means not paying any tax by working for cash, I don't hold it against you one bit BUT if like many others there this is your choice of lifestyle for years on end and you're collecting every bennie you can get on top of it, you're a THIEF and the rest of us honest people are all paying for your thievery! (and honestly, SIX kids don't come overnight, how did that happen if you can't afford to feed yourself? Birth control? Personal responsibility?)
DON'T BELIEVE ME??? THINK I'M MAKING THIS UP OR TAKING A KERNEL OF TRUTH AND MAKING A MOUNTAIN OF LIES OUT OF IT??? PUT UP YOUR OWN FREE ADS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!! Watch just how many people will be all excited, not just for shoveling some poop for a half hour but for a full time job and who will then instantly lose all interest as soon as you mention that you ONLY pay a normal payroll, which as is the law, is reported immediately to the state!! Its not just because they want to dodge the bit of tax that gets refunded to them and with EITC, more on top of it, its because then they won't qualify for the bennies or maybe there's that dumb thing about that silly garnishment that jerk judge ordered for all that child support they NEVER paid a cent on! I had an honest worker bring a relative in recently about getting a job who's supposedly a hard worker, been working for many years and I'd guess around 40. NO INTEREST AT ALL in job once I mentioned that I follow the law and report all new hires! Oh, had some child support but only 70 GRAND he never paid a cent on, been dodging it for a decade! Yeah, that's who's on craigslist too!

The DLSU Men's team is highly expected to sweep gold in all four of the jump events at the UAAP. Such is the dominant lineup of DLSU they are expected to win six of the eight jumping events up for grabs.
A resurge in junior the Pole Vault by the athletes of Mike Pelaez, a UAAP Record Holder in the High Jump and a rookie in the Long/Triple Jump from Bacolod make up The DLSU new power lineup in the jumps.
Arguably the sharpest rookie La Salle has recruited will be Adel Valdecenas of Green Hills a proud member of the Mike Pelaez Family (MPF name given to athletes coached by Mike Pelaez). Valdecenas is the Palarong Pambansa record holder and last year in Hong Kong improved his best leap to 4.30m (which is the #2 best jump of all time by a Junior Eduardo Lasquette having jumped 4.89m over 20 years ago). Coincidence that Valdecenas personal best is good enough to tie the UAAP Record of Jerome Margallo (Adamson University) set back in 2006.
Chasing Valdecenas for the minor medals will be defending champion Abdillah Landasan of FEU who after an absence and now reinstated back in the FEU team is unlikely to defend his title where he won in 4.00m. Valdecenas team mate and training partner JK Sugue who finished 2nd last year with a pb of 4.00m and actually defeated him at the National Open in 2010 and also EJ Valera of Ateneo (the younger brother of Zekky 'Boy' Valera the 2010 UAAP Champion) who also improved his best to 4.00m this year.
With the womens pole vault being ruled by Ateneo Mika Santos, then FEU Buenaventura and lately by the duo of Bettina Macalang and Jam Garcia Valenton. The colors of this event have shifted back to other teams. With Macalang opting out of the UAAP the stage is set for DLSU Jumper Alexandra Smith, not since over a decade has DLSU had a champion with the last notable ones being Jesber 'Jingle' Hualde and Ana Natad.
Smith another member of the illustrious MPF set a string of junior records in the womens pole vault eventually the drama reaching an end with her jumping 2.87m in Capiz. But however when the dust settled it was UP team mate and newcomer Kat Baron who had leapt a 2.90m leap 5 days later at the weekly relays to claim sole ownership of the National Junior Record. Perhaps a chance for UP to claim there first ever title in this event. The two continue there rivalry during the UAAP perhaps now the drive to see who can get to the 3 meter mark first.
One of the most impressive seens of the UAAP last year was the post game war dance of Andrew Wilson upon clearing a new UAAP Record of 2.03m. He shattered the existing 1.97m mark set by fellow La Sallian Isagani Bayson. Wilson first clearing 2.00m and then asking the bar raised to 2.03m. Wilson is a foreign student at DLSU and also a part time male model he is one of the top 3 high jumpers in the country with Lasangue and Capispan all three having jumped over 2m a feat never achieved in the Philippines before with 3 jumpers over 2m. Wilson may have it easy with the other two not part of the UAAP. 'The Bromance' is certain to win his event but can he jump 2.05m? and push his way further up the Philippine all time ranking list.
Another impressive recruit of DLSU is Gerald Layumas who comes courtesy of Bacolod coach RV Alvarez. Layumas whose first love is soccer also represents the school in that sport. Layumas who had a very close 1cm win at the Palarong Pambansa in the long jump in 6.86m also leapt 14.34m at the Palarong Pambansa. His winning jumps are easily better than last years when the Long Jump was won in 6.61m and under 14m.
Doloso of DLSU who also comes from the RV Alvarez stable, also had a very marginal win last year in the Triple Jump with an 11.86m to 11.85m win over UE Aleah Gatmaitan. Doloso who leapt a personal best of 12.23m to set the Palaro Record back in 2010, has not had any similar form until recently when she cleared 12.00m to win the Uni Games in Capiz last October. Challenging her will be Gatmaitan and UST Luville Dato-on who has a personal best of 11.89m (2008) , also strong for the minor medals will be UST recruit and palaro stand out Michelle Palmares who has a best leap of 11.70m.
UST Dato-on is one of the medals expected not to goto DLSU. With a personal best of 5.83m (2010) which puts her well ahead of her rivals. Could it be possible for the Dato roll to break the 6m barrier?
It was FEU Aprilen Laudencia and Charie Catahan of UP 1-2 finish last year at the UAAP that ended the reign of DLSU Phoebe Que as UAAP Champion. Catahan however who sports the better PB of 1.60m is expected to claim the title this year. Expected to collect a medal as well is heptathlete Avegail Dizon of FEU.

Continue reading after the jump to access my original DVD Review of "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Season One."
James Cameron's two Terminator films are masterpieces; they represent the apex of action films, sci-fi films, and general storytelling. Terminator 2's ending is definitive, and after seeing it, I couldn't imagine the story continuing. As such, I haven't seen the third film; James Cameron didn't have anything to do with it, and fans pretty much hate it. Fox's television series, however, seemed rather intriguing. I missed it when it first aired earlier this year, but that's what DVD is for. After hearing some really good things about the show, I went ahead and picked up the DVD set. Is it a quality DVD set? Is the show even worth watching? Both of these questions and more are answered in my review of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Season One.
In taking James Cameron's complex world and turning it into a TV series, creator Josh Friedman and his team had to overcome dozens upon dozens of hurdles; failing at even one of these hurdles would have killed the show. Before the series started, fans were not enthused about the idea of a TV series, simply based on the monumental amount of ways it could have gone wrong. First, the creators would have to recast every role, and with so many memorable performances in the Cameron films, it would be tough to the casting justice. Then the creators would have to come up with a story that could keep the show going week-by-week. They had to fit their plots completely within the Terminator universe. The show also has the dubious task of continuing the plot from T2, which was a fairly definitive conclusion, without disrespecting that film. Furthermore, they had to make Terminator work without Arnold Schwarzenegger. You would have to be crazy to attempt making a Terminator TV series.
Not only did the creators overcome each one of these hurdles with apparent ease, they gave themselves new, risky challenges each episode to keep the show fresh, and best these challenges as well. What we get is a show that is a perfect continuation of T2, but also something new and different. As a Terminator fan, I was in heaven. This show is as close to perfect as any TV series I've ever seen.
Much of the praise must go to the talented cast, led by Lena Headey as the titular heroine, Sarah Connor. Next to Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton's Sarah is the most memorable performance from the films, and the idea that anyone could replace her sounded ludicrous at first. But Headey hits it right on the mark; she takes the essential elements of Hamilton's performance, but really makes the character her own. The performance isn't an imitation of Hamilton; had she tried that, she would have failed. Instead, she makes it original while staying true to the character. Her Sarah is a little more laid back, a little less crazy, but still determined to stop Armageddon and protect her son at any cost. In short, the character still feels like Sarah Connor, which is the most important thing.
Thomas Dekker takes the role of John Connor, and does an excellent job. Throughout season one, many things happen that begin to shape John into the leader he will one day become. These events can be as obvious as infiltrating a base of villains, or subtle, like when he deals with a classmate's suicide. In the 9 episodes that comprise season 1, we get a very real, 3-dimensional view of the character that couldn't be achieved in the time-frame of the movies. By the end of the pilot, Dekker's John was already my favorite character, and the episodes that followed only cemented that.
And then there's Summer Glau as Cameron, the femme fatale Terminator sent to protect John. She's perfect in the role, and the character is extremely endearing; I say that for reasons other than the fact that I'm totally crushing on Summer Glau right now. The character essentially plays the same role as Schwarzenegger did in T2, but is also very different. Cameron has a harder time understanding humans, and obviously feels (if a robot can feel) alienated from everyone she hangs around with. Her attempts to act human are usually greeted coldly by everyone around her, and while we can never be sure of her true allegiance, she's a character we can root and care for.
Rounding out the main cast is Richard T. Jones, who is well-cast in the role of FBI agent James Ellison, a character who seems pointless early on, only to become more endearing and important as the show continues. The cast for Season one is small but powerful, and all of them are excellent.
But the element of the series that most impressed me was the plot. The 9 episodes in season 1 are only vaguely episodic, and plots continue from episode to episode. At first, the pilot felt like a well-done remake of T2. A terminator comes back to kill John. A terminator comes back to protect John. John and Sarah run. Despite the lack of originality, I was enthralled by the production values and the excellent cast, but in the back of my mind, I knew that the show wouldn't work if this was all they had.
Then, at the end of the first episode, Cameron takes John and Sarah 8 years into the future; Judgment Day was not prevented in T2, but delayed until 2011, so Cameron brings them back 4 before the end of the world to prevent it. This was certainly an interesting twist, and episode 2 really brought the series into its own. We find out that future John has sent back multiple resistance fighters, and that the war for the future is essentially being fought in 2007. T2 started out feeling very similar to the first film, but then becomes its own separate entity, just like The Sarah Connor Chronicles does.
John and Sarah are still trying to prevent Judgment day, like in T2, but it's a much more complex task this time. There are many, many people involved with the eventual creation of Skynet, and everything they do seems to create another problem they must fix. In this regard, the show is able to respect T2 while continuing the story in a logical and well done way. They couldn't have done a better job.
It's also amazing how well the show, which has none of the cast of crew of the films, fits itself into the Terminator universe. It doesn't change the history of the films to tell the story, but respects the history and builds on it. The best example of this is the episode Dungeons and Dragons, where the back story of new character Derek Reese was explained. At first, the idea of giving Kyle Reese (Sarah's protector from the first film, who fathered John) a brother seemed ludicrous, but this episode made it feel natural and inevitable. Through flashbacks (or flash-forwards, because they technically happen in the future), we learn Derek's back story. It revolves around events established in the films, and fits so completely into those events that it becomes very easy to accept Derek as a character.
In fact, Derek quickly became my second-favorite character on the show, next to John. Brian Austin Green did a great job, portraying a man who has lived his life in a post-apocalyptic hell and is finally getting to experience the world of his childhood again. This is an element that couldn't be explored in the first film with Kyle, but that a TV series has time to develop.
In fact, that's my favorite thing about this show. While a Terminator TV series seemed ludicrous at first, by the time I had finished the season, I realized it was the only logical way to continue the story. The TV format lets us spend more time with the characters, and allows us to get to know them better than a film could ever allow for. The show isn't better than the movies, but the fact that it often reaches the same heights of quality is nothing short of astounding. In fact, I think this is currently my second-favorite show on television, behind only Lost. I can't wait to see what the creators do with Season 2, when they will have a full 22 episodes to explore the universe.
Before TV shows were filmed in hi-definition, DVD TV sets were awesome for reasons other than just having all the episodes in one place; they were cool because the video quality was so much better than the TV broadcasts. Now, that's backwards; shows look better on TV because of hi-definition. As with most TV sets, I was resigning myself to experience that with this DVD set…and how surprised I was.
From the opening moments of the pilot, the video quality is amazing. Colors are vivid and accurate, while flesh tones are very realistic. The level of detail in the image is nothing short of astounding; you can see every bit of detail in the image at all times. For much of the time, the image looks hi-def. The TV hi-def broadcasts were probably even better, but if they were, it couldn't have been by much. My only quibble with the image is that some dark scenes in early episode have poor contrast, making them look grainier than they should. But this only happens a few times, and most dark scenes retain a level of detail that is unusual in standard definition. Simply put, this is the best image I've ever seen for a TV DVD.
The audio track isn't anything groundbreaking, but it is very good. Dialogue is always strong and easy to hear, even in loud firefights. Sound effects are crisp and realistic, and the excellent musical score is at a perfect volume throughout. It's a very good audio track that complements the image nicely.
So far, we've got a practically flawless show, presented with practically flawless A/V quality. For this set to continue being flawless, the extras section has to be really, really good. Is it? Judge for yourself as I sift through the hours of bonus material provided here.
First off, there's an Audio Commentary for the following episodes: Pilot (w/ Summer Glau, Creator/Writer Josh Friedman, Executive Producer James Middleton and Director David Nutter), The Turk (Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, Josh Friedman and Writer John Wirth) and What He Beheld (Summer Glau, Brian Austin Green, Josh Friedman, and Writer Ian Goldberg). The commentaries are pretty good, and everyone has plenty to say. There are some interesting tidbits; for instance, the script for the pilot, which involves a Terminator attacking John at school, was handed into the studio on the day of the Virginia Tech Massacre. All three commentaries get better as they go along, and if you listen to all three, you get input from most of the cast, as well as the writers and directors (who, as usual, have the most to say). Best of all, you get to listen to the sweet voice of Summer Glau on two of the three commentaries.
There are Terminated Scenes (what an awful pun) for the episodes Pilot, The Turk, Dungeons and Dragons, and The Demon Hand. I'm not the biggest fan of deleted scenes, and these did nothing to change my mind; they belong on the cutting room floor. But if deleted scenes are your cup of tea, then you'll be very happy. There's lots of them and they're presented in full anamorphic widescreen, with video quality matching that of the episodes.
Everything I've just listed is only the episode-specific stuff; there's plenty more. Disc One features three terrific featurettes, grouped under the title Creating the Chronicles. The first, Reboot (16:41), is a general overview of the production. It discuses the origins, the casting, the special effects, etc, and gives each category an ample amount of time. They pack a lot of valuable information into these 17 minutes. There's a lot of talking-head interview footage, but we also get a ton of on-set footage, which is awesome. TV sets don't usually show this much on-set footage, and it's great to see here. Next is Future War (10:23), which is essentially the making of the episode Dungeons and Dragons. This episode tells Derek's story, which happens in the future. The featurette discuses what a challenge it was to bring the huge level of effects to the small screen; budget concerns caused a re-write of most of the episode. They also talk about some of the complicated effects featured in other episodes.
The final featurette is The Demon Hand (11:54), which talks about the episode of the same name. This is obviously the staff's favorite episode (same here), and beyond talking about the making-of, they also provide analysis of the episode. It's great. All three featurettes are essential viewing. The final feature on Disc 1 is the Gag Reel (3:35); like most gag reels, it's not very funny, except for a few moments where Summer Glau breaks character. I would call this gag reel disposable, but then again, anything with Summer Glau in it is essential viewing.
Disc 2 has 3 Cast Audition Tapes, for Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, and Richard T. Jones. These might have been cool…if you could tell what the heck was going on. They're all presented non-anamorphic, and look like they were shot with really bad hand-cams (my digital camera looks better than this). You can't really hear what's going on, which renders these somewhat pointless. The best is the Jones audition, mostly because the quality isn't so poor.
After this is the Summer Glau Dance Rehearsal (1:40). It's just Summer Glau doing ballet (presumably for The Demon Hand, where Cameron takes ballet), set to music from the show, and I'm not sure why it's on here, though I'm not complaining. I would assume that the DVD producers are as in love with Glau as I am; that being said, it might be the best feature in the entire set… Rounding out Disc 2 is the Storyboard Anamatic (2:23), which is the storyboard version of the scene where Croamartie tries to kill John at school in the pilot. This is kind of interesting from a technical standpoint, but ultimately disposable.
Disc 3 features a 52-Minute Extended Cut of The Demon Hand, and the words 'Extended Cut' couldn't be more deceiving. This is basically a rough production edit; there's no music, no sound effects, or anything other than the raw footage as originally shot. There is footage that was absent in the televised cut, but it's not anything extraordinary. This is interesting if you want to see the amount of work done in post production, but otherwise, it's deceiving and a missed opportunity.
So, do the extras strike you as extensive? The DVD producers threw in everything and the kitchen sink. Some of it is superfluous, but there's also a lot of good stuff here. This is a very strong extras section. As presentation goes, the discs all look good with a cool holographic effect, and an episode guide is included (nifty). If you buy the set at Best Buy, you get awesome steel book packaging, which looks spiffy and takes up as much shelf space as a regular DVD. Plus, it has Summer Glau on the front cover. Overall, the extras have everything you could possibly want, and the presentation is great.
The show is terrific, and I've rarely seen a show that found its footing so fast. These nine episodes are virtually flawless. The A/V presentation is near-perfect. And the extras are extensive, leaving no gaps. Yep, this is as close to a perfect TV-DVD set as one could ever hope for. I'll be back…for more when season two starts.

Review: Nightwing #23

I hate comic book ret-cons. Some are okay, when they add layers of motivation, character, details of a particular incident. But when they revise some element, or alter some detail simply because they have an attitude of, "Well, it was never like that." YES. It was. It was exactly like that, and I have the back issues to prove it.
Case in point, page 1 of the latest issue of Nightwing. It depicts a flashback of Batman and Robin duking it out with Blockbuster. The original Robin, Dick Grayson. The one who wore a bright yellow cape, short pants and green pixie boots.
Only here, he's dressed in Tim Drake's Robin costume; a costume he never wore. It's a minor detail perhaps, but to me, it a major slap in the face. "Thanks for supporting us for decades," says DC. "By the way, all that history you've invested in over the years? It means nothing."
Well, if it means nothing to you, why should it mean anything to us? All the easier to drop your titles like a bad habit and start perusing what Marvel and Dark Horse have to offer.
As for the issue of Nightwing itself, well, the words predictable and angst-ridden come to mind. It's long past time for Dick Grayson's relationship with a former minor super-vandal to come to an end. He gets played by someone he trusted. And the Bludhaven cops resent him almost as much as DC's general readership.
It's not a good time to be a DC fan. If this is how they treat one of their longest lasting characters, it makes me wish he had died in one of the many Crises.

Kong: Skull Island casts Fantastic Four star
Another excellent actor, with prior ape experience, leaps onto the boat for Kong: Skull Island
By Jonathan Hatfull	 21-08-15 5,586
While rumours swirl about John C Reilly and Samuel L Jackson stepping into the roles previously occupied by Michael Keaton and JK Simmons, Kong: Skull Island has gone ahead and cast another actor entirely.
THR reports that the excellent Toby Kebbell is the latest name to jump on board the Legendary monster movie directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts. The star of Fantastic Four and Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes will join Tom Hiddleston, Brie Larson and Corey Hawkins, making a very strong cast even stronger.
There aren't any details about Kebbell's role at the moment, but it's another big project for the actor, who's also appearing in Duncan Jones' Warcraft, Stephen Gaghan's Gold, Timur Bekmambetov's Ben-Hur and JA Bayona's A Monster Calls. We're very big fans of Kebbell's, and any Kebbell casting news is good news.
Kong: Skull Island will be released on 10 March 2017 in the UK. Keep up with the latest genre news with the new issue of SciFiNow.

ICT Refresh

Custody and courts EMR
JWPM Blog
ICT solution for Healthcare within Police and Courts
Working with a private healthcare provider and a metropolitan police force in the north west of England for a first of type Integrated Health and Liaison & Diversion Service.
Partnering with a NHS Commissioning Support Unit we successfully bid and won the tender issued by a private healthcare and large metropolitan police force in the north west of England for a first of type Integrated Health and Liaison & Diversion (L&D) Service. As part of this project we managed the design and roll out of a bespoke Electronic Medcial Record (EMR) system for the healthcare professionals.
The service itself aimed at reducing reoffending and diverting people away from the criminal justice pathways into viable treatment and support paths for various vulnerabilities and social needs which were often the cause of why they offended in the first place. This included Alcohol and Substance Misuse Services, Mental Health Services, Financial Support, Accommodation Support, Veterans Services etc.
Deploy IT hardware, Summary Care Records and SystmOne to the nine Police Custody Suites in the force region to allow the Healthcare Professionals access to shared contemporaneous medical records for the patients, record contacts and interventions.
Delivery of a suite of L&D assessments in the EMR allowing the L&D staff to record their assessments. The vulnerabilities and needs of the patients are regularly flagged up by the Healthcare Professionals who in turn refer the patients onto the L&D team.
Delivery of a solution whereby the Community Rehabilitation Company could follow up and support patients identified and referred by the L&D staff.
Deployment of the IT solution to all of the courts in force region giving the L&D staff access to the Police Custody medical records and providing them with the ability to generate reports for the court staff recommending whether or not the detainee should be diverted away from the criminal justice pathway.
To design and develop a medical record solution for an Integrated Health and L&D Service for the police force. The solution will be available to multiple agencies that will update the record contemporaneously. The system will be available to all custody suites and courts within the force area and also available to the Community Rehabilitation Company outside of the Criminal Justice System.
Listed below are the benefits gained from delivering this project.
Allowing all HCPs and L&D staff to have access to the NHS SCR at the initial point of healthcare assessments
Allowing all HCPs to have access to a shared electronic medical record system to make appropriate entries into patient's records using bespoke data entry templates
Improve clinical safety and wellbeing
Improve the ability to securely communicate with other organisations to provide an integrated service across Police Custody, Courts and into the community sector
Improved Health and Justice outcomes for people detained in Police Custody
As the project is still in progress we are still awaiting outcomes for the project. If the current project proves to be successful, it is envisaged that further Police Forces will look to take on the same model of delivering positive criminal justice outcomes through delivery of Healthcare throughout the UK.
Your new project starts here.

Worth the research and wait!
Spent many weekends traveling around the region, looking for this style Cadillac. So far it's an excellent find.
This vehicle is very comfortable and has a smooth ride. Many great features and easy to work with. Huge trunk for stuff. Love the room inside. Plenty of leg room.

Recently, I was at an awesome concert that featured three acts. The first act was an upcoming band out of New Orleans that provided the crowd with tons of energy. The second two acts were more established. One of the bands was out of Georgia and the other out of Nashville. One thing is for sure, the south can produce some fantastic music.
I am always fascinated by how quickly a stage crew can turn over the stage between acts; each member of the crew focuses on the breakdown his or her area and builds up the new stage for the next band. I am amazed that nothing ever fails for the next act. The guitars are all hooked up, the amplifiers all work, and the microphone never fails. If you have been to a concert, I am sure you have heard the famous, testing one two, testing one two. Although this always seems repetitive at a concert, especially if you are there to see all the acts, it is necessary for the next band that comes out. The band never has to worry about their tools not functioning correctly, because that's what the stage crew is for. If for some reason something sneaks through the cracks the stage crew is right there to support the band and correct the issue. When this happens the stage crew provides such great support that the fans never notice. The expectation from the band is that everything is working perfectly by the time they get on stage. All the band has to worry about is putting on a great show for the fans. The trust the band has in its stage crew is simply amazing. They expect perfection and that is what they receive.
I often wonder how many high ticket items I purchase are actually tested and have "immediate" support. Immediate can be defined in many different ways so for the interest of this blog let's say "immediate" means same day response. How many items do you think you purchase that are just given to you out of the box and not tested? Imagine this…you are having your garage door and motor replaced. The cost for this is $1,200. The company tells you that they want a 50% down payment to order the parts and then once installed, they require the remaining 50%. You agree to the deal expecting everything to work. The company shows up at your house at 7:30am, you let them inside your garage and off you go to work for the day. The company calls you at 10:00am and notifies you that the door has been installed and that they will be billing your credit card for the balance. You give them the okay to do so and you're relieved that the garage door has finally been fixed! You arrive home and you take a look at your beautiful new freshly painted garage door. You hit the button to open the door and it doesn't open. You go inside your house through the front door and try testing the garage door from the inside, but again you get nothing. The feeling of happiness you had two and half minutes ago turns into irritation and you immediately call the company who replaced the door. You get a message telling you that they are gone for the day and you have to call back tomorrow. You play phone tag for a while and two days later they finally come back to your house to identify the issue. The field worker apologizes and says that the installer forgot to connect two wires and test the garage door. The company tries billing you for one hour of maintenance work. You finally have a functioning garage door and a $75 bill on top of that for a maintenance call all because the installer did not test the door. One would think that it is common sense to test a product before the customer uses it but I guess that doesn't make the list of processes an installer has to follow anymore.
At Everest Customer Solutions we provide testing and support on every project we are involved in. We never complete a technology project and just hand it over to the customer. Instead we thoroughly test and make sure that the end product is ready for prime time. We are the stage crew for our customers. When support is needed we don't have a voice recording that tells you to call back. We immediately respond telling you that we are working on the issue. We are not robotic either, you will speak to a live person making you feel comfortable that we are truly working on the issue at hand. Our turnaround time is quick as well. When we say immediate we mean same day.
The technology industry is flooded with competition. One would think that testing would be part of the standard business process for a tech company. This is rarely the case. Often, we come across our competitors, who will complete a project, wipe their hands of it, and expect the customer to test and handle any issues. How would you feel if you invested $30,000 in a CRM project only to find out that it wasn't tested; and oh by the way if it doesn't work, it's another $7,000 to fix. This happens day in and day out to companies dealing with other tech firms; but again, at Everest you receive peace of mind knowing that your project will not only be completed in a timely fashion but it will be completed the right way meeting all of your expectations. If you have questions or need support, the last thing we want to do is nickel and dime you. Instead, we make you and your staff feel comfortable about your new change and help if needed.
Stage crews are taken for granted. People will say that they are just doing their job and it is expected for things to be perfect. The best bands and artists will tell you however, that they are where they are because of their stage crew. Their stage crew is what took them from good to great.


Many of the trees and shrubs I have planted have suffered significant breakage in the past due to the amount of snow/freeze/thaw that we experience in northern lower Michigan. This fall (November) I pruned some young chestnuts back to a central trunk to avoid snow damage. Now a colleague tells me this is the worst time of year to prune (I thought they were dormant).
When is the best time to prune to avoid winter breakage?
I have never heard of this practice. I would recommend removing all the leaves from the tree if it's young, but removing leaf area unnecessarily will starve the tree, eventually. If you do have breakage you can prune the broken branches in the spring, but pruning for snow doesn't sound like a good idea. You should never remove more than 33% of the leaf area in any 4 year period, from what I've been told.

I couldn't see the point of a 'TOTO' until having children myself. Someone did some serious thinking when they designed a public toilet at the airport with a 'TOTO' at hand.
Not my choice of hotel but it had its charm.
I don't know what other country you would expect the wine bottles to still be standing up if you left them outside, on a busy street from the central station.
Final meal in Japan turned out to be a curry. Overall, all the food we ate in Tokyo was really good.

Q: When to use helper methods and private methods in Rails? I have been hearing that the controller should be as concise as possible. So, I try to keep most of the processing work in the helper for the corresponding controller. But, I am little confused regarding whether I should instead use private controller methods or helper methods.
I am using helper methods only for processing and returning values. They have no other usage for now. They are not called from views.

A: That's a bad idea in general. Helper methods shouldn't be used except for specific convert-something-into-string stuff (basically, should be used only in views).
For anything else, you should use service objects or something similar, basically, PORO (plain old ruby objects)
In controllers you want to handle authentication and render the right thing, you don't want to deal with anything else otherwise they become too complex.
You might want to check these books to improve knowledge about this topic:

*

*Growing Rails applications which is a really good book on how to avoid putting code in wrong places and how to keep codebase maintenable on the long term

*POODR which is a Ruby guide on how to write good Object-Oriented code, it's a must for any developer and will help you understand why using an helper it's a bad idea

A: Usually, a Helper is called in a template or a view.
If you want to keep your controller DRY, use functions in your models or in services (read this good article about services by Ben Lewis)

Beer Albion 3, Clyst Valley 2: Beer looked a little rusty following their Christmas break and were very slow out of the blocks against their high-riding opponents, Clyst Valley.
The visitors began in a determined and aggressive manner, and took a deserved lead after sixteen minutes through Javier Martin.
The Albion were still rather lacklustre, but Matt Rowson equalised on the half-hour mark with an exquisite finish from a superbly threaded through ball from Ian Beavis.
The match then began to liven up and, although the Valley regained the lead after some rather sloppy defending, there was just time before the interval for Martyn Hancock to equalise with a stunning free kick.
With the wind at their backs, the hosts completely dominated the second half, and a long range free kick from inside their own half gave Martyn Hancock his second and Beer their winning goal.
Although this was rather fortuitous, it was no more than the Albion deserved in a match where defender Simon Smith was outstanding.


Although it's pretty obvious in nature, it's worthwhile reflecting upon every so often.
Just look at the apps and nomenclature of the past year; apps like Calm and Headspace dominating the charts. People becoming increasingly interested in 'mindfulness' and 'meditation'.
In an always on society, it seems like we're starting to build quite the appetite to shut off, and withdraw from the endless scrolling on Instagram. Looking at the colour graded / photoshopped images that define 'perfection'.
I do think 'inner peace' is achievable for each and every person. It's about finding solace and contentment.
Not having huge expectations. e.g. disappointment is when expectations != reality.
For me music, learning, trying my best, counting to ten, and reading help me move toward it.
Next PostWow, where did 2018 go!?

Go Train fuels Niagara housing boom
Developers and planners say current uptick is just the beginning as the commuter link to the GTA starts to pay dividends

Special to National Post
Adam Bisby
Niagara housing prices are rising faster than anywhere else in Canada, and the boom looks set to continue in lockstep with improved transportation links to the GTA.
Metrolinx kicked off the GO Train service to the area in January, and it's been well received by locals such as Dianne Franklin, a life-long resident of St. Catharines, who for nearly 10 years drove to downtown Toronto twice a week to manage special-events catering at a large hotel.
"I used to rack up 25,000 kilometres a year," she says, noting the train now allows her to rest or work during the commute. "There's no place like home, especially when you don't have to drive there during rush hour."
She's not the only one excited about the new service to Stoney Creek, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls, which comes with plans for more frequent trains and a new station in Grimsby. With Metrolinx estimating that Niagara's population of about 500,000 will more than double by 2041, developers and planning authorities have great expectations for the housing market on the peninsula that extends from Grimsby in the northwest to Fort Erie in the southeast.
Those expectations are being fulfilled sooner rather than later. Niagara is the fifth best place in Canada to purchase real estate, up seven spots from its 12th-place showing in 2018, according to a recent annual study by the MoneySense online business magazine. Home prices in the area average $395,500, with an 8 per cent return on investment after one year, the study says.
Soaring prices
Having jumped 47.13 per cent over the last three years, these prices are rising faster than anywhere else in Canada, the Canadian Real Estate Association reports. (Over the same period, GTA prices rose by 25.30 per cent.) New homes account for much of this growth, with the Niagara Region Planning and Economic Development Committee reporting that investment in building construction grew by 56 per cent from 2015 to 2018, compared to 19 per cent for Ontario as a whole.
While it's still too early to draw any direct statistical correlations between the Niagara GO Train service and real-estate, "other municipalities have been tracking growth in building permits and construction along LRT lines," says Diana Morreale, the Niagara Region's director of development approvals. "They have seen significant action along those lines, with a lot of speculation and land transactions."

When Niagara GO Train service was officially announced in 2018, there was an "immediate surge" in interest around the Rosseau Group's ambitious mixed-use expansion of the Casablanca Winery Inn in Grimsby, says Rino Mostacci, Niagara's commissioner of planning and development services.
"The developers were able to increase the pre-sales and financing available to them in order to proceed with some of the multi-storey development," Mostacci says. "It's also driving medium-density development with the investor market. People are buying units and renting them to commuters."
This interest is even helping to build Grimsby's new GO station — about 85 kilometres southeast of Toronto — which is slated to open in 2021 and is being partly funded by real-estate developers with assets in the area.
Anticipation of GO's arrival and expansion is also fuelling a housing boom in Niagara Falls, says Mayor Jim Diodati, who likens GO service to "an umbilical cord plugging into Toronto's energy."
On one hand, he says, "home ownership is much more affordable in Niagara than in the GTA." On the other, "giving people a reliable, predictable transit option makes commuting a viable option."
Diodati points to new projects such as Claret on St. Paul, a 106-unit midrise condo building overlooking the Eagle Valley Golf Course; Smart Townes 3, a 98-unit townhouse development by Pinewood Niagara Builders; and the 125-unit Panorama Suites tower.

Political leaders in Niagara's largest city are similarly bullish.
"These are exciting times," says St. Catharines Mayor Walter Sendzik. "With the QEW and GO Train linking us to the Toronto-Hamilton-GTA economy, the momentum is building. There are more cranes in the air every month."
In addition to large retirement and affordable-housing projects, those cranes are rising over several upscale condos. The six-storey, 37-suite 77 Yates building, for instance, is set in St. Catharine's picturesque Twelve Mile Creek valley, while developments such as the Harbour Club and Royal Port are bringing new life to the city's Port Dalhousie waterfront.
As alluring as affordable home ownership and convenient commuting may be, there's much more to Niagara living than that, says Niagara Falls Mayor Diodati.
"Most people move here for the outstanding quality of life, whether it's parks, trails, recreational areas, or our 130 wineries and 30 golf courses," Diodati says. "We've even been contacted by the mayor of Niagara Falls, New York, who's interested in seeing the GO Train come to town. I smell nothing but opportunities here for people looking to combine quality-of-life and affordable housing with job opportunities in the GTA."
