CryWolf® Users Conference 2012

One of the advantages of using the CryWolf® alarm billing software is the excellent customer service that they provide. This customer service is available on a daily basis through our rep. However, the company also extends that service with a  User's Conference held each year in conjunction with the FARA symposium.  This demonstrates their commitment to long term relationships with their customers. It also shows their commitment to FARA's mission also.
At this meeting, PSC often reveals exciting updates to CryWolf® and shares tips and tricks to make using the system easier. Today's conference was no exception and there are some exciting features already available with more coming soon.  I don't want to steal their thunder, but I was told that I could mention some things. (And just between you and me, it was exciting to have PSC mention my blog and say that they liked it),
One of the big changes coming this year is the new website that they will be revealing. Some of the features will be a knowledge base for CryWolf®, an on demand download section where units will be able to obtain the newest version of the software, and even a help section.
One of the most exciting features of the website for me is the online software training that they are developing.  They have named it CryWolf® University (CWU) and it truly looks awesome. As someone who came into a unit that was using CryWolf® already, I missed the on site training that occurs when the system is installed. CWU will be a remedy for that and will be a way for units to train new staff. It will also be a way to supplement the onsite training and go into greater detail on how to use the software.  Right now, there are 34 multi-media courses that will lead to a framable "diploma".
As exciting as CWU is, I am just as excited about the Sharing section that will be included on the website.  This section will be a place for units to share and upload forms, templates, or reports that others might find useful and can then download and use.

I want to thank Public Safety Corporation for hosting this event each year.  It is always a highlight and I encourage everyone to take advantage of this super perk.  And it truly is a perk since PSC does not charge their customers anything for this event.
Over the next few weeks, I will share some more things that were discussed at the meeting.  Hold onto your hats.  This year is going to be exciting!

In Memory of...

I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Washington DC during National Police Week .  While there, the Hubster ran the Police Week 5K and we visited the Law Enforcement Officers Memoria l.  The memorial is a sobering reminder that so many have given all in the pursuit of public safety.  Unfortunately, it was raining so the pictures aren't great, but the rain seemed fitting--almost as if angels were mourning with those gathered there.  The memorial itself is surrounded by a beautiful park setting with trees and seasonal flowers and is composed of two curved marble walls engraved with the names of the more than 19,000 officers who have died. Each of the memorial walls is flanked by a lion protecting its cubs and keeping silent vigil. Seal embedded in center of the memorial plaza It seems that every day a new name is added to the list that will be inscribed just before Police Week begins.  The park and memorial are beautiful and worth a stop if ...

Ferret Friday #5-Rice box

Ferrets are curious creatures that need a variety of toys and activities.    Our ferret loves to dig, and one of his favorite activities is digging in a plastic tub filled with rice.  We make sure it is not available at all times so that it remains a special treat. As much as he loves the rice, if given a choice, he would choose to dig in the dirt of my ficus or citrus tree.  He also loves to "tunnel" under the covers of our bed.  He is not normally a biter, but for some reason, he will bite any toes under sheets.  My theory is that since ferrets are tunnelers and are carnivorous, then he must have some instinct to eat what he finds while tunneling.  Maybe the toes are "earthworms" to him. When my kids were small, they also loved to play in their rice box.  Their rice was multi-colored though. We have added a few PVC pipes (we smoothed all rough edges with sandpaper).  Occasionally, we add some cardboard mailing tubes as well.

Queen of the Dairy

Did you know that the Dairy Queen Blizzard turned 25 last year?  I remember when the Blizzard was introduced which makes me officially...old.  Anyway, there was no Dairy Queen in the town where I grew up but there was one where my great grandfather lived.  Do you remember when a trip longer than 15 minutes lasted fuh evah?  When I was little, the 65 minute drive to my great grandfather's small town felt like an eternity.  Maybe it felt so long  because  I was hoping for that extremely rare occurrence of a stop at the Dairy Queen.  My parents were teachers  and the budget was always tight, but occasionally we would stop at DQ and we could get a small cone.  We never got to choose--it was always just that small vanilla cone, but it was a treat nonetheless. Once I was able to drive and had a job, those stops at DQ were almost mandatory when I ventured on my own to my grandparents house.  I probably tried something different each time-...
