"It changed my entire teaching perspective," she said. "I've been rewriting lessons since I got back."
Morgan, who lives in Saranac Lake, was one of just a handful of people, some teachers, some students and researchers, who spent July 25 to Aug. 2 in the Canadian Arctic (north of Hudson Bay and north of even Baffin Bay) on Axel Heiberg island at the McGill Arctic Research Station (MARS) as part of NASA's Spaceward Bound program. The group studied different elements of the polar desert, like perennial streams, liquid water, glaciers and segregated ice. So, what exactly does the arctic have to do with space?
"It's the closest environment on earth we have to Mars," Morgan said. "It's cold, it's dry, it has the same elements."
Morgan explained that scientists think that the presence of segregated ice (ice that is formed by repeat cycles of freezing and thawing) and water that can remain a liquid even when temperatures fall below freezing due to a very high salt concentration on Axel Heiberg means there's a chance these conditions also exist or once existed on Mars.
"Whenever you find liquid water, you find living organisms," she said.
According to its Web site, the mission of Spaceward Bound is to train the next generation of space explorers by having students and teachers participate in the exploration of scientifically interesting but remote and extreme environments on Earth as analogs for human exploration of the moon and Mars.
Astronauts who will be exploring the moon and Mars in 2020 and beyond are now in middle school. That's why, NASA says, getting students interested in astrobiology and geology now is important.
Morgan said life at the research station was fun and that the experience was, for her, as much about sharing cultures with the Inuit teachers as it was about science. She said although the Northwest Territory is very isolated, they enjoyed most of the same amenities we can expect here. A sun that never set, providing 24 hours of daylight, allowed the group to go for midnight hikes.
"It was in the 40s or 50s every day, like spring or fall here," she said. "It was great though. Because the sun was up 24 hours a day, it never got cold at night."
For Morgan, who also teaches chemistry and biology labs and Advanced Placement environmental science, the things she learned this summer will translate into a combination of applied science classes for her students. Things she learned about liquid water with high salt concentrations will be practically applied in lessons about why our highway departments salt roads in winter.
A goal for this year, Morgan said, other than getting students comfortable with measuring temperatures only in Celsius, is exposing them to what being a scientist is really all about — field work. Luckily, the Adirondacks provide many opportunities to get outside and do just that.
"It's a meshing of all the different fields into one interdisciplinary study," she said. "Chemistry can be dry sometimes. This ties the big picture back in."

User Guide to Medical Cannabis Laws in California
What new to state law?
Do I need a medical Marijuana Card in California?
Can I get recreational pot?
Proposition 64 allowed 21 y.o. adults to use and possess cannabis for recreational purposes. The measure ruled two new taxes, one is on cultivation and the other on retail price. Revenue from the marijuana taxes will be spent on treatment, drug research, and enforcement, schools, preventing environmental damage from illegal cannabis grow, health and safety grants addressing weed.
The Medical Marijuana Program Act – Bill 420
Bill 420 allows Californian patients to purchase, possess, use or grow Medical Cannabis for compassionate use, provided they have a medical marijuana recommendation from a state licensed 420 physician.
Medical Marijuana refers to the use of Cannabis or its bioactive cannabinoids as a medication to treat a different disease or a lot of symptoms. Advocates believe that Marijuana can improve appetite in people with HIV/AIDS, reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, and treat chronic pain and muscle spasms among other symptoms.
420 Bill was passed in 1996 in adherence to the 10th Amendment in the Constitution. This 420 bill established the medical marijuana guidelines and regulations for the Medical Marijuana program in California.
Medical Marijuana highlights of 420 Bill:
- SERIOUSLY ILL PATIENTS may cultivate, possess and use if treatment is recommended by a licensed 420 MD
- PRIMARY CAREGIVERS may possess or cultivate Medical Marijuana for use by their 420 patient
- PHYSICIANS are protected from any criminal or civil liability for recommending or approving Medical Marijuana to their patients
Medical Marijuana California – ONLINE!!!
ONLINE MMJDOCTOR: 420 Medical Evaluations are done by California State Licensed Physicians in-person or online. This user-friendly 420-evaluation process is typically completed entirely online or in one of our two locations in San Francisco and San Jose.
Medical Cannabis may be used with a vaporizer, using extracts, smoking, edibles, using oral sprays or taking capsules. Dronabinol (Synthetic cannabinoids) and nabilone are also allowed by recommendation from a licensed medical marijuana 420 MD.
Proposition 215 – Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana
Proposition 215, Section 11362.5 of the California Health & Safety Code, exempts 420 mmj patients and specified caregivers that possess or cultivate Marijuana recommended by a state licensed 420 physician against any criminal charges. Licensed Physicians that recommend medical marijuana cannot be punished or denied any right or privilege. However, physicians are prohibited from recommending it for non-medical Medical Marijuana use.
The Department of Justice ruled that qualified mmj patients and designated caregivers may possess 8 ounces of dried Cannabis provided that they have been issued a state Medical Marijuana Identification Card. MMP Cardholders are also allowed to grow up to 6 mature or 12 immature Pot plants. Further, the state goes on to rule that counties and cities may adjust regulations, allowing approved medical marijuana patients to grow/cultivate more medical marijuana plants.
Under Prop. 215, Medical Cannabis is prohibited within 1000 feet of the public place like schools or kindergartens, while operating or driving by any of transport. An employer may fire any employee at any time if tested positive for MMJ.
Smart or Stupid – The Name of Bill 420 ?
According to folklore, in 1971, a funny group from San Rafael called the Waldos scheduled their regular Cannabis meeting place at the campus' statue of Dr. Louis Pasteur at 4:20 p.m. The Waldos' catchphrase of 420 Louis caught on and it soon became a cool codeword for Pot-smoking in general.
High Times writer Steven Hager wrote, "Stoner Smart or Stoner Stupid?", stated that 4:20 p.m. at the intelligent and socially acceptable time to start Pot consumption. Later, the 420 term was linked to the Grateful Dead, with their followers being credited with popularizing the term worldwide.
In North America, April 20 became a multicultural holiday celebrating the joys of Pot consumption. Some Weed Day events have strong political meaning and have become a starting point to advocate legalization of cannabis in the USA. Today, through these meetups, pro-Marijuana groups have presented considerable power, influencing both universities, community, and local government.
MMP – California Medical Marijuana Program
The California Department of Public Health's Medical Marijuana Program (MMP) provides a State-issued Medical Marijuana Identification Card (MMIC) and maintains a confidential, HIPPO compliant database of qualified medical marijuana patients and designated caregivers. It is voluntary to participate and only authorized authorities can verify the validity of MMIC Cards online.
Our 420 Medical Marijuana Evaluation Center provides patients with high-quality Medical Marijuana photo ID Cards and Medical Marijuana recommendation letters. This patient-friendly process is completed online or at our Mmj Doctor Locations.
County, State & Federal – Medical Marijuana Law
California has 482 cities and 58 counties, each has the power to govern the local Medical Marijuana industries. Medical Marijuana patients should become familiar with County medical marijuana regulations, especially when growing or possessing larger amounts of Medical Cannabis. Differences in county regulations can be significant. While one county can allow patients to possess several pounds of medical pot, while another can have a zero tolerance policy.
There is a serious discussion by most of the 2016 Presidential candidates to either legalize Medical Marijuana or leave the issue entirely within the jurisdiction of the individual states.
Summary – Medical Marijuana 420 Bill
- Once a patient qualifies, a Medical Marijuana Patient Recommendation Letter and ID card are issued.
- MMJ Identification Card and the recommendation letter allows patients to purchase Medical Marijuana from any medical marijuana dispensary in the state.
- Any adult can become a legal Medical Marijuana patient in California and get a medical marijuana recommendation from a licensed 420 physician to treat any medical conditions where cannabis can help.
- All medical marijuana patient information is 100% confidential and cannot be shared with 3rd parties without patient consent.
- A medical marijuana recommendation letter legally allows you to grow, possess, consume, and transport medical Cannabis as a medicine in the state of California. Note that some county regulations are different from that of the state.
- You can be fired if your employer finds out you smoking pot, despite having a valid Medical Marijuana Card and a recommendation letter from licensed medical marijuana doctors.
- Medical Marijuana is not covered by any health insurance company, so you need cash to get your medical marijuana card or medications.

Jared Fogle's Prison Letters Are Just as Creepy as Jared Fogle
Former Subway spokesperson Jared Fogle showed his true colors to the world when he pled guilty to possession of child pornography and traveling to pay to have sex with minors five months ago.
Now he's showing them again with a super uncomfortable letter to an old female acquaintance in which he denies blame for his crimes and says other icky things while behind bars.
Wrote Fogle to his pen pal, who immediately turned around and sold the letter to In Touch for an undisclosed sum:
It has been a very hard nine months for me. I made a couple of mistakes but nothing like the media reports have said. They are making me into some sort of monster which is absolutely not true. I'm currently appealing my prison sentence and am hoping for the best with it. Bottom line, my director of my foundation and friend did some bad stuff and tried to throw me under the bus with him.
He then creepily responds to some photos the woman sent to him, writing:
So hot!!! so hot!! (Just like I remember). Your two pictures you sent me have just made me smile so, so, much!! Can you send me some more good ones? I need you in my life big time.
What is your email address? I have email access from here but I have to plug your email and phone number into the computer and then you accept it and we are good from there. [The email] is monitored, but who cares? LOL.
Lol? You know you're in prison for looking at child pornography, right?

At Home Quality Care has very competitive and affordable rates. Services can be arranged 24 hours a day for 7 days a week. We also offer a daily flat rate for our Live-In caregivers who provide continuous care in the home. We will bill third party payers including Aging/Independence & other Waivers, Veteran's Administration and Long Term Care insurances. We also assist our clients in finding other payment sources. When compared to institutional costs, home care is very affordable.
Medicaid can approve and pay for these services based on your finances and physical needs.
Medicaid could pay up to 100% of your live-in home care costs.
As our loved ones and their families look at long term care costs, it quickly becomes apparent that home care is an affordable alternative to institutional placement. Many clients have not prepared for long term care costs and when their needs force them to look at their choices, it can be pretty intimidating. Do not despair! A variety of resources are available to help pay for their long term care. Sometimes, two or three sources of funding can be packaged together to pay for long term home care.
The first step is to take account of financial resources including all assets and monthly income. No matter which long term care payment option is available, it all starts here!
Assets break down into two main categories; sources of funds that are quickly available and those that are not quickly available.
Quick available funds are assets like stocks, bonds, annuities, pensions, life insurance, certificates of deposit, savings and checking.
Slow available funds are assets like real estate, vehicles, investment properties, trusts, etc. These can take months or years to sell and recover. After reviewing your finances, your journey can take you in a number of directions.
Area Agency on Aging
If your loved one has minimal resources to pay for home care, your first call should be to the local Area Agency on Aging (AAA). AAA has a wide array of services and funding available to seniors. These services include meals, transportation, personal care, protective services, and nursing home transitions, all of which have some funding from federal, state or local governments. These benefits will be explained by AAA after you communicate the needs and personal financial resources of your loved one.

Originally, a joint federal and state government program that helps pay medical costs for some people with limited incomes and resources. In addition to medical costs, it pays for a nursing facility and long term home care costs if eligibility standards are met. Eligibility is based on personal assets and income as determined by your local Pennsylvania County Assistance Office. (This year it's quick available assets of roughly $8000 and monthly income under $2000.) Also, AAA will determine if the functional impairment(s) of the recipient meet state standards. If the recipient qualifies for Medicaid benefits, the state has a program called "Medicaid Estate Recovery" so that the state can recover long term care costs from the real estate of the recipient who received this Medicaid assistance. The state will attach a lien against the property and, upon death of all who live in the home, recover the state's expenditures for long term care. Pennsylvania Medicaid will not pay for costs of living in Assisted Living Facilities or Personal Care Homes.
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for persons ages 65 and older, certain disabled persons, and anyone who has end-stage renal (kidney) disease.
Medicare Part A covers hospital charges such as bed and board, operating room costs, and lab tests. Premiums for Part A are paid for by the government.
Part B pays for doctor's charges and for other outpatient treatment and requires a premium payment by the individual. Both Part A and Part B require the individual to pay a deductible and possible co-payments.
Home health care and hospice are reimbursable by Medicare. Both require a physicians order that documents a need for "skilled" home care. This means that services are provided by a registered or licensed nurse, occupational therapist, speech therapist, physical therapist, pharmacist, etc. Home health nurse aides are reimbursed by Medicare when in conjunction with these healthcare professionals. When the patient's need is considered no longer "skilled" or the patient is no longer home-bound, the aide services are not reimbursed. These services are considered short term and limited, but can be effectively used with Medicare paying the bill.
Long Term Care Insurance
Long Term Care (LTC) insurance has been sold for many years and is included in many individuals benefit programs through their employers. In recent years, fewer of these plans have been sold because of their increasing and expensive premiums. LTC insurance pays for care that is generally not covered by health insurances and Medicare. Individuals who require assistance performing basic activities of daily living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, eating, toileting, incontinence, ambulating or getting out of bed all quality for benefits.
LTC insurance will pay for home care, assisted living, nursing homes and Alzheimer's facilities. Sometimes it is difficult to determine if a senior has this insurance, especially when it is included in the employer's benefit package. Call the employer benefits department to see if this insurance exists.
Veterans Administration
Veterans Administration has a program where all veterans who were in the military during an active war can receive financial assistance for personal care. The Aid and Attendance Program allows veterans and surviving spouses who require a regular attendant for eating, bathing, dressing and other ADLs, to receive monetary benefits for their care. It also reimburses for nursing home and assisted living facilities.
This program can take up to a year for approval but will pay retroactively from the beginning of service. The local office is in Hershey, PA. and is open Monday through Friday from 9am-4pm.

Life Insurance
Typically, people have life insurance to protect themselves and family members against sudden loss of income after the death of a breadwinner. Most seniors are years past employment so loss of income may not be a primary factor. However, life insurance policies contain riders that sometimes allow benefits to be paid for chronic illness care. Policies even allow accelerated death benefits payments for long term care. These riders are very useful for current elderly needs as well as planning for future Long Term Care costs.
Reverse Mortgage
A reverse mortgage is a federally insured loan that allows you to convert some of the equity in your home into tax-free cash. It is a unique loan that is easy to obtain if you are at least 62 years old and own your own home. You always remain the owner of your home.
Reverse mortgage features:
- No monthly mortgage payments.
- There is no income or credit requirements.
- Proceeds can be used however you want.
- Proceeds do not affect Social Security or Medicare benefits.
- Loan is not due until the last homeowner passes away, sells the home or permanently moves out.
- Both fixed rate and adjustable rate programs are available.
Reverse mortgages can be used to improve lifestyle, cover healthcare costs, pay off existing mortgages, fix up the home, or simply give a peace of mind. Whatever the goal, a reverse mortgage will help to maintain financial independence.
Health Insurance
Health insurance policies for the elderly generally do not pay for long term care. These policies generally wrap around the Medicare benefit and do not add any new benefits. However, there are exceptions. You would need to look at your individual policy to determine if home care aides are covered and for how long. The only time we have experienced increased nurse aide benefits is following a hospital stay and being covered through the supplemental policy. These benefits are limited to the health condition of the recipient, considered short term in nature and as recipient's health condition improves, will be terminated.

MANCHESTER — It took 14 tries, but the Exeter High School boys basketball team finally won the Queen City Invitational Basketball Tournament.
MANCHESTER — It took 14 tries, but the Exeter High School boys basketball team finally won the Queen City Invitational Basketball Tournament.
Exeter received 26 points from senior guard Chris Petzy and beat Dover, 68-47, in the tournament's championship game Friday night at Manchester Memorial High School. Petzy, who was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player, scored 11 of his 26 points in the first quarter, when the Blue Hawks built a 21-7 lead.
"It was a strong first quarter, and then we kept the margin between 12 and 20 for the rest of the game," Exeter coach Jeff Holmes said. "It was a real good team effort. It nice to finally win this."
Steele Blais scored 10 points for Exeter, which improved its overall record to 4-1. Dover, which beat Exeter 68-64 during the regular season, dropped to 3-2.
Winnacunnet 71
Kennebunk 70
DURHAM — A night after letting an early double-digit lead slip away in its 59-51 loss to Oyster River, the Warriors had a reversal of fortune in their second game of the Oyster River Holiday Classic.
The Warriors trailed 43-32 at halftime of their consolation game against Kennebunk, Maine, but they made enough plays at the end to pull out a victory and even their record at 1-1 in the tournament (2-0 in Class L).
Harry Knowles connected on a pass from Ryan Dunn in the corner for a 3-pointer to give Winnacunnet the one-point lead with three seconds left in the game. Knowles finished with 14 points and also hit a key trey to bring the Warriors within 68-66 with one minute left.
"That's who we drew it up for and we're lucky we have a number of players who can take that shot," Winnacunnet coach Jay McKenna said. "We've ran that play before and unfortunately we haven't executed it. I told the guys in the huddle that if we execute it, we'll get a pretty good shot. We executed, he got an open look and he hit a tough shot."
Nathan Roe led Winnacunnet with 16 points, while Kyle Ratcliffe added 14. Kennebunk's Sean Bergeron scored a game-high 37 points.
The Warriors will play their final game of the tournament today (4:30 p.m.), when they play Class I St. Thomas Aquinas. The Saints are 1-1 in the tournament and beat York, Maine, 71-48 on Friday.
"We did a much better job of executing in the second half; I don't think they scored a basket from the floor in the fourth quarter," McKenna said. "Our execution in halfcourt and transition was much better, and it gave us better looks at the basket."
Traip Academy 63
Campbell 61
NEWMARKET — Trevor Higgins scored 19 points as Traip raised its overall record to 7-0 with this victory in the Newmarket Holiday Classic.

If you've gone gluten-free, you've probably noticed some significant changes in your health. Better digestion, more energy and a brighter mood are what most people report feeling after a few weeks on a gluten free diet.
But what about a gluten free diet for weight loss? Isn't a going gluten free supposed to help you lose weight?
While removing gluten can certainly reduce inflammation – a cornerstone of an unhealthy metabolism and chronic disease – it is often not enough.
And the reason is that…
Gluten-Free Foods are LOADED with "Fat Fertilizer" (a.k.a – Sugar)!
Take a look at any of the gluten free products out there – from pancakes and all-purpose flours, to cakes, breads and brownie mixes. You will quickly see they share something in common:
They use a combination of high-glycemic ingredients like rice flour, potato starch and sorghum flour.
So while the gluten is missing, all the blood sugar-spiking effects are still there.
But here's the good news: There is a healthy, low-glycemic, gluten-free option you can use that actually BURNS fat…
Coconut Flour: The Superfood Flour You Need in Your Healing Kitchen
Coconut flour!
(Here's a little story about the fat-burning abilities of this ingredient. In the 1940's, farmers were feeding coconut to their livestock to help them fatten up. But they realized they were not fattening – but getting lean, active and hungry instead. Farmers then switched to soy beans and corn which allowed the livestock to fatten without using much food – go figure!)
But coconut isn't just a metabolic power ingredient. It is also a prebiotic fiber that helps your body maintain or restore your gut flora (or internal ecosystem, as I call it). A healthy gut flora is vital to fat loss, but more importantly to keeping a healthy immune system.
If you haven't ever used coconut flour, there are a few things you should know.
First: a little goes a long way. While it might look light and fluffy, it is actually a dense, fiber-rich flour. A good rule is to use one egg for each tablespoon of coconut flour in your recipes.
Also, most recipes that call for coconut flour specify "sifted coconut flour". One half cup coconut flour does not equal one half cup sifted coconut flour. If you don't sift and then measure, your baked goods can end up dry and dense.
My favorite brand is Let's Do Organic. Not only is it organically sourced, but it has superior flavor and quality, and is economical, to boot.
A Low-Glycemic Gluten Free Diet for Weight Loss
To get lean and lose body fat on a gluten free diet, base your meals around whole foods including grass-fed beef, pastured poultry, wild seafood and above ground veggies.
And when the craving strikes for a slice of bread, a muffin, cookie or treat, reach for coconut flour (and other low glycemic nut flours, like almond flour) to create delicious, low glycemic baked goods that won't spike your blood sugar. (Learn more about healthy gluten free baking here).
Here are a few great gluten free recipes using coconut flour to get you started:
- Gluten Free Coconut Flour Crepes
- Paleo Focaccia Bread
- Paleo Sweet Potato Waffles

At the beginning of our trip to Guatemala last week, I wrote prophetically in my journal, "Travel isn't really travel unless it freaks you out a little bit, gets you out of your comfort zone, and makes you think." If that's true, then we sure did some serious traveling last week!
When Josh, Sarah (Josh's sister) and I arrived in Guatemala, we spent several days in Guatemala City before heading out to Lake Atitlan. We were staying in a hotel in a small, remote village in the cleft of a mountain on the lake, only accessible by small water taxi. If there ever was a place where you could get lost and fall of the map, this was it. Other than our pleasant hosts at the lodge, we were the only guests in the suite that overlooked the two volcanoes on the other side of the lake. It was quiet and relaxing, complete with hammocks, flowering vines and peaceful afternoon rain.
Attack of the Bat! Our first adventure truly started when all three of us woke up simultaneously in the middle of the night to the sound of velvety flapping wings. As I lay there paralyzed in the darkness I knew exactly what it was. It wasn't a bird… it wasn't a moth… yes, it was a bat. Josh turned on the light as I pulled the covers up to my eyes and watched the bat disappear into the hole in the ceiling above my head. And then the question – what do we do?!
The lodge had many buildings and it occurred to us that we had no idea where the managers lived on the property. "Crap," I said. "If only we had a way to alert the hotel management that we had a bat in our room… like… a bat signal!" Since no bat signal was found, we had several options:
Option A: Turn off the lights, open the front doors wide, hide in the second bedroom for a minute and hope that the bat comes back out of the hole and leaves out of the front door. This method proved unsuccessful, although it was funny to watch Josh run around (in the raincoat that he thought would protect him from the bat) opening doors and turning off lights.
Option B: All three of us would crowd into the second bedroom in the little bed, close the door and sleep. Let the hotel deal with our bat friend in the morning. We chose this option – we would rather be cramped and have sore backs than try to sleep in a room with a bat.
Trapped in a Village! Our next adventure was political in nature. The day that we planned to leave the lake area, we travelled to the village of Panajachel, where we were to catch our shuttle to Antigua. That day we heard rumors about a protest and saw men moving rocks into the street, but the shuttle company assured us that everything would be fine. However, as we drove out of town, we reached a barricade of trees . The men of the town had blocked the only two roads out of town in order to protest the rising government electric costs. The shuttle driver turned off the van and we got out to assess our options. The news reached us that the protesters were not going to stop "until the President came to Panajachel and discussed the electricity prices." At this point I realized that we were dealing with people who would either protest all night, or get drunk and tired and go home in an hour or so. I contemplated buying them a round to speed up the process. We weren't really sure how it would turn out, but we all decided to stick around for 2-3 more hours to see if we could get out of town. It was starting to get dark.
I started looking around at our fellow passengers and wondered how we would all fare together as the cast of "Lost." There was the pleasant German tourist, the History professor from Michigan who talked incessantly and wouldn't shut up, the slightly shady bus driver, three new age hippie tour guides, a very old white guy with a beautiful young Guatemalan wife and baby, a serious female Guatemalan doctor, and us. Yes, we were a motley crew. As the hippies stood outside the van and got high, we plotted our next move – were there any hotels in town we could stay at if we were trapped for the night?
The old man with the baby somehow convinced the Guatemalan doctor to walk up to the barricade with him and beg to be let through. They had a flight to catch in the morning, but he told the doctor to tell the men that their baby was sick and needed medicine. After taking a meager collection from some of the other passengers, they walked toward the barricade with the baby to try this story and offer up some money to let us through. It didn't work.
As it turns out, after about 2 hours, the government sent word that they would negotiate, and the small band of protesters relented and moved the trees that they had placed in the road and let us through. Everyone in our van cheered, and the hippies began talking (slowly but enthusiastically) about connections, microcosms, and vortexes. Yes, it was onward to Antigua!
Volcano! After finally arriving late in Antigua on Wednesday night, we decided that we were exhausted and would spend some time around Antigua on Thursday and that we would hike the Pacaya volcano on Friday. It was an active volcano but a tourist attraction in which you could hike up to see the peaceful lava flows. Well, on Thursday evening as we were dozing off in our hotel, we overheard people talking excitedly in the hallway. We turned on the television and saw coverage of people being evacuated from the villages around Pacaya.
Apparently the volcano had erupted in a big way for the first time in 10 years. It was raining black sand all over Guatemala City. Both Antigua and Guatemala City were only about 15 miles away, but the wind was carrying it to Guate and blanketing everything in 3 inches of black sand. The Guatemala City airport closed, and we started to get nervous about our flight on Sunday morning. Soon we did hear that the airport would be closed for the next several days, and our flight was canceled. We decided that we were going to have to go to El Salvador or Belize or somewhere else to catch our flight. As El Salvador was the closest route by bus (5 hours), we decided on that and rebooked our flight for Tuesday.
Tropical Storm Agatha! On Friday, it started to rain non-stop. The first tropical storm of the season, Agatha, was forming just off the coast and headed straight toward us. We were unsure about whether to remain in Antigua, the smaller town, or whether to go on to Guatemala City as planned. We decided that yes, we would go- and on Saturday morning when we caught our scheduled shuttle we noticed that the streets were starting to fill up with the rainwater, and our driver commented that this would probably be the last shuttle of the day due to the rain and the flooding.
That night in Guatemala City the most intense part of the storm rolled in. We had gone to the mall nearby our hotel looking for something to do, and we watched the wind and the rain and the lightning show on the way back to our hotel in the taxi.
Floods, Sink Holes, and Landslides! The worst of the storm was over as of Sunday, but we waited until Monday to catch our bus to El Salvador. The country had been devastated by all of the rain and the flooding from the past several days. Whole villages and families were evacuated, especially in the mountainous areas where there were landslides and lots of runoff. Agatha, the flooding and mudslides caused nearly 179 deaths in Guatemala while we were there, which was a very sobering experience. In Guatemala City, a massive 350 foot deep sink hole swallowed up several homes.
To make a long story short, we ended up taking our bus to San Salvador with no problems (although the black volcanic sand was still covering the roads, and we saw some swollen rivers and evidence of landslides along the way) and we caught our flight back to the United States on Tuesday. We were just happy to make it back home after all of the calamity. While the events that occurred were certainly ones that we will remember for a long time, we also greatly enjoyed our time in Guatemala apart from the craziness. More to come about the rest of the trip soon – but the adventure story just had to be told first!

In our organizations, we stand poised on a precarious cliff. With the increasing retirement of Baby Boomers and multiple generations in the workplace, many organizations already see brain-drain and conflict increasing. The whole shape of the world has changed from one of relative black-and-white to, at best, multi-colored wet cement.
We now live in a world where truth depends upon your perspective. What I know is my truth; what you know is your truth; truth is no longer absolute, it is colored by experience and emotion and by a world that increasingly believes in inclusion. No matter how wrong a behavior can be, it may go uncorrected. When truth is blinded by perception, truth suffers and erodes. Eventually, there is no truth and only perception. For the good of organizations everywhere, we need to try to reverse this trend by focusing on knowledge first.
What you KNOW influences what you DO and that influences what you GET. Recently, a friend had some cracks forming in his wall and he called a general contractor. The contractor came in and patched the drywall for the going rate. A few months later the cracks returned. Another contractor tore up the drywall and made the fix again. The cracks returned. A third contractor was called. Hearing the story and seeing the result, she said, "I can fix these cracks and you'll see me again in a few months. The cracks aren't due to faulty workmanship. They happen because the foundation of your house is shifting. If you don't shore up the foundation, the cracks will continue to reoccur."
If our organizational foundation shifts from knowledge to perception, no matter how many times we repair the cracks, they will reappear until we address the issues at the core. To succeed in the new world, we must refocus on foundational knowledge – truth that can lead to better perception and action. My personal challenge to you is to take a course that can expand your horizons. The benefit can be one that frees you to innovate, in ways you might never have known yourself capable of doing.

So, I was going to try Cassie's suggestion from my last post about scraplifting a layout from the latest Creating Keepsakes magazine to help with my mojo problems. This morning I sat down at my desk with my copy of the magazine but no inspiration took hold I'm afraid.
Plan B – find a photo and try to be inspired by that. Last night, I had my work Christmas party and my lovely husband was kind enough to meet me afterwards to accompany me back to our hotel. While we were making our way back to the hotel I took a few happy snaps with my trusty iPhone – they're not the greatest photos (did I mention I'd had a few drinks?) but I really love one of them in particular.
As you may have guessed, I'm totally in love with my little family of cats and a few weeks ago I was doing my usual spiel where one of them was being cute and I said he was my favourite (trust me, they're all my favourites!) – then I looked over at Aaron and I said, "Don't worry, you're my favourite human" – and it's stuck!
I've got my photo. I've got my title. I've got some pretty new My Mind's Eye papers. Aaaaaand GO!
You Are My Favourite Human
Materials: My Minds Eye paper, Bazzill cardstock, string, Thickers, Scrapware letters, Tim Holtz Distress Stain, Crackle Accents, Studio Calico letters (I think), Collections Elements fabric, Viva Metallic paint
I'm not 100% happy with the layout, but it's a start in the right direction. I do however LOVE the effect on the "human" word – I took some plain chipboard letters (it's one of my favourite fonts from Scrapware – I've gone through two packs already… I might have to get some more!) and coloured them with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I then painted over it with the lovely gold Viva Metallic paint (amazing stuff!), then finally added a coat of the Crackle Accents and left it be for a few hours. When I got back I was stunned with the result – the Crackle Accents sort of melted the Viva Metallics and what was a pale golden colour has morphed into a darker, burnt gold and the crackle effect looks really cool!
I love messing about and seeing what works!

Everywhere you go someone is waiting for you: The Joy of Discovering Kindred Spirits
Written by Rebecca Janzen
August, 2010
In 2008 and 2009 I participated in a program called Serving and Learning Together, SALT, a one-year service and learning experience for young adults of the Mennonite Central Committee, MCC. Over the course of eleven months, I lived in Managua, Nicaragua, and volunteered at the Batahola Norte Cultural Centre (www.friendsofbatahola.org). Thanks to the program, I learned about Nicaraguan culture by living with a host family, attending a Nicaraguan church and interacting with my Nicaraguan coworkers.
After my year of service and learning ended, I began studying in Toronto and when my first year of a PhD program ended in May, I decided to see some friends I had in Argentina and Uruguay, and while I was there, see where my grandparents worked and where my mom was born in Paraguay, and since I was in the region, return to Nicaragua.
I did a little bit of everything. I saw impressive infrastructural developments, like the slaughterhouse and milk factory in the Menno colony in Paraguay and the Itaipú dam between Brazil and Paraguay and natural wonders, like the Iguazú Falls and the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a ravine carved out by a river and surrounded by multi-coloured hills. Better still, in the Quebrada de Cafayate, another ravine, this time surrounded by vinyards, I went for a long bike ride where I felt like stopping to take pictures every few minutes. Most importantly I was able to meet interesting people, and in this way was able to see the beauty of my new surroundings because I was not convinced that my way was better.
By emphasizing relationship-building, especially in church-related contexts, I was able to better understand other people's hopes, dreams and daily realities. At CEMTA, a Mennonite Conference School of Theology and Music, for example, I learned that all students everywhere procrastinate, and in Paraguay, drinking maté together makes it more fun. In Buenos Aires, the Floresta Mennonite Church invited me into its community, and I realized that all Mennonites are connected, both through faith, the Mennonite game and a commitment to peace and justice. As I return to life in Toronto, I hope to continue to seek out and develop these kinds of connections.

I like to review the emails in my "junk" mailbox, rather than have Hotmail delete them automatically, because I sometimes get mail from legitimate people I've met who are sending me an email for the first time, and these get shunted to the "junk" box along with the real junk by the ever-vigilant Microsoft security patrol--try to imagine an electronic version of Barney Fife, eyes a-goggle, gun waving wildly in the night-- lest they be some kind of threat to my system.
You would think a large and wealthy Monopoly such as Microsoft could figure out most "junk" emails for what they are, and wipe them out entirely before they reach my Hotmail account. The electronic version of Sheriff Taylor: wise, confident, ever-alert to subtle clues in the sender's name, for example, or in the subject line of the email that would tip him off.
But no. Nearly all the emails that Microsoft Hotmail lets through are not even close to being anything I want to see.
So why does Barney let them in? Does Bill Gates get legitimate emails with the subject matter containing the word "V*agra" more frequently than I might suspect? Does he like to open random "Dil@do" offers? Let's take a look at this morning's junk emails, courtesy of Barney--er, Hotmail, and you be the judge as to whether they might be something I want to open.
1. The first is from a fellow named "Eric" with no last name. I do not know any Erics with no last name, but Barney appears sure he is very kindly attempting to help me out. Barney can see it plainly in the subject line of the email:
I saved on Xanax&Viagra! OthersToo!
2. The second is from "Skinny Mini." I do not know anyone named Skinny Mini, either, but once again Barney is sure this person is also looking out for my best interests, because the subject line states:
B Thin Today!
3. The third is from somebody named "Printer Ink 85% Off." I am not familiar with this person, nor do I know anybody--except possibly one of Frank Zappa's children--who contain the term "85%" in their names. Nevertheless, Barney seems to think the subject matter is promising, and worth letting through:
Jeffrey - "ALWAYS [GÌANT] SAVÏNGS' ......
4. The fourth and final junk email is from another possible descendant of Frank Zappa, named: "Your-Diet." This person promises me something that is completely incomprehensible, but Barney goes ahead and lets it through:
What do you think? Would you open any of these emails? Would Bill Gates?
Meanwhile, on my Network Solutions mailbox, which I keep for the frequent occassions when Hotmail mysteriously--perhaps Microsoft is not paying its vendors on time--goes radio silent, I have precisely zero junk emails of the type promising X-rated pleasures or diet pills at reduced prices.
Microsoft generates $1 billion of cash per month. Part of the charm of having a monopoly, I suppose, is that you can create lousy products such as Hotmail, do so little to help your customers that they sometimes daydream about leaving, and yet go home secure in the knowledge that they will not be going anywhere, because there is nowhere to go.
Meanwhile, I have to get busy emptying Hotmail. But I have to be careful--I don't want to scare Ol' Barn.

glucose monitor connects directly into the Apple iPhone
A new device launched in the UK will enable diabetics to manage their condition with a smartphone.
The £48 hi-tech glucose monitor, being rolled out at Boots stores, attaches to the Apple iPhone and iPod touch. It allows sufferers to check their blood sugar levels at any time using their phone or MP3 player.
The device, iBGStar, comes with a free Diabetes Manager App that makes it possible to store, track and analyse medical data.
Accurate monitoring of blood glucose is essential to the management of diabetes, which affects 2.9 million people in the UK. It is especially important for people with type-1 diabetes, an auto-immune disease that can lead to dangerous rises in blood sugar level.
High blood sugar can lead to serious complications including damage to the heart, kidneys, nerves and eyes.
Traditional blood glucose monitors (BGMs) are palm-sized devices that test tiny drops of blood obtained by pricking the skin.
iBGStar works the same way but is just one inch long and plugs straight into an iPhone or iPod touch. Software carries out the analysis and flashes the results onto the screen. It also allows users to follow changing trends and variations, and factors in information such as carbohydrate intake, insulin injections and exercise.
TV presenter Dominic Littlewood, who is helping to promote the device and was diagnosed with type-1 diabetes as a teenager, said: "I lead a hectic lifestyle and so keeping an eye on my blood glucose levels is challenging. iBGStar gives me the reassurance of knowing that I can get accurate blood glucose results using my iPhone, which I carry around anyway."
Sarah Johnson, from the type-1 diabetes research charity JDRF, said: "Good blood glucose control is vital to reducing the long-term effects of diabetes, but it can be difficult and demanding to achieve. As such, we welcome all developments in technology that can help people with type-1 and type-2 diabetes take control of their condition."
Dr Andrew Hockey, medical director for diabetes at the pharmaceutical company Sanofi, which produces the iBGStar, said the device was a "huge step forward". "It harnesses the power of the latest technology to empower people with diabetes to manage their condition on a day-to-day basis," he added.

Annabella, Bath, Body, Body Scrub, exfoliant, pomegranate, Skin Scrubs, sugar, Sweet, Works
I love me a great body scrub. More so if someone like a skilled therapist is doing it for me but if i cannot get a salon or spa i just have to do it for myself. Boo Hiss.
I have since discovered across the other side of the world a scrub crazy gal who is even more
psychotic nuts about body scrubs and exfoliants that i and thats a big call. Her name is the delectable Annabella from Skin Scrubs. Annabella is one of the nicest and sweetest people you will ever get to know. After chatting via email back and forward we decided to send each other a "International Care Package" of goodies from around the world as I was off to Japan on holidays and Annabella was off to the USA , Aruba (hells yeah Aruba) before retuning to the United Kingdom. Once we both returned home and sent each other our treats I was floored by Annabella's generosity as my package was filled to the brim with products that I am hoarding like a child hordes easter eggs as the are just to precious to use but I couldn't get into this scrub quick enough.
Be sure to pop over to Annabella's website and see what delights she has instal for you. Good luck dolls in being able to get off her site in less that an hour! Tip: make a cup of tea first. You'll need it.
Bath & Body Works say:
Our super charged body scrub helps smooth and refresh skin with a visible foaming action so you can feel it working. Enriched with nourishing Vitamine E, moustrizing Jojoba Oil & soothing Aloe, this invigorating formula helps skin look radiant and feel super smooth.
Madam M says:
The fragrance is super super sweet and fruity. It kind of reminds me of super hard candy. To me its more of a strawberry\raspberry with a hint of orange or lemon more so than pomegranate. Which if you smell a pomegranate it dosnt really have a strong scent.
The first time i used this i was pretty heavy handed and ended up squeezing way to much product out and i also made the mistake of standing under the shower with the water running over my back. Big mistake as it totally watered the product down and the sugar melted a little too quick for me.
Since then i have learnt that i need to turn off the taps and get scrubbing. This way the sugar stays around a lot longer and i can get really good even coverage over my body to exfoliate all areas.
The consistency is quite thick and grainy and has a fantastic foaming quality also. After using my skin feel so deliciously soft and smooth. The fragrance stay on my skin for hours to come and i can't help but sniff myself senseless.
Unfortunatley this product is unavailable for purchase on the website but there are loads of other varieties that include sea island cotton, aruba coconut, Rio rum berry & coconut lime breeze just to name a few. um YUM!
Due to me not being able to get my mitts on this particular product again i am now reserving it just for exfoliating my legs.
You can get your mitts on similar product to this from:
Bath & Body Works: www.bathandbodyworks.com $14.00 USD for 269g
This product was received as a gift.

Is There Life After A Heart Attack?
Nov 30, 2016
Been there; done that! But, I didn't need a defibrilator when I had my heart attack. But what if you have a heart attack and need an AED, Automatic External Defibrillator?
I'm not so sure that you would survive if you live in Ontario. At least I'm not sure since reading the conclusions reported in the Ontario Prehospital Advanced Life Support (OPALS) study and the Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) trial.
"These studies, reported on the Health Quality Ontario site, examined the effect of a community program to respond to cardiac arrest with and without the use of AEDs. Their authors had reported a significant reduction in overall mortality from cardiac arrest with the use of AEDs.
"Of the 85% cardiac arrests that occur in homes, 56% occur in single residential dwellings (houses), 23% occur in multi-residential dwellings (apartments/condominiums), and 6% occur in nursing homes. There is no program in place except the 911 system to reach these patients.
"One model for the use of AEDs in out-of-hospital settings was examined in the OPALS study. Firefighters and police were trained and provided with AEDs. The total initial cost (in US dollars) of this program was estimated to be $980,000. The survival rate was 3.9% before implementing the AED program and 5.2% after its implementation (OR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.03-1.7; P = .03). Applying these estimates to cardiac arrest rates in Ontario in 2002, one would expect 54 patients of the total 1,395 cardiac arrests to survive without AEDs compared with 73 patients with AEDs; thus, 19 additional lives might be saved each year with an AED program. It would initially cost $51,579 to save each additional life."
Note, however, that "in subsequent years the total cost would be lower by about $50,000 per year"! That means after the first year, it would cost only $2,632 to save each additional life.
"Results from this review suggest that the incidence of cardiac arrest in out-of-hospital setting in Ontario is 59 per 100,000 people. The mean age of cardiac arrest patients is 69 years. Eighty-five percent of these cardiac arrests occur in homes. Of all the cardiac arrests, 37% have heart rhythm abnormalities (ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation) that are correctable by delivering shock through an AED.
"Thus," reported the Health Quality Ontario site, "in an out-of-hospital setting, general use of AEDs by laypersons would not be cost-effective." Special programs are needed in the out-of-hospital setting for cost-effective use of AEDs."
Not cost effective for whom? Certainly cost effective for the 19 people in Ontario who survived because of AED's in 2002. Surely even more cost effective for the additional lives that would be saved now!
The article at the HQO site goes on to conclude that, "Special programs are needed in the out-of-hospital setting for cost-effective use of AEDs."
I for one would like to see those programs made available as widely as possible. I would also like to se an AED in every public building and every church, synagogue, temple, etc. Who knows the life saved may be your own.

Ajimobi wins Oyo South Senatorial District Ticket
Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi has won the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for Oyo South Senatorial District.
The governor emerged winner with 2,659 votes against his closest challenger who polled a total of 168 votes.
Ademola Seriki who led electoral panel described the poll as another successful primary that the committee had conducted.
"You heard what happened in some states that conducted the same exercise. Some were not as successful as Oyo State and I give the credit to the aspirants and the entire members of this great party for making this exercise worthwhile," Seriki said
"I salute the calmness and maturity of the aspirants that have so far participated in the primaries. We look forward to further cooperation of all stakeholders in the remaining primaries," he added
The incumbent governor while responding to the result of the primary, described it as free and fair despite the earlier delay.
"I look forward to going back to the Red Chamber to contribute my quota to the national debate and the progress of the nation. I wish to bring to fore my parliamentary experience to grow a Nigeria that the next generation will be proud of," Ajimobi said.
"As you have all witnessed, the election was free, fair and transparent. You can see that it was transparent and I am happy about it," he added.
The two-term serving governor said the people of Oyo South Senatorial district should expect greater performance from him at the Senate, which will go beyond his "unprecedented achievements as governor."
Ajimobi in 2003 and 2007 represented the Oyo South senatorial district, which include Ibarapa North, Ibarapa East, Ibarapa Central, Ido, Ibadan North, Ibadan South-East, Ibadan South-West, Ibadan North-East and Ibadan North-West.

French photographer Greg Florent spent two months in Hungary and managed to capture the magic of the way night comes to Budapest, the country's capital city. Alright, he cheated a little as he actually created compositions showcasing both day and night in a single shot, but isn't that a great idea?
"Buda… Pest… two characters separated by the Danube," writes Florent, when describing this series. "Day… night… two atmospheres separated by an invisible thread. Budapest, 'pearl of Danube', knows how to seduce at any hour, so why choose, when one can enjoy all its charms at the same time?"
Be sure to check out the Budapest Daylight time-lapse, created by Florent to summarize the project, below the pictures.

These snazzy shoes caught my eye on the Neiman Marcus Website. I thought... I could wear those ritzy shoes with so many outfits.
They do look a bit Gold Coast, but would probably go anywhere. Not that the Gold Coast has dibs on ritzy and elegant fashions.
I could wear them with a long gown or short cocktail dress. These shoes would do wonders for a ball, party, dinner or cocktail Do outfit.

A Fantastic Cause, Spectacular Food and an Amazing Night To Come…
I try not to plug things too often–that is, unless it's something that I 100% want and believe in. I only review things I love (or hate for that matter) and for me to talk about loving an organization and blog–you know I must really love it!
That being said, there is an organization called THE LAMP. A quick explanation of this organization (as it can be found on their website) is as follows: The LAMP is a non-profit organization creating a grassroots movement to reform and improve media. This is achieved through free media literacy workshops and public events for youth, parents and educators.
I think we can all agree that media is powerful. And with the infiltration of media into SO many aspects of all our lives (which can be both a positive and negative thing), we all need to become more educated on the best way to utilize the tools we've been given. But not only this, but RECOGNIZE when we're being influenced by media. There was a recent statement made by a public figure head about how technology can be a distraction–and I agree. Without the proper education on how to use technology and media, it can be a very negative distraction–it's all in how you use it.
But, I digress. THE LAMP is hosting a benefit along with a friend of ours (and by friend, I mean fellow blogger whom I've never actually met), the stunning Alejandra Ramos of Always Order Dessert.
On Wednesday, June 9 in Brooklyn, some of the hottest, most delectable food bloggers will face off in a dessert challenge. Celebrity judges will mediate AND as an attendee, you get drink specials, an entry into the raffle AND you get to taste all the desserts. Let me say that again–YOU GET TO TASTE THE DESSERTS. It's a party–where the main focus is trying different sweets. I honestly don't see how it could get any better. Except–oh, oh…wait a minute–all the proceeds go to benefit an extremely important cause!
Tickets are only $20 and you can buy them here or at the door for $25.
Seriously, guys. Check it out. If you can't attend the actual event, go read THE LAMP's blog now and then. It's a real eye opener…and for some great style, cooking, baking, event planning ideas, check out Always Order Dessert.

In K-Dramaland, people qcome down with a fever all the time when they have been in the cold or rain for a little while, when heartbroken or stressed out. It usually ends after a few hours. Often somebody stays at the sick person's side and will wipe their sweat off their face and nuke with an unfolded towel. Or they will lay a wet towel on the sick person's forehead and once in a while refresh the towel in a water-filled plastic bowl. Once able to eat,they will be fed congee.
To find out if somebody has a fever, people in K-Dramaland usually do not use a clinical thermometer; they will hold their own forehand with one hand and feel the temperature of the forehead of the potentially sick person.

NBC News' Tom Brokaw to moderate Whitman-Brown gubernatorial debate October 12 at Dominican
"We are delighted that both candidates have accepted our invitation to debate here and we are pleased that the highly regarded journalist Tom Brokaw has agreed to moderate," President Fink said. "The fact that a journalist of Tom's stature is involved in the debate reflects the impact that California has on issues facing our country from health care to economic recovery. As a University known for social responsibility, Dominican is well-positioned to offer a thoughtful platform for the candidates to present their views."
"This election comes at a critical time for the citizens of California, and as the campaign unfolds over the next few months, the country will be watching to see who will become the next Governor," Brokaw said. "I am particularly excited about participating in this debate because I began my NBC News career covering California politics in 1966."
"The race to the statehouse here is one of the most highly watched electoral contests in the nation," Phil Alongi, executive producer of the debate and a former Emmy-award winning network television producer of news and political coverage, concurred. "NBC is providing this evening statewide broadcast of the debate as part of its continuing news commitment to informing the voters of California."

Getting Started – Web HMI Dashboard
Step 1
To use the Web HMI Dashboard you must first register the Web HMI libraries. This is done with the OAS Service Control Manager with the Web HMI Registration (highlighted below).
Define the exclusive Node Name and Port Number that is to be supported. The Node Name should be the registered domain name, IP address, or network node name that all clients will connect to from their browsers. It can also be left as localhost.
The Port number is set to 58725 by default, but can be changed to any available port on the server. You may also select Use SSL if you choose to require an SSL connection for all Web HMI communications, including the Web HMI Dashboard. If you choose to use SSL, you must select which SSL Certificate to use with the service. SSL requires that a server certificate be present and installed on the server where the OAS Services are installed.
Once you have configured the Web HMI Registration fields using your desired settings, click Register to set the server registration. If your services are running, you will be asked if you would like the services to be stopped, as it is required for the registration to be completed.
Step 2
Open a browser to the Web HMI Dashboard at the following address:
For example, if you are on the same machine as the OAS Service installation, you are not using SSL, and you are using the default port, the URL will be:
Step 3
Once presented with the Web HMI Dashboard login screen, enter in an OAS server credential, or leave blank to use the default server credential and click "Sign In".
Upon successfully logging in, you will be presented with your personalized Web HMI Dashboard. If the application is in Demo Mode, you will be provided with some demo dashboards and you will see live data flowing into each module. All modifications to your dashboard will be saved within your login and remembered for your next session.
Additional Configuration Settings
By default, the Web HMI Dashboard will run in Demo Mode which will do the following:
- All logins no matter the credentials, will be allowed to log into the application and be provided individual dashboard settings
- New logins will be pre-populated with demo dashboards
To alter any application configurations, locate the Web HMI Dashboard directory located in the installation directory for Open Automation Software. This is typically in C:\Program Files (x86)\Open Automation Software\OPC Systems.NET. The Dashboard directory is labeled "www".
Within this directory, look in the "js" directory and locate the file app_config.js. This is a JSON file containing application settings.
oas_url : optional hard-coded URL of the OAS server location. Omit this setting and the application will assume the server:port used to connect to the app
show_login_url : <true | false> determines if the OAS url can be supplied by the user in the login screen to point the application to a specific OAS service
session_timeout : <integer> number of minutes of inactivity before the user session is ended and the login screen is displayed
demo_mode : <true | false> enables or disables demo mode
demo_dashboards : a JSON representation of the demo dashboards pre-populated for new users in demo_mode

Sometimes you want to jump right into a running job to see what's going on. Or maybe you want to move some files around on your persistent file store. You could run each command as a Job itself, or even easier, just SSH directly into the job
Setup a Job with SSH
Not every container is built to support SSH directly. We have made a simple container available to show what is required to open up SSH. You can run this container directly using the following command from your command line:
paperspace jobs create --machineType P100 --container Test-Container --ports 8888:22 --command 'bash run.sh' --workspace "https://github.com/Paperspace/gradient-ssh-test.git"
SSH into the Job
Once this job is running it will appear to stop at
processing triggers for systemd. This is expected behavior as it waits for the SSH connection.
You can now SSH to your job by getting the public IP address from your console (https://www.paperspace.com/console/jobs) and then typing:
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com -p 8888
Note: We are forwarding port
8888 to the container's SSH port
22 which you can see in the
--ports 8888:22 portion of the job run. This is because the host node cannot expose port
22 directly as it is reserved for internal communication. (Coming soon: There are some ports that cannot be added. They'll be listed here soon!)
You will be prompted for a password. The script that we called created the password mys3cr3t@PW which you can confirm here (https://github.com/Paperspace/gradient-ssh-test/blob/master/run.sh#L4). We highly recommend changing this password before running it yourself. You can do this by modifying the run.sh script

Most Synthetix5 Reviews Don't Tell The Truth
If you're looking for fake urine to pass a drug test then you will quickly come across loads of positive Synthetix5 reviews telling you that it is one of the best brands you can use.
It's a comprehensive product in terms of containing stuff drug labs look for in a real sample, has a long history of people buying and using it, and it still continues to be marketed and sold in large quantities.
But what is the truth? Is it as good as the other big brands now out there, or is it that most Synthetix5 reviews are either trying to sell you the product, or worse making it all up as they go along based on old forum and website positive comments?
What Is Synthetix5 Synthetic Urine?
Let's look at the positives straight away. Synthetix5 contains key markers that drug test labs look for to see if the sample is genuine:
- Urea
- Uric acid
- Correct pH
- Correct gravity
The correct temperature is obtained through a heat pad you warm up to keep the sample within human urine temperature range. Obviously that human error in this, but the product gives you the tools to do the job.
So on the surface it all looks good, and you will still see a lot of positive reviews, even quite recent ones, out there. People claim it works, but what's the truth?
Lab Test Results: Synthetix5 Fail?
Anecdotally, one of my friends used Synthetix5 for an employee urine drug test last year and failed. He is no fool and has done it before, so I know it was at the correct temperature and that the sample was in good condition, but it still failed.
When he got the call to say his sample been rejected and that he had to retake the test, that gave him a clue as to what was wrong, and it certainly does me.
The evidence seems to suggest that you will get a Synthetix5 lab tests fail more nowadays because the better labs out there are now testing for the presence of something called biocide.
Biocide is present in a lot of fake urine products, in fact I reckon about 90% of them. It's used to preserve the product and give it a longer shelf life.
It never used to be a problem simply because it wasn't something the testing labs looked for at all.
Why I Can't Recommend Synthetix5
So I think it's clear why I can't recommend this product, when it looks like you are going to fail if you use it for a Synthetix5 Labcorp or Quest diagnostics drug test.
I'm guessing that if Labcorp have cottoned onto this then you can bet your bottom dollar that Quest Diagnostics also have, and as these two labs do a huge percentage of the everyday employee drug testing in the USA, that's a lot of people being set up to fail.
Which means that Synthetix5 failing you is a high possibility now and exactly why I can't recommend it.
In fact I'd go as far to say that you would be nuts to use Synthetix5 with this growing evidence of samples containing biocide getting busted.
Synthetix5 Fake Urine Alternatives That Work
The bottom line here is that it's not just positive Synthetix5 reviews flying in the face of the evidence that worry me, it's most synthetic urine reviews that worry me.
The reason for this is that I've been tested several times and used two different brands in the past couple of years and they've passed each time.
So I can't look beyond Sub Solution and Quick Fix as a recommendation for anyone.
And it's not just me, my friends have used those brands as well and it's been a pass each time for them as well.
Look at forums and product reviews as well, they are all positive, positive, positive.
Neither of them contain biocide that I'm aware of, in fact I know for a fact Sub Solution is marketed as one of the only brands out there that doesn't contain biocide as a preservative.
As long as you keep the sample at the right temperature, and Sub Solution especially is great for this as it comes with heat activation powder which gets it's the right temperature and keeps it there, and as long as the urine sample drug test is unsupervised, then you are as good as home and dry.
But there's another side the story, which is that the friend of mine who failed using Synthetix5 recently got in touch me to tell me he had another test coming up.
He was terrified of using any brand of synthetic urine after getting busted before.
So I instead advised him to get a bottle of Rescue Cleanse 32oz.
It's a detox drink, the best there is. You drink it about an hour before you leave submit your sample, and it does a brilliant job of masking drug metabolites, the toxins that the drug labs pick up in your sample.
Again, don't go for any brand of detox drink, I always recommend Rescue Cleanse, or Mega Clean if you can't get hold of it.
Following instructions closely and you'll stand a great chance of submitting a clean sample.
Synthetix5 Reviews: conclusion
But at the end of this negative Synthetix5 review, I have to say fake urine is still the best chance you have of passing a drug test, as long as it's high quality, comes with heat activator, contains urea, uric acid, its balanced for PH, specific gravity and of course doesn't contain biocide.

Review: Chance The Rapper - Acid Rap
byNICK McGOURTY
"Oh, Weezy?" my roommate inquired when I put on Chance the Rapper's newest release Acid Rap. I told him this wasn't the case, but I didn't judge his hasty comparison; Chance comes in "yeah-ing" and "we back-ing" like it's "Let The Beat Build" 2. As the mixtape slides on from the opener, it's as if Chance realizes being pinned a neo-Lil Wayne isn't the most astute of PR moves, and impresses with his own lyrically nimble and melodic flow. Acid Rap is a road trip mixtape. You're headed due south, the weather is beautiful and only slated to get nicer. Just like the road trip, what starts as a good time only gets better as you get further from home. Chance is driving, you're in the front seat, and I have my feet up in the back. Here guys, put this on your tongue, put the top down and turn this up.
Boom. Pupils huge. "Good Ass Intro" (which is good ass named) hooks the sides of your mouth and you can't help but smile as Chance manically pumps you up for the trip. The syncopated, chugging beat throws you off for a second, wait weird, but you like it. Green Bay Packers, wait, Weezy? Nope. Chance! On "Pusha Man," Chance tells us about all the positive changes in his life since his fateful suspension inspired #10Days, his first Mixtape. Chance's dealer has the best stuff, the girls love him, he's made it. You're thinking, "Chance is the man!", when you look over and Chance's face has fallen, the music cuts out and Pusha Man has a dark flip side. The trip has gone bad, and demons are momentarily abound.
Where Chance is from isn't the sun splashed party he's been talking about. In fact it's the opposite. Matt Lauer and Katie Couric, the media spawned symbols of justice and truth are nowhere to be seen, and in their absence is left a "[prayer] for a safer hood", attainable once Chance's finances are finally in order. We realize Chances escapist behavior may be based in something deeper than merely youthful partying. Chance's lament is fleeting, however, and he quickly gets back to doing what he does best: lifting the spirits of those around him.
Fellow Chicagoan, Vic Mensa drops in for a verse on the funky and smoky "Cocoa Butter Kisses," and thank god he announces his arrival ("Twista!") lest we be confused as to who else it could possibly be. "Juice" will be a live-show crowd pleaser with an Odd Future-esque yell-hook ["Juice! (Juice!)"]. Your girlfriend will throw her hands in the air and proclaim her love for the Childish Gambino co-starred, "Favorite Song" and say, "Oh this is the one with that guy from Community!" at any Chance festival appearances in the near future. The funked out bass line on "Nana," accompanied by the always awesome, always food conscious, Action Bronson, make up for the semi-obnoxious, taunting chorus taken from the title (but maybe that was on purpose, haters!). As a matter of fact, Action Bronson's verse of Rick Pitino comparisons and Japanese lesbians ("With my hair slicked back, I look like Rick Pitino / 3 Japanese dykes in my El Camino") is the best guest feature on the mixtape.
Regal horns and Ab Soul's clever potty verse on "Smoke Again", which I've deemed the album's biggest grower (a song that seems like nothing special with a first listen), lead into the somber, atmospheric and nostalgic "Acid Rain". Chance reflects on a better past with "diagonal grilled cheeses / and back when Mike Jackson was still Jesus," and pays his respect to a dead friend. "Acid Rain," like the second half of "Pusha Man", showcases a more self-aware and sensitive side of Chance, and proves he's capable of more than party-starting bangers.
Unfortunately, "Acid Rain" is overshadowed by the mixtape's crown jewel in "Chain Smoker." "Chain Smoker" is the song you want on when the road trip is over. You're pulling up to your destination and the cabin you rented looks even more epic than it did in the pictures. The three timing changes of the beat, from verse to chorus to bridge, are infectious, and Chance is completely right when saying "This part right here, right now / right here, this part my shit." That part is absolutely the shit. You can almost see Chance in the studio yelling over the bridge with a manic smile on his face and bleary eyes. Oh, and I'm glad someone else is still shamelessly spinning Channel Orange a whole year after its release.
Chance is at his best when he's working his pipes on "Interlude (That's Love)", the glorious two and a half minute mixtape centerpiece. Chance's unique delivery (listen to him pronounce Vicodin on "Chain Smoker"), and his fearless and irreverent rhymes are refreshing despite a sneaking suspicion that his style isn't completely original. I'm also willing to cut him some slack due the fact that Acid Rap begs to be played while drinking in your favorite park on the most beautiful day this summer. The release timing couldn't be better. And maybe it's just that: Acid Rap is the summer action blockbuster of mixtapes, where the audience need not dig much deeper than the surface to enjoy the best of what the production has to offer. That isn't to say there aren't moments on the mixtape where Chance discusses some very real topics, there are, but these moments are smothered amongst the bubblegum, bounce, and just plain fun of the rest. So with the dawn of summer, I'm in no hurry to put Acid Rap on the shelf, but I'll have to reevaluate Acid Rap's staying power this coming fall. Who's even thinking that far ahead though? For now, you can find me in the park with my Jambox and Acid Rap on repeat. [B+]

Former President George H.W. Bush remains in a Houston hospital on Christmas Day after experiencing shortness of breath two days ago. Family spokesman Jim McGrath tells Highlight Hollywood late on Thursday that the 90-year-old Bush remained at Houston Methodist Hospital. McGrath said Bush is "still doing well," but did not offer details.
McGrath previously said Bush was hospitalized Tuesday evening as a precaution.
Bush is the oldest living former American president. He suffers from a form of Parkinson's disease that has forced him to rely on a motorized scooter or wheelchair. But he's also skydived on at least three of his birthdays since leaving the White House, including a tandem jump for his 90th birthday in June.

What to Know
- Dec. 16 for Dana Point and Ventura; Dec. 16 and 17 for Newport Beach
- Free to see
- Times vary, but arriving early, before sundown, is a good bet
When we visualize the shimmery holiday boats that sail in many California harbors come the second and third weekends of December — and visualize we often do, especially in the toastier days of August — we tend to picture the picturesque site from our vantage point on the shore.
For that's where most people stand to see the bulb-lined, decoration-pretty show, an on-the-water line-up of vessels absolutely blanketed in blinky, wondrous glimmer.
Consider, though, seeing the shimmer from out in the ocean, looking in at the land. What must our whale friends, and the seals, and the gulls, think of all of this over-a-top-a-tude that sails near the shore each December?
The Scene
What to do, where to go and what to see
Do the denizens of the ocean wonder at our human whimsy, our festive fun, or why a bunch of singing people on a yacht are all dressed like Santa?
Ask the next gull or seal you encounter for their opinion on the merry matter, but, in the meantime, there are a few more boat-stravaganzas to go before the super-festooned canoes and kayaks and dinghies sail off for another year.
The 43rd Annual Dana Point Harbor Boat Parade of Lights glides on Saturday, Dec. 16, and the theme for 2017 is as cape-tastic as they come: A Superhero Holiday. Best keep an eye out for odes to favorite characters and stories while watching the boats go by.
In Ventura, the 41st Annual Ventura Harbor Parade of Lights will cruise around the harbor on Saturday, Dec. 16. A carnival and marketplace is happening earlier in the day, and groups will be raising money for fire relief. Stop by and give some support to our friends in the area, all while enjoying the long-running tradition.
And if you've seen every Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade since the boat parade began, well, count 'em up: You've watched it 108 times. We're in year 109, so best keep the count going, for your own personal record, but even if you haven't watched it from the beginning, that's cool: This is your moment to see one of the best-known boat processions around. It delights (and lights the night) through Sunday, Dec. 17.
And while Dec. 16-17 is the last major weekend of 2017 for our major SoCal boat parades, do keep in mind that boat companies up and down the coast are still taking ticketed passengers out to admire the Christmas lights on land.
Check with your favorite harbor cruiser to see if and when they're running as the close of December draws near.

2Toms is Proud to Announce Our Partnership with:
2Toms and Race Guards are on a mission to prevent injuries
on the Race Course!
What is Race Guards you might ask?
Race Guards provide in-race first aid for athletic events throughout the country with a focus on running and cycling races, triathlons and endurance events. Race Guards is comprised of volunteers trained in CPR, AED and First Aid who are committed to assisting race participants with any medical or physical support need in a race. They work in concert with the medical director and medical support team at the events to provide medical support from start to finish.
Founder Andy Voggenthaler, an endurance sports enthusiast for over 20 years, has seen a lot of injured and fatigued runners along the way. It was his stopping to help a fellow racer who later passed away that started him thinking about how he could help which is how Race Guards started ensuring that CPR/1st Aid trained (often medical professionals) staff is on the course, running right alongside those who need them – wherever they are along the course.
Voggenthaler, a San Diego resident, originally tested the idea in March 2012 at the Finish Chelsea's Run in San Diego. Sent out in teams, Race Guards paced the race with the runners so that help was right there when needed. Thirteen runners were assisted by the EMT's, physician assistants, and doctors who volunteered during that initial race. "The interesting thing that happened at that race was that the Race Guards were all so enthusiastic and excited to have helped," said Voggenthaler. Read the full interview here
