Obama: Presidential Escape Walkthrough
Created by baxben7March 18, 2011, 12:19 pm
Poor Obama kidnapped by evil bag headed people. But have no fear I will tell you what to do to save Obama. First off you start out in a chair tied up. Simply click on the door and push the mouth button. A guard will come him. Ask him if he will give you the bench. click the bench and choose the fist button. Obama will flip the bench into the air and knock off a pipe. Click the broken pipe that is connected to the wall and choose the fist button. Obama will jump into the wall and free himself. Now pick up everything on the floor by clicking on it and choosing the fist button. Now that you have the bench click it in your inventory and put it on top of the door. Click on the door and choose the mouth button. Call the guard in and he will get knocked out. Take his rifle so he can't use it anymore. In the next room there will be a black board, a light switch, and a safe. Click the light switch and choose the fist button. The lights will go out and obama will say something. Click on the flash light and then click the black board. You will see arrows write these down and then go to the safe. Use the arrows on the safe to get the paper, hammer and cell phone out of the safe. While the lights are out combine the flash light and the piece of paper together and you will see numbers. Write both of the numbers down and go to the next room. Use the cell phone and call morpheous. Tell him you need the sunglasses. He will give you the sun glasses. Put them on and go into the next room. In this room guards will shoot at them so click on the bullets when the hand shows up. (You must have the sunglasses or you will die) After this use the hammer that you took from the safe and whack the guards. Now that they are knocked out take the key and go into the next room. Obama will tell you he can't fly or something like that. So you must go back into the room with the safe. Click the key and then click the door. When you go into the door you will see E.T. Simply click the broken pipe in your inventory and then click the chair. (If this does not work click the chair and click the fist button) ET will be free. Click on the bike and choose the fist button. Then click ET and choose the fist button. Now head outside into the cell phone reception area and call trinity. Tell her you need a bike for flying with ET. She will give you the bike. Now go to the next room and then the room after that and choose the bike from you inventory. Make sure you have combined ET and the bike together. Now you will fly away but you must avoid evil Bush bugs. Simply avoid them and get back to the white house.

Happy Taco Tuesday, my friends! (Although I honestly can't say that without thinking of the Lego Movie. Proof that my four year old son has requested it for movie night one too many times.) I'm sneaking these Slow Cooker Hoisin Chili Chicken Tacos in just under the wire. My days are now flooded with basketball practices, swim practice, rock climbing classes, volunteering at the girls' school and anything else that is thrown my way. It's absolutely slow cooker season as I attempt to get dinner on the table for the six of us without hitting a drive-thru instead. And I'm patting myself on the back as we've gotten really good about avoiding that pitfall since our move to a healthier and more active environment.
These Slow Cooker Hoisin Chili Chicken Tacos were the brainchild of my friend Kelly Kwok, a fellow food blogger at Life Made Sweeter. Her book, The Asian Slow Cooker was released today and I was lucky enough to snag an early copy that I've already littered with sticky notes on recipes I can't wait to put into rotation at our house. This recipe was easy enough that I started it between basketball games last weekend and came home to enjoy it after the second game of the day. So incredibly easy. One of those toss everything into the slow cooker and call it done. Who doesn't love those type of recipes?
I obviously do as I'm no stranger to slow cooker taco recipes! My Slow Cooker Lentil and Brown Rice Tacos are one of my absolute favorites and my Slow Cooker Honey Mustard Pork Tacos with Candied Bacon is like having all the good things wrapped up in a single tortilla. Total winner.
I made just two tweaks to Kelly's original recipe so that it suited our family a bit better. The original recipe yielded only four servings so I doubled it to insure that everyone could get their fill – our eight year old daughter ate four tacos! I also upped the amount of cabbage and carrot slaw as the crunch of the vegetables is such a great contrast to the succulent chicken. Plus who ever said that there was such a thing as too many veggies? No one.
SIDE NOTE: If you're looking for an amazing slow cooker, I can't recommend the one I chatted about in this Slow Cooker Pork Roast and Cherries recipe enough. I mean, the fact that it's non-stick and is a breeze to clean is amazing in and of itself, but it also will brown, simmer and steam as well. I have three slow cookers and this is the only one that has earned residency in my small kitchen's limited cabinet real estate.
These Slow Cooker Hoisin Chili Chicken Tacos are an amazingly easy weeknight meal and the perfect way to keep Taco Tuesday the best menu of the week. Blistered corn tortillas are wrapped around succulent, Asian barbecue spiced chicken and a crunchy cabbage and carrot slaw. Make dinner even easier by letting everyone assemble their own at the table!
In one meal, our family of six consumed 17 – SEVENTEEN! – of these Slow Cooker Hoisin Chili Chicken Tacos. If that isn't a ringing endorsement that you need to be running to the kitchen to get these on your dinner table, I don't know what is!
Every Tuesday needs a taco of some sort. If you're looking for ideas for next week, you might try this comfort food mashup Taco Pasta Salad, these amazing Taco Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers or for an ultimate appetizer, these Bean and Cheese Taco Bites.

Nothing in this world is more important than friends. It's like Phoebe once told Joey (FRIENDS) "Girlfriends and boyfriends come and go, but friendship is for life."
"You can't live without friends", says Captain Cool M.S Dhoni. In a recent event sponsored by McDowell's, Indian Cricket team's leader M.S Dhoni talked about friendship, about it's importance in every individual's life.
Same goes for the Caribbean hottie and RCB & West Indies cricket team's star player Chris Gayle. Check out the video below as he reminisces about his time in the pitch with Virat Kohli.

Early science fiction writers were fond of imagining that flying discs would be the favorite interplanetary runabout for little green men to soar throughout the cosmos. I suppose it could be true since the flying disc is actually an airworthy design concept (Frisbee, anyone?). Earth-based aviation history has seen many types of flying discs come and go--minus the warp drives and tractor beams, of course. The Vought V-173 and Sack AS-6 are diverse variations on the theme, although neither garnered much success. More recently, a group of engineers at Aerobat Aviation has taken a fresh look at the flying disc and are creating designs that they think will revolutionize aviation and aerospace.
The Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Geobat
About 20 years ago, Georgia-based inventor, Jack Jones, set out to build a better flying disc. He found that by removing some of the rear area in the disc, his designs exhibited much greater stability than a pure disc footprint. Based on his findings, he developed the Geobat design and earned a US patent for his efforts.
The Geobat is somewhat of a paradox of traditional aircraft wisdom. You get the benefits you would expect from a disc shape, but also other properties that are less intuitive. Without getting too technical, let's look at a few elements of the Geobat and see what makes it special. If you can look past the legalese, the patent is very thorough in its explanation of the Geobat's configuration and resulting performance attributes.
Any kind of compact airframe is typically advantageous because it allows for a lighter structure while still having adequate strength. The aerodynamic forces on a circular flying structure such as a disc (or the Geobat) are quite evenly distributed and permit engineers take full advantage of that bantamweight premise. Lighter is almost always better when it comes to airplanes. All other things being equal, a lighter airplane lands slower and flies faster than its meatier twin. The list of advantages continues.
An unmodified disc would be considered a low aspect ratio (wingspan: chord) flying wing. This type of airplane would typically exhibit high maneuverability at the cost of aerodynamic stability (a common trade-off). While the Geobat still has the circular outer profile of a disc, the cutout serves to divide it into three discrete wings: the forward section, the rear section, and the sides which bind them together. In that way, the Geobat is a hybrid of a flying disc and more conventional aircraft.
What makes the Geobat planform most appealing is that it retains the compact structure that allows it to be built lightly, but its inherent stability belies its low aspect ratio appearance. In short, you get the weight-saving benefits of a disc coupled with stability that is on par with standard aircraft. This sort of aeronautical compromise is often hard to achieve by manipulating only the planform.
Despite all of its potential benefits, the Geobat concept sat dormant for several years, at least as a man-carrying design. However, the RC community took notice of the Geobat and found the same stabilizing properties and speed range that Jones claimed. The design's predictable flight performance and offbeat appearance earned the Geobat a loyal, cult-like following that continues to thrive at flying fields and on internet forums.
The Good Idea That Wouldn't Die
In 2010 there was renewed interest in the Geobat's commercial potential. Aerobat Aviation Incorporated was formed with the intent of developing Jones' design into a wide range of vehicles. While the Aerobat team envisions man-carrying designs in many sizes, they decided to first develop a series of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Their three circular drones have diameters of 22 inches, 1 meter, and 2 meters.
I spoke with Aerobat Aviation's CEO, Travis Shannon, and he explained some of the UAV-specific advantages that his group sees in the circular planform they adopted. One key point that Shannon stressed is that the lifting-body design of their UAVs packs a lot of wing area into a relatively small footprint. This translates into the ability to hoist a heavier payload and/or provide longer flight times than similarly-sized conventional UAVs.
Shannon also noted that the compact layout of Aerobat's UAVs allows them to be transported and readied for flight more easily than many other UAV platforms. For instance, the 22 inch-diameter model can be carried in a backpack and launched with virtually no field assembly required. Shannon feels that such rapid deployment capabilities offer a significant selling point to both the military and civilian emergency response agencies.
UAVs in the field take a beating. In fact, most small UAVs are considered expendable. During testing of their models, Aerobat has found that without conventional cantilevered wings jutting out, their UAVs are surprisingly resilient. Shannon notes, "They tend to roll when they crash." Even their 54 pound, two meter prototype has seen several hard knocks during its testing regimen, but none have delivered a KO punch. In fact, this mostly carbon fiber ship was flown on the same day that I spoke with Shannon.
Aerobat's engineers hope to take advantage of their UAVs' circular outline by integrating a mobile platform of cameras and sensors. In this fashion, a single package of sensors can continuously reposition itself anywhere along the perimeter of the UAV to gain the best vantage point for whatever it's looking at. This would virtually eliminate blind spots while avoiding the mass and volume penalties of utilizing multiple cameras.
Between the three sizes of UAVs, Shannon feels that Aerobat has a wide range of potential drone duties covered. The team is also developing proprietary autopilot devices to further enhance their capabilities. Currently, Aerobat is focused on attaining FAA certification for their designs.
Get In and Buckle Up
While Shannon and the Aerobat Aviation crew see much potential in the Geobat as UAVs, they also perceive extraordinary scalability in the planform. Next up the size ladder would be a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) called the FS-7. LSAs are a relatively new breed of private aircraft recognized by the FAA. They are a notch above Ultralights in terms of weight and complexity, but have far less overhead and pilot scrutiny than the Pipers and Cessnas that presently fill the general aviation ranks.
The FS-7 makes sense as a LSA because its intended flight performance would cater to the breed of recreational pilots who are flocking to buy them. Recall the Geobat concept's light structure and resulting low stall speed. When you apply that to an LSA, pilots are able to land at a slower, safer speed (LSAs must stall at 45 knots or less). The natural aerodynamic stability of the design would also come in to play, making the LS-7 approachable for less experienced pilots. Furthermore, the compact circular footprint could pay dividends for LSA owners looking to save a buck (hangar space isn't cheap).
By far the most extraterrestrial-appearing concept in Aerobat's portfolio is the Sultan Jet. This biz-jet would utilize a single jet engine on an upsized Geobat airframe. Perhaps the expected wide speed envelope of the Sultan Jet would allow executives to fly in to smaller regional airports (with relatively short runways) without sacrificing the top-end speed coveted in Lear Jets and the like.
Looking Skyward
Aerobat Aviation's website illustrates many of the large-scale projects that they have visualized. All are centered on the Geobat planform. One rendering shows a line of conventional jets astride their Geobat-themed counterparts. Even that does not encompass the full scope of the company's ambitions. Shannon revealed that they have even worked on design studies for a super-sized reusable spacecraft that would have unprecedented payload volume.
There is no doubt that Aerobat Aviation has grandiose visions for the Geobat. Yet, they also have numerous supporters and interested parties who think they are on to something big. It has been said that the Geobat planform could be the secret ingredient for the next significant jump in aircraft performance. Time will tell if that prediction rings true. I just wonder how the little green visitors are going to take it when we tell them they did it wrong.

text: 2012 is my summer of love-of pika love! I've had unprecedented encounters this year with the little critters as regular readers of this blog know. I'm sharing photos from yet another amazing pika fest at Gaylor Lakes in Yosemite yesterday. Truly, I think we need to name the pika the state of California's cutest animal. These little rock rabbit are just such a wonderful animal to encounter in the high country and I love being greeted by their cheerful chirps.

Seven Kingdoms Lottery
Clover posted a topic in Blackhorse PubSo we had an in-house lottery, but due to war and the like it kind of died. Do you want it back? Would you actually play it? Tell me your feelings. Here is a post from Val's initial introduction. If we bring it back we can make changes, but the way he has it set up now is pretty good. "Hello SK! Today I introduce the lottery system. Lottery numbers will only be chosen once a month on the 1st. Here's the link: Lottery System Current Status: Status Here's how it works: You can buy tickets for $5,000 each. Deposit the amount equal to the number of tickets purchased (each entry is 1 ticket). You have 5 numbers to choose and a bonus. They are as follows: 1: 1-10, 2: 1-20, 3: 1-30, 4: 1-40, 5: 1-50, Bonus: 1-20 The payouts increase as more entries are added. The initial base payouts are per each correct based on probably chance of correct answer as follows: 1: $2,500 2: $10,000 3: $22,500 4: $40,000 5: $62,500 The formula for each is: (250+entries)/(chance of correct) Bonus will multiply winnings by 2. The maximum possible BASE is: $42,194,971.17 This increases fast as more entries are placed."


text: This is waaaaay overdue, but better late than never right? Lake Tahoe holds a special place in my heart because we used to head up here to ski with my family when I was younger. I hadn't been back in soooo long, and I was really excited to see it again. This time, I was with a few friends, most of whom haven't skied or snowboarded ever in their lives. Let's just say the experience was nothing short of hilarious! Also, just take a look at that gorgeous scenery behind me. All I could think of at that moment was- IS THIS REAL EVEN? and OMG ITS FREEZING. LOL Enjoy the video and don't forget to leave me a thumbs up!

[This article discusses the meaning of consumer price index; the formula used for linking the conversion Factor Base 2001=100 to Base 1960=100 and method of arriving eligible rate of DA].
Dearness Allowance (DA) is a cost of living allowance paid to Government employees Public sector employees (PSU) and their pensioners to mitigate the impact of inflation on them. This allowance is calculated on the basis of increase or decrease in All India Consumer Price Index for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW). The Consumer Price Index is the estimation of price changes in a representative basket of goods and services, during a period which is pegged into index numbers.
DA calculation formula:
The Government of India, Ministry of Labour and Employment, (Labour Bureau), releases Consumer Price Index at Base year 2001=100 for Industrial Workers (CPI-IW), on the last day of every month. (Example: On 31st July the CPI of June will be announced). Banks are using the same series of consumer price index; linking the conversion Factor Base (year) 2001=100 to Base 1960=100 (Conversion factor from the year 2001 to the year 1960 is 'index no ×4.63×4.93').
For example; CPI-IW announced by Labour Bureau for Jan 2016, Feb 2016, March 2016 is respectively 269,267, and 268. The above points are converted to base 1960=100 through the following conversion factors.
|Jan 2016
|Feb 2016
|March 2016
|269×4.63×4.93= 6140
|267×4.63×4.93= 6094
|268×4.63×4.93= 6117
In terms of X BPS/Joint Notes, 4440 points of DA was merged with the 'pay' and DA rate was fixed at 0.10% per DA slab.
Hence, the revised CPI numbers after merger of 4440 points with basic salary;
|Jan 2016
|Feb 2016
|March 2016
|6140 – 4440 = 1700
|6094 – 4440 = 1654
|6117 – 4440 =1677
Therefore, the average CPI for the Quarter (Jan 2016 to March 2016) is 1677 i.e. (1700+1654+1677÷ 3=1677)
For converting above points into slabs, we have to divide 1677 by 4 which is equal to 419 slabs. The DA rate is @ 0.10% per slab as decided in the X BPS.
So, DA percentage on 419 slabs@ 0.10%= 419 × 0.10% = 41.90 %
Thus, the bank employees/officers received DA @ 41.90% on their 'pay' for the period of May '16 to July '16
Note: 'Pay' includes allowances eligible for DA. While determining DA payable on 'pay', decimals from third place may be ignored.

Necessity isn't always the mother of invention.
Consider the Dog Powered Scooter, a kooky contraption that involves strapping your dog into a rig attached to your scooter or bike. You still control the steering (otherwise, dog will inevitably lead you to squirrels and other dogs) but the dog does most of the work.
If you are into the idea, this probably means you are lazy.
The brain pup of Oregon-based Mark Schuette is similar to sledding only to the extent that dogs (up to four) double as a motor. But in this case, they are positioned slightly behind the vehicle, not in front of it. Also, unlike sledding, you can do it in the summer on a bike path; just be prepared for an onslaught of stink eye. You can read more about how it works here (warning: the writing contains several typos and the All Caps text reads like an over-caffeinated instructional). And in fact, it may even be that "practical urban mushing" (as Schuette calls it) requires the owner to work in tandem with dog.
Defenders (perhaps the ones that have uploaded videos to YouTube ) might insist that dogs like and need activity. They might also maintain that the scooter rigging isn't all that different from a leash, the main difference being that the dogs are now forced to pick up the pace.
Still, is riding a scooter so boring that people would prefer to delegate the physical exertion to their dogs?
Schuette insists on his site that the rigging is safe and comfortable for the dogs (there's shock absorbent padding) but he lists several safety precautions including this one: "These units are not recommended for couch potato or overly spooky dogs." [sic] Poor spooky dogs.
Now that he has sold "hundreds of DogPowered units in use around the world," Schuette notes that he is working on making the device compatible with other animals. Because a wild boar-powered scooter would be a great follow up, wouldn't it?

This is America
Okay, not really, but this is definitely the essence of an American fair. Home of everything fried. Mark and our friends end up trying fried cheesecake.
We spent our past Sunday at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa and had a great time. This was Mark and my first time to go and we went with the company of our friends. There are a ton of things to do there ranging from rides, to games, to performances, to exhibits, and to, of course, food. The food is what you expect it to be: giant sized BBQ, fried everything, and sweets galore. We mainly played games and ate and ate. Mark was determined to win a giant banana at one of the basketball games, but he couldn't make a basket. One day, babe! You'll get it. At the end, we watched a hypnotist show and Mark was chosen to volunteer. I was laughing my head off the whole time he was up there. Before the show, he kept saying how he was a non-believer and even now, he still keeps denying the fact that it all happened. Unfortunately, he "woke up" in the middle and he was escorted off the stage. I was so sad! I really wanted to watch him do the rest of the show. Oh well, at least I got to see him dance and do the macarena, speed macarena to win $1 million.
I told myself before we left to not drink a lot (bad idea) since I didn't want to use porta-potties, but I was extremely happy and relieved that they had clean, real bathrooms. REAL BATHROOMS! My hair was so gross by the end of the day. I don't understand how girls can have nice hair by the end of the day after sweating, BBQ smoke, and all these fair aromas all up in their hair.
And look at Mark with his giant western hot dog… soooo happy. He even has drool and mayo on his face! I'm also not really sure why and how that 2 foot sausage on a stick ended up on my camera…
Porto's Bakery
We visited Porto's Bakery over the weekend and let me tell you, this is the best bakery I've been to so far in my life. It's beyond good. Like heaven in bread form good. Mark had never tried Porto's until his roommate brought back some bread and he was hooked. We made plans to stock up on cheese rolls for finals week, since we were (more like he was, since I don't have finals!) going to need fuel.
There are three locations: Burbank, Glendale, and Downey. We went to the location in Downey, since it's the closest one to us, after our lunch. Bakeries are some of my favorite places, so you wouldn't believe how excited and happy I was once we stepped into the store. Bread for days.
There are two different sides where you can order: the cafe and the bakery. The first time I had ever tried Porto's I ordered something from the cafe and I didn't find it to live up to the hype. Then I realized that I was supposed to order their baked goods! I'm sure they have really delicious sandwiches and ordered something that was only okay.
Don't let the long lines deter you! It goes by really quickly. They have come up with an efficient system that moves the line. I think the only problem might be, if you don't know what you want, you feel kind of rushed to order. It's also hard to look at all the bread because there are a lot of other people looking at the bread and trying to order. Mark panicked and ended up ordering potato balls instead of cheese rolls because he couldn't think of the name. When we panic while ordering, we always end up ordering something that we didn't want. That is something we both need to work on…
What's my recommendation? The cheese rolls. I'd order 50 if I could. I just wouldn't know what to do with all of them. The cheese rolls are amazing sugary, cream cheesy goodness. I don't understand how bread could be so good! Writing about this is making me crave the rolls again. Good thing we have three more!
Please excuse my bread fangirling! We also got a guava cheese roll, a popular item at Porto's, apple strudels, and chocolate croissants which are extremely good. If you love chocolate, I'd go for the croissants.
The bread is pretty inexpensive. Most of the items are under $1. I'd love to give you more recommendations, but these are the only breads I've tried so far. There are so many different baked goods to choose from! In the pictures above, those are only two sections out of about 6 or 7 sections of bread. There's A LOT of baked goods to choose from. If you have the chance, you need to visit this bakery! You won't be disappointed!
A question for you: are there any foods that you can fangirl/fanboy about? Off the top of my head for me are the cheese rolls and Bayou potatoes.
Getty Fail: Another Trip to LA
On this Memorial Day weekend, Sunday was supposed to be our super awesome and fun day travelling. It was still awesome and fun, but it wasn't how we pictured it. We've been wanting to go to the Getty Villa and after our first attempt to visit the museum, we were determined to go again. We finally had a chance over this weekend since we had more time.
We made our way to Pacific Palisades, knowing exactly where we needed to go. We didn't want to end up in some random part of LA like last time. This time, we made it! We only had to pay for parking, then we were in! NOPE. We didn't know that you needed to make reservations to get into the museum. The past times that Mark and I have been there, we didn't recall having to make reservations, so we just left for the museum. The guy checking the reservations before getting to the booth to pay for parking was pretty mean. Come on dude, be a little nicer. Because of you, I don't even want to make the effort to go back there again.
Our conversation went a little like this:
Guy: Let me see your reservation.
Me: Uh… we don't have one.
Guy: Why don't you have one?
Me: (Thinking: We need a reservation????? Mark, we needed one?) We didn't know we needed one…
Guy: You didn't know you needed one? Did you talk to anyone who works here?
Me: Yes, last time when we tried to come here.
Guy: So you're telling me that someone isn't doing their job? They didn't tell you that you needed a reservation?
Me: ……………….
After that… ;AFJKLF JAKEJ F;AKLEJ F. Let me keyboard smash. Seriously though, we drove about 50 miles just to get there and you have to act like this to me? He basically told us to exit and Mark and I were speechless. Did we really just drive 50 miles here to get turned away, AGAIN? I know we should have looked at the website before we left, but we tend to just go on a whim to places without looking up details. I think we may need to change that from now on.
After that, we were pretty sad, AGAIN. I need to emphasize how this happened to us before. I guess the Getty Villa and us weren't meant to be. We decided to go to Little Tokyo to eat and to visit the Japanese American National Museum since we weren't going to let this ruin our day
I decided that since we were in the area and since we wanted to visit a museum, that we make a stop at the JANM. I've been here about three other times, but I thought it would be nice to visit with Mark. He had never been here before and he learned a lot. This museum is really interesting to me since I can relate to the exhibits. The other exhibits that were there are the time were a Hapa exhibit and a gallery of artists that focused their art on defying Asian stereotypes.
The main exhibit of JANM shows the history of Japanese Americans during WWII. The majority of the exhibit focuses on the internment camps. As part Japanese American, I have grandparents and great aunts and uncles that were directly affected during WWII, so visiting this museum always makes me think about them and the history in my family.
We spent about an hour walking through the museum and then decided to eat dinner. We walked about the Japanese Village Plaza before going to eat at Daikokuya again. We ate there the last time we visited Little Tokyo and had an amazing time. I felt like this time the ramen was even better than before. The broth was perfect, the noodles were perfect, and the egg, loved it! This time we weren't sitting under the air conditioner so my noodles stayed warm longer. This whole weekend, Mark and I have been eating amazing food and we couldn't be happier.
To avoid being charged for parking, we went to a market and bought Japanese candies to get our parking ticket validated. I think my favorite candies are those mushrooms and the choco strawberry candies. Mmmm so good! For some reason, we were still charged $10, even with the validation. Uhh… okay… I'm pretty sure we were ripped off because the maximum you could be charged is $10. The guy's explanation didn't make any sense whatsoever! We should have challenged what he was saying, I mean, we were already turned away by the other guy! The only thing is that I'm not a confrontational person. Bye bye $10 :(
Despite the bumps in our day, we still had a lot of fun together and eating great food. It was nice to come home early to be with our kitty and have game night. Game night has basically become a regular event. Mark's BFF is here almost every day and he always brings the board games with him. Next time we go to LA, we are going to set our sights on visiting other locations because driving that far to only be turned away kind of crushes your spirit.
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

The six selected plays/playwrights for November 11 are:
Can You Keep a Secret by Allie Costa, directed by Sylvia Blush
Mass Effect by Forrest Hartl, directed by Casey Stangl
Gentlemen's Pact by Karen Howes, directed by Jim Kleinmann
The Games That We Play by Thomas J. Misuraca, directed by Ann-Giselle Spiegler
Otzi by Carolina Rojas Moretti, directed by Peter J. Kuo
A David Lynch Family Christmas by Mark Sherstinsky, directed by Lee Sankowich
Ten days before the designated Monday, a topic is announced and emerging playwrights in the Greater Los Angeles Area have until 2pm the following Tuesday to submit a short script. A panel of judges selects six winners, whose entries are cast over the weekend and then rehearsed with the area's best professional actors and directors in a whirlwind ninety minutes each before being performed as script-in-hand staged readings. Previous topics include "Origin Story", "Sea-Change", "Holiday Spirit", "I Have A Dream...", and last month's "Shutdown".
The mission of PlayGround-LA is to support the development of significant new local voices for the theatre. PlayGround-LA has developed a unique model for identifying and nurturing the best new writers, helping them to build a significant body of original work, and strongly weaving these artists into the family of local theatre professionals. PlayGround pairs early development playwrights with established, professional actors and directors and fosters the artistic relationships that develop.
PlayGround-LA is the first regional expansion of the celebrated Bay Area playwright incubator and theatre community hub, PlayGround(SF). PlayGround was launched in San Francisco in 1994 by co-founders Jim Kleinmann, Brighde Mullins and Denise Shama. In 1996, Kleinmann became PlayGround's first Artistic Director. Since its founding, PlayGround has developed and staged more than 650 original ten-minute plays by 185 Bay Area early-career writers and has commissioned 51 full-length plays by distinguished PlayGround alumni. In the process of staging those works, PlayGround has helped to identify some of the leading emerging writers and, at the same time, has engendered the creation of a true community of theatre artists, bringing together hundreds of local actors, directors and playwrights. For most if not all of the participating writers, PlayGround is the first professional staging their work has received and serves as their introduction into the professional theatre community.
PlayGround's alumni have gone on to win local, national and international honors for their short and full-length work, including recognition at the Humana Festival, Sundance Festival, Bay Area Playwrights Festival, New York International Fringe Festival, Aurora Theatre Company's Global Age Project, and Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Short Play Festival, among others. Directors and actors participating in PlayGround are among some of the most distinguished theatre professionals, regularly working on leading local stages.

Todd Reynolds, as I live and breathe!
I always wondered what happened to that guy from Wedekind's Shakepeare class…I am guessing that you went to Rolling Hills High for a spell–and are the Todd Reynolds that helped me so much 🙂 Isn't it weird what we remember??
So I want to get my kids started muscially–Suzuki? What sayest thou?
All the best,
Todd-I guess this is RHHS/Wedekind's Shakespeare class old-home week. I thought I had heard you would be in the Bay Area with The Books, and was looking for further info when I ran across Carolyn's post.
Sorry I missed you last time we were in NY. We'll be back in June for my daughter to tour Columbia, NYU and Hopkins. (Yes, I have a daughter that age -wrap your mind around that!). Maybe we'll catch up with you then or in SF. Kim (Cretcher) Weber
Is this comment from the Kim Cretcher that I knew at RHHS? Flute player?

12 of the Most Memorable On-Screen Impersonations
Last week, we took a look at a few of Hollywood's stranger casting decisions for previous (and upcoming) biographical films. But with the Oscar-winning Iron Lady out today on DVD and Blu-ray, we thought we might also take a look at some of the more successful actor/biographical subject match-ups—with a particular eye on those that most convincingly embodied the figures they were playing.
Playing a well-known and well-documented actor, musician, or public figure can't be easy, even for the best of actors — they not only have to assemble a serviceable performance in the conventional sense, but must also work up a convincing impersonation. They're playing people that we're used to seeing, whose look and speech have become familiar and distinctive, and must thus be replicated. The great performances in biographical movies must also then transcend the mere imitation, and create a compelling character beyond that. After the jump, we've assembled a dozen of the actors who memorably got into someone else's skin; add your own in the comments.
Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady
AWARDS: Academy Award, BAFTA award, SAG award nomination, Golden Globe
THE CRITICS SAY: "Streep's performance is so true and so uncannily accurate, so full and so complete in its understanding, that she is fascinating every second she is onscreen… Through meticulous study, Streep gets every external detail of Thatcher's expression and movement and then, through some profound gift of intuition, she gets everything else, the thoughts, the inner life, the strengths and limitations, even the unconscious motivations of the character." –Mick LaSalle, The San Francisco Chronicle
WE SAY: Streep's studiousness and skill at mimicry has become so renowned as to provoke something of a backlash these days from those who say she's all technique and no soul. And though she is technically magnificent here — her accent is sharp, her physicality is flawless, and she's equally convincing in middle and old age — she also gives a welcome bit of humanity and insight into the personality of a particularly divisive figure.

Hope this works for you! I've never tried any GU products before (I know, strange!), so I'm looking forward to giving them a test-run. I'm currently an Accel-Gel slave!
I was peppy this morning in spite of waking up at 4 am. I got more restful sleep than I have in a while. The lack of sleep and tired legs made for one cranky person. I heard somewhere that sharing a bed does not make for good sleep, but I beg to differ. Though it could all just be relative. And when will I stop waking up feeling like I've been hit by a bus?
So tomorrow, I am going to attempt a 12-miler. If I finish this distance, which I should, no matter how slowly, I will have done 37 miles this week, which is high for me even whilst training for a marathon. I've been coming along pretty decently out of my two-month injury, though I honestly felt burned yesterday when "The Ukrainian" started his run after me and beat me sometime during mile 5 (of my 6.2 mi run and his 10 mi run). I'm still very much out of shape. Things are coming along better than if I had completely not run during these injurous months, but in many ways, my lungs and legs feel like they are starting over.
Before my next race (half-mar), I'd like to attempt a 16-miler. Post-race, I have a month to get to my 20-miler for the marathon I'm doing on December 6. So the rough plan: run half-marathon, do 15-miler, 18-miler, and 21-miler (the extra mile is for good luck and is optional), with one week cushion in case I miss one. I'm counting on myself not to get injured again. Like a cold, it seems like I've been slammed with one every year, so I am hoping I am immune for now.
I am potentially/most likely running 3 marathons within 6 months, with this being my first, so I'll figure out the logistics of training for the other ones later.

I am writing checklists for a new homebuilt I will be doing the flight testing on. Aircraft has a 40A main alternator and an SD-8 backup alternator. The alternator switch allows either the main or backup alternator to be on and also has an off position. I'm thinking of leaving the switch on the main alternator all the time, except for a test of the SD-8 during the runup. Does anyone see a problem with this plan or should I wait until the load on the electrical system has come down to a certain point before switching to the SD-8? As far as I know the SD-8 will put out whatever it can and any load in excess will simply come from the battery.
Is it reasonable to test the SD-8 every flight or is this something that can be done on a monthly or quarterly basis? Also I have run into a couple pilots recently who start their engines with the alternator off in order to "prevent damage to the alternator during start". I can't remember any mention of this in the AEC. Is there any basis for this? Should I turn the alternator off before shutdown and then on after startup?
I have attached the main electrical system diagram for the aircraft in question.

The two relays and starter contactor should all have diodes just like the battery contactor does. Connect banded end of diodes to positive.
Can the start switch handle the start contactor coil current? Or is the E-123 Relay necessary?
Regarding the SD 20, does anybody know what its output should at 1,000 RPM (engine idle) and also at 2400 RPM Cruise?

Quote: The SD8 is very reliable . . . especially
when held in reserve, It's output at
run-up rpm will be rather limited. If you
run up at 1800 rpm, the SD8 will be turning
~2340 and produce about 4A of output.
Depending on the type and condition of
battery . . . and system loads . . .
you'll need to look closely at
bus voltage to make sure it changes
upward by any observable amount
when turned ON.
Testing ever so often while in-flight
would be easier to do . . . you can also
use the flight test to verify your plan-b
loads such that the battery is not discharged
during the en route phase of flight and
held in reserve for descent, approach
and landing.
The risk of damaging an alternator
or other electrowhizzies by the mismanagemet
of alternator switches during normal operations
is a myth. You may sequence their switching
in any manner that makes sense to you.
Bob . . .
The starter contactor is a B&C S702 and SD-8 relay is included in the PMOV kit so I think the diode is built in as well.
The E-123 relay is not necessary in the current setup but this system was originally designed for P-Mags and the start switch was going to be an S2000 button. I'm guessing that the S2000 needed the relay and when it was replaced with an ACS switch the relay was left in for later conversion.
Thank you all for the replies, I'll just leave the alternator switch on Main all the time since there's no advantage to turning it off for engine start. Once the aircraft is through its test phase we plan on testing the SD-8 on an every 4 months schedule.

The ACS/Bendix/Gerdes key switch will handle
the automotive starter contacter that's fitted
with a supression diode. Many (like the B&C
S702) have the diode built in. If in doubt,
install a second one . . . two are better
than none. The buffer relay is not necessary
but doesn't hurt anything . . . if left in
add the diode to it too as Joe suggests.

Before the band Journey was introduced to Steve Perry, frontman, Robert Fleischman was hired on to take the original lead vocalist role. Going on tour with the band and writing hits like, "Wheel In The Sky," "Winds Of March," and "Anytime," differences in the band started to arise and within a year he moved on. His music career continued on throughout the years joining other bands as well as working as a solo artist.
In 2010, the rock vocalist and songwriter created a band known as, The Sky. A self-titled album was released and three years later "Majestic" was made. This album is far from what Robert Fleischman used to do with ex-Kiss guitarist, Vinnie Vincent. When listening to this album you hear influences of John Lennon in a romantic and mellow setting. Robert Fleischman sings in a very high pitched tone throughout the whole thing and his vocal abilities are just unbelievable.
The band is made up of Ryan Lake, Andre LaBelle, Steve Barber and Brady Cole who showcase their talents with powerful guitars and solid drums. What I like about Robert Fleischman is that he wants each album to sound different. Majestic took a turn for more dreamy and psychedelic melodies. The Sky really embellishes their passion for music by the lyrics and music they create. Like Robert Fleischman said himself, "I didn't care if it rocked, as long as it was a great song, and I think we have that with Majestic. Play it loud!"
These musicians perform lyrically driven ballads that satisfies the listeners ear. Fans of The Sky will enjoy songs like "Breath Away," "Pill," and "So I'll Wait." I would highly recommend giving this album a listen. It's different and that's what I like. Getting taken out of the box of music that I'm used to listening to and transcending it into something that shares new lyrically driven songs that shows the quality of the album. If we're lucky, The Sky will be touring sometime this year and hopefully be making their way here to Florida!

How To Write A Twitter Bio
Posted by Tommy on Feb 27, 2011 in Humor, Social Media | No Comments
Alex Blagg shares with us his 15 top tips for creating the perfect Twitter bio. Just a few of my favorites:
5. If you go out to bars like every night of the week, you're not alcoholic. You're a Foursquare Ambassador.
7. A great way to sound really smart and cool is to combine a vague/abstract word like "Idea" with an impressive or scientific-sounding title or profession. (ex. Idea Architect or Solution Ecologist)
15. Even if you're worth negative-$30,000 and running your entire 'start-up business' out of a Wi-Fi-enabled Denny's booth, you should always list yourself as an "Entrepreneur".
I hope this doesn't hit too close to home for some of my readers :).

Spend one hour with Rochelle Jacobs, Managing Director of June Jacobs Spa Collection, and you'll feel like you can take on anything. Seriously. Fearless is her favorite word and her energy is contagious. In 1999, Rochelle left the finance world (Lehman Brothers, Viacom) to work with her mother, June Jacobs, who had already created Peter Thomas Roth and was just starting to plan her eponymous skincare collection. As a mother-and-daughter duo, they launched the June Jacobs Spa Collection in 2003 and now, 11 years later, it's sold in over 35 countries and their amenities can be found in Hyatt hotels across the world, which means about 12 million people slather on one of her lotions or potions each year. While building her beauty empire, Rochelle also got married, had kids, and got divorced, but her ex is one of her best friends and an excellent dad. They share the responsibilities of raising Jake, 11, and Luke, 10. Here's how this supermom keeps it all together.
PI: How do you balance such a busy work schedule and seeing your boys?
Rochelle: It's not a balance. It's more of a trade-off. You have to decide what's going to win because you can't really do everything. Each day, I figure out where my priorities are. For example, I have this hair show over the weekend, a charity event tonight and a company party for the Hyatt tomorrow night. That means I'll see my kids on Saturday. Normally, I would've only said yes to a little bit of the work stuff, but I'm going to be on spring break with my kids for two weeks and get that quality time. I have no guilt at all. I'll be making it up for them in so many ways. I'm going to be carrying three sets of skis. That's lot of work! Time management is a constant, constant, constant struggle of figuring out the trade-off of the day. I tell my kids, a happy mom is a happy kid and we work together. If something's upsetting them, they'll say "I miss you." That basically means, "Mom, you haven't been doing a great job doing at making me feel loved and cared for." When that happens, I start canceling things right away.
PI: How do you keep calm amidst the craziness?
Rochelle: I remind myself that everything always works out. That is always my thought process. I tried to tell this to my youngest son because he has so much anxiety. I have a lot of anxiety, but at a very young age, the coping mechanism that I used to overcome that was reminding myself that everything always works out. Another big one is thinking, "What's the worst thing that could happen?" I'm fearless. I have always been fearless. If something doesn't work out, you do it again. You get past it and learn something from it.
PI: Your skin is amazing—not surprising, given your job. Do you do a lot to it?
Rochelle: I don't do a lot. My skin is incredibly sensitive, it reacts to everything. I barely wear makeup and I don't even own foundation. I use a creamy cleanser and my Clarisonic Aria, $199, every single morning. I'm obsessed with it. Then I apply our June Jacobs Elastin Collagen Serum, $130. I've been using it all winter because this crazy weather has really dried out my skin.
GIVEAWAY ALERT! We are giving away 10 full-size June Jacobs Elastin Collagen Serums. Want to win? See the bottom of this post for full details.
PI: I can't believe you don't own foundation. How do you have such perfect skin?
Rochelle: I use the June Jacobs Papaya Purifying Enzyme Masque, $62, a natural enzymatic mask, at night. You're supposed to apply a thick layer and leave it on for three to ten minutes, but I put on a really thin layer and just go to sleep without taking it off. Our body balms are also one of my favorites. No matter how rushed I am, I never skip moisturizing because, if not, my skin will burn all day. Given that I've worn boots all winter, I put cream on my feet every single day before I put socks on. At night, I'll put a body balm on my hands or feet, layer a bit of Vaseline on top, then slip on cotton gloves or socks. That really locks in the moisturizer. I wind up taking the socks or gloves off in my sleep but by the time I wake up, there's no residue. Everything just feels super soft.
PI: What kind of makeup do you use since you have such sensitive skin?
Rochelle: I'm obsessed with eyeliner and eyelash extensions. I don't own mascara because I rub my eyes so much, but the extensions make it look as if I'm wearing it. I go to Ebenezer Eyelash. The extensions give my lashes a full texture and I can even wash my face without worrying about them. They're actually really durable. Then, I have every single color of Laura Geller I-Care Eyeliner Waterproof Pencil, $20. I've been wearing purple eyeliner 80% of the time because it makes my green eyes look greener. I also love Laura Geller City Light Lip Gloss, $16, and her Wonder Wand Eye Brightener Powder, $21, which is like a loose eye shadow that you dab in the corners of your eyes to brighten everything up. My skin never reacts to any of these products.
PI: What about your hair?
Rochelle: My grays are beyond out of control. I'm all gray. By the time I realize it, it is almost unfixable, so I'll take care of it right away. I go to Corinne Adams Danchaud at Serge Normant at John Frieda. She's like God. I'm never organized enough to schedule regular appointments so I email her, "When can you see me? I need it ASAP." It's always an emergency and she fits me in. I feel so good after, I'm like a different person. My energy just shifts knowing that my problem is fixed. I'm also obsessed with a product she recently introduced me to called Color Wow Root Cover-Up in Blonde, $35. It's a root concealer that you apply like an eye shadow. It doesn't come off. I can go to yoga and not worry that my white headband is going to have brown on it. It allows me to spend an extra night with my kids instead of coming home at 8:00 p.m. because I had to rush and get my color done. It gives me more flexibility. That's a big, big, big trick. I'm always in crisis mode when I need Botox too.
PI: When did you start using Botox?
Rochelle: I've been doing it since I was in third grade. No seriously, I've been doing it for seven years. But, the really cool thing about it is that I haven't had to increase it at all. Since I was so proactive about doing it, I still just have the same one spot, that's it. On my 40th birthday, I told my dermatologist, Dr. Diane Madfes, that I was totally open to do anything. She looked at me and said, "There's nothing more I can do to you right now. I don't know what you're doing, just keep doing it." I love that she doesn't give her patients treatments that aren't necessary, like a lot of other doctors.
PI: So do you think great skin is really about genetics?
Rochelle: I think it's partially genetics, but I swear it's partially your outlook. I still feel really young. When I say I'm 41, I remember what 41-year-olds were like when I was 25. They were old! Don't you feel that way? When I look in the mirror, I don't see a 41-year-old. I have loved every single year of my life and I think every year came at the right time. I've always been ready for whatever was next.
PI: What about fashion. Do you have a work uniform?
Rochelle: I have more dresses than anything else in the world. I like my arms—it's the only part of my body I like. I look for dresses that are sleeveless or cap sleeves and I generally like an A-line shape. I really like bright colors too. I love my green Jay Godfrey Bower Crepe De Chine Draped Side Dress, $298. Another favorite is my Diane Von Furstenberg Pink Fleurette Silk Chiffon Dress, $485. I also love my orange Ali Ro Lava Flutter Sleeve Dress, $289.
PI: Where do you shop?
Rochelle: I don't shop in stores. I've had my biggest scores on Gilt and Ruelala. My most successful purchases are never on an app unless there's something I have to get right away. I like to look at everything on a big screen. Also, my friend Gretta Monahan is a great stylist and owns a clothing store in Boston. She sends me things I'd never try on my own. She always writes a note that says, "I don't care if you don't want to try it on. You must try it on." Some of my favorite pieces are things that I'd never ever, ever, ever have tried on my own. It's good to have someone who forces you to step out of your comfort zone.
PI: What are some of your favorite shoes?
Rochelle: I love wedges. I've been wearing these Balenciaga Leather Wedge Brogue Ankle Boots, $865, all winter long. I put the rubber stuff on the soles so I can walk better. They're great because I can wear them with jeans or a suit. For summer, I will be wearing these Prada Platform Wedge Sandals, $510. I got them last summer and lived in them.
PI: What are some of your favorite accessories?
Rochelle: My skin is so sensitive it reacts to metal too, so I've been wearing a lot of leather accessories. Lately I've been loving my Balenciaga Classic Leather Single Strap Bracelet, $195.
PI: How do you come back from a momentary lapse of confidence?
Rochelle: In business and in my appearance, I'm incredibly confident. I think there's a big difference between insecurities and confidence. I can list out my insecurities, but it doesn't affect my confidence. For example, I don't like my butt, so I don't walk around in a bikini. Never will! But I do have a little cute wrap that I wear that makes me feel confident.
PI: I know you're very involved with a lot of charities. What's your latest?
Rochelle: Yes, I'm very active in the community. Most recently, Dr. Elsa Port, who specializes in treating breast cancer and has been a long time friend and doctor asked me to help in launching the Dubin Breast Center of The Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai. We've hosted a bunch of different events over the years. I also raise money every year for the boys' schools and do whatever I can to help the scholarship funds.
PI: Has being a mother changed the way you manage your business?
Rochelle: 100%. My patience level has improved from having those delicious little boys who test me on everything. I'm also more compassionate and understanding. Before kids, everything was black and white to me. If someone was late, it didn't matter the excuse, they were late. Now I ask, "Is everything okay? Is there something I should know about?" I think my humanity side was locked up. I worked at Wall Street. They don't have humanity there (laughs).

Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing focuses on clients gaining self-control. Within addiction, self-control is an issue. Our therapists work with each client, motivating them to change in terms of addictive patterns. Factors within this method include emotion, conditioning, learning, social aspects, and biology.
What Is Motivational Interviewing?
This is a highly client-centered perspective. Therapists offer an environment that creates hope, while eliminating confrontation. Basically, it helps clients make positive changes. This method is used to open up communication between the therapist and client. This helps clients acknowledge the fact that changes need to be made regarding their addictive behaviors.
This is most effective when trying to establish a better relationship between clients that are impassive or antagonistic. Some clients struggle to see their disease as an issue. When you approach clients in a non-confrontational manner, you create a better rapport.
This method focuses on listening to what the client has to say, instead of lecturing them. Making threats and warnings, will only create more problems within their recovery process. Our clients are the only ones who can make behavioral changes in their life. This is why therapists are empathetic and encouraging.
Which Techniques Are Used?
Within motivational interviewing, therapists use affirmations. They ask questions that require more than a 'yes' or 'no' answer. These open-ended questions, allow clients to recognize the discrepancies that their beliefs and addictions create.
For example, a therapist may ask, "If you were to stop using heroin, where do you see yourself in three years?" Questions like this, require the client to think about an answer. Often, their response suggests problems without the therapist needing to point them out.
This technique helps our clients come to the conclusion that the future they see for themselves, consists of an endless struggle. By making these realizations, clients begin to make positive changes. The more changes made, the less likely that addiction will continue to control their thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.
One of the key methods used, is known as reflective listening technique. This involves truly listening to what the client is saying, rather than just listening to the words that are being used. This helps the therapist bridge the gap between what the client is trying to say, and what's actually being said. Many feelings are often left unsaid, due to the deep-seated emotional issues surrounding it.
When a therapist suggests what the client is saying, it helps them verbalize their thoughts, without the therapist 'attacking' them. Their addiction has probably caused a lot of damage in their life, which is what the therapist helps uncover. Based off those realizations, changes are made.
How Can Motivational Interviewing Help Me?
When you take part in motivational interviewing, you are able to convey feelings of acceptance, understanding, and empathy. Many clients have mentioned that they avoided treatment, because they did not want to be judged. Our staff members are not here to judge you, they're here to help you.
Motivational interviewing helps clients see that therapy does not need to feel like a place where you're judged. This safe and caring environment, will help you face your feelings and behaviors. This is essentially a self-help program, that's guided by professionals that care.
This gentle and understanding approach is an excellent component at WCA Rehab. If you are struggling with addiction, we can help you. Please do not hesitate to contact us today. We would be happy to address any questions or concerns you may have.

Top Reviewed Green Rugs With Filters Applied
- The following reviews are for product "63X87 RUG-MARIAM MOROCCAN OLIVE"
Superb RugThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Jillian2 months ago
We were recommended this rug by a sales associate and we couldn't be happier that we took her advice. This rug is such a pleasure to walk on, my whole family has taken to going out of their way to walk on it. I was hesitant at first to purchase a polyester rug (rather than a "natural fiber") and I'm mad at myself for not doing this sooner. It's soft, thick, durable, doesn't pill like my wool rug does, and seems to be excellent quality. I especially love the variety of colors! We put it under our ... dining room table and it will be PERFECT as it disguises any possible mess that may befall it. We're thrilled with our purchase. NOTE: It's 4" longer than advertised! Make sure you measure your space exactly!
LovelyThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Jenn1 year ago
Love this rug- colors are beautiful. Really completes the look of the space!! (And I looked at a lot of rugs!!)
Blends better than I thought it wouldThis reviewer rated product 5 out of 5 stars.Catalina1 year ago
I am redoing my condo near the beach with mostly gray tones but also with white and reddish wood/leather brown. Later I will minimally add some blue for interest via pillows or vases. This rug, despite its name, blends very well with my colors! It feels good under foot and I plan to install it in my living room with a good pad to protect it and my new gray "luxury vinyl" wood-looking floors. Give it a try; it is more versatile than you may be thinking.

Students in Penn State Harrisburg's Cyber Lions club, a student-run organization that focuses on extending information systems technology and security and risk analysis education beyond the classroom, attended the SANS Security East Conference early this semester in New Orleans, Louisiana. The group, which included Edward Corbett; Katlynn Lenker; Jared Trigilli; Gunther Gochenauer; and Jayson Coulter, gained valuable knowledge and trained alongside experienced professionals.
Corbett said that Russell Houseknecht, lecturer in information sciences and technology in the college's School of Business Administration and faculty adviser of the Cyber Lions, was an inspiration for them to attend the conference, as he had stressed the importance of certifications in addition to academics and had introduced the integrity of SANS to the class.
During the conference, the students attended the SEC560: Network Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking course, a hands-on, immersion-style class on computer network penetration testing and ethical hacking taught by real-world practitioners. They learned various techniques such as scanning networks and guessing passwords, and they applied their training in a competitive "Capture the Flag" event held at the end of the conference.
According to Corbett, senior security and risk analysis major and vice president of the Cyber Lions, only a few students were at the conference, and those with whom they spoke were impressed that the college would provide the resources enabling students to have such an experience.
"SANS could be described as a traveling college, and the training was like receiving a semester-long master's level course in one week," Corbett said.
In addition to the knowledge gained through their intensive training, the students left the conference with audio files from each session they attended and a textbook-like binder of resources they were given.
Corbett works alongside Houseknecht to replicate vulnerable systems on which the club members can practice, applying skills and training received at SANS and other conferences. He also applies his training while working as a network specialist intern for the Naval Support Activity in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

I think everybody can relate when we say, "food is life," so, when we see someone throwing away their food, our hearts suddenly breaks into millions of pieces. But, it cannot be helped if a certain food has finally expired so, we have to throw it away even though it hurts our feelings.
But, wait! Don't empty out that fridge just yet. Although, believe it or not, there are some variety of food products that are still consumable even after past their expiry dates.
The key here is to maintain refrigeration for the following foods:
1. Yogurt
Up to: Two weeks
Yes, you can still eat yogurt even if it's past the due date, but this rule does not apply on every yogurt as this is only applicable to plain and yogurts that contain fruits. Anything with eggs in it, such as yogurt-based custard or dessert should go straight to the bin.
2. Chocolate
Up to: Two years
Don't worry about that bar of chocolate you left untouched last month. You can still eat it from one to two years. However, it will not be as tasty as it originally was, so it's recommended to simply use it as an ingredient in baking.
3. Pasta
Up to: At one year
Because pasta does not contain water, it will not spoil easily. Store it in a dry place, ideally in an airtight glass or metal container. If you have fresh pasta that contains water, you can still consume it three weeks past its expiration date.
4. Cheese
Up to: Depends on kind
Hard cheeses, such as Monterey Jack and cheddar, are consumable for up to 10 months. For soft cheeses, such as camembert and brie, they are good for up to 10 days. Cheeses are usually safe to eat even past their expiry date – even when there's mold. Just make sure you remove the mold before you eat the cheese.
Up to: Days past expiration
As long as it doesn't smell spoiled or sour, you can eat stale bread – even if there's some mold on it.
6. Potato Chips
Up to: Months past expiration date
If you didn't seal the bag tight, you can still enjoy the chips after a few days, but of course, they won't be crisp anymore. However, if you keep them in a sealed bag, they will almost be as fresh as they were when you first opened them months after their expiry.
7. Condiments
Up to: Three to four months
From mayonnaise to jams to ketchups, you can just use your nose to know whether the condiment is still consumable. However, if it is unsealed, you can go over three months after expiration.
8. Frozen Food Products
Up to: Two months
Eating frozen food, including veggies, proteins, and pastries, two months after expiry will not kill you.
9. Cereal
Up to: Months after expiry
As long as it is in a dry place and is stored properly, cereal can last for many months even after the expiry date.
10. Prepackaged Vegetables and Fruits
Up to: Until not rotten
It's just common sense with vegetables and fruits. Wilted greens and spotted bananas will not kill you. As long as it is not rotten, you can eat these foods.
Don't just throw away those foods that say are past their sell-by date. If it is in this list, you can consume it until the specified time.

The cost of Angelina Jolie's cancer testing? More than $4,000
Share Now on:
Update: This story has been updated with a comment from Myriad Genetics.
Angelina Jolie wrote an Op-Ed in today's New York Times about her decision to have a double mastectomy. The actress didn't have breast cancer, but tests showed she had almost a 90 percent chance of developing it. The key was finding a mutation in a gene known as BRCA-1, and Jolie appealed for the test to be made more accessible to women around the world.
At the moment, if you want to get tested for a mutation on your BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 genes, you will have to turn to Myriad Genetics. That's the company that discovered the link between those mutations and an elevated risk cancer — and it patented the BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 genes.
The price tag on a BRCA-1 and BRCA -2 test? More than $4,000.
"Because Myriad has a monopoly on the genetic testing, they determine the cost of that test," says Sandra Park, senior staff attorney at the ACLU's Women's Rights Project. Park argued before the Supreme Court last month that Myriad shouldn't be able to patent a gene and control research.
One of the main arguments against gene patents is that they hamper scientific progress.
"The charge has been that patents reduce the willingness of researchers to explore in the same genetic area, because they have to pay fees," says Art Caplan, director of medical ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center.
Biotech companies say they need patents to help fund research. Myriad spent $500 million developing its BRCA tests. The company declined to comment to Marketplace before deadline. Myriad subsequently issued a statement saying its diagnostic tests can reduce illness and potentially lower health-care costs by preventing cancer treatments. It added that more than one million women have been tested, and thanks to health insurance, their average cost was about $100.
The BRCA gene tests account for more than 80 percent of Myriad's sales. That revenue would be at risk if the Supreme Court rules against the company next month.
"Let me tell you, it would be problematic for Myriad," says Les Funtleyder, a health-care strategist for investment firm Poliwogg.
Still, Funtleyder says, most biotech companies don't rely on patenting a certain gene, so the Supreme Court decision is unlikely to have a huge impact on the industry.
"It might put a damper on things," he says, "but I don't think it's going to be a deal-breaker for genetic analysis."
For now, though, Myriad is riding high. Thanks in part to Angelina Jolie's New York Times Op-Ed, shares of Myriad rose three percent today.

Deputy Prime Minister visits Glen Dimplex Home Appliances
The Deputy Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Nick Clegg MP, visited the UK manufacturing headquarters of Glen Dimplex Home Appliances yesterday, as it was revealed the business is to receive a £3m Regional Growth Fund investment - the largest sum to be awarded to a North West business.
The Regional Growth Fund is a £3.2 billion fund to help companies throughout England to create jobs between now and the mid-2020s. The RGF supports projects and programmes that are using private sector investment to create economic growth and sustainable employment. It is a competitive fund and has a minimum bid threshold of £1 million.
Glen Dimplex Home Appliances, the parent company of cooking appliance and refrigeration brands Belling, Stoves, New World and Lec, is thought to be the last remaining manufacturer producing freestanding cookers, built-in ovens and hobs and range cookers in the UK and will use the funding to further expand its manufacturing facilities and increase its manufacturing capacity. It is expected the move will create approximately 300 new jobs in the North West over the next three years.
The Deputy Prime Minister toured the company's 26-acre Merseyside base and manufacturing facility and met with the some of the company's apprentices. GDHA runs a three year apprenticeship scheme in partnership with local colleges offering NVQ training in a variety of roles across the business.
"This investment is hugely important to our business," said Denver Hewlett, Chief Executive of Glen Dimplex Home Appliances. "Many years ago we committed to returning the manufacture of as many of our products to the UK as possible but that has required significant investment. This money will allow us to further expand our operations, create jobs for the local community and increase our export activity."
The Deputy Prime Minister said: "The North West has seen major benefits from the Regional Growth fund already, and the £23 million investment I am announcing today is the latest important part in making sure the recovery is sustainable and balanced across the country.
"What Glen Dimplex Home Appliances has done here is a great success story. It is very rare to see a company that fully manufactures its products on one site from beginning to end. We're delighted the Regional Growth Fund is going to allow them to move onto the next phase of development."
GDHA is a privately owned company that produces across all categories, from Range Cookers to built-in and freestanding ovens. With more than 20% share of the UK market, it is a leading supplier to most of the major high street retailers. The company has hundreds of years' experience in producing quality products, and has earned a reputation for being a specialist in the production of market-leading domestic and electrical appliances. At its 26-acre Liverpool base, GDHA turns over £150 million a year and employs more than 1000 people (including 200 engineers trained to the highest standards and 18 apprentices).

In case there was ever any doubt, Blake Lively's new maternity wear is in full swing, and it's taking the 2016 Cannes Film Festival red carpet by storm. The actress, who's expecting her second child with her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, was simply glowing among her Café Society cast members as she stepped out for the premiere of the new movie in a shimmery, body-hugging gown that, more importantly, made no effort to hide her baby bump.
Photo: Getty Images
The body-conscious, spaghetti strap, trumpet gown hugged Lively's growing pregnancy curves as the actress gracefully walked the red carpet in silver sandals with a slight train following behind her. Lively wore her blonde hair down around her shoulders with a side part and loose waves. Simply put: She looked stunning (no shocker there).
Photo: Getty Images
"Blake is absolutely thrilled and so is Ryan," a source close to Lively, 28, and her husband Ryan Reynolds, 39, told People in April following their super exciting pregnancy news.
While this isn't Lively's first strut on the red carpet since news of her second pregnancy broke in April, we have yet to catch a good, solid glimpse of the actress' baby bump. (And, needless to say, we were intrigued.) Earlier this month, we were anxious to see her Met Gala maternity look, but Lively covered up her belly with a lovely pink A-line Burberry gown.
Wednesday morning at Cannes, the actress squashed our hopes again by stepping out for the festival in a fire-engine-red, form-fitting jumpsuit that only slightly hinted at something more than a food baby.
Photo: Getty Images
So alas! Reynolds and Lively's second, sure-to-be-adorable child has made its Hollywood debut. The new parents welcomed their first daughter, James, at the end of 2014 and, during Lively's first pregnancy, we got to see ALL the glamorous maternity looks from the starlet. And given her latest ensemble, it seems that we can expect Lively to pull out the stops, yet again, for her second time as a mommy-to-be.
