Costa Rica Day 4
Today began around 8:30 being picked up at the hotel with my luggage for my jeep, boat, horse trip to Monteverde. I found out along the way that I would be traveling with a group from Gap Adventures. Some of the members of this group were actually a part of my rappelling tour the morning before so it was cool. All of our luggage was loaded into the van and we got on our way. We had about a 15 minute ride to the lake where we would then load onto the boat that would take us across to where we would saddle up on our horses. The boat ride was fun and there were lots of nice scenery. When we got to the other side we learned that we would leave our luggage on board and it would be taken to the end of the trail where we would be reunited with it.
We gathered as a group in the middle of some trees that had all of our horses ready and waiting to go. One by one we were matched to our horses based on level of riding experience and size/weight. My horses name was Tequila and was very beautiful. After we were all saddled up we began our 3 hour ride towards Monteverde. We all had a great time and were in awe of the scenery we saw along the way. The guides allowed us to trot our horses at times so that helped to make the ride seem not so long. One of the girls had a minor mishap when the horse she was on started to gallop down hill and she was thrown off. Fortunately she only suffered a few scrapes and bruises. After cleaning off and calming down her nerves she mounted back up and we continued the rest of our ride.
Just as we got to the end of our trail it began to pour down rain. Little did I know that this would be the beginning of a very wet next 3 days in Monteverde. We quickly got off of our horses and ran for shelter at the little store where our vans were waiting to transport us the rest of the way into town. It was about a 2 hour drive from the store into Monteverde. It was one of the bumpiest rides I have ever experienced ever as well. I have learned to realize that you never get anywhere quickly while traveling around Costa Rica. We finally got to the hotel where I was going to be staying for the next three nights and it was still raining. It was also very cold and windy. I decided that I didn't want to trek out in the rain for the night so I relaxed in my room and watched a bit of t.
Costa Rica Day 3
Today had to be one of the most amazing days of my life! I began bright and early like yesterday by being picked up around 7:30 for my day of fun filled activities. The first item on the agenda was to rappel off of waterfalls in the middle of the rainforest. Words can't begin to describe this experience. After about a 15 minute safety lesson we began our first rappel. It was quick and easy and I seemed to get the hang of it easily. We had to walk through the streams from waterfall to waterfall. The scenery was absolutely amazing. After two more waterfall rappels we had to do a freefall rappel of the edge of one of the cliffs. I won't lie that it was very scary. We had to walk to the edge of a platform, turn around and grab the bar, then we were slowly lowered backwards with our feet against the platform until we were safe to freefall rappel.
After that adventure ended it was off to the next most incredible activity ever – white water rafting. I was transported in the truck that was hauling the boats to meet up with the rest of the group that would be on our tour. Also in the truck with me was Carlos from Costa Rica and Colin and Billy –from Utah - who were rafting guides in Yellowstone National Park in the summer and then traveled to Costa Rica during the winter to work. They were all cool to talk to and I learned a little about the country as we traveled about 30 min to the start of the Balsa River.
We loaded the boats into the water and off we went. During our training we were informed that there would be various commands that would be given that we had to adhere to – paddle forward, paddle backwards, stop, high side right, high side left, right forward/left backward, and left forward/right backward. Let me tell you, when you are in the heat of the moment and the adrenaline is rushing, it is very difficult to remember the left and right hand side commands. We made our way down the river successfully without too many problems.
I got back to the hotel, took a long hot shower and was so exhausted that I decided to take a nap. After I woke up I wrote a few postcards and then decided to head out to grab some dinner.
Costa Rica Day 2
The day started bright and early with an 8 a.m. scheduled pick up time to be transported from San Jose to La Fortuna. A quick side note, I noticed in reviewing my vouchers for the trip last night that most of my activities are first thing in the morning with very early pick up times…so much for sleeping in on vacation…hehe. Anyway, so I arrived down in the lobby in plenty of time to meet the schedule. About 8:15 I was still sitting in the lobby and a little worried that the company forgot about me. I called the touring company shortly after and was assured that I would be picked up and that the transportation arranged was probably just running late.
The ride was pretty good and I was really enjoying the scenery along the way. There were 4 other people in the van with me and they were all from Canada…we like Canooks. They were in Costa Rica visiting and also to attend a friends wedding in Manuel Anotonio. Our driver was friendly, but unfortunately new little English and the rest of us knew very little Spanish…definitely created a barrier for communication. He was also a little bit of a crazy driver…American's have nothing on Costa Rican's when it comes to being crazy drivers. They drive on whatever side of the road they feel like, pass vehicles with very little time to spare, and just don't seem to worry about anything.
Along the way I saw many interesting things.
So we were trekking along nicely and had been traveling for a little over an hour when all of the sudden our driver pulled off next to a little roadside building, which ended up being a tourist stop that sold souvenirs and coffee. This was announced to us by the driver that it was going to be a coffee break. I had read about how Costa Rican's take many coffee breaks in the day, but never had imagined that we would experience it while traveling. We unloaded from the van and went inside the little shop for a 15 minute stretch. After our coffee break we continued on our way to La Fortuna.
As we got closer to our destination, the driver began to point out many plantations along the road. We saw coffee bushes, papaya trees, mango groves, and even ---- the root plant.
I was finally dropped off at my next hotel and took some time to get settled in. The hotel was much more basic than the first night, but I did choose to go with the economy stay places since I knew I wouldn't be spending a whole lot of time in the room.
After my nap I just lounged around in the hotel and watched t.v. as it was raining pretty heavily outside. I had a little bit of time to kill before my 3:30 pick up time for my first adventure hiking in the rainforest at the Arenal Volcano to be followed by a night at the Baldi hot springs. When the van arrived there were two guys that had been picked up already that would be part of the group.
It was about a 20 min. van ride after picking up the last couple to the area of the rain forest we would begin our hike at. Our tour guide began by giving us a brief history of the volcano's formation and activity levels. It was mentioned that before the 1968 erruption, the last major eruption was in the 1560's – a period of around 400 years that the volcano was dormant.
During the rest of the hike we spotted a few other animals as well. We say a grey hawk, a tarantula, and lastly, a very poisonous snake. I don't remember what kind it was exactly though. We finished up our hike and then proceeded to the Baldi Hot Springs for dinner, which was included in the tour, and relaxing. When we arrived we had the choice to have dinner first or last. The group of four from Virginia and I opted to eat first, as we were pretty hungry after our hike.
After we finished eating we went to the locker rooms to change and then began our search for the perfect hot spring to relax in. There were approx 15-20 different pools that we had to choose from that varied in temperature. I relaxed in a few of them for a bit and then went exploring around the area. It was a very cool place to be at. I think I ended up trying out 7 of the different pools. Our tour bus was scheduled to pick us up around 9:30, so around 9 or so I decided to change to I could walk around and take some pictures.

Costa Rica Day 1
So the adventure has finally started. I figured that I would just start a blog with my daily happenings so I will not have to repeat myself so much in telling everyone what I did. Most of my closest friends have a myspace, so now you can just read about it!
I began my journey by heading to LA for my flight around 6:45 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 2, 2007. Traffic out of San Diego was a mess as usual, but once I got past Carlsbad it began to ease up thankfully. The plan was to park my car and my friend Michael & Jenn Pust's house and they had agreed to take me to the airport since the live litterally 7 minutes from LAX.
I finally got to LAX around 10:15 or so. The checkin went smoothly since I had purchased my ticket online. Got my tags for my suitcase, which was 2 lbs over the limit before they start charging, but the lady at the counter was really nice and said I was close enough so I didn't have to pay the $50 bucks...sweetness! Next went on to the long ass security line and just patiently waited my turn. Finally got to my gate and had about 1.5 hrs until boarding time.
My first flight from LAX to DFW (Dallas) left at 12:55 a.m. on Sat. Nov. 3. The flight went pretty good and I was able to nap a little bit on the 2 hr and 20 min.
Got back to the airport around 9:15 or so and made it quickly through the security line as DFW seems to have it together in that arena. Got to my gate and had about 30 min. of waiting time before we started boarding. My seat on the flight was almost to the back of the plane on a quite full flight.
Once we landed in Costa Rica, we arrived at our gate and then had to wait about 1/2 hr before we could deplane because there were no busses available to take us from the middle of the airport down to the end where you actually go inside to get your luggage and stuff. We finally got off the plane and made it to the main part of the terminal, only to be greeted by a very long line waiting for immigration and customs. Gotta love international travel. Fortunatelly I was able to hang out with Logan and chat some more while we waited in line.
I decided to exchange some money before I left the airport. A warning to all those traveling to Costa Rica in the future...never exchange at the airport. I learned this the hard way as I found out later that I actually got ripped off because they cheat you out of money because the exchange rate is not as good as doing it at a bank. The lessons we have to learn the hard way really suck!
The next adventure was to find the touring company that was to take me to my first hotel in the San Jose area. I finally found my name that was hand written on a piece of paper and being held into the windows of the airport as you were leaving.
Finally made it to my first hotel about 3:30 p.m. local time and got settled in. I was very very tired since I hadn't really slept since I woke up for work on Friday morning. I decided to take a little nap to get some more energy. Slept for about an hour and a half and felt much better. I then decided to utilize the gym since I have been slacking in that dept. for the last 3 weeks. Was bummed to find out that they didn't have a treadmill as I really wanted to go for a run. Instead I had to settle for riding the bike and using the elyptical machine. Got a good 40 minute workout in so that was good.
I finally decided to call it a night and head to bed. I have to be up and ready to go at 8 a.m. for my real adventure to begin. I will be transported in the morning to my hotel in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Then at 3:30 p.m. I am scheduled to go hiking at Arenal Volcano and into the hot springs. I will blog all about that adventure tomorrow. It's time for bed now. I hope you enjoyed reading about my first day!

Don't blame Medicaid for rise in health care spendingAugust 3, 2015
Photo: Mikel Jaso /New York Times
Health care spending growth has moderated in recent years, but it's still putting tremendous strain on state and local governments. A recent analysis by The Pew Charitable Trusts revealed that it consumed 31 percent of state and local government revenue in 2013, nearly doubling from 1987.

text: I go back to Uni on 30th Jan. I have received several emails from my tutor over the break outlining some things he has lined up for us upon return. I am hoping to get some help and creative input. There are 2 competitions he has lined up - i've copied some segments from his various emails He has set us up a live briefing lecture when we get back so not much to say about this right now, I assume after that date there will be more information. Again another live briefing on this is arranged upon our return but I have more information on this from emails than I do for the christmas card one, but the christmas card one is probably pretty simple. Another email i received from my tutor says The first 3 subjects are as follows:- Violence in the workplace Control of substances Hazardrous to health Fire protection & precautions I have quite long information documents on each of the 3 listed above, I can provide this information if it helps more but I won't bore you with it now. I would appreciate any help/ideas with these. Thanks

"I got this recipe yesterday from a recipe group and made it last night. The original recipe called for Jack cheese (and only half the amount), low fat milk, no garlic or onion or Parmesan and used white bread. I played with it and this is what I came up with. It turned out quite nicely as a side dish to Lamb chops but I imagine it would also make a lovely vegetarian main dish served with a salad on the side."

PYR, Feb 16 2010, $16.00
When MultiReal technology failed to provide anymore probability solutions to decision making, civil war explodes between Len Borda and Magan Kai Lee while rebellion mounts elsewhere as Quell has escaped incarceration and has found a willing ally Josiah. The human solar system looks to be on the verge of a second Autonomous Revolt; the last destroyed much of civilization centuries ago.
While the proponents behind MultiReal struggle with the realism that their program is gone, they also deal with law suits. Suddenly, in the chaotic void appears MultiReal-D. It is the same as its predecessor except it can provide multiple time lines for up to 60 seconds; expanding probability mathematics to incredible degrees, bur may be too late as the legal suits expand and the hostilities grow while Natch is nowhere to be seen even as he receives desperate virtual pleas from Surina..
The final Jump 225 is a great finish to a terrific technological science fiction thriller. Somehow David Louis Edelman paints his vision even darker and grittier than in the previous extremely dark and gritty tales (see Infoquake and MultiReal). A sort of cyberpunk modernizing of WarGames, Geosynchron is superb story as the complex myriad of subplots come together in Natch who must choose mankind who treated him like excrement or himself who is his only true love; MultiReal-D would predict bet your life on the latter as that is the overwhelming odds.

Abseiling at Min y Don is not on a cliff or a man-made tower, but a large Scot's Pine tree! Climb 30ft up the Abseil Tree, using blocks and branches, to meet your Instructor on a platform at the top.
You then get to Free-Abseil (hanging in space!) down to the ground at a speed you like, while enjoying the views of the spectacular Mawddach Estuary. You might even get to see the Kayakers or Canoeists!
Did you know: The longest single-drop abseil is over of 200m down the Maletsunyane waterfall in Lesotho!

Having recently completed an extensive building project at Misty Cliffs near Cape Point, I consider myself intimately acquainted with concrete.
It really is the humblest of materials: a hard wearing blend of gravel, sand, cement and water that remains associated with sidewalks and highway overpasses. But recently, it's undergone a resurgence in popularity. In fact, in the right hands, concrete can be elevated to high design.
No longer relegated to outdoor areas, the utilitarian mixture is migrating to main living areas, serving as focal points in lounges and accents in bedrooms.
In the home, concrete can be found everywhere from light fixtures and counter tops to wallpaper and tableware. And it's being incorporated into the wardrobes of the fashion-forward, too. Geometric forms are the shapes of choice, complemented with other natural materials like copper, pewter, leather and wood.

This scholarship has been a great blessing to me and my family. The money provided has allowed me, along with other scholarships, to pay for my college tuition without student loans. As I go into my senior year, I am looking to the future and how I will add to our family business. I love the sign business and enjoy the work we do every day.

General plugins (Local): Moodle eMail Test
Maintained by Michael Milette
Moodle eMailTest allows administrators to test Moodle's email system. A trace of the SMTP dialogue will be displayed if the email message cannot be sent for any reason.

The Moodle eMailTest plugin allows administrators to test Moodle's mail system. A trace of the SMTP dialogue will be displayed if the email message cannot be sent for any reason.
Once the test email has been sent, you will need to check your email inbox to confirm that the email message was successfully delivered. This plugin will not do that for you.
Potential privacy issues
Note that the email sent to the recipient contains details about the administrator and the site including account username, web browser, IP address, Moodle version and preferred language.

Thanks Michael for sharing this simple yet useful plugin with the Moodle community. Please see your issues tracker where several improvements suggestions have been reported while they were detected during the review. With the hope the issues will be addressed in a future update of the plugin, I am going to approve the plugin now. You are cleared to land, welcome to the Plugins directory!
- Fri, 6 Nov 2015, 1:21 PMThanks David! I've addressed all of your concerns as well as a few extra I discovered in the recent release. I also tested it with versions of Moodle right up to 3.0 RC1. Thank you again for your feedback. I really appreciate it.
- Fri, 8 Jan 2016, 7:29 AMOK when I send a message to verified gmail or other email account. I get the message "The test message was successfully delivered to the SMTP server", but no message arrives to the email address. What am I missing regarding the plugin?
- Sat, 9 Jan 2016, 1:29 AMHi Sonia! Thank you for your question.
The plugin is likely working as it was made to. It simply tests whether Moodle was able to successfully deliver an email to the SMTP server. It cannot determine what happens to that email message after the server accepts it. For example, the server could reject it if it considers it to be SPAM or there could be a problem with the SMTP server's ability to forward the message. Your next step would be to check the SMTP server logs to see what it did with your message which is not part of the plugin's functionality since this isn't part of Moodle.
If you want to double check the SMTP dialogue between Moodle and the SMTP server, just click Home > Site Administration > Development > Debugging and check the box for "Debug email sending". Then go back and repeat the test. The results should be display, even if the plugin doesn't detect a problem.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
- Tue, 16 Feb 2016, 10:47 PMHello I installed this on a Moodle 3.0.1+ (Build: 20151231) and after install it gave me an error 500. Regards.
- Sun, 22 May 2016, 12:11 AMNew version of MailTest just release. Now supports Moodle 2.5 to 3.1, additional sender email options, provides clearer information, and includes a new FAQ in the README file.
- Thu, 1 Sep 2016, 8:01 PMHi! Can I just ask, that, if an email is successful, does it also mean that CRON is running correctly for sending emails?
- Fri, 30 Sep 2016, 9:08 PMGreat question Jason. Some emails are sent out immediately while others are scheduled and only sent out when Cron runs. Other things that are often affected by Cron jobs are report generation. Eventually, if you never run cron, your Moodle site will also stop working so it is important to make sure that this is setup properly.
As a Moodle Administrator, you can check if Cron is running regularly by going to the Site Administration > Notifications.
If cron hasn't run in the last 24 hours, you will see something like:
"The cron.php maintenance script has not been run for at least 24 hours.
If you don't see anything about it, chances are that Cron is running automatically at least once a day.
There is also the possibility that an error is preventing Cron from working properly. The likelihood of this happening is much lower since Moodle 2.7. You should be able to manually run Cron and see the results by logging in as a Moodle Administrator and going to:
Just replace "http://example.com/" with the URL to the root of your Moodle site.
There are some settings in Moodle which can prevent this URL from working so, if it doesn't seem to work, don't assume that Cron doesn't work. It might just be some Moodle settings. If Cron is running regularly, the displayed log might be pretty short as there are items which are only run once a day which may not appear in the list. This is especially noticeable if you run Cron manually twice in a row.
Thanks again for asking. I will add a check for cron similar to the one on the Notifications page to let you know if there is a problem with the scheduling of the cron script in the next version of the mailtest plugin as this could be a potential reason why emails don't seem to be delivered.
By the way, it's never too late to setup Cron. Not only will you find that your Moodle site works better, it may actually work faster too. If you are running Moodle on a Unix/Linux based server, documentation on how to set it up can be found at https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Cron. If you are running Moodle on Windows, you may have noticed that "cron" doesn't exist. However Windows does also include a Scheduler. You will find details on how to set that up by going to https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Cron_with_Windows_OS.
Best regards,

Do you have any idea for the following error:
2017-10-04 09:29:37 SERVER -> CLIENT: 250 Recipient accepted
2017-10-04 09:29:37 SMTP -> get_lines(): $data is ""
2017-10-04 09:29:37 SMTP -> get_lines(): $str is "452 Sent messages limits exceeded
2017-10-04 09:29:37 SERVER -> CLIENT: 452 Sent messages limits exceeded
2017-10-04 09:29:37 SMTP ERROR: DATA command failed: 452 Sent messages limits exceeded
2017-10-04 09:29:37 SMTP Error: data not accepted.
The test email message could not be delivered to the mail server.
The email test OK and it was working perfectly.
- Wed, 18 Oct 2017, 4:48 AMHi Mahmood,
This error message usually appears when you have too many email recipients or there is a limit on how many emails you can send through your mail server.
Since MailTest only sends messages to a single recipient at a time, it is probably more likely that your mail server provider has either placed a limit on how many emails you can send through it or that you have exceeded the storage quota of your email account or the physical drive.
This actually happened to me recently. My ISP created a mailbox for my account when I signed up. Each time a cron job would run, it would send an email to that account. Over the years it added up to over 500,000 emails. There were so many emails that they had to clear it from the command line as there was no email client that could handle this many emails. It really surprised me as I was not even aware that the email address even existed.
As for your situation, the next step would be to contact your service provider and get them involved in troubleshooting the mail server.
Hope you find this useful. Best regards,
- Sat, 11 Nov 2017, 3:40 PMGreat news! eMailTest for Moodle has now been tested and approved for use with Moodle 2.5 to 3.4. Other than the testing, there are no changes to the code, only to the documentation.

Carrier for comfort
Reviewed by timothy m (Denver, CO) Reviewed for a 2010 Chevy Van — 2012-05-29 20:41:18
Using the Carpod Cargo Carrier has allowed much more comfortable travel by allowing enough room for people traveling in our van to actually stretch their legs and keep them stretched. The rear carrier has eliminated the need for a car top carrier, which is cumbersome and difficult to use with a full size van. We have also been able to attach 2 children's bicycles to the top of the cargo carrier, further increasing our vacation activities.

text: Has anybody signed up for the winter OAS (Ontario Artisan Share) box? I got a trial box last week and it was good but cost $50. I am thinking of signing up for the entire season and was wondering if anyone else had any experience with these boxes. It is worth the money? Is the variety and produce good? Any feedback would be appreciated.

If you have, then congratulations—you're officially a part of the social networking revolution.
Social Networking
Of course, the Web didn't invent social networking. A social network can exist in the physical world in a variety of situations. Wikipedia (which itself is a social network) defines a social network, as of June 2008, as:
. . . A social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of inter-dependency, such as values, visions, idea, financial exchange, friends, kinship, dislike, conflict, trade, Web links, sexual relations, disease transmission (epidemiology), or airline routes.
- Recommended Read: Content Marketing: Best Shots from Neil Patel
Wikipedia then goes on to explain more about social networks: Research in a number of academic fields has shown that social networks operate on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a critical role in determining the way problems are solved, organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals succeed in achieving their goals. While social networks date back to the exchange of meaningful grunts at community cave gatherings, the term has increasingly become part of our vocabulary as more social media sites and applications have been introduced on the Web.
Social Media is the umbrella term used for all of the Web tools and applications used to socialize on the Web. These tools include social networking sites, message boards, blogs, wikis, podcasts, instant messaging, online forums, photo and video sharing, e-mail, and more. Social networking on the Web, however, differs dramatically from practically any other social networking community in history, in three distinct ways. First, it allows people to communicate with others while maintaining their anonymity. In many cases, this anonymity has allowed people to develop a separate "cyber life" persona, often times far different from the person they present themselves to be in a "real life" social setting.
- Recommended Read: Social Media Websites: Helps in Advanced Marketing
In his online book The Psychology of Cyberspace, John Suler, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and professor at Rider University, writes:
It's well known that people say and do things in cyberspace that they wouldn't ordinarily say or do in the face-to-face world. They loosen up, feel more uninhibited, and express themselves more openly. Researchers call this the "Dis-inhibition Effect" It's a double-edged sword. Sometimes people share very personal things about themselves. They reveal secret emotions, fears, wishes. Or they show unusual acts of kindness and generosity. We may call this benign dis-inhibition.
On the other hand, the dis-inhibition effect may not be so benign. Out spills rude language and harsh criticisms, anger, hatred, even threats or people explore the dark underworld of the Internet, places of pornography and violence, places they would never visit in the real world. We might call this toxic dis-inhibition. Dr. Suler notes that there are many reasons that the anonymity of the Web permeates the individual user and alters their behavior, including the sheer invisibility offered by the ability to hide one's name, age, and other vital statistics; the cathartic effect of being able to vent one's feelings and then leave an online conversation or situation as quickly as it takes to close a browser window; and the equalization of status in an online environment.

You might ask, "So what?" So people's behavior changes when they go online. This isn't a psychology class; it's a Web marketing class. However, at its very heart, marketing is the study of behavior, and online marketers (and Web developers) need to understand the subtleties of behavioral change in their audience when trying to reach someone through an online effort.

Should outside agency lead viral video investigation?
GREEN BAY - The head of the state's largest police union tells FOX 11 an outside agency should be in charge of the investigation into a viral cell phone video arrest involving a Green Bay police officer.
Jim Palmer is the executive director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, which has no affiliation with Green Bay's police union.
Palmer says it's difficult to tell whether Green Bay Police Officer Derek Wicklund acted appropriately from only watching the video where he is seen taking down a man while trying to arrest him.
"A video captures a particular point and time and a fairly narrow view," said Palmer.
Police say the incident in the video happened last month as people were coming out of the bars on Washington Street. They say it started when a man took a drink outside of a bar.
Joshua Wenzel is the man seen taken down in the video. He was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Right now, the Green Bay Police Department is trying to piece together what you don't see in the video. The department is interviewing witnesses and watching dash camera video.
Captain Bill Galvin tells FOX 11 the department's investigation will likely be complete this week or next week. He says the results of the investigation will then be sent to the Wisconsin Department of Justice for review.
Palmer questions whether the public will trust the Green Bay Police Department's findings.
"If it's just the Green Bay Police Department or predominately that department doing the review, I think there is going to be a significant segment of the public that's going to not view that as a credible investigation and that doesn't do much to advance the public dialogue," said Palmer.
A little more than a week ago, Green Bay Police Chief Tom Molitor wrote a letter to the citizens of Green Bay, saying the state department of justice would review the department's internal findings.
"It is my hope that having this outside panel of subject matter experts review the case will demonstrate to the public that we are open and transparent," wrote Molitor.
"I think that does help considerably, to the extent that the Department of Justice investigators have additional questions or need to interview witnesses independently, they ought to have the ability to do that," said Palmer.
The state recently passed a law requiring an outside law enforcement agency to review cases of police using deadly force. However, Palmer says it might not be practical to do that with all types of cases where police use force.

Which Services does your Sleep Lab in Thousand Oaks Offer?
At the ASMS sleep lab in Thousand Oaks, our sleep doctors and specialists offer consultations, as well as a wide array of services, including sleep studies and a sales department for all of your supplies.
What is the Difference Between an In-Center Sleep Study and an In-Home Sleep Study?
As the names suggest, an in-center sleep study takes place in our sleep lab in Thousand Oaks, while an in-home sleep study can be completed in your own home.
An In-Center sleep study is the most effective way to diagnose a sleep disorder. These overnight studies take place in our Thousand Oaks sleep lab. When you arrive at our facility, you are provided with a spacious, comfortable private room like you would find at a hotel. With easy access to a shower and restroom, you'll have all the amenities you need to get a good night's sleep and complete your study.
An in-home sleep study is a convenient option if you are unable to spend the evening at our Thousand Oaks sleep center. If our sleep experts recommend you take a home sleep test (HST), we will provide you with the equipment you need, as well as show you everything you need to know to administer the test on your own from the comfort of home.
What Should I Expect During My In-Center Sleep Study?
Several small sensors will be placed on your scalp, face, chest, abdomen and legs. These sensors will monitor your eye movements, muscle activity, brain waves, heart rate, airflow, respiratory effort and oxygen levels throughout the entire night. Equipment is easily disconnected if you need to go to the restroom in the middle of the night. Based on your physician's order and the finding of the sleep study, sleep therapy (positive airway pressure/PAP) may be initiated in the middle of the night.
You will have a private bedroom and restroom facilities are nearby. The recording equipment is continuously monitored in a separate room throughout the night with a technologist who is always available to assist you. Visual recording of your sleep study may be in progress throughout the night.

Legal options for Edmonton mother trying to find family for daughters
Video: An Edmonton woman living with Multiple Sclerosis is making a public plea to find caregivers who can look after her two young daughters, after she no longer has the strength. Francis Silvaggio has her story.
TORONTO – The story of a single Edmonton mother whose public plea to find a home for her daughters has earned thousands of messages of support, and many offers of adoption from people who are "foster ready" and "willing to consider a long-term placement."
So what are the legal options available to Sarah Vibert, who lives in a long-term care facility because of multiple sclerosis and a spinal injury that's confined her to a wheelchair?
Vibert went public because she thought putting her 8 and 9-year-old daughters into the foster care system could mean giving up her guardianship and limiting the amount of time she'd get to spend with them.
Queen's University family law professor Nicholas Bala said while she wouldn't necessarily lose all rights, Vibert would lose a lot of control if her daughters entered the foster care system. This would put the final say as to where her children were placed in the hands of a social worker.
It's not uncommon for parents to find others to care for their children for a period of time, though typically it's grandparents or family members who are asked first, said Bala.
"Alberta has legislation that the mother could remain a guardian and two people who she finds could be added as guardians, so they would all have some legal rights and responsibilities," he said, noting the guardianship process varies from province to province.
"I'm just hoping there's someone out there looking for two little girls that need a home," Vibert said Tuesday, adding that ideally she'd like to still see them as often as possible and have a say in matters such as their education.
Bala pointed out it's not just about the legal rights of the mother, but also the emotional relationship would be something Vibert and her children would want to continue.
He added that "open adoption" is another option, and said the flurry of responses to Vibert's plea reflects the reality that many Canadians want to adopt and can't easily find children.
"Now it's becoming increasingly common…that children might be adopted but would continue to have some contact with the biological parents," he said. "So this sort of fits in with the changing, broadening nature of families and parent-child relationships in Canada."
Differences between the choices
A guardian remains legally tied to a child, and has the rights of a parent with a continuing set of obligations, Bala said. This includes things like access to information, and also obligation to pay child support (which he suggested may not be relevant in Vibert's case).
In the case of adoption, a biological mother would no longer be a legal parent.
"It could be open adoption, so she would have some rights of continuing contact with the children, but no longer have the rights or obligations of a parent," said Bala.
Then there's what Bala called a "halfway" option of a long-term placement which includes a temporary set of rights and obligations.
Bala believes there will be an initial period of screening and selection, then "presumably some kind of trial placement–for everybody."
Alberta Child and Family Services said it's received a lot of calls from many others wanting to help Vibert's children, and emphasized its services aren't limited to foster care. Spokesman Adam Holm said Wednesday the organization would do everything possible to ensure the safety and well-being of children using the "least intrusive approach," for which Vibert is thankful. Bala suggested the agency could help in the screening of applicants.
Unusual but not unprecedented
Bala said Vibert's case isn't unprecedented in looking to non-family members to care for children, but said he couldn't think of another case that used social media to find parents.
"It's an interesting instance of the combination of changing social and family structures and the rise of social media," he said.
There's also the question of the girls' father, Vibert's ex-husband, who she said was caring for their daughters until he left the country last June. She said he left the girls with friends who are no longer able to care for them.
Bala said their father will continue to have a legal status and some residual rights, as well as potential obligations such as child support.
But "the longer he is away from a role in caring for the children, though, the more reluctant a court would be to give him rights of access or custody to the children," said Bala.
On Thursday, Vibert updated her blog, thanking everyone for their generosity, and adding a "Donate" button in response to questions from readers who want to help out financially. She wrote she planned to put half of any donations into their RESPs and donate the other half to a local non-profit organization dedicated to helping get teenagers off the streets. She also invited donors to specify how to allocate funds by leaving her a message.

We face thousands of problems with our skin and hair and never think before rushing to get them sorted out, either at some expensive saloon or at a dermatologist's clinic.
The remedy to most of our skin and hair problems lies in a pot that is in our balcony or our kitchen garden. Yes! We are talking about the all-time favourite plant, Aloe Vera.
Did you know that the Egyptians called aloe vera' the plant of immortality'?
Aloe vera is a magical remedy for all your health troubles. Be it skin problems, hair issues or any kind of a health disorder, aloe vera seems to have calmed down every such problem.
Aloe vera can be used in the form of a cream, lotion, gel, serum, spray or with face and hair packs. It can also be consumed raw or in the form of juice or tablets.
Aloe vera works wonders for the body. When mixed with some other Ayurvedic or natural ingredients, its goodness increases manifolds.
Here, we are listing down the different uses and benefits of aloe vera, so that you make sure to bring this awesome garden plant to reap its maximum benefits for yourself and your loved ones.
Best Skin Treatment
You just need to get in the habit of applying aloe vera on your skin, either in the form of a gel or cream; or the best one, take a stalk of aloe vera, slice it from the centre and rub it on your face and the other desired parts.
Aloe vera is the best moisturiser ever, it is non greasy in nature, it increases the water content in your skin and leaves the skin feeling hydrated and soft.
It is also an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent and it reduces acne, heals sunburn as well as the redness that is brought about by the constant exposure to UV rays. It helps in reducing the tan and lightens up the skin tone.
Aloe vera removes the dead skin cells, improves the elasticity of the skin and makes it smoother and supple, thus preventing the early signs of ageing.
It stimulates the growth of new cells, fastens the healing process and prevents the appearance of scars. It can also be used to treat small cuts, bruises and insect bites.
Better Than All The Hair Spas
Aloe vera works as the best hair care treatment as well. It can be used with hair packs, mixed in oil, applied or rubbed on to the hair scalp in the form of juice or just raw.
The best benefit of aloe vera is that it maintains the pH value of your scalp, thus keeping the scalp moisturised and well conditioned. It promotes hair growth, conditions the hair, removes the dead skin cells and also eliminates dandruff.
Aloe vera has reserves of antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which help it to fight against all kinds of hair-related infections. The use of aloe vera moisturises your hair, leaving it smooth and glossy.
Health Benefits
Aloe vera is the powerhouse with reserves of anti-inflammatory compounds and antioxidants. Its consumption helps to eradicate free radicals that cause damage to our body cells. When taken in the form of a juice, aloe vera helps to soothe the irritation in the stomach lining and oesophagus.
Studies have shown that aloe vera can reduce the concentration of cholesterol in your vital organs.
Aloe vera also comes with oral benefits, as it helps fight the cavity-causing bacteria. Aloe vera thus boosts your immune system.
On the whole, aloe vera is the one-stop shop for almost all of your problems; however, pregnant and breastfeeding women should restrict the use of aloe vera, as it may cause complications to the mother and baby. Too much intake of aloe vera can be harmful for people with diabetes as well, as it lowers the blood sugar level. Similarly, it should also be avoided by people who are about to undergo a surgery.

It includes two cards which were later released with the Lord of the Rings: Sauron expansion, The One Ring & Watchful Peace, as well as the exclusive release, The Black Gate. The fourth card is simply "cover art" and an explanation of the other cards.
The Black Gate card is two sided, and adds a bit more of a challenge for the Hobbits to win via Military Victory, which was a path to victory added in from the Lord of the Rings : Friends & Foes expansion.

Williams has been capped 38 times by Wales and will replace England wing Chris Ashton, who is joining Toulon.
Williams, 25, has been capped 38 times by Wales and will replace England wing Chris Ashton, who is joining Toulon.
"Liam's arrival at Allianz Park next season is fantastic news," Saracens rugby director Mark McCall told the club website.
"He is only 25 years old and has his best years of rugby ahead of him. Liam is arguably one of the most talented backs in Europe, so to have secured his signing is a real coup for the club."
Williams, equally effective at wing or full-back, will now be dependent on a wildcard from Wales head coach Warren Gatland if he is to continue his international career.
The so-called Gatland's Law restricts the number of players the Wales boss can pick from outside the four Welsh regions.
"I am really excited about joining Saracens and having the opportunity to challenge myself in the Aviva Premiership," said Williams.
"The club's reputation speaks for itself and I am looking forward to the next chapter of my career.
"I wouldn't be the player I am without the incredible support from the Scarlets' management, players, back-room staff and passionate supporters.
"I will be giving my all for the remainder of the season and hope to help finish on a high."
Scarlets general manager of rugby Jon Daniels said the Llanelli-based club had "fought hard" to keep Williams but "respect totally" his decision to move on.
"Liam has been an asset to the region and will be missed both on and off the field," Daniels said in comments published on the Scarlets website.
"He will always be a Scarlet and we thank him for his total commitment and passion for the region."

If you have purchased an IXO model, these require a triangle head screwdriver. These are sold separately and can be purchased here if you do not own one.

Cause of a large gap beneath picture-based widget and how to eliminate it?
Am having a problem with a large gap that appears beneath photo-oriented widgets, and I don't know how to eliminate it.
The problem appears here, in the sidebar:
The problem is beneath the widget marked "Tumblr" (Ultimate Photo Widget plugin), where it shows a very large gap beneath the image. I want the space between the photo widget and the next to it to be the same as all of the other widgets. I know it's not a problem with this specific widget from testing I've done, as it occurs in any photo-based widget. I first noticed the problem when I was testing an Instagram widget (Instapress plugin).
In my attempts to solve this, I have looked through the CSS using Chrome's "inspect element" to see if anything is causing the big gap, and found nothing. I also attempted to "counter" the gap by setting the margin to a negative value to basically roll that blank space up, and that made no difference as well.
I'm starting to run out of ideas for how to fix this problem. Does anyone else have any ideas? Thanks!

Updates for the 2015-16 School Year
We've had a few changes over the summer break. Moodle was upgraded and moved to a new server. Infinite Campus went through an upgrade and we were assigned a new district code and the secondary schools also moved to Gmail with a domain change for all staff emails. See below to discover what you will need to do to access the new systems on your mobile devices.
New Moodle address: https://moodle.dogrschools.org. Students will need to log out of the old grcss.org Moodle server and enter this new URL.
New District Code for Campus Portal. If you have been keeping track of student progress using the Campus Portal app you will need to change the District Code to MXCVXP and then log in with your Infinite Campus username and password.
New staff email addresses: We've moved to gmail and have a new domain @grcatholiccentral.org for all staff email addresses. If you've stored teacher or other staff member's email addresses in your contacts please update those with the new domain.
To be ready for the new school year, make sure student iPads are up-to-date with the latest version of apps and iOS (currently v. 8.4.1). New this year will be the requirement to have a passcode setup on each student iPad for security. You can set this up using Settings > Passcode. The simple 4 digit code is recommended.
Have a great start of the school year!

Thea Bosso is a 22 year-old Italian photographer, based-in Milan and Turin. "My first memory ever is my mom told me not to turn the lights on because my dad was developing film in the bathroom. The next day, first thing in the morning that when I went in the bathroom and found all our photos hanging on the wall. It was magical to me."
Thea first got into photography as a teenager. She has been shooting both film and digital, but mostly on film. "I started shooting self-portrait because it was easier and more practical than shooting other people, but with time it became a way of exploring and expressing myself. When I got into a relationship, I started taking couple self-portrait for the same reason, it's a way not only to create beautiful (and tangible, thanks to film) memories, but also a way to express my emotions in that specific moment of time."
