Hemp: The Miracle Plant
For more than ten thousand years, humans have cultivated hemp for its nutritional, medicinal, and industrial properties. Every part of the plant offers huge value:
- Flower: powerful medicinal and spiritual properties
- Seed: full of protein, amino acids, and the essential fatty acids required to sustain human life
- Stalk: source of one of the world's strongest natural industrial fibres
- Roots & leaves: feed the soil with valuable nutrients – a farmer can grow multiple crops of hemp per season in the same field for 10 years in a row without seeing a decrease in soil nutrients
There's no easier plant to grow… The hardy hemp plant thrives in almost any environment without the need for pesticides or herbicides.
It really is proof that Mother Nature loves us!
How do we love hemp? Let us count the ways…
Hemp is widely considered to be a prime candidate for humanity's first cultivated crop. Here are just a few of the common goods and products that humans have made from hemp in ancient and modern times:
Cooking Oil
Building materials
Sailing cloth
Cardboard & packaging
Lamp Oil
Agro-fibre composites
Compression-molded parts
Brake/clutch linings
Oil paints
Printing inks
Perfect for Every Meal
Add hemp seed hearts or oil to smoothies, oatmeal, scrambled eggs or tofu.
"Hemp seed literally gives essential fats to the brain that allow it to restore memories and keep it strong… [and it] works really well to fight stress and anxiety." – Dr. Oz
Meet the Canada Hemp Foods Team
Canada Hemp Foods was founded in 2006 by Robert Rae and Wally Venechuk and is located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, BC, Canada. Both men had added hemp to their diet on the recommendation of friends in order to clear up some frustrating chronic health conditions – and within weeks their ailments had cleared up, they were losing weight, and had more energy than they'd had in years! Robert and Wally became so convinced of the invaluable health benefits of this nutritious plant, they decided to start a business so they could share it with others. And Canada Hemp Foods was born!
Did You Know?
Up until the early 20th century, products made from industrial hemp were as common as plastic is today. But then aggressive anti-drug laws in the U.S. in the 1910s-1930s unfairly lumped THC-free hemp with its distant cousin, marijuana, in U.S. drug laws and everything went to pot. (Uh, pardon the pun… 😉
"Will I get high?"
You can eat all the hemp you want without any negative effects – and it won't make you fail a urinalysis test.
"Is it organic?"
Choose the option that makes you happiest.
"Is hemp legal?"
Thank goodness it's legal to grow this valuable plant in Canada!

text: To celebrate the end of another fintastic Shark Week, we are hosting a JAWsome Shark Giveaway on Facebook and Twitter! You could win a sand tiger or sandbar shark tooth! The overall number of teeth each shark has depends on diet and species. Some sharks can have as few as 10 rows of teeth, and others as many as 300! All of our sharks are constantly shedding their teeth. In general, sharks can lose anywhere from one tooth a day to one tooth every 28 days. The rows of teeth replenish themselves sort of like a vending machine—when one falls out, the one behind it shifts forward. The teeth we are giving away belonged to the sandbar shark and sand tiger shark species that live in our Open Ocean exhibit. Enter our JAWsome contest and you could win one of your very own! One of our sand tiger sharks with a loose tooth Sand tiger sharks, found in the coastal waters of North America, Japan, Australia, and South Africa, can have up to 56 rows of teeth in each jaw. On average, they lose their teeth every two to three days. Their teeth are long and jagged to help them chomp on their typical diet of bony fish, small sharks, rays, and crustaceans. Sandbar sharks usually have about 14 rows of teeth in each jaw and shed their teeth about every 10 days. The look of their teeth is more typical of what you may have seen before, flat and triangular. Commonly found in the lower Chesapeake Bay, sandbar sharks are opportunistic bottom-feeders that prey on bony fish, mollusks, crabs, and shrimp. Here's how to enter: 1) a. Like the National Aquarium on Facebook b. Like/comment on our shark tooth Facebook post AND/OR 2) a. Follow @NatlAquarium on Twitter b. Tweet us the name of your favorite shark to @NatlAquarium and include the hashtag #JAWsome Contest closes at 4:00 p.m. ET on Friday, August 17, 2012. Ten random Twitter winners and 10 random Facebook winners will be announced at approximately 4:30 p.m. ET on Friday, August 17, 2012. Entrants must live in the continental United States to win.

It seems fitting on this Fourth of July weekend to discuss the family of one of my own Revolutionary War ancestors, Atwood Mott. Atwood, it seems, was surrounded by women of unknown origin: both his mother and his wife are shrouded in mystery.
I was first introduced to Atwood in the context of a Mayflower line. In 1979, my mother and Aunt Abbie were accepted into the Mayflower Society on a line back to Stephen Hopkins through Atwood's mother Deborah Atwood. By 1998, when I tried to join the Mayflower Society on that line, it was rejected––precisely because of Deborah Atwood! I won't dwell on Deborah here except to say that that I know she's not going to be easy to find.
I haven't delved into thorough search on Atwood yet. I have two other proven Mayflower lines, so it has never seemed too critical. Plus, I know that these are not going to be simple to solve, and because I've been so preoccupied with clients, family and other ancestors, he remains on my "Requires Further Research" list. He was born 18 September 1736, in Scituate, Massachusetts, son of Ebenezer Mott Jr. and Deborah Atwood, according to the published Vital Records of Scituate (1:262). His marriage to Mrs. Hannah Whood on 23 July 1758 also is listed (2:211).
And Samuel Deane, in his History of Scituate, says only this about him: "Lieutenant Atwood Mott, a worthy man (the father of the wives of Nehemiah Merritt, Nathaniel Vinal and Laban Rose), was also son of Ebenezer, Jr. He married Hannah Hood 1758. Hannah (widow of Laban Rose) was wife of Gamaliel Merritt, 1782."
How's that for a confusing treatment? I find it odd that for a man described only in terms of his daughters' husbands, the other two women in his life are so hard to pin down. You'd never know it from the above paragraph, but the Hannah in the last sentence is his daughter, not his wife. Of his three daughters, two were married twice, both to Merritt men, not brothers. The other sister was my ancestor.
Anyway, for a "worthy" man, he doesn't get much space in the history books. He is, however, mentioned in Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution (11:168):
"Mott, Atwood, Scituate, Corporal, Capt. Samuel Stockbridge's co. of Minutemen, Col. Bailey's regt., which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775; service, 21 days; also, Lieutenant, Capt. Samuel Stockbridge's co., Gen. John Thomas's regt.; list of officers who were commissioned May 19, 1775; also, Lieutenant, same co. and regt.; muster roll dated Aug. 1, 1775; engaged May 10, 1775; service, 2 mos., 3 weeks, 6 days; also, company return dated Oct. 7, 1775; also, Capt. Seth Stowers's co., Col. J. Robinson's regt.; engaged June 27, 1777; service, 6 mos. 3 days, at Rhode Island."
Apart from his military service, the only other information I have in my notes is that he was admitted to full Communion in the First Church of Scituate on 4 February 1770 (Mayflower Descendant 10-11:208).
I don't even dare to guess at anything, though, and I think it would be jumping the gun to make any kind of research plan before even seeing land and probate records. This is the kind of project that will require writing up as I go along, and I'll have to suffer a lull in clients before I attack it, but whenever that happens, I will enjoy it, I'm sure!

In her distinguished career, including prominent positions such as state delegate and rector of the Virginia Commonwealth University Board of Visitors, Panny Rhodes has always been active and independent. In fact, she and her husband Jim had returned from a trip to the Mediterranean just days before Panny experienced a life-changing event – a devastating stroke.
Faced with decisions and many unknowns about the future, they began focusing on her recovery, starting with inpatient rehabilitation options.
"There were several recommendations, but it was pretty clear after we saw what a tremendous facility this is with the modern equipment and all the experienced therapists and doctors," Jim says of Sheltering Arms. "It was a whole new world when we got here."
In her three and a half week stay at Sheltering Arms Hospital, Panny progressed from almost complete paralysis on her right side to walking with a brace and cane. This intense rehabilitation primed Panny and Jim to continue working on her independence at home and through outpatient therapy. Since then, therapy sessions have been decreased from five to three days per week based on the tremendous progress she has made.
Having supervised her grandchildren decorating the Christmas tree, she was gratified to have gained enough independence to remove the ornaments herself after the holiday season. She is also back to folding clothes, doing dishes and even paying the bills.
"Those aren't very fun things to do, but boy, when you can't do them it's a big deal," Jim chuckles.
According to Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes, the real indication of her recovery will be when they are able to travel again.
"I want to go on a cruise," declares Panny emphatically.
If her past is any indication, all bets are that we will be wishing them Bon Voyage in no time.

|Pondering the Temple of Artemis in Turkey
The first question is an interesting one: "Will they let you take the kids out of school for a year?" All school districts are different, but we had surprisingly little interest or concern from our kids' middle school. No one from the school, the school district or the State of California has stepped forward and said that we couldn't do what we planned to do. The school was much more concerned about the minutiae of our daughter's independent study for the final trimester than for missing the entire next year. The independent Study program allows "distance learning" under a teacher's remote supervision for a period of up to 60 days. Our daughter's teachers set up an independent study curriculum with scanned pages from her math, science and language arts textbooks, as well as research reports on both the Andean Condor and the Andean ecosystem as well as a research paper on The Beatles.
The second question, "Won't they get behind in school?" is a fear that many parents share. It helps that both our kids are very good students so there is no "catching up" or learning issues to deal with. Both my wife and I both think that there is not a lot of learning going on in middle school. It is a time when kids are going through drastic physical and emotional changes and middle schools' resources are overtaxed just to keep kids from falling off the deep end. Additionally, the time required to homeschool two kids ought to be much less than the time required to teach 20 kids in a school classroom. Finally, when we did a 6-month sabbatical through Central America and Spain in 2005, both kids missed the final trimester of that school year and did not miss a beat upon returning in the Fall.
The third question, "How do you know what to teach?" is easy in theory but hard in practice. The California education standards for each grade are listed in detail at the State of California's web site. The blueprint is right there on the World Wide Web and all you have to do is print it out. In practice, the act of coming up with problems, exercises and projects that will teach the standards has given us a deeper respect for the teaching profession. Last week both our kids finished 500 word persuasive essays on the question: The Monroe Doctrine: Good or Bad for Latin America?" This week they are writing a 750 word dual biography on the twin liberators of South America: Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin.
Most of this blog entry has been about "keeping up", but there are many things that they are getting from travel that their classmates aren't. They are already intermediate-level Spanish speakers and they are acutely aware that most of the world is nothing like the privileged place they call home. They have learned that many simple things that they have taken for granted are luxuries in the developing world. They are much more open to new and different people, foods, customs, experiences and points of view. Perhaps most importantly, they will have a broader view of their responsibilities as global citizens when it comes time to choose their careers. It may be a cliché, but it also happens to be true: "Travel is Broadening".

Simple Low Cost SONOS Flash. Available in affordable 90nm foundry process
Texas Instruments Collaborates With ARM As Part Of Its Industry-Leading Silicon-Based Security Solution
DALLAS, TEXAS AND CAMBRIDGE, UK - June 29, 2004 - Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN), and ARM [(LSE:ARM); (Nasdaq:ARMHY)], today announced that TI and ARM will collaborate on a security solution that will include ARM® TrustZone™ technology. The collaboration with ARM is part of TI's overall strategy to help address growing security concerns among service providers, consumers and wireless original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). TI will implement the ARM TrustZone technology on its OMAP™ platform and family of TCS Chipsets by using the recently licensed ARM1176JZF-S™ core.
As phone theft has become a growing problem, securing information stored and protecting a phone's identity has become even more critical. Software security vulnerability can result in profitable theft of reprogrammable phones, illegal upgrades and network switching, and network vulnerability. TI is leading the market in addressing the handset security need with a silicon-based security solution. The ARM TrustZone technology will help expand TI's leadership position by providing more handset protection as new applications emerge.
"TI was the first to include hardware security features in the latest generation of GSM/GPRS chipsets," said Paul Werp, worldwide marketing director for TI's OMAP platform. "ARM TrustZone technology is a step in TI's integrated processor security strategy as we continue to address increasing security threats faced by phone manufacturers, mobile operators and content providers."
ARM TrustZone technology complements TI's wireless system solutions technology to support wireless network protection from malicious attack and to help secure e-commerce transactions, downloadable applications, games and media content. TrustZone technology also enables protection of code and data across the entire memory architecture. The ARM1176JZ-S and ARM1176JZF-S CPUs are the first ARM cores to incorporate the ARM TrustZone technology, enhancing security in portable consumer devices using open operating system applications, such as smart phones, PDAs and other wireless devices.
"As we enter a constantly connected world, the requirement for a secure environment for personal and professional information becomes more critical," said Mike Inglis, executive vice president, marketing, ARM. "As a company innovating new wireless platform technologies, TI has recognized that a true, secure environment must begin at the microprocessor core."
About TrustZone Technology
TrustZone technology provides a secure foundation for systems running open Operating Systems (OS), such as Linux, Palm OS, Symbian OS and Windows CE. In addition, TrustZone technology complements secure application environments such as Sun Microsystems' Java technology by making security implementation on devices more efficient. ARM TrustZone technology is implemented within the microprocessor core itself and extended into the system design, enabling the protection of on-chip memory and peripherals. Since the security elements of the system are designed into the core hardware, security issues surrounding proprietary, non-portable solutions outside the core are removed. In this way, security is maintained as an intrinsic feature at the heart of every device, with minimal impact to the core area or performance, while enabling developers to build any additional security, for example cryptography, onto the secure hardware foundation.
Texas Instruments - Making Wireless
TI is the leading manufacturer of wireless semiconductors, delivering the heart of today's wireless technology and building solutions for tomorrow. TI provides a breadth of silicon and software and 15 years of wireless systems expertise that spans handsets and base stations for all communications standards, wireless LAN, Bluetooth and Ultra Wideband. TI offers custom to turn-key solutions, including complete chipsets and reference designs, OMAP™ application processors, as well as core digital signal processor and analog technologies built on advanced semiconductor processes.

Hello Cupcake is one of the latest cupcake shops to hit the DC scene. I decided to taste test the peanut butter blossom cupcake, a chocolate cupcake topped with peanut butter frosting, and it did not disappoint. After all peanut butter and chocolate are the ultimate pairing. This cupcake was everything I wanted my cupcake to be. The chocolate was rich but not overwhelming, the cake was light and moist, and the frosting....oh the frosting. The peanut butter frosting was sweet, nutty, smooth, and creamy. Let's just say I would go to town on that frosting if left alone with a bowl. With other flavors such as 24 carrot, triple coconut, heart of darkness, and velvet elvis they have something for everybody and at $3 a cupcake I will be visiting them again.

It's harvest-time. Redcurrants have been extracted, black and white currants have been eaten, and also gooseberries and blueberries. Cherries are still maturing. They will be extracted. There will be lots of apples, but lots of them are already rotten. I'm hopeful to get a few pumpkins. I've got lots of cucumbers, tomatoes and basil. There a lot of chokeberries too. The birds like them.

Virtual Villagers 2 - The Lost Children
General puzzle strategy guide:
Most of the puzzles are dependent upon some combination of Village Tech,
villager skills, and other puzzles. Although some puzzles depend upon the
completion of specific puzzles, the 16 puzzles are rarely completed in
the order that you see them on the puzzle screen. Pay attention to the
things that your villagers are curious about and the messages that you
see when you take one of your villagers "exploring" around the island.
These often provide clues that will help you solve the puzzles. Another
good strategy is to drag one of your adult villagers around the island
after every tech purchase and look for new things that they can work on,
since many of the technologies open up new possibilities for your
villagers. Most of the frustration related to solving the puzzles is
brought on by impatience. It takes time for your villagers to gain the
necessary skills and technology to work through all of the puzzles.
Hints for the 16 puzzles:
You can safely browse these if you just need a gentle push in the right
direction. Each puzzle is referred to by number. The puzzles are counted
sequentially, with 1 being the leftmost puzzle in the top row, and 16
being the rightmost puzzle in the bottom row.
Puzzle 1 - is something that will provide warmth, protection, and
technological advantage to your tribe. It can be solved at the beginning
of the game.
Puzzle 2 - requires a certain level of technology and will allow your
villagers to enjoy a regular, if limited, source of food.
Puzzle 3 - requires the completion of Puzzle 2 and a skilled villager to
fashion something that will protect one of the sources of food.
Puzzle 4 - requires a certain level of technology and a highly skilled
villager who will fashion something that your villagers will need in
order to completely explore some areas of the village.
Puzzle 5 - involves the flowers and herbs located in various parts of the
village. This puzzle can be completed at the beginning of the game.
Puzzle 6 - requires a villager with well-rounded skills.
Puzzle 7 - will open up an unlimited food supply by restoring the ocean
to its former condition. You will need to have highly skilled villagers
and a certain level of technology.
Puzzle 8 - reveals ancient writings. Your villagers will need a certain
level of technology, as well as the completion of Puzzle 4.
Puzzle 9 - requires the completion of Puzzle 1, a certain level of
technology, a hidden item, and the flowers and herbs that your villagers
can find in various parts of the village.
Puzzle 10 - requires a certain level of two different technologies. Drag
a villager to the southeast part of the village.
Puzzle 11 - is a special building that requires a certain level of
technology. You will see a foundation appear, which your villagers can
work on.
Puzzle 12 - is another special building that requires a certain level of
technology. You will see a foundation appear, which your villagers can
work on.
Puzzles 13-16 - involve the recovery of pieces of the Gong of Wonder,
which can be retrieved only after meeting the necessary requirements.
Retrieving the pieces will variously involve teamwork among skilled
villagers, purchasing of required levels of Village Tech, and completion
of Puzzles 6, 9, and 10. Your villagers will reveal some clues as you try
various things in the game, and there will be more specific clues that
you can study when you complete Puzzle 8.
Detailed spoilers for the 16 puzzles:
Don't read these unless you want to know EXACTLY how to solve each of
the puzzles.
Puzzle 1 involves building a fire in the fire pit. Drag one of your
villagers to the pile of dry wood in the southwest part of the village
to gather firewood. After the wood is placed in the fire pit, take a
villager to the very dry grass that can be found to the west of the
coconut trees. Once the firewood and dry grass have been placed in the
fire pit, drag a villager there to light the fire. You will need to
replenish the firewood periodically to keep the fire from going out.
Puzzle 2 is the construction of a dam that will divert water from the
stream to an area that can be used for farming. After you purchase
Level 2 of Engineering Tech, drag a villager to the rocks that are in
the middle of the lower portion of the stream. You will see a message,
"He/she could probably build a dam here."
Puzzle 3 is a scarecrow that an adept farmer can construct in order to
protect the crops from the birds. Drag an adept or master farmer to the
twisted pieces of wood and vines that are located in the northern portion
of the village. The scarecrow requires two trips to complete, so make
sure that you finish the construction, or your crops will not be
Puzzle 4 is the fashioning of special cutting tools that will be needed
to cut away vegetation in some parts of the village. After purchasing
Level 2 of Exploration Tech, drag a master scientist to the northern
part of the village where he will see something among the rocks near
the twisted pieces of wood and vines. Your scientist will need to make
a second trip to finish the tools, so take him to the twisted wood and
vines to get the necessary materials.
Puzzle 5 is completed when your villagers learn mastery of six special
plants located in various parts of the village. Drag a villager to each
of them and watch for the message that each has been mastered. The plants
are (beginning in the northwest part of the village and moving clockwise):
the odd-looking plant immediately to the left of the very dry grass, the
blue flower between the thorns and the rocks, the small lavender flower
at the northern edge of the graveyard, the black flowers near the waterfall,
the bright reddish flowers south of the dam site, and the large orange-red
flower at the south edge of the village.
Puzzle 6 is completed when you have sufficiently trained a villager to
become master in three skills. That villager will become an Esteemed
Elder, and a totem will be created to commemorate their new status in
the village.
Puzzle 7 is the elimination of the algae in the ocean that was caused by
over fishing. After purchasing Level 3 of Farming Tech, take a master farmer
or master scientist to the pond, where they will collect algae-eating fish
that they can use to repopulate the ocean. Once sufficient fish have been
placed in the ocean, the algae will once again be under control and the
villagers will have unrestricted fishing.
Puzzle 8 is the removal of the vines that cover the wall on the east side
of the village. After you purchase Level 3 of Culture Tech and have
completed Puzzle 4, drag a villager to the vine-covered wall and they
will begin cutting away the vines.
Puzzle 9 is the ability to make various stews for your villagers. To make
stew, you will need to have purchased Level 2 of Exploration Tech,
retrieved the cauldron from the wood pile, mastered at least one of the
special plants, and started a fire in the fire pit. The steps to make a
stew are: 1) Drop a villager on the cauldron to put the cauldron on the
fire 2) Drop a villager on the cauldron again, and he or she will go
get water for the stew 3) Drop a villager on any of the mastered plants,
and the villager will gather herbs for the stew. Each stew requires a
total of 3 herbs, in any combination. 4) Drop a villager on the cauldron
again, and he or she will go get food to add to the stew. When the stew
is complete, the villager will move the cauldron off the fire. Some
stews are good, some are bad, and some make your villagers do interesting
things. Experiment and have fun with them. You can also find different
"recipe books" that have been created for the game that contain all of
the stew combinations.
Puzzle 10 requires Level 3 of both Engineering Tech and Exploration Tech.
Drag a villager to the ancient covered floor in the southeast part of the
village and they will begin uncovering the site.
Puzzle 11 is the construction of a hospital. After you purchase both Level
3 of Engineering Tech and Medicine Tech, a foundation will appear that
your villagers can work on.
Puzzle 12 is the construction of a sewing hut, which will allow you to
change the clothing that your villagers are wearing. After you purchase
Level 2 of Culture Tech, a foundation will appear that your villagers
can work on.
Puzzles 13-16 are the pieces of the Gong of Wonder. The four pieces can
be retrieved in the following ways: A team of 3 Master Builders can open
the crate on the beach, where one of the pieces has been hidden.
After purchasing Level 2 of Exploration, your villagers can clear the
thorns blocking access to the gong encasement, which will also reveal a
piece of the gong.
Prepare a magic stew that will allow one of your villagers to dive for
the sunken gong piece in the pond. The herbs needed for that magic stew
are: one of the black flower near the waterfall and two of the red-orange
flower on the south side of the village. The pictures of the required herbs
can be seen in the drawings on the wall once the vines have been removed.
After finishing Puzzles 6 and 10, drop a totem in the center of the uncovered
mosaic to reveal a piece of the gong. Once the gong is assembled you can
experiment with the effects that it has on your village. You can bang
the gong once every 24 hours.

It's been a while since we've seen Steve-O (of "Jackass" fame) in all his glory.
While he's not engaging in hardcore stunts this time around, he's having the time of his life watching others feel the pain. As host of "Killer Karaoke," a new game show that has contestants try to sing their favorite tunes while horrible things happen to them, Steve-O is front and center for the action. We're hard-pressed to think of anyone more qualified to host a game show of this type. Who else could you envision laughing aloud while people have skunks spray in their face or deal with snakes coiling around their hands?
HuffPost TV Canada caught up with Steve-O and chatted about "Killer Karaoke," how his sobriety is going, and why he's the "white trash Ryan Seacrest."

OutlookOkanogan.com a new Vacation Rental Management Business.
By Elizabeth Rogers
Published: 07/09/18 Topics: Goldener Inns, Sunspots Vacation Rentals, Vacation Rentals, Vortex Managers Comments:
With the growth of Vacation Rentals around the world, a new company named "Outlook Okanogan" was started in June by long time valley residents and lodging experts Clyde and Sandy Andrews of Oroville.
"Although we have been operating the Camaray Motel for years, we frequently stay in vacation rental homes when we travel personally. We can see that many second home owners in the Okanogan Valley need reliable local management to safely rent their homes for profit." says Clyde.
The new business is located in Oroville and offers staff and services throughout the entire valley including, Omak, Oroville, Okanogan, Tonasket, and down to Brewster. The new website is OutlookOkanogan.com
Guests will find a wide variety of cabins, condos and homes advertised on OutlookOkanogan.com including rentals all over the Northwest from rental partners. The website features many large photos, 360 degree panoramas and even three dimensional tours that allow guests to virtually walk through a home before booking.
Outlook Okanogan has partnered with the Vortex Organization, a back office service company, that allows them to combine global advertising, stunning photography, world class website, reservations and 24/7 customer service..
Sandy notes, "Most local managers try to do it all themselves and property owners fail to earn sufficient income. With Vortex we can offer owners maximum income, with minimum fuss. We do it all."
Unlike most managers, Outlook Okanogan offers services a-la-carte so owners can choose from their Full-House full service program, or pick and choose the services they want such as hospitality grade housekeeping, world wide advertising, home watch and guest services.
Outlook Okanogan programs are on a flex-fee basis so that owners only pay for what they want. The company even has booking only services for owners who already do their own rentals, often from afar.
Clyde and Sandy, originally from Portland and Centralia respectively, have been valley residents for 10 years, and in the hospitality industry for decades. They also provide extra bookings and marketing to local inns, resorts and hotels usually with no up-front cost and payment is fully contingent meaning all properties only pay when the new company makes them money.
"Every one wants to make money, but safety is first which is why having professionals like Clyde and Sandy onsite is crucial to operating a vacation rental home safely." Said Penny Taylor a Vortex Partner.
" There is really no other rental organization that can match our flex-fee prices along with our commitment to take very attentive care of their homes' said Clyde. "We even have home-minder services for second home owners who do not want to rent."
OutlookOkanogan allows guests from around the state or around the world to discover a most prized destination in Washington. Whether it be a romantic getaway or a family outing with your loved ones, customers can now book instantly online with great rates and friendly service.
To book online, go to OutlookOkanogan.com or call 509-846-7900, open every day of the year. Owners are invited to call for free market evaluation of their property.

Last weekend, YouTube yanked a popular music video from Robin Thicke, which featured a number of topless models prancing to the rather upbeat track. The video for "Blurred Lines" had garnered more than one million views before it was found to be in violation of the video sharing service's community guidelines regarding Sex and Nudity. A few days later, the VEVO upload of the same uncensored music video was pulled down about 30 minutes after we first noticed that it was still available on YouTube.
Was it the breasts? Of course. But there's plenty of nudity on YouTube, in plenty of music videos. And how YouTube's army of censor-drones decides what stays and what goes—what's art and what's porn—shapes the internet in a powerful way.
Move the arrow in the image above to see the NSFW version of this "Blurred Lines" scene that YouTube pulled.
YouTube's official comment as to why the VEVO version of "Blurred Lines" was pulled down was the same as the original: It had been flagged as inappropriate and thus yanked. Did I flag the video by publishing my original story? Maybe. After all, the VEVO version was uploaded two days after the original went up and remained up for about five days.
According to YouTube's guidelines regarding nudity and sex, any video that's "intended to be sexually provocative" is probably going to be taken down. That's not to say that videos being uploaded to YouTube are being screened ahead of time. In fact, questionable videos are only taken down when the community has flagged it as inappropriate or found it to be in violation of the guidelines. That flagged video is then reviewed by actual humans in different YouTube offices in different countries around the clock. There's no algorithm that determines whether the artistic context outweighs the sexual context. In other words, the nudity's intent must be artistic rather than sexually provocative. And that decision is made be people sitting in an office.
So, was Thicke's music video with nearly nude models prancing around art or porn? Take the song and its lyrics into context and you can basically surmise that its intent was most definitely meant to be sexually provocative. I mean, come on. But still, where does the line get drawn? Well, that's where it gets tricky.
They Know It When They See It
Once a video is flagged for nudity and/or sex and depending on the nature of the scenes involved, one of three things happens once the humans at YouTube have given it a look:
A) Nothing! The video stays up.
B) If the scenes in question are deemed artistic then YouTube puts an age gate in place.
C) If it crosses the line, then it gets taken down.
But what exactly are those humans looking for when reviewing any flagged video? YouTube won't divulge that information, which is smart of them. Once you make public the rules or guidelines, you're only going to make it that much easier for users to circumvent and take the whole system down from the inside out.
It could also be seen as a tacit admission that there are no rules or guidelines that could possibly separate pornography from art. What Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart said about porn 50 years ago still holds true today:
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I see it.
Censorship By Degrees
YouTube's judgment isn't a simple yes or no, either; age gates are only put in place after videos have been flagged. A record label, for instance, can't restrict a video to 18+ before uploading it. Only YouTube can do that, and only if it believes the video in question doesn't violate its guidelines but also isn't exactly appropriate for kids.
No preemptive restrictions sort of makes sense; why would you preemptively cut down on your audience size? But it also just introduces another level of judgment call, an extra dash of murk in an already opaque process. Music video vendor VEVO, on the other hand, basically doesn't touch anything that any artist uploads:
VEVO is a platform where artists of all types can express themselves freely through music and video. We do not and have never censored any music video distributed through our platform. We do clearly label when a video is explicit or clean, so our viewers can choose which version they would like to watch. We also sometimes include a Parental Advisory notice because we do believe it important to inform parents and viewers about any video content we distribute that may not be suitable for all viewers.
Fair enough.
What Stays, What Goes
But what about all those other videos that are still up on YouTube that are clearly way more explicit in nature than anything seen in Thicke's video? Like Sigur Rós' "Fjögur píanó," starring Shia Lebouf and his wang? (Below, NSFW obviously.) That's apparently art for the sake of art, and one that record labels point to when YouTube believes that an artist's videos aren't pretentious enough to be safe from the chopping block, as told to me by someone in the music business.
Will Google take this one down too? No. It does warn you that there is nudity and it's been put behind an age gate already and it appears as though double jeopardy is also in effect.
But still, Thicke's video, as suggestive as it might be, is just a music video from a household name that's pretty innocent when compared to others—mostly of the heavy/black/goth metal genre—that readers dropped into comments when my story first ran. Since then, those videos—including Amanda Palmer's double-plus-naked "Do It With a Rockstar"—have been taken down from YouTube. What's even more interesting about the takedown of Palmer's video is that when it was released in November of last year, nearly every publication, including Gawker, called the video an alt porn or something of that ilk. And yet nothing happened. Shortly after it had been inadvertantly "flagged" by me, it was taken down. I swear I'm not a narc. (Please don't gut me, Amanda.)
Meanwhile, this Rammstein music video (NSFW!) has got plenty of nudity and not what most people would consider art. Or does it? And how can the person who makes the call ultimately decide that for the rest of us?
So how do artists feel about their "art" being taken down? It doesn't seem to be as big a deal these days. Both Thicke and Palmer redirected fans via Twitter to other hosting sites like VEVO and Vimeo.
Basically, you have to be a giant prude to think most of these music videos are all that offensive. There are worse things on the internet than a few naked body parts flailing about on YouTube. Just don't be the jerk that ruins it for the rest of us, myself included.
What's more unnerving is how pointless all of this is. There are far more nastier and truly horrific things on the Internet than a pair of bare breasts. Sure, some videos definitely cross the line and are cause for concern, but this is an impossible business to be in and YouTube could be redirecting all that man power to something greater.
Besides, if you just keep the naughty bits to 18+, the power to decide whether it's too porngraphic will lie in the hands of the only people that matter: the ones watching it.
Update: And now the Rammstein video has been pulled.

Gila Campaign
Keeping the Gila Wild and Free
The New Mexico Wilderness Alliance has been busy working on many fronts in and around the Gila Wilderness, the birthplace of the wilderness protection movement and our state's largest wilderness.
Together, these efforts represent two main objectives: 1) Comprehensive Wilderness defense and restoration of the Gila - "Keep the Gila Wild" and 2) Comprehensive wilderness protection.
Our ongoing activities focus on the most immediate and significant threat of diverting the country's first wilderness river and the last free flowing one in New Mexico and one related component of our larger vision of increasing permanent protections in the greater Gila region, namely securing Wild and Scenic status for the Gila River.
The National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 has been called the "sister of the Wilderness Act" and we believe it is an important tool to a comprehensive conservation approach that would include the protection of the larger watersheds and surrounding lands with wilderness characteristics.
Beginning in summer 2013, the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance began conducting citizen-based wilderness inventories throughout the Gila National Forest. We estimate there are more than one million acres of public lands eligible for wilderness designation or other protective measures in the Gila region.
Our goal is the permanent protection of these areas through the creation and expansion of Wilderness in the Gila region, together with designating the Gila River and other eligible streams as Wild and Scenic Rivers.
Threats to these core roadless areas include:
• River diversions
• Off-road vehicles
• Illegal user-created roads
• Mining claims
• Illegal grazing
What we have done so far
Core to our work in the Gila are more than 50 citizen scientists who are hiking and inventorying the forest.
- 15,000 Volunteer Hours. (on the ground conducting wilderness and wild & scenic rivers inventory)
- 200 Volunteers engaged
- 620,000 Acres Inventoried
- 762 River miles surveyed of the Gila River, San Francisco River and their tributaries for inclusion in the Wild and Scenic Rivers system.
- 1,000+ Miles hiked in the Gila National Forest
As a part of our inventory efforts we have focused our documentation on naturalness of areas, opportunities for solitude and primitive forms of recreation, and to what degree these areas appear primarily influenced by the forces of nature. We also document human impacts and infrastructure, as well as the condition of certain U.S. Forest Service (USFS) roads that may be eligible for decommissioning.
Moving forward: Our inventory data will be used as a part of the upcoming Gila National Forest Land Use Plan Revision, scheduled to start in the spring of 2015—an opportunity for the public to influence and propose best management practices for the forest for the next 20-plus years.
Only an act of Congress can designate river segments as Wild and Scenic. However, the USFS planning process provides us an opportunity to submit data and advocate that the agency recommended river segments be designated Wild and Scenic.
"We speak a lot about the benefit to humans in the preservation of wilderness. Let us speak for all the wild creatures, waters, and foliage today. As we know humans are not the only species on Earth.
The Gila River originating in America's first designated wilderness area deserves to stay wild and free as nature intended. I adamantly oppose a pipeline diversion project on the Gila River. We can all work together to gain National Wild and Scenic River designation for the Gila River."
~Brett Myrick, veteran
"The question of whether or not to support the maintenance and expansion of wilderness baffles me. In my ears it sounds like this: Would you be in support of having a home that feeds your mind, body, and spirit? The only answer is yes. Our lives depend on it."
~Catalina Claussen, teacher at Aldo Leopold Charter School
"I support protecting the Gila Wilderness because I want to able to say I helped save the Earth. I think everyone should want to say that and I want to open the door for people to say that!" ~Charlee E., 9th grade at Aldo Leopold Charter School
"I support protecting the Gila Wilderness because the natural environment of the Gila provides a refuge for residents, a peaceful sanctuary, and it is essential to the ecosystems of southwest New Mexico. I support protecting the Gila River from damming and diversion because there are more efficient alternatives to provide water for the Southwest, it would ruin the ecosystem, it would destroy the last free flowing river in New Mexico, and it would change the Gila Wilderness forever. I feel like all of the Gila should be protected from industry, and it should be protected from human impact."
~Olivia M., 10th grade at Aldo Leopold Charter School
"Southwestern New Mexico contains some of the last genuinely wild places in the lower 48 states. For a thousand reasons, we must preserve the precious few wild natural areas in our country. The plants and animals who live in the Gila Wilderness allotments have as much right to live and to thrive undisturbed as do we humans. They depend on us for their survival and I believe we are obliged to follow the dictum of "live and let live," particularly since we have already done the opposite in over 90 percent of our country.
Expert analysis has shown that protecting the Gila River from damming and diversion would not be cost-effective in terms of water stored and diverted, and would also permanently and negatively alter a fragile, life-affirming, and dynamic ecological treasure. The projects being considered are truly billion-dollar boondoggles that would enrich the few at the expense of many. The treasures that would be destroyed are priceless.
I believe expanding Gila wilderness areas and formally designating the Gila as a Wild and Scenic River are solemn duties to present and future generations, not only for the benefit of humans but for all other living things. We are at a critical point in the history of these resources inasmuch as they are under direct, powerful threats to their integrity and preservation. Therefore, it is our responsibility to counter these threats effectively, with the force of laws that will be upheld in perpetuity."
~Richard Mahler, author, editor, publisher, and photographer
"The Gila River and Wilderness are the heartbeat to my business, and the replenishment of my soul. I go out for a hike almost every day, and have for nearly 10 years, and rarely do I run into other people. Those moments with my spouse and dogs, interacting with nature, give me calm and perspective on the hectic life I live back in my restaurant."
~Rob Connoley, Owner of the Curious Kumquat in Silver City

The cause of the Sept. 25 fire in the 700 block of Front Street in Georgetown has still not been released and no time frame has been given on when investigators will make their findings public.
Thom Berry, spokesman for the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, told the Georgetown Times Tuesday the investigation "is still open and ongoing."
No other details were released.
Georgetown Fire Chief Joey Tanner said he "is surprised" the report has not been released. He said SLED asked for and received copies of reports from his department and the Georgetown Police Department a couple of weeks ago. He said that is usually the last request that is made before a SLED investigation is complete.
"They do have a lot of processes they have to go through," Tanner said.

Count Dooku: Chapter 4 - Minikits
Count Dooku: Chapter 4 - Minikits
Chapter 4 - Defenders of Peace[edit]
From your starting position, head east along the cliff's edge until you arrive at the first Minikit.
After destroying the silver blockade, head to the north wall and you'll find a bounty hunter console. Interact with it and you'll be tasked to destroy 50 droids in a minute and a half. If you're successful you'll earn Minikit #2.
Head to the Northeast wall, and you'll find a large rock with a red aura around it. Use the Dark Side to dismantle it, and then collect your Minikit.
On the East wall, you'll find a console that you'll need to use Robonino to interact with. This will reveal a grapple hook above you. Grapple on to it to reveal the fourth Minikit.
On the Southeast cliff, you'll find a console for C3PO to interact with. This will reveal buttons around the level for you to run over with your speeder. After following the path indicated by the green lights and hitting all the buttons, you'll be rewarded with a Minikit (Know that you will have to drop down a small cliff to continue down the path).
Head to the west cliff (to the east of your landing site), and build with the loose pieces on the ground to create a console for R2 to interact with. After you hop in the lawn mower, follow the trail of blue studs to your right to collect your Minikit.
Destroy three of those wretched Separatist tanks, and you'll find a Minikit in the rubble of the last one.
For the 8th Minikit, capture the northwest Separatist zone. Then build three objects in the zone, as long as they aren't built on top of the pad where the Separatist barracks are. The Minikit will appear in a crater underneath that very spot.
There are ten trees located around the level. Destroy them all to collect a Minikit.
The final Minikit can be found, as in a few other RTS levels, by building a Minikit Generator. To do so, you'll need a large amount of studs and a lot of captured zones. In the first captured zone, you can build a cannon. In the next, you can build Small Air Support. In the third, you can build Barracks. Continue capturing zones and building new equipment until you unlock the privilege to build Minikit Generator. After it's built, have a Clone interact with it to collect your prize.

Use the service unit {{ic|fail2ban.service}}, refer to [[systemd]] for instructions.

Revision as of 22:37, 9 July 2014
Fail2ban scans various textual log files and bans IP that makes too many password failures by updating firewall rules to reject the IP address, similar to Sshguard.
Install fail2ban from the official repositories.
If you want Fail2ban to send an email when someone has been banned, you have to configure SSMTP (for example).
Use the service unit
fail2ban.service, refer to systemd for instructions.
You might need this package.. community/python2-systemd
Currently, fail2ban requires to run as root, therefore you may wish to consider some additional hardening on the process with systemd. Ref:systemd for Administrators, Part XII
For added security consider limiting fail2ban capabilities by specifying
CapabilityBoundingSet in the drop-in configuration file for the provided
[Service] CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH CAP_NET_ADMIN CAP_NET_RAW
In the example above,
CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH will allow fail2ban full read access, and
CAP_NET_ADMIN and
CAP_NET_RAW allow setting of firewall rules with iptables. Additional capabilities may be required, depending on your fail2ban configuration. See
man capabilities for more info.
Filesystem Access
Also considering limiting file system read and write access, by using ReadOnlyDirectories and ReadWriteDirectories, again under the
[Service] section. For example:
ReadOnlyDirectories=/ ReadWriteDirectories=/var/run/fail2ban /var/lib/fail2ban /var/spool/postfix/maildrop /tmp
In the example above, this limits the file system to read-only, except for
/var/run/fail2ban for pid and socket files, and
/var/spool/postfix/maildrop for postfix sendmail. Again, this will be dependent on you system configuration and fail2ban configuration. The
/tmp directory is needed for some fail2ban actions. Note that adding
/var/log is necessary if you want fail2ban to log its activity.
SSH jail
/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf and modify the ssh-iptables section to enable it and configure the action.
If your firewall is iptables:
[ssh-iptables] enabled = true filter = sshd action = iptables[name=SSH, port=ssh, protocol=tcp] sendmail-whois[name=SSH, email@example.com, email@example.com] logpath = /var/log/auth.log maxretry = 5
Fail2Ban from version 0.9 can also read directly from the systemd journal by setting
backend = systemd.
If your firewall is shorewall:
[ssh-shorewall] enabled = true filter = sshd action = shorewall sendmail-whois[name=SSH, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com] logpath = /var/log/auth.log maxretry = 5
BLACKLISTNEWONLY to
No in
/etc/shorewall/shorewall.conf otherwise the rule added to ban an IP address will affect only new connections.
Also do not forget to add/change:
LogLevel VERBOSE
in your
/etc/ssh/sshd_config. Else, password failures are not logged correctly.

In order to Lead Your Business To Success…
You need to learn…
…what you didn't in school
…or working for someone else
And that a Successful Entrepreneur has to…
…Think differently
…Make better decisions
…Take action faster
…And become the Leader of their business.
In order to do so, you need a framework consisting of:
1. Community
2. Relationships
3. Your Business
4. You
5. Action/Goals
(Think of this as a dart board or target going from the outside starting with number 1 and then moving inward with number 5 being the bulls eye).
1. Community
Where ever you are in your journey as an entrepreneur having a community of other like-minded entrepreneurs is essential. Let's face it, unless you are an entrepreneur you don't understand what it's like to be an entrepreneur. Unless they are entrepreneurs themselves, your family, friends, acquaintances, and anyone else in your life, will not understand and usually won't offer you much support. Being an entrepreneur can be a very lonely existence without that community support from other entrepreneurs.
This is not a competitive environment but a collaborative, supportive, giving community of entrepreneurs. I believe the competitive model is dead and that community and collaboration is the way business is succeeding and will be done moving forward. That's not to say that every business owner is not wanting to be the best at what they are doing. We thrive on making a positive change in the business environment and our communities which can only be done by being the best at what we do.
To get to the next level entrepreneurs need others that are further along in their businesses to help them move forward. Entrepreneurs at every level of the stages of entrepreneur evolution that are willing to help others get there too.
2. Relationships
I believe that business is now created through relationships. The old 20th century model of marketing and sales that consisted of talking someone into buying what they didn't want or need, is outdated, dead and gone. The new model consists of helping entrepreneurs understand that business in the 21st century is about knowing who you want to work with because you have a passion and purpose to help those people succeed that is related to who you are. And that by creating relationships with those people and helping them with what they are concerned about, you will succeed as an entrepreneur.
No more going to groups and meetings and feeling uncomfortable because people are trying to constantly sell something to you. Now your business can now be conducted in a new, exciting, easy, simple, and fun way that is the most powerful way to get you to where you want to go.
3. Your Business
Most entrepreneurs start a business to sell a product or service, but don't know anything about business. And even if you are a seasoned entrepreneur, you may not know all of the components of business that you need in place to be the success you want to be. Even though you may have the entrepreneurial spirit, you are also creating a business. A business is like a machine, if all the parts of the machine aren't working together as they should, the machine will not run at it's capacity and will eventually stop working.
Understanding all of the components of your business; what they are, how they work together, and how to make them run at capacity is essential to your business success.
4. You
Your business should never become a job that is only existing to create money to pay for your bills. If you are working only to create money when you hit a roadblock you will have nothing to help move you forward through that roadblock. You will have nothing that comes from inside you that will help you move forward.
You as the business owner can lose that entrepreneurial spirit and end up working for the business instead of the business working for you to get you to where you want to go. You need to know who you are, why you want to play the game, and why you want to win.
You need to be able to connect the dots by making sure you have found your passion. This is what you would do even if you had all the money you would ever need. This is what you would do after all of your needs have been met. This is what you can't wait to get up in the morning to do everyday. Then connecting that passion to your goals. Connecting your goals to your vision and then connecting your vision to your purpose.
5. Action Steps/ Goals
All of the above 1-4 are critical to being a successful entrepreneur. But if you are not setting goals and following action steps to reach those goals, all is for naught. These goals must be the ones that will help you get to where you ultimately want to go, and in the fastest way possible. You need to be pushed outside your comfort zone in order to make this happen. Being pushed outside your comfort zone is when you grow and develop to become the leader of your business so you can take it through the various levels to reach your ultimate goals and vision.
Many business owners set goals, create action steps but never reach those goals. And even if they do, those goals aren't the goals that will get them to where they ultimately want to go. Being pushed outside your comfort zone is scary for most of us. Many businesses evolve as time goes by but most business owners do not. They have the same skills they had when they started their business. Only by being pushed outside of your comfort zone to reach for those bigger goals by taking the action steps required to get there can you evolve to be the leader you need to be and get to where you want to go.
Come and experience the difference of my new Ultrapreneur Success Groups that will help you learn what you need to know to Lead Your Business To Success and create the business and life you really want!

WidgetBrowser is an application which collects all available TurboGears Widgets installed on your system and allows you to preview all TurboGears Widgets available to you easily and view their documentation and source code.
You can access WidgetBrowser by opening it directly from the toolbox.
Let's take the AutoComplete widget as an example.
The Sample Tab displays the widget as it would look in your application. It is fully functional, so feel free to type a few letters to test the functionality. To see the source code that's being used to display the sample, flip over to the appropriately named Source Code tab. It's not always obvious what a particular widget does given only the preview and source, so the widget author can provide both a Description and the list of Parameters, which the WidgetBrowser displays.
TurboGears widgets were designed to provide common behavior without necessarily being tied to a particular view. To this end, it's possible to modify the templates and the Template tab provides you with a starting point to modify as you see fit.
In summary:
|Tab Name
|An example of a widget instance.
|Source Code
|The Python code needed to invoke the widget.
|The Kid template for the sample.
|Describes the behavior for unusually-behaving (read "Ajax") widgets.
|Lists parameters for widgets which take extra parameters.
TurboGears attempts to provide a solid collection of the most common widgets, but can't cover all possible widgets. To that end the TurboGears Cogbin provides a collecting point for more exotic widget collections.
