I wanted to go to my Mom's today and I wanted to go immediately. I didn't want to wait for my son to finish his game so he could save it. My son asked, "Mom, how come when you say something, I need to do it right away? When I want something, you can say, wait until I am done."
Pause-- long pause! My, my, little M had a great point. Why do children have to be logical as they get older. Why can't Mom always be the most beautiful, all knowing creature I was when he was 2 and 3 years old. I couldn't do anything wrong. And now, when I do something wrong, he points it out.
I finally answered, as he is looking at me with his all impatient face, and answer, "I guess I should stop doing that to you, huh?"
"Yes, because it isn't fair," he answered.
Why do I think I have the right to expect him to jump up and do something when I ask him, and when he asks me I tell him to wait until I am done doing whatever I am doing. He is far more important than anything else I do.
Thanks, little man, for pointing out things that bother you. I am fortunate enough that M feels comfortable enough to bring up injustices that he sees in his life. It gives me one more thing to work on to become a better parent.
I think that everyone who is older, more tenured, or in a position of authority should remember not to expect something of someone else if they wouldn't be expected to do the same thing.

Our Weekend
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We didn't do a whole lot, but it was nice!
I was at a friend's house this week, and she had these napkins! so funny…and so true! Speaking of wine, we bought this bottle of Sancerre for our dinner Friday night and it was delicious! If you are ever in need of a good bottle (but don't want to spend a fortune) go to Underdog Wine Co. in the Crestwood Shops. They have a wonderful selection of unique wines you won't find at your grocery store or Costco. I am partial to French Whites; and this Sancerre was a perfect match to our salmon diner (Blue Apron again!)
Since the kids were off school on Friday, I dragged them with me shopping for Valentine's. Paper Source is always the best place to find a kitschy card. After that we went to see Kung Fu Panda 3; super cute if you haven't seen it yet.… Continue Reading
A new endeavor…
If you have been a follower of this blog for a while you have seen my best girls/sorority sisters in photos. These girls are like family; we went to college at Indiana University, lived in Chicago together, saw one another through good/bad career moves, bad boyfriends and breakups, marriages, babies, health issues, moves, promotions, milestones, you name it! I can't imagine my life without them…
What started out as the group of us texting 100 times a day about random things like kids sleep issues, botox, how to not go insane when our kids are driving us crazy, or recipes to get our kids to eat vegetables, turned into an idea.
With all of our diverse personalities, backgrounds, and issues wouldn't it be fun/funny/maybe even terrifying to share these things on a blog? Surely there are other mom's going through the same stuff. Maybe all of you out there can relate?… Continue Reading
Our Weekend
Happy Monday everyone! Kids are not in school today, so the "weekend" is definitely dragging on. The walls of the apartment are closing in after spending two days pretty much at home. I feel like everyone is going a little stir crazy!
We had a great weekend. We were both exhausted from a crazy work week, so on Friday we stayed in and cooked Salmon with Brussel Sprouts and Saffron Rice. Salmon is SO easy, we just do olive oil with salt and pepper and bake it at 350 for 20-30 minutes. If you buy good Salmon (we get ours at McGonigles Market) you don't necessarily need a lot of seasoning. We try to do this at least once a week for dinner.
Saturday the Chiefs played, so we went to friends to watch the game (which was disappointing to say the least) and after that we took the kids home to the babysitter and went out to eat.… Continue Reading
Life Lately…
I kind of fell off the map this past week. Christmas break was fun in the beginning, but exhausting at the end. It's not easy trying to entertain two sick kids who are house bound for almost 2 weeks. By yesterday I had checked out…not a proud parent moment but I was just kind of done. I wanted to go and hide in my closet and not answer to anyone all day. We ended break with some movie watching, painting, popcorn making and video game playing. Why not just soak up one last day of vacation?
But, in all fairness to the kids, they were probably the best behaved they have been in a long time…maybe it was because they weren't feeling good and they were too tired to harass one another?! But they actually played so nice together. New toys helped, having Jon around to play also was a huge help!… Continue Reading
2016: #goals
Well, it's the first post of the new year! As I write this, it is NYE, both my kids AND my husband are asleep. A bad cold has hit our household and at least one person has been sick since Christmas. Needless to say it's been a long week, but we have gotten through it. We had a great dinner at Capital Grille, I enjoyed multiple *and much needed * glasses of champagne and we got the kids to bed early. Praying for everyone to get healthy so that we can enjoy the last few days of winter break.
snapshots from our dinner out…not feeling too hot, but we did it. And we did a family toast to the New Year!
The New Year is always a fresh start. I don't like to make resolutions, but rather goals for the upcoming year. It was fun to sit at dinner tonight with the kids and talk about what our goals might be for 2016.… Continue Reading

Save $385.96 (43%)
Ok, so I actually purchased this loveseat for my living room, just to fill an empty space. The look is good, but for additional seating I wouldn't say its something your guests will rave about. Good news is my dogs love, love, love this. The faux leather is holding up quite nicely, the cushions on the other hand are way to soft to sit or sleep on. I have had it for about 2 years and its time for a new couch for the dogs. this one held up better than expected. Who wants guests to be that comfortable anyway. ha haRead More
I didn't love putting it together but it makes a nice couch for our den, where we sleep guests. Everyone that has slept on it has said it's very comfy.Read More
This is the first time I have purchased a piece of furniture through a website. I absolutely found the experience to be seamless and the product was as expected. Extremely satisfied!Read More
This couch looks great, but it is not made to last. I use it open and flat with lots of pillows more often than up like a couch. The stuffing has disbursed and the springs are prominent and uncomfortable. It is very affordable in the short term.Read More
The couch is great. I haven't used it for sleeping yet but while setting it up I tried it and it felt comfy to sleep on. I have it in my tiny studio and my cat and I use it daily. I try making sure that my cat doesn't scratch it but have caught her using it as a scratching post on occasion and the scratches are barely visible. Obviously it's not as durable and tough as real leather but it's super close. I do want to mention that if you live in an upstairs unit, be ready with friends/family/neighbors to carry the box up. FedEx and UPS will not take it up for you and it's really really heavy. I wish Overstock could give you an option to pay extra to have someone take it up. Anyway the couch is nice, don't expect something fancy, but it's definitely better than most Ikea couches I've seen.Read More
This couch was just what we were looking for. It fit my husband to sleep on, and he's 5'8, but it doesn't fit anyone taller than that unless you don't mind your feet hanging off. When it is upright, it is higher than we thought to sit on. The leather is one piece, so crumbs won't fall in the cracks which is a plus in efforts to keep clean.Read More
I have had this futon for 2 years and I haven't been able to turn it into a bed since it was a couple of months old. I have taken the time to try to fix it, but it just won't do it when I put it all together. After 2 years the springs on the seat part are starting to be felt. Luckily i can swap the cushions for the back part, to I might get another 2 years. I do not recommend this futon unless it is a temporary piece of furniture.Read More
Works great in my rec room for overnight guest. Was easy to assemble. Doesn't have a top of the line quality look but doesn't look cheap either. Very comfortable to sit on. Has not been a slept on yet so unable to comment on its comfort.Read More
They send me defective item and would not replace parts . This part was ripped and they would not replace.Read More
It is good for the money, easy to assemble.Read More
We purchased this convert-a-couch to use in our in-law suite apartment. It's a good size and fits well on the wall. The color and quality are wonderful and it is very comfortable! My son uses this apartment and loves the couch!! Thank- you Overstock!! It's exactly as advertised! Cathy from Stow, OhioRead More
This is a piece of furniture that should not be for a room that would be used a lot. This piece was used in my beach house and lasted only one season. Terrible for strong useRead More
Great as an extra sleeping unit. But any use starts to break down the cushions. I would not buy this unit again.Read More
Was able to put this together myself. It looks good and is comfy. Happy I got it.Read More
Quality met our expectations.Read More
MATERIAL IS VERY CHEAP THAT NOT REAL LEATHER...Read More
Did not use as a sofa/ bed so far, but is confort to the day by day use.Read More
The shipping of this was a hot mess - that of course is the fault of UPS. But, the item came damaged - one of the wooden legs was cracked almost all the way through. Could have been shipped like that, could have been the result of the box arriving in shreds with the rail boards actually slipping out of the box. Either way, this would not have worked well for me anyway. Pictures make it look like a regular couch but that's not how it is. It sits so very low to the ground - I can see how it would not work for daily use as I was looking for. Overstock was amazing through the return and credit process, so huge kudos to their customer service, I very much appreciate it!Read More
The sofa arrived in a box that was ripped and damaged. I wasn't sure what I would find inside. Took my husband and I about 30 minutes to unpack and assemble. Easy to follow instructions and not difficult to piece it together. We needed a sofa for a home office that could serve as an extra bed. Meets all my requirements. The mattress is thick and the leather looks nice. Comes with two pillows big enough to function as bedding. If you want a futon bed that doesn't look like one this is it.Read More
Looks better in the picture. Hard to assemble and does not feel like will last long.Read More

Introduction To Pro Python Programmer Course
Welcome to our introduction to pro Python programmer course by Master Code Online. This course is designed to teach about the Python programming language. This is a very in-depth tutorial series about Python. We will cover almost every piece of information you can in this course. At the moment we have no idea how many tutorials it will take nor do we know how long it will take to complete this course.
Our Approach To Teaching Python
This tutorial series will be unlike any other that can be found on the internet or at a university. We take baby steps to learning Python. This process is very long but in reality, you will learn so much you will be ready to write your own programs or actually teach Python when you complete this course. The reason this course is different than any other is because we take the time to teach the language to the extent that may be a little overkill but it will make you the best programmer you can be.
What Will Be covered In This Tutorial Series
Everything! Like We Said It Is Going To Be A Long Journey!
Time to get started. If you have any questions about anything in our tutorials please do not hesitate to ask us in our forums section.

Orban moves manufacturing to Arizona
After more than 35 years of making audio processing equipment in the Bay Area, Orban CRL will close its San Leandro manufacturing plant by early next year and move its production operations to Tempe, Ariz.
"California has just priced itself out of the manufacturing business when compared to other states," CEO Jayson Brentlinger said.
The decision by parent company Circuit Research Labs Inc. comes at the tail end of its five-year plan to cut costs and become more efficient. Orban CRL is consolidating its manufacturing operations in Tempe, but its Northern California Research and Design Center Group will remain in San Leandro.
Circuit Research said it has increased its manufacturing capacity by outsourcing most low-level assemblies and subassemblies during the past year. Final assembly of its products and quality control will be done in Tempe.
Orban expects to lay off 25 manufacturing workers. Brentlinger said that three employees have accepted the firm's offer to relocate. Orban also has had companies such as San Francisco's Dolby Laboratories Inc. come to speak with manufacturing workers, and one person has taken a position there, said Becky Valdez, vice president of human resources. The plant will remain in production for 30 to 45 days.
The company has leased 34,000-square-feet at the San Leandro Business Park on Alvarado Street that runs through December 2006. Brentlinger said Orban will try to sublease the site.
An additional 19 employees who work on the design side of the business will stay in San Leandro until the lease expires. Then, the company will find another location somewhere in the East Bay, according to Valdez.
Bob Orban co-founded Orban in 1970. The company, which uses digital technology to make audio processing equipment for the broadcast industry, once operated out of space on Bryant Street in San Francisco. In 1989, it was sold to Harman International Industries Inc. and moved to San Leandro in 1991.
CRL bought Orban in January 2000 for $15 million. Brentlinger said co-founder Orban will never leave the Bay Area, and therefore the company's development operations will remain here.
The company said it expects to incur a one-time charge of $350,000 due to the manufacturing consolidation. But it expects to save up to $750,000 once the consolidation is finished.
CRL is not alone in deciding to close manufacturing operations and move them to a cheaper location. In May, Gardco Lighting, a division of the lighting manufacturer The Genlyte Group Inc., said it would close its San Leandro production plant and move to Texas by the end of the year to save money. About 178 workers have received layoff notices.
Citing the high cost of doing business in California, Atlantic Envelope LLC closed its Hayward manufacturing plant in September. The company laid off 70 workers. Rita Medical Systems Inc. of Fremont shut its Mountain View manufacturing plant in June and moved it to Georgia.

Here I Find Myself Again.
I just can't help myself.
Like a traveller returning from some far distant land with some new, deeper knowledge of myself and the world we live in - not answers, per se, more an Understanding - I am inspired to try opening up this place again, to attempt to reach back and reconnect with What Was Lost, to see if anything still breathes here for me.
My instinct, as you know, was to separate the honeyed, sunnied, magical years of my early-days milkmoon-mama-ing, that green scented, glorious wide open motherland of small, tow-headed creatures, and leggy saplings that just seemed to race away ahead of me into the hazy dancing grasses of tomorrowland, from this new beginning in a new place that was so very different to where we had gown as a family right from the very start.
It's been an interesting, somewhat rocky road, these last two years, a very steep learning curve into a new phase of my life, and for a long time, the difference between the life we left and the one we now embraced was so dramatic I couldn't see how they could follow one another in this dreamy place. I attempted to begin somewhere new, but it never blossomed as I had hoped. I think I was too unfocused, reeling as I was. And now, here I am back again, because I realise I never left. Sometimes it's good to take a break from something we love, isn't it?
Anyway, please bear with me as my feet find their rhythm again; to start with, I intend to repost a few of the pieces I posted on the new and now defunct blog; this will be somewhat different to what went before here, hence the 'Part 2'.
And all going well, after so many years, and so many requests, for those doughty hanger-on-ers, there may well be a Milkmoon, The Book( Part 1), on the horizon. (There, I've said it so now I have to do it...!)
It's good to be back.

A circuit judge this morning tossed out the criminal case against an Ocala man accused of keeping a gambling house. The judge said the state's case against Jeffrey Reed was "weak" and that prosecutors failed to present enough evidence.
"The evidence presented in this courtroom, in this trial, is insufficient," said Circuit Judge Hale Stancil, as he granted the defense's motion for a judgment of acquittal. The ruling brought smiles of joy and relief to Reed, his attorneys, and dozens of others seated in the courtroom.
This sudden development came on the second day of trial for Reed, whose Cyberzone E Cafes were shut down by authorities earlier this year on charges of state gambling violations. The defense had not yet called its first witness when Stancil took the bench and announced his decision first thing Wednesday morning.
The judge informed the jurors that his decision applies only to the evidence presented in this case, and is not meant to be interpreted as a broad statement on whether similar types of businesses elsewhere could expect similar rulings down the road.
"Perhaps it could be proven, but today, it has not," he said of the state's allegations that Reed's business promoted gambling under the guise of selling phone cards on the cheap. The state contended that the sweepstakes games offered at computer terminals inside these cafes amounted to gambling, and that the computers effectively worked as slot machines. The defense maintained these games were only promotional marketing tools, and that customers were no worse for wear if they lost since they could leave with the full amount of phone card intact.
The state Tuesday presented only two undercover agents with the Sheriff's Office as witnesses. Both these men described what they perceived to be the sights and sounds of casino gambling at Reed's cafes, but otherwise couldn't articulate for jurors the contours of Florida's gambling statutes on cross-examination.
Kelly Mathis, Reed's defense attorney, praised the ruling.
"I think the judge reached the right decision at the right time, and simply concluded that the state did not have a case against Mr. Reed, did not prove that there was any violations of Florida's gambling laws, did not prove that these computers were slot machines and did not prove that he was conducting an illegal lottery," the Jacksonville attorney said.
"The defense didn't even have to present its side of the case," he added.
He sounded positive notes on what this ruling could mean for similar cases down the road.
"If the operation is exactly the same as what Mr. Reed has, I think this is in fact a ruling that that operation does not violate the law," he said, adding he suspects there is "a very good chance" Reed could reopen his businesses.
Reed, who was met with handshakes and hugs by former employees who had come to observe the trial, said he's waiting "for the dust to settle" before he ultimately makes that decision to reopen.
Assistant State Attorney Jeremy Powers said Stancil's decision will not deter his office from continuing to investigate and prosecute cases of this kind of the 5th Judicial Circuit, and said he expects "future rulings in front of other judges to be different."
"At this point, obviously we respectfully disagree with the judge's decision," he said. "However, we will attempt to learn from this and understand what we can present to the judge [in the future]."
He added he believed he and co-counsel Mark Simpson were adequately prepared in presenting their case yesterday. The state does not have grounds for an appeal, he added.

Judge throws out gambling case
A circuit judge this morning tossed out the criminal case against an Ocala man accused of keeping a gambling house. The judge said the state's case against Jeffrey Reed was "weak" and that prosecutors failed to present enough evidence.

The woman is Evelyn Baker. As assistant principal archaeology officer at Bedfordshire County Council, it is her job to oversee the sites targeted by Charlie and try to beat him off. She is losing. Charlie has struck many times over the past two years, and the continuing battle has become a symbol for much that is wrong with current heritage law and its enforcement.
The tale began in 1990, when field workers were first called to a vast archaeological site west of Bedford that was about to be sliced by work to lay a new sewage pipe. This is how much archaeological work is done nowadays: a developer or utility plans a job which cuts through something interesting, so money is handed over for exploration before the JCBs roll in.
Anglian Water did what it could to avoid damaging the site of a Roman villa and ancient cemeteries, then paid for excavating what remained. Evelyn Baker's team leapt to their trowels.
Two things happened. First, archaeologists who dug experimental trenches became excited by what they found: 'There was important evidence of continuity from the Roman to Saxon period,' says Mrs Baker. A grave - fifth century, containing a skeleton with a beautiful comb around its neck - was among initial discoveries. Second, a series of sinister little trowel holes began to appear in the area around the test trenches - the sort left by a man with a metal detector, burrowing to the source of a clear signal. Mrs Baker had a sinking feeling.
A word about the law. Unless they are made of gold or silver - in which case a coroner's court decides ownership - archaeological artefacts belong to the owner of the land where they are discovered. Archaeologists say this is crazy, because it means no one need ever report a find. They are campaigning for new legislation.
In 1991, therefore, when excavation work began in earnest at the Bedford site, Mrs Baker contacted the two landowners involved - the Church of England and a private company - and asked that only archaeologists from her team should be permitted to use metal detectors there. Letters of agreement were swiftly returned, but proved ineffectual. As the site was stripped of topsoil for detailed examination, the night raids began.
'There was one morning,' says Michael Dawson, in charge of digging, 'when we arrived to find 40 holes across the site.' The cruel truth about raids of this kind is that it is impossible to know what is being stolen. It could be coins - which help to date a period - or exquisite jewellery. However, it is probably worth something, or no one would bother to come back. And they did. Time after time.
Mrs Baker guesses that up to 15 people using metal detectors - 'metal detectorists', she calls them - had a stab at the site, but one face, and one name, stood out as the most persistent and most brazen. This was Charlie.
How did she know? Because he was seen - and photographed on site with a metal detector - and asked what he was doing. Mr Dawson says: 'I took the photo. He was plausibility itself. He was going to make some money to go to America. He was not specific about what he had taken and the things he had with him then were just pieces of lead. He did say he had taken stuff from that site.'
So Mrs Baker contacted the police, and in April 1991 Charlie was caught on site and arrested, together with another man. He had at least one Roman coin on him, and Mrs Baker says, 'We thought, 'We've got him'.'
She was wrong. 'In January 1992 I had a visit from a police constable who was upset,' she recalls. 'He said the Crown Prosecution Service was not going to prosecute because there was not a 51 per cent probability of success. Also, the site was not ringed with notices saying this was an archaeological site and that theft would lead to prosecution. That is nonsense. Why not put up floodlights for them as well?'
Digging was halted for several months while contractors laid the pipeline, but autumn brought stage two of the excavation, and the problems began again.
'Mike was being driven spare,' says Mrs Baker. 'We had 92 skeletons on site, and night after night he would find that archaeology from them was being interfered with.'
However, in October 1992 there was a breakthrough. Mrs Baker received an anonymous call naming Charlie, and saying that he planned a raid that same night. A guard with a portable telephone was posted, and when men were seen moving in the darkness, police were called.
Charlie and another man were arrested in possession of torches and spades. 'They were let off,' says Mrs. Baker. 'I was told by the police later that it was largely because of the previous situation, where they were caught on site but the police couldn't get it through the CPS.'
At this stage, two new pinpricks were added to the pain of frustration. A supervisor at the excavation reported in November 1992 that a man he recognised as Charlie approached him on site and began boasting. The supervisor's report says: 'He proceeded by openly admitting to me that he, along with several colleagues, had detected on the present site on several occasions . . . The activities were mainly carried out in the evening. He spoke of retrieving a number of coins and other objects (number not stated) but finding enough for him to make some money out of the exercise. As well as telling me about his detectorist activities on the present site, he brazenly told me about some of the objects he had dug up on the 1991 excavation. Some of these objects, he told me, were taken across to America and sold for quite a considerable sum.'
Next, a local newspaper interviewed Charlie, named him, and claimed he had boasted to the reporter '. . . of desecrating graves and stealing ancient coins and jewellery'.
But the raids continued. In April this year, a new project was started a few miles away from the completed Bedford dig, at a Roman farm near Sandy. A man claiming to be a sixth- former rang county council officials and asked for details of the site, saying he was interested in taking photographs. They happily gave them.
'Over the eight weeks we were there,' says Michael Dawson, 'a hundred holes appeared. This site has been under excavation, on and off, since 1987 and we have never had metal detector trouble before.'
Mrs Baker says: 'Security was greatly escalated. It became quite a game.' Someone removed the steps from the security guard's Portakabin and he fell over. Someone wrote a message on archaeologically cleaned surfaces: 'Aslep (sic) on the job. . .', followed by two obscenities. Mrs Baker says a message with the same mis-spelling was carved into the Bedford site a year before.
And there it rests. Both digs are over now and nobody knows what has been stolen. But at the very end, low- grade metal artefacts were being left behind, presumably in favour of better things that have just never been seen or recorded.
What is the result? Mrs Baker says her department has changed its work methods - to shorter periods. They spend more on security. They believe they have blanks in their historical knowledge. They are worried about revealing plans for new digs, but remain 'determined' to continue doing so. They are concerned about their relations with metal detector users, the majority of whom are supportive and genuinely care for the heritage they help to uncover.
Mrs Baker is angry. She says: 'It seems monstrous that this man is allowed to do the same thing time after time and feel he is immune to any form of prosecution.' The police will only say that 'a matter has been dealt with, a decision taken some time ago, and the matter discontinued'.
Richard Morris, director of the Council for British Archaeology, says that similar night-raids take place regularly in other parts of the country, particularly in East Anglia: 'They can do a hell of a lot of damage.'
A campaign is under way to change the law so that all archaeological finds must be reported - which would be useful, but would not deter hardened raiders such as Charlie. There are plans by Surrey Archaeological Society, together with Lord Perth, to promote private legislation that would - among other things - criminalise trespass with intent to treasure hunt. But the future of such private legislation is by no means certain.
Meanwhile, in the fields of Bedfordshire is a man who wants to get at history before anyone else does, who seems to be very good at it and who tramples over precious messages from the past to make a buck.
I spoke to Charlie before writing this and asked for a comment, but he demanded pounds 200 and, when I wouldn't pay, he shut up.

What is Florida 511?
The Florida Department of Transportation's free 511 Traveler Information System provides bilingual (English and Spanish: website only) real-time traffic information, including point-to-point commuter travel times, congestion, construction, lane closures, severe weather and emergency evacuation information on all Florida interstate highways; toll roads including Florida's Turnpike; and many other major metropolitan roadways. The resource is available 24 hours a day via phone by dialing 511, on the web at www.FL511.com, or on the mobile application for Apple and Android devices.
Why doesn't my mobile application have traffic information anymore?
We used a different app development company to implement the new Florida 511 mobile. Unfortunately, this precludes us from simply updating the app. The development and maintenance agreement with the previous company is no longer valid, and so the original app no longer functions. That means users like you will have to download an entirely new app through either Google Play store or Apple App Store.
Why am I not getting personal alerts anymore?
The new Florida 511 personal alerts system is using updated mapping, travel times and alert technology. We were not able to transfer current subscriber data to the new system, so all users must recreate their profile and preferences. We understand that this is inconvenient, and we sincerely apologize, but we know you'll be happy with the new My Florida 511 personalized alerts.
Please click on Register at the top of the home page to update your account.
How do I get my new Florida 511 mobile application?
Depending on the type of mobile device you use, you'll either go to the Google Play store or Apple App Store. Simply search for "Florida 511" and download, choose the app from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and install it. Don't forget to uninstall the old Florida 511 app, as it no longer functions.
Why are you updating 511?
The updates we introduced into our system are a result of analyzing our ongoing 511 user satisfaction survey responses. Many of the new features are the result of FDOT research and user suggestions. We wanted to improve the user experience and provide more powerful ways to access the information that betters motorists' commutes.
How can I report technical difficulties with the new 511 system?
Since we are still in a transitionary period, we do anticipate some hiccups in our service. That's why we rely on users like you to provide us with as detailed as possible feedback on any issues you may be experiencing so that we can further improve how we serve you.

Why is there no report on 511 about a crash I see beside the highway?
It takes time for accurate traffic incident information to be collected, verified and posted to Florida 511 phone system and website. Much incident information is reported to Traffic Management Center (TMC) operators by Florida Highway Patrol, Road Rangers or local law enforcement. TMC operators must collect and verify that information, often using FDOT traffic cameras to visually inspect a crash scene. Once they have the information they need, it is entered into FDOT's SunGuide Traffic Management Software. From there, data from all over the state is collected into one database, then sent to the 511 system to be added to the phone, web, mobile applications and personalized services reports. This process can take up to several minutes from the time an incident is first identified to the time information about it is available on 511.
When and why was 511 initiated?
The U.S. Department of Transportation petitioned the FCC in 1999 for a three-digit dialing code to make it easier for motorists to access travel information. The FCC assigned 511 to the transportation community July 21, 2000, replacing more than 300 different traffic information phone numbers.
Florida's first 511 system went live June 2002 in Central Florida. The Southeast Florida system went live July 2002. The 511 Tampa Bay system launched September 2004. The first-generation Statewide Florida system launched November 2005. The Northeast Florida 511 system launched October 2006 and Southwest Florida 511 launched April 2007. The current bilingual Statewide 511 system launched June 2009, combining all of the regional systems.
In 2016, FDOT launched an updated 511 app with more of the features users need, including point-to-point directions; better personalized alerts, and a more logical and intuitive phone system.
What travel information is available on 511?
Florida's Statewide 511 mobile app, website, and phone system give real-time travel reports on all Florida interstate highways and toll roads, including Florida's Turnpike, Miami-Dade Expressway Authority roads and Central Florida Expressway Authority roads; and other major metropolitan roadways. The statewide system provides information on roadway conditions such as commuter travel times, construction, lane closures, crashes, congestion and severe weather affecting traffic. It also provides weather forecasts and severe weather alerts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The mobile app provides point-to-point directions with travel times and alternate routes. Callers can access traffic, transit, travel times, airports, seaports, or request a specific roadway, city or county.
How often is the information updated?
Information is updated on an ongoing basis as incidents occur and situations change on roadways. Travel times are automatically updated every few minutes around the clock.
How does the information available from 511 differ from the travel information I get on the radio and television?
Florida 511 provides route-specific information, and you will be able to access the information on demand, whenever you need it.
Additionally, with My Florida 511 free text and e-mail alerts, you can receive a text message or e-mail alert when there is an incident on your personal routes.
What public safety alerts are carried on the 511 system?
The public safety alerts carried on 511 are voluntary, cooperative partnerships among law enforcement, FDOT, other agencies and local broadcasters. FDOT uses overhead electronic message signs and 511 to get public safety alerts out to the public.
AMBER Alert is the name of the nation's child abduction alert system. AMBER stands for "America's Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response." It is designed to alert the public when a child has been abducted and is believed to be in serious danger.
Silver Alerts are designed to alert the public and law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for missing adults or citizens with cognitive impairments. This program is especially targeted to protect adults with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia.
Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Alerts provide important information about an offender(s) who has seriously injured or killed a law enforcement officer.
Is 511 compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)?
Yes. The 711 Telecommunications Relay Service allows the deaf and hard-of-hearing who use telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) to access the voice recognition and response features of Florida's 511. Florida's 511 website, FL511.com, is text based. No flash animations or plug-ins are used. Additionally, all maps on FL511.com are configurable to use colors that are discernable to the colorblind.
How can I help make the system better?
FDOT encourages you to use the system on all of its platforms (i.e. website, mobile applications, and phone line) and provide feedback on how to improve the system to better serve Florida drivers. Feedback is always welcome, so if you have a specific suggestion about how FDOT can improve, leave your comments here.
Is there a charge for using 511?
No. 511 is a free resource to the public provided by FDOT. Users can call 24/7 to hear up-to-the-minute travel information. However, cell phone users should be aware that normal minute and text message charges may apply. The app is a free download, and there is no charge for registering for My Florida 511 personalized services.
How do I reach the Florida 511 phone system?
Dial 511 from any cell or landline phone physically located within Florida. The call is free, although standard cell phone minutes may apply.
How will I know what information to ask for when calling 511?
511 is a voice-activated and touch-tone phone system that will guide you through menu options. 511 will ask if you would like information on traffic or if you would like your call to be transferred to a partner agency.
How do I ask for information on a specific roadway?
When asking for information on a roadway, first request the roadway by name or number. Then ask for a city or county. For example, say "I-95," then "Daytona" to receive traffic information on I-95 around Daytona. You can also ask for a city or country first, then ask about a specific roadway.
What can I do when the system cannot recognize what I am saying?
When calling 511, you should reduce background noise like radios, open windows, air conditioner fans and other people talking. These actions can help the 511 system understand you better. You should also speak slowly and clearly.
Remember to be safe when you check 511. You can call 511, check the mobile application or visit FL511.com before leaving home or the office to check conditions on your planned route. Long-distance travelers can check 511 from a rest area, restaurant, gas station or other stop to avoid using a cell phone when driving. You can also ask a passenger to check 511 instead.
There are several steps you can take if you're having trouble making the 511 system understand you:
- Speak as clearly as possible
- Minimize background noise
- Check your cell phone signal strength when placing a call; weak reception may cause 511 to have problems understanding what you say.
- Ask for information using single commands instead of back-to-back commands.
Does my cell phone area code determine the 511 information I receive?
All callers within Florida's borders will reach the statewide 511 system, regardless of their cell phone area code. Travelers entering or exiting Florida from Georgia have the option to switch from Florida 511 to Georgia 511 and vice versa. The phone system is not location-aware, so you will need to tell 511 the roadway, city or county for which you want information.
Does 511 know where I am calling from?
The 511 system recognizes when a caller is within Florida borders, but not their specific location. Callers from anywhere in the state can request information by city, county or highway.
How are roads chosen to be covered by 511?
Generally, the 511 system provides information on roadways which FDOT is able to manage with its network of sensors and cameras. Florida's 511 covers the most-traveled roads in each region of the state. FDOT is committed to providing drivers with accurate, real-time traffic information.
The new Florida 511 system provides secondary coverage, which allows users to be given point-to-point travel times based on traffic-speed data provided by HERE.
FDOT is constantly expanding its traffic monitoring network and will add new roads to the 511 system as resources become available.
How is the information collected?
FDOT has deployed intelligent transportation (ITS) technology on all Florida interstates and toll roads, including Florida's Turnpike; and many other major metropolitan roadways. FDOT partners — the Central Florida Expressway Authority and Miami Dade Expressway Authority — have also deployed similar technology along their expressways.
Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) collect information about roadway conditions throughout Florida. The data comes from sensors in and alongside the road, traffic surveillance cameras, and reports from Road Rangers, Florida Highway Patrol and local law enforcement.
How much does it cost to use FL511.com?
Like Florida's 511 phone system, FL511.com and My Florida 511 Personalized Services are free traffic information resources provided to you by FDOT. Standard cell phone minutes and text message charges may apply.
What is available on FL511.com that isn't available by calling 511?
From FL511.com you can view traffic cameras under the "My Cameras" feature. You can also consult the state map on the home page for detailed roadway conditions. FL511.com also provides door-to-door navigation and weather forecasts.
FL511.com also allows users to sign up for free My Florida 511 personalized services.
How can a deaf or hard-of-hearing individual use the 511 phone system?
The 711 Telecommunications Relay Service allows the deaf and hard-of-hearing who use telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) to access the voice recognition and response features of Florida's 511. To access 511, a user would need to know the county from which they are calling or to which they are traveling.
Here's how a 511 call through 711 might happen:
Customer: Dials 711
Operator: "Florida Relay Operator (insert CA ID#) M(male)/F(female) GA (go ahead)"
Customer: "Please dial Florida 511 GA"
Operator: "County you are calling from pls Q GA"
Customer: Provides the county
The Operator then connects the customer to the 511 system. The Operator types what is heard after dialing the number. The customer would request information from 511 following the same call flows as other 511 callers, requesting traffic or transfer.
NOTE: Not all Florida counties have 511-covered roadways. If a caller calls from a county where there are no 511-covered roadways, the operator may inform the caller "I'M SORRY 511 SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN THAT COUNTY ... GA"
Does FDOT record phone calls to the 511 system?
Like many other call centers, FDOT records all phone calls to the 511 system. These recordings allow FDOT to troubleshoot the system. By analyzing calls, FDOT can pinpoint potential issues and improve system functionality, such as voice recognition, to provide you with a better user experience.
I'm calling 511 from my car using Bluetooth and the system does not understand me.
The 511 phone system is sensitive to background noise. Using any type of speaker system when calling 511 may interfere with the system's voice recognition ability. If you would like to use the 511 system during your drive, we recommend that before your trip, you download the new 511 mobile application for Apple or Android. With the app's new "Drive Mode" you can enter a destination, receive up to three routes and travel times plus see any incidents on your route. If an incident occurs on your route while you are driving, the app will audibly alert you of the incident. If you still would like to use the 511 phone system, we recommend calling 511 before you get on the road, having a passenger call for you or pulling over to call in a safe location. If you still would like to call 511 using a Bluetooth device, we recommend using a Bluetooth headset.
I'm calling 511 on speaker phone and the system does not understand me.
The 511 phone system is sensitive to background noise. This includes wind noise, additional voices, air conditioners and road noise. Putting your phone on speaker mode increases the chances for these external noises to impact the call and your 511 experience. We recommend calling 511 using the regular hand held mode or a headset. If you would like to use the 511 system during your drive, we recommend that before your trip, you download the new 511 mobile application for Apple or Android. With the app's new "Drive Mode" you can enter a destination, receive up to three routes and travel times plus see any incidents on your route. If an incident occurs on your route while you are driving, the app will audibly alert you of the incident.
I'm in a crowded space with a lot of background noise. Will the 511 phone system understand my requests?
When calling the 511 system, it is important to reduce any background noise. Multiple voices may result in the system not recognizing your request. If you need to check 511 while you are in a loud space, we recommend visiting our website at Fl511.com, downloading our free app or signing up for personalized services. With the new My Florida 511 personalized services you have the ability to create door to door routes and have the system send you a text message or email when a crash, congestion or closure comes up on your route. The notification will include your updated travel time. You can set up these alerts for any day or time of your choosing.

Why do I need to provide a phone number?
Providing a phone numbers is not required. Once you create a free custom profile with My Florida 511 Personalized Services, providing your phone number will enable you to hear information about your customized routes first every time you call 511. The system uses Caller ID technology to recognize registered callers. Your custom profiles will be associated with your phone number. If you have Caller ID permanently blocked on your registered phone number or are calling from an office phone on a private branch exchange (PBX) system, My Florida 511 may not recognize you and will be unable to give your custom profiles. In those cases, you can say "Profile" to connect to your personalized routes.
What are My Routes?
My Routes is a new feature on www.FL511.com. It also you to enter two locations to get driving directions between the two. Florida 511 will provide you with up to three route options, showing travel times and incidents along those routes.
Registered "My Florida 511" users can save the route by entering a name and clicking "Save".
How do I access my routes when I call 511?
If you included your phone number in your profile, when you call 511, Caller ID technology will recognize your phone number and access your routes. You will be prompted to say the name of the route for which you want traffic information. If you choose to create a custom-named route, you will have to assign it a name. My Florida 511 will recognize the pronunciation of the name in the most common North American English phonetics. Names should be entered in North American English using only standard letters (alphabetic) and spaces. The names are not case sensitive. You can access a list of your custom-named routes anytime when you call 511 by saying, "help." My Florida 511 will narrate a list of your saved routes. To make using the custom-named routes easier, listen to how My Florida 511 pronounces the names so you can speak the route name in a way the system with recognize them.

Why can't I sign in to My Florida 511?
The most common reason for not being able to sign in to My Florida 511 is that your browser is not set to accept cookies. A cookie is a small text file that may be used, for example, to collect information about website activity. Most web browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and how to remove them. The "Help" menu on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies allow you to take full advantage of some of the website features. You must leave cookies turned on to sign in and use My Florida 511. If cookies are turned on in your browser and you are still unable to sign in, send us a note on the Contact Us page. Include as much information as you can about your account. Include your email address so we know how to contact you.
What do I do if I can't access my account to change or delete it?
If you cannot access your My Florida 511 web account because you have forgotten your password, simply fill out the form on the Contact Us page. Since we do not have access to your confidential password and secret question and answer, we will have to delete the existing account. You will then need to create a new account to begin or continue using My Florida 511.
I have an Internet phone (Voice Over IP/VoIP). Will I be able to access My Florida 511?
Some Internet telephony (VoIP) providers are compatible with 511. The service uses the address you register with the provider (primarily used to identify your location for 911 or E911). When you call 511, your provider will route the call to 511.
Not all VoIP carriers are able to identify your registered location to 511 yet. Vonage is the first VoIP carrier to do so, and cable companies which provide VoIP (or digital phone) may also provide this service.
If you are able to access 511 in Florida from your VoIP phone, you will be able to use My Florida 511 from that phone as well. Since My Florida 511 recognizes you by your registered phone number, once you're connected to Florida's 511, you will have the option to hear your customized routes first.
To see if your provider is compatible, dial 511 from your VoIP phone and see if it connects you to the statewide Florida 511 system. If it does, you will be able to access the My Florida 511 features from that phone. You can also contact your VoIP provider and ask if their service is compatible with 511.
If you cannot access 511 from you VoIP phone, please submit an email through the "Contact Us" form located on the website on the bottom right-hand corner.
My cell phone does not have a Florida area code. Can I access Florida's 511 and My Florida 511?
Yes. When you call 511 from a cell phone, the system identifies you by the location of the cell tower or switch which first picks up your call. If you are in Florida during your call, you will most likely be connected to Florida's 511. If you're calling 511 from near a boarder with another state, you may get connected to the other state's 511 system. If this happens, simply request a transfer to Florida's 511. The My Florida 511 system then uses Caller ID technology to identify you and access your custom profiles. If you have not set up an account, you will simply be connected to 511. Not all cellular carriers provide Caller ID information from their customers. If your Caller ID information does not show up on another phone when you call, you will not be able to use My Florida 511. You can still use Florida's 511.
I want to call from my office but the system doesn't recognize me or gives me the wrong routes. What's going on?
Many offices use Private Branch Exchange (PBX) phone systems. Typically, when a call is placed from a phone on a PBX system, Caller ID registers the system's main phone number or the first available outside line instead of the direct phone number for the individual. Users who register a phone number on a PBX system may be unable to access My Florida 511, or may access the account of another user who registered the main number. Since two users cannot register the same primary or secondary phone numbers, co-workers should not register their office's main number as this could cause confusion. To test whether your office phone will work with My Florida 511, call your cell phone or another phone equipped with Caller ID and note what number appears on Caller ID. If it is your direct line, your office phone number should work with My Florida 511. If not, we recommend you not register your office phone and instead use a cell phone or home phone number. Some companies have their Caller ID permanently blocked. If your company is one of them, My Florida 511 will not recognize you when you call from your work phone due to the fact that Caller ID will show the call as either "unknown" or "restricted."
What if I have more questions?
If your question about My Florida 511 was not answered here, contact Florida's 511 Traveler Information System by filling out the Contact Us form located at the bottom right-hand corner of the home page.

Jul 13, 2016 - Day 11 - The Vindication of Edmund Penvesie
Although I didn't talk about it much in yesterday's entry, the heat wave hasn't stopped yet. Neither Cathy nor I do well in extreme heat. But we're not willing to just write off (potentially) the rest of the vacation, so we've developed a strategy: Stay out late. Wake up late. Do as little as possible before 6pm. Punctuate activity with frequent returns to the air-conditioned hotel room. Then, when it gets cooler at around 6pm, go out and do most of the day's activities. It's not ideal, but it works. Still, we can't just sit in the hotel...Jump to full entry

Jul 12, 2016 - Day 10 - Bridge Over Very Cold Water
Today we drove from Split, into the city of Mostar, which is in Bosnia-Hercegovina. It seems somewhat surreal to be vacationing in a country whose very name, "Bosnia", became synonymous with the worst war to hit Europe since World War II, and all the pain, slaughter, and suffering that accompanied it. I could not have imagined this in my wildest dreams 20 years ago, and yet, here we are. All of this raises a fair question, "Why would you even *want* to go to Bosnia?" The answer is simply that the city of Mostar may be one of the most...Jump to full entry

Now is a good time to describe it. For breakfast, I try to find hotels that serve breakfast. This is almost always possible.

Yesterday was my last lazy day at the five-star resort. I lingered in my room until check-out time and then relaxed in the Spa until it was time for my bus to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Although the bus was only one-half hour late, it was already dark when we left the bus station at 3pm. So, no pictures for yesterday. The locals here in Mostar have no idea that today is Thanksgiving back home. They've definitely not heard it called "Black Friday Eve". There is no evidence of Christmas sales anywhere yet.

Sep 28, 2014 - A Contrast of Religions
On Saturday morning we returned the boat to the charter base and took a taxi to the airport to pick up our car.
