We have a great three-day-per-week nanny who is terrific with our son, is reliable and works like a dog. In fact, she is perfectionistic to the point of being a little bit severe, which can be great for someone entrusted with caring for a young child, but very difficult when it comes to the adult negotiations. She and I are having some personality conflicts that frequently make it feel like an unhealthy dynamic in the house. Negotiations about the smallest things become quickly heated, and I come out of them surprised and drained and wishing I didn't have to see her the next time. She all but derailed a recent family trip for which we hired her with several protracted and emotional weeks of negotiation and complaints leading up to it.
You can always gage her reaction when you talk to her. If you think she is handling it well you can leave the door open for a slower transition and visitations. You can tell her you will offer your reference to anyone and that you think she was excellent at her job, just that she is not the right fit for your family. You can communicate your concern for your son and that his attachment to her is important to you.
It's hard having employees but its definitely a learning experience. Good luck!!
Wife to one amazing husband , SAHM to DS 10/09, DS 10/19, one furbaby , and lots of !
What do you think would happen if you had a frank discussion with her about the communication problems before letting her go? There is always the possibility that she would be willing to amend her style or her methods if she heard in a direct manner how disconcerting it was to you. She does sound peculiar; most providers wouldn't be arguing with their employer about their employer's child, but you describe many other things about her that you value. How do you think she might handle very direct communication about how it is going for you and why you'd like to see her grow more flexible in her ways? Just curious!
Also could you give an example of the type of thing that would become heated in discussion?
Thanks, I think it's too far gone. We had a few weeks of calm, but I've had some bad interactions with her today and last week. I don't know if she senses I'm searching for her replacement (which would be strange as I have no paperwork on it anywhere), but she's started to push for some nebulous but sizeable leftover expenses from our family trip that she hadn't mentioned in weeks. (Reimbursements for dog care provided by her friends, for which she has no receipts but wabts us to pay the maximum we'd offered per quality boarding companies.) I'm thinking of not giving her any severance at all now that she's suddenly pushing for this extra $1200 for dog care (!) Couldn't she have been reasonable and said her friend was sitting for the dogs for $60/night or something. Are we her corporate employers and she's just trying to suck every last penny she can from us?
One example of a heated discussion: A few weeks ago when she started mid-morning I'd asked her to take my son to the park for an hour before lunch as our early playdate at the park had been canceled, I'd gotten tied up with work, and he needed some exercise. It is a five-minute drive away and parking is easy at the park, so no big deal. But she delayed leaving for literally 30 minutes, puttering with tidying up, wiping down the kitchen counter, collecting her sunglasses, etc. (I meanwhile packed the bags for her and put them at the door so she could rush out) and when she finally took him they stayed out for over two and a half hours! When I popped through the house at his normal naptime and noticed they were still gone and hadn't even started his 45-minute lunchtime yet, so were almost 2 hours behind schedule, I called her and asked for an update, was everything ok and she said they were just wrapping up at the park.
She brought up the event the next day I saw her and she became very upset that I would question her judgment, phrase the question as "is everything okay" or ever rush my child at the park like that ("it's not worth going to the park for less than an hour. I won't go under those circumstances."), the accusation being that I was insensitive to my son's needs to languish at the park, and she would not budge on this vital issue. She began nearly crying about the injustice of the situation and my son seemed torn trying to give her a hug and then give me a hug. It was like a dysfunctional marriage argument, but I felt she was being histrionic and sorta bizarre. I understand I had criticized her choice, but why was she turning this into a quality of life, defense-of-my-child issue? He's got a pretty sweet deal by all accounts, I assure you. She simply seems to be unable to take direction or criticism.
It felt especially bizarre because she already has so little on her agenda with him (by my design, because I want him to have relaxing days). His classes and playgroups are on my mommy days, so I feel like the mornings I'm on duty I have to multi-task and get him going faster than of course is "relaxing." I have a lot more on my plate at the house those mornings, but I manage to get it done, respecting his feelings, but also cutting the fat wherever possible to prioritize the big picture. e.g. "he needs the exercise of swim class more than a drawn-out discussion about his footwear options right now." It just felt like she won't budge on how she does even little things, she is simply not willing to meet me half-way.
Last week, knowing I was searching for new candidates but feeling the need to briefly assert myself regarding an issue that had been bugging me for nearly two years, I got upset at her for taking 20 minutes to bring my son back inside from 10 feet outside the door on the lawn. It was the end of the day, and she regularly bills for the extra time she takes to transition him back to my care. She has been languishing like this frequently, sometimes missing her appointed end time by 20-30 minutes if she's out on a walk with my son or doing some activity with him she apparently doesn't want to interrupt. I've taken to checking in at the appointed end time and again every 5-10 minutes to remind her that she can leave any time, and I'm heating up dinner, but still she keeps chalk drawing or whatever with him until she's ready to come back and slowly wash his hands for dinner and have a long good-bye. And when she turns in her hours, every minute she's doing all this nonsense is billed to me. It just feels disrespectful. (Especially the days when I race through traffic after cutting short a meeting to meet her at the appointed end time and then she's still out on a walk for another 30 minutes. How frustrating is that?)
Anyway, this time I got upset. When she came inside I said, "if I'd known it was going to take you twenty minutes to get inside I would have gone out and done something else with the time." She began to argue with me, but then let it go. I said "if you are going to give you time away, that's one thing but I need to stop the clock at 5:00." She said, "Okay next time I"ll leave at 5:00." And she more or less did...once. Then today, at 4:58, I said, " I'm heating up his dinner, you can go anytime" and she proceeded to start reading a long book with my son, ignore my next two reminders and only come back into the house about 15-20 minutes late again. And I found she even billed for the 20 minutes I complained about last week! I'm just amazed that she can't even stick to such a simple and clear request. It seems like there's something really passive aggressive about her behavior. Right?
With that description, it does seem as though she is behaving in a passive aggressive manner. My hunch is that she thinks you are too strict or too rushed with him and that she is going to show you what your boy really needs, even at the risk of conflict with you. It seems like it has gotten to a point of philosophical debate. Like Mary Poppins, but gone awry. This does sound as though it has gotten to the point where it is unlikely to be salvaged, and could potentially get stranger before she goes. If your son is feeling divided loyalties between the two of you, I'd wonder a little if she ever says negative things to him about you.
Can you take a week or so off of work, let her go, and spend some nice time with your son while looking for someone new? I'm feeling curious if there is something for you to learn from the situation even though recognizing that she is behaving in a dysfunctional manner?
I hope everything works out. What a yucky situation to be in. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it!
Wife to one amazing husband , SAHM to DS 10/09, DS 10/19, one furbaby , and lots of !
You are her employer. She needs to follow your direction. If she cannot then she needs to find a different job. It does not sound healthy for your son.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/1/12
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated. With AP Photos.) By BOB BAUM AP Sports Writer Arizona's offensive woes have limited the team's ability to take best advantage of one of the best wide receivers in the game. A weak offensive line, erratic quarterback play and a largely ineffective running game have meant that defenses can zero in on Larry Fitzgerald more than ever, and he was already drawing plenty of attention. One of the game's best offensive players plays on one of its worst offenses. Fitzgerald has topped 1,000 yards receiving in each season since coach Ken Whisenhunt took over in 2007. Halfway through this season, with Arizona on a four-game losing streak, Fitzgerald has caught 45 passes for 511 yards and three touchdowns. At this pace, he'd pass 1,000, but just barely.

Dry Run
By Mimi Sheraton
Anyone planning to serve a new dish to guests is well advised to practice it once to avoid an embarrassing disaster. But eighty to a hundred rehearsals? That's how many times James Kent expects to test a batch of recipes for monkfish and lamb—the ingredients he will be required to prepare next January, when he represents the United States in the Bocuse d'Or. The Bocuse d'Or, a biennial culinary smackdown among twenty-four international chefs, will take place in Lyons, France, the home town of Paul Bocuse, the chef who founded the contest, in 1987.

Hello to all of our crazy race fans. I hope your summer is treating you well. We survived our northern swing and now we are heading to race our western swing. I will have to say that the northern swing was pretty darn good to the MSR/Viper Motorcycle team. With two out of three wins, that's not too shabby. John Hall winning at his home track was pretty fantastic. Matt being a repeat winner at Norwalk was awesome to. Matt went to two finals on the swing and got beat by Michael Ray in Chicago. He did a great job and it was just his day to win. Congrats to Michael and to the Star team. Michael talked a lot of trash to Matt giving him a hard time about his light in the final against him. He told Matt he was too old and needed to retire. I think Matt came back and redeemed himself at the next race. Matt had stellar lights every round in Norwalk and he was unbeatable. He won two elimination rounds on a holeshot. In drag racing that means the driver did their job.
We had some work to do at the shop when we got home. With having three races back to back we have to come home and evaluate our motors to make sure everything is working right in them. Come to find out my motor was not performing at the best. With some issues with parts we were glad we took the motor apart. I was happy we found the problems so we could fix them and get everything back ready for Denver. During our brief time off Matt and Trent decided to build a "special motor" for the Denver race. We didn't have a chance to dyno the motor so it will be interesting to see if it runs better than all of our other stuff. With both Matt and John already winning this season it has been outstanding. I really hope my luck turns around and can get some round wins. I really want to win so maybe it will come so we can have all three members of this team in the winners' circle. Matt has been pretty successful at getting first time drivers in the winner's circle. Maybe he can get me there as well.
We are currently en route to Denver now. It's a long journey out there and even a longer journey on the way home. 41 hours to be exact for the drive from Sonoma to home. The only thing that would make the drive awesome would be if we had 2 Wally's traveling with us. I am not going to be greedy and say if we had only one it would still be worth it. Wally's make everything so much better. My fingers are crossed that I get some round wins on this western swing and can be a candidate to get in the Top 10. We will see how the cards fall. I know it would be a pretty sweet deal if we had three Viper/MSR Buells competing for the first ever Mello Yello Pro Stock Bike Championship. Until next time keep it full speed ahead.
Hello everyone. Hope all is well. It has been super busy at MSR lately. We have continued our research and development program. Most importantly we have been working on Matt's bike in search of the shifting problem. We really think we have it fixed now. We are planning a test session one week from today in Rockingham to give us the assurance we need. Matt and I both really need to get some rounds under our belt this early in the season. I would rather be in with some comfort than be out working really hard to get in.
John Hall has been doing an outstanding job for MSR/Viper team. He has been winning rounds on Sunday and we all know that's what its all about in drag racing. John's family got to attend the Charlotte event and we all had a great time. I am sure his family will be around for the Englishtown and New Hampshire race. They are a great group of people and we are thankful to be working with him this year. Just want to say thank you to John on making us look awesome this year. Keep it up.
I have been making better runs down the racetrack. My main focus this year has been just that. I want to make four great qualifying runs that are straight and fast. That's still a goal for Englishtown. On Saturday in qualifying I made a pretty good run and I was top of the sheet. I have been there a couple of times but I am going to try and make it a habit from now on.
On our way home from Houston we had to stop in Competition Trailers and get our awning extended and some good things like that. So on our way through Atlanta we stopped in to attend the Night of Champions at the World of Coca-Cola. As always we have such an amazing time with all the other Champions and with all the NHRA and Coke representatives. We had a very nice dinner and I got to shop with all the other ladies in the World of Coke store. I would like to say thank you for always giving us a very enjoyable evening honoring our drivers. Thank you.
I'm looking forward to Englishtown because it will be four long weeks we have had to wait to go racing again. I am ready right now. Another thing I am looking forward to is New York City. We were not able to go to New York last year. Matt and I are going this year and we are staying for two nights. I have never had more than four hours in New York City so I am sure by the next blog I will have a lot to talk about. Scotty and Susan Pollacheck will be joining us in New York City for our little getaway. It's always great to spend time with your track family away from the track. Susan and I are going shopping for sure. Not sure what the guys have in mind. By then Matt might need to just relax after a busy weekend.
As you all know Scott Speed is Matt's brother in law. He married Matt's sister Amanda several years back. He competes in NASCAR these days. He had an opportunity to attend the X Games in Brazil to compete in Rally Cross. Not only did he compete in his first ever event in the X Games but he also won the GOLD. What a great accomplishment for Scott on his very first outing. Great job Scott.
Englishtown is less than two weeks away and I am super excited to say the least. Like I said I want to go now. I am confident we have Matt's shifting problem fixed and we have worked out a couple of bugs with my bike. I think Englishtown will be our chance for this entire Viper/MSR race team to shine. John has been shining since Gainesville and now its time for all of us to shine as a team. I know we are ready. If you're in Englishtown come by and say hi.
Hello everyone. I am long overdue for a blog to let all of our fans know what's going on in our neck of the woods. We have been working extremely hard over the winter trying to find horsepower. With us having everything in house, it has made it so much easier. Most of the time the off-season is somewhat of a vacation. I think we worked just as much this winter as we do during the season.
We had a test session at SGMP one week before the Gators. We ran so well that we didn't want to keep it a secret. So we posted it on Facebook. Not all the time when you run well in testing does it show when you go to the next national event. We had another test session before Gainesville at SGMP again. The weather wasn't so nice to us. It was extremely windy and for the bikes that plays a huge factor. Matt didn't get to learn everything he wanted to because we couldn't make all-out runs due to the wind. We felt great though going into Gainesville.
We arrived on Thursday. We were very excited to see our racing family and friends. Thursday was kind of a learning day for us. We got a new truck and trailer over the winter and finding all of our stuff was a challenge at first. I bet I asked Matt a hundred times where things were. Only because I was the one transporting stuff from the old trailer and he was the one finding it a new home in the new trailer. Mark and Marshall Stockseth were so generous to get us the new trailer that is an absolute beauty. We can't thank them enough for what they have done for us.
Friday and Saturday were the days that Matt and John Hall shined. They both made awesome runs. By the end of the day on Saturday John was qualified 6th and Matt qualified numero UNO!! Yes we were happy. I was very disappointed that I didn't get in. I got bumped out on the last session. I just didn't make good runs on the sessions that counted the most. Like I said I was disappointed, but I can assure you that I will be testing next week in Charlotte, and when we show up for Charlotte we will be pretty good.
Sunday wasn't the day we expected. With Matt being number one we knew he had a pretty good bike to go a few rounds on Sunday. That wasn't the case. When Matt attempted to shift into 3rd gear it didn't go. It was an absolute shame. Devastated is a pretty good word to describe it. John Hall kept the MSR team alive. He beat Shawn first round and proceeded to 2nd round. John left a little early and our day was over. All in all, things went pretty well in Gainesville.
MSR was so happy to partner with Viper Motorcycle Company for the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series in 2013. The Viper Motorcycles are top notch and please come by our pit area and check them out. They are pretty sleek looking if you ask me.
Just want to say thank you to Viper Motorcycle Company, Mark and Marshall Stockseth, and NitroFish for stepping up and helping our MSR team out for the 2013 season. Also thank you to Colbert Seagraves of Viper Motorcycles for keeping all of us straight at the racetrack. LOL. That's a very tough job at times.
We are proud to have John Hall part of our race team. He is so down to earth and just a funny guy. I really think our Viper Motorcycle team is going to be very strong this year. We can't wait for Charlotte, which is our hometown race. All of our friends and family will be in attendance. Come by and see us.
Life at MSR has been crazy the last four weeks. From Matt and I finalizing our deal that we will be racing this year, to doing motor work for more horsepower, to getting things ready for a teammate, it's been crazy. Oh, and I forgot to say, we are going snowboarding with the Wilsons and the Speeds for a couple of days as well.
Matt and I are very pleased that both of us will be racing the 2013 NHRA season. Last year was a great year but a hard year for me. My dream and love is to be on a Pro Stock Motorcycle letting the clutch go at every national event. Last year the funding wasn't in place for me to do that. This year it is and I am so excited to get back on the bike. I am sure I'm a little rusty but as soon as we go testing in a few weeks it will all come back to me. The hardest thing was being at every event last year and not being able to race but all in all it turned out with a positive outcome. We have not directly announced who our sponsor will be yet but it will be coming in a couple of weeks. We are eager to get to Gainesville and start this Mello-Yello season up right.
We have been steady working at the shop trying to get all of our motors done with updates. As of now I think we have six motors complete with updates from Matt's motor at the end of the year. We have also starting a few more things in the research department that will be very promising as well. We have 3 motors to finish before testing. Our team plans to test the second week in February in sunny south Florida for 3-4 days.
At the beginning of the month Michael Ray decided to explore other options with another team. We wish Michael Ray the best at Star Racing. So now we have a bike that is available for the year. Well we all know that Matt Smith is known for qualifying three bikes at many events. Matt has received numerous phone calls regarding being on our team. Matt has talked to one rider in particular and they are in the process of reviewing things. When things are finalized then we will be releasing that information to all of our fans.
As some of you may know I have a love for snowboarding. It's one of those things that I can do just to relieve stress and it's my personal get away. Last year with the temperatures being warmer than usual we didn't get enough time to go. This year is a different story. We are leaving out in the morning heading for Wintergreen Resort. I am so excited. I put my headphones on, crank the music up and hit the slopes. After we arrive home I will be in race mode so watch out!!!
Just wanted to say thank you to all the fans, friends, and family who have been supportive to our team. We are so ready to start this 2013 season. I hope to see many more Wallys in our house this year.

This treatment can dramatically increase the chance of recovery after stroke, but must be administered within 3 hours of symptom onset. Medical City's Emergency Services has implemented and Acute Stroke Protocol to ensure the rapid evaluation and treatment of patients who are potential candidates for this treatment.
Beyond the Emergency Services. The Neurovascular Intensive Care Unit and 5 South Neuroscience Unit provide specialized care for stroke patients that is delivered by a truly multidisciplinary team comprised of stroke nurses, therapists, dieticians and social workers. The stroke care provided to patients is based upon scientific evidence and nationally accepted guidelines. Particular emphasis is focused on education of patients and families about stroke treatment and prevention.
Team approach to coordinated care. Exemplary stroke care requires a team approach to provide a comprehensive spectrum of services. Our specialists provide a breadth and depth of stroke expertise including emergency physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, critical care physicians, internal medicine hospitalists, vascular surgeons, cardiologists and physiatrists. A dedicated stroke coordinator facilitates the entire spectrum of care provided to patients, and particular emphasis is focused on education of patients and families about stroke recognition, treatment and prevention. A full array of surgical treatment of stroke is offered by the Medical City specialists including decompressive craniectomy, carotid endartectomy, carotid stenting, aneurysm clipping and ventriculostomy placement.
Kinds of Strokes
There are different types of stroke including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.
Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying the brain becomes blocked by a blood clot or other particle such as a piece of plaque. This leads to insufficient blood flow to the brain, lack of oxygen and ultimately permanent death of brain cells. There are various causes of stroke including atherosclerosis (narrowed vessels due to hardening of the artery), heart disease and blood clotting disorders. The risk factors for this type of stroke include hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, atrial fibrillation, and obesity. It is important to perform tests to determine the cause of stroke and risk factors in each patient.
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and blood spills into the brain and its surrounding structures. Hypertension is the most common reason for this type of stroke. Aneurysms and other vascular malformations may also cause hemorrhagic stroke. Patients with hemorrhagic stroke are often evaluated by neurosurgeons, though most patients do not require surgery.
The symptoms of stroke depend upon what part of the brain is affected. It is critical to recognize the signs of stroke and act fast since time is brain.
Signs of a Stroke
Medical City's Emergency Services has successfully implemented a Code Stroke Protocol to ensure the rapid evaluation and treatment of patients who are potential candidates for this treatment that leads to a greater chance of complete recovery. We are proud to treat up to 15 percent of stroke patients with tPA—the national average is 3-8 percent. Aggressive quality efforts are performed to safely shorten door to treatment times that affords the best patient outcomes. Think F.A.S.T if you see any of these stroke signs in a loved one and dial 9-1-1:
|Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop?
|Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward?
|Ask the person to repeat a simple sentence. Are the words slurred? Is the person confused? Can he/she repeat the sentence correctly?
|It's time to call 911 if the patient suddenly shows any of these symptoms, especially if they are accompanied by loss of vision, loss of balance with dizziness, or the worst headache imaginable.
Texas Stroke Institute
As an HCA hospital in the North Texas Division, Medical City is affiliated with the Texas Stroke Institute. The Texas Stroke Institute is a collaborative initiative that includes 11 hospitals. Our goal is to develop an effective and resource-efficient plan to reduce the morbidity, mortality and economic burden of stroke in the region. Incorporating medical education and participating in research will establish us as a national center of excellence in stroke.

2008 Toyota Corolla Q&A
2008 Toyota Corolla Question: CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODE0171
Answer 1
Not the only option for this code at all. Need to go to the shop! - pushrod
Answer 2
Has a check engine light on with a code P0171 indicating the fuel trims are too high and the engine is lean. Tests/Procedures: 1. Monitor the fuel trim readings at idle and at 55 MPH driving down the road. If the numbers are low at idle, but climb up in to the +20 range on a part throttle cruise, the mass air flow sensor may be faulty. If the mass air flow sensor is faulty, the calculated load reading typically is low during a wide-open throttle acceleration. The reading should go to 85% or higher. When the mass air flow sensor is faulty it may also have low grams per second readings. The grams per second at idle should be about 1.8 - 2.2 and at 2500 RPM and no load ,the readings should be about 7.2. 3. Monitor both the front and rear oxygen sensor signals. The oxygen sensor should not stay high or low voltage for extended periods of time. If the oxygen sensor shows low voltage and the fuel trim readings climb, check the performance of the oxygen sensor. Some engines that are burning oils have had skewed oxygen sensor readings and odd fuel trims readings. 4. If the fuel trims are high at idle and in the +20 range and drop down below +10 at cruising speeds, there may be a vacuum leak. Check the vehicle for a vacuum leak by spraying carburetor spray around the intake manifold while watching the fuel trim readings. If the readings change in a particular area, there may be a vacuum leak. Tech Tips: If fuel trim readings are high at idle and go down on a free rev, this is a vacuum leak. If the fuel trim readings are high at idle and at cruise, suspect fuel injectors. Bottom line, Wetry is correct. Take it to a professional. This problem is beyond your ability. Unless you have money to waste. - PARTS GUY

When I met my husband, he drove a totally hot car, a brand-new 1973 Mercury Comet GT, white with burnt orange pinstripes and burnt orange interior.
And it had a manual transmission.
Because we were young and newly in love and Barry had miles of patience, he attempted to teach me to drive it. It helped that we lived in Northern Maine where there wasn't much to crash into except snow banks and caribou.

We all seek advice from experts and describing what ails us or our plants is key to determining what's really going on; and not everyone understands the nomenclature of symptoms caused by insect and disease problems.
"I've got this thing on my wacha-ma-call-it" won't get you very far.
We need to know how to describe the "things" that we find on our plant material so a proper diagnosis and treatment can follow. Knowing a plant's history and environment helps, too.
Freshman fall to Lexington Catholic 65-54
In a game that was much closer than the score indicates the Harrison County freshman team lost to Lexington Catholic by a 65-54 score Monday night. The loss dropped the freshman Breds to a 6-3 record for the year
Harrison County trailed by only four at the end of the first quarter, but fell victim in the second to some hot three-point shooting by the Knights. Catholic stretched the lead to 13 at the half, 41-28, using marksmanship and a pressing defense.
To the editor:
I noted another accident on US 62 that sent two people to the hospital. I have no idea what gets into people's minds (probably nothing) that causes them to ignore the highway center lines.
I drive into Cynthiana at least four times a week and daily see people over the center lines, to the point of having a mirror-to-mirror impact.
Combining lack of attention with speeding, and it's a common occurrence.

Originally written on The Fantasy Fix | Last updated 3/21/13
image by: kcscoliny The Cleveland Indians have mlb.com's 14th top prospect in Francisco Lindor. The 19 year old shortstop is a run scorer and base stealer. He is comparable to Dee Gordon (with less steals) in that he has no power, will not drive in runs, but will be known as a pest on the base paths that crosses home plate often. Last year, for the Indians single-A Lake County, Lindor scored 83 runs with 27 stolen bases in 122 games. That works out to a 162 game average of 110 runs and 36 stolen bases, which is definite fantasy value, but again, this was single-A ball, and last time I checked there aren't many A-ball minor league fantasy leagues. Lindor will not see time with the Indians this season, so he can automatically be eliminated from fantasy considerations for this year, and I would even throw out 2014 as well, for all you keeper league nuts. The Indians went out and spent money this offseason, signing outfielders Nick Swisher and Michael Bourne, as well as DH/infielde...

Geocaching software for Linux
Digital GPS-aided treasure hunts, or geocaching, is becoming more popular. We investigate the choice of geocaching software available for Linux.
Geocaching is often referred to as the paper chase of the digital age. In May 2000, Dave Ulmer published the first geocache on the sci.geo.satellite‐nav mailing list.
In his posting he describes a fairly simple idea: geocachers would download the coordinates for a location off the Internet and then use a GPS device to locate the place. Once there, they would look for a hidden container with a logbook and possibly other goodies.
