I recently posted about travelling with a baby from newborn to 3 months old. In that post I admit that we didn't get to travel much. It was when Jacob was one month old that we found out that Dan had a tumour in his spine and needed a massive surgery. Just before Jacob turned 3 months old, Dan went in for a 13 hour surgery. Dan spent over a month in hospital, so it wasn't until Jacob was around five months that we were able to do a bit of travel.
Of course at the moment, our travel adventures has been much shorter. I am back at a temporary job, so we only have weekends available. Our first trip away was a weekend on the Gold Coast. We were not able to go too far afield as Dan was still in the halo at the time and could not drive (or fit into a car!).
After the halo came off, and we could drive again, we did some less urban day trips… like hiking in Mount Tamborine.
Travelling With A Baby – The Challenges
Travelling with a three to six month old is much… MUCH… easier than travelling with a newborn. However there still are challenges. At around three months old, Jacob started chronic drooling. The amount of drool this kid could produce was astounding. Litres and litres of drool.
I mentioned in my first article, that when travelling with a newborn to 3 month old, you don't actually need that many changes of clothes. A little baby doesn't have too many opportunities to get themselves dirty. But even though Mr. Droolie can't move on his own, he can still get himself very dirty as a three to six month old.
The main thing you need to pack more of is BIBS. I couldn't believe the amount of bibs we went through!
Also you will need to pack more for this age group in the way of toys. A three to six month old will need a lot more stimulation than a newborn. Rattles, and small pram toys are the way to go with this age group.
Travelling With A Baby – The Positives
Everyone said to us, "the first three months are the hardest. Once they turn three months old its like they become a whole new baby." And oh my god… its true. At three months it seemed the meaningless, endless crying stopped… he started smiling more, and even laughing. He now has his own little personality – it's awesome.
When you are travelling with a 3 – 6 month old, all the new things in the world amaze them…. but they still are not able to move around on their own. They are happy enough to just be amazed at everything from their stroller or carrier…. without constantly trying to run out into traffic. 🙂
Oh and the best part…. it is around this time that babies start sleeping through the night. Jacob still gets up maybe once or twice in the night, but he doesn't need a bottle…he just needs a cuddle and then he goes back to sleep. This is awesome for parents tired from a long day of travel.
At this stage, little Jacob became very social. He loves smiling and babbling to people. And smiling and babbling to strangers is his favourite thing to do. He makes friends everywhere he goes, which also opens us up for more local encounters when we travel.
Travelling With A 3 – 6 Month old – Packing List
The first part of the list is the same as for a newborn to 3 month old, but some of the figures are adjusted. For example, we found we needed less diapers with a 3 – 6 month old.
- Diapers, wipes and change mat – we have a great reusable change mat that we use when going out and about, but you can also buy disposable ones as well. I find the reusable mat great as it keeps everything we need together. Expect to pack 5 – 6 diapers for each day.
- Bottles and formula if not breastfeeding. You may also want to consider a portable bottle warmer or bottle sterilizer as well.
- A good stroller. You can store stuff underneath it, and baby can nap in it while you are out and about.
- Baby carrier. We bought an awesome one from Kathmandu that you can use as soon as they can hold up their own heads (around three months), until they are 19 kilos. It also has an amazing storage space underneath.
- Portable cot. We use the Phil & Ted's nest. It is so compact and light and super easy to assemble. The carry case also doubles as a suitcase and since most airlines let you check a portacot for no additional cost, it is like a free extra piece of luggage. It is only suitable for babies under 9 months, although ours will probably grew out of it at about 5 months.
- Clothes, wraps and blankets. Even though they are not moving around yet they can still get really dirty at this stage, which brings me to my next point…
- BIBS. This is when the drooling really starts, so bibs will cut down on the number of clothes changes you will need
- Baby medical kit. It is in this stage where it is now safe to give them some baby medicines if necessary. Gripe water and baby paracetamol are safe at this stage.
- Baby toiletries: baby wash, baby lotion, diaper rash cream, baby powder, baby nail clippers
- A couple toys to keep them occupied. Rattles are great, as well as toys that have lots of great things to chew on as well
- At this stage babies have a lot of energy. A life saver for us was the jolly jumper. We could stick him in that while we were getting ready, or eating dinner, etc, and he would keep himself occupied while at the same time burning off excess energy. You can get jumpers which hang from the door frames, making them easy to bring along on your travels.
Travelling with a 3 – 6 month baby is one of the more enjoyable times to travel with a baby. Not only do they still sleep quite a bit through the day, but they are also extremely interactive. One of the best things about having a child is watching them explore and learn new things, and it is in this age stage where you really start to notice them taking in the wide world around them.

Casa Systems Demos DOCSIS 3.1 C40G CCAP Delivering Higher than 400 Mbps Upstream Speeds at CableLabs Winter Conference 2016
CCAP innovator allows service providers to deliver on the promise of DOCSIS 3.1 upstream and downstream speeds today
Feb 11, 2016, 09:56 ET from Casa Systems, Inc.
ANDOVER, Mass., Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Casa Systems, a worldwide leader in next-generation cable edge technology, today announced that its Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) is powering a DOCSIS® 3.1 demonstration with upstream speeds of more than 400 Mbps at CableLabs® Winter Conference 2016, taking place February 9-12 in Orlando, Fla. The live network simulation is running on Casa's C40G high-density US 16x8 module. Casa Systems is now one of the first CCAP providers to show DOCSIS 3.1 multi-Mbps upstream traffic.
As bandwidth consumption continues to grow exponentially, DOCSIS 3.1 will enable service providers to meet subscriber demands with throughputs of up to 10 Gbps downstream and 1 Gbps upstream. Casa has proven the ability of its C100G and C40G CCAP solutions to reach the dramatically higher throughput levels made possible by DOCSIS 3.1. Prior to this week's upstream demonstration at CableLabs Winter Conference, Casa showcased DOCSIS 3.1 downstream speeds in excess of 4.5 Gbps on its C100G at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo® in October 2015.
"The transition to DOCSIS 3.1 is imminent as service providers race to meet customers' gigabit era demands, and our recent demonstrations show the readiness of our C100G and C40G to stand up to the rigors of live DOCSIS 3.1 networks," said Jerry Guo, CEO of Casa Systems. "Our CCAP solutions were built with DOCSIS 3.1 in mind and are based on a software-defined architecture, so service providers can take advantage of the standard's full potential today with no field upgrades, while also meeting future ultra-broadband requirements more easily and cost-effectively."
Casa Systems' C40G is a smaller form factor CCAP that includes the same DOCSIS 3.1-enabled upstream, downstream and switching modules as the C100G. Both the C100G and C40G enable service providers to deliver voice, video and high-speed data over one platform. With full DOCSIS 3.1 support, service providers can deploy gigabit services now while being well-positioned to scale and provide additional services down the road – without the need to rip and replace switch cards, line cards or PHY modules. Service providers of all sizes, including Time Warner Cable, Mediacom, Liberty Global and Wave Broadband, are deploying Casa's CCAP solutions to deliver an optimal customer experience and differentiated service tiers, and to reduce OPEX.
About Casa Systems, Inc.
Casa Systems has defined a new category of software-centric Ultra Broadband network edge devices that allow cable and mobile service providers to intelligently and cost-effectively scale their networks to meet gigabit demands today. Based on disruptive technologies to target the growing market opportunity in interactive digital video and broadband IP services, Casa Systems provides market-leading, DOCSIS 3.1-enabled CCAP and CMTS products, universal EdgeQAM and intelligent video processing solutions for broadcast and unicast services, as well as MobileEdge small cell and managed Wi-Fi solutions. #UltraBroadband #GigabitSpeeds #DOCSIS3.1

Which led to this Smoked with a 50-50 blend of Oak and Cherry pellets using the AMNPS Well, I figured I'd go Tex-Mex today with a 50-50 blend of Oak and Mesquite.. Ooops, I don't have any of Todd's Mesquite pellets... So I ran down to Cabela's and got some Mesquite pellets and did a 50-50 Oak Mesquite blend. Well, for those of you with weak stomachs, close your eyes... Turns out, Cabela's pellets burn nice and hot! Shame the order of pellets I ordered from Todd already shipped.. Looks like I'll be placing another order! Warning to anyone that thinks Todd's pellets can be substituted, they can't.

BMW, the largest premium carmaker in the world will hire 1,000 new permanent employees throughout its four UK manufacturing plants.
BMW says most of the jobs will be at the Mini plant in Oxford, but the Group's pressings plant in Swindon, engine plant at Hams Hall, near Birmingham, and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars plant in Goodwood, West Sussex are all set to benefit.
According to the official press release, workers on temporarily contracts will be given priority.
The initial recruiting phase will start the New Year and covers about 700 new jobs, while the recruitment process for the remaining 300 contracts will start in 2016.
Overall the company is to increase the number of manufacturing employees by 15 percent by the end of 2016.
In the UK, car output rose by 17 percent last month compared to the same period of 2012, The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said. For the first 10 month of the year, the entire industry has produced 1,286,287 cars.
In addition, SMMT has revised its forecast for this year – from about 2.22 million car registrations to 2.25 million vehicles – that's about 10 percent more.
More than $4.2 billion has been invested into the UK car industry as companies like Bentley and JLR Jaguar Land Rover increase investments in many factories across the country.
Britain's unemployment rate fell to 7.6 percent in the three months to September – that's the lowest level in four years.

Beautiful racks best I've seen,and a wonderful helper.
Ill take some of that wood off your hands XP Were in the midst of an icestorm here and the "Cord" I bought only half of it is seasoned and the other half is waterlogged and frozen..... nice racks btw
My brother in the Waco area burns more wood than me.
Nice racks for sure.
I also thought PVC at first.. lol
Very nice. I'm no welder, but I can slop glue on PVC just fine. I'm thinking I'd like to do something similar with PVC. Do you think PVC would work, and what size do you think would be best?
Does PVC crack and break down over time with extreme tempature changes? No need to weld, I'm using 2" steel pipe I had lying around, works just fine for me. Once you get weight on them they aint moving it would be nice to have those ends but I just stack them pretty.
Nice wood racks.
Insulation is important down there too, especially during the air conditioning season which can be 5 months of the year or more.
Usually more for us. But I got to thinking....I wonder if some of what we do to make our homes efficient for summer make them less so in winter. Insulation is great either way but for example I have radiant barrier roof decking that is supposed block 90+% of the sun's radiant heat from the sun. Keeps the attic cooler in the summer and reduces your cooling bill. In the winter, I might like that radiant heat to keep the house warmer, no? Do you guys install radiant barriers up north?
I would think PVC would have a relatively short life in our weather conditions here. You'd also probably need to put a runner across the top of the rack to keep them solid.
But good point on not needing a welder. You could do what I did with threaded pipe ends and some elbows.
Ideally what happens up at the roof and in the attic will be isolated from the house interior. You would be better off to maximize solar gain in the interior of the house from the low sun angle in the winter. Even if it is not through windows in the house a solar space heater can help in your climate. See how precaud did this in the green room.
I wish I had some Sch 40 pipe "laying around"...excellent job! Don't get to far ahead on wood, uncovered stuff I have from 3 years ago is almost past it's prime...gotta burn it up this season for sure.
Well, I wish I hadn't had it laying around. Since I only had enough for 1 rack laying around. The 2nd two proved to be kinda pricey.
Too far ahead on wood? Are you in the wrong forum?
What type of wood is it, have not had any problem with three year old wood getting bad.
No and I'm way behind. The house build took all my "energy" so I did't cut any wood until Oct-ish. And yes, saws, chaps, grinder, pto log splitter, tractor for the logsplitter, etc ....gets expensive....BUT LOOK AT THEN MONEY WE ARE SAVING ON THE LIGHT BILL
...and no I wouldn't have it any other way
Oak, up on pallets uncovered. The lower layer has termites in it.....NG(not good).
I've had a plan (no time to act on it), to buy some ground treatment for termites, and install it in the aisles between my woodpiles. I've also seen evidence of termites in my stacks, mostly in the wood that sat on dirt for a few years in the round.
Get that wood up off the ground using something that the termites can't or won't eat and you will have your problem solved. As I understand it they have to have a path to ground to survive.
Consider using plastic pallets and be sure they are elevated high enough (perhaps go 2 high if necessary) so the termites can't mound their way up.
I'm glad I haven't had to deal with those buggers! We do get carpenter ants here but I believe we've beat those back into the woods finally... at least for a few months.
They have no trouble building a path, when none exist. Mud tunnels.
I just googled that - amazing and scary. I reiterate - sure glad I haven't had to deal with them!
Yep, the first log house I built in TX was up on old creosote power poles. The little buggers would mud tunnel up over 4' on the poles to get to the sweet sweet southern yellow pine logs
you teaching that girl the tricks of the trade is worth every penny my friend. there is no price to the amount of memories you are creating for that little girl right there. in 30 years she will look back and say, i remember the days when I did this and that with "MKING7" lol.

Slim to none. Your damages are based on the value of the car as of the time of the accident, not the amount that you paid when you originally bought it. Do some research to find out if the insurance company is lowballing you. If you can come up with some evidence that the car was worth more, show them what you've got and offer to split the difference.

The Lucky Law Firm, PLC | Robert Morrison Lucky
Under Louisiana law, the insurance company is only responsible for paying the actual cash value of your vehicle at the time of the accident. You may want to check to see if you had any gap insurance on your vehicle. Gap insurance will make up the difference in the amount you owe versus the value of the vehicle.

Ford, Howard & Cornett, P.C. | Bradley Cornett
You do not mention whether you are dealing with your insurance company or the other driver's insurance company. Either way, the measure of damages is the difference between the value of the vehicle before the accident and the value of the vehicle after the accident. For a total loss, that would be the fair market value of the vehicle on the day of the accident. What you owed on the vehicle is irrelevant. (If you hit a $10,000 car, should you have to pay $20,000 for it just because the owner owes more than it is worth? Your debt does not make the care worth more.) The value of the car is what is relevant. You need to focus on proving that the vehicle was worth more than has been offered to you. Get a quote from a used care dealer, use online resources like Kelly Blue Book, etc. Good luck.

Goodman & Goodman PA | Bruce Elliott Goodman
Whether you are pursuing this claim through the insurer for the vehicle that hit you or your own collision coverage, no insurance company will pay you more than the fair market value of your vehicle. The amount that you owed on the purchase money loan for the vehicle at the time of the accident is not material to the value of the vehicle. However, an attorney could assist you in negotiating the actual fair market value of your vehicle. Also, your question does not state whether you had a bodily injury in this accident, but if your did, an attorney could assist you in that claim as well.

Generally, insurance carriers are obliged to reimburse you the fair market "replacement value" of the vehicle. That is to say, the amount of money required for you to replace the vehicle of the same year, make and model and with the same general features.

Neighborhood Law Office, P.C. | Jim Underhill
The odds are that the Insurance company is simply low-balling you. The insurance company is required to pay you for your actual loss, less the deductible. Many insurance companies are much worse than others in trying to low ball. You should continue to argue with the adjustor. Make sure that you document extras on the car, like after market sound systems, blue tooth add ons, special detailing, etc., all these things serve to increase the value of the car and increase the amount they should be paying.

You are entitled to compensation for all damages (what you lost). For property damage, it is the value of the car, not what you paid for it. You do not say what else you lost besides the car. If there were valuable items inside your car that were destroyed, you may be able to get these also, if you can prove they were there and destroyed. YOU can recover damages for any injuries you received, including lost wages, cost of medical treatment, and pain and suffering.

Generally, if you owe $15,000 on your vehilce and it is "totaled" in a collision, you are only entitled to be compensated for the fair market value of the car. If that is only $13,000, you may not be able to collect the remaining $2,000.00 from the at-fault-driver. However, you should review your own insurance to see if you have GAP insurance coverage and/or some other form of coverage which may assist you with this difference.

You are only entitled to the Fair Market Value of the vehicle at the time of the accident. It doesn't matter how much you owe. You may be able to recover something for loss of use for the reasonable time it would take you to replace the vehicle if you had the financial ability to do so. Sometimes, you can get the equivalent of a car rental for about a month.

Lacy Fields, Attorney at Law, LLC | Lacy Fields
You are only entitled to the value of the car in a "property damage" claim. The remaining money is just interest, and is essentially the money you paid for the privilege of taking the car immediately and being allowed to make payments on it. However, you can recover additional money in a "personal injury" claim. Obviously that only works if you were actually injured, and have been to the doctor.

The Law Offices of Paul A. Samakow, P.C. | Paul A. Samakow
Your chances are zero. The obligation of the at fault party is to pay you the value of your vehicle. You "lost" the money because your vehicle depreciated and because you had payments. If you had paid all cash for the vehicle at purchase, the actual funds "less" would be less. As an example, suppose over the life of your loan on the car you paid $1500.00 in interest payments. If you paid all cash, in that example and using your $15,000 number, the vehicle cost was $13,500.00. So, when you get value of $13,000.00, the difference is only $500.00, not $2,000.00. Best to you.

Lombardi Law Firm | Steve Lombardi
Well, the likelihood of collecting a judgment depends on the judgment debtor having assets and a stream of income upon which to execute. But in the situation you've described you are saying, essentially you either paid too much for the car or you borrowed too much against it. After an accident in which the car is a total loss you are paid the market value of the car just prior to the collision. In this instance you are agreeing (I'm not sure why....) that the car had a value less than the $15,000 you owed on it. Credit Unions and banks are pretty good about not lending too much money on things like cars. They have a pretty good idea of a car's value prior to lending money for it to be purchased. So make sure you're right about the car's value just prior to the collision. You may after all be short changing yourself.

Law Offices of Andrew J Spinnell, LLC | Andrew J Spinnell
There is a presumption of liability on the other car in a rear end collision so your chances of winning liability are very good. Collecting the difference is another matter. Did you sign a release in order to receive the insurance money? If so you cannot collect any more money. If not you can sue and try to collect by a property or income execution. The assets of the other auto driver and owner need to be known in order to assess your chances.

Not good. You have to establish fair market value and they probably have their report, which they should give to you, that establishes the $13,000 amount. Ask for it if they did not get it to you already. You can try to argue for more money, but doubtful they will agree. Sometimes they pay extra if you can show you just bought tires or got a new engine or did something extraordinary not too long before the accident. That may get you a few extra bucks.

Craig Kelley & Faultless | David W. Craig
When someone is negligent and they damage your car you are entitled to recover the lesser of the fair market value of the vehicle or the reasonable cost of repair. So if it is cheaper to total out the car than fix it that is what you are stuck with. If your car is totaled then you are entitled to the fair market value of the car. You are not stuck with whatever the insurance company says. You should do your own research to determine the fair market value of the car. You are not entitled to what you paid for the car or what you owe on the car. You are only entitled to the fair market value of the car. Meaning you are basically able to collect the amount you could have sold your car to before the accident. You are also entitled to have a rental car or the value of the loss of use of the vehicle while it is being repaired or while you are waiting to be paid the cars value. You should be given a reasonable period of time to find a replacement vehicle as well.

ROWE LAW FIRM | Jeffrey S. Wittenbrink
In Louisiana you are only able to collect for the value of your car at the time it is rendered a "total loss". It is a truism that a car is automatically worth less (depreciates) the moment it is driven off of the car lot. Fortunately for you, the car was "paid off," and you actually have the $13,000 to go and purchase another vehicle. Many who purchase new cars that are then "totaled" end up not receiving enough from their insurance proceeds to pay off the loan on the new vehicle. You are also able to seek damages for any injuries you may have received in the accident, even if those injuries were minor, such as headaches, muscle strains and sprains, etc. You should be able to recover the expenses of your medical treatment, as well as damages for your pain and suffering, in an amount depending on the severity of the injury.

That depends entirely on the facts of your collision. The at-fault party is responsible for your damages, and if you had additional damages you are entitled to make a claim for them.

Holzer Edwards | Kurt Holzer
Generally speaking, if you owe more money on the loan for the car than the fair market value of the car, you are "upside down" on the loan. Unfortunately, if the vehicle is a total loss, the insurance company is not required to pay more money to you simply because you are "upside down" or over financed with your car loan. They are only obligated to pay the "fair market value" of your car. Often when you purchase a vehicle, you can get gap insurance to bridge the gap between what your vehicle is worth and what you owe on the car loan. Having gap insurance is a life saver for anyone in trouble of being upside down on a car loan because of a car accident. You have to decide whether it is worth the cost to you.

Broad Law Firm, LLC | Donald K. Broad
In Indiana, the answer is "slim to none." Assuming that the value of the car is actually $13,000, that amount would be all you would be entitled to recover from the person who rear-ended you. If on the other hand, you can prove that the car is worth more than $13,000, you can pursue the person who hit you for the difference.

Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is my first guide so... if i have missed anything or if someone wants to know some more about karma leave a comment letting me know. I hope this changes your mind about karma. She is one of the most fun APC suports I've played.
Karma has been that champion that everyone has avoided because "she sucks" and has "no place in any lane." I'm here to change that perception and bring her back! There is a small group of dedicated Karma players that know her strength, I will show you the way I play and the way I build Karma.
"Sh!t will hit the fan" ~ Extreme_Bearhugs
Pros / Cons
Can bait the best.
Can burst damage with the best.
Her support strength is one of the best Spirit Bond.
She uses fans... ****!ng fans man!.
Needs to be in every fight to receive assist gold.
Without a good adc she has no one to Spirit Bond with.
Hardest to learn.
Karma does the plays!
When I got karma for the first time I knew exactly what she is meant to do and be. Karma is that Support that benefits from being built like a pure APC. If she is built like a Sona or a Soraka, she will fall behind and wont be able to support her team mates. Karma is not for the feint hearted.
The way Karma is played from my end is AGGRESIVE! she is one hellofab!tch to lane against. When supporting, your main goal is to be up in the enemies grill popping your Mantra + Soul Shield combo along with Heavenly Wave.
Ill chat about the way mantra is used for karma further down.
Remember: Late game she is most strong when she is lower on health, so the baits are important.
Why flash and ignite?
For Karma this is a must. Do not swap it out for ghost, Spirit Bond is a speed bonus and slow if it latched on an enemy.
Personally this is what I use in conjunction with summoner's warth, that 5 extra AP points adds onto karmas passive Inner Flame. To top it off Rabadon's Deathcap improves the AP.
Karma gets the items!
Highlighting the favourite items on the Karma Build :)
Athene's Unholy Grail = My favourite item for any ap or support. The AP, Magi res, Mana regen and Cooldown Reduction is perfect for Karma. SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM dem Q's and E's
Rylai's Crystal Scepter = The most amazing item for Karma's Mantra + E combo. If used correctly in a team fight, Their whole team is slowed, being slowed more by Karma's Q spam.
Liandry's Torment = It may look weird on Karma but with the AP she has stacked with her passive aswell as Rylai's giving the enemy team an aoe burn effect is alot of fun.
Karma tells you, how to play her.
Karma Play Style
Aggressive combat - Make sure to keep the harass up early game. If early game isnt doing to well tell the team to play defensive and farm up. Karma can turn the tides of a team battle late game.
Always find that special someone - who will carry hard and have a special friendship bond with them... Keep your W on them at all times and use it to chase and slow. Friendship saves lives.
Karma Support in Fights
Pay a lot of attention in team fights - Team fights is where karma excels, her name really reflects the way she plays. Make sure your tank initiates and you are there for the start of the fight. When he/she is in the fight.
+ for the added heal.
Your mantra should be off CD now and ready for another + combo on the Closest champion in the fight.
Keep and Eye on your Mantra cooldown and save 1 mantra early game, you never know when a gank or intiate is going to happen. That 1 mantra can save you adc's life with a single Shield or Heal.

France is seeking greater assistance from technology firms as part of a plan to beef up domestic surveillance and add to its already heavy legal arsenal to track terror threats in the wake of last week's deadly attacks.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls on Tuesday said France would soon propose a new surveillance law aimed at giving intelligence services "all the legal means to accomplish their mission." Mr. Valls said the country would also reinforce domestic intelligence services, boosting staff levels to track a growing number of potential terrorists.
"We have to focus on the Internet and social networks, which are more than ever used to recruit, organize and disseminate technical knowhow to commit terrorist acts," Mr. Valls said in an address to parliament that was met at times with standing ovations. "We must go further."

The hotel is older but has recent updates in rooms. It is a popular spot with the Dutch visitors. It does have one of the better fish feeding beaches in the Carribean. We could stand in the water and at different times of day have different fish come up to us. Beach in front of hotel is nice, granted not cleaned regularly enough to remove the nasty cigarette butts left by less environmentally conscious guests. Staff was super kind.
Hotel has been updated on executive floor...recommend you try to stay on that floor. There are limited snacks in the executive lounge, but the staff is great in there. Beer (alcoholic beverages) are discounted in the executive lounge as well.
The lunch menu and food at the restaurant on the beach was very good...the issue became evening menus...overpriced, food "ok" in evening, service very slot in evening. There are restaurants you can walk to with better service, pricing and just excellent food.
You can rent Kayaks (which we did), snorkel or scuba equipment etc...
Word of advice, watch the currently and exchange rate on for taxis...we definitely got taken advantage of once, but learned after that....(i.e./ local vs US currently quote)....otherwise all positive taxi rides after that in Williamsted.
We did the Wanna Bike tours..super fun, got to see flamingos, history and scenery. All in all very relaxing location.

–Sandra Kischuk [firstname.lastname@example.com]
Having a "bad boss" really can make you ill . . . as can having people in your personal life who discredit your work and undermine you emotionally.
"Bad bosses" (and negative people, in general) seldom change their ways. In the case of bosses, if their habitual misbehavior is pointed out, there is a greater likelihood that you will be introduced to the door than they will see how their actions damage those working under them. If you try to avoid them and their toxicity, they get paranoid and seek you out.
Most of their toxic behavior has to do with control . . . of you . . . and of the situation. Often, when people distrust and attempt to control you, it is because they distrust themselves and have very poor self control. They see their oppressive behavior as "doing the best they can to get you to do what you are supposed to" or "looking out for your best interests." But they are oblivious to tending to the "weeds" in their own gardens. My best advice . . . find a new boss . . . but don't let the boss know you are looking.
Those who harm you in your personal life may only be trying to fulfill their own needs or respond to their own insecurities. Sometimes acknowledging them with a gentle reminder brings them back on track. "Yes, I understand and respect how you feel . . . even though I have a different take on it. I hope you can understand and respect our differences." Bang! You've raised the bar and told them you respect their position . . . requesting the same in return. If you are to be equals, then it is reasonable to expect reciprocal behavior. If the person continues to try to convince you that you are wrong and they are right, you are either truly choosing a life-endangering path or they are not respecting who you are. If you are not headed toward destruction, then the person has told you his/her choice—to not respect you. Who needs friends like that?
The message they are sending is that they are better than you, wiser than you. These people will like you as long as you go along with them and defer to their greater wisdom. (And, if you go along with them, the likelihood is that, long term, they will not respect you—after all, their idea was better than yours; ergo, they are superior to you.) When you finally decide that some of what they have been telling you is really a bunch of hooey (garbage), you have a choice—you can ignore what they say, you can confront them, or you can decrease contact.
Your relationship may disintegrate . . . but how close was a relationship based on disrespect, where the focus was on differences rather than what you shared in common?
I have friends with opinions the polar opposite of mine. I don't feel the need to change them . . . they are who they are. If they persist in trying to discuss the unresolved issue of our differences, I assure them that I haven't changed and don't intend to change who I am. (I am not asking them to change.) One of my friends with whom I had differences spent months, trying to convince me that she was right and I was wrong. The discussions were stressful. I liked the person, but not the haranguing behavior.
I finally told her I respected her position and enjoyed her company, but rather than focusing on our differences, I preferred we talk about what we had in common. When we did that, our conversations became mutually rewarding. I now look forward to talking with her instead of dreading how I'm going to respond to the next attack without offending her. If we had not resolved this in this way, I'm sure we would have drifted apart.
Truly respecting others' positions while maintaining our own self respect . . . understanding that we each have differences . . . and the differences do not make one person right and the other wrong . . . requires seeing thing as not "black" or "white," but in shades of gray. For some people this may be difficult. Recent studies suggest that these "black/white absolutism" and "flexible shades of gray" orientations are genetic . . . but it could also be the result of upbringing—back to that old nature vs. nurture argument about why we are who we are.
Yet, what do people fight over?
We don't fight over what we have in common (except, when, like hungry dogs when there's only one bone). We fight over our differences . . . over trying to be right, and getting the other person to admit they are wrong . . . that we are better, and they are less so . . . that we deserve more, and they, less (oops, sounds like the dogs!). People who are confident in who they are don't have to try to prove themselves through lengthy argument. Only those on "shaky ground" feel the need to convert others . . . because they need others' approval and agreement as a reassurance.
Over the centuries, labeling other cultural groups as "less human" has resulted in atrocities . . . as it still does today. We haven't learned much. We justify mistreatment of others by labeling them as different from us and less human than we are. Psychologists label those who don't like other people as sociopaths . . . but the sociopathic mindset been the accepted norm for millennia. Scary.
As writers, we can "go along with the crowd," writing for popular approval, and feeling frustrated and unhappy when we don't get it. Or we can use our gift to explore and present new ideas . . . producing insights (logical understanding) and the "aha!" (emotional response) that change lives.
Marketing professionals and good writers know: People are seldom won over by logical argument. You win them when you touch their hearts.

Up on my soapbox
Thursday, January 27, 2011
Ok, when did using the term 'diet' become a bad word? Why do we have to dumb it down and be politically correct here? Seriously, no matter what way you eat - that is your diet. You go to the doctors office for a check up, she asks "and what about your diet? How and what have you been eating?" You ashamedly admit you go to the drive thru 1 time per week, and indulge in soda's and pizza when its available. Or, you excitedly tell her about how you have been eating a vegetarian meal twice a day, and you have switched from sweetened desserts to fruits. That is a true statement of your diet. Remember the question she asked was not "are you sticking to your diet?" unless you have discussed and worked out a special meal plan. What you eat IS your diet.
True, it is a 'lifestyle' change to take care of yourself. The lifestyle change should not only be to eat properly, but also exercise, and sleep well... but, do we really need to say that we shouldn't call what we are eating a 'diet'?
My suspicion is that this is part of the 'everyone is a winner' mentality, people shouldn't be made to feel badly about their situation... blahblahblah. Win or lose, this is where experience comes from. You will learn something from that experience. Your family, friends, and even health care provider generally wont ask "why didn't you stick to your diet?". The 'everyone is a winner' crowd says this is accusatory, so people try to be overly sensitive (and call this empathy) and not be so direct (but, really that is what they are thinking). Come on and ask yourself this question. Why didn't this work? Was it to restrictive, unrealistic, etc. Learn from it.
Reducing stress about your "physical reality" (rolling eye's) is something you want to do to effectively loose weight, but please don't lie to yourself. You haven't taken care of yourself. Your fat, and it hurts. You have to make these changes. People have a difficult time telling people around them that they are on a diet, because "what if I'm not successful?". This is a defeatist mindset. Its a known fact people generally take more than one attempt to quit smoking. Your going to try again, that is what makes human - we make mistakes. It's good that people around you learn you are working on self improvement, don't be ashamed to tell people. Friends and family will cheer you on, they want you to loose weight and feel better. Oh and guess what? If you start, others will follow... you can support each other and possibly become more successful in your health and weight loss goals.
Oh, and BTW, this is a category I want to be a loser.
Don't be afraid, you too can be a loser.

Well thank you Scraplyn and Alaskalillady :)Congratulations Alaskalillady - sometimes we go through our daily activities and don't see our own progress... just simply because we see ourselves everyday, but to have that kind of response from family members is the best :) Keep up the good work!

What a wonderful blog post. I have found great support from my family by telling them about my healthy diet and weight loss efforts. Some of my family that I haven't seen in a long time didn't even recognize me when I saw them the last time. That was one of the best rewards I could give to myself was the thought that all the changes I have been making were worth it.

text: The United States Coast Guard (USCG) initiated the Qualship program on January 1, 2001 to reward quality owners. Lloyd's Register classed ships dominate the latest USCG list, with more quality ratings than any other classification society. These ships will all benefit from less frequent USCG inspections. Among the 41% of ships that are classed by Lloyd's Register are those owned by AP Moller, P & O Nedlloyd, Overseas Shipholding Group, Shell International and BP Amoco. "I am very supportive of the USCG Qualship initiative", said Alan Gavin, Marine Director at Lloyd's Register. " It is an important step in the right direction. We have many owners who run quality ships and who do not deserve to be treated the same as the substandard owner and be continually subjected to unnecessary inspections." The level of reward for quality ship operation varies with ship type. Ships carrying freight will benefit the most by having only biennial examinations in future. Annual inspections continue for tankers, but intermediate examinations will be less detailed.

There was a heavy police presence at a downtown Winnipeg apartment for several hours on Wednesday as officers dealt with an armed standoff.
It began at about 5 p.m. and ended at about 12 a.m. Thursday when a man was taken into custody without incident.
The man had been inside a 16th floor suite of the building on the 300 block of Assiniboine Avenue, near Hargrave Street.
Police have not released any further details about the situation or any possible charges.

Hello folks, I've been working on an Arduino Mega project with Ethernet Shield, an RTC, a little buzzer, a graphic LCD and a configurable number of sensors that measures temperature, pressure, humidity etc. I publish the data on Cayenne's Dashboard and also store the measurements on SD as backup.During the refinement of the code, I started having errors on writing the data to SD. This was driving me nuts as I could not figure out where the problem was. SD writing worked fine on setup{} but on loop{} it didn't.Making the story short, I finally found that if I comment //Cayenne.run() within loop{} the logging on SD works fine. If I enable the line, SD writing gives me writing error then stops or sometimes during debugging, it doesn't stops or give errors, but logging does not happen. Again, when disabling Cayenne.run line, logging works.
The code is getting big but at compile, I still have 3879 bytes for local storage.I thought that I might not have enough memory but using freemem I had at least 2K on critical points of the code so I believe I have ram.
My loop looks like this:void loop() { tm = now(); if ((tm - tmPreviousTimeText) > 1) { updateTimeText(); // gets current time and stores it in decreasing CSV text from year to second like "2017/04/10,22:14:46" tmPreviousTimeText = tm; } if ((tm - tmPreviousLCD) > 1 ) { prindSnsrsLCD(); // prints sensors result to LCD. tmPreviousLCD = tm; } if ((tm - tmPreviousTakeReading) > smplFreq) { takeReading(); // gets data from sensors writeResultsToSD(); // writes data do SD usinf sdFAT.h library tmPreviousTakeReading = tm; } if ((tm - tmPreviousOscilateLED) > 1) { iAmAlive = !iAmAlive; digitalWrite(ledPin, iAmAlive) ; just a led blink to indicate the system is working. tmPreviousOscilateLED = tm; } Cayenne.run();}
I disabled each of the possible routines above simplifying and reducing the code except of course writeResultsToSD() and Cayenne.run() to see if they work together but they don't like each other
with Cayenne enabled, data is properly sent to Dashboard but SD doesn't workwith Cayenne disabled, SD writing works.All measurements are sent to Cayenne using Virtual ports.
A sample code for a Virtual port is:CAYENNE_OUT(V1) { byte i = 0; optional call method if (sensorUnit[i] == F(" C ")) { Cayenne.virtualWrite(V1, sensorMeasureVal[i], TEMPERATURE, CELSIUS); } else if (sensorUnit[i] == F(" % ")) { Cayenne.virtualWrite(V1, sensorMeasureVal[i], HUMIDITY, PERCENT); } else if (sensorUnit[i] == F(" hPa")) { Cayenne.hectoPascalWrite(V1, sensorMeasureVal[i]); }}
I'd love to hear suggestions, hints, tips of where a bug could be? If I get this solved, I will certainly share.
Thanks Carlos.
It's an interesting problem, I'm curious what the solution will be. What is in writeResultsToSD();?
Hi Adam, writeResults() is the routine that stores the collected data from last sensors read to the SD. It uses sdFat.h library.
It's a quite short routine that builds the name of the file with the date and the sensor number and stores the result as csv to each sensor's file. It calls appendLog( fileName, logString); passing the file name and the csv data.I am posting both below.
//**************************************//*** Write last results to SD ***//*** for all enabled sensosr ***//**************************************void writeResultsToSD() { Serial.println(F("\n--> SD")); String fileName; for (byte i = 0; i < numSensors; i++) { if (sensorEnabled[i]) { switch (sensor[i][0]) { case 1: fileName = 's'; break; case 2: fileName = 'i'; break; } fileName += String(sensor[i][1]) + String(sensor[i][2] + 1) + dateDash.substring(1, dateDash.length()) + F(".log"); logString = timeText + F(","); logString += sensorMeasureVal[i]; char fileNameChar[14]; fileName.toCharArray(fileNameChar, 13); appendLog( fileNameChar, logString); } }// Serial.println(F("."));}
//************************************************************//*** Write log file ***//*** pass the log file name and the log line to be stored ***//************************************************************void appendLog(char logFile[14], String text ) { // set date time callback function SdFile::dateTimeCallback(dateTime); tm = now(); // sprintf(timestamp, "%02d:%02d:%02d %2d/%2d/%2d \n", hour(tm), minute(tm), second(tm), month(tm), day(tm), year(tm) - 2000); DEBUG_PRINTS("'"); DEBUG_PRINT(text); DEBUG_PRINTS("' ----> "); // dataFile = sdAppend.open(logFile, FILE_WRITE); if (!sdAppend.open(logFile, FILE_WRITE)) { // if (!sdAppend.open(logFile, O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_AT_END)){ // if (!sdAppend.open(logFile, O_CREAT | O_WRITE | O_AT_END | O_APPEND)) { auxLcdLine = "err wrt "; auxLcdLine += logFile; DEBUG_PRINTLN(auxLcdLine); logLcdMessages(auxLcdLine); showLcdMessages(); beep(2); char errmsg[60]; auxLcdLine.toCharArray(errmsg, 60); sd.errorHalt(errmsg); } sdAppend.println(text); sdAppend.flush(); sdAppend.close(); DEBUG_PRINTS("'"); DEBUG_PRINT(logFile); DEBUG_PRINTS("'\n"); // delay( 100 ); // <-- wait a little}
I know it's brute force but what matters is that the SD write error went away. I just added a initSD(); as the first line of appendLog and the write errors disappeared. So the first few lines now look like this:
void appendLog(char logFile[14], String text ) { initSD(); // <-----------Just added this. It was supposed to be used once on setup but.... // set date time callback function SdFile::dateTimeCallback(dateTime); tm = now();
Now another problem just appeared. Cayenne breaks after a few minutes (sometimes seconds) and arduino locks.I isolated the problem to calls to: Cayenne.virtualWrite(V1, sensorMeasureVal[i], TEMPERATURE, CELSIUS);
It is called and never returns. I have no idea on how to go deeper into this.
A sample of my code that sends data back to Cayenne looks like this:
CAYENNE_OUT(V1) { Serial.print(F("1")); //freeMem(); byte i = 0; // printV(i);// prints sensor information being sent to Cayenne //if (sensorUnit[i] == F(" C ")) { Cayenne.celsiusWrite (V4, sensorMeasureVal[i]);} // optional call method if (sensorUnit[i] == F(" C ")) { Cayenne.virtualWrite(V1, sensorMeasureVal[i], TEMPERATURE, CELSIUS); Serial.print(F("a")); //freeMem(); } else if (sensorUnit[i] == F(" % ")) { Cayenne.virtualWrite(V1, sensorMeasureVal[i], HUMIDITY, PERCENT); Serial.print(F("b")); //freeMem(); } else if (sensorUnit[i] == F(" hPa")) { Cayenne.hectoPascalWrite(V1, sensorMeasureVal[i]); Serial.print(F("c")); //freeMem(); } Serial.print(F(".")); //freeMem();}
I replaced the Ethernet Shield w/o success and my network is working as I have other arduino connected and working with Cayenne at the same time on the same hub.
Any suggestions on how to go further?
Thanks in advance.
Adam, I am talking about this problem on another post below where kreigg was also helping.
Please take a look to it as I tried MANY things to find the problem but despite all, it still remains there and I have no other ideas to debug. It really looks like a problem with Cayenne, I guess.Thank you.Carlos.
I would isolate this to using only the standard Cayenne barebones sketch including this call.
I am not convinced it is a Cayenne bug, but doing this test will prove if this call hangs, and the dev team has a reproducable bug.
