6. PC Card Considerations
1. Introduction
The 200LX palmtop has an extremely complicated power system for its size. You may only put in the batteries and plug it in to the wall, but chances are that sooner or later you'll get to the computer's bad side, and need to read this. I did. There wasn't a power system FAQ, then.
An onboard battery meter (a kludged 6-bit ADC) gives very accurate battery voltage measurements for both the main and backup batteries, ranging from 1.57V to 3.30V, in .0286V increments. If you're paranoid like me, it pays to get a program like LXPro that you can pop up to read battery voltages without going into Setup (which isn't terribly accurate anyway.) LXPro can be found at SUPER.
2.1. What is the backup battery for?
The backup battery maintains the system's RAM disk when no other power is available. This is normally when the main batteries are completely empty and the 200LX is not plugged in to the wall.
2.2. What is "Backup Mode" / "Exiting Backup Mode.." ?
It is a power-saving mode designed to prevent data loss. The theory is that the RAM disk of the 200LX (also known as the C: drive) needs power to maintain its contents. Most people value the contents of the C: drive and want to maintain them, at any cost. Even if it means their machine suddenly turns off and they lose whatever they were working on.
2.3. What triggers Backup Mode?
Any of the conditions which would require the system to run off the backup battery trigger Backup Mode. The main cause of going into "Backup Mode" is hot-inserting a PC Card, or in other words, inserting it while the machine is on. Most PC Cards cause a "spike" of current usage when they are first inserted which quickly settles down to their normal range. Often the spike is quite high; many cards draw over 100ma more than their operating current when first inserted. This quickly goes down to their normal operating specs, but even so, this very short current usage spike causes a voltage dip, which makes the 200LX think the batteries are very low. To prevent data loss, it hibernates.
The main culprits are 28.8Kbps and 33.6Kbps modems, or Ethernet cards. Occasionally flash cards have been known to trigger Backup Mode as well, but this is much more rare. Most 14.4 modems will not shut down the 200LX.
To prevent entering Backup Mode, the best thing you can do is TURN OFF the 200LX before inserting any cards!
2.4 What are the dangers of Backup Mode?
The most obvious danger is that your RAM drive will be erased. If you are plugged into a wall socket, your data is most likely safe. If you are on batteries, it's not so certain. Most of the time your batteries will have sufficient power to supply the C: drive's DRAM chips with enough electricity to maintain your data. This is because Backup Mode is usually entered long before your batteries are totally drained. (Contrary to a popular myth among 200LX users, Backup Mode does not force use of the backup battery. It will try all other power sources first.) However, if your batteries _are_ totally drained, or if your batteries have been removed, then the backup battery takes over. This is a situation you want to avoid, because:
- The backup battery will not last as long as the main batteries
- The backup battery is more expensive to replace than the main batteries
- The backup battery will read out at a fairly constant voltage until it is almost dead, then plunge. If you've been using it a lot, you may noteven know it by the voltage reading.
In a typical situation, entering Backup Mode is equivalent to rebooting the machine. Hitting the [ON] key will bring the unit back up as though from a reboot. If your main batteries are too low to turn the unit on, you may hear a beep and see the screen flash, or you may see nothing at all.
If _every_ power source was too low to supply power to your RAM drive, your C: drive will be cleared and you will see the dreaded "Initializing RAM disk" message when you finally restore power to the machine.
Times2 Tech and Thaddeus 32MB upgraded machines are special in this regard. The above warnings apply to their on-motherboard RAM, which is highly vulnerable. The chips used for the 32MB drive, however, use less power than the built-in RAM and are a bit safer during power loss.
2.4. When should I change the backup battery?
Hewlett-Packard suggests that the backup battery be replaced annually. Really, it's not necessary to do so until the 200LX displays the message:
BKUP BATTERY LOW - Press ESC
However, you should always have one handy, because once this message is displayed the backup battery may be only minutes from being totally empty.
2.4.1. When does the palmtop detect a low backup battery condition?
The 200LX displays the BKUP BATTERY LOW message when the backup battery's voltage has dropped to 2.80V.
2.5. How do I change the backup battery?
Pull the infrared cover off. This will reveal the infrared LEDs and the grey plastic backup battery tray. Pull the small tab with enough force to pull out the battery, but no more. The tray's tab tears very easily. The battery's type is CR 2032. Make sure that when you put the new battery in, the silver, labeled side goes _down_. Replacement is the opposite of removal.
2.6. Do I risk anything by not using a backup battery (other than loss of sanity from the incessant "BKUP BATTERY LOW" message?)
Yes. If the main batteries are too low to maintain memory, you will risk serious data corruption or loss. Basically, it's a Very Bad Idea. Don't do it.
3.1. What are the main batteries for?
Without main batteries, the computer is forced to overload its internal fission reactor, which supplies most of the current. This leads to excessive radiation and may cause skin cancer. Unfortunately, the glowing effect from the reactor doesn't reach the screen, as the upper hinge is lead-shielded. So you can't use it as a backlight. Sorry, guys.
3.2. What kinds of batteries can/should I use?
The type of batteries you pick will seriously affect the running time of the computer. There are several different kinds of batteries. The first, which comes with the palmtop, is alkaline. A good pair of "industrial use" batteries will last a very long time. Plus, you have the advantage of being able to see the amount of power remaining via Setup, since alkalines drop in voltage as they are used. They generally are rated to be around 2000 mAh (milliamp hours). On the other hand, if you're willing to spend the extra money on a set of rechargeables, you'll probably be better off.
Nickel-Cadmium batteries (also called NiCd or nicad) have been around for a long time. NiCd capacity is usually around 600mAh. High capacity batteries are typically 850mAh. Panasonic high-capacity batteries are the highest power NiCds, at 1100mAh. NiCd batteries can be recharged inside the palmtop. They have a lower operating voltage than alkaline batteries (1.2V per cell instead of 1.5V) but provide a flatter voltage curve, which means that the voltage generally remains constant until close to the end of the life of the battery. This is good because you can use higher-drain devices without triggering a "Battery Low" warning, since the voltage remains high. However, it can be disastrous if you get the "Battery Low" warning, don't have a spare, and watch your batteries totally die a few minutes later.
NiCd batteries are subject to a memory effect, which means that charging them without fully discharging them first can damage them and lower your battery life.
Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries (NiMH) are the next step up. You can go with basic RadioShack NiMH if you want; these garden variety batteries usually run around 1200-1300mAh. NiMH batteries have the same basic characteristics of NiCd batteries, being rechargeable and having a flat voltage discharge curve. However, they do not suffer from the memory effect and also come in higher capacities, so they have advantages. Newer NiMH batteries can be charged in the palmtop, when it is set to the NiCd setting. The downside is that most NiMH batteries have a high self-discharge rate; a fully charged pair left sitting for a week will discharge themselves down to nothing. Some newer batteries, notably Times2 Tech's high-powered 1350mAh NiMH batteries, overcome this and have virtually no self-discharge, thus providing us the best of all rechargeables.
Lithium AA batteries seem to be the longest-lasting in the 200LX. They have a discharge curve similar to NiCd and NiMH batteries, but last longer than even alkalines. They are not rechargeable, and are generally quite expensive ($4.50 and up for a pair).
3.3. What's up with the voltage meter when I use a PC Card?
This one is a bit hard to explain. Perhaps you've seen a coffee dispenser with a gauge of sorts, coming off the same pipe as the spigot. When you open the spigot, the coffee drains out of both the gauge and the actual container. Well, the battery meter works on the same principle. PC cards with high current drain will really mess up the voltage reading, while an SRAM or flash card will be practically undetectable.
3.4. When should I change/recharge the batteries?
You should change alkalines as soon as possible after the computer starts saying "MAIN BATTERIES LOW". You'll still have plenty of operating time if you can't change them immediately, however. When you really need to start wrapping things up is when it starts insisting "MAIN BATTERIES VERY LOW". Beyond that point, the system will eventually shut down. If you're lucky, there will be enough power left to keep it out of backup mode.
There's two different stories on rechargeables. Since the voltage curve is so steep on them, you need to get on AC power to recharge the batteries as soon as you get a "MAIN BATTERIES LOW" message. When you are using NiCd batteries, it is best only to recharge when the computer starts complaining, as intermittent recharging can permanently shorten battery life. With NiMH batteries, you can be safe recharging whenever you like, as they don't suffer from NiCd "memory effects".
3.5. Are there any external "power packs" available?
None commercially, though hobbyists have made some. With creative use of battery holders and such, you can, for example, run the computer from D-cell batteries. My opinion is that if the standard available power is not enough for you, it's probably in a situation where you would generally be running off an AC adapter anyway. In addition, you can't weld with the onboard power supply, so you might want to watch what you're doing if you get into that kind of situation.
3.6. When does the palmtop detect a low main battery condition?
According to the SDK:
The main or system battery consists of two 1.5 volt batteries in series. These batteries may be either NiCad or Alkaline, and feed the HP palmtop power supply in normal operation. The low main battery warning condition is nominally 2.2 (2.3 for NiCad) Volts. When the level reaches about 1.8 volts, the power supply can no longer reliably operate off of the main batteries, and an NMI Low Power In terrupt triggers a transition to Backup mode.
Because it is desirable to avoid warmstart, there is an intermediate state betwe en the first low battery warnings and the time of the Low Power NMI that MAY be entered. This state, called Software Shutdown, will be entered when the battery voltage reaches 2.0 Volts (NiCad or Alkaline). In this state the unit will be shut down, and attempts to wake it up will result in a pair of hi pitched beeps. Recovery from this state will not result in a warmstart provided that System Memory still appears to have integrity.
It should be noted that Software Shutdown is not triggered by hardware, but is instead the result of periodic battery measurements that take place every 15 seconds or so. Abrupt power transitions such as loss of battery contact, or very heavy loads being applied may result in a direct transition from a low battery warning state to BackUp Mode without ever entering the Software Shutdown state.
4.1. What kind of adapter should I use?
If you are willing to spend $30-$35 on such an animal, then you should definitely go with Times2 Tech's tiny adapter. It's about as small as you can get, and its shape means it can be plugged in almost anywhere. It supplies 800ma of power (more than the genuine HP adapter!) which should be plenty for anything you do on the 200LX. The disadvantage is that it is not international-- it will only run on 120V, 60Hz AC current.
The next best thing is HP's adapter. It's light, portable, and is guaranteed to work with the palmtop in almost any country. There are cheaper solutions, but it's not necessarily a good idea to use them.
The onboard (that is, internal) power supply of the 200LX is very amicable. However, it is best to get an adapter as close to HP's specifications as you can. I have an adapter that is 9V, 300mA, and another that is 12V, 500mA, and both work fine. The optimal adapter is 12V, and at least 750mA. Make _absolutely sure_ that it puts out DC and has a negative (-) tip. We don't want any smoke, okay?
4.2. So what is all of this mA / V / tip stuff anyway?
mA stands for milliamps. An adapter's mA rating is how much current it can put out before it starts melting down (well, maybe not, but at least heating up a lot). You want a bare minimum of 300mA, if you aren't running any PC cards. If you are, I wouldn't use anything below HP's minimum spec of 750mA.
V stands for volts. The 200LX wants anywhere between 9V and 15V, ideally 12V. Too little will not be sufficient to power the unit. Too much could cause components inside to overheat and be destroyed.
The tip indicates the polarity of a barrel-style power connector. The tip is the bit that the needle on the palmtop sticks into. Since it's direct current, it _absolutely_ matters which way the power goes. The 200LX has a negative tip. With a positive-tipped adapter, you will likely destroy or severely damage the 200's onboard power supply. Don't forget. There's a diagram on the underside of the palmtop, below the connector, which shows the polarity, if you do forget.
4.3. What happens if I use an underrated supply?
Probably nothing. However, undervoltage and not having enough mA available does make the onboard power supply work a lot harder. Usually the upper-right area of the keyboard will start to get warm when this happens. Note that it will also get warm when charging batteries; this is not a sign of having an underrated supply. The other thing that will happen is the adapter itself will become very hot to the touch. If this happens, you really had better replace the adapter with a more capable one. (We're talking HOT here, not just warm. It's normal for an AC adapter to become warm when plugged in. If it burns your hand or starts smoking, though, that's a sign of a problem.)
4.4. I hear a buzzing noise from my unit. What is the deal?
Here we will get a little bit technical. The power supply which drives the screen also powers the PCMCIA socket. It buzzes in proportion to the amount of current it is delivering. Using a high-drain PC Card device such as a 28.8 modem will cause it to buzz louder, therefore, than it does when no PCMCIA card is installed. The loudness of this buzz is machine-specific. If it's too loud, you might want to have it checked out by HP or Times2 Tech. It's just not right for that small of a power supply to be making that much noise.
5. Onboard Power Supply Considerations
(Note: The rest of this FAQ is an answer. Deal with it. :)
The power supply on the 200LX is amazingly hardy. It can handle just about any input voltage, and produces a wide variety of output voltages. It can run an entire computer, and an expansion card to boot. All in a space that could easily be covered by a single quarter (sorry to break the news, but I'm in the U.S. Don't hate me for it.. :) Anyway, it's tough to destroy, but you don't want to try. Don't run a high-powered modem while plugged into a cheap adapter. Don't try to run a Type III hard drive on high-drain batteries. The power supply is your friend. Don't melt it.
6. PC Card Considerations
Many people wonder about the computer shutting down if a high-speed modem or another high-drain card is inserted while the machine is on. The answer is simple. Remember the coffee-pot analogy mentioned earlier? A high-drain card will bring the voltage meter down low enough to trigger a very low battery shutdown. If you shut the machine off before inserting the card, likely it will all power up in such a manner that it won't trigger a shutdown. If you can hot-swap a PC card, however, than by all means do. If the computer doesn't mind card-swapping, then it is a lot easier to do routine tasks like switching a modem out for a flash card. If you are unsure of whether your machine minds hot-swapping of a particular card, turn the palmtop on and stick it in. If there aren't any abnormalities, then you can feel safe doing it all the time. I have heard that 33.6Kbps modems often shut the machine down all the way to Backup Mode, so you'll want to make sure anything you're working on is saved to the RAM or flash disk before you start to experiment.
7. Acknowledgments
I would like to thank David Sargeant, Bill Childers, Davis Chapel, and Mack Baggette for the palmtop I'm typing this on.
Thanks again to David Sargeant for 33.6 modem and mA information and for fleshing out this FAQ where necessary, and to Davis for pointing out that I never mentioned some important battery voltages.
Thanks to what HP used to be before Hewlett died, we have this wonderful machine to gripe about when dealing with high-drain PC cards!

Facts About Submission (love) In Marriage

Many folks seem confused about the subject of submission. Hopefully, this article will bring to light some needed wisdom and understanding concerning this issue and put to rest the culturally accepted folklore we hear about everyday in society about submission. By the way, this is not my wisdom, it comes from God, and I am just His messenger.
Fact 1
Scripture says that the husband ought to (love) submit to his wife. What for? Why can't a husband just boss his wife around and treat her like a doormat? Why can't he demand that she do things for him? Because that is not acceptable behavior on how a Christian husband is supposed to love his wife.
For the Christian man, there is a proper way to love his wife, and that is not being demanding, ruling, abusive, controlling, or bossy. A husband's love is submission to his wife. So then I guess it works both ways. This is the kind of submission God is talking about because it is the same way Jesus Christ submitted to the Church.
Husbands love your wives, just as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her. Ephesians 5:25
Jesus Christ GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR THE CHURCH! What church? We are the Church! Jesus died for us. That is how a Christian husband is to love his wife. He is to love her by GIVING HIMSELF UP FOR HER. He doesn't literally die like Jesus Christ did, but he does make her well-being of prime importance in his life.
Fact 2
Submitting to your Christian husband does not mean you cannot think for yourself, or have your own opinions, thoughts, and ideas. On the contrary, it means you are free within yourself to respect, honor and love the man you married. It means you love God and trust your husband.
Many women feel threatened by a man because they do not feel good about themselves or because they were abused in the past and now they perceive all men to be abusive. Negative beliefs about submission tend to grow and grow and grow, until soon enough the majority thinks a woman who submits must be a back woods hillbilly. This is what I call a web of total deceit. Folks are deceived into believing what they hear or what they have been conditioned to know.
Fact 3
A wife does not have to submit to an abusive husband. If a man is abusing his wife in any way, shape or form, then the scripture clearly does not apply. Did Jesus abuse the Church? No! A Christian man should try and be as much like Christ as he can be. If he is abusing his wife, he ought to rethink his position as a Christian and come to terms with why he might be treating his wife improperly.
We are human and make mistakes. To err is to be human, folks. And everything in marriage is not going to fit into its nice little comfort zone all the time. Christian couples fight and yell and slam doors. This is not the kind of abuse I am referring to. This is normal marriage stuff that usually ends with repentance and forgiveness. If abuse continues in the relationship, that is what I am talking about.
Fact 4
Some couples already submit to each other and don't even know it! Submission is another way to compromise oneself for the other. Submission is cooperation. Submission is giving way to something we want for something they want.
My friend said to me the other day about how much she liked the book I wrote called, Journey on the Roads Less Traveled. She went on to tell me that she could never submit to her husband. You know what I told her? I said, really? That is odd because I see you submitting to your husband every time we are together!
She had to think about if for a minute and she agreed with me. They have a great relationship. She is very independent minded by the way, but their relationship just kind of flows together as one unit because they are always giving in to one another, and they don't even know it! When you don't have to think about submitting, but just do it, that is a good relationship.
So, why didn't my friend know that she already submits to her husband? Because her husband is not demanding, controlling, ruling, or abusive with her, he just loves her the best way he can through his own love for God!
Fact 5
Submission is a piece of cake when you trust in God. Submission takes one thing, and that is great humbleness. Humbleness comes from God. We learn to be selfish by the way we were raised, and what made an impact in our life while growing up. We either learn to remain selfish or we learn to grow out from that negative attitude, and learn to be free with who we are with others.
For instance, if I am not free to be me, then I cannot give any of myself away. If I am free with who I am, I am free to love others with the love that never asks for anything in return.
Selfish people are too needy to love others properly. This is one of the major problems in marriage. Only when we give ourselves up like Christ gave himself up for the Church, can we love others properly.
Why do people humble themselves? Because they trust in God! Why do people trust in God? Because they are humble!
Fact 6
The best marriages are mutually submissive ones. Marriage is all about give and take, negotiation, and compromise. Think about your life with your spouse. In what ways do you compromise and negotiate with your spouse? What would happen if you rebelled over these issues? What happens when you only think about yourself?
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy, and good fruit, impartial and sincere. James 3:13-17

Quantifying the market opportunity for a new product or service is central to many client decisions. Health Advances uses a variety of primary market research techniques in conjunction with efficient secondary research provides the fact-based foundation and strategic context for our clients.
Translating that fact base into a dynamic financial model to forecast revenues for new products distinguishes Health Advances from other firms. We combine a rigorous and insightful assessment of a product's market potential by market segment with a deep understanding of pricing and reimbursement and penetration dynamics, to develop risk-adjusted NPV analyses (rNPV). In an industry where development risk is high, factoring in probabilities of success at each major juncture is a more accurate method of forecasting than applying a single, arbitrarily high discount rate regardless of the stage of development. Many studies ground projections in reality by benchmarking analogous products' historic penetration rates. Scenario planning enables companies to fully and accurately anticipate risks associated with new product development and adopt their plans.

Yes, Trump Did Condemn Radical Islamic Terrorism in Speech to Arab Muslims (quotes/transcript/video)
President Trump's speech before the Arab Islamic American Summit in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Sunday did specifically condemn what he has before called "radical Islamic terrorism," despite what we have heard from reporters and pundits for days.

I love Sailor Moon. The show was amazing. I also watched Inuyasha and Full Metal Alchemist. My son had the figures and it came with kittens to put inside the body cavity. We also watched the Pokemon and Yugioh shows too.
While I loved the idea of Sailor Moon, the character of Sailor Moon was too boy crazy and self absorbed. :) I always saw myself as Sailor Jupiter!

Animes are in Japanese (typically) but they have subtitles or you can opt for the English version.
And they are more adult than Disney :)
Thanks for stopping by.

SMU to offer course on politics, law & economics
Britain's Oxford University offers the prestigious PPE - its signature politics, philosophy and economics undergraduate course.
Its graduates have gone on to become writers, journalists and politicians, including British Prime Minister David Cameron and novelist Vikram Seth.
From August this year, the Singapore Management University (SMU) will offer its undergraduates PLE - politics, law and economics.
In an exclusive interview, SMU provost Lily Kong told The Straits Times how the PLE course is aimed at giving students a broad understanding of how the world works and will prepare them for a range of careers.
The 45 students selected for the course will take all three subjects in the first year, before specialising in one of four areas - global studies, distribution and justice, public policy and governance, or choice and behaviour - from year two.
Students will also be required to go on a 10-week internship where they will work on a project to find solutions to a real-world problem.
Another new course that will be offered to SMU students from August will be entrepreneurship as a major. Among the modules offered are social entrepreneurship, design thinking and innovation, and technological entrepreneurship.
The university, which is redeveloping parts of its city campus, will also make space available to incubate student start-ups.
"SMU's PLE aims to prepare future leaders and thinkers with a deep understanding of global political and economic transformations and the legal frameworks and contexts within which such changes take place," said Professor Kong.
"Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the programme, graduates would be well-equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle multi-faceted jobs in their chosen fields of public service, non-government organisations or industry.
"They could choose from a wide range of jobs, including careers in journalism, diplomatic service, foreign affairs, public service, consulting and research."
She noted that several companies have already indicated their interest to offer internships to the students on the course. This includes the Economic Development Board as well as consultancies such as Bain and Company and Accenture.
Prof Kong also explained why SMU is making the bold move to offer entrepreneurship as a major.
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) offers it as a minor subject, while the National University of Singapore offers technopreneurship as a minor subject and runs a special programme at its overseas colleges to nurture entrepreneurs.
Prof Kong said it was yet another pathway for students who may be interested in starting businesses or social enterprises.
"But the major is also meant for students who want to develop the entrepreneurial mindset, who can seize opportunities, innovate and create value for the companies that they will go on to work for," she said.
Prof Kong said the new courses are meant to offer more pathways to students, to build both depth and breadth.
She noted that the fast-changing world ahead requires graduates who can become skilled specialists as well as those who are "broadly prepared to take on a lifetime of different careers".
"Thus, it is important that we prepare students who are able to deep dive and acquire specific expertise and skillsets in established domains, and at the same time, prepare students to have a broad understanding of how the world works, so as to have the flexibility and versatility to switch careers."
One parent keen on the PLE course for his son and daughter is business manager Terence Wong.
The 48-year-old business graduate from NTU said: "The world changes so fast that much of what you learn today will be obsolete in a few years. But what will never become obsolete are skills like the ability to process information, to look at problems from different perspectives and find solutions to them, and adaptability and flexibility.
"These are the things that I want my children to master and I feel a broad-based course like the PLE will be able to nurture such skills and attributes in them."

Last week, my husband and I hosted multiple nephews and nieces visiting from St. Louis. It was decadent chaos with girls playing trumpets in my old ballet outfits, boys hiding Star Wars characters in my pantry (which, I was told, doubled as toy "jail"), endless chocolate milk flying out of cups, and an Iron Man helmet decorating my trash can. They played hours of video games, but when their eyes eventually became bleary, I took them out on the town (besides, it was nice having someone else clean up the chocolate milk for a change!).
If you have kids, or will soon receive young visitors, you might like to check out some of my favorite kid-friendly places to go in Columbia:
Columbia Public Library – There were several free activities scheduled, but we went to a special Magic Show that was advertised last minute in the Columbia Daily Tribune. The two 10-year-olds were talking about the dove that flew out of a "burning" pan for days afterwards.
Hands on Ceramics Art Studio – Three of the kids wanted to paint, so I took them to this relatively new spot close to my home. They each picked out an animal which they could brush with acrylics and take home after lunch, and a bowl which they glazed to make dishwasher safe (I will pick those up in a week). The cost was not cheap, but my "Door Mail" coupon did save me the studio fee.
Forum Movie Theatre – At $1 per child, the "Kids Summer Movie" morning was a hit with everyone, including my wallet. A new movie is offered each week, but please note – the only showing is at 10am. We saw Zookeeper, which made everyone giggle … what's not to like about animals and poo??
TRYPS – Located at Columbia Mall, kids can make a scene at this professional children's theatre through workshops, camps or various plays and musicals. Our 13-year-old teen signed up for a week long "Tangled" camp. Each night at dinner, he loved showing us the stage fighting moves he had learned that day, and we all trooped over to see his mini play on Friday afternoon.
My list of potential activities was quite long, so we have a few places to check out next time the kids come visit:
- Perche Creek Golf Club for batting cages, mini golf and go karts
- Walk About Acres, a small farm featuring honey bees and assorted other animals
- Hike Rock Bridge State Park
- Candy Factory (and see if treats are being made in factory viewing room)

Toronto's One Zone Best In World?
The eminent design futurist Buckminster Fuller once argued that modern buildings were so many fancy nozzles on the really important stuff of the city: the engineered services that are hidden below ground. While architects may take issue with being dismissed as mere stylists, Toronto just added another invisible technology to Fuller's modern city. Today, a city is not a world contender unless it offers a ubiquitous, high-speed Internet service. Now Toronto has one.
The international press is alive this week with news about Toronto Hydro's "Zone One" service. What has caught the attention of the world's geek community? It turns out that Toronto Hydro has unleashed a world-beating wireless system that boasts the fastest speeds of any competitive cities. Wi-Fi Technology writes:
Testing was conducted in mid-December by Novarum Inc., an independent consulting firm offering comprehensive broadband wireless advisory, analysis and testing services. Novarum is developing the first standardized benchmarks for overall wireless network performance. All of the North American wireless mesh networks were tested from a user perspective with industry-standard tools and methodology in Q3 and Q4 of 2006.
Forget about Toronto's lack-luster promotional advertising, this is big news for the city and provides a competitive difference to businesses and cultural producers here. In the 21st Century, access to information is power. In that way Toronto Hydro's decision to give us this access is a further catalyst to the city's renaissance. It also reminds us that a city is not only its buildings - sorry AGO and ROM, we love you anyway. The foundation of a successful city is often the stuff hidden below grade or the invisible mesh of a wireless network. Ask Fuller.
Zone One covers this six square mile section of the city's core.

I'm really not an outdoorsy girl. So when my brother insisted that I join him on an 11km trek up Mount Kranteshwar in Champawat, Uttarakhand, I was terrified. I made every excuse I could think of – I'll slow you down, I'll never manage, I have work to do, it'll be nicer for you without me – but to no avail. My tall, fit, athletic brother convinced my much-less-so self that coming all the way to Uttarakhand was incomplete without a trek. Having promised to help me through it, he persuaded me to give it a shot, and I (against my better judgement) agreed.
About 15 minutes into our trek, we stopped at a little settlement where we met some friends of our guide's. They chatted with us for a little while, asking about where we were from, how long we'd be there etc etc. Then, I was introduced to Jackie; a stunning mountain Bhutia.
I introduced myself. He was friendly. He wagged his tail, shook my hand and let me cuddle him, quite willingly. As we were leaving to get back to our trek, I asked him "Are you coming with us?"
Something told Jackie than I needed some help. Not only did he come with us, he also didn't leave my side the whole time. He'd run ahead, but stop and wait for me to catch up. He stopped when I stopped, sitting right next to me, head or paw on my knee as if to assure me that I could do it. However irrational it sounds, I'm convinced that I wouldn't have made it to the spectacular view at the top of Mount Kranteshwar without my new friend.
On our way down, Jackie refused to enter the premises of the resort we were staying in. Perhaps it was another dog's territory. He sat just outside the entrance, watched me walk away and I suddenly felt tearful. I ran back to him, gave him a hug and said thank you, at which he licked my nose and happily trotted away.
I will probably never see Jackie again; an unexpected friend in the most unlikely of places. But then, aren't those the best kind?
Champawat, Uttarakhand, India, May 2016.

Execution of Duplicate Predicates
Where there is more than one rule whose canonical predicate matches an assertion, the Aspen SCM Expert System will start by executing the rule which appears first in $PRED. $PRED contains a list of all predicates in their canonical form. This list is built either when you start running a rule (if RULES(LINK,1) = YES) or by executing the command LINK. It processes the entries in RULES one at a time and converts the predicate conclusions into canonical form.
Thus the first rule to be tried will be that whose rule set appears first in RULES. If there is more than one such rule in the rule set, they will be tried in the order in which they appear in that rule set.
If the first rule is proved and it resolves TRUE in the calling procedure, the interpreter then continues in the calling procedure. But if the first rule does not end TRUE or if it ends TRUE but resolves FALSE in the calling procedure (because arguments have been changed), the interpreter then tries the next rule whose predicate matches the assertion. If this also fails, it then tries the third rule which matches the assertion; and so on. Only when all possible rules have been tried and failed does the interpreter regard the assertion in the calling procedure as FALSE and proceed accordingly.
Mistakes Interpreted as Predicates
One unfortunate consequence of Aspen SCM Expert System's approach to tokenising is that if, by mistake, you include a blank where one is prohibited, the interpreter may regard the resulting token as a predicate which it attempts to prove. Thus the statement (a real example)
with a blank after the comma in the arguments to STRFMT is interpreted as asserting the predicate "?STRCOPY" "=" "STRFMT(?NCOPY," "F4.3)", where each item within a pair of double quotes is a separate token (the double quotes are just to demonstrate the tokens and are not part of the tokens).
As it cannot find such a predicate, it asserts other predicates with the same number of tokens (in this case predicate verb + three tokens) and branches to the rule which could prove the predicate. If you are fortunate, an error will result fairly quickly, bringing execution to a halt; if you are not, the interpreter will get stuck in a loop and you will be none the wiser as to where it was when it hung.
Another unfortunate misinterpretation of a statement occurs with character strings which are blank. Consider the statement (another real example)
where MPLXUVAR is a character array. Then if ?USEMPLX happens to be blank this statement is interpreted as the predicate "MPLXUVAR(?ORDR,:VAR)" "=". As this predicate does not exist, the interpreter branches to the first predicate with two tokens (i.e. predicate verb + one argument) and executes it in an attempt to prove what the purported predicate. Needless to say, a crash usually ensues.
Yet another misinterpretation occurs where a mistake has been made in the name of a set or table to which a value is being assigned. Thus
is interpreted as a predicate if the table LPRUNOUT does not exist.
Such problems are trapped by setting the "Error on Unknown" flag CNTLE(EOU,1) = YES; see section 2.d.

(Dotti sleeveless shirt - F21 shorts - Topshop suede pumps - Alexander Wang Rocco)
Still in disbelief. I've casually stalked this bag ever since it first came out so many months ago. Never really entertained the notion of owning it since 1) the price and 2) silly shipping restrictions on so many websites (umm apparently haircalf items can't leave the US even though it was imported from China in the first place? Yeah okay...) Couldn't believe my eyes when I discovered it amongst ForwardForward's sale last week for half price. Free shipping and no country restrictions? The rest kinda went by in a blur and I found myself on the other side of the checkout process.

To be a journalist in Colombia, in a city like Medellín, is not easy -- even less so if you cover issues related to narcotrafficking.
Despite efforts by the authorities to control outbreaks of violence linked to drug trafficking, especially in the city's poorest neighborhoods, the situation isn't improving. According to the prosecutor's office, Medellín has the highest homicide rate in the country and one of the worst in Latin America.
The origin of the violence - which includes fighting in the streets with long-range weapons, --and has left hundreds dead -- is that there is currently no one kingpin who dominates the territory. Since the 2008 extradition to the United States of Diego Fernando Murillo, alias "Don Berna" -- a former paramilitary member and narcotrafficker who led the criminal organization known as the "Office of Envigado" -- many have wanted to take his place, sparking a war between factions.
Of course, controlling a city like Medellín requires not only having power in the underworld, but also in the important spheres of society. Thus these characters have politicians, businessmen and members of the security forces, especially the police, on their "payroll."
Reporting on the daily events that are products of this war, such as fighting or deaths, does not bring so many problems. But something else happens when journalists dare to delve into the causes and consequences of these events. The first thing that happens is lack of cooperation on the part of some local authorities, who are worried about keeping up an image that is very far from reality. Reporting on these events in detail is bothersome to them, and you become persona non grata.
The other, more delicate problem is when the "warlords" feel themselves affected, and that is when the messages, warning phone calls, threats, and even attacks, begin.
On June 11, 2011, I saw my life and everything that I had constructed until that moment fall apart. That was the day my article about alliances between drug traffickers was published. I titled it "¿Un nuevo capo en Medellín?" ("New chief in Medellín?"), and from that moment on I began receiving calls from my sources who warned me that I was in danger.
On May 18, I had published another article, "Y ahora las polibandas," ("And now the 'polibandas'") in which I revealed links between drug traffickers and some members of the police, a connection known as "polibandas." A month later, on June 19, it was revealed that three policemen had been fired and that an investigation was underway involving another 120. The people that had given me information warned me that there was discord due to the article and its consequences.
On June 22, a close source received a phone call that had a message for me: "Tell your friend the journalist Mary Luz to stop publishing stupid things, or does she want to win the jackpot?" They were no longer only warnings, they had transformed into threats. The authorities' investigations showed that the author of these threats was the drug trafficker known as "Mi Sangre" ("My Blood" ), of whom I had written in the article "A new chief in Medellín?" He also asked the newspaper to publish a correction, and when management refused, he said he would sue.
The newspaper received various phone calls from people trying to find out my whereabouts, the warnings continued, and the recommendation was to leave the country, even though I had been granted a full-time police escort. According to the Medellín police chief, anyone could take advantage of the situation to hurt me, as the articles I had written in past year had caused discomfort in many sectors.
On August 10, I heeded the recommendation and with the help of various international press freedom organizations, among them CPJ, I left the country. How long will I be gone? I don't know. Where will I go? I don't know that either -- just as I don't know what will happen from here on out with my professional life, nor what to say of the family that stayed in Medellín and the loneliness that is my only companion.
The only things that are always with me are uncertainty - and the conviction that I did the right thing. If it was worth it or not is another question, but I have no doubt that I would do it again because it is my job. I am a journalist and people have a right to know what is happening.Reporting on drug traffickers, guerrillas and paramilitaries has been 14 years of my professional life. Of course there have been other threats, and even a week-long kidnapping in the hands of the FARC, but in those days you know who to talk to. That is no longer the case, and the people who are pursuing me have nothing to lose. That is why now it is different and although some think this is cowardice, if they kill me I cannot continue to be a journalist. At least for now I have the hope that someday I will be one again.

In order to describe the methods in which airfares can be purchased at the least expensive prices possible, I have decided to clarify almost everything in three measures. Unless you reside in or close to a single of these cities you will also have to make a domestic flight inside the USA to meet the flights from USA to Australia. It is situated Northeast (inside the city) and it really is a thriving, contemporary airport that has flights arriving and departing from destinations around the globe. To be sincere, discovering cheap flights is horses for course and they do exist if you look for them. The newer Boeings and Airbuses deployed on trans-Atlantic flights are comfortable adequate.
This will certainly be the case if you stop in European city for a lot more than 24 hours (=stopover) and you will need to have to spend excess baggage fee simply because most flights in Europe let only 20kg checked-in baggage per passenger at no price. Given that 2009 a typical bus service has been available at Newquay Airport for flights to Newquay from London Gatwick Airport, before this you'd have to make your own arrangements – a bti of a shock to numerous folks as they assumed any airport would be well serviced!
I make use of laptop games, it is the ideal i have discovered to waste time on flights. AirSouthwest withdrew all flights and Flybe stepped in to offer a broader service. We have come a lengthy way considering that the days when carbonated beverages routinely exploded on flights. Traveling numerous hours on international or overseas flights can be tiring and boring. In the past I have played sheepshead, hearts, and blackjack with my household members on lengthy overseas flights. Getting able to run your laptop for the complete 13 hour duration on flights from USA to Australia is a bonus.
If you do discover some inexpensive flights to Portugal and venture to this lovely nation – have a great holiday! Place just, food is an crucial distraction, particularly on lengthy-haul flights exactly where the guarantee of standard meals goes a extended way towards breaking the monotony. This was a charter from Hawaii to Chicago soon after the reserve crew deadheaded out to Hawaii. These flights need to have not be boring, although, as extended as you plan distinct activities to occupy your time. Due to the extended distance (assumption!), direct flights from Australia fly the Sydney to Dallas direct route, and return flights are direct into Brisbane (Dallas to Brisbane).
If one particular enjoys writing, you will definitely have enough time on lengthy flights to draft articles for Hubpages or any other site you decide on. Your choice then is to commute." On the day of your trip (or the day just before for early departures), you want to travel to the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and travel space-offered to Chicago so that you can originate your trip there. You can undoubtedly take packets of sealed meals on most flights eg packets of crisps. In my earlier piece, Clearing the Skies," I wrote about the 17 various locations in Canada that accepted international flights and about Operation Yellow Ribbon (OYR) Now I will construct on that introduction by providing you a clearer view of what happened the morning of September 11, 2001 in Canada.

New Look | Playing with Textures: Grey Ribbed Knit Jumper
When it comes to choosing clothes during the winter months, I find myself sitting firmly in the real of plain and boring that is: a) monochrome and b) sweatshirts. Now, don't get me wrong - I am all for style but I refuse to sacrifice my warmth and cosy-ness for it and I can't be the only one.
Which is where my latest fashion friend of textured jumpers, blazers and the like comes in. I cannot tell you just how much of a life saver Topshop's Black Eyelash Jumper from A/W13 has been in my wardrobe, or my Oversized Black Longline Textured Blazer by George, or my three pairs shiny black disco-pant style leggings paired with pretty much anything (read: that covers my derriere).
Playing with textures is a great way for me to keep the easy, warm, monochrome style I love without compromising in style. And this is the newest addition to my collection - a happy accident of a wrong order - this Grey Ribbed Knit Jumper by New Look.
How do you wear your texture?

♡ makeup revolution ultra contour palette review ♡June 24, 2017
Drugstore makeup is so underrated sometimes. It's where we all start but can forget about. I have recently been sticking to the occasional high end treat and not really buying drugstore makeup but I was sucked into the Superdrug website and found this gem of a product.
I haven't done a review on a drugstore product but I should. They're such amazing jems in the drugstore no one talks about (wow - future post idea) I feel like this deserves it. I just love new makeup generally and I'm excited to branch out on new brands I've never tried
I'd rate this palette 10/10 because it's just amazing, there isn't a fault about it and I love it. The packaging for it is sleek, black and shiny with rose gold writing as the logo which is beautiful, it has a large mirror I really do like it! I love everything about the size, the shape and feels really good quality!
The price is one of the best things about this, for the the kit with the 8 powders it cost £8; essentially £1 per pan! I was blown away with this because it's so amazing, it's so affordable for beauty on a budget or just finding a drugstore jem, generally the whole of makeup revolution is amazing I haven't tried a bad product from then.
Sadly the shades don't have names but going from left to right, starting with the powdery
shades 1 - very light beige with peach undertones
2 - light yellow
3 - very light peach with satin glowy finish
4 - bright white shimmery baked highlighter shade
5 - medium warm brown
6 - cool toned medium brown
7 - slightly darker medium brown
8 - cool toned bronzy baked highlighter with satin finish
This palette is so usable, affordable perfect for pale skin and such amazing quality, I don't think you can get better than it really I would recommend this to everyone! If you want to take one thing from my blog - it's definitely everyone needs this palette in their lives
