Taking your troop on a camping trip is a big decision. There are many questions that you need to answer before you take the plunge.
- Should you take your girls alone as a troop or should you go to your Council's big camporee?
- How many days should you go?
- Should you allow parents to come along?
- Who pays for the trip? Parents or cookie money or both?
- What supplies does the troop purchase for each girl?
- What activities should we do outdoors as well as indoors?
- What badges can we earn?
- What food should we bring?
- What meals should we make?
Yes, the list seems endless.

The younger you take your girls, the more they can help with the decisions as they get older, since they will have had experience. My troop has camped twice since becoming Cadettes and we are planning on a third trip this spring. After attending two Council sponsored camping events, the troop decided to go it alone. They had more fun when it was just the five of them than when there were activities planned for girls of all levels.
If you are going out for the first time, here are some things you can buy for the troop so each girl has them in her backpack or drawstring bag (which are cheap enough that you can provide them for each girl).
What Else Do the Girls Need to Have?
Water bottles are a must, and if your girls are like my children, you have acquired quite a variety over the years. This they can bring on their own-no need to purchase one.
Bug repellent and sunscreen are two other must haves. There are many brands and some girls may have skin sensitivities, so it is best that this item be packed by parents as well.
Visors or baseball caps are also necessary to protect girls from the sun.
Ponchos can be bought in bulk by the troop and used in case it rains.
12 Pack of Ponchos Available on Amazon
Sleeping bags and overnight bags to carry everything to the campsite are also items your girls need to bring from home.
What are your essential packing items for your camping trip?

Ahead of facing Genoa, Cesena Coach Mario Beretta reflects on his players' nerves and confirms that future Grifone Steve Von Bergen won't be playing.
The bottom of the table Cavallucci Marini go into Week 32's midweek test at the Luigi Ferraris with the Grifoni in sight as the first team to catch in the fight for survival, as Alberto Malesani's side currently occupy 17th place.
However, that three-place gap to the Rossoblu is matched with a 15-point deficit and, without a win in 13 League games, Coach Beretta is aware of the task that lies ahead in trying to get a positive result on Wednesday.
"It will be tough but we have to play as freely as we have in these last few games, for sure," he told the gathered Press on Tuesday.
"Our goal is always to look for that victory for Cesena that has been missing for too long. Genoa is a team that has disappointed, they have important players, but are involved in the fight for survival."
Beretta was asked about his players' mindset going into the game and if they were nervous.
"I do not like to use the phrase that we fear Genoa, but they are a team with great players, so we need to play carefully, because the Ferraris is never easy to play at.
"I'm not ashamed to say that we fear an opponent, fear can be a stimulus to maintain vigilance."
Beretta also confirmed a particular piece of team news ahead of the trip to Marassi, that defender Von Bergen would not be playing.
The Swiss centre-back confirmed a couple of days before the weekend's game with Bologna that he had in fact agreed to join Genoa in the summer on a Bosman, but his absence against his future employers tomorrow, says Beretta, is not related to this.
"Steve has a muscle strain and will not be summoned considering that in a few days we will have another game.
"If he was in good condition then I would have played him no problem, because he is a man and a serious professional and I am convinced that he will give his all for Cesena until the end of the season, as indeed he did last Saturday against Bologna.
"The fact that he revealed his future destination is evidence only that he does not want to hide behind anything. In Italy, similar behaviour is still abnormal."

Tea Party candidate Curt Clawson won the Republican primary in the special election seat to replace Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., who resigned after pleading guilty for cocaine possession, a victory that the Tea Party Express is claiming as "the movement's first victory of 2014."
Clawson received 46 percent of the vote, according to Naples News. "The results tonight were clear, Curt Clawson's Tea Party message of economic growth and fiscal responsibility resonated with the voters of Southwest Florida," said political strategist Sal Russo of the Tea Party Express, which was one of the first Tea Party groups to support Clawson.
"It was exactly that kind of platform that fueled Republican victories in 2010 and 2012, and we're starting 2014 with another decisive victory here tonight. Curt's success sends a clear message to candidates across the country: you win elections by campaigning in bold colors, not pale pastels, as President Reagan once famously said."
The race divided national Tea Party icons, though, as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., backed Clawson while former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed Florida state Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, who received about 16 percent of the vote.
Clawson, a former CEO who "put at least $3.4 million into his campaign" according to Politico, also received the endorsement of Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.
Tea Party Express co-founder Amy Kremer resigned last week as chairman of the group, just as the organization planned to campaign in Florida on Clawson's behalf, saying that she preferred to focus on Matt Bevin's challenge to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
"I've wanted to move in a different direction for awhile, but also wanted to make sure that any change I make was also a positive change for the conservative movement," Kremer wrote in a Facebook post.

Niko Hovinen spoke on the rumors he was heading to Finland after the Trenton Titans shootout loss.
"I know what you're going to ask me," he said as he stepped into the press room.
With the report swirling that he was leaving for Finland, and the fact that Eric Swanick was signed to backup Scott Wedgewood for a night, the rumors appeared to be true.
(Pictured: Niko Hovinen in warmups from early in the season, photo by Matt Bernot)
The Trenton Titans began the 2012-13 season with a 3-1 victory over the Greenville Road Warriors, Friday night in Trenton.
Flyers goaltending prospect Niko Hovinen made his North American professional debut and the 6'7" Finnish monster needed his wide shoulders to carry the team.
On July 30, 2012 the Trenton Titans announced that they will once again be affiliated with Philadelphia Flyers and Adirondak Phantoms.
Last season, three players with NHL deals played for the Trenton Titans as forward Luke Pither, defenseman Tyler Hostetter and goaltender Johan Backlund all donned Titans red and black at some point during the season. Also playing for the Titans was Brad Phillips who was drafted by the Flyers in 2007 in the seventh round.
Trenton Titans Fall to Gwinnett 4-2
On Sunday October, 23, the Trenton Titans, ECHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers hosted the Cincinnati Cyclones at Sun National Bank Center in Trenton.
Both teams had some quality scoring chances in the first period, with ten shots apiece. An early goal by Joe Devin and some great saves by goalie Chet Pickard of the Cyclones sent the Titans into the first intermission trailing, 1-0.

What does order of saint benedict mean?
Definitions for order of saint benedict
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word order of saint benedict.
Princeton's WordNet
Benedictine order, order of Saint Benedict(noun)
a Roman Catholic monastic order founded in the 6th century; noted for liturgical worship and for scholarly activities
Order of Saint Benedict
The Order of Saint Benedict is a Roman Catholic religious order of independent monastic communities that observe the Rule of Saint Benedict. Within the order, each individual community maintains its own autonomy, while the organization as a whole exists to represent their mutual interests. Today the terms "Order of Saint Benedict" and "Benedictine Order" are also used frequently to refer to the total of the independent Benedictine abbeys, thereby giving the wrong impression of a "generalate" or "motherhouse" with jurisdiction over dependent communities. The Benedictine Confederation, which was established in 1883 by Pope Leo XIII in his brief Summum semper, is the international governing body of the order, headed by the Abbot Primate. Members of the order generally use the initials O.S.B. after their name.

In just a few years, Aiea will have a new rail station. The city purchased the property in 2012. It's located on Kamehameha Highway near Kaonohi Street.
The building is now vacant and has become an eyesore. One business believes it's costing them customers.
"It doesn't look good at all if it's just full of scribbles and graffiti all over the place. The wall is like that, the building is like that," said Steve Ahmed of Car Stereo Express. "Nobody gonna come to a store surrounded with graffiti. It's gonna make us look like a rundown neighborhood."
Officials say painting over the graffiti just wasn't working. But now, they're taking a more creative approach. On Saturday, dozens of volunteers began painting a mural.
"What we find out is that if we're able to invest in the community and get young people involved, and actually do a mural like this, there tends to be a respect that taggers will move on. And so we're hoping that not only will we bring something beautiful to the community, but it will also be beneficial to the taxpayers because we won't keep painting and painting over graffiti," said Dan Grabauskas, Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) executive director.
Students from Radford and Waipahu High Schools, along with kids from the Boys & Girls Club, joined in the fun. They're aiming to make a difference in their community.
"If you just have regular graffiti, it invites more criminal activity. When you paint something beautiful, even those who want to tag are artists themselves. And they see this as art and they respect it and they leave it alone," said Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell.
Officials say graffiti has also been a problem at other properties purchased by the city. One example is the old Dillingham Cafe in Kalihi.
Grabauskas say the mural in Aiea is pilot project. If it works, he hopes to replicate it at other properties along the rail line.
As for the rail project, officials say they are on schedule and on budget. The first 10 miles will be up and running for passengers in 2017. In 2019, passengers will be able to ride the full 20-mile stretch of rail.
According to officials, the building in Aiea will eventually be demolished. But in the meantime, they hope the mural will help beautify the community and keep the vandals away.

Calling everyone who likes a good glass of beer: Pack your duffel bag and your notebook for the first-ever craft beer tasting tour by schooner!
This October, under the sails of the 92-foot sailing ship Maple Leaf, you can cruise the Gulf Islands, B.C., on an excursion that includes sampling 50 of the area's top microbrews.
Add to that the expertise of renowned brewing historian Greg Evans, a lot of beautiful scenery, and island hopping. You get a "tasting" tour (not a booze cruise).
You also get gourmet food prepared with beer, and paired with just the right brew. Beer pairing? You bet. Like wine, beer comes in a variety of colours and flavors, from Swan's crisp Arctic Ale to the richness of a chocolate porter. And speaking of chocolates – how about beer and chocolate truffles?
The trip, operated by veteran Canadian tour operator Maple Leaf Adventures, is in its third season. B.C. is a hotbed of excellent beers, and the Gulf Islands is a very protected waterway for smooth cruising. In October, weather is good and the islands' green forests are tinged with golden maple leaves and red arbutus berries.
In addition to exclusive behind-the-scenes tours and one-on-one tastings with local brewmasters, there's more. Maple Leaf Adventures is renowned for their exceptional nature cruises, so guests on this tour will get to visit off-the-beaten-track wildlife hotspots (think porpoises, sea lions, seabirds) and have plenty of shore walks, in addition to tastings.
Interestingly, on previous trips, almost half of the guests were women. Proving once again that beer drinking is not just a man's game!
Oct. 22-27, C$2215 (approx US $1900)
5 nights, 6 days
Includes all accommodation, meals, tastings, materials, and use of gear on board including kayaks.
The company's trips are listed as a Frommer's Canada "Best Travel Experience".
For information, contact Maple Leaf Adventures at 1-888-599-5323 or www.MapleLeafAdventures.com

Thank you for renting us your comfortable unit so close to the beach and restaurants. We would recommend this p[lace to our family and friends and would love to return in the future.
Thanks again!
This is our second time renting this property, again was a great experience. The owners are very thoughtful and everything was perfect, except our airline, that cancel the first flight and we got there a day later and then, delayed our second flight, but the owners were so great that allowed us to have a late check-out. Thanks again.
Jan & Tom are the best! Place was very clean and accommodating. It is very nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. And may I add that the unit is in the heart of Lauderdale by the Sea. Location, Location!
This is a treasure of a holiday rental, with everything close to hand the condo itself was immaculate, in a fab location and managed superbly by Jan & Tom, who were never more than a phone call away. We stayed here for 2 weeks and loved it. Would highly recommend this home
The house is much prettier than it looks in the photos. It is very comfortable and clean. It is a block and a half from the beach, which is perfect for not walking a lot with children or having to pay parking.
It has all the necessary equipment for cooking. In addition, the house was delivered to us with everything necessary to inhabit it without having to run to the supermarket.
The most important thing for us was to feel supported and advised when we learned about Hurricane Irma. In our country these climatic events do not happen so we had no experience of how to act. Jan provided us with all the information we needed to decide what to do.
It is a place we would love to return to without a doubt!
We recently stayed for a week at Jan and Tom's rental villa. Jan provided timely responses prior to our trip and the place was all set for us when we arrived. This property has an awesome location with proximity to the beach and restaurants. The place was exactly as advertised and touch of little things such as beach towels, sun screens, beach chairs etc made it fun and enjoyable. Thank you Jan and Tom and we would definitely plan to return.
Once again (2nd time staying), we had a wonderful time! The unit exceeded expectations. We will be back!!
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea (LBTS) is one of the finest and safest beach areas in South Florida. LBTS is unique to the area since it has remained free from high rise development along its beachfront. The beaches are beautiful and the locals are friendly. Along Commercial Blvd from the bridge to the beach you'll find many local shops, restaurants and bars. The beachfront is lined with low-rise condos, boutique hotels and a fishing pier. The local reefs are close to the beach, so the snorkeling and scuba diving is excellent. In fact, LBTS is known as the beach diving capital of the world!

Milan-based design duo Carnovsky's production spans art, design and decoration. Composed of Francesco Rugi and Silvia Quintanilla, they have collaborated with a wide variety of galleries, museums and institutions, such as the Helsinki Design Museum, the Drake Hotel in Toronto and Jaguarshoes in London.
Carnovsky create mind-bending patterns that unite a vintage Encyclopaedic feel with zoology, gastronomy, art and design, by clashing antique vibes with a very contemporary, vibrant color-palette and the use of technologically advanced techniques: a fantastic, awe-inspiring style that is perfect for stunning installations, wallpapers, and decorations. But Carnovsky's work is also perfect for fabrics: which is why Missoni commissioned them to create a pattern for a series of shirts and a windjacket in their Men's collection for this Fall.
As for the subject of the prints? Carnovsky decided to work with a pattern created by interlocking Jellyfish, the world's oldest multi-organ animal, which have inhabited our oceans for up to 700 million years, and inspired artists and visionaries for at least a few thousand. In Carnovsky's capable hands, these mysterious, colorful (and dangerous) animals become an all-over pattern that is as much inspired by the history and tradition of the iconic Missoni house style as it is by the work of German biologist Ernst Haeckel, who popularized jellyfish in his classic book of lithographic and autotype prints published between 1899 and 1904, Kunstformen der Natur (German for Art Forms of Nature). The Kunstformen series, which was published finally in two extremely influential volumes in 1905, was concerned with divulging the appearance of various natural organisms that were, more often than not, first described by Haeckel himself.
But the over-riding themes of his book were above and beyond the simple description of zoology: in Haeckel's work there emerges the idea of order out of chaos in nature, and the implied connection between nature, science and art. His prints presented organisms with the maximum possible sense of symmetry, organization and pattern-structure, while maintaining an awareness of the underlying chaotic variations that nature supplies us with. Much like Missoni's iconic patterns, Carnovsky's jellyfish also exist at the intersection between the man-made and the natural, the chaotic and the orderly, the mysterious and the known.

Top-bar hives have multiple practicalities. They can make a wonderful educational experience for the modern beekeeper to learn to understand the instincts of their bees. The modern beekeeper, otherwise using Langstroth equipment, will learn how bees build a feral hive, while having the added feature of removable frames. Each frame is 1 and 3/8 inches across, with a 3/16 inch spaced between the front and rear walls of the hive and the first and last frames. This allows for a 3/8 inch bee space between all surfaces in the hive. The sides are oriented at a 120 degree angle to the bottom board, which follows the natural angle of the cells in the comb, thus reducing attachments to the sides of the hive.
Combs in a top-bar hive simply hang from the top-bar, and are not supported by a frame, thus they cannot be extracted. Honey is either harvested as comb honey, or it is crushed and the wax rendered for other purposes, such as candle-making. This is the second practicality of the top-bar hive. For a beekeeper who values wax along with honey, the top-bar hive is the best way to go. For each comb of honey he harvests, that beekeeper also harvests a complete comb of wax. It is true that the bees will then have to re-build that comb again during the next honey flow, but the bees do this very quickly, faster, in fact, than they can draw out foundation, from my experience.
Bees in a top-bar hive will not continually collect honey, as will bees in a Langstroth hive, even if there is space left at the rear of the hive. It is the beekeeper's job to keep moving empty frames forward into the hive, about 2/3, from the front, into the front of the brood nest and just behind the first comb of honey. This assures that the broodnest never gets honey bound, and that there is always comb ready for the bees, as brood hatches from the rearmost comb of the brood nest. There is also a vacancy between two combs in the honey area, which the bees quickly fill. When moving new bars forward, it is best to insert them between two straight combs, as bees tend to naturally build curved combs, especially at the rear of the honey area. If you keep the bees building new combs between two good, strait combs, you will have the pleasure of not dealing with curved combs.
Honey from a top-bar hive will be harvested as comb honey. If the beekeeper wishes to have liquid honey, he must crush the comb and drain it of honey. One method of doing this is to press the comb between two wooden boards, using a car jack to build up the pressure. The wax is then cleaned in water and melted into a block for later use. Another method is to collect all harvested combs of honey in a clean bucket and then use a potato masher or some other implement to crush the comb, and then pour the honey through a filter to remove pieces of wax. The wax that is left behind can then be squeezed by hand over the filter, now containing a little honey and a lot of wax, thus squeezing the last bit of honey out of the wax. The wax is then cleaned in water and melted into a block for later use.
Leave the bees with a comparable surface area of comb to what you would overwinter your bees with in Langstroth equipment. This takes some calculations on your part, and the number of combs left will vary with the dimensions of your hive.
This is a very strong hive. They have drawn comb on 13 top bars (I think) but each top bar is bigger than a conventional deep frame. One of the biggest advantages of the top-bar hive is that the hives are much cheaper. I also find this hive much more fun to work than my two Langstroth hives. However, I will keep the lang hives because these will allow me to sell splits to other beekeepers. I am currently starting up a new beekeeper, who is buying two lang hives, and two splits (matured to the point of having a laying queen) from me for $80 each ($90 each for one, $80 each for more than one). One of the benefits with the top bar hive in this aspect is the bees raise more drones in top-bar hives, thus saturating my apiary with drones of desirable genetics to breed with my virgin queen.
The top bars are all added at once, as would be frames in a lang hive. The only measurements that matter are top-bars 1-3/8 inches wide, 3/16 inch spacers between the front and rear wall and the top-bars (I built these into the front and rear top-bars themselves) and a 120 degree angle between the bottom board and the sloping sides. This is the angle at which diagonal cells are to horizontal cells in honeycomb, and therefor this results in less comb attachments to the sides of the hive. I have had ZERO connections between combs, and minimal connections to the walls, which the bees do not rebuild once I remove the connections. This is my favorite hive. I would recommend building one for the pure enjoyment and learning experience it offers.
With the slanted sides, the bees tend to regard the walls and the bottom board as the floor of the hive, and build relatively few connections, which, once removed, they do not replace. It is necessary, however, to make sure your dimensions are correct so as not to leave any spaces larger or smaller than the bee space, thus eliminating the problem of burr comb. My only problem thus far has been slightly curved combs, curving toward the entrance at the ends of the bars. To solve this, I add an empty bar between two straight combs. The bees will draw this out, and then I will add another bar forward. As I get a good number of straight combs, I will move the curved ones toward the back of the hive for honey storage once the brood all hatches and the bees use up any pollen, and I will keep the straight combs for the brood nest. This way, I will eventually phase out any curved comb, and be left with only straight comb, which is easy enough to maintain once you have some to use as a guide for the bees.
The wonderful thing about a top-bar hive is that dimensions really don't matter. I'll tell you my dimensions. (these may not be exact, but are rough estimates unless noted). Accommodate wherever needed for the thickness of the wood you're using (no less than 3/4 inch wood should be used).
Hive body
Bottom of hive: 10 inches interior measurement
Height of hive: 12 inches interior measurement
Sides: whatever they work out to be. The angle between the bottom of the hive and the sides of the hive MUST be EXACTLY 120 degrees, in order to minimize comb attachments.
Front and back: trapezoids to fit
Bottom board length: a multiple (depends on # of top-bars, I like 30) of 1-3/8 inches plus 3/8 inch for the interior, plus the four inches extra for a landing board.
Measure the length to fit across the top of the hive, and add the thickness of the wood (which is cut at an angle, so it is thicker than the thickness of your lumber. 1-3/8 inches wide. Between your front top bar and the front of the hive, you will need a 3/16 inch spacer. Same for the back of the hive. Make some sort of a spline or ridge down the center of each bar, and rub the bottom edge of this with beeswax, or, even better, dip into melted beeswax. This gives the bees a starting point from which to draw out comb.
Now make yourself a weatherproof cover, with latches to hold it down during storms.
Now drill entrance holes for the bees to get in and out of the hive. Some of these holes will need to be flush with the landing board, so the bees will be able to clear the hive of dead bees and debris. I like the seven holes, 3/4 inch in diameter. I watch the bees, and if they seem to be struggling with not enough entrance room, I pull a cork from another hole, and if they seem to not be using all of their holes, I cork another one of the top ones. I will leave the bees with the bottom three holes for the winter.
I hope you're handy, it will take you the better part of a day to build this hive, but it is definitely worth it in the end. I actually find the top-bar hive more fun to work with than my Langstroth hives.

Unity Networking for Fun and Profit
Getting Connected
Unity networking utilizes the Client-Server networking paradigm. This means that there needs to be a single server, which clients connect to. The server handles the routing of network messages to clients. A server can be a remote machine that only handles the messaging, but for a game like Duet, which is going to have a very small number of connected clients, it's much more likely that one of the player's devices will act as the server. Creating a server is a relatively simple affair, with the server instance calling Network.InitializeServer. Clients then just use Network.Connect to connect to that server. There is a bit of complexity regarding Network Address Translation (NAT), and accessing remote machines, but dealing with those issues is a bit beyond the scope of this document.
Connecting the server and client(s) initially does very little. In theory, connected servers and clients could be on completely different scenes, with totally different game states. This may seem strange initially, but allows for flexibility and performance that would be impossible if everything was kept in perfect sync across all peers (clients and server). For example, Project Gorgon (an in-development Unity-based MMORPG) uses several "headless" (without a graphical component) Unity applications to handle NPC interactions. Even though the client and the NPC driver are two completely different Unity applications, they are able to share information with each other. If we want to provide a completely synchronized experience with multiple identical clients, then we need to provide a structure that handles that. Fortunately, that isn't terribly difficult.
Network Views
When peers are connected, only game objects that have Network Views attached to them can transmit information across the network. Network Views are built-in Unity components, and have a few different operation modes that allow for situation-specific performance tuning. There are three pieces of information that are crucial to utilizing Network Views: the owner GUID, the State Synchronization Mode, and the Observed Component.
The owner GUID is the least visible of the three properties discussed above, primarily because it is initialized by Unity, and cannot easily be changed. Whichever peer creates the Network View is set as the owner. This is important because only the owner can write changes to the state synchronization stream. Other peers can perform local changes, but Unity won't send those changes to other connected peers.
For example, Client A owns their player object, and can send position changes to the other peers. Client B owns their player object which punches Client A, sending them backwards. The change in position seen on Client B's instance won't be seen by any of the other peers. For the force to actually take effect, Client B needs to communicate to Client A that its player was punched, and have Client A react to that change. This doesn't sound ideal, but it actually allows a technique called Dead Reckoning, where Client B show's Client A's reaction to B's action before A has actually sent a reaction message. For more information, the Valve wiki has an excellent article on interpolation, prediction, and compensation.
State Synchronization
Each Network View (there can be multiple Network Views attached to a single GameObject) has an Observed Component and a Synchronization Mode. The Observed Component is the component whose data will be automatically sent through the network by Unity's networking. Transforms are commonly used, but any type component can be observed. Since only one component can be observed per Network View, if you want to observe multiple components of an object, you'll need to utilize multiple Network Views. It may be possible to create a single Component that is an aggregate of all of the components you'd like to sync, but I haven't investigated that possibility.
The Network View's Synchronization Mode can be either "Off", "ReliableDeltaCompressed", or "Unreliable". Turning the Synchronization Mode Off means that the Observed Component will not be sent over the network, and can be left null. This can seem like a wasted option, but it is the way of using the game object solely as an endpoint for Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) without sending useless information over the network. Surprisingly, both ReliableDeltaCompressed and Unreliable Synchronization Modes utilize the UDP protocol, which is inherently unreliable. Unity Networking has it's own network layer that utilizes ACKS and NACKS to make sure that anything marked as ReliableDeltaCompressed is, in fact, reliably streamed. ReliableDeltaCompressed is much slower than the Unreliable Synchronization, but it is guaranteed to have all updates seen by all peers, and that all of the updates are seen in the correct order.
The Unreliable setting, unsurprisingly, makes none of these promises. When using Unreliable Synchronization, messages can be lost or arrive out of order. This isn't as useless as it sounds. When the component being synchronized is something that is constantly changing, such as a player's position, there are going to be lots of updates being pushed through the network. If a small percentage of them are lost in the cold void of the internet, it isn't a very big problem. Any lost messages are likely to be rapidly made outdated by newer ones that do make it through to the peers. Unreliable Synchronization is much faster than ReliableDeltaCompressed, which makes it ideal for data that will be constantly changing.
It's worth noting again that with all types of Synchronization, only the changes made by the owner peer will be reflected across the network. Even if the server wishes to make changes, if it doesn't own the object, it cannot. Therefore, if you want the server to be the authority on game state (which is a fairly standard requirement), the server needs to be the owner of all important objects, and have the players that "control" them send requests for state changes.
Observing a Script
Along with observing basic unity Components like Transforms and RigidBodies, a NetworkView can be given a custom MonoBehavior as its Observed Component. When a message comes in (or a request to send is made), the MonoBehavior's OnSerializeNetworkView method is called. The BitStream parameter can have data pushed to or received by it using the stream's Serialize function. Determining whether or not the Component is an owner is a simple matter of reading the stream's isWriting property. When setting up the functions that read and write serialized data, it is important that the order data is serialized and deserialized is identical, otherwise the right data will end up in the wrong place. Only basic types (int, float, etc) can be serialized, along with Quaternions, Vector3s, and two types relating to NetworkPlayers. Custom objects, even if they are serializable, can't be send through this function, nor can variable-size objects like arrays. In theory, this limitation could be circumvented by sending the length of the array, and then the contents.
Like the built-in synchronization for unity Components, the order and reliability of OnSerializeNetworkView calls depends on the Synchronization Mode of the Network View. In Unreliable mode, the data is sent/received approximately 15 times per second, though that can be changed by changing the Network.sendRate parameter. Rather than send a certain number of times per second, when Synchronization is in ReliableDataCompressed mode, changes are only sent/received when unity detects that a the component has changed in a way that warrants a data update. Since there is more overhead in this mode, it makes sense that the updates should strive to contain more data, but keep the number of transmissions lower.
Since the custom Component is still being Synchronized via the NetworkView, it holds to the restriction that only the owner can transmit data, and all non-owner peers can merely read the stream. Fortunately, there is a way for peers to send messages to each other
RPC Calls
Remote Procedure Calls, or RPCs, follow a convention that should feel very familiar to a Unity Developer. The if a GameObject has a NetworkView attached, it can call the RPC function, and provide a function name, a broadcast type, and a list of parameters. Then, all synchronized Network Views will receive a function call with that same name and list of parameters. The receiver's function does need to be marked with an RPC attribute ("@RPC" for Javascript, "[RPC]" for C#), so the unity compiler knows that it is a network-exposed function. RPC function names must be unique throughout the scene's scripts, so Unity knows which types of GameObjects can receive the RPC. In this way, it is very similar to using Messages, except instead of sending up or down the hierarchy, the messages are sent across the network. Similar to State Synchronization, RPCs can only take basic types, Quaternions, Vector3s, and NetworkedPlayer data. However, RPCs are at a disadvantage, since they can't make use of the array workaround discussed above. The benefit to RPCs is that these functions are called on all peers that meet the qualifications of the broadcast type specified in the RPC call. Generally, and RPC will only be sent to a single other peer (such as a client messaging the server), or to all connected peers (broadcasting a change). Also, RPCs can be buffered, which means that they are stored at the server level. When a new client connects, all buffered RPCs are sent to that new client, which makes them useful for storing persistent state information.
Unfortunately, the Unity documentation is relatively light when it comes to discussing the performance of RPCs in real-time games. A note is made that the number of parameters of an RPC shouldn't be overwhelming, which seems to imply that they are expected to be used for fast, frequent updates. However, RPC calls are guaranteed to be received in the same order that they are sent, which can introduce latency if a particular message is misplaced. Since they can, in theory, be called at any time by any component attached to a NetworkView, it would seem that they fill a space between the slower and reliable ReliableDataCompressed and Unreliable modes of State Synchronization. Their ability to affect other peer's game objects, though, makes them invaluable. This doesn't expose any additional risk of hijacked peers, though, since the owners of those objects receive the RPC, and can decide if it is, in fact, a message worth listening to.

I LOVE that the Body by Vi 90 day Challenge now has added a Fitness and an Active category along with Weight Loss!
Carman – 34 (at the time of event)
Which challenge kit did you use?
Fit Kit
What is your favorite recipe?
Shrek Shake
What was your Challenge Goal?
This was my 1st 90 day challenge and it was to train and complete my 1st Tough Mudder in Austin, TX with my FireLitesFire gals/sisters-in-law; Lexy & Cyndi and my brothers-in-law; Torry & Keller and some amazing church friends.
Did you exercise? If so, what type of exercise did you enjoy?
We did circuit training, weight training, workouts at the track with sprints, monkey bars, low crawling, etc and Saturday long runs.
Which of your personal goals have you achieved?
Having previously done half marathons and a marathon, the Tough Mudder was one of the most challenging events I've done! It was a CRAZY AMAZING experience and getting to do this 12 mile 22 obstacle event as a team with my family members was what I loved most!! I loved training with some amazing athletes who inspired me daily and weekly. My biggest achievement was that I was able to complete every obstacle with my team/family, except those dang greased monkey bars – which I attempted TWICE!!, and I felt amazing when I was done!!
Is there anything else you want to tell us?
I could tell a HUGE difference in my endurance and athletic ability in my training for this Tough Mudder from getting in two Vi-shakes a day as part of my 5-6 small meals despite my diet not being perfect. The nutrition in these shakes is by far the best I have ever put into my body and trained with. I also LOVE that I can focus on a a new goal every 90 days! It is life changing!!
What is your next 90 Day Challenge Goal?
My next 90 day Challenge is to focus on dropping 5-10% bodyfat so that I can become leaner and stronger than I've ever been. It's also a goal of mine to see some hawt mama abs for the first time ever!! I will also be running the Houston Rodeo 10K run in February and plan to beat my previous 2 years run times.
Check out my blog post on lessons learned from doing the TM.
Would you ever do a Tough Mudder???
If you've done one, would you do another one??

Building an App for the Microsoft Headset
Using the Unity engine and several of the internet service providers in your area anyone can build an app for this device, and this is actually as cool as device itself. The Unity SDK allows users to place objects by defining distance and height from the device location in the direction it is currently facing. Once this is complete the object will be stationary and you can even walk around it and see it from any angle. The best example used at the conference were a series of balls hovering in the air. You could drop when by air clicking them and when they bounced they even sounded like bouncing balls. Voice commands could be used to reset the ball position.
The same balls could be moved to a table and roll around freely and even roll off on to the floor. If they came into contact with objects in the room they would stop or even get stuck on real furniture. This type of real world mapping may be the most interesting aspect of the HoloLens and could ultimately lead to increasingly more powerful apps.
This is due to the fact that the HoloLens passively scans the world around you via a constant series of background commands. Although the current world map is crude it is still amazingly accurate in terms of measurements. Future iterations can clean up the map because everything else is already mind blowing.
The level of accuracy, if not detail, to the world building aspect of the device is simply astounding. Although it can get confused as to exactly what an object should be, it knows exactly where it is and maps out its surfaces with amazing consistency. Add to this the most realistic physics engine that has been seen by the general public and you have yourself one awesome new device with so many real world applications I'll just leave it at "crap load of stuff". The hardware may have the ability to compare internet providers built into it for a better user experience.
Email App Solves To Much Email Problem
Zero presents information card-style which gives immediate access to message summaries without clicking through various menus, and it is text only so you get just the information you need to make a decision on what to do with a given message. Although one would think this style would force the user to spend more time on each message this isn't the case. Messages are consumed a great deal faster then moved to another folder immediately. Swiped messages are automatically archived. Users of cheap computers need not worry, this app is very well optimized.
From the initial feed you can move a message to another folder, tap it to keep it in the inbox, or reply to it directly despite the latency inherent in typical satellite internet connections. There are also easy to use buttons that let you view archived messages, folders, and then back to your inbox in a flash. Although email attachments are not presented in the default view, they are available to be clicked on and viewed within the app.
Hulu Has Seinfeld So Go Subscribe Now
Other reseller deals are in place to help Hulu reach new customers. Cablevision has signed on to resell the streaming service to its existing customers and is even promoting several packages that bundle Hulu with their internet packages sans and TV subscription service. This type of bundle is new in the industry and a lot of executives are keeping a close eye on how well it will sell.
The deal will most certainly give Hulu access to AMCs content such as Sundace TV, IFC Films, AMC Network, BBC America, and IFC. This may also lead to Hulu becoming a desired partner to most internet providers by zip code for a powerful value add offering. If these are indeed a part of the deal then Hulu's content it about to increase a truck load in a very short period of time. This is the type of deal that will knock people off the fences and even give Hulu a shot at competing with Netflix. Now if they will just sign a deal with Marvel to acquire TV rights to a few C-Grade superheroes we would be in business. I'd like to see 13 episodes on The Watcher or Moon Knight so get busy.

If you want a smooth shiny repair the next step is to wet/dry sand the area. This is done with 400 to 600 grit sand paper. Keep a small (16 oz.) container full of water and dip the sand paper into the water every few seconds. The wet/dry sand paper will bring out some sheen to the repaired area.
The inner masking tape is 1/8" away from the damaged area when using the wet/dry sand paper.
The final step in a great repair is to compound the area. Use a fine compound like the 3M Microfinishing Compound. Remember to use a respirator and work in a well vented area. Compounding works by removing a little material to bring the high areas down to the low area. Just compound enough to get the sheen into the repaired area. The masking tape should be 1/4" away from the damaged area. While you can compound by hand a random orbital buffer works best.
The Porter-Cable (97335) 5" variable speed random orbital sander kit is a great tool to have for doing this type of repair. You can add a foam pad to this tool (top photo) and use it to compound or wax the repaired area. This random orbital sander has a hose attachment to hook up to a shop vac to help keep the dust down. Amazon has it for $150. It may be our best repair tool we own. The Foredom flex shaft tool is a close second, but much more expensive and not as versatile for the price.

This season finale basically wrapped the series into a what I hope is a series finale bow. While the fate of this drama is still in the balance, this ep locked up all the major characters' stories. Sarah and Luc got hitched with a plaid-wearing Beau Bridges looking on. When Sarah learned that her bio-dad had been tracking her milestones through the years, she abruptly welcomed him into her life, and ostensibly into Nora's bed. As cheesy as it was, I did get misty when he walked her down the aisle. Meanwhile, Justin reunited with dull what's her name so he too got a conclusive albeit snooze-worthy happy ending.
Kitty, as twitchy and limp-haired as never before, announced her heretofore, medically unlikely pregnancy. Poor what's his name; he's stuck with a baby on the way even though he looks like Kitty's teen son. Go back to Cougar Town while you still can!
The show appeared to realize that this could be its swan song. To honor its ridiculous, 7th Heaven-esque approach to phone call bitchery, it "treated" the audience to approximately 8 minutes of call waiting during the opening segment. This kind of tomfoolery makes me want to hang up for good.
Just in case the show is reprieved, Beau Bridges did note that he has four other children who could interfere with the Walker clan's blissful endings. These never-mentioned scion will certainly contrast the upper-crust Walker snobs with beer-swilling hijinx. I hope this day does not come.
Finally, if this was truly the last ever episode, they STILL never mentioned Ryan Lafferty. Would it kill someone to just name drop the bastard? Also, Rebecca and Holly did not get a last minute cameo. Alas. I've watched this crap for many seasons without missing a beat and I am prepared to say good-bye. Nonetheless, if the Walkers phone me up next season, sadly, I will answer.

USA TODAY Sports explores who's trending up and down after another week of Major League Baseball:
5 up
Minor upsets: Many had penciled Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Yasiel Puig into the National League All-Star roster before the Final Vote competition. But Atlanta rallied around Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, and he led wire-to-wire. In the American League, Toronto Blue Jays reliever Steve Delabar earned the final spot.
Jarred Cosart: Facing an American League East team and a reigning Cy Young Award winner should've made for a daunting debut for Cosart, the Houston Astros rookie. Rather, Cosart took a no-hitter into the seventh inning and earned the win over David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Big Apple: Tuesday's All-Star Game will be the ninth one held in New York City. This year's edition will have the fewest-ever ties to New York teams among mid-summer classics in Big Apple ballparks. But, as you can see, it's hard to live up to some of the past participation.
Never giving up: Plenty of big-league third basemen would have surrendered on this Manny Machado web gem around the time he knocked the ball well into foul territory. But the Baltimore Orioles standout's throw from somewhere near the dugout beat the runner. It's probably the leader in the clubhouse for best defensive play of the season.
Massive signing bonuses: The Chicago Cubs signed No. 2 overall draft pick Kris Bryant, a third baseman out of the University of San Diego, this week. Bryant will receive a signing bonus of $6.7 million, a record since new spending restraints started last year.
5 down
Derek Jeter: The New York Yankees shortstop had some more bad luck, this time in his season debut Thursday. In the lineup as the designated hitter, Jeter strained his right quadriceps, causing him to sit out until at least the All-Star break. But general manager Brian Cashman said, "I don't want to think this is Father Time knocking on the door."
Waiting for the next shoe to drop: According to reports, we're likely days away from Major League Baseball announcing Biogenesis-related suspensions. Some of the more prominent players named, like the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, are still meeting with investigators.
Staying healthy: Jeter and the Yankees aren't the only ones in need of a clean bill of health. The Braves, too, have been hit hard by the injury bug this season. Atlanta still has a six-game lead over the Washington Nationals in the NL East.
The one that got away: Unlike the Cubs who spent a fortune to sign Bryant, the Blue Jays' top choice will likely attend college after failing to sign. Right-handed pitcher Phil Bickford became the lone first-round draftee not to sign a deal.
Batting orders: This might have been excusable had this been, say, a Little League team instead of the defending World Series winners. The San Francisco Giants batted out of order last Saturday when Buster Posey took Pablo Sandoval's spot. The Giants blamed the mistake on a new electronic lineup card. Call us old-fashioned, but what's wrong with a Bruce Bochy handwritten lineup?

How to Save Money Using Dealspotr.com
What is "dealspotr"?
I first heard of dealspotr.com a few months ago, and I didn't know what to think of it at first. It's a place to find good deals to save money, and you can share deals that you find too.
You can find coupon codes as well as sales on there.
My Experience with dealspotr
I thought, "Okay, you can post deals when you find them…eh…"
I found an exciting deal at Papa John's, and if you know anything about my family, you realize this MATTERS to us, so I posted it on dealspotr to share the happiness. It wasn't hard. Past that, I kind of forgot about dealspotr.com.
Then came spring break. Saving money has been not just nice but necessary.
Y'all! You can save some serious buck-a-rinos with this website.
The whole point of this website is to compile tons of good deals for all different types of things in one place. It's the kind of thing thrifty people dream of.
Some merchants even offer exclusive deals through dealspotr.
When I use it, I head straight to the search bar.
Type in the place you are going or the thing you are trying to buy, and see what pops up. You never know. You could save hundreds on a vacation or just save $1 on your meal, but you won't know until you search.
When I hear about a site that gives you deals, I like to see proof. Just how good are these deals? Are they worth taking the time to dig up?
Here's what I found, to give you a few examples.
These are coupon codes that I found on dealspotr. I had spring break on the brain.
Legoland Discovery Center ——Get free child ticket with purchase of adult ticket coupon code (to be used to purchase tickets online)
Legoland Theme Park— Free child ticket with purchase of adult ticket. Copy code and purchase online.
Papa John's Pizza—- 25% off code
Most deals that I found on there do NOT require a coupon code. These are sales. You can just click on the link and purchase at the discounted price.
This swing set is $342 at Walmart right now (March 20th, 2017), as opposed to the regular price of $586!!!!!
And this deal was my personal favorite with Easter coming up:
Before I went to Starbucks, I typed in Starbucks. There was a 10% discount on there for Starbucks. Awesome.
I need to buy tennis shoes for one of my sons, so I typed in "Nikes", and I found about 5 different pairs of Nike tennis shoes, on sale, that would fit Caleb.
40% off your purchase at the GAP was another exciting deal I found on my personalized feed. They offer suggestions for you on your homepage, but to me, using the search bar was the most helpful way to use this site.
Now, you may need to create your own dealspotr.com account to be able to see all of these links that I'm including.
But the good news is that it's free to join, and you can adjust your settings so that you don't get unwanted email.
Do you think I can talk Alan into buying the boys that discounted swingset I found?
You can also actually earn points and money from this company.
Fill out your profile, and upload deals that you find to start collecting points.
The points you earn by posting deals for them adds up to gift cards to places like Amazon!
Pssst! If you are a blogger or you have a ton of social media followers, you can earn even more! So be sure to check that out here. And be sure to use one of these codes:
lIAVKePx or ESoM2F54
Have you tried Dealspotr or another program like it? Tell us about it in the comments!
Happy saving!
****This post is sponsored by dealspotr.com, a community to find coupons, coupon codes, and sales and even share deals that you've found as well. All opinions are my own, for better or for worse.****

Interpretation Request #81
Topic: tcsetattr Relevant Clauses: 188.8.131.52
Does POSIX.1 require that tcsetattr(fildes, TCSANOW, termios_p) preserve data that may have been received by the serial communications port but not yet processed and placed in the input queue? My reading of the Standard is that POSIX.1 is silent as to whether the data are preserved. This means that the effect on unprocessed input is unspecified, so a conforming implementation can discard the data. The critical specifications are:
(1) If optional_actions is TCSANOW, the change shall
occur immediately.
(2) If optional_actions is TCSADRAIN, the change shall occur after all output written to fildes has been transmitted. This function should be used when changing parameters that affect output.
(3) If optional_actions is TCSAFLUSH, the change shall occur after all output written to the object referred to by fildes has been transmitted, and all input that has been received, but not read, shall be discarded before the change is made. (1002.1-1990 p. 143, 144; subclause 188.8.131.52)
(Questions in the elaboration below are meant to be rhetorical. They are not meant to request specific interpretations.) The descriptions focus largely on output. This is because output is under the system's control to a much greater extent than is input. The description of tcflow(), for example, has a corresponding asymmetry, in that the system is required to directly control output flow but only to send START and STOP out on the serial line to request that the remote system control input flow. Consider the case of a serial port that has an input buffer that holds raw input, to await processing in batches.
This is an attractive architecture because it can greatly reduce the number of interrupts needed to service input on the port. What should happen to this buffered raw input when tcsetattr(fildes, TCSANOW, termios_p) is called? If the newly-set parameters include any changes to the input processing mode, the result of input processing on a system with such buffers could be different from what would be placed in the input queue by an implementation that does not buffer unprocessed data. Things are even worse for a character that has been only partly received from the transmission line by the serial hardware when the interface is reset. There is no unique correct way to process such data, and in many situations the data will be irretrievably corrupted. My feeling is that the TCSANOW optional action means "Make the change right now, no matter what happens to the data in transit". Tools are provided to allow the programmer to trade responsiveness for data integrity for output data. No such facilities and no corresponding guarantees are provided for input, because the problem is fundamentally difficult. It's impossible for the system to know what is about to arrive from the incoming serial connection.
Interpretation Response
The standard is silent on this issue, as to whether the data are preserved , and as such no conformance distinction can be made between different implementations.

Counseling wasn't something I ever thought I would ever need.
Blessed with a healthy mind and a privileged life, I had no need to see a psychologist or psychiatrist, or even visit my school guidance counselor. I was content with my life and everyone and everything in it. My brother had an anxiety disorder for as long as I could remember, but he and my parents managed it well.
When I was 16, my parents told my brothers and me my dad was struggling with depression, but he was dealing with it in a healthy way and making a lot of progress. Mental health didn't seem like a threat, but then it was. In a few short months my dad unraveled. He lost his battle with depression just before my seventeenth birthday.
When it happened, I felt like my life was in pieces. But seeing a counselor every week helped me put the pieces of my life together again. It was the reason I was able to sort through my thoughts and process what had happened.
It gave me the determination to get out of bed and go to school. It brought my family back together again, and we are now stronger than ever. I came to Ohio Wesleyan because this was the only college I felt could truly support me.
When I came in for my interview as a high school senior, I was comforted and supported by a woman who was supposed to be questioning me, not telling me that I would be happy here, at home here.
I was told this is a community filled with love and unity, and I could tell it was. My visit to OWU reassured me that this is a school that nurtures and helps its students grow.
I've been here for two years now, and although I am growing, I'm also still grieving. I still am not perfect, I still need help, and I know I'm not alone.
When I first tried to make an appointment with counseling services, I was frustrated because they told me they couldn't take me for two months. I decided I couldn't wait and would go home to see my therapist when necessary.
But not everyone is as lucky. Not everyone can leave to see their doctor whenever they want, and not everyone has the money to afford professional help. When students can't get an appointment right away, many of them find themselves not getting it. And that has to stop.
Everyone should be encouraged to take care of their mental health, and have the opportunity to receive individual attention.
The death of a loved one, trouble at home, sexual assault, addiction, a mental disorder or anything that overwhelms and paralyzes a student from being their best self is a problem. We need to start recognizing that the brain is an organ and it can fail us. When our body is sick, we have the resources on hand to help it heal. Why don't we have the same for our mental health?
The counselors here are simply remarkable, which is why it is such a shame that they do not have the staff to cater to the demands of our student body. A mental health problem doesn't wait for a time of your convenience, so a waitlist for counseling shouldn't be happening either. If students are hurting, they should be encouraged to reach out, and they should be welcomed with open arms.
The initiative for more funding for Counseling Services needs to be supported. You might not realize the necessity of counseling, but do you really want to wait until you do? Don't you deserve to have this incredible resource available to you when you need it?
If you haven't already, sign the petition sponsored by the House of Peace and Justice to prioritize Counseling Services. Contact your WCSA representative, email an administrator, or both. We need to demand that an increase in funding for Counseling Services becomes a priority.
Ours is a school that takes pride in its strong, loving sense of community, and we need to actively work to keep it that way. Let's keep OWU students happy and healthy. Let's get everyone access to Counseling Services.

If you like warm weather, you'll get an early Christmas gift Wednesday -- temperatures will stay in the 50s through the afternoon.
"Those of us from Colorado would prefer cold and snow," said Matt Makens, 6News meteorologist.
Makens said Wednesday's forecast calls for a mix of sunny skies and some clouds.
"It's just going to be a nice day," he said.
Thursday through Monday, the forecast calls for a mix of sun and clouds, with high temperatures in the 40s, and the overnight lows dropping below freezing.
"Each day is going to have a mix of sun and clouds," he said.
On Saturday and Monday there will be more clouds and the forecast could change to include some precipitation, he said.
Wednesday's high of 63 in the morning was close to the record high of 67 set back in 1976. Last year on this date, the high temperature was 54. Normal high temperatures for late December is in the low 40s, with lows in the low 20s.
