ADVANCED SAILING CERTIFICATION on LAKE SUPERIOR
What The Course Entails
The Advanced Sailing Course is a five-day sailing class designed to create more competent, confident sailors. You will improve your sailing skills and experience night sailing, standing watches and sailing offshore in varying weather conditions.
Everyone is involved in planning the passage. The instructor will review navigation procedures, use of charts, dead reckoning, radar, and GPS in an easy to understand and relaxed environment. This exciting adventure covers over 200 nautical miles (weather depending) with destinations such as Isle Royale National Park, Keweenaw Peninsula, and Grand Marais, MN.
Your Classroom
Our Advanced Sailing Certification class takes place on 36 - 41 foot boats which serve as your classroom and overnight accommodations. You will sleep onboard the boat in harbor with complementary boarding the evening prior to the first day of your instruction, and you'll spend all other nights at anchor or at other ports with the instructor aboard. There are heads and a galley on all boats. Bring sleeping bag or bedding and towels.

You will set sail from the Apostle Islands with an overnight passage to Isle Royale,
then on to Grand Marais and back to the Apostle Islands over the course of five days.
The evening before the course begins. Relax, settle-in and get to know your crew.
Day One
Prepare the boat for departure and begin a leisurely sail through the Apostle Islands while you become familiar with your boat and discuss the open water passage. A late afternoon departure from the islands will ensure your landfall at Isle Royale in daylight on Day Two.
During the night crossing the crew will keep watch in teams of two in four hour shifts. Keeping a lookout for shipping traffic, you will learn watch-keeping skills using radar, the "rules of the road" and interpreting ship's navigational lights.
Day Two
Landfall at Isle Royale . Navigating the fiord-like entrance to Windigo will challenge your piloting skills. Rocks and reefs are numerous and a good lookout on the boat is important. The afternoon provides the crew with free time to go ashore to hike the trails or just sit back and relax.
Day Three
Day-long sail to Grand Marais. Another chance to experience open water, wind and waves. After tying up in the marina, you can enjoy hot showers and a walk into town.
Day Four
In the morning you will depart for your crossing back to the Apostle Islands . Arriving in the evening you will anchor in the islands, well positioned for a day sail back to Superior Charters.
Day Five
Weigh anchor and sail back through the islands discussing the trip and enjoying the view, off boarding by 4 pm.
Throughout the trip there will be plenty of opportunity for discussion of offshore sailing strategies, communication systems, weather forecasts, heavy weather strategies and safety. You will be encouraged to experiment with navigational tools onboard such as binoculars with integrated compass, hand bearing compass, digital chart plotter, etc.

A few weeks back I had an amazing experience on the Tuolumne River near Yosemite Valley rafting with the great outfitters O.A.R.S., who run rafting trips locally and abroad. They reached out to me to be part of their Brewmaster Dinner on the river where they invited the good folks at Cypress Grove Creamery and Chef extraordinaire Christian Vargas who paired an amazing series of meals on the river. The O.A.R.S. crew were just great and at every spot set-up our camp, "toilet facilities", kitchen and created a warm and relaxing atmosphere. They planned day hikes in the mornings and afternoons while we waited for the water to come up on the river when we would then shove of and attack the level four to five rapids. An amazing roller coaster ride.
Caren Osten, a travel writer was also on the trip with her family and chronicled the entire adventure on her blog, Embark. Definitely give it a read, it captures the trip perfectly. On the river the guests included families and friends from Doctors, to Bike enthusiasts and weekend warriors (that was me). We brought our 21A canned craft beers spanning the spectrum of taste and strength, from Hell or High Watermelon Wheat to Lower De Boom barleywine. This was really the first time that I was able to practice what I preach when I talk about the advantage of canned craft beer, the ability to take a can where no bottle can go, in this case the Tuolumne River. If you get a chance you should take one of these trips, really an experience of a life time.

It is day 19 of the blogtober17 challenge, and todays topic is secrets, whilst thinking about this post it really got me thinking just how huge this topic is.
Secrets are one of those things that can really cause joy and happiness or break hearts.
We all have secrets, especially at this time of year when we are thinking of what to buy for christmas and knowing we have got an amazing present but can not say anything.
Sometimes we are put in a position where we do not know what to do, I have a very open relationship with my husband and we tell each other everything. A couple of years ago one of my boys rang me and put his then girlfriend on the phone, they were coming to us for the weekend, but she wanted to talk to me first, they thought she was pregnant, and did not know what to do, we chatted and she was going to get a test and do it while she was here, but they did not want me to say anything to my husband. This really did go against my usual thoughts, but I promised and for two days I kept that promise. They did the test and it was negative, and we then told my husband. Why my son was so scared to tell him I do not know, as he is a pussy cat at heart. But I was so relieved when it was out, and spent ages apologising to him. He was fine and said it must have been really playing on my mind.
I have also been in a position when one friend told me, she had slept with my best friends boyfriend and I could not say anything. I was seeing my best friend later that day, and I felt physically sick, but knew I had to tell her as she was besotted with him. She knew there was something wrong as soon as she saw me, and I told her, she was grateful and obviously hurt, but she deserved someone better than him.
There are also nice secrets, when my daughter in law went for her scan, the sex of the baby was to be kept a secret until her baby shower. Her Mum went with her and was told the gender and she rang me straight away. But keeping it a secret was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do when speaking to my daughter in law, so was very happy when we could finally talk about our new soon to be born granddaughter. The next secret I will have to keep is when she goes into labour as will not be able to say anything.
What are your views on secrets?
Have you ever had to keep one?

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is concerned not only with alleviating need but also with identifying those structures, societal and legislative, that cause and perpetuate poverty. This mission manifests itself in the Society's admonition to "End Poverty Through Systemic Change." This site serves as a hub for the systemic change and advocacy programs sponsored by the Society of St. Vincent De Paul Diocese of Columbus.
Our programs including the Vincentian Ohio Action Network, which was formed in 2014 as an independent 501c3 designed to develop independent organizing programs designed and led by people directly experiencing poverty and marginalization. We have projects in five Central Ohio Counties and we have become leaders in Ohio on criminal justice reforms.
We also run a microloan program that operated in 5 counties to offer low-interest loans to the community as alternatives to predatory lending. This work was featured in the Columbus Dispatch and NPR.
"The Society (of St. Vincent de Paul) is concerned not only with alleviating need but also with identifying the unjust structures that cause it. It is, therefore, committed to identifying the root causes of poverty and to contributing to their elimination. In all its charitable actions there should be a search for justice; in its struggle for justice, the Society must keep in mind the demands of charity." (Part 1:7.1)

Fang Zhao didn't know what kind of gossip the security guards on the cruise ship were trading about him. He was preoccupied with the prospect of running into Director Roman at the auction later in the day. How many competitors were also in the running? How would he deal with them?
Thanks to habits formed during the Period of Destruction, Fang Zhao was a fast eater, although he had already slowed down significantly to cope with his current life. Still, he was faster than the others. He started noticing curious glances thrown his way, but they bore no ill will, so he didn't mind.
After finishing his meal, Fang Zhao checked the time. There was still a while to go before the auction started, so he called Zuo Yu for an update.
Zuo Yu had no news on Roman's whereabouts but had overheard some folks mentioning the director in conversation. They all knew about the auction, so odds were Fang Zhao would run into quite a few like-minded folks at the auction.
After hanging up, it was about time, but just as he was getting ready to get up and leave, Fang Zhao heard his name called with a soft laugh. "Fang Zhao?"
He lifted his head to see a beautiful blonde girl take a seat across from him. She was holding half a cup of fruit tea whose aroma was wafting through the air.
The blonde girl stared at Fang Zhao. "I know who you are. I saw you at the Fiery Bird annual gala that year in Huangzhou. My friend and I are fans of yours!"
Even though she sounded quite emotional and her facial expressions were exaggerated, her gaze was relatively calm.
Fang Zhao had come across many crazy fans in Yanzhou. He could tell instantly that the blonde girl before him was faking it.
Then again, her indifference was also understandable. Someone who showed up on a luxury cruise ship filled with rich people in Teasandsea had to come from money. list celebrities were regular sightings, so Fang Zhao was nothing to write home about.
Also, judging from her pattern of speech, Fang Zhao guessed she was from Huangzhou. Apart from her snobbish tone and her comment, there was also her syntax and accent.
"What are you doing here? You're not..." The blonde leaned in, her bright blue eyes staring at Fang Zhao flirtatiously. "Are you here for Director Roman too?"
Fang Zhao glanced at the girl, probably still in secondary school, and arched his eyebrows slightly. He was about to answer when he heard the blonde continue.
"It's OK if you don't own up to it. Totally understandable. Eight out of the 10 actors I ran into today are here for Roman. The auction is about to start. I won't keep you. Why don't you sign me an autograph as a keepsake? I have two friends who are also your fans. Pity they are out shopping."
She claimed to want Fang Zhao's autograph, but she had absolutely nothing for him to sign, not a piece of paper or anything, not even a pen.
Fang Zhao stared at her in silence.
Realizing she didn't have anything handy, the blonde took off her jacket and tossed it in front of Fang Zhao, without any hint of embarrassment. "Sign here."
The blonde girl wore a skimpy tank top that revealed a big chunk of her midriff, her look typical of the type of wholesome beauty common during teenage rebellion—part innocent, part sexy.
She rotated her teacup with one hand and twirled her hair with another as she gauged Fang Zhao with a mischievous smile. She wanted to jam Fang Zhao in a moment of embarrassment or awkwardness, or any other type of discomfort.
Fang Zhao glanced at the young woman, raised his arms to shut a nearby window and asked a waiter to bring a pen that would leave a permanent mark on clothing. He signed quickly and returned the jacket.
"The evening breeze is very chilly. The temperature gets quite low outside."
The blonde blanked. It clearly wasn't the response she had been expecting. She picked up her autographed jacket without so much as a glance and said, "Do you have anything else to say to me?"
Fang Zhao pondered, then, with a kind smile, responded, "Have you finished your homework yet?"
That comment came across even chillier than the sea breeze.
The blonde froze, a look of astonishment replacing her mischievous smile. She hadn't expected Fang Zhao to say something like that.
She was a rising year-six secondary student, the equivalent of a rising senior under the education system of the Old Era. The workload at most New Era secondary schools was typically quite heavy in the summer between year five and year six. Summer vacation wasn't over yet in Huangzhou, and the new term was about to start. The summer workload was indeed significant, something even a rich kid had to cope with, not to mention the fact she still hadn't finished her summer homework.
Party pooper!
The blonde girl stopped smiling. She frowned, hissed, and stormed out.
Fang Zhao sighed. "I really don't know what's going on in the heads of kids these days."
He was just about to leave when he got another call.
It was a number he didn't recognize, but it was tagged verified. Fang Zhao put it through.
"Fang Zhao? This is Eric, head of security here on Teasandsea Cruise Ship No. 9."
A pale-looking Eric was sitting in his office. After receiving the tip from Fang Zhao, he had dug up footage of the suspicious-looking man, and he had found the man questionable as well. He had sent officers to pick the man up while keeping an eye on the surveillance footage, but lo and behold, the suspect had disappeared and his men couldn't track him down.
Meanwhile, Eric had gotten word after ordering a thorough inspection of the entire vessel that two heavily injured sailors had been found unconscious in a storeroom. They would have been lost causes had they been found any later.
After confirming that something was going down, Eric had ordered his men to locate the suspect while continuing the inspection and keeping up appearances.
But the suspect was slick as a piece of hot butter. Taking advantage of his stature, he had blended into the crowd seamlessly. Before they had known it, he had been gone.
Even though the cruise ship was fitted with many security cameras, the cruise ship's wealthy patrons had their concerns about privacy. The cameras were mainly installed in public places and some of the shopping malls. Not every inch of the ship was under surveillance.
What if they lost the suspect?
What if they couldn't track him down?
Should Eric expand the search?
Most definitely.
He had to keep looking and deploy more men, but at the same time, Eric decided to contact Fang Zhao as well.
People had different strengths. Some folks could pick up a scent from miles away, like cemetery guards, for example. No quality of disguise could fool their eyes and their inexplicable instincts.
Given the fact that it was Fang Zhao who had called in the tip, considering he seemed to have instincts that rivaled a cemetery guard's, then why not ask him to assist? Eric looked up Fang Zhao's personnel records. He had to be quite competent to have been promoted to officer grade during one brief year of military service. As much hyperbole as the news reports contained, they had some grounding in facts.
So Eric decided to utilize whatever assets he had at his disposal, lest any go to waste. Otherwise, he might have yet another unsolved crime on his hands.
Why "another"?
Because incidents like this were too common.
Not to mention that many of the tycoons aboard had their own bodyguards. They didn't give a d*mn about anything that didn't concern them. Who cared if someone might be missing, if someone's life hung in the balance? As long as they had fun and partied hard, nothing else mattered provided the cruise ship's security detail didn't get in the way.
So even if Eric wanted to expand his investigation, he would meet resistance. That was another reason he wanted to ask Fang Zhao for help. It was a hassle-free, efficient, and low-profile solution.
After briefing Fang Zhao on the situation, Eric made clear his request for help.
Fang Zhao looked at the time. The auction was about to begin.
He responded decisively. "No problem. Did you pick up a trail? Where did you lose him?"
As he listened to Eric's voice through his headset, Fang Zhao headed in the opposite direction of the auction, leaving the restaurant in a hurry.
In another corner of the restaurant, the blonde girl who had just asked Fang Zhao for his autograph was meeting up with her friends and giving them the lowdown on her encounter.
A pair of siblings, fraternal twins, craned their necks and surveyed their surroundings.
"Zhao God is here too?"
"Where, where, where?"
The blonde girl hadn't lied about the fact that her friends were Fang Zhao's fans. The twins were fans indeed, and of the more fanatic variety at that. The got emotional upon hearing that Fang Zhao was also on the cruise ship.
"He left. I just saw him head that way in a hurry." The blonde girl pointed her finger in the direction Fang Zhao had gone.
Then the girl realized something was wrong. "That's not the direction of the auction. So he's not here for Roman after all? Was I wrong?"
"That's right. I heard the director of 'Founding Era' is on board and that he is scheduled to attend the auction," another person said. "Speaking of Fang Zhao, I remember voting for him in an online poll on who should be cast as Fang Zhao. I did it for fun, but to be serious, there's no way he will be cast."
The twins were already disappointed that Fang Zhao had left. That comment was the last straw.
"Why wouldn't my Zhao God be cast?"
"Yeah, of course he might be."
The twins were determined to defend their idol.
They had started out as gaming fans. After a series of events, they had become Fang Zhao's diehard fans. All their friends knew.
Once the topic of their idol came up, any semblance of reason or decorum went out the window. To put it bluntly, they went from normal people to psychos instantly.
Young people were prone to getting emotional, especially teenagers. Once they got started, there was no talking sense into them.
The friends who had just said that Fang Zhao was a long shot raised their hands in surrender. "OK, we're not going to argue with diehard fans like you. The cast will be announced soon. Nothing speaks louder than the facts."
In fact, the twins weren't total idiots. Of course they knew that a blockbuster project like this had strict standards. Fang Zhao had an edge in gaming, but when it came to movies, he really had nothing going for him. The twins just didn't want to concede defeat in front of their friends.
Never mind how boisterous they were in defending their idol, now that they had calmed down and reason had set in, the twins moped and sighed silently.
"Sigh, how come 'Founding Era' can't be postponed for a few decades? Who knows, by then Fang Zhao might be a much bigger star. He might be a contender then, but now is a bit early."
But matters concerning "Founding Era," its casting decisions, and so on, weren't things these kids had a say in.
The twins consoled themselves by saying, "Why don't we save up our allowance and fund a TV series for our idol?"

Her most memorable iSchool courses were Dr. Westbrook's Reference & Collection Management and Dr. Roy's Library Instruction & Public Libraries.

Will be ordering this again and this time in a bigger quantity. The delivery was on time. Also, the quality was extremely good. The product looks durable. This is exactly what I wanted for my employees.
When I saw this on web, I did not know it would be so amazing a product. I wasn't sure about the quality as most of the similar products (that offers pen holders ring binders and all that multi functioning) comes at a much higher price. But for its price, I had to try and it was so good in quality and looks when I got it.
In my case it was satisfactory. I was a little confused though, since this did cost me slightly more than what I used to keep earlier (similar one but in plastic). But it was a worth buy. I am quite happy with its quality and this seems to have boosted the spirits of my staff members.
Brilliant product, well priced, beautifully designed, fine leather, smooth zippers, and above all it is spacious with 8 card slots and 3 other sections!!
V order dis product in quite big number and v r satisfied with our purchase. Splendid quality!

Scoring a winner
Ramesh Narayan, winner of the Kerala State Film Award
for the best music director, tells that he gives his best
to each number he composes.
Read Full article at: https://www.manoramaonline.com/music/songs-of-the-day/2017/11/25/paathi-movie-mizhineeru-peyyunna-song-beauty.html
Ramesh Narayan is not, by any stretch of imagination, the most prolific of composers in Malayalam cinema. But, he is one of the few who are capable of coming up with melodic numbers at a time when such compositions are becoming increasingly hard to be heard in Malayalam films. Right from his maiden composition, for Garshom, Ramesh has been able to make music that could stand out. The other day his music received the recognitiona it richly deserved, as he won the State Film Award for his composition, 'Adithya kiranangal…', for the film White Boys. The song also fetched K. J. Yesudas his 27th State Award for the best playback singer.

Around 1900, John Thomas Cecil built this mill over the foundation of W.W. Cecil's mill which was torn down. The first belt driven roller mill in the county and the saw mill were operated by water power until Cecil's death in 1927. His son, H. Robb Cecil continued the operation converting to diesel power instead of water. The grist mill was closed in 1940 when store-bought bread created too much competition. The saw mill was closed in 1959 after the death of H. Robb Cecil. In 1975 John A. Cecil and William Cecil gave the mill to the historical society for the purpose of preserving the structure and eventually housing a museum.
The old mill now offers a unique collection of antiques, handcrafted arts and crafts, scrapbooking, and homemade jams & jellies.
Cecil's Old Mill still has much of the original milling equipment on display. One of the pleasures of shopping at the old mill is the opportunity of being surrounded by history. Cecil's Historic District has been a hub of commerce for St. Mary's County since the early 19th century.
Outside, take a trip back in time to see the Old Mill's restored double overshot waterwheel, one of the last in existence. And if you are very fortunate you might find Bill Clements operating the old sawmill!

Welcome to Jet Set Mom! Traveling with kids is not easy -- especially when you are alone. Here's some highlights of my trips around the U.S. and the world (and some closer to home) with my children Alex and Serene.

Blistering, Blustering Cold in Baltimore
Before little Alex was born, trips East, West and across the Atlantic were a lot more frequent and a lot less challenging. There was a time when I lived in Los Angeles, maintained a room in New York City and flew the coasts roundtrip weekly. Now it requires an tectonic shift in order negotiate such a move. If your the last flight into DC-Dulles after midnight, make sure you don't miss the people movers that take you from the outer terminals to the main terminal. We got stranded at 1am and had to call security for a special service. It took an hour. (I'm not sure what the airport does if there is a genuine emergency.) By the time we got to baggage claim, the luggage was locked. It turns out Dollar Rent-A-Car isn't open 24 hours despite it postings. Hertz will charge you three times as much, but the GPS won't necessarily include the address you have to get to. The toll lanes only accept coins (which, of course, we didn't have) and the hotel wouldn't let us check in because the room wasn't registered in the right name. Meanwhile, the roads coated with ice.....but all in a day of travels for jetsetter Alex, who took it all in stride.
As for advice? Try not to cry and next time, we'll try Baltimore in the spring time.

The Thanksgiving Open
The table was set, the family was there, the turkey was stuffed....and then the tennis ball was lobbed into the air. It recoiled off the glasses and richocetted off the salad, then it sliced across the plate and landed with a plop. As the family circled the table with giving thanks and counting blessing, it was the bounce of the ball that made Alex's Thanksgiving Day complete.
But, as the family rallied around the food and Alex carved the ball down the table, I knew that I was the one that had already hit the ultimate Grandslam: Alex, Family, Home and Love. In tennis, love means nothing; in life, love means everything.
With another year of matches won and lost, here's a tip for any holiday....don't mix your long stem glassware where with your toddler -- something will break.
My Skype address is....., Find me on Facebook.......
Every 21st Centurty kid needs the basics: cell phone, laptop, skype address, Facebook page, personal website and email account. Alex is 100% covered with all forms of technology. You are guaranteed to reach him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week...just don't call at nap time when all communications are temporarily suspended by mom.
Perhaps I should have worried at 6 months, when Alex knew how to work the remote control from his walker. By one year, he would run at lightning speed to answer any ringing phone. And, at still less than 2 years, he likes to check his blog, skype with his new friends Noam & Lisa, talk endlessly on the phone with Grandma, and check out his favorite video. For better and for worse, 21st century moms are blazing new trails and our children are right behind us in ways never known before. Alex isn't just packing his backpack with me, he's also checking the blackberry.
I'm sure the experts will soon report this is all detrimental. After all, research already tells us that Baby Einsteins will harm our children. So, what's a mom to do? Every major toy imported from China this year was loaded with lead tainted paint, which, by the way, that is every toy. Some brands of baby formula and all brands of infant cold medicine were recalled from the shelves by the FDA. Predators are stalking our children on the internet. No child is to be left behind, but US schools are slipping further behind worldwide comparisons year-after-year. It's enough to wreck havoc on any parent's heart.
Alex and I like to take it one day at a time with a trip to the park, a dunk in the pool, a walk around the neighborhood, some jumping at the Gymboree, or just a few dozen laps around the kitchen island. We turn off the phones, the TV, the computer, the blackberry and we have some fun and run. We eat healthy snacks. We try to read, not just throw, our books. We brush our teeth. We play, and play, and play. We do the best we can. Oh, and, then...we check our email too.

Oasis of Peace
When Alexander was only 2 months old, he took his first trip to the Middle East where he visited the Old City of Jerusalem and the village of Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam, the only place in the world where Palestinians and Jews have made a determined effort to live, work and educate their children together with mutual respect and genuine equality for all people. Here is a video -- with special guest appearance by Alex (watch and listen closely) -- as we jetset around the world sharing the message that peace is possible!

Trick or Treat?
Walking for Hope
One Saturday this fall, Alex walked three miles for peace as a part of the annual Walk for Hope (http://www.bethecause.org/walksite/). Alongside a breadth of organizations interested in changing our planet, Alex walked for Palestinian children who have lost arms, legs, eyes and more as the result of violent conflict. The Palestinian Children's Relief Fund (http://www.pcrf.net/first.html) is seeking medical support so that children may know another future -- one free of pain. And, Alex walked for Jews and Arabs who've made a determined effort to live, work and raise their children together in the "Oasis of Peace" Neve Shalom/Wahat al-Salam (http://www.oasisofpeace.og/). It's taken for granted that Alex is growing up in a home learning about equality, respect, cooperation and genuine peace for all peoples. In the Arab-Jewish village, "Oasis of Peace," they are teaching it one person at a time.
Spending only the last short leg in his stroller, Alex walked for peace, for hope. The power of hope should not be underestimated. In moments of severe crisis, it is hope that keeps humans living and believing that things can be different. So, the next time you think the situation in the Middle East or the world is hopeless, that there is nothing you can do…think again. If Alex can do it, then so can you. With all the miles that Alex has flown and strolled, these may just be the three most important of all.

Hasta La Vista, Baby
Now that he's approaching the terrible 2s, it's harder to make a professional presentation at an international conference when your child is running laps around the auditorium. After all, when do you leap off the stage to make sure that he doesn't fall off the chairs he's climbed onto? Should you hold him in your arms in front of a crowd of a few hundred to answer questions? At what point do you step out of the round table discussion when you can, and everyone in the hall can, hear him screaming rooms away? How tolerant is the Board of Trustees when you have to stop the meeting to clean up the cheerios, and chips, and juice ground into the board table? And, when do you pretend he's not your kid and just let the person who kindly volunteered to 'watch' him for you take the heat? (All true Alex and mom stories!)
A few weeks ago, Alex was left behind for the first time in the arms of loving friends for 48 hours when dad and mom's schedules collided and we jetted off to different parts of the US. I worried for weeks prior, documented endless details for babysitters, stocked the house with enough food, toys and other resources to last for weeks, and then left. I spend most of the flight imaging every worst case scenario – earthquakes, hurricanes, plane crashes, car accidents, and a few more less realistic disasters. I ticked off the trip hour-by-hour, refrained from calling to 'check in' every 10 minutes, and hoped for the best. In the end, everyone survived. Alex missed his parents. The babysitters should get purple stars for their efforts. And, even I endured.
Next week, Alex will stay home alone again as I fly south, and dad flies north. I'm no less worried than last time, but at least I know we'll make it through the experience….oh, unless I get kidnapped by the Mexican mafia, attacked by chupacabras, or detained by immigration. Until then…check out our ChaChaCha (below). Hasta La Vista, Baby!

Stuck in an Ant Hole on Labor Day Weekend
Labor Day Weekend is the one weekend a year when this traveling mom prefers to keep her bags unpacked and stay home for some local fun instead. (Why battle all those novice travelers through the security lines at the airport, or spend the holiday stuck on the I-5?)
The Kidspace Children's Museum in Pasadena, CA is highly hyped in my new "Fun Places to Go with Kids" book and seemed like a good place to escape the heat. At first glance, I was disappointed, and wondered why I had dropped the $8 a person when the Children's Department at IKEA offers more. (Last weekend, Alex refused to leave the store.) And, I suppose it was technically 25 degrees cooler inside the museum than the 100 plus degree blazing heat wave, but it wasn't quite the cool expectation I had in mind. Then, we ventured past the baby room, where staff did try to get kids to sing and dance, and got to the big kid exhibits and burned off some steam.
Alex cheerfully climbed three full stories to the top of the Rain Drop Tower, (big clear circles representing giant raindrops that spiral around), jumped into the driver's seat of a full-size jeep for some off road adventure, and then he found his way into an ant hole. From the basement of the museum, a child can enter the hole through an ultra-tiny opening, and then wiggle their way through, in total darkness, up one story and pop out through the top of an ant hill. Alex had made his way to the opening of the hole again and again, watching child after child find their way through. At one point, I had nudged him in and thought he might actually give it try. But, then when another little boy used his powers of persuasion…."But dad, I don't just want you to crawl in there with me, I need you to crawl in," I decided that maybe Alex needed me to lead the way.
So, down on hands-and-knees, and still crouching lower, I crawled into the darkness with Alex close behind. We slowly made our way to the top of the ant egg pile, pushed off the other little boy who had convinced us to try it, but then Alex didn't know which way to go and the tears started to flow. It didn't look good. Who do you call for help in situations like this? There's no emergency call box on the ant expressway. (Suddenly, I was the novice traveler.) But, quickly, like the Queen ant herself, I grabbed Alex and "dug" our way up through the hole.
We didn't brave the heat to check out the 2-acre backyard of the museum with mazes, ponds, tricycle paths and trains. And we'll save the Nature Center for a visit in about 4 years. We could have saved the 50 mile round trip and instead gone to the local mall to play, but then Alex wouldn't know where ants live, and mommy wouldn't be reminded that it's easy to want to rush your child into trying out all the bigger kid adventures even when it's really best to cherish all he can do, and all he can't do, now.

Digging for Dinos and Ghosts in Utah
We rushed immediately to Utah's Hogel Zoo in Salt Lake City to discover the Ghost of the Bayou – a rare white alligator on special loan for a limited time only. Discovered in 1987 southwest of New Orleans, there are only 18 white alligators known to exist worldwide. Alex raced by the gator at warp speed, but if you can get your kid to slow down, the zoo is also home to red pandas, nose-to-nose views of white rhinos, peccaries and other exotics.
To take a giant leap back in time, we headed about 30 minutes south of SLC to the Museum of Ancient Life to see a Supersaurus, an ancient sea turtle, and the bones of a pre-historic gigantic sloth. Zooming up and down the museum's Jurassic Hall, Alex dodged Brachiosaurus, stegosaurus, and even eluded a couple of T-Rexes. While other junior-paleontologists excavated at erosion tables complete with sand, flowing water and mini-dinos or dug for bones in the museum's own mini-quarry, we tried hard just to not climb into the exhibits.
We'll probably have to repeat this trip in a couple of years when little Alex is not seeking to set new speed records, but he did learn a new word this weekend – "awesome."

Blowing Kisses and Splashing Around

Reward: Lost Dog...please call!
When did I become this woman? I am frantically and meticulously retracing every step I took through a huge warehouse store searching for my son's favorite toy, Coco. Alex doesn't even realize Coco is missing – yet. But, he will later tonight when he tries to fall asleep, and this little ragged animal is no where to be found. Given the possibility of even more lost sleep on my end as I worry about how I'll try to explain to Alex that Coco "went away to some place safe," I think I'd rather lose my wallet. Credit cards are replaceable. Coco is not. You can negotiate with the bank. You cannot with your kid.
Traveling with children means lugging half the toy box too, keeping a careful inventory of what's they've stocked for the trip, and most importantly, never, ever losing sight of that special toy. A few holidays back, before I had my own kid, my nephew's favorite GI Joe was chewed to pieces by a family dog. It totally ruined the day. I didn't quite "get" how devastating it was to lose an $8 toy, but today as I raced up-and-down the aisles all I could think about was putting a dog tag on that little puppy with a plea to be called if found. Big Reward!
What to do if you see a Grizzly Bear...
The road into Denali starts out paved and two way, but by mile 64, at the Fish Creek Turnaround, you will have been weaved on a refurbished, painted green school bus up, down and around a steep, gravel, windy, one-lane path that looks like rock is added annually to replace what was washed away during the 9 month winter. If you don't look down, or think too hard about it – it's awesome. I guess that's why they tell you to bring the car seat.
Alaska is stunning, and Denali, meaning 'tall one,' boasts North America's highest mountain at 20,320 feet. It is one of the most magnificent places on earth. There are about 300 grizzly bears in the park, and signs posted to remind you to be alert. Here are the rules if you see a grizzly bear:
* Don't run.
* Back away slowly.
* Should the bear approach or charge you – do not run.
* If a grizzly makes contact with you, play dead.
* If the attack is prolonged, fight back vigorously.
It doesn't say what to do with your child. I'd recommend you just stay on the bus.

3-2-1 Blast-Off
If you ever want to know what it feels like to launch into outer space, then you'll have to take your aspiring astronaut to Kennedy Space Center (KSC), and ride the new Shuttle Launch Experience that will lean you back, blast you off and make you feel like you are traveling at 4g's into the Milky Way. Since I tend to get freaked-out by something as tame as a tilt-a-whirl, I used my "get-out-of-the-activity-because-I-have-to-take-care-of-the-baby" card and Alex & skipped it altogether. But, the rest of the family said it was totally cool.
Alex's dad is a genuine NASA rocket scientist, so a family trip to check out the rockets was almost inevitable. Almost forty years ago, Kennedy Space Center was the place where humans lifted off the Earth to travel to the Moon. And, today it is the place where astronauts launch aboard the Space Shuttle and travel to space.
In our visit there, we barely scratched the surface of everything there is to see and do. Alex cruised through the Rocket Garden in the stroller, got his photo snapped in front of the Vehicle Assembly Building where they put the shuttles together before placing them on crawlers that go at super-slow speeds to carry them to the launch pads, and ran laps below the Apollo / Saturn V Rocket, the most complex machine ever built. Where else on the planet can your toddler do that?
I can't wait to go back when Alex is a little bit older. But, who knows, maybe someday he'll actually fly into outer space!?

Bye, bye plane
People stare at you when you have a baby. Some of them smile in admiration for the cutsy with you, but others glare in disdain for whatever your kid is doing. As more and more airlines continue to lose their cool, the only thing we moms can do is try to ignore the stares and glares, and do what we can to keep our little ones happy. Here's the stories so you know what you are dealing with:
Mom Says She, Toddler Kicked Off Plane
A woman said she and her toddler son were kicked off a plane after she refused a flight attendant's request to medicate her son to get him to quiet down and stop saying "Bye bye, plane."
Kate Penland, of suburban Atlanta, said she and her 19-month-old son, Garren, were flying from Atlanta to Oklahoma last month on a Continental Express flight that made a stop in Houston. As the plane was taxiing in Houston en route to Oklahoma, "he started saying 'Bye, bye plane,' Penland told WSB-TV in Atlanta. The flight attendant objected, she said.
"At the end of her speech, she leaned over the gentleman beside me and said, 'It's not funny anymore. You need to shut your baby up,'" Penland told WSB-TV in Atlanta.
When Penland asked the woman if she was joking, she said the stewardess replied, "You know, it's called baby Benadryl."
"And I said, 'Well, I'm not going to drug my child so you have a pleasant flight,'" Penland told the TV station.
Crying Child and Parents Removed From Flight
AirTran Ejected 3-Year-Old and Her Parents After Tantrum
Every parent has dealt with a child having a tantrum and causing embarrassment at the worst times -- in a grocery store, in a restaurant, and at weddings.
For a Massachusetts mom and dad, however, their toddler's tantrum cost them their flight home
On Jan. 14, 3-year-old Elly Kulesza and her parents, Julie and Gerald, were kicked off an AirTran Airways flight from Florida to their Worcester, Mass., home because Elly would not stop crying.
Elly, who had been a model passenger on the flight to Florida four days earlier, began to cry uncontrollably once she got on the plane, throwing a temper tantrum on the floor.
AirTran employees demanded that the Kuleszas calm down their child. When Elly didn't stop crying, the crew banned the Kuleszas from flying for 24 hours. Later, AirTran offered an apology to the family along with a refund on their tickets.
Nine months pregnant woman turned off bus because of a toddler tantrum
Joanne Uzzell was not having a good day. Nine months pregnant and on the point of giving birth – she had been to the shops with her two year old daughter Molly. The journey home was just half a mile, but hugely pregnant and with two bags of shopping and a petulant toddler, Joanne took the sensible decision to take a bus home.
But when daughter Molly threw a toddler tantrum on the bus, Joanne was told to either calm her daughter down or get off the bus. 'Molly had a temper tantrum and I could not make her stop — but the driver went potty and told me to shut her up,' Joanne told The Sun. 'I was trying my best to calm her down but the driver started tutting and huffing and puffing.
'Molly is two years old — what did he expect. I was nine months pregnant and had a crying child, but to contend with that sort of treatment was the last thing I needed.'
"He then pulled over and said that he couldn't drive as he couldn't concentrate. I asked him if he expected me to get off and he smirked and nodded. I felt like I had no choice." The Wilts and Dorset bus company have since apologised to Joanne saying; 'We expect our drivers to behave courteously to all customers. We will try to ensure this does not happen again.'

Don't Let Your Kid Get Eaten by an Alligator!
So what's the difference between an alligator and a crocodile? It's mostly the snout. What's the difference between Gatorland and one of those giant theme parks? Not having to keep your kid on a leash. Alex ran around the park carefree with happy giggles. He splashed at Gator Gully, rode the Gatorland Express and had up-close-encounters with alligators, crocodiles, emus, turtles, goats, llamas, parrots and more. We weren't rushed, didn't have to stand in line, spent way less money and could see it all. Only along the adventure walk around the gator-packed lake did I have to make sure he kept his hands and toes inside the fences.
For the jet set mom, it's tempting to seek the big adventure. For baby, everything is a big adventure. So, if you are dying to take your child – alone – to one of those big theme parks, make sure she/he can handle the heat, the people and the time it will take to drive, park and explore. Otherwise, for the little guys and gals, try something more their size. For us – a visit with giant alligators was the perfect stop. Mickey & Minnie and the Magic Castle will be there for the next trip.

Singapore Bling
At the Southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, Singapore is just 85 miles north of the equator. It takes about 19 hours to fly from Los Angeles to Singapore. If you have a 6-month-old baby on your lap, that's 1140 minutes or 68,400 seconds. You'll start counting the time somewhere over Hawaii, but you still won't be half-way there. Singapore Airlines gave Alex a welcome bag filled with diapers, wet wipes and an adorable little toy, and once we arrived at the Changai Airport, we found private changing rooms for moms with babes. So, it's worth the trip.
And, once you get there, you can have breakfast with Orang utans, howl with hyenas, kiss a rare pink dolphin or dive with dugongs like Gracie. From insects and butterflies, bird parks, night safaris and underwater worlds, the various zoos and botanical gardens of Singapore are simply not to be missed even if you are not an animal or nature fanatic. (We are wildlife warriors, so it was like paradise!)
Alex gives Singapore two thumbs-up for being stroller friendly. Alone we cruised the downtown, scouted across the bridges along the river walk, got up-close to the Merlion on the waterfront, and even kicked back for a Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel. But, while the 'sling' will set you back a good $20, the 'bling' will set you back much more. Shopping is not for the novice. Raid the saving account before the trip, bring extra bags, and plan nap times carefully. (Note: If you are seeking souvenirs, get to the airport early – the best shop with everything you need is there!)
Singapore was one of the first international trips with Alex. For me, it proved that I could still do it all – be a mom and see the world. I was excited to see everything, but didn't know how travel would be with a toddler in tow. I learned to balance what I wanted to see and do with Alex's needs too. So, what's the best advice? The official website for what to do and see in Singapore gives great information about a great many things to do. But if you asked Alex for his best bets he'll recommend you stand lobby of the Pan Pacific Hotel watching the six glass-lit elevators race up-and-down. Mommy and baby both found their bling.

China's 'Forbidden City' forbids Babies?
The Forbidden City was the Chinese Imperial Palace from the mid-Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It is located in the center of Beijing, China. The complex is comprised of 9,999 rooms -- and, what feels like that many tourists. But, there are no babies allowed inside the Forbidden City. (OK, that is absolutely not true. But, I didn't see any. In fact, I didn't see any babies in China at all.)
When Alex was 6-months-old, he visited Beijing in intense summer heat. At every step, we were followed, photographed, and stopped by throngs of Chinese excited to see our little boy. If you ever want to know what it feels like to be stalked by paparazzi, then take your baby to China. With over 1.31 billion people, China has the largest population of any country in the world. The crunch of people on the roads and sidewalks is felt as you ping-pong your way down any street. Even the tourist spots are shoulder-to-shoulder with Chinese teens and adults snapping pictures. But there were no babies, toddlers or small children to be seen. The Chinese prefer to keep their children at home. And, that made us a big hit!
At Tian'anmen Square we were followed by excited teenagers. Navigating the stroller through the main gates for the Forbidden City became a bigger challenge as everyone tried to sneek a peek inside. On the exquisite grounds of the Summer Palace a police officer actually had to break up the crowd gathered around us. At the panda exhibit at the zoo, there were more people taking pictures of us then taking pictures of the near extinct pandas. And even on the hottest of days, as we made the ultimate climb up a very small portion of the 4,000 mile-long Great Wall of China, heads turned and cameras from all directions were pointed at little Alex.
I can't help but wonder how many Chinese scrapbooks, camera phones and even blogs my son is posted on. The chance to visit China was a trip that I'll cherish a lifetime. But more than the Ming Tombs, beautiful jade factories or the anticipation of the 2008 Olympics slated for Beijing, what I'll remember most is the thousands of smiles Alex brought to the faces of China!

No Sex in the City
The worst part about watching the show in re-runs is not that the chronological order is out of sync, but that there's no sex! Turns out if I was watching the show when it was on the air, it would be a lot more fun. So, what's the point of living the single life vicariously for less than 30 minutes a night through four hip, smart, sexy New York women, if you don't get to live to the max?
I remember my single days -- especially those enjoying the late night scenes in Manhattan --fondly. Those memories forever bring a ridiculous chestshire cat smile to my face. In those days, I could do, eat, sleep, and drink whatever & whenever I wanted. I was completely carefree, willing to try everything and seeking fun. I only had to worry about myself and my friends.
Today, my life runs on a clock....baby's clock. Everything revolves around baby's eating, playing, diaper changes, good moods and screaming tears. I can only leave the house Monday through Friday after the nanny arrives and have to race home daily by 4:29pm to release the nanny on time. In between, I have a handful of hours to work, visit the dentist, get a haircut, squeeze in lunches friends, work some more, run any impossible errands that you just can't handle with the baby and drive to every point in between on over-crowded Los Angeles freeways.
Most days hang in a delicate balance. As long as nothing serious goes out of whack, I can manage it all. But, then there's those days when the nanny can't make it....whack! The world stops. Instead of pushing through hundreds of emails, juggling conference calls, and being late for meetings, I'm off to the park. And, its on those days (after I cope with the fact that nothing will get done) that I realize its just like my single days. As Alex and I push his little red car through the neighborhood, practice swimming or climb on the play equipment in the mall with all the other mommies that we can do whatever we want, whenever we want. We are free -- to jump, and scream, and smile and laugh, and play!
This week, I took Alex to the pool and as he wavered between utter fear and complete enjoyment, with the cool water splashing around him, he clutched me tightly, gazed into my arms, and kissed me again and again. And, in that moment, I realize that I don't need to live my life through Sex in the City, because no man can beat those little baby boy kisses. I've got the whole world in my arms.
If someone forced me to pick my Sex in the City personality, I'd be a realitively easy match for the overworked, type-A, hyper yet methodical character Miranda on the show. (It doesn't help that we're both redheads, and she's the one who ends up having a kid by the end of the series.) But, by the end Miranda seems to get that life is more than work, more than just enjoying time with your friends, but allowing yourself to be who you are -- even when you least expected it.
On the rare occasion I get back to NYC, I long for those moments walking its streets, watching the people, absorbing the smells, the noise and even the silence of the late night. I miss the Broadway shows and the expensive dinners. I seek out old friends who remind me of those times and carry me back to those moments. And in those moments, I can imagine my old single life again.
But, I love that its a memory. And, I wouldn't trade this moment -- kissing Alex in the swimming pool -- for any memory.
Sippy Cup: Weapon of Mass Destruction
Let's imagine the scene .... After a few hours of sleep, I've gotten myself and my son somehow packed meticulously into the car in the wee hours of the morning. We've got the car seat, the stroller, the pack'n'play, the big bag we're going to check, the diaper bag, my computer bag, and all of our liquids packaged carefully into one quart size clear bags. We've managed to get to the off airport parking, from the off airport parking to the airport, checked in our bag and we are heading through security. We've placed all of our items on the conveyer belt (as everyone who can carefully avoids getting behind us in line). We've got the car seat, the stroller, the diaper bag, my computer bag, my computer, our shoes (baby shoes too!), our jackets, the baby blanket and all of liquids strewn from one end to the other. I've carefully minded the 3.4 oz rule. (Being just a little neurotic, I've printed out and brought with me the posting from the TSA website.) And, then that last sip of water that is still left in the sippy cup clutched in my son's hand escapes my mind. It could be because its the only thing keeping him from having a complete meltdown and managing to stay semi-sweet before we board our endless hour flight.
That's when TSA catches me and I've been marked for the list of terrorists -- my weapon of choice? The ingenious sippy cup -- because you know, they will never look there for that secret potion I've mixed up and my son is chugging away at. When they go to seize the WMD, I've "accidentially" spilled its contents and now I'm on the national news.
The moral of this story? Moms of the world -- don't let them know you are human or you might end up with a video of yourself blasted on CNN. Just another way to be judged to see if you're a good mom.

Trails are something that I approach with mixed feelings, especially if they are prefixed with the word "Power". I enjoy finding caches in new places where there is something of interest to see and I enjoy walking on walking trails. Jumping in and out of a car every 200m just to grab a micro in a ditch for hours on end is not my idea of fun. So, power trails that I can walk along are fine, especially if it is a loop track of between 10 and 20km. The problem with linear trails is that I have to walk the whole way back to my car from wherever I leave the trail, thus doubling the length of my walk.
Until recently the closest loop trail was about 70km away from home but it was overshadowed by several long power trails not that much further away in the Sala/Hedemora area. Last Sunday afternoon a new short circular trail appeared in Sandviken called Slí na Sláinte (Path to health) that contained nine caches and as I had nothing else special to do I thought I would do the walk of 5km. The trail followed the canal into Sandviken from the river Jädraån and is a popular walking track for locals.
To my surprise I was first out and got FTF's on all nine caches in the series. What I enjoyed most was the walk itself. The sun was shining and all the summer flowers were in full bloom so the walk was pleasant. Even the number of mosquitoes buzzing around was manageable. I used to live less than 1km from the track for nearly 25 years, and walked here often. However, I moved so I haven't walked here for at least 13 years.
A couple of days later I had a meeting in Sandviken after work so I had a couple of hours to kill and what better way than to find some caches? This gave me the opportunity to do the "The Knuven Challenge Trail" consisting of 6 caches. I decided to do it in reverse order as it was where the closest parking spot was. There had been some showers in the afternoon but the rain had stopped and the temperature was around 15C when I set off. I found the first two caches in the dry but as I started off towards #3 I observed that the path was rather muddy and that the mosquitoes were out in full force.
As I arrived at #3 the rain started again and before I had got half way to #4 I was soaked. Retrieval and replacement of #3 was easier that it appeared at first but that was because I had the right tools with me. 🙂 Don't be fooled by the photo. The door was twice my height!
I continued on and spent a good twenty minutes looking for #2 but gave up and reported a DNF. #1.5 was also a cache that took me a further 15minutes or so to find but that wasn't due to any high degree of difficult but because it was really pouring down and I had been befriended by a huge black dog that had appeared from nowhere and wanted to play. I wasn't too bothered except that it kept jumping up and putting it's paws on my shoulders. i.e. a big dog! Once the dog disappeared the cache magically appeared in front of me (which is where it had been all the time of course).
The final cache, #1, was a humdinger! I spent another 20 minutes exploring a huge "glacial erratic" to use the correct term. In layman's terms, a huge isolated block of stone. It was only when I crawled in under it that my perseverance paid off. Not only was I wet but I was now muddy and green and had to walk back to my car along the same muddy path.
Luckily, the rain eased off when I got to the car so I could spend the remaining time before my meeting finding a few drive by caches and drying out. Most of the mud had dried off enough for me to brush it off my trousers. My jacket was left in the car. Only my squelching shoes gave the game away to the others at the meeting. (I hope). 😉 Despite the rain and the tricky hides I had fun.

105.7, 98.9, 88.7, 101.5, 103.3, 94.5, 107.5
Some people refuse to believe that an aging Kombi van is capable of driving next door, let alone a return journey of 2,000 kms.
But not only did my Kombi get me home, it also managed the return leg of the journey carrying the additional weight of 28 New Yorkers, a whole pile of books and a notebook protector. And it did so in great style: timeless, classic style. And it did so with speed: timeless, classic, barely adequate amounts of speed.
Somehow in the last ten days I seem to have purchased 46 books. By a curious mathematical coincidence, there were 36 emails were waiting for me when I got back home. 46 and 36 ... these are different numbers. I'm not much of a mathematician, but how likely is that?
Numbers have been on my mind all day, as I tried to listen to JJJ all the way to Melbourne. In Sydney Triple J is broadcast on 105.7, but on the way south its frequency keeps changing, and it becomes hard to follow. There are also gaps in the reception, owing to Australia being quite large. There are numbers available to express Australia's size, which is fortunate, but not for me. As a mathematician, I'm the kind who stands in a deserted stretch of country, pointing to the vastness. As I've often said, binomial equations and parabolic functions are all very well, but sometimes it's much, much easier to point.
Anyway, to get back to the long drive in an old car with a dodgy radio, when I couldn't find JJJ, I had to endure the horror of country radio stations.
What astounds me most about them is their advertising, which appears to have been inspired by Stone Age ideas about hitting other people in the head. Country ads tend to assume that the listener doesn't know anything about anything, and is also deaf. So there's a lot of shouting, and a huge amount of repetition. Initially I listened with great hilarity to men with loud voices yelling about such-and-such a shop in the main street of Benalla, and then I turned the radio off and devoted a moment's silence to the victims of demented, evil advertising.
One last mathematical postscript: 46 books in ten days is an average of 4.6 a day. Yep, that's going to be a tricky number to make snappy jokes about.
So what about this: add up 105.7, 98.9, 88.7, 101.5, 103.3, 94.5 and 107.5. This gives 700.1. Now for the incredible coincidence: this is also a tricky number to make snappy jokes about.Posted by Sean Hegarty at 04:26 PM in the Kombi vans category | Comments (0)
