apartments above shop3/5
We need a bigger shop. I have an opportunity to build a new shop in a downtown location. I'd like to build 4-5 apartments on the second level. Rentals are scarce around here right now and if apartments are rented it would more than cover the payment on what I'd need to borrow to build. Zoning is mixed use commercial /residential. Light industrial is allowed (up to 8,000 sq ft) and must have a walk-in showroom. It's a small town, downtown is well past its prime. Planning commission is in love with the idea. Talk me out of this.
Oh no... Don't do that....
I would not want to be responsible for the happiness of tenants above a woodworking shop- noise and fumes would not be apartment friendly at least not without a very expensive design & build. Even then the risk is not something I'd want. I can only see trouble in this. Very expensive trouble. Good luck with your decision.
I don't know, people live right next to the elevated trains in Chicago, but that is CHICAGO. What's the advantage of living in your downtown area that "is well past it's prime"? And as mentioned, wait till you kick on the dust cyclone outside their window, and then the thickness planer, and the finish booth fan! All that outside their windows? I'd say your insurance agent would be the first person I would talk to. I bet you have to sprinkle your shop and the apartments because of the fire risk. Personally, doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
Is there anything similiar in the city or nearby?
I don't know of any woodshop nearby but there's plenty of auto shops with similar. All the old buildings in the downtown have occupied apartments above
How is that working our for them, how is the occupancy rate?
Mind ye well the insurance implications.
I think there are a lot of variables that will come into play here that without knowing would be hard to say one way or the other. I mean having a small custom furniture shop with a couple people making beautiful one of a kind pieces of furniture is a whole different kind of shop than a shop with 15 guys slamming out kitchens. Are these "luxury" apartments or just inexpensive studios? How are tenants going to react when its busy so the dust collectors and heavy machines are kicking on at 8am on a Saturday morning?
Just way too many scenarios for anyone to offer any concrete advice. What I will say though is depending on your particular area you may do well with artist spaces. If it's a less than ideal part of a city it could be a perfect place for them to find inexpensive space. And in my experience artists, especially the young starting out type, will deal with just about anything to find good cheap space to live and work in. My first shop was in an old industrial building in the city and I had people living above me for years. We got along very well and really never had any problems. As a general stereotype artists that I had contact were just generally easy to deal with. Now fast forward a couple decades and I have tenants in an older home in middle class neighborhood. I dread young people just moving out on their own into there first apartment like the plague. You'll get calls for anything and everything. These people can't change their own lightbulbs! But I digress, I think you need to really sit and think through all the details off what's going to be involved. I'd also recommend finding a good real estate rental agent to talk to. These people know the rental scene in your area the best and if you find a good one can offer good advice on what type of people you'll get for the type of space your thinking of building. We found a good one several years ago and life had been a LOT easier since we started using her.
good luck,
It could be a good long term investment.
After things go sideways...
You've got an apartment for yourself, one for your recently divorced wife, and one for each of your adult children when they move back home.
You are playing chess while the rest of us are playing checkers.
Be aware that you will most likely need a world class firewall separation (ready big $$) between the Industrial and Residential areas.

The Los Angeles Dodgers purchased the contracts of right-handed pitchers Trevor Oaks and Dennis Santana to protect from potentially losing either of the prospects in the upcoming 2017 Rule 5 Draft.
To clear room for Oaks and Santana, the Dodgers designated Josh Ravin for assignment. Grant Dayton, recovering from Tommy John surgery, was claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers' 40-man roster remains full.
Teams had until 5 p.m. PT on Monday to place applicable players on their 40-man rosters. Players initially signed at 18 years old needed to be added within five seasons or they became eligible to be selected in Rule 5.
Those who signed at 19 or older had to be protected within four seasons. Players selected during the Major League portion of the Rule 5 draft cost $50,000 and must spend the entire season on the new team's active roster, or be offered back to their previous club for $25,000.
Oaks was selected by the Dodgers in the seventh round of the 2014 Draft. He went 4-3 with a 3.64 ERA in 16 games (15 starts) for Triple-A Oklahoma City. His last came June 28, because of injury.
Upon returning to the mound one month later, Oaks threw a combined 7.2 innings and allowed six runs (five earned) in three starts (one with Arizona League Dodgers; two with Rookie-level Ogden).
Santana, signed by the Dodgers out of the Dominican Republic, enjoyed a breakout season in which he spent time with High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Tulsa. The 21-year-old went 5-6 with a 3.47 ERA in 17 games (14 starts) for the Quakes before earning a promotion.
With the Drillers, Santana was 3-1 with a 5.51 ERA in seven starts. The games were the first of his career at the Double-A level.
Last November, the Dodgers added Chase De Jong, Kyle Farmer and Jacob Rhame to their 40-man roster ahead of the annual Rule 5 Draft. De Jong was later traded to the Seattle Mariners, and Rhame was the player to be named later sent to the New York Mets for Curtis Granderson.

The last time David Robertson was named to replace Mariano Rivera was in 2012 after Rivera had sustained a season-ending knee injury. Robertson made only a handful of appearances before he suffered a strained oblique muscle, and the job of closer went instead to Rafael Soriano.
Then on Sunday in Toronto, as Robertson was recording his second save of this season, he injured his groin, and the closer's baton was passed again, this time to Shawn Kelley. On Monday, the Yankees placed Robertson, who turns 29 on Wednesday, on the 15-day disabled list and Manager Joe Girardi called on Kelley, who earned his first career save in the Yankees' 4-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles and became the first pitcher to record a save at Yankee Stadium since Rivera last Sept. 18.
Rivera was on hand Monday, throwing out a ceremonial first pitch before the game.
"It's good I didn't blow it, right?" Kelley said. "He was here. He would have been mad at me."
Robertson had a magnetic resonance imaging test Monday, which revealed a Grade 1 strain. He said he expected to return from the D.L. at the earliest possible date.
"It's definitely a little frustrating," he said. "It seems like something always happens to me. But there's nothing I can do about it. There's no way I could go out there and feel 100 percent and do what I do with the way I'm feeling right now."
Girardi said that Kelley would get some of the save opportunities in Robertson's absence, but indicated he may go with matchups. Adam Warren has also been impressive in his three appearances, and so has the left-hander Matt Thornton, also with three outings.
"Regardless of the situation or the role, my job is to get outs," Kelley said. "The quicker I can do that and get off the mound and into the dugout, the better it is for the team."

Fear is an emotion triggered by an impending or perceived threat or danger. It is something that we create in ourselves and is not an innate characteristic. Oftentimes we find ourselves in a state of fear as we go through a transition period in our lives like our first day at a new school, buying our first home, or even our first time flying. I experienced this same fear as I began my new career as a teacher.
With a fluctuating economy, complaints from other first time teachers about the lack of support from parents, students, and administrative staff, and the extensive amount of coursework that needs to be completed to receive a certification to teach, my fear began to trump my once cheerful perception of being a difference maker. I know I am not alone. There are many career-switchers who desire to teach and make a difference in the lives of youth, but fear that their route to become an educator may be too overwhelming, and not worth the hassle.
According to the National Center for Education Information, by the year 2006 more than 250,000 people in the United States had become educators through alternative licensing programs; Other studies reveal that a third of teachers who ventured into the profession leave within the first three years, and half of them leave during the first five years. This movement demonstrates a high demand in professionals who seek careers as educators, but a high turnover in professionals who are willing to commit to the job.
In a one-on-one interview with a former high school teacher who entered into the profession through an alternative licensing program, the idea of teaching was not her idea of making a difference. The difference she set out to make included a way of making fast cash to pay off student loans accumulated during her four years of undergraduate studies. She spent the next four years after college working as an accountant for a major logistics company that paid her a substantial amount of money. That was a pretty excellent deal for someone with increased debt, but not for someone who despised everything about her unfulfilling job. She wanted to experience another outlet to express her knowledge for accounting, and wanted a fulfilling career that would allow her to showcase her talent. For her, that new job was teaching. Teaching was a new avenue for her to break loose, and to share her creative ideas to young minds that were thirsty for knowledge. In her interview, she responded: "much to my surprise, the check that I received not only came once a month, but it was half of what I used to make."
She said that she wanted to share her knowledge, and educate children, but she also wanted a live a certain lifestyle. As she put it: "teaching was not cutting it." Five years later, she left her teaching career, for another accounting position. Admittedly, working as a corporate professional has its perks: larger salaries, longer lunch breaks, company cars, and company travel among many other amenities. But, these amenities are far from what a career-switcher receives from teaching. These perks include fulfillment by making a positive impact on students through engaging lessons, and by forming healthy relationships that would help students become productive, educated citizens.
Embarking on a career as a teacher can be offset by the harsh reality that the actual job demands more than simply a person's love for children. The same motivation and expectations that lead me to my decision to teach, also lead to my fear of not knowing what the new job would require of me.
Like many other careers, teaching is a process that requires experience, education, and an enthusiasm to learn about the details needed to be successful in your new position. The process to become a teacher is usually accomplished through an alternative teacher certification program. Found in over 40 states in the U.S., alternative certification programs include classes arranged to help non-traditional candidates complete coursework pertaining to the education field, internships, and examinations for full certification — giving each individual candidate the same opportunities as other students who have completed this process through traditional programs.
Obtaining a license to teach through an alternative licensing program can be discouraging because of the program's extensive requirements. In North Carolina, people seeking to teach through their alternative licensing programs must take and pass a teacher certification exam, have 24 or more hours of subject-related coursework completed through a traditional college program, and take an additional 15-30 hours of education-related course work to obtain a license to teach. My collegiate experience included 124-credit hours (equivalent to an estimated 41 classes) relating to journalism and marketing. It was a hard bite to chew when I was told that I was required to take an additional 18 courses, a teacher certification exam, and complete an internship for evaluation for full licensure to become a teacher. Not that I did not understand the grueling process to become a teacher, it was the simple fact that my expectations were not even close to the reality that I was experiencing.
Additional coursework and testing can leave career-changers with a feeling of fear and doubt that they would have the time or patience to be dedicated to the task to become an educator. But, taking those additional courses can be quite rewarding, as some programs are designed to award master-level degrees to teacher-candidates upon their completion of the program. The programs are designed to weed out the committed from those who jump from one career to the next. But, those who are dedicated prove to make a lasting impression on students and staff with innovation lessons found through these teacher-preparation programs.
Although routes to teacher certification lead to hopeful careers, other teacher-preparation programs require those seeking teaching positions through non-traditional methods to become hired by school districts prior to beginning the teaching program - a sure hassle while many Americans are facing a downward sloping economy. In a March issue of the Charlotte Observer, school officials announced and estimated that there would be a 1,000 teachers and staff members laid off from their jobs due to district budget cuts because of our fluctuating economy.
With budgets decreasing in school districts across the country, many new teachers are hit with the harsh decision of selecting a career path that will not only provide the best outcome for their future, but one that will support their families as well. Instead of looking for ways out of the diminishing education job force, it is imperative that career-changers continue to prepare for a future in an occupation that does not seem to be losing its value in our economy. The U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics says that wage and salary for the teaching profession is projected to grow by 11 percent between 2008 and 2018.
While facing unrelenting circumstances and forecasting hardships during an economic downfall, positive outcomes are still on the horizon for prospective educators. One way is through a support system found right in the heart of the school in which the teaching job is found. When I approached my classroom at the beginning of the school year, I panicked at the thought of being unprepared. I did not know where I needed to go to make copies of my students' work, who to call if my computer crashed, where to find extra dry erase pens, and not to mention if a fight transpired.
Thankfully I found support. From the librarian, to the principal, and my mentor teacher, I found help from a plethora of avenues - our school's support staff. From his administrative perspective, Head of School, Thomas R. Hoerr spoke about the need for a strong foundation and support system from school workers who seek to help meet the personal needs of new teachers. He explained in the article, "Meeting New Teachers' Personal Needs", that a "teacher's ability to address and resolve personal challenges goes a long way toward determining personal and professional success." A support system offers encouragement for teachers who are in pursuit of a teaching position and who have a host of worries and fears. The support system offers them a sense of sincerity and eases their fears of teaching.
With program-preparedness and school support, career-switchers are set up for success in their new teaching environment. Emily Feitstritzer, head of the National Center for Alternative Certification, offers a great point when she comments in the March 2009 issue of USA Today about the preparedness among career-switchers to the educational field. "Their maturity makes them more prepared for teaching - they are older and wiser and often have children of their own. Their life experience is also relevant to the classroom." This is definitely a dose of reassurance for a person who is trying to escape the fears that keep them from pursuing a career in education after years of unfulfilling jobs.
Changing careers can pose quite a few challenges, and changing careers to become a classroom teacher poses its own host of challenges. Not be feared, choosing to teach as a second career takes more than a desire to make a difference; it takes a commitment. It has always been my philosophy that the qualified are not called, but the called are qualified. And, I answered my call to become an educator two years ago. I have taken many risks to get to this point, and have consulted many veteran teachers to help me confirm my decision. I have put my fears behind me, and have left a world in pursuit of money, for a world in pursuit of true fulfillment and happiness. It is only my hope that other professionals who choose to teach as a second career take the same leap of faith and relinquish those fears of teaching. With a desire to make a difference, and the dedication to commit to a task larger than oneself, a career-switcher is destined to be successful.

[01] EGYPT - EVACUATION - UNThe United Nations are pulling out of Egypt and, at Larnaca Airport, in Cyprus, the UN peacekeeping force is creating an airlift to evacuate Egypt.
Four planes are expected to land at Larnaca Airport later on Thursday, transporting 148 passengers each.
On Thursday morning, Communications Manager for Hermes Airports Adamos Aspris confirmed reports that the UN had requested the assistance of the Republic of Cyprus and the airport to withdraw members of the force from Egypt.
``Indeed, based on the information we have, it appears that the UN will try to create an air lift today between Larnaca and Cairo,`` Aspris said.
He added that ``two planes will fly to the Egyptian capital, completely empty, will pick up 148 persons each, and will depart for Cyprus,`` adding that, ``if the operation runs smoothly and without delays, the first plane is expected to land at 1300 local time, and the second at 1415 local time.``
Within one-and-a-half hours, the two planes will refuel and take off for Cairo, again completely empty, to pick up another 296 persons between them.
One of the two planes to be used for the operation arrived in Larnaca on Wednesday night.
Aspris said a UN unit was expected in Larnaca to receive and record the UN members to arrive in Cyprus from Egypt.

[03] PRESIDENT - GREECEPresident of the Republic of Cyprus Demetris Christofias will visit Greece on Thursday to meet with the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou.
The meeting will take place in the context of close coordination and cooperation between the two governments on the Cyprus issue and other issues of mutual interest.
The meeting is taking place following the Geneva meeting of President Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu with UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, in the framework of a process aiming at reaching a solution of the Cyprus problem.
[04] BRITAIN - CYPRUS LITURGYBritish Minister for Europe David Lidington has described the interruption of the Christmas Day liturgy in Risokarpaso, in Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus, as ``deeply regrettable.``
He also pointed out that any candidate country that wants EU membership has to apply the democratic values that are central to the European Union, including the freedom to express religion and to worship freely.
Lidington`s remarks came during Foreign and Commonwealth questions in the British Parliament when Conservative MP, Mike Freer, asked on what discussions the Minister has had with his EU counterparts on the disruption of a Christmas day service in Rizokarpaso, Cyprus.
Responding, Lidington said they have not had discussions in an EU context ``on this deeply regrettable incident,`` adding ``my officials in Nicosia have met (the Primate of the Cypriot Church) Archbishop Chrysostomos and made representations to senior political figures in the north of the island to emphasise the importance that we accord to allowing people in all parts of Cyprus to practise their religion freely.``

Editor's note: Whilst everyone is seeking a job promotion and especially to be a leader at their workplace, many forget the heavy challenges that come with it. Tazim Elkington, a paradigm shift expert explains how to go about that leadership role you just landed or are currently eyeing at the workplace.
Fact! A TRUE leader is a person who is authentic.
This is a visionary person who sees further than the tip of his own nose. He is definitely self-engrossed and his 'me/I' is not bigger than the 'we/us'.

What a leader is...
A leader is a person who has solid foundational values he/she lives by without compromising these values. Operates from a place of integrity, responsibility, trust, respect, commitment and communicates effectively. A leader leads by example and makes decisions from a place of equality and equity not from a place of bias.
A leader works on his/her own shortcomings/gaps and raises the level of awareness and consciousness. A leader is someone who one can rely on, trust, respect, believe and know that this person will not take advantage of you.
A leader wants the best for all, not to take from others so he/she can have more. A leader is not based on titles and status.

So who do you consider as true leaders?
Some of the most challenging aspects of being a leader are managing people as we all come in different MIND shapes, sizes, colours, and experiences. Dealing with a diverse set of individuals who each have their own concept of life is not an easy feat I assure you. Due to the uniqueness of each human being, it is like playing roulette with 100 numbers, not just 36.

What happens when you put rocks in a bucket and swing it….lalalala they will unhesitatingly collide!
In real terms, what do we do as human beings? We create conflict. Knowing that conflict is unavoidable what have we been taught to do with conflict? Run or hide or pretend it is not there and hopefully, a Genie will appear and swallow it up. This is not going to happen as we all know.
READ ALSO: Politicians storm Moi University after an 'outsider' was appointed VC
What a good leader will do...
A good leader is confrontationally friendly and deals with conflict. This is such a rare quality as most of us were brought up to be conflict/confrontationally averse. I am not sure how long, how many generations back it goes, however, I know that behaviour has been handed down a while now.
So much of our habituation is based on behaviour that is based on 'saving face' even if it means one is lying through barred teeth. Geez, one would say – what's the point? It is very exhausting to lie, be pretentious, smile when one would rather kick someone and the list could go on for another 10 pages.
Why is it necessary and extremely important to DEAL with conflict rather than sweep it under the rug? Because it never goes away. It will keep crawling out like a stubborn creeper that cannot be disposed of.
READ ALSO: CORD's new super game plan against Jubilee Party gets Raila Odinga's support
Conflict presents an opportunity to resolve issues so that they are dealt with and do not take up any more energy, effort or time. What goes hand in hand with conflict is learning to be honest about how one feels, and being rational about any given situation.
Let's take an example. Two people disagree on your team because of innumerable reasons from having a personality clash to negative competition. The reasons are irrelevant as there will always be reasons for conflict. The point is how to resolve it before it becomes a time bomb that not only affects the two individuals output, performance, and delivery but ultimately affects the entire team.
Would it not be better to resolve it and ensure that this sticky mess goes away?
READ ALSO: 5 times when Uhuru Kenyatta came out as the most humble president ever(photos)
Another example would be in relationships. When two people have an issue it is imperative they discuss it and resolve it or it will become like a never ending cesspit of crap. The outcome of such situations is resentment, lack of trust, disrespect and lies. What is the point of being in a relationship with another if one cannot be honest and deal with a situation that is causing hurt, dissatisfaction, and turmoil?
Leaders are those people who want to create healthy environments regardless of whether it is business or personal. So here is the question, do you behave like a leader in any given situation or like a rat – scurrying away at the first sight of a cat?

I wont lie, when I would travel before the RV and I was just stopping overnight somewhere I wouldn't always get a hotel room. Of course this was when it was just me and my dog, before hubby and definitely before kids! My dog would sleep in the back seat I would put the drivers seat down cuddle up with a pillow grab a few hours of sleep then move on.
It would save me time and money. So Here are the safest places to pull over that I have found!

Summary / TL;DR
999 or 112? It doesn't matter – Ofcom say "'999' and '112' are treated exactly the same way".
Can I call 999/112 if my home mobile network has no signal? Yes, if another network is available, but emergency services won't be able to see your number or call you back.
Can I call 999/112 from a locked mobile phone? If the phone's software supports it, yes (iOS and Android both do).
Can I call 999/112 on a Pay As You Go phone with no credit? Yes, according to Ofcom
Can I text 999/112? Yes, but you need to register first.
Will the 999 operator automatically know where I am? Yes, usually within a relatively large area (mobile phone mast info). If your mobile has iOS 11.3 or Android 9 (Gingerbread) then your phone will try to automatically send more accurate GPS coordinates to emergency services.
There's lot of information and mis-information online about dialling 999 or 112 in a UK mountain emergency, which one might (or mightn't) be better, and how much location information your phone can provide. This post is my description of the situation, which I hope differs from others in that I've given trustworthy references to support the statements, instead of just claiming to know things from my head. All of this info was researched from January to May 2018, and is based on the scenario of using a UK-registered mobile phone on the hill in the UK. Please let me know if you've any issues with the information provided (with references 😉 ).
999 or 112?
I couldn't find anything definitive online here, so I asked Ofcom. They replied, by email:
The numbers '999' and '112' are treated exactly the same way – networks favour no number over the other and the call is handled in exactly the same way throughout.
Emergency Roaming
Many people know that if you dial 999 or 112 and your own mobile network has no signal, you can automatically 'roam' onto other available networks to make the emergency call. The technical name for this is "Limited State Service" (LSS). Ofcom have confirmed to me that when you do this, the call handler cannot see what your phone number is. Even if they saw the number, they are unable to call you back via any network other than your own home network, which by definition doesn't have any service if you're using LSS. You therefore should not expect a call back if you ring 999 or 112 while in LSS; make sure you have given and received all the appropriate information before hanging up!
While you can dial 999 or 112 from a locked mobile phone, or from a Pay As You Go phone which has run out of credit, it's not possible to connect from a handset that does not contain a SIM card. Ofcom have also confirmed these points by email.
Other references: The Ofcom consultation incorporating LSS was held in March 2009, and the LSS system was activated in October 2009 [para. 3].
Emergency Text Messages
You can text 999 in an emergency, if you have pre-registered beforehand. You can register at www.emergencysms.org.uk, where there are also instructions on how to text 999. Note that texts to 999 are just normal text messages, which means you need signal on your home mobile network – you cannot use LSS to send a text. The system was primarily designed for use by people who cannot use voice/audio systems, rather than people whose phone signal is so poor that they can only text.
A personal note of caution here is that the responses you get by text seem to follow the same script as an operator would use on a phone call, but without the flexibility that human conversation provides. When I had to use the system on Snowdon, I was asked for the address of the emergency. When I replied that there wasn't one, I was then asked for the postcode. All of this in a blizzard, while keen to return to the casualties I'd left back up the hill.
Location – Pinging
I've seen several references online to emergency call handlers being able to press a button and magically 'ping' your phone to make it send them location details. I've been able to find absolutely zero evidence to support these claims. The call handler will usually receive mobile phone mast info, but that gives a circle of approx. 2.8km radius (see image below). There's nothing which lets them actively press a button and silently 'ping' your phone to make it send them your exact location. Such a system would depend on any number of factors, including the capabilities of your phone, the nature of your signal availability (voice only, data, etc.) – the options listed below are the next-best thing to magic that we can come up with at the moment though.
Location – AML
Advanced Mobile Location is a relatively new mobile phone function which kicks in silently when you make a 999 call. It is far, far more accurate than other systems, giving emergency services a much smaller circle on the ground in which you are likely to be found (see image below). Your phone will check there's enough battery remaining, and if so will activate wifi and GPS to work out its location as accurately as possible. It'll then text the details to the emergency services. It doesn't need a 3G/4G data connection, and it will turn wifi and GPS off again afterwards so that your battery isn't drained. The text message sent won't be visible on the handset. All of this happens without you doing or seeing anything. The call handler does not need to do anything to instigate the process; it happens automatically on your phone. Ofcom told me that "With Advanced Mobile Location (AML), the handset's best available location information is made available to the person who answers the call." Note that's "the person who answers the call" – they then need to pass the information to mountain rescue (see below). AML is available on Google Android from version 2.3 (Gingerbread) onwards, and on Apple iOS from version 11.3 onwards. If you want all the gory details about how it works, check out this separate post I wrote.
Location – SARLOC
SARLOC is a system employed by some mountain rescue teams, which sends an internet link to a casualty via SMS. It's nothing to do with the initial call to emergency services, but it is frequently used by MR teams so I thought it worthy of inclusion. The internet link sent by MR allows the casualty to open a web page on their phone, which then sends the GPS location of the handset directly to the MRT. Obviously this is reliant on the handset having a sufficient mobile data connection (GPRS/EDGE/3G/4G) to load the web page in the first place, and having the geolocation feature active in the web browser (as described here). It also necessitates a lag between the initial 999 call and establishing the casualty's position. It has the advantage that it is handset- and OS-agnostic. SARLOC is not available to the public; the initial texts are sent to casualties by MRT as-and-when required.
Location – OS Locate
OS Locate is the Ordnance Survey app for mobile phones, which gives a six-figure grid reference for your current position. It has no link to emergency services, but the reason I've included it here is that a lot of people don't realise that you don't need phone signal for it to work (see question 6 on the official FAQ). So even if you don't have any service on your home mobile network, you could still use it to confirm your position before trying to make an emergency call using LSS, or moving to a location where you do get signal.
Location – Passing to MR
All of the above scenarios relate to your mobile phone sending location information to the emergency services call handler. I have had a couple of conversations with people from different mountain rescue teams, both of whom have said that there is no standard procedure for the police to pass an agreed dataset – including, for example, location information – to MR when notifying them of a call. I will admit I'm starting to stray into anecdotal evidence rather than concrete references here, but my advice would be to make it clear to the call handler that the grid reference you give them, for example, is a critical piece of information that must be given to MR.
The Caveat
Technology is great, and I love things like AML maximising the potential of the handsets almost all of us carry around with us. However, things go wrong and batteries do run out. The first time I had to dial 999 on the hill, the speaker stopped working as wet snow got into it, so the call handler could hear me but I couldn't hear them. Don't just assume that the call handler is definitely going to automatically receive your location info – always back things up with a grid reference as part of the call. It's obvious advice, but it's up there with other things that shouldn't necessarily need saying like "take a map and compass" and "know how to use them".

A visit to the beach usually means three things: sun, sea, and sand. Lots and lots of sand. While there's nothing more exciting than letting your kids run free while you sit back and watch, there's always one downside. Getting them dried off and ready to head home can be a nightmare, with sticky sand layering up in between little fingers and toes...that is, if you haven't heard of this parenting hack. Be prepared, this is life-changing advice that will blow your mind - or at least help you drive home without feeling that horrible grit in your shoes.
The secret? Talcum powder. Pure and simple. Liberally apply the magical substance to wet sandy skin and give it a good rub with a towel. In mere seconds the skin is left sand free, soft and ready to pile into the car for the journey home. You can usually pick up some talc for less than a dollar, so it's worth stocking up and keeping some in your beach bag to bust out when the day is over. If the idea of the big clean-up puts you off going to the beach entirely, then this is the parenting hack for you.
What's more, a little bird told us that using lavender scented talc will help wind down your kids from the excitement of the day. The fragrant herb has been used for centuries as a natural relaxant and is often mixed into baby products to help little ones sleep. No uncomfortable sandy appendages and sleepy kids - we told you this advice was worth having.
Using the powder is especially good for little ones around the crawling stage, as sand often creeps into nappies. When baby wipes just don't do the trick, talc can save the day by stopping that nasty rubbing before it starts.
We love this hack so much. In fact, we tried and tested it on our last beach trip with the kiddos, and it worked like a dream!
Do you have any go-to parenting hacks that have helped you make day trips easier? Let us know in the comments!

Adventures of All Kinds
But back to the rest of life. We have to go back like 2 weeks, so I'll just hit the highlights.
Like our first swim meet of summer and the return of 5 a.m. Saturday wake-up calls!
I decided not to swim this year. As fun as it was to dive back in the water last summer, I can't say it reawakened any great love of swimming in me. I still love to race, but I have absolutely no interest in going to the practices or doing anything that would make me go faster, and it really is SO nice to just be dry at swim meets. James doesn't understand this, but I am quite happy in my current role in the stands. I'll probably join again for a future summer, but this year, I'm just an enthusiastic supporter.
Speaking of enthusiasm, Cora arrived ready to dominate. Now an experienced 4-year-old in the same 6-&-Under age group, Cora was SO ESSITED to be on swim team again. And this year her best friend Jojo was going to join her. AND she now gets to do backstroke! I still find a toddler in a swim cap and goggles to be the cutest thing I've ever seen.
She did great in her freestyle, dropping a solid 15 seconds off last year's best time. And then in her backstroke, which I thought was going to be a hot mess, she zoomed down the lane, fully on her back, never flipping over and going nearly the same time she went in her free!
Coach Dad deserves many high fives.
The big kids also did great. Claire has emerged as a dominant breaststroker, winning both her races so far this season, and Landon continues his reign in all things, but particularly the 50 free and 100 IM.
Most importantly several of their friends are on the team and the card games of Uno, Spoons, and War continue in the team tents.
After a million hours (or like 5ish) we headed home to pass out before a pool party that night. And I mean pass out pretty literally- James fell asleep, Cora fell asleep (for FOUR HOURS!), *I* fell asleep, and the two big kids lay on the couch, head to head, staring at a blank TV when I walked in an hour later. "Are you watching something?" "We were earlier," Landon sighed, "but then it turned off when it was done." I continued doing stuff in the kitchen and they continued to lie there, just gazing at the black screen. We were a little tired.
The evening's pool party was good fun, even if I did have to nudge the kids out the door a bit. Then on Sunday, we went to the zoo and FED GIRAFFES!
Oh yeah. All caps levels of excitement.
Our new exhibit is amazing and we love it but the two times we've stopped by it's been just before closing and the giraffes are full. But on Sunday we were there right at 10 a.m. and two of them, including my new best friend Captain, were HANGRY.
It was so fun. I love giraffes. I loved feeding my new giraffe. I even made James go buy more overpriced lettuce just so we could do it more. As Claire declared immediately following our giraffe experience, this was the BEST visit to the zoo EVER. And we've been to the zoo about 100 times.
We also bonded with our new hippos, Poppy and Bubbles, from Oregon. I'm pretty sure we're their favorites.
The rest of Sunday was errands, teaching barre, having friends over to swim, and making delicious salmon for dinner and then it was off to week #2 of summer! Landon would be at the Cowtown Marathon Running Camp and Claire was at a Greatest Showman Broadway Jazz dance camp! Both were VERY EXCITED about these things.
Landon LOVED running camp. He was full of stories and running tips every day. My favorite was on Wednesday when we had this conversation:
Landon: Mom! Today at running camp we got these cool belt things with pockets. Hacky packs? Sacky hacks?
Me: Fanny packs?
Landon: Yes! They're really cool mom.
Claire LOVED Greatest Showman camp. They had a performance on Friday and it was adorable and earnest and everything an 8-year-old's Broadway jazz camp should be.
Cora did not go to any camps because she is still in her year-round Montessori preschool, but she did get new sparkle rainbow light-up shoes and she would like for you to see them.
And the tiny rainbow cheetah Claire bought Cora with her birthday money because Claire is a more generous big sister than Cora often deserves.
We had swim meet #2 yesterday morning and left the house even earlier but somehow still too late to stop at Starbucks on the way. It was a nice pool and the kids swam really well. Landon even had the rare bit of competition and got beat in the 25 fly and then got best times racing the same kid (and winning) in the 50 free and 100 IM. It's good for him to have to work for it sometimes. Cora rocked her 25 free and then lost her mind partway through her 25 back when she hit the lane rope and took the rope's attack deeply personally. James had to jump in to pull her out midway across the pool after she sat with her arm on the lane rope screaming and chewing on her hand for comfort for several seconds. Thirty minutes of hysterical crying later she was able to calmly inform us "the lane rope just hurt my head mommy and I don't like that" and we changed into a dress and snazzy sunglasses and moved on with our day.
Since her older siblings were still swimming their events and couldn't devote a proper amount of attention to her, Cora replaced them with new ones. I realized she was missing from our area and went in search of her only to find her happily ensconced in a new tent, with new friends I did not know (and she didn't either), enthusiastically playing with a set of plastic horses and unicorns. She remained there for the rest of the meet. I still don't know who any of her new friends were, but they seemed nice and didn't mind a 4-year-old crashing their unicorn party.
Gotta love swim meets.
That afternoon we all crashed again. Swim meets take a lot out of you and then we had a super fun backyard games party at a friend's house. I took no pictures, but there was a margarita machine, nacho bar, my tres leches cake, and much fun had by all. James and I remain an undefeated team in bean bags and he played a frisbee game while I drank a margarita to refuel. It was a good night.
Sunday was Father's Day and it was perfect but I'm going to blog about it later because it's late and I seem to need 12 hours of sleep now instead of my usual 6, so we'll go straight to food. I have many recipes! Basically everything we've eaten in June so far:
Sunday: went to a BBQ at a friend's and brought Pesto Caprese Gnocchi (literally just cooked gnocchi tossed with pesto, sliced cherry tomatoes, and fresh baby mozzarella balls; this is Cora's favorite meal in the whole world) and Farro Kale-Radicchio Salad with Lemon Miso dressing (possibly my favorite meal in the whole world)
Monday: BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad birthday dinner! (Claire's favorite meal and chosen birthday dinner), Chocolate cupcakes I made from a box between me getting home from work and the kids getting home from swimming.
Tuesday: Egg roll bowl (made this up based on the memory of past recipes: saute ground turkey with onion and garlic, add soy sauce, simmer; dump in big bag of cauliflower rice, sliced baby bok choy, shredded cabbage, shredded carrots - fill the whole giant pan you're using, stir around until it all softens a bit, add in rice vinegar + sherry + soy sauce + oyster sauce. I would have used sesame oil but I didn't have any on hand. Serve. So yummy and healthy and hearty.)
Wednesday: Black Bean Spinach Enchiladas with added leftover bbq chicken from Monday), Mexican rice. SOOOOOO good. I love that recipe; the enchilada sauce is divine.
Thursday: Big salad night. Take every vegetable out of your fridge + hard boiled egg, avocado, walnuts, cheese, cold cooked pasta/quinoa/farro (whatever you've got)- chop everything, dump it in the biggest bowl you own. Make a dressing (I like red wine vinegar + dijon mustard + garlic + salt/pepper + olive oil; heavy on the vinegar). Toss it all together with tongs and distribute in bowls that resemble the Goldilocks story per person in the family. Serve with crackers and cheese on the side.
Friday: Date night! James and I went to see Ocean's 8 and I ate delicious nachos in my seat at the theater. I made the kids our favorite crockpot meatballs with veggies and fruit on the side.
Saturday: Birthday Party Pizza. Birthday pool party with all our favorite people, and mandatory breaks for the kids to eat some pizza to fuel the swimming shenanigans.
Sunday: Salmon, Roasted Potatoes, Roasted Cauliflower, Kale Salad with Lemon Miso Dressing. My absolute favorite salmon recipe (I broil it in the oven and skip the salsa) that I have missed very much, roasted tri-color potatoes and cauliflower, with the salad that I love that I made last Saturday, followed by some Trader Joe's dark chocolate cookies I snuck in the pantry while James was doing dishes.
Monday: Chicken Caesar Wraps, Oven Fries, Fruit. Sliced grilled chicken breasts and the organic Caesar salad mix from TJ's, rolled into tortillas with sliced tomatoes, served with oven fries and whatever fruit is in the fridge. The kids thought I was made of magic when I turned a salad into a wrap, and really, maybe I was.
Tuesday: OUT. I now teach barre at TCU on Tuesday nights and I just knew I wasn't going to want to cook when I could go out for happy hour tacos, queso, and margaritas with the kids. We met up with friends at the restaurant, proving it was the right decision.
Wednesday: Crockpot Red Beans and Rice, Steamed Green Beans, Cornbread. My fave red beans and rice recipe to date and it's super easy, light, filling, and comforting. And the TJ box cornbread mix because it's excellent.
Thursday: Tamales, Refried Black Beans, Avocado. Steamed frozen tamales, Cora's favorite thing, with beans and avocado and tomato. I skipped this dinner to go to barre, but the kids loved it.
Friday: OUT. It was supposed to be pasta with meat sauce, but I felt lazy and tired and in need of nachos so we went out for those instead.
Saturday: Tres Leches Cake (without the rum, but with cinnamon added to the milks mixture). My contribution to our friend's nacho buffet along with black beans and roasted corn.
Sunday: Giordano's Deep Dish Pizza for Father's Day. Shipped in on dry ice, it was FANTASTIC.
Monday: Chicken Sausage Sheet Pan Dinner (I did tri-color carrots, green beans, red potatoes, and chicken sausage spread over two pans) with Parmesan Orzo on the side (so delicious and simple; I leave out the parsley because I don't like it).
Tuesday: Mexican Rice with all the toppings.
Wednesday: Greek Tortellini Salad, naan, tzatziki sauce on the side.
Thursday: White Bean and Chicken Verde Enchiladas, black refried beans, rice, avocado.
Friday: My Mom's Spaghetti: Carbo-loading for meet #3!

I have the same issue with anti-depressants/anti-anxiety meds, I feel like I'm living in jello. I started taking them at night before bed and that is much better for me! That said, the weirdest part of these meds is how they react so differently in individuals. Good luck!ReplyDeleteReplies
Yes, it is so weird how different they can be! My doctor said to give it one more week and if I hadn't adjusted we should try something different. I do feel like today has been better than yesterday which was better than the day before. At no time today did I feel like jello was a part of my life, so I"m hopeful this one will still work out for me.Delete
The first paragraph, LOL...!! Hope you're doing better and derm appt is a-ok!ReplyDelete
If I lived there, I would ship my kids off to JP. Despite my swimming ability, I appear to have a child who sinks. She and I stare at each other, baffled. Why don't you float? I ask. Why don't YOU sink? she asks. Later, rinse, repeat. It turns out it's hard to teach something to your kids that's instinctive to you, heh.ReplyDelete
Love the dress.
Thank you for sharing about your depression. Love your blog. FYI: Beto is doing a run meet-up on Sunday in Fort Worth. I'll be walking. Keep at all of it!ReplyDelete

Paxil is notorious for making people sleepy/ gain weight/ feel off even if the dose is off by just a few hours. You are not alone - I also felt perpetually falling on the couch tired on it. I'm glad it sounds like it's helping somewhat though! If you ever decide to try something else, just be really careful coming down on doses. Some Drs downplay the discontinuation syndrome, but having lived it, it is real!ReplyDeleteReplies
My tiredness seems to be getting better (or at least, it's definitely better today!), so hopefully this is a trend and I'm adjusting and can stay on it. I hate to keep switching things up, but I will because I can't survive my schedule if I feel like passing out all the time! (And thanks for the warning on discontinuation, should we make a change downward I'll be sure to talk about it.)Delete

This is so random, but I'm curious what goggles (brand/style) are working for Cora - ? My 4 year old can't find a comfy and effective pair.ReplyDeleteReplies
She has these! Super cheap (I buy a few at a time) and they have never leaked on her: https://www.swimoutlet.com/p/sporti-antifog-cabo-jr-goggle-22393/?color=59054. I love the Swim Outlet "sporti" brand. I get most of their training suits from there too.Delete
I saw James on the news last night!!ReplyDelete

The chronicles of someone who did all of the right things at the wrong time
and all of the wrong things at the right time,
and how he has thrived to tell about it.
We sit in opposition
Like cars gearing up for a
Game of chicken.
The wind blusters in your
Eyes, your piano voice comes
In crystals. I feel the years
Between us that have
Fallen off, revealing a hard
Skeleton of love in place.
How we try each
Other for fault! Your vanity,
my hands cut off at
The wrist. I have no
Stomach to pick through
These remains again or retrace
Plot points on the map
To here. I see it as a
Happy accident that
We have survived
Together at all,
Certainly not any of my
Doing. Was it the god
Of inertia who intervened,
limited horizons pressing
Against motion?
Were we not brave enough,
and if so,
Has it not taken us down
A step?
Was it something else entirely,
A flame of recognition
That held a mutual gaze
And burned everything else
You wait
And if it doesn't come you wait some more,
It is something like fishing
Except you don't do it in the sun.
It is not exactly pleasant
And it is not exactly unpleasant either
Why you do it
is difficult to answer.
It has something to do with compulsion
Your having to know that you can,
On that day
come up with something
That will definitely surprise you.
So you court the gods gravely and fervently
Because you know that it is not really
You at all who is going to do the work.
It is rather a chorus of Voices somewhere
Inside your nervous system
that will come to visit you,
Bringing with them words as gifts to you,
Which they offer in muffled tones or
In fits and starts, or in lengthier
Instalments that you take down
At your keyboard you hope in the right
You want to receive the message correctly
not mishear it,
And you have to learn to trust that what they tell you
Is in fact the truth because you have no way of verifying
Of course there will be at some point an overseer who
tinkers and censors
And deletes
A sort of Father Figure editor
Who must get the package wrapped correctly.
But that is the easy part really because the gift is already
in whole
or in part.
Later, you and others will determine whether it was
A cheap gift or an expensive one.
You will provide your signature,
The Voices will be relegated to obscurity.
You know in your heart that you are probably
an imposter,
At best, an interceptor,
And the Voices will not be there to either
Confirm or deny it.
We have all been insulted some time or other in our life. And it is important that one learns to take insults well if we are to retain any measure of self-respect. When someone says to you, "Why don't you go fuck yourself?" How can you most handily respond to that?
Act interested . Go, "Why don't I go fuck myself, indeed?" Have your fingertip at your lip, your head cocked at an upturned angle while you say this. It is possible, though unlikely, that the big-mouth will join you in attempting to answer their own question, Or you could choose to remind them it is none of their business. Your insult to them. But the better course is to stay on the high road and not play tit for tat. It is possible that the person decides to up the ante with a more direct "Fuck you" or "Fuck off."
Now you must clarify matters. Explain to the frustrated soul that you don't wish to do either. Be firm but kind. Remind them that we live in a democracy, that they are neither your guardian nor your stockbroker (if in fact it is the case) and that you don't wish to take their advice. Or, contrarily, that you may just do what they have suggested. Thank them for their tough-love manner and wish them well in their day.
If this leads to a physical threat, raise your hand and take on a stance of "Brother, you know not what you do!" in the style of Harvey Keitel, admonishing his flock in Martin Scorcese's old movie, The Last Temptation of Christ. It is always useful to have a model in mind when you make a magnanimous gesture. It may even get uglier. If so, employ one of Ghandi's tactics and sit on the ground. Do not allow yourself to be hurt, but don't resist either. Do the right thing, a la the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Hopefully, a crowd will encircle you that includes a burly off-duty policeman. If that doesn't happen, play dead, or convince the person that it is time for your nap. It is always amazing what people will accept at face value. The important thing is to keep them guessing and preferably under the impression that you cannot be bullied, or that you are mentally unbalanced and capable of untold destruction if pushed to it.
The best alternative, however, may still be the flight reaction. But usually it does not come to that. What is the worst that can happen? You die. There are worse things than death,( which I won't get into at this juncture.) Suffice it say that even if you did die, you would know (how, I have no idea!) that you did the right thing. You did not insult back. You did not steep to their level. You acted with dignity, forbearance, a smattering of intelligence, bluff. You danced well. You went out in style (whatever that means) Could they say the same? It is more than likely that they will at some point regret what they said or did to you, or they may even become born-again and go on to years of meetings in dank basements with badly dressed overweight people .
You will have changed the person. they might never insult another person again, or at least in the same manner. You have made a difference!
Write about it.
Write about what?
Find an" it" and write about it.
This is it.
Then what can we say about it?
That it's here
Right here.
I can't see. It's too dark.
That's it.
The darkness?
What can we say about the darkness?
It's dark.
Yes,… and?
And you don't know where anything is.
Go on.
And It's on my shoulder now.
Yes It's heavy, isn't it
It's gone now.
A little light, then?
Yes but it's still hard to see.
Maybe you need glasses.
It's possible.
Which it is it now?
There is only one it.
Everything is possible in darkness.
Is it?
It is.
I see.
It's too dark to see.
I know.
That's it.

Add the hydraulic disc brakes for reliable all-weather stopping, that it is only 13.5kg and the Agree C:62 SL Disc is your ticket to ride.
Agree Hybrid C:62 SLT Disc – £7200.00
Appearances can be deceptive.

Contained entirely within the sculpted flanks of its down tube is the advanced Fazua drive pack and battery, providing seamless pedal assistance via the superbly smooth Shimano Dura Ace Di2 electronic 2x11 transmission.
Seamless gear shifts, almost effortless climbing and extended range are just some of the benefits; this is a brand new era in road biking. The drive system is fully removable, adding further to this extraordinary bike's appeal.
A carbon fork, Newmen carbon cockpit components and Newmen Advanced SL R.25 wheelset finish off a wish-list of range-topping components that comes in at just 12.5kg.
