New Jersey
I just booked a trip to Amsterdam and London and I travel back and forth from Florida to New Jersey almost monthly. I am looking for a great travel backpack with lots of pockets, a laptop sleeve that is easy and can be a carry on.
also- what are your thoughts on waist straps- yay or nay?
Let me know your suggestions.
I personally like the Swiss Gear backpacks best, but also own (and like) backpacks by Jansport and High Sierra.
Do go somewhere to try them on. It may seem odd, but different brands/styles will feel and fit differently depending on your body style and no matter how nice it might look, if it isn't comfortable, you'll be miserable. Bring something with weight to it with you, even if it's just your purse, and then try on the packs that meet your size needs and adjust them to fit. That should narrow down your choices considerably.
My wife and I purchased the Osprey Farpoint Travel Pack. It has a very comfortable strap and belt system that can be hidden away behind a zippered panel for luggage style carry. There is also a removable Day Pack. We purchased ours at REI.
+1 for Osprey Farpoint. I have the 60. Used to travel across Asia for 7 months and this bag seems to have everything you need. Hiding the backpack straps and using the handle like luggage and removable daypack lets carry-on instead of checking a bag (huge benefit). Get yourself some compression bags for your clothes and it will fit everything you need and nothing you don't.
Always pack less than you think you need. Chances are they have it where you are going anyways.
My wife and I are in out late 60s and we travel extensively (2 months in Europe), (3 months in Bali, Au and NZ) and we both use a High Sierra Freewheel Rolling Backpack and then a smaller day pack...more like a book bag. The wheeled backpacks have held up well, all zippers still work fine and no seams coming apart even though we stuff them pretty tight. As far as actual backpacks go, look on the internet about how to measure torso length. Then go try some on that are matched to your torso. For out next trip, we're planing two years and I've bought an osprey porter 30 to carry along with my trusted High Sierra roller. It your tall, you might be able to handle the osprey porter 46.
I work for a technology company and have to travel a lot. I love my Swiss Gear laptop bag and a small Eagle Creek roll-on.
Patagonia maximum legal carry on MLC. Have had mine for years.
I have used Osprey which providing good quality. They have women sizes that fit my body and never got back pain and other.
However, from your requirements, I recommend Minaal.
It is the success product from Kick Starter cloud funding.
Carry-all, fit low cost airlines size, a lot of smart compartments and so on.

Donald Trump has completed a ton of phenomenal things since he began running for president in June 2015. He's assaulted detainees of war. He's harassed pretty much everybody in the realm of governmental issues. He's made light of the racial oppressor brutality that prompted a lady's passing in Charlottesville, Virginia. He's said thousands, truly, of things that are not valid.
Yet, the most stunning trap Trump has pulled as a legislator – and now as president – is to persuade bring down working class, overwhelmingly white voters that he is one of them.
I was helped to remember that trap on Sunday when Trump was asked whether he can identify with administrative specialists not being paid because of the continuous government shutdown. Here's the manner by which the President reacted:
"I can relate, and I'm certain that the general population that are in a bad way will make changes, they generally do, and they'll make modifications. Individuals see precisely what's happening. However, a considerable lot of those individuals that won't get a paycheck, huge numbers of those individuals concur 100% with what I'm doing."
"I can relate."
We should investigate that thought.
Donald Trump was naturally introduced to an affluent family. His dad, Fred Trump, was a wealthy engineer in New York City. In the near future after Trump moved on from business college, his dad advanced him $1 million to kick him off in the business world. At a town corridor in 2015, Trump portrayed the advance along these lines: "as long as I can remember truly has been a 'no,' and I battled through it. It has not been simple for me, it has not been simple for me. What's more, you realize I began off in Brooklyn, my dad gave me a little advance of a million dollars."
Accepting that advance came in 1968 – the year Trump moved on from Penn – it would be what might be compared to a nearly $7 million advance today. Also, as The New York Times uncovered in a shocking piece a year ago, the real measure of cash that Trump procured from his dad was well in overabundance of $1 million. Attempt more than $400 million – probably some of which came as the consequence of entirely faulty expense evades and plots.
Riches aside, Trump isn't actually the regular person. He was brought up in New York City and, except for his retreat in Florida, has never lived outside the city. He went to tuition based schools through secondary school. He dated models and performing artists. He featured in an unscripted television arrangement for over 10 years.
But, Trump by one way or another, throughout the 2016 battle, viably persuaded a nice lump of voters – particularly in the Midwest burrowed out by assembling misfortunes – that he and only he comprehended the difficulties they looked throughout everyday life. Over and over, at rally after rally, participants would tell the media that Trump got them – that he viably directed their dissatisfactions, their indignation and their expectations.
They said these things even as Trump was frequently touting indications of his riches, his tip top training, his disparities. At that point they voted in favor of him.
Trump won 71% among white men without a school training, as indicated by exit surveying. He took 61% among non-school taught white ladies. Trump won 51% of voters whose most abnormal amount of training was secondary school and a comparative 51% of the individuals who had gone to some school however not graduated. Paradoxically, Trump took only 37% among voters with some kind of postgraduate qualification – like him.

Concluding our actual play about BW. This has been cross posted at the forge and to see our upcoming actions, you might go read the answers that followed.
Maybe just to conclude this thread and summarize our (Francis and I) common position following this play test. Please note that some of the issues I'm going to address are on the verge of publishing.
Burning Wheel
This is, in my opinion, one of the best system out there. It really helps out playing and provides rules that helps me, as a DM at the table ; I mean it helps me and my players focus on what we want to address.
Maybe the most enjoyable and eye opening mechanic for me was the character burner. And I'd like to talk a little bit about this.
The character burner, in my opinion, is quite different than the classical character creation. In what way ?
I do see the character creation as having a character sheet and completing it. Character burner seems to me like a different beast : you have a specific sheet, with a lot of little characters on it, that you use to create your character. In this process, there is a lot of emphasis about the character personal story. After this process, you moved some parts of the initial sheet to the final character sheet, the one you will use in play ; thus throwing away the character burner sheet.
Now, would I prefer a simpler character sheet for BW ? I guess, yes. I mean, yes, BW is great, but a little bit too complicated to my taste (read here "rules heavy"). BW is great, but better to use it with hardcore players. And do I have access to this kind of players ? Not really, see below.
Also, which is great for Avalanche, BW seems perfect to play campaign, which is the purpose of Avalanche.
Finally, I do feel that BW and Avalanche is almost a perfect match. By that, I mean I don't see any real reasons to have a separate version of BW for Avalanche or a single version of Avalanche for BW. According to this AP, do I seem right ?
What's next ?
So, here's my situation : Francis is going to leave for China in two months, and for some reasons (including friends of mine living oversea) I don't have access to hardcore players. Also, setting out a campaign might turn out to be very difficult. And, please, bear in mind that I intend to publish Avalanche somewhere this summer ; that means a lot of work, leaving even less time for playtesting.
That said, we intend to continue a little bit of playtesting until Francis is leaving ; at least two games, but with very specific purposes. We want to try out some "demo" stuff. That means single session introducing Avalanche. Thus, no real space here for character burning and we do see TSOY to be a better take for this kind of play. Do you feel that way ?
And note that this is not really a problem as Avalanche is presented as a multi-systems campaign.
Now, back to BW. I do see my options as follow (there are not mutually exclusive) :
- Continue, against all odds, to playtest BW, eventually to the sake of other type of playtesting, or even work on the final product. Is there much more to learn for me in that context ?
- Write down a review, to be or not, included to Avalanche. I do have other ways to propose it, in my blog for instance.
- Write down suggestions, or guidelines, on how to best use BW and Avalanche together (taken mostly from this AP).
- Try to find playtesters within the community of BW. That would mean for alpha testers (free version of Avalanche for those testers). And note that I see a difference between encouraging this kind of playtest and providing guidelines, getting customers who play BW and let them build a community. But I do want limited alpha testers. Is BW really where I want to put the efforts ?
- Putting out characters sheets for BW in Avalanche is not an option I can do alone : I need Luke permission. Should I "push" on that ?
Or, maybe, I should just not worry about it and do nothing ... Or maybe, I'm missing out something.
Our goal, our system
After much thoughts, we decided to come up with our own system. But, wait here : that is no big deal !!! We're going to do a variation of the solar system, which works well with Avalanche, we know that already. And the system works too, so it shouldn't be too much work (*cough*cough* ... see "risky" here). That said, we would like to introduce a kind of character burner in the solar system.
Anyway, the main thing is : time is limited. I would prefer to spend time working out on this variation and playtesting it than BW. You see my problem ?
But maybe, there could be a couple of very little things I could do to close down the BW issue that would really pay off. Any suggestions ?
And please, keep in mind that I want Avalanche to be open about systems. That is one of our main publishing goal.

We moved to Illinois from California in August, 2008 for my husband to attend the University of Illinois. We soon found out that God brought us half way across the country for much more than a doctorate in music education. Weeks after we moved, we found out our 13 month old son Cole had profound hearing loss in both ears. He had never been screened as a newborn, so this news came to us as a devastating confirmation of what we'd suspected for a about a month through our own observations.
As devastating as the news of Cole's hearing loss was initially, the team from ECHO/CAOS walked with us every step of the way as we began to navigate this new journey to hearing for our boy. We were met with an incredible staff of audiologists, speech and language pathologists and insurance specialists, along with otolaryngologist, Dr. Novak, all under the same roof! I can't tell you how comforting this was for our family. The care Cole was given by the ECHO/CAOS staff helped make this difficult journey for our family smooth from the very start. Cole was diagnosed in August and received bilateral cochlear implants in December of the same year. Just four months after first discovering our son was deaf, he could hear and was receiving therapy from highly trained therapists several times a week.
The team assigned to Cole has consistently demonstrated a deeply invested care for his overall well being, far beyond our expectations. We find distinct comfort in their assessment driven goals, keeping us all on the same page regarding his progress and helping train us to become his primary therapists at home. Even our oldest son has become quite the speech and language pathologist for his younger brother after attending so many sessions with Cole!
Now, Cole is 3 years old and has made significant progress in every area of development! In the 18 months he has spent hearing, Cole has made better than month to month progress in his development of language and surpassed what is even expected socially of children his age! His progress is definitely due to the incredibly hard working staff at CAOS who, for 7 hours each week, encourage him (and us!) to keep reaching for the seemingly unattainable goals that once achieved, help him interact more freely with the speaking world! Under the wing of the ECHO/CAOS staff, we have watched our boy blossom into a confident 3 year old who loves interacting with the world around him and always has something to say in every situation! No one passes by Cole without getting a friendly, "Hi!" with a wave and a smile in return. We are more than thankful for the incredible blessing the ECHO/CAOS staff has been to our son and to our family. They have given him "ears" and a voice-- and for that we will be forever grateful!
"When we came to SJIC in February of 2005, our son, Carson, who was almost three years old, had one cochlear implant and knew how to say five to ten words. He was seriously behind. We knew that we wanted Carson to close the gap between his ability and age appropriate speech and listening skills. This task seemed next to impossible. Every day we brought Carson to school where his teachers and therapists created a language rich environment. The school is so unique because everything that happens in a unit enriches language. The center room is transformed into picnic areas, campgrounds, outer space, haunted houses or pumpkin patches. Carson learned to speak because he experienced the language. The staff was always happy with Carson's progress but listened closely to how we defined success and kept pushing Carson for more. Now, Carson is four and a half years old, has two cochlear implants, and is within six months of closing the gap between his ability and his age. We know Carson will not be limited by his hearing loss. We're no longer afraid for his future. We're thrilled!"

"Our story isn't very exciting, but we think it is pretty miraculous. We first heard about St. Joe's (SJIC) at the Parent Institute at Illinois School for the Deaf. We met some great friends there who were taking their daughter through the ECHO program and really had wonderful things to say. We were not really satisfied with our situation at the time so we thought that we would give both ECHO and St. Joe's a whirl. Our daughter, Tori, was 18 months when we started at St. Joe's two times a week, 125 miles round trip. At that time she was wearing bilateral hearing aids and not being very stellar in the booth for ECHO. We decided around 2 years, 3 months that she should get a cochlear implant and she was implanted at 2 years, 5 months. By the time her implant was turned on, we were traveling to Champaign from Lincoln five times a week. I was becoming very well known at the Barnes & Noble store and thoroughly addicted to lattes. Four years or so later, after much hard work from all concerned, Tori graduated from St. Joe's and is now a completely mainstreamed first grade student. Completely at ease with her class and her school work. Was four years of my life and thousands of miles put on my van worth it? Words cannot say how thankful we are to God that He led us to St. Joseph Institute for the Deaf at Carle. God has truly put these professionals in their true calling and has blessed all of us with knowing them. Thanks to St. Joe and ECHO staff, you have truly changed our lives for the better and we will be forever grateful."
Kelly and Tom Tripplett
"St. Joseph's Institute for the Deaf at Carle/Carle Auditory Oral School has been the one thing that has always remained constant in this journey that we've taken since our son's diagnosis. I often wondered why this happened to Ryan and our family, but I know one of the reasons was so that we could meet the wonderful people that work in this program. Each one of them has always had Ryan's best interests in mind, and they have worked to let him succeed as much as he can. I have said many times in IEP meetings that the reason he does as well as he does in a mainstreamed classroom is that people that worked with him have always raised the bar. They didn't expect just enough progress to "get by." They pushed him to excel. And that's exactly what Ryan has done. He is a second grader in a regular classroom, with accommodations that were suggested by the team as SJIC and ECHO. They have been there for my every question, concern, setback, and triumph. I will forever be indebted to them."

I know a lot of folks out there including myself are trying our best to protest against the government from signing the SOPA/PIPA bills, but they could ignore the protests completely, and make those bills into law after this….
Read all about it, here.
This story has been in facebook and twitter all day.
While I do respect copyrighted music. I was never a pirate. I never stole music online. I'm always willing to pay music from Itunes and record stores. I always respected the artists work 'cause they worked hard for what they do and they deserve to get paid.
The reason I'm helping to protest against SOPA/PIPA 'cause those bills could shut down Youtube and could be a danger to bloggers like me if those bills are signed.
I understand that these bills are all about protecting the owners work but there are better ways of handling this instead of sending innocent people to prison for many years. That's why we're all outraged.
EDIT TO ADD: Hopefully, President Obama will do something about these SOPA/PIPA bills and throw them out for us. If he actually cares for us American people and want to make a "change", he should do this for us, but I doubt he'll do anything. He better not allow them to get signed.
EDIT TO ADD part 2: I don't know much about Megaupload, 'cause I never used the site before.

How to extend your Thai visa in Bangkok
Updated April 2020. I'm flying to Korea on Christmas day for 3 weeks in South Korea, one week in North Korea and then a trip to North Eastern China for the ice festival in Haerbin. I'm currently in Bangkok and my visa expired yesterday, but I don't fly from Bangkok until next week so I needed to extend my visa. For anyone else who needs to extend their Thai visa in Bangkok, or needs to check into immigration every 90 days – this is where you need to do it:
Thai Immigration Phone: (+66) 0-2141-9889
Google map HERE
NOTE: The old immigration office is Soi Suan Phlu, Sathorn Tai Road, Bangrak, Bangkok. DO NOT GO HERE!! This is now effectively closed.
NOTE: Rumours that you may have to go to 'Muang Thong Thani' for visa extensions are rife. Please double check before you extend .
How to get to Thai immigration:
The easiest way is to take the Bangkok Sky Train to Mo Chit station ($1-$2), and from there use the address above to give to a taxi driver to take you to immigration (about 100 baht taxi fare, $3-$4).
Can I extend my Thai visa?
Probably, yes. If you have a standard 14 day, 30 day, or 60-day tourist visa or visa-waiver (one you got on arrival by land or air into Thailand), then yes you can extend by 30 day for 1900 baht ($60)
If you have already extended once, you can get a 7 day emergency extension for another 1900 baht ($60). After that, you HAVE to leave the country and come back. If you need a longer extension, you're gonna need to do a visa-run to a nearby country. More info here
What do you need to extend your visa?
1900 baht (there are ATMs at immigration)
Copy of Passport, Departure Card, and Entry Stamp (can get this in the huge building at immigration for 3 cents per page)
2 Passport-sized photo (can get this at immigration too)
Application Form (provided at immigration)
Your address and phone number
How long does it take to extend your visa?
It takes around 60 minutes to get there, 60 minutes form-filling, queuing, waiting and another 60 minutes to get back to your hotel/hostel etc, so give yourself the morning to sort it out.
The procedure for extending your visa:
- Queue outside the immigration office within the huge building (pic above)
- When you get in, go to the counter and tell them why you're there – they'll give you the appropriate form
- Fill in the form (both sides), attach your passport photo to the form and hand it back to the ladies who gave it to you
- Go through to the next room, queue up for a ticket number
- The ticket number will tell you which counter to sit beside, go there and wait for your number to be called
- Go to the counter, have a quick chat, go back and sit down outside the counter again and wait to be recalled
- Collect your passport, with the overpriced extension and be on your merry way
Immigration opens at 8.30am, so try to be there around 8.15am. It also closes between 12.00-1.00 so bear that in mind too. Good luck!!

Bulimia (bu·lim·i·a/noun): an emotional disorder involving distortion of body image and an obsessive desire to lose weight, in which bouts of extreme overeating are followed by depression and self-induced vomiting, purging, or fasting.
I have always been the fat kid growing up. When I hit about third grade, my weight skyrocketed. I was wearing juniors size clothes by the time I hit fifth grade. I weighed 200 pounds by my junior year of high school. My weight has always been something I've struggled with. Growing up, I was put on diet pills by the age of 10. I remember bringing Slim Fast meal replacements for lunch at summer camp in elementary school. I was told by one of my parents that I should not eat for two days so I could understand what real hunger was like. I was constantly mocked for my weight, I could never wear the cute clothes everyone else did. Occasionally I would have a friend offer to lend me clothes, but of course, they were always at least two sizes too small.
I spent a lot of time being told I was too fat, to lose weight, that I was ugly and needed to count calories and stop being so lazy. I cried because I would never look like the beautiful women I saw on tv and in magazines. And so I ate more, drowning my feelings in food. Sometime in middle school, around the time I self-harmed for the first time, something in my brain clicked and I decided I wasn't going to eat anymore. At least, not like I used to. I would go a few days barely eating anything, and then by day 3 or 4, I would eat everything in sight. Sometimes I would eat normally, then force myself to throw it back up or take laxatives to get it out of my body.
For a long time, I just kept going through the cycle of fasting/restricting and binge eating. I thought it was normal and that, because I wasn't underweight or even at a normal weight, that there was nothing wrong with me. I was just a fatass with no impulse control or willpower. If I tried hard enough, I wouldn't look like this. I wouldn't be covered in angry red stretch marks, have thighs that rub together to the point that they bleed sometimes, have back fat that looks like a second butt. I just needed to eat less, and throw up what I was eating. Spend more time at the gym working off those calories, because who the fuck wants to be around someone this disgusting? I mean, look at that double chin. It never goes away. Everything jiggles when I walk. Pathetic.
On July 8th, 2017, I stepped on a scale for the first time in 3 months. The scale read 30 pounds heavier than I was even a year ago. I was 50 pounds heavier than I was 18 months before that. That day, I cried, harder than I had in a long time, over how I looked and what I had become. I stopped eating, starting forcing myself to throw up again, weighed myself at least twice a day. I was disgusted by myself. And you know what? I barely lost any weight. In fact, after 2 binges, I had gained back all of that weight and then some.
I finally admitted to my therapist that I had a problem with eating. I don't know what compelled me to tell her, maybe I was just tired of living like this. She set me up with a local eating disorder clinic and I was able to start treatment right away. On my first day there, I was terrified. I'm considered very obese, who the hell would believe I had an eating disorder? Thankfully, I got paired up with the most awesome therapist ever, and she's helped me a lot in understanding why I have these urges to binge eat and restrict. It helped to know I was not alone, and I finally had an answer for what I was doing. Of course, not looking "the part" of someone with an eating disorder, I'm usually met with "yeah, okay" responses. I mean, how can you be obese and bulimic? Surprise, eating disorders don't give a fuck about your size.
I am nowhere near recovered, I still have to fight with myself to not eat literally everything in front of me all the time. My self-esteem is nonexistent, especially after having a child. I still cry over the numbers on the scale every time I get home from my doctor's appointments. I have to force myself to eat on occasion because I can't stand the idea of it anymore. But I am trying, and someday I will learn to love myself. Eventually, I will have a healthy relationship with food. It just takes time.
If you or someone you love struggles with an eating disorder, please reach out. Check out NEDA for more information. As always, crisis resources are available here.

2014 Scarytales Haunted House
It was a dark and stormy night. Red was on her way to Granny's house for a visit. The woods were darker and scarier than usual and the trees made Red feel as if they were closing in on her. She could see Granny's cabin in the gloomy distance and could just make out a fire crackling through the window. When she finally arrived she went in and Granny was nowhere to be found. She cried out to her, "Granny where are you?" The only response Red got was the most evil sounding growl she had ever heard…What happened next? The only way to find out is for you to come and see for yourself.Be warned, not all fairy tales have a happy ending.

Egersund, Norway-based marine electronics manufacturer Navico announced today that it has merged with digital cartography pioneer C-MAP.
Both companies already share common owners in Goldman Sachs Merchant Banking and the Altor family of private equity funds, but had previously operated as autonomous business enterprises. Under the merger agreement, C-MAP joins the Lowrance, Simrad and B&G brands as part of Navico's marine electronics portfolio effective immediately. "This merger is an incredible opportunity to drive innovation in the marine industry and lead a new digital era," said Navico CEO, Leif Ottosson. "We see huge potential to bring our two teams together and accelerate growth."
Altor acquired the C-MAP brand and assets from Boeing in 2016, where it had operated as part of the company's Jeppesen Marine unit. "We're incredibly excited to join forces with Navico," said Sean Fernback, former CEO of C-MAP and now Navico Group CTO and corporate executive member. "We now have an opportunity to create a seamless experience by developing an ecosystem that combines the best hardware, software, services and applications."
C-MAP enjoys existing business relationships with a number of marine electronics brands outside of the Navico portfolio, including Raymarine, Humminbird, Furuno, Si-Tex and Koden. Details on what the merger with Navico could mean for these existing these partnerships remain to be seen.

Summer Nature Bucket List
School's out and everyone in your family is buzzing with ideas of what they want to do this summer. Take advantage of the flexibility of your summer schedule and get outside together. Do some of those things you have been wanting to do, but have just never gotten around to. I have found that visual reminders and checklists are a great way to motivate us to get things done. Don't you love being able to check things off your list?! Kids love to see progress, too. How about creating your own Summer Nature Bucket List?! I picked up this idea at the Children and Nature Network Conference in May and I love it! (Click here for full instructions from Nurture In Nature). You can make this as simple or fancy as you want to. Pick up a plastic beach bucket and some clothespins from the dollar store or turn it into a fun craft project by using other fun materials. We used a galvanized bucket, colored clothespins and washi tape - all from Michael's. Have fun with it!
We had a great time at the dinner table brainstorming what should be on our list. Everyone got to contribute. I am a firm believer that connecting families through conversation is a key component of creating families that are more connected and empathetic towards each other. Some of our ideas were as simple as catching lightning bugs, while others will take a little more planning, such as going to Assateague Island to see the wild ponies and hiking to a waterfall.
As you get things done and see your memories building in the bottom of the bucket, you can reflect on what you accomplish and see what you have to look forward to. Clip pictures to the clothespins as you finish your activities.Watch your memories grow before your eyes! What a great conversation starter if you have friends over during the summer! Click here for some bucket list ideas......
For a slight variation of the visual list idea, try a Boredom Buster jar. If you are like me, you dread the words, "I'm bored." If you are trying to promote getting your kids outside this summer (and I hope you are :-) ) they might need some ideas to get them started. Write a bunch of ideas on Popsicle sticks and put them in a mason jar or a cup. When one of your kids tells you they are bored, just point them to the jar and have them draw a stick. Once they get their creative juices flowing their creativity will kick in. Sometimes a little boredom is what they need to problem solve and come up with their own ideas. Resist the temptation to schedule every minute. Click here for a list of ideas......
Happy Summer Adventures!
Nothing ruins a good day of summer fun like a bad sunburn, bug bites or feeling dehydrated. If you are planning to spend any time outside with your kids this summer it is important to plan ahead to preempt any evenings filled with pain and itching, or worse yet, trips to the emergency room!
1. Put on Sunscreen.
It is a good practice to have your kids put on sunscreen as part of your child's dressing routine -that is a good way to not forget about it. If you have to stop and slather on sunscreen when they ask to go outside, it slows down their momentum! Not only does sunscreen prevent terrible burns in the short term, it prevents a future of skin cancer. I can attest firsthand to that - my husband grew up in South Florida, as a freckle-skinned, redhead, before the days of sunscreen hype. He now has to go to the dermatologist on a regular basis to get areas of skin cut off because of sun damage!
Ideally you should try to find shady areas to play in during peak sun hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). If this can't be done, make sure you have applied sunscreen and try to wear hats and clothes that cover arms and shoulders. My kids often swim in a t-shirt to avoid getting burns on their back. Also, places like Land's End and L.L. Bean sell some great long sleeve swim tops.
There is lots of new controversy about sunscreens. From my research, I am backing off spray sunscreens for kids - they are not regulated like lotions. No sunscreen is waterproof so, make sure you re-apply if you or your kids are swimming or out playing longer than 2 hours. There is no such thing as an SPF > 50. Click here for the American Academy of Pediatrics Recommendations
2. Stay Hydrated!
Drink Water - Lots of water!
If you are going to the park, on a hike or to the beach, make sure you pack lots of water for everyone. My rule of thumb is: pack how much you think you will need, and then add some more! Better to be safe than sorry. We have taken several hikes where we thought we had enough water with us, only to realize halfway in that we didn't bring enough. Luckily we made it out safely but we definitely were dragging by the end. If you plan to hike often, I recommend getting a water bladder that fits into a backpack. There are lots of options out there. My husband and I have the Platypus Big Zip bladders and have been very happy with them. They are easy to clean and fill.
BTW WATER is the BEST option for hydration. You may be tempted to grab a Gatorade for your kids but have you checked the labels? One serving of Gatorade has 32 grams of sugar - that is 8.5 packets of sugar! Kids, in general, are getting way too many empty calories these days. If you start them on water early, they will learn to love and appreciate it as the grow. Also, if you are a nature-lover, or learning to be one - plastic bottles from store-bought water are terrible for the environment! There are so many fun, refillable ones out there. Use one of those instead! Let your child choose one that they like and they will be happy to carry it! My son has a Star Wars one that he takes everywhere!
Children are more susceptible to dehydration and you need to take it seriously. Early signs of dehydration include fatigue, headache, dizziness, irritability, and extreme thirst. Refer to this link for more information.
3. Use Insect Repellant
Itchy, annoying bug bites…Not to mention my absolute least favorite bug - ticks! - a real summer deal-breaker! As much as I love nature, I am very squeamish when it comes to ticks and snakes!! But that is for another time :-).
I am not here to promote a particular product or give my opinion on whether DEET is safe or not - that is up to you to decide. To me, the proof is in the pudding - are we getting bug bites? I found these articles to be helpful and informative. I personally am going to try products with picaridin and see how they work.
Best insect repellents for kids
Best Insect Repellent
There has been a lot of news and information out there on Lyme's disease caused by deer ticks. It is serious concern, but certainly not a reason to stay inside.

Then Twitter might be a good choice. Are you selling elementary school educational software to stay at home moms? Then Facebook is the logical choice. What about Fashion to hipsters? Pinterest might be the way to go. You get the idea.
- What are you trying to do? If you are trying to do damage control you want to focus on the largest amount of your customers in the shortest time. Get some bad press, maybe an email to your client list is best. Worried about the impact on potential customers then the spend a little money target the platform where you have the most potential clients. But remember to plan now, when you don't have to. If you are trying to inform, than maybe a blog, or even an email newsletter may be the way to go. Want to be known as a thought leader in your field, Linkedin may be a good choice. Have a restaurant, then a location-based service like Foursquare might be the ticket, or maybe twitter to tell about your daily specials. There are as many options as there are types of businesses.
Follow your instincts on this. If you spend a few minutes profiling whom you are trying to target and what they are using you have a much better chance of hitting the mark.
Just follow your plan and your customers. Good luck.

Pulse shooting survivor Chris Brodman died in the early morning hours while attending a friend's birthday party in North Tampa Sept. 11.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office confirmed Brodman's identity Sept. 13 after notifying his next of kin.
Deputies found Brodman laying in the back yard of the Tampa residence unconscious, according to a HCSO press release. Several people and paramedics with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue paramedics attempted CPR to no avail. Brodman was pronounced deceased on scene.
"The Medical Examiners preliminary examination showed no physical signs of homicidal violence," HCSO Public Information Office Larry McKinnon says. "Now it's a matter of forensics and toxicology to come back from the Medical Examiner's Office to come up with the official cause of death."
Brodman's boyfriend, Cord Cedeno, took to Facebook with pictures of the two of them together, expressing his grief.
"I still can't believe my baby is gone. I can't sleep, I can't breathe, I don't know how I'm going to go on without him," Cedeno wrote.
Orlando News 6 spoke with Brodman days after he escaped Pulse.
"We went out to the patio to have a cigarette, and we were out there when the shots started to be fired," Brodman said. "I said, 'Run. Just run, run, run.' And we all just ran out the bar."
News 6 also went with Brodman as he got a Pulse tribute tattoo.
The HCSO will not be releasing more information pending further investigation.
Cedono has started a GoFundMe page to raise funds for Brodman's funeral expenses.

What is Term Insurance?
Term insurance is a life insurance plan that provides the beneficiary a financial coverage in the event of the death of the insured person within the term period.
One of the most misunderstood financial products in India is "Term Insurance". In fact, "Insurance" in itself is not understood or appreciated enough. Most people consider insurance as just another form of savings or tax savings instrument, which can earn them safe, stable returns over the long run.
Some products in the insurance space do provide this regular saving facility, but that is not the purest form of insurance.
The true and simplest meaning of insurance is – protection against risk. Now this risk may be to life or property or many other things. But in this article, let's focus on life insurance, and specifically term insurance.
It's a policy where you pay premiums in return for a benefit to your family in case you die, and you get nothing if you survive the insurance period.
Tell this to people and most will ask, "Why should I pay annually for a product if I am not going to get anything back?"
Very few understand that you pay premiums because there is a guarantee that if something happens to you, your family will be paid the pre-decided amount.
Therefore, you have the peace of mind that even if you are not there; your loved ones will not have to bear a financial loss as well.
Just consider this – In the unfortunate event of your death, your immediate family will receive sufficient amount to maintain their standard of living. This payout can also fund your child's education, help pay off your dues and even provide capital in case your spouse wants to start a business to support the family.
This is the reason term insurance is also known as a "pure risk" plan – simply because it mitigates the risk of you not being there to provide financial support to your family.
Why you must buy Term Insurance?
Of course, like everyone else, you also believe that nothing will happen to you. We, too, would wish the same for you. But the harsh truth is that this life is highly uncertain. There is always an element of concern or risk which leads you to ask the "What If?" question.
You must buy term insurance to answer this very question as the entire financial trauma arising out of that question will remain unanswered.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said former President Olusegun Obasanjo was aware of the health challenges of his successor, the late Umaru Yar'Adua before the 2007 presidential poll.
Fayose headed the Peoples Democratic Party's National Committee, which searched for the party's presidential candidate in the 2007 election.
The governor, in an interview in the current edition of The Interview magazine, alleged that Obasanjo caused all the confusion in Nigeria today because he was determined to install a stooge.
READ ALSO: Obasanjo lacks moral right to accuse anyone of corruption – Fayose
Fayose also stated that the late President told him that he was not healthy enough to become Nigeria's president.
He said members of the PDP's committee included a former Governor of Gombe State, Senator Danjuma Goje; a former Kaduna State Governor, Senator Ahmed Makarfi; the Senate President and ex-Kwara State Governor, Bukola Saraki, and a former Delta State Governor, Chief James Ibori.
Fayose stated that the majority of members of the committee were disposed to having Makarfi as the presidential candidate.
He added, "As a loyal Obasanjo boy then, I went to Obasanjo and told him that this committee that was set up, everybody seemed to prefer Makarfi except me and one other person and we were in the minority.
"Five out of seven governors wanted Makarfi. Then Obasanjo pointedly told me that Makarfi was too smart and would not be easily controlled by him."
Fayose stated that after Obasanjo's alleged third term ambition failed, the ex-President directed him to go and "sound Yar'Adua out on the ticket."
The Ekiti State governor quoted Obasanjo as saying, "Don't tell him I asked you to come. You just psyche him up."
He said he met Yar'Adua in the presence of Yakubu Tanimu, who later became the late President's economic adviser.
"I acted as directed by Obasanjo, but the man told me expressly that he was not well enough to aspire to be Nigeria's president; that the job would be too rigorous for him.
"After much persuasion, he then told me the only condition under which he might consider running was if all stakeholders would sign up and reach an agreement to pick him as the consensus candidate because he did not want any hassle," he added.
He recalled that before then, Yar'Adua was usually absent from the Council of State's meeting because of his health challenges.

Fayose stated, "I went to tell Baba (Obasanjo) what Yar'Adua told me. On the issue of Yar'Adua's ill health, I remember Obasanjo told me, 'Don't worry about his sickness; government money dey to manage his ill health."'
He claimed that Obasanjo "used" him to wreck the presidential ambition of former Vice- President Atiku Abubakar.
He said there was a time some PDP chieftains held a meeting in the house of the then Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.
According to him, the meeting, which he also attended, was meant to make Atiku a presidential candidate.
Fayose said before he got to his house, Obasanjo called to challenge him for attending a meeting with Atiku.
He stated that in the morning of the following day, he went to Atiku's house to tell him that Obasanjo was aware of their meeting.
"But no sooner did I enter Obasanjo's office than he barked, 'You went to Atiku's house again this morning. If you go again, I will crush you. If you go again, I will remove you as governor'.
"Obasanjo told me that when you capture a general and you don't kill him, he'll come back and kill you; that since Atiku tried to stop him and failed, he must pay for it. And he (Atiku) is still paying for it," the governor added.
The governor stated that before Obasanjo's third-term bid became obvious, he had a soft spot for an ex-Rivers State Governor, Dr. Peter Odili.
