Marina proposal causes a stir among Lake Margrethe property owners
Dan Sanderson | Staff Writer
A proposed permit to have a marina based off the north shore of Lake Margrethe was met with an abundance of opposition last week.
Staff from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality's (DEW) Waters Resources Division held a public hearing at the Grayling Township Hall on Wednesday, Jan. 10.
Lake Margrethe property owner Brad Lapworth is seeking a permit to install a seasonal dock. The dock would be 200-foot-long by three-feet wide with six 30-foot-long by three-feet-wide finger piers for the dockage of 12 boats. In addition, Lapworth proposes to construct a parking area.
Matt Kleitch, an environmental quality analyst with the DEQ, said the agency deals with permits requesting marinas, and the construction of docks which involve wetlands, shoreline protection and natural resources.
Under the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, Kleitch said the DEQ shall issue the permit if the project would not obstruct the public trust and riparian rights.
A riparian is a person who owns property on a lake, river or stream or body or water.
Kleitch added the permit could be issued if the construction of the marina is consistent with riparian rights of the applicant, does not unreasonably interfere with navigation, and is designed to operate within the correlative rights of other riparians including adjacent riparians. However, Kleitch said the permit would not be granted if the project would destroy the water and other natural resources of the state.
Over 60 people packed into the township hall, voicing strong opposition and a variety of concerns with the proposed marina.
Lapworth did not attend the hearing, but did take part in a brief interview with the Crawford County Avalanche.
Lapworth said he wants to provide an area for people to keep their boats, especially for people who own homes in the area which are not on the lakefront.
"I think there are people that would like to have boat slips instead of hauling their boats all of the time," Lapworth said.
Several people expressed concerns over potential car accidents occurring on M-72 West, where motorists are already exceeding the speed limit and high volumes of traffic are traveling to Traverse City.
"It would be a colossal mistake and it would be an opportunity for a very, very serious accident," Chuck Spencer said.
Others expressed concerns about pollutants flowing from the highway and the parking lot into the lake.
Tom Jarosz said property owners are already footing the bill to keep plant growth under control in the lake, and that would only get worse if the water quality is lowered.
"Generally, what I see at a marina is a lot more stagnant water that's not being used because you've got boats that are sitting there and you always see a lot more plant growth there," Jarosz said.
Joe Porter said that area of the lake is too shallow, expressing concerns that boat motors would have a negative impact on fish and turtle habitat.
"When you have a dock protruding that is so far out into the lake, it's going to be a water hazard and a boat hazard for anyone using our lake," Porter said.
Jeannette Kitchen expressed concerns about children swimming and wading in the lake.
"Everybody in that area has a boat," she said. "When you start putting that many more boats in that area, I think that is very concerning."
Kathryn Treston Aurand, an AuSable Canoe Marathon paddler, said the long dock would take away a training area for paddlers.
"We need to be close to shoreline," she said. "We cannot be out 200 feet, especially with the unpredictable winds that Lake Margrethe gives us."
Treston Aurand said her family strongly opposes increased boats on the lake.
"The reason we love this area is because of the clean water," she said. "We love the minimal boat traffic."
Hannah Smock also said the dock would deter paddle boarding on the lake.
"I really don't want to go out that far just to go around a dock," Smock said.
Dan Compton said the Lake Margrethe Campground, which is maintained by the Department of Natural Resources, offers an ample opportunity to put a boat into the lake.
"I think there are plenty of facilities for getting your boat in, and keeping them in the water and enjoying the lake without a 200-foot dock," Compton said.
Sherry Hanson questioned why Lapworth wants to place the dock away from his home on the lake.
"He does not want it by his property but he wants by somebody else's," Hanson said.
Kleitch said the deadline for written comment regarding the permit is Saturday, Jan. 20. He added that it would be about two months before the DEQ makes a final decision on the permit.
"We can't freestyle and make things up as we go," he said. We've got to stick to what's in the law."
If the permit is approved, the marina project would then go before the Grayling Charter Township Planning Commission for its consideration. A special use permit would be needed since the property is zoned residential and the marina would be a commercial operation.
Bob Dixon, the building and zoning director for Grayling Charter Township, said that the property where the dock is proposed to be built is designated as wetlands. Therefore, Lapworth does not pay property taxes because the property has been deemed unusable. That would change if the DEQ and planning commission approves the project.
"If he gets a dock permit, and he's able to use that property, that property will go back on the tax rolls," Dixon said.
Lapworth acknowledged the opposition expressed towards his project, adding that it is uncertain whether it will proceed forward.
"They're not happy," Lapworth said. "You can't make everybody happy. You see that with politics everyday on TV."
Lapworth said he has no intentions of damaging the lake.
"I don't think 12 boats will jeopardize or hurt our lake any," he said.

There is ever-mounting evidence that Yanukovych is employing blatant stalling tactics in regard to her release, calling into question the sincerity of his desire to move Ukraine in a westward direction. [Constant raised hopes, 'false dawns' and repeated tales of imminent release may be part of these tactics.]
Other members of the Customs Union, Belarus and Kazakhstan are going distinctly 'wobbly' on the Russians. This may explain the desperate measures to which Putin and his people are resorting, in an attempt to bully, and lately possibly to woo Ukraine back into Russia's sphere of influence.
Koshkina outlines one scheme allegedly being prepared by Yanukovych's team:
Tymoshenko is due to appear in UESU case hearings in a Kharkiv court in on October 25th. The prosecutors or possibly the penitentiary service may appeal to the hearing judge with a request to let Tymoshenko go abroad for treatment for a limited period, e.g. six months on the grounds of ill health, and then return to complete her sentence and face outstanding charges. The judge will naturally agree to this...But will Tymoshenko? If she does not, then it will be her who will be accused of having caused any possible failure to get the AA deal sealed in Vilnius in November. If no deal is concluded then, according to Koshkina it will be 'strict regime holidays' for the whole country [not just for YVT.]
Your bloggers view? It has long been apparent that Yanukovych has not been negotiating with the EU in good faith, despite appeals from every quarter of the globe, from many authorities, leading politicians etc.
Some European figures are already talking in terms of a pessimistic scenario. E.g. Vice-President of the European People's Party, Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, says: "There is no time now, and Ukraine's chances of signing the Association Agreement in November at the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius is decreasing rapidly. Ukraine must immediately demonstrate real progress. If it does not do this, then the EU will not sign an agreement solely on the basis of pure rhetoric."
Seasoned German Euro-deputy, Rebecca Harms comments: "Stubbornness in this dispute is blocking [progress for] the whole of Ukraine. I frequently ask myself why such irrationality is present on this issue? I first encountered this in examples of political conflicts in Eastern Europe". Politicians in Berlin and Brussels say that the dragging matters out until the last moment is very risky for Kyiv. 28 EU member states and the European Parliament should vote in support of the Association Agreement . This process can take years. Therefore, according to Rebecca Harms, Ukrainian government should not be taking such risks. [Source]
It has been generally accepted by western leaders that Tymoshenko's gas trial was a travesty of justice, and that she is a victim of selective justice..so why should she pay any fine? And what if the European Court of Human Rights rule in her favour again in the coming months and declares her human rights were abused during this trial? Will she get a refund?
Is Yanukovych stringing the Europeans along all these months in order to eventually get a better deal with Putin? This arrangement could eventually mean the end of messy elections with pesky observers, if it becomes a necessity. The overarching aim of this man is to copy other CIS leaders and remain in power; eventually enabling his son Oleksandr, whose business structures are already close to those of Putin's, to take over at the helm some point in the future...
The cat-and-mouse game over Tymoshenko, the bluffing and counter-bluffing, is a good indicator what EU - Ukraine relationship will look like in the future if the current Ukrainian leadership remain in place, irrespective whether theAA and DCFTA is signed or not. It's time to ditch the whole deal - not just kick the can down the road, but kick it into the long grass....[bad case of mixed metaphors..sorry]

"Work is God's gift to us," teaches Monsignor Ray East of the Archdiocese of Washington, at the start of The Dignity and Rights of Workers, the seventh and last installment of CST 101, a series of videos from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Relief Services (CRS). "We're able to use the different gifts that God has given us: physical gifts, spiritual gifts, mental gifts, to make the world a better place."
"Because the Church recognizes that every person is made in the image and likeness of God," adds CRS Vice President Joan Rosenhauer, "we also recognize that work exists for people. People don't exist for work"
Joan and Monsignor Ray and are joined by Cardinal Seán O'Malley, Archbishop of Boston, in teaching us how foundational a part of Catholic teaching the dignity and rights of workers are, how the story of man's relationship to work goes all the way back to Creation, how God placed us among His great creation, and invited us to take part in it.
CST 101 is a collaborative 7-part video series presented by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Relief Services on Catholic social teaching.
"All Catholics need to be aware that this is part of the way we live our life of discipleship: by promoting human dignity; by defending the worker's rights; by making our society more attentive to the needs of those who are most vulnerable." — Cardinal Seán O'Malley
The videos bring the themes of Catholic social teaching (the Church's collective wisdom and teaching on the values and Christian vision of a just society) to life and inspire us to put our faith into action.
Some suggested uses include adult faith formation, incorporating into high school theology classes, sharing with parents of religious education students, integrating into lay ministry formation and using them to prepare groups for service trips. Or simply for our own reflection, to better understand how we and our families exist in society along with our fellow creatures among God's creation, living and moving and bearing God's word.
We also invite you to use the following resources in your faith communities in conjunction with the video to help bring the fundamental Catholic principle of The Dignity and Rights of Workers alive in your faith family and beyond.
CST 101 Discussion Guide: Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers
A discussion guide to help a small group learn about and reflect on the Catholic social teaching principle Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers. This guide was developed in collaboration with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) as a part of the CST 101 series.
Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers Lesson Plan: Zambia
Lesson plans for grades 1-8 about the Catholic social teaching principle the Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers. The lesson plans help explain the principle through the story of a microfinance group in Zambia.
Featured in the series of videos is the wonderful artwork of Bro. Mickey O'Neill McGrath, OSFS, along with contributions from some of the most respected figures in contemporary Catholic thought:
As with The Dignity and Rights of Workers, each video is accompanied by a discussion guide, to be found at the CST 101 site. We hope you enjoy, share, and discuss this installment, along with the whole series, and hope that it will deepen your faith and that of your community.Other installments in the CST 101 series include
- Life and Dignity of the Human Person;
- Call to Family, Community, and Participation;
- Care for God's Creation;
- Option for the Poor and Vulnerable;
- Rights and Responsibilities; and
- Solidarity.
Please share with your communities, and watch this space for each installment to follow.

At the Tokyo Game Show a little earlier today, Capcom confirmed several new details regarding the Resident Evil 7 Biohazard release and demo. Currently available exclusively to PS Plus subscribers, we know that the demo has reached now over 3 million downloads worldwide since its release. We're also told that as of today (September 15th) a "Twilight" version of the demo will be released, which allows players to explore more of the mysterious, derelict mansion. The Twilight expansion will be available for all PS4 users to download.
We also have a new trailer released which can be seen just below, covering the intense new combat which can be expected in the title, however with graphics scenes and an 18 rating of course this is not for the feint of heart.
Pre-orders for Resi 7 will as well soon be available on PS4 across Europe, the Middle East and Africa and things seem to be going down the same road as most other titles at the moment.
The standard edition of the title can be pre-ordered shortly for €64.99 / £49.99 and will include a custom theme for your console.
Users in the EMEA regions will also have the option to pre-order the Day-1 Survival Edition, or Deluxe edition, with the Day-1 edition being available to purchase only until the games full release (the price here being €69.99/ £52.99) and will contain
- Custom theme for your console
- Survival Pack (consumable health items in game, an early unlock of Madhouse mode and a Lucky Coin in game item which we have yet to hear more about)
The Deluxe Edition is priced at €94.99/ £69.99 will include all the content from the Day-1 Survival Edition as well as a Season Pass containing access to three additional playable story episodes which will be launching after the title's release
Preorders for Microsoft and Steam digital releases will be available in the coming weeks and of course the game launches fully on January 24th, early next year. Resident Evil 7 Biohazard will be available on Playstation 4, Playstation VR, Xbox One and PC upon launch.

One of the plays my sister and I used to play when we were little kids. We used badminton rackets, sat on a mattress and imagined we were on an adventure, in a huge wild river, in the middle of the jungle. Haha it was a lot of fun! Now my sister uses the racket to play badminton properly and well! I don't.. >__<
It was her birthday few days ago. So proud of you, Sis!

The name of MOXI Junction coffeehouse is an apt play on moxie as in courage, determination and purposeful activity. How better to sum up Joanna Kilgores determination to open a business that serves the general public while providing employment for individuals with special needs?
I never intended to own a coffee shop, Kilgore said. Its not been a dream of mine. I think God just decided I think you need to put a coffee shop here, and I said okay.
What Kilgore did dream about was finding a useful activity for her son, Laren, who is 27 years old and has autism. After leaving high school, Laren was unable to find a job. He was pretty much laying around the house, totally depressed, I guess, his mother said. Kilgore knew her son loved to watch traffic, especially school buses. When she spotted a property with three dilapidated homes on it for sale on a busy street near Maize schools, she got an idea.
I thought Ive got some friends who have kids who would love to work in a coffee shop, she said.
The idea for MOXI Junction was born, with MOXI standing for Mothers Of Exceptional Individuals and Junction representing a place where all our hopes, dreams and community could come together, Kilgore said. But dreams dont become reality overnight. It took four years to get the place open. Kilgore originally wanted to renovate the propertys homes. That plan fell through when they collapsed.
So she decided to build new, in a style that reminded her of an old home and that would fit into the surrounding residential area: a one-and-a-half story white home with blue trim and a porch that ran around two sides, with a pergola and patio to complete the picture. A location was just one hurdle to leap.
Everything took me longer because I didnt know what I was doing, said Kilgore, who had no previous experience in the hospitality industry. I just refused to give up. I just plodded along.
MOXI Junction opened in July, serving specialty coffee drinks, tea, smoothies, fresh-baked goods and lunch. On the main floor are the kitchen and seating for about 25 people. Upstairs is a room used by community groups for meetings. Theres more seating outside.
Each hour of the day, I get kind of a specific set of customers, Kilgore said. I have parents who come in with their kids before school; Ive got parents whove already dropped off their kids; Ive got some business people who come in for the Wi-Fi. We do a lot of bridge clubs and book groups. In the afternoon, we get parents picking up their kids. The middle school [students] come in after they get out of school.
Fifteen special-needs individuals come to the coffee house most days to work and train for jobs. Kilgore works with the Maize school district and Maize TransNet, which helps individuals up to the age of 21.
They mow the lawn, they do our laundry, recycle boxes for us, Kilgore said. Ive got two bakers who are absolutely awesome and a cleaner whos about the best employee ever. Instead of fitting them into a job, I made a job that fit them.
That includes her son, who is MOXIs greeter. He comes at 6 in the morning and stays until 5 at night, she said. He opens the door for absolutely everyone. He speaks to them. Hes autistic, so talk- ing is a huge deal.
Kilgore thanks her nonspecial employees manager Richard Rathbun IV and baristas Kerensa Brillhart and Sierra Butler for much of the places success. The coffee house displays original work by local artists and has hosted events such as a jazz concert. Kilgore said she believes the coffee house has become a welcome addition to the area.
Kilgore credits her businessman husband, Leonal Kilgore, for providing financial backing. As good as it feels for them to provide those opportunities, Kilgore knows MOXI will only survive if it continues to meet the expectations of customers.
First of all, we are a very high quality bakery and coffee shop, she said. Our focus is on quality and customers. I want them to know we just happen to employ many special-needs individuals.

I'm finally getting to dealing with the long-awaited weekend, which has come and gone. Did it measure up to my expectations?
My colleague Steve Smith wrote about last Friday night's Immortal show on his blog, and I agree with pretty much everything, including the pungency of the air in the venue and the observation that "the band got the job done." To me, the show lacked that intengible bit of ooomph that would have made it transcendent. (It didn't help that after a while, Abbath starts sounding like a burping toad.) Let's put it this way: It was good, but it wasn't evil, the way 1349 was a few months ago.
The audience was also red-hot with eager anticipation—but easier on the nose—the following night at City Center. The subtitle of the evening might as well have been: The Best Musical Ever with the Star Who Was Born to Be in It. In other words, we were there to see Patti LuPone play Mama Rose in Gypsy.
My colleague Adam Feldman raves about the show in TONY, and I agree with quite a few of his observations (especially how great Laura Benanti is). But to me the production misses transformative transcendence by a mile. Some of it has to do with the insane level of expectation, something I was as guilty as everybody else. But there's no helping Arthur Laurents' perfunctory staging. It's a textbook illustration of the fact that being close to the material—and Laurents, who wrote Gypsy's book, is as close as can be—may not be a good thing when it comes to translating it to the stage.
Here's what I'd love to see but never will, or at least not while Laurents is alive, and not until New York producers grow some balls: Go dark on Gypsy. And I don't mean call Sam Mendes—no, go real dark and give the show to Ivo van Hove or Thomas Ostermeier. Let them dynamite Gypsy to reveal the negative force that sucks everything into its ashen vortex: Let Rose be a real monster, without sugarcoating her by unearthing flickering embers of warmth or suggesting that deep inside she does mean well.
When Baby June grows up and still does her same old kiddie number, Rose should be the selfish, manipulative creator of a creepy adult JonBenet. When the troupe ends up at the burlesque house, the strippers should be run-down hags shooting heroin, and when Rose pimps out Louise to a stripping career, it should look like a mother selling her daughter into white slavery.
Gypsy should be more than drama, for in that case drama is the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine go down for wimpy theatergoers. No, Gypsy should be staged like the tragedy it really is. And I say, bring it on!

Links for 12.15.09: Honest to God, don't look at those embroidered pillows.
*Shows: Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer will be playing together at a run of concerts in Poland and the Czech Republic in June.
*Marketing: Seth Godin has compiled an ebook called "What Matters Now." It's made up of very short musings on apparently hot topics. The ones I've read have been bad, but the design is nice. And maybe some of them will be ok? Remember Squidoo? Ugh.
*Twitter: Read up on the top Twitter trends of 2009. Twitter's trending topics was an atrocity. I derive much less joy out of the platform than I once did. It's sad to say that.
*Stock stuffers: Warning, these embroidered pillows are SUPER dirty. Really; they're NSFW. And that phrase before the colon there was sort of a euphemism, not a suggestion. Please; just don't click on the link. [c-monster]
*Cessation: MC Frontalot uses Dungeons and Dragons to quit smoking. "Name your character. Mine's Breathorr Inflatagon, a level 2 Lung Elf." I have never played Dungeons and Dragons (not even once), but I have smoked about three cartons of cigarettes in my life. I don't advise it. [waxy]
*Sports: Watch the top 10 hockey fights of the past decade. I do not condone fighting. Or hockey. [via a canadian, as it should be]
*Watch: The Fluid Piano is an acoustic instrument with microtonal tuning for every note. Sorry about the pre-roll ad. [coudal]
*Design: Check out these web services as seen through the aesthetic of retro manuals. That sentence may be gibberish now, but trust me on this one. There you go. Easy. [laughingsquid]

STARS HOLLOW, CONN. (MEDIA GENERAL)—Any avid "Gilmore Girls" fan will agree–there's nothing quite like a good cup of coffee—with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as Lorelei Gilmore would say, "with [her] oxygen."

The Eskenazi Museum of Art's Genji screens are going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York! According to John Carpenter, Mary Griggs Burke Curator of Japanese Art at the Met, "the screens will be included in the exhibition The Tale of Genji: A Japanese Classic illuminated (March 5–June 16, 2019), the first major show in North America to focus on the artistic tradition inspired by Japan's most celebrated work of literature. Covering the period from the eleventh century to the present, The Tale of Genji will feature more than 120 works, including paintings, calligraphy, silk robes, lacquer wedding set items, a palanquin for the shogun's bride, and popular art such as ukiyo-e prints and modern manga. Highlights include two National Treasures and several works recognized as Important Cultural Properties. For the first time ever outside Japan, rare works will be on view from Ishiyamadera Temple." The Eskenazi Museum screens will be displayed prominently, across from the Jodoji Temple fan screens and in the same room as the Harvard Genji Albums.
Tale of Genji, which was written in the early eleventh century by the court lady Murasaki Shikibu, is often called the first modern novel composed in any language. The original manuscript no longer exists, but many copies, though fragmentary, survive in the form of 54 chapters and 750,000 words, although there is some disagreement as to the order. The tale revolves around the life of Prince Genji and his descendants, their loves, losses, jealousies, and sorrows in the context of life in the Japanese imperial court. The central character, Genji, is the perfect courtier—handsome, clever, and accomplished—but his life, and those of his descendants, is overshadowed by sadness, guilt, and remorse.
The Eskenazi Museum's screen is unusual in that it illustrates only two moments, rather than many, from the tale. The screen on the right is from the chapter entitled "Murasaki," or "Lavendar." Murasaki, one of Genji's enduring love interests, is depicted as a young girl in the center of the veranda. Her pet bird has escaped to the highest branches of the flowering cherry to the left. Genji peeps through the fence, seeing Murasaki for the first time.
The screen on the left is from the chapter "Ukifune" (sometimes translated as floating or drifting boat) and depicts Genji's grandson Niou catching a glimpse of Ukifune, who sits with her serving women folding clothes.
By illustrating story lines from the early and late chapters of the tale, the unknown artist creates emotional and karmic bookends that invite the viewer to contemplate the various narrative threads and emotional entanglements that occur across generations.

New Docket Column: Law Student Chronicles
Last year, approximately 460 students in Colorado began law school. These students are facing a profession and education that some say is in the middle of a dramatic change.
In light of this, we decided to ask four 1L law students, two from each of Colorado's law schools (Colorado Law and Denver Law), to submit articles for our new column "Law Student Chronicles" twice per year, for five years. The articles will focus on what it is like to be a law student today, with each student having unique situations and backgrounds. After graduation, we will follow them for a couple more years as they venture out into the legal field. The blog and print publication are open for comments, so please throw in your two cents online or by emailing me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Whether you are a law student or already a lawyer, we want to know your opinion.
Deanna Alfred is a 1L at Colorado Law. Alfred is a recent graduate of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where she grew up, with a degree in English, emphasis in creative writing. As an undergrad, she won various scholarships for creative writing pieces. Her hobbies include playing left forward on the soccer field, painting, hiking, and curling up with a good book. Alfred has a passion for travel, and learning more about the world and the cultures within it—and is well into her 'bucket list' of visiting at least five countries on every continent.
Ty Nagamatsu is a 1L in the JD/LLM in Environmental Natural Resources Law at Denver Law. Prior to law school, Nagamatsu served with AmeriCorps in Minneapolis, where she worked with Hmong and Somali refugee children at a drop-in youth center. As an undergrad, she spent time abroad working on both sustainable agriculture and migratory labor issues in La Ceiba, Honduras and Al Ain, U.A.E. Nagamatsu's goal is to practice international law at the confluence of human rights and natural resources. Outside of school, she enjoys playing rugby, urban farming and hiking with her husband and new baby.
Gurney "Zamir" Pearsall is a 1L at Colorado Law. A Houston native, Pearsall graduated magna cum laude from Yeshiva University. As an undergrad, he interned for Congressman Rangel in his Harlem district office and traveled to Moscow to teach Judaics and English as a second language. Pearsall is the vice president of the Jewish Law Students' Association at Colorado Law. He recently finished the Colorado Cup 1L Mock Trial Competition as a semi-finalist expert witness. Pearsall intends on becoming an officer candidate in the U.S. Marine Corps, and is an avid fan of "The Walking Dead!"
Shaquille Turner is a 1L at Denver Law. Turner attended Howard University in Washington D.C., where he received a a B.A. in Political Science, and was an Army ROTC cadet and member of the Bison Battalion. He graduated with honors and was commissioned into the U.S. Army as a Second Lieutenant. A Denver native, Turner was excited to return home to attend law school. When he isn't studying, he volunteers at the Christian Legal Clinic of Metro Denver, is an active member of his church, and mentors students at Denver East High School. Following graduation, Turner plans on entering the U.S. Army JAG Corps.

The wellbeing of our passengers is important to us, even in situations where special comfort is required.
See what precautions to take and the conditions we have arranged for you.
The wellbeing of our passengers is important to us, even in situations where special comfort is required.
See what precautions to take and the conditions we have arranged for you.
The following are required in these cases:
The cabin air pressure in commercial aircraft is lower than the air pressure at the earth's surface. This factor does not affect most passengers, but passengers with certain health problems should take this into account.
This is the case of passengers who have had an orthopedic injury (e.g., fractures) requiring immobilization by plaster cast. In these cases, medical approval must be obtained to be able to travel. To request approval, the passenger's attending physician must fill out this form, which should then be sent to TAP, by fax or email (see contact info above):
In addition, if the plaster cast was applied less than 48 hours before the flight, the cast should be split to prevent circulatory problems and discomfort.
A wheelchair may be required to get to the aircraft, and you may need extra space for your legs during the flight.
Flight of any duration - Buy two extra seats: the passenger leans against the window and places the immobilised leg on the other two seats. If the right-hand limb is injured, the passenger is placed on the left-hand side of the aircraft, and vice-versa.
For more information, refer to the general information on preventing health problems, available here.
The following rules apply to transporting a passenger on a stretcher in a medical case situation:
The reservation must include the following information:
Code-share flights are subject to special conditions.? Contact us.
Passengers are not allowed to use their own oxygen, and the crew cannot administer oxygen.
However, they must contact the TAP Contact Center to find out about the specific conditions for their flight.

Hello everyone! Today is my final Barcelona post and I wanted to give you a round up of interesting things to do if you're visiting the city and need an idea or two. I've listed some places to eat, things to do and things to see, so read on to hear my picks!
1 - Best Ice Cream - Cremeria Toscana
In the summer, Barcelona is hot. You will want an ice cream. Sam and I were spoiled by the Gelaterias in Venice and so we've grown a bit picky when it comes to ice cream (we like a good mint choc chip... It's my dairy-free kryptonite). The best place we found in Barcelona and visited multiple times was 'Cremeria Toscana'. There are two branches of it in town, both open late. Is it a bit wrong to be flogging an Italian ice cream parlour in my Barcelona recommendations? No. Ice cream is ice cream, and this place was the best.
Find them here: Auténtico Helado Italiano Artesanal en Barcelona, Tiendas en la C/ Muntaner 161 (T. +34 93 539 38 25) y C/ Princesa 26 (T. +34 93 185 44 67)
2 - Best Light Dinner - Pikio Taco
I know what you're thinking, 'Steph, now you're flogging Mexican food-- where's the authenticity?!'
I get it, that's to come! Scroll down and it's there. For now, please admire the beauty of Pikio Taco and stare lovingly into the nachos. They have veggie options too, which I loved, and they're a great light dinner option for when it's hot and muggy and you want a dinner but don't want to have to suffer for it. It had a great vibe, all the food was whipped up fresh in front of your eyes and they did fab cocktails too.
Find them here: Pikio Barcelona, Carrer de Còrsega, 376, 08037 Barcelona Telephone: +34 934 57 32 52
3 - Best Mojitos - Cactus Bar
By no means am I an alcoholic in any way, but I do like a bevvy when I'm on holiday. I would say we went out for Mojitos nearly every night and tried a real variety. There were tons of contenders for best Mojitos, including the Lolita bar by the seafront off La Ramblas (delicious, quite a long walk out the way though) and also Cornelia & Co in town (also perfect, but really more of a restaurant and a bit unwelcoming, although instagrammable). The accolade this time has been handed to Cactus Bar, because although it was a little bit more on the seedy side, it had really good going out-out vibes if that's what you're after. It's right in the middle of the foodie district too, so not a bad place to find yourself wound up at the end of the night!
Find here: Passeig Del Born 30, Rec 3808003 Barcelona
5 - Best Cocktails - The Dry Martini Speakeasy
Directly on the flip side of that, if you're the kind of person that likes to feel like they're an extra in a bond movie on holiday then The Dry Martini is the place for you. The waiters and 'mixologists' wear lab coats and bow ties, the walls are decked in paintings of babes reclining in Marie-Antoinette flutes and the cocktails are complex and artisanal. The perfect place for a grown-up evening-- just make sure you don't miss the last train!
Find them: Calle Aribau, 162, 08036 Barcelona, Spain. Phone: +34 932 17 50 80
6 - The Best Market - La Boqueria, La Ramblas
Here we are people, authenticity in spades! La Boqueria market off of La Ramblas is truly a sight to behold. Bustling, urban, it will make you feel like you're living a Rachel Khoo life. Bring a wicket basket and your loose euros and have a good old stroll.
Find it here: La Rambla, 91, 08001 Barcelona
7 - Best Paella - Travel Bar
My cousin Kerry is a real international traveller type, and when I told her I was visiting Barcelona she couldn't recommend Travel Bar to me enough. As the name suggests, it's a real melting pot of people who have travelled to Barcelona from all around the world coming together to get a bit of culture. Kerry recommended the Paella Making Experience to me, and it wound up being one of the holiday highlights by far. It's €32 per person so not super cheap, but for that you get shown around the market where you buy all the fresh Paella ingredients, brought back to an open kitchen where you're shown how to whip up a few authentic dishes and instructed how to make the perfect Sangria. Bottomless drinks, limitless paella, and the chance to wear a chef hat? I was all in. I fully recommend it.
Find them: Carrer de la Boqueria, 27, 08002 Barcelona, Spain Phone: +34 933 42 52 52 (definitely book in advance!)
8 - Best Place to Wander - Plaça de Catalunya
I think it's fair to say that Plaça de Catalunya is sort of the Barcelona equivalent to Oxford Circus Station in London. It's in the middle of everything, home of all the good shops, and also a pretty good indicator of Barcelona architecture. Sam and I wandered for probably two hours (admittedly looking for the two Brandy Melvilles, thanks Sam!) and there is tons to see. There are Gaudi sprinkles everywhere and art around every corner so plenty to see in amongst the hubbub of commuters and tourists alike. Don't be afraid of the touristy bits!
Find it: Plaça Catalunya Estació
That's the end of my Barcelona guide and my Barcelona posts, I hope you enjoyed them-- I've been missing the weather.
Until next time,

Mobile applications are no longer an option good to have, they're absolute must. According to Statista, by the year 2017, the total estimated app revenues are expected to be 76.54 billion U.S. dollars. This is a serious business.
There is still a tug-of-war between Native and Hybrid applications. The former provides performance, while the latter is a quicker way to make an app available on various platforms. And what about Web apps? Well, as they are accessible through traditional web-browsers and their URL, they do not necessarily qualify for a mobile application. They just give an app-like experience in the mobile browser.
Native Vs. Hybrid Apps
Native Apps: They are platform-specific and are built by using development tools and language that a platform supports. They are specifically written in the platform's language, such as an iOS app is written in Objective-C and an Android app is written in Java. Native apps provides advanced UI interaction and a better performance. A native app once developed for a platform cannot be used on another platform and the code needs to be largely rewritten.
By now you must have understood what basic things do separate these types of applications.
So it is all about providing better performance vs. ease of development. The reason companies go the Hybrid way is to thinly veil their website layout and structure in the app format, and hence hybrid apps look very similar across the platforms, be it web, or Android, or iPhone.
And what about Web Apps?
These are simply the websites that have the easy-navigation capabilities of an app. These apps don't reside in app-store but use advanced HTML 5 and CSS to have app-like features.
Facebook was a hybrid app until 2012. Later, Facebook chose to go the native way for each platform such as iPhone, Android, Windows and BB 10.
Now-a-days as users are more demanding than ever, developers increasingly prefer native apps to hybrid ones. When the apposphere was relatively new, developers were reaping benefits by having an easy to maintain hybrid apps on every platform. More availability meant more users as the number of apps were not even 1/10th of what it is today. As the platforms are maturing and the hardware is more competent to handle tasks, native apps are better positioned to utilize the phone's features.
Answering a few concerns
I am really short on budget, what to do? – Develop a native application for the platform where your audience lies.
I am not sure about my app's idea. – You may try to come up with web app first. This will allow you to circumvent the development fee that you need to pay to the platform you're developing an app for.
Try to market your idea and build a traffic to your web app. If the feedback is positive, track the OS your visitors more likely to have. If more traffic is coming from iOS, you can develop a native iOS application. However, if your traffic is distributed fairly uniformly, you can develop a hybrid app. But here's the thing, not every application can be modeled around web development language.
I can outsource the development part. – Great! Wisely choose a professional mobile application development company, discuss your budget, and the company will tell you an optimum path forward.
I am building a basic application- For an application that doesn't use advanced UI features, hybrid app will suit the need just as well.
I have the resources to develop a native app for each platform. – I won't advise you to go all-in until you have a team to handle update and maintenance tasks. Native applications are resource-intensive as they demand a separate project for each platform.
Native, Hybrid, and Web apps, each has its own pros and cons. The native applications win the race of performance, and it matters. Web or hybrid apps can be effective if it is limited to news portal or simple content navigation.

I would like to cancel my service. I only have 1 bar and none of our smart tvs can even recognize the service. The tech mounted out modem in the attic of the garage. Another tech came out to try to fix or give ideas, and although he was wonderful, he, too, admitted that there was no way to remount the modem unless we had an electrician to be contracted. This service does not work for us, and is unusable. I work on my computer out of my home office everyday. I have used my hotspot on my phone becuase this service has been so poor. Please contact me to have this service contract cancelled. Thank you,Shana Neely [phone number removed for security]
Shana, this is a public forum, not a direct way to contact Exede. They will need to speak with you to cancel your service so, you need to call 855-463-9333.
I called and they did not support the issue. They say I cannot be excused from our contract (24 month) - this is wrong. Want me to purchase additional equipment to try to "fix" the issue.
I wish I could have reported a more position experience. It was awful.
I wish I could have reported a more position experience. It was awful.
It sounds to me that you are complaining about the built-in routers signal strength, not service itself. Then I have to ask, why can the modem only he placed in the attic? Cable length? And why would you need an electrician to change where the modem is placed? Sounds like a strange installation to me.
I do not know - this is what the Excede technician suggested. There is a 150 ft max length and I guess that is why they placed the modem where they did - buy why in a garage attic? We can't even physically connect to it. the 2nd tech came out and explained that I'd have to have an electrician run cable but couldn't assure me it would work. Suggested I purchase boosters/extenders as well. The add'l cost is not worth the risk in my opinion. I am so saddened by the lack of customer support here.
Why would you put a modem in an attic? Attics get hot. Heat will destroy an electronic device.
Exactly - why would they? I wasn't there and my husband (he doesn't understand technology) was onsite but trusted that the tech would "do what was right' . I was traveling for work and never in a million years would have thought an installer would have done such a thing. I was appalled. We can't even connect through a cable because it is in the garage attic!
Not to mention how would you ever unplug the modem to reset it. Sounds to me like the installer didn't want to run the cable properly to an accessible location in the house.
I agree. I have called so many times; had 2 techs out; and spoke to a supervisor today. Because my modem is "live" they will not let me out of my contract. Please beware of this company. I am saddened that customer service could be lowered to this level.
And situations like THIS ladies and gentlemen is why I do all my own installs.
You should NEVER install a modem in an attic or even a garage for that matter. The variations in temp and humidity are a sure fire way to cause an early failure.

Which is why you're not on my naughty dealers list, Andy. :-)

(former Partner Support agent here)
Matt, I think you were one of the agents my sister-in-law loved to get when she called. Her name is Erin and my business name is Clear Choice Satellite. Ring a bell?
Clear Choice Satellite does, yes. Couldn't say Erin does though.
And you are ever SO SMART! I just wish I had chosen to be home during ours (I was traveling with work). I am simply dumb-founded as to why a technician would have done such a thing. Now, I get no support except to spend more money to "see" if it gets better. No deal
I am willing to bet bad installs cause the top complaint against the Exede service as they can cause so many issues. Improper grounding, poor dish alignment, improper cable, etc.
A lot of installers can become Exede certified. Whether they follow the guidelines is another story.

I will second VeteranSatUser here, and would also like to add poor location servicing to the list of issues that 3rd party installers can cause. For example, the installer that originally set up my Exede service tried to tell me that I should be "thankful" that I only had to wait a week for a service call when my internet service went completely out about a month after it was installed since he had seen cable companies leave their customers without service for 15 days. Needless to say, I looked for and found another installer that agreed to give me a next business day service call if my internet service were to go completely out, and then had Exede switch me to that other installer.
I would strongly suggest that if any of you know someone wanting to get Exede installed that they go to exede.com and use the local retailer look-up feature. Look for the retailer that is at the TOP of the list...Exede tends to rank retailers by their track record. A local retailer is typically going to be MUCH more concerned with keeping you happy because they are going to want you to refer customers to them.
I've had a bad experience with the installer, with the customer support and supervisor. I am simply amazed that a company like this can even stay in business.
@Shana Neely
It looks like you received a totally botched installation. You should be able to get another technician to come out at no charge and install it properly this time. I do know that Exede service can be made to work great because it does for me. If you can't get results at 855-463-9333, you can email email@example.com and have them get your install done right for you.

thank you, Michelle. I would have thought so, but we did have another tech to come out, and he. too, agreed that the service in our location, may not be better. I'd have to go to major expense (electrician to run wiring, purchase extenders/boosters) to even "see" if it might get better. The company won't excuse the 24 month contract even knowing that. Amazes me. We have 22 months to go, paying $70 per month for something we can't even use. Makes me sick to my stomach to me honest.
When our Internet was installed, the installer didn't use a long enough cable so instead of the cable running along the edge of the roof, it runs right across the middle. Is that normal?
No, that is a sure fire sign of an installer not wanting to take the time to do a proper installation. I take it by your statement "runs right across the middle" that you mean he draped the coax across the roof's surface to go from the front of the house to the back.
The dish is on the far end of the garage towards the peak. The cable runs across the roof down to the eaves and down to the crawl space.. The modem is not in the attic. But if we use a roof rake for snow we have to be careful not to get the cable caught.
But if we use a roof rake for snow we have to be careful not to get the cable caught.As Andy Schack said, that is a sure fire sign of an installer not wanting to take the time to do a proper installation. It's only a matter of time before something does catch on that cable. Why didn't the installer run the cable in the attic under that roof and down to the crawl space?
We have a manufactured home with no attic. The cable runs to the corner of the house and down to the crawl space.
I install systems on quite a few manf homes. The proper way to run the coax from a peak install would be to run the coax in the J channel if it has vinyl siding. I've done several lately that have that cement board siding. In that case I use screw clips and run the coax along the corner where the soffit meets the wall and then down the corner board. Following an existing straight line helps the coax to "blend" and not be so noticeable.
Pretty much what everyone has said. It sounds like a bad install. The modem should not be in the attic, where it is exposed to temperature changes.
Call into Customer Care, as Bev suggested, but before asking to disconnect, request a tech come out to take a look.

Thank you, but I've tried. I've probably spent 4 or 5 or maybe even 6 hours total on the phone talking to customer service and even a supervisor, and they just want me to buy more equipment (a stronger router or extender/boosters) to make it better. I'm not willing to do that when I am already paying $70/mth for limited access. Currently I get 1 bar directly under the garage attic where the modem in mounted. This isn't right and it is absolutely poor service. I've been in the service industry for 30+ years and I've never experienced such pushback.
May I recommend the following:
- The customer service people you have been talking to are 3rd party script driven filters that don't work for Exede and obviously haven't done what it takes to fix your problem. Instead, you can communicate using email@example.com which is monitored by people who do work for Exede directly. Exede Brad, requesting your assistance here.
- Next, we need to find a local dealer that will come out and do a proper install for you so that you get the Exede service you deserve, which would then be the Exede service I am currently getting. Obviously, the local dealer that did your current install doesn't care about giving you the service you deserve, so you need to change to a local dealer who will do a proper install for you.
- By proper install, I mean the Exede modem is in your house, at a location that is roughly at the center of where you have all of your devices that access the internet, and that all of the necessary cable is provided by the local dealer to connect the modem to the tria on the dish, wherever that might be located. Contrary to what the customer service people have told you, you do not need any additional equipment. If the install is done properly, the equipment you currently have should work just fine. Please keep in mind that the cable between the modem and the tria needs to be at least 40 feet. If less cable is needed to get from the modem to the tria, then the excess length needs to be neatly rolled up and put next to the modem. Your current local dealer claiming that an "electrician needing to be contracted" is a load of garbage. Neither the Exede modem nor the tria are hardwired into the house's electrical wiring, so no electrician is needed, period. This is yet another reason you need to change to another local dealer who will do your install properly.
- You need to do what is called a sales channel change. However, you first need to find an Exede dealer that will do a proper install for you. The following URL should pull up the list of local dealers for your location: http://www.exede.com/locate-a-dealer/?zip= <enter your zip code here>. The local dealer need not be located right where you live. A local dealer could be as far away as 100 miles (or more) and still be willing to service your location. Then, you can call each of those dealers until you find one that will do a proper install for you. Once you have that dealer, get that dealer's Exede sales ID # and then email firstname.lastname@example.com to get a ticket opened to do a sales channel change to that dealer. If you include in the email the Exede sales ID # for the local dealer you want to change to, as well as that local dealer's name, address and phone number, it will very greatly speed up the sales channel change.
Thank you for these suggestions. I agree with all and the proper installation is all we could ever ask for (other than the fact that we can actually use it - right now none of our smart tvs can pick up even one bar although they see my neighbors wifi with 3 bars and he is 3 acres away). I honestly just don't think this device is the right one for us. I can't imagine going through this ever again for silly internet service. I am just ready for it to be over.

YumeTwins Subscription Box June 2018 Unboxing Review
I've found a new way to satisfy my Kawaii needs. It was high time to try a new subscription box and I wanted to go for a different route, other than books. Every month I will post an unboxing of my YumeTwins box. YumeTwins is a Kawaii themed subscription box which features 6-8 items a month.
(Learn how to get $5 off your first box below.)
What was in the box
1. Cinnamoroll Plushie
This character is so cute. If you're a Sanrio fan, then chances are that you are familiar with him. If not, he's a puppy who has a tale rolled up in the shape of a cinnamon bun.
2. Shining Clear Case
There were 7 types of cases that you could get and the character is random in each box. I received Sumikkogurashi, a bunch of characters whose name translates to "Adventures in Cuddly Corners". (Weird, but cute LOL)
3. Ice Cream Kuritaro Puffy Stickers
These are actually pretty cool. I've always loved stickers. I used to collect them as a kid. So this totally spoke to me. They're so pretty, that I actually don't want to use them. Apparently these are scented, but I couldn't get a whiff through the packaging.
4. Water Manju Squishy
It's so fun squeezing and mashing on this little guy. He has a permanent spot on my desk (I guess until he wears off). He is modeled after a dessert in japan called transparent mochii. He was also available in different styles and I received the blue bear.
5 & 6. Rilakkuma Fragrance Clip and a 3 Piece Animal Food Clip Set
Rilakkuma is also a Sanrio character. The clip has a slightly lemon-y scent to it, but not overwhelming. This one was also a chance to get different characters from the Rilakkuma series and I got him. The animal food clip set, I will probably not use but it is a cool idea. You can set the date that you opened your food stuff, so you know when it expires.
There you have it! A total of 6 items in this month's box. If you are interested, I have a referral code that you can use and get $5 off your first box! I also get a free box if three people use that code. 🙂
Are you a Kawaii fan? Do you have a favorite Sanrio character?

[Plugin: WP Invoices Ultimate] Small Bugs Found
I found some small bugs in the plugin that I was wondering if you could do an update for. In wp-invoice-options.php on line 9, it should be "#options" with an "s":
return $options[$option_name];//return $option[$option_name];
This bug is creating an issue with notifications where the options set do not override the default information.
In wp-invoice-options.php on line 499, I found a bug that causes the tax rate to prefix a zero every time the settings form is sent. I added a sprintf function to add a leading zero if needed, instead of concatenating a string.
$plugin_options['invoice_payment_tax'] = sprintf("%02s", $plugin_options['invoice_payment_tax']); //'0'.$plugin_options['invoice_payment_tax'];
I've taken an interest in this project as it is the best (simple) invoicing plugin that I've found even in its beta form. If you are looking for collaborators on this project, I wouldn't mind contributing. Let me know if that is something you would be interested in. Thanks.
- The topic '[Plugin: WP Invoices Ultimate] Small Bugs Found' is closed to new replies.

The last couple weeks my cardio and point tracking goals have fallen by the wayside. I wanted to focus on those two things this week, but was a tad concerned because it was a holiday weekend.
Finding the time Making myself exercise over a normal weekend is hard enough, but a three day weekend? Unheard of. 🙂 So imagine my surprise when I decided to go and walk the "loop" Monday morning!
Including the walk from my neighborhood (and back) it was 2.37 miles.
This walk took 00:52:35. Not my best time, but it was SOOOOO hot it was rediculous. Even at 10am! Next time I will definitely bring water (duh!) which I'm sure will help because the last half mile I was really having a hard time due to the heat and thirst. (You'd think I would know these things since I've lived in Florida my WHOLE life. LOL)
Oh, and in case you're wondering, I did track points yesterday and I'm tracking today. This week is off to a great start! 🙂

How to Change Dungeon Types
Description: by Alkalund
Categories: Tutorials (1.09x)
In this tutorial I'm going to explain a modmaking trick that can add great customization to your mod; I'm talking about changing dungeon types. Basically what we're going to do is change what a dungeon level looks like.
For example, once you've grasped the concepts discussed here you will
be able to turn the Den of Evil into an Ice Cave (just like the ones in
Act 5), or maybe replacing the Maggot Lair with even more Palace Cellar
Levels. The options are many, but for the scope of this tutorial I'm
going to show how to make the Den of Evil look like an Act 5 Ice
Two files are required for this tutorial, namely levels.txt and lvlmaze.txt. We will start explaining some of the key columns in levels.txt for this kind of modification:
this column control which palette the game is going to use for a level.
It is very important that you set the correct palette here, otherwise
your graphics can turn out weird. Here's what the numbers in this
column mean:
0 - This level uses the Act 1 palette
1 - This level uses the Act 2 palette
2 - This level uses the Act 3 palette
3 - This level uses the Act 4 palette
4 - This level uses the Act 5 palette
LevelType: this colum determines which set of graphic tiles the level will use. To know what the numbers in this column mean, refer to lvltypes.txt. For example, LevelType=33 means the level use the graphic tiles from the Act 5 Ice Caves.
Vis0-Vis7: control how levels connect with each other. Refer to the Creating Multi-Level Dungeons tutorial by SiLenTx to understand how to work with these columns;
Warp0-Warp7: control which warps
a level use. A warp is the object that connect levels; the cavern
entrances in act 1, or the staircases all over the game are examples of
warps. To know what the numbers in these columns mean, refer to lvlwarp.txt. For example, Warp 64 is the stairs connecting Travincal to the Durance of Hate level 1.
I'll now detail the process of making the Den of Evil look just like an
Act 5 Ice Cave: Open levels.txt, and find the Den of Evil row; it is
the row called Act 1 - Cave 1. We want to use Act 5 graphic tiles for this level, so we put 4 in the Pal column, in order to avoid palette problems. Next we need to change its LevelType; as stated before, the Act 5 Ice Caves are LevelType 33, so put 33 as the LevelType of the Den of Evil.
After that, we need to modify the warp used to connect the Den of Evil
to the surface. To do this, you will modify values in the Warp0
column. Check the Warp0 value for the Den of Evil. It's 4. To see what
kind of warp this is, open LvlWarp.txt. Warp Id 4 = Act 1 Cave Up, as
expected. The one we want is Id 73, Act 5 Ice Caves Up. So, simply change the Warp0 of the Den of Evil from 4 to 73. This is all we will modify in levels.txt (for now). Save it and exit.
Now open lvlmaze.txt. The important columns in this file are SizeX, SizeY, and Rooms. Originally for the Den of Evil (Act 1 - Cave 1), we have
Rooms = 1
SizeX = 24
SizeY = 24
We want to change the Den of Evil into an Ice Cave; have a look at the column called Act 5 - Ice Caves 1, at the end of the lvlmaze.txt file. These are the values you will find:
Rooms = 10
SizeX = 16
SizeY = 16
To complete the modifications, change the Rooms, SizeX, and SizeY columns of the Den of Evil to 10, 16, 16 respectively (exactly as the ice cave). Save and exit.
You are now ready to enter the game and test the changes to the Den of
Evil. If all was modified correctly, the Den will look exactly as an
Act 5 Ice Cave!!
There is a small problem though, and you will soon notice it: the
original Den of Evil has only one warp (the one leading to the Blood
Moor). However, the Act 5 Ice Caves have 3 warps.
That means when you change the Den into an Ice Cave, you will get 2
extra warps!! You have to make sure the extra warps are connected
somewhere. In our example they aren't connected anywhere yet, and so
Diablo 2 will give you this warning uppon approaching one of these
Location : C:\Projects\Diablo2\Source\D2Common\DRLG\RoomTile.cpp, line #686
Expression : ptWarp
Ok, so we need to go back to levels.txt and do some more changes (again I refer you to the Creating Multi-Level Dungeons tutorial by SiLenTx, knowledge on the Vis columns is required for the
following changes). We must link these two extra warps somewhere; this
is totally up to you and your needs, but I'll detail here how to:
1) use one warp to connect The Den of Evil with the Underground Passage Level 1
2) use one warp to connect The Den of Evil with the Underground Passage Level 2
The following diagrams show what we will accomplish with this change:
Original level disposition
Stony Field
Underground Passage 1 -> Dark Wood
Underground Passage 2
Level disposition after the changes
Stony Field
Underground Passage 1 -> Dark Wood
Den of Evil <- Blood Moor
Underground Passage 2
Start by opening levels.txt and looking at the row called Act 5 - Ice Cave 1. This level uses the Vis0, Vis1, Vis2 columns. Since we've changed the Den of Evil into a level of the same type as this one, we must use the Vis0, Vis1, Vis2 columns for the Den of Evil as well, otherwise it won't work. The changes in the Vis columns will be:
Act 1 - Cave 1 (Den of Evil, Id = 8 ): Vis0 = 2, Vis1 = 14, Vis2 = 10
Act 1 - Cave 3 (Underg. Passage 1, Id = 10): Vis4 = 8
Act 1 - Cave 3 Treasure (Underg. Passage 2, Id=14): Vis1 = 8
You also need to enable the Warp1 and Warp2 in the Den of Evil, simply put Warp1 = 74 and Warp2 = 75
in the Act 1 - Cave 1 row, exactly as what is found in the Act 5 Ice
Cave row. Save and exit, the warps problems are now solved and you can
test it going to the Den of Evil again. This time, there will be no ptWarp warning, and the extra warps will be connected to the Underground Passages, levels 1 and 2.
This completes the modifications, you have now a working Ice Cave in Act1!
I'd like to add some comments though:
1 - The value in the Rooms
column indicates the size of the dungeon; the bigger the value, the
bigger the dungeon is. You can change this to whatever you want, but
keep in mind too small values may not work in all cases. For example,
if you left Rooms = 1 for the Den of Evil and changed it into an Ice
Cave, you would get this assertion uppon entering the game and
approaching the Den:
FILE: C:\Projects\Diablo2\Source\D2Hell\SRC\Archive.cpp LINE: 59 --------
File Read Error
Location : C:\Projects\Diablo2\Source\D2Hell\SRC\Archive.cpp, line #59
Expression : 0
In this particular modification, using Rooms >= 2 works fine.
2 - What we did was basically only change the graphic tiles the
level uses. Objects that would spawn in an Act 5 Ice Cave (like Evil
Urns for example) will not appear in our Icy Den of Evil, unless we
also modify the ObjGrp0-ObjGrp7 and ObjPrb0-ObgPrb7 columns in levels.txt; they control what objects can spawn on a level.
