This past weekend we were able to drive out to visit my husband's brother and his family in San Diego! They were incredibly gracious in opening their home to the four of us and squeezing themselves into one bedroom so we could squeeze ourselves into the other bedroom – without that hospitality, it would have been a lot harder financially for us to travel out there, and we want to try to maintain the friendship between the cousins in a way that is difficult if we only see them for Thanksgiving and Christmas, so the trip was a priority for us.
While the weather didn't exactly encourage the kind of outdoor beach-y activities we'd hoped for (cold and rainy, anyone?), we did still have a great time with family. Limerick in particular loved interacting with his cousin F (who is Rondel's age) and Rondel loved the adventure of a new city. And to my great surprise and relief, both boys handled the long car ride incredibly well; we only had to stop in Yuma both coming and going, and the boys were relatively cheerful even when they weren't sleeping or snacking.
My in-laws have a year pass to Sea World, and used their guest passes to take us for the day. The sea turtle exhibit was one of our favorites – the kids wanted to sit and watch the fish forever! Fish always leave me amazed at God's creativity: there are so many unique shapes and colors that you don't see in land animals.
Rondel was also hugely impressed by the orca whales and their ability to jump right out of the water!
The sea lions were another exciting exhibit as Rondel and his cousin actually got to feed them by dropping tiny fish over the edge! It kind of looks like he is trying to climb over the edge himself though! This was also the first exhibit where Limerick (who had fallen asleep on the drive over and then woke up too early) stopped clinging to our necks and became keenly interested in what was happening around him, which made me quite happy.
The next day we attempted to go to the beach despite the cool and cloudy weather, and Rondel and his cousin had a blast running and digging in the sand. Rondel even got completely knocked over by a wave at one point and got back up with a huge smile on his face – not at all a characteristic reaction for my sensitive boy. But he has always loved the beach, from the first time he set eyes on it two summers ago, and this visit was no exception.
The closest Limerick got to the water – see how he's nestled up to my husband so sadly? It wasn't like him at all.
To top off the whole weekend, my parents surprised us by deep-cleaning the entire house while we were away! There isn't much nicer than coming home to a sparkling clean house after being gone for a few days 🙂 And so I have been basically feeling very blessed and very loved this week, basking in the friendship of our extended family and the generosity of my parents. Sometimes I think I must be the most fortunate person in the whole world, to have these people loving me so much!
Head on over to Like Mother, Like Daughter today to join the link-up and share in each others' joy or travails from the week!
So glad you enjoyed your visit to my hometown! I love to visit my father who still lives there.

"Another year in paradise! One week home and we already miss Huatulco. It is definitely a restful holiday. we stayed ag"
Another year in paradise! One week home and we already miss Huatulco. It is definitely a restful holiday. We stayed again at Best Western, Posada Chahue which is located between Santa Cruz and Crucecita. Great location. Hotel is friendly and mostly quiet -except when we and our friends are there ! Seriously, a really a nice place. Rooms are immaculate and very comfortable. Restaurant has great food. All staff including the manager Hector - are extremely nice and accommodating.Very safe, clean and easy to get around to a number of restaurants in either little town and several beautiful clean beaches. Will definitely return next year - already booked!
"Best Western Posada Chahue Huatulco"
Another year of excellence!!! My brother and I returned to the best western in Huatulco during February. The staff were helpful,friendly and fun. They would go above and beyond to make your vacation everything you want it to be. There were many changes to the hotel which made the trip even better. Wifi, an elevator, loungers by the pool, a barbecue to use if you like and many room upgrades. The best western is small on size and has that small town vibe. And if you love coffee don't miss the espresso!! Thank you to the owner and staff for another wonderful experience.
"Good choice. Pet and disability friendly."
Pleasantly surprised. Never expected to find such a disability friendly hotel in Mexico. From toilets to shower and ramps, people with physical challenges are accommodated. Lovely and clean. Comfy beds, and super friendly staff. They even have an area for dogs to play. Also one for children which could make it noisy at times I suppose. Can't say I was overly impressed with food at the restaurant but everything else, including reasonable rates, pool table, rocking A/C swimming pool and a good location, compensates.
If you are a looking for a splendid place - with choices- for truly vegan fare in Huatulco then this is your go to spot. Quite amazing, really. I happened by the hotel as I was looking for a gym and the front desk staff was amazingly helpful and pointed me in the direction of Gym Huatulco (great place BTW - 300 pesos for 2 weeks). So tonight in looking for some vegetarian food I thought I'd drop by the restaurant there and look at what they had on offer.....much to my surprise they had 6 different veggie/vegan dishes. I got the vegan cannelloni and it was SUPERB! I don't think I've ever eaten such a tasty yet light dish....exquisite! The staff were so happy and upbeat and the manager and I ended up talking about how challenging it is to keep Vegan options afloat here. SO, if that's what you like, this is where you should go! Spotlessly clean restaurant and FANTASTIC R and B sound track playing, all the while high level football on the telly. What more could you want! Enjoy, you won't be disappointed.
"Very good for what it is..."
..and I'll add a couple of details for what it isn't, for Canadian travelers. It's a solid good hotel in a seaside city: - Around 30 rooms but very smart design, the layout is impressive for the available surface. - Rooms are large and very well maintained and cleaned. Some have a small kitchen, small balconies (Juliet-style but you can exit and put your swimming suits to dry, no space for a chair), maybe four or five rooms have full balconies. - Air conditioning is very efficient and not noisy, safe included at no extra charge, free (and fast) Wi-Fi. - Good bathroom, water pressure can be low or slow to get warm. - Cable TV with around 90 stations, CNN + some movies + some sports in English. - Wheelchair accessible in all public areas and a couple of rooms. - Good restaurant, open year around 7 AM to 10 PM. A separate bar, both open air. - Pool rather large for a hotel this size - 11 loungers, free pool towels at the reception. - Great service, easy to find someone proficient in English if more complicated things are needed. - Very good location in Chahue - near Chedraui and inexpensive taxi drives anywhere (many restaurants / tourist areas are in walking distance). What it isn't: - A beach resort - this "beach resort" has a different meaning in Huatulco vs. Cancun for example. - A resort with evening entertainment, daily group activities etc. What makes the difference for Canadian travelers from cities with direct flights is the price of an all-inclusive package vs. purchasing flights and hotel separately. At least in low season (up to mid-December) the all-inclusive package price can't be beaten if you have just one week to travel. We'd like to return, depending on the flight prices mostly; Huatulco is a nice gem (although weather can be too hot for some even in December), and this hotel is a great choice for this area.
We didn't stay here but we ate here a number of times. Good food and reasonably priced. The Mexican pizza was amazing and were those jalapeños muy caliente!! The pepperoni pizza was delicioso. Great breakfast menu.
Thank you for sharing your opinion Laura. Next time I suggest you to try our ribeye steak, cordon blue chicken, shrimp on coconut style dressed with tamarind sauce.
This February we stayed 3 weeks at the Best Western Posada Chahue in Huatulco. I cannot say enough about this hotel, the staff and the welcoming manager Hector. We were treated like family. Hector even asked for suggestions to make the hotel better. The staff could not do enough for us. From the front desk to the restaurant staff. Then pool is clean, and usually very quiet. Food at the hotel restaurant is excellent. Overall the hotel is comfortable and quiet - the rooms very clean. The location is great - between Santa Cruz and La Crucecita both within walking distance and right next door to a super store for groceries, beer and anything else you may want. Several restaurants are within walking distance and of course taxis are more than reasonable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a quiet, clean place to stay with friendly and accommodating staff. You can even bring your pets! Manon and Darryl - Delray Diva and Delray Dude!
Dear Manon and Darryl: in name of all our staff, we want to thank you bouth for this last three weeks. Earthquakes, laughs, jokes, cold beer, pizza and the most valuable thing, your friendship. You make our profession worth it every second. See you soon budys.
Hector and his staff are wonderful. Hector goes above and beyond to make sure you feel at home and are enjoying your holiday. He even helped us book a hotel in Mexico City for our layover on the way home. The hotel is small clean and safe just what we love. We are already booked for our return next year. We miss everyone already counting the days.
dear Deana: I´m glad to read that everything in your stay in mexico city was great. I miss you soo much guys. You took a part of us with you. I will be counting the weeks for your return. See you in 52 weeks.
I'm writing this review in the 2nd week of a 2 week stay. Last year after advise from friends we met while staying at a hotel nearby, we walked up to look at the Best Western. So glad we did. We were met by Hector the manager who showed us a couple of rooms. We were sold right then. After returning home we emailed Hector and booking for this year. We are both very low maintenance looking for a nice clean place to stay with nice staff. Well Hector and his team have gone over and above to make my wife and I feel like family. This is our fifth trip to Huatulco and thanks to everyone at the Best Western made this trip extra special. Our room was on the 3rd floor looking over the mountains with a large balcony, 2 chairs and table and a lounge chair. Everyday our room was spotless with fresh towels, coffee and water. Food in the restaurant was amazing and very reasonable. I could go on and on. Don't let the name fool you. The Best Western Posada Chahue is a top notch hotel in a perfect location within walking distance to shopping, beach and downtown. Special thanks to Hector and all the staff. Sergio for helping us get to the beach. Antonio in the restaurant and bar. Also really like to thank Maguel and Tito for taking 6 crazy Canucks out for the day of fun and sun.
As always service was excellent, food was delicious a great combination between traditional and healthy, close to local stores,downtown and of course the beach, nice and clean,quiet place, rooms are well clean and comfortable, all the employees were very friendly and helpful, thank you Best Western!!!
"My stay January 18-22 2018 was Amazing!"
"not really what would be expected in a best western"
the staff were excellent. the food was great. all around i have no complaints. best western just keep up the good work. they were all very accommodating, the kitchen staff, the bellboys, the room cleaners, i have great compliments for all of them. they all get a big bouquet.
You are wonderful. Thank you so much for your kind compliments. We hope to have more often world wide shoppers club members.
"High Quality Hotel in quiet Huatulco."
The hotel has a home feeling. The rooms are very nice, comfortable style, super clean & quiet. The employees actually help for good. the restaurant is awesome!!! All natural food all fresh, excellent variety.
"Good value, nice location and nice staff"
The hotel is well maintained and the staff is very nice and helpful. The location is very quiet and is between the center of town and the harbor (i.e. about 15 min walk to the center of town or the harbor). The restaurant is very good and there is also a small bar area above the pool. We did have a booking issue: we booked a king bed room through Expedia. On arrival we were given an upstairs room with two double beds (the double beds are seriously hard). We were told all the kings were booked. We decided to stay for the first night and the next day we were told that a queen bed room was available and they would move us into it for the remainder of our stay. They also eventually provided a refrigerator (which would have been included in the king bed room). We did notice a few very small roaches when we first moved into the queen room (which was downstairs) not sure if it is a hotel issue or a previous guest but no others were seen after the first day. We do not know if the booking error was Expedia's or the hotel's but the hotel staff did try to correct the issue . The staff was helpful and very pleasant so we are giving them the benefit of the doubt. PS the queen bed was much softer.
This is an excellent hotel. Its rooms are spacious, comfortable, airy and bright. The food is superb. The manager and his staff are extraordinarily friendly and helpful. The swimming pool is super-clean and nice. And there's an easy, pleasant walk to the beach. Plus -- given all these virtues -- it's an incredible bargain!
we can´t be less than greatfull for your awesome coments. I wish you a happy christmas and a 2017 full of trips, love and peace. We hope to see you again.
"Thanks for your remarkable hospitality"
Impulsively booked a family vacation to Huatulco and ended up here. Though we don't speak Spanish, we survived the week-long stay thanks to the genuinely friendly, patient hotel staff. Our daytime itinerary was packed so we had many early breakfasts and late dinners at their restaurant. We never tired of their small but tasty selection of vegetarian options and couldn't wait to savour fresh watermelon juice. The hotel grounds were immaculate and the spacious room we stayed in was well-furnished, cleaned daily, and air-conditioned. After the day's escapade, it was always welcoming to enter the room to cute animals thanks to Leo's mastery in the art of towel origami. Their wifi connectivity was solid and there were plenty of outlets available in the room to charge multiple electronic devices. My family and I enjoyed our time at this hotel and would stay here again since we are walkaholics. The hotel is conveniently located next to the Super Che grocery store, easy walk to Azteca Bank for currency exchange, and a leisurely walk or short cab ride to the neighboring towns and beaches.
Guests like you give us sense in our daily life. We will pass your comments to the staff. Keep your journey happy. We hope to see you soon.
They serve great breakfast! Tasty fresh fruit and amazing juices! A must try is their green juice very refreshing and a great start to your morning! The staff is friendly and very helpful. Quick service and good prices! Nice quiet atmosphere.
While we rated the BWP an overall 3, we really would like to have gone with 3.5 to perhaps even a 4, but more a 3.5. From the moment we arrived the staff at the BWP were simply the most gracious and helpful that we can remember. The hotel was clean, the restaurant was well staffed, excellent food and very clean! The grounds were well maintained and albeit the pool area a bit smaller, it suited this hotel perfectly and was also well maintained. But it was really all about the staff! Hector, our host, all of his staff just couldn't do enough to make our stay a good one. Special thanks to Judith and Carmen at the front desk and to Antonio in housekeeping. Bravo!
You are very generous feeding us back. I pass your mentions to the team. look forward to see you soon again.
"Security is BIG ISSUE. BEWARE."
As a mexican traveler, being in several countries I must say I am dissapointed. I got a phone call at 2 am in the morning. This phone call was sent through the reception. This was a big scam where my personal data was taken. I asked for a full reimbursement due to the lack of security protocols. Please BEWARE. That night I was not the only one, another couple got into the same situation. My scam lasted 40 minutes, while the other couple lasted 4 hours. Although the city feels safe, the lack of security in the hotel makes your nights hell.
Lamentamos el incidente y comprendemos su reclamo; efectivamente Huatulco es uno de los destinos turísticos más seguros del país y por desgracia las llamadas de extorsión que se realizan en toda la república mexicana a hoteles, negocios y en la mayoría de los hogares "burlan" de distintas maneras los protocolos de seguridad personal y de las empresas. Ya se le aviso a su agencia de viajes que no habría cobro por nuestra parte de la estancia. Bendiciones y disculpas por parte de todo el equipo.
From the minute your taxi arrives, you are in the gracious and capable hands of Hector Perez and his staff. The rooms are clean and comfortable as are the pool and lounging chairs. There is an restaurant adjoining the hotel which has fairly good food and excellent service. About a block from the hotel is a supermarket where you can pick up fresh fruit and bread for a real bargain. Souvenirs, etc. are within walking distance in Santa Cruz. I was there for six days and would go back again in a minute.
"Excellent hotel for people the like to do their own thing "
3 nights, 3 people in a double room. close to where you want to be, although its so hot and humid we wouldn't even want to walk down the street, we just drove! parking was free and almost just on the street so it was nice we could see it from the room. we were on the second floor, nice balcony with furniture (we only used it to dry our clothes after hand-washing which dries very quickly!). room was comfortable, beds, pillows, towels all nice. get 2 free bottles of water a day- EXTRA nice!. front desk and bell service-all staff very friendly and helpful. didn't use the pool table or air hockey but did use the pool and restaurant. pool was warm and small but overall nice to have. free breakfast wasn't bad either-hot cakes were great! we had dinner one night and desert was awesome-except the flan tasted like fridge, but the crepes were fantastic! Wi-fi was great and lots of plugs! on our next stay would definitely come back.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your comments. We owe you a home made flan for your next stay!. We hope to see you soon.
"Good value for price - recommended"
"Great location, friendly & helpful staff"
A centrally located small hotel with a warm staff, beautiful public areas and very good food. It was especially nice to meet other guests from many different countries. Much more pleasant here than the larger hotels that cater to the package tours.
A lovely small hotel, in a quiet part of Huatulco. Pretty pool area, with very clean, comfortable facilities. A nice bar, and a great restaurant. All you could want in pristine accommodation, a quick taxi ride or easy walk to El Centro, beaches nearby. From the moment I arrived until my departure, I was treated like a queen. The manager went out of her way to honor my rather convoluted booking and could not do enough to ensure that my stay was perfect. The staff is genuinely welcoming. All, truly caring people who do their jobs with an easy grace, sincerity and joy. I felt like I was in the company of the sweetest, most competent, endearing people in every moment of the day. I have stayed in many hotels in my life, but have never been so impressed with the quality of the staff, from the manager, to reception, the servers, the housekeepers and the doormen. These people are in a class all their own; in fact, they embody the real meaning of class. Prices are reasonable. You do not have to be rich to stay here, but you will feel richer in many ways if you do. Certainly one of the nicest hotel experiences I have ever enjoyed, with the best staff in the world! I miss them all!!! And there is no sweeter way to start your day than with a huge breakfast served by the beloved man, Antonio.

UPI almanac for Wednesday, July 18, 2007.


Nothing was submitted this month but that doesn't mean I wasn't still working and writing. In fact, even though I wasn't writing every day it was one of my most productive non-November writing months yet. My writing related goal for Writo de Mayo and MayNoWriMo was to write another 10K words towards a previous NaNo project about a Barbarian Shamaness who must travel to a city to obtain more wort to save her village. Without this vital ingredient for the medicine her village could be decimated.
Thanks to not actually writing for 12 days straight, I didn't make my goal. I was able to add 5930 words though. Rereading the beginning chapter I realized it's not the beginning. It should be part of a flashback. As much as I wanted to edit it and change things I didn't do it.
I'm sure some of you will recognize what I call "shiny syndrome". You know… when you get a great NEW idea, or you see a market that another piece would be perfect for after some edits and you're tempted to temporarily abandon your current project? It tried to strike me several times during the month but I successfully resisted each time.
Participating in Writo de Mayo and MayNoWriMo helped me be more focused, I think. I wrote down my goals where other people could see them and had to update my progress regularly. To be honest, I don't know if anyone else read them or not.
Attending Coyote Con provided me with the opportunity to chat with and get to know people I probably would not have met any other way. Overall I'm pleased with the way May ended.
Way back in 2007 a LiveJournal community I belong to decided they wanted to tackle a writing project similar to NaNoWriMo. And thus in January of 2008 the month of May became Writo de Mayo. The idea was to pick a writing goal and stick to it for a month.
The NaNoLJers community is still holding Writo de Mayo. The first year I decided to write a short story each day based on a prompt. Not all of the stories were complete first drafts but I got a lot of writing done.
In 2009 I decided to start a second draft of my 2008 NaNo project. It's an urban fantasy and I did not finish the second draft. I recognized some big holes in the flow of the novel. It was only two months ago that I figured out the main one.
This year I've decided to add another 10,000 words to my unfinished 2007 NaNo project. That first week in November was when the current Resident Corgi came to join our family. I had honestly forgotten how disruptive adding a new member to the household could be. Towards the end of the month I made some big writing pushes but didn't get anywhere near the 50,000 mark.
Glancing through what I have so far has convinced me I'm a better writer than I was at that time. The opening scene I thought would be dramatic will work better as a flashback. But I'm not allowing my inner editor out. No way. This month is for writing.

not had as good results as I am currently getting.
pains, issues with my hips and groin.
treatment and would fully recommend them.
Alan, really pleased to hear you're doing so well. Its always a pleasure having you in clinic. Thanks for the review and kind words.
A big thank you to James for putting my knee to rights, I had a few sessions as when I had knee problems I could not wait for physio via the NHS as I had a holiday of a lifetime planned in USA, especially San Francisco which would involve lots of walking up very steep hills. James set me to work and I am pleased to say my knee held up well in the States and is getting better all the time. On my return the NHS physio came through and on an assessment with them the form they asked me to complete for pain levels was moderate, a few weeks back it would have been severe. I no longer qualify for physio as am on the mend, not there yet but James put me on the right path and if I need the odd top up session I would be more than happy to go to James again. Thank you James I am carrying on with the exercises and hope to go from strength to strength and who knows maybe jogging past Faye Pattison in the near future.
Karina! Thats great!! So nice to hear your knee held up on your Holiday of a Lifetime in the USA - Keep up the good work and you know where we are if you need us.
I was suffering bad back pain for several weeks and my doctor's medication was not helping at all. I decided to get in touch with Faye Pattison. She suggested I meet James to see how he could help me. He was so friendly putting me at ease and so professional in his treatment. He worked on my lower back and upper thigh muscles. The results were so good and I did look forward to my session of manipulation. The pain is all but gone I can walk better and am so pleased with the results of my treatment. Will be going back for holding sessions to make sure all stays well. Thank you James will certainly recommend you to anyone with similar problems.
Thank you Danuta for your kind review. Its been great getting to know you and hearing how well you are doing.
Such a wonderful Team and so knowledgeable. Thank you all.
In April I ruptured my posterior cruciate ligament, and originally thought I would be out of action for up to a year. Thanks to the fantastic care and attention of Faye and her team I was (literally) back up and running in under 4 months. The level of support, primarily from Faye but also from Hayley and David, has been exemplary with expert treatment, knowledgeable guidance and clear, friendly communication throughout. I have already recommended Faye and her team to friends and family, and would not hesitate to do so again.
Thank you for all your help and support over the past weeks and months – it's been better than I could have imagined.
Andrew, thats so kind, thank you for leaving such lovely words. Its been a pleasure helping and we are all so pleased we have exceeded your expectations.
Following some clearing out of a friends shed, I pulled my back, and was in agony, barely able to walk, and sitting was even worse. Literally one session with James of combined soft tissue massage and acupuncture, and the next day I was on the mend. It took me a few days to get back to full mobility, but the severe pain and restriction of movement never returned. Brilliant Service, thanks James for sorting out my back.
Always a pleasure helping you Teresa - Appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!
The service is fantastic because you get your sore limbs fixed with a quality massage and the biscuits are nice too!
After injuring my shoulder I contacted Faye Pattison Physiotherapy after they were recommended by friends. Faye was always very prompt at replying whenever I contacted her and advised me to see James for soft tissue therapy, James was very good and effective, and always communicated with me, what he was are going to do after just 2 treatments my shoulder is feeling so much better and James also worked on my back where he could also feel that I had some areas that benefit from soft tissue therapy. Would definitely recommend the practice.
Thank you for the kind words Jackie, a pleasure to help!
Awww thank you Anne-Marie for your kind words. Apparently friends are noticing a difference with your face which is fantastic! Always a pleasure to help with your injuries too.
I have been attending the Faye Pattison physiotherapy and I rate the clinic 5 star. Having been diagnosed with severe osteoporosis 3 years ago I developed problems which have left me unable to walk any distance.
During the year I have been treated by James for soft tissue therapy and Hayley who I found to be very kind and considerate and who has improved my mobility and pain levels.
I have also had two sessions of acupuncture with James recently to help with my sciatica pain. I have been able to get a good night's sleep which has been fantastic whereas before I was having to get up at approximately 4:30am in order to move around to relieve the pain.
I recommend the practice to friends and family.
Thank you Norma. Always put a smile on our face seeing you in clinic.
From all of us at Faye Pattison Physiotherapy!

The Mileage Rectifier is a separate application that links to the information held within Business Manager. Its icon is very much like that used for Business Manager, and can usually be found alongside it on your desktop or wherever else you use to access the applications.
The Rectifier is designed to meet the Mileage and Travel calculation needs of Clients who require more than simply calculating between Visits. The Rectifier can be used to add rules and bespoke requirements to how mileage is calculated e.g. too and from home, not including Visits with an interval greater than 60 minutes etc. The requirements are set by applying sets of rules to the mileage totals. This document gives a brief overview of Mileage Rectifier functionality. However, in reality it's more like that you will have a set of rules built for you by iCareHealth's Support Team or by a Consultant. This document will also show you how to run a rule set once built, which is a really easy process.
Remember, as with the standard method for calculating mileage, the system will only recognise the mileage and distance a Worker has completed if contained within the same Shift. The system still works by calculating routes based on Pinpointed Client or Location addresses so ensure these are accurate.
Where the system cannot find a suitable route, an 'as the crow flies' distance is applied and travel time is set to zero.
It's more than likely that a Mileage Rectifier rule set will built with you by Support or a Consultant, but to highlight some options that may pique your interest when deciding whether to implement the Rectifier or not some settings are listed below. These may also help current users who wish the tweak their rule set.
ApplyCmmMileage - Uses the mileage calculated by the GPS locations returned by Mobile. This adjustment also allows you to calculate mileage travelled within a visit. For travel time, the start/end times of the visits and shifts are used.
ApplyMaxCapping - Allows you to set a maximum value for a distance or time e.g. any mileage above 10 would be capped at 10.
ApplyMileage - Applies the calculated travel and distance figures to the Visit.
ApplyMinCapping - Allows you to set a minimum value for a distance or time e.g. any travel time below 3 minutes gets capped to 3 minutes.
ApplyPostcodeMatch - Applies an adjustment to the mileage based on a postcode match e.g. for visits that have an address 'IP11 2DS' set the mileage to 0, or any visits in SE1 or SE2, add 3 minutes to the travel time.
ApplyValueForGap - Applies an adjustment if a gap of a certain number of minutes is detected before or after the visit e.g. if a gap of 60 minutes is detected prior to a visit, set mileage to 0.
Reset - Resets the distance and time values to zero.
SubtractValue - Subtracts a set amount from the distance or time, but will not allow negatives e.g. subtract 3 miles from the first and last visit.
Throttle - This slows down the Mileage Rectifier. If network/internet bandwidth or CPU utilisation is too high, setting a throttle value will slow down the process.
ApplyValueForGapApplies an adjustment if a gap of a certain number of minutes is detected before or after the visit e.g. if a gap of 60 minutes is detected prior to a visit, set mileage to 0.
Address for start and end of shift – Amend the address used to calculate the mileage to from first Visit in the Shift, and from the last Visit in the Shift. The Default value is the worker's home address, but all locations set up in Business Manager will also be available for selection.
Filter Workers - Allows the user to select on certain workers to apply the mileage logic to. Can be filtered by individual, category, contract or group. The default value is for workers not to be filtered.
Visit types to ignore - Visits of the selected types will be ignored. The mileage values will not be adjusted for visits of these types, and the routes between the preceding and following visits will bypass this address. This should be used if you have 'Travel time' / 'break' or similar visits configured. Visits marked as 'Break' are also automatically ignored.
Note: Multiple Adjustments, each with different configurations, combine to make a 'Set' of rules. These Sets of rules can be saved as a file and run through the rectifier whenever you like. As such, you can have multiple 'Sets' of rules and run them against different worker contracts etc. To solve particularly complex business logic problems against one group of workers, you can even run 2 'Sets' of rules one after the other to achieve the desired outcome.

U.S. residents love a metropolis Virginia Votes 2012
Forget Ohio, it's all about Virginia…and demographics
By Dustin Cable On November 7, 2012 ·
In my humble opinion, the biggest news coming out of the election last night was not Ohio. Instead, the polling results coming out of Virginia, that heavily favored Obama early in the evening, set the tone for the entire night. The story of what happened in Virginia exemplifies where our politics in this country now stand. Obama's repeat victory in the Old Dominion underscores what was probably the biggest factor in the 2012 election: demographics.
For our regular readers, especially those who read our Red State, Blue State report back in July, this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Ohio, Florida, and other swing states are used to the attention and have been "purple" for a long time now. Obama's repeat victory in Virginia, however, a state that has voted consistently for Republican presidential candidates before 2008, is really big news. More than anything else, Obama's victory in Virginia means that 2008 wasn't a fluke, but rather represented a fundamental political realignment in the country.
That realignment is bad news for Republicans. The Republican party has serious demographic problems. Virginia's shifting demographics, like that of the nation, have been dramatic in just the last few decades with Hispanics and Asians driving most population growth and changes in the electorate. Republicans have had considerable difficulty gaining the votes of these groups. In Virginia, most of the influx and growth in Hispanic and Asian populations is occurring around the Washington D.C. suburbs in Northern Virginia (NoVa). It was therefore not surprising that NoVa was the focus of the national news media, and results from that region look more like those from 2008 than from 2004.
In our previous post "Climbing Mount NoVa in 2012," I stressed the importance of Loudoun and Prince William Counties in NoVa in deciding the outcome in Virginia, and this held true last night. The margins of victory for Obama in these key suburban counties almost match what he got in 2008. Four years ago, Obama won Loudoun County with 54% of the vote and Prince William with 58%. Last night, Obama won both counties with 52% and 57% of the vote, respectively.
Obama's share of the vote in key NoVa Counties
Obama 2008
Fairfax County 61% 59%
Arlington County 73% 69%
Loudoun County 54% 52%
Prince William County 58% 57%
Of course the reason we care so much about NoVa is the huge number of votes in that region. Last night, votes from NoVa accounted for over 27% of all votes cast in Virginia, a similar percentage as in 2008 (actually a little smaller share than what I was expecting…but results are still coming in). The number of votes from Loudoun and Prince William Counties alone was over 315,000. Much of Obama's victory in NoVa is due in large part to minority groups in the region.
Another big story coming out of Virginia last night was black turnout. Blacks accounted for nearly 19% of the electorate four years ago, and, if you believe CNN exit polling, blacks made up 20% of the voters in Virginia this year. This is a remarkable development in the history of politics in Virginia, a state that not too long ago exemplified the Jim Crow South and voting suppression. We will get better turnout numbers in the months to come, however anecdotal evidence and news reports do suggest that black turnout was indeed high last night.
There's no doubt minority turnout helped Obama. According to the Virginia exit polls, Obama won 93% of black voters and 65% of Latino voters — essentially identical to his 2008 support of 92% and 65%. Asian voters gave Obama 66% of their votes, up from 61% in 2008. And while Obama's support among white Virginia voters was only 38% in 2012, this represents no real change from 2008 (39%).
In short, Republicans will have a hard time winning a state like Virginia if it remains a party that primarily appeals to older whites. What is true in Virginia is true nationwide and in many other states that are experiencing similar demographic trends. If the Republican party does not start reaching out to these growing parts of the electorate, like Hispanics, will states like Texas become purple states? Undoubtedly we will be seeing more news coverage in the next few weeks on this dilemma within the Republican Party, and how the party establishment and the ideological purists wage this debate will be a central question for the party's future.

Gehan Homes advertise some of the most beautiful floor plans and they are not a fully custom home builder but Gehan has some of the worse sales managers especially the one that is responsible for the Schertz TX area. The sales consultant in that area has exceptional customer service skills. Her ability to addresses her guest issues and acknowledge information that was not accurate giving via advertisement or during the floor planning stages is normally handled and compensated as quickly as possible. The problem: her sales manager seems to decide who she will help and who she will not. It's 2017 and Gehan should honor anything that comes as a standard in their homes especially when it's not written that upgrading one area will take away from another area. A floor plan such as the Stanford which is advertised with a bench seat in the master closet but not one single home was giving it except a model. Being told that it can't be placed in the other closet because floors plans have already been submitted and it's a structure issue is not accurate and that when Boss does walk through it would cause a problem. How about if everyone acknowledge the builder messed up and forgot to install it. So am being told I can't get any compensation for an error that's not my fault and the sales manager is adamant about not helping. Yet a client isn't happy that an electrical unit is in their backyard so deal is worked that he'll pay half for a different lot interesting obviously this isn't about saving money. I love the plan I picked out and was singing high praise (although reviews said others) of Gehan customer service skills but I guess I just happen to be one of many that's finding out that sales managers are not created equal!
We thought we would get a better build and better service from a Gehan Home. We were wrong.
We submitted our warranty repair list on August 21. Taylor did his walk-thru on August 29. According to our paperwork, your "goal is to have repairs scheduled and completed within 14 days from the time 'we' are contacted."

Q: How to Rollback previous transaction in Redshift I have run a command accidentally in Redshift, which is updating a few rows (around 100) of an existing table. Now, I need to remove the effect of that command, so I need to rollback this previous command. Also, I am using SQL Workbench/J in which I have selected the option of "autocommit".
Is there any way to rollback my faulty transaction?
Any suggestion or help would be appreciat

A: No, there is no way to undo the change after the data has been committed.

Rockets to hire Mike D'Antoni as coach
The Rockets have finally made their choice, hiring Mike D'Antonio as their new coach.
It's only fitting that the Houston Rockets, led by a player who doesn't play any defense, are hiring a coach that doesn't coach any.
The Rockets have made their choice, working to finalize a deal with Mike D'Antoni to be their new head coach, as first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski.
D'Antoni was an innovator with the Phoenix Suns from 2003-2008, setting trends that are clearly visible in today's NBA. He ran a fast-pace, high-octane offense centered around fast breaks, quick shots, pick-and-rolls and three-pointers. He averaged 53 wins a year in Phoenix, going to the Western Conference Finals in 2005 and 2006. But two failed stints in New York and Los Angeles since then have taken the shine off as he's been unable to duplicate the success he had with Steve Nash, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire and those Suns teams.
D'Antoni comes to the Rockets after nearly a full season as an assistant with the Sixers.
From a team needs standpoint, this is a shocking move. At his season-ending press conference (see video), Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was asked what the team was looking for in a coach.
"I think it's going to be someone who embodies what we need which is we need to get our defense stronger," said Morey.
In his 11-12 seasons as a head coach in the NBA, D'Antoni has never had a Top 10 defense.
On the other hand, is it really that surprising? Rockets owner Les Alexander makes these coaching hire decisions and has long been in love with those Phoenix teams. Former Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy, after being let go by the team in 2007, famously said that Alexander wanted to model the Rockets after D'Antoni's Suns.
"My owner had issues with my style of play," said Van Gundy then. "He wanted to be faster, Phoenix-like."
The problem is the Rockets, nearly a decade later, already implement many of these offensive philosphies. The team was 8th in offensive efficiency in 2015-16, shooting the second-most three-point attempts in the league per game. The problem was they didn't have the shooters/scorers. The key to improvement on offense, with or without D'Antoni, will be on roster upgrades — primarily adding shooters.
But upgrading their defense, which the team was expected to do by hiring a strong defensive coach, will now be more of a challenge. The Rockets were 20th in defensive efficiency last season.
D'Antoni has experience with both James Harden and Dwight Howard. He was an assistant coach with the 2012 USA Olympics team that Harden was a part of. He also coached Howard in 2012-13 with the Lakers, though it was not a great experience for either coach or player. It is largely expected that Howard, who holds a player option on his contract, won't be back with the Rockets.

"God is dead", the nietzschean cover of L'Equipe after the death of Maradona
This is how L'Equipe released its paper edition on Thursday.
The Argentinean star was a sensation in the field and the streets, to the point of having a "Maradonian" religion.
by beatriceg
"God is dead", the nietzschean cover...
By Beatriz García
The sudden death of Argentine soccer myth Diego Armando Maradona has made headlines worldwide beyond the sports arena. This shows that the controversial sportsman had already crossed the celebrity's barrier to go down in history long before even this last and thunderous goodbye that the fans and the press have given him.
Proof of this is the cover page with sacred and nihilistic airs that the French sports newspaper L'Equipe has dedicated to him, opening its paper section on Thursday with a resounding headline. "God is dead" (Dieu est mort), could be read on the header next to a photo of 'Pelusa' with the Argentine national team shirt.
It is not the first time that L'Equipe dedicates a striking cover to some ball genius to pay homage to him after his death. The same happened in 2016, when the Dutchman Johan Cruyff died and the newspaper headlined "He is the game". As it happened with Maradona, the newspaper opened with an image of the former player and coach of the FC Barcelona proudly wearing the Dutch shirt.
The God of soccer
Such a deification of Maradona is not new – he helped to feed it. Since the 1986 World Cup in Mexico he scored a goal with his hand in the quarterfinals against England and declared at the end of the game: "I didn't touch it (the ball), it was the hand of God."
Then, when Argentina beat Germany by three scores to two in the World Cup final, the myth of Maradona as "anointed" to score was already a fact.
In Argentina, where popular idols have a supernatural relevance, like Evita Perón or 'el Che' Guevara, there is even a "Maradonian" church with more than 50,000 members that considers him God, and whose followers congregated to worship him even before his admission to the hospital and until his death from a heart attack at his home in Tigre, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
In fact, and on the occasion of the death of the legend of songs, documentaries, and even seminars and studies, the house of the Argentine government, La Casa Rosada, announced it would host his wake.
In an interview conducted by the Argentine journalist Daniel Arcucci to Maradona, with whom he would have a professional and personal relationship, the star told him this about his condition as "God of soccer":
"If I have managed to be a living myth, I did not set out to be one. I am very grateful to you for the myth, but I am a human being like anyone else. Just because I've won some soccer battles or because I defend people the way I want to defend them, I don't believe in a myth. But I thank them! Do you know what happens? That here, for the Argentines, if you die, you are a phenomenon, but I am not going to give them the pleasure! I don't have to die to win a general consensus!"

We launched our Ewanrigg Junior School Council in 2006 and we are delighted with the maturity shown by our councillors.
Each class votes for two councillors, who then meet regularly to discuss school matters.
There is a Chair to the School Council, a Treasurer and a Minute Secretary who has to take notes and distribute them to all of the classes, the staff room and to Miss Craig.
School councillors report to Miss Bowman.
At Ewanrigg Junior School, each class has two class councillors, a girl and a boy that has been voted onto the school council. They have meetings in school that allows them to talk to their class and put forward any of the children's ideas for what they would like to see in school. The councillors also get the chance to meet with other Maryport schools in our joint school council.
The joint school council is a brilliant opportunity for our children to meet with other councillors and practise debating their ideas on how to improve our schools and community.
We asked some of our class councillors what it is like to be on the school council and what happens in our joint school council meetings. Click on the folders below to read what they said.

What should I do if my NYC house doesn't have a certificate of occupancy?
First, speak to the attorney who handled your sale.
Eden, Janine, and Jim/Flickr
April 30, 2018 - 10:00am
By Alanna Schubach
I bought a house, everything cleared at the title check, and then I found out several months after closing that the home has no certificate of occupancy. What should I do?
A certificate of occupancy is required for residential properties in New York City. The C of O describes a given building's legal use and type of occupancy, and buildings can't legally be occupied without one. It's unusual for homeowners to encounter the problem you describe, because ordinarily a buyer would learn about a house's C of O before closing, according to our experts.
"That would be a highly unlikely scenario, since a title report typically includes a copy of the certificate of occupancy, or some indication as to the fact that one does not exist, and, if so, why," says Aaron Shmulewitz, attorney with Belkin Burden Wenig & Goldman. "In addition, if there is no certificate of occupancy, a buyer's bank would also note that prior to closing, and might refuse to close."
However, there are certain circumstances under which a C of O might be out of date or nonexistent. Buildings in New York that were constructed before 1938, when the C of O requirement was enacted, may be exempt from having one, unless subsequent alterations changed their use.
"In order to determine whether there is a requirement that a home have a certificate of occupancy, the homeowner would want to contact the DOB for the locality in which the home is located," says Jeffrey Reich, partner at Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas. "If there is a requirement for a certificate of occupancy, the homeowner would want to consult with a local architect or building code consultant in order to determine the steps necessary for securing one."
You can look up any property's C of O on your own through the city's Buildings Information System. The lawyer who oversaw the closing of the sale should also be able to provide information.
"Check with the attorney who handled the transaction for the buyer, who in turn would speak to the title company and sellers counsel," advises Dean Roberts, attorney with Norris McLaughlin & Marcus.
Another potential C of O snag has to do with past renovations to the house. If a previous owner altered the building in a way that changed its occupancy (such as converting a single-family to a two-family) without updating the C of O, you'll need to address that yourself:
"Typically when the house closes, then it's the new owners responsibility," says Deanna Kory, a broker with Corcoran.
You'll have to apply for a new C of O with your borough's DOB office, which will then inspect your house before issuing one. Your best bet may be to hire an expediter to help you navigate the process of filing the correct paperwork.
"The degree of the problem is directly related to the degree of work and effort needed to secure a certificate of occupancy," Roberts says. "While it can be difficult and prolonged [to get your house in shape to qualify for a new C of O], the process itself is not inherently complex."

The Union – what is 'the union'? Why can't we have an English Parliament for English Laws?
A historical combination of four countries, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, which made up the United Kingdom, but now it's just that, past history.
Today, the United Kingdom consists of the same four countries but each now has its own 'devolved governments' apart from England.
We are constantly reminded by politicians that we 'live in a fair society', so, would it not be 'fair', that England has a Referendum which asks 'Do you want an English Parliament for English matters?'
For twenty-two years, England has had to share its law. Both the Senedd Cymru and Scottish Parliament have been in existence since May, 1997.
Scotland incessantly moan we want a 'second Independent Referendum' – it might just be that England and the other nations, no longer wish to align themselves with a country that allows 4 year olds to change gender without parents' consent, that being just one issue people are talking about?
Scotland had a Referendum, where the majority, 55.30% of the population, voted against Independence from the United Kingdom.
The UK government has repeatedly said it would not grant the consent. It argues that the referendum result in 2014 – when voters rejected independence by 55% to 45% – still stands, and points to quotes at the time from both Ms Sturgeon and her predecessor, Alex Salmond, that it was a "once in a generation" event.
At the same time, Wales too chose to have a devolved Government albeit marginally agreed by 0.6%. More recently in 2011, the Welsh were asked 'do you want the Assembly now to be able to make laws on all matters in the 20 subject areas it has powers for?' Overall, 63.49% voted 'yes'. However, the party standing for Independence, Plaid Cymru, only came third in the recent local elections, behind the Conservatives, with 13 seats to Labour's 30. It would appear that there is mixed feeling in Wales around Independence and what Independence means to the individual. Yet, it must be said, Wales has never been offered a Referendum on Independence. There have been several polls on the question of Wales being an independent country since 2014; the latest in January 2021 showed that 52% would vote to Remain in the United Kingdom.
Northern Ireland – north-east of the island of Ireland, Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and it too has a devolved government, Stormont. In 1973, the majority 98.9% voted in an Independence Referendum to Remain in the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland is a complex situation and the calls for reunification are still ongoing.
However, by the same token, England has never had a referendum on whether it too could devolve and have its own Parliament let alone an Independence Referendum.
Any talk of 'Scottish Independence' should be preceded by a Referendum in England as to an "English Parliament for English Laws".
This is where we are today because in May 1997, under Tony Blair's Labour Government, the creation of a devolved Welsh Assembly (Senedd Cymru) was created by a Referendum result of a narrow 0.6% margin, 50.3% voting yes. The creation of a devolved Scottish Government was also implemented at the same time after a Referendum was held whereby 74.29% majority voted in favour. Never were the English given their own Parliament. We obviously cannot vote on what happens in the other 3 nations of the 'Union', but they can have a vote or say in what happens in England. This is not a 'fair society'.
As it is reported, the Government will not entertain a second Scottish Independence Referendum. It was agreed by everyone that this was a 'once in a generation' event.
It is therefore only right in a 'fair society', that before any other referendum can take place, the English should be asked, 'do you want an English Parliament for English Laws?'
Turning again to Independence Referendums, before any second attempt by Scotland, surely Wales should be given its own Referendum and by the very least, those outside Scotland within the Union, Wales, Northern Ireland and England should be given the chance of a debate regarding any terms in a Second Independence Referendum for Scotland; after all, what is agreed will affect every other Union member.
How would the remainder of the union feel about losing 'part of its territory albeit through a democratic process?'
How would the rest feel of 'losing part of their image'; everything 'welsh', 'irish', 'scottish', 'english' makes up British identity and portrays on the world stage.
What about security; our armies?
If Scotland were ever to be able to rejoin the EU – would there not be a border between England and Scotland? According to Scottish Government statistics, England is Scotland's largest trading partner and an international border, would increase the cost of trade, as checks would no doubt be necessary.
Would Scotland be able to remain in the Commonwealth?
Would we allow Scotland to retain the English pound?
Would they remain under the Monarch?
Would Scotland repay their debts?
Would Wales get more under the Barnet Formula? Would it be scrapped?
Scotland receives a higher percentage of UK public spending per head than the rest of the countries that make up the 'nation'. Should we not be able to decide how that saving should be shared amongst the remaining countries?
So therefore, can we have a Referendum in England only for an English Parliament for English Laws so that all members of the 'Union' can be on the same level footing?
Looking to the future, we now seem to have three options :-
Do we remain as a 'union' with devolved powers for each union member?
Do we realise that we are in a mess, thanks to Tony Blair taking us towards this unsettled conundrum for the sake of votes for his own party, and move towards a more 'federal' type system?
Do we all break away independently? Creating four independent countries with its borders?
However we feel, would it not be appropriate or fair, in the first instance, to ask the remainder of the United Kingdom –
What do you want? Don't you want to live within a society that's fair?
Whatever happens, at least let's be fair, first England must have its own Parliament.

The MAT-62B is a Romanian plastic cased circular anti-tank blast mine. It is very similar to the Russian TM-62P2. The mine has a central fuze well which accepts the bakelite P-62 pressure fuze, which contains a CD-11R detonator. The mine can accept fuzes from the Russian TM-62 and TM-72 series of landmines. The low metal content of the mine makes it difficult to detect. A caseless version of the mine, the MAT-76 mine is also produced.

It is possible for the bakelite fuze to deteriorate in desert conditions i.e. reducing the activation pressure required to trigger detonation. In such cases there is a possibility that the mine may detonate simply by handling it.

Specifications
 Diameter: 0.32 m
 Height: 0.132 m
 Weight: 9.8 kg
 Explosive content: 7.2 kg of cast TNT
 Operating pressure: 200 kg +

Martin-Hautus The Pacific Peoples Learning Institute
Private Training Establishment (PTE) • 15 courses
Martin Hautus – The Pacific Peoples Learning Institute was established by Pulotu Arthur & Maretta Solomon in 1990, who saw the divide in education for school leavers (that did not gain university entrance) and also mature learners. They started with five students in Mangere, South Auckland just over 23 years ago and today have two campuses (Mangere & Onehunga) and a student body which annually numbers over 300. MHI is a category 3 establishment. The Directors both were born in the Pacific (Pulotu in Fiji & Maretta in Samoa) and know the reality and importance of Education especially in the lives of young Pacific Island people. They came to New Zealand in the late 1960's and have been passionate about education both teaching and studying the New Zealand curriculum. A proud achievement of theirs is graduating from the Massey University with Bachelors in (Adult) Education in 2004. A feat to admire also is their 5 children followed suit with degrees and post graduate studies in their respective areas. Martin Hautus is named after two of Mr Solomon's close colleagues during his 21 years of teaching at De La salle College. John Martin was a disciplinarian who was meant to spend 2 terms at the college but stayed for 10. Brother Matthew Hautus was a Lasallian Brother who was keen on education and a scholar. These two men hold a special place in the hearts of our directors and Martin Hautus remembers them.

More funding = fewer empty buildings = more fantastic guardians = more volunteering = better world!
At Dot Dot Dot we're absolutely delighted to have been chosen to receive a second round of funding through Nesta's Innovation in Giving programme. The scheme – funded by the Cabinet Office – exists to support and grow innovative ideas with potential to make a big difference to the amount of time or money that people give to good causes. It is incredibly flattering to have been backed by it not once but twice.
We were one of 17 organisations chosen to join the scheme this time last year, and we used the support we received to grow our team and strengthen our operational processes to allow us to look after significantly more properties and to house more brilliant guardians.
It has been a great year for Dot Dot Dot – we have grown from a start-up to a robust and sustainable business, and it has been a joy to work with the fantastic people who're living in our properties, and see how much effort they put into volunteering, and into contributing to a sense of community in the areas where they live.
And so it's incredibly exciting to have been chosen as one of four organisations to receive follow-on funding within the Innovation in Giving programme, to help us increase our scale even further while making sure that we also improve quality wherever we can.
With this backing, we're going to be able to focus on taking our service to new kinds of landlords and new geographical areas at the same time as making sure that we continue to give the landlords, guardians and communities we're already working with what they want and need.
It's fantastic to know that Nesta and central government believe in what we're doing at Dot Dot Dot, and want to support us to do even more of it – with half a million long-term empty homes in the UK, and a similar amount of empty commercial space, there's loads of space that we could be filling.
But the biggest reason why we're excited about the future at Dot Dot Dot is the huge number of awesome people who'll be able to do even more voluntary work with our help. We're delighted to be backed by the Innovation in Giving fund, and we're looking forward to using this support over the coming year to do even more and even better.

Occasionally, it becomes impossible for a parent to care for their child. In such a situation, it may be necessary for the parent to grant to another person the responsibility of caring for the child. In 2003, the Tennessee legislature enacted the Power of Attorney for Care of a Minor Child Act for situations where a parent is unable to carry out parental duties.
Some Hardships Make It Difficult To Be A Parent
The act allows a parent to give temporary care-giving authority to another person when a hardship prevents the parent from caring for the child. Although many situations can arise that prevent a parent from caring for their child, the law gives three specific situations where such a hardship might exist:
The serious illness or incarceration of a parent or legal guardian;
The physical or mental condition of the parent or legal guardian or the child is such that care and supervision of the child cannot be provided; or
The loss or uninhabitability of the child's home as the result of a natural disaster.
Although this list is not exhaustive, in order for the caregiver to enroll the child in a school within the zone of the caregiver's address, one of the three hardships listed must be present. Otherwise, on a case-by-case basis the school can, but is not required, to enroll the child. In any event, the school may require evidence of the address of the caregiver and evidence or documentation of the claimed hardship before allowing the child to enroll.
There may be other situations where a hardship exists that requires a parent to cede care-giving authority to another person. For example, the loss of income by the parent may make it impossible for the parent to care for a child. Job duties may require a parent to be absent and unable to care for a child. Other examples might include military service, an extended overseas mission trip, or time needed to study for a professional exam such as the bar exam or CPA exam.
Which Parent Has Authority To Give Power Of Attorney
If both parents are living and have legal custody of the child, then the power of attorney must be signed by both parents. If only one parent has custody, then that parent can sign the power of attorney so long as the other parent gives permission in writing to the appointment. If the other parent does not give permission in writing, then the parent with custody must write out an explanation on the document as to why the consent of the other parent cannot be obtained. In such a situation, the parent having custody must then send a copy of the completed and signed power of attorney to the other parent by certified mail, return receipt requested.
How Much "Power" Does The Power Of Attorney Give?
The power of attorney for care of a minor child may authorize the caregiver to enroll the child in school and extracurricular activities, obtain medical, dental and mental health treatment for the child, and even provide for the child's food, lodging, housing, recreation and travel. In short, the power granted to the caregiver is not limited and can consist of any power a parent possesses.
Important Things To Know About The Power Of Attorney For Care Of A Minor Child
The following are things to keep in mind when contemplating the use of a power of attorney for care of a minor child:
Both the parent and the caregiver must be a resident of Tennessee
A parent can include a legal guardian or legal custodian of the minor child
The power of attorney does NOT provide for legal custody in the caregiver
A parent can revoke the power of attorney at any time by giving notice to the local school and any healthcare providers who have relied upon the power of attorney, that the power of attorney has been revoked
No person who relies upon the power of attorney to render medical care or enroll the child in school can be sued or charged with a crime for carrying out the wishes of the caregiver
If the parent, caregiver or both try to use the power of attorney to fraudulently enroll the child in a school to which the child is not zoned, both the parent and the caregiver can be sued by the local school board for the costs of educating the child and can be liable for the school board's attorney fees as well
Consult A Tennessee Family Law Attorney First
A copy of the Tennessee statute "Power of Attorney for Care of a Minor Child Act" can be found here. Additionally, the actual form for Power of Attorney for Care of a Minor Child for can be found here. Although any parent can fill out the form on their own, it would be wise to consult an attorney for guidance before attempting such an important undertaking.

Read the following excerpt from an essay by Stephen Leacock. What is the main idea? A friend of mine who has ten thousand dollars a year told me the other day with a sigh that he found it quite impossible to keep up with the rich. On his income he couldn't do it. A family that I know who have twenty thousand a year have told me the same thing. They can't keep up with the rich. There is no use in trying. A man that I respect very much who has an income of fifty thousand dollars a year from his law practice has told me with the greatest frankness that he finds it absolutely impossible to keep up with the rich. He says it is better to face the brutal fact of being poor. He says he can only give me a plain meal, what he calls a home dinner—it takes three men and two women to serve it—and he begs me to put up with it. As far as I remember, I have never met Mr. Carnegie. But I know that if I did he would tell me that he found it quite impossible to keep up with Mr. Rockefeller.
